Speaker 1: the most. Take a pole top three or four selections
Speaker 1: for each person. What would yours be? I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. You dubbed for life, Yeah, something Seattle, Seattle.
Speaker 1: My actual gamer tag is zu side four. Crazy? How
Speaker 1: I got like that? That's number was four? My nickname
Speaker 1: was Zeus name my boys. You say zu side, This
Speaker 1: would be Judge dreads, Judge d I was thinking crazy
Speaker 1: for the cracking or something like like that with Seattle.
Speaker 1: But I like that. You like the crack crack like
Speaker 1: anything Seattle cracking. There you go, that's all right. News
Speaker 1: and Notes for the Cowboys. Jerry Jones was on the
Speaker 1: fan a couple moments ago, and I don't know what
Speaker 1: you thought about what he had to say on the radio,
Speaker 1: but I want to say he might have tipped his
Speaker 1: hand as to what could happen when Tyron Smith comes back.
Speaker 1: There is a chance that he does come back this week.
Speaker 1: Stephen Jones said that yesterday on the fan, But what's
Speaker 1: the situation at the left tackle spot and is there
Speaker 1: anything moving into the week to be encouraged enough. Everybody
Speaker 1: has sounded like tire and has a great chance to
Speaker 1: play this week, and look, they'll see how it goes.
Speaker 1: I asked Mike about it yesterday. The plan is for
Speaker 1: him to get into practice. On some level. It doesn't
Speaker 1: sound like it's going to be the heaviest Wednesday practice
Speaker 1: they've had because they know they've got this crazy stretch
Speaker 1: three games and twelve days ahead. But I think they
Speaker 1: feel good about it. So but yeah, to your point,
Speaker 1: Jerry was asked, what's your right tackle plan? He said,
Speaker 1: I don't know if we know now. Maybe that's Jerry
Speaker 1: just saying I don't want to tell you on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: even though he's he's kind of tipped his hand in
Speaker 1: the past, or at least given his impressions of what
Speaker 1: they might do. So I don't know. We'll see because
Speaker 1: I think both guys Karen Steele and law Collins played
Speaker 1: better in this past game at left tackle for Steel
Speaker 1: right tackle for Collins. I'm not sure what they should
Speaker 1: do either. I don't know if there's a clear cut
Speaker 1: answer here. I don't know how you guys feel about it,
Speaker 1: But how do you feel about it? I feel good
Speaker 1: about it. I feel good about what Taran Steele did
Speaker 1: against Atlanta. But you don't understand without the threa of
Speaker 1: a bona fide pass rush, you would expect him to
Speaker 1: be as good as he as he was. Obviously, those
Speaker 1: improvements have got to make this coaching staff feel a
Speaker 1: lot better about him right now when you think about
Speaker 1: three games in twelve days. I believe that's what this
Speaker 1: next stretch is going to be. When Tyren Smith, his
Speaker 1: availability is important to us right now. So if he's
Speaker 1: eighty percent, I set him. It doesn't matter ninety percent
Speaker 1: I sit him because we're gonna need him over this
Speaker 1: last stretch. And so like we face this each and
Speaker 1: every season with this stretch, and so it's very important.
Speaker 1: And Mike McCarthy talked about it in the pressor yesterday
Speaker 1: about how important just watching guys and monitoring health right
Speaker 1: now is to the squad. So if we don't do that,
Speaker 1: I think we're doing ourselves a disservice. We have a
Speaker 1: few AFC opponents that we're going against but again, we
Speaker 1: have to watch the health of our team. Yep, I
Speaker 1: don't disagree. I think I think you have to for
Speaker 1: him as a as a vet. You need to get
Speaker 1: him back as healthy as possible. So if he's not
Speaker 1: one hundle, keep him sitting down. Sure he's good, because
Speaker 1: I mean, we we're looking big picture here. You know,
Speaker 1: it's not like we have a like we have a
Speaker 1: bum behind him. Uh you know, Tarren Steele got his
Speaker 1: legs up underneath them. You know, that's something that we
Speaker 1: said he needed to do. M on the backbone of
Speaker 1: the Minnesota game. And he did that, right, He showed up.
Speaker 1: He took care of business. We're not sitting here talking
Speaker 1: about how how bad he played and how he was
Speaker 1: using the wrong hand and all that jazz. Right, So
Speaker 1: he took care of business. If we have a healthy,
Speaker 1: healthy Tyrone, obviously we want him. But if he's not,
Speaker 1: let's not let's not play with him because we know,
Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately and guys are some guys are more
Speaker 1: susceptible to injuries than others, and he has a history
Speaker 1: of that. So let's make sure he's as healthy as
Speaker 1: can be when he comes back. I'm sorry, did you
Speaker 1: think he dropped a hint on what they might do
Speaker 1: at right tackle or that or that, or that Tyrone
Speaker 1: would just be back this week, so go I'll have
Speaker 1: to go back and look at it. But the way
Speaker 1: that I interpreted it on the fan was before he
Speaker 1: started talking about that specific and they asked him that question,
Speaker 1: what would you do it right tackling? He his quote was,
Speaker 1: I don't know if we know. At the moment before that,
Speaker 1: he was talking about Terrence Steele and he mentioned that
Speaker 1: Terrence Steele had played better and he's having a great year.
Speaker 1: He I think he said a top notch year or
Speaker 1: something of the sword. I don't remember the exact quote there,
Speaker 1: but then he kind of rattled on a little bit
Speaker 1: and kind of draw the or I guess finished the
Speaker 1: rest of his answer by saying, Terren Steele has played
Speaker 1: well on us to give us a great option, a
Speaker 1: great reserve option at left tackle as well as right tackle.
Speaker 1: And I think that might have tipped his hand as
Speaker 1: maybe saying, okay, here, he's back to swing tackle. Which
Speaker 1: is something that I know Heckma you had talked about previously,
Speaker 1: is that if Collins takes over at right tackle, he
Speaker 1: doesn't give that job back, especially whenever Terrence Steele moves
Speaker 1: to the left. Once Terren Steele is done being at
Speaker 1: left tackle, Tyren Smith returns, then Terrence Steele is then
Speaker 1: the swing tackle. Am I under Am I being delusional
Speaker 1: when I say that it was apparent that Leo Collins
Speaker 1: is a better right tackle last week? Just the power
Speaker 1: that he has and the illusional Okay, because I see
Speaker 1: immediately a guy that comes out and his presence, how
Speaker 1: physical he is at the right tackle. So I mean,
Speaker 1: I understand. Look, Terrence Steele has done a wonderful job,
Speaker 1: you know, but I just I don't think he's going
Speaker 1: back to right tackle over Well, that's kind of Jerry
Speaker 1: kind of reference. I think what you're talking about, how
Speaker 1: physical let he called us, He called him the enforcer
Speaker 1: of the offensive line, and then he's kind of got
Speaker 1: a dark side in terms of just how nasty he
Speaker 1: can get in that group, and I think that is
Speaker 1: something he brings to the table. But then there's this
Speaker 1: whole continuity thing too. When Terrence Steel has been over
Speaker 1: there for five games, they've had a ton of success.
Speaker 1: And Mike McCarthy said at the start of the year,
Speaker 1: when you've got the same five starting the entire season,
Speaker 1: like analytically, you're gonna win a lot of football games now,
Speaker 1: Lyle Collins has been the mainstay there, so it's a
Speaker 1: different kind of situation. But I don't have a field
Speaker 1: right now for what they're gonna do either. Are we
Speaker 1: getting a false sense of hope for Taryn Steele, a
Speaker 1: left tackle though, because of the way he played against Atlanta?
Speaker 1: You mentioned it, there's a difference between the Denver pass
Speaker 1: rush and the Atlanta pass rush. Even Denver, we were
Speaker 1: looking at it on paper and saying, you know what,
Speaker 1: like this team didn't have Von Miller, they didn't have
Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb. That that didn't look like the pass rush
Speaker 1: that would have made noise. Oh, they made some noise
Speaker 1: Atlanta we went into its end. Yeah. No, there should
Speaker 1: not be any pressure in this ball game at all,
Speaker 1: and there wasn't. And that's a credit to yes, the
Speaker 1: offensive line. But I just don't want to get ahead
Speaker 1: of myself and Isaiah you can give your input on
Speaker 1: this as well. Just because they didn't give up anything
Speaker 1: against Atlanta doesn't mean they weren't moving forward. No. I
Speaker 1: mean any team that you play against, you know, in
Speaker 1: this league, you're susceptible to them finding a way to
Speaker 1: generate pressure. So I mean the comfort you know, the
Speaker 1: continuity obviously, Collins is when he's healthy, he's the he's
Speaker 1: the best tackle right tackle we have, hands down. That's
Speaker 1: not even a conversation piece. But the continuity's question is
Speaker 1: what we is something we were trying to figure out, right,
Speaker 1: how how long is it going to take him to
Speaker 1: get back integrated? How long is gonna take me to
Speaker 1: feed underneath them? You know, how are his hips all
Speaker 1: those kind of things right? So we see that he's
Speaker 1: he's good, so you keep him there, right, he's ready
Speaker 1: to take care of business. Um did the same issue,
Speaker 1: the same question marks that we have in terms of
Speaker 1: continuity and all that stuff. Our upcoming opponent is trying
Speaker 1: to figure out as well. And I know we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk not talking about them yet, but their officive line
Speaker 1: was totally shaking up this year and they ain't had
Speaker 1: pretty much five fresh ones up there. And that's what
Speaker 1: they're trying to figure out, that continuity piece. The guys
Speaker 1: that are better guys versus the guys that have been
Speaker 1: already playing, and do we switch these guys out? So
Speaker 1: this is a problem that that obviously we're not the
Speaker 1: only team that's trying to figure it out. But you know,
Speaker 1: as long as again I think Colin's healthy obviously playing,
Speaker 1: If Smith's not one hundred percent, the heck's point, keep
Speaker 1: him off. We're you surprised that Dante Fowler came off
Speaker 1: for I R before this game. He's the one guy
Speaker 1: that when he when I saw Dante Fowler run out
Speaker 1: of the I can't believe he would actually get healthy.
Speaker 1: Obviously got healthy for this game, and I was looking
Speaker 1: forward to that matchup. A tern still handle him. I mean,
Speaker 1: he didn't have any pressure maybe one pressure on Dak,
Speaker 1: but that's a good problem to have, no matter. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're talking about something that's really good, great, a great
Speaker 1: problem to have, and we're talking about depth and maybe
Speaker 1: down the line, if there's something anything that happens for
Speaker 1: me Thymas Smith, I just want to see him back healthy.
Speaker 1: We knew that they we come to a point in
Speaker 1: the season where he pops possibly would miss some games.
Speaker 1: Now that we have a bunch what we feel like
Speaker 1: we have a bona fide tween tackle. Zeke is doing
Speaker 1: so many good things in pass pro and also with
Speaker 1: our blocking tight ends McEwen being back. He did a
Speaker 1: heck of a job as well. So look if we
Speaker 1: can kind of band aid this for these next couple
Speaker 1: of weeks twelve games, I'm excuse me, three games in
Speaker 1: twelve days, like I think it benefits us. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: they've just they got to clean up the penalties inside
Speaker 1: and look at particularly it's Connor Williams at the left
Speaker 1: guard spot, and it's you know, everybody's spoken about it.
Speaker 1: Jerry spoke about it again this morning, like, not that
Speaker 1: he's getting necessarily bad calls against him, but there's something
Speaker 1: he's doing technique wise. It's leverage that is catching the
Speaker 1: official detention and I think he's leading the league in
Speaker 1: penalties now. Oh yeah, it's something that's it's got a change.
Speaker 1: You can look at all of them and say, yeah,
Speaker 1: not every one of them's you know, maybe a fair
Speaker 1: call or it's close, but if it's keep calling against you,
Speaker 1: you gotta do something and change about it. So, uh,
Speaker 1: that's that's the biggest thing right now, besides figuring out
Speaker 1: that right side. Assuming you get tiring back, you got
Speaker 1: you gotta shore that up. That's weight room and leverage
Speaker 1: for for for a Connor for for that Connor bro
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel as if he's undersized at that position.
Speaker 1: I don't want to see him in person. He looks
Speaker 1: like he's still a grown man obviously, but he definitely
Speaker 1: came into the league underside. He came into under size,
Speaker 1: and unfortunately, genetics plays a huge part when you know,
Speaker 1: it's not it's not just about technique at that position,
Speaker 1: he's going against the strongest Literally, he's going against the
Speaker 1: strongest guys on the field. When you're playing at the
Speaker 1: guard position, the biggest dudes, the biggest, strongest guys that
Speaker 1: the opponent has is coming against you. And leverage plays apart,
Speaker 1: weight plays apart, strength plays apart right, and unfortunately, I
Speaker 1: think he's probably taking an l in all three of
Speaker 1: those categories whenever he steps on the field with most opponents.
Speaker 1: Jarrett was another problem, Grady Jared, I mean, yeah, again,
Speaker 1: you know we've seen it with some other matchups earlier
Speaker 1: this season as well. Yeah, do you think Connor McGovern
Speaker 1: gets a little bit of playing time? I know Jerry
Speaker 1: was asked that question and he kind of shifted it
Speaker 1: aside and talked about player versatility, position flex and saying
Speaker 1: that most of the snaps that McGovern has had have
Speaker 1: come on the right side, but he did get some
Speaker 1: snaps at left guard whenever Connor Williams was taking snaps
Speaker 1: as the backup center. Connor McGovern was the left guard
Speaker 1: in those sets throughout training camp and I'm certain that
Speaker 1: probably has continued into the season as well. But do
Speaker 1: you think there's a chance McGovern maybe gets into rotation
Speaker 1: a little bit if the penalties continue. McGovern is obviously
Speaker 1: doing something from Monday to Sunday that's not getting him
Speaker 1: any reps on the offensive line, And going back to
Speaker 1: Connor Williams, I just feel as though, man, you know,
Speaker 1: with anything on any team, you're only strong as your
Speaker 1: weakest link. So if we're gonna say, of the starting
Speaker 1: guys that we have, Connor Williams is the weakest linked,
Speaker 1: then the team is obviously trying to figure out a
Speaker 1: way to not have him get the penalties that he's getting. Right,
Speaker 1: But it's either it's either whole Jared or allow him
Speaker 1: to get a sack. It's a it's you know, so
Speaker 1: I for one, Connor, go ahead and hold him so
Speaker 1: that we don't get that pressure. But it is and
Speaker 1: as the course of the game, went on every time
Speaker 1: that was a flag. You're just going it's holding yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, so, I mean, I just want him to
Speaker 1: get better, be better. It's like, you know, we're seven
Speaker 1: and two. We're seven and two, and I don't want
Speaker 1: to nick pick the hell out of Connor Williams, but
Speaker 1: you know, let's he's been the guy last year that
Speaker 1: stayed the healthiest. You know, Um, he's having to help
Speaker 1: be honest as well, and them two together, if we
Speaker 1: could just mend them into one, I guess that's the
Speaker 1: way I gotta look at it. Yeah, you gotta, you
Speaker 1: gotta look at it in the grand scheme of things too.
Speaker 1: Like you said, we're nitpicking right now. A lot of
Speaker 1: those penalties happened in the second half of a forty
Speaker 1: three to three win. Now, if those penalties happen and
Speaker 1: it's a three point ball game, it's a seven point
Speaker 1: ball game. Calling him the story referring to it, that's
Speaker 1: nitpicking me because those things you gotta you gotta shure up.
Speaker 1: And obviously it's not. It's not something that it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: we can we can fix that. Right now, that's like
Speaker 1: a glaring issue and it's been all season long. And
Speaker 1: hasn't just been the one game. It's a glaring issue.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's not like when I was playing
Speaker 1: and Flowzell led the league and false starts, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, it's not that's not something we're
Speaker 1: you just like, hey, Flow, just just sitting on the
Speaker 1: front leg a little bit more and just just wait
Speaker 1: for the ball to be snapped. This is like you're
Speaker 1: being out manned. And that's a that's a problem because
Speaker 1: when we start looking at the teams that we're going
Speaker 1: that we obviously have to face the remainder of the season.
Speaker 1: And then as we start looking at these playoff teams,
Speaker 1: as we start trying to make this playoff run, you
Speaker 1: start you look at the Rams who you're gonna play against.
Speaker 1: They got their butt kick last last night. But who's
Speaker 1: gonna line up over Connor Williams Aaron Donald? Right, you
Speaker 1: start looking at the type of guys that are gonna
Speaker 1: be lined up over him. If you're a defensive if
Speaker 1: you're looking at a defensive end, right, I know it's
Speaker 1: Michael Parkson's here, you, Michael Parsons. I'm picking the worst
Speaker 1: tackle that you have and I'm putting them on them.
Speaker 1: I'm putting the worst tackle. I'm Michael Parson goal against
Speaker 1: the worst tackle they have because you have the advantage.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the same thing as we face these
Speaker 1: teams that have really good interior D Lineman. I'm putting
Speaker 1: my best interior D linement. I don't care if youre
Speaker 1: playing on the right side. I'm putting you on the
Speaker 1: left side today because Connor Williams is right there, Mike Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Mike McCarthy. I mean he references competition there and
Speaker 1: not that they're going to make a change, Like I
Speaker 1: think his preference would be to stick, like I said,
Speaker 1: stick with the same five, get that, keep that going.
Speaker 1: But look that Yeah, McGovern is a guy that he
Speaker 1: has said has earned the right to play on Sunday,
Speaker 1: even if it's as the s or you know, the
Speaker 1: fullback or whatever. They're trying to kind of get him
Speaker 1: on the field, get his feet wet a little bit.
Speaker 1: You're right like that. I think they're more comfortable with
Speaker 1: him probably at right guard than left guard. Le Collins
Speaker 1: has taken reps at guard, Like I think it's something
Speaker 1: to watch with eight games left, but I think they
Speaker 1: they think he can get this corrected, but I think
Speaker 1: they they have spoken about the competition at that spot,
Speaker 1: so we'll see. And wasn't it last year Jedrick Wells
Speaker 1: from I believe the rookie for the Cleveland Browns was
Speaker 1: the most penalized last season. And that's a team that
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time running the ball. So, you know,
Speaker 1: I think, however you look at it, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't want to. I've been a person that has piled
Speaker 1: on Connor many a time. Right now, I just feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, he's having like you said, he's having the
Speaker 1: best of the best over the top of him, and
Speaker 1: they're trying to get match up and get pressure up
Speaker 1: the middle. If he's holding and he's getting beat u
Speaker 1: in a blowout win, that's where the nitpicking comes in.
Speaker 1: If we're getting the close competition. And obviously those like
Speaker 1: in the New England games where we were we didn't
Speaker 1: need that holding penalty, and I believe it was something
Speaker 1: else that he got as well. I mean, those are
Speaker 1: things like that's bone headed players. You can't make those
Speaker 1: because you obviously cost your team. No, not at all.
Speaker 1: You can't cost your team like that. And maybe there
Speaker 1: that that does open the door for a little bit
Speaker 1: of competition. I think Connor mcgoverns in another competition right now.
Speaker 1: Top slot receiver in the him Cooper Cup, Tyree Hill,
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb. He's definitely the biggest. And then Connor mccovering
Speaker 1: McGovern has got a score touchdown this sea one yard line.
Speaker 1: Come on, now, you and I need to make t shirts.
Speaker 1: We're gonna wear it every front. Yeah, because somebody got
Speaker 1: a bet going big man touchdown Fridge McGovern. What's the bet?
Speaker 1: What's Yeah? You've made it with the people across the pond.
Speaker 1: I don't I think they've misunderstood me. It's always understanding
Speaker 1: that they hit me up on Twitter the other day.
Speaker 1: They'll have to remind me, if you guys are listening,
Speaker 1: to remind me what the bet was? I forgot Okay,

Speaker 1: had the watermelon smashing last week. Last year, we brought
Speaker 1: out a sledgehammer and he smashed a watermelon. He had
Speaker 1: the Mojoe momojo throughout training camp, Mojoe moments, sticking with
Speaker 1: this team all the way. Time for a Mojoe moment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But this week he pulled out something completely different. What's that?
Speaker 1: He pulled out a little bit of monkey butt, but
Speaker 1: monkey but not just one can, but two cans, and
Speaker 1: then a smaller one as well. I mean, yeah, a
Speaker 1: little to go. It's a it's a travel pack, that's
Speaker 1: exactly what it is. He brought out the monkey butt
Speaker 1: and somehow Caden Gates found this, of course Caden, yeah,
Speaker 1: at a hardware store. He had in his cabinet he
Speaker 1: made that up. Basically, I explain it in a very
Speaker 1: radio friendly way. Yeah, radio friendly. Let me tell you
Speaker 1: from a man that's getting up every morning and putting
Speaker 1: in miles. You need this. A chafing is real, and
Speaker 1: you know you don't want to be a part of it.
Speaker 1: So help yourself with some monkey. But if there's not
Speaker 1: a sponsor happening, happening, it's gotta happen. It's happen. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, this stuff works. Does it? It works?
Speaker 1: It's never had to get to that point yet. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Where did you know this exists? When when you get
Speaker 1: to that point? Tu us? This is you? You want
Speaker 1: to have that in between? Kay? And I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: ahead and ask for this whenever you're done with it.
Speaker 1: That one the other one, Yeah, yeah, you're right. A
Speaker 1: hardware store that I didn't I thought it was just
Speaker 1: a different brand. Yeah, I thought it was just a
Speaker 1: different like flavor. Yeah. This one, yeah, give me this one.
Speaker 1: That's funny. All right, let's take your calls first. Let's
Speaker 1: go to Bob in Nashville. Bob, how's it going. You're
Speaker 1: on Talking Cowboys? Hey, good morning, fellas a great show.
Speaker 1: What Bob? Hey? Um, I got a I got a
Speaker 1: solution for the Connor Williams. How about put Connor McGovern
Speaker 1: in the backfield on passing situations and then he just
Speaker 1: steps up and lends a hand to Connor Williams. This
Speaker 1: way he does get beat, he then has somebody there
Speaker 1: to you know, another offensive linement to back him up. Um.
Speaker 1: Then my last point real quick is I'm still concerned
Speaker 1: about our linebacker corps. Are defensive line, we get up
Speaker 1: the field a lot, and we really need good mind backers.
Speaker 1: And we got one of them. Laydon is playing okay,
Speaker 1: and we got Michael, but I'm still concerned about the
Speaker 1: depth of our linebackers. Just want to bring those up.
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, than great call and two really good questions.
Speaker 1: We'll start with the offensive line question with Connor McGovern
Speaker 1: basically using him as an h back in that situation
Speaker 1: and then in a passing down using him to maybe
Speaker 1: step up into pass coverage and be that extra guy
Speaker 1: for Dak Prescott to have some protection. Now, the one
Speaker 1: thing I would say before I get your opinion on
Speaker 1: this is the fact that you are going to take
Speaker 1: a skills player off the field, and one of the
Speaker 1: strengths of your offense is having the wide assortment of
Speaker 1: skills players that you're out there to challenge defense. So
Speaker 1: that's a that's a given a take. You're going to
Speaker 1: have that. But is that a possibility to maybe use
Speaker 1: sixty six in an upback package since he's already been
Speaker 1: used as a fullback, maybe use him as an h
Speaker 1: back a little bit there. I like Bob's thinking, you know,
Speaker 1: he has his waterboy, you know, playbook out and I
Speaker 1: can imagine, you know, Connor lining up in the backfield
Speaker 1: and then they saying shift and then Connor just comes
Speaker 1: up and inserts right next to Tyler. To be honest,
Speaker 1: I can see, I see what you're putting them. I
Speaker 1: pick up what you're putting down. Um to that point,
Speaker 1: I like also like respect, but Kyle had to say,
Speaker 1: you don't want to take eleven personnel out of it,
Speaker 1: And I think when you bring that into when you
Speaker 1: bring Connor as a sixth officive linement onto the field,
Speaker 1: you you have to make some adjustments in terms of
Speaker 1: personnel that you're allowed to facilitate on the field. So
Speaker 1: I like the idea of him rotating in there occasionally.
Speaker 1: He's been getting his feet wet. I don't think that
Speaker 1: it's a coincidence that they've been utilizing him in on
Speaker 1: the game. In the games um at the running back position,
Speaker 1: at the slot position, they're getting him reps uh in
Speaker 1: the in the case in which he has to step
Speaker 1: in and take that, and he will be up on
Speaker 1: the speed of the game. So I don't don't think
Speaker 1: that this is just an illusion and just some fun
Speaker 1: stuff that that Kellen Moore is doing. Uh, it's I
Speaker 1: think it's in the back of their mind that they
Speaker 1: might swap those two out at some point in time
Speaker 1: and he won't be a step behind um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: what was the second part? It was about the linebackers.
Speaker 1: Let's yea, yeah, we'll get to that next offensive line here.
Speaker 1: What do you think hekma, Yeah, I mean this is
Speaker 1: a game of studying tendencies and obviously if he comes
Speaker 1: in on that that I was just like, ah, here
Speaker 1: we go. I mean that's my answer in addition to
Speaker 1: what you said about the skill position spot. But yeah,
Speaker 1: you know right now, Yeah, well, last game we had
Speaker 1: eight penalties for eighty yards. That's a lot. And we've
Speaker 1: been going through the couple a couple of weeks where
Speaker 1: we've been accumulating these penalties. We want to we obviously
Speaker 1: want to scale that back um. And for Connor, he
Speaker 1: knows that he needs he has to be bad. He
Speaker 1: has to be getting evaluated on this each and every day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just think you can't. I wanted to see how
Speaker 1: many times he's lined up either as an eligible receiver
Speaker 1: or as a you know, in the backfield. It's only
Speaker 1: been I think it was the most, probably this game
Speaker 1: that he's checked in and made himself eligible, maybe five
Speaker 1: six snaps a game. Like they're not gonna do it.
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott throws at least thirty times a game, Like
Speaker 1: he's not going to be at back there that often.
Speaker 1: But it's a nice it's a nice wrinkle, and it's
Speaker 1: a it's a good thought, and I agree with Isaiah.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there they see that he's earned
Speaker 1: the right to be on the field. And if it's
Speaker 1: not this year, Connor Williams is a free agent next year,
Speaker 1: and Connor McGovern could very well be your left guard
Speaker 1: next year, depending on what happens. We'll see, but right
Speaker 1: now they're trying to, you know, get him on the field.
Speaker 1: A little bit a little foreshadowing there could happen, could happen.
Speaker 1: What do you think about the linebacker corps. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I think you'll spot on with what he said
Speaker 1: about Layton m after, you know, evaluating the game again.
Speaker 1: You know, Michael did a really good job as well.
Speaker 1: Backside of the backfield. Um Ken O'Neill still waiting to
Speaker 1: see his impact really hadn't. The production is going down
Speaker 1: a little bit for him. But I think our linebacker
Speaker 1: group is fine. You know, it's it's one of it
Speaker 1: was one of those games where we had beat our
Speaker 1: opponent into submission and they were paying from behind. They
Speaker 1: had to do a lot to just try and make
Speaker 1: this game respectable what State didn't. So you know, I've
Speaker 1: just I don't want to worry so much about what's
Speaker 1: going on at the line backup position. I think they
Speaker 1: played you know, Okay, I like our linebackers. I'm not comfortable.
Speaker 1: I think that's that's that's what Bob's referring to. I'm
Speaker 1: not comfortable with our depth. I'm not if we have one,
Speaker 1: If we have one injury to that to our linebacker corp,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be, you know, in a little bit of
Speaker 1: world of a little bit trouble rotating in Francis Bernard
Speaker 1: and Luke Gifford, and I mean Cox, who was your
Speaker 1: depth ultimately, And I don't think we don't think any
Speaker 1: of us really know how effective either of those guys
Speaker 1: would be. Maybe those guys maybe they know more than us.
Speaker 1: I hope they know more than us. Obviously with the personnel,
Speaker 1: maybe those you know, Gifford and Bernard can come out
Speaker 1: and they can ball. But in terms of what we
Speaker 1: know against number one units, we've never seen those guys
Speaker 1: versus one units before. So um, I would like to
Speaker 1: see another veteran guy. Um, they're just for depth purposes,
Speaker 1: just because injuries happened. Injuries happening, you can't prevent him,
Speaker 1: and that's a high contact position. Yeah, I mean Jalen Smith.
Speaker 1: Say what you want about him, but he was a
Speaker 1: guy that has made a Pro Bowl and he's basically
Speaker 1: a backup linebacker for you in the past, and you
Speaker 1: can you can dissect the way he played and was
Speaker 1: he effective in all that? But they don't have much
Speaker 1: experience there, so I think it has changed. Like when
Speaker 1: this training camp started, I think this might have been
Speaker 1: their deepest position, yeah, other than wide receiver, and it's
Speaker 1: not anymore. So, Um yeah, yeah, you just hope you
Speaker 1: don't have an injury. They don't seem concerned about it
Speaker 1: because they haven't gone out or signed somebody. They just
Speaker 1: brought up Francis Bernard off Ir. But I think it
Speaker 1: is something. It's a high impact position. You get one
Speaker 1: injury there, that would be a problem, I think too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that Jabril Cox injury, Yeah, kid wasn't It wasn't a
Speaker 1: big time key player, but it was key for your
Speaker 1: death on the heels of the Jayleen Smith release. It
Speaker 1: was yeah killed. That was two and I was one
Speaker 1: two punch right there. And even still they're not going
Speaker 1: to the Luke Gifford. I think Luke Gifford may have
Speaker 1: had two snaps are so in the game before. So
Speaker 1: even with that depth, they're not going into their bag
Speaker 1: with those guys. But obviously, if Layton goes down, if
Speaker 1: Keyan O'Neill goes down, um, Mica, of those guys, you
Speaker 1: know you're you're now back to square one. We're trying
Speaker 1: to get a playmaker in there. But I think the
Speaker 1: most we saw Luke Gifford was in the goal line
Speaker 1: situation against him. That's where we saw Jabril Cox exactly,
Speaker 1: and that's exactly and Jabril Cox made the play against
Speaker 1: New York whereas whereas Luke Gifford did not make a
Speaker 1: play against him. For so I guess that that does
Speaker 1: say it. But outside of that, you're right, he hasn't
Speaker 1: really been on the field a whole lot, but if
Speaker 1: something were to happen, definitely would be there. Um. Okay,
Speaker 1: Scott in why Oming, you were on Talking Cowboys? What up,
Speaker 1: Scott Scotty, Hey guys, Hey, good morning it Hey. Um,
Speaker 1: thinking back to the early eighties, I think it was
Speaker 1: Washington that normalized and behave back position. And also during
Speaker 1: the eighties, I watched Lawrence Taylor terrorized us quite a bit,
Speaker 1: and but the Giants used him, you know, they used
Speaker 1: him all over the field. And if there's anybody that
Speaker 1: could create a high back or a position, it's got
Speaker 1: to be dan Quinn. Lauren Micah reminds me of LT
Speaker 1: a lot, and uh, you know, I just I really
Speaker 1: I'm kind of optimistic that they you never know, you know,
Speaker 1: what he might be able to come up with. So
Speaker 1: maybe we just need to be patient about that. But um,
Speaker 1: you know, I've been watching ever since I watched the
Speaker 1: tape of Mica and first out of Penn State. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm saying LT to myself, and so what do you
Speaker 1: think that's how praise. It's very high praise. Appreciate the call, Scott.
Speaker 1: And the one thing I have to say about is
Speaker 1: he didn't directly compare him to LT. He said he
Speaker 1: reminds him of LT. So that's always going to be
Speaker 1: high praise anytime. That name is what pops in your
Speaker 1: head when you're watching a guy play, You're like, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, that guy's a dog. That's exactly what we're
Speaker 1: seeing with Michael Parsons. Instant dog. That's Hall of Fame fame.
Speaker 1: I want to go back to what he was saying
Speaker 1: about the Washington football team, the way they incorporated the
Speaker 1: h back in the eighties. I think that like if
Speaker 1: you back in the eighties, they had these guys called
Speaker 1: the Hawks, and they would run a counter tray with
Speaker 1: those guys and they would kind of left right and
Speaker 1: it was hard to stop John Riggins on those counter trays.
Speaker 1: And so you don't see that we do it a
Speaker 1: little bit as well when we are pulling our guards,
Speaker 1: that we don't bring the tight end out outside as well.
Speaker 1: But That's just one of the things that it's like
Speaker 1: there's nothing new under the sun in the NFL. And
Speaker 1: as much as things you think are new, they have
Speaker 1: been used before. You know, it's just recycling themselves over
Speaker 1: and over again. But that's a great observation on his side.
Speaker 1: Wealty's a little before my time, Like what how was
Speaker 1: he used? That's different than the way they're using Micah
Speaker 1: here in terms of I, you know, thinking back then,
Speaker 1: I always remember Lawrence Taylor on the right side, you know, rushing,
Speaker 1: so I don't I didn't see him all over the place.
Speaker 1: And again he may be talking about a different time
Speaker 1: period than I remember, but he was just a terrorized
Speaker 1: your offenses man. He was a guy that you couldn't stop.
Speaker 1: You could put a tight end out there if you
Speaker 1: want to leave your tackle on an island with him.
Speaker 1: It was only amount of time before he got his
Speaker 1: sacks and so everything was going away from LT. He
Speaker 1: wasn't one of those ends where you said, you know,
Speaker 1: oh he only does the pass. He can only come
Speaker 1: out the quarterback. He didn't play the run well, Na,
Speaker 1: that's a lot. He played everything well. He was never
Speaker 1: off the ball. I mean, he was as rush Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's okay. I mean, I don't know if that's what
Speaker 1: he's getting at. He tried to just make Michael into
Speaker 1: that role. I want to say they did stand him
Speaker 1: up quite a bit though every once in a while, Lawrence.
Speaker 1: I want to say they stood him up. Now, not
Speaker 1: to the extent of Michael Parsons and putting him at
Speaker 1: the same all Banks, Pepper Johnson, those guys were your linebackers.
Speaker 1: He was he was your edge, yeah, guy Belichick, right, yes,
Speaker 1: for a little bit. So, um, what do you think
Speaker 1: about the h back scenario there? If like using a
Speaker 1: couple different guys it kind of being versatile and using
Speaker 1: guys in different situations like Scott was asking there, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure, honestly not sure. He just kind of mentioned
Speaker 1: it about the Washington football team and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: But I think we're already doing that already. We're already
Speaker 1: using our tight ends as as h backs. These guys
Speaker 1: go in motion on one side of you see him
Speaker 1: come back and block the edge on the other side.
Speaker 1: So I mean it's just come down and crack back
Speaker 1: block exactly. So I think I think Kella Moore uses
Speaker 1: that to his advantage every game and don't line up
Speaker 1: with a traditional fullback, but he finds a way to
Speaker 1: get a lead blocker. All right, let's take one more
Speaker 1: call before we take our next break. Mike from Newton,
Speaker 1: Iowa is on the line. Mike, welcome to Talking Cowboys. Oh.
Speaker 1: I don't hear anything, Mike. I don't even hear the
Speaker 1: becoming Newton. I don't hear the I don't hear the
Speaker 1: buzz that we normally would have. Mike. All right, Chris,
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and go to a break. Then, since
Speaker 1: we don't have anything, Mike, Mike calls back, call us
Speaker 1: back if he's if he's on the line still or
Speaker 1: not on the one? Oh, now I hear the buzz, Mike.
Speaker 1: Are you there? Hey? Mike, Yeah, Hey, pretty good. My question,
Speaker 1: I'll make a quip because you guys going to go
Speaker 1: on to break. My question is that Isaac stand back
Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson. I mean, if you guys recall last year
Speaker 1: he popped uh Cook, the Minnesota running back, and Mike
Speaker 1: question is on that are we going to see him
Speaker 1: pop somebody like if he comes into Kansas City game,
Speaker 1: because lately I haven't seen him pop anybody. I mean,
Speaker 1: I see him make tackles. He's not popping anybody is
Speaker 1: on the statue Pop Pops an official stat from Mike
Speaker 1: in Iowa. Thanks for the calls, Mike, welcome. Yeah, Hey,
Speaker 1: that's what Donovan Wilson did last year. He's known as
Speaker 1: a heavy hitter, and I can only remember one time
Speaker 1: this year where he really clacked the pads and we
Speaker 1: thought it was going to be a penalty. So he's
Speaker 1: not in there and nearly as much either. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: got hurt when he came back. Malie Cooker was playing more.
Speaker 1: Now he's not in there nearly as much. I think
Speaker 1: he's trying, I know when we're watching a game, you
Speaker 1: know in the studio, where he's flying around and he's
Speaker 1: trying to get in there, but there's other guys that
Speaker 1: are there already, so he's kind of just a cleanup man.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of a testament to our front seven
Speaker 1: and their ability to kind of, you know, get things
Speaker 1: under wraps before he shows up. Last year, he was
Speaker 1: coming down having to make the tackles. This year, he's
Speaker 1: not having to do that as much when he's in
Speaker 1: the game, or I think our guys up front are
Speaker 1: really handling it. So that's that's really good. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just jogged my memory about Jayron Curse because I think
Speaker 1: that's part of the thing is they've they've got more
Speaker 1: safety depth than they by far than they had last year,
Speaker 1: and that's affecting his snaps. But I think also maybe
Speaker 1: Curse going back to the linebackers like that helps a
Speaker 1: little bit too, because he's he's a safety, but he's
Speaker 1: around the box a lot plays every snap. They probably
Speaker 1: look at him almost like as part as sort of
Speaker 1: that linebacker corps. And even though he is a safety,
Speaker 1: just in terms of that big nickel and the versatility
Speaker 1: that he provides, even though you know in a bass situation,
Speaker 1: he's not a guy that you know it is gonna
Speaker 1: line up and and and stack up against the run
Speaker 1: like a normal linebacker. Wood all the time, I saw
Speaker 1: Donald Donald do some really good things in the Atlanta game.
Speaker 1: I mean, he came up as I can't remember which
Speaker 1: court it was, but came up to the line of
Speaker 1: scrimmage and flew and knocked that hell out. He did
Speaker 1: pop somebody, yeah, I mean, and in the running game
Speaker 1: he was standing guys up. I mean, and that's old school.
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't find it since Rod Woodson. Guys
Speaker 1: like where your defensive backs were coming in and knocking
Speaker 1: the hell out of offensive lineman and Donald did that.
Speaker 1: I mean, just the physical attack style of dan Quinn's defense.
Speaker 1: I think all of these guys have bought into and
Speaker 1: it's really good to see Donovan Wilson get into the
Speaker 1: fold now, um, after obviously not really seeing him in
Speaker 1: training camp. You know, I want to see it, of course. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's my guy, gig him Ax, Yes, there you go. Uh.
Speaker 1: We were just talking about linebacker depth, but I have
Speaker 1: no issues with the safety depth right now, even even
Speaker 1: though I know not a lot of it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: where that would but yeah, I feel I feel pretty
Speaker 1: good about it. But like we said, you could change
Speaker 1: in a heartbeat, just like it did at the linebacker spot. Okay, Orlando,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to you after the break. When we
Speaker 1: come back. We'll go out to you in New Mexico

Speaker 1: see him go, but definitely happy for him. Moving forward.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Orlando in New Mexico. Orlando,
Speaker 1: you're on talking cowboys from the Land of Enchantment. How's
Speaker 1: it going? Pretty good? Pretty good? I hear you guys
Speaker 1: every morning. Um, I mightually here at work right now. Well,
Speaker 1: we appreciate it. Call you guys. Yeah, And I'm a
Speaker 1: big fan you guys lifetime with cowboy fans. Let's go Cowboys,
Speaker 1: Let's go boys. Let's get it done now. My two
Speaker 1: questions were, is, um, I know that our offense needs
Speaker 1: to get on a role against Patrick Mahomes and the
Speaker 1: and them, the Chiefs defense. My question was, um, how
Speaker 1: fast do we have to, um get on pace? You know,
Speaker 1: do we have to score like we did this last
Speaker 1: game to prove a point? You know what I mean
Speaker 1: to so it's not starting off slow like we usually do,
Speaker 1: because this is going to be a top opponent, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Um um. And my second part was, um,
Speaker 1: how are we gonna do without Tank and without Randy
Speaker 1: Gregory again, you know what I mean. I know we
Speaker 1: have Michael Parson. You know they move him around from
Speaker 1: outside to inside to the middle. You know, basically he's
Speaker 1: like a monster all over the field, you know. Um.
Speaker 1: My question was, how are we gonna do against that
Speaker 1: Chief's offense with our defense. You know, I'm that's my question.
Speaker 1: You know how we're gonna basically our offense, so they
Speaker 1: need to start off fast. You know, Orlando, what what
Speaker 1: part of New Mexico are you in? Damning, New Mexico?
Speaker 1: Southern Southern New Mexico border. Okay, gotcha? Got you? I
Speaker 1: was gonna say and thank you for the call. By
Speaker 1: the way, Orlando, appreciate you given a call, great questions.
Speaker 1: The way I was going to reference this was if
Speaker 1: he was in northern New Mexico. There are lots of
Speaker 1: mountains and ski valleys, the Taoski Valley, red River. This
Speaker 1: is gonna be like going straight down a slow This
Speaker 1: game is going to be high pace, no stopping. You
Speaker 1: better find a way to get it done because if not,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be tumbling all the way down. Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 1: So remember good ski season out there? H I wish,
Speaker 1: I wish. I would you think I have time to
Speaker 1: go out there? Didn't you do a shoot mountain? Oh?
Speaker 1: I did you that? It's like the ultimate flex. He's
Speaker 1: got the mouth head of the bat. What the hell?
Speaker 1: But But that's the thing is is this is going
Speaker 1: to be so fast paced they're gonna be twists, they're
Speaker 1: gonna be turns, but you have to get a good start.
Speaker 1: If you're not foundation, you don't have a foundation based
Speaker 1: in this game, I feel like you're going to be
Speaker 1: in trouble. Do you guys have anything to add on that? No,
Speaker 1: I mean, I absolutely agree, And I alluded to the
Speaker 1: amount of games that we have in twelve twelve days,
Speaker 1: and I feel like this Kansas City game, we need
Speaker 1: to dispose of them as quickly as possible because we
Speaker 1: have another game coming up on Thursday. Obviously, if it
Speaker 1: doesn't play out like that, that's fine. I mean, but
Speaker 1: you don't want to be in the dog fight, overtime,
Speaker 1: all of that as well. So I just you know,
Speaker 1: I agree with him offensively. We would like to start fast,
Speaker 1: only because we're up against an opponent that can strike
Speaker 1: fast as well. So you know, we find ourselves and
Speaker 1: attract meet by the third quarter, that would not be advantageous,
Speaker 1: not at all. Yeah, this isn't a team that you
Speaker 1: want to have attract meet with. I know we're not
Speaker 1: talking about them until TI, but these guys usually whenever
Speaker 1: there's two teams that are high powered offenses, like usually
Speaker 1: it's like a defensive game, isn't that usually goals each
Speaker 1: other out. Yeah, they cancel each other out. It's like
Speaker 1: both teams usually suck on offense, but hopefully they just
Speaker 1: suck on offense. But to your point, we do need
Speaker 1: to get going fast against these guys. And the reason being,
Speaker 1: you don't want you don't want to play the Chiefs
Speaker 1: when they have all their available options. You want to
Speaker 1: negate them to just simply throwing the ball. And luckily
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes has not been throwing the ball well on
Speaker 1: the move this year. His decision making hasn't been great.
Speaker 1: So if we can get him in a situation where
Speaker 1: they have to throw the ball and we know that
Speaker 1: we can just send you know, Parsons or whoever else
Speaker 1: you know, to ask some pressure, I think that he'll
Speaker 1: he'll give us some opportunities for our defense. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean the best situations for the defense this year has
Speaker 1: been when the Cowboys have had a league. I mean
Speaker 1: not that they can't play in a tight game or
Speaker 1: play from behind, but you know, if they fall down
Speaker 1: fourteen nothing on the road, that's gonna be a problem. Offensively,
Speaker 1: you're not doing everything you want to do in defensive
Speaker 1: we pack can dictate to you what he wants to
Speaker 1: get accomplished, and they could be more balanced because they haven't.
Speaker 1: Their running game hasn't been as much of a featured
Speaker 1: part of their offense, and maybe he doesn't need to be,
Speaker 1: but you don't want that to happen on the road.
Speaker 1: That that environments is as tough as it gets. Man,
Speaker 1: this game just has me so excited. I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna live up to the hype. I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. And he asked the second
Speaker 1: part of that question. We're running out of time here,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna have to get off before we answer it.
Speaker 1: But the good news is so we're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: it all show tomorrow. How is the Cowboys defense going
Speaker 1: to slow down the Kansas City offense? That was his question.
Speaker 1: We've got an entire show on it tomorrow, forty five minutes,
Speaker 1: only forty five five minutes. It'll be fun. We're gonna
Speaker 1: have to figure out the way to come up here.
Speaker 1: They're not enough, but we're gonna have a lot of
Speaker 1: fun with that. Glad you've been with us. You're over
Speaker 1: the last forty five minutes of this one for Chris Beam,
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, Isaiah Stanback, heck Ma Harrison. I'm Kyle Yeoman
Speaker 1: saying so long, We'll see you tomorrow on Talking Cowboys.
