Speaker 3: We're gonna say orange? Who you know, halloweens.

58
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it works, all right, let's jump in. Let's talk

59
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 2: about injuries walking Browns, Broncos, Yeah, Bears, Trayvon Diggs.

60
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 5: Uh, he ends up on the injury report yesterday. What

61
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 5: are we hearing about that? Because obviously that's a position that,

62
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 5: as we mentioned yesterday, Cowboys seemed to be especially hit

63
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 5: hard there.

64
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, he said he's feeling good. It's a calf injury

65
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 6: that he he suffered in the game against the forty

66
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 6: nine ers. He said he has a little just a

67
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 6: little bit of tightness here early in the week, but

68
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 6: he's not worried about his availability going deeper into the week.

69
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 6: But we'll see today.

70
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 5: Good Doron Bland did not practice. But one note at

71
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 5: the cornerback position, Kayln Carson was a full participant.

72
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: We're here and there.

73
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was a full participant last week.

74
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: Too.

75
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: Wasn't he stop you gotta kill everything? Yeah, I'm just

76
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: trying to.

77
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: Be real running back, a good running back on because.

78
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 6: I don't want to get it.

79
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: I got excited.

80
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 6: I don't want to I don't want to get the

81
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 6: tweets on Sunday, being like he's a full participant all week,

82
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 6: why is he enacted today as well. I'm just letting

83
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 6: you guys know.

84
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: Right now, trying to get a running back on fair.

85
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 6: I think, uh, I think with Kaylen moving into the week,

86
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 6: I think there's a good chance he played, especially with

87
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 6: a Monti or Warrior lightning on ir but Doron Blande

88
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 6: officially activated to the active roster yesterday, that does not

89
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 6: necessarily mean he will play Sunday. He needs to practice

90
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 6: this week, so Mike McCarthy did say he hopes to

91
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 6: get him on the field today in a limited capacity.

92
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 6: We'll have a little bit more for McCarthy later, as

93
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 6: I think his press conference starts in about four minutes.

94
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 5: If you guys had to handicap it based on what

95
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 5: things you've heard and seen, what do you think is

96
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 5: his chances of playing this week?

97
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 3: He started yesterday with the working group. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

98
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 7: The thing was when you ask him about injuries. You know,

99
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 7: you start to ask questions about injuries, which one.

100
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: They got a lot of?

101
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: I mean, he can't even which one.

102
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 7: A you're talking about. But it's going to be today.

103
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 7: We'll see if Bland does in fact practice and we'll

104
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 7: see if in fact, though that Michael Parsons practices and

105
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 7: it I would say if neither one of those guys

106
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 7: practiced today, I would say it's pretty good shot that's

107
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 7: not going to play this week.

108
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think there's a little bit more optimism on Bland,

109
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 6: but still.

110
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 3: A bit more but not. Yeah, it's kind of it's

111
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 3: it's it's really touch and go with there right now.

112
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 5: So yeah, man, it's tough because I think at the

113
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 5: cornerback position you got so many guys out, so it's

114
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 5: a volume thing. With the pass rush, it really is

115
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 5: just Mike that you need Micaeh back. You need to

116
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 5: be able to get some pass rush, and obviously they

117
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 5: missed Tank, don't get me wrong, but it's like, if

118
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 5: you feel like if you can get Micah back, at

119
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 5: least you could just at least have one guy that

120
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 5: is a real true pass rusher and then you can

121
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 5: kind of work with that a little bit.

122
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 2: You guys get that sense as well.

123
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so, especially in a game like this

124
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 6: where they need pass rush. Yeah, getting Michael back would

125
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 6: be huge. That's just in general across the season. I mean,

126
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 6: look at these last three games that they haven't had him.

127
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 6: They need him back for sure.

128
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 7: It kind of gives you a little bit of idea

129
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 7: for all the talk about trading him, what your team

130
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 7: would look like without him in fact, you know, kind

131
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 7: of give you a little bit of an idea there.

132
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 3: But I you know, I just this.

133
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 7: I know we talked about a little bit yesterday, but

134
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 7: I would seriously consider playing Overshown as an edge player.

135
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,799
Speaker 7: I would you get a quarterback to play stationary football

136
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 7: stands in the middle of the pocket. You know, if

137
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,559
Speaker 7: you beat one of these tackles, just Overshown has the link,

138
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 7: has the ability kind of knows where the quarterback is

139
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 7: going to be. I would consider maybe playing I'm not saying,

140
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 7: you know, every down, but kind of a poor man's

141
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 7: Micah Parson player. Just just use him in certain situations,

142
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 7: put him on the edge and let him rush, you know,

143
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 7: let him create some problems that link that quickness, the

144
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 7: ability to finish in the pocket that what we saw

145
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 7: the other day. You know, there's some things that you

146
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 7: can do defensively in this game. Will they work Probably

147
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 7: better than what you've been doing. Probably just you know,

148
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 7: gives yourself a chance that maybe you do get this

149
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 7: guy home once or twice. I mean, we're gonna get

150
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 7: into Atlanta. They got nobody that gets home on their

151
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 7: on their defense, and that affects how they play defense.

152
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: So, you know, Dallas, if they can, if they could

153
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: find a.

154
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 7: Way to create some pressure, you know, maybe maybe it

155
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 7: is a guy like overshown as that kind of that

156
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 7: edge rusher at certain down and distances.

157
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 6: How many more weeks do you guys feel.

158
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 8: There are the crucial weeks for like how do I

159
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 8: put it, like kind of to determine see how the

160
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 8: season is going to end for the Cowboys, because I

161
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 8: know a lot of people are a lot of fans

162
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 8: are saying.

163
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 3: Like, okay, this is it, like you're ready for the

164
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: draft show that kind of thing.

165
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, But realistically, obviously there's half of the season on

166
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 8: their way, Like you still have half of the season.

167
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 3: It's a difficult stretch.

168
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 7: You got to get this thing to the to my opinion,

169
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 7: this is the rough part of it right now for me,

170
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 7: when you're dealing with we all felt like the Commanders

171
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 7: were going to be better.

172
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 3: But they're six and two better right now. And you

173
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: you got Houston who's playing much better.

174
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 9: Uh.

175
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 7: You know, Philadelphia looks like they found something last week offensively.

176
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 7: Uh you know, they're getting their running game going. You know,

177
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 7: these are these are all you could look up and

178
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 7: be on a bad one. We've lost four or five

179
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 7: games in a row with the opponents that you've had.

180
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 7: You lose today or you lose this weekend. It's I

181
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 7: think it's only gonna get tougher.

182
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 6: You pretty much know where you're at by Thanksgivings.

183
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,239
Speaker 5: Often, and in my opinion, I think to that point,

184
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 5: I think after that Thanksgiving Day is gone, it's done.

185
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 5: If they're not at five hundred, I think it's it's

186
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 5: hard to imagine there's a scenario under which they could

187
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 5: get back in.

188
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: Because here's the thing.

189
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 5: As tough as this next stretch is, the latter part

190
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 5: of the season, December feels like there are some teams

191
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 5: that are beatable there right they're good teams, but beatable Cincinnati.

192
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: Cincinnati team that's good but they've.

193
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 5: Been they've had theirs having their struggles. Yeah, I think

194
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 5: you got more of a chance to run off a

195
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 5: string of games in December than maybe you do over

196
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,599
Speaker 5: these next five. But I do think you got to

197
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 5: basically hold tight and then hope that you get your

198
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 5: at five hundred by the time you finish Thanksgiving, and

199
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 5: hopefully you got Micah back, hopefully you don't sustain any

200
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 5: other major injuries.

201
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: Maybe you start talking about Tank and when he can

202
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: be back.

203
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I think if you get to that

204
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 5: point and you're even that's when maybe you can make it.

205
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 5: And you also need some of those things like you're

206
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 5: gonna play Washington, You're gonna play obviously in New York again,

207
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 5: You're gonna play Philly twice.

208
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think those are the games if you can.

209
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 5: If you can make those some of the games you

210
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 5: win and you're at five hundred by Thanksgiving, I think

211
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 5: you got a shot to get yourself back into the

212
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 5: mix for a playoff spot, maybe not to win the division,

213
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 5: but to get yourself back into a playoff spot.

214
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 8: So from now in Thanksgiving, how many losses could you

215
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 8: technically afford?

216
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 5: I'm saying you go three and two over these next

217
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 5: five games, that's what you need. In my opinion, that'll

218
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 5: get you to six and six. Am I doing my math?

219
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 3: Right?

220
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 9: Yeah?

221
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 6: That's that's correct. Yeah yeah, with five games to go. Yeah, yeah,

222
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 6: it's doable.

223
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 2: I mean, but to me, you don't have any room

224
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: for air.

225
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 5: If that happens you're at six and six, that means

226
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 5: you got a real all five wins, like you gotta

227
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 5: go through December and you gotta be winning every week,

228
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 5: and that gives you a chance to maybe get into

229
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 5: the playoffs.

230
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 6: I think.

231
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 7: And I don't want to talk about another sport, but

232
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 7: I do cover, you know, with one O five to

233
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 7: three the fan we cover the Range Texas Rangers baseball,

234
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 7: and they suffered a lot of injuries, and every week

235
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 7: it was We've talked to the general manager, Chris Young.

236
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 7: He's like, well, we're getting guys back. We're gonna get

237
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 7: guys back. We're gonna get and then.

238
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 3: It was too late.

239
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 7: It was already by the time you'd gotten everybody back,

240
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 7: it was too late. You were already out. And that's

241
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 7: your hope, that man, we're gonna get these guys back.

242
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 7: We're gonna get these guys back. That's kind of your

243
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 7: rallying cry. But and then but yeah, you gotta tread

244
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 7: water to get there. And then if you but if

245
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 7: you don't, you lose, you know, say you lose three

246
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 7: or four straight games, then getting those guys back is

247
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:28,119
Speaker 7: not gonna.

248
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 3: Matter, just not.

249
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 6: I think. I think the two guys you could look

250
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,599
Speaker 6: at that might not quote unquote be back by the

251
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 6: time things are kind of decided. One of them tanking

252
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 6: Marshawn Neeland.

253
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what what is the timeline on tank? Because

254
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: I thought it was like early December? Is it later

255
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: than that?

256
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 6: And you're I'm thinking right around Thanksgiving? Maybe after Thanksgiving?

257
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 6: So yeah, probably right, So he would that last stretch maybe, yeah,

258
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 6: it would be. But let's say that they get to

259
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 6: that stretch and they're five and eight forever.

260
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, But that's my point, like right now, you

261
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: have to tread water.

262
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 5: You have to maintain the status quot as far as

263
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 5: you can win, you can lose, but you gotta kind

264
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 5: of stay right there around five hundred to give yourself

265
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 5: even a shot to reel off some in December when

266
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 5: you're at hopefully full strength.

267
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 6: You can't fall two games below five hundred at any

268
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 6: point I don't think that's why this game is crucial.

269
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 6: A game against Houston would be crucial. I mean, there's

270
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 6: you can't fall two games behind because then you're asking

271
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 6: your offense or you're asking a defense that doesn't have

272
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 6: a lot of guys healthy to go win three straight

273
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 6: in December. That's that's tough thing to do.

274
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 5: I mean, you look at some of these teams you're

275
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 5: gonna face. Houston now is without its top two wide

276
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 5: receivers after losing Digs.

277
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 2: So you got some teams that are having some issues

278
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: like you do. So you just got to take advantage

279
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: of it.

280
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: It's so funny, absolutely, but that's what you exactly to say.

281
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: But you got to. You gotta take advantage of.

282
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 7: Every every time you look at a team you're about

283
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 7: to play, it's like, man, they're really bad doing this,

284
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 7: and then you look at it as a matchup for

285
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 7: you maybe and then you're like, oh, damn, we're worse,

286
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 7: you know. I mean that's the problem is there's some

287
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 7: things that the Orlando Falcons do defensively that that that

288
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 7: most teams that would play them, that are hummel along

289
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 7: on offense would punish them. Yeah, you know with your situation.

290
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 7: You don't know if you can punish them for the

291
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 7: things that they do poorly. San Francisco is the same

292
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 7: thing last week too. You did get in the red

293
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 7: zone and have some success last week, but you didn't

294
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 7: do anything else enough to take advantage of that.

295
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna real quick.

296
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 5: I also want to mention two other vets that popped

297
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 5: up on the injury report yesterday. Lynnville Joseph with a

298
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 5: back injury injury did not practice. Zach Martin with a

299
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 5: shoulder injury did not practice. Are we hearing anything about that? Well,

300
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 5: there's more about the fact that you're just giving them

301
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 5: a little rest or they significant injuries.

302
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 7: I've just kind of always with Zack Martin always feel

303
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 7: like that it's the rest day stuff. You know, they're

304
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 7: just they're finding ways to you know, but that's not

305
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 7: good offensive lineman with shoulder problems. It's never you know,

306
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 7: lack of power. And we've seen some snaps, some reps

307
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 7: where Zach is you know, he hasn't had the best

308
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 7: of power that you know, we've seen.

309
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 3: From him in the past.

310
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 6: Felt very similar with Lindvall Joseph yesterday too. He was

311
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 6: going through stretching and everything. During the media portion of practice,

312
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 6: he just didn't have his helmet on, So I think

313
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 6: it was more so arrests situation.

314
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 2: And that does but it does concern me.

315
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 5: As Brian was saying, offensive line with shoulder, yeah, defensive

316
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 5: tackle with back. That certainly doesn't make me feel good

317
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 5: because on any given play, you can have six hundred

318
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 5: pounds leaning on you. So I certainly won't feel good

319
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 5: for his back. But we'll see how that progresses throughout

320
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 5: the week. Let's take our first break, we'll come back.

321
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 5: Let's jump into this Atlanta defense and talk about some

322
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 5: of the areas where maybe the Cowboys can take advantage.

323
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 5: We'll be back Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

324
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 10: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

325
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 10: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

326
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 10: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

327
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 10: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

328
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,520

330
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 10: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

386
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 5: an ode to Shannon. This segment brought to you by

00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 5: blockchain dot com. Ding. All right, we're all off the

388
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 5: rails here, all right, so let's let's talk about this

389
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 5: Atlanta defense. The first thing that pops out about them

390
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 5: as you start looking is they are dead last in

391
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 5: sacks in the NFL. They don't have six on the season,

392
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 5: their highest total for an individual.

393
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 6: I'm all tangled over here. I don't know if you're like.

394
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: Everyone.

395
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 6: I was trying to be nonchalant about it, but it's

396
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 6: not really working, you know.

397
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 5: He has the four box up. So everybody's just looking

398
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 5: dead at you. Great, yeah, sorry. So they have their

399
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 5: their highest total for any individual players one and a

400
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 5: half sacks. Like they don't have a lot of they

401
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 5: don't get a lot of production out of their their

402
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 5: past rush. My question for you is if there is

403
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 5: a player, one player that has a certain level of skill,

404
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 5: that this would be the week they could get going

405
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 5: and actually create some some pressure. Knowing that Dallas has

406
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 5: had its issues being able to protect, who would that player.

407
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 3: Bet it's gonna be Matthew Jerdon doesn't it it would

408
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 3: beat you don.

409
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 6: I also kind of look at Grady Jared Jared, Yeah,

410
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 6: Judn just doesn't feel comfortable there. Yeah, it doesn't feel

411
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 6: like he's the he's yeah, he's lost a step.

412
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, Matthew. They traded for him from New England. Yeah,

413
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 7: And and Dallas has faced him before. If you remember,

414
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 7: there was he was two years ago, maybe last year.

415
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 7: New End came here last year last year Dallas.

416
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. And so Dallas did a nice job

417
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: of handling.

418
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 7: I think he got hurt in that game, matter of fact,

419
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 7: for the season. Yeah, so that would be the one guy.

420
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 7: The thing with Matthew Greudondo if you watch him, and

421
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 7: I went back and watched because I was curious, like,

422
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 7: what's going on with this? Why is he why is

423
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 7: there the struggle you talk about how comfortable or lack

424
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 7: of He's getting double team more than any time.

425
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 3: He has in his career.

426
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 7: Because I went back and looked, I'm like, what's the deal?

427
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 7: They Atlanta, as you mentioned, doesn't have great pass rushers.

428
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 7: He's their best option. So teams have said, okay, let's

429
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 7: take their best option out of the game. And so

430
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 7: he's faced more double teams this year. Like I think

431
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 7: the metrics said it was like ten percent, which is

432
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 7: the most hit he's faced since two.

433
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 3: Thousand and eighteen. So how about that delivery?

434
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:52,479
Speaker 5: Right?

435
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 3: There was votes Fossil came in and dropped Alpson to

436
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 3: bring it in.

437
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 6: But I don't even know what it was.

438
00:18:59,000 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 3: I think that was Chris.

439
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 4: Aren't okay?

440
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 8: Everything on here is okay?

441
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 2: Everything in here? I assume everything is approved. I think, no,

442
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 2: it's all approved.

443
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 3: It's okay. Here we go, Mars company. We love the

444
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 3: Mars Company.

445
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 2: Everything go ahead, right, I enjoy your report?

446
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 6: So the what I enjoyed your report?

447
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 3: Okay?

448
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: Uh Turner Mike now.

449
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 7: But the yeah, so what's happening is more double teams

450
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 7: his direction because they don't have somebody opposite. This might

451
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 7: be the first time that that uh Tyler guid gets

452
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 7: to play against a guy that he's equal to or

453
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 7: or maybe a little bit better. This is it's so

454
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 7: we take into a week nine, but maybe we got

455
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 7: a guy here that will be good for him to

456
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 7: be able to handle.

457
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 5: And you know, that's actually one of the questions I

458
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 5: have for you guys, like looking at this and how

459
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 5: poor they are when it comes to the pass rush.

460
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 5: Really what I think and I've made it no, I mean,

461
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 5: it's been very clear that I feel like the biggest

462
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 5: problem the Cowboys offense has is their offensive line and

463
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 5: their ability to consistently protect Dak. Is this a week

464
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 5: where maybe the offense now can really get going because

465
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 5: as you just said, like there are actual guys on

466
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 5: the other side that they can actually block that will

467
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 5: give Dak time. Now Dak can maybe do all the

468
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 5: things that this offense wants him to do.

469
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is an opportunity. I'm covering my mouth because

470
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 6: I don't have a water to watch down this chocolate

471
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 6: that I just say I think this is an opportunity

472
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 6: for Dak to be able to really get this passing

473
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 6: game going. And I've said it before, but I'm standing

474
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 6: on it this week. I think this is going to

475
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 6: be a shootout because I think this passing offense is

476
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 6: going to get going. There might be some opportunities in

477
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 6: the run game that we'll dive into here in a bit,

478
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 6: but in the past game specifically, I think they can

479
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 6: get multiple weapons involved. I'm looking at Jake Ferguson after

480
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 6: the week that Kate Otten had last week. I'm looking

481
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 6: at Jalen Tolbert just because I think he can be

482
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 6: able to get open on some opportunities CD in the

483
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 6: slot specifically, I don't necessarily like him on the outside

484
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 6: in this game. A guy like aj Terrell, we've got

485
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 6: a little bit more physicality. I want him to be

486
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 6: able to isolate his beat and get out in the

487
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 6: get out in the open field.

488
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, he needs to attack d Alford in this game.

489
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 3: The Alfred is their nickel.

490
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 7: And if you watch the Kansas City game, ten targets,

491
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 7: ten receptions and Kansas City's got you know, Kansas got

492
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 7: Rice and this before he got hurt. But you know

493
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 7: they they have guys that can run, and they have

494
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 7: guys that can play well on the slot and the

495
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 7: Alford all year long, teams have gone after him a

496
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 7: little bit. Now we'll say this about when you when

497
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 7: you look at Terrell, Terrell and Lamb have played against

498
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 7: each other twice and you're thinking, oh, man, he carried

499
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 7: him all.

500
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 3: No, he there was.

501
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 7: I think there was only like five times where because

502
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 7: usually Tarot in the old regime, the old coaching staff

503
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 7: of the Smith regime, they kept him on the left side,

504
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 7: and the Cowboys took Lamb and took him.

505
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 3: Put him away from Terrell and with the other way.

506
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 7: So CD has had some success against the Falcons in

507
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 7: two games, but the but it hasn't gone against Terrell.

508
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 7: He was always playing left side. But well now they're

509
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 7: poking in. But see now that yeah, that's he's always

510
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 7: getting in your way. But the thing about with Terrell

511
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 7: now is he plays both sides, so you're gonna see

512
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 7: him well, yeah, he plays left and right. I mean

513
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 7: almost fifty to fifty on how he plays.

514
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess the question I'm asking is do they

515
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 5: indiscriminately move him around in their scheme or is it

516
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 5: more about I'm gonna take this guy and wherever he goes,

517
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 5: I'm going with him.

518
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 3: They move him around, they move him around the scheme.

519
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 7: Now, maybe the way to get away with this, Like

520
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 7: I said, maybe think about playing him more than the slot,

521
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 7: because every time I watched these games, Alford was playing

522
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 7: in the slot.

523
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 2: So Terrell doesn't move into the He didn't move in

524
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: the slot.

525
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 3: He wasn't moving the slot. The games I watched they

526
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 3: went with Alford.

527
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 7: There now could be a situation, you know, team's like, hey,

528
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 7: our best chance, we're not going to get pass rush.

529
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 7: Our best chance is to just travel Teroll with and

530
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 7: see what happens. Yeah, this team plays a ton of

531
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 7: zone coverage. Okay, but they also play a lot of

532
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 7: off coverage. Did you see any of the Yeah, okay,

533
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 7: take a guess who your best off coverage receiver is.

534
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 7: If you look at just the metric side of things,

535
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 7: if teams are going to play off your receiver, who's

536
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 7: the cowboy receiver that has the most success against off coverage?

537
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 6: I would have to assume CD No, Jalenbert, Tolbert. Yeah.

538
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 2: I was actually gonna mention Tulbert.

539
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 7: It's got seventeen receptions, which leads the team in off coverage.

540
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 7: So if they're gonna play zone, which they play eighty

541
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 7: percent of the time, you can watch a play and

542
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,719
Speaker 7: you're like going zone, zone, zone, and then you look

543
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 7: at the metrics side of things, eighty percent. They used

544
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 7: to be very man heavy, like almost fifty to fifty

545
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 7: man heavy last year under the old regime. Now they

546
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 7: play far more zone. They got no pass rush and

547
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 7: they're playing zone.

548
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: This is dangerous. This is a very dangerous situation for

549
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 3: them to have to deal with.

550
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 7: But that's what they believe in. That's how they play it.

551
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 7: They're not going to sit there and try and blitche

552
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 7: you in all those things. They're going to try and

553
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 7: see if they can hold up and not give up

554
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 7: big plays.

555
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 6: From my notes here, it felt like the only time

556
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 6: that they ran man on a consistent basis was in

557
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 6: second and third and long situations.

558
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 3: There you go, there you go. So yeah, that's to me.

559
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 7: To me, the guy I go after, like I say,

560
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 7: try and make sure you secure Judawn the edge and

561
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 7: then make sure then you try and get as many

562
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 7: guys on all For number twenty, the Nickel, he's the

563
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 7: guy that seems to have when they run routes on

564
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 7: him the most separation, you know, even when they care

565
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 7: and he has to carry guys you see breaking routes.

566
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 3: He's kind of in your trail position right there.

567
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 5: Who is the best person Let's assume for a second

568
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 5: they're going to travel trail and they're going to travel

569
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 5: him everywhere. Let's say that they're going to run him

570
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 5: into the slot as well. Who is the next best

571
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 5: person that Dallas could run out and put in the

572
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 5: slot in situations and still get the production if you're

573
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 5: trying to get them matched up with with that their

574
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 5: nickel corner, you.

575
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 6: Feel confidence Hulbert in the slot because I don't.

576
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 7: I don't I would put I put Turpin in there

577
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 7: and just go because I think that Alford has had

578
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 7: some problems with Kansas City.

579
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 3: He had the problems with speed inside and quickness inside.

580
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 7: You know, I was watching that game. I'm like, gosh, dang,

581
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,479
Speaker 7: he's given up. Every time they throw at him, he's

582
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 7: given up. And I went back and looked at the

583
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 7: numbers ten for ten. You're like, going, Okay, here we go.

584
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 7: That's what we got to do here. So yeah, I'm

585
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 7: kind of I'm kind of in that mode right now

586
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 7: where I would definitely I would think about putting I

587
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 7: think about putting turpin inside on that in that situation.

588
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 6: Alford on the season has allowed thirty five receptions on

589
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 6: forty five targets for two hundred and eighty four yards.

590
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 7: So three touchdowns I believe too. I think I looked

591
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 7: at that. Yeah, no picks, three touchdowns.

592
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 6: Not necessarily a lot of yards per attempt, but kind

593
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 6: of granted, given the nature of his position, he shouldn't

594
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 6: be given up the play, but he still gives a

595
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 6: healthy amount of yards up per game.

596
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 5: Run defense, what do they look like? Is that an

597
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 5: opportunity for the Cowboys or where is there's the opportunity?

598
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, and how confident do you feel in this offensive

599
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 6: line being able to pull consistently to bring polers around,

600
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 6: run counters, things of that nature depend It depends on

601
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 6: who's pulling. But I saw things against Tampa Bay where

602
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 6: Tampa Bay's offensive line, Granted they had Tristan Wurz at

603
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 6: left tackles, it's a little bit different, but they were

604
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 6: pulling guys to the right side and Bucky Ring Rashod White,

605
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 6: those guys were able to find holes and they weren't

606
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 6: really having to make guys miss until four or five

607
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 6: yards down the field. So I think if they can

608
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 6: try to lane on these pollers a little bit early

609
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 6: in the run game, I think there might be an

610
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 6: opportunity there at the first two levels of for the Falcons.

611
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 6: They just could not find consistency in that game against

612
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 6: the Buccaneers. It was tough for both of those levels.

613
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 5: I think there are two guys on the offensive line

614
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,479
Speaker 5: that I feel good about pulling, Tyler Smith and and Bebie.

615
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 5: Those are the two I feel comfortable pulling. I think

616
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 5: Zach Martin getting him out of space. I just it

617
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 5: looks like there was a play last week where he

618
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 5: was kind of run out. He was just he couldn't

619
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 5: get to the sounder guy coming up. It just it's

620
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 5: just like it's it looks like he's laboring out there

621
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 5: to try to get in position to make a block,

622
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 5: and I just think that's not not going to help you.

623
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 7: Something that I just looked up in just because of

624
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 7: the question you brought up or the point you brought up, Nick,

625
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 7: Because Dallas had their best success with Elliott running against

626
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 7: that light box, which is six or less, Falcons are

627
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 7: going to play light box six or fewer defenders fifty

628
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 7: three percent of the snaps.

629
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 3: That's eighth most in the league right now.

630
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 7: So if they're going to be committed, if they're going

631
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 7: to say, Okay, we're going to play six defenders and

632
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 7: try and handle everything else on the back end, Dallas

633
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 7: has had some success running against that.

634
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, it was.

635
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,239
Speaker 7: It's fleeting at times, it really really is. But at

636
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 7: least that's the one thing last week when you look

637
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 7: at San Francisco that the runs that like of the

638
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 7: of the of the positive runs four yards or more

639
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 7: that of I think the ten carries, half of them

640
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 7: for Zeke were four yards or more. Yep, they were

641
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 7: against slight box.

642
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 3: So maybe maybe that might be an avenue for you there.

643
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,719
Speaker 2: We're gonna take our final break when we come back.

644
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 5: I want to dive a little deeper into that conversation

645
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 5: because I went back and watched the runs in that

646
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 5: game last week, and I want to want to ask

647
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 5: you guys a little bit about number one, how you

648
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 5: assess Dalvin Cook's play, but number two, talk a little

649
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 5: bit about what Zeke was able to do last week,

650
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 5: because I don't know if that's getting enough attention that

651
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 5: he can get a lot of opportunities, but the opportunities

652
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 5: he got. I want to get your opinions on how

653
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 5: well you think you performed. We'll talk about that when

699

Speaker 10: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

700

Speaker 10: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

701
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 10: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

Speaker 10: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

703
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 10: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

704
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 10: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

714
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,959

716
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 2: Now she does not.

717
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 6: She's been through about Funny Things going till fifty eight

718
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 6: in the show Funny Thing.

719
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 8: While Brian was doing his breakdown, I was just I

720
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 8: was thinking should I eat the candy or just wait

721
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 8: to have my lunch? Like, I was just thinking about food.

722
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 8: And then also I was thinking, which I wanted to ask,

723
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 8: what do you know the average for the time of

724
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 8: possession that the Falcons offense tend to have.

725
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 6: I will say they've only won the time of possession

726
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 6: battle twice and they're won and one in those games.

727
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 6: So factor that for what you will.

728
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, all right, let's talk about the running game

729
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 5: for the Cowboys. I want to go a little, a

730
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 5: little farther into that conversation. This These spiderwebs are killing

731
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 5: you guys.

732
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 3: All right.

733
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 5: First of all, give me an assessment on Dalvin Cook

734
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 5: from last week. He only had six carries, But of

735
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 5: those six carries, what did you see from him? Was

736
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 5: there something you like? Was there something that was like, Eh,

737
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 5: I don't know, just what was your assessment of his

738
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 5: play last.

739
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 6: It kind of reminded me of the opportunities that Douce

740
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 6: Fawn has had this year, where it's just like, Okay,

741
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 6: he didn't really have a lot of protection, so you know,

742
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 6: it is what it is. I loved the ten twelve

743
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 6: yard reception he had to his first touch over the middle.

744
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 6: That was that was something I was like, okay, yeah,

745
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,479
Speaker 6: hey bringing that and you know we can we can

746
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 6: get active with him. But as far as the run game,

747
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 6: I don't think there was really any positives to take away.

748
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 6: But I don't think there was necessarily any negatives to

749
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 6: take away from Dwin's perspective. It was just a product

750
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 6: of that protection unit not having its best game in

751
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 6: the run game.

752
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think the running game, you know, we start

753
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 7: to talk about, you know, try and point your finger

754
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 7: at something. Is it the backs is that they're really

755
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 7: struggling blocking piece body. Yeah, yeah, they're they're they're struggling

756
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 7: blocking people and they're you know, they finally when they

757
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 7: have gotten guys up on second level, it's been fine.

758
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 3: When they don't, it's I don't I don't know how

759
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 3: you can have a running play and not block Fred Warner.

760
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 3: I just don't. I don't know.

761
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm I'm thinking if okay, we're gonna call

762
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 7: a running play and we're gonna gonna block Fred Fred

763
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 7: Warner on this play, What do you.

764
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 3: Think the game's gonna be.

765
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say it's probably gonna be a zero or

766
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 7: negative play. And you know that's what happens to you.

767
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 7: You and they don't run all that much, and then

768
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 7: when they don't block the best run defender, now you're questioning, like, well,

769
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 7: why run it all if you're.

770
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 3: Not going to block the best guy?

771
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 6: You know.

772
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 3: So I don't think it's.

773
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,479
Speaker 7: Probably something they didn't go into the game thinking they

774
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 7: weren't gonna block him. Something happens, they don't get up,

775
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 7: you know, so it's hard to evaluate where they're at.

776
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 7: I like what Nick's talking about with some poll stuff though.

777
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 7: You know, I'm liking that because I think that, like

778
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 7: you get Smith out there and poll in space, I

779
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 7: think that that's not a bad thing out there. You know,

780
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 7: you get some angle blocks, you get some guys coming down.

781
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 7: We talk about Member Arizona and we did the pen

782
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 7: and poll stuff. You could, you could a lot of

783
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 7: teams are doing that. A lot of you can gash

784
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 7: some people doing.

785
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 3: That pen and poll stuff. Get the ball to the edge.

786
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 7: You know, Dallas is not a great edge rushing team.

787
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,959
Speaker 7: Everything kind of comes downhill and then cuts. So maybe

788
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 7: they don't have unless they unless you put somebody in

789
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 7: the backfield like Turpin and go Pin and poll, or

790
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 7: put somebody in the back of CD. Somebody it's got

791
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 7: a little bit more explosive, this is a little bit

792
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 7: more quickness, you know, then I would think that that

793
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 7: would be something that I would be a little bit

794
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 7: more interested in.

795
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm being very negative right now, and not even

796
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 8: the candy and not even the candies helping my mind,

797
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 8: because everything is just like, Okay, I like what you're

798
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 8: saying about this matchup, and like it favors the Cowboys

799
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 8: offense a lot more and somebody. But at the same time,

800
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 8: I think, okay, what if it's the other way around

801
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 8: to where maybe this is the time that they make

802
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 8: their defense look good.

803
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 5: You know.

804
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's always, yeah, there's goodwill games.

805
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, they probably look at this game and they're like,

806
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 5: our pass rush might be able to get That's exactly.

807
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 2: There's there's a flip side to everything, absolutely, So.

808
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 8: It's hard to get away from that because even the

809
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 8: and we've talked about it, everybody knows already on here,

810
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 8: like the games that they've won. Even then, the Cowboys

811
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 8: offense has been struggling all throughout the season. Even in wins,

812
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 8: they just don't make a few serious and that are

813
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 8: really really good.

814
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 6: And then it just disappears.

815
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 8: And then so you I feel like you see maybe

816
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 8: two series in a game where they're really good and like, Okay,

817
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 8: that's what you gotta do, and then it just goes away.

818
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 8: So it's just one of those things that it's hard

819
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,760
Speaker 8: to even see the matchup being favorable for the Cowboys

820
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 8: this weekend.

821
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 6: I think more often than not, this is something that

822
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 6: I just feel like might not happen for the Cowboys.

823
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 6: Pulling guards. If we're talking about that pulling guys gap

824
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 6: scheme runs. They only ran two against the forty nine ers,

825
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 6: and if you're pulling guys nine times out of ten,

826
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 6: that's gonna be a gap scheme type run. So it's like,

827
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 6: if you want to isolate Dalvin Cook on the outside,

828
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 6: which the coaches have talked about, they want to get

829
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 6: him out on the outside into space, why don't you

830
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 6: pull some guys to help kind of pave that way

831
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 6: and assign them to defenders rather than you know, just

832
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 6: areas of the field. Because I feel like I feel

833
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 6: like there's a little bit too much guessing going on

834
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 6: at things in the run game. From the protection perspective.

835
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 3: They to be honest with you, they might not have

836
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 3: confidence in the point of attack. Tight end blocks, Yeah,

837
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 3: that was actually real.

838
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 5: I was watching the runs in this last game and

839
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 5: one of the big things that kept popping up. Now,

840
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 5: part of it was they were putting tight ends in

841
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 5: situations where they were having to block Bosa one on one.

842
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 5: They ain't gonna win that. I'm just gonna say, you know,

843
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 5: you're not gonna win that. But but I do think

844
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 5: that was a and you talk about it all the

845
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 5: time this too, Brian. The wide receivers they aren't great

846
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 5: blockers either, and so you start thinking about it from

847
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 5: that standpoint, like there's just there's so much, there's so

848
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 5: much to go around when it comes to missing blocks

849
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 5: in the run game, it's really across the board.

850
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 7: The receivers have problems blocking because of the I think

851
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 7: because of the width of the offense.

852
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 3: That's something they can't get there. Yeah, there's something.

853
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 7: I'm watching these teams that run the ball well, and

854
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 7: a lot of them do it out of condensed looks.

855
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 7: They do it where they play they're twenty yards across

856
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 7: and they're not twenty seven yards across and trying to

857
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 7: get you know, trying to get a receiver to make

858
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 7: a cutoff block. A lot of teams just play condensed.

859
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 7: They're like, we're going to run the ball, we're gonna

860
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 7: make sure a guy's get in position, or we're going

861
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 7: to bring an extra blocker over with motion. You know,

862
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 7: I watched, I say, I'm watching the Tampa Atlanta game.

863
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 7: I'm watching Atlanta's defense. I'm watching Tampa bring a guy

864
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 7: in motion. As they're bringing in motion, they snap the

865
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 7: ball and he goes and blocks and they throw a

866
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 7: swing to the back. But they got a blocker in

867
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 7: motion going up the field. It's not just throw the

868
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 7: swing and hope they miss. They've dedicated a guy moving

869
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,439
Speaker 7: across the formation to be a kickout block. Then once

870
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 7: they catch the ball, then they just go up the field.

871
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 7: So it's not like, Okay, catch it and make a

872
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 7: guy miss. No, we're going to block that guy and

873
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 7: we're gonna make you have to make the second guy miss.

874
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 6: You know.

875
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 3: That's that's the things you got to think about it.

876
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 5: And that's just so people understand when you're talking about condensed, condensed,

877
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 5: and then think one of the big things when you

878
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 5: when you're out wide, you think about it. You gotta

879
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,280
Speaker 5: Let's say a cornerback is out he split five yards

880
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 5: from the from the tackle or from the tight end,

881
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 5: and and in that situation, he's got a guy across

882
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 5: from him.

883
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 2: If that guy goes screaming down to what the run

884
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 2: are going to stop, you can't get to it.

885
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 3: You can't.

886
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 5: Now, if you're compressed, which means you're condensed, you're closer

887
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 5: to that tackle or that that end than what you're

888
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 5: able to do is now you just get in a way.

889
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 5: You have to be a great blocker. You just can

890
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 5: get in the way, kind of shield a little bit.

891
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 5: It gives the running back and opportunity to get around

892
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 5: you and be able to make the run. So that's

893
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 5: what you're talking about there, And yeah, how you how

894
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 5: you make it easier for your wide receivers.

895
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 7: The best condensed teams in the league are San Francisco,

896
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 7: the Rams, the Dolphins. You know, they all share that

897
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 7: where they they everythinks it's great to spread everybody out

898
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 7: until you have to block. Yep, and then when you

899
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 7: have to when and then if your guys aren't you

900
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 7: know hinz Ward come flying down there and blow people

901
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 7: up kind of receivers, then you're going to have a

902
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 7: lot of miss blocks.

903
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 5: Yep, absolutely all right, So right now, based on what

904
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 5: you saw this last week, and maybe you didn't see

905
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 5: enough to change it, but how would you utilize your

906
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 5: running backs going into this next game? If you had

907
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 5: to say, I'm going to give this guy this number

908
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 5: of carries, this guy this number carries, this guy this

909
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 5: number of carries, how would you how would you split

910
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 5: that up?

911
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 13: Oh?

912
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 6: Man? I if I want to see what Dalvin has

913
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 6: in a healthy opportunity, I mean trade deadline is next Tuesday.

914
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 6: If they are actually if they are thinking in the

915
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 6: back of their mind to make a move, then they

916
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 6: need to see what Dalvin has to offer it for

917
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 6: a full opportunity, not necessarily six carries for twelve yards.

918
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 6: So I mean give him five to ten more touches.

919
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,439
Speaker 6: I was split it up evenly three ways. Rico zeke

920
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 6: Dalvin five to ten touches each. That's that's how I

921
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 6: would do it.

922
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 3: Do you play one?

923
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 7: You play them every series, just alternate series, and then

924
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 7: whoever has the hot hand in the second half, that's

925
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 7: your guy. I'm with that, you know, like if it's

926
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 7: Zeke and like, that's a good series for Zeke and

927
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 7: every well, bitch because they'll say, why'd you take him out?

928
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 7: He had the hot hand. You better figure out maybe

929
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:24,919
Speaker 7: you could come back to it, you know, I would.

930
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 7: I would definitely give each one of them a series

931
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 7: and then whichever looks the best out of the three

932
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 7: series to start the game.

933
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 3: That's my guy the rest of the way.

934
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 5: And Hunter of course, Hey, by the way, Hunter, I

935
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,439
Speaker 5: still as much as I love his game, they still

936
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 5: gotta do He's got to do better in the blocking game.

937
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 2: That's another guy that had. He had a couple of

938
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 2: plays there it was like, come on, man, you.

939
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 8: Can only do so much.

940
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 3: Okay.

941
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 5: But but again that that goes back to you can't

942
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 5: really blame any one person. If you say, I take

943
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 5: this person and I'll change him out, the running game

944
00:40:58,480 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 5: isn't going to get better.

945
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 2: It is a holistic thing.

946
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 5: You need a better You need better blocking from almost

947
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 5: everybody up there, because everybody has their moments when it's

948
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 5: just like that wasn't that wasn't what you need in

949
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 5: order to make the successful.

950
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 6: I would need to go back and look at the

951
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 6: numbers on it, but just off of vibes and feelings,

952
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 6: it feels like they haven't lined up Hunter in fullback

953
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 6: situations to go downhill dack.

954
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 2: Under not a lot they did a lot for They

955
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 2: put him on the wings a lot.

956
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, they did that a lot for Paula last year.

957
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 6: And Hunter he got in there and he got dirty.

958
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 3: Got better.

959
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 7: He was a half man blocker, and but that second

960
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 7: half of the season he was taking people on full

961
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 7: and they're.

962
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 5: Not doing it this year, not doing it, which again

963
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 5: that that gets up being the question why you know

964
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 5: so anyway.

965
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 6: Lacks in the running game.

966
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 8: Man. I like where you guys are saying, but it's

967
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 8: hard to think that they would actually do something like that,

968
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 8: Like it's hard to envision like letting some one guy

969
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 8: go first, do all of them, then take it out

970
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 8: put somebody else in.

971
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 6: So it's I don't know, i'd.

972
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 7: Actually you can actually do what they do with the

973
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 7: what the Lions do? Lions switch their guys out, like

974
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 7: every play, Yeah, they'll run a guy and then they'll

975
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 7: run another guy. I mean, just roll them just what

976
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 7: you get.

977
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 9: I don't know. I don't.

978
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 8: It's just I see the pros and cons on both scenarios.

979
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 8: I think they both bring different things. I think he

980
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 8: could mess up the rhythm, but then at the same time,

981
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 8: it's like, do you even have rhythm? So it goes

982
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 8: into that.

983
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 3: It's all con. Yeah, it's all Conn right now, there's

984
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 3: no pro.

985
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 8: But you know what, I just wonder how I'm curious

986
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 8: to see because he did show these few plays last

987
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 8: week where he shows some aggressiveness in his game that

988
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 8: we have been used to seeing years ago, right, and

989
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 8: then we haven't seen it yet. And then all of

990
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 8: a sudden in that game, maybe it was the whole

991
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 8: Darvin Cook coming up, and then maybe he's like, let

992
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 8: me mark my territory here, and then he showed that

993
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 8: aggression in there, which is what you want to see

994
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 8: and what you love about him or what you're to

995
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 8: loving about him. So I wonder how he goes into

996
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 8: this game, because it did started fading away last weekend

997
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 8: as the game went on. He just had those power runs,

998
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 8: but then that was it.

999
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 2: Really well, I'll tell you this. One of the things

1000
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 2: I loved about scored Off too.

1001
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, one of the things I saw from Zeke last

1002
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 5: week that I loved was it was really the yards

1003
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,439
Speaker 5: after contact, right, because there were a number of runs

1004
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 5: square a couple yeah where he got hit, you know,

1005
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 5: two or three yards past the line of scrimmage, and

1006
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 5: he ended up getting another three or four yards. And

1007
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 5: that's what I like, because again, when you have an

1008
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 5: offensive line and tight ends and wide receivers and fullbacks

1009
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 5: that aren't really blocking great on any given play, anybody

1010
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 5: could have a bus you need a running back that

1011
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 5: could still get yards after they've been contacted. And I

1012
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 5: think that's what I saw from him that really, I

1013
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 5: think was some of the better running we've seen all

1014
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 5: season in that game from him.

1015
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 2: He just didn't get enough opportunity.

1016
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 3: It might be the fact that number twenty actually dressed

1017
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 3: for that game that got Zeke a little motive.

1018
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 6: Maybe maybe this came from Mike McCarthy and yesterday's press conference,

1019
00:43:58,239 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 6: he was asked about Dalvin Cook, and I think he

1020
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 6: kind of an interesting answer about the entire running back situation.

1021
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 6: He said, I thought he did a nice job. Didn't

1022
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 6: get a lot of opportunities, but it's a challenge to

1023
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 6: get multiple guys reps. Running back by committee is definitely

1024
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 6: not the preference, but we feel it's the best way

1025
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 6: to utilize these guys. We didn't have enough trips to

1026
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:17,479
Speaker 6: the plate just as a whole.

1027
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 2: Yep, did he say anything we didn't know?

1028
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 6: I mean, I mean, I think it's interesting Mike McCarthy

1029
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 6: saying running back by committee is definitely not the preference.

1030
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 8: Well, the bi committee in any position ever worked for

1031
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 8: the Cowboys.

1032
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 3: Made him trade a first round pick for a while.

1033
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 6: Exactly exactly, Well.

1034
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 2: Running back by committee has worked in the past, long

1035
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 2: time ago.

1036
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 3: I'll take Detroit committee of running the ball.

1037
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say, if you got the right running back.

1038
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,320
Speaker 5: I remember the Giants when they had Tiki Barber and

1039
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 5: what was the big guy's name, Brandon j Like that

1040
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 5: was a nice tandem. I mean, you can make running

1041
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 5: back back commedi work if you got the right running

1042
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 5: We're gonna face it this weekend, Cowboys.

1043
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 3: Exactly exactly.

1044
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 7: I mean. The thing about it is, though, to me,

1045
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 7: if you're going to play all three of the guys,

1046
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 7: use them alternatum every play, Just see what you got,

1047
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 7: find somebody and then and then maybe it doesn't become

1048
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 7: committee anymore. Maybe all of a sudden, Mike Mark's a

1049
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 7: play on his play sheets like, oh, that was a

1050
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 7: pretty good one. Okay, go back to that one when

1051
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 7: Zeke's in there, Go back to this one when Cook's

1052
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 7: in there, Go back with this one with Daddle. You know,

1053
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 7: I'm all for throwing the ball to Dalvin Cook. By

1054
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 7: the way, whatever we can do to throw the ball,

1055
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 7: did you.

1056
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 8: Do the same thing of switching them out on third downs?

1057
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 3: Are okay?

1058
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 7: This is this is where maybe the one time that

1059
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 7: I needed And maybe this is because Dalvin Cook hasn't

1060
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 7: played a lot of plays for you. I wish he

1061
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 7: would have just been aware to pick up that that

1062
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 7: pick up Bosa when Steele got beat inside. If he

1063
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 7: just turns and picks up Bosa, maybe Dak can get

1064
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 7: the ball down the field. You know, if Zeke's in there,

1065
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 7: maybe it's a little bit more awareness of don't worry

1066
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 7: about checking inside as much. I need all the help

1067
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 7: on the outside. It's probably Dalvin just not playing a

1068
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 7: lot with Steel, because if I'm a running back, I'm

1069
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:02,919
Speaker 7: kind of keeping an eye. If I'm over that side,

1070
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 7: I'm always looking at Steel. I'm thinking Still is going

1071
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 7: to need my help here one way or another, you know,

1072
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 7: or if you're on the other side, It's like, okay, Geyton,

1073
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 7: I know, Smith's get a block.

1074
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 3: I don't worry. I'm worried about geitting over here, you know.

1075
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 3: And you needed a hero block. You needed one of

1076
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 3: those aware hero blocks where.

1077
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 7: He all of a sudden he's looking inside, but oh no,

1078
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 7: he peels back and he takes Bosa.

1079
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 3: Now Dak launches it down the field.

1080
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 7: It's a touchdown, and you go back and then Chris

1081
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 7: Collinsworth goes watch the block here by Dalvin Cook, you know,

1082
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 7: and that got the ball.

1083
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 3: Ask you, yeah, that's that's what you needed. But maybe

1084
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 3: a lot of time on not time on task, affected

1085
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 3: you that way.

1086
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: And we know.

1087
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 5: But one thing we will say is we've seen Deep

1088
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 5: Zeke make those kind of hero block hero blocks, right,

1089
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 5: So I do think maybe the answer is Zeke or

1090
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 5: I've actually been pretty happy with Lipkey on third down too.

1091
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,920
