0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.279
<v Speaker 5>going to talk about the Atlanta defense versus the Cowboys offense,

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 5>some very interesting things. There are some opportunities for the

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 5>Cowboys there. We'll talk about all that here in the

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.520

0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:17.040

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, let's put the Thanksgiving that'll be for Thanksgiving. Good job,

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 5>good job, Chris really looks really nice, and I'm sure

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 5>fans are appreciating out there because they can see it

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:50.720

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Are you changing the colors for the shows or it's

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna stay just like.

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 3>We're gonna say orange? Who you know, halloweens.

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it works, all right, let's jump in. Let's talk

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:06.920
<v Speaker 2>about injuries walking Browns, Broncos, Yeah, Bears, Trayvon Diggs.

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 5>Uh, he ends up on the injury report yesterday. What

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 5>are we hearing about that? Because obviously that's a position that,

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 5>as we mentioned yesterday, Cowboys seemed to be especially hit

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:15.359
<v Speaker 5>hard there.

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.640
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, he said he's feeling good. It's a calf injury

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 6>that he he suffered in the game against the forty

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:21.679
<v Speaker 6>nine ers. He said he has a little just a

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 6>little bit of tightness here early in the week, but

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.919
<v Speaker 6>he's not worried about his availability going deeper into the week.

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 6>But we'll see today.

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 5>Good Doron Bland did not practice. But one note at

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 5>the cornerback position, Kayln Carson was a full participant.

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 2>We're here and there.

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, he was a full participant last week.

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 3>Too.

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Wasn't he stop you gotta kill everything? Yeah, I'm just

0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 2>trying to.

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 3>Be real running back, a good running back on because.

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 6>I don't want to get it.

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 2>I got excited.

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 6>I don't want to I don't want to get the

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 6>tweets on Sunday, being like he's a full participant all week,

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 6>why is he enacted today as well. I'm just letting

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 6>you guys know.

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 3>Right now, trying to get a running back on fair.

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 6>I think, uh, I think with Kaylen moving into the week,

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 6>I think there's a good chance he played, especially with

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 6>a Monti or Warrior lightning on ir but Doron Blande

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 6>officially activated to the active roster yesterday, that does not

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 6>necessarily mean he will play Sunday. He needs to practice

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 6>this week, so Mike McCarthy did say he hopes to

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 6>get him on the field today in a limited capacity.

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:16.480
<v Speaker 6>We'll have a little bit more for McCarthy later, as

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:18.799
<v Speaker 6>I think his press conference starts in about four minutes.

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 5>If you guys had to handicap it based on what

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.480
<v Speaker 5>things you've heard and seen, what do you think is

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 5>his chances of playing this week?

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 3>He started yesterday with the working group. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.600
<v Speaker 7>The thing was when you ask him about injuries. You know,

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.359
<v Speaker 7>you start to ask questions about injuries, which one.

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 2>They got a lot of?

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, he can't even which one.

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 7>A you're talking about. But it's going to be today.

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 7>We'll see if Bland does in fact practice and we'll

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 7>see if in fact, though that Michael Parsons practices and

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:51.840
<v Speaker 7>it I would say if neither one of those guys

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 7>practiced today, I would say it's pretty good shot that's

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 7>not going to play this week.

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:57.679
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think there's a little bit more optimism on Bland,

0:04:57.760 --> 0:04:58.279
<v Speaker 6>but still.

0:04:58.120 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 3>A bit more but not. Yeah, it's kind of it's

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.480
<v Speaker 3>it's it's really touch and go with there right now.

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 5>So yeah, man, it's tough because I think at the

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 5>cornerback position you got so many guys out, so it's

0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 5>a volume thing. With the pass rush, it really is

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 5>just Mike that you need Micaeh back. You need to

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.359
<v Speaker 5>be able to get some pass rush, and obviously they

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.720
<v Speaker 5>missed Tank, don't get me wrong, but it's like, if

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.839
<v Speaker 5>you feel like if you can get Micah back, at

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.040
<v Speaker 5>least you could just at least have one guy that

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:25.279
<v Speaker 5>is a real true pass rusher and then you can

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 5>kind of work with that a little bit.

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:27.840
<v Speaker 2>You guys get that sense as well.

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think so, especially in a game like this

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 6>where they need pass rush. Yeah, getting Michael back would

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.599
<v Speaker 6>be huge. That's just in general across the season. I mean,

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 6>look at these last three games that they haven't had him.

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.160
<v Speaker 6>They need him back for sure.

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 7>It kind of gives you a little bit of idea

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.039
<v Speaker 7>for all the talk about trading him, what your team

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.280
<v Speaker 7>would look like without him in fact, you know, kind

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 7>of give you a little bit of an idea there.

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.840
<v Speaker 3>But I you know, I just this.

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 7>I know we talked about a little bit yesterday, but

0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 7>I would seriously consider playing Overshown as an edge player.

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.799
<v Speaker 7>I would you get a quarterback to play stationary football

0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:06.840
<v Speaker 7>stands in the middle of the pocket. You know, if

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:10.559
<v Speaker 7>you beat one of these tackles, just Overshown has the link,

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 7>has the ability kind of knows where the quarterback is

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.720
<v Speaker 7>going to be. I would consider maybe playing I'm not saying,

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.680
<v Speaker 7>you know, every down, but kind of a poor man's

0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 7>Micah Parson player. Just just use him in certain situations,

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.160
<v Speaker 7>put him on the edge and let him rush, you know,

0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 7>let him create some problems that link that quickness, the

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 7>ability to finish in the pocket that what we saw

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 7>the other day. You know, there's some things that you

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.520
<v Speaker 7>can do defensively in this game. Will they work Probably

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 7>better than what you've been doing. Probably just you know,

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 7>gives yourself a chance that maybe you do get this

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.560
<v Speaker 7>guy home once or twice. I mean, we're gonna get

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 7>into Atlanta. They got nobody that gets home on their

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 7>on their defense, and that affects how they play defense.

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 3>So, you know, Dallas, if they can, if they could

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 3>find a.

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 7>Way to create some pressure, you know, maybe maybe it

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 7>is a guy like overshown as that kind of that

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:57.480
<v Speaker 7>edge rusher at certain down and distances.

0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 6>How many more weeks do you guys feel.

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 8>There are the crucial weeks for like how do I

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 8>put it, like kind of to determine see how the

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 8>season is going to end for the Cowboys, because I

0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 8>know a lot of people are a lot of fans

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 8>are saying.

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 3>Like, okay, this is it, like you're ready for the

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 3>draft show that kind of thing.

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, But realistically, obviously there's half of the season on

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 8>their way, Like you still have half of the season.

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:25.240
<v Speaker 3>It's a difficult stretch.

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 7>You got to get this thing to the to my opinion,

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.400
<v Speaker 7>this is the rough part of it right now for me,

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 7>when you're dealing with we all felt like the Commanders

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 7>were going to be better.

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 3>But they're six and two better right now. And you

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.600
<v Speaker 3>you got Houston who's playing much better.

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 9>Uh.

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.880
<v Speaker 7>You know, Philadelphia looks like they found something last week offensively.

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.320
<v Speaker 7>Uh you know, they're getting their running game going. You know,

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 7>these are these are all you could look up and

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 7>be on a bad one. We've lost four or five

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 7>games in a row with the opponents that you've had.

0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 7>You lose today or you lose this weekend. It's I

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 7>think it's only gonna get tougher.

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:06.240
<v Speaker 6>You pretty much know where you're at by Thanksgivings.

0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.239
<v Speaker 5>Often, and in my opinion, I think to that point,

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.360
<v Speaker 5>I think after that Thanksgiving Day is gone, it's done.

0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 5>If they're not at five hundred, I think it's it's

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 5>hard to imagine there's a scenario under which they could

0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 5>get back in.

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Because here's the thing.

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:21.160
<v Speaker 5>As tough as this next stretch is, the latter part

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.960
<v Speaker 5>of the season, December feels like there are some teams

0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 5>that are beatable there right they're good teams, but beatable Cincinnati.

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati team that's good but they've.

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.959
<v Speaker 5>Been they've had theirs having their struggles. Yeah, I think

0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 5>you got more of a chance to run off a

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 5>string of games in December than maybe you do over

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:40.599
<v Speaker 5>these next five. But I do think you got to

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 5>basically hold tight and then hope that you get your

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.319
<v Speaker 5>at five hundred by the time you finish Thanksgiving, and

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.800
<v Speaker 5>hopefully you got Micah back, hopefully you don't sustain any

0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 5>other major injuries.

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you start talking about Tank and when he can

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 2>be back.

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:55.599
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know, I think if you get to that

0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.559
<v Speaker 5>point and you're even that's when maybe you can make it.

0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 5>And you also need some of those things like you're

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 5>gonna play Washington, You're gonna play obviously in New York again,

0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 5>You're gonna play Philly twice.

0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think those are the games if you can.

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:09.079
<v Speaker 5>If you can make those some of the games you

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.960
<v Speaker 5>win and you're at five hundred by Thanksgiving, I think

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 5>you got a shot to get yourself back into the

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 5>mix for a playoff spot, maybe not to win the division,

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.240
<v Speaker 5>but to get yourself back into a playoff spot.

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.959
<v Speaker 8>So from now in Thanksgiving, how many losses could you

0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:23.960
<v Speaker 8>technically afford?

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 5>I'm saying you go three and two over these next

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.960
<v Speaker 5>five games, that's what you need. In my opinion, that'll

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:30.839
<v Speaker 5>get you to six and six. Am I doing my math?

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 9>Yeah?

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:35.400
<v Speaker 6>That's that's correct. Yeah yeah, with five games to go. Yeah, yeah,

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:36.040
<v Speaker 6>it's doable.

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, but to me, you don't have any room

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 2>for air.

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 5>If that happens you're at six and six, that means

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.679
<v Speaker 5>you got a real all five wins, like you gotta

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 5>go through December and you gotta be winning every week,

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.679
<v Speaker 5>and that gives you a chance to maybe get into

0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:48.640
<v Speaker 5>the playoffs.

0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 6>I think.

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 7>And I don't want to talk about another sport, but

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.199
<v Speaker 7>I do cover, you know, with one O five to

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 7>three the fan we cover the Range Texas Rangers baseball,

0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.080
<v Speaker 7>and they suffered a lot of injuries, and every week

0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 7>it was We've talked to the general manager, Chris Young.

0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 7>He's like, well, we're getting guys back. We're gonna get

0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 7>guys back. We're gonna get and then.

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:05.080
<v Speaker 3>It was too late.

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.720
<v Speaker 7>It was already by the time you'd gotten everybody back,

0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.560
<v Speaker 7>it was too late. You were already out. And that's

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 7>your hope, that man, we're gonna get these guys back.

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 7>We're gonna get these guys back. That's kind of your

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 7>rallying cry. But and then but yeah, you gotta tread

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 7>water to get there. And then if you but if

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.319
<v Speaker 7>you don't, you lose, you know, say you lose three

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 7>or four straight games, then getting those guys back is

0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:28.119
<v Speaker 7>not gonna.

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 3>Matter, just not.

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 6>I think. I think the two guys you could look

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.599
<v Speaker 6>at that might not quote unquote be back by the

0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 6>time things are kind of decided. One of them tanking

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:37.080
<v Speaker 6>Marshawn Neeland.

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so what what is the timeline on tank? Because

0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was like early December? Is it later

0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 2>than that?

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:46.720
<v Speaker 6>And you're I'm thinking right around Thanksgiving? Maybe after Thanksgiving?

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.559
<v Speaker 6>So yeah, probably right, So he would that last stretch maybe, yeah,

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 6>it would be. But let's say that they get to

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:55.000
<v Speaker 6>that stretch and they're five and eight forever.

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:56.959
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, But that's my point, like right now, you

0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 2>have to tread water.

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.640
<v Speaker 5>You have to maintain the status quot as far as

0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 5>you can win, you can lose, but you gotta kind

0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 5>of stay right there around five hundred to give yourself

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.920
<v Speaker 5>even a shot to reel off some in December when

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 5>you're at hopefully full strength.

0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:11.319
<v Speaker 6>You can't fall two games below five hundred at any

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.840
<v Speaker 6>point I don't think that's why this game is crucial.

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.720
<v Speaker 6>A game against Houston would be crucial. I mean, there's

0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.880
<v Speaker 6>you can't fall two games behind because then you're asking

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 6>your offense or you're asking a defense that doesn't have

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:23.920
<v Speaker 6>a lot of guys healthy to go win three straight

0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:25.599
<v Speaker 6>in December. That's that's tough thing to do.

0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.040
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you look at some of these teams you're

0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 5>gonna face. Houston now is without its top two wide

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.400
<v Speaker 5>receivers after losing Digs.

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.079
<v Speaker 2>So you got some teams that are having some issues

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 2>like you do. So you just got to take advantage

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 2>of it.

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:40.800
<v Speaker 3>It's so funny, absolutely, but that's what you exactly to say.

0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 2>But you got to. You gotta take advantage of.

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.600
<v Speaker 7>Every every time you look at a team you're about

0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 7>to play, it's like, man, they're really bad doing this,

0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 7>and then you look at it as a matchup for

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:51.080
<v Speaker 7>you maybe and then you're like, oh, damn, we're worse,

0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.719
<v Speaker 7>you know. I mean that's the problem is there's some

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.839
<v Speaker 7>things that the Orlando Falcons do defensively that that that

0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 7>most teams that would play them, that are hummel along

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 7>on offense would punish them. Yeah, you know with your situation.

0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:06.719
<v Speaker 7>You don't know if you can punish them for the

0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.679
<v Speaker 7>things that they do poorly. San Francisco is the same

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:11.960
<v Speaker 7>thing last week too. You did get in the red

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 7>zone and have some success last week, but you didn't

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 7>do anything else enough to take advantage of that.

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're gonna real quick.

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.959
<v Speaker 5>I also want to mention two other vets that popped

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 5>up on the injury report yesterday. Lynnville Joseph with a

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 5>back injury injury did not practice. Zach Martin with a

0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 5>shoulder injury did not practice. Are we hearing anything about that? Well,

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 5>there's more about the fact that you're just giving them

0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.720
<v Speaker 5>a little rest or they significant injuries.

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.440
<v Speaker 7>I've just kind of always with Zack Martin always feel

0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.440
<v Speaker 7>like that it's the rest day stuff. You know, they're

0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.480
<v Speaker 7>just they're finding ways to you know, but that's not

0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.280
<v Speaker 7>good offensive lineman with shoulder problems. It's never you know,

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.160
<v Speaker 7>lack of power. And we've seen some snaps, some reps

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 7>where Zach is you know, he hasn't had the best

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:54.439
<v Speaker 7>of power that you know, we've seen.

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:55.000
<v Speaker 3>From him in the past.

0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.880
<v Speaker 6>Felt very similar with Lindvall Joseph yesterday too. He was

0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 6>going through stretching and everything. During the media portion of practice,

0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 6>he just didn't have his helmet on, So I think

0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 6>it was more so arrests situation.

0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:05.199
<v Speaker 2>And that does but it does concern me.

0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 5>As Brian was saying, offensive line with shoulder, yeah, defensive

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.920
<v Speaker 5>tackle with back. That certainly doesn't make me feel good

0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 5>because on any given play, you can have six hundred

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.560
<v Speaker 5>pounds leaning on you. So I certainly won't feel good

0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 5>for his back. But we'll see how that progresses throughout

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.080
<v Speaker 5>the week. Let's take our first break, we'll come back.

0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.880
<v Speaker 5>Let's jump into this Atlanta defense and talk about some

0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.080
<v Speaker 5>of the areas where maybe the Cowboys can take advantage.

0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:26.680
<v Speaker 5>We'll be back Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:29.559
<v Speaker 10>Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.520
<v Speaker 10>cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.439
<v Speaker 10>online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.199
<v Speaker 10>faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:39.240
<v Speaker 5>an ode to Shannon. This segment brought to you by

0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 5>blockchain dot com. Ding. All right, we're all off the

0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.240
<v Speaker 5>rails here, all right, so let's let's talk about this

0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.640
<v Speaker 5>Atlanta defense. The first thing that pops out about them

0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:53.080
<v Speaker 5>as you start looking is they are dead last in

0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:55.920
<v Speaker 5>sacks in the NFL. They don't have six on the season,

0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:57.840
<v Speaker 5>their highest total for an individual.

0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:03.200
<v Speaker 6>I'm all tangled over here. I don't know if you're like.

0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Everyone.

0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:07.280
<v Speaker 6>I was trying to be nonchalant about it, but it's

0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:08.440
<v Speaker 6>not really working, you know.

0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.440
<v Speaker 5>He has the four box up. So everybody's just looking

0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:14.879
<v Speaker 5>dead at you. Great, yeah, sorry. So they have their

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.159
<v Speaker 5>their highest total for any individual players one and a

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:18.760
<v Speaker 5>half sacks. Like they don't have a lot of they

0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:20.880
<v Speaker 5>don't get a lot of production out of their their

0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 5>past rush. My question for you is if there is

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.720
<v Speaker 5>a player, one player that has a certain level of skill,

0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.120
<v Speaker 5>that this would be the week they could get going

0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:32.320
<v Speaker 5>and actually create some some pressure. Knowing that Dallas has

0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.760
<v Speaker 5>had its issues being able to protect, who would that player.

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 3>Bet it's gonna be Matthew Jerdon doesn't it it would

0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:38.600
<v Speaker 3>beat you don.

0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:42.160
<v Speaker 6>I also kind of look at Grady Jared Jared, Yeah,

0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.680
<v Speaker 6>Judn just doesn't feel comfortable there. Yeah, it doesn't feel

0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.080
<v Speaker 6>like he's the he's yeah, he's lost a step.

0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.840
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, Matthew. They traded for him from New England. Yeah,

0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.440
<v Speaker 7>And and Dallas has faced him before. If you remember,

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.560
<v Speaker 7>there was he was two years ago, maybe last year.

0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.200
<v Speaker 7>New End came here last year last year Dallas.

0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's right. And so Dallas did a nice job

0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:02.600
<v Speaker 3>of handling.

0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:04.760
<v Speaker 7>I think he got hurt in that game, matter of fact,

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.000
<v Speaker 7>for the season. Yeah, so that would be the one guy.

0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:10.359
<v Speaker 7>The thing with Matthew Greudondo if you watch him, and

0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:12.359
<v Speaker 7>I went back and watched because I was curious, like,

0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.800
<v Speaker 7>what's going on with this? Why is he why is

0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:19.120
<v Speaker 7>there the struggle you talk about how comfortable or lack

0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.080
<v Speaker 7>of He's getting double team more than any time.

0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:22.960
<v Speaker 3>He has in his career.

0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.680
<v Speaker 7>Because I went back and looked, I'm like, what's the deal?

0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:30.160
<v Speaker 7>They Atlanta, as you mentioned, doesn't have great pass rushers.

0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.920
<v Speaker 7>He's their best option. So teams have said, okay, let's

0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.879
<v Speaker 7>take their best option out of the game. And so

0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:40.640
<v Speaker 7>he's faced more double teams this year. Like I think

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:44.119
<v Speaker 7>the metrics said it was like ten percent, which is

0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:47.439
<v Speaker 7>the most hit he's faced since two.

0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:52.240
<v Speaker 3>Thousand and eighteen. So how about that delivery?

0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:52.479
<v Speaker 5>Right?

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:57.000
<v Speaker 3>There was votes Fossil came in and dropped Alpson to

0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:57.520
<v Speaker 3>bring it in.

0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 6>But I don't even know what it was.

0:18:59.000 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 3>I think that was Chris.

0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:01.639
<v Speaker 4>Aren't okay?

0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:03.080
<v Speaker 8>Everything on here is okay?

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:08.879
<v Speaker 2>Everything in here? I assume everything is approved. I think, no,

0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:09.879
<v Speaker 2>it's all approved.

0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 3>It's okay. Here we go, Mars company. We love the

0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:16.160
<v Speaker 3>Mars Company.

0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Everything go ahead, right, I enjoy your report?

0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.639
<v Speaker 6>So the what I enjoyed your report?

0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:24.119
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Uh Turner Mike now.

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.200
<v Speaker 7>But the yeah, so what's happening is more double teams

0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:34.400
<v Speaker 7>his direction because they don't have somebody opposite. This might

0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:38.240
<v Speaker 7>be the first time that that uh Tyler guid gets

0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.760
<v Speaker 7>to play against a guy that he's equal to or

0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:43.879
<v Speaker 7>or maybe a little bit better. This is it's so

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:45.919
<v Speaker 7>we take into a week nine, but maybe we got

0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:48.639
<v Speaker 7>a guy here that will be good for him to

0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:49.280
<v Speaker 7>be able to handle.

0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:50.920
<v Speaker 5>And you know, that's actually one of the questions I

0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:52.800
<v Speaker 5>have for you guys, like looking at this and how

0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:55.200
<v Speaker 5>poor they are when it comes to the pass rush.

0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.800
<v Speaker 5>Really what I think and I've made it no, I mean,

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:00.959
<v Speaker 5>it's been very clear that I feel like the biggest

0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:03.840
<v Speaker 5>problem the Cowboys offense has is their offensive line and

0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:07.120
<v Speaker 5>their ability to consistently protect Dak. Is this a week

0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 5>where maybe the offense now can really get going because

0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:12.480
<v Speaker 5>as you just said, like there are actual guys on

0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:15.120
<v Speaker 5>the other side that they can actually block that will

0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:17.440
<v Speaker 5>give Dak time. Now Dak can maybe do all the

0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:19.080
<v Speaker 5>things that this offense wants him to do.

0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:21.280
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, this is an opportunity. I'm covering my mouth because

0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:22.919
<v Speaker 6>I don't have a water to watch down this chocolate

0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:26.359
<v Speaker 6>that I just say I think this is an opportunity

0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:28.240
<v Speaker 6>for Dak to be able to really get this passing

0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:31.240
<v Speaker 6>game going. And I've said it before, but I'm standing

0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:32.520
<v Speaker 6>on it this week. I think this is going to

0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:34.600
<v Speaker 6>be a shootout because I think this passing offense is

0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:36.720
<v Speaker 6>going to get going. There might be some opportunities in

0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 6>the run game that we'll dive into here in a bit,

0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 6>but in the past game specifically, I think they can

0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 6>get multiple weapons involved. I'm looking at Jake Ferguson after

0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:45.840
<v Speaker 6>the week that Kate Otten had last week. I'm looking

0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:48.399
<v Speaker 6>at Jalen Tolbert just because I think he can be

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.320
<v Speaker 6>able to get open on some opportunities CD in the

0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:54.240
<v Speaker 6>slot specifically, I don't necessarily like him on the outside

0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:57.080
<v Speaker 6>in this game. A guy like aj Terrell, we've got

0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.080
<v Speaker 6>a little bit more physicality. I want him to be

0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:00.800
<v Speaker 6>able to isolate his beat and get out in the

0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:01.920
<v Speaker 6>get out in the open field.

0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he needs to attack d Alford in this game.

0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:05.480
<v Speaker 3>The Alfred is their nickel.

0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:09.560
<v Speaker 7>And if you watch the Kansas City game, ten targets,

0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 7>ten receptions and Kansas City's got you know, Kansas got

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:15.359
<v Speaker 7>Rice and this before he got hurt. But you know

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:17.800
<v Speaker 7>they they have guys that can run, and they have

0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:20.920
<v Speaker 7>guys that can play well on the slot and the

0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:24.000
<v Speaker 7>Alford all year long, teams have gone after him a

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:26.680
<v Speaker 7>little bit. Now we'll say this about when you when

0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:29.720
<v Speaker 7>you look at Terrell, Terrell and Lamb have played against

0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:33.320
<v Speaker 7>each other twice and you're thinking, oh, man, he carried

0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:33.639
<v Speaker 7>him all.

0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:34.879
<v Speaker 3>No, he there was.

0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:38.720
<v Speaker 7>I think there was only like five times where because

0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:43.000
<v Speaker 7>usually Tarot in the old regime, the old coaching staff

0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:48.359
<v Speaker 7>of the Smith regime, they kept him on the left side,

0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:51.680
<v Speaker 7>and the Cowboys took Lamb and took him.

0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:54.440
<v Speaker 3>Put him away from Terrell and with the other way.

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:58.159
<v Speaker 7>So CD has had some success against the Falcons in

0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:01.680
<v Speaker 7>two games, but the but it hasn't gone against Terrell.

0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:04.440
<v Speaker 7>He was always playing left side. But well now they're

0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:08.480
<v Speaker 7>poking in. But see now that yeah, that's he's always

0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:11.320
<v Speaker 7>getting in your way. But the thing about with Terrell

0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:14.440
<v Speaker 7>now is he plays both sides, so you're gonna see

0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:18.280
<v Speaker 7>him well, yeah, he plays left and right. I mean

0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:20.639
<v Speaker 7>almost fifty to fifty on how he plays.

0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:23.359
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I guess the question I'm asking is do they

0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:25.800
<v Speaker 5>indiscriminately move him around in their scheme or is it

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:28.320
<v Speaker 5>more about I'm gonna take this guy and wherever he goes,

0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:29.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm going with him.

0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:31.280
<v Speaker 3>They move him around, they move him around the scheme.

0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:34.320
<v Speaker 7>Now, maybe the way to get away with this, Like

0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:37.280
<v Speaker 7>I said, maybe think about playing him more than the slot,

0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:42.240
<v Speaker 7>because every time I watched these games, Alford was playing

0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:42.760
<v Speaker 7>in the slot.

0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:44.600
<v Speaker 2>So Terrell doesn't move into the He didn't move in

0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:44.960
<v Speaker 2>the slot.

0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:47.000
<v Speaker 3>He wasn't moving the slot. The games I watched they

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:47.720
<v Speaker 3>went with Alford.

0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:51.399
<v Speaker 7>There now could be a situation, you know, team's like, hey,

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:54.080
<v Speaker 7>our best chance, we're not going to get pass rush.

0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:58.000
<v Speaker 7>Our best chance is to just travel Teroll with and

0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:01.760
<v Speaker 7>see what happens. Yeah, this team plays a ton of

0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:05.760
<v Speaker 7>zone coverage. Okay, but they also play a lot of

0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 7>off coverage. Did you see any of the Yeah, okay,

0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:12.399
<v Speaker 7>take a guess who your best off coverage receiver is.

0:23:12.520 --> 0:23:14.560
<v Speaker 7>If you look at just the metric side of things,

0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:19.119
<v Speaker 7>if teams are going to play off your receiver, who's

0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:22.240
<v Speaker 7>the cowboy receiver that has the most success against off coverage?

0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:25.200
<v Speaker 6>I would have to assume CD No, Jalenbert, Tolbert. Yeah.

0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:26.320
<v Speaker 2>I was actually gonna mention Tulbert.

0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:29.760
<v Speaker 7>It's got seventeen receptions, which leads the team in off coverage.

0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:33.200
<v Speaker 7>So if they're gonna play zone, which they play eighty

0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:35.440
<v Speaker 7>percent of the time, you can watch a play and

0:23:35.520 --> 0:23:38.719
<v Speaker 7>you're like going zone, zone, zone, and then you look

0:23:38.760 --> 0:23:42.080
<v Speaker 7>at the metrics side of things, eighty percent. They used

0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:45.000
<v Speaker 7>to be very man heavy, like almost fifty to fifty

0:23:45.080 --> 0:23:48.560
<v Speaker 7>man heavy last year under the old regime. Now they

0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:51.119
<v Speaker 7>play far more zone. They got no pass rush and

0:23:51.119 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 7>they're playing zone.

0:23:52.320 --> 0:23:55.960
<v Speaker 3>This is dangerous. This is a very dangerous situation for

0:23:56.080 --> 0:23:57.119
<v Speaker 3>them to have to deal with.

0:23:57.680 --> 0:23:59.920
<v Speaker 7>But that's what they believe in. That's how they play it.

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:01.800
<v Speaker 7>They're not going to sit there and try and blitche

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:04.000
<v Speaker 7>you in all those things. They're going to try and

0:24:04.240 --> 0:24:06.040
<v Speaker 7>see if they can hold up and not give up

0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:06.639
<v Speaker 7>big plays.

0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:08.200
<v Speaker 6>From my notes here, it felt like the only time

0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:10.320
<v Speaker 6>that they ran man on a consistent basis was in

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:12.320
<v Speaker 6>second and third and long situations.

0:24:12.480 --> 0:24:16.359
<v Speaker 3>There you go, there you go. So yeah, that's to me.

0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:19.240
<v Speaker 7>To me, the guy I go after, like I say,

0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:23.960
<v Speaker 7>try and make sure you secure Judawn the edge and

0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:26.640
<v Speaker 7>then make sure then you try and get as many

0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:30.159
<v Speaker 7>guys on all For number twenty, the Nickel, he's the

0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:32.879
<v Speaker 7>guy that seems to have when they run routes on

0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:35.800
<v Speaker 7>him the most separation, you know, even when they care

0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:38.240
<v Speaker 7>and he has to carry guys you see breaking routes.

0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:40.240
<v Speaker 3>He's kind of in your trail position right there.

0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:42.639
<v Speaker 5>Who is the best person Let's assume for a second

0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:44.880
<v Speaker 5>they're going to travel trail and they're going to travel

0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:46.879
<v Speaker 5>him everywhere. Let's say that they're going to run him

0:24:46.880 --> 0:24:49.680
<v Speaker 5>into the slot as well. Who is the next best

0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 5>person that Dallas could run out and put in the

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:55.040
<v Speaker 5>slot in situations and still get the production if you're

0:24:55.040 --> 0:24:57.440
<v Speaker 5>trying to get them matched up with with that their

0:24:57.520 --> 0:24:58.320
<v Speaker 5>nickel corner, you.

0:24:58.320 --> 0:25:00.520
<v Speaker 6>Feel confidence Hulbert in the slot because I don't.

0:25:00.600 --> 0:25:04.000
<v Speaker 7>I don't I would put I put Turpin in there

0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:07.520
<v Speaker 7>and just go because I think that Alford has had

0:25:07.560 --> 0:25:09.000
<v Speaker 7>some problems with Kansas City.

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:12.960
<v Speaker 3>He had the problems with speed inside and quickness inside.

0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:15.680
<v Speaker 7>You know, I was watching that game. I'm like, gosh, dang,

0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:17.479
<v Speaker 7>he's given up. Every time they throw at him, he's

0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:18.879
<v Speaker 7>given up. And I went back and looked at the

0:25:19.000 --> 0:25:22.440
<v Speaker 7>numbers ten for ten. You're like, going, Okay, here we go.

0:25:22.720 --> 0:25:24.960
<v Speaker 7>That's what we got to do here. So yeah, I'm

0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:27.000
<v Speaker 7>kind of I'm kind of in that mode right now

0:25:27.040 --> 0:25:31.359
<v Speaker 7>where I would definitely I would think about putting I

0:25:31.440 --> 0:25:34.400
<v Speaker 7>think about putting turpin inside on that in that situation.

0:25:34.800 --> 0:25:37.440
<v Speaker 6>Alford on the season has allowed thirty five receptions on

0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:40.240
<v Speaker 6>forty five targets for two hundred and eighty four yards.

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:43.120
<v Speaker 7>So three touchdowns I believe too. I think I looked

0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 7>at that. Yeah, no picks, three touchdowns.

0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:48.280
<v Speaker 6>Not necessarily a lot of yards per attempt, but kind

0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:51.680
<v Speaker 6>of granted, given the nature of his position, he shouldn't

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:54.440
<v Speaker 6>be given up the play, but he still gives a

0:25:54.720 --> 0:25:56.080
<v Speaker 6>healthy amount of yards up per game.

0:25:56.480 --> 0:25:59.359
<v Speaker 5>Run defense, what do they look like? Is that an

0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:02.520
<v Speaker 5>opportunity for the Cowboys or where is there's the opportunity?

0:26:02.960 --> 0:26:06.360
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and how confident do you feel in this offensive

0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:10.880
<v Speaker 6>line being able to pull consistently to bring polers around,

0:26:10.960 --> 0:26:13.800
<v Speaker 6>run counters, things of that nature depend It depends on

0:26:13.840 --> 0:26:17.520
<v Speaker 6>who's pulling. But I saw things against Tampa Bay where

0:26:17.560 --> 0:26:19.919
<v Speaker 6>Tampa Bay's offensive line, Granted they had Tristan Wurz at

0:26:19.960 --> 0:26:22.199
<v Speaker 6>left tackles, it's a little bit different, but they were

0:26:22.240 --> 0:26:25.080
<v Speaker 6>pulling guys to the right side and Bucky Ring Rashod White,

0:26:25.119 --> 0:26:27.480
<v Speaker 6>those guys were able to find holes and they weren't

0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:29.160
<v Speaker 6>really having to make guys miss until four or five

0:26:29.200 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 6>yards down the field. So I think if they can

0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:34.720
<v Speaker 6>try to lane on these pollers a little bit early

0:26:34.800 --> 0:26:36.159
<v Speaker 6>in the run game, I think there might be an

0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:40.960
<v Speaker 6>opportunity there at the first two levels of for the Falcons.

0:26:41.040 --> 0:26:43.520
<v Speaker 6>They just could not find consistency in that game against

0:26:43.520 --> 0:26:46.359
<v Speaker 6>the Buccaneers. It was tough for both of those levels.

0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:48.400
<v Speaker 5>I think there are two guys on the offensive line

0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:52.479
<v Speaker 5>that I feel good about pulling, Tyler Smith and and Bebie.

0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:55.320
<v Speaker 5>Those are the two I feel comfortable pulling. I think

0:26:55.520 --> 0:26:57.560
<v Speaker 5>Zach Martin getting him out of space. I just it

0:26:57.680 --> 0:26:59.680
<v Speaker 5>looks like there was a play last week where he

0:26:59.840 --> 0:27:01.600
<v Speaker 5>was kind of run out. He was just he couldn't

0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:04.360
<v Speaker 5>get to the sounder guy coming up. It just it's

0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 5>just like it's it looks like he's laboring out there

0:27:07.240 --> 0:27:08.960
<v Speaker 5>to try to get in position to make a block,

0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:10.720
<v Speaker 5>and I just think that's not not going to help you.

0:27:11.160 --> 0:27:13.359
<v Speaker 7>Something that I just looked up in just because of

0:27:13.440 --> 0:27:16.200
<v Speaker 7>the question you brought up or the point you brought up, Nick,

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:21.639
<v Speaker 7>Because Dallas had their best success with Elliott running against

0:27:21.680 --> 0:27:25.399
<v Speaker 7>that light box, which is six or less, Falcons are

0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:28.280
<v Speaker 7>going to play light box six or fewer defenders fifty

0:27:28.320 --> 0:27:29.439
<v Speaker 7>three percent of the snaps.

0:27:29.520 --> 0:27:31.240
<v Speaker 3>That's eighth most in the league right now.

0:27:32.160 --> 0:27:33.719
<v Speaker 7>So if they're going to be committed, if they're going

0:27:33.760 --> 0:27:35.680
<v Speaker 7>to say, Okay, we're going to play six defenders and

0:27:35.800 --> 0:27:39.919
<v Speaker 7>try and handle everything else on the back end, Dallas

0:27:39.960 --> 0:27:41.720
<v Speaker 7>has had some success running against that.

0:27:41.720 --> 0:27:42.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean, yeah, it was.

0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:46.239
<v Speaker 7>It's fleeting at times, it really really is. But at

0:27:46.320 --> 0:27:48.520
<v Speaker 7>least that's the one thing last week when you look

0:27:48.560 --> 0:27:51.840
<v Speaker 7>at San Francisco that the runs that like of the

0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:54.960
<v Speaker 7>of the of the positive runs four yards or more

0:27:55.560 --> 0:27:58.360
<v Speaker 7>that of I think the ten carries, half of them

0:27:58.400 --> 0:28:00.679
<v Speaker 7>for Zeke were four yards or more. Yep, they were

0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:01.639
<v Speaker 7>against slight box.

0:28:01.920 --> 0:28:05.040
<v Speaker 3>So maybe maybe that might be an avenue for you there.

0:28:05.160 --> 0:28:06.719
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna take our final break when we come back.

0:28:06.720 --> 0:28:08.600
<v Speaker 5>I want to dive a little deeper into that conversation

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:11.399
<v Speaker 5>because I went back and watched the runs in that

0:28:11.520 --> 0:28:13.800
<v Speaker 5>game last week, and I want to want to ask

0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:15.520
<v Speaker 5>you guys a little bit about number one, how you

0:28:15.600 --> 0:28:18.880
<v Speaker 5>assess Dalvin Cook's play, but number two, talk a little

0:28:18.880 --> 0:28:20.680
<v Speaker 5>bit about what Zeke was able to do last week,

0:28:20.720 --> 0:28:23.200
<v Speaker 5>because I don't know if that's getting enough attention that

0:28:23.280 --> 0:28:25.119
<v Speaker 5>he can get a lot of opportunities, but the opportunities

0:28:25.119 --> 0:28:27.119
<v Speaker 5>he got. I want to get your opinions on how

0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:38.160
<v Speaker 10>online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

0:30:38.240 --> 0:30:40.920
<v Speaker 10>faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

0:30:46.120 --> 0:30:48.240
<v Speaker 10>learned the best thing to do is stop running and

0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:34.720
<v Speaker 8>While Brian was doing his breakdown, I was just I

0:31:34.920 --> 0:31:37.160
<v Speaker 8>was thinking should I eat the candy or just wait

0:31:37.240 --> 0:31:40.360
<v Speaker 8>to have my lunch? Like, I was just thinking about food.

0:31:40.840 --> 0:31:43.600
<v Speaker 8>And then also I was thinking, which I wanted to ask,

0:31:45.080 --> 0:31:47.920
<v Speaker 8>what do you know the average for the time of

0:31:48.040 --> 0:31:51.080
<v Speaker 8>possession that the Falcons offense tend to have.

0:31:51.400 --> 0:31:53.200
<v Speaker 6>I will say they've only won the time of possession

0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:56.080
<v Speaker 6>battle twice and they're won and one in those games.

0:31:56.280 --> 0:31:57.920
<v Speaker 6>So factor that for what you will.

0:31:58.040 --> 0:32:00.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, okay, all right, let's talk about the running game

0:32:00.920 --> 0:32:02.880
<v Speaker 5>for the Cowboys. I want to go a little, a

0:32:02.920 --> 0:32:07.840
<v Speaker 5>little farther into that conversation. This These spiderwebs are killing

0:32:07.880 --> 0:32:08.240
<v Speaker 5>you guys.

0:32:08.440 --> 0:32:08.760
<v Speaker 3>All right.

0:32:09.480 --> 0:32:11.640
<v Speaker 5>First of all, give me an assessment on Dalvin Cook

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:13.920
<v Speaker 5>from last week. He only had six carries, But of

0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:16.000
<v Speaker 5>those six carries, what did you see from him? Was

0:32:16.000 --> 0:32:18.240
<v Speaker 5>there something you like? Was there something that was like, Eh,

0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:21.000
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, just what was your assessment of his

0:32:21.080 --> 0:32:21.720
<v Speaker 5>play last.

0:32:21.640 --> 0:32:23.520
<v Speaker 6>It kind of reminded me of the opportunities that Douce

0:32:23.520 --> 0:32:25.560
<v Speaker 6>Fawn has had this year, where it's just like, Okay,

0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:27.760
<v Speaker 6>he didn't really have a lot of protection, so you know,

0:32:27.840 --> 0:32:30.080
<v Speaker 6>it is what it is. I loved the ten twelve

0:32:30.160 --> 0:32:33.560
<v Speaker 6>yard reception he had to his first touch over the middle.

0:32:33.840 --> 0:32:35.440
<v Speaker 6>That was that was something I was like, okay, yeah,

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:37.479
<v Speaker 6>hey bringing that and you know we can we can

0:32:37.520 --> 0:32:40.160
<v Speaker 6>get active with him. But as far as the run game,

0:32:40.160 --> 0:32:42.240
<v Speaker 6>I don't think there was really any positives to take away.

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:44.040
<v Speaker 6>But I don't think there was necessarily any negatives to

0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:48.160
<v Speaker 6>take away from Dwin's perspective. It was just a product

0:32:48.240 --> 0:32:50.760
<v Speaker 6>of that protection unit not having its best game in

0:32:50.840 --> 0:32:51.320
<v Speaker 6>the run game.

0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:53.360
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think the running game, you know, we start

0:32:53.400 --> 0:32:56.280
<v Speaker 7>to talk about, you know, try and point your finger

0:32:56.320 --> 0:32:58.640
<v Speaker 7>at something. Is it the backs is that they're really

0:32:58.680 --> 0:33:02.440
<v Speaker 7>struggling blocking piece body. Yeah, yeah, they're they're they're struggling

0:33:02.480 --> 0:33:05.000
<v Speaker 7>blocking people and they're you know, they finally when they

0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:08.200
<v Speaker 7>have gotten guys up on second level, it's been fine.

0:33:08.600 --> 0:33:11.240
<v Speaker 3>When they don't, it's I don't I don't know how

0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:14.040
<v Speaker 3>you can have a running play and not block Fred Warner.

0:33:14.480 --> 0:33:15.840
<v Speaker 3>I just don't. I don't know.

0:33:16.040 --> 0:33:18.880
<v Speaker 7>I mean, I'm I'm thinking if okay, we're gonna call

0:33:18.920 --> 0:33:21.160
<v Speaker 7>a running play and we're gonna gonna block Fred Fred

0:33:21.280 --> 0:33:22.320
<v Speaker 7>Warner on this play, What do you.

0:33:22.280 --> 0:33:23.200
<v Speaker 3>Think the game's gonna be.

0:33:23.760 --> 0:33:25.920
<v Speaker 7>I'm gonna say it's probably gonna be a zero or

0:33:26.000 --> 0:33:29.160
<v Speaker 7>negative play. And you know that's what happens to you.

0:33:29.400 --> 0:33:32.800
<v Speaker 7>You and they don't run all that much, and then

0:33:32.800 --> 0:33:36.840
<v Speaker 7>when they don't block the best run defender, now you're questioning, like, well,

0:33:36.880 --> 0:33:38.000
<v Speaker 7>why run it all if you're.

0:33:37.880 --> 0:33:39.040
<v Speaker 3>Not going to block the best guy?

0:33:39.600 --> 0:33:39.760
<v Speaker 6>You know.

0:33:40.000 --> 0:33:42.560
<v Speaker 3>So I don't think it's.

0:33:42.440 --> 0:33:44.479
<v Speaker 7>Probably something they didn't go into the game thinking they

0:33:44.520 --> 0:33:47.120
<v Speaker 7>weren't gonna block him. Something happens, they don't get up,

0:33:47.200 --> 0:33:52.120
<v Speaker 7>you know, so it's hard to evaluate where they're at.

0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:55.520
<v Speaker 7>I like what Nick's talking about with some poll stuff though.

0:33:56.080 --> 0:33:59.120
<v Speaker 7>You know, I'm liking that because I think that, like

0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:02.440
<v Speaker 7>you get Smith out there and poll in space, I

0:34:02.520 --> 0:34:04.880
<v Speaker 7>think that that's not a bad thing out there. You know,

0:34:05.280 --> 0:34:07.680
<v Speaker 7>you get some angle blocks, you get some guys coming down.

0:34:07.720 --> 0:34:09.560
<v Speaker 7>We talk about Member Arizona and we did the pen

0:34:09.640 --> 0:34:12.080
<v Speaker 7>and poll stuff. You could, you could a lot of

0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:14.000
<v Speaker 7>teams are doing that. A lot of you can gash

0:34:14.120 --> 0:34:14.960
<v Speaker 7>some people doing.

0:34:14.840 --> 0:34:17.279
<v Speaker 3>That pen and poll stuff. Get the ball to the edge.

0:34:17.360 --> 0:34:20.239
<v Speaker 7>You know, Dallas is not a great edge rushing team.

0:34:20.320 --> 0:34:23.959
<v Speaker 7>Everything kind of comes downhill and then cuts. So maybe

0:34:24.000 --> 0:34:27.560
<v Speaker 7>they don't have unless they unless you put somebody in

0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:30.120
<v Speaker 7>the backfield like Turpin and go Pin and poll, or

0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:32.560
<v Speaker 7>put somebody in the back of CD. Somebody it's got

0:34:32.600 --> 0:34:34.640
<v Speaker 7>a little bit more explosive, this is a little bit

0:34:34.680 --> 0:34:37.719
<v Speaker 7>more quickness, you know, then I would think that that

0:34:37.840 --> 0:34:39.719
<v Speaker 7>would be something that I would be a little bit

0:34:39.719 --> 0:34:40.400
<v Speaker 7>more interested in.

0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:44.640
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I'm being very negative right now, and not even

0:34:44.680 --> 0:34:47.200
<v Speaker 8>the candy and not even the candies helping my mind,

0:34:47.440 --> 0:34:50.000
<v Speaker 8>because everything is just like, Okay, I like what you're

0:34:50.040 --> 0:34:53.680
<v Speaker 8>saying about this matchup, and like it favors the Cowboys

0:34:53.760 --> 0:34:57.359
<v Speaker 8>offense a lot more and somebody. But at the same time,

0:34:57.440 --> 0:35:00.480
<v Speaker 8>I think, okay, what if it's the other way around

0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:03.120
<v Speaker 8>to where maybe this is the time that they make

0:35:03.600 --> 0:35:05.200
<v Speaker 8>their defense look good.

0:35:05.480 --> 0:35:05.680
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:35:05.840 --> 0:35:07.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's always, yeah, there's goodwill games.

0:35:08.440 --> 0:35:10.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they probably look at this game and they're like,

0:35:10.320 --> 0:35:13.040
<v Speaker 5>our pass rush might be able to get That's exactly.

0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:16.080
<v Speaker 2>There's there's a flip side to everything, absolutely, So.

0:35:16.120 --> 0:35:17.719
<v Speaker 8>It's hard to get away from that because even the

0:35:18.080 --> 0:35:20.520
<v Speaker 8>and we've talked about it, everybody knows already on here,

0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:26.640
<v Speaker 8>like the games that they've won. Even then, the Cowboys

0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:30.320
<v Speaker 8>offense has been struggling all throughout the season. Even in wins,

0:35:30.480 --> 0:35:34.719
<v Speaker 8>they just don't make a few serious and that are

0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:35.880
<v Speaker 8>really really good.

0:35:35.840 --> 0:35:37.120
<v Speaker 6>And then it just disappears.

0:35:37.200 --> 0:35:39.359
<v Speaker 8>And then so you I feel like you see maybe

0:35:39.640 --> 0:35:42.319
<v Speaker 8>two series in a game where they're really good and like, Okay,

0:35:42.480 --> 0:35:44.719
<v Speaker 8>that's what you gotta do, and then it just goes away.

0:35:44.800 --> 0:35:47.480
<v Speaker 8>So it's just one of those things that it's hard

0:35:47.560 --> 0:35:50.760
<v Speaker 8>to even see the matchup being favorable for the Cowboys

0:35:50.840 --> 0:35:51.280
<v Speaker 8>this weekend.

0:35:52.160 --> 0:35:54.400
<v Speaker 6>I think more often than not, this is something that

0:35:54.480 --> 0:35:56.840
<v Speaker 6>I just feel like might not happen for the Cowboys.

0:35:57.320 --> 0:36:00.399
<v Speaker 6>Pulling guards. If we're talking about that pulling guys gap

0:36:00.480 --> 0:36:03.120
<v Speaker 6>scheme runs. They only ran two against the forty nine ers,

0:36:03.239 --> 0:36:05.000
<v Speaker 6>and if you're pulling guys nine times out of ten,

0:36:05.040 --> 0:36:07.040
<v Speaker 6>that's gonna be a gap scheme type run. So it's like,

0:36:07.760 --> 0:36:10.360
<v Speaker 6>if you want to isolate Dalvin Cook on the outside,

0:36:10.400 --> 0:36:12.719
<v Speaker 6>which the coaches have talked about, they want to get

0:36:12.760 --> 0:36:15.360
<v Speaker 6>him out on the outside into space, why don't you

0:36:15.400 --> 0:36:17.319
<v Speaker 6>pull some guys to help kind of pave that way

0:36:17.480 --> 0:36:19.880
<v Speaker 6>and assign them to defenders rather than you know, just

0:36:20.040 --> 0:36:22.680
<v Speaker 6>areas of the field. Because I feel like I feel

0:36:22.680 --> 0:36:25.080
<v Speaker 6>like there's a little bit too much guessing going on

0:36:25.200 --> 0:36:28.040
<v Speaker 6>at things in the run game. From the protection perspective.

0:36:27.760 --> 0:36:29.480
<v Speaker 3>They to be honest with you, they might not have

0:36:29.600 --> 0:36:32.839
<v Speaker 3>confidence in the point of attack. Tight end blocks, Yeah,

0:36:33.160 --> 0:36:34.799
<v Speaker 3>that was actually real.

0:36:35.320 --> 0:36:38.160
<v Speaker 5>I was watching the runs in this last game and

0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:40.279
<v Speaker 5>one of the big things that kept popping up. Now,

0:36:40.600 --> 0:36:42.840
<v Speaker 5>part of it was they were putting tight ends in

0:36:42.880 --> 0:36:45.200
<v Speaker 5>situations where they were having to block Bosa one on one.

0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:47.920
<v Speaker 5>They ain't gonna win that. I'm just gonna say, you know,

0:36:48.000 --> 0:36:50.319
<v Speaker 5>you're not gonna win that. But but I do think

0:36:50.400 --> 0:36:52.279
<v Speaker 5>that was a and you talk about it all the

0:36:52.320 --> 0:36:55.000
<v Speaker 5>time this too, Brian. The wide receivers they aren't great

0:36:55.040 --> 0:36:57.520
<v Speaker 5>blockers either, and so you start thinking about it from

0:36:57.520 --> 0:37:00.640
<v Speaker 5>that standpoint, like there's just there's so much, there's so

0:37:00.800 --> 0:37:03.320
<v Speaker 5>much to go around when it comes to missing blocks

0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:05.799
<v Speaker 5>in the run game, it's really across the board.

0:37:06.440 --> 0:37:10.719
<v Speaker 7>The receivers have problems blocking because of the I think

0:37:10.800 --> 0:37:12.280
<v Speaker 7>because of the width of the offense.

0:37:12.960 --> 0:37:14.960
<v Speaker 3>That's something they can't get there. Yeah, there's something.

0:37:15.280 --> 0:37:18.200
<v Speaker 7>I'm watching these teams that run the ball well, and

0:37:18.320 --> 0:37:20.240
<v Speaker 7>a lot of them do it out of condensed looks.

0:37:20.760 --> 0:37:23.520
<v Speaker 7>They do it where they play they're twenty yards across

0:37:23.880 --> 0:37:26.759
<v Speaker 7>and they're not twenty seven yards across and trying to

0:37:26.880 --> 0:37:29.839
<v Speaker 7>get you know, trying to get a receiver to make

0:37:29.880 --> 0:37:33.040
<v Speaker 7>a cutoff block. A lot of teams just play condensed.

0:37:33.040 --> 0:37:35.520
<v Speaker 7>They're like, we're going to run the ball, we're gonna

0:37:35.560 --> 0:37:37.279
<v Speaker 7>make sure a guy's get in position, or we're going

0:37:37.320 --> 0:37:40.120
<v Speaker 7>to bring an extra blocker over with motion. You know,

0:37:40.200 --> 0:37:43.680
<v Speaker 7>I watched, I say, I'm watching the Tampa Atlanta game.

0:37:44.200 --> 0:37:47.359
<v Speaker 7>I'm watching Atlanta's defense. I'm watching Tampa bring a guy

0:37:47.440 --> 0:37:50.320
<v Speaker 7>in motion. As they're bringing in motion, they snap the

0:37:50.400 --> 0:37:52.320
<v Speaker 7>ball and he goes and blocks and they throw a

0:37:52.480 --> 0:37:55.320
<v Speaker 7>swing to the back. But they got a blocker in

0:37:55.520 --> 0:37:58.000
<v Speaker 7>motion going up the field. It's not just throw the

0:37:58.080 --> 0:38:02.160
<v Speaker 7>swing and hope they miss. They've dedicated a guy moving

0:38:02.200 --> 0:38:05.439
<v Speaker 7>across the formation to be a kickout block. Then once

0:38:05.520 --> 0:38:07.880
<v Speaker 7>they catch the ball, then they just go up the field.

0:38:08.320 --> 0:38:10.279
<v Speaker 7>So it's not like, Okay, catch it and make a

0:38:10.360 --> 0:38:13.440
<v Speaker 7>guy miss. No, we're going to block that guy and

0:38:13.520 --> 0:38:15.719
<v Speaker 7>we're gonna make you have to make the second guy miss.

0:38:16.360 --> 0:38:16.560
<v Speaker 6>You know.

0:38:16.800 --> 0:38:18.520
<v Speaker 3>That's that's the things you got to think about it.

0:38:18.520 --> 0:38:21.440
<v Speaker 5>And that's just so people understand when you're talking about condensed, condensed,

0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:23.160
<v Speaker 5>and then think one of the big things when you

0:38:23.280 --> 0:38:25.160
<v Speaker 5>when you're out wide, you think about it. You gotta

0:38:25.320 --> 0:38:28.280
<v Speaker 5>Let's say a cornerback is out he split five yards

0:38:28.360 --> 0:38:30.480
<v Speaker 5>from the from the tackle or from the tight end,

0:38:30.920 --> 0:38:33.320
<v Speaker 5>and and in that situation, he's got a guy across

0:38:33.360 --> 0:38:33.719
<v Speaker 5>from him.

0:38:33.960 --> 0:38:36.359
<v Speaker 2>If that guy goes screaming down to what the run

0:38:36.400 --> 0:38:37.800
<v Speaker 2>are going to stop, you can't get to it.

0:38:37.920 --> 0:38:38.239
<v Speaker 3>You can't.

0:38:38.280 --> 0:38:41.200
<v Speaker 5>Now, if you're compressed, which means you're condensed, you're closer

0:38:41.239 --> 0:38:44.040
<v Speaker 5>to that tackle or that that end than what you're

0:38:44.040 --> 0:38:45.600
<v Speaker 5>able to do is now you just get in a way.

0:38:45.760 --> 0:38:47.080
<v Speaker 5>You have to be a great blocker. You just can

0:38:47.280 --> 0:38:48.920
<v Speaker 5>get in the way, kind of shield a little bit.

0:38:49.080 --> 0:38:51.120
<v Speaker 5>It gives the running back and opportunity to get around

0:38:51.160 --> 0:38:52.920
<v Speaker 5>you and be able to make the run. So that's

0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:55.200
<v Speaker 5>what you're talking about there, And yeah, how you how

0:38:55.280 --> 0:38:57.080
<v Speaker 5>you make it easier for your wide receivers.

0:38:57.120 --> 0:38:59.680
<v Speaker 7>The best condensed teams in the league are San Francisco,

0:38:59.800 --> 0:39:03.759
<v Speaker 7>the Rams, the Dolphins. You know, they all share that

0:39:04.040 --> 0:39:07.160
<v Speaker 7>where they they everythinks it's great to spread everybody out

0:39:07.280 --> 0:39:09.279
<v Speaker 7>until you have to block. Yep, and then when you

0:39:09.400 --> 0:39:11.840
<v Speaker 7>have to when and then if your guys aren't you

0:39:11.920 --> 0:39:14.680
<v Speaker 7>know hinz Ward come flying down there and blow people

0:39:14.760 --> 0:39:17.239
<v Speaker 7>up kind of receivers, then you're going to have a

0:39:17.280 --> 0:39:18.360
<v Speaker 7>lot of miss blocks.

0:39:18.560 --> 0:39:21.560
<v Speaker 5>Yep, absolutely all right, So right now, based on what

0:39:21.680 --> 0:39:23.480
<v Speaker 5>you saw this last week, and maybe you didn't see

0:39:23.520 --> 0:39:25.880
<v Speaker 5>enough to change it, but how would you utilize your

0:39:25.920 --> 0:39:29.160
<v Speaker 5>running backs going into this next game? If you had

0:39:29.239 --> 0:39:31.359
<v Speaker 5>to say, I'm going to give this guy this number

0:39:31.360 --> 0:39:33.040
<v Speaker 5>of carries, this guy this number carries, this guy this

0:39:33.120 --> 0:39:35.120
<v Speaker 5>number of carries, how would you how would you split

0:39:35.239 --> 0:39:35.520
<v Speaker 5>that up?

0:39:35.880 --> 0:39:36.040
<v Speaker 13>Oh?

0:39:36.239 --> 0:39:39.480
<v Speaker 6>Man? I if I want to see what Dalvin has

0:39:39.520 --> 0:39:43.400
<v Speaker 6>in a healthy opportunity, I mean trade deadline is next Tuesday.

0:39:43.440 --> 0:39:45.759
<v Speaker 6>If they are actually if they are thinking in the

0:39:45.800 --> 0:39:47.840
<v Speaker 6>back of their mind to make a move, then they

0:39:47.920 --> 0:39:49.600
<v Speaker 6>need to see what Dalvin has to offer it for

0:39:49.680 --> 0:39:52.760
<v Speaker 6>a full opportunity, not necessarily six carries for twelve yards.

0:39:52.800 --> 0:39:55.280
<v Speaker 6>So I mean give him five to ten more touches.

0:39:55.360 --> 0:39:58.439
<v Speaker 6>I was split it up evenly three ways. Rico zeke

0:39:59.000 --> 0:40:01.400
<v Speaker 6>Dalvin five to ten touches each. That's that's how I

0:40:01.440 --> 0:40:01.800
<v Speaker 6>would do it.

0:40:03.080 --> 0:40:04.040
<v Speaker 3>Do you play one?

0:40:04.200 --> 0:40:07.000
<v Speaker 7>You play them every series, just alternate series, and then

0:40:07.040 --> 0:40:10.359
<v Speaker 7>whoever has the hot hand in the second half, that's

0:40:10.400 --> 0:40:12.920
<v Speaker 7>your guy. I'm with that, you know, like if it's

0:40:13.000 --> 0:40:17.120
<v Speaker 7>Zeke and like, that's a good series for Zeke and

0:40:17.239 --> 0:40:20.640
<v Speaker 7>every well, bitch because they'll say, why'd you take him out?

0:40:20.760 --> 0:40:23.040
<v Speaker 7>He had the hot hand. You better figure out maybe

0:40:23.080 --> 0:40:24.919
<v Speaker 7>you could come back to it, you know, I would.

0:40:25.239 --> 0:40:27.240
<v Speaker 7>I would definitely give each one of them a series

0:40:27.280 --> 0:40:29.239
<v Speaker 7>and then whichever looks the best out of the three

0:40:29.400 --> 0:40:30.799
<v Speaker 7>series to start the game.

0:40:31.200 --> 0:40:32.440
<v Speaker 3>That's my guy the rest of the way.

0:40:32.480 --> 0:40:38.000
<v Speaker 5>And Hunter of course, Hey, by the way, Hunter, I

0:40:38.160 --> 0:40:41.439
<v Speaker 5>still as much as I love his game, they still

0:40:41.520 --> 0:40:43.520
<v Speaker 5>gotta do He's got to do better in the blocking game.

0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:45.480
<v Speaker 2>That's another guy that had. He had a couple of

0:40:45.520 --> 0:40:47.080
<v Speaker 2>plays there it was like, come on, man, you.

0:40:48.760 --> 0:40:50.120
<v Speaker 8>Can only do so much.

0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:50.560
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:40:50.920 --> 0:40:53.080
<v Speaker 5>But but again that that goes back to you can't

0:40:53.120 --> 0:40:56.120
<v Speaker 5>really blame any one person. If you say, I take

0:40:56.200 --> 0:40:58.440
<v Speaker 5>this person and I'll change him out, the running game

0:40:58.480 --> 0:40:59.279
<v Speaker 5>isn't going to get better.

0:40:59.640 --> 0:41:01.239
<v Speaker 2>It is a holistic thing.

0:41:01.719 --> 0:41:04.480
<v Speaker 5>You need a better You need better blocking from almost

0:41:04.600 --> 0:41:07.600
<v Speaker 5>everybody up there, because everybody has their moments when it's

0:41:07.680 --> 0:41:09.480
<v Speaker 5>just like that wasn't that wasn't what you need in

0:41:09.560 --> 0:41:10.960
<v Speaker 5>order to make the successful.

0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:11.520
<v Speaker 6>I would need to go back and look at the

0:41:11.600 --> 0:41:14.160
<v Speaker 6>numbers on it, but just off of vibes and feelings,

0:41:14.239 --> 0:41:17.560
<v Speaker 6>it feels like they haven't lined up Hunter in fullback

0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:19.720
<v Speaker 6>situations to go downhill dack.

0:41:19.600 --> 0:41:22.359
<v Speaker 2>Under not a lot they did a lot for They

0:41:22.400 --> 0:41:23.480
<v Speaker 2>put him on the wings a lot.

0:41:23.560 --> 0:41:25.400
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, they did that a lot for Paula last year.

0:41:25.440 --> 0:41:27.400
<v Speaker 6>And Hunter he got in there and he got dirty.

0:41:27.280 --> 0:41:27.719
<v Speaker 3>Got better.

0:41:27.800 --> 0:41:29.720
<v Speaker 7>He was a half man blocker, and but that second

0:41:29.760 --> 0:41:31.680
<v Speaker 7>half of the season he was taking people on full

0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:32.400
<v Speaker 7>and they're.

0:41:32.200 --> 0:41:34.840
<v Speaker 5>Not doing it this year, not doing it, which again

0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:36.960
<v Speaker 5>that that gets up being the question why you know

0:41:37.120 --> 0:41:38.080
<v Speaker 5>so anyway.

0:41:37.840 --> 0:41:39.239
<v Speaker 6>Lacks in the running game.

0:41:40.239 --> 0:41:45.680
<v Speaker 8>Man. I like where you guys are saying, but it's

0:41:45.719 --> 0:41:47.880
<v Speaker 8>hard to think that they would actually do something like that,

0:41:48.040 --> 0:41:51.319
<v Speaker 8>Like it's hard to envision like letting some one guy

0:41:51.400 --> 0:41:55.080
<v Speaker 8>go first, do all of them, then take it out

0:41:55.440 --> 0:41:56.480
<v Speaker 8>put somebody else in.

0:41:56.960 --> 0:41:59.680
<v Speaker 6>So it's I don't know, i'd.

0:41:59.560 --> 0:42:01.480
<v Speaker 7>Actually you can actually do what they do with the

0:42:01.560 --> 0:42:04.239
<v Speaker 7>what the Lions do? Lions switch their guys out, like

0:42:04.360 --> 0:42:06.759
<v Speaker 7>every play, Yeah, they'll run a guy and then they'll

0:42:06.800 --> 0:42:09.520
<v Speaker 7>run another guy. I mean, just roll them just what

0:42:09.640 --> 0:42:09.920
<v Speaker 7>you get.

0:42:11.000 --> 0:42:11.759
<v Speaker 9>I don't know. I don't.

0:42:13.560 --> 0:42:16.759
<v Speaker 8>It's just I see the pros and cons on both scenarios.

0:42:17.440 --> 0:42:19.960
<v Speaker 8>I think they both bring different things. I think he

0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:22.520
<v Speaker 8>could mess up the rhythm, but then at the same time,

0:42:22.680 --> 0:42:25.480
<v Speaker 8>it's like, do you even have rhythm? So it goes

0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:25.880
<v Speaker 8>into that.

0:42:26.120 --> 0:42:28.600
<v Speaker 3>It's all con. Yeah, it's all Conn right now, there's

0:42:28.640 --> 0:42:28.960
<v Speaker 3>no pro.

0:42:29.360 --> 0:42:33.400
<v Speaker 8>But you know what, I just wonder how I'm curious

0:42:33.440 --> 0:42:37.080
<v Speaker 8>to see because he did show these few plays last

0:42:37.160 --> 0:42:41.000
<v Speaker 8>week where he shows some aggressiveness in his game that

0:42:41.160 --> 0:42:44.279
<v Speaker 8>we have been used to seeing years ago, right, and

0:42:44.440 --> 0:42:45.960
<v Speaker 8>then we haven't seen it yet. And then all of

0:42:45.960 --> 0:42:47.839
<v Speaker 8>a sudden in that game, maybe it was the whole

0:42:48.320 --> 0:42:50.920
<v Speaker 8>Darvin Cook coming up, and then maybe he's like, let

0:42:51.000 --> 0:42:54.759
<v Speaker 8>me mark my territory here, and then he showed that

0:42:54.880 --> 0:42:57.719
<v Speaker 8>aggression in there, which is what you want to see

0:42:57.800 --> 0:43:00.160
<v Speaker 8>and what you love about him or what you're to

0:43:00.280 --> 0:43:03.120
<v Speaker 8>loving about him. So I wonder how he goes into

0:43:03.200 --> 0:43:07.840
<v Speaker 8>this game, because it did started fading away last weekend

0:43:07.920 --> 0:43:11.040
<v Speaker 8>as the game went on. He just had those power runs,

0:43:11.120 --> 0:43:11.759
<v Speaker 8>but then that was it.

0:43:11.960 --> 0:43:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Really well, I'll tell you this. One of the things

0:43:13.560 --> 0:43:15.319
<v Speaker 2>I loved about scored Off too.

0:43:15.360 --> 0:43:16.879
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, one of the things I saw from Zeke last

0:43:16.920 --> 0:43:18.879
<v Speaker 5>week that I loved was it was really the yards

0:43:18.920 --> 0:43:21.439
<v Speaker 5>after contact, right, because there were a number of runs

0:43:21.719 --> 0:43:24.320
<v Speaker 5>square a couple yeah where he got hit, you know,

0:43:24.640 --> 0:43:26.759
<v Speaker 5>two or three yards past the line of scrimmage, and

0:43:26.840 --> 0:43:28.880
<v Speaker 5>he ended up getting another three or four yards. And

0:43:29.239 --> 0:43:31.080
<v Speaker 5>that's what I like, because again, when you have an

0:43:31.120 --> 0:43:34.480
<v Speaker 5>offensive line and tight ends and wide receivers and fullbacks

0:43:34.680 --> 0:43:37.360
<v Speaker 5>that aren't really blocking great on any given play, anybody

0:43:37.440 --> 0:43:39.759
<v Speaker 5>could have a bus you need a running back that

0:43:39.840 --> 0:43:42.000
<v Speaker 5>could still get yards after they've been contacted. And I

0:43:42.040 --> 0:43:44.200
<v Speaker 5>think that's what I saw from him that really, I

0:43:44.280 --> 0:43:47.040
<v Speaker 5>think was some of the better running we've seen all

0:43:47.120 --> 0:43:48.880
<v Speaker 5>season in that game from him.

0:43:48.920 --> 0:43:50.200
<v Speaker 2>He just didn't get enough opportunity.

0:43:50.480 --> 0:43:52.640
<v Speaker 3>It might be the fact that number twenty actually dressed

0:43:52.640 --> 0:43:54.359
<v Speaker 3>for that game that got Zeke a little motive.

0:43:54.480 --> 0:43:58.200
<v Speaker 6>Maybe maybe this came from Mike McCarthy and yesterday's press conference,

0:43:58.239 --> 0:43:59.800
<v Speaker 6>he was asked about Dalvin Cook, and I think he

0:44:00.920 --> 0:44:03.800
<v Speaker 6>kind of an interesting answer about the entire running back situation.

0:44:04.280 --> 0:44:06.319
<v Speaker 6>He said, I thought he did a nice job. Didn't

0:44:06.320 --> 0:44:08.320
<v Speaker 6>get a lot of opportunities, but it's a challenge to

0:44:08.360 --> 0:44:11.680
<v Speaker 6>get multiple guys reps. Running back by committee is definitely

0:44:11.800 --> 0:44:13.759
<v Speaker 6>not the preference, but we feel it's the best way

0:44:13.800 --> 0:44:16.320
<v Speaker 6>to utilize these guys. We didn't have enough trips to

0:44:16.400 --> 0:44:17.479
<v Speaker 6>the plate just as a whole.

0:44:18.000 --> 0:44:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Yep, did he say anything we didn't know?

0:44:21.600 --> 0:44:24.280
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I mean, I think it's interesting Mike McCarthy

0:44:24.360 --> 0:44:26.800
<v Speaker 6>saying running back by committee is definitely not the preference.

0:44:27.480 --> 0:44:31.840
<v Speaker 8>Well, the bi committee in any position ever worked for

0:44:31.920 --> 0:44:33.160
<v Speaker 8>the Cowboys.

0:44:33.320 --> 0:44:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Made him trade a first round pick for a while.

0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:37.239
<v Speaker 6>Exactly exactly, Well.

0:44:37.200 --> 0:44:39.799
<v Speaker 2>Running back by committee has worked in the past, long

0:44:39.880 --> 0:44:40.239
<v Speaker 2>time ago.

0:44:40.280 --> 0:44:42.359
<v Speaker 3>I'll take Detroit committee of running the ball.

0:44:42.480 --> 0:44:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'd say, if you got the right running back.

0:44:45.239 --> 0:44:47.320
<v Speaker 5>I remember the Giants when they had Tiki Barber and

0:44:47.560 --> 0:44:49.600
<v Speaker 5>what was the big guy's name, Brandon j Like that

0:44:49.680 --> 0:44:51.640
<v Speaker 5>was a nice tandem. I mean, you can make running

0:44:51.680 --> 0:44:53.440
<v Speaker 5>back back commedi work if you got the right running

0:44:53.560 --> 0:44:55.800
<v Speaker 5>We're gonna face it this weekend, Cowboys.

0:44:55.760 --> 0:44:56.760
<v Speaker 3>Exactly exactly.

0:44:56.840 --> 0:44:58.600
<v Speaker 7>I mean. The thing about it is, though, to me,

0:44:59.040 --> 0:45:00.600
<v Speaker 7>if you're going to play all three of the guys,

0:45:01.239 --> 0:45:03.359
<v Speaker 7>use them alternatum every play, Just see what you got,

0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:05.960
<v Speaker 7>find somebody and then and then maybe it doesn't become

0:45:06.040 --> 0:45:08.759
<v Speaker 7>committee anymore. Maybe all of a sudden, Mike Mark's a

0:45:08.840 --> 0:45:10.560
<v Speaker 7>play on his play sheets like, oh, that was a

0:45:10.600 --> 0:45:12.520
<v Speaker 7>pretty good one. Okay, go back to that one when

0:45:12.600 --> 0:45:15.000
<v Speaker 7>Zeke's in there, Go back to this one when Cook's

0:45:15.000 --> 0:45:17.400
<v Speaker 7>in there, Go back with this one with Daddle. You know,

0:45:17.760 --> 0:45:20.440
<v Speaker 7>I'm all for throwing the ball to Dalvin Cook. By

0:45:20.480 --> 0:45:22.399
<v Speaker 7>the way, whatever we can do to throw the ball,

0:45:22.480 --> 0:45:22.719
<v Speaker 7>did you.

0:45:22.719 --> 0:45:25.840
<v Speaker 8>Do the same thing of switching them out on third downs?

0:45:26.880 --> 0:45:28.759
<v Speaker 3>Are okay?

0:45:28.880 --> 0:45:31.160
<v Speaker 7>This is this is where maybe the one time that

0:45:31.280 --> 0:45:33.880
<v Speaker 7>I needed And maybe this is because Dalvin Cook hasn't

0:45:33.920 --> 0:45:36.840
<v Speaker 7>played a lot of plays for you. I wish he

0:45:36.880 --> 0:45:39.040
<v Speaker 7>would have just been aware to pick up that that

0:45:39.360 --> 0:45:42.840
<v Speaker 7>pick up Bosa when Steele got beat inside. If he

0:45:43.040 --> 0:45:45.480
<v Speaker 7>just turns and picks up Bosa, maybe Dak can get

0:45:45.520 --> 0:45:49.080
<v Speaker 7>the ball down the field. You know, if Zeke's in there,

0:45:49.160 --> 0:45:51.680
<v Speaker 7>maybe it's a little bit more awareness of don't worry

0:45:51.719 --> 0:45:54.399
<v Speaker 7>about checking inside as much. I need all the help

0:45:54.440 --> 0:45:57.520
<v Speaker 7>on the outside. It's probably Dalvin just not playing a

0:45:57.560 --> 0:46:01.120
<v Speaker 7>lot with Steel, because if I'm a running back, I'm

0:46:01.200 --> 0:46:02.919
<v Speaker 7>kind of keeping an eye. If I'm over that side,

0:46:02.920 --> 0:46:05.440
<v Speaker 7>I'm always looking at Steel. I'm thinking Still is going

0:46:05.480 --> 0:46:07.440
<v Speaker 7>to need my help here one way or another, you know,

0:46:07.800 --> 0:46:10.400
<v Speaker 7>or if you're on the other side, It's like, okay, Geyton,

0:46:10.800 --> 0:46:12.040
<v Speaker 7>I know, Smith's get a block.

0:46:12.120 --> 0:46:14.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't worry. I'm worried about geitting over here, you know.

0:46:15.320 --> 0:46:18.160
<v Speaker 3>And you needed a hero block. You needed one of

0:46:18.239 --> 0:46:21.040
<v Speaker 3>those aware hero blocks where.

0:46:20.920 --> 0:46:22.880
<v Speaker 7>He all of a sudden he's looking inside, but oh no,

0:46:23.040 --> 0:46:25.160
<v Speaker 7>he peels back and he takes Bosa.

0:46:25.480 --> 0:46:27.320
<v Speaker 3>Now Dak launches it down the field.

0:46:27.760 --> 0:46:29.759
<v Speaker 7>It's a touchdown, and you go back and then Chris

0:46:29.840 --> 0:46:33.520
<v Speaker 7>Collinsworth goes watch the block here by Dalvin Cook, you know,

0:46:33.760 --> 0:46:35.120
<v Speaker 7>and that got the ball.

0:46:35.280 --> 0:46:39.360
<v Speaker 3>Ask you, yeah, that's that's what you needed. But maybe

0:46:39.400 --> 0:46:42.719
<v Speaker 3>a lot of time on not time on task, affected

0:46:42.760 --> 0:46:43.279
<v Speaker 3>you that way.

0:46:43.440 --> 0:46:43.759
<v Speaker 1>And we know.

0:46:43.920 --> 0:46:45.879
<v Speaker 5>But one thing we will say is we've seen Deep

0:46:46.000 --> 0:46:48.120
<v Speaker 5>Zeke make those kind of hero block hero blocks, right,

0:46:48.239 --> 0:46:51.360
<v Speaker 5>So I do think maybe the answer is Zeke or

0:46:51.680 --> 0:46:54.080
<v Speaker 5>I've actually been pretty happy with Lipkey on third down too.

0:46:54.120 --> 0:46:56.920
<v Speaker 5>I don't think he's been a liability for them, So

0:46:57.000 --> 0:46:58.560
<v Speaker 5>I think I would probably go with one of those

0:46:58.600 --> 0:47:00.719
<v Speaker 5>two guys and continue that on third down for the

0:47:00.760 --> 0:47:02.799
<v Speaker 5>most part. All right, appreciate you, guys, Jones. So we're

0:47:02.800 --> 0:47:04.799
<v Speaker 5>back tomorrow. We'll wrap this thing up. Get you guys

0:47:04.840 --> 0:47:07.440
<v Speaker 5>ready for Sunday. Cowboys versus Falcons. We'll be back till

0:47:07.440 --> 0:47:10.560
