17
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: we get into it too much. I did want to

18
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: we had a question yesterday and I would be interested

19
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: to hear your thoughts on this. I asked these these guys,

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: um did anything that happened Monday night in that Washington

21
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: Philadelphia game change your opinions of Philadelphia, Washington or the

22
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: NFC East. Uh, yeah, a little bit. I mean, well

23
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: just just knowing that, you know, if Philly's not going

24
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: to run away with anything. I mean I did kind

25
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: of mention that I thought Washington had a chance. You

26
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: did you call that? And somebody on Twitter actually called

27
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: that out there, like Nick actually said this was going

28
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: to happen. Yeah, but as you and Todd Archer point out,

29
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: when you make a lot of predictions, yeah, there's about that.

30
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: But but division games, we've seen it several times where

31
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, you blow out the team the first time,

32
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: and the second time around, it's not the same. So,

33
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: and I said this before, I think Washington's gonna be

34
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: a factor in this thing. Had they even played the

35
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: Giants yet? Washington and the Giants, I'm not sure if

36
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: they have. And I know that Giants haven't played Philly yet, So, like,

37
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot to be done here. I just

38
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: think that it's going to it's going to be interesting

39
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: how how it goes. Philly though, they're good, I mean,

40
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: they were better than Washington. You know, face mask penalty

41
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: didn't get called, and that deep ball with the Fumm,

42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: it's just kind of some slooky things. But I mean,

43
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: I think you know, but it's good to know that

44
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: they can be beat. Yeah, looking at Washington, No, and

45
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: looking at their ability to u to run the ball

46
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: pretty good, Looking at their ability to stop the run,

47
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: they're pretty stout there. As you look at all the

48
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: teams in the NFC East, if you had to prioritize

49
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: them as the team that is the worst matchup for

50
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: Dallas through to the how would you rate them? Um,

51
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's Philly, Washington and the Giants.

52
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: That's just because of that run matchup and stopping the run.

53
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: It's what they're trying to do. Um. Also, you get

54
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: to go at Washington, so Philly, Washington the Giants, which

55
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 1: I think that's what y'all said, right, Yeah, I think

56
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: we all agree the same. Yeah, yeah, order, And I

57
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: mean they're all they're all tough. I mean, it's I

58
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: think you said that. I think you said on the

59
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: show that you felt better about the game. I felt

60
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: worse about the Packer game because you're just like, I mean,

61
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: think about just think about what the what the perception

62
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys would have been if they would just

63
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: win the game. Just whatever, whatever play you want to say,

64
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: it goes their way and they win that game. And

65
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: then that happens to the Philly You're like, there we go,

66
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys could get the one seed. That that's what you'd

67
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: be thinking. They could get the one seed. So that's

68
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: that's why it's a little frustrating to know. That's why

69
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: I would, you know. I mean, I'm not saying I'm

70
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: gonna take the headset and slam it down. You know

71
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. But you're the only one. Yeah no,

72
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: But you know, honestly, though, I still look at it

73
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: again because of what happened Monday night, I do think

74
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys still could get the one seat. I think

75
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: it starts with this week, and they gotta win this

76
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: weekend if they want to to get that in that error.

77
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: But look, Philadelphia is not unbeatable and the Vikings aren't unbeatable.

78
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: There's nobody in the NFC that you're like, I really

79
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: worry about them. The teams that I worry about most

80
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: are below the Cowboys right now. And I heard you

81
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: talking this morning on the fan like San Francisco is

82
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: the one I still look at, like man, I don't really,

83
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how well Dallas matches up there. And

84
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is still a team. I'm like, I don't

85
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: know how well Dallas matches up there. And if the Packers,

86
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: who now are only two games out of the playoffs,

87
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: they happen to get back into it, I don't know

88
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: how well they match up there if they had to

89
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: play them again. So it's the teams below than the

90
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: teams that are right now. I'm there at the top

91
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: for the psake of the discussion, and you know, like,

92
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: how confident are you even about the Cowboys right now?

93
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: Because we I mean, I get it, you got to

94
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: win these games and you can get up there or whatever.

95
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: But when you look at what the Cowboys currently are,

96
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: what they did last week or yeah, I guess that

97
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: was last week some day when they did what they

98
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: did there, and when you start looking at the issues

99
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: that they currently have, and you've seen them in their

100
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: best moments, and you've seen them what they can do

101
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: and when the offense is working, when the defense is

102
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: attacking the way that they do, being able to pressure

103
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: the quarterback and all that, But now when you look

104
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: at the areas where they're really lacking, and you can

105
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: still point out the receivers group and also the quarterback,

106
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean Dak at times is not perfect. And then

107
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: on top of that you add the run defense and

108
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: what they're currently struggling with there, and you look at

109
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: the analysis of now where we're at with them, how

110
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: is your like, where is your confidence level at when

111
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: looking at the Cowboys as a whole for the for

112
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: the second half of the season. To me, yeah, that's

113
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: same they got. They got one major flaw in my opinion,

114
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: and that's they can't stop the run. And my belief

115
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: is if and this is going to start with the

116
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator and go down the line, if everybody from

117
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator all the way down to the players says,

118
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: stop worrying about getting after the quarterback as your primary concern,

119
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: Your primary concern is stop the run. If all of

120
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: those people make that the primary concern, my belief is

121
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: that they will be adequate at stopping the run. If

122
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: their adequate is stopping the run, they win that game.

123
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: They win that win game going away in Green Bay

124
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: they had a fourteen point lead in the fourth quarter, Like,

125
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: they win that game going away. And you can say

126
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: what you want about the offense and DAC and whatever,

127
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: but guess what yet started off. It wasn't perfect. They

128
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: got twenty eight points by the beginning of the fourth quarter. Yeah,

129
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: if you can stop the run, you win that game.

130
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: So all I'm saying is like, there are lots of

131
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: areas where they can improve. Don't get me wrong, I'm

132
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: not saying they can't improve. Dad can be better, the

133
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: receivers can be better, the offensive line can be better.

134
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: They got one major flaw that if they don't fix that,

135
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: they're not going anywhere. And that to me is a

136
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: run defense. Yeah, and it's probably gonna come to I mean,

137
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: they can stop the run. They can get the runs stopped.

138
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: It's just that that's not the way they want to play.

139
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: And there's guys that they that are on this team

140
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: that are supposed to be here for you know, dynamic

141
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: pass rushing ability, and they won't get to play the

142
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: same way. They're gonna have to stop the run. And

143
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: then after that, well we'll see. I think there's gonna

144
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: be different personnel. I mean, I think you got to

145
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: play guys like Chauncey Golston in there, and there's somebody

146
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: I believe I don't know what I'm implying. Somebody's getting cut.

147
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: I do think that somebody, somebody that's a player like

148
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: that's actually playing games. Yeah, somebody like a pass rusher,

149
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: they or or or just benched. But but maybe cut

150
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: because you're gonna need roster spots. I just think that

151
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: they got too many of these guys. There's just too

152
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: many of them. They're similar kind of yeah, So I

153
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: just think that there's there's not enough space who I'm

154
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: not saying you bring in anybody necessarily unless you unless

155
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: you've got a defensive end that's out there. I just

156
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: don't think that they'll they'll keep There's no room for

157
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: bash them Fowler, Doran's Armstrong and Sam Williams. There's no

158
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: room for all of those guys. And we know when

159
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: you already got Tank, yeah, and you already got Micah

160
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: and yeah, yeah, there's just not room for all them.

161
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: And so you can look at it and say, all right,

162
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: who makes the money, who's drafted, who's young, and you're

163
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: gonna keep me, and you can kind of figure it out,

164
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you don't have to keep some

165
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: of those guys. Um, there may be more help on

166
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: the practice squad coming. I mean, I mean, there's there's

167
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: there's names out there being floated out there that are

168
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: going to happen here on the You know that the

169
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys are bringing in from the practice wide. Not the

170
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: biggest name, not the OBJ name, but there's some others

171
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: that are out there. So we'll see, we'll see what

172
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: happens here. I think today is going to be interesting day,

173
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: just roster moves wise. You keep hearing this name in

174
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: Dominican Sue that fans keep throwing around as as an

175
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 1: option to bring in defensive tackle. Obviously I'm not as

176
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: big a fan of it, but what do you guys

177
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: think as far as that being something that the Cowboys

178
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: maybe should consider. I mean, they're not stopping the run

179
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: on the edge like it's probably defensive tackle. That's that's

180
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: the problem. I think I think they could get it

181
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: stopped up the middle. It's it's the outside runs and um,

182
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: I don't know if he helps you there, and I'm

183
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I mean, I know why Obj's out,

184
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, he's rehabbing his knee. Yeah, I don't know

185
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: why Sue is out. Yeah I don't, I mean, I do,

186
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. My assumption is just because

187
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: he's not in football, nobody just signed him. And by

188
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: the way, that doesn't mean that doesn't mean players like

189
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: that can't come in and add something to your team.

190
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: I just don't know if it solves the problem. I

191
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: think you got Hankins to solve that problem, and I

192
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: think Hankins is doing an adequate job. I did notice

193
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: one thing. I saw this I I was looking at

194
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: on Twitter and Brian baal Dinger, you know he does

195
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: his breakdowns. He did an interesting breakdown and on one

196
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: play it was actually the touchdown play where Aaron Jones

197
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: ran off tackle and scored the touchdown. And and to me,

198
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: that's where you look at and you're like, whoa defensive coordinator,

199
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: that was probably not the best idea because essentially what

200
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: happened play starts defensive end and defensive tackle both just

201
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: shoot outside and create this gaping hole that now your

202
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: linebackers have to fill. The problem is offensive lineman's on

203
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: Micah on him pretty quickly, and so now him trying

204
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: to get off a block and basically control of this

205
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: big gaping hole. It's like, that's a That's an example

206
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: of where I said earlier in the show. It has

207
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: a start with the defensive coordinator and go all the

208
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: way down that the priority needs to be stopping the run,

209
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: which in that instance you don't send your tackle outside.

210
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: Now we also have to we were I'm assuming that

211
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: was not it that was his assignment. Maybe it wasn't

212
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: his assignment and he messed it up. But but that's

213
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: where I think there are some issues here with this

214
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: run defense that maybe fixable if you just either focus

215
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: on what you're doing or everybody know their assignment and

216
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: play their assignment and fit in their gaps. You can't

217
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: keep worrying about sacks all the time. That's what it is.

218
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you got guys that come off the field

219
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: and they're they're they're asking about that I get a

220
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: sack there, and they need to call in the league

221
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: to see if they can switch the sacked, you know,

222
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: for it was my sack versus I mean, they're all

223
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: worried about it. I get it, because that's that's the

224
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: stat that people view. But it's causing problems. And I

225
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 1: say it all the time about the Colts bet way

226
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: back in the day, Dwight Freeney, those guys, Dwight Freeney

227
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: cared about sacks. They didn't ever stop the run because

228
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: they got up the field. And so you gotta be

229
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: you gotta find a way to be disciplined and and

230
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: know that this is more embarrassing. Is getting two hundred

231
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: yards rushing on you is more embarrassing than finishing a

232
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: win without a sack. They all need to realize that.

233
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: And I don't think that they do. I mean, whether

234
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: they do or not. You know, we've seen, we've interviewed

235
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: players that aren't real happy about a win because they

236
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: didn't get individual stats. That brings him an interesting point.

237
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: How do you guys think Mike is gonna respond to this?

238
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: Because this will be the first time in Micah's career

239
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: with the Dallas Cowboys where people are talking about him

240
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: in a negative way. I saw this morning on Good

241
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: Morning Football. They were basically saying, oh, yeah, here's the

242
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: blueprint for neutralizing Michael Parsons. And and I wonder a

243
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: guy like him who is very, very prideful and takes

244
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: a lot of pride in the fact that he is

245
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: among the best in the NFL. I wonder how he

246
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: responds to a game where everybody's looking at him and

247
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: saying you're part of the problem. What do you guys think? Well,

248
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: I think he plays I don't think he plays well

249
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: when he's frustrated. I think he plays well when he's

250
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: pissed off. Though, Oh maybe that's a good thing for

251
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, I mean I think so. I mean,

252
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: last time he went to Minnesota, he was a defensive

253
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: player of the week. I mean, had four tackles for loss.

254
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: So you know, we'll see. I mean there's another element

255
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: on this too that yes, they gave a lot of

256
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: rushing yards to the Bears because the Bears just kept

257
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: doing it and that's the only thing the Bears could do,

258
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: so they just kept running and running, and the Cowboys

259
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: kind of let him have it and all that. The

260
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: Packers did it as well, and Aaron Rodgers did a

261
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: really nice job there. But I don't think other teams

262
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: are going to have the same success because they don't

263
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: have the same quarterback as Aaron Rodgers. And I think, yes,

264
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: you can keep running it, you can running, but at

265
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: some point you're gonna have to make a play. And

266
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: I don't think that the next three opponents, even though

267
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: they've got three great running backs, I don't think it's

268
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: going to be the same. But I do I do

269
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: this week, and it's not so much that the quarterback

270
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: is great. I think the receiver is great and the

271
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: quarterback is pretty good, and so because of that, I

272
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: do think there will be times in this game where

273
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: it's the similar kind of thing is what you experience

274
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: with Green Bay. They may not have to throw it

275
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: a lot. They can get going with the running game

276
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: and do a lot of their damage on the ground

277
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys are going to give up that ground yardage,

278
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: but they can make a few big plays in the

279
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 1: passing game as well, which is exactly what the Packers did.

280
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: They just made a few big plays in the passing game,

281
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: and with those receivers out there, I think they can

282
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: make those big plays. They've been making them all season.

283
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: We saw last week. I should not have been a completion,

284
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: but just Jefferson is just He's just stupid, crazy good, right,

285
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: And so that's where I differ a little bit on that.

286
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: I do think this. I agree with you with the Giants,

287
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: but I think for this week, I do think it's

288
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: very similar to what you face last week. You know,

289
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to say this because it's gonna be recorded,

290
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: and I don't want to regret saying this. Here we go.

291
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: It's good time to turn around, I know. But whatever

292
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it, it's in regards to my come

293
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: I think I do think he's one of the greatest players.

294
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: He's definitely the best player that the Cowboys currently have

295
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: on the roster. But I feel that in the past

296
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: weeks and he's the type of player, Yes, you can

297
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: move him around and do all that, but when you

298
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: take him away from doing the defensive end job and

299
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: like pressuring the quarterback, and you put him a linebacker

300
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: and have to and he's still the type of player

301
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: that a lot of the times you see him just

302
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: show up, he's like, how how did he get there

303
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: faster than anybody else? But there have been time certain

304
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: places that I've seen, especially in this last game, where

305
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: him being like that part of the field linebacker, his

306
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: game is kind of looking like a little slower where

307
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: he's not as impactful as he can be on the defense. Overall,

308
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's bad or anything, but I think

309
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: that his game is taking a hit. When you take

310
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: him away from just pressure in the quarterback, his game

311
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: goes down a level, and I'm not saying that level

312
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: is bad whatsoever, but it's not at the top where

313
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: it's been this whole time. So I do think his

314
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: game is just he looks at time a little not

315
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: a step behind, but just a little slower and differently. Yeah,

316
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have noticed that, And

317
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: I know people are kind of starting to comment about him,

318
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you saw the comment. I

319
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: was trying to look for it, but dan Quinn was

320
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: act do you know what I'm talking about? Where Mica

321
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: made a comment about accountability and like players taking accountability

322
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: and he said some like players weren't taking accountability, and

323
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: then dan Quinn was asked about it and he just

324
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: came back and said everybody has everybody's back and kind

325
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: of switched it around. But that's the kind of thing

326
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: that you wouldn't expect him necessarily to say, because I

327
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: do see him kind of as a leader and all that.

328
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: But when he gets to him, it does get to him.

329
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: And that's the difference between how he responds. Does he

330
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: play harder and go out there and play even more,

331
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: or does he become that frustrated player where now he's

332
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: going on Twitter saying all kinds of things, just letting

333
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: it the frustration get to him. So it'll be interesting

334
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: to see when, if it happens again this weekend, how

335
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: he responds to all those types of comments and how

336
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: he handles that, because he hasn't faced any of that

337
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: since he got here. I don't know, I mean, I

338
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: don't know where do you play him. That's the problem.

339
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: He's a tweener. And it doesn't matter what position that is,

340
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: no matter what sport, basketball, football, anybody that's ever been

341
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: labeled somebody like that and in between end, in between linebacker,

342
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: in between a forward or a guard or whatever. Like you,

343
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: Mismatch problems are are good when it's in favorable for you,

344
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: but it's also a mismatch problem. It depends on who

345
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: you're facing, you know, and that's the problem. They just

346
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: don't You don't know exactly where to play him. If

347
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: you just played him strictly at defensive end all the time,

348
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: I think he'd get I think they'd run at him

349
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: a lot. I think he'd get worn down a lot

350
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: more in the games, and he'd probably be playing a

351
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: lot less snaps. He's defensive, he helps he wouldn't be

352
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: as effective. And if you play him at linebacker, we're

353
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: finding why you don't draft linebackers that high in the draft,

354
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: because that's why he didn't go that high. I mean,

355
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: I mean went high, but I mean that's why he

356
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: didn't go top five because he wasn't a pass rusher

357
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: until he showed he could pass rush. So it's just

358
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: it's a cat and mouse game all the time. They're

359
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: gonna have to figure out how to do it. They

360
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: gotta stop the run. They gotta get this run stopped.

361
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: They get it stopped. Put him in third long situations.

362
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: Then you could play Mica wherever you want. All Right,

363
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,239
Speaker 1: we're gonna take our first break when we come back.

364
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask these guys, if you were the head coach,

365
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: what would be your message to the team coming off

366
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: that game and now heading into a game against Minnesota,

367
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: do when we come right back this Dalas Cowboys dot

368
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: Com Radio, Todd thought it would be secure to jog

369
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: in the Cheetahs. Even Todd believed the big Cat repellent

370
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: he bought online was reliable. And now Todd is trying

371
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: to be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles.

372
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: But the good news is Todd has at and T

373
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

374
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

375
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: toss her the backpack with the beef stew at and

376
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated. Five

432
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: dot Com. Question I have for you, guys, if you're

433
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: the head coach right now, and you got a team

434
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: that you think is a really good team, but there

435
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: are some some cracks that are appearing, and you lose

436
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: a game like that on the road that you probably

437
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: should have won, and now you got to face a

438
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: team that is one of the better teams in the

439
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: NFC from a record standpoint, on the road again, heading

440
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: into a period where you got some clean games close

441
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: back to back to back. What would your message be

442
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: to the team right now? My message would be, we're

443
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: damn good football team, and usually things that that kind

444
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: of everything that goes up should come down. It all

445
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: pretty much evens out. I would say of the losses

446
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: this year, I would say two of the three losses

447
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: you could have won. The game you made your own mistake,

448
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: she could have won. There's not many wins that you

449
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: could say we should have lost. I don't think there's any.

450
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: Cincinnati was closed. They were better than Cincinnati all day long.

451
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: They were better than them, so they won the game there.

452
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: When you look at it that way, you know a

453
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: lot of times it's like, well, these four wins, you know,

454
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: these four loss should have been wins. But then you

455
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: can also count about the same. Right now, I think

456
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: they are playing better than their opponents most of the time.

457
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: They're a better football team and their opponents. That says

458
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: so in the record, it says so, in the points

459
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: that are scored, says so in their rankings on you know, offense,

460
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: defense rankings. So stick to the script, keep going, keep fighting.

461
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: Let's figure, let's plug these holes a little bit. Should

462
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: get some help coming back here, I mean, should get

463
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,959
Speaker 1: some other you know, Zeke's gonna help. Zeke's better than

464
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: Leeg Davis, so Zeke will help. I think Tyrant Smith

465
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: is going to come back. I think he's gonna play

466
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: left tackle. I think he's better than Tyler Smith right now.

467
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, so I think they're gonna get

468
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: some help. And I think that they're a good football team.

469
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: And I don't think we would be saying that. You know,

470
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: we wouldn't be saying anything different about them. If there's

471
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: no holding penalty there, they drive down, they win the game,

472
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: right then they win in overtime. I don't think we're

473
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: talking about this team, and it's just that much of

474
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: a difference. So I don't think it's time to hit

475
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: the panic button at all. This is a good team. Yeah,

476
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: I think it all comes down to let's play clean football.

477
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: You just have to clean it up on offense because

478
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: the defense you talk about, the run defense, I don't

479
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: think you can fix that in a week. It's gonna

480
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: take a little bit more time to do that. You

481
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: can see certain types of improvement depending on what dan

482
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: Quinn decides to do scheme wise and all that. But

483
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: on offense is where if you play just tight, tight

484
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: the game, you know, don't get too I'm not cocky

485
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: is not the word I'm looking for, but a little

486
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: greedy or overconfidence. You know, there are some throws on

487
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: there that you don't need. Greedy's the word greedy, and

488
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: that was the word. That's what Yeah, it's true, that's

489
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: what they did when it was seven nothing and they

490
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: were there was no need to that, especially when you

491
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: see you're being able to run the ball like the

492
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: running game wasn't an issue there. They were running successfully,

493
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: so there was no need to make a throw like that.

494
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: So it's just that clean it up on offense and

495
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: I think you're just a few step away from just

496
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: fully clicking there. And I think that's the most immediate

497
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: part of the game that you can change from this

498
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: weekend to next weekend to go up against the Vikings.

499
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: You don't give up no turnovers, protect the ball, and

500
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: just play clean football, run the ball when you need to,

501
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: and then when you need to make those passes that

502
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: you check it down and you're like, okay, I can't

503
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: make that, But don't play a guessing game either, like

504
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: if you feel confident. Also, don't don't bring up that

505
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: CD play into this game. I think you need to

506
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: put that like over the middle, the one over the

507
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: middle right past. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they I saw a

508
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: breakdown of that play too. It's very interesting they broke

509
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: it down on one of the ESPN shows. But basically

510
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: the way that they defined the way they broke it down,

511
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: which again they they're taking some liberties, but essentially what

512
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: they said was basically what they showed confused both to

513
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: CD and DAK. Basically, you know traditional cover two where

514
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: you got your linebacker in the middle of the field

515
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: and he's basically dropping deep. They put a safety back

516
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: there and he was playing kind of going downhill. And

517
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: so if if it's a traditional Cover two, then in

518
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: that situation you've got a CD would would would go upfield.

519
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: If it were a situation where there was going to

520
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,959
Speaker 1: be a guy in the middle of the field a

521
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: single safety high, then he would cut across the middle. Basically,

522
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: what they showed him was Cover two and there's a

523
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: guy in the middle of the field, and Dak decided,

524
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: I think I need to go upfield and in a

525
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: post and Dak thought he thought he should have gone across,

526
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: and there you go. That's your your answer. The point

527
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: is they actually ran that similar play later in the

528
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: game and actually connected on it, so they've had some

529
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: success with it. Did you notice if there were other

530
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: options on that particular play, I don't know. I don't know.

531
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 1: I didn't see whether there were other I wouldn't need

532
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: to go back and look at us. That's another thing.

533
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean, what are the other options? When you see

534
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: that you can't make that throw with CD, what do

535
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: you do? Then? Who do you I personally think if

536
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: CD would have gone across, that's a completion. Yeah, because

537
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: the guy who was sitting in the middle of the field,

538
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: the safety'll sit in the middle of the field. He

539
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: was too deep. If he goes in front of his face,

540
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: he was too deep to make a play on the

541
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: ball that would have been a completion. So I actually

542
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: think Dak was throwing it to the right place. I

543
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: think CD misread it, and I think he went up

544
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: feel where he actually ran into the coverage rather than

545
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: going across his face and now making an easier completion.

546
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: But again, those are the kind of things where that

547
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: happens in the NFL. Guess what, guys, everybody's getting paid

548
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: out there. They're all professionals, and these coordinators are looking

549
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: for ways where they can create indecision, where they can

550
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: have the quarterback and the receiver not be on the

551
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: same page age in these option type situations. And that's

552
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: exactly what they did, and it worked for it did,

553
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: But but I think the problem is is that when

554
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: you see it done right before the half against the Bears,

555
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: and you let the Bears back in the game because

556
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: of that interception, and then you go to the bye

557
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: week and two weeks later, right before the half, you're

558
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: trying to get some points and you do the exact

559
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: same throw in exact same play against the Packers, like

560
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: they watch film too. They're watching, Yeah, that's their last

561
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: tape of film that they've got on you So they

562
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: see that, Hey watch for this Rudy Ford and that's

563
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: what happened. And so, you know, I get it. Give

564
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: them five days off, get them off their feed, do

565
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: all this cool stuff, which is a lot of it's

566
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: required by the league, you know, but for the bye week.

567
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: But it's like they didn't learn from there. They don't

568
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: coaches don't have to be off five days. You know.

569
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: Well the other thing too is I don't think you

570
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: tell me. I don't think the players, according to League US,

571
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: have to be off as many days as they got. No,

572
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: you think that was part of the problem here, Well,

573
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: they weren't. I mean they were flat. I mean they

574
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: didn't seem that flat. Okay, they didn't seem ready to play.

575
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't know. I mean, there's ten

576
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: coaches that are going back to Green Bay, including the

577
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: head coach. They were fired up and ready to go.

578
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: But where the players ready to play? I don't know,

579
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: and I'm not You can't. You can never figure that out. Well,

580
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: heading into the bye week, we talked about it on

581
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: this show. How okay, Well, this is a week where

582
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: you'll do some self evaluation and you look at the

583
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: things that you do some self scouting as well to

584
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: look at the players you got and all that. But then,

585
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: like you said, going, well we saw last weekend. I mean,

586
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything that I saw that would

587
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: make me think they improved in that aspect. Like I mean,

588
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: it was about the same. Yeah, if I mean, you

589
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: could argue the running game, running defense slowly getting worse,

590
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: and you mentioned that yesterday, Derek, But overall, I don't

591
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: think there was this pacific area where I was like, oh, yeah,

592
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: they improved there. I mean, the biggest play of the game.

593
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: And going back to the Packers, when I mean you

594
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: could say that the touchdown, the second touchdown to Watson

595
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: on fourth down. I mean, obviously they don't get that

596
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: the game's over, but the first touchdown like that would

597
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,959
Speaker 1: was huge too, because that let everyone know, okay, this

598
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: we're back in this, we tied the game. We just bombed,

599
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, the defense. And then Anthony Brown gets hurt,

600
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: and I don't care what you think, I don't care

601
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: what the fans that Anthony Brown is a good solid

602
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: cornerback and he gets picked on all the time because

603
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: for whatever the reason, he's a good player and he

604
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: doesn't get hurt right there. I think it's a different

605
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: game because it exposed the Cowboys are already down, Jordan

606
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: Lewis are already having to play d Ron Bland. Now

607
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: you have to play d Ron Bland and Kelvin Joseph.

608
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: I guess Aaron Rodgers man. I mean it's kind of

609
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: surprisingly they didn't light them up even more really so,

610
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: because they were they were committed to the run and

611
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: the run was working. That's why they didn't. Well, he

612
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: had a concussion, right, yeah, concussion you died, you don't.

613
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: But McCarthy said on Monday that he has an excellent chance.

614
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: I think was it excellent was the word he said? Well, yeah,

615
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: and to play excellent chance to play with and that's

616
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: and that's that's big on a Monday. Yeah, it's a

617
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: big difference, and you saw it. I mean, I don't

618
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: think any of us trust Kelvin Joseph. No, no, I

619
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: won't say what Nick said to me when when we

620
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: when he first went down. But yeah, I don't think

621
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: either one of us felt very great about the idea

622
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: that Joseph was the guy who's going to be coming in.

623
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: No he um, no at all. Like, honestly, I don't

624
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: think it's working out. I really don't. That's just what

625
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. It's not working out. And and yes,

626
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: he runs down and makes plays on he makes plays

627
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: for you on the special teams. He's had like four

628
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: or five, but he gives them away. I mean, he

629
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: has stupid penalties at times that don't make any sense. Um,

630
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: And you know, I mean, it's it's it is what

631
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: it is. It's kind of like what reminds me about

632
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: when the Cowboys drafted Dez Bryant ten twelve years ago.

633
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: Here's all these bad things about dis here's all these

634
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: good things about des and after his ten year career,

635
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: guess what they were. All Right, he's gonna be late,

636
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna be volatile. He's got off the field issues

637
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: that you know that are going to carry over. Great passion,

638
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: great player, playmaker. He's a leader, I mean or he's

639
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: an Everyone loves him. He'll he'll he'll do anything for

640
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: you to make plays. He'll be a highlight reel. They're

641
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: all true right now, Calvin Joseph. It's all true, except

642
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: for the pros on great cover guy, whatever got him

643
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: drafted in the second round. It's just not it's not

644
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: working out. The immaturity and all that we've seen all

645
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: of that, not to mention off the field, I mean

646
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: that's that's you know, speaks for itself and tragic. But

647
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: on the field, I mean it's like, oh my god,

648
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: as soon as he goes down, sous Anthony Brown goes down,

649
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: everybody in the press box like, oh man, that means

650
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: he's got to play and think about it this week

651
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: coming up, Nashan right has been inactive. I think I

652
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: take my chances with Nahan right at corner. Yeah that's

653
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: saying a lot, no, But but Nashan, like as as

654
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: training camp wore on and certainly as the the preseason

655
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,239
Speaker 1: wore on, we saw some holes in his game. Like

656
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, he's got some more development to do, right,

657
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: that's a big statement to say you'd rather see him

658
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: than than Calvin Joseph. Yeah, you know, and it just

659
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: hopefully it gets better. But like but just saying, and

660
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: you said it on here too, like you know, just

661
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: because all he's a good special teams guy, that's not

662
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: what you want from a high second round pick. He

663
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: was a high second round pick, and it's just not

664
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: it's not. It hasn't. It hasn't been good there, and

665
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: I think they got to figure something out if, if,

666
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: even if Anthony Brown comes back. I still think that

667
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: their depth there is not what they want. But I

668
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: don't want to overreact on Darron Bland. Deron Bland had

669
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 1: a couple of bad moments in that game, a couple

670
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: of them where he slipped down. He also had some

671
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 1: good moments in that game too, where he made some plays,

672
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: and so I still I'm big and I've told I

673
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: told you actually before he went down, before I said

674
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: once once Brown went down, I said, Deron Bland, it's

675
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: the next best cornerback. He should be out there rather

676
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 1: than bringing in Kelvin Joseph. Now, they went with Kelvin Joseph.

677
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 1: But in my opinion, I think Deron Bland is your

678
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: next best cornerback on this team. And I will continue

679
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: to believe that even though he had some rough moments

680
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: in this last game. He has a rookie, and so

681
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 1: in a late round pick for a rookie, they're gonna

682
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: be some growing pains. But everything that I've seen from him,

683
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: from the time he arrived here suggests it's not too

684
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: big for him. He is a really good player and

685
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 1: he's only going to get better. So I would this week,

686
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: if you don't have Brown, I would probably opt to

687
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: have him out there as my other starter playing all downs,

688
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: and then you'll bring in l. Joseph, even if you

689
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: push Bland into the slot when you're gonna go Nickel,

690
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: which is a whole different conversation, I think Cowboys get

691
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: away from Nickel a little bit and go four three

692
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more if they got the linebackers say

693
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: that too, And I was also going to say, this

694
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: is not a good week to do that. You don't think, Well,

695
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's Minnesota. You're you're right. Minnesota can

696
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: their it out. Minnesota could run. That's why it's one

697
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: of the reasons why they're so good, as they're very,

698
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: very versatile. I mean on offense, they can do multiple things. Yeah,

699
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: got a good tight end, got good receivers, got a

700
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: good running game. Yeah, it's it's a tough one. It's

701
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: a really tough one. Are we're gonna take our final

702
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: break when we come back. We'll talk a little bit

703
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: about this Minnesota offense in the Dallas defense. I want

00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: segment of the show. We got literally only about six

760
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: minutes here, uh, and we will get into some more

761
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,439
Speaker 1: of this stuff. Brian actually couldn't end up joining us today.

762
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: We'll get into a little more of the breakdown of

763
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: the Minnesota offense tomorrow. We'll get up the offense and

764
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: then can you Yeah, Dalvin Cook's a really good runner. Yeah,

765
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: tough as hell to bring down. Yeah, Justin Jefferson catches

766
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: just about everything, so good luck with that digs. Adam

767
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: Feeling is a great route runner, so whoever's on the

768
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: other corners, that's gonna be a problem. And then they

769
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: added T. J. Hockinson from the Lions in the division,

770
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: just another weapon there. Kirk Cousins is not playing at night,

771
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 1: so it's a day game. It could be a little

772
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: tougher for him, and uh, but they're eight and one

773
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 1: and they're ready for a loss. Okay, not bad, that's

774
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: not a bad little breakdown. Let me ask you this question,

775
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: knowing how good Justin Jefferson is, what do you do

776
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: with him? Would you travel digs on him? Yes? You would. Yes.

777
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: There's too many times in the game that I saw

778
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: And there was one play in particular last week where

779
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: it was late in the game and I'm watching and

780
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: Lazard goes in motion and nobody's no receivers on this

781
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: other side, Digs, it is just kind of flanked out

782
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: and he's kind of covering a tight end that's basically yeah,

783
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: and he's not covering anyone. It's over there. It's just

784
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: Bland and Joseph and then you've got, uh seven yards

785
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: off the b and linebacker, you got Michael Parsons. And

786
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Wow, Packers have them exactly where they want.

787
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: Their two best players are not doing what they do best,

788
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 1: which is cover receivers and rush the quarterback and and

789
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: and then it was a first down pass over the

790
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: middle and all that, and I'm just thinking the Cowboys

791
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 1: got to do what they do. So Jefferson Diggs. Diggs

792
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: will give up some plays. He'll get some as well,

793
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: and and then you know they have to because if

794
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: you don't that Jefferson's going up against two. I mean,

795
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: I think Anthony Brown is going to come back. But

796
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown hasn't been There have been moments he I mean,

797
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: he got the concussion. When he got the concussion, that

798
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: was a touchdown pass that he Yeah, he looked kind

799
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: of lost there too. Yeah. Yeah, So I mean I

800
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: agree with you. I think Justin Jefferson is your biggest

801
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:47,720
Speaker 1: challenge maybe he's a receiving standpoint. No, no, he didn't.

802
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: They wouldn't. They wouldn't have let him play if they did. Yeah,

803
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: you can't play like that. Now you can't know his head.

804
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: His head slammed down into the into the y. So

805
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think justin Jefferson's your biggest challenge,

806
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,240
Speaker 1: and I think you put your best cover guy, especially

807
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,439
Speaker 1: when there's such a big difference between your best cover

808
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 1: guy in the next closest cover guy. I put him

809
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: on Jefferson. You know, it's crazy. It's like I was

810
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: thinking here how comfortable I was with like the depth

811
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: on defense and every you know, every spot. The only

812
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: one was maybe linebacker. But then you kind of address

813
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: that and you're like, thinkyo, we're good. But then now

814
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: we're just like, what are you should we should we

815
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: be allowing that one game to challenge our beliefs on

816
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: what we think of this defense's depth. I think so yeah.

817
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: I mean when you look at when you mentioned, for example,

818
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: Bland again going back to that kind of a point

819
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: of they've been good term players, including like Sam Williams,

820
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: I feel that they've been good when given the opportunity.

821
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: But Sprinkles of it. You know, Now, what does that

822
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: look like when you have them out there full time?

823
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: You know, So there's a difference there because of the

824
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: growth that there needs to happen, and when you're playing

825
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: at this level already in this part of the season,

826
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: you just you need that person to have it or

827
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: you don't. Yeah, but if not, you sprinkle them in

828
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: in rotations like that kind of led them because you

829
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: have to also rotate players. But right now, I mean,

830
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 1: I'm talking about players like even in the Sean Wright

831
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: you mentioned him that was someone that I was a

832
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: fan of even back at training camp, just because of

833
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: his physique, his all armed, his length, So those qualities

834
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: that you want in a player that you look for

835
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: and then how does that translate into when they're out

836
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: there playing? And just like it's maybe just the part

837
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: of not being at that level where you ideally want

838
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: them to be when you meet them to be at

839
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, but I guess the way I look

840
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: at it is you're still talking about a guy. You're

841
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: talking about guy? Is that where your fourth and fifth

842
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 1: cornerbacks now having to be your second and third cornerbacks.

843
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: That to me is not a depth issue because if

844
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: you had one of those guys, like for example, when

845
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: you lost when you lost Jordan Lewis, then everybody's sliding

846
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: up one spot. It didn't become an apparent problem, right,

847
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 1: It wasn't until you lost two of them, when you

848
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 1: lost him and Anthony Brown. Now you got a problem

849
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: because and that's gonna be on any team in the NFL.

850
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: You take your fourth and fifth cornerbacks and now making

851
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: your second and third cornerbacks, you're gonna have some issues

852
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: because there's a reason why they're fourth and fifth. To me,

853
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I don't know that the depth

854
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,479
Speaker 1: challenges anymore today than it was before. It's just they're

855
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: having to tap into guys and make them do more

856
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: than they're really capable of doing right now. Yeah, I mean,

857
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: and that's very similar to what happened at wide receiver

858
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: as well. Anytime you know, you're talking about Noah Brown

859
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: last year was the fifth receiver and now he's been

860
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: the third and at times he's been the number two,

861
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: and he's not ready for that difference those that was

862
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 1: self inflicted. True, Yeah, that's the only difference. It's self inflicted, right. Yeah,

863
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: they didn't they didn't address that and free agency like

864
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: they should have, and you know, and I don't know

865
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: what they're doing right now with with with James Washington.

866
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not sure why he's not there, you know,

867
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: and especially with Noah Brown catching one pass and Jalen Tolbert.

868
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: You know, he's ready, he's ready. Rossington is ready to play.

869
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: He's ready to play. And I'm pretty sure I don't

870
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: know exactly what he's gonna do in the route, but

871
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: I mean he'll line up right, just just so I

872
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: understand it. So the listeners out there understand, how's that

873
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: twenty one day thing? Where can you bring a guy

874
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: back immediately and not do the twenty one days? Yeah,

875
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: you just have twenty one days by which you can

876
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: have him start him. You have to start the window.

877
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 1: You can start the window and he can play immediate immediately.

878
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: He can play that week if you want to, or

879
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: he can go twenty one days and and he can.

880
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: You can do that, you know, and then he has

881
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 1: then something's got to happen either you know, he's got

882
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: to go back to IR or you gotta put him

883
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: on the roster. You don't have any inkling as to

884
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: why the whole why there's the hold up. I mean, well,

885
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 1: the only thing now we heard them saying from mccarth

886
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 1: that's the only thing. I don't know if you've heard

887
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 1: anything differently, was the whole thing of like timing. Why

888
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: it's how the schedule and the opponents and Thanksgiving and

889
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,439
Speaker 1: all that, how that looks likely and ideally you don't

890
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: want to bring a player back in with those kind

891
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: of weird schedules. Well, they're not practicing that much today,

892
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,240
Speaker 1: and so that's why the schedules a little bit different.

893
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: And that was because that's why they didn't do it

894
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: last week, because last week would have been one week.

895
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: This week's kind of weird, and then the third week

896
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: would have been the Thanksgiving week that's not even a

897
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: real week. So I mean, I don't know. I don't

898
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 1: care about all that stuff. I care about like they

899
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: need to start him. He needs to start practicing so

900
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: he can start to play, because it's a problem. Tolbert

901
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,760
Speaker 1: and Noel Brown aren't really giving them anything. And Michael

902
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: Gallup only a little bit. And I think Washington, you

903
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: signed him for a reason. I think he's got the depth.

904
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: I think he adds some depth. He had some playmaking ability,

905
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:05,839
Speaker 1: you know, he's a former second round pick. I think

906
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: he can. He can make some plays. You know what's

907
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: crazy now that I thought about it, I forgot like

908
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,240
Speaker 1: he actually has not practice right at all with this team.

909
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: Like if going back to training camp, he was struggling

910
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: with some injuries one day the second first day of

911
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: camp and that was it. That was it. So he

912
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: had also a problem here, right, Like, whenever you get

913
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: him back, you might need that full twenty one day

914
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: period and those practices because he literally has not practice. Yeah,

915
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,919
Speaker 1: and that's probably what they're thinking. Yeah, they're thinking, we gotta,

916
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: we gotta really utilize these twenty one days so we

917
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: can kind of get you know, implemented in the offense,

918
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,919
Speaker 1: which means you may not open that twenty one day

919
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: period and so you literally get into December. Yeah, and

920
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: you get that full week of practice and give him

921
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: twenty one days and you're hoping he can be back

922
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 1: and maybe give us something for the playoffs. Yeah, that's

923
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: pretty much how you have to think about at that point. Yeah,

924
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: if they don't sign other guys, you know, before then,

925
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 1: and even if you do, it's still he still could

926
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 1: play a role maybe, right. You know, they rotate the

927
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 1: receivers quite a bit. So maybe he does play a role.

928
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: And maybe that means Jayleen Tolber, just go sit down

929
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:09,439
Speaker 1: and just watch the rest of the year and we'll

930
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: figure out how we start growing you next year. Right.

931
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the penalty kind of rubbed me

932
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: the wrong way. But you know, maybe maybe he just

933
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: needs some time just to sit and maybe James Washington

934
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: allows you to allows him to do that. Yeah, he

935
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 1: doesn't have He's not he's not ready. He's not ready

936
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: to contribute. He's not scaring anyone. Um. I think he

937
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: plays some on special teams though, which which if like

938
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: James Washington comes in, I mean, I don't know if

939
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna do that. Noah Brown plays special pay I

940
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:41,439
Speaker 1: didn't know. I mean, at some point he gotta be thinking, yeah,

941
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: you need to be. He was never, I don't think

942
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 1: a starter for most of his career and plays burs Pittsburgh.

943
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,399
Speaker 1: He wasn't, which makes me think he probably was doing

944
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: some special teams there. But I don't I don't know

945
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: that for a fact. I don't know he played some.

946
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: He played some over there, I mean he I mean,

947
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: he played a lot of receiver. I don't know if

948
00:47:58,080 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: he was a starter, but you know they had they

949
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: had the four five different guys and he played a lot,

950
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: especially his second year, so I don't think he was

951
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: a regular on special team. Came all right, appreciate you guys,

952
