Man, 25 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 4: how you're doing so first regular season game as a 26 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 4: member of the Giants in this defense. 27 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 2: When you went back and you looked, how do you 28 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: think of win? 29 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, man, I think there was a lot to learn from. 30 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 5: Obviously we didn't end up giving a win, but I 31 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 5: think when you look overall as a team, there were 32 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 5: a couple of players that we wish we could have 33 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 5: got back, and so we go back and we looked 34 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 5: at the things we could have done better, things that 35 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 5: we have to improve on. 36 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 3: But I think we're feeling good and confident going in 37 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 3: the week two. 38 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 2: Now. 39 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 4: You got a lot of questions from the media about 40 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 4: traveling with Terry mclaurny. You did see him a lot 41 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 4: in that game. I imagine that's gonna be a week to 42 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 4: week thing, right, depending on the matchup, whether or not 43 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 4: you travel, it'll be left and right. And how you 44 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 4: guys are gonna set those matchups. 45 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, it just depends. You know, the receivers are going up. 46 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 5: Again, it's the kind of scheme they run, how the 47 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 5: receivers are being used, if they're in the slot, if 48 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 5: they're primarily outside. So all those things you know, the 49 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 5: coaches talk about and we'll talk about and decide what 50 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 5: to do from there. 51 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 4: Not even specifically to you, but it just in terms 52 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 4: of how the team is able to approach it. How 53 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 4: much does playing a guy like Jayden Daniel's impact how 54 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 4: you can play your coverage because you play a man 55 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 4: against a guy like that, it's you know, he can run, right, 56 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 4: he can gain all the yards in a scramble. So 57 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 4: how much just playing a guy like that impact just 58 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 4: how wide you're thick your coverage men you can be 59 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 4: given how he can hurt you with your legs? 60 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean's this is just an added element of 61 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 5: him being able to run and be a you know, prolific, 62 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 5: prolific runner. It just makes you have to be honest, 63 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 5: It makes it eleven eleven football. Right, You have to 64 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 5: a count for everybody. You have to count for the 65 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 5: quarterbacks legs, so certain things are a little bit more difficult, 66 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 5: you know, naturally. 67 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, we talked a little bit too 68 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 4: about how pass rush can help the secondary. Right, if 69 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 4: you guys think the pass rush is gonna get there, 70 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 4: you can sit on routes, you can anticipate a little bit, right, 71 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 4: But if they're mush rushing, you know, trying to contain him, right, 72 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 4: then get after the quarterback? Does that then impact them, 73 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 4: which impacts you and and kind of just change the 74 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 4: way you have to play defense overall. 75 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I maybe end time you're going up against 76 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 5: a mobile quarterback, you got to be prepared to cover 77 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 5: for a little bit longer. You got to be able to, 78 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 5: you know, cover the second and third routes. Right if 79 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 5: the guy scrambles and you know, the receiver breaks off 80 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 5: a route, you have to be prepared to cover the 81 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 5: second route. So it's just something that comes with a 82 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 5: quarterback just gonna be scrambling and stuff. 83 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 4: Are there things and ways you could only build chemistry 84 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 4: in a secondary in regular season games as opposed to 85 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 4: what you're doing in training camp and practice. So the 86 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 4: things that you guys need to go through in real 87 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 4: game situations to kind of build over the course of 88 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 4: the year in addition to what you do in the offseason. 89 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it just all comes together. 90 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 5: Off season work, training camp, all those things that you're 91 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 5: going through working through difficulties and trials and challenges together, 92 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 5: and the more challenges you kind of get to get 93 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 5: through together. The closer you become as a defense and 94 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 5: more you kind of know exactly what somebody would do 95 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 5: on a certain play. The communication just keeps getting better 96 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 5: and better. So I think in this league, it's just 97 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 5: a race to get better, right from week one to 98 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 5: week two, improve and just keep that going on. And 99 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 5: I think we're heading in the right direction. 100 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 4: How has this team bounced back after a tough loss emotionally? 101 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 4: You know, you guys are back on the practice field 102 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 4: on Wednesday. We'll recording this on Wednesday afternoon. How is 103 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 4: the team bounced back just from an emotional standpoint from 104 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 4: that top loss in Week one? 105 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's a long season. That's a good team. 106 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 5: We played and they did some things and we were 107 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 5: able to win the game against us. So we came 108 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 5: in confident. We're still confident, still still know what we 109 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 5: have as a team. Feeling really good about that. So 110 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 5: I think just coming back to work, like I said, 111 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 5: be objective about the performance, look at the things that 112 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 5: we could have did better. Of course, don't brush it off, 113 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 5: you know what I mean, But at the same time, 114 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 5: don't make it more than it is. So just look 115 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 5: at it for what it is. We lost, Okay, we 116 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 5: have to improve on some things. Let's improve and let's 117 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 5: get ready to go to Dallas. 118 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 4: When you get where you want to go, what do 119 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 4: you want either the personality or the playing style of 120 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,799 Speaker 4: the secondary specifically. 121 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 3: To be on this team? 122 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 6: Yeah? 123 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 5: I think as a secondary, just you know, setting a tone, 124 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 5: being dominant, having fun out there, flying around, playmaking ability right, 125 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 5: being able to get the ball and affect a quarterback. 126 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 5: All those things are going to help this team as 127 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 5: we move forward. 128 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 4: All right, you have two games against Dallas when you 129 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 4: were rookie in twenty twenty one, then you played them 130 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty four last year. I'm sure you started 131 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 4: to study them already. Even though Brian schottenheim Or was 132 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 4: their offensive coordinator last year, I thought their offense looked 133 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 4: very different then then under Mike McCarthy. As you start 134 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 4: to look at them, how many changes have you seen? 135 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 4: How much different is their offense schematically than what you 136 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 4: saw in your previous matchups? 137 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I played against them last year. It's 138 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 3: tough to tell in game one, right, you. 139 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 5: Don't have that much of a short body of work 140 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 5: to be able to see is something just so one 141 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 5: off or is that what they're doing going into this year. 142 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 5: So as you're you know, studying, you study everything right, 143 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 5: be honest and you know, make sure that you're whatever 144 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 5: we're playing, ready to read your keys and player correct technique. 145 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 5: So there's not too much as far as tendencies and stuff, right, 146 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 5: we can see certain things, but like I said, it 147 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 5: is week one, so you kind of got to be 148 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 5: honest and be prepared for everything. 149 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 4: But you know how Dak wants to play quarterback. You've 150 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 4: seen him. He's been in the leaf for a long time. 151 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,799 Speaker 4: He's thirty two years old, that had a lot of success. 152 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 4: What is it about Dak in the way he plays 153 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 4: quarterback that as a cornerback you have to be aware 154 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 4: of and ready for. 155 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Dak is a really good quarterback. 156 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 5: You can make every throw, he can extend plays right, 157 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 5: and so he has everything you needed to be a 158 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 5: really good quarterback in this league. 159 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 3: And that's what we've seen for you know, the duration 160 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 3: of his career. 161 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 5: So I think he has all the tools to to 162 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 5: make you as a corner just know that you know 163 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 5: he knows where to go right if you miss, you know, 164 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 5: if you miscommunicate or something, he'll be able to find it. 165 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 5: So I think just all that that that we've seen 166 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 5: throughout his career makes him somebody that you have to 167 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 5: really prepare for. 168 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 4: I feel like he's also a guy that's willing and 169 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 4: he wants to push the ball downfield even when there's 170 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 4: this is not necessarily a ton of separation too, right, 171 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 4: So you kind of always have to be ready. 172 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's a dB that's I mean, regardless 173 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 5: who you're playing, you're always ready for them to go deep, 174 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 5: You're always ready for every route. Really, you kind of 175 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 5: have to be on alert, regardless of sure who you're 176 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 5: playing or whatever, because as we know, all it takes 177 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 5: is one play to change the outcome of a game. 178 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 3: So you just always on alert. And like you said, 179 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 3: you can. 180 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 5: Make every throw, right, you can throw deep, intermediate, short routes, 181 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 5: check out of a play, So all those things he has, 182 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 5: and as. 183 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 3: A dB, you just have to really prepare for everything 184 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 3: that he can do. 185 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 4: All right, I'll take the receivers one by one. Let's 186 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 4: start with Ceedee Lamb. What makes him a little bit 187 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 4: unique in terms of his strengths and how you had 188 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 4: to deal with him as a cornerback? 189 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, cities, I mean like A said that. 190 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 5: I mean both of them, honestly are really good receivers 191 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 5: and they can do everything. They can catch the ball 192 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,679 Speaker 5: in contested situations, really good run after the catch, guys 193 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 5: that are looking to score and take a five yard 194 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 5: route and take it for a long way. So I 195 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 5: think you just got to be ready to tackle. You 196 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 5: gotta be ready to cover them. They could run every 197 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 5: route good speed on both of them, So a good 198 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 5: challenge going in a week two. 199 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 4: I want to go in one aspect of both both guys. 200 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 4: Ced is a guy that they will move into the 201 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 4: slot a lot, right. Why do you think he's a 202 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 4: guy that can be effective in the slot when he 203 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 4: has a two way go and maybe a little bit 204 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 4: more room to operate in there. 205 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, like. 206 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 5: I just said, with his ability to run after the catch, 207 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 5: right and get him moving and get him to know 208 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 5: some of those situations where he has the ball in 209 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 5: his hand and he can kind of start to make 210 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 5: something shake and prolong a play and get some yards 211 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 5: after contact. I think all those things are reasons why 212 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 5: you want to kind of get those guys the ball 213 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 5: in space. 214 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 4: You're a big, physical corner. George Picken's big physical wide receiver. 215 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 4: He's great at the catch point down the field catching 216 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 4: ball were maybe necessarily necessarily open, but he just just 217 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,559 Speaker 4: well to the ball in the air. As a corner, 218 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 4: when you're taking on a wide receiver like that, what 219 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 4: are some things you have to do to prevent some 220 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 4: of those contested catches from being completed. 221 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you gotta be ready to, you know, 222 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 5: play the ball on the air. They'd be ready to 223 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 5: be really physical, and he's a physical receiver at the 224 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 5: catch point, really disciplined and detailed in your technique whether 225 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 5: you're playing press or you're playing off. So you know, 226 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 5: like you say, it's a really good ability to track 227 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 5: the ball down the field and again be able to 228 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 5: run after the catch, So you got to be prepared 229 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 5: for that. 230 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 4: And then finally, their run game, corners obviously have to 231 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 4: be very involved in the run game. It seemed like 232 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 4: they're using a lot of pollers in that game, a 233 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 4: lot of guys coming around, They put guys in motion, 234 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 4: use them as lead blockers. What are some of the 235 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 4: challenges that you saw in terms of their run games schematically, 236 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 4: and they're also using a bunch of different players in 237 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 4: the run game as well. Including Kubante Turpin's kind of 238 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 4: they do everything gay. 239 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. 240 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 5: I mean they got they got some good guys and 241 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 5: they're run hard, you know, running backs and stuff, so 242 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 5: you gotta be ready to come up and tackle. 243 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 3: I think that's kind of every week. 244 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 5: You know, you kind of prepare that way and know 245 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 5: that if you're not technically sound right, things can break. 246 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 5: So you just you know you're ready to play your 247 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 5: technique and play to your strengths. 248 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 4: Paulson, good stuff man, appreciate the time, dude, and good 249 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 4: luck Agains Dallas. 250 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 3: Hey you rev. 251 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 4: The Giants gundation'll hosts a five K racing kids run 252 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 4: presented by a Quest on Sunday, October twenty sixth at 253 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 4: nine am and MetLife Stadium.

Okay, So Brian, what were you able 293 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 4: to take out of that Cowboys first game against Philadelphia? 294 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 4: And I guess I'll start here. It seemed very different 295 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 4: to me on both sides of the ball, So I 296 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 4: guess I want to start there. What should Giant fans 297 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 4: be prepared for in terms of how this team just 298 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 4: operates now differently on both offense and defense with the 299 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 4: new coaching staff. 300 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, it really does, you know, Matt Eberflus. On the 301 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 7: defensive side of the ball, they went in with the 302 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 7: whole idea of really just trying to rush for against 303 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 7: this Philadelphia offensive line, which you know is a daunting task, 304 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 7: especially without Mike Parsons being there. So uh, you know, 305 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 7: it came down to they really weren't getting pressure. They 306 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 7: had to bring more pressure. You know, you started to 307 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 7: see some slot blitz his corner blitzes, you know, the 308 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 7: linebacker blitzes. He was having to do something to manufacture 309 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 7: some pressure. But what's really unique John is he played 310 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 7: zone coverage behind it, you know, really the majority of 311 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 7: the football game. And if you're one of those guys 312 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 7: and gals that believes in metrics and you like to say, okay, 313 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 7: well what's the one thing that gives you know, Jalen 314 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 7: Hurts trouble, it would be zone coverage and they sat 315 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 7: in it the whole night. They got him to hold 316 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 7: the football, you know they had with Digs playing, that 317 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 7: surely helped the situation. Bland Elam, you know it was 318 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 7: in training camp, it was it was it was a 319 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 7: big question mark would Digs be back to be able 320 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 7: to help clearly the secondary. They you know, Hooker the 321 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 7: safety played well, Donovan Wilson playing down in the box 322 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 7: played well, but they primarily sat in like a covered 323 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 7: two shell and it just played zone defense and dared 324 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 7: Jalen Hurts to make some throws and you know, the 325 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 7: secondary held up. They got enough pressure and that seemed 326 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 7: to work out very very well. I think the Eagles 327 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 7: were compromising a couple of their offensive line spots and 328 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 7: you know, Dallas was able to take advantage of that. 329 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 7: But overall, I think the defense it was especially after 330 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 7: the weather delay, you know the first part. You know, 331 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 7: you felt like that Jalen Hurts running around. Uh, you know, 332 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 7: they had some guys that Donovan Azaraku. You know, you 333 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 7: and I talked about him out of Boston College when 334 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 7: you and I visit every year about the draft, and 335 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 7: you know we talked about, hey, how we liked this guy. 336 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 7: And then you know, it was really a very eye 337 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 7: opening experience for him having to deal with Jordan mile Lootta. 338 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 5: Uh. 339 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 7: You know, it was no easy task, but uh, you 340 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 7: know it's it's that it's those experiences. But Dallas defensively 341 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 7: like they were, you know, they they had to do 342 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 7: some things pressure wise to make up for Parsons and 343 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 7: offensively though for a half, Uh yeah, I felt like that. 344 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 7: You know, Dallas did a pretty solid job of moving 345 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 7: the football. They're the motions, uh, you know, getting guys 346 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 7: in the backfield, putting running backs and that are to 347 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 7: be putting receivers in the backfield, you know, moving things around. 348 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 7: I thought Dak Prescott had one of his better games 349 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 7: when it came to throwing the ball. But then the 350 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 7: weather delay hit and then all of a sudden, things 351 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 7: kind of there was no more motion. There was really 352 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 7: no more you know, of getting guys you know open. 353 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 7: It just kind of reverted back to like when Mike 354 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 7: McCarthy was calling place, so, you know, defense. 355 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 2: It was funny. It was really a game of two hats. 356 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 7: You really don't know is Dallas's defense is good or 357 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 7: is bad depending on which half they played, And is 358 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 7: Dallas's offense is good or bad depending on which half 359 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 7: of football you watch. 360 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 4: How do you think that? I'm sorry, Brian, you mentioned 361 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 4: how they handled hurts and playing a lot of zone right, 362 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 4: they kept down and Smith in front of them. How 363 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 4: do you think they're gonna approach the Giants now, who 364 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 4: don't have the same They don't have the two wide 365 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 4: receivers that that the Eagles have, but they certainly have 366 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 4: league neighbors who is as good as anyone. Are they 367 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 4: gonna double him? Are they just gonna sit in their 368 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 4: zone and make Russell Wilson just you know, play in 369 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 4: front of the defense instead of trying to go over 370 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 4: the top what he wants to do. How do you 371 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 4: think they approached the Giants passing it? 372 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think this is where I can maybe help 373 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 7: your listeners here, John the if you initially, Matt Everfluse 374 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 7: was a Rob Ryan Disciples, so he was a What 375 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 7: that meant was he played three four, played a lot 376 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 7: of man coverage and sometimes played with ten men on 377 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 7: the field because they didn't always get all the personnel 378 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 7: onto the field when they needed to, which is a 379 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 7: Rob Ryan special. 380 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 2: But they he He then stayed. 381 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 7: Over when Rod Marinelli came on board, and there was 382 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 7: a couple of different times where the Cowboys faced the 383 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 7: Seattle Seahawks with Russell Wilson playing quarterback. And then it 384 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 7: turned into Rod Marinelli's philosophy to playing Russell Wilson was 385 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 7: make him play out of the well, try and build 386 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 7: that around him and make him play backwards. Don't let 387 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 7: Russell Wilson come forward to make throws. Make him have 388 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 7: to play backwards and try and throw over the top 389 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 7: of your of your your your rush pressure up the 390 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 7: what you're saying, Yeah, they're trying to the big thing, 391 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 7: and I promise you you're going to see you know, 392 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 7: you're going to see Kenny Clark. I would not again, 393 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 7: I'm saying, I would not be surprised to see Kenny 394 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 7: Clark and then trying to isolate him with John Michael 395 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 7: Smith's the center and see if John Michael Smith's if 396 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 7: you attack his snap hand, can he get his off 397 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 7: hand up quick enough and can he handled power? 398 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 2: You know? 399 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 7: And that was a you know, Cam Jurgens was having 400 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 7: some problems with that last week, you know. And so 401 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 7: we'll see. I think it's going to be a lot 402 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 7: of trying to match some guys up one on one. 403 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 7: Make Russell Wilson. And one thing that Russ likes to 404 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 7: do is is to escape through the middle of the pocket, 405 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 7: you know. So he will, he will go back, he 406 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 7: will get really small, he will duck and the next 407 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 7: thing you know, he's coming out of there running the football. 408 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 7: So Dallas, I don't think they played. And I've talked 409 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 7: to my colleagues about this quite a bit. As a 410 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 7: matter of fact, I even asked Matty Eberflu's tech because 411 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 7: I you know, I know Matt pretty well. I'd say, hey, 412 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 7: wait a minute, if you're not going to play, if 413 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 7: you're not going to play spy coverage against Jalen Hurts, 414 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,479 Speaker 7: are you going to play spy coverage against you know, 415 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 7: Russell Wilson did. 416 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,719 Speaker 2: I didn't get an answer back on that one. So 417 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 2: we'll see, We'll see how things play out. 418 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 7: But I have a feeling they're going to try and 419 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 7: attack the middle of the pocket again, That's what Matt Eberflus, 420 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 7: He's going to take this Rod Marinelli approach, try and 421 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 7: make him play out of the. 422 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 4: Well anything plays zone behind that. 423 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 2: I think they're going to try and play some zone 424 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 2: behind that. 425 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 7: I that surprises the hell out of me, you know, 426 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 7: depending on what you get too, because it looks like 427 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 7: to me watching your tab a little bit, john that 428 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 7: that neighbors and Robertson are kind of like your motion guys, 429 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 7: you know, Johnson the tight end, a little bit of 430 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 7: a motion guy. 431 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 2: You know. How does you know? Will you know? 432 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 7: It seemed like the ball was going in this particular game, 433 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 7: was going more to the outside, outside the numbers than 434 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 7: it was going down the field. But I I have 435 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 7: a feeling if you watch the one big play that 436 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 7: el gets gave up was one. They went vertical and 437 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 7: and Smith was able to hold Hooker the safety in 438 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 7: the middle of the field, and you know that got 439 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 7: dots and down the field one on one with Elam 440 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 7: and they were able to make that. So I I 441 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 7: anticipated the ball going down the field, but I didn't 442 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 7: see a whole lot of balls going into the into 443 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 7: the middle of the field on some crossing stuff and 444 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 7: all that. I don't know if the Giants will want 445 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 7: to try and do that, but I did see a 446 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 7: lot of balls going to the outside, and you know, 447 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 7: maybe that's what the Cowboys are going to try and do. 448 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 2: Make it Russell throw the ball to the outside. 449 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, Russy, he doesn't access the 450 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 4: middle of the field a ton Brian. He just never has, 451 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 4: you know. And I think he's shouveled, you know, he's 452 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 4: a little smaller getting. 453 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 2: It over the head, little smaller, lit shorter. 454 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, I think that's a big part of it. 455 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 4: I'm with you. Final question that was secondary, how healthy 456 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 4: his digs? Are you going to see a snap count 457 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 4: kind of and continue to increase and and how did 458 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 4: elm look you know this offseason he's kind of a 459 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 4: cast off and then they're putting a lot of faith 460 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 4: in them. They're just kind of rolling him out there 461 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 4: after the bills basically like let them let him go. 462 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 7: Yeah, that was That was one of those where and 463 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 7: we've seen this before, John, You and I have done 464 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 7: this a long time. When it comes to drafting, it's 465 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 7: sometimes you get the general manager and the scouts level 466 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 7: player and the coaches are like, why the hell did 467 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 7: you draft that guy for us? And I I think 468 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 7: he needed a I think he needed a breath of 469 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 7: fresh air. Uh. He came in with the OTAs the 470 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 7: mini camps when we had the access to watch practice, 471 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 7: he would come with down with an interception, He came 472 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 7: down with a batted ball or two. 473 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 8: Uh. 474 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 7: Then he got to training camp. I watched twelve practices. 475 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 7: Of the twelve practices, I saw he had three interceptions 476 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 7: and not just not just off Joe Milton being silly. 477 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 7: He had a couple of interceptions off Dak Prescott being silly. 478 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 2: So you know that's you know, he played well. He 479 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 2: got to start. Uh. Diggs is now no longer on 480 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 2: a pitch count. 481 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 7: You know, Diggs that there was a lot of gnashing 482 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 7: of teeth. You know where where you know, Diggs worked 483 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 7: on his own, he was with his trainers, he rehabbed 484 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 7: on his own. And but to his credit, Uh, and 485 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 7: we were after Uh, don't you know, we were we 486 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 7: were we were going after it pretty strong, I know 487 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 7: on the media side of things here in Dallas. And Uh, 488 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 7: but he came back. He was ready and played, played, 489 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 7: played some snaps in that game. But he's given been 490 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 7: given full medical clearance. My anticipation is that you'll see 491 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 7: dig start. You also see Uh, You'll also see Bland 492 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 7: and then also Elin potentially, well he'll be off the bench, 493 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 7: but when they go to Nickel, Elan will be in 494 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 7: the game and they'll kick Bland to the inside, is 495 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 7: what you'll see. 496 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 4: Now that makes sense, all right, Let's jump to the 497 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 4: offensive side of the ball real quick, Brian. I thought 498 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 4: the running game looked completely different than when we saw 499 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 4: under Mike McCarthy. 500 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 6: Uh. 501 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 4: A couple double le blocker plays. He had the belly 502 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 4: back on the tight end to cut off the backside 503 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 4: a couple of times. I thought it was some pretty 504 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 4: fun creative stuff. And I thought, frankly, they got better 505 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 4: movement than I seen them get a couple of years. 506 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 4: In that run game. 507 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, we threw a lot of dirt on Williams at 508 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 2: running back. We really really weren't sure. 509 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 7: I know, the fans were screaming for uh, for Jaydon Blue, 510 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 7: the fifth round pick out of Texas. You know, oh, 511 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 7: you know he would have done this and he would 512 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 7: have done that, and then you know, then coach tells 513 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 7: us that, well, he he doesn't do this and he 514 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 7: doesn't do that when they're getting ready for the game, 515 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 7: you know, so uh, you know, the better practice habits, 516 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 7: better meeting habits, all those things. I would anticipate that 517 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,719 Speaker 7: that Blue will probably be inactive again this week, so 518 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 7: he'll be you know, it would be Williams, He'll be 519 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 7: Sanders and then Hunter Lipkey as that kind of that 520 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 7: h full back one back runner. Williams ran the ball 521 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 7: extremely tough. 522 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 6: Uh. 523 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 7: You know, it helped the fact that, you know, Philadelphia 524 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 7: was down one of their better defensive tackles in the game. 525 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 2: But for overall, though, the. 526 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 7: Combination blocks that you were getting with Booker and you 527 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 7: were getting with bbi U, you know, there was some 528 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 7: backside blocks that you know on the long forty nine 529 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 7: yard run where Terrence Steele was able to get from 530 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 7: right tackle all the way across the field and get 531 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 7: a block. 532 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 2: Uh you know they're there. That's what they're going to 533 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 2: kind of do. 534 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 7: This is the first time in a long time we've 535 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 7: seen the Dallas Cowboys where they were plays or looked 536 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 7: like they're going to be stopped at the line of scrimmage. 537 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 7: Dallas got some really good movement in this game. I 538 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 7: mean they loaded up and you know, and you mentioned 539 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 7: there was a couple of times where uh, span Ford 540 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 7: the big tight end, him and Geiiton were double team 541 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 7: on a goal line play. They crashed the end down 542 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 7: and haul the end. They crash him inside, they get 543 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 7: a pull around from Tyler Smith to clean up, and 544 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 7: then Williams just takes the ball and just you know, 545 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 7: runs it right up the gut and they were able 546 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 7: to get you know, we hadn't seen that well. There 547 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 7: was there's times where this team would get stopped at 548 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 7: the line of scrimmage, behind the line of scrimmage. Not 549 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 7: through week one. They were able to get pushed. A 550 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 7: lot of the contact came beyond the line of scrimmage. 551 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 7: So that's something they're going to continue to try and 552 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 7: build on. 553 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 4: Obviously it wasn't perfect. Then there was no Jalen Carter. 554 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 4: But what do you think about this young offensive line 555 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 4: group with with a big you know, spotlight on Guidon 556 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 4: and Bookers specically in past. 557 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, this will be a challenge for Guy and 558 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 7: Steel this week. And there'll be a challenge for for 559 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 7: bb and and also for Booker. And you know, I 560 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 7: think that Dallas is better equipped to handle teams. And 561 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 7: I say handle, and I mean that respectfully with what 562 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 7: the Giants have, what the Commanders have, what the Eagles have. 563 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 7: If you're light inside three, you're gonna struggle in this division, 564 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 7: and you know you've gotta And I was watching your 565 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 7: tape against the Commanders. I was watching Tyler Biads try 566 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 7: and block. I mean, it's it's tough if you do not. 567 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 7: If you do not handle these defensive tackles in this league, 568 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 7: it's very very difficult to move the football. And Dallas 569 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 7: did a pretty nice job of that last week. And 570 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 7: I say they're a power gap scheme team. Uh, They're 571 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 7: gonna push, and they're gonna push to the second level. 572 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 7: That's kind of what they do. And uh, you know, 573 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 7: if they play against the team that plays with a 574 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 7: little bit more quickness than power, Uh, that kind of 575 00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 7: gives them a little bit of problems. They had some 576 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 7: problems with some twist stunts up front. You know, it's 577 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 7: you got some young guys and when you're talking about 578 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 7: Bbie and then you're talking about Booker, you know, Tyler 579 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 7: Smith is a Pro Bowl type player at guard, but 580 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 7: Dallas is better equipped to handle things. The thing that 581 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 7: we were really surprised about here in Dallas was how 582 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 7: will Geydon played. Because Geyton had a really good start 583 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 7: to training camp and then he got injured and then 584 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 7: he was gone, and the questions were were you going 585 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 7: to were you're going to play Nate Thomas at tackle 586 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 7: considering he had done all the work there and then 587 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 7: you know, Geydon was working rehabbing. Well, you know, Geyton 588 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 7: got a few practices under this belt. The coach and staff, 589 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 7: medical staff felt good about it, and they put him 590 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 7: out there. He's a much different player than he was 591 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 7: last year. He's better equipped to He's always been a 592 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 7: pretty good athlete, but he's developed some strength. His knee 593 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 7: been as much better, hand placement is much better. He's 594 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 7: not perfect by any means, but he looks a whole 595 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 7: lot different than he did last year. 596 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 2: At this time. 597 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 4: All right, final question, Dak Prescotte the passing game. I 598 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 4: thought Dak played as well as you could play in 599 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 4: that game. Even though he finished with under two hundred 600 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 4: yards and no touchdowns, I still thought he'd played great. Obviously, 601 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 4: the Ceede Lamb drops didn't help. George Pickens didn't do 602 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 4: a Tony did draw that defensive pass interference penalty. What 603 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 4: do you think that Cowboys passing game is going to 604 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 4: look like this week in terms of how they're going 605 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 4: to try to attack this giant secondary. 606 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, you gotta be able to I gotta be able 607 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 7: to block this giant front. You gotta be able to 608 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 7: start with blocking those edges, you know, and that's gonna 609 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 7: be the key for Dallas. And this one blocked the 610 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 7: edges and to make sure you just don't let the 611 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 7: inside guys hurt you as well. But yeah, Dak did 612 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,959 Speaker 7: a really nice job. Did not get sacked in this 613 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 7: last game. His his his mobility, his awareness. Uh, he 614 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 7: put some some balls into some spots where they should 615 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 7: have been caught. And I'm not just talking about Ceedee Lamb. 616 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 7: I'm talking about Jake, Jake Ferguson, who is a very 617 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 7: reliable tight end he caught went up the scene that 618 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 7: you know, nine times out of ten that's a touchdown, 619 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 7: and in that case, it didn't end up to be 620 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 7: a touchdown and it cost him, you know, ultimately in 621 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 7: the game. So yeah, Dak is very very confident. I 622 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 7: don't think, correct me if I'm wrong, John, I don't 623 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 7: think he's lost the Giants since twenty sixteen. 624 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 4: Since his rookie year, he has not cast the Dallas 625 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 4: Giants have not won in Dallas since twenty sixteen either. 626 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 7: So yeah, there, yeah, that was that was what I 627 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 7: think it was Dak's first game, if I'm not mistaken. 628 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 2: If I'm right about that, I believe it was. 629 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 7: Yes, And so yeah, that was had a couple losses 630 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 7: that that year, and both of them were the Giants. 631 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 2: What do you know. 632 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 7: But yeah, it's Uh, he's played very well against the Giants. 633 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 7: As we've just talked about. He's he's a very confident 634 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 7: quarterback right now. He's got his health. Uh, he's happy 635 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 7: with that. I think he's in a really good spot mentally. 636 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 7: They've got to get George Pickens going though, by the way, 637 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,719 Speaker 7: and that's one of the things that we talked about 638 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 7: quite a bit that the offense, the demise of the 639 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 7: offense after the weather delay, where was George Pickens. Yeah, 640 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 7: the ball was going to ceedee lamb and stuff like that. 641 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 7: But when you mentioned George Pickens creating opportunities, creating pass 642 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 7: interference penalties, George Pickens needs to be involved.

I guess earlier were trying to know. I 706 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 4: feel Kenny Clark played pretty well. 707 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 7: Kenny Clark played well, yeah, and I went back and 708 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 7: just just watching you I'm sick. I went and watched 709 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 7: Michaeh Parsons on tape and he had. 710 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 2: A pretty good day. I can't wait. 711 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 7: They got the Commanders tomorrow and I and I can't 712 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 7: wait to see how that all works out. But yeah, really, 713 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 7: it just, you know, the whole of the Michaeh Parsons thing, 714 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 7: It really came down to I think that I think 715 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 7: with Michaeh Parsons decided he wanted to go get the 716 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 7: second opinion on his back. I think that's when the 717 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 7: Cowboys said kind of had enough. I think that's when 718 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 7: they they said, listen, we are MRIs. Say that you're okay. 719 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 7: And obviously, if you watch the Packers game, he looked 720 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 7: more than all right to me, he looked bigger, he 721 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 7: looks stronger, He looked there's a lot of a lot 722 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 7: of good with Michaeh Parsons, and he looks really healthy 723 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 7: and fresh. No training, can't practice to deal with my 724 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 7: man was out there causing the havoc. 725 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's a hey. 726 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 7: You know, we're a city that likes to trade our 727 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 7: generational players.

Obviously, you 757 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 4: got called into probably a little bit more work than 758 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 4: you expected in week one. What was that like, having 759 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 4: to quickly get out there onto the field and kind 760 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 4: of lock in very quickly. 761 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 9: It was nice and it's exactly what we prepare for 762 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 9: this next man of mentality. When my number was called, 763 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 9: you know, I was just ready to go in there 764 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 9: and execute. But uh, unfortunately we didn't come out with 765 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 9: a win. But I felt like I just went out 766 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 9: there and just tried my best, did what I could, 767 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 9: uh contribute contribute to the team on both I was 768 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 9: playing both special teams and and defense at the time, 769 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 9: and so uh, just going out there and trying to 770 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 9: execute the game plan was what I really was trying 771 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 9: to be. 772 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,479 Speaker 4: Before we move onto the Cowboys. When you look back 773 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 4: and you go get the rush defense, specifically against the 774 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,239 Speaker 4: running backs, I want to take the quarterback scrambles out 775 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 4: of it. 776 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 3: How do you think the rush defense did overall? 777 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 9: Yeah, a decent job. Obviously, you know, the end goal didn't, 778 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 9: you know, happened how we how we wanted to. But 779 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 9: I felt like we did a decent job. There's areas 780 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 9: of improvement everywhere all over the ball, you know, both 781 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 9: on the d line, the linebackers, the secondary and all that. 782 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 9: So you know, we just got to come in, have 783 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 9: a better game plan, you know, and and just execute 784 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 9: the game plank going coming into this uh this week Dallas, 785 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 9: you know, they they really want uh they emphasize their physicality, 786 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 9: so we just want to match that being be able 787 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 9: to go up Monoling model with these guys. 788 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 4: So obviously Bin Scheinheimer was their last year as the 789 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 4: offensive coordinator. But I thought their offense looked very different 790 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 4: in Week one than it looked last year. When you 791 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 4: looked at it in what ways do you think it 792 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,479 Speaker 4: looked a little bit different, specifically in the way they 793 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 4: were trying to run the football. 794 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 9: Yeah, just physical, physical brand of football that that they're 795 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 9: playing over there, and you know you gotta respect it. 796 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 9: So we were gonna coach and get to make the 797 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 9: game plan for us be able to stop the run, 798 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 9: stop the shots.

Learnmore on Moody's dot com. 821 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 4: Now we turn our attention to the head coach of 822 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,919 Speaker 4: the NYG, Brian Dable. The voice of the NYG, Bob 823 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 4: Papa had the chance to talk to him. Let's listen in. 824 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 8: As always, we're joined by the head coach of the 825 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 8: New York Giants, Brian Dables. The Giants take on the 826 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 8: Cowboys here in Dallas, week two of the National Football 827 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,879 Speaker 8: League season, and coaches get ready to play another road 828 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 8: division game. Just talk a little bit about the messaging 829 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,879 Speaker 8: last week to your football team after you reviewed what 830 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,280 Speaker 8: happened in Washington and sort of what the team team's 831 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 8: attitude was going back to work this week. 832 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, you go through the keys that you talked. 833 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,800 Speaker 6: About before the game, and some of those we certainly 834 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 6: didn't hit. And you get ready to go play another 835 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 6: game against a good team that played Philadelphia well, right mindset, 836 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,359 Speaker 6: good preparation habits, good practice habits, and go out there 837 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 6: and play good game. 838 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 8: Despite not having the results that you were looking for. Obviously, 839 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 8: there were things in the game that you look at 840 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 8: where there were chances, right, there were things you guys 841 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 8: put yourselves in certain positions. Do you try to accentuate 842 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 8: along with correcting whatever mistakes for me, but also accentuate 843 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 8: some positive things like, hey, look these things were good 844 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 8: here and just a little of this or a little 845 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 8: of that and we have a different result. 846 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 847 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 6: I think every play is a very very important play 848 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 6: in the game, and you try to win as many 849 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 6: of those plays as you can and play good in 850 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 6: situational football and then take advantage of opportunities. You know, 851 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 6: that's tackling on defense fundamentals, bob tackling throws and catches 852 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 6: one on one opportunities, controlling the line of scrimmage, getting 853 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 6: movement in the run game, containing the quarterback, all those 854 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 6: type of things. So you know, you go through a 855 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 6: number of plays, some good, some not as good, and 856 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 6: make sure you get the corrections. 857 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 8: All right, let's talk about Dallas defensively. They did a 858 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 8: good job last week limiting Sakuon Barkley when they played them. Obviously, 859 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 8: Jellen Hurts was a big factor using his legs, but 860 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 8: they added Kenny Clark to the mix. I think Osa 861 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,280 Speaker 8: Diggy Zoo is a pretty underrated player Neilan was active 862 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 8: in the game. What are some of the things about 863 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 8: their front and Ibra Flus's defense that are things that 864 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,280 Speaker 8: you'll have to keep your eye on today. 865 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd say it starts with those two inside players, 866 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 6: Osa and Kenny, both very good football players, good at 867 00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 6: controlling the line of scrimmage in the run game. Flus 868 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 6: you know, does a good job with you know, adding 869 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 6: you another guy to the box, running through gaps, movement 870 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 6: at times, secondary pressures at times, which he did in 871 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 6: quite a bit in the second half, or should I 872 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 6: say more than he did in the first half. So look, 873 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:22,320 Speaker 6: they got they got a good players, They're fast, and 874 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 6: I'm sure they'll be trying to get the football again. 875 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 6: That's a trademark of of coach. He Refluce's defense and 876 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 6: that was really you know, a big play in the 877 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 6: game there where they had one turnover and Philly didn't 878 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:32,439 Speaker 6: have any. 879 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 8: They also had a Dante Fowler back in the mix. Obviously, 880 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 8: you saw him twice last year with Washington. He's played 881 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 8: for the Cowboys before. You know, what are some of 882 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 8: the things as far as his bag that you that 883 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 8: are still impressive as he's in his eleventh year. 884 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, athletic quarterback that knows how to get after the passer, 885 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 6: got a variety of pass rush moves and does a 886 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,720 Speaker 6: good job when you run it at him of playing 887 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:06,240 Speaker 6: the run, so you know him Williams. They got Salomon 888 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:10,360 Speaker 6: Thomas Beck who's a crafty veteran Sambor who knows Flew's 889 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 6: defense real well. Diggs Bland, we'll see where he's at, 890 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 6: who I think is a two exceptional corners when it 891 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 6: plays inside, when it plays outside in Nickel so be 892 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 6: a challenging, challenging day. 893 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 8: Let's go to the other side of the ball where 894 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 8: Dak Prescott. You know, the numbers may not jump off 895 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 8: the chart from last week. I thought he played a 896 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,719 Speaker 8: really good football game through it accurately. They just didn't 897 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 8: make some plays when they had an opportunity. You know, 898 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 8: he's thirty two now, he's been in the league ten years. 899 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 8: What's the growth been in him? And what did you 900 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,319 Speaker 8: see in him kicking off his tenth season last week? 901 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 8: That jumped out a. 902 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 6: Well, he's a good quarterback. He makes good decisions, he 903 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:57,280 Speaker 6: throws the ball well, accurately, gives his skilled players opportunities 904 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:01,840 Speaker 6: to make plays. Tough, smart, have a lot of respect 905 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 6: for Dak and the way he's played throughout his entire career. 906 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 6: He's a good quarterback. 907 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 8: They added Pickens to the mix. You played against him 908 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 8: last year when he was in Pittsburgh, obviously, ceedee Lamb. 909 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 3: You know he's he's been an. 910 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 8: Incredible player, four straight Pro Bowls. What makes the addition 911 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,839 Speaker 8: of Pickings make them much more difficult to deal with? 912 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 6: Well, he's he's a good outside receiver. He's big, he's 913 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 6: got exceptional hands, does a great job of balls down 914 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 6: in the field with late hands and you know, making 915 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 6: tough catches. You know, she have to defend the whole field. 916 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 6: You know, a guy like Pickens and CD and you 917 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,879 Speaker 6: know they're using i'd say turping a little bit more. 918 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 6: Who's dynamic with the ball in his hands, whether it's 919 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 6: a returner or you get to him in offense, which 920 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 6: they're trying to do a little bit. And Ferguson, who 921 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,880 Speaker 6: I think is a really good tight end in this league, 922 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 6: complete tight end, and there's not a lot of those guys. 923 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, Although there was a change in head coach in Dallas, 924 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 8: obviously Schottenhammer was the offensive coordinator. Have you seen any 925 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 8: wrinkles or did you see any wrinkles in Week one 926 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 8: as far as how they're utilizing CD LAMB or is 927 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 8: it you know, moving them all over the place and 928 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 8: kind of the same as it's been in the past. 929 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, I've known Brian for a long time. He's he's 930 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 6: a heck of a football coach. But he had a 931 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:30,320 Speaker 6: good plan. I think the trademark for Shati you know 932 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,439 Speaker 6: when I was with him back fifteen years ago, whatever 933 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,399 Speaker 6: it may be, is you know, preaching the physicality part 934 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:39,760 Speaker 6: of the game, and I thought that showed particularly upfront 935 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 6: with their offensive lineman. You know, they had two thick 936 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 6: guards rookie out of Alabama Booker who's big and stout, 937 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 6: and Tyler Smith one of the best in the game, 938 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 6: and BB Smart, and you know they had to control 939 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 6: the line of scrimmage. They had a Tamante you know 940 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 6: runner out of North Carolina that was a Denver who's 941 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 6: got positive plays and does a good job of reading 942 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:03,320 Speaker 6: the run, run where it needs to be. And again, 943 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 6: Brian is a good football coach who's going to do 944 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 6: what he thinks he needs to do each and every week. 945 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 6: But I'd say the physical part of it is definitely 946 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 6: a trademark of Coach Shotheimmer. 947 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 8: You know you mentioned the tackling Williams is. Although he's 948 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 8: not tall, I mean, he's pretty sturdy, and we saw 949 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 8: that last week where first shots not necessarily getting him down. 950 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,440 Speaker 8: Is that something that you know is a must in 951 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 8: this game as far as guys rallying to the ball. 952 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,319 Speaker 6: Absolutely, and that's one of the things I thought we 953 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:39,359 Speaker 6: did improved was our tackling the first game. And that's 954 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:44,360 Speaker 6: going to be no different you know with CD, with Williams, 955 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 6: certainly with Turpin, guys that can make plays with the 956 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 6: balls in their hand and make guys miss and create 957 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 6: extra hours and explosives in that regard. So not just 958 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 6: a technique of tackling, but the amount of people that 959 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,319 Speaker 6: we have to the ball to get these players down. 960 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:01,760 Speaker 8: Coach, we appreciate a couple of minutes. 961 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 4: Thanks Pop, We thank Brian Dable, We thank Darius moussou, 962 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 4: We thank Brian brought us, and we thank Paulson Adebo 963 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 4: for joining us on this week's edition of The Giants 964 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 4: Little Podcast.
