Welcome to the latest edition of 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.280 The Break, and I have got a really special surprise 0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:51.479 for you guys out there listening. I actually, when I 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:55.840 put together this mashup of hosts on the different shows, 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:57.960 the one thing I wanted to do on this show, 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.560 Cowboys Break, was I wanted to people I thought probably 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:04.920 had some of the most diverse opinions of our entire 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.280 staff and put them together and then just like toss 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:10.160 the ball up in there and let y'all go just like. 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.080 The That's exactly what I've done. 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.759 We've got Danny McCrae from Players Lounge, We've got Nick 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.320 Harris from Talking Cowboys, got John Michold also from Talking Cowboys, 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:21.240 and it's time to step up. You guys are now 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:23.640 in the big leagues and so we can get this 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:27.760 thing rolling. I do want to start first with a 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:32.440 big picture, really big picture question. After six weeks, six games, 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:36.039 give me just your biggest storyline you think that's surrounding 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.440 this team at this point of the season heading into 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:41.360 the by after what McCarthy calls the first trimester. 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:45.040 Starr with you, John, Probably I was gonna say a 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.080 stale offense, but there was a little bit of a 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.960 heartbeat in Los Angeles, so I'll say a somewhat stale offense. 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:51.760 That's my thing. 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:53.440 I mean, there's been up and downs with the defense, 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.600 but it's it's the offense, like where Yeah, obviously it 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.440 can't be what it is right now. When you play 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.360 the Eagles multiple times and get to the playoffs, it 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.520 has to get much better. So can they continue building 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.200 on where they are right now? I would think that 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:09.760 at the bare minimum, they have to get something going 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:11.960 in the run game for that to happen. So that 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.919 would be my overarching storyline because going into this season 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:17.480 that was gonna be the big thing. Was you know, 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.640 no Kellen Moore and Mike McCarthy's calling the plays, how's 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.919 it gonna look. And the way the season started, you're like, well, 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.080 this complimentary football thing, nobody else knows how to do. 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.880 This seems like it's pretty easy here. But yeah, it's 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.160 it's definitely getting that offense going and how's it gonna look. 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.880 So for me, it's inconsistency. That's that's been the thing. 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:35.840 You never know what team you're gonna get every Sunday 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:37.880 each week. It's like a Jekyll and Hyde and you 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.080 typically know about halfway through the first quarter. It's like, Okay, 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.040 this is the team that they came with today, or 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:43.880 it's oh, this is the team they came with today. 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:47.160 So there's got to be a level of consistency, especially 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.239 with the opponents that you mentioned that they got coming 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.240 up out of the break. You know, you got Rams Eagles. 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.000 You know, it doesn't get easier, and then later in 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.679 the season Buffalo Miami. You have to have consistent team 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.160 on both sides of the ball to play against those 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.680 type of opponents. So for me, it's insist See why, 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:02.399 there is a lot of negatives that you can draw 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:04.280 out of these first six weeks. So you're still foreign 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.520 two and I think that's probably a best case scenario, 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.440 considering how they've played in some of these games. 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:14.600 Yeah, mine is the lack of what I expected from 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.639 being from bringing in Brandon Cooks, having Ceedee Lamb going 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.400 into this year, hearing what I heard out of training camp, 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.320 expecting Michael Gallup to then be healthy, saying all right, 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:29.440 we have some explosive players this offense. Although we're gonna 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.480 play to the strength of our defense, we're still gonna 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.240 be able to take some shots and complete those passes. 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:35.360 And we just haven't seen that. Right. 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.400 So, when I'm looking at a guy like Brandon Cooks 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.520 and you say, okay, take the top off right, bust 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.080 some hamstrings as he's running down, the defenders should be 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.240 scared of him. I haven't seen that, and that's what 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:49.280 I expected. So to your point, yes, this offense and 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.440 not being able to then stretch the field and put 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.160 some fear and some defenses is it's kind of that 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.600 thing where I'm like, we got to see it if 0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:59.280 we want to be successful of this season. 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.600 You touch on some thing their expectations. I'll take you 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.920 guys back to training camp in Oxnard and what you 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.960 thought of this team at that time. How much has 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.040 that changed? Good or bad from what you thought of 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:12.960 them going into the season to where they are right now. 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.480 Because I wasn't at training camp, but I was hearing 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:22.400 man Brandon Cooks fast, looking explosive. I was hearing about 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.320 the crazy catches that Ceedee Lamb was making. I was 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.480 hearing Michael Gallup is looking a lot healthier than he 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:31.279 was last year. So my expectation was, Okay, although we're 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.320 playing to that strength of the defense, we're still gonna 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.359 go out here in dak Prescott's going to look like 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.640 the dark Prescott of old because he has the weapons 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.680 now which we've been asking for, and then I haven't 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:45.760 seen it. So my expectation hasn't been met. But can 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:47.960 it still be yes, because the last game we did 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:51.320 see some shots get taken. Michael Gallup drop dropped, you know, 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.560 one or two or whatever. But we're still taking those shots, 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.680 and I think as the season goes on, if you 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.480 continue taking those, then you'll catch them. 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.200 I would say, if we're just going record wise, they're 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:03.240 right where I thought they would be. 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.200 I mean, at that time we chalking training camp, I'm 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.080 thinking Aaron Rodgers is going to be with the Jets, 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:09.080 and I thought that they would lose the Niners. Now, 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:10.719 I didn't think it wuld look that ugly, but I 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:12.360 thought that they would probably be around four and two, 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.840 So that part doesn't surprise me. But the blowouts they 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:21.640 had to start the season, just how I wouldn't want 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.200 to say lack of ever, but just how poorly they 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:25.640 came out against Arizona. I never would have expected that. 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:28.880 And then just the fact of just how they got 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:30.520 blown out by the Niners. I never thought that that 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.599 would happen. I just felt like this team is built 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.880 to play the Niners tight to where it comes down 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:37.920 to like a last possession or two, let's see who's 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.520 going to win this game, And for them for to 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.120 be that one sided, I never would have expected that. 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:45.560 With the fact of I mean, I get that they 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.599 didn't have overshown, I get that they didn't have digs, 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.039 but relatively speaking, you all across the rest of the league, 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.719 I mean, they're relatively healthy going into that game. Finally 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:54.640 that you know, the first team offensive line together, So 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.000 I didn't expect that part of it. 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.360 Yeah, I remember telling people back home whenever I was 0:05:58.400 --> 0:05:59.640 at training, Cable was like, you know, this team is 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.680 pretty goo, like they it looks like they can play 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:04.719 complimentary football on both sides. Just by the way the 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.200 offense is being constructed. You see the big shots that 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.279 they're able to take with the speed, guys like Brandon Cooks, 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.440 and it wasn't only him. Cavante Turpin was getting super 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:13.400 involved in the offense. We saw a glimpse of that 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.640 in San Francisco, but I expected maybe a bit a 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.000 little bit more of that at this point. And then 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:19.880 Jalen Tolbert. I expected him to be a little bit 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.120 more ingrained in the offense as well. But I think 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:23.719 you could say that for any of the pass catchers 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.880 at this point. As far as defense, the defensive side, 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.520 Treyvon Diggs. Obviously, that injury hurts and that affects expectations 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.240 in the secondary, But overall, I don't feel like my 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.760 overall expectations declined whenever he was, you know, put out 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.320 of the picture. The pass rush, you know, it's been 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:41.760 up and down at times. Again, it's been like a 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.320 Jekyll and Hyde, it feels like, but whenever they're on 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:46.840 it's it's one of the best defenses in football. 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:50.000 What about the tight end room, Yeah, because like we 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.000 talk about it on the players lounges of like, Okay, 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:55.960 Dalton Schultz was should we pay him? 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.440 Should we not? But quarterbacks, the good ones. 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.720 They need those outlets, right, those guys who are the 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.919 safety blankets. Romo had it with Whinden, You see Kelsey, 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:09.040 You see all these teams Goddard with with Philly, they 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:13.040 have those guys. And you expected with Dalton Schultz leaving 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.280 us drafting a guy in the second round of school 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.080 and then also having hinder shot in Ferguson saying, Okay, 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.559 Dak Prescott's going to have his guy stressed and seem 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.320 if not, he's still going to have that safety outlet, 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.360 and we haven't seen it. And to me, I think 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.040 that is a huge, a huge thing as far as 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.120 what Dak Prescott has not been able to do in 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:31.679 the offense. 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:36.120 But as you say that, my thought is, I think, yes, schoonmaker, hindershot. 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:37.840 I don't think they've played up to Pat. I don't 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:39.920 think they've been where you would have expected them to be. 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.679 I think Ferguson has been as good as you would 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.280 want him to be at this point in his career. 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:45.440 I think he's given you that. 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:47.680 I actually don't know if Dak even uses him as 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.440 much as he's available to him. 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.240 I think there are plays when you see. 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.320 Ferguson gets open and that goes somewhere else with the 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.960 ball for whatever reason. Sometimes it's completion, sometimes it's not. 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.040 I don't know that I look at Ferguson and say 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.160 he can't give you. The only area where I think 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.680 Ferguson is not giving you what you had previously is 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:06.600 in the red zone, and that's part of the red 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:08.760 zone problems. Maybe you're not getting that same level of 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.640 production from your tight ends in the red zone. But 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.640 other than that, I think you're getting what you wanted 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:13.800 from fergus. 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.280 So, yeah, so I think I don't think it's I 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.520 don't think it's the players. I think it's the comfort, comfortable, 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:24.640 comfortableability with the player, right, because that Schultz is Dak's guy, right, 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.240 So you have to then work to be have that 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:28.760 connection with that with that person. 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:29.080 Right. 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:32.480 Whitten and Romo had that connection to where Witten could 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:32.840 close it. 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:34.679 I mean Romo could close his eyes. 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.160 And he would know exactly where Witten was going to 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.280 be or if Winden was going to run the opposite 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:39.920 rout of what he was supposed to do. Romo knew 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:41.600 exactly why he was going to run that and the 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.920 ball would be there. That is just a connection thing 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.680 versus the skill of of what we have in the 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:48.640 tight end room. I just don't think we have that. Yeah, 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.520 and I think you had that with Dalton Schultzen. It 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.920 was growing and you could see that in the numbers 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:56.320 that that was Dak Prescott's guy worth the money. No, no, no, 0:08:56.160 --> 0:09:00.560 no no, I'm not saying we should have got I'm saying, 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.400 when you look at what we're missing on the offense, 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:07.760 then you may be missing then that safety blanket connection 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.600 that Dak Prescott says, no matter what, no matter what, 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:12.840 I'm going to be able to look at this guy 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:14.840 or throw the ball up and he's going to figure 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:16.120 out figure out a way to come down to get 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:17.880 it on one of those third downs that you need 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:18.640 or in the red zone. 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.360 I think, in my opinion, I think Jake Ferguson's right 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.360 where he needs to be, coming into a year where 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:24.040 he's the full time starting tight end. If you had 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:25.560 asked me this time last year, hey, one of these 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.080 tight ends that's in the building right now, he's going 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:28.800 to be the comfortable tight end one I would have 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:30.440 lost my mind. It would be like there's no way. 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.000 But Ferguson he's taking that challenge. I think he's right 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.920 where he needs to be. He's creating that chemistry with Dak. 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.080 He texted him before they left Levi Stadium last week 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:40.559 and said, I'm with you to the wheels fall off, 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.679 and that was That was kind of huge towards not 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.240 only their chemistry, but you know, him being able to 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.680 build that, you know, on field dynamic as well. I 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.200 think there's I think there's a lot to be taken 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.439 away from that. So I like where Ferguson is at, 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.480 but the rest of the titands combined. I think I 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.920 looked at up yesterday two receptions for four yards, so 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.600 there's there's gotta be there's got to be some sort 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.000 of added added, you know, expertise there in that tight 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:03.920 end room. Scoonmaker, I think, is the guy you look at, 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:05.680 though you brought him in as a second round pick, 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:07.640 first round pick, hasn't done a whole lot either. So 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:09.880 there's there's even added pressure on to schoon Maker for 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.719 that for that same instance, so I want to see 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:13.320 him get a little bit more ingrained in the offense, 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.600 get him some red zone opportunities. He's got that big, 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.320 wide frame. I want to see them try to use 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.240 that in one on one situations. I think there's a 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:20.640 lot a lot of stuff to be played with there. 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.280 Yeah, it's interesting how Schultz was a fourth round pick. 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:27.600 Ferguson's a fourth round pick, and Jake's definitely ahead of 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:29.920 where Schultz was after well going into his second season. 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.000 So because which. 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.840 Yeah, yeah, so with that being the same, you know, 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.360 you kind of compare expectations there a little bit. But 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.960 really since Witten, I don't know that they've had that 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.320 you know, I guess they did to certain points last 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.440 year with Schultz, but there really was a little bit 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.000 of some growing pains where it was supposed to be 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:50.760 Schultz and actually it wasn't supposed to be Sulz, supposed 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:52.800 to be Jarwin and Jarwin gets hurt, and then ever 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:54.960 since then, they've been trying to find that next guy. 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:56.719 And there's just something about tight ends. 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:56.920 Man. 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.600 It just it's so tough to project, like who's going 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.839 to be good in terms of where they're drafted at. 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.000 You know, you know, like you see a Kyle Pitts 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:05.520 goes super high, You're thinking, oh, this guy's coming in. 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:07.240 He's about to wreck this league right now, and maybe 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.240 if he's in a different situation, he does. But tight 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:11.160 ends are one of those positions that it's like, I 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.120 guess you just keep taking swings at the bat and 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.040 hope that you get the right guy. I think Ferguson's 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:17.600 the right guy, But to your point, I don't know 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.199 if maybe he's quite right now where Schultz was when 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:20.640 he laughed. 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:22.480 You know what really hurts here is the fact that 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:26.160 you could use a receiving type tight end that really 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.559 excels in that part of his game but also has 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.000 a little bit of run block and John Stevens student, 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:32.600 I feel like he would have just been perfect at 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:33.480 this moment right now. 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.120 But between him and Overshown, I'll toss that to you. 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.320 Guys like both of them during training camp were where 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.400 guys have really stood out and you could see a 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.160 role for them developing. Which do you think was a 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.160 bigger loss for this team? 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:47.880 I would have to be Overshown, just because of the 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:49.640 injuries that have happened since then in the in the 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.120 second level, and they were already thin before Overshown even 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.079 went down, and thenfore Layton Vander esh went down, I 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.280 would have to say him just because there's there's probably 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.080 more of a role for him than John Stevens, but 0:11:58.320 --> 0:11:59.959 both of them do hurt in their own respective ways. 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.959 Yeah, I think it's overshown for me because not only 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.240 the way he was playing, but there was something about 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.320 like kind of a swagger I thought he would have 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.480 brought with his playmaking ability that I wonder a little 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.679 bit if they lost some of that with Digs going 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:15.880 down to you know in that Niners game, it's like 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.480 you watch a Niners game, You're not like, oh, if 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.480 they have Trayvon Diggs, then this game's totally different. Not 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.079 from a playing standpoint, maybe that the game is totally different, 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.040 but I do think that that was like a major 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.720 blow to this team because he brings something that is 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:29.959 a little bit of a swagger, a little bit of 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.040 an energy that's a little bit different. And then Overshown 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:33.800 I think would have done the same thing where you 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.480 just have these ballhawks on different levels making these big 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.680 time plays, and I think it's taken them a little 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:39.280 bit to get over that. 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:40.360 So it would be overshown for me. 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:41.560 Yeah. Same here. 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.560 I think when you see the impact that Overshwan was 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.800 having in the preseason, you say, okay, if he can 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.160 translate that then to the regular season, then you have 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.760 a very strong linebacking corps. And then you look at 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.520 the teams that have good defenses or great defenses, those 0:12:56.559 --> 0:13:01.000 linebackers are flying around. I just remember watching Tampa with 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.440 with Devin White right on the sideline. The sideline you're 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:07.000 watching Fred Warner now up there with San Francisco, Like, 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.800 the lineback and position can change the game for you. 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:11.400 And when you look at the guy like Overshowing, you're like, 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:14.959 oh man, that's the expectation for this guy. Maybe a 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:16.640 little should be a little bit higher than what we 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.199 thought it should be. So with him going down, I 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.760 think that was a huge especially with now Lve and 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:23.560 then now you have the Mount Clark as a young 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.880 guy and they're kind of kind of taking the reins. 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.439 It's just hard to make up for a. 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:27.880 Guy like that. 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.600 Frankly, that was what overshown was that Texas was that 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.880 kind of fly around got always around the ball, always 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.440 making plays. So it wasn't really a shock to me 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.440 to see it when he got here, but certainly it 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.600 was a shock to see it happened that soon and 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:42.920 him to start flashing that early and flashing as often 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:44.440 as he did, so I really think that's a huge 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:46.160 loss for them. We're gonna take our first break when 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:47.640 we come back. I got a lot of questions for 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:47.959 these guys. 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:49.079 We're gonna roll through. 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.560 Some of these talk about what we think has happened 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.240 to this team over the first trimester. 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.800 Well, then when we come back. Dallas Cowboys dot Com Rao. 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:58.640 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.360 Cheat of Savannah.
