Speaker 1: of the shirt that he's got that's lacost day or

20
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: whatever it is, that lactose intolerance. Well that is a stretch, right,

21
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: so cost lacost lac lactose. And I don't know, I

22
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: thought you were just trying to make a reference there.

23
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: But wow, that's okay. It's a Wednesday. Is there something

24
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: you want to tell? I got nothing that's interesting. Uh,

25
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: how's everybody doing? Absolutely, the Cowboys back on the practice

26
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: field or no practice yesterday, but they will be today,

27
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: but it looks like it will be indoors because if

28
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: you're not in that Allas Fort Worth metroplex, you don't

29
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: know that it has been a very rainy morning up

30
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: here in the metroplex. And so rob outside of getting

31
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: a day off again yesterday, any news and notes popping

32
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: up here from the Cowboys set two more guys on

33
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: injured reserve as of yesterday, Brent Urban defensive tackle and

34
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: Maurice Kennedy at cornerback. So that being said, so Brent

35
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: Urban has a triceps injury. Kennedy got the concussion in

36
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots game. So minimum three games out for both

37
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: those guys. But on the flip side, you got five

38
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: guys that have started their practice window either on IR

39
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: or on pup. So there's some flipping and flopping coming

40
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: on the fifty three. I say, who are you laughing at?

41
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: I say, league man, So Moe's gonna be out, Kennedy's

42
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: gonna be out for three games for the concussion at least.

43
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: So are you are you saying it's the league? Because

44
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: this is all all substantial because of the people coming back,

45
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: like this is all a situational deal. That's a head

46
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: of a concussion, you think, So that's all we got

47
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: guys coming back. You know, we've been talking about what's

48
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: gonna happen with this roster. You know when guys start

49
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: coming back and guys are gonna start finding their way

50
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: to the I R. Hello, there's there's a couple. But

51
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: in my head, now Bret Brent Urban has a triceps, yes,

52
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: so and he'll be able to come back from because

53
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: I know triceps of taking guys out. As far as

54
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: I know, there's not surgery involved. Okay. Um, So in

55
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: the five guys that are have started the practice window,

56
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: we talked last week about Kelvin Joseph and tight end

57
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: Sean mccun Now you add Michael Gallup, Yeah, that's a

58
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: big one. Francis Bernard and Tristan Hill on Pop Wow.

59
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm actually I'm pleasantly surprised by the Tristan Hill starting

60
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: of the practice window. I thought he would be a

61
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: little bit further behind, but I thought it would be

62
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: Gallimore before Tristan Hill. It's this guy. If you're gonna

63
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: sit here in the I need to do it. It's

64
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: just amazing how things just fall in place. Oh, you

65
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: stepped your toe, You're going you got an ear affection

66
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: cabin man, you gotta be careful about the swinging cabinets. Bro,

67
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: I think that hit you the hit swinging cabinet in

68
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: the locker room. Well, you know, he got knocked out

69
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: against New England. Yeah, Cannon, it's okay, but hopefully he's okay. Yeah,

70
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: that's That's the biggest thing for me is if there

71
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: were gonna be moves made for those guys coming off

72
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: of IR one, I feel like it wouldn't have happened

73
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: until a little bit whenever those guys get closer. And two,

74
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,679
Speaker 1: I mean there's five guys coming back with a couple

75
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: more on the way. I don't think it would just

76
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: be a couple moves I think it'd be multiple moves. Yeah,

77
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: and I don't think all five guys would be back

78
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,559
Speaker 1: this week. But you look at both guys Joseph and

79
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: and McEwen that started last week, I would think they're

80
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: getting closer. You would you would imagine, uh, Michael Gallup,

81
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: provided he's gotta go, we could practice. I think he's

82
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: getting closer. Tristan Hill, I'm not sure. And it used

83
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: to be on PUP that you not only had the

84
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: three week window, but another two weeks after that. I'm

85
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: not sure if that's still in place. But they've got

86
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: some time with him too to just kind of see

87
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: where he's at. But Pete, let me ask you this,

88
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: how much longer do they have to allow this to

89
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: play out? You know how we have guys that are

90
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: coming from, guys that are going on and all of

91
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: this is a good problem to have with the Cowboys

92
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: because they bringing talented guys back onto the roster. But

93
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: how long can they continue to do this until they

94
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: have to let someone go? Well, I mean, you may

95
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: never have to do it, you guys, he getting hurt,

96
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,119
Speaker 1: which you don't want to see, but that's an easy

97
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: way to just kind of flop it out with without

98
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: having to cut somebody. And then you know, there's also

99
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: the opportunity now with the expanded practice squads and more

100
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: looser restrictions on how many veteran years you have to

101
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: have to qualify for the practice squad, that's an option

102
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: too with guys that they're able to come back. But

103
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: you know, it could continue to be a situation like

104
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: this where eyes or hurt. That's how you you know,

105
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: you kind of swap out, you know, like line change

106
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: in hockey or something. Well, I mean, you hope the

107
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: guys don't get hurt, but that's always a possibility. Now.

108
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: We talked yesterday a little bit about the Lyo Collins

109
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: in Terrence Steel situation on whether or not Collins would

110
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: be ready to jump back in immediately, and kind of

111
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: went through our decisions on that. But what about Michael Gallop?

112
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: Is Michael Gallop going to be ready to be inserted

113
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: as of Sunday because he hasn't played since Tampa Bay.

114
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: A calf injury is something that you don't necessarily want

115
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: to mess with, even though he's had an extended period

116
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: of time to get over that calf injury. If he's

117
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: out on the field, how much do you expect him

118
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: to be a factor in this offense. But I mean

119
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: you hope that he's one percent ready and he's back

120
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: and not compromised in any way at all. He's had

121
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: enough of an opportunity to be healthy and based off

122
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: of everything I hear about mister Brown in those bands,

123
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: that he about that life and so when you get back,

124
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: you're ready. So I mean, Michael Gallup is the piece

125
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: that we need on this offense. Said Wilson has come

126
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: in and done a tremendous job and replacing him. But

127
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: everybody knows that Mike G's demand and all of this

128
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: talk about trade deadlines and all that means take his

129
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: name off of the table for that because we know

130
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: going into this last stretch he is going to be explosive.

131
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: At least I hope he is. Yeah, I don't foresee

132
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: him coming back for a couple more weeks. I think

133
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: that you know that his windows has opened up. I

134
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: think you want to make sure that he's one hundred

135
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: percent good, especially with that calf at that position of

136
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: him playing a receiver. That that calf is intricate, right,

137
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you have so much cutting so many different angles,

138
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: so much different force. Yeah, I mean, so you want

139
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: to get a couple couple good weeks underneath your belt

140
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: of seeing him performing practice before throwing him to the wolves.

141
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: By the way, Chris Beam did the research at the bank,

142
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: he did say those extra two weeks are on the

143
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: pup lists. Yeah, okay, that that is indeed the case.

144
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: So Tristan Hill does have a couple extra weeks to

145
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: get ramped up and ready. So Michael Gallup would be

146
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: back by Casey Well, no, no no, no, no, Gallup was

147
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: still on IR. He wasn't on PUCK. He wasn't yeh,

148
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: Trisphin Hill was on PUP. But yeah, Michael Gallup is

149
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: as of now, the twenty one day window has started,

150
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: so he's able to come back as soon as he wants.

151
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: If not, it's through the end of the twenty one days.

152
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: So do you feel the same way though about maybe

153
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: holding him back a little bit, keeping him limited if

154
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: he does play, if at all, It just depends on

155
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: how how the week of practice goes. Now that they've

156
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: got today Tomorrow is usually in pads and then kind

157
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: of the light Saturday practice and they did something on

158
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: Monday too, so we'll see just how much work he's

159
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: able to do, and that'll that'll decide it. I think

160
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: when he does get back, we talked about how he

161
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: can take the top off that that's kind of the

162
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: biggest thing he can do. Although Ceedee Lamb has done

163
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: a nice job with that host two games m getting

164
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: by the defense. Ceede Lamb did a nice job against

165
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings last last year, going deep that yards

166
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: after the catch up, of course, the snag in the

167
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: back of the end zone. What you did. The thing

168
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: about Michael Gallop coming back would be his deep threat

169
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: against a banged up secondary for Minnesota. And we're gonna

170
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: preview the Minnesota defense and the Cowboys offense tomorrow, but

171
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: today it's the Minnesota offense versus the Dallas Cowboys defense,

172
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, this is gonna be a tough test. There

173
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: are a lot of weapons on the Vikings and what

174
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: they have to do or what they bring to the table.

175
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: Rather with Dalvin Cook, you've got Adam Feeland, justin Jefferson,

176
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: kJ Costello who's having a great season so far, and

177
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: then you got it all headed up by Kirk Cousins.

178
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: So I ask you, guys, because of the weaponry that

179
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: is around him. He's played exceptionally well through the first

180
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: six weeks of the year compared to what he's done

181
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: in the past. So how much of a threat is

182
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and where does he rank among some of

183
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks that the Cowboys that face so far. Kirk

184
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: Cousins is a veteran, first of all. I'm a very smart,

185
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: savvy veteran who's been around. He's made a lot of money.

186
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: He makes a lot of money for a good reason.

187
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: He doesn't make a lot of bad decisions. You never

188
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get with him. In terms of

189
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: the night games, obviously that's his thing that everybody holds

190
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: over him, but I think that's more of a myth

191
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: more so than a legend. This dude has thirteen touchdowns,

192
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: two interceptions to that point, you know he is. He

193
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: has sixty nine percent completion percentage right now. He has

194
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: missed a lot of thrills, which is kind of scary,

195
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: and I hope he continues that for at least another week,

196
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: because right I mean at almost seventy percent completion rate

197
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: with that low percentage in terms of interception ratio and

198
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: the big plays that they're missing because of their ability

199
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: to run the ball. They run a lot of play action.

200
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: They run a lot of really good concepts in terms

201
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: of three receiver, four receiver concepts to one side, they

202
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: overload you. These guys do a really good job on

203
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: offensive getting guys open. He has not hit his he

204
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: hasn't hit the mojo yet. And let's just hope that

205
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: we can keep that like that for at least another

206
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: week because he's there are a lot of big plays

207
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: if you turn on the film, man that he's missing

208
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: guys over the top, I mean three four yards overthrown.

209
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: That would be just easy walking touchdowns because of the

210
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: schemes that they're doing offensively. So they're they're they're there's

211
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: they're their officer coordinators in their bag right now as well.

212
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: He definitely is. And you look at the numbers last

213
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: year from Kirk Cousins against the Cowboys twenty two or

214
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: thirty three hundred and fourteen yards, three or excuse me,

215
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, no interceptions. I mean, he picked the part

216
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: that Cowboys defense last year. This is Cowboys defense that

217
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: at the moment still giving up a ton of yards

218
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: through the passing game. So heckman, do you feel like

219
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: we're better equipped to face a Kirk Cousins, even though

220
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: he's playing better in twenty one than the Cowboys were

221
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: better equipped last year. Yeah. Well, for me, I've had

222
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: a hard time even liking Kirk Cousins over the years

223
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: because he played for the football team, right, So I've

224
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: never wished him well in anything he's done. Um and

225
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: so like that. So um ever wished him well Friday?

226
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: Not yet? No, no, no. What I mean is always

227
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: and so and so. I agree with you what you

228
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: say about him because I feel as though when you

229
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: watch him on film, you see him making good decisions

230
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: with the with the football. I think where he gets

231
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: it is when he's getting pressure on him. Like most quarterbacks,

232
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: you know, when they feel that pressure, they get happy

233
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: fee start burping the baby, and he will do that

234
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: and he'll give you the ball. I think Kubiak's sons,

235
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: Gary Kubiak's son is all right as an offensive coordinator,

236
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: and I understand Kazim's mind state with just wanting to

237
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: keep that continuity from the offense that they had from

238
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: last year. But it's really kind of basic. They get

239
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: him going just like they get most college and high

240
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: school quarterbacks going with those little short, dinking dunk throws

241
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: and then they try and stretch it with Jefferson. So

242
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: that's really not a lot of imagination to him. But

243
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: I like what you said about the twelve personnel playing

244
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: with a bunch of tight ends. They want to crowd

245
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: you in so that they can get Dalvin Cook going.

246
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: And the thing about Dalvin Cook to me is his splits.

247
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he lines up like a punter, so toime,

248
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: he's so far back there because he wants to get

249
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: going downhill. So our defense is going to have to

250
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: punish number thirty three. It's gonna have to be one

251
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: of those games. It's the Black and Blue Division. This

252
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: is what they do. They're gonna run the ball right

253
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: at us, and they want to try and get that

254
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: going in order to kind of throw us off kilter

255
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: in this game. Based upon their schemes. Man again, I

256
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: keep reburning back to the film passing. Game wise, they

257
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: do some some pretty ingenious stuff. It's kind of crazy

258
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: some of the stuff that I'm seeing on film, and

259
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: again he's just missing on a lot of it. So

260
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: but it's there. Running game wise, they do an amazing

261
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: job with their officer a line with their zone running scheme.

262
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: They did a wide zone dude. Ever, they get a

263
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: man on a man, yeah, and a lot of times

264
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: it's Dalvin Cook against one guy and you better be

265
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: a hell of a tackler to get that dude down.

266
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: But that's what it's gonna come down to. Our guys

267
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: are gonna have to tackle well because the scheme wise,

268
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: they do a good job, right, you know what I mean.

269
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: Obviously that makes sense with Koby Kubiak. So they do

270
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: a good job of getting man on man in their

271
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: office line working up to the second level and sometimes

272
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: a third level. Somebody's gonna come down from that safety

273
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: position and bring your big boy draws. Yeah. I think

274
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: Cousins is third on the list of the quarterbacks they faced,

275
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: and it's not too far off from Brady than Herbert

276
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: than Cousins if you going back further, I think the

277
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: Vikings had this stat last sixteen games, going back to

278
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: last season. He's got like thirty seven touchdowns and five interceptions. Wow.

279
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: And I think when they've played him in years past

280
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: with the football team, he would give you stuff. He

281
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: would give you an interception, a fumble, something, and he

282
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,599
Speaker 1: got away with one in the last game. Carolina, but

283
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: he's done a better job of taking care of the ball.

284
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the more underrated quarterbacks in

285
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: the league, and I think he benefits from that balance

286
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: because Dalvin Cook's one of my favorite players to watch

287
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: in the league, because, like you said, he gets downhill,

288
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: he runs angry, and they've kind of got a Zeke

289
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: Tony Pollar thing going with Alexander Madison too. Is this

290
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: defense well equipped or ready for the challenge of a

291
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. He's a different runner, And yesterday I said

292
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys may not have faced a good runner to

293
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: this point. I don't think that's necessarily true. I think

294
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette's a good runner. I think Austin Eckler's a

295
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: good runner. Like, you've faced good backs, but you haven't

296
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: faced Dalvin Cook yet. Dalvin Cook is a different breed

297
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: of a back. And this is a guy who you

298
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: can afford to one get running downhill and two to

299
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: break multiple tackles. He's led the league in miss tackles

300
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: the last two seasons. You got to wrap him up

301
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: on first contact because if not, he's going to be

302
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: running for a little while. Yeah, I mean, even though

303
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: it's a smaller statue of guy's tough, you know, and

304
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: he also he's fast. He break a tackle and he

305
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: will get away from you. So I mean, I think

306
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: if you go back to the game last year, I

307
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: think Alden Smith had a pretty good game vers and

308
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: so we were able to get not only get pressure,

309
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: but get him down immediately. So we have to go

310
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: back to the same thing. And Layton vander esh is

311
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: going to play a big role in this game because

312
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: he's going to be at the line of scrimmage a lot,

313
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: and when they go with those twelve personnel bunch that

314
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: they do, we're going to depend heavily on our linebackers

315
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: against the run to not allow him to get to

316
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: the second level. Also with j run curse. So I'm

317
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: sure dan Quinn has the recipe for this game. It's

318
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of bringing pressure from different directions.

319
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: But just going back to Dalvin cook Man, he does

320
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: it all and not only running, he's also an excellent block.

321
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: So I mean, he's just one of the as far

322
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: as the dynamics of who he is. If you don't

323
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: get him down, if you don't gang tackle, he can

324
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: run away from me. He can make you pay I

325
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: respect the heck out of Dalvin Cook, and I think

326
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: he's a beast. I'm not as fearful of Dalvin Cook

327
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: as I am the actual schemes in office a line.

328
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: He's not. He's not necessarily creating plays. He's not the

329
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,479
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna shake you up at the line of screamage,

330
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: make two or three guys missing and just gas on you.

331
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: He's not that guy. He's gonna run through the hole

332
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: and if he meets you in the hole, you better hello.

333
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: But what he's he is literally literally running through red

334
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: seas right now. These guys are literally setting up walls,

335
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: the Great Wall of China, and these guys are running

336
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: through it. To understand this, as good as Dalvin Cook is,

337
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: as much as we all respect him, he's only has

338
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: twelve more carries in his number two back because I mean, okay,

339
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: may but still right, I mean he has he has

340
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: two fumbles out of what the six games they played,

341
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: so he's getting off the ball once every three games,

342
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: all right, on average? Okay, um Receiving wise, he's a threat,

343
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: but he's not the big play threat that the other

344
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: Madison is, right, So I respect the mess out of Cook.

345
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: Don't let me don't think that I'm down playing him.

346
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: I respect him just like I respect all the professionals

347
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: in this league. But I'm more concerned with how do

348
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: we approach this offensive line and what they're going to

349
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: do to create the holes, because I think, no matter

350
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: who they put in the backfield, these guys to be

351
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: able to run through the holes that these guys have

352
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: been creating. So is it a lot about getting pressure, Well,

353
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: it's a lot about being in your in your gap,

354
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: being as being sound and being in your gap. And Cook,

355
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean Cook if he can break a tackle right,

356
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: But again he's not that. He's not that shifty back

357
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: that I'm concerned about. I'm concerned about how are we

358
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: going to be in our gaps? Are we gonna be

359
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: be able to be sound, be stout and not allow

360
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: these guys to sit up the wall, because that's what

361
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: they want to do. These guys want to boo boom

362
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: boom ba boom, work their way up, turn their turn

363
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: their backs to the sidelines, and let these guys run

364
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: off their butts. That's what this offense wants to do.

365
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: And if you get playing site, if you get playing sideways,

366
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: you know to the sideline. The sideline, they'll just throw

367
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: you out the club and the moon there goes to seams.

368
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: Kind of sounds like how the Cowboys run their own offense.

369
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: H does a lot of that? Yeah, I mean you

370
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: could have clipped before you said the red Sea part,

371
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: even specifically, you could have clipped at that one part

372
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: because you didn't say Dalvin Cook at any point. You

373
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: just said that man a couple times. You could have

374
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: clipped that and said, hey, that was a cow bye

375
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys offense, not even about the Minnesota offense.

376
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: They do so many things well, but when we come back,

377
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: what about the receivers? Who's the bigger threat out of

378
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: Adam Feeland and Justin Jefferson. That's gonna be a decision

379
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: that's gonna be mulled over by this Dallas coaching staff

380
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: for the next couple days when we return with more

381

401

436
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: the roller Coasters episode that we had at the beginning,

437
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: and one enough time in the show, somebody did put

438
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: a little roller Coast gift. I saw that. That was good.

439
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: That was good. Well, we gotta get into more of

440
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: that later on down in maybe Friday, yea, with our chance,

441
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: we gotta find the story. Yeah, well, offseason, Joe story

442
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: time on Friday. Thank you us talking about boiler Coasters. Yeah,

443
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: frat boy Friday? All right? Last year? How about eleven targets,

444
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: eight receptions, one hundred and twenty three yards, two touchdowns.

445
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: That was for mister Adam feeling against the Dallas Cowboys.

446
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson three receptions on five targets, eighty six yards

447
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. He had that thirty nine yard reception.

448
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: That was a pretty big one in the Cowboys win

449
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: over Minnesota thirty one twenty eight on the road. But man,

450
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: that was a very different Minnesota team. Then we're gonna

451
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: see on Sunday it's a very different Cowboys team. Then

452
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will put out there by Sunday. Can I

453
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: ask you a question with you? I'm sorry, I don't

454
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: mean to interrupt you, but I got it because it's

455
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: on tip of my tongue. Um, do you feel like

456
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: the Vikings have the advantage at the wide receiver position? Yes?

457
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: Right now? Yes, yes, that is why I mean with

458
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: a bang up Amari and no, Michael gallup, A, you're

459
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: talking about our receivers versus the receiver or their receivers

460
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: versus are r dbs? No, no no, no, I'm talking about

461
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: our receivers versus. Oh no, oh, our receivers versus their receivers.

462
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: I think at this very moment, yes, I do believe so,

463
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: because they're both healthy and they've got k J. Osborne

464
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: playing very well. If you're asking me quarterback wise, I

465
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: would even take a eighty percent Dak Prescott over Kirk

466
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: Cousins at the moment, But maybe that's what ends up happening.

467
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: I like Adam Finland and Justin Jefferson a lot. I

468
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: don't think they're better players than Amari Cooper and Ceedee Lamb,

469
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: but at this moment, they're both healthy and Amari Cooper

470
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: still a little banged up. You don't have Michael Gallup.

471
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: I would believe that. I think the wide receiver Corps

472
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: four Minnesota is right there with Dallas and maybe a

473
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: tad bit better at the moment. What about their receivers

474
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: versus R dvs. That's what really matters. That's a bigot

475
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: pe Uh, that's a great question. I'm leaning towards the

476
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys still, but I think it's I think it's very close,

477
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: very close. Yeah, And I think I think the Vikings

478
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: are very happy with their draft pick a year ago,

479
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: just like the Cowboys are very happy with their draft picking.

480
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: Exactly right. And I don't I don't know this. I

481
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: don't know the numbers right now. I just the way

482
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: you were building that question up, I was like, man,

483
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: wait a minute, because I don't. I don't think so.

484
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: I think even at a bang up of Martin Cooper

485
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: is better than Feland in my eyes, and Ceedee Lamb

486
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: and and I look at Ceede Lamb and Jefferson and

487
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: this is all ifs here. But if Dak is healthy

488
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: last year, I think Ceedee Lamb is leaps and bounds

489
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: better than Jefferson in that offense. And we're not having

490
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: the same conversation about these two players. Um fair, but

491
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: four different quarterbacks. I mean that's just me. But I don't,

492
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,479
Speaker 1: I don't. To me, I'm Treyvon Diggs is gonna be

493
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: on Jefferson and I trust a b on Theeeland. Okay,

494
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: So that was gonna be another one of my questions

495
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: leading into it. It was is Treyvon Diggs going to travel? Yeah,

496
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: he will travel with Justin Jefferson. He's gonna he's gonna

497
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: travel travel with Jefferson. Okay. And Isaiah, it's upset about

498
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: I say, you do you do remember this is a

499
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: podcast you're you're talking about with the audio you're talking.

500
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: I was just I mean, come on, um, that was

501
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: a very bold statement. Sir uh Anthony Brown. You take

502
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown over Feeling. Man and man coverage. I'm gonna

503
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a B with Theland because I think

504
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: they're stretching the field with Jefferson, and I'm gonna take Diggs.

505
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: And you feel good about ab versus dealing. I feel

506
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: good about ab in a in coverage getting help because

507
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: that's where it's the help is going to be with Theeeland,

508
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm not saying even and the man, and yeah, I'll

509
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: take it even man to man. Feeland is gonna run

510
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: crossing routes. Things. I trust ab there, I do. I

511
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: like ab Um. Feeling is one of the most underrated,

512
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: if not the most underrated receiver in this league. He

513
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: is dominant and I agree and I agree that he

514
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 1: is that he is freaking dominant. Okay Um. He is

515
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: one of the best route runners in this league. He

516
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: doesn't have the explosive speed that some of the other

517
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: guys that we would throw in that conversation, and that's

518
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: why you don't hear his name that much. But in

519
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: terms of how he gets open, the fact that he's

520
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: scoring a touch touchdowns and gets the artist that he

521
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: gets with the lack of speed that he has is

522
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: indicative to how great of a route runner this dude is.

523
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: So you think I was putting him down by saying that.

524
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 1: No, no no, no no no no no no no no no,

525
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: I wasn't. No no no no no no no. I didn't no,

526
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: I didn't say that. I don't say. What I'm saying

527
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: is you. I asked very specific, do you feel in

528
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: credible with ad on feeling? And I would I would

529
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 1: wholeheartedly disagree. You would, you would take it the other

530
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: you would put a b on Jefferson. I would let

531
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: those guys. Whoever comes to your side comes to your side.

532
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: Oh no, I would not travel. You feel like they

533
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: got two number one. I mean, Feeling was their number

534
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: one after Stefan Diggs left, right, and that for a

535
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: year year two and then and then they brought in Jefferson.

536
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's a tough it's a tough duo.

537
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I M And they move guys around too,

538
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing Kyle you mentioned, um K

539
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 1: j Osborne. Yeah, he's brought a different dimension to them

540
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,959
Speaker 1: because they put in mostly in the slot, it seems like,

541
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: and that they've got three guys who can really beat you. Now,

542
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: and then I don't know if they've had that in

543
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: the past, and so to me, assuming if that's George

544
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 1: Lewis on him, I think that's a real key to

545
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: watch as well, and it theed him feeling excuse me,

546
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 1: getting back up to speed a little bit. I mean,

547
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: he had eleven receptions on twelve targets. Might I add

548
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: eleven on twelve last week where one hundred and twenty

549
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: six yards and he had a touchdown as well. That's

550
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: a stat line very similar to the one he had

551
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys last year, except last year he had

552
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: two touchdowns against the Cowboys. So I don't know if

553
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: I trust be on that side either. I don't know

554
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: if I also keep them to their side either. I

555
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: kind of want to take away the top receiver. I

556
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: want Trayvon Dix to travel with Jefferson. Yeah, I mean,

557
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: Trayvon Dix is basically in twenty twenty one three things

558
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: guarantee death taxes and Trayvon did is gonna get interception,

559
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: so you may as well put him with Wood Jefferson.

560
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean, let's keep this, let's keep this thing going.

561
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: It's no look, man, we faced better wide receivers to

562
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: this point. Than what we're gonna see on Sunday night,

563
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: which ones, Oh, Tampa. I would say Keenan Allen, Kenlan Allen,

564
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: and Williams. I would say, they're right up. Not better

565
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: route runners. They're not better rounders specifically. That's what you're

566
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: talking I'm talking about together, and I'm talking about the

567
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: type of receivers those guys are. And those are big receivers,

568
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: run catch it over you type receivers. These are route runners, Okay.

569
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: And we haven't faced a route runner yet to the

570
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: to date, everythinking back to whoever we face a he's

571
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: a good route runner. Back, I don't route runner in

572
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. I don't. I don't agree with that. Okay,

573
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: What I'm with you on how efficient is? I mean

574
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: he that guy he's been productive is amazing, and in

575
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: Jefferson is is feeling with speed and size. I am

576
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: curious though. I mean, Trayvon faced Jefferson in college LSU Alabama. Yeah. Yeah,

577
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: And so he didn't get to play in this game

578
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: last year. I think he was he was injured. So

579
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised at all if that's ther because

580
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: when there's been a clear cut number one receiver he's

581
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: he's accepted. I only can only think of two games

582
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: he didn't really travel against New England, and he didn't

583
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: he was either Caroline or Philly. He didn't travel either.

584
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: Other than that, he has taken on the best guy,

585
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: and yeah, it wouldn't surprise me at all. But ye,

586
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: when healan on whoever is gonna be tough. When I

587
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: think about feeling and when I think about Jefferson, all right,

588
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: I think about Antonio Brown in terms of their route running,

589
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: in terms in terms of how how they run routes, right,

590
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: I think I think that's I think I believe that's

591
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: how they approached the game in terms of their techniques,

592
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: the technical aspect of running routes and what happened when

593
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: when we face Antonio Brown. Yeah, he's all by himself.

594
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: That's no, No, I get it, I get it. But

595
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: that's that's what I think about what we face to

596
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: date in terms of how people approach the game at

597
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: that position, in the ability to run routes and get open.

598
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, I think he was a dog back in

599
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: the day. He's not what he was. No disrespect to him.

600
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: There are some really good route runners in this league. Ridley. Abe,

601
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: there's a there's a ton of them, right, I mean,

602
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: there's some really good guy, so there's there's no disrespect there.

603
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: I think these guys have Jefferson has benefited greatly. He

604
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: was already a great route runn. He's benefited greatly from

605
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: being a teammate of Feeling, right, and I'm pretty sure

606
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: that he's mentoring a crap out of him. And now

607
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: you throw throw then other guy in the mix, and

608
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: now you got a three hited monster. They're starting to

609
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: if they if they had a tight end, if they

610
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: had an old school Rudolf like they used to have,

611
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: these guys will be a complete problem. I will say,

612
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: pff backs up your your thinking. In terms of top

613
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: route runners right now, the Cowboys have not faced a

614
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: top ten route runner to this point. Keenan Allen is

615
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: sixteen and Mary Cooper is fifteen. I think over the

616
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: course of their careers they would be exceptionally higher. But

617
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: at the moment number nine and number ten are Adam

618
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: Feeling and Justin Jefferson. So top ten guys, two of

619
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: them on the same team. I mean, it backs up

620
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: you're thinking. But I think in terms of career wise,

621
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: they're not nearly. Am not. I'm not looking at career.

622
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this week. About right now, I'm thinking,

623
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this Withe that career don't mean nothing

624
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: when you when in comparison to this week. That's what

625
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: we got to do with this week. So that's what

626
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like traveling like you're you're facing pretty much

627
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: the same the same dude, just one faster than the other. Yeah,

628
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: they're three and three for a reason. And I'm looking

629
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: at them and even with the weapons that they have,

630
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: and you talked, I looked at I watched the Browns

631
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: game and the one thing about the Browns that they

632
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: presented it to the Vikings was pressure upfront, which made

633
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: it obviously, you know, makes everything easier on the back end.

634
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: And that's I'm not the disrespect for is not there

635
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,719
Speaker 1: for me. For theland, I recognize who he is as

636
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: a runner. I just believe when you move coverage towards

637
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: him and make him a priority and you have the uh,

638
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: you could put seven over there by himself on Jefferson,

639
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: that just opens up so many other things that you

640
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: can do on your defense, even with the other the

641
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: third receiver that they have, so I'm not really worried

642
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: about it to that degree because we can get a

643
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: b help. I don't need to get Diggs any help.

644
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: By the way, for those of you wondering on Diggs

645
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: and Jefferson in college, Jefferson had seven receptions for seventy

646
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: nine yards twenty nineteen in that Classic against Alabama, but

647
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: Diggs mostly played against Jamar Chase in that game, so

648
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: it was mostly Jefferson. It was Jefferson against Hurtan, though

649
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: it was Patrick Hurtanon that went up against Jefferson's part.

650
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: So gosh, that was a good game. Forty six forty one.

651
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: LSU won that game in route to their national title.

652
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: But this this is a tougher game than most people

653
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: are acknowledging. I'll put it like that. And this is

654
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: a much tougher game and people are anticipating or they're

655
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: acknowledging because these guys are sneaky. That's one of those

656
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: teams that you can kind of overlook. But they're they're

657
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: built well. They're built well, and that's not me gassing

658
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: them up. They just they just are. They're one of

659
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: those teams that you better respect who the heck you're

660
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: going against, and you can't play them single high. That's

661
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,239
Speaker 1: what we like to do. We like to play them

662
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: single high. We like to play teams single high. That's

663
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: what we do, right. We like to be man to

664
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: man coverage, get pressure upfront, and we're gonna get there

665
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: before you can get the ball off. Hopefully that's the case,

666
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: because if you try to play single high on these guys,

667
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: it's not it's not something that you better get there.

668
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: But we've switched up so much of our coverage. And

669
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: that's the same thing that Zim has to his advantage

670
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: on his we'll talk about and we'll talk about that tomorrow.

671
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: These guys have the advantage and of having smart players

672
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: that fit their system. I think you can do the

673
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: same thing with the Vikings this week. You don't have

674
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: to go single high safety against these guys. You can

675
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: split it. You don't have to do that. You don't

676
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,479
Speaker 1: have to play it that way. And you're saying that

677
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: that's the only option that they have is going the

678
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: same because of the schemes that they run offensively, these

679
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: concepts that they're running are not like what anything we

680
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: face this year. That's just for me watching film. These

681
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: guys are running four man, they are overloading the side.

682
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: They're overloading one side of the field with three and

683
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: four man concepts, and that's without Dalvin Cook. Yeah. So

684
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: if you come out of the two high safety, where

685
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: are they gonna hand a ball off too? Yeah? And no,

686
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: I agree, no, And we talk about being able to

687
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: be stout up front and being able to obviously stay

688
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: in our gaps and how we haven't been challenging a

689
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: running game. Go too high against this team if you

690
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: want to, How import do you think tackling is too

691
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: for the for the TVs? Because I didn't watch it,

692
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: probably not nearly as much as you did, but it

693
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: seemed like they try to get the ball in space,

694
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: flares whatever to Jefferson deal and let them go to work.

695
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: If you're playing off coverage, there's a hell you can

696
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: only just stay in one coverage for this time. I've

697
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: never said that, but I'm what I'm saying is this

698
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: is not the team that you can go too high against. Right,

699
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: you don't want to go too high because this is

700
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: probably the most most effective running team that we face.

701
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: Are we have any argument in regards to that? Okay,

702
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: so this is the most in terms of being adamant

703
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: about the run. This is this team is going to

704
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: run the ball. So if you go too high, I

705
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 1: guess what that's welcoming the run, all right. But also

706
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: when you go single high, you don't want to play

707
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: man to man against these guys. As much as dominant

708
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: as dix As has been this year, you don't want

709
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: to play man to man because what these guys do

710
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: concept wise, along with the personnel that they have on

711
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: the outside, that's all I'm saying. So I have full

712
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: confidence that will be okay. But you're gonna have to

713
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: mix it the heck up because you have a smart quarterback,

714
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,720
Speaker 1: you have some really good route runners on the outside,

715
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: and you have a heck of a dude that we

716
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 1: can run the ball. So no matter what you present,

717
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 1: they're gonna have an answer for it. So we've talked

718
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: about a lot of the strengths for the Minnesota offense.

719
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: But when we come back here on talking Cowboys, how

720
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: can the Cowboys take advantage and take away a lot

721
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: of those strengths. Who's gonna have to step up and

722
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: who's gonna have to play better when we come back

723
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,840

Speaker 1: last time picking some games. Um, you're gonna be disappointed.

773
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: We've got a Draft Kings segment coming up on Friday.

774
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: DraftKings is back. We're gonna do an underrated player segments,

00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: gonna take up an entire segment. We're gonna each bring

776
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: an underrated guy guy to watch basically for the game

777
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 1: coming up on Sunday, and we're gonna tell you, yeah,

778
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: a little bit, just a tiny bath. Kings loves those guys,

779
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: what they do. That's cool. We're gonna bring that. Yeah,

780
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring that on Friday, right the segment before

781
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 1: the Pickham segment. We're gonna do it on Friday, all right,

782
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: how did the Cowboys stop these guys? Where are their weaknesses?

783
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,280
Speaker 1: We talked a lot about the strengths of the Vikings,

784
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: but where are they weak enough to where the Cowboys

785
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: can take advantage from a defensive standpoint, because, hey, maybe

786
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: it is pressure. I know that offensive line has been

787
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: playing exceptionally well. They've lost three games, but against three

788
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 1: quality opponents. Where do you think this defense can have

789
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: some success? Hecla Brian O'Neill, the right tackle, it's your

790
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: birthday for the Vikings. We got pressure coming down your way. Um,

791
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: I think that's a front line, man, is where we

792
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: have to dominate these guys, you know. And he talked

793
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 1: about it and said the way that they want to

794
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: dominate the line of scrimmage and they want to get

795
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: the run game going with Cook and that's where it

796
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: starts for us. And I feel like we've done a

797
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 1: damn good job over the last couple of weeks of

798
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: getting a penetration. Also DIGGI zeul, all of those guys

799
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: call us Watkins being back now. I just feel like

800
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 1: dominating up front is going to be the key to

801
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: this game. And Randy Gregory is a load and I

802
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 1: don't know a lot of left or right tackles that

803
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: want to deal with what ninety four is gonna bring.

804
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: I want to see what Michael Parsons. The way that

805
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: they're going to use Michael Parsons in this game is

806
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: also going to be pivotal because of the way that

807
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook runs and obviously getting pressure on the quarter

808
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: on Cousins to force those turnovers. So and again, turnovers

809
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: are going to be important for this game. Can we

810
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: get now that two of those? That's the go and theme?

811
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: And I think we're tied for a franchise history with

812
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 1: ten games with two turnovers. We get to this game,

813
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: we're going to break break records here. So this is

814
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 1: what it's all about. Yeah, so you gotta go out

815
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: and do it. There's really absolutely nothing other than that

816
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: you gotta go force two takeaways. One thing that you

817
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: said about Randy Gregory, this guy's playing so well. I

818
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 1: mean I went back and watched the game from the

819
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: New England game prior to the bye week, and I

820
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: mean he is just mauling people at the line of scrimmage.

821
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean that guy is showing the athleticism, the strength,

822
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 1: I mean, all of it. Bundled into one. Can he

823
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: keep that up against Minnesotas. Minnesota better equipped up front

824
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: than maybe New England is or was. They're not gonna

825
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: block him with one person. Um, they're not gonna let

826
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: him get off. I wouldn't if I was off as

827
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: a coordinator. And to your point, heck, we have all

828
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: watched the film. These guys get the ball out quick.

829
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: So Gregory there, I mean, that might be something that

830
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: just takes him out the game in that regard for

831
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: majority of the snaps that he plays. The guys are

832
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: gonna to step up this game. Our defensive line are

833
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: gonna have to win their individual battles. Brent Urban being gone,

834
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: that sucks. That sucks for us because he's a large presence.

835
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: It's big rotationals He's a big rotational piece, but he

836
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: has a huge presence physically obviously up front, and he

837
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: presents a problem against zone running schemes like this one

838
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,240
Speaker 1: because he cops up those blocks and those guys can't

839
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: work up to the next level. Our front defensive alignment

840
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: are gonna have to win their battles one on one.

841
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to be aware that they're gonna get

842
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: double team these guys are gonna be They're gonna be

843
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,919
Speaker 1: sifted blocking up all the way up to this next level.

844
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: Our linebackers they got to flow. Then they got to

845
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: trust their eyes because if you take one wrong cut, boom,

846
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: one foot in the ground, they're cutting backside. And here's

847
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: a scene. Parsons, Neil, be physical. You're gonna get on

848
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: your bench press this week because you're gonna be fighting

849
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: off as alignment of off your chest and shedding those

850
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: blocks to be able to fill those gaps. This this

851
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: is gonna be a test up front in this front seven.

852
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: If we can win that battle, we win the ball

853
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: game hands down easy. Yeah. I wonder if Quinn Bohanna

854
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: is gonna have to play more snaps now with no

855
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: Brent Urban in this game. Um so I agree with

856
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,280
Speaker 1: what you guys said. I mean, Hex stole my answer

857
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 1: about Gregory, and you're right, they do try to get

858
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: the ball out quick, especially in some circumstances. But uh,

859
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: you know, adding dirty the d line coach said he's

860
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: coming into a mindset where he wants to take over

861
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: every game and he's doing it. I mean, you know

862
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 1: they've got a left tackle who's a rookie Christian Darisel

863
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: was really talented, but he's gonna make life difficult on

864
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: the edges there, I think, and I think this is

865
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: a good game for Michael Parsons to play linebacker. I

866
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: know we debate this like on a weekly basis, but

867
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,439
Speaker 1: I just think his speed back there in the run

868
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: game is needed along with Count O'Neill has been back

869
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. Does Mike he need to have

870
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: his best game since maybe the first three games of

871
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: the year when he was really on a roll. Does

872
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: he need to have a step up in this game

873
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys to really have success. I wouldn't say

874
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: his best game. He just need to play within himself

875
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: in the scheme. He doesn't need to do anything outside

876
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: of that. And going back to what Isaiah was saying

877
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: about double team, double teaming Randy Gregory, That's why I

878
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: feel like you got to use Michael at the edge

879
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: as well, because you know that the Vikings are going

880
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: to be doing that and he's gonna Michael would be

881
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: man to man himself again short throws trying to get

882
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins off. It's going to be their m but

883
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: we still have to create that pressure somehow. Someway. We've

884
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: got to make him uncomfortable in the pocket. Do you

885
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: want him on the edge? I do, okay, I thought

886
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: you wanted him more or les. No, he wants him

887
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: at linebacker. I want him on the want him at linebacker. Yeah,

888
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: especially against a team like this because they're because of

889
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: their blocking scheme in the run game, he'll just get

890
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: washed out. And then when it comes to passing downs,

891
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: if it's a passing down, sure, or throw him out

892
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 1: there in third down, third and long, let him go

893
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: ahead and puts it, put it, you know, his ears back,

894
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: and I'm okay with that. But yeah, I'm okay with

895
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: that too. I don't have a problem with him being

896
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: in at the defensive in position for those situations. But

897
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: when it comes to earlier downs, first second down, get him.

898
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: Don't even think about putting them on on the defensive

899
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: line where he would get picked up and thrown on

900
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: the into the second bleachers. With a running scheme like this,

901
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I don't care how much. It doesn't matter.

902
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: It isn't even have the club you got, you got

903
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: six hundred pounds working together. It doesn't matter who you are.

904
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: They will wash you out, especially if you're an undersized

905
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: defensive lignment. So there's no disrespect to him. That's just anybody.

906
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: Lion's gotta eat. I hear you, man, I hear you.

907
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: If there's food, I think him at the second level

908
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: is gonna Yeah, he can impact this game at the

909
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: second level with his speed. He he's gonna have to

910
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: come in and rush. It's gonna be a solid mixture

911
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: of it's gonna be everything, be everything. I mean, dan

912
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: Quinn's gonna throw every scheme, every look, every look in

913
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: the book over the next week. I mean he is

914
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,919
Speaker 1: going to throw the kitchen sink at this vikings Offen.

915
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 1: I just had a WWE flashback when he said six

916
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: hundred pounds working together. I'm thinking about the like earthquake

917
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: and tugboat just getting back in Tea. It's like the

918
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: old school wedge man. It's like the wedge. It doesn't

919
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: matter how how dominant of a kickoff cover guy you

920
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: are when you run into those two office alignment. Yes,

921
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 1: night night, yea. He's already shown you what he can

922
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: do physically, and he's seen a lot of that. And

923
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: so look, linebacker wise, we have depth there. We're still

924
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: forgetting Layton vander esh we're still forgetting, and that's why

925
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: I brought up that second level of being able to

926
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: shed blocks, because that hasn't been his mo over the

927
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 1: last few years. So those guys are going to have

928
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: to guess what I say, Get on the bench press,

929
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: get some close bench going on this week, do some

930
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: explosive work with some mitballs, because you're gonna have to

931
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: shock and release off of these office linement because they

932
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: are going to get up to the second level. Our

933
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: d line will have their hands full with these guys

934
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: working in unisons, pushing the line, pushing the line, pushing

935
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: the line in if our linebackers get caught up in

936
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: that wash, we're gonna this is a game that defensively

937
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: we can maybe get exposed because of the way that

938
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: they work together up front. Yes, okay, I like that.

939
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a part of this defense,

940
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: if not the whole defense that does get exposed on

941
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: some points. But it's gonna be up to the Cowboys

942
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 1: offense to keep pace with what they've been doing. They've

943
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: been the number one offense in the NFL for a reason,

944
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: and we're gonna preview the offense versus the Vikings defense tomorrow,

945
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: which definitely has the Cowboys at an advantage, but we've

946
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: got that coming up here on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.
