Speaker 1: The following.
Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 3: Doll Cowboys.
Speaker 4: This he's Talking Cowboys Straining live.
Speaker 2: From the Dallas Cowboys World Tours at the Star in Frisco.
Speaker 5: Street Kidson Touchdown.
Speaker 2: And now your hosts Isaiah Standback, Nick Harris, John Mashoda,
Speaker 2: and Kyle Yeomans.
Speaker 3: It's a Thursday edition of Talking Cowboys presented by Black
Speaker 3: Rifle Coffee Company. We are live from the SWBC studio
Speaker 3: at the Star in Frisco. It is Cowboys Eagles Week
Speaker 3: and it's a Thursday, which means today we take a
Speaker 3: look through QB vision with Isaiah Standback, we preview the
Speaker 3: Cowboys offense going up against this Philadelphia defense that just
Speaker 3: came off of allowing a forty burger against the San
Speaker 3: Francisco forty nine ers.
Speaker 5: So will they.
Speaker 3: Rebound or will another forty burger be served? On Sunday
Speaker 3: Night Football. We've got Isaiah Standback, John Mitchoda, Nick Harris
Speaker 3: and Kyle Yeomen's.
Speaker 5: Gentleman, how we do it today? Doing well?
Speaker 6: I think I was talking with someone yesterday. It feels
Speaker 6: like this week is just taken forever because it's I
Speaker 6: guess it's a ten day rest and it feels like
Speaker 6: we should be playing ball by now, but we're not,
Speaker 6: so a couple more days we're not.
Speaker 3: Do you think an added factory to that is that
Speaker 3: this has been the most anticipated matchup for sure, probably
Speaker 3: of the season.
Speaker 5: I know Week five was pretty highly anticipated.
Speaker 3: To go up against San Francisco, Week nine against the Eagles,
Speaker 3: but getting the Eagles at home, it's it just feels
Speaker 3: like it's a little bit different.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, I think the weight of the matchup as well
Speaker 6: is definitely creating some excitement around here.
Speaker 8: So yeah, I'm ready for Sunday night.
Speaker 5: John Mitchoda is ready for Sunday night.
Speaker 7: He is.
Speaker 9: And I will say, I'm just happy to be feeling well,
Speaker 9: considering where Mike mc arthy was at yesterday morning and
Speaker 9: judging by Dak talk to a small group of reporters
Speaker 9: in front of his locker yesterday and was talking about
Speaker 9: how he had kind of a stomach bug over the weekend,
Speaker 9: and so he thought Mike McCarthy might have had the
Speaker 9: same thing, and obviously Mike's situation was a little bit.
Speaker 1: More than that. So hey, I'm happy to be here
Speaker 1: feeling good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, same here.
Speaker 8: It wants to be healthy.
Speaker 5: There was a stomach bug going through the Star last week.
Speaker 5: Just in general.
Speaker 3: Yeah, wasn't wasn't pretty in certain areas. But yeah, it's
Speaker 3: one way to put it. But good to see that
Speaker 3: Nick does have baby wipes, It's true. Any other news
Speaker 3: and notes, and we could start with the McCarthy use
Speaker 3: and kind of explain what that situation was.
Speaker 8: Yeah, leading off with that.
Speaker 6: Mike McCarthy yesterday came into the facility, you know, ready
Speaker 6: to kick off on field practice this week, and he
Speaker 6: typically gets in about five six a m. And whenever
Speaker 6: he came in, he was meeting with a couple of people.
Speaker 6: He ran into Dan Quinn and he just wasn't feeling rights.
Speaker 6: He said, had a lot of abdominal pain. Got checked
Speaker 6: out by the team doctors, a team training staff here
Speaker 6: and they were like, why don't you go get further
Speaker 6: evaluated up the street at the hospital.
Speaker 8: So he went up the street.
Speaker 6: Turns out he has a cute appendicitis and had surgery
Speaker 6: yesterday afternoon to have his appendix removed and out of
Speaker 6: the hospital. And I do not expect him to be
Speaker 6: in the facility today. My expectation would that would be
Speaker 6: that he would be here for the walk through tomorrow
Speaker 6: on Friday, and as far as we know, he anticipates
Speaker 6: coaching on Sunday, so I don't think there's a huge
Speaker 6: concern there. I forget who tweeted this out yesterday, but
Speaker 6: somebody did saying that North Turner had his appendix removed
Speaker 6: on a Friday back in two thousand and nine and
Speaker 6: he was coaching on Sunday.
Speaker 8: Take that for what you will.
Speaker 6: And we asked Dan Quinn yesterday at the press conference
Speaker 6: he filled in for Mike McCarthy, and he said, you
Speaker 6: think that big tough irishman is gonna miss this game?
Speaker 6: So I think he'll be there on Sunday, but definitely
Speaker 6: send him prayers out to McCarthy. Hope never thinks going
Speaker 6: well as far as his recovery, and yeah, definitely, John
Speaker 6: said it yesterday. You can't go you can't go a
Speaker 6: day without something happening around here.
Speaker 9: Dak was laughing about how he knew how upset Mike
Speaker 9: was going to be when they did their zoom call.
Speaker 9: He had anticipated he'd probably want to do one to
Speaker 9: go over plays and things like that, because that's where
Speaker 9: you're at kind of now in the season, like it's
Speaker 9: not like there's a ton of new install it's kind of, hey,
Speaker 9: this is what we like, we're gonna work work in
Speaker 9: this different situations and so they always meet together, and
Speaker 9: so he was thinking that maybe this week it might
Speaker 9: be via Zoom and he just was joking about how
Speaker 9: Mike is going to be complaining about how this is
Speaker 9: like turned into this whole side story and he doesn't
Speaker 9: want it to be, you know, that type of a thing.
Speaker 9: He wants to obviously the focus to be on the game.
Speaker 9: But yeah, so yesterday we had Dan Quinn at the podium.
Speaker 9: Today this morning it's supposed to be Brian Schottenheimer, and
Speaker 9: so the plan is for all three of the coordinators
Speaker 9: to kind of run practice and that. And one of
Speaker 9: the quotes that said out on me yesterday was when
Speaker 9: DeMarcus Lawrence was talking about it because they went through
Speaker 9: twenty twenty with COVID, there were so many things that
Speaker 9: were done virtually and things like that.
Speaker 1: He said that they.
Speaker 9: Were prepared for it, but goes shout out to COVID
Speaker 9: for preparing us for it. I never thought i'd hear
Speaker 9: anybody give a shout out to COVID but it does
Speaker 9: seem like I think I think if this was earlier
Speaker 9: in the season, maybe it would be a little bit
Speaker 9: more of an issue in terms of the game planning
Speaker 9: and things like that. But I just feel like where
Speaker 9: they're at offensively, with Mike and Dak being on the
Speaker 9: same page, I don't think it's going to be a huge.
Speaker 1: Setback from that perspective.
Speaker 9: What I do find interesting is, and believe me, I
Speaker 9: did love when you post some tweets about this. I'm
Speaker 9: sure you got some of these. Me and Todd Urch
Speaker 9: we're talking about it. When you post what happened to
Speaker 9: Mike McCarthy, there is just people that will jump.
Speaker 1: In there, Like my uncle had that he was back
Speaker 1: in two days. I know, somebody had that they were
Speaker 1: drinking by Sunday.
Speaker 9: You know, like there's always people that try and like,
Speaker 9: you know, relate it to their own life. So the
Speaker 9: thing that I find interesting though about this is everybody
Speaker 9: anticipates Mike to be back on Sunday. Yeah, but I
Speaker 9: wonder if he'll be coaching from the sideline.
Speaker 8: Oh I thought about that as well.
Speaker 5: In the box.
Speaker 8: Maybe I thought about that as well.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 9: How do you feel about the booger mcfarlande mobile from
Speaker 9: Monday Night Football.
Speaker 5: Sign me up. I think it would be a better
Speaker 5: I mean, it couldn't be worse of a.
Speaker 6: Situation than what it was for a broadcast situation.
Speaker 8: I forgot that.
Speaker 5: Was the thing.
Speaker 7: Nick.
Speaker 5: Nick just looked like he relived some childhood trauma.
Speaker 9: I would think that if that was the case, then
Speaker 9: I would think dan quinn would come out of the box.
Speaker 9: It'll probably be on the sideline and then so Mike
Speaker 9: will call plays from helping the booth.
Speaker 7: But I don't know.
Speaker 9: I mean, I don't know that that remains to be seen.
Speaker 9: I don't think anybody knows for sure on that, but
Speaker 9: they everyone seemed confident that Mike will be their Sunday Night.
Speaker 3: Did you ever play in a game where your head
Speaker 3: coach was unavailable? Head coach wasn't able to coach high school?
Speaker 7: Yeah, high school. There was one game in high school
Speaker 7: here he got suspended.
Speaker 5: Different situation.
Speaker 7: I was pretty much the coach on the field, So
Speaker 7: that was interesting. Outside of that, Yeah, we won. Let's
Speaker 7: go on stand by quarterback draw the whole game.
Speaker 1: Both ways or just I was quarterback quarterback?
Speaker 5: Yeah, he got to protect his legs to go to Washington.
Speaker 1: It kind of depends on the size of school you
Speaker 1: went to.
Speaker 7: It was. It was not. I mean, we were not
Speaker 7: a football school.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so you made it a football school.
Speaker 7: Definitely didn't win a lot of games, but you want
Speaker 7: that one, that one.
Speaker 9: But from your perspective as a former player in the NFL,
Speaker 9: you know, on an actual game day, how much you
Speaker 9: know is that head coach matter to be on the
Speaker 9: sideline as opposed to being up in the booth like that.
Speaker 7: Honestly, outside of outside of my time in New England,
Speaker 7: I would say not much. Yeah, I would say not much.
Speaker 7: I just I mean, there's so much of it. It's
Speaker 7: just a game plan the players are coming in. Obviously,
Speaker 7: it's a little bit different with coach McCarthy because he
Speaker 7: call him plays Setenheimer. Obviously, as official officer coordinator, he
Speaker 7: will have a role in that. But I don't foresee
Speaker 7: it being too much of an issue. I just really don't.
Speaker 3: Is it more impact to have him miss times during
Speaker 3: the week to miss days during the week, then it
Speaker 3: would be have him or on.
Speaker 5: The fielder rather than in the booths.
Speaker 7: No, absolutely not. It's more important for him to be
Speaker 7: in a practice week than it is for him to
Speaker 7: be in the game. And that's not trying to take
Speaker 7: away from his importance to his team. I'm just speaking
Speaker 7: from a player's perspective. Again, I don't know how. I
Speaker 7: don't know how they communicate during a game in terms
Speaker 7: of coach McCarthy and Dak and you know how often
Speaker 7: they're talking and things of that nature. I would imagine
Speaker 7: that Shody plays a big role in that as well,
Speaker 7: but I can't speak to that. But I do know
Speaker 7: that when you're on game day, you're literally just getting calls,
Speaker 7: getting feedback, getting a couple of coaching points here and there,
Speaker 7: and then you're blowing and going like. There's not a
Speaker 7: lot of sitting down and having discussions. You know, there's
Speaker 7: just not a lot of that going on.
Speaker 1: Saturday is a huge practice for them.
Speaker 9: Since Mike McCarthy's been the head coach, he's always put
Speaker 9: a lot of emphasis on that day before practice, which
Speaker 9: is something that was new that he implemented brought over
Speaker 9: from Green Bay.
Speaker 7: And so.
Speaker 9: I don't know for certain, but I would think that
Speaker 9: if there's any chance that he can be here on Saturday,
Speaker 9: he probably will be.
Speaker 6: Let me clarify, you said it would be more important
Speaker 6: for him to be here during the window than at
Speaker 6: the game on Sunday. Yes, even though he's offensive play calder.
Speaker 7: Well, I mean you still have shoddy right, that's what
Speaker 7: I'm saying. I don't know. I mean, I mean, you
Speaker 7: guys are talking about physical presence. Yeah right, I'm talking
Speaker 7: about Okay, he's gonna be at the game most likely.
Speaker 7: I mean I'm assuming that I'm talking about sideline presence.
Speaker 5: He's talking about votes. Yeah, on the sideline.
Speaker 3: I don't know, if not in general, because we all
Speaker 3: anticipate Mike to be there. Yeah, I think you should
Speaker 3: anticipate Mike to be there. But whether he's in the
Speaker 3: booth or on the field is what we're talking about.
Speaker 6: I hope, I hope it's like a Hugh Free situation
Speaker 6: where they have the hospital bed like up in Cherry.
Speaker 8: Sweet and he's just calling plays from the bed.
Speaker 7: He's in the screen, isn't it isn't a screen like
Speaker 7: six levels or something crazy like that, the video board. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 7: it's just put him in the screen.
Speaker 3: Put him in the screen, have him bird's eye views,
Speaker 3: looking straight down, looking looking down. Dolly Parton lights that
Speaker 3: if it looks like mad like he's just playing Madden
Speaker 3: is what he's doing.
Speaker 5: At that point.
Speaker 9: So Quinn has filled in as the head coach when
Speaker 9: Mike missed time because or he missed that one game
Speaker 9: in New Orleans, I believe during COVID, and so Quinn
Speaker 9: has been their head coach during during a game before.
Speaker 9: And so I would anticipate that if Mike can't be
Speaker 9: down on the field, that Dan would come out with box.
Speaker 7: It really just comes down to those situational decisions, right,
Speaker 7: So you're talking about those fourth downs, you know, whether
Speaker 7: to go, whether you're talking about you know, punting or not.
Speaker 7: You know those those are the type of things you know,
Speaker 7: do you challenge his play? I think those are The
Speaker 7: head coach on game day is more impactful than anything.
Speaker 6: Yeah, any other news and notes, Yes, So yesterday, as
Speaker 6: we were awaiting Peyton Hendershot's determination, he was activated and
Speaker 6: Sean McEwan was put on the I R. And then
Speaker 6: also Matt will let's go offensive tackle who has not
Speaker 6: played all seasons, suffered a shoulder supplexation.
Speaker 8: Is that you said, I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like shoulder like pops out of place, like
Speaker 7: without needing to be manipulated.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's that's so strange. That's a little too gross
Speaker 8: for me.
Speaker 6: But uh yeah, So he had his twenty one day
Speaker 6: practice window open, which really surprised me. I figured he
Speaker 6: was done for the year and they were just going
Speaker 6: to kind of shelf him. But his twenty one day
Speaker 6: practice windows open. I don't see why, but I'm curious
Speaker 6: to see if y'all have any perspective on it. But first,
Speaker 6: Hendershot being activated. You know, how do you feel about this.
Speaker 8: With the tight end room. I know we've talked about
Speaker 8: it a lot this week, but now that it's determined.
Speaker 3: Well, you had to find a spot and we had
Speaker 3: a feeling it was going to come from the tight
Speaker 3: end room and if there was an odd man out
Speaker 3: in the tight end rotation at the moment, it was
Speaker 3: Sean McEwan. And so that's kind of the decision that
Speaker 3: they made and ended up putting him on IR and
Speaker 3: didn't cut him straight out. They want to keep Sean McEwan.
Speaker 3: They've made that abundantly known the last couple of years,
Speaker 3: and they've had opportunities to move on from him, but
Speaker 3: instead they've continued to protect him and keep him as
Speaker 3: a part of the roster, so hendershot coming back, they
Speaker 3: make sure McEwan's locked up with the irs THENT and
Speaker 3: then yeah, Matt, well let's go. I was kind of
Speaker 3: along the same lines as you were, just based off
Speaker 3: of what we had seen in training camp and him
Speaker 3: going through that injury process early on. I'm shocked he's
Speaker 3: even opening the window, and maybe this is a chance
Speaker 3: for him to come in. You got the twenty one days.
Speaker 3: If if it does work out, that's great, there's offensive
Speaker 3: line depth. Yeah, if it doesn't work out, then it's
Speaker 3: right back to what we probably anticipated in the first place,
Speaker 3: and that's being out for.
Speaker 5: The entire year.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was one thing that I thought yesterday. Maybe
Speaker 6: they just want an extra practice body for the next
Speaker 6: three weeks. You're going up against three really physical teams
Speaker 6: in the next couple next few weeks, so just to
Speaker 6: have an extra practice body, maybe that's the reason. But yeah,
Speaker 6: not really sure entirely what he could bring on the
Speaker 6: field at this point in the year. I mean, you
Speaker 6: have you've shown that you had death of tackle with
Speaker 6: Cheomi Doga. They've thrown Austin Richards in there as well,
Speaker 6: So yeah, that's I'm interested to see what they do
Speaker 6: with Well, let's go down the line.
Speaker 3: And You've always been very adamant that that's a tough
Speaker 3: injury for anybody, especially for somebody that plays as heavily
Speaker 3: up top as offensive line do.
Speaker 7: Yeah. No, I mean, there's only a number of things
Speaker 7: that you can do without having to have surgically repaired,
Speaker 7: and that's just strengthening the crap out of it. You know,
Speaker 7: maybe that's the time that he's utilized, you know, throughout
Speaker 7: this whole season, is him just strengthening the structure of
Speaker 7: that shoulder and then obviously wearing some form of a
Speaker 7: shorter harness our strap to try to keep it from
Speaker 7: getting in compromising positions. So the combination of those two
Speaker 7: things might allow for him to play. But I'm not
Speaker 7: I'm pretty skeptical. Obviously haven't been through it three different times,
Speaker 7: three different surgeries in regards to that exact injury.
Speaker 9: I'm just disappointed that I'm oh for two on my
Speaker 9: last predict, two predictions at Shacklosson coming here our chef, sorry,
Speaker 9: Leonard Shack Leonard, And uh.
Speaker 5: I didn't no shock Shack Lasson was available.
Speaker 9: Yeah, right, he's in the NFL these days, shack or whatever.
Speaker 9: And then also I did. I was surprised when they
Speaker 9: when they told his history that henders Shot was coming
Speaker 9: off and that Aquan was going back on. I wasn't
Speaker 9: expecting that just from things that I had heard that
Speaker 9: I heard it was going to be a little difficult
Speaker 9: for Hendershot. So to your point yesterday, it's there. I
Speaker 9: like what he can bring in the passing game, so yep,
Speaker 9: it'll be interesting interesting to see where that goes, for sure,
Speaker 9: because we have seen him make some big plays in
Speaker 9: the passing game when he's healthy, so let's see if
Speaker 9: he can get back out there.
Speaker 8: I'll say this.
Speaker 6: I talked to hitter Shot in the locker room after
Speaker 6: it was all determined that he was going to be back,
Speaker 6: and you'll like this.
Speaker 8: He had a little bit of confidence in him.
Speaker 6: He was like, yeah, I'm ready to contribute however they
Speaker 6: want me to contribute, you know, I'm here here to
Speaker 6: do that.
Speaker 8: I was like trying to get a couple of touchdowns
Speaker 8: for the end of the year. He was like, for sure,
Speaker 8: like let's let's get it.
Speaker 6: So I think there's a little bit of confidence there,
Speaker 6: and he was kind of chopping it up a little
Speaker 6: bit more with this tight end teammate yesterday in the
Speaker 6: locker room, So maybe the mental part of it is
Speaker 6: in the past and we'll see what he can contribute
Speaker 6: from receiving and going forward.
Speaker 8: Yeah, finally was a note. We haven't addressed it this week.
Speaker 6: I missed at the last couple of days, but DeMarcus
Speaker 6: Lawrence being the team's nominee for WALS from Peyton Man
Speaker 6: of the Year just the opportunity to speak on that.
Speaker 8: I guess. He's been awesome on the field.
Speaker 6: Obviously, his contributions off the field have taken notice of
Speaker 6: the team and the people here, so good for d Law.
Speaker 3: Yep, it was really cool the video that they did
Speaker 3: that showed that he was the nominee. They took Dak,
Speaker 3: who of course won the award outright last year, has
Speaker 3: the patch on the jersey for the remainder of his career,
Speaker 3: and it was Dak that delivered the news to d
Speaker 3: Law that.
Speaker 5: He was going to be the nominee. A really cool moment.
Speaker 3: If you haven't checked it out yet, go online Dallas
Speaker 3: Cowboys dot com and Nick has a write up as
Speaker 3: well about d Law and what he's done in the
Speaker 3: community and first time nominee for him too, so a
Speaker 3: really big deal and he's he's very proud about being
Speaker 3: that nominee for the Cowboys as each team gets their
Speaker 3: own selection to push forward that award moving forward.
Speaker 5: All right, let's take our first break.
Speaker 3: When we come back, it is time to go through
Speaker 3: some QB vision. What does the Philadelphia defense bring against
Speaker 3: Dallas on Sunday Night football? Isaiah Stanback breaks it down
Speaker 3: based off of the film study.
Speaker 5: When we come back.
Speaker 4: Right after this, Todd thought it would be secure to
Speaker 4: jog in the cheat of Savanta. Todd believed the big
Speaker 4: Cat repellent he bought online was reliable. And now Todd
Speaker 4: is trying to be faster than this cheetah that can
Speaker 4: run eighty miles per hour. But the good news is
Speaker 4: Todd has AT and T five G. It is fast, reliable,
Speaker 4: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do
Speaker 4: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the
Speaker 4: beef stew At and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure,
Speaker 4: It's not complicated.
Speaker 10: Five G requires compatable planing device. Five G may not
Speaker 10: be available in your area. See att dot com slash

Speaker 13: life's questions with an ice cold can of doctor Pepper. Sheila,
Speaker 13: let's hear from my next caller, would.
Speaker 3: You, Dear Doctor? My friend supported me during a tough time.
Speaker 14: But what's the right gift that says thanks for being
Speaker 14: the shoulder.
Speaker 4: To cry out?
Speaker 13: Okay, this one's easy. I say, give her a delicious
Speaker 13: Doctor Pepper. Nothing says thanks good better than one of
Speaker 13: a kind soda. Yes, any Doctor Pepper flavor will do now,
Speaker 13: just to remind her that I don't need to be
Speaker 13: a real doctor to know that Doctor Pepper is the
Speaker 13: one you deserve.
Speaker 3: To Talking Cowboys back here at Talking Cowboys presented by
Speaker 3: a Black Rifle Coffee Company. This portion of the show
Speaker 3: brought to you by Quaker Oats, a super trusted super
Speaker 3: food Quaker Roads, an official oatmeal sponsor of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5: Isaiah, you get yours in this morning?
Speaker 7: I did? You did? I sure did?
Speaker 5: While you were watching film.
Speaker 7: With some freaking crazines.
Speaker 5: Wow. Yeah, it's impressive.
Speaker 1: I can tell.
Speaker 9: Whenever he has he has a little bit more juice,
Speaker 9: a little glow, not yeawning.
Speaker 1: He seems like he's in the zone.
Speaker 7: He locked in.
Speaker 8: He sweed.
Speaker 7: Even Dek was like, oh, you're getting a little film
Speaker 7: study in this morning ride. I'm like this, All I
Speaker 7: do is film study deck. That's all I do.
Speaker 5: If you would like to join sometimes, I got you.
Speaker 5: All right, let's go through.
Speaker 2: Some Why Eddie Why Eddie put it's time for QB
Speaker 2: vision with Isaiah's stands back.
Speaker 7: It was good, all right. QB vision very similar to
Speaker 7: what we talked about last. When we face these guys,
Speaker 7: these guys are a let's let's go this way. What
Speaker 7: is the strength of their team? Their defensive front, the
Speaker 7: big boys up front. Obviously you got Jalen Carter, Fred
Speaker 7: Fletcher Cox, Hassan Reddick Big. I call them big Baby
Speaker 7: Davis in the middle. Those guys are the engine that
Speaker 7: makes his team go. Beyond those guys, these guys can
Speaker 7: be compromised. I really hope that Dallas has a game
Speaker 7: plan to initiate the run. I don't want to go
Speaker 7: into this game and just say, ah, we can't run
Speaker 7: the ball against these guys because they're big, they're physical.
Speaker 7: They got, you know, a thousand pounds of grown men
Speaker 7: in a in a three techniques I want to see
Speaker 7: the Dallas Cowboys initiate a running game because I think
Speaker 7: it will open up everything else in terms of the
Speaker 7: passing game. Number one, number one thing that you have
Speaker 7: to take care of is Hassan Redick. This dude is
Speaker 7: a complete terror. He terrorized Dallas last time we played them.
Speaker 7: Terrence still did not have the great some days against him.
Speaker 7: He even moved inside on some stunts and gave ty
Speaker 7: to beat there some issues. He's a he's a problem.
Speaker 7: He's he's an absolute problem. I don't really foresee too
Speaker 7: many passing pass rush issues outside of him, So you
Speaker 7: need to make him a priority. That just needs to
Speaker 7: be number one. If you want to pass the ball
Speaker 7: effectively like you did last time, take care of Redick.
Speaker 7: He's the only one who caused you issues. Coverage wise.
Speaker 7: These guys aren't great coverage wise. I don't care you have.
Speaker 7: You have the names Darius Slay, you know, was it
Speaker 7: Kevin Byerd, You have some names out there, But honestly,
Speaker 7: these guys are not very good. They are at the
Speaker 7: bottom of the league in terms of yards given up.
Speaker 7: They're at the very bottom of the league in terms
Speaker 7: of touchdowns given.
Speaker 3: Up, points per game, allowed, twenty fourth passing yards per game,
Speaker 3: twenty ninth passing touchdowns allowed, thirty first and takeaways they're
Speaker 3: type for twenty third.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're not great. They're not great, and the coverages
Speaker 7: that they play are very simplistic. They are they want
Speaker 7: to be a single high team. I want say's about
Speaker 7: seventy plus percent at a time. They're a single high.
Speaker 7: They want to play nickel. They're mixing it up between
Speaker 7: Manda man and Cover three Manda man coverage. You have
Speaker 7: to win. Obviously, Dallas did a great job across the
Speaker 7: board tight ends, running backs, receivers of winning their one
Speaker 7: on one matchups last time against Philadelphia. It's the reason
Speaker 7: why CD was able to go off. There's plenty of
Speaker 7: opportunities there. There's actually a lot of missed opportunities in
Speaker 7: terms of our tight ends as well. Running a lot
Speaker 7: of stick stick you know, stick and go type routes,
Speaker 7: a lot of double move type things. These guys like
Speaker 7: to hold. You can get them going in one direction
Speaker 7: and obviously beat them on a double move Cover three.
Speaker 7: I really want Dak I should have told him this morning.
Speaker 7: Huh sure, But I really want Dak to be patient
Speaker 7: in Cover three and obviously, in order to be patient,
Speaker 7: you have to reaction. Yeah, you have to. You have
Speaker 7: to obviously have the time to be patient. So if
Speaker 7: you can block up Hassan Reddick, then you will honestly
Speaker 7: be in a position to take advantage of their single
Speaker 7: high cover three safety coverage and being these guys carry
Speaker 7: Darius Slay carries a ton in Cover three. He plays
Speaker 7: it like man. You're not supposed to play it like man.
Speaker 7: He plays it like man, meaning that he's playing about
Speaker 7: twelve yards off. He doesn't want to get up in
Speaker 7: your face in this particular coveage. So it's really easy
Speaker 7: to identify in terms of who gives it away. It
Speaker 7: is going to be buyered. He gives the coverage away.
Speaker 7: You find him, You find thirty one, You find out
Speaker 7: what these guys are running coverage wise, thirty two what's
Speaker 7: his name? Sorry? Blankenship Actually like him, but they want
Speaker 7: him to be the free They want him back kind
Speaker 7: of going sideline. The sideline. They want Kevin Bayer to
Speaker 7: be down near line of scrimmage, but he sucks in coverage.
Speaker 7: He's trash and coverage. He will grab you in a heartbeat,
Speaker 7: but he will give it away, even your trash and coverage,
Speaker 7: and when they try to show a too high shell
Speaker 7: and drop him down late, he's the one that's going
Speaker 7: to drop if if Bradberry's coming down or not, Bray,
Speaker 7: why do you want to keep someone to say Bradberry
Speaker 7: blanking ship comes down is because they really need him
Speaker 7: to cover one of your tight ends. Okay, they want
Speaker 7: Buyer down there for run support. That's why you need
Speaker 7: a running game. Keep him in the box, keep keep
Speaker 7: the blanket ship back. But in cover three, he's playing
Speaker 7: about twelve yards off Darius Slay that is, and he'll
Speaker 7: turn his back if you have a vertical threat going
Speaker 7: his direction. He will literally turn his shoulders and tended
Speaker 7: in the direction of the end zone, meaning that his
Speaker 7: responsibility that is on the you know whatever the boundary side.
Speaker 7: There's nobody underneath, and I mean nobody underneath. So if
Speaker 7: you can get your running backs out, if you can
Speaker 7: get your tight ends across. San Francisco did a really
Speaker 7: good job of bringing I am really blanking out on
Speaker 7: name today Kittle across information and getting a chip on
Speaker 7: on Reddick. Right, did a really good job bring him
Speaker 7: across in motion, get a chip on Reddick and then
Speaker 7: letting him get out to the flat.
Speaker 1: La.
Speaker 3: There's one play that he did that and then turned
Speaker 3: into a target in the flat and oh, he took
Speaker 3: off like thirty nobody opened or there's nobody defensively down
Speaker 3: there because he chipped off the edge, got a chip
Speaker 3: on Reddick, bought a little bit of time for Perdi
Speaker 3: and then dumped it off underneath the kittle in and
Speaker 3: he took off for the rest.
Speaker 7: It's absolutely the player that I have in mind, and
Speaker 7: it happened multiple times. Yeah, where there were guys coming
Speaker 7: out late. Right, So if you have a vertical threat,
Speaker 7: he's already playing twelve yards off, you get on his toes,
Speaker 7: he's going to turn and open the shoulders and go
Speaker 7: towards the end zone and then there's nobody there for
Speaker 7: that responsibility. He doesn't have the discipline to play to
Speaker 7: be aggressive and take care of his responsibility. So if
Speaker 7: you threaten his zone, his area, he will lose all responsibilities.
Speaker 7: You could take advantage of that underneath. So I say
Speaker 7: be patient, Dac, because a lot of dump downs, right.
Speaker 7: I know, as many times we want, we're starting to
Speaker 7: work the ball down the field, but this is one
Speaker 7: of those games where you can get it to one
Speaker 7: of your players underneath and let him run right and
Speaker 7: just take advantage of the yak yardage. And with that,
Speaker 7: you know, you can obviously extend drives, you can get
Speaker 7: first downs, you can move the change, you can obviously
Speaker 7: do whatever the heck you want to. And if you
Speaker 7: can find a way to run the ball against these
Speaker 7: big boys on front, I don't see them being able
Speaker 7: to stop the Dallas offense. I really don't. I think
Speaker 7: that what they did, what we did against them last time,
Speaker 7: it caused them a lot of issues. I think they
Speaker 7: realize that they don't have the personnel to match up
Speaker 7: against Dallas man the man. So if they want to
Speaker 7: play zone, then they're kind of compromising the sense of Okay,
Speaker 7: now you're playing zone with undisciplined players, and they really
Speaker 7: rely heavily on big number seven to get back there
Speaker 7: and get pressure on your quarterback. Outside of that, they're
Speaker 7: not doing a ton. They're just not in the stats
Speaker 7: that you just mentioned. You know, back that statement up,
Speaker 7: back up that sentiment. These guys are getting scored on
Speaker 7: left and right. They're giving the passes left and right.
Speaker 7: Their thing is they want to put you in long
Speaker 7: passing down so that Reddick could get back there and
Speaker 7: cause you some issues. But if you can find a
Speaker 7: way to double him, what do they have pressure wise?
Speaker 7: I don't know?
Speaker 9: All right, So I got two questions for you. One,
Speaker 9: we're going to get the pressure in the second. First,
Speaker 9: just because they're fresh off playing the Seahawks. You're a coach,
Speaker 9: I come to you and I say, in this game,
Speaker 9: you need a safety that can cover. And you got
Speaker 9: to pick between Bayered and Jamal Adams. Who are you taking?
Speaker 7: Oh I'm taking I'm taking Byered over Jamal Adams. I
Speaker 7: mean they both are the same type of player.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I think Jamal Adams is just reckless. I mean doesn't.
Speaker 7: I mean, that's just his style of play, that's his energy.
Speaker 5: You called buyer, trash and coverage.
Speaker 7: Jamal Adams doesn't cover. He just doesn't even does.
Speaker 1: Try to cover about it though. He's pretty sensitive.
Speaker 7: That's fine. I mean I'll go against him right now
Speaker 7: and run around on him.
Speaker 8: He will go lower, that's what he said.
Speaker 7: He Yeah, he'll try to injure you for sure.
Speaker 3: But he was a part of my Fergie touchdown called
Speaker 3: you realize that I kind of threw at him a
Speaker 3: little bit like, that's for you, Cowboys Nation, that's for
Speaker 3: you because whenever he caught the touchdown, passes like he's
Speaker 3: covered by Jamal Adams, but it doesn't matter for.
Speaker 5: Like just kind of put their little down in the
Speaker 5: rock Johnson on that one.
Speaker 7: Also, whenever they do go cover two, okay, whenever they
Speaker 7: do go to high safety is usually a Tampa two,
Speaker 7: meaning that the middle linebacker turns and goes to the
Speaker 7: to the heavy side. If you have a three receiver side,
Speaker 7: right tight end receiver receiver, he's going to turn open
Speaker 7: up and running that direction. One thing that they don't
Speaker 7: do a great job of, and there's an opportunity here
Speaker 7: is what we call the honey hole. It's the spot
Speaker 7: between the cornerback and the safety. That cornerback is really
Speaker 7: sitting heavy. That's one of the few times that you
Speaker 7: will see Darius Slake stay in his area is.
Speaker 3: Not twelve yards off, not twelve yards old, creeping toward
Speaker 3: the line of scrimma.
Speaker 7: He's gonna be about three three to four yards off
Speaker 7: the line of scrimmage. He's gonna have his shoulders turned
Speaker 7: in towards the quarterback. You're gonna see that safety kind
Speaker 7: of mess around like he's gonna like he's gonna drop
Speaker 7: down to a single high. But then what did I say, fine,
Speaker 7: thirty one, he's there's always one guy who gives it away.
Speaker 7: He's the man that's gonna turn and open up early.
Speaker 7: So if Dak's giving hard counts at the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 7: he's gonna be looking at thirty one, making it and
Speaker 7: seeing where he's at, and he's usually gonna drop back
Speaker 7: out of there as soon as as soon as dacks
Speaker 7: whatever it might be. Okay, there we go. Yeah, then
Speaker 7: that's what Buyer's going to open his hips up and
Speaker 7: start running towards cover two. You know where it is, Okay,
Speaker 7: I identified it. Now, get to my snap now, and
Speaker 7: if I can get a clean release at the outside, okay,
Speaker 7: whether that's Brandon Cooks, Brandon cook CD, whoever might be
Speaker 7: jaylen Tobert, Michael Gallup, if he's out there, okay, you can.
Speaker 7: You can real a freaking twenty five yard shot right
Speaker 7: in that hole.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 7: I'm not saying that you're going to get that multiple
Speaker 7: times a game, but there might be a third down
Speaker 7: situation where that pays dividends and you can really just
Speaker 7: drive that thing in there. Because that safety wants to
Speaker 7: get deep and over the top. They don't want to
Speaker 7: get beat over the top. Even when they play man
Speaker 7: the man press up front, that safety is about twenty
Speaker 7: five yards deep because they don't want to give up
Speaker 7: that big play.
Speaker 6: So everything you're communicating about the vulnerabilities that they have
Speaker 6: and cover three when they have the single high and
Speaker 6: in Tampa two. How important are Dak size in this game?
Speaker 6: We've seen him utilize that more and more as the
Speaker 6: season has gone on. I've loved the breakdowns that I've
Speaker 6: seen throughout Twitter and YouTube and whatnot about especially on
Speaker 6: that touchdown to Turpin on Thanksgiving, like him just looking
Speaker 6: off the safety moving them around. Boom right there, moving
Speaker 6: linebackers around as well. How important are Dak size in
Speaker 6: this game?
Speaker 7: They're huge eyes and footwork. Safeties watch your eyes, cornerbacks,
Speaker 7: watch your footwork. So why is that because safeties in
Speaker 7: first of all, they can't really see your feet. They
Speaker 7: can't realcount me stead you're taking It's about Dallas is
Speaker 7: what percent? Whatever? No, no, it's not take that back.
Speaker 7: I'll take that back. That was another team. I remember
Speaker 7: what percent is Dallas is in the shotgun. But they're
Speaker 7: in the shotgun a good amount.
Speaker 3: Two seconds sixty two percent, which is twenty second. It's
Speaker 3: below leave average twenty second. In the NFL Eagles, on
Speaker 3: the other hand, they run eighty five percent of their
Speaker 3: snaps oide of the shotgun, their second in the league.
Speaker 7: But as a safety, okay, I want to control you
Speaker 7: with my eyes because you're looking at me. You want
Speaker 7: to see exactly where my head's at. So the reason
Speaker 7: why Dak and in any other quarterback in the league
Speaker 7: is able to control safeties is because when they're looking
Speaker 7: back there, they're in coverage. They're trying to see where
Speaker 7: can they get a one step lead in whatever direction
Speaker 7: you're gonna throw the ball. Right, So if you're the safety,
Speaker 7: I'm dropping back. I'm looking dead at you. Right, you're
Speaker 7: dropping down into the into that middle the of the
Speaker 7: coverage type safety hole. Now I'm gonna go opposite direction, right,
Speaker 7: or if I want to lead you in a direction,
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go ahead and scan to the right. I'm
Speaker 7: gonna get you to shuffle your feet over that way.
Speaker 7: Now I'm coming back to a tight end that's right
Speaker 7: where you left. I just need you to move one
Speaker 7: or two feet, you know, in one direction. That's how small.
Speaker 7: That's all you know. Incremental is this game is everything
Speaker 7: is super tight and from the cornerback's position. Okay, Darius
Speaker 7: slag gets in trouble because he's looking at your feet, right,
Speaker 7: He's looking at He's looking at the feet of Dak
Speaker 7: the entire time. If Dak catches the ball, Boom, he
Speaker 7: sets his feet, he knows he's probably going to be
Speaker 7: a short route. All right, we're talking about a five
Speaker 7: yard route, eight yard route, whatever it might be. That's
Speaker 7: where the cornerbacks are kind of setting their feet and
Speaker 7: kind of looking in right now, if Dak Boom resets
Speaker 7: his feet and he gets back a couple more steps, okay,
Speaker 7: now that turns into a five step It depends. If
Speaker 7: he goes another five then it turns into a seven
Speaker 7: step drop from the gun. So cornerbacks are looking at
Speaker 7: this process of elimination all the time, right, they're Boom,
Speaker 7: They're looking in coverage, They're looking in Okay, Boom, and
Speaker 7: I'm playing his own coverage. Is he setting his feet
Speaker 7: at as soon as he gets the ball? Nope? Okay,
Speaker 7: Now those routes are now out the picture. Now it's
Speaker 7: the next set of routes, right, Okay, does he go
Speaker 7: three steps from the gun or does he go five
Speaker 7: steps from the gun. There's all these route concepts that
Speaker 7: go along with how many steps the quarterback is taking
Speaker 7: based upon not only the depth of routes, but also
Speaker 7: what am I seeing on film. And that's why a
Speaker 7: lot of times, if you can find to some of
Speaker 7: your some of your tails as a quarterback, then you
Speaker 7: can kind of I can't use that word. You can
Speaker 7: kind of trick them, right, You could trick them a
Speaker 7: little bit. You you can trick You could trick guys
Speaker 7: a little bit. And that's not to give a sky exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 7: you can really mess around with cornerbacks. And that's when
Speaker 7: you start seeing quarterbacks really elevate their game because now
Speaker 7: I know what you're reading. I know that you're looking
Speaker 7: at my feet. I know that you're looking at my eyes,
Speaker 7: and I can start moving you in the direction that
Speaker 7: I want to. I can start manipulating your coverages and
Speaker 7: the things that you do at your feet because I
Speaker 7: know what your indicators are from your perspective.
Speaker 9: I don't understand why you're not giving any love to
Speaker 9: Drash Spider. Brandon Graham over here, it's all this sign
Speaker 9: Reddick love.
Speaker 7: I mean, those guys are manageable. They really are. I think,
Speaker 7: I really. I mean, I'm not saying that they're not
Speaker 7: great players. Those guys are really good players. Yeah, I
Speaker 7: think those guys are a relativity managable. Reddick is causing
Speaker 7: everybody problems. Like, seriously, it's not just it's not just Dallas,
Speaker 7: it's not just Terrence Steel. Like he has calls. He
Speaker 7: calls the San Francisco problems, and you could see it
Speaker 7: was a point of emphasis for San fran Don't let
Speaker 7: this do terrorise the game, Like, get a chip on him.
Speaker 7: Take our one of our best players in Kittle and
Speaker 7: screw criticle going down the field. I need you to
Speaker 7: take out seven, right, and we'll get you the ball underneath.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 7: I don't need you going down to field. I know
Speaker 7: you're one of the best tight ends in the entire
Speaker 7: game of football, but guess but I need you to
Speaker 7: chip this guy right here, right, Scott, don't need you
Speaker 7: running down the field. That's how important is to stop
Speaker 7: this guy. If you could stop him again, their coverage
Speaker 7: isn't gonna hold up. So if you have time to
Speaker 7: sit back there. That killed last time against Philly, right,
Speaker 7: he destroyed these guys. So if you can a lot
Speaker 7: for him to have that time and pick these guys apart,
Speaker 7: their coverage sucks. Their guys are undisciplined in the secondary,
Speaker 7: and they don't have the personnel to match up against
Speaker 7: you man to man. So if you can get them
Speaker 7: playing zone, all I need is time.
Speaker 3: Prescott had three hundred and seventy four passing yards, three touchdowns,
Speaker 3: no interceptions in Week nine.
Speaker 5: I was looking at this comparison.
Speaker 3: These are the NFL rankings for four major categories for
Speaker 3: quarterbacks and where Prescott ranks versus where Philly ran in
Speaker 3: the NFL. Completion percentage, DAK is third, Philly is sixteenth
Speaker 3: on completion percentage allowed, Prescott is fifth in passing yards
Speaker 3: per game, Philly twenty ninth. DAK leads the league in
Speaker 3: passing touchdowns, Philly is thirty first, so next to last,
Speaker 3: and then passer rating DAK is second. Philadelphia allows the
Speaker 3: third worst passer rating in the NFL, twenty ninth in
Speaker 3: the league, so an opportunity for DAK to put up
Speaker 3: some phenomenal numbers. And it's interesting to me to think
Speaker 3: about how good Philly is up front. They still provide pressure,
Speaker 3: They still provide a challenge in the front seven. Are
Speaker 3: they really that awful after that linebackers and secondary? I
Speaker 3: mean just guys that are behind that defensive one.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And that's why they went out and picked up Fired. Yeah,
Speaker 7: not Byered, but they picked him up mid season who
Speaker 7: we just talked about. Yeah, she kill Leonard. That's why
Speaker 7: it was so important for them to get him because
Speaker 7: they need that support behind that front. Though. Those guys
Speaker 7: are really good upfront, but they're not pass rushers in
Speaker 7: that sense, right. I mean, sweat is he'll get after you, Graham,
Speaker 7: if you allow for him, he'll get after you.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 7: But it's this seven they don't have. They don't have,
Speaker 7: you know, three four guys that you fear. There's guys
Speaker 7: that you respect, they're not guys that you fear. There's
Speaker 7: one guy on that defensive line in terms of pass
Speaker 7: rush that you fear. Now, when you started talking about
Speaker 7: the rending game, that's a whole other conversation, right, They
Speaker 7: got they have monsters up there that can wreck hav it, Okay,
Speaker 7: and that's why most teams don't run the ball against them,
Speaker 7: except unless you're a san Francisco forty nine ers and
Speaker 7: even on the plays that they ran the ball, well
Speaker 7: somebody was still free, right, they just they just ran
Speaker 7: away from them.
Speaker 6: So from a personnel standpoint, definitely, not from a schematic standpoint,
Speaker 6: would you compare them to the Giants from last season?
Speaker 6: Just they had a dangerous front, but everything kind of
Speaker 6: behind them was working and they're giving up those same
Speaker 6: kind of numbers. But obviously it's much different from a
Speaker 6: schematic standpoint because the Jeah.
Speaker 7: For sure, I think I think that's a fair comparison.
Speaker 7: I think that's a fair comparison. And you know the
Speaker 7: thing that I would say about these guys versus Dam
Speaker 7: is these guys are undisciplined and the gonna hold I'll
Speaker 7: probably I'll probably say safely, there'll be three PI calls
Speaker 7: against they get called. Yeah, I'm saying three called PI calls.
Speaker 7: I was gonna say four before. It's a lot, right,
Speaker 7: But they're safely. I could say that I have confidence
Speaker 7: that they will. They will get three three pass interference
Speaker 7: calls against Dallas because that's what they do. They just
Speaker 7: don't move their feet. Well, they just don't. They're not
Speaker 7: cover guys and slay Slay's not what he used to be.
Speaker 7: Sorry to say it, but he's big place slag. He's
Speaker 7: not what he used to being.
Speaker 1: Draft sweat too, man.
Speaker 6: Why do you feel like Jake Ferguson had such a
Speaker 6: big outing the last time that they lined up seven
Speaker 6: receptions ninety one touchdown.
Speaker 8: They try to they try to minimilar opportunity.
Speaker 7: They try to man them up, They really try. They
Speaker 7: tried their best, but again, they just don't have the
Speaker 7: personnel and we did. They Dallas did a lot of
Speaker 7: double moves, a ton of double moves last time, as
Speaker 7: you watched the film, and because because these guys are
Speaker 7: so overly aggressive and because they don't move their feet, well,
Speaker 7: the only way that you could stop a double move
Speaker 7: is by grabbing, right, I mean, just grab, grab, grab
Speaker 7: all day.
Speaker 5: I mean.
Speaker 7: The route concepts were not they were not they were
Speaker 7: they weren't the don't want to talk about. They weren't
Speaker 7: very vast, but they didn't have to be. I mean,
Speaker 7: they ran a lot of smash concepts, right, whereas like
Speaker 7: a corner a corner route, a hitch route or or
Speaker 7: a whip route on the outside coming back underneath like
Speaker 7: it was very simplistic things but there were things that
Speaker 7: were beating what these guys ran. There was some plays
Speaker 7: that we left on the table too that coach McCarthy
Speaker 7: called up that were very simplistic. You know. Dak, you know,
Speaker 7: had a couple of inaccurate throws that would have been touchdowns,
Speaker 7: but we ended up scoring on a drive, so nobody cared.
Speaker 7: But CD was destroying these guys. Everybody was winning their matchups.
Speaker 7: When you watch the film, everybody was winning their matches.
Speaker 7: Come out they Turpin was winning his matchups. He scored
Speaker 7: a touchdown because he ran what we call a whip
Speaker 7: route right. He went up, ran like he was running
Speaker 7: out of fake slant, whipped it back out to the
Speaker 7: sideline right, and he won. He was a beatst man
Speaker 7: by half a step. Dak put it on him. Yeah,
Speaker 7: little three point turn. I mean, it's just everybody. It
Speaker 7: was like pick your poison. Even on the passes that
Speaker 7: Dak completed, you can look on the other side of
Speaker 7: the field and somebody was open as well.
Speaker 1: If you didn't notice this guy, we can just move on.
Speaker 9: But I just wanted to ask you if in any
Speaker 9: of your films study at all, you noticed number three
Speaker 9: Nolan Smith, the kid out of Georgia. He doesn't play
Speaker 9: a ton, He's only got one sack this year. The
Speaker 9: only reason I bring him up is because you know,
Speaker 9: he was a big guy during the draft, like the
Speaker 9: Jalen Carter and Kobe Dean where just like everybody keeps
Speaker 9: talking about how, like man, the Eagles are just loading
Speaker 9: up on all these Georgia guys. It's going to make
Speaker 9: them pay, And I just haven't noticed. I don't know
Speaker 9: if you guys have noticed Nolan Smith very much at all,
Speaker 9: but I just know that he's a guy that a
Speaker 9: lot of people when they when he fell to them
Speaker 9: just kind of like Ringo and all these Georgia guys.
Speaker 1: There was like they're building the whole Georgia defense like that.
Speaker 9: And now, don't get me wrong, Jaalen Carter is obviously
Speaker 9: lived up to that so far, But I didn't know
Speaker 9: if you noticed him at all.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 7: I think he might have made one play against Dallas
Speaker 7: last time.
Speaker 1: I remember, he didn't play a ton.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he doesn't popped off film. So the only person
Speaker 7: that pops off film for me is Reddick obviously the
Speaker 7: big boys up front in the running Game, and then
Speaker 7: Blake and Ship. He doesn't get any respect out there
Speaker 7: with all these other names out there. But I think
Speaker 7: those are the only few guys that really like flashed me, Like, okay,
Speaker 7: you might want to put some respect on their names.
Speaker 5: Yeah all right.
Speaker 6: See the last time that hold On that these two
Speaker 6: teams played, Nolan Smith had twenty snaps, was one of
Speaker 6: the highest snap Counties had all year.
Speaker 3: Actually, but yeah, sorry, he was dealing with an injury
Speaker 3: coming out of school too, and maybe that's played a
Speaker 3: factor bigger than what Philadelphia had.
Speaker 7: Like Mazzie Smith, some guys just haven't caught on yet.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it happens, Heyzi, he started to pick it up.
Speaker 5: He started out playing better.
Speaker 8: Yeah all right, but a confidence too in him. You
Speaker 8: can see it a little bit.
Speaker 1: Oh, you could see when he was loading that truck. Yes,
Speaker 1: really gift. I mean nobody, nobody took on more gifts
Speaker 1: than Mazzi.
Speaker 7: Good.
Speaker 5: Good for Mazzi.
Speaker 3: Good for Mazzi helping out the Salvation Army. He's doing
Speaker 3: the most good. That's what he's doing.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 3: When we come back, I want to talk about the
Speaker 3: trenches offensive line. Who has the advantage in the trenches
Speaker 3: between the Cowboys offense and the Philly defense. When we
Speaker 3: come back with more talking Cowboys.

Speaker 4: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought
Speaker 4: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be
Speaker 4: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per
Speaker 4: But the good news is Todd has AT and T
Speaker 4: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he
Speaker 4: learned the best thing to do is stop running and
Speaker 4: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and
Speaker 4: T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated.
Speaker 10: Five G requires compatible plan and device. Five G may

Speaker 5: Back here on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 3: This segment of the show is brought to you by
Speaker 3: in Visil, the official smile of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5: Of course, Talking brought to you by Black Rifle Coffee Company.
Speaker 3: Isaiah Stanback, John Machoda, Nick Harris, I'm Kyle Yelmans.
Speaker 5: We've got an interesting stat line for you guys.
Speaker 3: Okay, So, not only do both the Eagles and the
Speaker 3: Cowboys defenses, they both rank inside the top four and
Speaker 3: QB pressures. Of course, the Cowboys lead the NFL with
Speaker 3: a forty six percent QB pressure rate that's the best
Speaker 3: in the NFL according to NFL next Gen Stats. But
Speaker 3: the Cowboys and the Eagles are the only teams in
Speaker 3: the NFL to have more than three combined first team
Speaker 3: selections for All pros along the offensive line. The Cowboys
Speaker 3: have eight all Pro selections and the Eagles have seven.
Speaker 3: And that's combined, by the way, so Zach Martin has six,
Speaker 3: Tyron Smith has two, Jason Kelce has five, and Lane
Speaker 3: Johnson has two. So out of at least all Pro selections,
Speaker 3: I know a lot of those guys are on the
Speaker 3: backside of their career. They've been around for a long time.
Speaker 3: You also talk about Pro Bowls combined, The Cowboys have
Speaker 3: seventeen combined Pro Bowl selections along the offensive line, most
Speaker 3: in the NFL. The Eagles have eleven combined selections, second
Speaker 3: most in the NFL. So what I'm saying is these
Speaker 3: two teams traditionally have been the best trenches in football
Speaker 3: offensive line and then more recently, defensive line. Who has
Speaker 3: the advantage in this matchup?
Speaker 6: I would have to give it to Well, you're asking
Speaker 6: which offensive line is better with which.
Speaker 5: Team has the advantage in the trenches period.
Speaker 8: Gosh, that's a tough one.
Speaker 6: It really could be either or, and when both of
Speaker 6: these teams are healthy and playing like they have been,
Speaker 6: it really does kind of feel like a coin flip.
Speaker 6: But I'm just going to kind of leave it at
Speaker 6: that because you look at the experience you mentioned that
Speaker 6: with Jason Kelsey, Lane Johnson, those guys.
Speaker 7: Have been around.
Speaker 6: Then you look at the experience on the Dallas side,
Speaker 6: Zach Martin, Tyron Smith, those guys have been around.
Speaker 8: Now also come the youth on both sides.
Speaker 6: You got Jordan mylotta where I've just really come to
Speaker 6: love over last year at tackle for the former rugby player,
Speaker 6: and you can see it. He's super physical and he's
Speaker 6: a ginormous human being. And then you look at the
Speaker 6: youth for Dallas and you got Tyler Smith and what
Speaker 6: he's been able to do. He's having an all pro
Speaker 6: type of season. It's almost like a mirror images of
Speaker 6: each other. And how they put those offensive lines together.
Speaker 6: I think they're two of the best offensive lines, maybe
Speaker 6: two of the best three in the league. And whenever
Speaker 6: you see these two guys go up against each other,
Speaker 6: it's definitely fun. And then you just combo that with
Speaker 6: the defensive side of the ball for both of those
Speaker 6: teams as well, and it's again the same thing. Athletic
Speaker 6: pass rushers, youth and their veteran experience, guys that are
Speaker 6: competing for league awards every year.
Speaker 8: So it's really fun.
Speaker 6: I guess if you factor in the defensive line, I
Speaker 6: think I'd give the edge to the Cowboys just because
Speaker 6: of what they've been able to do from a pass
Speaker 6: rush perspective, how they've shared up that run defense in
Speaker 6: the interior so far this year. But if we're looking
Speaker 6: at offensive lines, Like just straight up those five guys,
Speaker 6: it's too close for me.
Speaker 8: To call there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you on all of that. Really,
Speaker 1: the offensive line.
Speaker 9: Though, I will give an edge to the Cowboys as
Speaker 9: of right now with the way they're playing and they're
Speaker 9: being completely healthy. The thing is, though, is that there's
Speaker 9: a part of you that when you cover this team
Speaker 9: long enough, you're just kind of like, well, how long
Speaker 9: is it going to stay this way? And if they
Speaker 9: lose any one of those guys, then to me, it's
Speaker 9: Philly No, No, I just don't think that the next
Speaker 9: guy up, It just is a significant loss for this
Speaker 9: offensive line.
Speaker 1: So as it sits.
Speaker 9: Today, you know, as of today's practice, going into this game,
Speaker 9: I guess I would give a little bit of an
Speaker 9: edge to the Cowboys, but I would be just fine
Speaker 9: if you want to argue the other way.
Speaker 5: Yeah, tooche, tooche, touche.
Speaker 7: I'm nothing more to add one.
Speaker 9: Speaking the offensive lines, real quick, I do think that
Speaker 9: they have a lot of nice pieces on this Cowboys
Speaker 9: roster on both sides of the ball. But I do
Speaker 9: feel right now, even if they finish this whole season
Speaker 9: with that offensive line healthy, if I had to bet
Speaker 9: right now, I think the favorite for their first round
Speaker 9: pick is an offensive lineman. Would you guys agree or
Speaker 9: disagree with that?
Speaker 8: Cowboys?
Speaker 9: Yeah, Like, it's obviously not going to be. It probably
Speaker 9: won't be a top twenty pick. You know, it might
Speaker 9: be it's going to be in the back end. But
Speaker 9: I just feel like, whether it's guard, tackle, whatever. I'm
Speaker 9: not saying it's a large advantage, but I'd say if
Speaker 9: someone was like, you have to bet right now on
Speaker 9: what position while the Cowboys draft in the first round,
Speaker 9: just knowing what you know right now, I would probably
Speaker 9: say the offensive line.
Speaker 3: I would too, And I mean you look at some
Speaker 3: of the other position groups of need if you. I mean,
Speaker 3: I'm just saying that because of contract situations. Running back,
Speaker 3: you're not going to draft a running back in the
Speaker 3: first round. You feel pretty good about wide receiver and
Speaker 3: what you have moving forward there. You feel good about
Speaker 3: tight end, you feel offensive line will get to that
Speaker 3: in a second.
Speaker 5: Defensive line you feel good.
Speaker 3: Linebacker, You're not going to spend a first round pick
Speaker 3: on corner you feel good, Secondary you feel good, or
Speaker 3: safeties you feel good. I think it's a no brainer
Speaker 3: it would be a favorite to go get an offensive lineman,
Speaker 3: especially with the revolving door, with what you have from
Speaker 3: the age standpoint of Tyron Smith and Zach Martin, I
Speaker 3: would be right there with you at close.
Speaker 1: It seems like they almost took an offensive lineman last
Speaker 1: year in the pest.
Speaker 3: They've been looking for the last two years to do that,
Speaker 3: and they did, of course with Tyler's Smith.
Speaker 5: And then they almost did it again last year.
Speaker 9: And this is the best player we'll get to you.
Speaker 9: It's the best player available. Team they certainly will look
Speaker 9: that way. But I'm just saying, if you had to
Speaker 9: bat right now on a position group, I just think
Speaker 9: they want to do what All right, go ahead, Oh nothing.
Speaker 7: I don't much to say. I mean, just myself and
Speaker 7: Nate Newton just beating the table for what for the
Speaker 7: last year for office lineman in the first round. Yes,
Speaker 7: I was about to say, you guys, guys didn't want
Speaker 7: to old lineman in the first this year, we.
Speaker 5: All wanted an offensive lineman.
Speaker 1: I wasn't on the show.
Speaker 8: I don't Yeah, you didn't know me when the draft happened.
Speaker 7: First off, No, this helps speaking for myself, I don't
Speaker 7: know I want it. I wanted a first rounder. I
Speaker 7: wanted a big name free agent. But Denver took care
Speaker 7: of all that. They got all of them.
Speaker 5: It's working out for him.
Speaker 7: It's starting to Yeah. I wanted a first round of
Speaker 7: this year. I just really did. And obviously they went
Speaker 7: a little bit lower and they got somebody for some debt.
Speaker 7: But you got it. You have to spend. You have
Speaker 7: to spend as much money as you're about to pay Dack.
Speaker 7: You better go out there and spend some brand on
Speaker 7: somebody that's a sure thing on the old line to
Speaker 7: protect them.
Speaker 6: The question I do have is do you go get
Speaker 6: a guard and to bump in future bump Tyler Smith
Speaker 6: out to attack whenever Tyrone is done, or do you
Speaker 6: want Tyler to focus on guard?
Speaker 7: I would go get a guard.
Speaker 8: Gosh, I feel like you could go either way there.
Speaker 7: I guess it depends. I think it depends on what's
Speaker 7: out there right right. If you have a dog out
Speaker 7: there that's a that's a tackle, go get that dog.
Speaker 5: Well, you best player available at that point.
Speaker 3: If the best player on the offensive line is a
Speaker 3: guard taken, you move.
Speaker 7: Okay, So what if you have a guard and tackle
Speaker 7: ranked the same Say that again, what if you have
Speaker 7: a guarden and tackle rate it the same.
Speaker 9: I think you would lead tackle because of the position value.
Speaker 9: I think I might lead guard just because I do
Speaker 9: feel confident with Terren Steele and Tyler Smith going forward,
Speaker 9: and I would hope that that guard to be drafted
Speaker 9: in the first round has some a little bit of
Speaker 9: guard center flexibility. I would like to have a guard
Speaker 9: that has some backup center flexibility for potential debt purposes.
Speaker 9: So I think I would lead that way. But I
Speaker 9: think this team would go would go tackle.
Speaker 3: Well, if you're looking at the breadcrumbs of what almost
Speaker 3: happened last year whenever it was down to the wire
Speaker 3: twenty seventh overall pick and it was Mazzi Smith on
Speaker 3: the board or they were debating Matthew Bergeron from Syracuse.
Speaker 3: Bergeron was a guard who had center possibilities. So maybe
Speaker 3: based off of what they've been seeing in the past,
Speaker 3: they would go guard with some center backup possibility there too.
Speaker 3: So I think they would still value tackle higher, just
Speaker 3: because that's that's the value of the position of finding
Speaker 3: a solid tackle. You could keep Tyler Smith at guard.
Speaker 3: He's been phenomenal there beyond up this year.
Speaker 8: Yes, yes he is.
Speaker 3: I center could be there too, you could beef up
Speaker 3: that position. I think there's there's ways that this offensive
Speaker 3: line could get better. It doesn't necessarily have to be
Speaker 3: pingeonholed in the one specific situation.
Speaker 6: I will say, I haven't gone all the way through
Speaker 6: my draft prep, but so far, it's looking like a
Speaker 6: really deep guard class. There would be really good opportunities
Speaker 6: in the first three rounds. Like you look at a
Speaker 6: guy like Christian Haynes out of Connecticut in the first round.
Speaker 6: Cooper Bebe is a guy out of Kansas State that
Speaker 6: a lot of people have started to love recently, and
Speaker 6: I thought he was coming out last year and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: he's gonna end up being a second or third round guy.
Speaker 6: And then Donovan Jackson out of Ohio State. He's still
Speaker 6: up in the air about if he's gonna enter or not.
Speaker 6: But that's another really interesting guy you would look at.
Speaker 6: But really good guard class so far that I'm seeing.
Speaker 5: I love draft talk. This is awesome.
Speaker 8: Guys.
Speaker 6: Yeah, don't get me going ya shouldn't have got me
Speaker 6: going back in the bag, all right, and Christian offensive guard.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 3: We are wrapping things up here on talking Cowboys. Will
Speaker 3: be back tomorrow, John. Before we go what's your pick
Speaker 3: for Sunday?
Speaker 9: I mean, I'm telling you, since the day the schedule
Speaker 9: came out, I haven't wavered at all. I just I've
Speaker 9: always thought that it was going to be the Cowboys
Speaker 9: that would I thought the Cowboys would lose in Philadelphia,
Speaker 9: and when when they come back here and there's no
Speaker 9: reason for me to think there's nothing that's changed. And
Speaker 9: this is before I knew that Dak Prescott was going
Speaker 9: to go in like the best stretch of his his career,
Speaker 9: and so I like the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with what what.
Speaker 9: Was the score when they just played with a twenty
Speaker 9: twenty eight twenty three flip?
Speaker 7: Okay?
Speaker 5: Interesting?
Speaker 3: I like that, a little flip of it, nicely done.
Speaker 5: Isaiah was ready to toss the microphone.
Speaker 1: I was ready for it, covering my wes.
Speaker 3: You you're gonna toss it. We'll give our picks tomorrow
Speaker 3: and we'll outline the rest of the NFL slate as
Speaker 3: well as we're back to a say it with your
Speaker 3: chest Friday here at the Star in Frisco. But that
Speaker 3: does it for us today for Chris be and Isaiah
Speaker 3: stand back, John Manhoda, Nick Harris, I'm caw Yeoman saying
Speaker 3: so long, We'll see tomorrow with more talking Cowboys.
