Speaker 5: Absolutely?

Speaker 6: Yeah?

11
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: And so much for that.

12
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.

13
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 2: We were right with mbar Garcia, Brian brought us, Patrick Wolker,

14
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 2: and Derek Eagleton.

15
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 7: It is Monday, October second, twenty twenty three, Season nineteen,

16
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 7: episode number forty three. Welcome to the latest edition of

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 7: The Break. We are live from the SWBC boy studios

18
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 7: at the Star and today we're talking about the Cowboys win.

19
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 7: They get back on the win to their winning ways.

20
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 7: They beat New England thirty eight to three at home,

21
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 7: and now it all sets up for the game we've

22
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 7: been waiting for Cowboys versus forty nine Ers. But before

23
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 7: we get to that, today we will recap the game,

24
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 7: tell you what went right and wrong for the Cowboys.

25
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 7: We'll talk about this defense that did a little more

26
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 7: of what it's been doing in the first two weeks

27
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 7: of the season, and also talk about a bit about

28
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 7: the offense and what Dak Prescott was able to do yesterday.

29
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 7: Let's get it going. Let's start first on the defensive

30
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 7: side of the ball. Yesterday they allowed two hundred and

31
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 7: fifty three yards as two hundred passing fifty three rushing.

32
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 7: And actually, before I get to that real quick, let's

33
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 7: go around and see what everybody's storyline of the game

34
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 7: was coming out of that game. What do you think

35
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 7: is the big picture storyline you'll remember from Week four

36
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 7: of the twenty twenty three NFL season, sybody Patrick.

37
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 8: Other than the Cowboys handing Bill Belichick his worst loss

38
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 8: at South Carline.

39
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: That's a massive storyline.

40
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 8: I mean, obviously, when you're going against someone that cerebral

41
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 8: as Bill Belichick, you always have concerns, and then you

42
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 8: know you have the subplots of Ezekiel Elliott and Will

43
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 8: Greer being quote unquote interrogated and hand signals and all

44
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 8: of that. But the Cowboys again showed resiliency. I mean,

45
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 8: they hadn't lost two consecutive games since November of twenty

46
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 8: twenty one. Question was could they protect home field? And

47
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 8: they not only go in and do that yesterday, but

48
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 8: the fashion in which they did it was just flat

49
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 8: out impressive. They executed and I've said it and I'm

50
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 8: going to continue to say this Cowboys team is going

51
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 8: to go as their run defense goes. One week after letting,

52
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 8: you know, allow two hundred and twenty two yards on

53
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 8: the ground in Arizona, you hold Remandre Stevenson the thirty

54
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 8: yards and Ezekiel Elliott and emotionally charged to Ezekiel Elliott

55
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 8: to only sixteen yards on the ground. That allowed the

56
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 8: Cowboys to earn their pass rush and from there they

57
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 8: teed off and you gotta love it.

58
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: So the win is huge.

59
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 8: The fashion in which they did it makes it that

60
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 8: much more meaningful and puts them back on solid ground

61
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 8: for what we know is an all important game in

62
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 8: Santa Clara.

63
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 9: Coming up a lot of good things to talk about

64
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 9: on defense, special teams, but also offense. Everything we saw

65
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 9: from them, I know there's still work to be done

66
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 9: around the red zone, but you saw improvement. Was a

67
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 9: red zone? Was a twenty yard line? That was confusing?

68
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, but he did saything idea. You were like, yeah,

69
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 7: I learned something new today.

70
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, Yeah, I asked pr. I'm like, so, wouldn't like

71
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 9: if you're on the freaking twenty yard line, doesn't that

72
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 9: count as red zone?

73
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: No?

74
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: It does not.

75
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 9: Your tone needs to be passing the line, you need

76
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 9: to be inside anyways, just it is promising and it

77
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 9: gives you something that Okay, now we got something. You

78
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 9: feel like they're working with something you see and you

79
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 9: weren't expected at least. I wasn't expecting a night and

80
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 9: day difference as far as improvement in just one week.

81
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 9: But they were able to show different things offensively where

82
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 9: it gives you promise to like, okay, they're trending upwards.

83
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 9: Now they're changing some things around any it shows to

84
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 9: be working.

85
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

86
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 10: I was surprised how easily they were blocking the Patriots front,

87
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 10: especially when it came to throwing the football. I felt

88
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 10: like that maybe the Patriots were going to try some things.

89
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 10: I was worried a little bit about Patriots coverage. I

90
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 10: think when Gonzales got hurt that kind of took them

91
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 10: out of some things they might wanted to do coverage wise,

92
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 10: traveling wise. Initially in the game, they didn't start off

93
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 10: traveling Gonzalez with say Lamb. I thought that maybe that

94
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 10: was something that they would try initially. They didn't never

95
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 10: got to that because Gonzales got hurt. But it was

96
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 10: really a nice effort up front for the Cowboys. The

97
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 10: one sack that they had was a little disturbing was

98
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 10: the one that Dietrich Wise had where really four guys

99
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 10: missed on the play. You know, it's like they run

100
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 10: a two man game and then all of a sudden,

101
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,799
Speaker 10: it's like three guys are kind of looking and another

102
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 10: one's trying to look, and say, you have two guys reacting,

103
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 10: one guy not reacting. It was a little bit of

104
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 10: a mess that way, but overall, the way that they

105
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 10: were able to have time throwing the football and even

106
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 10: when there was a little bit of pressure, receivers did

107
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 10: a great job at driving routes coming back to the ball.

108
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 10: Dak put it where it needed to be, So a

109
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 10: lot of positive on that side of it.

110
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 7: Let's talk about the defense specifically. As I mentioned a

111
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,559
Speaker 7: little earlier, they allowed two hundred and fifty three yards

112
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 7: two hundred passing fifty three on the ground. Going to

113
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 7: Patrick's first point about the fact that they stopped the

114
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 7: run this week and how effective they are when they

115
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 7: can do that. The other thing note there was they

116
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 7: had seven quarterback hits and two sacks eighteen quarterback pressures.

117
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 7: They didn't get the number of sacks that they've been

118
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 7: getting when they've been successful. But the pressures were definitely there,

119
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 7: and you could certainly feel that in the eighteen times

120
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 7: that they pressured mac Jones. Would you guys assess that

121
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 7: defense overall yesterday?

122
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 8: I thought it looked fantastic. And it's a perfect example

123
00:05:54,120 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 8: of why although sacks matter, why it's mind boggling people

124
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 8: kind of disregard disruptions and QB pressures and QB hits

125
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 8: because all of those things go to the overall category

126
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 8: of disruptions, and the Cowboys were insanely disruptive on yesterday. No,

127
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 8: they didn't walk away with five, six or seven sacks,

128
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 8: but they did force mac Jones into a passer rating

129
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 8: and thirty nine point nine ultimately got him pulled from

130
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 8: the game. For Bailly Zappi, they forced him into two interceptions,

131
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 8: which also goes to dron Bland quickly coming into his

132
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 8: own as boundary corner. And now I think that's also

133
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 8: helping the Cowboys as a defensive unit try to find

134
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 8: their identity in the post Digs era for this season

135
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 8: until Digg's come back in twenty four. So when you,

136
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 8: like we talked about when you earned that pass rush

137
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 8: by stopping the run, and that stopping the run was

138
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 8: made effective because the front four was winning their matchups

139
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 8: and that allowed guys like Leyton Vandersh who was reading,

140
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 8: reacting and executing filling gaps. He was magnificent. Damon Clark

141
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 8: helped in that capacity as well. Now you're forcing the

142
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 8: guy to throw. And when you forced the guy throw

143
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 8: against the Cowboys defense that loves to take the ball

144
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 8: away in the air as much as they love to

145
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 8: take it away on the ground, it's a recipe for

146
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 8: disaster for you. And that's what happened with the Patriots yesterday.

147
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 8: So I think it was masterclass by the Cowboys. Dan

148
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 8: Quinn had those boys ready to play some football.

149
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

150
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 9: I can care less about sacks and stats and any

151
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 9: of that whatsoever when your defense is playing the way

152
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 9: that they did they did when you got guys they're

153
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 9: on blind Leyton vandor Esh getting in the end zone

154
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 9: and scoring points for you. And going back to stopping

155
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 9: the run that has been the main problem for the defense.

156
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 9: We saw it last weekend, and then just seeing them adapt,

157
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 9: adjust and make those changes and improving an area that

158
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 9: has been their weakest point. I'm just I was super

159
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 9: excited by everything. So I'm sure Micah left that game

160
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 9: a little bit upset about himself, you know, not being

161
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 9: able to shoot.

162
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 7: I'll talk about that a little bit.

163
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 9: No, and he should not because what he's doing, his

164
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 9: presence and everything that he's doing creating opportunities for everybody

165
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 9: else to play the way that they did. So even

166
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 9: guys like Golston when he's doing those plays, I mean,

167
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 9: you got to credit mic along with that, but I'm

168
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 9: going back to him as a player. We know Mike

169
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 9: how competitive his But either way, credit to everyone on

170
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 9: defense and the great job that they were able to.

171
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, his pressure. I don't know why the on that

172
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 10: first drive, the Patriots through the football on third.

173
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: And one down there on the goal line. I you know,

174
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: I felt like they were going to.

175
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 10: Try and run it down there and see if they

176
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 10: could make some hay out of that. It might have

177
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 10: been a you know, it might have been something they

178
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 10: thought about, but they didn't. They tried to throw the

179
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 10: ball at the back of the end zone and might

180
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 10: Gasicki and Parsons pressure forced mac Jones to throw the

181
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 10: ball too far. You know, you know, it's a decent

182
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 10: play call, but that pressure from Parsons, you know, it

183
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 10: really forced mac Jones to have to make a quick decision.

184
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: And you know, Kasiki was a clear of Hooker.

185
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 10: In the end zone and so you know, if he

186
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 10: has time to throw that ball, then maybe it's a

187
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 10: touchdown there. But you know that pressure is what adds

188
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 10: up there. The scoop and score was really a great

189
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 10: backside pressure as well when they you know, when Fowler

190
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 10: beats his guy in the way he was able to

191
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 10: track mac Jones, Mack never felt him there and so

192
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 10: to hammer the ball.

193
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 3: The thing that concerned me about.

194
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 10: The defense was the forty two yard pass play that

195
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 10: they gave up in this game. And it's We've seen

196
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 10: this a couple of times when Dallas is bad on defense,

197
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 10: they lose coverage, they lose and I was trying to

198
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 10: figure out by watching the tape. They're playing man on

199
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 10: the outside, they're playing zone on the inside, and you

200
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 10: get a route that comes across and you don't know

201
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 10: if they're supposed to pass it, and again this is

202
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 10: curse and Hooker playing inside. Everybody else has got manned.

203
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,359
Speaker 10: They've got everybody locked up. But then the route materializes

204
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 10: where it turns across and now it goes into into

205
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 10: a Curse's zone and they just lose. And then Curse

206
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 10: gets kind of caught in no man's land. Here's the

207
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 10: quarterback moving and just throws the ball over the top,

208
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 10: and and you know, they give up a big play.

209
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 10: But you know, you got to wonder about that sometimes

210
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 10: when they give up these chunk plays. We saw it

211
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 10: happen in the Arizona game. They lose track of a

212
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 10: guy in route, big play sixty nine yards. Again this week,

213
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 10: lose track of a guy inside running the route, big play.

214
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 10: You know, you can't have that happen in the game.

215
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 10: It didn't kill him in this situation, but we've seen

216
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 10: it two weeks in a row. Now, good defense for

217
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 10: the majority of the game, and then all of a sudden,

218
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 10: you give up two big chunk plays like that back

219
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 10: to back.

220
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 8: You know, what I definitely did love about the defensive

221
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 8: line is that you had you have guys that are

222
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 8: getting their legs back, like Donovan Wilson. He had a

223
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 8: much better day than he had in Arizona, which was

224
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 8: his first game back. But when you see the interior

225
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 8: of the Cowboys defensive line in names like Neville Gallimore

226
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 8: start to flash, and then you see Mizzie Smith, although

227
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 8: you won't see him on the stat line, but he

228
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 8: was able to push the pocket a few times and

229
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 8: arguably he had the best showing so far in his

230
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 8: young career. When those guys start to step up, in

231
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 8: addition to some of the bigger name guys that you

232
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 8: expect to step up, Jonathan Hankins and Chauncey Ghosten and

233
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 8: of course Osa Diggie Zoo on that interior, and then

234
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 8: you have Michael Parsons and his presence and you know,

235
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 8: disruptions and being able to take away you know, the

236
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 8: ability for other teams to try to shade one way

237
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 8: or the other. I mean, this Cowboys defense as long

238
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 8: as they continue to execute, and I keep harping on

239
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 8: that word execution, execution, execution. If they continue to execute,

240
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 8: the only team that can beat them is themselves.

241
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 7: When you talk about the run defense, was there something

242
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 7: that you guys saw that was different in what they

243
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 7: did this week versus Arizona or do you think it

244
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 7: was just better execution of what their roles were.

245
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 10: I don't know why more teams don't try and do

246
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 10: what Arizona did when it comes to running the football

247
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 10: with not I think that with New England and give

248
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 10: Dallas credit for this. They did a nice job along

249
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 10: the defensive line. When you start to talk about the

250
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 10: physicality which they played with, the ability to state square

251
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 10: not get hooked, you know, the linebackers were much better

252
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 10: shape when this team's had trouble. I think now in

253
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 10: this this is something that maybe somebody will take advantage of.

254
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 3: We'll see.

255
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 10: But when they play their diying package, they're running the

256
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 10: ball at these linebackers that are defensive backs, they're kind

257
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 10: of figuring out, Okay, is Kurse going to be able

258
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 10: to hang in there? Is Bell going to be able

259
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 10: to hang in there? Is Wilson going to be able

260
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 10: to hang in there? When they're having to deal with

261
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 10: blockers that get up on them. You know that's going

262
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 10: to be the key going for the Cowboys. You know,

263
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 10: how you play your run defense against how the offenses

264
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 10: attack this Dallas defense will be Now, can these linebackers

265
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 10: or these safeties who are playing down in the box,

266
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 10: if linemen are getting free runs at them, that's a

267
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 10: problem for the Cowboys.

268
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 3: It didn't.

269
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 10: It showed up a couple of times yesterday in a

270
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 10: couple of the runs they had. But I would worry

271
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 10: about a team that really really runs the ball well

272
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 10: and then all of a sudden they're like, Okay, we're

273
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 10: going to make you with that bubble. That linebacker who

274
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 10: is a safety, who's not a big guy, We're going

275
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 10: to make you defend the run with him. And I

276
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 10: think that's what Arizona did. The Pinn and poll stuff

277
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 10: was really effective. Didn't see any of that really from

278
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 10: from New England. Just a couple of times they ran

279
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 10: guys that pulled. But the Cowboys did a great job

280
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 10: of hanging in there when they had to, you know,

281
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 10: dealing with the run, staying square, playing downhill, and then

282
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 10: finishing the play the moon. Clark played the best game

283
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 10: he's played in four for the Cowboys this year.

284
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 8: Shades are big, Yes, I like it, big win, shades

285
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 8: come back, Yes, that's how we roll up.

286
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 7: Oh, you know it was interesting to me, Brian on

287
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 7: that point though, I actually saw that that demon Clark

288
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 7: actually played only forty five percent of the snap. Yeah,

289
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 7: and Bell actually played forty percent of the snap, which

290
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 7: made me think the Cowboys maybe were doing a little

291
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 7: bit more of having those safeties in there. Yeah, at

292
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 7: that linebacker.

293
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 10: Well, it turned into a game where they knew New

294
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 10: England was going to have to throw the football, so the.

295
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 3: Run game was just completely out the window. I think

296
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 3: that the Moone.

297
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 10: Clark, I wanted to believe that the Moon Clark was

298
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 10: a guy that could play all downs and never come

299
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 10: off the field.

300
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if they completely trust him again.

301
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 10: And that's just a thought by me, not anything to

302
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 10: anybody said to me or anything like that. But I

303
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 10: just wonder when it turns into a passing game, having

304
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 10: Bell on the field is at a little bit of

305
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 10: a difference with the way they play their coverage.

306
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 7: Yep, all right, we're gonna take our first break. When

307
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 7: we come back, we're going to jump into the offense.

308
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 7: Talk a little bit about Dak in his day and

309
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 7: some of the skill players and how they play. We'll

310
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 7: talk about that when we come back. Dallas Cowboys dot Com.

311
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 11: Redo Todd thought it would be secure to jog in

312
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 11: the cheatah Savannah.

313
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 4: Todd believed the big Cat.

Speaker 7: nine zero three two nine eight. Let's talk about Dak

380
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 7: Prescott yesterday. It's twenty eight to thirty four, eighty two

381
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 7: percent completion rate, two hundred and sixty one yards through

382
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 7: the air, one touchdown, no interceptions, A one hundred and

383
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 7: eight point five quarterback rate neat rating. He also threw

384
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 7: uh to. He completed passes to nine different receivers. Uh

385
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 7: did have Schoonmaker who he targeted three times, who didn't

386
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 7: get a catch that would have been ten. But all

387
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 7: in all, good day for Dak Prescott. How did you

388
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 7: guys assess his play?

389
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 8: I think he was surgical again and like you mentioned,

390
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 8: with no interceptions. It's his third out of three out

391
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 8: of four games he's not turned the ball over, so

392
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 8: he's playing you know, clean football and not putting his

393
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 8: defense in bad positions where they have to come back

394
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 8: out and fight against the time of possession battle and

395
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 8: then that you're fighting against your own fatigue and then

396
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 8: sloppiness and like of execution comes from that. But I

397
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 8: mean Dak Prescott. You look at the first offensive driving.

398
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 8: There's a reason the Cowboys lead the league and offensive

399
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 8: drives that have ten plus plays or more, and that's

400
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 8: because of Dak Prescott in a large part. And the

401
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 8: red zone issues come from again. And you're gonna get

402
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 8: tired of me saying it. I'm tired of hearing me

403
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 8: say it's execution. The drop by Schoolmaker that should have

404
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 8: been Dak Prescott's first touchdown the handoff to Tony Pollard

405
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 8: on third and one where they collided. Execution right, little

406
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 8: things that can be cleaned up, but need to be

407
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 8: cleaned up. But from an aspect of what Dak Prescott,

408
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 8: Dak Prescott did in the air, I mean, he was

409
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 8: in complete command for the most part. He spread the

410
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 8: ball around very well, and he's really finding that security

411
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 8: blanket in Jake Ferguson that he once had with Dalton Schultz.

412
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 8: Ferguson seven targets, seven catches, seventy seven yards magic number seven.

413
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: What is that?

414
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 8: Twelve catches one hundred and twenty five yards over the

415
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 8: last two games from Dak to Jake. So that connection

416
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 8: I think has become kind of the stabilizing force while

417
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 8: the Texas Coast offense tries to figure out things outside

418
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:08,719
Speaker 8: of that.

419
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: So that'll be promising going forward.

420
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, I feel like Dak has become more mature this year,

421
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 9: Like there's something about his game, probably that he's just

422
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,719
Speaker 9: freaking tired of hearing. Yeah, we got a little bit

423
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 9: of that yesterday at the press conference. Good stuff, but

424
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 9: it's wonderful. But I just think he's still lacking that

425
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 9: like and I really thought and that's why I chose

426
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 9: Dak to get the first rushing touchdown. I really thought

427
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 9: that part of the red zone work that they were

428
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 9: doing this week was going to involve at Dak Prescott

429
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 9: that gets out of the pocket and runs and gets

430
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 9: in the end zone, and we didn't really get to

431
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 9: see that, and I was disappointed about that. But I

432
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 9: think that's part of the game that's kind of missing

433
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 9: from him right now. It's just kind of letting it

434
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 9: lose a little bit. At the same time, I don't

435
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 9: think they're playing super super conservative. I think that he

436
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 9: some of those throws that he's thrown down down the

437
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 9: field has been really really good. But that's the missing

438
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 9: part that I think for me is where where the

439
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 9: game is lacking. It's just letting him be free a

440
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 9: little bit, use his legs, use his body. But all

441
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 9: in all, I think he's he's done a great job.

442
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 9: I think the fact that you saw him connect with

443
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 9: so many different receivers that's exciting because now you see

444
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 9: McCarthy allowing all the different weapons to be utilized. And

445
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 9: Patrick just mentioned those little errors that did occur. But

446
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 9: all in all, I think he did a really good job.

447
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think that to me that the routes were deeper,

448
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 10: the opportunities were deeper. Receivers did a better job of

449
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 10: getting open for him. They did a better job of

450
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 10: finishing for him when he put the ball on target.

451
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 10: The decision making I thought was good.

452
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 3: To a point.

453
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 10: The pass that he threw to Gallop in the early

454
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 10: on the first drive was a really nice read by him.

455
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 10: A corner falling off and then you know Gallup still

456
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 10: maintaining leverage going up the field. Dak saw that when

457
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 10: when the corner dropped, he knew, Okay, that's where I'm

458
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 10: going to go with the ball. They were trying to

459
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 10: kind of maybe think about the ball was going to

460
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 10: go to Lamb, but that when the case, Dak did

461
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 10: a good job of getting.

462
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 3: The ball to the outside.

463
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 10: He's going to look at the tape today and he's

464
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 10: going to see that he should have pulled the ball

465
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 10: twice on a Reid option. He's going to see he

466
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 10: had a walk in touchdown with Ferguson. It's a play

467
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 10: we've seen with the Kellen Moore regime before where they

468
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 10: bring the tight end across.

469
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 3: And he's going to lead Dak.

470
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 10: He hands the ball inside the Pollard it's a three

471
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 10: yard gain, but we've seen it before where he's where

472
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 10: the tight end has led him in. We see Schultz

473
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 10: lead him in before. There was two times where I

474
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 10: felt like that he could have walked this thing in

475
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 10: if he wanted to, but he chose to give the

476
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 10: ball inside.

477
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 3: That's the read that he made. And I think when

478
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 3: he watches the.

479
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 10: Tape, he's gonna say next time, I'm gonna pull that.

480
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 10: Because after the play, you see you see Ferguson like

481
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 10: turn around to him and like slap him on the

482
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 10: chest like what are you doing kind of a thing,

483
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 10: and you see Dak kind of like I know, I

484
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 10: get it, you know that kind of thing. So but overall,

485
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 10: the way through the football was well. He move around

486
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 10: in the pocket, the way he delivered the ball, decision

487
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 10: making and finding the open guys on the routes. But

488
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 10: like I said, I think he's gonna look at the

489
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 10: run option stuff and say, man, I got to pull

490
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 10: that next time. I think I could walk this thing.

491
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 9: I think that's the most frustrating part when watching yesterday's

492
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:51,479
Speaker 9: game in the red zone area, you see them playing

493
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 9: so well, moving the ball so well prior to getting there.

494
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 9: Then they get there and every play that they make

495
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 9: it is so close, like they're just right there and

496
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 9: something happens. It doesn't work out him running into Pollard,

497
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 9: I mean.

498
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 3: Get out of the way.

499
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 10: But see, I think that was really on Pollard because

500
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 10: what happens the hole opens up, and I think Pollard

501
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 10: was looking to where he was going to go, and

502
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 10: what happened It opened up to the right of where

503
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 10: the center was, and so Pollock's probably got his eyes

504
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 10: up and his eyes are taking him to that direction

505
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 10: and Prescott's kind of standing there like, wait a minute,

506
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 10: I'm in your path now.

507
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 3: So yeah, you're you're right about the way.

508
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 10: That there's sometimes like there's things that happened that they

509
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 10: have miss blocks, you know, Stell I don't think Steele

510
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 10: was really as good as he normally is in the

511
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 10: red zone with some of the blocks that he had.

512
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 10: They had a little bit of some trouble securing some

513
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 10: of those down linemen, and you know, those are the

514
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 10: things that kind of kill you when.

515
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 3: You run the ball.

516
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 10: And you know, I think the thing with Hunter Lipkey,

517
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 10: I mean that was a well designed Again, Ferguson runs

518
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 10: the Ferguson with a really good seal block Brandon Cooks.

519
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 10: They bring him in motion and set in there and

520
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 10: he gets block right at the point of attack. So

521
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 10: that's how you have to find a way to get

522
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 10: these some of these touchdowns in this If you get

523
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 10: these guys, put them in position, and they're able to finish.

524
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: You know.

525
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 7: The interesting thing about it is, I actually look at

526
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 7: the red zone offense and I have reason to believe

527
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 7: it'll get better over the season because of the kind

528
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 7: because of the reasons why they're not getting in right now.

529
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 7: It would be one thing if it was one or

530
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 7: two players that were always making the mistakes and you

531
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 7: were like, man, we're not getting rid of this guy.

532
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 7: But he's a problem in the red zone. He's they

533
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 7: don't have a good runner in the red zone, or

534
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 7: they have an offensive line who's all who can never

535
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 7: secure his block.

536
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 3: In the red zone.

537
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 7: It's not that it's almost on every play. It's almost

538
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 7: like there's a different thing that's happening. And that's just

539
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 7: to me something that as season goes on, more repetitions,

540
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 7: the hope is that they will get better and get

541
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 7: more consistent.

542
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 10: The thing they have to figure out is how many

543
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 10: plays are you going to put in the game plan

544
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 10: where you're trying to fool somebody, because they've had some

545
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 10: red zone struggles this year where they've just they've they've

546
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 10: they're thinking, Okay, this fake or this movement will draw

547
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 10: this guy inside. For example, you know that they try

548
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 10: and they've got a good idea. They're gonna try and

549
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 10: throw the ball to Gallop. It's one of the sacks

550
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 10: that Prescott's Prescott gets against Tavai, you know, and they're

551
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 10: gonna try and fool him with the run. They're gonna say,

552
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 10: full flow run to the right and they're gonna hope

553
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 10: that he trails down inside and then Dak's gonna loop

554
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 10: and they're gonna throw a little pivot route to the outside,

555
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 10: a little little in and out route to Gallop and

556
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 10: it's it's there. The problem is they don't fool the

557
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 10: in man. He doesn't go down. And they've had it

558
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 10: a couple of different times where they've left guys unblocked

559
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 10: and they're saying, Okay, this heavy playfake is going to carry.

560
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 3: Guys away, and it just has it. They've they've had.

561
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 10: Two three plays this season where they've just guys have

562
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 10: been left unblocked and.

563
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 3: They're not fooled.

564
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 7: Is that also because they haven't been as successful running

565
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 7: the ball down there? Because if you're not being that successful,

566
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 7: then nobody's gonna like really take that hard playfake, Yeah,

567
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 7: because they're like zoom running well anyway.

568
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 10: They assume that people are gonna be undisciplined down there.

569
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 10: You really do, I mean to me, that's it happened

570
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 10: in Arizona, it happened this past week. You know, you

571
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 10: just assume that that this guy is going to go

572
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 10: flying down inside. And you know, to your point, I

573
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 10: don't know if it's so much about the running the

574
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 10: ball down there?

575
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 3: Is it?

576
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 10: Is it more that you're playing against teams they have

577
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 10: to think, okay, we have have we seen this guy before?

578
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 3: Chase?

579
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 10: You know, to me, that's where I would base the

580
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 10: game plan. If you've got somebody that's super aggressive always

581
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 10: chasing the ball down inside, I could see doing that.

582
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 10: But they've had a couple of different times now where

583
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 10: they've tried to do movement on the goal line and

584
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 10: it hasn't affected the.

585
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 3: Guy they're trying to move.

586
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 10: That's where I kind of maybe some rethought about what

587
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 10: you're doing game plan wise, skime wise.

588
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 7: Speaking, of the red zone. One area we did. They

589
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,239
Speaker 7: did get one positive note coming out of that. They

590
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 7: use Hunter Lefki down there. He gets into the end zone.

591
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 7: We talked about it last week, and does that Does

592
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 7: that kind of make you think, okay, if they if

593
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 7: they're getting that, if they're starting to realize he could

594
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 7: be that guy in that area, that that could be

595
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 7: at least the impetus to get the red zone offense

596
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 7: moving in the right direction. And then from there you

597
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 7: play off of that with other things. But you know,

598
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 7: you can maybe rely on him a little bit more

599
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 7: in those tight situations just handing the ball into the

600
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 7: end zone.

601
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 10: More so handing him the ball than letting him block.

602
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 10: He's not and that's he's a young guy. He'll learn,

603
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 10: but they're his blocking down there is not as good

604
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 10: as it needs to be. But you hand him to

605
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 10: the football, he has a feel for how to get forward.

606
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: I believe that kind of to your point.

607
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 8: And this is why I wanted Hunter Lopke to be

608
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 8: more involved in those handoffs because the question last week

609
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 8: was do the Cowboys missu Ezekiel elliet And I said,

610
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 8: only as far as comfort level goals, but physical build

611
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 8: and being able to just hammer a ball in on

612
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 8: short yardage. I think Hunter Lopke has that ability. And

613
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 8: then you see them hand him the ball and what

614
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 8: does he do? He hammers that in. So that gives

615
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 8: opposing defense as something that they have to concern themselves with,

616
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 8: because if Hunter Lipky is on the field and there's

617
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 8: only one or two yards to go, then they're probably

618
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 8: the more you handed off to him reasonably, so you

619
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 8: don't want to, you know, overload it. But the more

620
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 8: you handed off to him, the more they have to

621
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 8: account for him, and by doing so, that puts them

622
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 8: at a slight disadvantage. If you then want to run

623
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 8: the creative play that becomes the passing play out in

624
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 8: the flat or on the you know, in the back

625
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 8: pylon or something like that. So one thing has to

626
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 8: compliment the other. And I am a big believer that

627
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 8: integrating Hunter Lipkey Moore in the short yards game is

628
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 8: going to help free up some of those passing routes.

629
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 8: But again, once it does, the execution has to be there.

630
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 8: I believe that not out of ten times Schoolmaker makes

631
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 8: that catching the end zone. So those types of things

632
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 8: have to come into play as well, because the play

633
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 8: call can be fantastic, but what the player does or

634
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 8: does not do after that is what really matters.

635
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 9: Well, we'll see what happens with Rico Dowll's injury. He

636
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 9: left the game with a hip injury, and I believe today.

637
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 8: Or you're not kind of yeah, yeah it was X

638
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 8: rays were negative last night, which is positive. But the

639
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 8: MRI is scheduled for today if it has not already occurred,

640
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,719
Speaker 8: so we should hopefully get an update on him.

641
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,959
Speaker 9: Then what happened with him? If he does have to

642
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 9: miss some time extended time, I think we would be Oh,

643
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 9: I would imagine the Cowboys utilizing Hunter maybe.

644
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 8: So then you also have to look at Miliite Davis squad.

645
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 8: He'd likely get a lot of that burn as well.

646
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 8: So being that Malik Davis is the insurance on the

647
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 8: practice squad, you know that he's going to come up.

648
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 8: The question still becomes how much of you know those reps?

649
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 8: Or Hunter is Hunter that you be going to see?

650
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 7: All right, we're gonna take our final break, we'll come back.

651
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 7: I want to talk about the passing game, particularly the

652
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 7: deep passing game, Brian, you mentioned it a little bit earlier.

653
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 7: We saw some things that were pretty I don't know.

654
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 7: Pretty uh. That that made me think that maybe they

655
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 7: can get this going and maybe it can be something

656
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 7: that can be a benefit for them even in this offense.

657
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 7: We'll talk about that when we come back. Dallas Cowboys

Speaker 7: We'll break down that forty nine Ers team, really interesting

718
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 7: and very good team. We'll break all that down this

719
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 7: week and get you ready for that game. Let's talk

720
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 7: about the passing game, in particularly the deep passing game.

721
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 7: Yesterday Dak Prescott about well, first of all, about thirty

722
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 7: percent of the throws they threw yesterday worth ten plus

723
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 7: yards in the air, so getting the ball downfield a

724
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 7: little bit more. Now, only one pass was twenty yards

725
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 7: or more. It was the one twenty yard touchdown they

726
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 7: did through the CD LAMB. But they are getting a

727
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 7: ten plus yards down the field a fairly good amount

728
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 7: of time. And he's been pretty good yesterday on that

729
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 7: seventy eight percent completions of those passes that were ten

730
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 7: to nineteen yards, That was seven of nine for one

731
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 7: hundred and eleven yards. That being said, is that enough

732
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 7: for you to feel like this team is getting what

733
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 7: it needs out of a deeper passing game or do

734
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 7: you really think they need to see more of those

735
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 7: twenty plus yard plays to really really be able to

736
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 7: get what you need out of this offense.

737
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: I think you need more.

738
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 8: I think it's positive, it's its progress and kind of

739
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 8: like what I wrote in the Science Lab last week,

740
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 8: I think you need more. And then when you look

741
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 8: at this next gen chart and it breaks down, you

742
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 8: still even in yesterday's game, you didn't see anything past

743
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 8: twenty yards in the middle of the field. So that

744
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 8: middle of the field is still still a glaring opportunity

745
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 8: for the Cowboys to try to attack. And I know

746
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 8: they it seems like their gun shot from it because

747
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 8: of the interceptions that happened in that particular area of

748
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 8: the field. But I feel like that's leaving some meat

749
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 8: on the bone. If you want an opposing defense and

750
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 8: an opposing secondary to cover, you want them to cover

751
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 8: the entire field, not just two thirds of the field,

752
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,720
Speaker 8: not just the boundary. Make them cover that twenty plus

753
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 8: yards and down the middle as well. So yes, there's

754
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 8: some progress being made there. But I think that while

755
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 8: we understand that the West Coast at its basis is

756
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 8: about getting the ball out quickly in the hands of

757
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 8: your playmakers so they can make the plays, I do

758
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 8: think when you have a guy like Ceedee Lamb and

759
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 8: you have a guy like Michael Gallup who's a deep

760
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 8: threat on the goal ball, and you have Brandon Cooks,

761
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 8: who you added via trade. You have guys that can

762
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,439
Speaker 8: go deep. So you need to try to at least

763
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 8: take those shots and stretch that field, which will make

764
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 8: opposing defenses play with more on their heels. And then

765
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 8: guess what you get to do. Then you get to

766
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 8: run the ball more effectively. One thing comes one hand

767
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 8: washes the other in that capacity.

768
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, you mentioned a touchdown to with where Lamb was

769
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 10: able to score, and you know everybody's asking about, well,

770
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 10: did you take advantage of Christian Gonzales being out? That

771
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 10: was the next play. Yeah, he's on the other side

772
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 10: after Miles Bryant in this one. It wasn't the replacement

773
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 10: of Gonzales. It was they went after the starter, is

774
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 10: what they did. And it was a really well designed play.

775
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 10: They went thirteen personnel with it, three tight ends, the

776
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 10: one back, and I mean Lamb gets separation right off

777
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 10: the jump, and I think this is where the cowboy

778
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 10: deep passing game could flourish if in fact, you're winning

779
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 10: off the jump, if you're winning off the line, if

780
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 10: you're able to get separation as you're going up the field.

781
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 10: They did a great job of driving play a lot

782
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 10: of his own coverage. The Patriots, they're do a great

783
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 10: job of driving these defenders back and then coming back

784
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 10: to the ball. But if you could win right off

785
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 10: the jump, like Lamb was able to win off Miles Bryant,

786
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 10: you could throw the ball down the fields. That's the

787
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,959
Speaker 10: possibly the matter of fact. The schoon Maker pass going

788
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 10: back and thinking about that when it went to the

789
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 10: middle of field was a longer play.

790
00:35:58,560 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 3: But man, he could.

791
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 10: Throw a touchdown to Brandon Cooks over in the right

792
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 10: corner of the end zone. Cooks was that down the

793
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 10: field separation, you know. I mean Dak was trying. Okay,

794
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 10: I'm going to fit this thing in between those two safeties,

795
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 10: and this thing's going to be a touchdown.

796
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 3: And it should have been a touchdown. It was.

797
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 10: He should have been a touchdown. But the thing about

798
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 10: it is, though they are doing a better job. If

799
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 10: they can win off the line, they can get vertical

800
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 10: in a lot of these routes, and that that will

801
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 10: help them with their long passing game.

802
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 3: Well, for.

803
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 9: Long passes like that, I would say, yeah, absolutely needed.

804
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 9: When you're trying to put that on film, film and

805
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 9: keep defenses on their toes and all that. But right now,

806
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 9: I personally, I'm okay with what they're doing just because

807
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 9: I mean, they moved the ball so quickly anyways, they've

808
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 9: been so good at it, and that's if there are

809
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 9: no penalties or a flag or anything like that. It

810
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 9: just moves so quick. I'm looking dot on my computer.

811
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 9: They're on the field, start all the way to the right,

812
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 9: and I look up and they're about to get into

813
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 9: the you know, the twenty yard line. And so it's

814
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,720
Speaker 9: been effective what they're doing. But I would say it's definite.

815
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 9: It would definitely be beneficial to start incorporating more of

816
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 9: those taking those chances and hopefully they're positive and it

817
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 9: works because then you're putting that on film for other

818
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 9: teams to be aware of and keep them guessing.

819
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 8: I think this might be setting them up in a

820
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 8: good way to be able to go down the field

821
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 8: in the coming weeks. Because, for example, we talked about,

822
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 8: you know, how does Michael Gallup play into this Texas

823
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 8: Coast offense? Is a square peg round hole? Well, okay,

824
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 8: we've got that question answered. Over the past two weeks,

825
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 8: he've hit he's had two really solid, two really solid

826
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 8: games one in Arizona. Now that sixty yard game he

827
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 8: just put up against the Patriots. But then if you

828
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 8: also look at what he's been doing, it's forty four

829
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 8: yards after the catch against the Patriots. So he's getting

830
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 8: separation and better than I've ever seen him get separation

831
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 8: on his breaks, and then he's getting a ton of

832
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 8: yeck thereafter. So what's going to happen is opposing defense

833
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 8: is they're going to start try to play him up

834
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 8: because they're going to say, oh, well, Michael gallup. He's

835
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 8: not just the goal route guy. He can attack us

836
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 8: at the second level. And then when they do that,

837
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 8: that's when you tell Michael go, and that's when you

838
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 8: can really start to break the game open.

839
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: So I think this might be that long.

840
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 8: Term chess match that McCarthy's playing over the course of

841
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 8: seventeen plus games.

842
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 7: Let's get a question from Dan and Philly. He says,

843
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 7: thoughts on Cooks not really getting involved in the passing game.

844
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 7: It's disappointing to me. I thought they would use his

845
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 7: speed to go deep more. You guys disappointed about what

846
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 7: he's been able to do so far.

847
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 10: Well, I think that there's to Dan's point, there's things

848
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 10: I mentioned the block on that he was able to

849
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 10: get on the touchdown they had down there in the

850
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 10: red zone, that he's doing what he has to do.

851
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 10: They're asking to run crossing routes things like that, they're

852
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 10: asking to drag routes. I mentioned that the pass that

853
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 10: went to Schoonmaker down the middle of the field, he

854
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 10: was opening the end zone. That could have been a

855
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,479
Speaker 10: ball that was throwing his direction off the right side there.

856
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 10: Dak took the shot. He saw cover too. He's trying

857
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 10: to fit Schoonmaker in there, and you know he had it.

858
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 10: And you know, but if if when he watches the

859
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 10: tape today, he's going to see there's a couple of

860
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 10: different times where Cooks was open and you know, the

861
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 10: ball just doesn't go your direction. Sometimes that's a great

862
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 10: thing about sitting down and studying these games that you say, well,

863
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 10: I'm a little disappointed in this guy or that guy.

864
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 10: But then you say, well, man, this guy's doing his job.

865
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 10: He's getting open. You know, the ball is just not

866
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 10: going his way. And I think that I think there's

867
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 10: going to be some opportunities where they do figure out

868
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 10: how to get him the ball down the field. He

869
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 10: is a weapon in every sense of the word.

870
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 14: Uh.

871
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 10: But again there's there's you know, the balls that Dak's throwing.

872
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 10: He's throwing to the right guys, they're they're getting finishes.

873
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 10: But I think Cooks is finding ways to get open.

874
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 10: I don't think Cooks was.

875
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 3: Open as much last game against Arizona.

876
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: Uh.

877
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 10: That was a little bit of struggle for all the receivers.

878
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 10: But in this game, these guys did a nice job

879
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,919
Speaker 10: of finding separation in this own defense and making some good,

880
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 10: good plays.

881
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 8: And they're sending him at least often enough to keep

882
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 8: the safeties kind of playing honest. Because if you go

883
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 8: back and you look at his route chart against the

884
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 8: Patriots up the middle where they haven't been throwing deep

885
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 8: middle thirty plus yards, he had a route go that way.

886
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 1: He had a twenty four.

887
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 8: Ish route deep middle, and then on the right side

888
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 8: he had an eighteen nineteen yards. So I mean they're

889
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 8: sending him. It's just a matter of those were non

890
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 8: targeted though. So those are those types of plays that

891
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 8: maybe he was the decoy and they wanted to see

892
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 8: if he get open. But you know, I think those

893
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 8: who start to kind of play themselves into the Cowboys

894
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 8: offense as the season rolls along. So I mean, ultimately

895
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 8: he did finish with four targets, four catches. On those

896
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 8: four targets, he had the effective block, so you know,

897
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 8: keeping in mind that he also missed week two, right,

898
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 8: he didn't play in the preseason, nor did Dak Prescott,

899
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 8: so give him a moment. I think he's getting his

900
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 8: wheels in this Cowboys system, and I think it'll start

901
00:40:59,400 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 8: to show here soon.

902
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 9: Well, we're heading into week five and at least.

903
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 8: That huh No, I was gonna say week five is

904
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 8: when we really start to find out what it looks like.

905
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 9: Yes, but he's another weapon that you're just excited to

906
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 9: keep like that you have but haven't seen all of

907
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 9: it yet, So that's exciting. I would say it's definitely

908
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 9: disappointing that he hasn't been super involved right now, and

909
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 9: in week four, there's only a couple of plays that

910
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 9: I can vividly remember that he's done in the games

911
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 9: that he has played so far, and that's disappointing because

912
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 9: all through training camp, I mean, he was my favorite

913
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 9: player to watch. One guy that we kept talking about

914
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 9: on the show, the type of weapon or a deep

915
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 9: threat speed that he showed and how the chemistry between

916
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 9: him and Dak it was just so automatic right away,

917
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 9: right off the bat, they were connecting so well, and

918
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 9: all of a sudden we haven't had a chance to

919
00:41:54,440 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 9: see really see that to fruition during games, but hopefully

920
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 9: hopefully happens soon.

921
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 7: All right, real quick, before we end the show, I

922
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 7: did want to talk a little bit about the tight ends.

923
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 7: As you mentioned earlier, Ferguson had a nice day. He

924
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 7: is becoming a real weapon, I think for Dak Prescott.

925
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 7: But Brian, I think you were one mentioning last week

926
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 7: as you look at the tight ends, doesn't seem to

927
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 7: quite have the same I don't know, it just doesn't

928
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 7: seem to be the same as what it was with

929
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 7: Dalton Schultz last year. What we did see yesterday was

930
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 7: Schoolmaker had three different opportunities. He didn't get a single catch.

931
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 7: I don't think Peyton Hendershott had a single target yesterday.

932
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 3: Do you think the counboy hit right?

933
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: Yeah?

934
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 3: Right, right? Yeah?

935
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: Show me someone was up for him.

936
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 7: So you're looking at a situation where you're really do

937
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 7: you think you're not getting enough out of the tight

938
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 7: end position, even though Ferguson is actually providing something really

939
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 7: nice for you. Do you really need more from those

940
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 7: other tight ends, especially considering as much as Dallas likes

941
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 7: Froun twelve and thirteen personnel.

942
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's it's funny that you say that, But to me,

943
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 10: I think Schoonmaker had the drop was bad. Yeah, that

944
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 10: was a bad play. He's got to make that play,

945
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 10: and he knows he has to make that play. The

946
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 10: other one he had an opportunity on. The ball is

947
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 10: tipped at the line of scrimmage, if you remember, they're

948
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 10: down there in the red zone, and like he's got

949
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 10: the defender on his back and Dak is gonna throw

950
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,879
Speaker 10: the ball to the outside there and there's probably gonna

951
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 10: be a catch, and then it's gonna be a die

952
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 10: for the goal line. Bentley the linebacker is gonna rush,

953
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 10: and Zach Martin just stones him and it stops Bentley.

954
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 10: So he doesn't so what does he do? He backs

955
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 10: up and he just jumps and so instead of the

956
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 10: ball going to scoon Maker, it's tipped and knocked away.

957
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 10: There you go, there's another one of your red zone

958
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 10: You know, what the hell, what the hell just happened?

959
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 3: Plays?

960
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 10: You know, it probably would have resulted in either a

961
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 10: catch at the one or a catch and a touchdown.

962
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 10: But yeah, I think, you know, I look at also

963
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 10: the way that these guys blocked in some of the

964
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 10: running opportunities. Hell, McEwan made a hell of a play

965
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 10: getting down the field and recovering Turpin's fumble. You know,

966
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,240
Speaker 10: I mean he gets the key block to get Turpin

967
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 10: around the corner and now he's chasing the play much

968
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 10: like what we have with Tyler Biattish and you know,

969
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 10: falls on the ball right there.

970
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 3: You know, could have been a bad situation.

971
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 9: When that happened, I was like, thank God a guy

972
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 9: is running along with the person who has the ball.

973
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 3: There are some moments where these guys should they've done more. Absolutely.

974
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:20,919
Speaker 3: Is there some bad luck along the way?

975
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 10: Absolutely, you know there's some There's some unfortunate things that.

976
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:26,720
Speaker 3: Happened, uh with these guys.

977
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 10: I think the thing with Ferguson that I've learned is

978
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 10: every time you throw him the ball, he's gonna make

979
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 10: one or two guys miss.

980
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 3: He is this run after catch guy.

981
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 10: It's that the slant he caught him third down and

982
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 10: got it was like a third and five.

983
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 3: He gets nine yards.

984
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 10: I mean just carrying guys with him, uh, you know

985
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 10: for the first down, so getting more from him.

986
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Sure. But are you just totally like, oh, it's

987
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 3: just a bad group. I don't. I don't think so.

988
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

989
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,439
Speaker 10: I think we're starting to see some things with them

990
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 10: and how they're using these guys a little bit more,

991
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 10: and I think it's going to benefit, you know, in

992
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 10: the in the coming weeks.

993
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, and when it comes to Jake Ferguson, and we've

994
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 8: talked about it, and I said, until further notice, he's

995
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 8: the tight end one, and as Schoonmaker starts to kind

996
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 8: of come along, maybe we'll revisit and have this conversation

997
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 8: later in the year. But Jake Ferguson, you know, he

998
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 8: overcame the drop in the rain against the Giants, but

999
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 8: even that, that was a fantastic blocking game for him.

1000
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 8: You can see he's put on some mass, he's getting

1001
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:27,720
Speaker 8: in there, he's getting dirty with the blocking.

1002
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: You absolutely love it.

1003
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,280
Speaker 8: And then now he's starting to come on as Deck's

1004
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 8: security blanket. Seven targets, seven catches, seventy seven yards in

1005
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 8: that obliteration of the Patriots. So I love what I'm

1006
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 8: seeing from Jake Ferguson and at the moment, after seeing

1007
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 8: what he is doing as both a blocker and as

1008
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 8: a receiver, and you know, in being a receiver the

1009
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 8: yak and also the dirty yards because he's making guys miss,

1010
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 8: but he's also running through guys and running over guys.

1011
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 8: I don't know that I would say I need to

1012
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 8: see more from Jake because I feel like more is

1013
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 8: coming anyway. What you want to see is while Sean

1014
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 8: McEwan being Johnny on the spot, great job with that.

1015
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 8: You want to see more production from a receiving standpoint

1016
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 8: for those Titans not named Jake Ferguson Schoonmaker. I believe

1017
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 8: he'll come in eventually, that'll come on for him. I

1018
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 8: don't think you're going to see him target it three

1019
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 8: times and not catch any of those going forward. We

1020
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 8: talked about it Brian at Michigan. I don't think Michigan

1021
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 8: really used his hands.

1022
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 3: I think he has he's got to make plays. Yeah,

1023
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 3: that's the bottom line.

1024
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 10: I mean, yeah, and he's going to get criticized because

1025
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 10: he was the second round pick.

1026
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's my point.

1027
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 8: You want to see more production from Loop Schoolmaker as

1028
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 8: a receiver. You need to see more of that. You

1029
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 8: want to see more when Peyt Hendershot gets back on

1030
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 8: the field. He missed this pass Onday because of the

1031
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 8: ankle injury, but prior to that, yes, he's upgraded as

1032
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 8: a blocer. Not as good as Jake just yet. But

1033
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,879
Speaker 8: where's Peyton Hendershot in the receiving course? So to answer

1034
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,399
Speaker 8: your question, Derek, when it comes to Jake Ferguson, love

1035
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 8: what he's got going on. And thankfully for the Cowboys

1036
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,439
Speaker 8: they have at least that guy. They have a him

1037
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 8: that's definitive in that room and right now with Jake Ferguson,

1038
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 8: But for the other guys from the receiving component, you

1039
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 8: gotta get more. Schoolmaker's got to make those plays and

1040
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 8: he'll be the first one to say he has to.

1041
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,240
Speaker 8: Sean McEwan. You know what you have with Sean McKowen.

1042
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 8: He's never going to really be that guy. But when

1043
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 8: Peyton Hendershott gets back, what do you got there? Especially

1044
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 8: in the season where you were hoping that you'd have

1045
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,919
Speaker 8: John Stevens, but you lost him before you could really

1046
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 8: do much with him.

1047
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 7: All right, appreciate you guys, Johnes, We'll be back tomorrow

1048
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 7: we'll start taking a little bit of a bigger picture

1049
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 7: look at the NFL and the NFC East Giants played

1050
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 7: tonight on Monday Night Football. Will see how they end up.

1051
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 1: Till then.

1052
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,760
Speaker 7: For Patrick Walker, Brian brought us Ambergarci. I'm Derek Eagleton.
