<v Speaker 1>The following.

0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:05.640
<v Speaker 2>He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and

0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:07.200
<v Speaker 2>the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys Let's go.

0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:16.920
<v Speaker 3>Are you ready for a break?

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Are you ready for a break?

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely?

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 3>Ready for a break?

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:22.759
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:24.479
<v Speaker 1>And so much for that.

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 2>It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:34.919
<v Speaker 2>We were right with mbar Garcia, Brian brought us, Patrick Wolker,

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:36.840
<v Speaker 2>and Derek Eagleton.

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 7>It is Monday, October second, twenty twenty three, Season nineteen,

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:46.239
<v Speaker 7>episode number forty three. Welcome to the latest edition of

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.879
<v Speaker 7>The Break. We are live from the SWBC boy studios

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:51.279
<v Speaker 7>at the Star and today we're talking about the Cowboys win.

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 7>They get back on the win to their winning ways.

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 7>They beat New England thirty eight to three at home,

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.279
<v Speaker 7>and now it all sets up for the game we've

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 7>been waiting for Cowboys versus forty nine Ers. But before

0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 7>we get to that, today we will recap the game,

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 7>tell you what went right and wrong for the Cowboys.

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 7>We'll talk about this defense that did a little more

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 7>of what it's been doing in the first two weeks

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 7>of the season, and also talk about a bit about

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.319
<v Speaker 7>the offense and what Dak Prescott was able to do yesterday.

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 7>Let's get it going. Let's start first on the defensive

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 7>side of the ball. Yesterday they allowed two hundred and

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 7>fifty three yards as two hundred passing fifty three rushing.

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.320
<v Speaker 7>And actually, before I get to that real quick, let's

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 7>go around and see what everybody's storyline of the game

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:35.759
<v Speaker 7>was coming out of that game. What do you think

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 7>is the big picture storyline you'll remember from Week four

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 7>of the twenty twenty three NFL season, sybody Patrick.

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 8>Other than the Cowboys handing Bill Belichick his worst loss

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 8>at South Carline.

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 1>That's a massive storyline.

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 8>I mean, obviously, when you're going against someone that cerebral

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 8>as Bill Belichick, you always have concerns, and then you

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 8>know you have the subplots of Ezekiel Elliott and Will

0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 8>Greer being quote unquote interrogated and hand signals and all

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 8>of that. But the Cowboys again showed resiliency. I mean,

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 8>they hadn't lost two consecutive games since November of twenty

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 8>twenty one. Question was could they protect home field? And

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 8>they not only go in and do that yesterday, but

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 8>the fashion in which they did it was just flat

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 8>out impressive. They executed and I've said it and I'm

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 8>going to continue to say this Cowboys team is going

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.359
<v Speaker 8>to go as their run defense goes. One week after letting,

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 8>you know, allow two hundred and twenty two yards on

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 8>the ground in Arizona, you hold Remandre Stevenson the thirty

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 8>yards and Ezekiel Elliott and emotionally charged to Ezekiel Elliott

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.359
<v Speaker 8>to only sixteen yards on the ground. That allowed the

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.360
<v Speaker 8>Cowboys to earn their pass rush and from there they

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 8>teed off and you gotta love it.

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>So the win is huge.

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.520
<v Speaker 8>The fashion in which they did it makes it that

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.639
<v Speaker 8>much more meaningful and puts them back on solid ground

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 8>for what we know is an all important game in

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 8>Santa Clara.

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 9>Coming up a lot of good things to talk about

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:59.639
<v Speaker 9>on defense, special teams, but also offense. Everything we saw

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 9>from them, I know there's still work to be done

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 9>around the red zone, but you saw improvement. Was a

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 9>red zone? Was a twenty yard line? That was confusing?

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:15.239
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, but he did saything idea. You were like, yeah,

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 7>I learned something new today.

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, Yeah, I asked pr. I'm like, so, wouldn't like

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 9>if you're on the freaking twenty yard line, doesn't that

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 9>count as red zone?

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:26.679
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 3>It does not.

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 9>Your tone needs to be passing the line, you need

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 9>to be inside anyways, just it is promising and it

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 9>gives you something that Okay, now we got something. You

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 9>feel like they're working with something you see and you

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 9>weren't expected at least. I wasn't expecting a night and

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 9>day difference as far as improvement in just one week.

0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 9>But they were able to show different things offensively where

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 9>it gives you promise to like, okay, they're trending upwards.

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 9>Now they're changing some things around any it shows to

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 9>be working.

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 10>I was surprised how easily they were blocking the Patriots front,

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 10>especially when it came to throwing the football. I felt

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 10>like that maybe the Patriots were going to try some things.

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 10>I was worried a little bit about Patriots coverage. I

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 10>think when Gonzales got hurt that kind of took them

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.480
<v Speaker 10>out of some things they might wanted to do coverage wise,

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 10>traveling wise. Initially in the game, they didn't start off

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 10>traveling Gonzalez with say Lamb. I thought that maybe that

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 10>was something that they would try initially. They didn't never

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 10>got to that because Gonzales got hurt. But it was

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 10>really a nice effort up front for the Cowboys. The

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 10>one sack that they had was a little disturbing was

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 10>the one that Dietrich Wise had where really four guys

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 10>missed on the play. You know, it's like they run

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.359
<v Speaker 10>a two man game and then all of a sudden,

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.799
<v Speaker 10>it's like three guys are kind of looking and another

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 10>one's trying to look, and say, you have two guys reacting,

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.919
<v Speaker 10>one guy not reacting. It was a little bit of

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 10>a mess that way, but overall, the way that they

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.479
<v Speaker 10>were able to have time throwing the football and even

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 10>when there was a little bit of pressure, receivers did

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 10>a great job at driving routes coming back to the ball.

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 10>Dak put it where it needed to be, So a

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 10>lot of positive on that side of it.

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.400
<v Speaker 7>Let's talk about the defense specifically. As I mentioned a

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.559
<v Speaker 7>little earlier, they allowed two hundred and fifty three yards

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 7>two hundred passing fifty three on the ground. Going to

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.039
<v Speaker 7>Patrick's first point about the fact that they stopped the

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.280
<v Speaker 7>run this week and how effective they are when they

0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 7>can do that. The other thing note there was they

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:37.040
<v Speaker 7>had seven quarterback hits and two sacks eighteen quarterback pressures.

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:38.720
<v Speaker 7>They didn't get the number of sacks that they've been

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 7>getting when they've been successful. But the pressures were definitely there,

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 7>and you could certainly feel that in the eighteen times

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 7>that they pressured mac Jones. Would you guys assess that

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 7>defense overall yesterday?

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 8>I thought it looked fantastic. And it's a perfect example

0:05:54.120 --> 0:06:00.480
<v Speaker 8>of why although sacks matter, why it's mind boggling people

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 8>kind of disregard disruptions and QB pressures and QB hits

0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.840
<v Speaker 8>because all of those things go to the overall category

0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 8>of disruptions, and the Cowboys were insanely disruptive on yesterday. No,

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 8>they didn't walk away with five, six or seven sacks,

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 8>but they did force mac Jones into a passer rating

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 8>and thirty nine point nine ultimately got him pulled from

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.840
<v Speaker 8>the game. For Bailly Zappi, they forced him into two interceptions,

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 8>which also goes to dron Bland quickly coming into his

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.560
<v Speaker 8>own as boundary corner. And now I think that's also

0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 8>helping the Cowboys as a defensive unit try to find

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 8>their identity in the post Digs era for this season

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 8>until Digg's come back in twenty four. So when you,

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 8>like we talked about when you earned that pass rush

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:44.080
<v Speaker 8>by stopping the run, and that stopping the run was

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:49.160
<v Speaker 8>made effective because the front four was winning their matchups

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:52.159
<v Speaker 8>and that allowed guys like Leyton Vandersh who was reading,

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.920
<v Speaker 8>reacting and executing filling gaps. He was magnificent. Damon Clark

0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.279
<v Speaker 8>helped in that capacity as well. Now you're forcing the

0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 8>guy to throw. And when you forced the guy throw

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 8>against the Cowboys defense that loves to take the ball

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 8>away in the air as much as they love to

0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 8>take it away on the ground, it's a recipe for

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:08.480
<v Speaker 8>disaster for you. And that's what happened with the Patriots yesterday.

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 8>So I think it was masterclass by the Cowboys. Dan

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 8>Quinn had those boys ready to play some football.

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 9>I can care less about sacks and stats and any

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 9>of that whatsoever when your defense is playing the way

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 9>that they did they did when you got guys they're

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.840
<v Speaker 9>on blind Leyton vandor Esh getting in the end zone

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 9>and scoring points for you. And going back to stopping

0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 9>the run that has been the main problem for the defense.

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:37.560
<v Speaker 9>We saw it last weekend, and then just seeing them adapt,

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 9>adjust and make those changes and improving an area that

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 9>has been their weakest point. I'm just I was super

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 9>excited by everything. So I'm sure Micah left that game

0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.760
<v Speaker 9>a little bit upset about himself, you know, not being

0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 9>able to shoot.

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 7>I'll talk about that a little bit.

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 9>No, and he should not because what he's doing, his

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 9>presence and everything that he's doing creating opportunities for everybody

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 9>else to play the way that they did. So even

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 9>guys like Golston when he's doing those plays, I mean,

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.120
<v Speaker 9>you got to credit mic along with that, but I'm

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 9>going back to him as a player. We know Mike

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 9>how competitive his But either way, credit to everyone on

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 9>defense and the great job that they were able to.

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, his pressure. I don't know why the on that

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 10>first drive, the Patriots through the football on third.

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 3>And one down there on the goal line. I you know,

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 3>I felt like they were going to.

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 10>Try and run it down there and see if they

0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.319
<v Speaker 10>could make some hay out of that. It might have

0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 10>been a you know, it might have been something they

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 10>thought about, but they didn't. They tried to throw the

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:39.679
<v Speaker 10>ball at the back of the end zone and might

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 10>Gasicki and Parsons pressure forced mac Jones to throw the

0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 10>ball too far. You know, you know, it's a decent

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 10>play call, but that pressure from Parsons, you know, it

0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.640
<v Speaker 10>really forced mac Jones to have to make a quick decision.

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 3>And you know, Kasiki was a clear of Hooker.

0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:00.640
<v Speaker 10>In the end zone and so you know, if he

0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.120
<v Speaker 10>has time to throw that ball, then maybe it's a

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.840
<v Speaker 10>touchdown there. But you know that pressure is what adds

0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.920
<v Speaker 10>up there. The scoop and score was really a great

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.560
<v Speaker 10>backside pressure as well when they you know, when Fowler

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.280
<v Speaker 10>beats his guy in the way he was able to

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.680
<v Speaker 10>track mac Jones, Mack never felt him there and so

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 10>to hammer the ball.

0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 3>The thing that concerned me about.

0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.280
<v Speaker 10>The defense was the forty two yard pass play that

0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.200
<v Speaker 10>they gave up in this game. And it's We've seen

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.920
<v Speaker 10>this a couple of times when Dallas is bad on defense,

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.000
<v Speaker 10>they lose coverage, they lose and I was trying to

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 10>figure out by watching the tape. They're playing man on

0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.760
<v Speaker 10>the outside, they're playing zone on the inside, and you

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.560
<v Speaker 10>get a route that comes across and you don't know

0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 10>if they're supposed to pass it, and again this is

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:45.080
<v Speaker 10>curse and Hooker playing inside. Everybody else has got manned.

0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.359
<v Speaker 10>They've got everybody locked up. But then the route materializes

0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 10>where it turns across and now it goes into into

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 10>a Curse's zone and they just lose. And then Curse

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 10>gets kind of caught in no man's land. Here's the

0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 10>quarterback moving and just throws the ball over the top,

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:01.680
<v Speaker 10>and and you know, they give up a big play.

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.679
<v Speaker 10>But you know, you got to wonder about that sometimes

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.200
<v Speaker 10>when they give up these chunk plays. We saw it

0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 10>happen in the Arizona game. They lose track of a

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 10>guy in route, big play sixty nine yards. Again this week,

0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 10>lose track of a guy inside running the route, big play.

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 10>You know, you can't have that happen in the game.

0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:24.960
<v Speaker 10>It didn't kill him in this situation, but we've seen

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.640
<v Speaker 10>it two weeks in a row. Now, good defense for

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:29.400
<v Speaker 10>the majority of the game, and then all of a sudden,

0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 10>you give up two big chunk plays like that back

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 10>to back.

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.840
<v Speaker 8>You know, what I definitely did love about the defensive

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.720
<v Speaker 8>line is that you had you have guys that are

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.559
<v Speaker 8>getting their legs back, like Donovan Wilson. He had a

0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.720
<v Speaker 8>much better day than he had in Arizona, which was

0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.680
<v Speaker 8>his first game back. But when you see the interior

0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 8>of the Cowboys defensive line in names like Neville Gallimore

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 8>start to flash, and then you see Mizzie Smith, although

0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 8>you won't see him on the stat line, but he

0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 8>was able to push the pocket a few times and

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 8>arguably he had the best showing so far in his

0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.080
<v Speaker 8>young career. When those guys start to step up, in

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.080
<v Speaker 8>addition to some of the bigger name guys that you

0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 8>expect to step up, Jonathan Hankins and Chauncey Ghosten and

0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:06.959
<v Speaker 8>of course Osa Diggie Zoo on that interior, and then

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.720
<v Speaker 8>you have Michael Parsons and his presence and you know,

0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:13.560
<v Speaker 8>disruptions and being able to take away you know, the

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.480
<v Speaker 8>ability for other teams to try to shade one way

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.199
<v Speaker 8>or the other. I mean, this Cowboys defense as long

0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 8>as they continue to execute, and I keep harping on

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:25.040
<v Speaker 8>that word execution, execution, execution. If they continue to execute,

0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.680
<v Speaker 8>the only team that can beat them is themselves.

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.000
<v Speaker 7>When you talk about the run defense, was there something

0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 7>that you guys saw that was different in what they

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.120
<v Speaker 7>did this week versus Arizona or do you think it

0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 7>was just better execution of what their roles were.

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:39.840
<v Speaker 10>I don't know why more teams don't try and do

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.240
<v Speaker 10>what Arizona did when it comes to running the football

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.959
<v Speaker 10>with not I think that with New England and give

0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 10>Dallas credit for this. They did a nice job along

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.320
<v Speaker 10>the defensive line. When you start to talk about the

0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:53.280
<v Speaker 10>physicality which they played with, the ability to state square

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.959
<v Speaker 10>not get hooked, you know, the linebackers were much better

0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 10>shape when this team's had trouble. I think now in

0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:02.240
<v Speaker 10>this this is something that maybe somebody will take advantage of.

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 3>We'll see.

0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.200
<v Speaker 10>But when they play their diying package, they're running the

0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.760
<v Speaker 10>ball at these linebackers that are defensive backs, they're kind

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 10>of figuring out, Okay, is Kurse going to be able

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:13.960
<v Speaker 10>to hang in there? Is Bell going to be able

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 10>to hang in there? Is Wilson going to be able

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:17.640
<v Speaker 10>to hang in there? When they're having to deal with

0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 10>blockers that get up on them. You know that's going

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.640
<v Speaker 10>to be the key going for the Cowboys. You know,

0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 10>how you play your run defense against how the offenses

0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 10>attack this Dallas defense will be Now, can these linebackers

0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.560
<v Speaker 10>or these safeties who are playing down in the box,

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.400
<v Speaker 10>if linemen are getting free runs at them, that's a

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:39.679
<v Speaker 10>problem for the Cowboys.

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 3>It didn't.

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.800
<v Speaker 10>It showed up a couple of times yesterday in a

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 10>couple of the runs they had. But I would worry

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.320
<v Speaker 10>about a team that really really runs the ball well

0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:50.640
<v Speaker 10>and then all of a sudden they're like, Okay, we're

0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:53.760
<v Speaker 10>going to make you with that bubble. That linebacker who

0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 10>is a safety, who's not a big guy, We're going

0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 10>to make you defend the run with him. And I

0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.840
<v Speaker 10>think that's what Arizona did. The Pinn and poll stuff

0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 10>was really effective. Didn't see any of that really from

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.360
<v Speaker 10>from New England. Just a couple of times they ran

0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.040
<v Speaker 10>guys that pulled. But the Cowboys did a great job

0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.560
<v Speaker 10>of hanging in there when they had to, you know,

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.640
<v Speaker 10>dealing with the run, staying square, playing downhill, and then

0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:17.839
<v Speaker 10>finishing the play the moon. Clark played the best game

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.080
<v Speaker 10>he's played in four for the Cowboys this year.

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:25.560
<v Speaker 8>Shades are big, Yes, I like it, big win, shades

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.640
<v Speaker 8>come back, Yes, that's how we roll up.

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 7>Oh, you know it was interesting to me, Brian on

0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.600
<v Speaker 7>that point though, I actually saw that that demon Clark

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.640
<v Speaker 7>actually played only forty five percent of the snap. Yeah,

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.120
<v Speaker 7>and Bell actually played forty percent of the snap, which

0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.400
<v Speaker 7>made me think the Cowboys maybe were doing a little

0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.640
<v Speaker 7>bit more of having those safeties in there. Yeah, at

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 7>that linebacker.

0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.360
<v Speaker 10>Well, it turned into a game where they knew New

0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:48.240
<v Speaker 10>England was going to have to throw the football, so the.

0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.320
<v Speaker 3>Run game was just completely out the window. I think

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:52.120
<v Speaker 3>that the Moone.

0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 10>Clark, I wanted to believe that the Moon Clark was

0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:57.040
<v Speaker 10>a guy that could play all downs and never come

0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:57.720
<v Speaker 10>off the field.

0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if they completely trust him again.

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 10>And that's just a thought by me, not anything to

0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.320
<v Speaker 10>anybody said to me or anything like that. But I

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 10>just wonder when it turns into a passing game, having

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 10>Bell on the field is at a little bit of

0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.160
<v Speaker 10>a difference with the way they play their coverage.

0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.719
<v Speaker 7>Yep, all right, we're gonna take our first break. When

0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:17.560
<v Speaker 7>we come back, we're going to jump into the offense.

0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.080

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 7>some of the skill players and how they play. We'll

0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.120

<v Speaker 7>nine zero three two nine eight. Let's talk about Dak

0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.520
<v Speaker 7>Prescott yesterday. It's twenty eight to thirty four, eighty two

0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:26.240
<v Speaker 7>percent completion rate, two hundred and sixty one yards through

0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:29.240
<v Speaker 7>the air, one touchdown, no interceptions, A one hundred and

0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:32.920
<v Speaker 7>eight point five quarterback rate neat rating. He also threw

0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:37.399
<v Speaker 7>uh to. He completed passes to nine different receivers. Uh

0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:39.920
<v Speaker 7>did have Schoonmaker who he targeted three times, who didn't

0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.320
<v Speaker 7>get a catch that would have been ten. But all

0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:44.439
<v Speaker 7>in all, good day for Dak Prescott. How did you

0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:45.320
<v Speaker 7>guys assess his play?

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.720
<v Speaker 8>I think he was surgical again and like you mentioned,

0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.399
<v Speaker 8>with no interceptions. It's his third out of three out

0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:54.080
<v Speaker 8>of four games he's not turned the ball over, so

0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.800
<v Speaker 8>he's playing you know, clean football and not putting his

0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.000
<v Speaker 8>defense in bad positions where they have to come back

0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.440
<v Speaker 8>out and fight against the time of possession battle and

0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:03.800
<v Speaker 8>then that you're fighting against your own fatigue and then

0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:06.480
<v Speaker 8>sloppiness and like of execution comes from that. But I

0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:09.159
<v Speaker 8>mean Dak Prescott. You look at the first offensive driving.

0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:12.520
<v Speaker 8>There's a reason the Cowboys lead the league and offensive

0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.640
<v Speaker 8>drives that have ten plus plays or more, and that's

0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:19.040
<v Speaker 8>because of Dak Prescott in a large part. And the

0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.320
<v Speaker 8>red zone issues come from again. And you're gonna get

0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:24.240
<v Speaker 8>tired of me saying it. I'm tired of hearing me

0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.320
<v Speaker 8>say it's execution. The drop by Schoolmaker that should have

0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:31.200
<v Speaker 8>been Dak Prescott's first touchdown the handoff to Tony Pollard

0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:34.639
<v Speaker 8>on third and one where they collided. Execution right, little

0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:36.280
<v Speaker 8>things that can be cleaned up, but need to be

0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:39.320
<v Speaker 8>cleaned up. But from an aspect of what Dak Prescott,

0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.040
<v Speaker 8>Dak Prescott did in the air, I mean, he was

0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:44.399
<v Speaker 8>in complete command for the most part. He spread the

0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:48.560
<v Speaker 8>ball around very well, and he's really finding that security

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.560
<v Speaker 8>blanket in Jake Ferguson that he once had with Dalton Schultz.

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:55.520
<v Speaker 8>Ferguson seven targets, seven catches, seventy seven yards magic number seven.

0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:56.760
<v Speaker 1>What is that?

0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.040
<v Speaker 8>Twelve catches one hundred and twenty five yards over the

0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:02.080
<v Speaker 8>last two games from Dak to Jake. So that connection

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.879
<v Speaker 8>I think has become kind of the stabilizing force while

0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:08.399
<v Speaker 8>the Texas Coast offense tries to figure out things outside

0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:08.719
<v Speaker 8>of that.

0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:10.480
<v Speaker 1>So that'll be promising going forward.

0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:18.040
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I feel like Dak has become more mature this year,

0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:23.000
<v Speaker 9>Like there's something about his game, probably that he's just

0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:26.719
<v Speaker 9>freaking tired of hearing. Yeah, we got a little bit

0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:30.720
<v Speaker 9>of that yesterday at the press conference. Good stuff, but

0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:35.119
<v Speaker 9>it's wonderful. But I just think he's still lacking that

0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:38.480
<v Speaker 9>like and I really thought and that's why I chose

0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:41.720
<v Speaker 9>Dak to get the first rushing touchdown. I really thought

0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:44.480
<v Speaker 9>that part of the red zone work that they were

0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:48.040
<v Speaker 9>doing this week was going to involve at Dak Prescott

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:50.560
<v Speaker 9>that gets out of the pocket and runs and gets

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:52.760
<v Speaker 9>in the end zone, and we didn't really get to

0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.960
<v Speaker 9>see that, and I was disappointed about that. But I

0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:57.960
<v Speaker 9>think that's part of the game that's kind of missing

0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:02.720
<v Speaker 9>from him right now. It's just kind of letting it

0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:05.400
<v Speaker 9>lose a little bit. At the same time, I don't

0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:09.120
<v Speaker 9>think they're playing super super conservative. I think that he

0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.320
<v Speaker 9>some of those throws that he's thrown down down the

0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:16.639
<v Speaker 9>field has been really really good. But that's the missing

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:20.359
<v Speaker 9>part that I think for me is where where the

0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:24.760
<v Speaker 9>game is lacking. It's just letting him be free a

0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:30.080
<v Speaker 9>little bit, use his legs, use his body. But all

0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:32.280
<v Speaker 9>in all, I think he's he's done a great job.

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.879
<v Speaker 9>I think the fact that you saw him connect with

0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:38.879
<v Speaker 9>so many different receivers that's exciting because now you see

0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:44.440
<v Speaker 9>McCarthy allowing all the different weapons to be utilized. And

0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:49.280
<v Speaker 9>Patrick just mentioned those little errors that did occur. But

0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:52.399
<v Speaker 9>all in all, I think he did a really good job.

0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:56.160
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I think that to me that the routes were deeper,

0:20:56.520 --> 0:21:00.359
<v Speaker 10>the opportunities were deeper. Receivers did a better job of

0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.439
<v Speaker 10>getting open for him. They did a better job of

0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:05.880
<v Speaker 10>finishing for him when he put the ball on target.

0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:10.000
<v Speaker 10>The decision making I thought was good.

0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:11.560
<v Speaker 3>To a point.

0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:15.000
<v Speaker 10>The pass that he threw to Gallop in the early

0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:17.600
<v Speaker 10>on the first drive was a really nice read by him.

0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:21.119
<v Speaker 10>A corner falling off and then you know Gallup still

0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:25.480
<v Speaker 10>maintaining leverage going up the field. Dak saw that when

0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:28.000
<v Speaker 10>when the corner dropped, he knew, Okay, that's where I'm

0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:29.760
<v Speaker 10>going to go with the ball. They were trying to

0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:31.560
<v Speaker 10>kind of maybe think about the ball was going to

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:33.359
<v Speaker 10>go to Lamb, but that when the case, Dak did

0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:34.520
<v Speaker 10>a good job of getting.

0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:35.840
<v Speaker 3>The ball to the outside.

0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:38.080
<v Speaker 10>He's going to look at the tape today and he's

0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:39.680
<v Speaker 10>going to see that he should have pulled the ball

0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:41.960
<v Speaker 10>twice on a Reid option. He's going to see he

0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:45.320
<v Speaker 10>had a walk in touchdown with Ferguson. It's a play

0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:48.199
<v Speaker 10>we've seen with the Kellen Moore regime before where they

0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:50.440
<v Speaker 10>bring the tight end across.

0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:51.359
<v Speaker 3>And he's going to lead Dak.

0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 10>He hands the ball inside the Pollard it's a three

0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:57.720
<v Speaker 10>yard gain, but we've seen it before where he's where

0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:00.520
<v Speaker 10>the tight end has led him in. We see Schultz

0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:03.359
<v Speaker 10>lead him in before. There was two times where I

0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:05.280
<v Speaker 10>felt like that he could have walked this thing in

0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:07.359
<v Speaker 10>if he wanted to, but he chose to give the

0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:08.080
<v Speaker 10>ball inside.

0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:10.200
<v Speaker 3>That's the read that he made. And I think when

0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:10.800
<v Speaker 3>he watches the.

0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:13.600
<v Speaker 10>Tape, he's gonna say next time, I'm gonna pull that.

0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:18.760
<v Speaker 10>Because after the play, you see you see Ferguson like

0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:20.560
<v Speaker 10>turn around to him and like slap him on the

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:22.840
<v Speaker 10>chest like what are you doing kind of a thing,

0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:24.639
<v Speaker 10>and you see Dak kind of like I know, I

0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:27.639
<v Speaker 10>get it, you know that kind of thing. So but overall,

0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:30.160
<v Speaker 10>the way through the football was well. He move around

0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:32.720
<v Speaker 10>in the pocket, the way he delivered the ball, decision

0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:35.520
<v Speaker 10>making and finding the open guys on the routes. But

0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:37.000
<v Speaker 10>like I said, I think he's gonna look at the

0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:40.520
<v Speaker 10>run option stuff and say, man, I got to pull

0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:42.600
<v Speaker 10>that next time. I think I could walk this thing.

0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:46.480
<v Speaker 9>I think that's the most frustrating part when watching yesterday's

0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:51.479
<v Speaker 9>game in the red zone area, you see them playing

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:54.040
<v Speaker 9>so well, moving the ball so well prior to getting there.

0:22:54.160 --> 0:22:56.560
<v Speaker 9>Then they get there and every play that they make

0:22:56.960 --> 0:23:00.280
<v Speaker 9>it is so close, like they're just right there and

0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:04.000
<v Speaker 9>something happens. It doesn't work out him running into Pollard,

0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:04.439
<v Speaker 9>I mean.

0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:05.200
<v Speaker 3>Get out of the way.

0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:08.240
<v Speaker 10>But see, I think that was really on Pollard because

0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:10.960
<v Speaker 10>what happens the hole opens up, and I think Pollard

0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:13.240
<v Speaker 10>was looking to where he was going to go, and

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:16.440
<v Speaker 10>what happened It opened up to the right of where

0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:19.720
<v Speaker 10>the center was, and so Pollock's probably got his eyes

0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:22.560
<v Speaker 10>up and his eyes are taking him to that direction

0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:25.760
<v Speaker 10>and Prescott's kind of standing there like, wait a minute,

0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:26.800
<v Speaker 10>I'm in your path now.

0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:28.920
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, you're you're right about the way.

0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:32.640
<v Speaker 10>That there's sometimes like there's things that happened that they

0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:35.280
<v Speaker 10>have miss blocks, you know, Stell I don't think Steele

0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:38.119
<v Speaker 10>was really as good as he normally is in the

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:40.280
<v Speaker 10>red zone with some of the blocks that he had.

0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:43.000
<v Speaker 10>They had a little bit of some trouble securing some

0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:45.399
<v Speaker 10>of those down linemen, and you know, those are the

0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:46.840
<v Speaker 10>things that kind of kill you when.

0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:47.520
<v Speaker 3>You run the ball.

0:23:47.560 --> 0:23:50.359
<v Speaker 10>And you know, I think the thing with Hunter Lipkey,

0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:53.040
<v Speaker 10>I mean that was a well designed Again, Ferguson runs

0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:57.600
<v Speaker 10>the Ferguson with a really good seal block Brandon Cooks.

0:23:57.720 --> 0:23:59.600
<v Speaker 10>They bring him in motion and set in there and

0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:01.560
<v Speaker 10>he gets block right at the point of attack. So

0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:03.720
<v Speaker 10>that's how you have to find a way to get

0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:05.960
<v Speaker 10>these some of these touchdowns in this If you get

0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:08.679
<v Speaker 10>these guys, put them in position, and they're able to finish.

0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:08.919
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:11.000
<v Speaker 7>The interesting thing about it is, I actually look at

0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:14.159
<v Speaker 7>the red zone offense and I have reason to believe

0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:16.760
<v Speaker 7>it'll get better over the season because of the kind

0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:19.320
<v Speaker 7>because of the reasons why they're not getting in right now.

0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:20.960
<v Speaker 7>It would be one thing if it was one or

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:23.240
<v Speaker 7>two players that were always making the mistakes and you

0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:25.400
<v Speaker 7>were like, man, we're not getting rid of this guy.

0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:27.240
<v Speaker 7>But he's a problem in the red zone. He's they

0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:28.840
<v Speaker 7>don't have a good runner in the red zone, or

0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:31.240
<v Speaker 7>they have an offensive line who's all who can never

0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:32.200
<v Speaker 7>secure his block.

0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:32.639
<v Speaker 3>In the red zone.

0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:34.840
<v Speaker 7>It's not that it's almost on every play. It's almost

0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:37.199
<v Speaker 7>like there's a different thing that's happening. And that's just

0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:40.040
<v Speaker 7>to me something that as season goes on, more repetitions,

0:24:40.280 --> 0:24:41.840
<v Speaker 7>the hope is that they will get better and get

0:24:41.840 --> 0:24:42.440
<v Speaker 7>more consistent.

0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 10>The thing they have to figure out is how many

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:46.720
<v Speaker 10>plays are you going to put in the game plan

0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:49.639
<v Speaker 10>where you're trying to fool somebody, because they've had some

0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:52.639
<v Speaker 10>red zone struggles this year where they've just they've they've

0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:57.120
<v Speaker 10>they're thinking, Okay, this fake or this movement will draw

0:24:57.160 --> 0:25:01.240
<v Speaker 10>this guy inside. For example, you know that they try

0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:03.080
<v Speaker 10>and they've got a good idea. They're gonna try and

0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 10>throw the ball to Gallop. It's one of the sacks

0:25:05.800 --> 0:25:09.120
<v Speaker 10>that Prescott's Prescott gets against Tavai, you know, and they're

0:25:09.160 --> 0:25:11.760
<v Speaker 10>gonna try and fool him with the run. They're gonna say,

0:25:12.000 --> 0:25:14.600
<v Speaker 10>full flow run to the right and they're gonna hope

0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:17.840
<v Speaker 10>that he trails down inside and then Dak's gonna loop

0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:20.119
<v Speaker 10>and they're gonna throw a little pivot route to the outside,

0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:23.680
<v Speaker 10>a little little in and out route to Gallop and

0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:28.000
<v Speaker 10>it's it's there. The problem is they don't fool the

0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:30.240
<v Speaker 10>in man. He doesn't go down. And they've had it

0:25:30.320 --> 0:25:33.320
<v Speaker 10>a couple of different times where they've left guys unblocked

0:25:33.320 --> 0:25:37.760
<v Speaker 10>and they're saying, Okay, this heavy playfake is going to carry.

0:25:37.440 --> 0:25:40.679
<v Speaker 3>Guys away, and it just has it. They've they've had.

0:25:40.560 --> 0:25:43.480
<v Speaker 10>Two three plays this season where they've just guys have

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:45.119
<v Speaker 10>been left unblocked and.

0:25:45.119 --> 0:25:45.919
<v Speaker 3>They're not fooled.

0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:48.880
<v Speaker 7>Is that also because they haven't been as successful running

0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:51.560
<v Speaker 7>the ball down there? Because if you're not being that successful,

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:55.160
<v Speaker 7>then nobody's gonna like really take that hard playfake, Yeah,

0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:57.760
<v Speaker 7>because they're like zoom running well anyway.

0:25:57.560 --> 0:25:59.880
<v Speaker 10>They assume that people are gonna be undisciplined down there.

0:26:00.280 --> 0:26:03.200
<v Speaker 10>You really do, I mean to me, that's it happened

0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:05.840
<v Speaker 10>in Arizona, it happened this past week. You know, you

0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:08.439
<v Speaker 10>just assume that that this guy is going to go

0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:10.840
<v Speaker 10>flying down inside. And you know, to your point, I

0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:12.960
<v Speaker 10>don't know if it's so much about the running the

0:26:13.000 --> 0:26:13.720
<v Speaker 10>ball down there?

0:26:14.200 --> 0:26:14.840
<v Speaker 3>Is it?

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:17.840
<v Speaker 10>Is it more that you're playing against teams they have

0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:21.120
<v Speaker 10>to think, okay, we have have we seen this guy before?

0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:21.720
<v Speaker 3>Chase?

0:26:22.240 --> 0:26:23.879
<v Speaker 10>You know, to me, that's where I would base the

0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:26.720
<v Speaker 10>game plan. If you've got somebody that's super aggressive always

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:29.560
<v Speaker 10>chasing the ball down inside, I could see doing that.

0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:32.040
<v Speaker 10>But they've had a couple of different times now where

0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:34.399
<v Speaker 10>they've tried to do movement on the goal line and

0:26:34.480 --> 0:26:35.880
<v Speaker 10>it hasn't affected the.

0:26:35.840 --> 0:26:37.080
<v Speaker 3>Guy they're trying to move.

0:26:37.520 --> 0:26:40.280
<v Speaker 10>That's where I kind of maybe some rethought about what

0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 10>you're doing game plan wise, skime wise.

0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:44.600
<v Speaker 7>Speaking, of the red zone. One area we did. They

0:26:44.640 --> 0:26:47.239
<v Speaker 7>did get one positive note coming out of that. They

0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:49.800
<v Speaker 7>use Hunter Lefki down there. He gets into the end zone.

0:26:49.840 --> 0:26:52.439
<v Speaker 7>We talked about it last week, and does that Does

0:26:52.480 --> 0:26:54.840
<v Speaker 7>that kind of make you think, okay, if they if

0:26:54.840 --> 0:26:57.080
<v Speaker 7>they're getting that, if they're starting to realize he could

0:26:57.080 --> 0:26:59.760
<v Speaker 7>be that guy in that area, that that could be

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:03.080
<v Speaker 7>at least the impetus to get the red zone offense

0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:05.080
<v Speaker 7>moving in the right direction. And then from there you

0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:07.879
<v Speaker 7>play off of that with other things. But you know,

0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:10.000
<v Speaker 7>you can maybe rely on him a little bit more

0:27:10.040 --> 0:27:13.080
<v Speaker 7>in those tight situations just handing the ball into the

0:27:13.119 --> 0:27:13.680
<v Speaker 7>end zone.

0:27:13.520 --> 0:27:15.800
<v Speaker 10>More so handing him the ball than letting him block.

0:27:16.520 --> 0:27:20.280
<v Speaker 10>He's not and that's he's a young guy. He'll learn,

0:27:20.680 --> 0:27:23.120
<v Speaker 10>but they're his blocking down there is not as good

0:27:23.119 --> 0:27:25.000
<v Speaker 10>as it needs to be. But you hand him to

0:27:25.000 --> 0:27:28.880
<v Speaker 10>the football, he has a feel for how to get forward.

0:27:28.080 --> 0:27:30.840
<v Speaker 1>I believe that kind of to your point.

0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:33.600
<v Speaker 8>And this is why I wanted Hunter Lopke to be

0:27:33.640 --> 0:27:37.520
<v Speaker 8>more involved in those handoffs because the question last week

0:27:37.720 --> 0:27:40.160
<v Speaker 8>was do the Cowboys missu Ezekiel elliet And I said,

0:27:40.200 --> 0:27:43.879
<v Speaker 8>only as far as comfort level goals, but physical build

0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:45.840
<v Speaker 8>and being able to just hammer a ball in on

0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:48.199
<v Speaker 8>short yardage. I think Hunter Lopke has that ability. And

0:27:48.240 --> 0:27:49.679
<v Speaker 8>then you see them hand him the ball and what

0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:52.560
<v Speaker 8>does he do? He hammers that in. So that gives

0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:55.280
<v Speaker 8>opposing defense as something that they have to concern themselves with,

0:27:55.280 --> 0:27:57.480
<v Speaker 8>because if Hunter Lipky is on the field and there's

0:27:57.520 --> 0:28:00.160
<v Speaker 8>only one or two yards to go, then they're probably

0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:02.879
<v Speaker 8>the more you handed off to him reasonably, so you

0:28:02.880 --> 0:28:04.680
<v Speaker 8>don't want to, you know, overload it. But the more

0:28:04.680 --> 0:28:06.199
<v Speaker 8>you handed off to him, the more they have to

0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:08.720
<v Speaker 8>account for him, and by doing so, that puts them

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:10.960
<v Speaker 8>at a slight disadvantage. If you then want to run

0:28:11.000 --> 0:28:13.639
<v Speaker 8>the creative play that becomes the passing play out in

0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:15.040
<v Speaker 8>the flat or on the you know, in the back

0:28:15.080 --> 0:28:17.359
<v Speaker 8>pylon or something like that. So one thing has to

0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:19.800
<v Speaker 8>compliment the other. And I am a big believer that

0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:22.879
<v Speaker 8>integrating Hunter Lipkey Moore in the short yards game is

0:28:22.920 --> 0:28:25.240
<v Speaker 8>going to help free up some of those passing routes.

0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:28.840
<v Speaker 8>But again, once it does, the execution has to be there.

0:28:29.160 --> 0:28:31.880
<v Speaker 8>I believe that not out of ten times Schoolmaker makes

0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:34.600
<v Speaker 8>that catching the end zone. So those types of things

0:28:34.640 --> 0:28:36.400
<v Speaker 8>have to come into play as well, because the play

0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:38.920
<v Speaker 8>call can be fantastic, but what the player does or

0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:40.880
<v Speaker 8>does not do after that is what really matters.

0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:45.560
<v Speaker 9>Well, we'll see what happens with Rico Dowll's injury. He

0:28:45.680 --> 0:28:48.720
<v Speaker 9>left the game with a hip injury, and I believe today.

0:28:48.600 --> 0:28:51.680
<v Speaker 8>Or you're not kind of yeah, yeah it was X

0:28:51.800 --> 0:28:54.240
<v Speaker 8>rays were negative last night, which is positive. But the

0:28:54.320 --> 0:28:57.120
<v Speaker 8>MRI is scheduled for today if it has not already occurred,

0:28:57.160 --> 0:28:58.719
<v Speaker 8>so we should hopefully get an update on him.

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:01.959
<v Speaker 9>Then what happened with him? If he does have to

0:29:02.160 --> 0:29:06.840
<v Speaker 9>miss some time extended time, I think we would be Oh,

0:29:06.920 --> 0:29:09.960
<v Speaker 9>I would imagine the Cowboys utilizing Hunter maybe.

0:29:10.000 --> 0:29:13.520
<v Speaker 8>So then you also have to look at Miliite Davis squad.

0:29:13.560 --> 0:29:16.480
<v Speaker 8>He'd likely get a lot of that burn as well.

0:29:16.560 --> 0:29:19.480
<v Speaker 8>So being that Malik Davis is the insurance on the

0:29:19.520 --> 0:29:21.440
<v Speaker 8>practice squad, you know that he's going to come up.

0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:24.880

0:29:28.400 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 7>I want to talk about the passing game, particularly the

0:29:31.120 --> 0:29:34.000
<v Speaker 7>deep passing game, Brian, you mentioned it a little bit earlier.

0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:36.360
<v Speaker 7>We saw some things that were pretty I don't know.

0:29:36.480 --> 0:29:39.400
<v Speaker 7>Pretty uh. That that made me think that maybe they

0:29:39.400 --> 0:29:41.480
<v Speaker 7>can get this going and maybe it can be something

0:29:41.520 --> 0:29:43.720
<v Speaker 7>that can be a benefit for them even in this offense.

0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:45.600

0:32:24.680 --> 0:32:27.320
<v Speaker 7>Cowboys win yesterday. They beat the New England Patriots thirty

0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:30.880
<v Speaker 7>eight to three at home and set up the meeting

0:32:30.880 --> 0:32:33.600
<v Speaker 7>that we've all been waiting for. Cowboys versus forty nine Ers,

0:32:33.880 --> 0:32:35.480
<v Speaker 7>make sure you check us out all this week. We'll

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:36.880
<v Speaker 7>be telling you what we think is going to happen.

0:32:36.880 --> 0:32:39.560
<v Speaker 7>We'll break down that forty nine Ers team, really interesting

0:32:39.600 --> 0:32:42.160
<v Speaker 7>and very good team. We'll break all that down this

0:32:42.160 --> 0:32:44.480
<v Speaker 7>week and get you ready for that game. Let's talk

0:32:44.480 --> 0:32:47.600
<v Speaker 7>about the passing game, in particularly the deep passing game.

0:32:48.480 --> 0:32:52.240
<v Speaker 7>Yesterday Dak Prescott about well, first of all, about thirty

0:32:52.240 --> 0:32:55.680
<v Speaker 7>percent of the throws they threw yesterday worth ten plus

0:32:55.760 --> 0:32:58.440
<v Speaker 7>yards in the air, so getting the ball downfield a

0:32:58.440 --> 0:33:01.680
<v Speaker 7>little bit more. Now, only one pass was twenty yards

0:33:01.800 --> 0:33:04.000
<v Speaker 7>or more. It was the one twenty yard touchdown they

0:33:04.000 --> 0:33:05.960
<v Speaker 7>did through the CD LAMB. But they are getting a

0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:08.920
<v Speaker 7>ten plus yards down the field a fairly good amount

0:33:08.960 --> 0:33:11.000
<v Speaker 7>of time. And he's been pretty good yesterday on that

0:33:11.160 --> 0:33:14.560
<v Speaker 7>seventy eight percent completions of those passes that were ten

0:33:14.600 --> 0:33:17.000
<v Speaker 7>to nineteen yards, That was seven of nine for one

0:33:17.080 --> 0:33:20.920
<v Speaker 7>hundred and eleven yards. That being said, is that enough

0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:22.920
<v Speaker 7>for you to feel like this team is getting what

0:33:23.000 --> 0:33:25.600
<v Speaker 7>it needs out of a deeper passing game or do

0:33:25.640 --> 0:33:27.400
<v Speaker 7>you really think they need to see more of those

0:33:27.440 --> 0:33:30.800
<v Speaker 7>twenty plus yard plays to really really be able to

0:33:30.800 --> 0:33:32.240
<v Speaker 7>get what you need out of this offense.

0:33:32.800 --> 0:33:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I think you need more.

0:33:34.200 --> 0:33:37.320
<v Speaker 8>I think it's positive, it's its progress and kind of

0:33:37.360 --> 0:33:39.040
<v Speaker 8>like what I wrote in the Science Lab last week,

0:33:39.160 --> 0:33:40.640
<v Speaker 8>I think you need more. And then when you look

0:33:40.680 --> 0:33:42.880
<v Speaker 8>at this next gen chart and it breaks down, you

0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:46.000
<v Speaker 8>still even in yesterday's game, you didn't see anything past

0:33:46.040 --> 0:33:48.160
<v Speaker 8>twenty yards in the middle of the field. So that

0:33:48.200 --> 0:33:51.320
<v Speaker 8>middle of the field is still still a glaring opportunity

0:33:51.320 --> 0:33:53.040
<v Speaker 8>for the Cowboys to try to attack. And I know

0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:55.400
<v Speaker 8>they it seems like their gun shot from it because

0:33:55.400 --> 0:33:58.160
<v Speaker 8>of the interceptions that happened in that particular area of

0:33:58.240 --> 0:34:00.400
<v Speaker 8>the field. But I feel like that's leaving some meat

0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:03.440
<v Speaker 8>on the bone. If you want an opposing defense and

0:34:03.520 --> 0:34:05.560
<v Speaker 8>an opposing secondary to cover, you want them to cover

0:34:05.640 --> 0:34:07.520
<v Speaker 8>the entire field, not just two thirds of the field,

0:34:07.560 --> 0:34:09.720
<v Speaker 8>not just the boundary. Make them cover that twenty plus

0:34:09.800 --> 0:34:12.359
<v Speaker 8>yards and down the middle as well. So yes, there's

0:34:12.400 --> 0:34:15.640
<v Speaker 8>some progress being made there. But I think that while

0:34:15.680 --> 0:34:18.960
<v Speaker 8>we understand that the West Coast at its basis is

0:34:19.160 --> 0:34:21.360
<v Speaker 8>about getting the ball out quickly in the hands of

0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:23.839
<v Speaker 8>your playmakers so they can make the plays, I do

0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:25.759
<v Speaker 8>think when you have a guy like Ceedee Lamb and

0:34:25.800 --> 0:34:27.680
<v Speaker 8>you have a guy like Michael Gallup who's a deep

0:34:27.719 --> 0:34:29.719
<v Speaker 8>threat on the goal ball, and you have Brandon Cooks,

0:34:29.719 --> 0:34:32.399
<v Speaker 8>who you added via trade. You have guys that can

0:34:32.440 --> 0:34:34.439
<v Speaker 8>go deep. So you need to try to at least

0:34:34.440 --> 0:34:36.640
<v Speaker 8>take those shots and stretch that field, which will make

0:34:36.719 --> 0:34:39.200
<v Speaker 8>opposing defenses play with more on their heels. And then

0:34:39.239 --> 0:34:40.840
<v Speaker 8>guess what you get to do. Then you get to

0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:43.640
<v Speaker 8>run the ball more effectively. One thing comes one hand

0:34:43.719 --> 0:34:45.000
<v Speaker 8>washes the other in that capacity.

0:34:45.440 --> 0:34:51.680
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, you mentioned a touchdown to with where Lamb was

0:34:51.719 --> 0:34:54.200
<v Speaker 10>able to score, and you know everybody's asking about, well,

0:34:54.200 --> 0:34:56.799
<v Speaker 10>did you take advantage of Christian Gonzales being out? That

0:34:56.920 --> 0:34:59.640
<v Speaker 10>was the next play. Yeah, he's on the other side

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:03.239
<v Speaker 10>after Miles Bryant in this one. It wasn't the replacement

0:35:03.320 --> 0:35:06.080
<v Speaker 10>of Gonzales. It was they went after the starter, is

0:35:06.120 --> 0:35:09.840
<v Speaker 10>what they did. And it was a really well designed play.

0:35:10.080 --> 0:35:12.719
<v Speaker 10>They went thirteen personnel with it, three tight ends, the

0:35:12.760 --> 0:35:17.040
<v Speaker 10>one back, and I mean Lamb gets separation right off

0:35:17.040 --> 0:35:20.760
<v Speaker 10>the jump, and I think this is where the cowboy

0:35:20.880 --> 0:35:25.640
<v Speaker 10>deep passing game could flourish if in fact, you're winning

0:35:25.760 --> 0:35:28.560
<v Speaker 10>off the jump, if you're winning off the line, if

0:35:28.560 --> 0:35:31.919
<v Speaker 10>you're able to get separation as you're going up the field.

0:35:31.920 --> 0:35:34.319
<v Speaker 10>They did a great job of driving play a lot

0:35:34.360 --> 0:35:37.040
<v Speaker 10>of his own coverage. The Patriots, they're do a great

0:35:37.120 --> 0:35:40.359
<v Speaker 10>job of driving these defenders back and then coming back

0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:42.879
<v Speaker 10>to the ball. But if you could win right off

0:35:42.920 --> 0:35:46.800
<v Speaker 10>the jump, like Lamb was able to win off Miles Bryant,

0:35:47.320 --> 0:35:49.960
<v Speaker 10>you could throw the ball down the fields. That's the

0:35:50.040 --> 0:35:53.959
<v Speaker 10>possibly the matter of fact. The schoon Maker pass going

0:35:54.000 --> 0:35:55.960
<v Speaker 10>back and thinking about that when it went to the

0:35:56.000 --> 0:35:58.360
<v Speaker 10>middle of field was a longer play.

0:35:58.560 --> 0:35:59.440
<v Speaker 3>But man, he could.

0:35:59.320 --> 0:36:01.480
<v Speaker 10>Throw a touchdown to Brandon Cooks over in the right

0:36:01.600 --> 0:36:04.040
<v Speaker 10>corner of the end zone. Cooks was that down the

0:36:04.040 --> 0:36:07.240
<v Speaker 10>field separation, you know. I mean Dak was trying. Okay,

0:36:07.400 --> 0:36:09.880
<v Speaker 10>I'm going to fit this thing in between those two safeties,

0:36:10.239 --> 0:36:11.680
<v Speaker 10>and this thing's going to be a touchdown.

0:36:11.719 --> 0:36:14.360
<v Speaker 3>And it should have been a touchdown. It was.

0:36:14.560 --> 0:36:16.919
<v Speaker 10>He should have been a touchdown. But the thing about

0:36:16.960 --> 0:36:19.400
<v Speaker 10>it is, though they are doing a better job. If

0:36:19.400 --> 0:36:22.480
<v Speaker 10>they can win off the line, they can get vertical

0:36:22.480 --> 0:36:24.480
<v Speaker 10>in a lot of these routes, and that that will

0:36:24.480 --> 0:36:26.560
<v Speaker 10>help them with their long passing game.

0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:27.880
<v Speaker 3>Well, for.

0:36:29.760 --> 0:36:32.880
<v Speaker 9>Long passes like that, I would say, yeah, absolutely needed.

0:36:33.239 --> 0:36:36.680
<v Speaker 9>When you're trying to put that on film, film and

0:36:37.120 --> 0:36:39.840
<v Speaker 9>keep defenses on their toes and all that. But right now,

0:36:40.239 --> 0:36:44.680
<v Speaker 9>I personally, I'm okay with what they're doing just because

0:36:45.160 --> 0:36:49.280
<v Speaker 9>I mean, they moved the ball so quickly anyways, they've

0:36:49.320 --> 0:36:53.960
<v Speaker 9>been so good at it, and that's if there are

0:36:54.000 --> 0:36:56.520
<v Speaker 9>no penalties or a flag or anything like that. It

0:36:56.680 --> 0:36:59.160
<v Speaker 9>just moves so quick. I'm looking dot on my computer.

0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:01.600
<v Speaker 9>They're on the field, start all the way to the right,

0:37:01.680 --> 0:37:03.800
<v Speaker 9>and I look up and they're about to get into

0:37:03.840 --> 0:37:07.600
<v Speaker 9>the you know, the twenty yard line. And so it's

0:37:07.680 --> 0:37:10.720
<v Speaker 9>been effective what they're doing. But I would say it's definite.

0:37:11.000 --> 0:37:15.040
<v Speaker 9>It would definitely be beneficial to start incorporating more of

0:37:15.080 --> 0:37:19.360
<v Speaker 9>those taking those chances and hopefully they're positive and it

0:37:19.480 --> 0:37:22.480
<v Speaker 9>works because then you're putting that on film for other

0:37:22.520 --> 0:37:24.920
<v Speaker 9>teams to be aware of and keep them guessing.

0:37:25.000 --> 0:37:27.360
<v Speaker 8>I think this might be setting them up in a

0:37:27.400 --> 0:37:29.200
<v Speaker 8>good way to be able to go down the field

0:37:29.200 --> 0:37:31.480
<v Speaker 8>in the coming weeks. Because, for example, we talked about,

0:37:31.560 --> 0:37:34.280
<v Speaker 8>you know, how does Michael Gallup play into this Texas

0:37:34.280 --> 0:37:36.680
<v Speaker 8>Coast offense? Is a square peg round hole? Well, okay,

0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:38.799
<v Speaker 8>we've got that question answered. Over the past two weeks,

0:37:38.800 --> 0:37:42.480
<v Speaker 8>he've hit he's had two really solid, two really solid

0:37:42.480 --> 0:37:45.320
<v Speaker 8>games one in Arizona. Now that sixty yard game he

0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:47.759
<v Speaker 8>just put up against the Patriots. But then if you

0:37:47.800 --> 0:37:50.239
<v Speaker 8>also look at what he's been doing, it's forty four

0:37:50.320 --> 0:37:53.520
<v Speaker 8>yards after the catch against the Patriots. So he's getting

0:37:53.560 --> 0:37:56.960
<v Speaker 8>separation and better than I've ever seen him get separation

0:37:57.080 --> 0:37:59.080
<v Speaker 8>on his breaks, and then he's getting a ton of

0:37:59.160 --> 0:38:01.920
<v Speaker 8>yeck thereafter. So what's going to happen is opposing defense

0:38:02.000 --> 0:38:04.160
<v Speaker 8>is they're going to start try to play him up

0:38:04.360 --> 0:38:06.640
<v Speaker 8>because they're going to say, oh, well, Michael gallup. He's

0:38:06.680 --> 0:38:08.560
<v Speaker 8>not just the goal route guy. He can attack us

0:38:08.560 --> 0:38:10.319
<v Speaker 8>at the second level. And then when they do that,

0:38:10.320 --> 0:38:12.799
<v Speaker 8>that's when you tell Michael go, and that's when you

0:38:12.840 --> 0:38:14.200
<v Speaker 8>can really start to break the game open.

0:38:14.239 --> 0:38:16.960
<v Speaker 1>So I think this might be that long.

0:38:17.280 --> 0:38:20.120
<v Speaker 8>Term chess match that McCarthy's playing over the course of

0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:21.240
<v Speaker 8>seventeen plus games.

0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:23.799
<v Speaker 7>Let's get a question from Dan and Philly. He says,

0:38:23.880 --> 0:38:26.879
<v Speaker 7>thoughts on Cooks not really getting involved in the passing game.

0:38:26.920 --> 0:38:29.920
<v Speaker 7>It's disappointing to me. I thought they would use his

0:38:30.000 --> 0:38:32.200
<v Speaker 7>speed to go deep more. You guys disappointed about what

0:38:32.239 --> 0:38:33.399
<v Speaker 7>he's been able to do so far.

0:38:34.239 --> 0:38:37.360
<v Speaker 10>Well, I think that there's to Dan's point, there's things

0:38:38.040 --> 0:38:41.160
<v Speaker 10>I mentioned the block on that he was able to

0:38:41.200 --> 0:38:45.480
<v Speaker 10>get on the touchdown they had down there in the

0:38:45.480 --> 0:38:47.560
<v Speaker 10>red zone, that he's doing what he has to do.

0:38:47.560 --> 0:38:51.000
<v Speaker 10>They're asking to run crossing routes things like that, they're

0:38:51.000 --> 0:38:54.960
<v Speaker 10>asking to drag routes. I mentioned that the pass that

0:38:55.000 --> 0:38:57.600
<v Speaker 10>went to Schoonmaker down the middle of the field, he

0:38:57.760 --> 0:38:59.400
<v Speaker 10>was opening the end zone. That could have been a

0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:02.479
<v Speaker 10>ball that was throwing his direction off the right side there.

0:39:02.840 --> 0:39:05.719
<v Speaker 10>Dak took the shot. He saw cover too. He's trying

0:39:05.760 --> 0:39:08.680
<v Speaker 10>to fit Schoonmaker in there, and you know he had it.

0:39:08.920 --> 0:39:11.920
<v Speaker 10>And you know, but if if when he watches the

0:39:11.960 --> 0:39:14.080
<v Speaker 10>tape today, he's going to see there's a couple of

0:39:14.120 --> 0:39:17.040
<v Speaker 10>different times where Cooks was open and you know, the

0:39:17.080 --> 0:39:19.759
<v Speaker 10>ball just doesn't go your direction. Sometimes that's a great

0:39:19.760 --> 0:39:23.439
<v Speaker 10>thing about sitting down and studying these games that you say, well,

0:39:23.480 --> 0:39:25.520
<v Speaker 10>I'm a little disappointed in this guy or that guy.

0:39:25.560 --> 0:39:27.600
<v Speaker 10>But then you say, well, man, this guy's doing his job.

0:39:28.040 --> 0:39:30.759
<v Speaker 10>He's getting open. You know, the ball is just not

0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:34.120
<v Speaker 10>going his way. And I think that I think there's

0:39:34.160 --> 0:39:37.279
<v Speaker 10>going to be some opportunities where they do figure out

0:39:37.280 --> 0:39:39.560
<v Speaker 10>how to get him the ball down the field. He

0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:41.560
<v Speaker 10>is a weapon in every sense of the word.

0:39:42.080 --> 0:39:42.200
<v Speaker 14>Uh.

0:39:42.440 --> 0:39:46.200
<v Speaker 10>But again there's there's you know, the balls that Dak's throwing.

0:39:46.239 --> 0:39:49.239
<v Speaker 10>He's throwing to the right guys, they're they're getting finishes.

0:39:49.600 --> 0:39:51.759
<v Speaker 10>But I think Cooks is finding ways to get open.

0:39:51.800 --> 0:39:52.719
<v Speaker 10>I don't think Cooks was.

0:39:52.680 --> 0:39:56.239
<v Speaker 3>Open as much last game against Arizona.

0:39:56.840 --> 0:39:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:39:57.120 --> 0:39:59.239
<v Speaker 10>That was a little bit of struggle for all the receivers.

0:39:59.320 --> 0:40:01.279
<v Speaker 10>But in this game, these guys did a nice job

0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:04.919
<v Speaker 10>of finding separation in this own defense and making some good,

0:40:05.120 --> 0:40:06.320
<v Speaker 10>good plays.

0:40:05.960 --> 0:40:09.279
<v Speaker 8>And they're sending him at least often enough to keep

0:40:09.360 --> 0:40:12.480
<v Speaker 8>the safeties kind of playing honest. Because if you go

0:40:12.520 --> 0:40:14.200
<v Speaker 8>back and you look at his route chart against the

0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:18.279
<v Speaker 8>Patriots up the middle where they haven't been throwing deep

0:40:18.360 --> 0:40:20.480
<v Speaker 8>middle thirty plus yards, he had a route go that way.

0:40:20.520 --> 0:40:21.800
<v Speaker 1>He had a twenty four.

0:40:21.760 --> 0:40:25.520
<v Speaker 8>Ish route deep middle, and then on the right side

0:40:25.560 --> 0:40:28.080
<v Speaker 8>he had an eighteen nineteen yards. So I mean they're

0:40:28.120 --> 0:40:30.719
<v Speaker 8>sending him. It's just a matter of those were non

0:40:30.760 --> 0:40:33.400
<v Speaker 8>targeted though. So those are those types of plays that

0:40:33.480 --> 0:40:35.680
<v Speaker 8>maybe he was the decoy and they wanted to see

0:40:35.719 --> 0:40:37.640
<v Speaker 8>if he get open. But you know, I think those

0:40:37.680 --> 0:40:40.319
<v Speaker 8>who start to kind of play themselves into the Cowboys

0:40:40.400 --> 0:40:43.760
<v Speaker 8>offense as the season rolls along. So I mean, ultimately

0:40:43.800 --> 0:40:46.200
<v Speaker 8>he did finish with four targets, four catches. On those

0:40:46.239 --> 0:40:49.560
<v Speaker 8>four targets, he had the effective block, so you know,

0:40:49.840 --> 0:40:52.279
<v Speaker 8>keeping in mind that he also missed week two, right,

0:40:52.400 --> 0:40:54.920
<v Speaker 8>he didn't play in the preseason, nor did Dak Prescott,

0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:56.880
<v Speaker 8>so give him a moment. I think he's getting his

0:40:57.239 --> 0:40:59.359
<v Speaker 8>wheels in this Cowboys system, and I think it'll start

0:40:59.400 --> 0:40:59.960
<v Speaker 8>to show here soon.

0:41:00.400 --> 0:41:03.000
<v Speaker 9>Well, we're heading into week five and at least.

0:41:02.719 --> 0:41:05.040
<v Speaker 8>That huh No, I was gonna say week five is

0:41:05.040 --> 0:41:06.719
<v Speaker 8>when we really start to find out what it looks like.

0:41:06.840 --> 0:41:11.319
<v Speaker 9>Yes, but he's another weapon that you're just excited to

0:41:11.400 --> 0:41:14.239
<v Speaker 9>keep like that you have but haven't seen all of

0:41:14.280 --> 0:41:16.800
<v Speaker 9>it yet, So that's exciting. I would say it's definitely

0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:20.880
<v Speaker 9>disappointing that he hasn't been super involved right now, and

0:41:21.080 --> 0:41:24.480
<v Speaker 9>in week four, there's only a couple of plays that

0:41:24.520 --> 0:41:28.920
<v Speaker 9>I can vividly remember that he's done in the games

0:41:28.960 --> 0:41:31.960
<v Speaker 9>that he has played so far, and that's disappointing because

0:41:32.280 --> 0:41:34.960
<v Speaker 9>all through training camp, I mean, he was my favorite

0:41:34.960 --> 0:41:37.880
<v Speaker 9>player to watch. One guy that we kept talking about

0:41:37.880 --> 0:41:41.480
<v Speaker 9>on the show, the type of weapon or a deep

0:41:41.600 --> 0:41:46.400
<v Speaker 9>threat speed that he showed and how the chemistry between

0:41:46.440 --> 0:41:50.040
<v Speaker 9>him and Dak it was just so automatic right away,

0:41:50.160 --> 0:41:52.600
<v Speaker 9>right off the bat, they were connecting so well, and

0:41:52.640 --> 0:41:54.319
<v Speaker 9>all of a sudden we haven't had a chance to

0:41:54.440 --> 0:42:00.680
<v Speaker 9>see really see that to fruition during games, but hopefully

0:42:01.120 --> 0:42:02.359
<v Speaker 9>hopefully happens soon.

0:42:02.920 --> 0:42:04.600
<v Speaker 7>All right, real quick, before we end the show, I

0:42:04.600 --> 0:42:06.160
<v Speaker 7>did want to talk a little bit about the tight ends.

0:42:06.200 --> 0:42:08.480
<v Speaker 7>As you mentioned earlier, Ferguson had a nice day. He

0:42:08.560 --> 0:42:12.320
<v Speaker 7>is becoming a real weapon, I think for Dak Prescott.

0:42:12.360 --> 0:42:14.640
<v Speaker 7>But Brian, I think you were one mentioning last week

0:42:14.680 --> 0:42:17.040
<v Speaker 7>as you look at the tight ends, doesn't seem to

0:42:17.080 --> 0:42:20.080
<v Speaker 7>quite have the same I don't know, it just doesn't

0:42:20.080 --> 0:42:21.400
<v Speaker 7>seem to be the same as what it was with

0:42:21.480 --> 0:42:24.200
<v Speaker 7>Dalton Schultz last year. What we did see yesterday was

0:42:24.200 --> 0:42:27.600
<v Speaker 7>Schoolmaker had three different opportunities. He didn't get a single catch.

0:42:28.120 --> 0:42:31.239
<v Speaker 7>I don't think Peyton Hendershott had a single target yesterday.

0:42:31.600 --> 0:42:33.040
<v Speaker 3>Do you think the counboy hit right?

0:42:33.360 --> 0:42:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:42:33.600 --> 0:42:34.799
<v Speaker 3>Right, right? Yeah?

0:42:34.800 --> 0:42:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Show me someone was up for him.

0:42:36.000 --> 0:42:38.680
<v Speaker 7>So you're looking at a situation where you're really do

0:42:38.680 --> 0:42:40.399
<v Speaker 7>you think you're not getting enough out of the tight

0:42:40.480 --> 0:42:43.560
<v Speaker 7>end position, even though Ferguson is actually providing something really

0:42:43.680 --> 0:42:46.160
<v Speaker 7>nice for you. Do you really need more from those

0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:48.960
<v Speaker 7>other tight ends, especially considering as much as Dallas likes

0:42:49.040 --> 0:42:50.320
<v Speaker 7>Froun twelve and thirteen personnel.

0:42:50.400 --> 0:42:53.360
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, it's it's funny that you say that, But to me,

0:42:53.960 --> 0:42:57.759
<v Speaker 10>I think Schoonmaker had the drop was bad. Yeah, that

0:42:57.880 --> 0:42:59.759
<v Speaker 10>was a bad play. He's got to make that play,

0:42:59.760 --> 0:43:02.040
<v Speaker 10>and he knows he has to make that play. The

0:43:02.160 --> 0:43:04.400
<v Speaker 10>other one he had an opportunity on. The ball is

0:43:04.440 --> 0:43:06.319
<v Speaker 10>tipped at the line of scrimmage, if you remember, they're

0:43:06.360 --> 0:43:08.440
<v Speaker 10>down there in the red zone, and like he's got

0:43:08.520 --> 0:43:11.600
<v Speaker 10>the defender on his back and Dak is gonna throw

0:43:11.600 --> 0:43:13.879
<v Speaker 10>the ball to the outside there and there's probably gonna

0:43:13.880 --> 0:43:15.839
<v Speaker 10>be a catch, and then it's gonna be a die

0:43:15.920 --> 0:43:19.440
<v Speaker 10>for the goal line. Bentley the linebacker is gonna rush,

0:43:19.600 --> 0:43:23.080
<v Speaker 10>and Zach Martin just stones him and it stops Bentley.

0:43:23.120 --> 0:43:25.480
<v Speaker 10>So he doesn't so what does he do? He backs

0:43:25.600 --> 0:43:28.120
<v Speaker 10>up and he just jumps and so instead of the

0:43:28.160 --> 0:43:31.759
<v Speaker 10>ball going to scoon Maker, it's tipped and knocked away.

0:43:31.800 --> 0:43:34.080
<v Speaker 10>There you go, there's another one of your red zone

0:43:34.480 --> 0:43:36.800
<v Speaker 10>You know, what the hell, what the hell just happened?

0:43:36.840 --> 0:43:37.200
<v Speaker 3>Plays?

0:43:37.560 --> 0:43:40.200
<v Speaker 10>You know, it probably would have resulted in either a

0:43:40.280 --> 0:43:42.839
<v Speaker 10>catch at the one or a catch and a touchdown.

0:43:43.320 --> 0:43:46.120
<v Speaker 10>But yeah, I think, you know, I look at also

0:43:46.239 --> 0:43:49.040
<v Speaker 10>the way that these guys blocked in some of the

0:43:49.120 --> 0:43:52.000
<v Speaker 10>running opportunities. Hell, McEwan made a hell of a play

0:43:52.080 --> 0:43:55.680
<v Speaker 10>getting down the field and recovering Turpin's fumble. You know,

0:43:55.719 --> 0:43:58.240
<v Speaker 10>I mean he gets the key block to get Turpin

0:43:58.320 --> 0:44:02.000
<v Speaker 10>around the corner and now he's chasing the play much

0:44:02.160 --> 0:44:04.640
<v Speaker 10>like what we have with Tyler Biattish and you know,

0:44:04.760 --> 0:44:06.080
<v Speaker 10>falls on the ball right there.

0:44:06.120 --> 0:44:08.080
<v Speaker 3>You know, could have been a bad situation.

0:44:08.160 --> 0:44:10.560
<v Speaker 9>When that happened, I was like, thank God a guy

0:44:10.719 --> 0:44:13.279
<v Speaker 9>is running along with the person who has the ball.

0:44:15.160 --> 0:44:18.840
<v Speaker 3>There are some moments where these guys should they've done more. Absolutely.

0:44:19.239 --> 0:44:20.919
<v Speaker 3>Is there some bad luck along the way?

0:44:21.239 --> 0:44:24.640
<v Speaker 10>Absolutely, you know there's some There's some unfortunate things that.

0:44:24.719 --> 0:44:26.720
<v Speaker 3>Happened, uh with these guys.

0:44:26.880 --> 0:44:29.120
<v Speaker 10>I think the thing with Ferguson that I've learned is

0:44:29.640 --> 0:44:31.480
<v Speaker 10>every time you throw him the ball, he's gonna make

0:44:31.520 --> 0:44:32.600
<v Speaker 10>one or two guys miss.

0:44:32.960 --> 0:44:34.680
<v Speaker 3>He is this run after catch guy.

0:44:34.719 --> 0:44:37.520
<v Speaker 10>It's that the slant he caught him third down and

0:44:37.560 --> 0:44:39.480
<v Speaker 10>got it was like a third and five.

0:44:39.960 --> 0:44:41.200
<v Speaker 3>He gets nine yards.

0:44:41.239 --> 0:44:44.239
<v Speaker 10>I mean just carrying guys with him, uh, you know

0:44:44.440 --> 0:44:47.800
<v Speaker 10>for the first down, so getting more from him.

0:44:47.920 --> 0:44:51.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Sure. But are you just totally like, oh, it's

0:44:51.160 --> 0:44:54.880
<v Speaker 3>just a bad group. I don't. I don't think so.

0:44:55.160 --> 0:44:55.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't think so.

0:44:55.680 --> 0:44:58.439
<v Speaker 10>I think we're starting to see some things with them

0:44:58.440 --> 0:45:01.000
<v Speaker 10>and how they're using these guys a little bit more,

0:45:01.080 --> 0:45:03.400
<v Speaker 10>and I think it's going to benefit, you know, in

0:45:03.440 --> 0:45:04.480
<v Speaker 10>the in the coming weeks.

0:45:04.600 --> 0:45:07.520
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and when it comes to Jake Ferguson, and we've

0:45:07.560 --> 0:45:09.839
<v Speaker 8>talked about it, and I said, until further notice, he's

0:45:09.880 --> 0:45:12.319
<v Speaker 8>the tight end one, and as Schoonmaker starts to kind

0:45:12.320 --> 0:45:15.040
<v Speaker 8>of come along, maybe we'll revisit and have this conversation

0:45:15.160 --> 0:45:17.800
<v Speaker 8>later in the year. But Jake Ferguson, you know, he

0:45:18.239 --> 0:45:21.000
<v Speaker 8>overcame the drop in the rain against the Giants, but

0:45:21.080 --> 0:45:23.440
<v Speaker 8>even that, that was a fantastic blocking game for him.

0:45:23.440 --> 0:45:26.080
<v Speaker 8>You can see he's put on some mass, he's getting

0:45:26.080 --> 0:45:27.720
<v Speaker 8>in there, he's getting dirty with the blocking.

0:45:27.960 --> 0:45:29.040
<v Speaker 1>You absolutely love it.

0:45:29.160 --> 0:45:31.280
<v Speaker 8>And then now he's starting to come on as Deck's

0:45:31.320 --> 0:45:35.319
<v Speaker 8>security blanket. Seven targets, seven catches, seventy seven yards in

0:45:35.360 --> 0:45:38.200
<v Speaker 8>that obliteration of the Patriots. So I love what I'm

0:45:38.239 --> 0:45:41.160
<v Speaker 8>seeing from Jake Ferguson and at the moment, after seeing

0:45:41.200 --> 0:45:44.279
<v Speaker 8>what he is doing as both a blocker and as

0:45:44.320 --> 0:45:48.239
<v Speaker 8>a receiver, and you know, in being a receiver the

0:45:48.360 --> 0:45:51.719
<v Speaker 8>yak and also the dirty yards because he's making guys miss,

0:45:51.760 --> 0:45:54.360
<v Speaker 8>but he's also running through guys and running over guys.

0:45:54.680 --> 0:45:56.440
<v Speaker 8>I don't know that I would say I need to

0:45:56.440 --> 0:45:58.360
<v Speaker 8>see more from Jake because I feel like more is

0:45:58.400 --> 0:46:01.160
<v Speaker 8>coming anyway. What you want to see is while Sean

0:46:01.239 --> 0:46:03.600
<v Speaker 8>McEwan being Johnny on the spot, great job with that.

0:46:04.320 --> 0:46:07.440
<v Speaker 8>You want to see more production from a receiving standpoint

0:46:07.520 --> 0:46:11.080
<v Speaker 8>for those Titans not named Jake Ferguson Schoonmaker. I believe

0:46:11.120 --> 0:46:14.120
<v Speaker 8>he'll come in eventually, that'll come on for him. I

0:46:14.160 --> 0:46:16.960
<v Speaker 8>don't think you're going to see him target it three

0:46:17.000 --> 0:46:19.480
<v Speaker 8>times and not catch any of those going forward. We

0:46:19.520 --> 0:46:21.840
<v Speaker 8>talked about it Brian at Michigan. I don't think Michigan

0:46:21.920 --> 0:46:23.040
<v Speaker 8>really used his hands.

0:46:23.160 --> 0:46:25.480
<v Speaker 3>I think he has he's got to make plays. Yeah,

0:46:25.560 --> 0:46:26.600
<v Speaker 3>that's the bottom line.

0:46:26.640 --> 0:46:29.000
<v Speaker 10>I mean, yeah, and he's going to get criticized because

0:46:29.000 --> 0:46:30.120
<v Speaker 10>he was the second round pick.

0:46:30.200 --> 0:46:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So that's my point.

0:46:31.400 --> 0:46:34.239
<v Speaker 8>You want to see more production from Loop Schoolmaker as

0:46:34.280 --> 0:46:36.640
<v Speaker 8>a receiver. You need to see more of that. You

0:46:36.680 --> 0:46:38.680
<v Speaker 8>want to see more when Peyt Hendershot gets back on

0:46:38.680 --> 0:46:40.719
<v Speaker 8>the field. He missed this pass Onday because of the

0:46:40.960 --> 0:46:44.279
<v Speaker 8>ankle injury, but prior to that, yes, he's upgraded as

0:46:44.280 --> 0:46:46.560
<v Speaker 8>a blocer. Not as good as Jake just yet. But

0:46:46.800 --> 0:46:49.879
<v Speaker 8>where's Peyton Hendershot in the receiving course? So to answer

0:46:49.880 --> 0:46:52.399
<v Speaker 8>your question, Derek, when it comes to Jake Ferguson, love

0:46:52.480 --> 0:46:55.680
<v Speaker 8>what he's got going on. And thankfully for the Cowboys

0:46:55.680 --> 0:46:58.439
<v Speaker 8>they have at least that guy. They have a him

0:46:58.760 --> 0:47:01.719
<v Speaker 8>that's definitive in that room and right now with Jake Ferguson,

0:47:01.840 --> 0:47:04.440
<v Speaker 8>But for the other guys from the receiving component, you

0:47:04.480 --> 0:47:06.759
<v Speaker 8>gotta get more. Schoolmaker's got to make those plays and

0:47:06.800 --> 0:47:08.319
<v Speaker 8>he'll be the first one to say he has to.

0:47:08.800 --> 0:47:11.240
<v Speaker 8>Sean McEwan. You know what you have with Sean McKowen.

0:47:11.280 --> 0:47:12.799
<v Speaker 8>He's never going to really be that guy. But when

0:47:12.840 --> 0:47:15.320
<v Speaker 8>Peyton Hendershott gets back, what do you got there? Especially

0:47:15.360 --> 0:47:16.920
<v Speaker 8>in the season where you were hoping that you'd have

0:47:17.000 --> 0:47:18.919
<v Speaker 8>John Stevens, but you lost him before you could really

0:47:18.960 --> 0:47:19.600
<v Speaker 8>do much with him.

0:47:19.840 --> 0:47:21.920
<v Speaker 7>All right, appreciate you guys, Johnes, We'll be back tomorrow

0:47:22.000 --> 0:47:25.120
<v Speaker 7>we'll start taking a little bit of a bigger picture

0:47:25.680 --> 0:47:28.839
<v Speaker 7>look at the NFL and the NFC East Giants played

0:47:28.840 --> 0:47:31.279
<v Speaker 7>tonight on Monday Night Football. Will see how they end up.

0:47:31.480 --> 0:47:31.799
<v Speaker 1>Till then.

0:47:31.840 --> 0:47:34.760
<v Speaker 7>For Patrick Walker, Brian brought us Ambergarci. I'm Derek Eagleton.
