Speaker 5: to move forward and we'll see where this goes. Hopefully,

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 5: hopefully the Cowboys learned their lesson last week was a

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 5: nice shot in the mouth, and hopefully they wake up

21
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 5: and get themselves back on track this week. Brian in

22
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 5: the show today is going to give us a good

23
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 5: overview of Cowboys offense for No Atriots defense. We're going

24
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 5: to talk a little bit about some things that went

25
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 5: right last weekend. We didn't really do that this week.

26
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 5: On Monday and Tuesday, we spent a lot of time

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 5: on what went wrong, but there were a couple of

28
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 5: things that were really good from the Cowboys standpoint in

29
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 5: that game. On Sunday, we'll detail some of those. And

30
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 5: let's start first though, with updates on where we are

31
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 5: from the standpoint of injuries. Patrick Walkers through what we're

32
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 5: what we're looking for this week, what we who are

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 5: the players that we need to keep an eye on

34
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 5: with regards to injuries.

35
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 7: Well, we're talking about first and foremost of three starting

36
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 7: offensive linemen Tyron Smith, Tyler Battish and Zach Martin.

37
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones.

38
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 7: This morning, he was tight lipped about it on one

39
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 7: O five three FM The Fan. Mike McCarthy was tight

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 7: lipped about it in the press conference on you yesterday,

41
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 7: and I expect he will be again this morning. Which

42
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 7: waiting to see what happens. Today's gonna be the first

43
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 7: week of practice, a first day of practice, I'm sorry

44
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 7: for Week four against the Patriots. We'll see who's expected

45
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 7: to do what and who does what. But there's a

46
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 7: chance if you go back to what Stephen Jones told

47
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 7: one O five three FM The Fan a couple of

48
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 7: days ago, it is possible that the Cowboys see a

49
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 7: whole offensive line going in against the Patriots. He did

50
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 7: kind of give a caveat and saying, you know, let's

51
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 7: see how the week goes. Obviously that goes without saying,

52
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 7: but he did make that clear. But he did say,

53
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 7: quote unquote, there's a possibility. So I do expect that,

54
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 7: you know, multiple guys on that three man front we're

55
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 7: talking about Tyler, Tyron and and Zach will get some work,

56
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 7: maybe as early as today. But we'll see as far

57
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 7: as any other injuries, they're all in the same breath

58
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 7: right now. We're just waiting and see and but those

59
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 7: are the top three guys. Obviously, Donald came back last week,

60
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 7: and you know, he had his ups and downs. Make sense,

61
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 7: he hadn't played, you know, since he suffered the CAF

62
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 7: strain in early in training camp. But yeah, so offensive lineman,

63
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 7: we saw what happened when they were out. Offensive line

64
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 7: didn't lose the game, but it impacted McCarthy's play callings.

65
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 7: So hopefully those guys get back so we can see

66
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 7: this verticality with this Texas Coast offense.

67
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: Worry about Beyondish in this one, you know, because of

68
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 3: Patrick's right, we'll see. But we've also thought about with

69
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: Tyler Smith, if you're just playing the game of how

70
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: things have kind of worked, you know through three weeks

71
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 3: of the season, when it comes to these injuries and

72
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 3: it's a hamstring and it's this and that, and you're

73
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 3: just like, oh, it's minor, it's okay, it's you know,

74
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: we'll be fine here, Yeah, it will. But we've also

75
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: seen these guys miss two three games also, so I

76
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 3: would keep an eye on Beyondish this week and see

77
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: how much did he really practices like that Smith and Martin,

78
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: you know, those are the ones I think that are

79
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: probably further along than what Tyler Beyodish is.

80
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 8: So with one of the comments that have prompted this

81
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 8: whole injuriesuation, with McCarthy saying, I forgot exactly what he said,

82
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 8: but something in the lines of the backups needing more

83
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 8: practice time, yeah, and feeling comfortable, which is that was

84
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 8: That's just my initial assumption with any backups, you're getting

85
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 8: quote unquote the amount, type, or quantity of reps that

86
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 8: you would need in case you have to go into

87
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 8: a game, but as far as and I doubt it's

88
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 8: this week because a lot of those injuries are on standby,

89
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 8: but moving forward, once they become healthy and you got

90
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 8: the starters again, in case a scenario like this happens again,

91
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 8: like how do you manage like how do you split

92
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 8: the the reps in practice and to give everybody the

93
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 8: amount rep?

94
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 3: Okay, this is this is what happened. And I think

95
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 3: I think McCarthy got caught short on all the injuries

96
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: happened late in the week, So now he's thinking, Okay,

97
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 3: well I'm gonna have my guys to do this, and

98
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 3: all of a sudden it's like, oh wait, you know

99
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: Martin's out, us out. Now he's compromised. Now his game

100
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: plans compromised. Now he's thinking like, well, damn, I didn't

101
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 3: get the other guys ready. What happens when you watch

102
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 3: practice is they'll have it's broken down to where they'll

103
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 3: have a red zone period. Offense gets eight snaps in

104
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 3: the red zone. Defense gets eight snaps in the red zone,

105
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 3: and they kind of work with each other the practice there.

106
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 3: The problem with that is usually when the starters are

107
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 3: involved with the eight snaps in the red zone, it's

108
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 3: seven and one. McCarthy's probably now to a point like, listen,

109
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 3: I can't do seven and one. I have to think

110
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 3: about five and three, four and four. You know, with

111
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 3: the way his offensive line is and the way they've

112
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 3: had problems with it, it's kind of a wake up

113
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: call for all his positions. You know, we need to

114
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 3: have more guys ready. It's amazing how this team has

115
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,799
Speaker 3: had to deal already with injuries late in the week,

116
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 3: and he's like, well, if this is going to be

117
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: the trend for us right now, I could do something

118
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: about it the way I give these guys reps. And

119
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 3: so that's where I think he's going. If there's eight

120
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: plays are gonna run, you're gonna see a five and

121
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 3: a three or four and a four. It's not gonna

122
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 3: be seven and one anymore.

123
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 7: And there's also a transaction that kind of hints at

124
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 7: what Brian is saying. As far as Beatish is concerned.

125
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 7: I mean, you depends on how you want to read

126
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 7: the tea leaves. But the Cowboys signed center Billy Price

127
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 7: to the practice squad this morning, and when you look

128
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 7: at Price, Price was well decorated coming out of Ohio.

129
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: State first round pick. Yeah, first round pick.

130
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 7: He also earned PFWA All Rookie Team honors in his

131
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 7: first year twenty eighteen, I believe. So you know some

132
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 7: definitely some veteran talent coming to the practice squad. Okay,

133
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 7: so that begs. So now then the question the available,

134
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 7: Like I said, it depends on how you read the

135
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 7: tea leaves because on one note, you can say, well,

136
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 7: why is he still available? Obviously there's probably some some

137
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 7: struggles there and he's not one of the premier obviously

138
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 7: offensive linemen that are still that you know, hit the

139
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 7: free agency market this offseason. Otherwise he's not available to

140
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 7: be picked up in late September. But then the other

141
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 7: side of that is you're adding a veteran IQ to

142
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 7: that backup offensive line situation, whereas you have a ton

143
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 7: of youth who've mostly played well when thrown into the fire,

144
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 7: but at the same time they could stand to learn,

145
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 7: you know, from a guy like Billy Price. But then

146
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 7: the other side of that three side, the other side

147
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 7: of that is what does this mean anything for Tomer

148
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 7: b Beatish's potential availability against the Patriots? Because you also

149
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 7: have the brock Hoffman equations. Because Hoffman has been now

150
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 7: elevated three times, so there's also that could just be

151
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 7: transaction to transactions. So you know, again, we'll see how

152
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 7: it goes. But I'm also with Amber when it comes

153
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 7: to these late week injuries. We're having this conversation on Wednesday.

154
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 7: I don't like Thursdays anymore. So you know, let's I'm

155
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 7: not going to dig into any optimism or anything like

156
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 7: that until we have Friday morning show and I see

157
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 7: that there was not some.

158
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: Mystical Thursday injury that largely.

159
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 8: Impact with Zach retiring with Saturday, well, but even with

160
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 8: Zach all week in practice, but we still we're hearing, oh.

161
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 3: No, he's on our show on one O five three

162
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 3: the Fan on Thursdays and everything's good exactly. Yeah, and

163
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: everything's good, and everything's fine, and so you honestly, you

164
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: don't know until you guys get on the plane Saturday

165
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 3: or they practice on and that and that's and and

166
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 3: I just think that this is a this is a

167
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: this is a difficult trend. You know, this has happened.

168
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 3: Now we're before the season and now you've had to

169
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: deal with late week injuries, and I don't I don't

170
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 3: think it's anything McCarthy's doing practice wise. Heck, he gives

171
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: him Fridays off. You know, he really doesn't practice. I

172
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 3: mean he does a walkthrough on Saturday. So yeah, there

173
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 3: are things that he he likes to go out there

174
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 3: and practice pads and they're outside today. It's a warm day,

175
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 3: so you know he's into that kind of stuff. But man,

176
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 3: I mean, you got to practice. You know, if you're

177
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 3: stepping on other guy trying to get a ball, and

178
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 3: you're stepping on a guy's foot, you know that caused

179
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 3: you your ankle to be bad or blot your knee.

180
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 3: Is that on mccarth football.

181
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 5: There's injuries built into the game.

182
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: But there's things he could do to help his backup guys.

183
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 3: I don't like giving them more work.

184
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 7: I don't want Ambar mad at me anymore. That's the

185
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 7: bottom line. But real quick, McCarthy, whose press conference is

186
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 7: running concurrent with what we're doing right now, just got

187
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 7: an update that Tyler I'm sorry. Yeah, Tyler Baddish, Tyrone Smith,

188
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 7: and Zach Martin will all start with the rehab group today.

189
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 7: Cowboys will see how they feel after that. Maybe they

190
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 7: get some limited reps, maybe not. I don't think that

191
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 7: they would on Wednesday. I think tomorrow will be you know,

192
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 7: potential ramp up.

193
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: I see the look on your face. Oh sorry, yeah,

194
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: that came out. That was written all over your sorry.

195
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 7: So so expect those three to be in the rehab

196
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 7: group on Wednesday, and again we'll see what things look

197
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 7: like on Thursday.

198
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: And if they come out clean and better on Thursday.

199
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 8: I will say this, it's impressive to me. Yes, there's

200
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 8: work to be done, but like you mentioned earlier, the

201
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 8: game wasn't lost because of the O line and the

202
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 8: backups and what they did. They were still able to

203
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 8: manage it. It affected how McCarthy called the place and

204
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 8: all that, but all in all, talent wise, we've seen

205
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 8: it years before when you only got one guy out

206
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 8: usually tyrons, and that was it you If you were screwed,

207
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 8: that's you know, that's going to be a terrible game.

208
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 8: But the crazy part, or the impressive part, I should say,

209
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 8: with this coaching staff, despite all these changes, all these moves,

210
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 8: they're still surviving and making it work. So we've come

211
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 8: a long way from back in the day. And you

212
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 8: lose one guy, you lose one guy, Atlanta.

213
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 5: Port real quick before we go to break I would

214
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 5: like to get an assessment of what you guys thought

215
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 5: of brock Kaufman, particularly in this game. And I want

216
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 5: to talk not not just from the standpoint of how

217
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 5: he played as a center, but also he's I assume

218
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 5: he was still responsible maybe for making the call, absolutely,

219
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 5: but but what did you see there? Do you see

220
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 5: anything that stood out to you good or bad?

221
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 3: I think the thing with brock Hoffman is that he's

222
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 3: limited athletically, but he makes up for it in toughness.

223
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 3: I was worried about him them putting a guy right

224
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: on him the whole time and him having to make

225
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 3: calls and all that. You didn't see any massive breakdowns

226
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 3: in scheme when it came to the rush. Everything was

227
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 3: picked up. The one problem they had on fourth down

228
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: really felt like Dak. They let the furthest guy from

229
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 3: the ball go. That's Dak's man. Hey, Dak, we've got

230
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 3: everybody in front of us covered. You got to take

231
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: care of that guy. So I didn't see anything where

232
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 3: it was just you know, the twist stunts in front.

233
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 3: Usually guys have problems with, you know, to be able

234
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 3: to pass the stunts working with other guys. Didn't see

235
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 3: that at all. With this guy, you know, he is

236
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 3: limited to what he can do because Biondis can get

237
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 3: second level blocks and Hoffman's more. But kind of a

238
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 3: take the guy right at the line of scrimmage and

239
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 3: then make sure that's secure and then hope for the

240
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: best if he can get to the second level. But

241
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 3: his play was was There was some apprehension me about it,

242
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 3: but I think if you had to plug him back in,

243
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 3: he showed himself pretty well there.

244
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

245
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 7: I mean, of the pressures that were allowed by the

246
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 7: Cowboys on Sunday in Arizona, not a lot of those

247
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 7: pressures came up the middle. Not a lot of those

248
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 7: pressures were allowed by Hoffman the backup center. So I

249
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 7: mean that's my clean assessment of him. I mean, could

250
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 7: he have been cleaner and some of his reps absolutely

251
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 7: could have. I mean you also look at his age

252
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 7: and him being thrown into the fire. But all things considered,

253
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 7: I was right there with Brian. I mean, you're lining

254
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 7: up nose to nose with you know, a guy who

255
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 7: has many more reps in the NFL than you. You

256
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 7: would think that Hoffman probably would get blown off the

257
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 7: ball at the time or two. I didn't see any

258
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 7: reps where he absolutely got decimated at all.

259
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean it was an impressive out of

260
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: for that look.

261
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 3: With a running game hit too. There were some plays

262
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: that went inside the tackle box there that he was

263
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 3: able to. You know, those guys did a nice job inside.

264
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 3: It's a shame though that they get a sack because

265
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 3: of the waggle, the boot, the naked you know, they

266
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 3: don't get Savior Collins coming down. That's a sack. And

267
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 3: then the other one was a dooga. They're trying to

268
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 3: double move. So the two sacks that were giving up

269
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 3: in that game were really kind of you know, hey,

270
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 3: we're gonna try and tricky over here. It didn't work.

271
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 3: We're gonna try double move over here. Your tackle, you know,

272
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 3: struggles a little bit, and then then your guard struggles

273
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 3: a little bit. But other than that, they were pretty

274
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 3: clean the way they played.

275
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, we're gonna take our first break when

276
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 5: we come back. We were going to jump into the

281

Speaker 9: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

282
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 9: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

283
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 9: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

284

Speaker 9: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

285
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 9: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

286
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,480

312

Speaker 9: the souldier to cry out?

313
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 4: Okay, this one's easy, I say, give her a delicious

314
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 4: Doctor Pepper. Nothing says thanks good better than one of

315
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 4: a kind soda. Yes, any Doctor Pepper flavor will do. Now,

316
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 4: just a reminder that I don't need to be a

317
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 4: real doctor to know that Doctor Pepper is the one

318
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 4: you deserve.

Speaker 5: brought to you by blockchain dot Com. All right, here

336
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 5: we go. Let's start first where we start every week

337
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 5: on a Wednesday. I want you guys to go around

338
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 5: the table. Give me your biggest storyline for the Cowboys

339
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 5: heading into Week four of the NFL season. Brian, let's

340
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 5: start with.

341
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 3: You, Bill Belichick against Mike McCarthy, defensive guru versus play caller.

342
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 3: That's back in the mix. So that's my storyline this week.

343
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 3: Can the Cowboys find a way to kind of put

344
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 3: together a really nice game plan to combat a defense

345
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 3: that's probably gonna throw a lot of different looks at you.

346
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: And that's the great thing about playing Belichick. He's always

347
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 3: going to have something for you that you didn't see before.

348
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 3: Can Mike McCarthy and the staff figure it out move

349
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 3: the football this week?

350
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 2: Yeah?

351
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, same same concern or storyline offensively as it's been

352
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 8: since pretty much Week one after week one, but now

353
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 8: it's mhanced to another level. I'm not concerned defensively.

354
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 3: We we did.

355
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 8: See how they were able to adjust in the second

356
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 8: half against the Cardinals, so I trust what Dan Quinn

357
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 8: and everybody else can do defensively. But on offense, it's

358
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 8: hard to say. I want to see it clicking because

359
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 8: I think I'm still unsure that we'll have every single

360
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 8: piece of starters out there. It's that's a hard one.

361
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 8: That's gonna be tough.

362
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 5: Here's our injury guys.

363
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 8: Uh No, But hopefully we can if I can see

364
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 8: some improvement at least like creatively, if McCarthy can just

365
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 8: kind of change the playbooks a little bit, play more

366
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 8: with a lot more confidence, and be a little bit

367
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 8: more creative, that's I think the storyline for me what

368
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 8: I'm looking for this week.

369
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 7: For me, and again consistency in the run defense. You

370
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 7: did it two out of three times. But here we go.

371
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 7: Ezekiel ellis homecoming and a combo between him and Ramandre Stevenson.

372
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 7: Stevenson is is a player, he's a gamer. So can

373
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 7: this Cowboys run defense bounce back from an atrocious game

374
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 7: where they allowed over one hundred and forty yards in

375
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 7: the first half against the Cardinals in a quality backfield.

376
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 7: And then, of course you have the emotional component of

377
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 7: Ezekiel Elliott and he's you know, Jerry didn't want to

378
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 7: spoil it today in one oh five three the Fan,

379
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 7: But there is likely some type of honoring that's going

380
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 7: to happen for Ezekiel Elliott's ring.

381
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 3: Of honor already ahead of Jimmy Hey, why not?

382
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 2: So you never know.

383
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 7: So, I mean, there's gonna be that emotional component for

384
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 7: Ezekiel Elliott alongside his talent and ability to make plays,

385
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 7: particularly in the red zone. Stevenson he can do it all.

386
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 7: He's a home run hitter as well. So for me,

387
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 7: it's run defense. How can they bounce back or will

388
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 7: they bounce back? And what does that look like against

389
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 7: Ezekiel Elliott and his homecoming in Ramondre Steve.

390
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, good one, all right, what serious? Well, actually it's

391
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 5: the same thing of the running running defense, actually was

392
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 5: I was just looking this up. Do you guys think

393
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 5: the best running back duo they faced so far was

394
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 5: Week two against the Jets? Because Bresol and I was like,

395
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 5: that's the test, and they passed that test. I immediately thought, Okay,

396
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 5: they've solved this problem. And this is what also makes

397
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 5: me think they didn't maybe take this running game as

398
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 5: seriously as maybe they took the Jets running game. They

399
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 5: showed me they could do it against the Jets, and

400
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 5: I think the Jets have a better running game. The

401
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 5: fact that it didn't look like that this week makes

402
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 5: me think they didn't put the level of focus on

403
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 5: their running game of stopping their running game that they

404
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 5: did against the Jets. You guys agree with that, I.

405
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 3: Think the way I think you're to the point the thing,

406
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 3: I think that Arizona has a better scheme and the

407
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 3: way they run the ball, I think with the pin

408
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 3: and poll stuff, I don't know why more teams don't

409
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 3: try that. And when you get to Philadelphia, because I

410
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 3: was watching Philadelphia play New England, last night, You're going

411
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 3: to see a lot of the Penn and Poll stuff.

412
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 3: And I I think movement affects the Cowboys the way

413
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 3: they play run defense. I think it affects their eyes

414
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 3: when when they see something going one way, they're taught

415
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 3: get downhill as fast as you can. It be a

416
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 3: part of the play at the point of attack, and

417
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 3: then the ball will bend back and you're like going,

418
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 3: wait a minute, where's the backside help here? Where's the

419
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 3: discipline to play? So I think it was more of

420
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 3: a disciplined problem with Arizona. But the way that Arizona

421
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 3: scheme runs the ball, I think that's something if I'm

422
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 3: playing the Cowboys, I'm like, man, maybe we could steal

423
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 3: a couple of plays here, just trying to you know,

424
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 3: our alignment or not having to block these guys one

425
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 3: on one. We kind of can do some things to

426
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 3: make them take advantage of how aggressive they are trying

427
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 3: to get there.

428
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 5: Do you think also, because Dallas tends to do a

429
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 5: lot of slants and a lot of stunts, it also

430
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 5: when you know those pin and points, Yeah, it actually

431
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 5: runs them into bad situations, like they are rushing toward

432
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 5: being in a bad situation and can't recover.

433
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 3: We talked about the long run that they had when

434
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 3: they when they put more in the backfield the receiver.

435
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 3: What happened, Sam Williams is like flying up the field

436
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, then you're not set up front,

437
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 3: and now you're there's there's like there's hesitation up front.

438
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 3: Sam's already up and now you get the guard on

439
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 3: the Mike linebacker. There's nobody there. They're playing too deep

440
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: you know, I mean too deep coverage, not too deep there,

441
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 3: but literally there's nobody sitting right there. So I I, yeah,

442
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 3: I think that it's to me if that's the one

443
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 3: thing about guys like when you would Tank you appreciate

444
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 3: about him playing the run game. Tank is not going

445
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 3: to let you fool him. You know, he's going to

446
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 3: stay like if the ball's going inside, he's going to

447
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 3: be able to position where he can make the play

448
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 3: where he could you know, he could work back in.

449
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 3: He's not four steps up the field and then trying

450
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 3: to redirect to get back as the ball's gone. He's

451
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 3: going to play the scheme. He knows he knows how

452
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 3: to read a scheme, but he knows how to close

453
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,719
Speaker 3: down and then when he has to make a play

454
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 3: or he's chasing from the back side, he knows how

455
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 3: to stay flat and then go get the ball. But

456
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 3: he sometimes you have to have a feel of how

457
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 3: you're supposed to play run defense as opposed and knowing

458
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 3: where your fits are, knowing where the guys around your

459
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 3: need to be as well.

460
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 7: You can believe Bill Belichick will look at that Arizona

461
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 7: Cardinals for sure, borrow what works.

462
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 2: I'll try to integrate that into everybody else.

463
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 5: That's no doubt everybody's.

464
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 3: Philadelphia plays that way. Philadelphia will test you that.

465
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 5: That's the NFL. All right, So here's what we're gonna do.

466
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 5: Let's jump into the Cowboys offense for the versus the

467
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 5: Patriots defense real quick, Brian, before you jump into that,

468
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 5: I just want to lay some numbers out there for

469
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 5: for our listeners. The Patriots defense right now, very good defense.

470
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 5: First of all, they are fifth in yards allowed, only

471
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 5: giving up two hundred and seventy yards per game. They

472
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 5: are fifth in past yards allowed, only giving up one

473
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 5: hundred and seventy seven yards per game. Through the year,

474
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 5: they are ninth and rush yards per attempt, only giving

475
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 5: up three point six per rush and ninth in points allowed,

476
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 5: only giving up twenty points per game. Brian, tell me

477
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 5: why they're so good.

478
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is gonna be an odd front again for you.

479
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 3: It's a three man line. They could adjust the front

480
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 3: do to their linebackers' ability to play along the line

481
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 3: of scrimmage. The majority of their coverages have been Cover three,

482
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 3: which is a zone coverage that they use. They'll play

483
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 3: Cover one, which is a man coverage. We'll get into

484
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 3: that a little bit. Cover two we always talk about

485
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 3: it's a safety to two safety split, so we're going

486
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 3: to see a little maybe too deep. These are the

487
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 3: top three coverages that they'll want run. The zone coverage,

488
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 3: the man coverage, and then that too deep look right there.

489
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 3: They did play what we call Cover six, which is

490
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 3: against the Dolphins. It's kind of a combo of the

491
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 3: two and the four. That's how you get the six.

492
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: It splits the field in half and it's a good

493
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 3: blend of zone and man. So they're kind of trying

494
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 3: to show you one thing, but it's really on the

495
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 3: other side they're playing another. So you're kind of like, oh,

496
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 3: wait a minute, this looks like a cover too. No, wait,

497
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 3: it's they're playing zone. Oh they're actually playing man over here.

498
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 3: It's really good when it helps you defend the run,

499
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 3: you know, because there's but against like a short passing

500
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 3: game like the Cowboys have, it's kind of a coverage

501
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 3: could get them in trouble. They did it against the Dolphins,

502
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 3: didn't do it against the Eagles, or didn't do it

503
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 3: against the Jets. So there was something that they were

504
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 3: worried about in the Dolphins game that allowed them to say, Okay,

505
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 3: we got to play a little bit of this mix

506
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 3: of man and zone right there. It's the defensive line

507
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 3: you mentioned it. It's not one of these really household

508
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 3: names of guys, you know. It's Goutshaw who he hurt

509
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 3: his ankle. He's a defensive tackle, Devid Goushaw. He heard

510
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,719
Speaker 3: his ankle in the Jets game. He was knocked out

511
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 3: of the game. It'll be interested to see if he

512
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: could play this week. Lawrence guy's a good player for

513
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 3: them up front. Big guy Christian Barmore is another guy.

514
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 3: Barmore had four pressures four quarterback hits in that Dolphins game.

515
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 3: So there's a defensive tackle that can win inside and

516
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 3: then get pressure on your quarterback. So I think you

517
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 3: need to kind of account for him in that area. Well.

518
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 3: Dietrich Wise is a long, rangy veteran, kind of an

519
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 3: edge player. He's a better one player than he is passed.

520
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 3: So if you're running the ball to one side, maybe

521
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 3: you want to run it away from Dietrich Wise. He's

522
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 3: a little bit one of those guys that kind of

523
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 3: has a feel for how to play. The linebackers are

524
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 3: the heart of this defense, and it starts with Matthew

525
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 3: Jerdon Jerdn. He's listed as a linebacker. He's kind of

526
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 3: more of an edge but he's very similar to what

527
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 3: they do with Micah Parsons, and he's gonna move around

528
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 3: all over the place. They're gonna find the best possible

529
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 3: matchup for him. You'll see him rushing from all those

530
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 3: different spots. He can attack the edge, he can win

531
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 3: against blocks. He's got some power to his game. He

532
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 3: could be a little slippery in the way he plays,

533
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 3: and they put him inside, he can kind of like

534
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 3: go and then avoid and then get in on the play.

535
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: They're gonna need to account for him on a lot

536
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 3: of different fronts when he's lined up again. He's like

537
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 3: Micah in the way they move him around. They did.

538
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 3: He did a great job in that Dolphins game I

539
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 3: mentioned two sacks, two quarterback hits. Josh Ucci is another

540
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 3: player that is a linebacker, very explosive. He has the

541
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 3: ability to get up the field in a hurry. Like Jordan,

542
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 3: he could be really disruptive in the way he goes

543
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 3: about lining up all over the field. He gets the

544
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 3: blocker on his first step. He causes problems in that way.

545
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 3: So he's a guy that got a couple of guys

546
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 3: that can rush the passer. Juwan Bentley is the veteran linebacker.

547
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 3: He's the thumper, He's the big guy. He's the guy

548
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 3: that plays with some pop. He's a downhill player. He's

549
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 3: always attacking the line of scrimmage. He's always got to

550
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 3: be careful about him. He could read it, shoot the

551
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 3: gap and then make a tackle for loss. So physical,

552
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 3: you know, be ready if you not just go up

553
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 3: and try and just bump him. This guy's going to

554
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 3: try and run over you in that regard. So does

555
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 3: a good job of finishing when he gets in position.

556
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 3: The Patriots secondary is an interesting one because they got

557
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 3: a star in the making with a rookie Christian Gonzalez,

558
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 3: who was from Oregon. Actually he's a local kid. I

559
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 3: think he's from Hebron High School over here. But he's

560
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 3: a tech. His kid starting Colorado and then went to Oregon,

561
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 3: and but he is a The Patriots are the staff

562
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 3: as they've put him in some seriously high leverage spots

563
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 3: when it comes to coverage with this. In the Jets game,

564
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 3: he shadowed Garrett Wilson sixty percent of the game. He

565
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 3: played press man coverage and Nam forty three percent of

566
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 3: the time in those games. So there you go, right there,

567
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 3: big time coverage to rekill the week before, he shadowed

568
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 3: him sixty percent of the time of the game twenty

569
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 3: nine percent press man coverage in those games. The Eagles

570
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,719
Speaker 3: went after him. In the first game, they targeted him

571
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 3: twelve times. They had eight receptions ninety for ninety nine yards.

572
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 3: I would expect that Gonzalez is going to travel with

573
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,959
Speaker 3: Ceedee Lamb in this matchup. You'll see it. I mean,

574
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 3: that's it's it's clear. They just said, okay, you go

575
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 3: with him, and you know what, it doesn't matter if

576
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 3: Lamb goes in the slot, Gonzales will go in the

577
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 3: slot with it. So it's not just like, oh wait,

578
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 3: we can get him off him if we put Lamb

579
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 3: in the slot. No, Gonzales will go down inside and

580
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 3: play there. So this guy's a sticky, relentless cover man.

581
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 3: He's got movement, he's got elite ball skills, really really

582
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 3: good player. Miles Bryant plays on the other side, opposite.

583
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 3: He's gonna flip when they travel, and he'll also kick

584
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 3: inside in the slot when the Patriots go nickel. He

585
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 3: defends the ball well. He puts himself in good position

586
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 3: to make plays. Movement, redirection skills are solid with this guy.

587
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 3: You got to be aware of him blitzing off the slot.

588
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 3: Sometimes they'll play him tight and then all of a sudden,

589
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 3: it's a slot blitz. That's how they get some they

590
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 3: get some additional pressure that way. Their safeties are Kyle Dugger,

591
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 3: I think is better than what Jabrill Peppers is. Dugger

592
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 3: is better of the two. Like I said, the staff

593
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 3: uses him in a unique way. He'll play deep like

594
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 3: half the time, he'll play down in the box a

595
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 3: quarter of the time, and then sometimes you'll see him

596
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 3: actually go in the slot and play. So they feel

597
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 3: like that he could cover in a lot of different ways.

598
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 3: Before he was they didn't use him that This is

599
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 3: kind of new for how they've used him, and you'll

600
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 3: occasionally get him on the blitz. So that's you know,

601
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 3: Jabrill Peppers, I mentioned him. He's a veteran player. He's

602
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 3: got a number of tackles, but you'll also see times

603
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 3: where he misses tackles. He'll be in space and all

604
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 3: of a sudden, the balls come in to the edge

605
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 3: and he's trying to wrap up and he gets knocked

606
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 3: off and then he's on the ground. That's happened to

607
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 3: him a couple of different times. So, but he's the

608
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 3: one guy that they like to bring on the blitz.

609
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 3: I mentioned about Kyle Duggart coming, but Peppers is the

610
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 3: guy that they'll rush generally opposite though they'll try to

611
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 3: stunt and then they'll bring him off the edge. So

612
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 3: it's a good defense. It doesn't have a lot of

613
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 3: household names, but the one you need to know about

614
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 3: is Christian Gonzales, the corner from Oregon. He is a

615
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 3: very very talented player that again they use in a

616
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 3: lot of those high leverage situations.

617
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 7: No, I was gonna say, it's a defense that as

618
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 7: great as they are, the weakness there is they don't

619
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 7: excel at taking the ball away. They don't take the

620
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 7: ball that we will. They have only two takeaways over

621
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 7: the first three weeks. One is a Christian Gonzales interception.

622
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 7: Unthough there's the fumble recovery against Jalen Hurts to open

623
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 7: the season. So they are good at all three levels.

624
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 7: Like Brian said, linebacker corps very good, most certainly the

625
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 7: heart of that. But they also are still without Jonathan Jones.

626
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 7: We'll see if Jonathan Jones, the cornerback, returns this week.

627
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 7: He's not played since Week one as he deals with

628
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 7: an ankle injury. So they're down one of their outside

629
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 7: starting corners there, so maybe a point of attack there,

630
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 7: particularly if you see that Belichick is deploying a strategy

631
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 7: that has Gonzales shading cd lamb. Okay, well, here's Brandon Cooks.

632
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 7: It's time for a big game, and this is where

633
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 7: you have optimism after. This is where you also have

634
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 7: optimism after seeing Michael Gallup come on strong against the Cardinals,

635
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 7: because now it seems like the Cowboys have figured out

636
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 7: what Gallup looks like in the Texas Coast offense, which

637
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 7: was a question that we had you know, last week

638
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 7: or a couple of episodes or so ago. So I

639
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 7: think that outside of Gonzales and I tweeted this after

640
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 7: that interception, Gonzales is as advertised, you are going to

641
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 7: have to be careful with targeting him. But if Jonathan

642
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 7: Jones is inactive, and then that brings up backups on

643
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 7: the outside, on the other outside, maybe you target them,

644
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 7: have Cooks line up against him and say beat them

645
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 7: to death, right, Michael Gallup, beat your guy to death.

646
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 7: So the secondary, like you talked about with Jabrill Peppers,

647
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 7: he'll take risks, it'll cause him to be over aggressive

648
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 7: in his tackling angles, he'll miss those tackles and ceedee.

649
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 7: Lamb has some some real history with Jalen Mills with

650
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 7: the Wave. You remember that, Yeah, right, So, I mean

651
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 7: you know he can Jalen Mills can be had as well.

652
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: He got fined fined something.

653
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 5: Because it was at the end of the Yeah.

654
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, So the point of attack the Cowboys offense, hopefully

655
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 7: they have you know, if they're not holding on the

656
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 7: offensive line, hopefully they have at least two of those

657
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 7: guys back, which would be Zach and Tiring is what

658
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 7: it looks like, right, now because you're going to have

659
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 7: a challenge with that defensive front, but you can attack

660
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 7: the secondary anyone not named Christian Gonzales.

661
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 5: How is Gonzalez in the slot because obviously if you're

662
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 5: gonna if he's gonna travel with with CDs, he's gonna

663
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:05,479
Speaker 5: be in the spot a lot.

664
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 3: The ball didn't go his way. I mean, that's it.

665
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 3: They bring Tarik Hill down there in the slot, and

666
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 3: that's where he was, and he's able to stay with

667
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 3: him the move.

668
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 5: He's stay, he stay, He'll go to the slot and

669
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 5: he'll play it well, he'll play it.

670
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 3: He'll absolutely he's just a really good defender. Yeah, he's

671
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 3: comfortable playing it. Any spots you can't run away from him, you.

672
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 2: Can't get away long and his stride.

673
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 3: This is the fun thing, though, if you go back

674
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 3: and I looked at something because of the next gen

675
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 3: opportunity that we have here in our building. I love

676
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 3: this because I went back and looked at Dak Prescott

677
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 3: and how when they played the Patriots, and that's just

678
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 3: one of Dak's best games I think he's ever played.

679
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 3: He was thirty six of fifty one for four hundred

680
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 3: and forty five yards. The overtime game. Remember he hurt

681
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 3: the calf on the last play. I was curious about

682
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 3: how they played him, how they played coverage against him,

683
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 3: just to see if Belichick's like, listen, we can't do this.

684
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 3: This guy killed us in this area they had. He

685
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 3: dealt with nineteen pressures in this game, no sacks. They

686
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 3: played fifty five percent man coverage in the game. Dak

687
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 3: was seventeen of twenty eight for one to ninety three,

688
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 3: three touchdowns in the game, had the lone interception there

689
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 3: forty five percent zone coverage. He was nineteen of twenty

690
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 3: three for two point fifty two. He played Cover one

691
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 3: against him. That's that single high look. They played Cover

692
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 3: three with him, which is we talked about is kind

693
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 3: of a zone coverage area. They played Cover two only

694
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 3: twelve percent of time. They played this Cover zero, which

695
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 3: was no safety help man all the way across the board.

696
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 3: Prescott had three touchdowns in that game when he played

697
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 3: against and then only played the coverage ten percent of

698
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 3: the time. Dak played it perfectly in that game. No

699
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 3: safety help, no help in the middle of the field,

700
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 3: true man to man defense. It's designed to get a

701
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 3: lot of pressure. They didn't get the pressure, they didn't

702
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 3: get the sacks and Dak ate them alives Belichicks might

703
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 3: look back at that game in life, Hm, maybe we

704
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 3: don't want to do this to this guy in this

705
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 3: protect time. One of the best games that Dak's played

706
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 3: in his career.

707
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 5: Traditionally, when you see cover zero, that means there's also

708
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 5: blitzing going on. Yeah, and one thing we know about

709
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 5: Dak is traditionally Dak is really good against the blitz.

710
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 5: He usually plays really good against the blitz. So that

711
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 5: doesn't shock me. I hope they bring the blitz. You

712
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 5: actually want them to bring the blitz against this quarterback

713
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 5: because I think he's really good in those situations. All Right,

714
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 5: we're going to take our final break. We will come

715
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 5: back and we'll talk a little bit. I want to

716
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 5: talk a little bit about Zeke Elliott and what he

717
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 5: meant to this offense last year and if the Cowboys

718
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 5: may in some respects miss him this season with the

719
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 5: issues that they're having in gold to gold situations and

720
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 5: in short yardage situation. We'll be back Dallas Cowboys dot Com.

721
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 9: Radyo Todd thought it would be secure to jog in

722
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 9: the cheatah. Savannah Todd believed the big Cat repellent he

723
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 9: bought online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to

724
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 9: be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles

725
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 9: per hover. But the good news is Todd has AT

726

Speaker 9: and T five G. It is fast, reliable and secure,

727
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 9: and he learned the best thing to do is stop

728
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 9: running and toss her the backpack with the beef stew

729

00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,959

772
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 3: pork and ribs smoking at Miller Lighthouse when some of

773
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 3: the biggest names in barbecue come together at Q Barbecue Fest.

00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 5: I'm such a well.

777
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 3: At and T Stadium. I'm sorry, and the Cowboys.

778
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 5: I'm such a food because as you're reading that, I'm just.

779
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 3: Like, man, that was a terrible reading.

780
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 5: Man, God, I wish all right, let's jump back in.

781
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 5: Let's talk a little bit about Zeke Elliott. He will

782
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 5: be returning this week with the New England Patriots. It

783
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,439
Speaker 5: was a really I mean, you look at Zeke's career here,

784
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 5: I think cowboys got everything that they wanted out of him.

785
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 5: I think you can, you can question the contracts and

786
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 5: all that kind of stuff, but I think while he

787
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 5: was here, he was a very, very very productive running

788
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 5: back for them. But check out some of these numbers

789
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 5: I looked at. I looked up from the standpoint of

790
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 5: gold to go situations. Last year. There were thirteen times

791
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 5: when he got the ball in goal to go situations.

792
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 5: Eight of those times he was in the end zone

793
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 5: at a sixty two percent. It's way better than where

794
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 5: they are right now when they're in goal to go situations.

795
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,720
Speaker 5: He was only stuffed one time, which is another stat

796
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 5: you look at, was he hit behind the line scrimmage?

797
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 5: Tackle behind line scrimmage? He's only stuffed one time, but

798
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 5: eight of the thirteen times he ended up in the

799
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 5: end zone. That would have made him third in the

800
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 5: league behind Jamal Williams and Jalen hurtson what they do

801
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 5: in Philadelphia where they just basically push the Christian zone. Right,

802
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 5: that being said, does Dallas miss Ezequielae this year?

803
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a simple question or simple answer. Absolutely. We

804
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 8: talk about I mean everything that you just mentioned right now.

805
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 8: There's nothing else I need to point out other than

806
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,439
Speaker 8: what you said, the stats and everything that we've seen

807
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 8: in the red zone, I think that I don't know

808
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 8: the total amount of times, but I think they would

809
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 8: have been a lot more effective in the red zone

810
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 8: if Ezekiel Elliott was there as a running back. Now

811
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 8: that's not to say that the guys that they currently

812
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,479
Speaker 8: have are not doing a good job, because they are

813
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 8: in credit to them, but it's a totally different type

814
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 8: of running back, and I think that's why last year

815
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 8: it worked so well him with the combination of Tony

816
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 8: Poler and then finally being able to find the right

817
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 8: balance between the two and playing them to what their

818
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 8: strength are, because we know Zeke doesn't have the same

819
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 8: type of explosiveness anymore as a guy like Tony Poller

820
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 8: and being too able to make those cuts escape, but

821
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,919
Speaker 8: vice versa, like Tony doesn't have the same strength that

822
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 8: Zeke has. So I do think they miss him. I

823
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 8: still don't think going back and looking at it now,

824
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 8: it would change like you had to make that decision.

825
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 8: It's what I'm trying to say, like it had to

826
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 8: be that way, But they do miss a guy like Ezekulative.

827
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 8: But I think with the talent that they currently have,

828
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 8: if they start scheming things differently and coming up with

829
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 8: different plays, I still think that they can be more

830
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 8: effective and make it work with the guys that they

831
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 8: currently have. So at some point I don't think you

832
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,439
Speaker 8: would need a guy like Zeke if you change things up,

833
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 8: but currently, yes, it would be freaking nice to have.

834
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 7: I'll first say that, you know, I love Zeke to death,

835
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 7: and I was a proponent of keeping him on this team.

836
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 7: But given and it's a small sample size, it's only

837
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 7: three games, I think that what they missed from Ezekiel

838
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 7: Elliott is that comfort, that security blanket and knowing that

839
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 7: this is the situation goal to go, this is who

840
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 7: we're going to hand it off, and they haven't figured

841
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 7: out yet who that person will be. That's where I

842
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 7: think the issue is not necessarily that you missed Ezekiel

843
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 7: Elliott down there, but we talked about, for example, handing

844
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 7: it off to Peyton Hindershot instead of maybe giving it

845
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 7: to Hunter lip Key.

846
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 3: There's there's my who.

847
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 7: Has the power, who has the stature to give you

848
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 7: that short yardage. So when I start seeing that, if

849
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 7: I start seeing that, then I can say, Okay, well

850
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 7: what's the hunter, what's Hunter lip Key's effectiveness and success

851
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 7: rate with Gold and Gold in short yardage versus Ezekiel

852
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 7: Elliott's success rate, and then we could say, well, they

853
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 7: do or they do not miss Ezekiel Elliott. So for

854
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 7: me right now, I just think that they missed the

855
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 7: comfort of knowing that if you're in gold to gold,

856
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 7: if you're in short yardage, you just hand it to

857
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 7: the hammer. But the reality is they haven't established who

858
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 7: the hammer is, and I think it might and should

859
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:21,479
Speaker 7: be Hunter Lipke.

860
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is how much is your goal

861
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 3: line and that red zone package or a short yardage package?

862
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 3: Where is it worth? Fourteen fifteen sixteen million dollars a

863
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 3: year too?

864
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 2: That's really what it came down to.

865
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean all of a sudden, you know, and now, okay,

866
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 3: then you move on from him, and then you want

867
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 3: to resign him. Say well, okay, you resign him for

868
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 3: four million. Well he's already counting eight millions in dead money,

869
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 3: maybe more than that. So you're basically paying like twelve

870
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 3: million dollars to have Ezekiel e La back here. I

871
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 3: don't know why, And I think we're going to come

872
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 3: to this point where to me, they're going to hand

873
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 3: the ball to Hunter Lipkey. Hunter Lipkey is in to me.

874
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 3: I there are things about Key when they've talked about

875
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 3: him being a fullback that I'm like, I've never seen

876
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 3: this guy block. And there's times where he's been a

877
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 3: good blocker and there's other times where he's not been

878
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 3: as good. But the one thing you can't discredit Hunter

879
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 3: Lipky for is his toughness and carrying the football. Third

880
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 3: and one, nine yard run with a loaded box, He's

881
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 3: going to find a way to go forward. He's going

882
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 3: to find a way to knife through there, get a yard,

883
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 3: get two yards, get whatever he has to do. They could,

884
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 3: as Ambar says, they could scheme up things, but you

885
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 3: can also, like I say, just hand him to Dan

886
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 3: ball going straight ahead. He's proven to me just watching

887
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 3: him play, whether it's the game against the Raiders in

888
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 3: the postseason where not the postseason, but the preseason where

889
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 3: he had all those carries. He's his vision, His ability

890
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 3: to make things happen is impressive in his power, and

891
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 3: the power is impressive. You don't need to hand the

892
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,280
Speaker 3: ball to Ezekiel Elliott at four million dollars a year

893
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 3: when you got a guy that's very very capable of

894
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 3: doing the same thing. And I'm I think we're gonna

895
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 3: get to the point where Hunter Lipkey is going to

896
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 3: become that guy where they you put him in the

897
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 3: backfield just like the Eagles run the tush push. You know,

898
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 3: we're gonna You're gonna put Hunter Lypkey in the backfield

899
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 3: and he's gonna be the guy. That's That's where it's

900
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 3: gonna come to North Dakota State again. The state of

901
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,439
Speaker 3: North Dakota love you. Not happy with me a lot.

902
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 3: The state of California is another one that doesn't like

903
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 3: me very much, especially in the Bay Area. It's not

904
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:28,439
Speaker 3: a fan of mine.

905
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,760
Speaker 5: I agree with you guys. I don't think they're trusting

906
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 5: their power run game enough. You look at this last game.

907
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 5: There was one play it was it ended up in it.

908
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 5: I think it was a negative two yards, but basically

909
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 5: they decided they were going to take the left guard

910
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 5: and the left tackle and try to basically try to

911
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 5: pull them into the center rather than going forward, and

912
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 5: basically they left the defensive end unblocked. He runs nice

913
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 5: right in and tackles Polo for two yard loss, and

914
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 5: I'm like, that's just getting cute for no reason, like

915
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 5: you want to power ahead. You're in goal to go situations,

916
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 5: power the ball in. And I don't think they trust that.

917
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 5: They don't trust the backs, they don't trust the offensive line,

918
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 5: whatever is. They're not trusting enough in their ability to

919
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 5: just power the ball ahead.

920
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 3: And I want to see some of that, and let's.

921
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 5: See if you really miss Zeke Elliott or is a

922
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 5: situation where you don't trust these other factors right now,

923
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 5: and that's why the problems are existing.

924
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 3: I do remember a game last year, and I think

925
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 3: I've talked about it on air, where they tried to

926
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 3: hand the ball to Pollard on the goal line three

927
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 3: straight times and they got stopped all three and then

928
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 3: they said they brought Zeke in and it was fourth

929
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 3: down and there's a touchdown, right, you know that there's

930
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 3: something to that. There's something I think I just do.

931
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 3: I think Hunter Lukey has a feel for how to

932
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 3: find you one or two yards, you know, and and

933
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 3: it's just just give him the opportunity. He will make

934
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 3: do for you if you if you give him that opportunity.

935
