Welcome to the late's edition of The Break. 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:48.320 We're alive from that s WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:52.320 We're bringing the energy today. It'll be we will start 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:56.320 getting you guys ready for Cowboys versus Patriots, and we're 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:59.360 moving past all that negativity from last weekend. It's time 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.240 to move forward and we'll see where this goes. Hopefully, 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.120 hopefully the Cowboys learned their lesson last week was a 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:08.240 nice shot in the mouth, and hopefully they wake up 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:12.080 and get themselves back on track this week. Brian in 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:14.080 the show today is going to give us a good 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:18.560 overview of Cowboys offense for No Atriots defense. We're going 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.319 to talk a little bit about some things that went 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:22.800 right last weekend. We didn't really do that this week. 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:24.640 On Monday and Tuesday, we spent a lot of time 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:26.280 on what went wrong, but there were a couple of 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.319 things that were really good from the Cowboys standpoint in 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:33.000 that game. On Sunday, we'll detail some of those. And 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:37.560 let's start first though, with updates on where we are 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.479 from the standpoint of injuries. Patrick Walkers through what we're 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.640 what we're looking for this week, what we who are 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:44.160 the players that we need to keep an eye on 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:45.959 with regards to injuries. 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.720 Well, we're talking about first and foremost of three starting 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.360 offensive linemen Tyron Smith, Tyler Battish and Zach Martin. 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:53.680 Jerry Jones. 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.640 This morning, he was tight lipped about it on one 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.040 O five three FM The Fan. Mike McCarthy was tight 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.360 lipped about it in the press conference on you yesterday, 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:04.160 and I expect he will be again this morning. Which 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.160 waiting to see what happens. Today's gonna be the first 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.200 week of practice, a first day of practice, I'm sorry 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.960 for Week four against the Patriots. We'll see who's expected 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:14.120 to do what and who does what. But there's a 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.080 chance if you go back to what Stephen Jones told 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.120 one O five three FM The Fan a couple of 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.280 days ago, it is possible that the Cowboys see a 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:25.240 whole offensive line going in against the Patriots. He did 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.679 kind of give a caveat and saying, you know, let's 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.320 see how the week goes. Obviously that goes without saying, 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.800 but he did make that clear. But he did say, 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.840 quote unquote, there's a possibility. So I do expect that, 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:40.120 you know, multiple guys on that three man front we're 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.040 talking about Tyler, Tyron and and Zach will get some work, 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.200 maybe as early as today. But we'll see as far 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.760 as any other injuries, they're all in the same breath 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.440 right now. We're just waiting and see and but those 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.160 are the top three guys. Obviously, Donald came back last week, 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.040 and you know, he had his ups and downs. Make sense, 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.280 he hadn't played, you know, since he suffered the CAF 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.720 strain in early in training camp. But yeah, so offensive lineman, 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.560 we saw what happened when they were out. Offensive line 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:07.240 didn't lose the game, but it impacted McCarthy's play callings. 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.440 So hopefully those guys get back so we can see 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.519 this verticality with this Texas Coast offense. 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.880 Worry about Beyondish in this one, you know, because of 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:21.920 Patrick's right, we'll see. But we've also thought about with 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.560 Tyler Smith, if you're just playing the game of how 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.880 things have kind of worked, you know through three weeks 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:29.920 of the season, when it comes to these injuries and 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.239 it's a hamstring and it's this and that, and you're 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.920 just like, oh, it's minor, it's okay, it's you know, 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.000 we'll be fine here, Yeah, it will. But we've also 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:42.280 seen these guys miss two three games also, so I 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.240 would keep an eye on Beyondish this week and see 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:49.640 how much did he really practices like that Smith and Martin, 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:51.640 you know, those are the ones I think that are 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.400 probably further along than what Tyler Beyodish is. 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.480 So with one of the comments that have prompted this 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:04.520 whole injuriesuation, with McCarthy saying, I forgot exactly what he said, 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.640 but something in the lines of the backups needing more 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:11.880 practice time, yeah, and feeling comfortable, which is that was 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.560 That's just my initial assumption with any backups, you're getting 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.919 quote unquote the amount, type, or quantity of reps that 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.400 you would need in case you have to go into 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.840 a game, but as far as and I doubt it's 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.680 this week because a lot of those injuries are on standby, 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:31.320 but moving forward, once they become healthy and you got 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:35.520 the starters again, in case a scenario like this happens again, 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.839 like how do you manage like how do you split 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:42.080 the the reps in practice and to give everybody the 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:43.200 amount rep? 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.240 Okay, this is this is what happened. And I think 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:50.839 I think McCarthy got caught short on all the injuries 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.080 happened late in the week, So now he's thinking, Okay, 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:56.480 well I'm gonna have my guys to do this, and 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:58.720 all of a sudden it's like, oh wait, you know 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:03.200 Martin's out, us out. Now he's compromised. Now his game 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.520 plans compromised. Now he's thinking like, well, damn, I didn't 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.719 get the other guys ready. What happens when you watch 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:13.720 practice is they'll have it's broken down to where they'll 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:17.000 have a red zone period. Offense gets eight snaps in 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.599 the red zone. Defense gets eight snaps in the red zone, 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.040 and they kind of work with each other the practice there. 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.800 The problem with that is usually when the starters are 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.760 involved with the eight snaps in the red zone, it's 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.920 seven and one. McCarthy's probably now to a point like, listen, 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.560 I can't do seven and one. I have to think 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:38.479 about five and three, four and four. You know, with 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.840 the way his offensive line is and the way they've 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.680 had problems with it, it's kind of a wake up 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.520 call for all his positions. You know, we need to 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:50.720 have more guys ready. It's amazing how this team has 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:54.799 had to deal already with injuries late in the week, 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:57.080 and he's like, well, if this is going to be 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.880 the trend for us right now, I could do something 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.760 about it the way I give these guys reps. And 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.600 so that's where I think he's going. If there's eight 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.560 plays are gonna run, you're gonna see a five and 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.000 a three or four and a four. It's not gonna 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:12.159 be seven and one anymore. 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.719 And there's also a transaction that kind of hints at 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.039 what Brian is saying. As far as Beatish is concerned. 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.120 I mean, you depends on how you want to read 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:23.360 the tea leaves. But the Cowboys signed center Billy Price 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.880 to the practice squad this morning, and when you look 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.880 at Price, Price was well decorated coming out of Ohio. 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.360 State first round pick. Yeah, first round pick. 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:34.159 He also earned PFWA All Rookie Team honors in his 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.720 first year twenty eighteen, I believe. So you know some 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.960 definitely some veteran talent coming to the practice squad. Okay, 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.160 so that begs. So now then the question the available, 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:43.800 Like I said, it depends on how you read the 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.120 tea leaves because on one note, you can say, well, 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.800 why is he still available? Obviously there's probably some some 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:52.400 struggles there and he's not one of the premier obviously 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:54.599 offensive linemen that are still that you know, hit the 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.440 free agency market this offseason. Otherwise he's not available to 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.440 be picked up in late September. But then the other 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.839 side of that is you're adding a veteran IQ to 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.360 that backup offensive line situation, whereas you have a ton 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.320 of youth who've mostly played well when thrown into the fire, 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.520 but at the same time they could stand to learn, 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.120 you know, from a guy like Billy Price. But then 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.200 the other side of that three side, the other side 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.480 of that is what does this mean anything for Tomer 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:23.640 b Beatish's potential availability against the Patriots? Because you also 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.360 have the brock Hoffman equations. Because Hoffman has been now 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:30.080 elevated three times, so there's also that could just be 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.320 transaction to transactions. So you know, again, we'll see how 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.760 it goes. But I'm also with Amber when it comes 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.920 to these late week injuries. We're having this conversation on Wednesday. 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.160 I don't like Thursdays anymore. So you know, let's I'm 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.520 not going to dig into any optimism or anything like 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:48.160 that until we have Friday morning show and I see 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:49.280 that there was not some. 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:52.240 Mystical Thursday injury that largely. 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:56.720 Impact with Zach retiring with Saturday, well, but even with 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:03.280 Zach all week in practice, but we still we're hearing, oh. 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:06.000 No, he's on our show on one O five three 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:10.240 the Fan on Thursdays and everything's good exactly. Yeah, and 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.760 everything's good, and everything's fine, and so you honestly, you 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.320 don't know until you guys get on the plane Saturday 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.920 or they practice on and that and that's and and 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.880 I just think that this is a this is a 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.400 this is a difficult trend. You know, this has happened. 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.680 Now we're before the season and now you've had to 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.800 deal with late week injuries, and I don't I don't 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:37.240 think it's anything McCarthy's doing practice wise. Heck, he gives 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:40.400 him Fridays off. You know, he really doesn't practice. I 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:44.000 mean he does a walkthrough on Saturday. So yeah, there 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:45.640 are things that he he likes to go out there 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.640 and practice pads and they're outside today. It's a warm day, 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.120 so you know he's into that kind of stuff. But man, 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.520 I mean, you got to practice. You know, if you're 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:56.559 stepping on other guy trying to get a ball, and 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.400 you're stepping on a guy's foot, you know that caused 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.080 you your ankle to be bad or blot your knee. 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:04.080 Is that on mccarth football. 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.280 There's injuries built into the game. 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:11.360 But there's things he could do to help his backup guys. 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:13.199 I don't like giving them more work. 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:15.280 I don't want Ambar mad at me anymore. That's the 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.840 bottom line. But real quick, McCarthy, whose press conference is 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:20.840 running concurrent with what we're doing right now, just got 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.520 an update that Tyler I'm sorry. Yeah, Tyler Baddish, Tyrone Smith, 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.600 and Zach Martin will all start with the rehab group today. 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.120 Cowboys will see how they feel after that. Maybe they 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.120 get some limited reps, maybe not. I don't think that 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.520 they would on Wednesday. I think tomorrow will be you know, 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:35.360 potential ramp up. 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.760 I see the look on your face. Oh sorry, yeah, 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:39.880 that came out. That was written all over your sorry. 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.600 So so expect those three to be in the rehab 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.120 group on Wednesday, and again we'll see what things look 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:45.840 like on Thursday. 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.480 And if they come out clean and better on Thursday. 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:53.160 I will say this, it's impressive to me. Yes, there's 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:56.400 work to be done, but like you mentioned earlier, the 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.320 game wasn't lost because of the O line and the 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.520 backups and what they did. They were still able to 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.160 manage it. It affected how McCarthy called the place and 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:08.240 all that, but all in all, talent wise, we've seen 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:12.160 it years before when you only got one guy out 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:19.800 usually tyrons, and that was it you If you were screwed, 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.040 that's you know, that's going to be a terrible game. 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.960 But the crazy part, or the impressive part, I should say, 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:30.000 with this coaching staff, despite all these changes, all these moves, 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:35.120 they're still surviving and making it work. So we've come 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.240 a long way from back in the day. And you 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.560 lose one guy, you lose one guy, Atlanta. 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.840 Port real quick before we go to break I would 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:46.800 like to get an assessment of what you guys thought 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.120 of brock Kaufman, particularly in this game. And I want 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:51.800 to talk not not just from the standpoint of how 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.880 he played as a center, but also he's I assume 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.200 he was still responsible maybe for making the call, absolutely, 0:10:58.280 --> 0:10:59.679 but but what did you see there? Do you see 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:01.680 anything that stood out to you good or bad? 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.680 I think the thing with brock Hoffman is that he's 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:08.480 limited athletically, but he makes up for it in toughness. 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.320 I was worried about him them putting a guy right 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:13.240 on him the whole time and him having to make 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.679 calls and all that. You didn't see any massive breakdowns 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.880 in scheme when it came to the rush. Everything was 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.400 picked up. The one problem they had on fourth down 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.240 really felt like Dak. They let the furthest guy from 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.280 the ball go. That's Dak's man. Hey, Dak, we've got 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.240 everybody in front of us covered. You got to take 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.520 care of that guy. So I didn't see anything where 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.800 it was just you know, the twist stunts in front. 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.199 Usually guys have problems with, you know, to be able 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:40.160 to pass the stunts working with other guys. Didn't see 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.360 that at all. With this guy, you know, he is 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.480 limited to what he can do because Biondis can get 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:49.080 second level blocks and Hoffman's more. But kind of a 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.400 take the guy right at the line of scrimmage and 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.920 then make sure that's secure and then hope for the 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:55.800 best if he can get to the second level. But 0:11:56.360 --> 0:12:00.800 his play was was There was some apprehension me about it, 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.160 but I think if you had to plug him back in, 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.200 he showed himself pretty well there. 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:05.600 Yeah. 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.079 I mean, of the pressures that were allowed by the 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.719 Cowboys on Sunday in Arizona, not a lot of those 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:12.560 pressures came up the middle. Not a lot of those 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.960 pressures were allowed by Hoffman the backup center. So I 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:17.880 mean that's my clean assessment of him. I mean, could 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.160 he have been cleaner and some of his reps absolutely 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.000 could have. I mean you also look at his age 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.920 and him being thrown into the fire. But all things considered, 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:27.720 I was right there with Brian. I mean, you're lining 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.920 up nose to nose with you know, a guy who 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.319 has many more reps in the NFL than you. You 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:35.160 would think that Hoffman probably would get blown off the 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:36.840 ball at the time or two. I didn't see any 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.079 reps where he absolutely got decimated at all. 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:40.559 So yeah, I mean it was an impressive out of 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:41.240 for that look. 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.280 With a running game hit too. There were some plays 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.800 that went inside the tackle box there that he was 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.360 able to. You know, those guys did a nice job inside. 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.000 It's a shame though that they get a sack because 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.800 of the waggle, the boot, the naked you know, they 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:57.440 don't get Savior Collins coming down. That's a sack. And 0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:59.440 then the other one was a dooga. They're trying to 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.920 double move. So the two sacks that were giving up 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.720 in that game were really kind of you know, hey, 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.079 we're gonna try and tricky over here. It didn't work. 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.600 We're gonna try double move over here. Your tackle, you know, 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.000 struggles a little bit, and then then your guard struggles 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:14.679 a little bit. But other than that, they were pretty 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:15.720 clean the way they played. 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:17.840 Yeah, all right, we're gonna take our first break when 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.200 we come back. We were going to jump into the 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.160 storylines of the week and get into the Cowboys offense 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.720 versus Patriots defense. We'll be back Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:28.719 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.720 Cheetah Savannah Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.599 online was reliable.

This segment is 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:05.600 brought to you by blockchain dot Com. All right, here 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.280 we go. Let's start first where we start every week 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.360 on a Wednesday. I want you guys to go around 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.040 the table. Give me your biggest storyline for the Cowboys 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.560 heading into Week four of the NFL season. Brian, let's 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:16.880 start with. 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:23.680 You, Bill Belichick against Mike McCarthy, defensive guru versus play caller. 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.840 That's back in the mix. So that's my storyline this week. 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.200 Can the Cowboys find a way to kind of put 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:34.760 together a really nice game plan to combat a defense 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.320 that's probably gonna throw a lot of different looks at you. 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.880 And that's the great thing about playing Belichick. He's always 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.520 going to have something for you that you didn't see before. 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:45.920 Can Mike McCarthy and the staff figure it out move 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:46.800 the football this week? 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:47.120 Yeah? 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:53.680 Yeah, same same concern or storyline offensively as it's been 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:57.960 since pretty much Week one after week one, but now 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:02.440 it's mhanced to another level. I'm not concerned defensively. 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:03.600 We we did. 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:05.840 See how they were able to adjust in the second 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:11.240 half against the Cardinals, so I trust what Dan Quinn 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:15.040 and everybody else can do defensively. But on offense, it's 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.919 hard to say. I want to see it clicking because 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:21.800 I think I'm still unsure that we'll have every single 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:26.800 piece of starters out there. It's that's a hard one. 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:27.520 That's gonna be tough. 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:32.320 Here's our injury guys. 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.639 Uh No, But hopefully we can if I can see 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:40.960 some improvement at least like creatively, if McCarthy can just 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.560 kind of change the playbooks a little bit, play more 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.199 with a lot more confidence, and be a little bit 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.480 more creative, that's I think the storyline for me what 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:51.119 I'm looking for this week. 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:54.760 For me, and again consistency in the run defense. You 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:58.080 did it two out of three times. But here we go. 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:03.520 Ezekiel ellis homecoming and a combo between him and Ramandre Stevenson. 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.639 Stevenson is is a player, he's a gamer. So can 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:10.080 this Cowboys run defense bounce back from an atrocious game 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:12.040 where they allowed over one hundred and forty yards in 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:15.560 the first half against the Cardinals in a quality backfield. 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:18.240 And then, of course you have the emotional component of 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.960 Ezekiel Elliott and he's you know, Jerry didn't want to 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:23.000 spoil it today in one oh five three the Fan, 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.879 But there is likely some type of honoring that's going 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:27.600 to happen for Ezekiel Elliott's ring. 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:29.560 Of honor already ahead of Jimmy Hey, why not? 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:31.359 So you never know. 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:33.960 So, I mean, there's gonna be that emotional component for 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:38.160 Ezekiel Elliott alongside his talent and ability to make plays, 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:41.520 particularly in the red zone. Stevenson he can do it all. 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:43.919 He's a home run hitter as well. So for me, 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:46.640 it's run defense. How can they bounce back or will 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:48.720 they bounce back? And what does that look like against 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.280 Ezekiel Elliott and his homecoming in Ramondre Steve. 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:57.639 Yeah, good one, all right, what serious? Well, actually it's 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:00.240 the same thing of the running running defense, actually was 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.680 I was just looking this up. Do you guys think 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:05.919 the best running back duo they faced so far was 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:10.600 Week two against the Jets? Because Bresol and I was like, 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.960 that's the test, and they passed that test. I immediately thought, Okay, 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:18.000 they've solved this problem. And this is what also makes 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:22.200 me think they didn't maybe take this running game as 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:26.600 seriously as maybe they took the Jets running game. They 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:28.359 showed me they could do it against the Jets, and 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:30.639 I think the Jets have a better running game. The 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.720
