WEBVTT - Talkin' Cowboys: Must-Win Game? 0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:05.440 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:16.360 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This He's Talking Cowboys, 0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:20.520 screening live from the Dallas Cowboys worldwhowters at the Star 0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:31.319 in fris Jo, Satay, and now your hosts Isaiah stand Back, 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:37.680 heck My Harrison, Rob Phillips, and Kyle Yeoman's It's the 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:41.240 Thursday edition of Talking Cowboys as we get you set 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:45.520 for the Atlanta Falcons coming up this Sunday afternoon here 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:49.120 on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Welcome in, everybody. I'm live 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:52.760 from inside the SWBC Mortgage Studios. You can see it 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.400 back behind me, but we are virtual as always, or 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.800 at least as always this year. Rob Phillips, Isaiah stand 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.440 back in the Great heck Harrison as we break down 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:05.840 the great Yeah you got it, great, There you go, 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:11.360 the Great heck My Harrison breaking down this Atlanta defense 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:15.280 versus the Cowboys offense today where we're really going to 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.720 dive into how the Cowboys can look better on the 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:20.919 offensive side of the football. And I know that's something 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:24.400 that is really a big question mark amongst Cowboys Nation 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:28.039 right now. But Rob, the thing is with me is 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.199 I'm pretty happy right now because there's some reinforcements coming 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.119 on that defensive side for the Cowboys in the form 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:37.040 of Jordan Lewis, seemingly because he was a full participant 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:41.480 in practice yesterday and this is a cornerback room that 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.679 really needs some extra help. And the fact that he's 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:46.960 available for a game where you have to stop a 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:51.920 Julio Jones, a Russell Gage and Calvin Ridley. That's something 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.640 that sticks out to me because he's definitely one of 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:56.560 those guys who can make a play on the football. 0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:01.440 Rob Yeah, for sure. I think we talked about the 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:05.480 how dangerous this Falcon's receiving core is and I got 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.480 I kind of got yelled at in my Twitter mentions 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.359 yesterday because I was like, hey, the injury report looks 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.480 pretty clean. Only Jordan Lewis is the only guy on 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.919 it and he had a full practice And everybody's like, yeah, 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.760 but they've got like eighteen guys on IR and you're right, 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.040 they do. But that is, uh, that is encouraging to 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.440 have Lewis full practice. That's a great sign for Sunday. 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.840 I'm not sure exactly how that might affect the rotation, 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.639 because you know, Anthony Brown was kind of in that 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.160 nickel roll last week, and that's kind of been the 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.640 battle between those two guys for a couple of years 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.359 now who takes over the slot. But Lewis certainly could 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.079 do it when he's when he's healthy. And I think 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.520 he will be healthy because I think he got his 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.200 boot off. He had that ankle injury. He had the 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.760 boot off I think before week one, so I think 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.000 he's been he's been pouring towards full practice for a 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:52.919 while now. Yeah, that's absolutely great news to hear that 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:58.480 Jay Lewis is back. And obviously, prior to training camp 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:02.040 and even before all this ovid, we knew that a 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.799 Woozier and Lewis had to have a lights out camp 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.480 and it sounds like both of these guys during training 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.560 camp they did that. Very unfortunate for the High Eicle 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.840 spray for Jordan Lewis, but really fortunate for us. We 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.600 get him back at in a week that's really important, 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:22.120 and especially with the firepower that Atlanta has. So I'm 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:26.160 looking at Jordan Lewis to make some big plays this Sunday. Yeah, man, 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.240 it fellas. I just like his I like his energy, right, 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.360 I like Jordan Lewis's energy. I like it. I like 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:32.840 how tenacious he is. I think that's something that's going 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.560 to be needed this weekend against this onslaught of receivers 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.200 that obviously are coming to town. So kudos. I'm glad 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.640 he's back. Go ahead and throw them into the rotation. 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.080 There's a lot of guys back there competing, and competition 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.640 ever a bad thing, It's not a bad thing. And 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:51.360 I think there's gonna be some competition against Julio Jones. 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.440 And I was just asked this question on the fan 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.520 with Sean and RJ just a moment ago, and I 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.400 was gonna actually bring it up to you guys, because 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:01.800 I'm struggling with this in terms of who who out 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.800 there do we put on these three receivers? Who do 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.840 you want matched up against the Julio Jones? Who do 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.000 you want matched up against the Calvin Ridley? And then 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.600 who's the third that ultimately has to go up against 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:16.080 Russell Gage. But I mean, when I look at it, 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.040 and this is my answer that I gave Sean and 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.560 r J, I said, why not throw treyvon Digs out 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.280 there on Julio Jones. There's a lot of reasons why not. Sure, 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.279 He's Julio Jones. Nobody's really gonna slow him down. But 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.200 I'm just saying that. That's when I'm looking at it. 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.719 He's the most athletic one we've got back there, and 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:37.240 he's also the longest corner we've got back there. Isaiah, 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.120 if you have a rebuttal, give it to me, because 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:45.280 I'm not confident in it. Um, you're a very mean 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:51.320 person because you want this. You want this rookie to 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.680 go out there and play against the best receiver the 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.640 NFL has to resist. Yes, by the way, who went again? 0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:59.760 Us a dog ar good defense last week? And he's 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:01.800 still put up one hundred and fifty yards? Are you 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.279 serious right now? Yeah? Yeah, No, I'm I'm one serious. 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:10.880 It's trial by fire. I'm still I really seriously a 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:12.960 heart attack. I hope you don't walk into Diggs in 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:14.360 the hallway because he's gonna be like, why would you 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:18.360 say that? Would you do to me? Well? Who else 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.520 you put on? Hope he doesn't say that. Come on, 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:23.640 come on, Isaiah, If you're gonna do that, you know 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.200 you gotta give days help over the top. He won't 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.400 be he won't be a one man army versus Julio that. 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.480 Come on, Yeah, you know you're gonna you're gonna give 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.840 him help over the top, but he's got to get 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:35.880 used to it one of these one way or another. 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.760 He's a guy, you got. There's there's trial by fire 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:44.080 and then there's just death. Okay, let's not throw him. 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.120 He just got here. Let's not send him on his 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.120 way already. Okay, we don't want to say, r ip Diggs. Already, 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.679 Julio Jones will have a complete field day. No disrespected, Diggs. 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:54.599 You made it to the league and you're gonna continue 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:56.560 to get better. You're a great player. But we're playing 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.880 against a great player, and not just a great player, 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.600 like the greatest receive that we have in the game today. 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:03.560 And I don't think that anybody can really dispeate that 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.800 right now. So let's not put him out there against Julio, 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:10.240 even with help, because we've seen Julio get guarded. Nobody 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.880 just goes man to man against Julio. He doesn't, right, 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:14.720 I don't. I don't think. I don't think that's what 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:18.839 we're talking about. Man. But with that right, Julio Jones 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:22.159 is still the best receiver and undoubtedly in this in 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.760 this league right now, and he never faces simply just 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.320 man to man coverage. So think about that. He always 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.680 has help over the top, and he's still it's Julio, 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.920 So yes, we might give me. Yes, Dixon, go out 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:39.720 there and do it. Agin It's just again, I'm just 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.440 I'm just saying, hey, I you know, I am a realist. 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.400 If anybody out here that's listening, y'all can come at 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.480 me all you want to, I am a realist. Okay, 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:50.120 don't do it. There's a great poet by the name 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:54.640 of Andre three thousand. He said, don't do it, reconsider, 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.960 don't do it. Suck love it. I love it. So wait, 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:03.000 you got Julio Bob Hopkins best receiver in the leagues? Yes, yeah, 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.280 I would approach you too, just because just because it 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.880 was like Megatron in his day, there's just nobody that 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.120 can match up with him now. To play Devil's advocate, 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.160 and I'm not agreeing with Kyle, but I'm just playing 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.920 that Cable's advocate here. Tyon Treybond Diggs is six two, 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:22.440 and he's drafted to be a guy that eventually, eventually 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.920 can maybe match up with some of those larger receivers 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:30.520 in the league. But yeah, we two today. Yeah, today, 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:32.880 that might be a Cheeto matchup for me, Thank you 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.360 very much. You put Cheeto on them, You put Cheeto 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.600 on them, and you give Cheeto help, just like you 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:39.360 give everybody else help, you know what I mean, Just 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.440 like everybody else gives help whenever they play against Hulo 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:44.880 and you take your chances, you roll your dice against 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.920 Ridley engaged, You try your best to eliminate their number 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.480 one resource. You take him out the game, and you 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.400 trust that you have enough talent on that side of 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:54.720 the ball to handle everybody else that they have on 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.760 their roster. But you do not. You do not let 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:01.000 their number one beat you, even with help over the top. 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.960 You don't trust your rookie in that situation. I say, no, no, 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.840 not against Julio. See look just just look at it. 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.600 Last week. What do you do last week? I thought? Okay, 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:14.160 I mean, but still that that's who who digs are 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:19.320 Julio Julio Julio. Okay, yeah, Julio is fantastic. Yeah, that's yeah, 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.600 that happened. At some point. Where do you when you're 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.160 I guess, when you're strategizing for this, do you say, 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.320 all right, Julio is gonna get his, but not everybody else? 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.440 Is that the moond state going into a game like this, No, 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:34.560 you go, you go the opposite. You ensure that Julio 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.040 does not get his, and you trust that that you're 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.280 that your other guys on your depth chart can handle 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:41.720 the rest of their lineup. I would much rather lose 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:45.080 to Ridley Engage going off than Julio going off. That's 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.840 just that's just how it goes. Right. You trust that 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.319 your defensive line is gonna handle Girly in the backfield. 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.920 You trust that your dbs in your in your scheme 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.199 right where Mike Nolan is gonna handle Julio. Now, guess what, 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.320 Jordan lewis you figure out how to handle Gauge whoever 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.280 else step up up and you handle Ridley and we 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.520 roll the dice and we go to work. Right, that's 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:05.000 what you want to do. You do not want to 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:06.839 give this guy an opportunity to get going, because it's 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.040 not just Julio Jones. You still have Maddie Ice placing 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.760 the ball in the exact spots for only Julio to 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.080 catch the ball. So let's not just think about it. 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.760 It's just receivers out there running rounds on dbs. It's 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.280 also a matter of the quarterbacks throwing them open when 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:23.400 they they maybe not be open. Apparently. Remember, heck, it's 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.160 not a Chrysler here. We're not deal with just no, no, no, 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.440 I know exactly the one that we're talking about. And 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.880 that's what I'm saying from a schematic standpoint. Would it 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.319 be better that we say, look, we're gonna obviously double 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.600 this guy. We're not gonna send someone out there to 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:39.240 dive a thousand paper cuts against him. It's gonna be 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.720 a situation where we double him. But at the same time, 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.240 these other guys I believe are manageable. If we're gonna 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.920 go a Woozier against Jones and then go with Trey 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:55.200 digs against Ridley and engage with our nickel corner, I 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.079 trust that. I trust that. But at the same time, 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.439 it's just a give and take. It's gonna be a 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.600 situation where, you know, a veteran receiver like Julio, you 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:05.640 can't just put the clamps on him and shut him 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.160 down completely. He's too good, his game's too good. So uh, 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.360 that's that's just you know, my my feeling on it 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:13.160 is that that's the approach that we have to have 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.000 going into this Sunday. And if you miss, guys encouraged 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.840 by what Diggs did in a week one? Sorry, Kyle, Yeah, 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.559 I mean I'm encouraged by it. What's the question? What'd 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:24.760 you say? Well? I'm sorry? Were you guys encouraged by 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:26.960 the way Diggs plays? What played what he did in 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.200 week one? Because I was, I mean, if he were 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.080 three inches toler he might have had a pick. Yeah, 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.280 And I thought and I thought he battled. You know, 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.280 but the way the way the RAMS scheme things up, 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.040 I mean, yeah, nobody could. Yeah, I mean they're all 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.160 over the place. I mean, but but going but going 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.640 into this week, Rob like Dives had a good a 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:48.120 good week one. Why would you take his confidence down? Right? 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.520 Don't take his confidence down? Build his confidence. Put him 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.640 out there on Ridley. Okay, listen up. You did a 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.840 good job of this past weekend. Yeah, let's go ahead 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:56.839 and step it up. Now you're sticking Ridley right now, 0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:00.640 that's your responsibility. Don't put that on a Ricky handle, Julio. 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.160 I don't think there's any team in the league. I 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.960 don't care what Ricky it is. It's gonna put Ricky 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.120 on Julio. Okay, it's not gonna happen. Okay, it's just 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.160 not smart going off of that. By the way, for 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.200 those of you listening, if you haven't checked out Wednesday's episode, 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.760 we talked a lot about cars. We talked about Bentley's 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.960 and Chrysler's and how Julio's the Lamborghini of the group. 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.920 But here's the thing. So, Isaiah, if you're not willing 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:26.000 to take that fresh car straight off the lot, driving 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:28.359 it straight off the lot to go race to the Lamborghini, 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:30.880 would you be more willing to throw a classic car 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.640 on there? What about branding car is what I'm talking 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.719 about whenever you're talking about specifically putting a veteran out 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:40.800 there to maybe cover Julio Jones. Yes, absolutely, I'll put 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.880 a branded car on Julio and give him help. I would, Honestly. 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.360 It's not just our dvs that have their job cutout 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.640 for him, right obviously our defensive coordinator only he has 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.960 to figure it out. And I would, personally, if I 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.920 was a decordinator, I would put to cover two men 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.600 on that side of the field wherever to hit Julio's at. 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.040 I'm gonna sit at defense a bat on his inside 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.280 shoulder to get closest to the ball. I'm gonna have 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:05.160 that guy turn his back to the inside of the 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.280 field or turn his back to the quarterback. His job 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.240 is simply to force Julio Jones to run any route 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.439 outside right, and then you also have a safety over 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.080 the top that helps it. It It justicates Julio runs by you, 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.880 so you're essentially pinning him and saying all your routes 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.960 can only go in that outside five yards outside the 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.679 outside the hash marks, outside the numbers, and to the sideline. 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.800 That's where all your routes could be ran. And that's 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:29.160 all we're gonna allow for you to do. If you 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.199 come inside, we have help. If you run by us, 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.400 we have help. And you eliminate him out the game 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.320 and just limit him to just those routes. Everybody else 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.800 go play ball, and you expect you, We're expecting our 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.040 defensive line to come back and have a heck of 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.720 a response to they're lack thereof this past week. I 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:48.440 know that's that, and that's and that is the key, 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.200 because if you're talking about Julio Jones on you know, 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.600 out routes and all that, Mattie Ice is gonna Matt 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.240 Ryan is gonna have to have time to do that 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.480 and go through his progression. So the line has to 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.360 get pressure this week. They have to last week. Man, 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.800 just look be smarter. Just if you looked at the game, 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.439 you realize, Man, everything that golf was doing was quick throws, 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.719 those little five yard Deacon dunk and those guys were 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:12.400 taking it the rest of the way. And I think 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.960 that any quarterback in the NFL would like to throw 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.480 a five yard pass and see it go for thirty yards. 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:21.839 So we definitely have to stop that. Rob. Is there 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.400 a chance that we see a lot of Brandon car 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.880 because of this then in his first week back, even 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.199 though it really hasn't been that long since he was 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:34.000 actually plucked up off of the free agent market. It's 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:35.960 a great question. I'm not I'm not so sure. I 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.280 think I don't think they wanted to really put him 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.360 out their week one. He didn't have a training camp, 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:43.319 and I think as a vet, twelve year vet, I 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.000 think he could he could have gone out there and played, 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:46.560 but I think they wanted to give him another week. 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.000 Maybe he works into a rotation there I mentioned yesterday, 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.760 you know, Zaiah mentioned Hurst the tight end for Atlanta. 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:56.560 That that's a type of matchup that I think Brandon 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.800 Carr could thrive in. Potentially. I think we saw Darryl 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:02.160 Worley take the tight end last week, and maybe that's 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:03.760 something a way he could he could get in and 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:07.600 get some snaps um. But it's it's such a there's 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.800 so many numbers at this position. I'm not sure exactly 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:11.480 how they're gonna work them in unless they just make 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.640 a change at safety, which I don't think they're they're 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:18.120 gonna do week two. And Rob to your point, and Kyle, 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.880 I guess I didn't answer fully answer your question. Uh. 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:25.040 With car being a twelve year veteran, Right's he's your 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.400 most experienced defensive back that you have now on this 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:30.040 inside or side of the ball, and he has faced 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:34.760 more number one receivers than Trevan Dix has ever dreamed of. Right, So, 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:38.080 the fact that he knows the ins and outs of 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:40.960 number one receivers, he knows what Julio has done because 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.800 he's faced them before. Right, he knows what these guys's 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.200 schemes are. He is so much more prepared to handle 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.880 a situation such as this, which is I'm gonna go 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:51.880 ahead and say it. This is a must win game 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:56.920 for the Cowboys, must win all right, You're right, because 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.760 because you're going to Seattle next week, right, so this 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:03.200 is must week win, must week, must win week for 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:04.920 the Cowboys. And I know it sounds silly going to 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:06.840 the week two. We have some some teams that we 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.000 can definitely scrape up going past that, but these first 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.160 three games are important, so you cannot afford to miss 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.320 on this opportunity. And if we were to come back 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.160 next week on Monday and talk about, oh, Julio Jones 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:18.880 went off for one hundred and seventy five yards because 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:20.920 we decided to let him just do what he does, 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.960 we will be a very, very sick as Cowboys nation. 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.800 So would you consider you know, the talk has been 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.320 you know, Brandon Carr comes in, maybe helps the numbers 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.880 at safety, would you consider playing him at corner potential. 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:33.920 I'll put him right on Julio. Okay, I'll put him 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:35.960 right on Holi because there's nothing that Julio is going 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.320 to do that that car has not seen. Right now, 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:43.240 can he fully adjust and cover him? Nobody can cover Julio, 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.320 So you're not losing anything there. But in terms of schemes, 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.440 in terms of making sure that other dbs know what's 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.720 going on, in terms of seeing things on the field, 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:52.960 of combination routes and being able to help guys be 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:55.920 prepared for what's coming. Car is the most prepared person 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.400 aside from Worthy. It's the same team that had three 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:03.280 hundred yards receivers and lost about thirteen last year. That's true. 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.760 That's a very good point, very good point. Just because 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.560 these receivers are having success doesn't mean the team has success. 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:10.840 If you can put up points as well, which we 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.040 know the Cowboys can do, it could pay dividends for 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:15.960 them moving forward. Now we're going to talk about that 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:19.840 Cowboys side of the football offense versus defense. Is Kellen 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:23.160 Moore going to get more creative with his play calling? 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.520 We're going to talk about it next here on talking Cowboys. 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:30.520 Since eighteen sixty five, Stetson hats are American maid with 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.880 pride right here in Texas, and Stetson is proud to 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.320 be on the field with America's team.

We're 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:42.040 breaking down the Atlanta defense versus that Dallas Cowboys high 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.240 flying offense that only put up seventeen points in Week one. Boat, 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:47.080 We're gonna get past that and we're gonna talk about 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:50.560 how they can get better in week two. Isaiah standback, 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:54.000 heck My Harrison, Rob Phillips, I'm Kyle Yeoman's and guys 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.520 like I said, there were some disappointment around this offense. 0:18:56.880 --> 0:19:01.920 Uh play calling, offensive wine, not really getting your playmakers 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.840 the football in space. There were quite a few different 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:08.680 things that could have been upgraded from a Cowboys perspective, 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:11.120 but Heck, we're gonna start with you. What was the 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:15.320 number one thing in week one that has to improve 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:21.040 going into week two? Third down efficiency. We have to 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:24.160 get better on third down. That's uh. And I'm sure 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:27.080 you know Dak Prescott that's on his mind because that's 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:30.280 the quarterback stat. And it just felt as though, and 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:33.199 let me just back up here a little bit. I 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:36.400 realized we had those penalties that just sty me those 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.360 drives and when we were still in momentum, but we 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.560 were awful on third down, and we have to get 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:46.760 better in this game. Rob, Yeah, totally agree. I agree 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:48.679 with you. Heck, I think that third down efficiency. I mean, 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:50.280 you don't. You don't give yourself a chance to win 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:53.040 ball games if you only convert twenty five percent of 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:55.399 your third downs. Just just just not not set up for 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:58.160 success unless you're just making big plays all the time. 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:00.960 But I I think that we have to control the 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:03.360 line of scrimmage. I don't if we don't, if our 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.159 office a line doesn't control the line of scrimmage, then 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:10.040 we have zero chance. Obviously, there is a disruptorum, the 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:13.119 best disruptor in the league right now. Um, in terms 0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:17.119 of with the Rams last week and with with Aaron Donald. 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:21.439 But you know, aside from a physical specimen of a 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:24.920 force like that, we don't face that this week. But collectively, 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:28.320 I think that the Atlanta's defensive line plays better as 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:31.040 a whole in their in their scheme that they play, 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:33.120 So we don't have to worry about just one person. 0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:34.840
