Speaker 3: feels like it's been a turn of the page. There
Speaker 3: was frustration earlier in the week. There was a little
Speaker 3: bit of animosity at times, just with this football team
Speaker 3: and the fan base.
Speaker 6: It's time to get down to business. Yeah, it's time
Speaker 6: to like put your best foot forward. You know what's
Speaker 6: going on you know how you're dealing with injuries here.
Speaker 6: You know that Ceedee Lamb is not playing, you know
Speaker 6: the Todd Booker is not playing, So you have to
Speaker 6: put your best foot forward. And I think at least
Speaker 6: as far as press conference is going, we'll hear from
Speaker 6: coordinators today. But you get a sense that everyone is
Speaker 6: it's time to get to work.
Speaker 3: And yes, yeah, I think paybag. Of course, the primetime
Speaker 3: window plays a factor into it all, and the opponent
Speaker 3: plays a factor into trauma plays into it. That's exactly right.
Speaker 6: It's a popcorn ready.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm excited about this weekend. It's gonna be an
Speaker 3: incredible atmosphere. I know Cowboys fans are ready to welcome
Speaker 3: in Micah Parsons with certain arms. I'm not exactly sure
Speaker 3: what exactly it's gonna.
Speaker 1: Look Likelion, I think so too.
Speaker 3: I think there are going to be booze and I
Speaker 3: think there are going to be cheers at the same time.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a little bit of all. I'm thinking
Speaker 1: it goes fifty to fifty either way.
Speaker 4: How do you guys feel about the tribute video.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why everybody is losing their mind over the.
Speaker 6: That there's a lack thereof Yeah, no tribute video not happening.
Speaker 1: I'm alright with that, did you I'm completely fine with it.
Speaker 1: What I would like to see is a player that
Speaker 1: played out as rookie cunts.
Speaker 6: Michael laying on the sidelines as like on the big screen.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: You know, just that's going to be so much use
Speaker 1: it against him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's going to be
Speaker 1: on freaking he was going, I don't want to kill
Speaker 1: him with find a way to you know, get himself,
Speaker 1: you know, ready for this game, no matter what's going
Speaker 1: to be too amped. And that might work against some Yeah,
Speaker 1: that might work.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Luca cried on the bench prior to
Speaker 3: taking the floor at the American Airline Center for the
Speaker 3: first time as a Laker, and he put up fifty
Speaker 3: nine points.
Speaker 1: We also didn't, didn't we agree to differentuations are different,
Speaker 1: they are later, but you can't.
Speaker 3: Lucas, No, no, no, no, But I'm talking about Yeah, the
Speaker 3: situations are completely different from how we got there. But
Speaker 3: I'm talking about emotions of returning home that's similar.
Speaker 1: He scored that much. Luca put up fifty.
Speaker 3: Nine points or forty five or one of the one
Speaker 3: of the two.
Speaker 1: His vengeance was different though to me anyway.
Speaker 3: Probably he had a little.
Speaker 6: Bit more and listeners cooking, they're saying no video.
Speaker 3: No, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't like how how things went. I don't like
Speaker 1: how things degraded. I don't on either side. I just
Speaker 1: want to be clear. I don't like how it was
Speaker 1: handled in the front office. I don't like how Micah's
Speaker 1: side handled it as far as like the public trade requests,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to play for the Cowboys anymore.
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, mmmm, really that's how you feel.
Speaker 3: Just for those that are wondering. Forty five points, eight rebound,
Speaker 3: six assists, four steals in his return against the Dallas Matterick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he also wasn't shipped out of town at eleven fourbounds.
Speaker 6: Michael parsons that.
Speaker 1: He also didn't uh and Luca also got his team
Speaker 1: to the conference finals and then the def So you see,
Speaker 1: you see what I'm saying. So if you're talking tributes
Speaker 1: that are deserved, these are the type of players that
Speaker 1: deserve tributes, not players. No knocking Micah, but four years,
Speaker 1: no playoff success, one game, one game fair, I need
Speaker 1: you if if you are pro tribute for Micah. I
Speaker 1: just need you to justify the watch that just tell
Speaker 1: me why, and it has to be a like a
Speaker 1: concrete conc crea one or two reasons other than you
Speaker 1: love Michah. Loving a guy is perfectly fine. Wrong with that,
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that. However, I love you that before
Speaker 1: seasons is not It does not a tribute. Make four
Speaker 1: seasons to not a tribute, make you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: So I agreed with the Zeke tribute. Look at what
Speaker 1: Zeke was able to do as far as record setting
Speaker 1: over the course of his and then he had two
Speaker 1: stints came back and it's like, okay, cool, right, you're
Speaker 1: not Zeke, You're not Emit, you're not Luca And again
Speaker 1: no knock to michaeh. I just I don't see the
Speaker 1: justification for a tribute, So why people are making old
Speaker 1: They're not gonna do a tribute, so who cares? I
Speaker 1: would I would be more understanding of if this game
Speaker 1: was in Green Bay and the Packers chose not to
Speaker 1: do a tribute for Kenny Clark that I would understand.
Speaker 1: That's nine seasons through Pro Bowls, with some postseason success
Speaker 1: and with Aaron Rodgers and Jordan of I mean, like
Speaker 1: I would understand if that was a note, I'd be like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's that's shape.
Speaker 3: Just to play devil's advocate, even though I do agree
Speaker 3: with you, micaeh made more Pro Bowls with Dallas than
Speaker 3: Kenny Clark.
Speaker 1: Did with but not an impactful you know what I mean?
Speaker 6: Like, would you be fine with a photo thank you, Michael?
Speaker 3: Like a folk Oh yeah, like a graphic graphic?
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, I'd be cool with that, welcome back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm fine with it because that at least
Speaker 3: knowledge is it.
Speaker 1: I'm found with that Michael put a highlight package.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know about like a montage with.
Speaker 1: A highlight video.
Speaker 4: Couches back there cooking up a whole what I.
Speaker 1: Am good with splitting the difference. I could see it,
Speaker 1: thank you, graphic, and then let's play football.
Speaker 3: I'm interested in what everybody because I know it's a
Speaker 3: split thought process over the Micah situation in general. But
Speaker 3: would you or would you not have a tribute? Put
Speaker 3: it in the comments right now.
Speaker 4: And be clear, is it a video or is it
Speaker 4: a graphic?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Two very different things. And at the graphic it's Michael
Speaker 6: Alans sideline.
Speaker 3: We are such creative that we're debating a graphic person.
Speaker 3: It's different.
Speaker 4: It is different.
Speaker 3: All right, News and notes, Pat, what's going on with
Speaker 3: this team? And what does the injury report look like?
Speaker 1: All right? Wednesday's injury report, we already know the expected
Speaker 1: being Tyler Booker and Ceedee Lamb. Neither of them participated
Speaker 1: nor shall they participate for the foreseeable future. Tyler Booker
Speaker 1: will eventually be moved to IL right, we feel at
Speaker 1: some point this week we'll see how they choose to
Speaker 1: handle that. Good news to Ron Bland continues to trend
Speaker 1: toward taking the field back on practice yes back in
Speaker 1: practice yesterday, and in a limited capacity, so he is
Speaker 1: ramping up. All signs point to him having a green
Speaker 1: light as long as there are no setbacks this week.
Speaker 1: The front office has said it, Shottenheimer has said it
Speaker 1: looks like he will be a go. Traquayes Bridges, he
Speaker 1: did pop up on the injury report with a knee issue,
Speaker 1: but limited. He did do some work yesterday, so it's
Speaker 1: not of major concern. But what's not good is Trevon Diggs,
Speaker 1: with his knee issue, did not participate in Wednesday's practice,
Speaker 1: so here we are again with the possibility of getting
Speaker 1: Bland back and then Diggs being sidelined, and that just
Speaker 1: seems to be a theme that the universe conspires against
Speaker 1: those two playing on the field at the same time
Speaker 1: for any extended period of time. Flippy really quickly to
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. They have a few did not
Speaker 1: participate players that did not participate, I should say it
Speaker 1: that way. The most glaring is Zach is It torn
Speaker 1: Tom their offensive line in their tackle starting tackle right
Speaker 1: oblique injury. He did not participate. I saw some reports
Speaker 1: yesterday that says he's going to miss this game. So
Speaker 1: in the event, which is going to be a perfect
Speaker 1: segue too, because I looked at the rundown, in the
Speaker 1: event that he cannot play, well, even if he does play,
Speaker 1: there's no reason to not have Jadavion Clowney on the field.
Speaker 1: And in the event there starting tackle can't play, all
Speaker 1: the more reason to have Javion Clowney on the field.
Speaker 6: And he had that oblique the week before last whenever
Speaker 6: they're going to Cleveland and Miles Garrett did not help
Speaker 6: matters there, so may have reaggravated that or just made
Speaker 6: it worse.
Speaker 3: Probably there based on and I know you guys want
Speaker 3: to see Jadavian Clowney play, but just based on the
Speaker 3: conversations that we had yesterday in the locker room, what's
Speaker 3: your confidence level he does play going into week.
Speaker 6: He's confused why he didn't play last.
Speaker 1: Speaking of split decisions, it's a split decision right now.
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones have both got on one
Speaker 1: oh five three of the Fan and said they expect
Speaker 1: they expect. Stephen Jones said yes. Jerry Jones said yes
Speaker 1: to the question. Yes. Shoddy is noncommittal, which I think
Speaker 1: is more so games mach. He doesn't want to reveal
Speaker 1: his game.
Speaker 4: He's hold his cards closed.
Speaker 1: My money on the table, not allowed to bid. Okay,
Speaker 1: Roger back off Pracrick. We were speaking, you know terms. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if I were to put money on the table, I
Speaker 1: would say that Javion Clowney plays this game, because is
Speaker 1: what do you have to lose by playing him? Now
Speaker 1: that he's been here a couple of weeks to get prepared.
Speaker 1: You don't have a pass rush that's get home consistently.
Speaker 1: You're staring at one in three starts of the season.
Speaker 1: In the face. You can't justify to me why he's
Speaker 1: not on the field. If he's not on the field,
Speaker 1: get him on the field. I think he gets on
Speaker 1: the field and also.
Speaker 4: There let him cook.
Speaker 1: You can feel that frustration bubbling beneath his surface, because,
Speaker 1: like you said, he wanted to play last week, he
Speaker 1: was disappointed that he didn't. Eh, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you want to pull that twice. Yeah, oh, Jim, I
Speaker 1: don't know, Jim, old Jim, get him out there, Get
Speaker 1: him out there.
Speaker 3: How much of an impact do you feel like Clowney
Speaker 3: could make Isaiah when he gets back into the fold.
Speaker 3: I know we've talked about it a little bit throughout
Speaker 3: the week, but even just hearing the pause to put
Speaker 3: him in the game last week, does that mean we're
Speaker 3: still going to see him on a pitch count.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I don't We haven't seen this Doe since last year,
Speaker 7: so I have no idea what his conditioning level was, Like,
Speaker 7: I don't know how he's coming off the ball. We
Speaker 7: literally are going into this game line with expectations from
Speaker 7: seven months ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I mean none of us know, right, It's
Speaker 1: all hope and a lot of.
Speaker 6: The circulation, at least on social and you know who
Speaker 6: knows what his conditioning is at. But a lot of
Speaker 6: people are saying he's just not as big as he
Speaker 6: used to be.
Speaker 1: He's thin.
Speaker 6: It looks really thin. I mean even Jesse Holly was saying,
Speaker 6: he looks like a wide receiver.
Speaker 3: I cuck it up.
Speaker 1: I can tell you why. It's the conversation that he
Speaker 1: and I had right after he signed his contract. He said,
Speaker 1: I mentioned it on the show that the Panthers had
Speaker 1: him doing more coverage than he had ever done in
Speaker 1: his career, so he dropped ten to twelve pounds in
Speaker 1: order to be able to cover better. Now he's look
Speaker 1: he's trying to work toward getting that ten to twelve
Speaker 1: pounds of muscle back. So as you see him right now,
Speaker 1: that's the answer for why he looks slimmer. But if
Speaker 1: his plan, if everything goes according to plan with the
Speaker 1: dietitians and the training staff, he should look a bit
Speaker 1: heavier three weeks from now, right. So, yeah, but that
Speaker 1: explains why he looks a little bit more slender.
Speaker 6: My thing is regardless of his condition. Right now, I
Speaker 6: want to see someone else besides don I just need
Speaker 6: to see something different, something else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jam Houston and Via and coloney.
Speaker 3: What are you looking at here, Isaiah?
Speaker 1: I'm just Jameson.
Speaker 3: You're being coy Isaiah a day.
Speaker 1: Why are you?
Speaker 7: I'm blocked and loaded, locked and loaded. We just don't
Speaker 7: I mean, we don't know what Clowney can bring. We
Speaker 7: will find out. We're trying to find out. Yeah, we'll
Speaker 7: find out. We literally don't know, right, It's it's literally
Speaker 7: a crapshoot right now, we're going off of history. That's
Speaker 7: literally we don't have preseason, we don't have training camp,
Speaker 7: we don't have OTA, we don't have anything to go
Speaker 7: off of Panthers from last year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it, I mean, which was good. If he
Speaker 1: gives you five or six as over the rest of
Speaker 1: the season, it's a successful sign absolutely.
Speaker 7: I mean, if we get the Clowney that we've seen
Speaker 7: the last three years, then we're all gonna be sitting
Speaker 7: here happy as all get out, happy as claims. But
Speaker 7: we don't know what we're getting, so we can go
Speaker 7: off of expectations. But that's literally all we have to
Speaker 7: go off of.
Speaker 3: It's one of those it's better than what we've got
Speaker 3: right now scenarios.
Speaker 1: Right at least, you think if we get what we've
Speaker 1: seen on film.
Speaker 7: We will be happy because what we've seen on film
Speaker 7: is aggressive defensive men that is that is long and lanky,
Speaker 7: that sets the edges, that really pushes the defense. The
Speaker 7: offensive lineman back. When he wants to get to the quarterback,
Speaker 7: he's relentless in his pursuit to get him. He is
Speaker 7: a guy that demands the respect of the offensive line.
Speaker 7: He's the guy who demands the respect of the offensive coordinator.
Speaker 7: You better put some respect on his name, otherwise he'll
Speaker 7: make you pay if you put one guy on him.
Speaker 7: And once he if he has his feet underneath him,
Speaker 7: he is what he was, He's gonna make you pay.
Speaker 7: So he's somebody that you have to adjust your pass
Speaker 7: protection to. He's somebody that the quarterback has to be
Speaker 7: aware of. So yeah, if we're getting the old version
Speaker 7: of him from the last time he touched the field,
Speaker 7: then yeah, you'll be happy.
Speaker 1: But we truly don't know. I don't think he knows
Speaker 1: what he's able to do right now.
Speaker 6: I think you would be content. You would be satisfied
Speaker 6: with the production that he gave you last year. If
Speaker 6: it is like just jumping back to what he did
Speaker 6: last year, you would be fine with that, but I
Speaker 6: don't think it's going to get you over the hump
Speaker 6: of like, oh, now you have past past rushing defense.
Speaker 4: He gets you, it will be serviceable and.
Speaker 1: Gets you a Sunday. That's cool.
Speaker 3: But the thing is, like he has he saved for
Speaker 3: bold predictions.
Speaker 7: Bro, he hasn't had a He hasn't had a full
Speaker 7: speed reps as his last NFL game. Yeah, even the
Speaker 7: practice that he's had here the last howe many days,
Speaker 7: it's not a full speed rep because he can't go
Speaker 7: relentlessly to the quarterback.
Speaker 8: So he legit has not had a full speed rep.
Speaker 8: So he doesn't know what he can do right now.
Speaker 8: It's all up in the air, all of it. You
Speaker 8: know what else is up in the air football? Because
Speaker 8: it's QB Vision time.
Speaker 3: A Micah is making his return, his homecoming of sorts,
Speaker 3: Micah Parsons to a teen parties stadium. Who is he
Speaker 3: bringing with him? Isaiah stand back koy Isaiah here on
Speaker 3: this talking Cowboys Thursday. Is gonna break it down when
Speaker 3: we come back QB Vision right after this.

Speaker 10: I don't want to.
Speaker 7: Like, it's just a.
Speaker 4: Scary thing when a lot of people are doing that.
Speaker 4: I know, it's terrifiking.
Speaker 7: Have you seen the new wave Now they're starting to
Speaker 7: give like diamond cuts people's veneers.

Speaker 4: I would do it.
Speaker 1: What yeah, really full of wing?
Speaker 3: Like Yeah, wouldn't that.
Speaker 4: Be such a like dichotomy the diamonds? You're talking cowboys?
Speaker 4: Like three years playing Black, I got.
Speaker 1: The CD teeth, you know what I'm saying, Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: CD's teeth, all right?
Speaker 6: Well, talking to teeth here all of the cows is
Speaker 6: a supportive dad like, yeah, I like you.
Speaker 3: What else you want to do?
Speaker 1: So I do agree with you.
Speaker 3: Though you can't have too white of teeth. It's just
Speaker 3: it's too much, just just a show out, a little
Speaker 3: bit a shade or so knock it down.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, we don't got to go full.
Speaker 3: We're a lot trying to be people here. We're all
Speaker 3: trying to make it happen here.
Speaker 6: We're all human being. I will be getting botox though.
Speaker 3: You know, you know what we are going to be
Speaker 3: talking about. It's a little bit of this.
Speaker 1: Why Eddie, Why Eddie put?
Speaker 2: It's time for QB vision with Isaiah's standback.
Speaker 1: I We're back. I make I'm excited, excited. I am excited. Man.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. Okay, let's call the spade a spade.
Speaker 7: Okay, We're playing against the number one defense in terms
Speaker 7: of points per game allowed, number one defense in terms
Speaker 7: of yards per play allowed, number one defense in terms
Speaker 7: of passing yards per play allowed, and the third best
Speaker 7: ranked rushing defense in the league.
Speaker 1: Those are the facts.
Speaker 7: Yes, you're playing against a very aggressive defensive team. Their
Speaker 7: defensive backs will come hit you. Their defensive line wants
Speaker 7: to get after you. Their linebackers want to get to
Speaker 7: the quarterback. Okay, the guys are very aggressive. So that's
Speaker 7: enough gas.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's enough gasoline on there on their little flyer
Speaker 1: that they have there. Let's let's talk.
Speaker 7: About where they're weak, where they're curious. They're so supposedly
Speaker 7: the third best rushing defense in the league. I don't
Speaker 7: believe it, exactly. I'm not a believer. I am not
Speaker 7: a believer.
Speaker 1: These guys are only allowing sixty four yards per game. Believer.
Speaker 7: You know why because their interior d line to me
Speaker 7: is they're just not oppressive. They are not impressive. They
Speaker 7: miss somebody named k C. You know, I'm not talking
Speaker 7: about Fried Chicken.
Speaker 3: In Kansas City.
Speaker 1: Kenny Clark Clark.
Speaker 7: Okay, they thought they can get by without Kenny Clark.
Speaker 7: They thought they we don't need them. We got Mike
Speaker 7: coming in. They miss him. The reason why they miss
Speaker 7: him is because Kenny Clark not only can two gap
Speaker 7: and hold the ford at the point, but Kenny Clark
Speaker 7: also wants to get vertical and get between your offensive
Speaker 7: linement and get on the other side of your offensive line.
Speaker 7: Their interior defensive linement that they currently have, do not
Speaker 7: do that. They are true stand there, hold the ford
Speaker 7: to two point two gap guys that just want to
Speaker 7: push and bull rush.
Speaker 1: That's what they want to do.
Speaker 6: But they're not getting any actual push.
Speaker 7: They're not they I mean sometimes they do, sometimes they do,
Speaker 7: but they're more vertical than they are anything. Right, So
Speaker 7: if you had to say, my center in Cooper BB
Speaker 7: is out and my right guard is down to my
Speaker 7: third guy who is now TJ. Bass, and I'm missing
Speaker 7: my two starters there. The one thing I would want
Speaker 7: the opposition to do with their interior D lineman is
Speaker 7: what against brock Hoffman and TJ. Bass be borus guys, please,
Speaker 7: That's that's the one area I actually feel comfortable and
Speaker 7: confident with those those two gentlemen.
Speaker 10: So do it.
Speaker 7: That's all they can do. That's what their interior D
Speaker 7: lineman can do. So this sixty four yards per game, eh,
Speaker 7: let's test that. Let's test that theory. I believe that
Speaker 7: the Dallas Cowboys can run for one twenty five on
Speaker 7: these guys. Wow, I truly do, to quote.
Speaker 1: The great King Leonidis, will put their names to the test.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I truly do. I truly do so I would
Speaker 7: like to see that be tested. Now, what you don't
Speaker 7: want to do. What you don't want to do is
Speaker 7: you don't want to find yourself in passing situations on
Speaker 7: a consistent basis. You don't want to find yourself in
Speaker 7: second and long third and lungs.
Speaker 3: Behind the chain.
Speaker 7: You don't want to do that because the best portion
Speaker 7: of their defense is their front seven and their ability
Speaker 7: to get to the quarterback.
Speaker 1: That's right, they can do that.
Speaker 7: And how do they do that? Well, they just have
Speaker 7: better guys, didn't you. Let's just call a spade a spade.
Speaker 7: So you don't want to be in that position. Who
Speaker 7: do they have on that defensive front? Well, guys that
Speaker 7: you need to be concerned about. Well, there's number one.
Speaker 7: You obviously know about him, Michael Parsons, who has not
Speaker 7: been on every down guy for them, but he's been
Speaker 7: a rotation guy. Why is he a rotation guy? Because
Speaker 7: they have a number of guys that can play that
Speaker 7: position along with him? Is going to be let's talk
Speaker 7: about him.
Speaker 1: Maybe Rashan Gary number fifty two for those that don't know,
Speaker 1: he's kind of good.
Speaker 7: He's kind of good. He likes to line up in
Speaker 7: not only a seven tech, a nine tech. He lines
Speaker 7: up in like a fifteen tech. Sometimes he's way out there. Okay,
Speaker 7: so he's so far out there that sometimes he will
Speaker 7: come get come off the chip from your tight end
Speaker 7: who is detached from the offensive line, and still work
Speaker 7: his way all the way back to your tackle, who
Speaker 7: is then waiting on him, and it is probably giving
Speaker 7: too much. But if he's able to get to you,
Speaker 7: then you are spending way too much time in the
Speaker 7: pocket because that's how far away he's coming. The one
Speaker 7: thing that their defensive line does very well that bothers
Speaker 7: me and concerns me about this game is they stunt
Speaker 7: very well. They move a lot in terms of responsibilities.
Speaker 7: They will take their tackle and run across the face
Speaker 7: of your center and your guard and challenge your offensive
Speaker 7: line's ability to communicate properly in terms of who's passing
Speaker 7: who off. If you can't pass off guys from defense
Speaker 7: alignment to the next defense linesman and keep your eyes
Speaker 7: on your target and your responsibility, you're screwed.
Speaker 3: It goes back to that te t list that you
Speaker 3: were talking about going into science correct and what happened
Speaker 3: in the Giants game and where did they really challenge them. Now,
Speaker 3: Dallas was able to sort through it and they were
Speaker 3: able to put up points, So that's a good sign
Speaker 3: for sure. But there were a couple of times. I
Speaker 3: know Dak got sacked twice on an ET stunt at
Speaker 3: some point in time.
Speaker 7: The reason why this concerns me is because you are
Speaker 7: using your backups. Yeah, you're using You're using TJ. Bass,
Speaker 7: You're using brock Hoffman. Both of those guys are maulers, right.
Speaker 7: They want to get their hands on you. They want
Speaker 7: to exert their physicality on you. They're concern you. They
Speaker 7: want to get in a fight with you. So if
Speaker 7: you're so concerned with getting in a fight and locking
Speaker 7: in with these interior defense alignment that want to bull rush,
Speaker 7: they're probably not coming off of those blocks and getting
Speaker 7: to the guy that's scraping over the top, going to
Speaker 7: get dack. That's my concern. So even though they don't
Speaker 7: bring a ton of pressure. Okay, I haven't even looked
Speaker 7: at the analytics. I've watched the film. Okay, I stop trusting,
Speaker 7: stop trusting the stat.
Speaker 3: Yeah you've got a bit of beefoot, Yeah, I gotta
Speaker 3: be currently.
Speaker 7: But they will challenge, they'll bring five sometimes sometimes they'll
Speaker 7: bring six, but they don't like to expose their secondary
Speaker 7: at all. Their secondary. This is a single high defense.
Speaker 7: These guys, Listen, I went back to the Washington game.
Speaker 7: These guys are single high. However, the difference between their
Speaker 7: single high and what we've seen from our defense and
Speaker 7: single high is their defensive backs don't allow guys to
Speaker 7: run by them without getting contact. Every person that runs
Speaker 7: past the second level, Okay, that's your linebacker level, and
Speaker 7: if your defensive backs are at that level, they're walk
Speaker 7: down safety. Whoever it might be, nickelback. Somebody's putting hands
Speaker 7: on you. They're gonna bless you. They're gonna bless you
Speaker 7: are They're gonna touch you shoulder, they're gonna push you,
Speaker 7: They're gonna do something. They are trying to get contact
Speaker 7: on you to knock you off of your timing and
Speaker 7: knock you off of your path. Okay, your your alignment,
Speaker 7: you're seeing wherever you might be. They don't want to
Speaker 7: allow you just run free, so you expect contact. So
Speaker 7: when you start thinking about it from that context, your
Speaker 7: receivers have to play this game physical. That's why I'm
Speaker 7: concerned about this. From what I've seen from our receivers
Speaker 7: to date, we haven't put it on tape. Okay, from
Speaker 7: what I've seen, George Pickens doesn't want that contact. From
Speaker 7: what I've seen, Tolbert, Tolbert can get easily knocked around.
Speaker 7: On what this style of defense and who do I say?
Speaker 7: I said, I'm in turping Turpin can get easily knocked around.
Speaker 7: Tolbert is a stature that makes sense, yes Tobert. To me,
Speaker 7: it's probably your best option from what I'm seeing on tape.
Speaker 7: From what I'm seeing on tape now, that could be
Speaker 7: completely different. But I'm talking about body type. I'm talking
Speaker 7: about willingness, ability to fight off defensive backs and catch
Speaker 7: you know, the ball with somebody sitting on their backs.
Speaker 1: Nafety is sure would be good to have me on
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, I hear that.
Speaker 3: I hear that absolutely, but it's not available for at
Speaker 3: least another week.
Speaker 7: Last last thing i'll mention here, Okay, guys, I'll work
Speaker 7: from the D line to the last second level to
Speaker 7: now the third level Cover three team.
Speaker 1: These guys want to keep everything in front of them.
Speaker 1: Cover three.
Speaker 7: They'll play man to man as well. They don't mind
Speaker 7: matching up man to man because they want to get physical,
Speaker 7: like you know, so as you you're supposed to only
Speaker 7: contacting five yards. As soon as you get to five yards,
Speaker 7: it seemingly that's when their hands become veilcrow. They want
Speaker 7: to get on your hip, they want to get on
Speaker 7: your shoulder, and they're sticky. They want to play everything
Speaker 7: from back down. They're not letting anything get behind them.
Speaker 7: The safety when you watch their safety is unconcerned about
Speaker 7: what's going on in the backfield. These guys are sitting
Speaker 7: back twenty five yards deep and they're keeping everything in
Speaker 7: front of them. Hardly ever, whill you see these guys
Speaker 7: turning and running backwards because their job is to keep
Speaker 7: everything in front as a safety.
Speaker 4: Three wink wink, Yes, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 7: Yes, their second level sinks. Okay, very well, so you're
Speaker 7: got to be very patient off In. You're gonna have
Speaker 7: to be okay with Dinkin and Duncan.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 7: The reason why they sink is because as the second
Speaker 7: left they're going to cover three right, these guys will
Speaker 7: drift back. So now your linebackers instead of them being
Speaker 7: at this seven to eight yard mark, these guys are
Speaker 7: really at the ten to twelve yard mark. Safeties and
Speaker 7: corners are even further back than that, so you're left
Speaker 7: with the option of what dumping it down right, And
Speaker 7: if you try to wait for your guys to get
Speaker 7: beyond that ten to twelve yard mark of the second level,
Speaker 7: not the third level, but of the second level, usually
Speaker 7: you run out of time because of what because of.
Speaker 6: The rushers incongruous to what you're saying, and it's You've
Speaker 6: laid it out perfectly. This defense is structurally sound, especially
Speaker 6: the secondaries, and I love that they're able to disguise
Speaker 6: their coverages and when they do sit in a basic look,
Speaker 6: the offense is confused. It's like, wait a second, They've
Speaker 6: been disguising this all game long, and then when they
Speaker 6: set you're like, all right, what are they gonna do now?
Speaker 3: And then they just maul you.
Speaker 6: The key to that, like you're saying, is run the ball,
Speaker 6: Run the MF ball all day long. Javonte Williams is
Speaker 6: going to be your X factor this week. We can
Speaker 6: say that in together in Unison, it'll be Jovontay Williams.
Speaker 1: You need to rely on him all gamealy.
Speaker 6: But my thing is Jake Ferguson is going to be
Speaker 6: another huge xpactor like you're saying Dnkin and dunkin. I
Speaker 6: am fine with those fifteen sixteen seventeen targets that get
Speaker 6: you forty or fifty yards. Those are basically run place.
Speaker 6: The more you're able to do that, the more often
Speaker 6: you're abel to do that. If you're doing that on
Speaker 6: first down and Javonte Williams on second down, I mean,
Speaker 6: the numbers are adding up, the math is mathing. You
Speaker 6: are able to get first downs and keep Green Bay's
Speaker 6: offense off the field.
Speaker 3: They're going to give you the middle of the field
Speaker 3: in between the hash marks, even an occasional seam from
Speaker 3: here from time to time, it's going to be there,
Speaker 3: which reminds me, of course, Jake Ferguson of what he
Speaker 3: did thirteen targets or thirteen receptions on sixteen targets last.
Speaker 6: Week for fifty yards, for fifty yards seventy.
Speaker 3: It's probably what we're gonna see again. Maybe they try
Speaker 3: and take one over the top and take the top
Speaker 3: off with Jake Ferguson like they've done in the past. Maybe,
Speaker 3: but it's not just him, it's guys like Schooonmaker and
Speaker 3: Brevin spam Ford. Because you don't want that wear and
Speaker 3: tear over and over and over again. But then we
Speaker 3: heard Brian Schottenheimer yesterday in his press conference. He said
Speaker 3: he was asked about Pickens and the different role that
Speaker 3: Pickens is going to have now that Cede Lamb's not
Speaker 3: in the offense. He said, I don't think the role
Speaker 3: for Pickens changes. I think the role for everybody else changes.
Speaker 3: He said, Guys like Ferguson and Turpin and Tolbert, that's
Speaker 3: the guys. Those are the guys that are going to
Speaker 3: need to step up and fill in from production standpoints.
Speaker 3: So with that being said, I'm thinking Ferguson over the middle. Like,
Speaker 3: if you're in a PPR fantasy league, I would probably
Speaker 3: start the dude because it's just going to be bang
Speaker 3: bang bang bang, and he already leads the NFL entit physicality.
Speaker 1: Granted, you don't have Jonathan Mingle, you do have Ryan Flinoy, right,
Speaker 1: so's he's right now. As far as the active ruster
Speaker 1: is concerned, he's arguably most physical. I wouldn't say toughest,
Speaker 1: because I give that to Terment because the size and
Speaker 1: ability to take those hits, But as far as physicality,
Speaker 1: I'd really ramp up Flinoyd there, and I would also
Speaker 1: not shy away from twelve personnel. We're talking about exposing
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. Let's get let's get Brevin
Speaker 1: span Ford and Jake focusing on the field at the
Speaker 1: same time with George picking that, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that's how you start to exploit that defense.
Speaker 3: I think I think span Ford has earned more rap. Yes,
Speaker 3: even the play that he had that got called back
Speaker 3: because of the game the end of the game, just
Speaker 3: that one play was like, oh wow, and then you
Speaker 3: remind me I'm not saying wow, there remind people how
Speaker 3: big he is six foot seven seven.
Speaker 1: Earlier, earlier in the game. I can't remember exactly what play,
Speaker 1: but he laid a block on somebody and then went
Speaker 1: looking hunting and laid another block. I put two guys
Speaker 1: on their back. I was just.
Speaker 7: I love the idea of twelve personnel. The reason why
Speaker 7: I love the idea of twelve personnel, I'm glad y'all
Speaker 7: brought that up. Because you want to impose your will.
Speaker 7: You want to impose your will.
Speaker 4: You know what to hold on to the ball.
Speaker 7: You know they want to get after the quarterback. Yea,
Speaker 7: like they're coming in here enraged like Micah, do what
Speaker 7: you do.
Speaker 1: That's what they want.
Speaker 7: Man, listen, go twelve personnel and move these guys off
Speaker 7: the ball. Have a fourteen fifteen play drive Like do
Speaker 7: that consistently and I think that you can.
Speaker 1: These guys are aggressive. Don't listen.
Speaker 7: This is gonna be a physical game. Yeah, get freaking
Speaker 7: buckle up for getting the ice bath before the game,
Speaker 7: red lighte therapy, all the stuff. Get your massages now,
Speaker 7: acupuncture because this is gonna be physical, especially at the
Speaker 7: line of scrimmage and really out there receivers. If you
Speaker 7: want to catch the ball, you're getting hit. Okay, you
Speaker 7: guys are talking about trying to get to the seams.
Speaker 7: I don't believe this is a scene game. I really
Speaker 7: don't because because they're so physical at the second level,
Speaker 7: then they do such a good job of squeezing their guys.
Speaker 7: If you try to get to the seams, you're that
Speaker 7: safety is right there. It's not like our safeties. Their
Speaker 7: safety is gonna be sitting right there in a position
Speaker 7: to knock your head off right, and their corner is
Speaker 7: gonna be in there too, because he's gonna be sitting
Speaker 7: in your hipcke. So I do believe that this shallows
Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying, drive route concepts, little short
Speaker 7: things like that along with the consistent running game. If
Speaker 7: you're getting four yards of pop at the running game
Speaker 7: and you're getting five yard little chunks here and there
Speaker 7: with what your tight end or shallow rouse with turp
Speaker 7: or whoever, that's what I'm talking about, sustainable drive. You
Speaker 7: had to wear these guys down because now you're taking
Speaker 7: their intensity and you're using it against them, you know,
Speaker 7: because they're going to be aggressive, and you know, balls
Speaker 7: to the wall for that first little bit, and then
Speaker 7: it's like, all right, that's two first downs, you know, yeah,
Speaker 7: all right, you know what the heck's going on?
Speaker 1: How do we slow this down? Right? And then once
Speaker 1: you get to the fifty, you got points.
Speaker 7: You don't want to be kicking field goals, obviously, but
Speaker 7: at least you in your head, in their head, crap,
Speaker 7: they got.
Speaker 1: Points on you know what, else, you will be taking
Speaker 1: ownership of tumbel position, which keeps you in love and
Speaker 1: that extent. So on the satellite, you have to let
Speaker 1: the clock play.
Speaker 3: Things the way that guys teams played Mica in the past,
Speaker 3: where they go away from them constantly. Do you see
Speaker 3: Dallas doing anything similar to that? Or do you want
Speaker 3: them to go straight at them?
Speaker 1: I want to go at them.
Speaker 4: I think I want to go out him.
Speaker 7: There was a play, if anybody wants to go back
Speaker 7: and watch, at third quarter of the Cleveland brown game,
Speaker 7: twelve minute and thirty two seconds. Running back for the
Speaker 7: Cleveland Browns, Queen Shawn Jenkins literally goes out.
Speaker 1: And destroys Micah. Destroys Micah.
Speaker 7: They pulled the guard and pull the guard out to
Speaker 7: go block Mike on the left side. He quen sewn
Speaker 7: Jenkins comes outside and runs through Micah's shoulder.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, O, Michae didn't like that. Michael point
Speaker 1: and down. No, no, he didn't even point. He was
Speaker 1: on the ground. No, I mean after he got up,
Speaker 1: he was just see that.
Speaker 4: The film went and went to the next play.
Speaker 1: That's how long he was on the gross like, oh,
Speaker 1: so you made at the guy for bro, Listen, he
Speaker 1: ran through his whole soul he did. I'll bring it
Speaker 1: up for you. He took him off the ground.
Speaker 9: Bro.
Speaker 6: Now, anybody on the Cowboys dude, oh yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 6: you hope so. But as far as physic act physicality, goes.
Speaker 6: I don't know that you necessarily have those guys that
Speaker 6: are going to go at them in that way you hope.
Speaker 6: I mean, we're all here thinking and idealizing Dallas being
Speaker 6: physical against this team when you haven't necessarily said the past.
Speaker 6: But you have a different look, and you have Javonte Walling.
Speaker 3: You've at least seen flashes of it this year. I
Speaker 3: think there have been flashes of you being physical has
Speaker 3: been correct. When it hasn't been consistent, that's when it's
Speaker 3: been a problem. I thought they were physical against Philadelphia,
Speaker 3: they were physical in the second half against New York.
Speaker 3: They were physical in the first half, even after the
Speaker 3: fumble from Javonte Williams against Chicago when they went from
Speaker 3: down fourteen to three to tie at fourteen fourteen. But
Speaker 3: the fact of the matter is is it hasn't been consistent.
Speaker 1: I would prefer it has not. You have two backups,
Speaker 1: one at center, one a right guard. My concern there
Speaker 1: is pass pro so instead of that, give it to
Speaker 1: Davante and make them go right down here. That's what
Speaker 1: brought out they want to do anyway. Yeah, they want
Speaker 1: to fight, they want to engage. Let them clear lanes.
Speaker 1: You can move those guys. Yeah, let them, let them
Speaker 1: clear lanes like, don't ask them to no, no, no,
Speaker 1: go eat and eat hardy.
Speaker 6: And part of that part that is eating on first, chunky, chunky.
Speaker 6: You have to succeed on first. Second, ye can't put
Speaker 6: yourself you cannot put yourself in that.
Speaker 1: And don't come out throwing on first. Just just don't
Speaker 1: get don't get cute, don't get cute, don't get cute.
Speaker 4: Play physical.
Speaker 3: We're gonna go ahead and take our second break. When
Speaker 3: we come back, it's time for.
Speaker 1: Some lamp coat.
Speaker 3: What do you got?
Speaker 1: Oh, We're gonna talk about how just how important it
Speaker 1: is for the Cowboys to figure out a way, whatever
Speaker 1: it might be, whatever magic you might need to work.
Speaker 1: You cannot go down one in three to start the season.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to tell you try and.
Speaker 3: Get that magic. Roll in here with talking cowboys when
Speaker 3: we come back.
Speaker 1: I'm home.

Speaker 3: final segment with Patrick noc Walker, Josh Rodriguez, Isaiah stan Back,
Speaker 3: Chris Beaman, the back Gum, Kyle Yeoman's all right, Patrick,
Speaker 3: you have the floor for a little bit of science. Science.
Speaker 1: Yes, science is there, we go science lab coat. All right.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about starting a season a season record wise. Okay.
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys started off with an on to two.
Speaker 1: I'm one and two record escaped against the Giants. Cool beans,
Speaker 1: got wopped by the Bears. Not so cool beans, And
Speaker 1: here come the very pissed off Green Bay Packers on
Speaker 1: the heels of losing to the Cleveland Browns. Very very
Speaker 1: good Cleveland Browns defense, as your defense is still trying
Speaker 1: to figure out how to get from the bottom third.
Speaker 1: I think they're third worse than the league right now,
Speaker 1: the first of end of the ball. Yeah, not great,
Speaker 1: Bob MGB. So here's the thing. Shoddy is saying all
Speaker 1: the right things. I'm sure the coordinators will say all
Speaker 1: the right things. Every game is a must win, no
Speaker 1: matter what the record is. True enough, go one and
Speaker 1: oh this week? However, yeah, go one and oh this week. Cool,
Speaker 1: that's what you need to do. Here's why when an
Speaker 1: NFL team starts off at one and two, they have
Speaker 1: thirty percent chance of making the play. That's where the
Speaker 1: Cowboys are right now. Okay, not great, but it's it's workable. Okay,
Speaker 1: if they find a way to go to two and two,
Speaker 1: I don't care how you do it, just figured it out.
Speaker 1: If you figure out a way to shock the world
Speaker 1: and defeat the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night football,
Speaker 1: your odds jumped to forty two percent, a forty two
Speaker 1: percent chance of making the playoffs. Now you're flirting with
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty at that point as far as the
Speaker 1: odds are concerned, if you can just get to five
Speaker 1: hundred at two and two. However, if you lose this
Speaker 1: game and for all to one in three, your odds
Speaker 1: of making the playoffs become fifteen percent. One five. You
Speaker 1: have a fifteen percent chance of making the playoffs.
Speaker 4: Since fifteen out of thirty.
Speaker 1: No, oh, fifteen out of one hundred. That's not good, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because your math wasn't But I know you did, one person, Yeah,
Speaker 1: only fifteen percent. Since nineteen ninety, only twenty five teams
Speaker 1: who started one in three have actually made the play Else,
Speaker 1: none of those teams have made the conference championship. They
Speaker 1: respected championship, so massive, massive difference, nearly a thirty percentage
Speaker 1: point difference between starting two and two and starting one
Speaker 1: and three. So again, coaches are saying all the right things.
Speaker 1: Players are going to say all the right things. They
Speaker 1: need to get on the field and do the right thing,
Speaker 1: like Spike Lee. That's what you do that because otherwise
Speaker 1: otherwise you might as well start at least getting the
Speaker 1: boxes out. Not going to say it ends the season,
Speaker 1: but start dragon boxing. So this this is the definition
Speaker 1: of a must win game. You gotta have it. And
Speaker 1: I saw someone on Twitter made it. They made the
Speaker 1: next excellent point. I don't know if I subscribe to it,
Speaker 1: but they made an excellent point. We talked so frequently
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys over the years, and you know when
Speaker 1: they play a Saints team, was at a trap game?
Speaker 1: And was the Bears a trap game? Is this the
Speaker 1: Packers trap game?
Speaker 4: Certainly, hope, So.
Speaker 1: Something to consider or was that and answer the question?
Speaker 3: Or game last week?
Speaker 1: No, because of the Browns defense. They knew going in
Speaker 1: that the Browns defense was going to be a problem
Speaker 1: coming in to play the Cowboys, especially on the heels
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys offense losing Ceedeelamb Tyler Booker and struggling
Speaker 1: to score points against the Chicago Bears defense. The Packers
