Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football clubs.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 3: Are you ready for a break?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 5: Are you ready for a break? Absolutely?
Speaker 3: Ready for a break?
Speaker 6: Yeah, and so much for that.
Speaker 7: It's time for the Break. On Dallas Cowboys dot Com.
Speaker 7: Were with mbar Garcia. Brian brought us Patrick Walker and
Speaker 7: Derek Eagleton.
Speaker 8: Welcome back to another episode of the Break. That's kind
Speaker 8: of how No, I do not have the number, but uh, Patrick,
Speaker 8: go ahead and turn around. Let's let's start this conversation.
Speaker 8: We got Patrick, Brian and then me and we're gonna
Speaker 8: get this show rolling. We're gonna get into the whole
Speaker 8: scouting report offense Philadelphia Eagles offense versus the Cowboys defense.
Speaker 8: In the meantime, we're gonna start with a quick scouting
Speaker 8: no injury report on where we're at with injuries compared
Speaker 8: to what we had. Not much changing from yesterday.
Speaker 2: But the good news is you're only looking at two
Speaker 2: individuals as opposed to the laundry list that was, you know,
Speaker 2: prior to the bye week. But obviously Tyron Smith had
Speaker 2: the next thinger pop up last week and he was
Speaker 2: sidelined against the Los Angeles Rams. He's not expected to
Speaker 2: practice on today Wednesday. Per Mike McCarthy, he will be
Speaker 2: in the rehab group, so injury report should read d
Speaker 2: MP for him, which is did not participate Chummidoga. Some
Speaker 2: positive news there, obviously. He left the game against the
Speaker 2: Rams late with what's described as a low ankle injury,
Speaker 2: which is much much better than a high ankle injury.
Speaker 2: Evidence to that being, he will be He's expected to
Speaker 2: be limited today in practice. Tuma is which gives him
Speaker 2: a shot at taking the field on Sunday against the
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles. On yesterday, owner A general manager Jerry Jones
Speaker 2: told one oh five to three the Fan that it's
Speaker 2: quite likely, quite possible. I should say that both will
Speaker 2: take the field on Sunday, but he did say at
Speaker 2: least one of them likely would. So we'll see how
Speaker 2: the week goes. Obviously, you know, today, no Tyron Smith
Speaker 2: in practice. We'll see what it looks like on Thursday, and.
Speaker 8: Then if neither we saw.
Speaker 2: Neither, then it's going to be rookie fifth round pick
Speaker 2: Austin Richards.
Speaker 5: That's who came in for.
Speaker 2: You gotta taste, we gotta taste that last week when
Speaker 2: the doga exided and Richards, I mean, he can play
Speaker 2: some solid ball. I see a lot of potential for him,
Speaker 2: high ceiling guy, but this would definitely be you talk
Speaker 2: about throwing a guy in to the fire, this would
Speaker 2: be it. So if for whatever reason, and again the
Speaker 2: Cowboys are optimistic that one or both Idoga and or
Speaker 2: Tyron Smith will take the field, but if things go
Speaker 2: left and that's not the case, then yes, Richards would
Speaker 2: absolutely be thrown into the fire against argument the best
Speaker 2: defensive front in the NFL.
Speaker 8: All right, now, let's talk some trade trades that happened,
Speaker 8: trades that didn't happen. Cowboys, we know they should not
Speaker 8: make any news on headlines yesterday, but other teams did that,
Speaker 8: and we spent a whole chunk of yesterday's show talking
Speaker 8: about other teams who scared us what we thought and
Speaker 8: we did see the forty nine ers added extra talent
Speaker 8: to their defense. They made a trade with the Commanders
Speaker 8: to trade for Chase Young only for a third round pick,
Speaker 8: which was a pretty good deal, I would say. And
Speaker 8: then we had some other trades happening, but we wanted
Speaker 8: to get Bryan Lessar with you with just your your
Speaker 8: initial reaction to the trades that were happening yesterday.
Speaker 3: Forty nine Ers made a trade last year for Christian
Speaker 3: McCaffrey with the Carolina Panthers. It's often injured he had.
Speaker 3: If you look at his Carolina career, there was some
Speaker 3: absolute brilliance to it, but there was a lot of
Speaker 3: heartbreak along the way when it came to his availability
Speaker 3: and lack of The forty nine Ers made another trade
Speaker 3: this year, same situation, Chase Young. You look at him
Speaker 3: and where he was placed in a lot of scouts minds.
Speaker 3: You know, where it got of Ohio State. What you
Speaker 3: thought about him as a player, what you thought about
Speaker 3: him as a disruptive player, an edge rusher, a guy
Speaker 3: that they can put a lot of pressure on the quarterback,
Speaker 3: can play the run, but often injured. You know, there
Speaker 3: was some people in the commander's camp that were like,
Speaker 3: this guy's availability is very limited to what we're trying
Speaker 3: to do right now. And here the forty nine Ers
Speaker 3: they swoop in again. I think they've made two trades
Speaker 3: back to back that could absolutely help their football team.
Speaker 3: We've seen what Christian McCaffrey can do. Chase Young, He's
Speaker 3: played with Nick Bosett, Ohio State. They were a formidable
Speaker 3: pair there. It was a very much of a you know,
Speaker 3: a third round pick is something you could always recoup,
Speaker 3: it's something you can get. They're going to get that
Speaker 3: back up, I believe for Gin. Yeah, for McGlinchey. But
Speaker 3: they've also had some coaches that left staff. Now with
Speaker 3: the NFL the way it is, they give you compensatory
Speaker 3: picks if you have coaches, minority coaches, or coaches that
Speaker 3: leave and go somewhere else, And they lost a couple
Speaker 3: of coaches, so they're going to get that pick back.
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's a very very good deal for
Speaker 3: them to continue. The one thing the forty nine ers
Speaker 3: do when they get in trouble, they will add defensive linemen.
Speaker 3: You know, they're they're right now in a bad spot
Speaker 3: of the number of games they've lost, But to add
Speaker 3: Chase Young for a third round pick, to go along
Speaker 3: with Randy Gregory and to go around with the other
Speaker 3: defensive players that they have, you know, they're loading up
Speaker 3: with the possibility of not giving you the ability to
Speaker 3: throw the ball when you see them again the next
Speaker 3: time you get to meet them.
Speaker 2: I think it's a good deal for the forty nine
Speaker 2: ers and obviously well put when it comes to CMC
Speaker 2: my thing there is obviously that could be lightning in
Speaker 2: a bottle and you just never know. But kudos to
Speaker 2: them for what happened with McCaffrey. That's just been magnificent
Speaker 2: for them, and it's possible that, you know, Chase Young
Speaker 2: could be the same. But when you look at the
Speaker 2: risk reward, I mean, what did they risk? They risk
Speaker 2: the third round pick there they're going to get back
Speaker 2: anyway in the compensatory formula, So I mean that this
Speaker 2: is basically a freebie for them. So if Chase Young
Speaker 2: cannot stay healthy in San Francisco, then okay, you know,
Speaker 2: they let them walk in free agency next year and
Speaker 2: they get their third round pickback. But if he turns
Speaker 2: out to be an impact player and he comes anywhere
Speaker 2: near the potential of what he was at Ohio State,
Speaker 2: then they're that much more destructive as a defensive front.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's definitely a fantastic trade for them, and
Speaker 2: whether it works out or not, because again, if it
Speaker 2: doesn't work, they did it didn't cost him anything. Ultimately,
Speaker 2: if it does work, then there needle points that much
Speaker 2: more do North in the situation where they're on a
Speaker 2: three game slide and they're really trying to do whatever
Speaker 2: they can to stop that. This, you know, theoretically helps
Speaker 2: them stop that.
Speaker 8: So yeah, it's like someone feasting on food, like like
Speaker 8: like you already have your playful, you don't need to
Speaker 8: keep stacking on it, like leave it for some other people.
Speaker 8: I mean, everybody their chance to make whatever.
Speaker 3: That's you know, that's the question. I think the bigger
Speaker 3: question is that the Bears overpay for Sweat Montell. Sweat
Speaker 3: ends up in Chicago for a second round pick, and
Speaker 3: that pick's going to end up to be likely that
Speaker 3: maybe the first or second pick of the second round,
Speaker 3: which will be like picks thirty three, thirty four, it
Speaker 3: depending on where the Bears finished. So the Commander's pretty
Speaker 3: much cleaned up on that one. They've got probably they
Speaker 3: got to pick, you know, from the Bears for a
Speaker 3: player that they weren't going to re sign. But you know,
Speaker 3: so sometimes you overpay. I don't quite I understand the
Speaker 3: forty nine ers doing what they did. I don't understand
Speaker 3: the Bears doing what they did in their trade.
Speaker 2: I do think the Bears overpaid. I agree with you
Speaker 2: there yea, and we'll see.
Speaker 3: To me, Young, I think Young is more of a
Speaker 3: second round than a third round. But I think I
Speaker 3: think he's probably a better player than sweat me personally,
Speaker 3: you know, I just I don't know. I mean to me,
Speaker 3: it's it's one of those moves that the there's moves
Speaker 3: that were made. I didn't believe this, and I've said
Speaker 3: this too. Ezra Cleveland got the guard from the Minnesota Vikings,
Speaker 3: got traded to Jacksonville. And I've come on this program
Speaker 3: before and been adamant about how hard it is to
Speaker 3: get starting offensive lineman on a trade that that proved
Speaker 3: my point wrong right there. I mean, that is a
Speaker 3: starting caliber young offensive lineman that goes from one team
Speaker 3: to another. Now you have to do that when you
Speaker 3: have surplus. You know. Obviously the Vikings felt like that
Speaker 3: the Dalton Reisner is they added him, and they felt
Speaker 3: like that Dalton Reisner would probably be a better player.
Speaker 3: But there you go, a starting caliber offensive lineman goes
Speaker 3: from one team to another. And I've always believed that
Speaker 3: it was hard to get somebody to give you one
Speaker 3: of those one of those offensive line to find. They're
Speaker 3: hard to find and not everybody's willing to part but Minnesota.
Speaker 3: And here's Minnesota in an interesting situation because they go
Speaker 3: out and trade for Josh Dobbs, who we all know
Speaker 3: good and well from his days when he played at
Speaker 3: Arizona against the Cowboys. So here you are, they're going out.
Speaker 3: You know, here's a team that's right now four and four.
Speaker 3: They're thinking, like, we've won three straight, we're back in
Speaker 3: the hunt. You know, we don't have a quarterback, but
Speaker 3: we have to. We gotten quarterback, but we give up
Speaker 3: one of our starting offensive linemen. Boy, that's that's kind
Speaker 3: of an interesting, interesting dynamic. But let it be said
Speaker 3: now that people will be willing to give up starting
Speaker 3: caliber offensive lineman if you're willing to pay for him.
Speaker 2: And then you're talking about NFC East teams that acquired
Speaker 2: a second round pick for it, traight, I mean Leonard
Speaker 2: Williams Giants, So you know Giants and lend Williams over
Speaker 2: to the Seahawks, and the Cowboys will face him in
Speaker 2: week thirteen, the week after Thanksgiving, so you'll see him
Speaker 2: on a very good Seattle Seahawks team, like we talked
Speaker 2: about yesterday. But and we'll ultimately see what the Giants
Speaker 2: and Commanders do or not or don't do with those picks,
Speaker 2: because it's not like they've drafted well. But if we're
Speaker 2: focusing on the right now, I mean, two NFC East
Speaker 2: teams got weaker this week, and that's got to make
Speaker 2: the Cowboys feel that much more, that much better about
Speaker 2: their possibilities of taking this division. Of course, they have
Speaker 2: to go into Philadelphia and take care of business, that's
Speaker 2: job number one. But you're going against a Commander's front
Speaker 2: that was is arguably or inarguably one of the best
Speaker 2: in the league. Was the NFC East has defensive horses
Speaker 2: up front, like period, all four teams, but the Commanders
Speaker 2: have always given the Cowboys hell with this setup of
Speaker 2: a defense. But now you got two guys that are
Speaker 2: gone Montes Sweat and Sweat was he seemed to always
Speaker 2: find ways to wreck the games against the Cowboys. So
Speaker 2: that's not a situation you got to deal with. And
Speaker 2: you haven't even played them yet. So you got two
Speaker 2: games against the Commanders, you got another game against a
Speaker 2: weekend Giants defensive front who's coming to AT and T
Speaker 2: Stadium in a couple of weeks or so.
Speaker 8: So I mean, like, well, it ain't gonna happen this year.
Speaker 8: Might as well get a trap.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, they're driving the tank right now.
Speaker 3: I think Commanders are going to completely do what the
Speaker 3: Raiders just did. You know, we saw the Raiders move
Speaker 3: on from their head coach and move on from their
Speaker 3: general manager. You have new ownership there at the Commanders.
Speaker 3: I think this is one of those things that like,
Speaker 3: let's try and stock up some picks. Let's try and
Speaker 3: get a many with the Commanders. Gives me top one
Speaker 3: hundred picks, the possibility. You know, they're probably still going
Speaker 3: to be looking for a quarterback. They might finish poor
Speaker 3: enough that they, you know, have the opportunity to getting
Speaker 3: them that quarterback derby, but then they'll have some other
Speaker 3: picks to try and add some I always felt like
Speaker 3: that they were a quarterback away, but Ron Rivera does
Speaker 3: some crazy things like that that they've had Philadelphia on
Speaker 3: the ropes twice this year and couldn't finish the job
Speaker 3: either time. And so you know, you look at ownership
Speaker 3: and they say, well, you know what, we're probably going
Speaker 3: to bring our own guy in and here we go.
Speaker 3: And this is the start of it. But I mentioned
Speaker 3: what's going on with the Raiders. You know, they fired
Speaker 3: the general manager and the coach and the offensive coordinator
Speaker 3: you know here like halfway through the season.
Speaker 5: So while we were all sleeping.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that we're going to I think that
Speaker 3: we're going to think we're going to see more changes
Speaker 3: like that at the end of the season. There.
Speaker 8: Well, that's that's it really for any trade hopes that
Speaker 8: fans may have had. It did not happen. And the
Speaker 8: Cowboys and we've heard it. We talked about it on
Speaker 8: the show. How Jerry Jones and everybody here fully trust
Speaker 8: the talent that they currently have on the roster right now.
Speaker 8: And we mentioned it yesterday too. How after the win
Speaker 8: that you had against the Rams, coming off something like that,
Speaker 8: a performance where all three phases of the game played really,
Speaker 8: really well, it's hard to kind of.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my only fear is if something happens to one
Speaker 3: of these corners.
Speaker 5: I was literally just about that.
Speaker 2: That's my only thing is I would have done made
Speaker 2: a move for a cornerback depth and without saying the
Speaker 2: player's name, because we can't. There's a guy in the
Speaker 2: Windy City. I think the Cowboys might have been in on,
Speaker 2: but it sounds like just and have conversations that the
Speaker 2: price tag that that team had set for that player,
Speaker 2: no team was willing to go in for. So it's
Speaker 2: not that's not a situation where the Cowboys were alone
Speaker 2: and kind of tightened the person.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well not just that.
Speaker 2: I mean several other teams made a call for that
Speaker 2: particular player and that price tag was just like, no,
Speaker 2: we were just not doing it.
Speaker 3: That's why, well Rare schul Douglas went from Green Bay
Speaker 3: to Buffalo.
Speaker 5: So that you know you wasn't that a second rounder?
Speaker 3: That was a third I believe it was that. That
Speaker 3: was I think. I'm sorry, Please don't come at me
Speaker 3: if I'm wrong about that. I thought it was a
Speaker 3: third round pick that they gave up there. But to me,
Speaker 3: it was a premium pick. It was, Yeah, but it
Speaker 3: was a premium pick, is right. But to me though
Speaker 3: that that's the thing about it. And we talked about
Speaker 3: this yesterday and I just do believe it with my
Speaker 3: heart is that Will McClay goes to the coaching staff
Speaker 3: and he says, hey, how can I help you? And
Speaker 3: the coaches say, I don't We're good, We're good. I
Speaker 3: don't want to change. I don't want to I don't
Speaker 3: want to do anything different. I'm happy with my guys,
Speaker 3: and you know, so there's a lot about that we
Speaker 3: can kind of jump on the front office for the
Speaker 3: lack of movement, and of the teams that are in
Speaker 3: the playoff hunt right now, the Cowboys were the only
Speaker 3: team in the NFC that didn't make a move. Everybody
Speaker 3: else Detroit, Philadelphia. I mean, all these teams made moves
Speaker 3: to try and at least add a player. But like
Speaker 3: I say, sometimes coaches just say I don't want any No,
Speaker 3: let's not bring anybody else in. We're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 3: play with these guys. And you know, we don't know that.
Speaker 3: I've been on STAPs where that has happened, where the
Speaker 3: coaches just say, no, I just don't don't do it,
Speaker 3: don't do it. We're good and you you you don't
Speaker 3: want to ever bring somebody in for a coach, and
Speaker 3: then they don't want the player and don't want to
Speaker 3: play the player, and then it turns into a bunch
Speaker 3: of butting us of heads and and ultimately it kind
Speaker 3: of fractures the group and the trust.
Speaker 2: Was smell of tuna in that conversation. That smells like
Speaker 2: tuna no, it's.
Speaker 3: Uh, you know we No, No, Bill was. Bill was
Speaker 3: always interested in adding players. But he also though you
Speaker 3: almost like I said, I I I believe I got
Speaker 3: fired here because I ought too hard for for Charles Woodson,
Speaker 3: you know, and I basically I took it personal and
Speaker 3: I shouldn't have taken it personally. I was too young
Speaker 3: in the department, and I knew that Charles Woodson we
Speaker 3: were a bad team, and I'm trying to help. I'm
Speaker 3: trying to get players here. We don't have any players.
Speaker 3: And uh, and ultimately that that's what, you know, what
Speaker 3: got me fired with Bill. I mean that Bill and
Speaker 3: I go way, way way back to when he was
Speaker 3: in New England and I was in Green Bay and
Speaker 3: we had a great relationship, and then he came here.
Speaker 3: I'm so glad he came here. I really was. After
Speaker 3: being five and eleven three straight years, I'm thinking, thank God,
Speaker 3: we're gonna we're gonna kind of get these things turned around. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we're gonna turn this thing around. We're gonna be okay.
Speaker 3: And then and then ultimately, when you start to battle
Speaker 3: the head coach on players, the head coach journally will win.
Speaker 3: I was I was too stupid to realize that I
Speaker 3: was fighting something bigger than what I was fighting. And
Speaker 3: that's that Ultimately, you gotta be careful of that. You know,
Speaker 3: when you you don't want to push for something, that
Speaker 3: that the person send in charge is ultimately saying no,
Speaker 3: I don't want to you know, I don't want to
Speaker 3: do this, So always be careful of that.
Speaker 2: And the Cowboys, like you said, number, their roster is
Speaker 2: sit and this is what they got until March as
Speaker 2: far as trades are concerned. So yeah, yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: at the end of the day though, they're still five
Speaker 2: and two, so that's that there's promise there. They just
Speaker 2: played their first mostly complete game, and I mean even still,
Speaker 2: that could have been a slightly cleaner game, which should
Speaker 2: give some more optimism as far as what this team
Speaker 2: can actually be.
Speaker 5: But again, it starts.
Speaker 2: Because they failed the They failed the first test at it.
Speaker 2: Here comes the midterm. They have to pass this midterm.
Speaker 8: Wa big and hard midterm coming up. So let's take
Speaker 8: our first break. When we come back, we're gonna get
Speaker 8: into the whole breakdown of the Philadelphia Eagles offense.
Speaker 9: After this break, Todd thought it would be secure to
Speaker 9: jog in the cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big
Speaker 9: Cat repelling he bought online was reliable, and now Todd
Speaker 9: is trying to be faster than this cheetah that can
Speaker 9: run eighty miles per hour. But the good news is
Speaker 9: Todd has AT and T five G. It is fast, reliable,
Speaker 9: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do
Speaker 9: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the

Speaker 8: Okay, before we get into the Scotty Report, let's just
Speaker 8: mention real quick, Brandon Aubrey. He was It was just
Speaker 8: announced that he won NFC Player of the Week Special
Speaker 8: Teams Player of the Week. Congratulations once again, will deserve
Speaker 8: butter shutting people up in this podcast, but no, great job.
Speaker 8: He's done, an amazing job.
Speaker 5: We're huge fans of butter now, we're huge fans.
Speaker 3: We love him, we love it all right, training camp
Speaker 3: and kind of like that overly buttered popcorn you get
Speaker 3: in a movie.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a little too much.
Speaker 8: But then but then, but then you keep wanting.
Speaker 3: More but buttered popcorn.
Speaker 8: You start looking at your fingers like.
Speaker 2: Nice, Butterney. We're just grocery shopping this, Yeah, Cowboys.
Speaker 8: All right. I don't want to hear any of this
Speaker 8: that Brian is about to say, but let's hear. We
Speaker 8: got to uh Jalen Hurst. Let's start with the quarterback
Speaker 8: of the Eagles and how he's looking right now and
Speaker 8: some of the things that he's currently doing this season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if he's completely healthy right now,
Speaker 3: to be honest with you, guys, when you watch him
Speaker 3: on tape, the word is that he might be dealing
Speaker 3: with a bone bruise on his knee, and so we
Speaker 3: need to kind of keep an eye on that. But
Speaker 3: he's still still playing at a high level. Though the
Speaker 3: interceptions are a problem for him. He's taken some chances
Speaker 3: on some deep balls that have been a little bit
Speaker 3: of problematic for him, but the strength of his game
Speaker 3: is to be able to play on the move. We
Speaker 3: all kind of understand that with him, but he just
Speaker 3: doesn't appear in the games that I studied that he
Speaker 3: was really interested in running unless he absolutely has to,
Speaker 3: and so might be a little bit of a different
Speaker 3: quarterback there with the Cowboys. When you see him this week,
Speaker 3: the thing that you have to do against Jalen Hurts,
Speaker 3: absolutely have to do this against him, is you have
Speaker 3: to make him hold the ball. He has a different
Speaker 3: quarterback when he has to deal with pressure, his accuracy
Speaker 3: tends to fade and then the turnovers creep into his game.
Speaker 3: Five of his eight interceptions are those when he's had
Speaker 3: to deal with pressure. So the longer you can make
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts hold the ball, move move, move, back up,
Speaker 3: back up, move, the likelihood he's either going to throw
Speaker 3: it away or you can possibly get an interception. Maybe
Speaker 3: that he'll force the ball on you a little bit.
Speaker 3: He is teams they've kind of played him in a
Speaker 3: way where they when you watch the tape, it's more
Speaker 3: of man coverage. I was surprised how much man coverage
Speaker 3: that he faces. There's especially with that receiving crew that
Speaker 3: he has. But they play teams play a lot of
Speaker 3: man coverage, and he's only really a sixty four percent
Speaker 3: passer when he faces all this man coverage. So maybe
Speaker 3: people are looking at the metrics, but you could definitely
Speaker 3: see it on tape that they're trying to kind of
Speaker 3: cover his guys, uh and then make him have to
Speaker 3: make some of those throws. Where they kill you is
Speaker 3: in a couple of different areas well.
Speaker 8: For you were gonna keep telling you about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just gonna say real quick, one of
Speaker 3: the two areas that he that he kills you is
Speaker 3: the deep ball is a problem, and then also the screens.
Speaker 3: That's when when he's when he's throwing the ball down
Speaker 3: the field deep balls, he's almost a fifty percent passer,
Speaker 3: and the majority of his touchdowns had been throwing throwing
Speaker 3: like the go routes to the guys. They got receivers
Speaker 3: that have the ability to get down the field and
Speaker 3: can separate, and Hurts will just launch that thing. And
Speaker 3: he's taken twenty three deep shots this year. He's got
Speaker 3: six touchdowns, and every one of them are just he's
Speaker 3: kind where they just blow past, they get they get
Speaker 3: separation at the line, or they'll they'll be like they'll
Speaker 3: be like zone coverage and then they'll just run pie
Speaker 3: by the cornerbacks and then he'll just launch the ball.
Speaker 8: And sometimes those screens can be pretty successful.
Speaker 3: Like the screens, Yeah, he is. He is. When he
Speaker 3: throws the ball in the flat, this is where the
Speaker 3: touch and the accuracy, and like they do a lot
Speaker 3: of wide receiver screens, they to screens the tight end,
Speaker 3: they do screens to the back. So he's kind of
Speaker 3: throwing the ball around the line of scrimmage. But it's
Speaker 3: kind of like it. It kind of lulls you into
Speaker 3: some sleep where you're like, okay, short, short, short, and
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden it goes over the top
Speaker 3: and now you're dealing with that. So I think that
Speaker 3: the passes he throws, those screen type passes or the
Speaker 3: underneath passes, those are the ones that start out small
Speaker 3: and then they end up being huge with run after
Speaker 3: catch with these guys, they are really really good at that.
Speaker 3: But he doesn't miss those passes on the flats or
Speaker 3: underneath or anything down the field. In the middle of
Speaker 3: the field is when he tends to have a little
Speaker 3: bit of problem. But you got to get pressure on
Speaker 3: this guy. Every quarterback, you have to get pressure, but
Speaker 3: it really affects him. The longer he has to hold
Speaker 3: the ball, he kind of loses track where he is
Speaker 3: and he loses track of where everything is down the field.
Speaker 3: So coverage on the outside pressure somehow makes him become
Speaker 3: a different quarter.
Speaker 2: You know what's very interesting about Jalen Hurts, in addition
Speaker 2: to everything that Brian is saying, is that he's much
Speaker 2: more comfortable throwing to the left of the line of
Speaker 2: scrimmage if you go back, and this is obviously the
Speaker 2: next gen stance, which is just phenomenal. Of his eight
Speaker 2: interceptions that he's thrown, six of them have been to
Speaker 2: the right of the line of scrimmage. He's thrown six
Speaker 2: interceptions when forced to throw to that right, but he
Speaker 2: has six touchdowns six of his touchdowns when forced to
Speaker 2: throw to the left, with no interceptions in that area.
Speaker 2: And I'm talking deep, shallow, and in the flat. So
Speaker 2: his if you're looking for a weakness in his game,
Speaker 2: and additional weakness of his game force him to stay
Speaker 2: right as far as his progressions. Once he comes across
Speaker 2: back left, that's when you're really going to get in trouble.
Speaker 2: So that is very interesting something to keep an eye
Speaker 2: out on for the Cowboys. Maybe they can bring that
Speaker 2: pressure and keep him turned this way, right, because then
Speaker 2: that's a liability for him.
Speaker 3: When they been teams. You used to be with Russell
Speaker 3: Wilson with this, heahawks because how short he was. You
Speaker 3: make him play backwards, you know, and when Russell Wilson
Speaker 3: would play backwards, he can't throw the ball over the
Speaker 3: top because he can't see well. With hurts. When you
Speaker 3: see him start to drift and he goes back and
Speaker 3: he drifts and he just keeps drifting and that usually
Speaker 3: that usually spells problems for him. It's when he and
Speaker 3: I don't think he wants to run now now, maybe
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be dead balls wrong about this. When it
Speaker 3: comes up. He does not look like the same and
Speaker 3: maybe he's play a possum on us right now, kind
Speaker 3: of acting like he's hurt, but he's not. But you
Speaker 3: watch the tape, he's not really interested in running with
Speaker 3: the ball. He just that's not his you know, especially
Speaker 3: like you look at the Commanders game this past week,
Speaker 3: it just wasn't that that wasn't the case.
Speaker 8: Is he the type of player when that when you
Speaker 8: get enough pressure on him, does that begin to wear
Speaker 8: as the game goes on as far as like how
Speaker 8: focus his stays in the game, or does that messes
Speaker 8: up his confidence?
Speaker 3: I think he's always been a confident player. And I
Speaker 3: understand what you're saying, Like, if you keep hitting him,
Speaker 3: hitting him, hitting him, is he going to make more
Speaker 3: mistakes and stuff?
Speaker 8: Well, knowing that he's already hurt, right, he's dealing with.
Speaker 3: That right right. His offensive line helps him so much
Speaker 3: and a lot of this stuff. I mean, I if
Speaker 3: his confidence is going to go away, it's because his
Speaker 3: offensive line has completely falling apart, and they normally don't
Speaker 3: do that.
Speaker 8: All right, let's take our final break. When we come back,
Speaker 8: we'll get right into the offensive line and some of
Speaker 8: those guys what they have against this Cowboys defensive line.

Speaker 3: more info. You're going out and seeing them with the
Speaker 3: Christmas pig out there.
Speaker 8: It's a very very nice show. I haven't done that
Speaker 8: because he was too little, but maybe this time around,
Speaker 8: a very very nice fun show for the family and
Speaker 8: everyone to cool. Yeah, really cool. All right, let's dive
Speaker 8: right into this O line. We're running out of time,
Speaker 8: I feel, with so much information that's still left to
Speaker 8: be discussed. So tell me a very very impressive line
Speaker 8: that they have.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is very impressive. Impressive. The way they play,
Speaker 3: I think with the Jordan may Alatta and Lane Johnson
Speaker 3: at tackles, I think that really is the anchor where
Speaker 3: they're at.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 3: They don't give these guys a lot of help. They
Speaker 3: block one on one. Lane Johnson's the better of the
Speaker 3: app athlete. My Loota is the bigger of the guy.
Speaker 3: You don't want to just run right in down the
Speaker 3: middle of my Alotta. He will cause all kinds of
Speaker 3: problems for you that way, with his strength and his power.
Speaker 3: You've got to try and work the edges and you
Speaker 3: can't both these guys do a great job almost the
Speaker 3: point of cheating the snap, and when I mean cheating
Speaker 3: the snap the way they kick away. They have incredible
Speaker 3: vision to the inside to be able to see when
Speaker 3: when Kelsey snaps the ball and they're moving actually as
Speaker 3: the ball is being moved as well. Sometimes they might
Speaker 3: be a little early and officials give him and they
Speaker 3: line up a little deeper at times to try and
Speaker 3: help themselves, but they get away with it. But these
Speaker 3: tackles are really really good. I like DeMarcus Lawrence though
Speaker 3: against Lane Johnson on this one though, I think there's
Speaker 3: been times where he has been really good against him
Speaker 3: because he understands how to break Lane Johnson down, like
Speaker 3: with his hands with it the way he rushes him
Speaker 3: that you know, Lane Johnson at times has had problems
Speaker 3: getting his hands on him. He's been able to dip
Speaker 3: him a couple of times, so that's a that's a
Speaker 3: tough matchup for Johnson. DeMarcus really really has a good
Speaker 3: feel for how to play them. If you if I
Speaker 3: think inside where the Eagles might have a little bit
Speaker 3: of a weakness is h Suya of PETSA as, and
Speaker 3: I think a Petsa is the is the He's right
Speaker 3: now he's playing in the lineup because of Cam jurgens
Speaker 3: As being out at guard. And but you see with
Speaker 3: the Petsa, he's one of those guys that win. He
Speaker 3: gets a little tall and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: like teams will run into him and get under him
Speaker 3: and you can carry him back in the pocket. Now,
Speaker 3: the problem with the Eagles is they play like ninety
Speaker 3: eight percent of the time, they're going to be in shotgun.
Speaker 3: So if you're going to drive him to the quarterback,
Speaker 3: it's probably going to be a shotgun depth. It's not
Speaker 3: going to be like take the snap and then drop
Speaker 3: and then make that push. But this is a team
Speaker 3: that does a good job with their pin and poll
Speaker 3: stuff that we the Cowboys have trouble with. They can
Speaker 3: zone block it, they can morph into whatever they're going
Speaker 3: to do running the football. They just they get in
Speaker 3: that sidecar, look they hand the ball, or they get
Speaker 3: pistol behind and they hand the ball. And but this
Speaker 3: line will they got some bully mentality to them, and
Speaker 3: the way they come off the football, they'll get into you.
Speaker 3: They'll push if you try and get up the field.
Speaker 3: They'll just kind of take you wherever you want to go.
Speaker 3: They're not really trying to just totally hammer you, but
Speaker 3: they'll but they get into you, kind of knock you
Speaker 3: around a little bit, and if you want to go
Speaker 3: up the field, they'll just wheel you up the field
Speaker 3: and then their backs will make the cuts from that.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I feel like though that's it's it's one
Speaker 3: of those lines that that is really good with their
Speaker 3: athletic ability, they got the size. Jason Kelsey, he's nearing
Speaker 3: the end of a really outstanding career at center. What
Speaker 3: he lacks in power, he makes up with this old
Speaker 3: fashioned smarts. He's been a really good foot athlete throughout
Speaker 3: his career. He's a position blocker. He can reach, scoop,
Speaker 3: grab you, turn you. He's perfect for what they do
Speaker 3: with their pin and pull stuff. He's not gonna over.
Speaker 3: I would take advantage of him by putting somebody on
Speaker 3: his nose and making him have to take that guy
Speaker 3: one on one. And he's a little bit of a
Speaker 3: different center when he's when he has a bubble over him,
Speaker 3: when there's no when there's nobody over the top of him,
Speaker 3: I would make him have to snap, play the power
Speaker 3: game and try and do those kinds of things, because
Speaker 3: you can kind of make him get pushed back a
Speaker 3: little bit because of the lack of power. But this
Speaker 3: is a this is a pretty damn good offensive line
Speaker 3: from the five guys across that they've got.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and it's it's a strength against strength
Speaker 2: when you look at the strength of the offensive line
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia versus the strength of the Cowboys defensive line,
Speaker 2: and that's across the board, and particularly we keep talking
Speaker 2: about a guy like Osa and Cowboys are going to
Speaker 2: need him to step up again and as he's continued
Speaker 2: to do and I'm confident that he can do it
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia. But what will help the Philadelphia Eagles, and
Speaker 2: hopefully this is not going to be allowed by the
Speaker 2: Cowboys and or Jalen hurts his knee, because I do
Speaker 2: think that they're understand what's going on there is as
Speaker 2: long as Jalen Hurts is forced to play inside the pocket,
Speaker 2: then the Cowboys defensive line has that much better of
Speaker 2: a chance of winning those one on one matchups up front.
Speaker 2: It's when Jalen hurts, it provides the threat of you know,
Speaker 2: stretching the line and getting off those edges. That's when
Speaker 2: you kind of have to try to worry if you
Speaker 2: got to play the lateral game, you got to play
Speaker 2: east and west in addition to North South. If you
Speaker 2: can just get these guys, the Cowboys defensive line on
Speaker 2: me playing North South, they have a much better chance
Speaker 2: of doing things like pushing back Kelsey and getting the
Speaker 2: best of some of those other guys like Maya Lotta
Speaker 2: who's I mean, the strength that guy's are forced. So
Speaker 2: just don't don't let Jalen Hurts in that running game.
Speaker 2: And I'm talking about the backs as well. DeAndre Swift obviously,
Speaker 2: who is much better on the outside in space, then
Speaker 2: he would be doing the dirty work in those interior gaps.
Speaker 2: Keep those guys running up the middle and keep Jalen
Speaker 2: Hurts contained, and you can win those battles more often
Speaker 2: than not. You're not going to win every single battle
Speaker 2: against this Eagles offensive line, but if you do those
Speaker 2: two things and just make them play North South, then
Speaker 2: you have a much better chance of winning more often
Speaker 2: than not.
Speaker 3: He had to Patrick's point though, and then we were
Speaker 3: talking about the quarterback. Seventy six percent of those metrics
Speaker 3: will tall you seventy six percent of the time the
Speaker 3: snaps the snaps quarterback is going to throw from the pocket,
Speaker 3: So there obviously is something going on with his health
Speaker 3: that he is you know, he's more committed to throwing
Speaker 3: the ball in the middle of the pocket than he
Speaker 3: is throwing it on the outside.
Speaker 8: Well, let's talk about some of the weapons that he
Speaker 8: has in the passing games.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. We all understand. If you're you're fantasy
Speaker 3: football player or whatever you know, you understand you who
Speaker 3: Aj Brown is. He's one of the best deep threats
Speaker 3: in the NFL today. He's a big body guy and
Speaker 3: once he gets that big body going, he could be
Speaker 3: tough to stop. I mean, he does an outstand a job.
Speaker 3: He tracks the ball really well. You know, the Hurts
Speaker 3: does a great job of putting the ball right on
Speaker 3: him in stride. And you tend to have opportunities, a
Speaker 3: lot of opportunities because teams don't always play these guys,
Speaker 3: Like I said, when they play him in man coverage,
Speaker 3: it's a little bit of a different game for them.
Speaker 3: But when they play off, these guys can just eat
Speaker 3: you up. Much like what the Cowboys do. You give
Speaker 3: them free access and routes, they run their routes, they
Speaker 3: catch the ball, and then they're up the field. So
Speaker 3: I would try and disrupt him as much as I
Speaker 3: could at the line. I know it's a big body guy.
Speaker 3: I know that could be a problem for Gilmore and
Speaker 3: guys like that, but I think if you give him
Speaker 3: a free run up the field. These routes are not complex.
Speaker 3: They really aren't. When you watch, I'm thinking, oh, it's
Speaker 3: the Rams, it's the forty nine ers. A lot of
Speaker 3: their stuff is on the short yarded stuff. It's combination
Speaker 3: between a tight end and a receiver, and there's a
Speaker 3: lot of picks, and it's inside out, inside out, and
Speaker 3: down the field. It's up in the middle. A lot
Speaker 3: of the balls are thrown towards the middle.
Speaker 8: Execute it.
Speaker 3: They just do a great job of executing what they
Speaker 3: have and the quarterback finds a way to gain They
Speaker 3: got protection, they get the routes executed. But it's not
Speaker 3: something that's just this blow your mind kind of route combinations.
Speaker 3: It's a pretty simple way of playing football. But they
Speaker 3: get protection, they get their quarterback gets the ball out
Speaker 3: to him, and then they got guys that can finish
Speaker 3: on the play. So I'm not gonna let these guys
Speaker 3: have any free access in routes. I'm just gonna make him.
Speaker 3: It all goes back to my plan of making Hurts
Speaker 3: have to hold the football. The longer he has to throw,
Speaker 3: the better off. Yeah. Yeah, exactly when he holds the ball,
Speaker 3: he's gonna have some problems. That's what they need to
Speaker 3: kind of focus on in this game. Him and then
Speaker 3: I'm talking about Brandon and also Smith Smith, the DeVonta.
Speaker 3: Smith doesn't have the physical size of Brown, but his
Speaker 3: downfield presence is just as impressive. Where he is really
Speaker 3: good is when they do what I call that two
Speaker 3: man game where his routes will take him inside and
Speaker 3: then there'll be a pick or like he's really good
Speaker 3: on when they need six seven yards on the outside.
Speaker 3: He runs outs all day. He is a throw it
Speaker 3: to him, catch tap tap, Throw it to him, catch
Speaker 3: tap tap. He's one of those guys when it comes
Speaker 3: to running the out routes and stuff. He's super comfortable,
Speaker 3: no one getting past the sticks, coming to the sticks,
Speaker 3: catching the ball, and then getting the first down.
Speaker 2: I think this is a game where I would love
Speaker 2: to stick Bland on AJ Brown as much as possible.
Speaker 2: Bland is going to be your most physical guy, and
Speaker 2: a great point from Brian. You want to try to
Speaker 2: disrupt AJ Brown at the line of scrimmage, Bland is
Speaker 2: going to give you the best opportunity to do that.
Speaker 2: The question then becomes, how can the Cowboys keep a shifty,
Speaker 2: quick guy like Davonte Smith from potentially, you know, dragging
Speaker 2: an older Stefan Gilmour across the middle of the field
Speaker 2: and getting some of those ends the little slants. Be
Speaker 2: interesting to see how they attack that. I think that
Speaker 2: also goes to the linebackers. They're going to have to
Speaker 2: help save safeties obviously as well. But let's not forget
Speaker 2: we're talking about AJ Brown rightfully. So that's a guy
Speaker 2: who has over nine hundred yards in his first eight games.
Speaker 2: He's just monster right now. Dallas Goddard, he can change
Speaker 2: the game for you as well. So paging j Ron
Speaker 2: Curse because this is a big assignment for jay Ron Curse.
Speaker 5: A tight end.
Speaker 3: Yeah, neither one of these tight ends can block Dallas
Speaker 3: Goddard and Jack Stole or really not that great of blockers.
Speaker 3: But where I worry about Dallas Goddard is this They're
Speaker 3: eight for eight on throwing screens to this guy. That's
Speaker 3: where that's where all of a sudden he's blocking. He's blocking,
Speaker 3: you lose track of he's blocking, and now he goes
Speaker 3: out and they throw him a screen, and you know,
Speaker 3: delayed screens just turn the mean and you just kind
Speaker 3: of like act like you're blocking. Turn around, get everybody upfield.
Speaker 3: Dallas has proven they really haven't been playing the screens
Speaker 3: all that well. I guarantee you we're going to see
Speaker 3: some screens in this game. Dallas. Goddard though eight for
Speaker 3: eight and when you throw him the screen he had.
Speaker 3: One of those was a for a touchdown that I saw.
Speaker 3: So there's no question that the Eagles are going to
Speaker 3: use him in that way. Delay, you know, loose track
Speaker 3: of where he is, and then throw them the football.
Speaker 2: And I know we're about to wrap up the final
Speaker 2: segment before we do. I'd be remiss if I didn't
Speaker 2: point off we didn't talk about the Toush push obviously,
Speaker 2: and how the Cowboys are going to have a challenge
Speaker 2: and stuff in that. But I think the Eagles made
Speaker 2: kind of a mistake last week against the Commanders in
Speaker 2: revealing a wrinkle they did not have to reveal out
Speaker 2: of that toush push. I think it was thirty one
Speaker 2: twenty six, yeah, and third and one and they're deep
Speaker 2: in the red zone and instead of they line up
Speaker 2: for the toush push, but they handed off to Devonte Smith,
Speaker 2: which stole and Godard as the blockers on the outside
Speaker 2: and not Davonte Smith DeAndre Swift. Yeah, and DeAndre Swift
Speaker 2: basically just walks in. So they've basically shown the Cowboys that, hey,
Speaker 2: that's a possibility. So I would love the Cowboys to
Speaker 2: keep that in mind because that means not every time
Speaker 2: they line up for that touch push are they actually
Speaker 2: going to do it.
Speaker 5: So keep at least keep.
Speaker 2: One of your linebackers honest back there and ask your
Speaker 2: big boys up front to stop that toush push because
Speaker 2: otherwise somebody's going to leak out the back.
Speaker 3: Didn't you guys ask Dan Quinn about this the other
Speaker 3: day about didn't he say he had some type of
Speaker 3: plan or what they had some they were going to
Speaker 3: try and do.
Speaker 8: So, yeah, everybody else some type of plan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've seen everybody has a plan for this until
Speaker 3: it actually until they run it and it's a first
Speaker 3: down that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: I just think the Eagles did the Cowboys a favored
Speaker 2: by revealing that wrinkle, Yeah, when they didn't have to
Speaker 2: because they hadn't revealed that wrinkle yet.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like Bones showing that he could throw
Speaker 3: the ball at a golstin on a field when he
Speaker 3: really didn't have to.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Well, before we end the segment, I know Patrick
Speaker 8: talked a little bit about Swift the running back and
Speaker 8: what they're doing, But anything else you want to add
Speaker 8: on how the running game is currently going for them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you know, I can say Swift's averaging almost
Speaker 3: almost five yards of carry and like Patrick was talking about,
Speaker 3: he's going to try and run it inside, but I
Speaker 3: think he's a little bit more successful off the edges.
Speaker 3: But like he's not he doesn't have the the elusiveness
Speaker 3: you know of gain Well. Game was a little bit.
Speaker 3: Gain Will doesn't have the yards. But there was a
Speaker 3: sneaky run that gain Will had against the against the
Speaker 3: Patriots where he kind of took it inside and then
Speaker 3: he bounced it outside and then they were on the
Speaker 3: edge and then you know, it was a problem. It
Speaker 3: was one of his longer gains of the year. But
Speaker 3: Swift is extremely tough they use him, they emptied the formation.
Speaker 3: They'll throw him the football too. That's another thing that
Speaker 3: they kind of like to do with him. But the
Speaker 3: running style is pretty similar to what the Cowboys have
Speaker 3: been facing here the last several weeks. Downhill physical runners
Speaker 3: get you know, not these home run kind of hitters
Speaker 3: of backs. I didn't feel like that. It was everything
Speaker 3: would seem like he was getting tackled three, four or
Speaker 3: five yards, you know, in that situation. But a lot
Speaker 3: of inside runs, trying to be physical, handed off, see
Speaker 3: if he can make the cut and and just power
Speaker 3: over people.
Speaker 2: And the confidence here is I don't see Swift now.
Speaker 5: He's because he's not the same swift he was at Uga.
Speaker 2: I don't see him much different from trying to defend
Speaker 2: Austin Eckler, for example, And you saw how the Cowboys
Speaker 2: were able to use Markey's bell and help bottle up
Speaker 2: Austin Eckler. I think that would be a similar game
Speaker 2: plan to try to bottle up DeAndre Swift as well.
Speaker 8: So for this one, you could basically say the Cowboys,
Speaker 8: the Cowboys defense has bigger problems to deal with than
Speaker 8: focusing on the running game.
Speaker 3: If the quarter, yeah, if the quarterbacks really be If
Speaker 3: the quarterback is banged up, that that that is a
Speaker 3: clear advantage for the Cowboys because anything to keep him
Speaker 3: from running will be Now everything could change. He could say, Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm hurt, but I'm still going to run. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: if he if it doesn't look like he is really
Speaker 3: really interested in doing it right now.
Speaker 8: At this point of the season, obviously, I mean at
Speaker 8: any point you always got to protect and worry about
Speaker 8: your quarterback in their health.
Speaker 2: One reason the Cowboys and Deck hadn't been running until
Speaker 2: the past couple of weeks. So I mean again risk
Speaker 2: mitigation because at this point of the season, you still
Speaker 2: have a lot of football left to play. And Jalen
Speaker 2: Hurts has to ask himself whenever he takes off the
Speaker 2: run with a knee that we think might be worse
Speaker 2: off than what you're letting on. He has to consider
Speaker 2: like is it worth? Is this first down worth? You know,
Speaker 2: possibly losing the next several games because he's sidelined with
Speaker 2: the worst knee injury. So the fact that he might
Speaker 2: have to process that in his head. Again, that goes
Speaker 2: to adding leverage to the Conchers defense.
Speaker 3: To your question, They've got a lot of things to
Speaker 3: worry about with you.
Speaker 8: They got plenty all right. Well, that is all the
Speaker 8: time we have for today. Thank you so much, Brian, Patrick.
Speaker 8: We'll be back tomorrow where Brian's gonna break down the
Speaker 8: whole Philadelphia defense versus the Cowboys offense for Patrick Walker,
Speaker 8: Brian brad Us I remember yar. Yeah, this has been
Speaker 8: the break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.
Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
