It's a documentary, but it's every 69 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: season and there's like three seasons now. This fourth one 70 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: has just been unbelievable. So I cannot wait for the 71 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: season one.

Yeah, alrighty, We've never been 81 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: one to dive into that competition to do that now. Yeah, 82 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: let's we'll just keep doing our keep doing our thing, 83 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: have some fun, focus on what we can control, right, guys, 84 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: That's how we do it. So do the guys. What's 85 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: the schedule this week? Players are back in the building 86 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: today and just start a normal week. Finally, I think 87 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: they're off tomorrow and then get back to work practice 88 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. So they had Friday, Saturday, Sunday off three 89 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: straight days. Oh that's nice. And then today they're back 90 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: but it's just meetings and workouts. Tomorrow completely off again, 91 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: which believes so yeah, and then Wednesday full padded practice. 92 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: Thursday probably a lighter practice, padded practice normally the padded 93 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: practices or Thursday, Oh okay, those are the those are 94 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: the big days of the week. They're running out of 95 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: padded practices. I don't know how many they have left. 96 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: Teams get an allotment every week. I know Isaiah loves this. 97 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: They're running out of padded practices. It's probably only two 98 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: or three left for those For those of you at 99 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: home listening to talking Cowboys and not watching you could 100 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: probably hear Isaiah is madness. Were you good for them? 101 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: Were they doing two days when you can days? Get 102 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: real to? Day twenty eleven was the lockout and that's 103 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: when everything that's anything changed. Yeah, yeah, I came in 104 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: a No. Seven. So what was that like compared to 105 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: what they have today? It's this is this is fluff. 106 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: They get't pay more money than their bodies are less 107 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: wearing tear on their bodies during the week. It's great 108 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: for them, right, I mean that's what they great job, 109 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: you know, a great job negotiating that. We just didn't 110 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: have that luxury. Did you have an opportunity late in 111 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: your career to have that sort of schedule? It eased 112 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: up towards the end of my career, it did ease 113 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: up where we would have one practice and one walkthrough. 114 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: That's what I think our two a days ended up 115 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: turning into and we were like laughing. Everybody was like, 116 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: are you serious right now? So that was kind of 117 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: the start of it. But now this days off during 118 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: the week, are you kidding me? Like, no, that wasn't 119 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: a thing. That was not a thing. It ramped up, 120 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: It ramped up quickly, It's a delicate balance because you're 121 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: trying to protect guys from injury all the way starting 122 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: in OTA's But then how what's the juggling act with 123 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: the quality of play? Is the quality of play what 124 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: it should be? Have we seen the drop off in 125 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: quality of play since this has happened. I think last year. 126 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: We did last year for sure. But then you also 127 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: add an additional game to the season, So I think 128 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: that's the maybe the thinking going into it. I'm sorry, Isaiah, 129 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: but that's what it is. They're trying to save guys 130 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: with the extra game, which makes sense, and should they 131 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: add an extra buy, they'll probably add an extra game 132 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: as well as you stated, and probably dumb the rules 133 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: down a little bit more. But you know think, I 134 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: think health wise, it doesn't matter how they do it. 135 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: You can tell all around the league that they are 136 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: teams that have beat up a lot of people, getting 137 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: a lot of injuries yesterday too. Yeah, some bad ones. 138 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, really bad one. Unfortunately for Washington it sucks 139 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: for him. Yeah you want to go through that? Yeah, 140 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: I mean, was it Logan Thomas looks looks like it's 141 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: going to be an acel for him. I mean, it's 142 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: really unfortant that. I hate seeing guys get hurting like that. 143 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: I hate it. Obviously it's easier to come back from 144 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: a cl injuries now, but I see, I feel like 145 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: we're seeing this a lot this year. Every year it 146 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: seems like there's one injury that kind of plays the 147 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: whole league. Then this year, I believe it's the acl' 148 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: sat sock tissue. Yeah. Yeah, I mean that's your that's 149 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: the whole right there. Yeah, I mean that's a that's now. 150 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: I think that's a solid seven eight month recovery. Back 151 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: in the day used to be like a good year. 152 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: So I mean the recovery's gotten better, but that alters trajectory. Yeah, 153 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: also is the trajectory of somebody's career. Potentially, depending on 154 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: what your contracts are and where you're at in the negotiations, 155 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: you're not going to get with you the value that 156 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: you should have gotten until you come back and show 157 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: that you can that you can come back from that injury. 158 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: And it's just unfortunate. It's fortunate for Dallas they don't 159 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: have to worry about him this week, but it's really 160 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: unfortunate for him and that organization because he's a big 161 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: part of their offense. Well, you'd rather have to try 162 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: and take him out of the picture from a game 163 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: plan states that half him an injured. Nobody ever wants 164 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: that to happen. And you saw that last year with 165 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. I mean, as much as people hate the 166 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: Cowboys outside of being a Cowboys fan, there was so 167 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: much love around the league for Dak whenever he went down. 168 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: You never want that to happen. You never wish that 169 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: upon anybody, even your worst rivals. But talking about kind 170 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: of the war of attrition and starting to happen, we 171 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: know it's a long season, seventeen games as opposed to 172 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: sixteen a year ago. This is going to get into 173 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: that nitty gritty part of the year. Luckily, the Cowboys, 174 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: like night McCarthy has said all year long, kind of 175 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: have that halfway by these ten days in between games, 176 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: have so much time off that it works as almost 177 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: a de facto by following the Thursday game against the 178 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: Saints in prior to the game against the Washington football team, 179 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 1: is that enough time for the running game to wake up? 180 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: Because we've had some struggles, at least the Cowboys have 181 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: had some struggles over the last couple of weeks, a 182 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: couple of hundred yard performances, but they both come and 183 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: wins the Saints game in the Falcons game. I don't 184 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: know exactly what to think about this run game moving forward. 185 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a long term problem. 186 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is just because of the 187 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: defenses that you've faced throughout these games. Rob when you 188 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: look at this run game, is this an issue that 189 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: you're worried about as you enter the final five games 190 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: of the season and then of course the playoffs if 191 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: you get there. Yeah, I think it's a concern for sure, 192 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: because there's a five five game sample of evidence that 193 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: they're not the same running team as they were early 194 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: in the season. And I think you're right, there's there's 195 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: a lot of different factors for it. They played some 196 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: good defensive fronts um they also don't seem to be 197 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: establishing the line of scrimmage like they used to. And 198 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a coincidence that, you know, 199 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: five games ago, Tyrn goes out for three games, they 200 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: make a change at left guard. The continuities, you know, 201 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: they've had some shuffling at right tackle. The continuity is 202 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: not what it was um. And you know, I think 203 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: the other part of it too is that they've in 204 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 1: the passing game. They've got to be able to throw 205 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: teams out of that because what we've seen, I mean, 206 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: blue blue blueprint, come on, come on. I didn't want 207 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: to I didn't want to say it, but you know, 208 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: ever since Denver started that, you know, the kind of 209 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 1: that type press man coverage and and kind of trying 210 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: to take away the run, it's been more of a 211 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: challenge to do that. And in the hope would be 212 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 1: now that you've got a maricd and Michael Gallibeck, you 213 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: saw flashes of it against the Saints that maybe now 214 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: they can get that passing game rolling protection provided and 215 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: throw teams out of that and force those boxes to 216 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: be lighter than they've been. What do you think now, 217 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: I really believe what you're saying the spot on it's 218 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people don't understand the cause 219 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: and effect part of this running game and having the 220 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: injuries up front. We talk about continuity and all of that, 221 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: but we met certain teams and we were hurt upfront. 222 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: We didn't have like, we didn't have our best blocking 223 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: receivers on the field at the same time, I think 224 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: we're finding out the Dalton shows for everything that he 225 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: does great in the passing game, is kind of a 226 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: liability blocking sometimes. We've just seen him with on blocks. 227 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: But I just for me, like you said, the line 228 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, winning the line of scrimmage, we hadn't been 229 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: able to do that. We saw in those Carolina games 230 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: and Eagles games, and even in the Giants game where 231 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: we were pulling guards and we were relying on Beardest 232 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: to reach block on the backside and guys getting out 233 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: in space. What teams started to do with Kansas City 234 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: and with New England is they started putting those one 235 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: in three techs in the A gaps and just bringing 236 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: pressure up front, and that slowed a lot of what 237 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: we were doing down Look, Keller Moore also got a 238 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 1: little cute see with the play calling, and I think 239 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: that set us back as well. Dak Prescott is facing 240 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: six and seven man boxes and he hadn't been able 241 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: to throw teams out of it, like you're talking about, 242 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: make them move those guys out. But I just think 243 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 1: that teams have been able to tee off on us 244 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 1: and come after the running game, and we hadn't been 245 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: able to create that space upfront. And so look, if 246 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: you just go over the games that we've had, like 247 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 1: the Chargers, the Eagles, the Panthers, Giants, those were games 248 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 1: where we were having the most success in our running 249 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: game due to injuries and guys being missing. I think 250 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: that's where you see the running game start to struggle 251 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 1: a little bit. Again, that's the cause and effect that 252 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: I see. Yeah, I think it's a combination everything that 253 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: you guys just said. I do think that we are 254 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: now kind of entering the phase where Keller Moore needs 255 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 1: to start taking a book out of was it b 256 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: Enemy and Andy Reid's book were they create runs through 257 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: screens and they really loosen up their box short passing. 258 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: His short passing game allows for doing get these quick, 259 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: quick screens, get the ball in their hands of their playmakers. 260 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: CD CD had a big thirty three lay. Yeah, that's 261 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: a run play. So that's what Kansas City does really well. 262 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: That really loosens up that box, which allows for them 263 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: now to run the ball in those gaps that we're 264 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: just talking about. It takes a kind of that seven 265 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: man box out of there now and starts negating guys 266 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: to be able to have five six man boxes, which 267 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: is what you want to run against. So I think 268 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: that they Kella Moore has to figure that out. And 269 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: that's why last week puts so much emphasis on, Hey, 270 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 1: this is on more to figure it to figure it out, 271 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: because that's is a responsibility. Yeah, you have guys. You 272 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: got one guy who's healthy, one guy who's banged up 273 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,719 Speaker 1: in the backfield, and you still have to find a 274 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: way to be productive. And if you can't do it 275 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: with your running backs inside the boxing, get into your 276 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: receiver's hands and get those yards that way. I think 277 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: that's important to remember, especially whenever you look at the 278 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: way that they were able to get those yards against 279 00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: New Orleans, because if you're listening to this show and 280 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: you're looking at the stats of the New Orleans game 281 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: and you're saying, oh, there's one hundred and forty six 282 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: total yards rushing. Why are you guys upset about the 283 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: run game. Well, you take away the two plays that 284 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: they did exactly what you're talking about. Fifty eight yard 285 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: from Tony Pollard catches the edge, that's fifty eight yards. 286 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: You take that out of the equation, along with the 287 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: CD Lamb play that was technically a run, but more 288 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: so a screen pass for thirty something yards. That's ninety 289 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: yards almost off the table. And so you turn around 290 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: and you look at your performance at that point and 291 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: you're running for sixty yards again, which is exactly what 292 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: you did against Las Vegas. You're held to about three 293 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: and a half maybe less than that yards per play, 294 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: yards per rush, and it did not look pretty. That's 295 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: the biggest thing I think. Whenever you look at the film, 296 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: they were stuffed on every single occasion outside of those 297 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: two big plays. Now that helps you want those big plays. 298 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's they didn't count, because they certainly do. 299 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: But you got to have some sort of consistency in 300 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: running the football like they did earlier in the year. 301 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: So you're eight and four, let's go back to that. 302 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: You're a feeling good, feeling good about yourself. You're two 303 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: games up in the division, and you know, look, I 304 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: went back over the weekend and I looked at the 305 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: New Orleans game again, and you're right, man, it was 306 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: a lot closer than we wanted to give credit to. 307 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: And as far as the ending score, we kept them 308 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: around way too long. And if you can establish a 309 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: running game and you do some things like that that 310 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: changes the dynamic of your offense. But I believe, and 311 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: just from the football that are watch in general, that 312 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: a lot of offensive coordinators in the league are coaching 313 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: to get a head coaching job. And I'm not talking 314 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: about Kellen Moore. Just if we win, great, but I 315 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: want you to love my play design. I want you 316 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: to be talking about my play design on Monday morning, 317 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: you know exactly. And you see that. You see that 318 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl with some of the wild offensive 319 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: calls at a play and he's like, oh man, he 320 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: went in his bag and he called this crazy play 321 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: that if otherwise they're in the regular season, you wouldn't 322 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: call that, you know. And so I just think that 323 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: those things are Look when I look at Kevin Stefanski, 324 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: when I look at the San Francisco forty nine ers, 325 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: the way that they block on those zone but I mean, 326 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: they're getting guys out in space and they are dedicated 327 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: to continuing to run the ball. I believe that for 328 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: the for the Dallas Cowboys, our offensive line, we've been 329 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: doing a lot of isolation blocks trying to get up 330 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: and I think that's hard for offensive linemen to get 331 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: a hat on the hat in a lot of ways, 332 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: especially when you're trying to get out in space. We 333 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: got to get back to double teaming, double teaming guys, 334 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: you know, getting our garden center to cut off the 335 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: you know, get cut off, double block and then get 336 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: backside to cut off the linebackers. Those are just things 337 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: that maybe we got away from because we were not 338 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: as healthy. We were relying on steal to just kind 339 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: of when he was at the right tackle, block down, 340 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: let the guards get out and guys were getting up 341 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: the field. But again, I'm just saying there are things 342 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: that you can change up offensively once obviously hope philbing 343 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: is back and healthy. But they're just things that you 344 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: can change up with the offensive line that can present 345 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: a challenge to teams in the running game. You know 346 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: the other thing too, You guys mentioned Kellen Moore and 347 00:16:54,880 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: schematically they the Pollard run the screen pass the CD. 348 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: You're attacking the edges and Brian brought us like give 349 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: him credit because he's been on this for a couple 350 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: of weeks. Now they're trying to they're they're avoiding that 351 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: part of the scheme. I mean, they're not trying to 352 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: go to attack the edge as much, and Mike McCarthy 353 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: was asked about it and he said, yeah, that's we 354 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: probably need some more variation there. So I think that's 355 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: that's another thing they can look to do. And Connor Williams, 356 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,719 Speaker 1: that's one thing when he was in the lineup. I'm 357 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: not saying they should go back to him necessarily, but 358 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: him pulling and getting out in space and some of 359 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: those stretch runs like that's things he did probably better 360 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: than anything. So that's something they got to look at 361 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: too schematically. Now why would they avoid the edge like 362 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: that though? Is it just don't know, you're ignorance to it, 363 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: or just they that's what the scheme is drawn up 364 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: certain occasions. I don't know. I think Mike had said 365 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: when he was asked about it Friday that that's kind 366 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: of a harder thing to get to to capture. But 367 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: they've had Bobby Belt had a stat from NFL Network 368 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: about when they they're averaging six seven yards of carry 369 00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: left edge, right edge. I'm not saying you could do 370 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: it all the time time, but they they've had a 371 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,719 Speaker 1: lot more success doing that than just pounding it up 372 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: the middle. A lot of first down runs against the 373 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 1: Saints and went for a yard or two, you know, 374 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: up the middle, and they're just running into a brick wall. 375 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: It kind of felt like the Tampa Bay game. Yeah, 376 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: you know, you're exactly right, and the Raiders did the 377 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 1: same thing in that game as well. So trying to 378 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: take away Ezekiel Elliott has been a key for a 379 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: couple defenses this year and they're going to try and 380 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,719 Speaker 1: keep doing that. So maybe it is the Tony Pollard 381 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: Show the rest of the way if they can catch 382 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: the edge and maybe Zeke's healthy heading into this Washington game, 383 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 1: but that's a big one too. You got to make 384 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: sure he's healthy and ready to go. Teams are willing 385 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: to die that way. I mean we've the last three 386 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: contest teams that we've played, they are been willing to 387 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: die that way. We're going to take away the running game, 388 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: and you've got to beat us throwing the ball, and 389 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: that's just I think with the injuries to Dak's calf, 390 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: maybe the limitations in some of his mechanics that we've 391 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: talked about, maybe those have been the things that have 392 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: kept teams closer end games than we'd like. But you know, 393 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 1: obviously the healthier he is he can he can break 394 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: that real quick question for you guys, when you guys 395 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: watch the game's back, do you see opportunities for him 396 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: to run that he's not taking. Hell yeah, day all 397 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 1: the way back to the beginning of the season. Okay, 398 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: because I just I just watching the Saints game back 399 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: in particular, I felt like, because a lot of people 400 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: were saying that, I do think they're situations where it 401 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: looks like he's got some green it's gonna close fast 402 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: on him. But it's always it always looks bigger than 403 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: it actually is. Yeah, but he's not running nearly as 404 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: much as he did in the past. They're not using 405 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: the read option stuff as much as they used to. 406 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I think he's too hind And 407 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: I was like this at one point in my career. 408 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: I'm not making any comparison to my cell phone and 409 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: dak at that position right now, but there was a 410 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: point in my career where I felt like I had 411 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: to throw a dime every time, like I had to 412 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: get the big chunk, I had to get the big play. 413 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: I had to throw it down field, and you literally, 414 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: even though you're aware of the line of scrimmage, like 415 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: you're like, I'm not crossing it. I'm not crossing it. 416 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: And then I feel like he's at the phase now 417 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 1: where he has to change his mindset to say, move 418 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: the chains. Move the chains. And once you wrap your 419 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: head around that concept, those little runs like that become 420 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: more more feasible. Like I'm more willing to now just 421 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: take that quick three four yard slide, get up now, 422 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I'm more manageable down. That's what 423 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: I think he has to get back to understanding we 424 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: don't You don't have to take off and running, you know, 425 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,239 Speaker 1: ten fifteen yards down the field and didn't get hit 426 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: by a linebacker or or whatever it may be. Get 427 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: three four yards to pop. If it's four yards sitting 428 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: there in front of you, take it. Take it because 429 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: you help killing You put him in the entire offense 430 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: in a better position for the next down. It's much 431 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: better to take that quick little run across the line 432 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, get what you can, slide, don't take any contact. 433 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 1: Then to go ahead and throw the ball away and 434 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: be in second and ten again, or to throw a 435 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: bad ball and have it be contested and maybe pop 436 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: up in some back and happen. Take the yardage that 437 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: they give you, and we will be in a much 438 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: better state as offense. Now, that's been the mystique of 439 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,719 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott since he came into the league. You know, 440 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: his ability to create with this run off the run 441 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: and then pass off of it. We hadn't seen it 442 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,959 Speaker 1: this year and that's kind of just kind of weird 443 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 1: to see him, you know, bootleg out and not take 444 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: the additional yards and you know, still try to throw. 445 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, like we talk about the psychology of 446 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: injuries when you always talk about you know, look when 447 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: I've had this happened to my shoulder, my foot, all 448 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 1: these things that it changed your game. Maybe we're just 449 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: watching the guy trying to deal with that mentally knowing 450 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 1: that hey I got hurt doing it or yeah, or 451 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: it's a coaching point like, look, you know, we can't 452 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: we can't risk you getting hurt again. You know, yeah, 453 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: we got you, We got you. Gotta be more mindful 454 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: of it because you are the key to this offense. 455 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: It could be coming a couple different directions to Dak 456 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: Prescott saying hey, let's let's be aware of the line 457 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,959 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, like Isaiah was saying, but let's not cross here, 458 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: let's let's stay beck see that happening. It's just it's 459 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: not long term. I think you'll see it click and 460 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: one of one of these games, he's gonna he's gonna 461 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: get out of the pocket and he's gonna take it 462 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: and he's gonna take the five yards slide and be 463 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: like that was easy. It's second and five. It's second 464 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 1: and five, you know, and like the play calls, just 465 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: open up your hold that whole little three hundred playshet 466 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: or whatever he plays. I have one that thing. Any 467 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: thing just opens up whenever it becomes that shortened downard distance. 468 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: So I hope that clicks for him sooner than later, 469 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 1: because he can help this team a lot in terms 470 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: of our third down percentage, where was two for fourteen, 471 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 1: two for fifteen last games something crazy like that. Thirteen 472 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: He can help a lot by just doing that. Yep, 473 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: you're exactly right. And I mean playing in front of 474 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: the chains is always going to help you out. And 475 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have been playing behind the chains quite a 476 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: bit as of late. All right, let's take our first 477 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: break when we come back, move on or groove on 478 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: the segment Everybody Loves is returning.

Daltson Schultz will be on this 553 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: team next season, big number eighty six. He back in 554 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Don't grooving on. I'm grooving all. Okay, Yeah, 555 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: I'm grooving all.

I believe so. Okay, I think we 558 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: flip yeah, but we can work it either way. No, 559 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 1: that's I think that's where work. Yeah, okay, cool. Grooving 560 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: our means I'll be like it. Moving on means that. 561 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: Oh good? Okay, Sorry, I think I flipped it. Okay, 562 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: why is that? I mean, come on, this guy's having 563 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: a hell of a year and he had you know, 564 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, he had a great seasons. No, you've built 565 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: something with this guy, and although Jarwin is still under contract, 566 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: I think there are some other things that needs to 567 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: be considered with that whole tight end room. He's done 568 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: enough for you. He's shown you that you've developed in London, Wales. 569 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 1: The guy you you're tight end coach from New York. 570 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: He's here and he's developing. This guy. You see so 571 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: much from him and just the way that he's running routes. 572 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,719 Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's up there blocking. You got an 573 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: off season, we're gonna work on that. I'm gonna groove 574 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: arm too. Go get you a blocker who get your 575 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: blocking tight end. Let him do what he does. He's 576 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: continuing to develop. He's still young. He has some growth 577 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 1: obviously in that. In that regard, I'm not sure if 578 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: he hasn't has enough wait in the trunk to really 579 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: settle down and block guys. But he can definitely work 580 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: on this technique in the blocking but receiving whis he's 581 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: coming leaps and bounds. I would groove on for what 582 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 1: you guys said, he's out a hell of a year. 583 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 1: He's become a safety blanket for Dak Prescott. But I 584 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: just I wonder if there's financially they do it, if 585 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 1: they can get it done under the cap, because he's 586 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: got an opportunity with the numbers he's putting up for 587 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: the last two years to go get the back, and 588 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: he somebody's gonna give him back. I think so. I 589 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: think so. I think so, And I just wonder they 590 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: might have to make a decision there because of all 591 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 1: the other things they gotta do and the CAP's gonna rise. 592 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: But um, you've seen it with like an ant Anthony Hitchins, 593 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: guy that's had a great career here, but you can't 594 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: there's there's a budget, and I wonder if that's going 595 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: to be the case. Do you guys think he's gonna 596 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: leave and get the back. I think it's a possibility. 597 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: I think at least, I mean, he goes out and 598 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: test the market. Man, it might be look at some 599 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: of the names that you're gonna have to sign this offseason. 600 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: If you want to keep these guys around, I mean, 601 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: Michael Gallop, Dalton Scholz, who else is in that, Grandy 602 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: gregor Randy Gregory. They're lde if you want to keep 603 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: him around. But you I don't know. I don't see that. 604 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I respect what he's done. I don't see 605 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: nobody breaking the bank for him, like sympathistically, he's a 606 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: top seven eight wide. I mean, excuse me, tight End, 607 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: I understanding at the moment right now staying. But what 608 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: he's shown blocking I think hurts him. He does in 609 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: his stock now. Had he kept the same effort that 610 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: he started the year outway, because we talked about this 611 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: effort earlier in the year, like, hey, he wasn't the 612 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: best blocker, but he was putting out a ton of effort. 613 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: That's changed and I think the fact that that variables 614 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: in there, I think probably hurts his stock because you 615 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: don't just get how many teams are getting tight End 616 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: just because of what they can do receiving wise, like 617 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of them, but you look at 618 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: the upper echelon teams like the Kansas Cities and what 619 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: they do with their tight ends. Yeah, but they can block, 620 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: I understand. But the offensive output as well. This guy 621 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: is leading the league well a couple of years ago 622 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: in receiving yards and that's changing when you especially when 623 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,479 Speaker 1: you can dominate the middle of the field and so, 624 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: and he's able to beat those one on one matchups. 625 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: Put a linebacker on him if you want to, you know, 626 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,719 Speaker 1: even right now. But I think I agree with you 627 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: what you're saying about his blocking. I just think that 628 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: the bag is gonna be there somebody to believe that 629 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: they can develop him into it. I just hope it's 630 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: us kind of to Heckma's point. You look at Kansas City. 631 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: Kelsey's not the greatest blocker at tight end. He's a 632 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: good blocker, He's not. Then you can't say that about Kiltal. 633 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: But you also got guys on the Kansas City roster, 634 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: like a Blake Bell who has been here before, who 635 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: comes in and he's the blocker. He's the guy who's 636 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: gonna be in the blocking situation. Right now. You don't 637 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: have that with a guy like Dalton Schultz. I mean, 638 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: you thought Sprinkle was supposed to be that. He hasn't 639 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: played well as a blocker. There's a couple different things 640 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: going on there. So I think it's a move on 641 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: because of the bag, not because so we got three 642 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: grooves and we'll move no. Yeah, yeah, yeah, want to 643 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: keep him, but I just wonder cap wise will will happen. 644 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: I'm the same way. I think there's other guys that 645 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: are more priorities than than what he's going to bring 646 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: in money wise. All right, Micah Parsons is the best 647 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: player I'm the Dallas Cowboys right now, Rob Phillips best 648 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: player across the board offense, defense, special teams. I'd put 649 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: him second right now, behind Zach Martin. Okay, that's fair. 650 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: I think he's the second best player on the team 651 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: right this minute, the way he's playing. Yes, wow, And 652 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: I think he's a legit it's our male bad question today. 653 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: I think he's a legit candidate for Defensive Player of 654 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: the Year. I think get Rookie of the year's probably 655 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: can you win both? Sure, that's a good By the 656 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: name of Lawrence Taylor, who's that a dogear only rookie 657 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: ever to do it, and forty years ago to the 658 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: to the year it's happened this year. Yeah, Wow, there's 659 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: a chance for some really good Due's balling out right 660 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: now on defensively, t J Watt, Miles Garrett. So to me, 661 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: it would be tough. But I think he's in the conversation, 662 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: without question. I think he has to be in a 663 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: conversation with what he's done. I'm gonna go, diddo. I 664 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,719 Speaker 1: think it's the same thing Zack Martin First, Yeah, Parsons 665 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: too correct, that's fair man, y'all trip it. I cannot 666 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: believe y'all, man, this dude is that. Yes, he's Yes, 667 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: eleven is the best you got. Yes, not only that 668 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: in the league. Look around. What's the matter of what 669 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: y'all talking about. I understand Zach Martiny Conan, I got him. 670 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: I love him, you know. I think I'm so happy 671 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: that he's on our team. But do y'all watching what 672 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons is doing right now? It just goes all 673 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: the way back to before the draft. Dog, I didn't 674 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: I didn't cut him. Michael Parson gets that. He gets 675 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: all the flashy stuff that you see. But Martin doesn't 676 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: get He doesn't get the highlight real He doesn't get 677 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: the highlight reals. He brings his lunch bell. Yeah, he 678 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: brings lunch pel, he opens it up, he eats it, 679 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: puts on his gloves. One of the best right guards 680 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: to ever ever play in the NFL. But the greatness 681 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: that we are watching right now, Man, come on, man, y'all, 682 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: you know what and see. The thing is when I 683 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: jump out the cake is not argue you. You can't 684 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: say that the person we're comparing him to is one 685 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: of the greatest to ever do it and then say 686 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: that Parsons ahead of him. You know what you're saying 687 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: when you say that, Parsons into what I'm saying. At 688 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: the end of this, we could be talking about one 689 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: of the greatest defensive players to ever play the game. Correct, 690 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: that's a question mark. So I'm not arguing with you. 691 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: But listen, those questions get argued, get answered as the 692 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: season goes along. Correct, and you're seeing tackles for losses. 693 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, exacts, pressure force fumbles. I mean, bro, Beast, 694 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: if this is on your team, I know, no Beast, 695 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: but one's a question mark. One's an exclamation point. I'm 696 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: look your time, and I'm telling anybody, and it's unfair 697 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: to him because he doesn't have time on his side. 698 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: Martin does. So that's what we're taking into consideration as well. Yeah, 699 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: I'm more a resume. I look, I'm in the live. 700 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 1: I jumped out of the the ke. I can't give it, 701 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: get into I gotta I gotta facetown. I gotta facetown, 702 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: cover butt nigger. I got a facetown. All right, we're 703 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: right there. I think Michael Parsons. Michael Parsons is in 704 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,800 Speaker 1: a position. He is a He is in a versatile 705 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: spot on defense that hasn't been seen in quite some time, 706 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: not only from the Cowboys standpoint, but in the league. 707 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,919 Speaker 1: When is the last time you've seen a guy make 708 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,439 Speaker 1: an impact on all three levels the way that Michael Parson. 709 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 1: I'm going for to seeing him at corner. Eventually, he 710 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: might he might be great at him running back. I 711 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: don't believe we go through a whole season without see 712 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: him at running back, especially if Zeke takes a week 713 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: off like poss I was just kidding, No, he was 714 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: just I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. Stop you no 715 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: more covering you. I don't know, I don't know. I'm 716 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: not doing that. If something happened to Zeke, No, you 717 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: needed to go line back. Don't do that, McGovern You 718 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 1: can let stay with us, stay with us on the 719 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 1: show anyway. I'm just saying, I don't think we go 720 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 1: a whole whole season without him going to This would 721 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: have been a good Cowboy if we had mentioned butt 722 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: naked like three times every day. Man, one of the best. 723 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: What this guy is doing a moving him to the 724 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: linebacker position and what he's doing off the edge. You're 725 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,399 Speaker 1: just not seeing this from anybody that's been in the league. Man, 726 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: this is this is crazy. His closing speed, just the 727 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 1: closing speed. Uh, it's Oh, it's a canny. I don't know. 728 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,800 Speaker 1: I mean I would like him obviously in the draft, 729 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 1: but I didn't even think that he was gonna be 730 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody did, or else he would have 731 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,839 Speaker 1: gone number one overall. Yeah, there's no way anybody thought 732 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,240 Speaker 1: that this was gonna happen. Well, if he Cowboys wouldn't 733 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: have traded back on top of the dog on Tower 734 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: yelling for Parsons in the draft. Did I not say? YouTube, 735 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 1: Oh my bad. But you two yeah, you and't that 736 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: with me? Dog? No, you get he's gonna town. Let's 737 00:35:52,560 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: go all right, I'm gonna do one more, one more brother, Cowboys. 738 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys will finish the year four and one or better, 739 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: got five games left. They leave with just one loss 740 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: in those four games, four in one or better. You 741 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: think that's a move on or a groove on. I 742 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: can't say that right I'd say move on right now, 743 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: I'd go three and two, three and two. But like 744 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 1: we just talked about the run game, like, they've got 745 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: to sort some things out. I mean, I give them 746 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 1: credit more credit than maybe some people do. Winning that 747 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: game in New Orleans like that was a that's a 748 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: hard place to win. They had some issues to deal 749 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 1: with on the coaching staff. But like going forward, they've 750 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 1: got to be more consistent in some areas to beat 751 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,839 Speaker 1: division teams, to beat the Arizona Cardinals, it's not gonna 752 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 1: be an easy December here. No, I'm moving on as well. 753 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 1: I agree with ropy. I think three and two part realistic. 754 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: It's kind of what I'm trying to set expectations here. 755 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: I'm trying to set some expectations because I'm looking at 756 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: the schedule. You look at it, you say, oh, four 757 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 1: and one, easy, right, That's not necessarily the case the 758 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: East team or division. We're gonna mention that coming up 759 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 1: here in a couple of minutes. But NFC, he's starting 760 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,319 Speaker 1: to figure some things out there. Make it tough on you. 761 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,839 Speaker 1: You gotta target on your back at the moment. So 762 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: early in the season, I'm logic here, we went on 763 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: a six game run. Sure, we went on a six 764 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: game run versus some formidable teams, and you know, obviously 765 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: teams we were supposed to run over. I'm looking at 766 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: the next four games, and these are teams obviously, the 767 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: Washington football team, the Giants, Washington Football teams again, and 768 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 1: the Cardinals before we get the Blue Eagles out of here. 769 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: All of those are winnable games, and not only winnable, 770 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 1: those are games that you expect to go into to dominate. 771 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 1: I expect to dominate the Washington football team. Their defense 772 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 1: isn't what it is. It hadn't been there, and so 773 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: we can't. I know every week we're gonna build these 774 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,359 Speaker 1: teams up to be bigger than what they are. I'm 775 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: just saying, with getting your guys back healthy, bringing back 776 00:37:54,120 --> 00:38:00,879 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory, Tank, Lawrence Neville, Gallimore, Tristan Hill. Okay, these 777 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: are a bunch of guys that are not trying to 778 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: swap jerseys with you after the game, right, So if 779 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: I'm getting guys like that back, I have confidence that 780 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: my team can pull this out. Look, even if we 781 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 1: go eleven and six, where does that put us? What 782 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: does that put us? First place? Right? So if that's 783 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 1: first place, and that puts us like fourth or third 784 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,359 Speaker 1: wherever the place spot is. Yeah, I think they're gonna 785 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: win this division. Yeah, I just say division games are crapshoots. Well, 786 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,319 Speaker 1: you know, I just feel like, with where our health 787 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,879 Speaker 1: is right now, these are games that we can win. 788 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 1: We could roll through a week. Every game on our 789 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: roster is winnable. I'm not roster schedule is winnable. But 790 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: dominate I don't know if we're expected to dominate Washington. 791 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: Washington's defense is not where there used to be. Our 792 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: offense is not what it has been. That's kind of 793 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 1: a crazy matchup. You've talked a lot about playoff runs 794 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: and what you have to do in December. This is 795 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: our time. We struggled in December, but now you can 796 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: go into the playoffs making that run. That's what I want, 797 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 1: the momentum on our side. It's a great opportunity to 798 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 1: get some momentum going into the playoffs and kind of 799 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 1: hit it in stride. That's the biggest thing for these 800 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,439 Speaker 1: final five games. Now, we gotta take our second break 801 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: when we come back.
