Speaker 1: on the plane. Good show. Let's have a good show.

23
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: Let's see did you guys see Donald Trump's tweet this morning? Wow?

24
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: Starting right off of that, No, I did not see Donald.

25
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: I just saw Jones. Yeah. I spoke to Jerry Jones

26
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys yesterday. Jerry is a winner who

27
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: knows how to get things done. Players will stand for country.

28
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: We've got the live audio on that. We're gonna play

29
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: it later. No, we do, We absolutely do not. Um. Okay,

30
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: so that story is gonna keep keep rolling it. Um,

31
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: let's let's get into some football. Um. This is a yeah,

32
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: it's a tricky obviously it's a tricky thing. But just

33
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: the fact that, like all these other talk about Jerry

34
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: and Goodell and now you've got Goodell and Trump, it's

35
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: like which side are we taking here? And like which

36
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: stands he is he trying to really go after? I

37
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know where this whole thing is

38
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: gonna end up, But I don't know. We'll stay tuned,

39
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: but for right now, we're going to spend the next

40
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 1: hour talking about football and uh and this just kind

41
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: of dag dig into these cowboys. Let's start first with

42
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence. Yesterday we find out I guess it was

43
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: this morning, maybe we find out that Lawrence is it

44
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: was named that the NFL's defensive Player of the Week,

45
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: and we talked yesterday about about how well he's playing.

46
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: But I think for an honor like this, it kind

47
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: of when you look across the league right now, statistically

48
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: it's best defensive end in all football. Bro's. I mean

49
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: the stats show that. I mean, I don't think I

50
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: would call him the best defensive end in football, but

51
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: artistically yeah yeah, and statistically yeah. And Golf is one

52
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks in the league statistically. But but

53
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: he's he's been better than the stats. And that's what

54
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: I think is the most impressive part he His stats

55
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: are the best in the league, but he's been better

56
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: than that because he's had a half sack taken away,

57
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: he's had another sack taken away, he's been around another

58
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: play that looked, you know, that was close to a sack.

59
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: He's almost had interceptions, He's had a lot of tackles

60
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage. He's getting a lot of

61
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: hits on the pressures on the quarterback. I mean, he

62
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: has been the most disruptive player we've seen, you know,

63
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: and Irving did it for a half against Tampa. You know,

64
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: Irving showed some flashes. He has been the most dominant

65
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: player we've seen since about since Drew Brees was running

66
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: for his life when DeMarcus Ware was going to get

67
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: him back at oh nine or two. And you know

68
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: that that area for DeMarcus Ware, it's been this has

69
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: been impressive. But you got to keep it up though.

70
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: That's the thing that's why he's not you know, the

71
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: JJ Watt and those guys. I mean, they do it

72
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: every single week. You know, he's got to keep doing that.

73
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: But man, it's a great time for Irving to come

74
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: back too fresh. And not this week obviously, but the

75
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: next week, come back fresh. I'm wondering, and I'm very

76
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: interested to see over the next several weeks how much

77
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: one team start doing more things to disrupt him. So, now,

78
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: how does he play when he has to live in

79
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: a world of double teams and chips and all that.

80
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm talking about DeMarcus Lawrence, Because teams are gonna start

81
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: paying more attention to him. And the flip side of that,

82
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: who else on this defensive line is gonna have opportunities?

83
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: Isn't going to take advantage of those opportunities to step

84
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: up and beat one guy to get to the quarterback?

85
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be Crawford? Obviously we saw Mollie Collins

86
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: have those two sacks last week, and he's been consistent,

87
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: I think since last year. But on the other side,

88
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: are you, Vincent Mayo, are you're gonna see tackle Charlton?

89
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: I mean, the question becomes is tackle even the best guy,

90
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: does Tapper get a shot? And it's Tapper have the

91
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: ability to beat that one guy. They're gonna be opportunities

92
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: for other guys across this line because the way that

93
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence is right now he's going to do, it's

94
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: going to force other teams to pay more attention to him,

95
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: which is going to create opportunities for other guys. Can

96
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: they step up? Well, you know he's he's so good

97
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: at the at the left defensive end spot going up

98
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: against you know, those right tackles, and so I don't

99
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: think anyone was gonna would ever change what they do

100
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 1: to try to block him, you know, the switch switch

101
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: to your left tackle over to your right tackle. But

102
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: it's kind of it is an interesting dynamic that you

103
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: know when you when you have a strong rusher like

104
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: that off the left end, and most teams have their

105
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: best left tackle over there, so you're not really going

106
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: to have that that which is I think an advantage

107
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Yeah, you know, and now that means

108
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: they got it. They got to dedicate a tight end,

109
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: they have to get a running back to Chip, they

110
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: got other things that they'll have to do in their

111
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: offense in order to account for him on that side.

112
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: And that's where additional opportunities are created for other guys. Yep,

113
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,119
Speaker 1: I know he's ready for the Rams part eating the way. Yes, Okay,

114
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: he's getting ready. So one more thing before we get

115
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: to that, and we are going to talk about the

116
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: Rams and the day. We're going to focus in on

117
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: the Rams offense versus the Cowboys defense, and Dave's gonna

118
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: give us a scouting report that he's feverishly putting together

119
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: right now. But before we get to that, I did

120
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: want to get an update on Sean Lee and Jordan Lewis.

121
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: Coach Garrett yesterday said both had hamstring injuries from the game.

122
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: What do we know is there a do we have

123
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: a statush report on where they are at this point

124
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: and kind of what's going to be happening throughout this

125
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: week to get them ready to play. Thought me, if

126
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: you've heard this before, day to day, they're gonna take

127
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: him day by day. It's day by day that sounds

128
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: reading between the lines, that sounds like Jordan Lewis's deal

129
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: is not as serious as Sean Lee's. Okay, Jordan, that's

130
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: a good thing. Jordan was feeling tightness in his hamstring

131
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: and they decided to pull him out for the last

132
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: couple possessions of the game. Shawn Lee I think might

133
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: have actually tweaked it. However, Shawn Lee's what eighth year

134
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: All Pro, seventh year All Pro linebackers, So typically, you know,

135
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: going back to the Odell Beckham conversation from week one,

136
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: I tend to give the nod toward that guy to

137
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: find a way to get himself ready, more so than

138
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: the rookie who's playing his third game. I was convinced

139
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: he went down just to stop the clock. It looked well,

140
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: it really couldn't tell, right because he kind of tried

141
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: to get off. He was sitting and he looked like

142
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: he was hurt, and then he looked like he tried

143
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: to jog off the field and then he realized that

144
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: wasn't worth it, so it did. It looked like he

145
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: was hurt to me, but that's because I had my

146
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: eye on him before he got up, So it looks

147
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, hamstrings are tricky. Like it doesn't look

148
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: bad because he ultimately wound up kind of jogging off

149
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: the field, but you know how those things go. So

150
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: I bet, well, nobody's going to practice today. Today is

151
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: essentially a walkthrough. I bet she's not going to practice tomorrow,

152
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: so it'll be one of those scenarios where you're looking

153
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: at him on Friday to see what he's doing. And

154
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: the same thing probably goes for Jordan, because, like I said,

155
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: he's a rookie. He's had hamstring problems for most of

156
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: the time he's been here. He said it is the

157
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: same hamstring as the one that was bothering him in

158
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: training camp. So probably need to keep an eye on

159
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: both of them as the week goes along. Because the

160
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: same thing happened to the Cheeto and then he got

161
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: hurt again in the Denver game, and then he obviously

162
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: didn't play last week. And it doesn't sound like he's

163
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna him or no, only Carroll are gonna be

164
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: ready to play this week. I mean us don't rule

165
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: him out. But Garrett pretty much said yesterday he said,

166
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: doesn't look overly positive for them, were too optimistic or

167
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: something like. It doesn't look like if I were a

168
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: betting man, I wouldn't bet on Cheeto or Carol or Carol.

169
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this question. And I know

170
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 1: these injuries are different. Obviously, can't say just because it's

171
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury it's the same thing. And talking about

172
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: Cheeto right now, but I know, Nick, you made the

173
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: point a couple of weeks ago. Is it a smart

174
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: move to just go ahead and sit Cheeto for a

175
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: while because of this hamstring injury is recurring? Well, if

176
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: that's the case, should that be the consideration at least

177
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: to some degree With Jordan Lewis because he says it's

178
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: the same hamstring and maybe maybe it wasn't an injury

179
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: like Dave said, maybe it was more just tightness and

180
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: in which case there wasn't a tweak and so maybe

181
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: you don't feel like you need to sit him. But

182
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: if this is going to be an ongoing thing and

183
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: the only thing you can do to help it is rest,

184
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: doesn't make more sense just to give him just straight rest. Well,

185
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: when I said that about Cheetoh, I was talking about

186
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: maybe doing a roster spot, I mean with a with

187
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: an I R type of move, because they cleared they

188
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: knocked him out so quickly into the game like you're out,

189
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: as like this is probably a severe enough thing where

190
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: it's going to take some time. What I would do

191
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: now is whatever they're gonna do for David Irving, I

192
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: would do it this week, whatever move is they're gonna make,

193
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: I think I would. I would release that player or

194
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: move him off the roster this week and bring up

195
00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: Marquez White to the roster, then probably move Mark White

196
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: off the roster and hoping one of these corners backs

197
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: is ready for the next week and then you've already

198
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: got that spot for David Derby. That's that's such a

199
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: that actually doesn't mean that is such a good next

200
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: level idea that I wonder if maybe you had a

201
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: conversation I swear I didn't. You do have to wonder

202
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: that with Nick. I mean, it's a great but there's

203
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: a shower. I thought about that in the shower. I don't.

204
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: I don't care if I thought it was a conversation

205
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: in the shower. That doesn't I don't. Who would think

206
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: that sounds weird? If you don't know that you have

207
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: your best ideas in the shower, then no, No, I

208
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: thought that you said. I thought he was saying he

209
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: had a conversation in the shower. And that's why I

210
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: was like with Jamal Showers's back on the practice squad.

211
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: So we all three took something to me different. Jamil

212
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, they're probably gonna move. They're probably gonna

213
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: move to Mark Quay. I'm here. Nick's like, what are

214
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: you doing in my shower? Yeah? All right, let's um,

215
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: let's get into this this talk on the Rams versus

216
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Let's talk first about the Rams offense versus

217
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense. The one thing that that's ends out

218
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: I think most about this Rams offense is offensively, they're

219
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: scoring a ton of points right now, they're good. Now, Well,

220
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: I don't know that's the and that's really the question,

221
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: because they've scored a ton of points. But most of

222
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: those points were done in two games against teams that

223
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: you don't really think are among the best in the NFL,

224
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: and so and so, I guess my question for you, Davis,

225
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: give us a scouting report, and then I want all

226
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: of us to chime in on how much do you

227
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: respect what they've done in these games, knowing that the

228
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: opponents they mainly did it against were not among the

229
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: NFL's best teams, first of all in my opinion. And

230
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: I get that they're two wins or against San Francisco

231
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: and Indy, both of whom I think will be top

232
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: ten draft pick candidates. It's still the NFL. This isn't

233
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: college football. I don't care about that. You beat, you

234
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: score forty points on somebody, it's pretty good. You beat

235
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: somebody as badly as they beat the Colts, that's pretty good.

236
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: They're one losses to the Redskins, which you know that's

237
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: probably a playoff caliber at least gonna be in the

238
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: Hunt type of team. They or twenty points, so that

239
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: kind of gives you a little bit of an indicator

240
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: of what we're dealing with here. Having said that, it's

241
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: really impressive what they're doing, considering how hapless they looked

242
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: last year to start off this LA era because Jared

243
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: Goff through three games has a quarterback rating of one eighteen.

244
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: He's completing seventy percent of his passes. He's averaging ten

245
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: yards per tempt, so it's it's not like he's dinking

246
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: and dunking. Oh, which leads the league? Which does lead? Yeah,

247
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: nobody's nobody's up that high. He's got three receivers who

248
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: are averaging a lot of yards per catch, one of

249
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: whom I really want to talk about because he's a

250
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: draft show guy. But Sammy Watkins, who you might remember

251
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 1: from Buffalo, He's averaging like fifteen yards per catch, had

252
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: two touchdowns on this last game. I believe he kind

253
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: of started slow, but I mean thirteen catches for two

254
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: hundred yards and two touchdowns through three games is pretty

255
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: solid start. Robert Woods, who they also got from Buffalo

256
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: and enough, he's averaging seventeen yards per reception, so downfield

257
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: type of and he's a big downfield type of receiver. Actually,

258
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: two draft show guys, because remember we talked a lot

259
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: about Evan Ingram in the season opener. Gerald Everett is

260
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: the same type of dude, same type of like why

261
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: tight end who gets off the line, who's an athletic

262
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: guy South Alabama, kind of an under the radar guy.

263
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: He's averaging thirty three yards per catch. Doesn't many catches yet,

264
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: four but all of I mean four catches. Four catches

265
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: for one hundred and thirty four yards. He's not your

266
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: Jason Witten you know, on the line tight end, but

267
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: he's an athletic mismatch guy. It's goot Byron Jones written

268
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: all over it. It's something they're gonna have to look

269
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: out for. And then my guy, Cooper cup who was

270
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: maybe my favorite receiver in this past draft. Who you know,

271
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: he can play outside, he can play inside. People think

272
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: he's like a Wes Welker type because he's white, but

273
00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: he's really not. He's just a very versatile, very dynamic receiver.

274
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: He scored in the preseason game against the Cowboys. If

275
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: you remember on that play that Anthony Hitchins forced the

276
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: fumble on the goal line, he recovered the ball. Yes,

277
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: he's got nine catches for one hundred and twenty six

278
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: yards through and a touchdown. Just like a solid, versatile,

279
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: possession guy who can play anywhere they want him to.

280
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: Basically they are seventh in offense, sixth in passing offense.

281
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: I haven't even mentioned Todd Gurley, which is crazy because

282
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: you would think that he's and obviously, you know they

283
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: want to give him a lot of touches. I mean,

284
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: he was Zeke the year before Zeke went. He's the

285
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: top ten pick. He's getting twenty one touches a game.

286
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: But just like Zeke, it doesn't look like it's going

287
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: so easily for him. They're passing the ball well, but

288
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: he's averaging three point eight yards per carry. He's got

289
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty one yards through three games, but

290
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: he's also got sixty four carries, so I kind of

291
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: wonder if they're going to try to get that crank

292
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: in a little bit more. The big thing that' stands

293
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: out to me. He's got thirteen catches for one hundred

294
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: and forty yards and two touchdowns through three games, so

295
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: catching the ball. They're using him in the passing game

296
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: the way that I want the Cowboys to use Zeke.

297
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: I know Zeke probably has close to that many receptions

298
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: if I had to guess, he's probably got nine, ten, eleven,

299
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: But has he had more than twenty receiving yards in

300
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: a game so far, I don't think so. So he's

301
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: leading their team in receptions right now, he's leading the

302
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: rams up Gurley exactly and rushing definitely in rushing. But

303
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like you were talking about those receivers,

304
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: he's caught more balls than any of the receivers has.

305
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: Like they use him a lot in their passing game.

306
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: He is the most integral part of their I think

307
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: of their offense right and so well. I think it

308
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: would probably this is my cliche that I use for

309
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys all the time, which is that Zeke is

310
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: kind of the engine that makes it all go. I

311
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: think they probably want to base everything they do around

312
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, but the difference between this team being any

313
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: good and not is clearly Jared Goff, which you know,

314
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to say I'm surprised by him playing

315
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: well because he was the number one overall pick in

316
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: the draft, but he looked so bad last year that

317
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: I have no choice but to give a ton of

318
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: credit to Sean McVeigh because that was kind of his

319
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: that was kind of his reputation when they hired him,

320
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: is that he's the guy that helped Kirk Cousins become

321
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: a franchise tag caliber guy and all I mean, Goff

322
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: looks great. That's that's the big takeaway that I have.

323
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: And again, I mean, can you can talk to me

324
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: about the quality of the opponents all you want, but

325
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: they're two in one and he's playing lights out right now.

326
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: So what this will probably be? Cowboys saw the Rams.

327
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: DeMarco ran all over him in twenty eleven, they beat

328
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: him up in twenty thirteen, they played him in twenty fourteen.

329
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: This will be the best Rams team that the Cowboys

330
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: have seen in the last five or six years. I

331
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: would guess, all right, let's take a break. When we

332
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: come back, I'm gonna tell you two things that scare

333
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: me about this Rams offense as a Cowboys observer, and

334
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: I want to get your opinions on whether you think

335

371
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: und you grave. I hear all this talk about what

372
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: it takes to be a cowboy. Everyone's got their ideas,

373
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: but I just say to myself, it's what's up top

374
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: that matters. Sure, you need men with the muscle and

375
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: heart to get her done. But if your scouts and

376
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: coaches are listening out there a word of advice. Pick

377
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: the man with the most well worn stetson. That's the

378
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: one most cut out to be a cowboy. Stetson hats

383
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: Welcome back. It's the second segment of the Breaklock from

384
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: the SWBC Mortgage studios at the Star, and we're talking

385
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys defense versus the Rams offense. They'll take

386
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: the Cowboys take on the Rams this Sunday. It'll be

387
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: a noon game. It's the only noon game other than

388
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: the final game of the season, which I think they

389
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: probably schedule all teams at next until they decide how

390
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna play that out. Cowboys and Eagles have a

391
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: good season, there's a good bet that this will be

392
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: the only noon game of the year. And the way

393
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: things look right now, that could be a game of consequence.

394
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: It certainly looks that way to get to the playoffs early,

395
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: and then you have to play like a ten thirty

396
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: game or something like that for TV ten thirty, something

397
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: like that eleven am. Unless you're not it won't be

398
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys playing on that time were not played

399
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,479
Speaker 1: at eleven am in the playoffs in Minnesota. We definitely

400
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: did I know that like our first year yep, oh,

401
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: I thought you met O nine. Oh, this would have

402
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 1: been when you were five Dallas. That might have been

403
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: pretty early too. The Cowboys are a lock for the

404
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: three thirty playoff game, I don't. I mean, there's just

405
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: a Sunday afternoon. Why are we talking about the playoffs

406
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: right now? As I said it? Or all right? So

407
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: here's what I want to do. I have a couple

408
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: of things that that I think if you're a Cowboys

409
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: fan probably should worry you a little bit about facing

410
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: this Rams team. And I'm gonna throw them out there,

411
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: and then I want you guys to tell me if

412
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm way off base or if you think this is

413
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: a legitimate I think the first thing is when you

414
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: look at this offense, to me, it kind of seems

415
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: like it's a culmination of the two offenses that had

416
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: given Cowboys problems this year. They only had three games,

417
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: but in two those games there were two specific things.

418
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,959
Speaker 1: One against Denver, they ran the ball well and they

419
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 1: completed a high percentage of their passes and their receivers

420
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: were able to just make plays after they got the

421
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: ball in their hands. And then against Arizona, the big play,

422
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: and that's been something that has been that Arizona does well.

423
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: We saw in the first drive they had three I

424
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: think they had three explosive plays in the first drive

425
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: alone of twenty yards plus. That all being said, that's

426
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: the first thing. The second thing is the one team

427
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,719
Speaker 1: that shut them down. I'm starting to get more respect

428
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: for that defense. Washington is a team that if you

429
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: watched them last Sunday night play against the Oakland Raiders,

430
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: which I think most people considered to be one of

431
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: the better offenses in the league, they absolutely shut the

432
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: Raiders down and there was no question about it. Was

433
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: kind of like the game between the Cowboys and the Broncos.

434
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: They clearly beat them up and didn't allow them to

435
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: do the things that they've been doing against teams going

436
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: back to last season. Those two things make me think

437
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: that Arizona's I'm sorry that that the Rams are much

438
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: better than just saying, hey, well, the only team they know,

439
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: the only team that they lost to was the Redskins.

440
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: The Redskins are a really good team. I think I

441
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: think so too. And so when you look at those

442
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: two things, I think those are two things that should

443
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: concern fans a little bit more. This is not a

444
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: typical game Cowboys versus Rams, where you say it's the Rams, dude,

445
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: like this is a much better team. I guess that's

446
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: the point I was trying to make a minute ago,

447
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: is that it's lazy and misinformed to think that it's

448
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: the Rams, dude, and chill out that. I don't think

449
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: that's gonna fly. I think when you're at the top

450
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: of the draft for as long as the Rams have been,

451
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: you have you can acquire some talent. We haven't, and

452
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: we're going to get into their defense tomorrow because that's

453
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: that's loaded yet. So this is a talented team, and

454
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not saying that they're going to make

455
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but I certainly don't think they're going to

456
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: be out of contention by October, which is well it

457
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: is October, they're not, so clearly they're not going They're

458
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: not going to fade away. This is a team with

459
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: a lot of talent and a promising young quarterback and

460
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: they're you know, twenty eight year old head coach or

461
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: thirty and he's like thirty one years old. He seems

462
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: to know what he's doing. So if you're writing this

463
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: off as the Rams, I think you're making a mistake.

464
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: I'm making a mistake. Then they're gonna kick Yeah, I'm sorry,

465
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: I know we wait till Friday. I think the Cowboys

466
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: are going to absolutely kick their ass this week. I

467
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: really do, thirty eight to seventeen, based on what, based

468
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: on what, Based on the fact that I don't think

469
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: the Rams can stop the Cowboys. I don't. I don't

470
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: think they I don't think they can stop them. I don't.

471
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I know their defense is good because they

472
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: have Aaron Donald, but I mean it was Montana de

473
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: rice slighting them up last week. I mean, I don't

474
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: understand why the Rams can score forty six points, a

475
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: lot of it on defense against the Colts. The Colts

476
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: are are atrocious right now. And then they played the

477
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. The forty nine ers, when what? When

478
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: did they get back? When did? When? Are they good?

479
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: And then the Rams be them and all of a sudden,

480
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley's saying they're gonna whip up in the Cowboys.

481
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean that, I think that's ridiculous. I don't think so.

482
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: I think they'll come and play this game. I've seen

483
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: this game a lot of times, this this noon kickoff game,

484
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: and I don't think the Rams will have a chance.

485
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: I really don't. I think it'll be a blowout. I

486
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: think that's outdated thinking. And that's the point I'm trying

487
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: to make, is that, you know, yeah, in twenty thirteen,

488
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: this was a craptastic Rams team and the Cowboys beat

489
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: him thirty test. They were awful. It was my third

490
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: game covering this team. It was a noon game. DeMarco

491
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: Murray did whatever he wanted too. It was pretty you're

492
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: saying that that the Rams are different from that year. Absolutely, Okay,

493
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: Well the Cowboys were eight and eight, Yeah they were,

494
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: So I don't think the Cowboys will be eight and

495
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: eighth that year. I mean this year. I just tell you,

496
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: I don't think that. I don't think they can. They'll

497
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: be able to hold up with the Cowboys. With the

498
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: running game, I think they'll be back on track. Sean

499
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: Lee's injury will be will be big for this one.

500
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: I mean, if if he doesn't practice all week, that

501
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: could be a little bit of a factor. But I

502
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: really I don't think it's what the Rams doing on

503
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: offense I think what the Cowboys will do will absolutely

504
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: control the game. I think golf will come down to

505
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: earth and so so you're buying into the idea that

506
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: this Cowboys defense, yep, is really good. Like you don't

507
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: think it's an aberration what we saw necessarily in the

508
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: first week and for most of the game last week.

509
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: I think there was some moments early in the game

510
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: where the defense will suspect, but yeah, really what you

511
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: saw most of that game. In my opinion, I said

512
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: this yesterday on the show. I think in two of

513
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: the three games this season, the Cowboys defense has been

514
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: the better unit. They've been unit that has been the

515
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: reason why they've won those games. You're buying into that

516
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: as going forward, I think the defense is going to

517
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: be strong and be able to shut teams down or

518
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: at least be able to limit teams to the point

519
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: where Cowboys score seventeen, they win. But I don't think that.

520
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: I think this game that's gonna be predicated on what

521
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys do offensively. I think the Cowboys offense is

522
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: going to be the better unit this game. I think

523
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: that they will be back in gear, they'll be running

524
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: the ball. I think they'll be spreading around passing. I

525
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: don't think you'll see Whitten and Beasley combined for four catches.

526
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: I think you'll see a dominating performance by the Cowboys offense,

527
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: and then that trickles down to Okay, go get Jared

528
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: Goff and this guy didn't go stop him. If you

529
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: can get up on him, you can take Gurly somewhat

530
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: out of the game, even though he catches the ball.

531
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: But I don't see it not this week. I don't

532
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: want to spoil tomorrow's show, but this rams front seven

533
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: looks equally equipped to slow down the Cowboys and what

534
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: as good as Denver, No, I don't. I maintain what

535
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: we said is that Denver is unique among the NFL defenses,

536
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: and if the Cowboys can have success, it'll probably be

537
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: spreading the ball around. What I'm trying to say is

538
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that Zeke is gonna get back to

539
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: be in Zeke this week. Because there's talent on that

540
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: front set, then when is that going to happen? I

541
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: don't know, I mean honestly, and this is not this

542
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: is not a knock on Z because I thought Zeke

543
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: the numbers don't say that he had a great week

544
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: last week. But that was one of those games to

545
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: me that makes the difference between a really good running

546
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: back and a running back that's just okay, get eighty

547
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: something yards against the way that in a situation of

548
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: the way that that game was being presented, in the

549
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: way the defense was playing. To me, those are a

550
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: lot of hard nosed yards, and that's a good running

551
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: back that he put up eighty three yards against that.

552
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: I'll say it for the millionth time. It's a testament

553
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: to how good he's been during his career that I

554
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: look at that game as like, because that's really good

555
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: effort for most NFL running backs. But when you average

556
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: five point one yards a carry as a rookie, three

557
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: point eight don't look that great. Yeah, But it's how

558
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: you get the yards too, Like, I know, there were

559
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: so many times when he got the ball and he

560
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: hit the line of scrimmage and there were guys right

561
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: there the line of scrimmage and he still made it

562
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: a two or three yard guy. That's value. I completely

563
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: agree with you. But he was dominant as a rookie

564
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: and he just looks good right now. Yeah, I mean

565
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 1: that's just the truth. So what game last year did

566
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: you guys think was the first game where Zeke was like,

567
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh yeah, that's that's that's the big Chicago

568
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: Week three. I mean, and I know the sucked last year,

569
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: but he ran all over him and he hurtled a

570
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: guy for the first time and just looked like a stud.

571
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: And then he followed that up by going sixty untouched

572
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: against the Bengals. And then he followed that up by

573
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: running for one sixty or whatever against the Packers, who

574
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: were statistically the best run defense in football. When with

575
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: San Francisco, was that actually I skipped one? Yeah, he

576
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: had I like that that week, but then then might

577
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: take that was week what that was Week four? I

578
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: want to say so Varl Bowman getting injured kind of

579
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: was a big part of that game because then but

580
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: in this second half, you know, he started kind of yeah,

581
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: making some plays there. It was it was that late

582
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: September early October. He has looked absolutely good through through

583
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I know he was awful against Denver, everybody was,

584
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: but he ground out a hundred yards against a really

585
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: good New York defense. He was resilient and tough and

586
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: fought for everything. Against Arizona, he's been good. He has not.

587
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: The running game hasn't looked as incredible as it did

588
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: last year. It just hasn't. For whether that's because the

589
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: offensive line is still jelly, or he's still getting his

590
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: you know, feet underneath him, or these these defenses have

591
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: just been that good. And I think, you know, maybe

592
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,479
Speaker 1: I'll be wrong for the record, I will. I do

593
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: expect the Cowboys to win this game, but I don't

594
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be easy. Do you think that part

595
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: of the issues with the running game is they're not

596
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: getting enough push along the offensive line? Yeah, I think

597
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: I think that that's part of it. I mean, this

598
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: isn't the first time we've seen eight man front. I

599
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: mean they've been doing it all last year as well. Um,

600
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: I think I think that that is an issue. But

601
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: something I wanted to say that it'll be interesting to

602
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: see how Dak's game Monday night will in moving forward,

603
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: will kind of change what some defenses do. I mean,

604
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: we've seen him throw on the run, but not as

605
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: not as much as I thought he did in that game.

606
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: You know, we're able to just roll out and kind

607
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: of slinging a little bit. You know, teams are basically saying, Dak,

608
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: you have to beat us with your arm, and he did.

609
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: He did in that game, and and his receivers made

610
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: plays for him. I mean, he gave Ryce a chance,

611
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: he made the play game, Terrence a chance, and he

612
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: just dumped it off the Des and then Des went

613
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: him and Frederick just you know, plow through the defense.

614
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: So I think that that they are saying the passing

615
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: game has to beat us, and Dak showed in that

616
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: game against the Cardinals that he can do that. But

617
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting to note it's not just going

618
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: to be his arm that's gonna beat teams. He's on

619
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: a combination arms and got to get out there. What

620
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: makes him a really dynamic quarterback is his ability to

621
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: move around, and I think on the run, some of

622
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: the throws we've seen him made between last year and

623
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: this year that he's made on the run are as good,

624
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: if not better than some of the then his best

625
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: throws in the pocket, Like the guy can throw the

626
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: ball when he's running, and that's what makes him special.

627
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: As Nick brought this up right at the end of

628
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: the show, as memorable as the Bryce Butler players were,

629
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: that's just chucking it up to a guy on one

630
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: on one cover. His throw to Noah Brown was incredible, Yes,

631
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: because he's moving, he's basically sprinting and just fires it

632
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: in there to a guy with a defender draped on

633
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: his back. It was his and it was on I

634
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: mean like it was a laser like he shot it

635
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: through to him. Who caught the ball? Um? I guess

636
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: it was in the third quarter. He was rolling to

637
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: his left right in front of the Cowboys bench, had

638
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: the binoculars on him, and he I mean just rolling

639
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: to the left and just didn't stop, set his feet

640
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: and just throws it back on his body. I think

641
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: it was Terrence Williams maybe at the sideline, remember thinking.

642
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: I remember thinking it was like, that is a heck

643
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: of a throw. Of course, Amber was like, no, it wasn't.

644
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: It was a little wobbly, but it's early, right, but

645
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: better the second half. I think it was the second half,

646
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: but but it's just better throw in the fourth quarter,

647
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: rolland left though, rolland left and and you know, throwing it.

648
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: I mean that's Randall Cunningham style right there. I mean,

649
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: being able to have the arm strength to do that. Uh,

650
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: He's he's getting there. He's getting there with his arm

651
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean where he could go and make

652
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: plays with his arm like that and his legs. I

653
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: think that running game found a little something in the

654
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. It was one of those things you just

655
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: gotta keep pushing. Your defense has to allow you to

656
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: stay in the game so you can keep doing that,

657
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: and that's Denver. You couldn't just keep doing that because

658
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: you're down twenty one. I did have a couple more

659
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,479
Speaker 1: questions about the Cowboys defense, particularly though matching up against

660
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: the Rams. Yeah, if Jordan Lewis joins Cheetah Bay and

661
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: Nolan Carroll kind of trouble ack, isn't this what they do?

662
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: I know Nick said the possibility of trying to move up,

663
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: move up a guy. But right now, do you think

664
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, because they have gone into a game this

665
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: year where they had four healthy cornerbacks, do you think

666
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: they could go to this game and say, hey, we're

667
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: okay with the idea of not bringing someone up and

668
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: just rolling with the four we got. Well, if Jordan

669
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: joins those guys on the inactive list, they wouldn't have

670
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: You're talking about a scenario where you're just looking at

671
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: Xavier Woods as a corner I have already kind of

672
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: put him in and I know he plays safety but

673
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: a lot of But the thing is he's in the

674
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: slot so much. Is that it's It's just like I

675
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: assume going into a game, if they don't have any

676
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: other cornerbacks, they will just say he's in the slot

677
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: all day. Xavier Woods is a pet cat of mine.

678
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: We I'm not going to get into the whole draft

679
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: show thing, but we were very much a big fan

680
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: of him joining this team. I got I love watching

681
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: him play great. Still don't want to go into a

682
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: game with him as my fourth cornerback. That sounds is

683
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: he not already playing at that right? But you know,

684
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: it's just a it's a numbers standpoint, you know. I mean,

685
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: if you lose a guy in this game, then are

686
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna move Xavier Woods outside? Outside? Too? I just

687
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: I just like to cover my bases. It was so

688
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: bad in the Denver game that I was like asking

689
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: you guys in the press box, like who could cover

690
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: like Switzer Dz. I mean, who who can actually go

691
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: out and be in cover someone? I don't know. I

692
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: think that Brown did it? Who Troy Brown? Trey Brown.

693
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: That's why the only time I've ever so I said,

694
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: maybe an offensive guy just flipped over to the defense

695
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: and just played corner. It was that was thank you.

696
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: I think it would be. I think it would be

697
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: smarter to call up Marquez White or um. Is there

698
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: another corner on the practice squad right now? Any seamster's

699
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: not still here? Is he? I don't know. I would

700
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: call somebody up because if Jordan Lewis can't go this week,

701
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 1: then you're looking at Orlando, Anthony Brown, Ben Bene, bin Wickery,

702
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: Xavier Woods. That's it, you know. Byron Jones also can

703
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: slide down. We gotta we gotta throw him in there.

704
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: You can't. Maybe they should, but yeah, I think the

705
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to struggle this week. I think if

706
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: they do win, it's gonna be because of their offense,

707
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: not because of the defense. And looking at last week,

708
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 1: I believe the Cowboys defensive line is their strongest point

709
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: right now on defense. Yes, rushing the quarterback now, I

710
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 1: think let's just let that sink in for thinking about

711
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: what we thought of this team going into training camp. Yeah,

712
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 1: and now look at him success. Pick pick your unit,

713
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: but see us. I think the best special teams is

714
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: maybe the only one that can compete. Let me let

715
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: me throw it farther like across the entire team, if

716
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, So including offense, every is that

717
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: the most productive on this team right now? It's not

718
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: a debatable. That's a good point. But see, I think

719
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: Golf can still play well even though when his pressure,

720
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: I think he keeps his focus. Maybe in some place

721
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 1: you'll mess him up a little bit, but I don't

722
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: think you'll make that much of an impact right here

723
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: unless they keep sacking him and stuff like that, but

724
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 1: obviously that's not gonna happen all the time. Therefore, I

725
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: think they'll have the ability to move that ball. And

726
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: the secondary is not very not looking good right now

727
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, so I don't think he'll be such

728
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: a good win from the defense. How do we how

729
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: do we sorry, how do we get mark Quez White

730
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: on the on the team? How would you get him

731
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: on the team? I mean, because you can't do anything

732
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: with the running back situation because the Zeke thing, they're

733
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna have another hearing after the Rams game, right, yes,

734
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: or one more? This is what I find. This is

735
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: the last game that we know for certain he's playing

736
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: it's scheduled for Monday or Tuesday next week, and then

737
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 1: after that if he's still playing. I think you could

738
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: probably do something at running back if you needed to.

739
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: But so how do you get that? Well, but here's

740
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: the thing. They have that hearing next week. That doesn't

741
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: necessarily mean that that the court will come back with

742
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: a decision, So so you might not. You still may

743
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 1: not find out for weeks from now. That's there's no Yeah,

744
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: there's no real time frame on when the court actually

745
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: comes back. I forget the running back position. Then how

746
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: do you get a spot somewhere else? It would have

747
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: to be Well, honestly, even not knowing, even not knowing

748
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with Zeek, you could figure up a

749
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: space at running back if you really, you could. There's

750
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: six of them right now, right if you count Keith

751
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: as a running back. Yeah, I think you think Rod

752
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: and Keith. You think you could get by without Rod

753
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: and Keith. I think you could get by without one

754
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: of them. I don't want them to cut either one

755
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: of them because I like those guys. But I mean

756
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: you could if you had to. But I could make Fadden.

757
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen? Who picks him up. I don't know,

758
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: some I bet somebody would. I do too. I kind

759
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: of think somebody would pick him up. Do you think

760
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: someone would pick up Alford Morris? Probably? Probably there's somebody

761
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: out there who's hurting it running back. I don't know

762
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: who it is, but they're out there. Um. Otherwise, I

763
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: mean if and I don't know, but if Cheeto's hamstring

764
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: is that much of a problem, you could maybe do

765
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: something with him other than that Carol's or Carol there's

766
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: not there's not a ton to go when when Irving

767
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: comes back. I mean, like, don't you think that one

768
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: of those defensive linemen maybe, I mean, who who Brian Price?

769
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: That's the only because they they I think we're playing

770
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: him out the right. But that's not the worst idea

771
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: when you see where you're going. Irving can play tackle,

772
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: and I think Crawford could could just be a tackle.

773
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: That's the only guy. Point, that's the only guy on

774
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 1: that line that I would feel comfortable cutting for various

775
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: reasons like so I don't know, um which, well, this

776
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,479
Speaker 1: is sort of related, But what I was going to say,

777
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: going into Amber's point, if Sean Lee can't go in

778
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: this game, that's super troubling to me for a variety

779
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: of reasons. One the obvious, Sean Lee's the best thing

780
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: about your run defense. He's amazing. He diagnoses like every

781
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: play before the running back even gets the ball more

782
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: often than not. And then number two, who the hell's

783
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: playing linebacker if he can't play? Probably I was gonna

784
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: say Durant is Durant and I slide in there. I

785
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: know that's not his typical position, but if it were me,

786
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: I would probably play Jalen at Mike and Damien at Will,

787
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: just because I think Damien's more athletic, and I went

788
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: him on the field. Yeah, and he flies around. I

789
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: love Justin Durant, but I kind of like him as

790
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: a situational guy. I don't know if I want him

791
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: out there, you'd have to play Wilbur a lot. Yeah, yeah,

792
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: and then you're thin as hell if some but he

793
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: gets hurt too. I mean that's a good as he can't.

794
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 1: He's a San Francisco forty nine ers. He would say

795
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: you miss that. Yes, that happened on Monday, Ranking News

796
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: that was big San Francisco signed King. News didn't know

797
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 1: San Francisco signed him to their active that they didn't

798
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: see it on our site? Is San Francisco forty nine?

799
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: Was it on our site? Probably not. He's making that

800
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: team look better maybe. Oh, you mean you know where

801
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,000

871
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: think you need a whole day. That was That was

872
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 1: pretty good. All right, Let's let's jump back in. Let's

873
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: get some phone calls you guys call us two one

Speaker 1: also hit us on Twitter at Howboys break will start

876
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 1: first with a call I mean, I'm sorry with a

877
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: question from Twitter. Do you guys think that Jason's knowledge

878
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 1: of Phillip's system will help him in this match. I

879
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: think you could say Wade's knowledge of Jason's system could

880
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 1: help him as well. So I think that I think

881
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: that whole that is a weekly overrated storyline. Somebody was

882
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: tweeting me or emailed me back in Denver. That was

883
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: like nobody's talking about how Ron Leary helping Broncos figure

884
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 1: out that. I don't like you understand that NFL teams

885
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,959
Speaker 1: have whole staffs of people that break this stuff down

886
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: weeks in advance. The Cowboys started looking at the Rams.

887
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: Not Jason Garrett and his coaches, but Cowboys staffers started

888
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: looking at the Rams. On Friday, they started watching tape

889
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: of these games they've been you know, it's a first

890
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: four week opponent, so this is definitely one of the

891
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: teams that they were looking back in April, May, June,

892
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: and July. The amount of man hours that NFL coaching

893
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: staff spend on scouting the opposition is insane. So the

894
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: fact that Jason Garrett worked with Wade for as many

895
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: years as he did years ago, I mean, when did

896
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: Wade left here in twenty ten? Yep, so that was

897
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: seven years ago. I mean, so much stuff has happened.

898
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: There's so many other things you can look at. The

899
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 1: personnel is completely different. I mean, he's playing Aaron Donald

900
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: in the three four as opposed to a four to three.

901
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: It's that I don't buy that as a meaningful thing.

902
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: What do you think about Heath cover skills and opposing

903
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:34,919
Speaker 1: teams passing down? I'd rather replace him with Woods at

904
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,760
Speaker 1: some point, and I'm starting I'm starting to think Xavier

905
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: Woods will be a starting safety by the end of

906
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: the year. Maybe I could see that happening over Heath.

907
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: It's possible. I mean, he's already out there. They're already

908
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: playing him in safety in certain looks. Who do you

909
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: think has played better in the first three games, Heath

910
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: or Jones? Just Jeff Heath, He's played better, I think

911
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: so I did two. And I don't think it's because

912
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: as well, we're expecting a lot of at a Jones

913
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: and Heath is the first year. I mean, Heath has

914
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: actually been here longer than Jones. Can I say neither? Yeah,

915
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean because I don't think. I mean it's if

916
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,760
Speaker 1: you want to say one's been better than the other, Okay, whatever,

917
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's been a sizeable difference number one

918
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: in number two. I don't think I've seen play from

919
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: either one that suggested me I'm happy with the safety

920
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: position right now, right, But but I think that we

921
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: need to be careful too, because Xavier Woods comes in.

922
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: He's made some plays on special teams, he's made some

923
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: plays around the line of scrimmage, and we're saying, hey,

924
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: this guy's playing well, and he and he is, but

925
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: you can need to be careful to say, all right,

926
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: since he's playing so well, he'll be fine back there

927
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: as the last line of defense as a rookie I

928
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: mean Madden syndrome, right, And maybe I've just fell for

929
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: it myself a little bit. But the fact that he's

930
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: handled everything they've asked them to do so far, and

931
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: they trust him enough, they've they're already putting him back there.

932
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 1: They're doing it mainly in like dime and when they

933
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: play deacon and stuff like that, basically in situations where

934
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: it'd be for him to screw it up. That's basically

935
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: what it's looked like. But the fact that he's already

936
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: done that much in three weeks after being limited for

937
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: the second half of training camp, that's really encouraging, honestly.

938
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: I mean, Jeff Heath hasn't been great, but I don't

939
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 1: think he's been terrible either. I mean, he made a

940
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: nice play on a ball in Denver where he broke

941
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: up what might have been a touchdown right And I again,

942
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: I know the play didn't count, but I was very

943
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: impressed by the read he made on that throw that

944
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: he almost intercepted. Um. No, he's not a pro bowler,

945
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: but I don't think he's been absolutely awful either. And

946
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: again I'm not saying I'm not saying that they've been great.

947
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they've been awful. What I do

948
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: know is that I want a little more consistency out

949
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: of the safety position. I think they've both been in

950
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: situations where I've seen him miss tackles and make bad

951
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: I mean we used to jump on JJ Wilcox a

952
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: bunch for bad angles and missing tackles. And when you

953
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,919
Speaker 1: got a safety, that's one of their primary responsibilities because

954
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: they are the last line of defense in many cases.

955
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: So and you know some of those deep balls, like

956
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: you see the safety kind of trailing back there, like

957
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: where were you? That was a play that you probably

958
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 1: needed to be a part of. And so all I'm

959
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: saying is right now, at the safety position, I haven't

960
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 1: been thrilled with what I've seen. I think there are

961
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: some positive things, but I think there's just as many

962
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,399
Speaker 1: negative things. I want to set. First touchdown, That first

963
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: touchdown of the game, I mean not good. Heath was

964
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: was over there. But looking at the play Heath was

965
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: was trying to he was going with like the All

966
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: Pro Larry Fitzgerald. I mean he ran to the to

967
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: the outside, so he had to follow him. I mean

968
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: I think it was Byron Jones that wasn't over there.

969
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: But I think you're seeing signs that this is what

970
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: I mean. Your six primary dbs have not played a

971
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,439
Speaker 1: lot of games together, right Yes, and it looks they're

972
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,959
Speaker 1: not well coordinated right now. It looks like that. Yeah,

973
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: So who would you guys like to Sorry, but who

974
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: would you guys like to see going up against Gurley?

975
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: Line up against him? Are you are they asking more

976
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: from this somebody when he gets going? Who would be

977
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: the best guy that you would like to see him

978
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 1: cover once he gets going down the field? I mean,

979
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: I want Sean Lee to play this game. If you're

980
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: gonna help limit Todd Gurley just again in the sense

981
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: of he's as good as the defensive line has been.

982
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,720
Speaker 1: He's the best thing about the run defense in my opinion.

983
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 1: I mean, can't count how many times live. But then

984
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: also when you go back on tape where he's just

985
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: knifes through the line and makes that tackle for it

986
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:30,720
Speaker 1: has a chance. If it's not him, the next best

987
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: option would have to be Damien Wilson. Yep, Jalen Smith

988
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:39,919
Speaker 1: is He's gonna get there, but he's to me where

989
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: you see the one deficiency for him is speed. His speed,

990
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 1: I don't think it is there just yet. I mean,

991
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: he's got a brace on his ankle like like that

992
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,919
Speaker 1: he's running with. He's got a great reaction. He gets there,

993
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 1: he hits people. It reminds me of the when Rolando

994
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 1: McClain got here and he's just finishing the play. But

995
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: when he has to, when he has to really run

996
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: in the open field, you can kind of see it

997
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: in his run. It's not the same. So that one

998
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: would kind of scare me a little bit. But I

999
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: think Damian Wilson, I think he could, he could play well.

1000
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: He could be a factor in this game. And he

1001
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 1: might need to be. Even if Sean lee Is is healthy,

1002
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: he's really good and to that point, he's good in space.

1003
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: It's like when he's not good, it's when he can't

1004
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: get away from his the blocks, if he can't get

1005
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: away from the offensive line. But when he's out in space,

1006
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: he's a really athletic dude, and he more often than

1007
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: not makes the tackle. So he could be big this week.

1008
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:34,760
Speaker 1: The last time they played the Rams was at fourteen

1009
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: in Saint Louis. Is that the last time that in

1010
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 1: the regular sea the regular season? Um? I think I

1011
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: think that was the game. Hitchins had eighteen tackles. He

1012
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: was a beast. He had to start that game. Yeah

1013
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: he had. I believe he had a fourth down stop. Yeah. Yeah.

1014
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: He had a bunch of bo plays as a as

1015
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: a rookie. So because I don't think was it Austin

1016
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: Davis the quarterbacks, sounds like Jared Goff is gonna be

1017
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: a little better than that. Bruce Carter had to pick

1018
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: six below A Bourne sealed the go on the game.

1019
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 1: Proud Brian, Proud Brian. Let's grab me a phone call

1020
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: from Tim and New York doesn't want to talk about Sam.

1021
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: What up, Hey, how you guys doing great? First to

1022
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 1: get to football in just second. But I quickly have

1023
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: to say, really appreciated that twenty minutes yesterday at the

1024
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: start of the show that you guys were talking about

1025
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: race relations and different things. I think that's a good conversation.

1026
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: It's something that we need. And I must say, Derek

1027
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: Um totally agree with you about the comment that you

1028
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 1: made of how that Washington the country in general needs

1029
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: to come together as compromise on some things. I think

1030
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: that we've just been too divided too long. Like to

1031
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 1: see our leaders take the league in doing that. But

1032
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: anyways to football. So earlier you guys were talking, Nick

1033
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: brought up bringing up Mark Quz White for the cornerback situation,

1034
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: and so I was thinking, why not look at releasing

1035
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: this week to do that, um Price and then bring

1036
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: up Marquez, see how he does see the health of

1037
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: the cornerbacks next week, and then perhaps UM at that

1038
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: point release Ben Wickery if that's a possibility, and keeping

1039
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: White then as on the UM fifty three so UM

1040
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: and then get Irving. So what you think about that?

1041
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:31,879
Speaker 1: All right, that's good, that's a good call. I kind

1042
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: of I kind of get that and then bring the

1043
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: ding into Yeah, I think that probably depends on their

1044
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: comfort level. If you release Price and he plays, it's

1045
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: not like he's not a part of this. And Nick

1046
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 1: always says he's their only big body. I mean that's

1047
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: a big guy, that just body that just sits down

1048
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: in the middle. Highrely depends on your comfort level playing

1049
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: this game with basically three defensive tackles, one of whom

1050
00:51:56,239 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: right three this game Paya, Collins and Crawford, and well,

1051
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: I guess you would have Crawford. Yet it doesn't leave

1052
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: you with a lot of depth at defensive tackle if

1053
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 1: you do that. But like I said, he's the one

1054
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. I could see them being willing to release

1055
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,720
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, that makes sense. But remember this about

1056
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 1: the Marquez White been Wickery and we're only four weeks removed,

1057
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: I guess from cut down day, and they could have

1058
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: done the same thing then. I mean they could have

1059
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 1: had been Wickery. I mean they didn't have to go

1060
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: get him. They could have put Marquez White on the team.

1061
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 1: They chose to do that, so at that point they

1062
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,919
Speaker 1: looked at it and said, Hey, this guy is way

1063
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: better than him. Let's go make this move. And cut

1064
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: Marquez and hope we can get it back. So we'll

1065
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 1: see if if things have changed that much since then.

1066
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, but I like that thinking.

1067
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 1: But I don't know about cutting price for this game

1068
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: this week. I think you cut price if you could

1069
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 1: get Irving back into the mix. I'm almost to the

1070
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 1: point like I don't want to make any changes right

1071
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 1: now to that defensive line. I'm like, okay, let's just

1072
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 1: leave it like that for right now. Not did he

1073
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: much he make a play? Though? Did he? I don't

1074
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 1: even remember him in the game. I remember him being

1075
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 1: in the game. I couldn't point to a specific play

1076
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:17,280
Speaker 1: that he made. But but but a guy in that position,

1077
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: you're not gonna notice, right, You're you're right, and they

1078
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 1: you know Paia and and maliek Collins, and Malie's not

1079
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: undersized at all. Pia though, is for that for that position,

1080
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 1: and so you know Crawford's guys playing in so I

1081
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: mean he's somewhat undersized too. I mean, at some point

1082
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: you do want that, you know, big body guy in

1083
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: there to kind of clog the middle. And let's remember

1084
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,359
Speaker 1: the you kind of said it the same way. But Ben,

1085
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:48,800
Speaker 1: they've been wickery was more about getting some veteran presence

1086
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 1: in this secondary where you got a bunch of young

1087
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,880
Speaker 1: guys and then they and so are they willing to

1088
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:55,879
Speaker 1: now forego that? You know, you still got a bunch

1089
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: of young guys, and by the way, a couple of

1090
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 1: them are injured, So you kind of wanted that veteran presence.

1091
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 1: You wanted to add a little more of a veteran

1092
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: presence to that group, and that's why you brought him in.

1093
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's changed in three weeks, right, Yeah,

1094
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: I guess whoever that was, I was one. I couldn't

1095
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: tell if he was still on the line or not.

1096
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: That's okay, he's not anymore, all right, Thanks for the call.

1097
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:17,439
Speaker 1: It was a good call. I's second to the question

1098
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 1: from twitter. You guys think that DeMarcus Lawrence will be

1099
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: able to take advantage of how far golf drops back

1100
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: when he's trying to throw it pass, haven't. I'm great,

1101
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 1: that's a great question. I'm honestly, I haven't had a

1102
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: whole lot of time to study the Rams offense. I

1103
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: fell asleep at eight thirty last night when I got home.

1104
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,439
Speaker 1: But I don't think the drop really matters so much

1105
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: as I mean, Andrew Whitworth is a Pro Bowl tackle.

1106
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: He's good player, shout out at LSU. He's on the

1107
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: left side. That's not demark I mean, and I know

1108
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: DeMarcus played both sides in this game, but I still think,

1109
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: at least for right now, I would imagine he's primarily

1110
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 1: your left end. So he's going against Rob Havenstein. He's

1111
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 1: twenty wentworth, No exactly, It's really I don't care about

1112
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: how back, how far back he's dropping. I care about

1113
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: the quality of the tackle he's I think so um.

1114
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: I think I remember putting him like in a mock

1115
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: draft or something like that, fourth or fifth round. Here's

1116
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: the big thing for me is and again you know,

1117
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I will. I'm gonna go and watch the

1118
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: Rams offense and defense tonight when I get home from work.

1119
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: But it seems like Sean mcvay's whole thing is getting

1120
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: the ball out quick. It's kind of I don't know

1121
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: if it's like purely West Coast, but it's a very

1122
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: it's a you know, I don't think he's I don't

1123
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: think the goal is for him to be holding the

1124
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 1: ball for you know, four or five six seconds. I

1125
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: think they want to get it out quick. So that's

1126
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: what I'm looking for, is just that kind of like

1127
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 1: Eli Manning, he's throwing the ball before you really have

1128
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: a chance to get your pass rush back there. So

1129
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: that's what I'm looking for. I know they did have

1130
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:59,720
Speaker 1: a Thursday game last week, but Taylor Austin and Sammy

1131
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:03,479
Speaker 1: Watkins were in the concussion protocol to finish the game.

1132
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,359
Speaker 1: Don't know kind of where they stand now. Like it's

1133
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: funny like with another with another guy has a concussion

1134
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,399
Speaker 1: on the other team, you're like, oh man, they'll be back.

1135
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: Of course on this team though, you're thinking it's not

1136
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: a given for I'll see him in November. Yeah, I

1137
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 1: mean we could gathers Is on IR and Nolan Carroll

1138
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: has missed one game and probably will miss another. So

1139
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 1: and that's the thing that with concussions day that's probably

1140
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 1: with every injury, but certainly with concussions, it's so different.

1141
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: You never know with every guy. Like you guys said,

1142
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: Ron Leary was in the concussion protocol. Bill surprised me.

1143
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys played them, and I think he was in the

1144
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 1: protocol for six days and then was ready to play

1145
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,879
Speaker 1: on Sunday. So well, it just depends on kind of

1146
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: the I guess the level of severity of the of

1147
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: the injury. All right, guys, appreciate you joining us. We're

1148
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,280
Speaker 1: back tomorrow. Nine thirties are normal time. Actually, stay tuned

1149
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 1: ten thirty am today, got talking Cowboys coming right up.

1150
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 1: I see Taylor walkins through with a big smile on

1151
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 1: her face, so she must have something really interesting to

1152
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 1: tell you. Guys, make sure you join us. Small until

1153
