Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This he's Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco, bowing to the gold line, Saw has
Speaker 1: got ta and now your hosts Isaiah Stanback, heck Ma Harrison,
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, and Kyle Yeomans. It is a midweek edition
Speaker 1: of Talking Cowboys presented by Tostito's, the official Chip and
Speaker 1: the official tip of the Dallas Cowboys. Here from the
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. Heck Ma Harrison, Isaiah Stanback, Rob Phillips,
Speaker 1: Kyle Yeoman's Chris Beam in the back. Gentlemen, how's it going.
Speaker 1: I'm fantabulous. Fantabulous. That's a good word. Still swell good, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be swelled every time. Like it peachy again?
Speaker 1: I love it all right. News and notes for the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: As Week six is upon us, the Patriots look ahead,
Speaker 1: and throughout the next forty five minutes, we preview the
Speaker 1: Patriots offense and the Cowboys defense and just exactly what
Speaker 1: the Patriots do or do not really bring to the
Speaker 1: table in this matchup. But First, we have some updates
Speaker 1: from Rob Phillips. Where would you like me to start.
Speaker 1: How about Lyle Collins? Okay, Lyle Collins will not be
Speaker 1: back this week. What Judge Amos Mazant did denied his
Speaker 1: request for an emergency tro and junction whatever you want
Speaker 1: to call it. He was trying to get back this week,
Speaker 1: so one more games. He's already back in the building.
Speaker 1: He's able to do certain things, work out, being certain meetings,
Speaker 1: but he will be fully back and able to play
Speaker 1: after the buy. Would you like me to get into
Speaker 1: all the details of the case or just kind of
Speaker 1: go very high level pretend on Mattlocke. Let's do that? Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean it comes down to actually get into the details.
Speaker 1: I want to know the details. I can't I'm able
Speaker 1: to give you very high level details. Okay, Okay, there's
Speaker 1: a lot into this, But I think ultimately it sounded
Speaker 1: like he he wasn't sure it was a the NFL
Speaker 1: was in the right in terms of what the CBA
Speaker 1: says and what they did in terms of suspending him
Speaker 1: five games, But ultimately, in his brief, he said the
Speaker 1: court cannot disregard an arbitrator's reasonable construction of the party's agreement.
Speaker 1: So I don't understand that exactly. I mean, to me,
Speaker 1: that's like both sides there. You disagree with it, but
Speaker 1: you're you know, but you're upholding the suspension. So it's
Speaker 1: probably deeper than what I understand. But anyway, he's not
Speaker 1: back this week, and Terrence Steele will start it right
Speaker 1: tackle and doesn't get those game checks back like we
Speaker 1: were talking about earlier, which hurts a la l for
Speaker 1: a certain amount of time. Those are big game checks too. Things.
Speaker 1: I thought the funniest thing about the whole deal was
Speaker 1: that the judge says, you know, while you have a
Speaker 1: really good case against NFL, but I'm not gonna get
Speaker 1: for you. So yeah, yeah, that's that. He's like, you
Speaker 1: got a really good case, you're coming at me really good,
Speaker 1: but we're not good for you. Just kidding and with
Speaker 1: Zeke when he actually is the same judge who you know,
Speaker 1: blocked Zeke's suspension and gave him that tro And it
Speaker 1: comes down to it came down to irreparable harm. Could
Speaker 1: could they prove that that being gone and losing those
Speaker 1: game checks was irreparable harm to Zeke? And I guess
Speaker 1: maybe that wasn't proven in this hearing last Friday. So again,
Speaker 1: one more game for for LC, one more game for
Speaker 1: Terrence Steel as well as he's got that final game
Speaker 1: before the bye week, and it is good. I mean,
Speaker 1: you look at even just in the on field repercussions
Speaker 1: of this. Heck, I mean, Lyle Collins is gonna go
Speaker 1: into weeks what was that Week eight of the NFL,
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be fresh. You don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about the neck that was bothering him earlier in the year.
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about the hip, of course.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think we were all really that
Speaker 1: worried about his longevity and his health issues. But I
Speaker 1: mean he's gonna have a fresh start midway through the year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we were worried about him, you know, obviously,
Speaker 1: like you said, coming into the season, hoping that that
Speaker 1: laboram surgery that he had on his hip had gotten better.
Speaker 1: He missed all last year obviously, but tarn still again,
Speaker 1: we have to give him the props that he deserves
Speaker 1: because everybody had bubble guts when you figured out that
Speaker 1: Layelle was gonna go down, and so it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a situation where you already were worried about him as
Speaker 1: far as the neck, all of that tern still fills in.
Speaker 1: You give him a little bit more time to get better,
Speaker 1: hoping that is obvious the case that he comes back
Speaker 1: ready to go. And from everything that I hear about
Speaker 1: people working with Brett Brown, I need to work with
Speaker 1: Bret Brown. I need is he if he is the
Speaker 1: miracle worker like that. I need to get out there
Speaker 1: on them bands with him, because I mean, just as
Speaker 1: the way that he turned Chauncey Ghoston who didn't have
Speaker 1: a training camp, and then he comes in and he's fresh,
Speaker 1: ready to go, Leo will come back just like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the bands suck. The bands sucked, but they're awesome at
Speaker 1: the same time. I promise you everybody who touches the
Speaker 1: bands wants to hurry up and get back to practice
Speaker 1: because that session with Britt is much more challenging than
Speaker 1: it is to be on the practice field. It looks easy.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what makes it look why? I mean, what
Speaker 1: make constant resistance? The entire time those bands that he
Speaker 1: walks out there with, it looks like he's carrying dog on.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what it looks like. The rope
Speaker 1: from Heil. But those things work, man, and I'm a
Speaker 1: fan of bands. Because of my time with Britt, I
Speaker 1: spent way too much time with Brett unfortunately, so sorry
Speaker 1: Cowboy's Nation. I spent most most of my time with
Speaker 1: that dude, but he got me back from all my injuries. Goodness. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody wants to go through that a
Speaker 1: little bit longer than they need to. And there are
Speaker 1: a couple of guys going through it longer than they
Speaker 1: need to. Nevill Gallimore, Trustin Hill, a couple names Michael
Speaker 1: Gallop in there as well. Any other news and notes
Speaker 1: from yesterday, Rob, I don't think so. I think that
Speaker 1: was that was the main one. I think we mentioned
Speaker 1: the injuries yesterday. They do practice today. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if it's gonna be outside or inside because we got
Speaker 1: rain coming, but we'll have a better idea if anybody's
Speaker 1: limited it all. You know, Zeke and and Amari were
Speaker 1: limited last week in practice. Randy Gregory too, but everybody
Speaker 1: was able to go. Zeke was pretty sore after this game.
Speaker 1: I mean that pylon thing. I mean, like you said
Speaker 1: that you think the bands look easy like that pylon
Speaker 1: looks like a little pillow, but it's not apparently so. Well,
Speaker 1: the base of that thing is like hard plastic, right,
Speaker 1: you can see it when it got knocked over. It
Speaker 1: that thing, so there's no give. There's no give and
Speaker 1: that no give. Yeah, and he talked about it. Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy talked about it. Yeah, we just probably move it
Speaker 1: a little bit. Supposed to be at the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, let's push you back a little bit. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's listen to what Zeke had to talk about with
Speaker 1: that pylon, because it was it was really funny. Here's
Speaker 1: what he said about the landing on the pylon after
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, I fell on a pylon. That thing.
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard. Maybe it's a fin spot for it.
Speaker 1: There you go. That's exactly what he said. Just make
Speaker 1: it like a hologram or something. Let's take advantage of
Speaker 1: all this great technology we have, you know, and just
Speaker 1: have a fake pilot. He's definitely trying to buy that
Speaker 1: pylon right now, and so set her to sign it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can see that we're finding new ways that they
Speaker 1: can improve, you know, the dack touchdown that never was,
Speaker 1: you know, and put a microchip in the football. We
Speaker 1: hate to be the poster child for all of this
Speaker 1: needing uh technology out here though, like you said that
Speaker 1: the Dack touchdown that wasn't and the pylon. Come on, now,
Speaker 1: can we what's next? Can we trademark these ideas? You
Speaker 1: guys are trademark and then talk about it. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: guys are going giving this right three. You guys are
Speaker 1: doing this as an entrepreneur. They like, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: What are you doing? What are you doing? By the way,
Speaker 1: you mentioned rain potentially today kind of being the deciding
Speaker 1: factor on whether or not to go outside or go inside.
Speaker 1: But what about Sunday? I mean the last time the
Speaker 1: Cowboys made their way to New England, I mean it
Speaker 1: was supposed to be rainy or it was rainy and
Speaker 1: cold and was one of the sloppiest games on natural
Speaker 1: field turf thing you've seen. And god knows how long,
Speaker 1: at least at the moment looking at the forecast going
Speaker 1: into Sunday, there is a minor chance of rain. It
Speaker 1: was like fifteen percent this morning. So that's a good thing.
Speaker 1: That's thumbs up if you wanted to talk about the
Speaker 1: weather that you would face potentially in Foxboro. So that
Speaker 1: way you don't look at twenty nineteen again and have
Speaker 1: a repeat of that. That game was a mess, and
Speaker 1: it honestly came down to really Brady had one big
Speaker 1: completion in that game and that kind of made the difference.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's it was very difficult for the quarterbacks
Speaker 1: to function in that game. That I say a standback,
Speaker 1: you would have loved that twenty nineteen game because it
Speaker 1: was all special teams. Yeah, it was not good for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys that day. When the weather acts up there,
Speaker 1: it gets rough, it gets really weird because of how
Speaker 1: the wind comes into that stadium. It's swirls like crazy.
Speaker 1: It's like literally the one ends on it just like
Speaker 1: a little wind tunnel. It just comes in and it
Speaker 1: just shot and then it goes out. But hopefully it's
Speaker 1: not too windy out there, because again it will change
Speaker 1: the way in which you have to post the game.
Speaker 1: And these are two very different teams facing off this
Speaker 1: week than what we saw in twenty nineteen. So let's
Speaker 1: start talking about that Patriots offense. And of course the
Speaker 1: biggest difference from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty is no
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I mean he is not a part neither
Speaker 1: as Julian Atowin is. I guess Rob was already retired
Speaker 1: by that point. Gronkowski I think he took that was
Speaker 1: the year. Yeah, so either way, I mean, the three
Speaker 1: cornerstones of that team are not there on offense. And
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the defense more tomorrow. The defense is
Speaker 1: real still, But what kind of strengths does the Patriots
Speaker 1: offense bring to the table in this matchup, because at
Speaker 1: least at the moment, heck, but I don't see a
Speaker 1: ton of things that they could take advantage of. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean it's really outrunic, you know, you talk about it,
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniel as offensive coordinator and Kellen Moore and where
Speaker 1: he is right now, the parallels between the two, because
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniel at one point was a hot commodity. Kellen
Speaker 1: Moore right now is scorching hot. Everybody's talking about him
Speaker 1: if future head coaching. But yeah, I think that when
Speaker 1: you look at the Pats right now, they are in
Speaker 1: the mold of where they were when Tom Brady first
Speaker 1: took over as quarterback. They want to keep the game
Speaker 1: as close as they possibly can. They want to play defense,
Speaker 1: and they want to get you into a slug fest,
Speaker 1: and they want to make and want to make you
Speaker 1: make a mistake. You know, if you make a mistake,
Speaker 1: they get a turnover, they can get an easy point,
Speaker 1: they can force you into that. But there's nothing explosive
Speaker 1: explosive about this offense right now. They've only scored eight
Speaker 1: touchdowns in five games, three rushing touchdowns in five passing touchdowns.
Speaker 1: So not allowed to be afraid of. But what they
Speaker 1: can do fundamentally is play era free football and they're
Speaker 1: not gonna beat themselves. And in the turn the ball
Speaker 1: over the whole heck of a lot do things stupid,
Speaker 1: But they still have a rookie quarterback. And you have
Speaker 1: to force the hand of this rookie quarterback to do
Speaker 1: some of the things that we've benefited from greatly, and
Speaker 1: that's the turnover differential. I loved your article about the
Speaker 1: turnover differential. Man talk about Mike McCarthy when he was
Speaker 1: a Green Bay dump capers all that. I loved it.
Speaker 1: I took a lot from that too, But uh, you know,
Speaker 1: it's just man, not a lot. Again. I don't want
Speaker 1: to try and feel as though like we're just gonna
Speaker 1: run him and knock them out, because it's not gonna
Speaker 1: happen there well coached team, but as far as the
Speaker 1: offense is concerned, look, it's just not a lot of explosion. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Personnel wise is where these guys are a kind of
Speaker 1: snake bit. They don't have the personnel that they've had
Speaker 1: in past years, nor the experience and in those positions, right,
Speaker 1: they don't have the experience at running back like they
Speaker 1: did before. They don't have the experience that receiver tight end.
Speaker 1: They got some dudes, right, they got some dude they
Speaker 1: but they spent they broke the bank to make sure
Speaker 1: they had some dudes at that position. Hunter Henry Johnny Smith. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: those two guys are real and those are two of
Speaker 1: the highly talted guys around the league last year, and
Speaker 1: they wouldn't got both of them. Um, So I think
Speaker 1: that that was on purpose. Obviously, not only because of
Speaker 1: the success that New England has had in the past
Speaker 1: with their recent with their tight ends, but obviously it
Speaker 1: gives a sense of security, right, And we talked about
Speaker 1: the safety blanket for like Dalton Schultz where he is
Speaker 1: to DAC right now. Those two guys are the safety
Speaker 1: blank it for mac Jones and it allows those guys
Speaker 1: not only sit in and block and give him protection,
Speaker 1: but also gives him an outlet and somebody some guys
Speaker 1: a throw to on the interior because they don't have
Speaker 1: the weapons on the outside. They still have Nelson al
Speaker 1: Gillard and a couple other guys. But those guys aren't
Speaker 1: guys that like, I fear the thing that we have.
Speaker 1: They always talk about it. Right, Identify right, respect, Never
Speaker 1: fear right, Identify respect, never fear your opponent. So identify
Speaker 1: who can hurt you? Well, you got the two tight
Speaker 1: ends I can hurt you. Okay, identify Also the quarterback.
Speaker 1: He's young, he's still learning, but he only has two
Speaker 1: percent less efficiency completion rate than DAC does. He has
Speaker 1: two more interceptions in Dak, right, but he has two.
Speaker 1: He's seventy one percent on his completion rate DAC seventy three.
Speaker 1: So let's not look at this and say, okay, but
Speaker 1: this guy's just young. He is their guy, their curveball
Speaker 1: that we have a watch out for. Is who their
Speaker 1: quarter offensive coordinator? Yeah, Daniels. As as this quarterback gets
Speaker 1: more comfortable in this system, they're going to become more
Speaker 1: of a threat. They will him. Josh McDaniels will find
Speaker 1: ways to get his playmakers a ball. Mac Jones will
Speaker 1: get more comfortable with the calls that Mike McDaniels has
Speaker 1: and those once their relationships starts blending, that's when things
Speaker 1: start happening. So I think that he's doing a good
Speaker 1: job in terms of managing the game. He just doesn't
Speaker 1: have the weapons that we have or the experience that
Speaker 1: Dak has to be as explosive as we are. But
Speaker 1: he's very efficient. Yeah, Jacoby Myers is their leading receiver
Speaker 1: and he actually his coming out party was that twenty
Speaker 1: nineteen game against the Cowboys when he had like seventy
Speaker 1: four yards as an undrafted guy, and he's kind of
Speaker 1: their lead receiver. Although I agree with you guys, Hunter
Speaker 1: Henry's kind of been maybe their biggest threat in the
Speaker 1: passing game. Damien Harris is questionable. Maybe for this game.
Speaker 1: We'll see. He's banged up. He heard his ribs in
Speaker 1: the Texans game, so we'll see. But you actually hit
Speaker 1: on my point. It's it's kind of like it's almost
Speaker 1: a new offense. I mean, the personnel is almost completely
Speaker 1: different than certainly since the last time the Cowboys played them,
Speaker 1: And I totally agree with the fact that mac Jones.
Speaker 1: They'll get better as you already see him more comfortable
Speaker 1: as we go. You watch that Tampa Bay game and
Speaker 1: it's impressive how kind of unflappable he is. And he
Speaker 1: had no running game to speak of in that game
Speaker 1: as well. And the stats show he's getting better against
Speaker 1: the Blitz and you saw it against the Houston game.
Speaker 1: They'll work the middle of the field on you. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know the guys with crossing routes, and you see
Speaker 1: that with Aglar and and Myers, so we'll see it's
Speaker 1: it's not an offense that is really testing people down
Speaker 1: the field a lot. But again, yeah, they don't make
Speaker 1: a ton of mistakes, so you can't do what you
Speaker 1: did on Sunday and turn the ball over and give
Speaker 1: him extra possessions, give them more chances to get some
Speaker 1: drives going. Yeah, points will be at a premium because
Speaker 1: if you get into a situation where you start off
Speaker 1: slow like you did against the Giants, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: they'll get you an a dog a dog fight. But
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you when you make that comparison
Speaker 1: from mac Jones and Dak as far as they're completion
Speaker 1: percentage right now, what do you, I mean, as far
Speaker 1: as your evaluation of him as a quarterback, being a
Speaker 1: formal quarterback, do you see a guy that's a bus Obviously,
Speaker 1: he's a rookie, so he's a bus driver, all right,
Speaker 1: So he's he's not able to get to that third
Speaker 1: read yet, but he's exceptional as a rookie in his
Speaker 1: first and second read. With them letting go of Cam
Speaker 1: and all of that, did you think that, you know,
Speaker 1: they needed that dynamic to their offense because they don't
Speaker 1: have the explosion or the ability to stretch the field
Speaker 1: or even him, even him be a dynamic runner. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think obviously losing Cam, you lost ability for somebody
Speaker 1: to create. Yeah. There, um, but I don't think that
Speaker 1: it would have changed much in terms of their ability
Speaker 1: to throw the ball more effectively because they just don't
Speaker 1: have the weapons on the outside, that is personnel. Have
Speaker 1: they ever Yeah, I mean so Yeah. The reason I
Speaker 1: don't think that they've ever had I want to say ever,
Speaker 1: they've had guys in the past that were dominant, right,
Speaker 1: but it's usually on the interior. They work you on
Speaker 1: the inside to your point, right, And so they've always
Speaker 1: had I've always had Welker they always had Edelman, They've
Speaker 1: always had you know, the tight ends grown. They've always
Speaker 1: had guys on the interior the exterior. They really have
Speaker 1: never ever been truly that concern with that um setar
Speaker 1: from my time there when they had Moss. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: so that was it. They like the work the inside
Speaker 1: of the field because there's more there's more field on
Speaker 1: the interior than there's an exterior, right um. And that's
Speaker 1: where they run their offense at and they hurt you
Speaker 1: with their running backs out the back field. That's how
Speaker 1: New England's always hurt you. But to that point, you know, McDaniels,
Speaker 1: The more comfortable that these two get their relationship, the
Speaker 1: more tightly woven that they get, the more dangerous they're
Speaker 1: going to become. Mac Jones looks very composed, very composed
Speaker 1: as I break down the film on him. He nothing
Speaker 1: startles him. His footwork is amazing. It's very Tom Brady
Speaker 1: ish in terms of his footwork in yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: in terms of guys and how the how guys are
Speaker 1: rushing and gets him. He just slides up one step here,
Speaker 1: one step there. His eyes never come off down field.
Speaker 1: It's just his guys have to get open. And I
Speaker 1: think the more confident that Josh, the more comfortable Josh
Speaker 1: McDaniels becomes with his personnel, the more he'll start getting
Speaker 1: in his bag. Because we all know Josh McDaniels is
Speaker 1: getting his bag and we'll break it down in the
Speaker 1: field room. I got some stuff that Jesus. I mean
Speaker 1: the way he draws stuff up. He has two three
Speaker 1: options in terms of concepts within one play that works
Speaker 1: against whatever the defense presents. It's amazing. So the more
Speaker 1: confident that McDaniels gets with his personnel, the more dangerous
Speaker 1: these guys become. And these guys really want to beat
Speaker 1: you down. It's always been the case in New England.
Speaker 1: They physically want to out just outman you. They want
Speaker 1: to run you into the ground. Defensively they're big and
Speaker 1: they're heavy right, but offensively their office ave line, they
Speaker 1: had two guys they were on the COVID list last
Speaker 1: year that didn't opted out, so they got they're still
Speaker 1: getting their feet underneath them in two in terms of
Speaker 1: continuity on that line. So this is a team that's upcoming,
Speaker 1: let's just make sure that their coming out party isn't
Speaker 1: against us. I agree, and I think Josh McDaniels as
Speaker 1: a play caller still has a lot to offer. I mean,
Speaker 1: even though he, like you said, isn't maybe that hot
Speaker 1: commodity he was at one point for head coaching jobs,
Speaker 1: he's a heck of a coordinator. I mean, he puts
Speaker 1: the playbook on the table and it is it is
Speaker 1: pretty pretty big, and he's got the Super Bowl rings
Speaker 1: to prove it. Yeah, and you could say maybe he's
Speaker 1: not a hot commodity, but I think he's just going
Speaker 1: to be the coach there day. I I just don't
Speaker 1: think he's going anywhere until Bill leaves and he's the
Speaker 1: guy in waiting. That's just I mean, I have notice,
Speaker 1: and they're most comfortable with. I mean, he keeps going
Speaker 1: back there, right he left it, he was there, he left,
Speaker 1: he came back. He was like, I'm just gonna sit here.
Speaker 1: He's had other opportunities since then. He was just like, nah,
Speaker 1: I'm a post I'm good right here. I'm a good
Speaker 1: where I'm sitting. One way you see him create his
Speaker 1: creativity is in the red zone. Because they especially I
Speaker 1: was just watching the game last week. They they've struggled
Speaker 1: down there, struggle cashing in. I think some of it
Speaker 1: is they've had some some offensive line issues. Guys have
Speaker 1: been banged up, so you'll see them go wildcat, um
Speaker 1: try to do some different things to catch the defense
Speaker 1: that weird guard. Isn't that weird? I mean they do
Speaker 1: all of those great conventional things all the way up
Speaker 1: into the red zone, and then they go it's completely
Speaker 1: out of I mean they've double reverse wildcat stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I mean, when they get down the red that's got
Speaker 1: to be a worry for them, because if you look
Speaker 1: at the amount of field goals that they kick, they're
Speaker 1: just once they the whole offense sputters out. And I
Speaker 1: think that's a byproduct of having that rookie quarterback that
Speaker 1: is not able to act, acly dissect and see the
Speaker 1: concepts that you're talking about. And so maybe later next year,
Speaker 1: but as long as he has a defense, he's always
Speaker 1: gonna have a chance. And that's what they have, is
Speaker 1: a defense. There's gonna be a trip, there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a point, and again I hope it's not against us.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a moment where it clicks for him
Speaker 1: and he's like, I got I got Smith, I got
Speaker 1: freaking Henry, and I got Harris coming out of the
Speaker 1: backfield or whoever else, right, and those guys are gonna
Speaker 1: He's gonna figure out how to get those guys into
Speaker 1: those dog on a little holes. And once he gets
Speaker 1: confidence in terms of just being able to give those
Speaker 1: guys ability to make plays. When you're young, you think
Speaker 1: that everything has to be perfect. You think that you're
Speaker 1: when you're a young quarterback, you think that your ball
Speaker 1: has to be on the money. You think that everything
Speaker 1: has to be right there on the guys. As soon
Speaker 1: as you learn to trust your personnel, just liked knows
Speaker 1: how to trust everybody else that we have on our offense.
Speaker 1: Right now, He'll throw it up there and guys will
Speaker 1: go snag and he's like, Okay, as long as I
Speaker 1: put it in this area, you know, my guy can
Speaker 1: go get it. I don't think he knows that yet.
Speaker 1: He hasn't he hasn't let that go, He hasn't let
Speaker 1: that control go point to that point. But once he
Speaker 1: realizes that those guys can make plays, that those are
Speaker 1: some of the best guys at their position in the league. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's that's going to open up his his his box.
Speaker 1: And most of the guys he trust, right now on
Speaker 1: that offense are playing tight end at the moment. And
Speaker 1: so when we come back here on talking Cowboys, What Cowboys,
Speaker 1: defenders are going to have the toughest task trying to
Speaker 1: cover Hunter Henry and John Nu Smith. When we return
Speaker 1: with more from the Star, Honey, big news. Gary? Are
Speaker 1: you okay? Oh? I'm not Gary anymore. I'm Jackie Flash.
Speaker 1: What see? I want the latest smartphone, but the best
Speaker 1: deals are only for new customers. So to get a
Speaker 1: new customer deal, I changed my name to Jackie Flash. Okay,
Speaker 1: But the best smartphone deals at AT AT and T are
Speaker 1: for everyone, new and existing customers. That's huge. Then guess
Speaker 1: who's getting the deal? Is it Jackie Flash, Jackie Flash?

Speaker 1: Second segment. Here on a beautiful Wednesday, a wonderful Wednesday,
Speaker 1: maybe a rainy Wednesday. That'll keep the Cowboys indoors for
Speaker 1: practice today. Heckma Isaiah, Rob Kyle got Chris Beam in
Speaker 1: the back and we were just talking about the tight ends,
Speaker 1: and goodness, gracious, I don't know a team that has
Speaker 1: so much talent at tight end but so little talent
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. Because even the teams that even the
Speaker 1: teams that have talent at tight end, I mean Kansas
Speaker 1: City got a guy outside. Yeah, maybe San Francisco Kittle.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not a ton of guys outside there,
Speaker 1: but they still got Brandon Eu can some guys that
Speaker 1: can make some damn it or have rereak some havoc
Speaker 1: in the on the outside. But man, most of the
Speaker 1: talent is inside. So I ask you this question, rob
Speaker 1: who's challenged the most out of the tight ends and
Speaker 1: what they could potentially do on this Cowboys defense. Um, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, Curse has been a guy that they've played
Speaker 1: i mean pretty much every snap in that big nickel
Speaker 1: because of his ability to cover tight ends. Um. You know.
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons is a guy. You know, he was on
Speaker 1: Gronk and the Opener, and we'll see what he does.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's they've kind of moved him around obviously,
Speaker 1: but I think this might be a game where he's
Speaker 1: best suited at linebacker. I mean, because you mentioned what
Speaker 1: the backs can do out of the backfield tight ends
Speaker 1: or the strength of their offense, and having his speed
Speaker 1: behind the behind the line of scrimmage, um, that may
Speaker 1: be best suited to help there. So those are the
Speaker 1: two that jump out to me the most. While you smiled,
Speaker 1: this is the Michael Parsons that linebacker argument. Again it
Speaker 1: sound good. No, it's not an arguments I'm arguing, okay,
Speaker 1: I mean honestly, it's it's based on the matchup everywhere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, and especially when you have a guy that
Speaker 1: you could do that with. I just you know, look
Speaker 1: talking about the tight ends, Hunter Henry has got Man.
Speaker 1: I loved him in Arkansas. I thought he was a
Speaker 1: stud there and that was just stud in and when
Speaker 1: he played for San Diego go Uh. It's not a mistake.
Speaker 1: But you're right. They they've always done a lot of
Speaker 1: a ton of great things with their tight ends and
Speaker 1: they've been the protection for the quarterbacks over the years.
Speaker 1: And just Hogg in the middle of the field is
Speaker 1: what they're what their tight ends do. Jeron Curse, I
Speaker 1: think this is he could take this. This is a
Speaker 1: matchup that he should feel comfortable with. Even Neil, I
Speaker 1: think getting nil into a D third or flat on
Speaker 1: the tight end, I don't think you could go wrong there.
Speaker 1: You know, it's just maybe some of the other challenges,
Speaker 1: maybe the jonal smith you know, a lot more athletic, uh.
Speaker 1: And so that's there's gotta be some got to pay
Speaker 1: some attention to guys like that. And we've seen in
Speaker 1: the past, and the reason why we've even talking about
Speaker 1: tight ends is because we've been plagued by them. So
Speaker 1: I think defensively, if we just stick to what we've
Speaker 1: been doing as far as applying pressure, jumping those routes,
Speaker 1: because you know that's where the Rookie's gonna go. He's
Speaker 1: his first read and he's not checked down Charlie, but
Speaker 1: he will definitely eyeball his sight ends because they again,
Speaker 1: they are his his safety blanket. It's very close to
Speaker 1: what Dak Prescott does with Dalton Schultz. That's not a checkdown.
Speaker 1: It's more of a safety blanket. It's more of an
Speaker 1: opportunity to get the ball to somebody and be confident
Speaker 1: in that fact. And now you not only have one
Speaker 1: of those guys, you've got two of them that can
Speaker 1: make some damage. Yeah, they're both threats. They're both threats.
Speaker 1: And I think Hooker and oh, we're gonna just blank
Speaker 1: out Casey, Yeah, Hooker, CAZy, all those guys are gonna
Speaker 1: have their hands full. These guys don't run normal tight
Speaker 1: end rountes. They're not running like the regular okay, check
Speaker 1: all right, now, I'm gonna get out to the flat,
Speaker 1: all right, quick out, all right, little option round. These
Speaker 1: guys are pushing it down the field. Yeah, and they're
Speaker 1: gonna stretch not only our safeties in our secondary, but
Speaker 1: they're also going to stretch our linebackers to get more depth.
Speaker 1: And what is what do we know that new England
Speaker 1: likes to do like they'd like to use their running
Speaker 1: backs as options as well. So if we have these
Speaker 1: two tight ends running down the middle of the field
Speaker 1: literally putting stress on our secondary and making our linebackers
Speaker 1: get more depth, it forces you to now have to
Speaker 1: pay attention to those guys underneath, because those running backs
Speaker 1: are going to creep out and get the easy little
Speaker 1: passes for mac Jones. So it's it's it's one of
Speaker 1: those things. Man. It's like, yeah, you might be able
Speaker 1: to shut down the tight ends, but what are you
Speaker 1: gonna give up in order to do that? And or
Speaker 1: if you try to just stay underneath, those guys get
Speaker 1: behind you and now you're asking your safeties to come
Speaker 1: up and make big hits on big guys. So, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's we have our hands for one. I'm looking forward
Speaker 1: to seeing this is the biggest challenge that we've had
Speaker 1: as a duel at tight end position. Obviously Week one
Speaker 1: is one of the best dudes ever do it. Um,
Speaker 1: But I mean these guys, these two guys work really
Speaker 1: well together. And then they have another guy and he's
Speaker 1: one of the guys that sitting there. He'll put hands
Speaker 1: on you. Yeah, So um, they have, they're gonna use three.
Speaker 1: Don't be surprised, um to see three tight end sets consistently,
Speaker 1: because again, they want to muscle you off the ball
Speaker 1: and then they want to utilize that to get behind
Speaker 1: you once they get you coming up. They haven't been
Speaker 1: running the ball that effectively, they really haven't. But but
Speaker 1: we know what they want to do. They want to
Speaker 1: get the ground game going. Um. And they're and they're
Speaker 1: very determined in that regard, almost to a fault, almost
Speaker 1: to a fault, very much so. UM. But if you
Speaker 1: allow them to get that going even a little bit,
Speaker 1: that's when those tight ends can really come back and
Speaker 1: bite you. But to borrow, sorry to borrow a phrase
Speaker 1: from Jason Garrett back in the day, they were they
Speaker 1: were persistent with the run last week. Like it wasn't great.
Speaker 1: It wasn't great. I mean it's like three seven yards
Speaker 1: of pop or whatever. But it allowed them to at
Speaker 1: least get the play action and they had Houston biting
Speaker 1: on that play action. That's what they you know, they
Speaker 1: were able to get a lot of things going across
Speaker 1: the middle of the field based based off the threat
Speaker 1: of the run. Yeah, and I anticipate Dan Quinn being
Speaker 1: in his bag in this game because he recognizes where
Speaker 1: the threats are and when you have I mean, Curse
Speaker 1: has emerged in this defense as a guy that you
Speaker 1: trust in those big nickel situations. But I think all
Speaker 1: in all, even with their offensive line, they played well
Speaker 1: together and they have great I mean, this is I'm
Speaker 1: not telling you something you don't know. They're well coached team.
Speaker 1: So the thing about them is they're going to play
Speaker 1: their assignments the best. But what we have is guys
Speaker 1: upfront that can get that pressure that can throw off
Speaker 1: those routes when they go play action like that. If
Speaker 1: Osa's in the face of Mac Jones, that completely disrupts
Speaker 1: everything that they want to do offensively. I'm not afraid
Speaker 1: of that. Hannah Henry and these guys that there's nothing
Speaker 1: about them as tight as that I feel is dynamic,
Speaker 1: and I feel like from our from our defensive standpoint,
Speaker 1: we just stay true to who we are. We've eliminated
Speaker 1: we stopped teams from trying to run the ball because
Speaker 1: we've consistently applied that pressure and they can't stick to
Speaker 1: their game plan. If we get out on them early,
Speaker 1: they have to change their spots because if they continue
Speaker 1: to try and be methodical in their offense, they're gonna
Speaker 1: find themselves down by multiple scores. Josh McDaniels actually spoke
Speaker 1: about that this last week or this week, that they
Speaker 1: haven't run as much too tight end as they want
Speaker 1: because they haven't been able. They've been behind on the scoreboard.
Speaker 1: So maybe the biggest the best defense is for Dak
Speaker 1: and score that, get three three touchdowns in the first
Speaker 1: half and make it hard for them, you know, make
Speaker 1: them spread things out. That sounds great to me. Let's
Speaker 1: just get it done. Let's touchdowns on the board. Let's
Speaker 1: just go ahead and get out there. And they're not
Speaker 1: knocked it down. They're not a team built for coming back. No,
Speaker 1: they're not built for that. But they if you allow
Speaker 1: a games stay close, they will wear you out. Because
Speaker 1: that's kind of what he was saying, that's the game plan. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean if they if you get away from that,
Speaker 1: they're in trouble. Yeah, I mean, that's that's one thing
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys should be looking at. I want
Speaker 1: to go off of something you said there. You talked
Speaker 1: about dan Quinn being in his bag last week or
Speaker 1: excuse me, two weeks ago, the battle that I was
Speaker 1: most excited about going into the Carolina game. Was Kyle
Speaker 1: or was Brady Joe Brady and then along with Kellen Moore,
Speaker 1: I mean the two offensive coordinators dueling back and forth,
Speaker 1: and ma'am, we had a lot of fun with that one.
Speaker 1: I'm more excited about the direct matchup between Dan quinn
Speaker 1: and Josh McDaniels this week. That is going to be
Speaker 1: fun because, I mean, two guys that are ascending. After
Speaker 1: having a head coaching stint that didn't necessarily go their way,
Speaker 1: they go to a place where they have some talent
Speaker 1: to work with and now they are on the rise
Speaker 1: again as coordinators. I think this is going to be
Speaker 1: as good of a battle as you'll see between these two.
Speaker 1: It's not a bad matchup, man. Those guys are both
Speaker 1: really well respected in terms of their intellect. I think
Speaker 1: dan Quinn obviously in terms of how he uses his
Speaker 1: personnel and how he'll approach every game differently. And you
Speaker 1: got Josh McDaniels, where nobody's ever doubted his ability to
Speaker 1: play call anybody, I've never heard it that dude is.
Speaker 1: He's very smart to do it as smart and he
Speaker 1: will put his guys in position to be successful. And
Speaker 1: if he can't put him in position to be successful,
Speaker 1: he'll create something, all right, time, he'll draw some mess
Speaker 1: up on the sideline on them dog on a little
Speaker 1: tablets and and they'll be all right, here we go
Speaker 1: in the dirt boom. You guys got it cool? All right,
Speaker 1: go out there and run out there. Yeah. So that's
Speaker 1: that's him. So, I mean to your point called, I
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a heck of a showdown.
Speaker 1: And also the fact that these guys, these two coordinators
Speaker 1: have history. Ye they've seen each other a few times,
Speaker 1: and you know, and I want to go back to
Speaker 1: that what you're saying about McDaniel and being how dynamic
Speaker 1: he is as a play caller. I think dan quinn
Speaker 1: coming into this week, I mean, well, I bet you
Speaker 1: that they are waiting for that bye week because they
Speaker 1: are having to prepare for everything. Yeah. Everything is not
Speaker 1: one of those teams where you go, oh this is
Speaker 1: you're in a whole bunch of twelve or they are
Speaker 1: running up, they run everything. Was McDaniels the OC in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl against them, I want to say he was,
Speaker 1: I think. So yeah, so there's history, there's there's a
Speaker 1: there's a few He is a Super Bowl history, but
Speaker 1: he's been back there for quite a few years. He
Speaker 1: wasn't there when they played Seattle in the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1: Was he? I don't think he was there. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: talking about I know you, I know what you're talking about,
Speaker 1: but I'm saying, was he there that far back when
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn was the coordinator in Seattle? He may have been,
Speaker 1: We don't know. I don't know why. I got to
Speaker 1: look at He's been in and out of the New England,
Speaker 1: so I'm not sure he has. He's been the OC
Speaker 1: since twenty twelve, so that would be a yes. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So they got two Super Bowls of going up, so
Speaker 1: this history, you know, basically twenty two. So it's gonna
Speaker 1: be interesting. And I think the more pressure that we
Speaker 1: apply to this team and not let up off of them,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to do this for four quarters, you know.
Speaker 1: And I love what Isaiah is saying about him. They're
Speaker 1: not that explosive of a team, but they want to
Speaker 1: get you out into some They want to muddy the water,
Speaker 1: you know. And if you can get dirty with them,
Speaker 1: and you getting dirty mean turn the ball over, have
Speaker 1: poor execution, then they got you it's gonna to me.
Speaker 1: It comes down, Yeah, to stop the run, don't give
Speaker 1: them any threat to be duel and balanced, and you know,
Speaker 1: get after him. I mean he has again. They talked
Speaker 1: about it quick release, and in that Tampa game they
Speaker 1: actually put side by side Dak and Mac Jones's mechanics
Speaker 1: with a click quick release, and it is it is impressive.
Speaker 1: He's been better against the blitz. But what was the
Speaker 1: staff think? You retweeted it too. Most rookie preussers in
Speaker 1: the NFL right now, Osa Digizua and Micah Parsons. And
Speaker 1: with Parsons, you know, it's not just amongst rookies, that's
Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah, it's crazy. And we don't know week
Speaker 1: to week where Mike is gonna be. He's probably gonna
Speaker 1: do a little bit of everything. So just get after
Speaker 1: the rookie man. The best part about that stat is
Speaker 1: it's been a consistent stat throughout the year. I mean
Speaker 1: it hasn't been like, oh, week two they were like
Speaker 1: fifteenth and sixteen. That No, they've been like up toward
Speaker 1: the top of that list, if not the top of
Speaker 1: the list for the entirety of the year so far.
Speaker 1: All Right, when we come back here on Talking Cowboys.

Speaker 1: on Dallas Cowboys dot com, continuing our preview of the
Speaker 1: Patriots offense and the Cowboys defense now Cowboys defense. Of course,
Speaker 1: we mentioned this yesterday with so many guys gonna come
Speaker 1: back for Menjurie pretty much in waves after the bye week.
Speaker 1: I mean it's gonna be one week after the other
Speaker 1: after the other. I mean, you're gonna have an influx
Speaker 1: of starters, fresh legs coming in and being a part
Speaker 1: of the defense. So I ask you the question yesterday.
Speaker 1: It was about people might be losing their jobs. Who
Speaker 1: is saving their jobs with the play that they've had
Speaker 1: so far? HECMA on defense. On defense, I'm gonna say,
Speaker 1: Jeron Curse is a guy that you, Yeah, you gonna
Speaker 1: have a hard time replacing the value that he's shown you.
Speaker 1: And Jeron Curse is a guy they're probably going into
Speaker 1: two of days. You probably didn't even think he was
Speaker 1: gonna make the team because he was looked at as
Speaker 1: a special team's ace, and here he is just showing
Speaker 1: up and showing out and making the most of his opportunities.
Speaker 1: I think, outside of Terrence Steele, and maybe right there
Speaker 1: with Terrence Steele, I think Curse is my most pleasant
Speaker 1: surprise throughout the year. Yeah, like those two guys on
Speaker 1: both sides of the football, this team would not be
Speaker 1: nearly as confident in what they're doing without those two
Speaker 1: guys doing what they're doing. He's basically a starter with
Speaker 1: the snaps he's playing, and he was a special teams
Speaker 1: guy basically mostly throughout his career. Yeah, so the Cowboys
Speaker 1: saw something fit wise that maybe other teams didn't come
Speaker 1: off the field the last game did not, did not.
Speaker 1: That's huge. And Donald will be back, you know, at
Speaker 1: some point. But I mean he just he helps you
Speaker 1: in so many different ways. You can play him in
Speaker 1: different spots, you know, So it's not just one role
Speaker 1: that he fills. I got a controversial one. But I
Speaker 1: want to hear you guys. Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead,
Speaker 1: Now come on, tell me who who's your guy that's
Speaker 1: that's playing into his role or role is safe? However
Speaker 1: it was pose This is kind of a reach. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that that you took my one? A didn't I
Speaker 1: want to? Yeah? Absolutely, I think that might have been
Speaker 1: everybody everybody's um hm, So this is my reach. My
Speaker 1: reach is Jordan Lewis. I'm not Jordan Lewis, but um
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, That's where I was going to. Let's go one. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So Anthony Brown, I mean I think he was He's
Speaker 1: obviously your starter just because of his experience and because
Speaker 1: of what his salary says. He gets. Um. But I
Speaker 1: think that the plays that he's making and as as
Speaker 1: week especially, I think that he's securing his spot as
Speaker 1: that that may have been challenged by the rookie Joseph
Speaker 1: when he was coming back. So I think Joseph still
Speaker 1: would have to prove that he deserves that spot. But
Speaker 1: I think that they were they were going to be
Speaker 1: kind of listening and they say, okay, let's let's see
Speaker 1: young fellow. And if he would show up some spurts,
Speaker 1: I think they would have just said, here you go.
Speaker 1: But now a Browns like nah, player like you stay,
Speaker 1: you come help us. But this is what I do.
Speaker 1: This is my spot. That's a good one. I like that.
Speaker 1: I didn't even think about the aspect of throwing the
Speaker 1: rookie in there. But you're right, I mean, Calvia, Joseph
Speaker 1: looked like he was on a fast track to that spot,
Speaker 1: and that's not necessarily happening. Yet you gotta wipe Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay from your memory. I mean, as good as that
Speaker 1: receiving corps is, I mean, look, man, it'd be a
Speaker 1: problem for anybody. Unfair. He's got the picks. And I
Speaker 1: think you also have to keep in mind, as good
Speaker 1: as this cowboy's offense is, the corners are getting tested
Speaker 1: more than any corners in the NFL. Digs and Anthony
Speaker 1: Brown's it's a lot to handle because of the fact
Speaker 1: that you know that they're upp lot. You know, that's
Speaker 1: challenging for the other for this this cornerback group, that's
Speaker 1: a good point. Targeted pretty much targeted more than any
Speaker 1: cornerback group in the NFL. I would because of the score. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would imagine they're right up there. That makes sense.
Speaker 1: I would love to go look at that Sunless. So,
Speaker 1: who's your guy, Rob, You're not gonna get out of this, no,
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown. Anthony Brown's your guy. Yeah, shake it before
Speaker 1: you bake it, all right, I want to hear yours. Well,
Speaker 1: here's here may be my reach and it's Osa Diggy
Speaker 1: Zoul because of Galimore coming back from elbow Andrew and look,
Speaker 1: before the season started, you were looking at Osa as
Speaker 1: a rotational guy, uh, for Galimore. I think now Galimore
Speaker 1: is in a situation where he's the rotational guy for OSAM.
Speaker 1: So when Galimore and Hill come back, they're gonna be
Speaker 1: watching and coming in to spell OLSA be interesting. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think you're sitting him down. I agree with
Speaker 1: you there. I mean I actually I think I'm gonna
Speaker 1: stand with you on this one. I think Osa is
Speaker 1: the starter when Gallimore comes back, I'm right there. I'm
Speaker 1: along beside you because and I'm one who I loved
Speaker 1: Nevill Gallimore coming out of the draft. I was really
Speaker 1: high on him. I had a second round grade on him.
Speaker 1: I thought getting him in the third was a steel
Speaker 1: And I don't think he's a bad player by any means,
Speaker 1: but for what we've seen early in Osa's career and
Speaker 1: his get off and his strength and his ability to
Speaker 1: just disrupt things in the middle of that line. Never
Speaker 1: never really did that as a rookie and just tot
Speaker 1: but it's a big Basically, heals more like Osa than
Speaker 1: Gallimore is more like us, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like Gallimore's talking about the energy. Yeah, okay, that's the
Speaker 1: only comparison, Like I would I want to see him
Speaker 1: both next to each other. That would that means you
Speaker 1: have to take Brent urbanof that. That's That's where I
Speaker 1: was going though, too, because it's like they're all gonna
Speaker 1: play like Qu's he wants like a If he could
Speaker 1: have a twenty man D line rotation, he would have it.
Speaker 1: So they're all gonna play. But like does Brent Urban
Speaker 1: snaps stay the same when Gallimore comes back. Maybe Osa's do,
Speaker 1: but not Urban, who's been playing more just and adding
Speaker 1: more context of what you're talking about about Ole DIGGI
Speaker 1: zoo in his start. Think about this Gallimore when he
Speaker 1: really didn't even come into his own to like week
Speaker 1: nine or ten, it was it was a layers game.
Speaker 1: Was really the first one where he really hit the table.
Speaker 1: Right now, Olsa is hitting the ground and running and
Speaker 1: like I said, it's gonna be hard. I believe to
Speaker 1: replace that or take him out or not have him
Speaker 1: on the field. Like, okay, sixty eight snaps in the
Speaker 1: game last week, Osa had forty one, Watkins had Carlos
Speaker 1: Watkins had thirty five. Like there's enough Root, there's there's
Speaker 1: an Urban had thirty. Yeah, there's room for everybody to
Speaker 1: get in there and play. Bohannah was sixteen in there
Speaker 1: as well. Bohana is going to be a interesting conversation.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's played poorly, but he's just not
Speaker 1: doing the same things as some of the other guys
Speaker 1: are at the moment. It's a great, good problem to have.
Speaker 1: It is. It's great. It's a fantastic problem to have.
Speaker 1: You've got a second rounder and a third rounder sitting
Speaker 1: in the wings ready to come back and make an impact,
Speaker 1: and one of those probably should have been a second
Speaker 1: under as well. But it's gonna be a lot and man,
Speaker 1: the challenges and tomorrow we're gonna obviously talk about the
Speaker 1: offense and more. That's gonna be so exciting because of
Speaker 1: that deep pass defense is it's I don't know, one
Speaker 1: jump ahead, but I'm just telling these guys are for real.
Speaker 1: But the matchup and what we're gonna do once Gallup
Speaker 1: comes back. We talk about the defense. What are we
Speaker 1: gonna do on offense once we get some of these
Speaker 1: guys back healthy. Yeah, that's a topic of conversation really
Speaker 1: quickly before we do wrap things up, I want to
Speaker 1: get your ranking. Where does this Patriots offense rank against
Speaker 1: the teams you've seen so far? Is it third? Fourth, fifth, sixth?
Speaker 1: I mean that's just then a third. I guess I
Speaker 1: wouldn't rank them up there too high as far as
Speaker 1: I was. Actually that was higher than I thought it
Speaker 1: would be. Honestly, Well, you got Tampa and Chargers and
Speaker 1: they're one two, one two, and then I think better
Speaker 1: than the Eagles. Do you think so different? Different times?
Speaker 1: I mean, there's more speed on the Eagles, but they're
Speaker 1: they're more efficient than Philly was, at least in the game. Name.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm talking about them. Yeah, m hmm, that's
Speaker 1: a good one. I would compare it right at it
Speaker 1: though I was thinking the same thing earlier. The only
Speaker 1: thing with the Eagles is, like Rob just said, different styles.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Eagles have the outside weapons with Raygor
Speaker 1: and Watkins and things like that, whereas it's all inside
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. Better than Carolina's no offense, No, put
Speaker 1: him at five out of the six that we've four
Speaker 1: we played five people, right, Yeah, and put them out
Speaker 1: you would put you would put Carolina's offense, this would
Speaker 1: be six though, yes, this would be the sixth sude. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I'll put them at um. I put them at five.
Speaker 1: Who are they above? They are above um, Philly, Philly? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Will they be the last? Yeah? Yeah, so Philly, New England,
Speaker 1: Carolina then we go up from there. I would put
Speaker 1: them dead last, and I'm not afraid of saying that.
Speaker 1: I think Philly's got more weapons outside. It's a different,
Speaker 1: different style, But I think I would I would rank
Speaker 1: them bottom bottom of the barrel, at least, not so
Speaker 1: much on the defensive side. I think this New England's
Speaker 1: defense is oh man, they're they're big, that's they're physical,
Speaker 1: and they were quick too on the back end, more
Speaker 1: so than the coordinators we just talked about today. That's
Speaker 1: that's the chess match that we're gonna get into tomorrow.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be fun. Yeah, you can fast forward, let's
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah. Can we just give Chris we got
Speaker 1: an extra forty five minutes? Can we just cut free
Speaker 1: and just talk about it now, because we're that excited
Speaker 1: about it. Nope, good trying. All right, that's it for us.
Speaker 1: You're on Talking Cowboys for Chris Beam in the back,
Speaker 1: for heck My Harrison, Isaiah stand Back, Rob Phillips and
Speaker 1: Kyle Yeoman's we'll see you tomorrow. Thanks for joining us.
