Speaker 1: screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. Elliott following to the scot and now
Speaker 1: your hosts Isaiah stand Back, Patrick Walker, and Kyle Yeomans.
Speaker 1: It is a terrific Thursday morning here from Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company at the Star in
Speaker 1: Frisco and the SWBC Studios. We've got Isaiah stand Back,
Speaker 1: We've got Patrick Nose Walker, I'm Kyle Yeoman's with Chris
Speaker 1: Pam in the back running everything. As we've continued to
Speaker 1: preview the divisional round man Chuck between the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: and the San Francisco forty nine ers. Today we're gonna
Speaker 1: preview the San Francisco defense. Lots of dudes on that
Speaker 1: side of the ball too, Oh, there's a few. And
Speaker 1: then you've got that Cowboys offense that's been firing on
Speaker 1: all cylinders. Gentlemen, how are we doing fantastic? Can't wait?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, bars, cut boys, we're getting already into that.
Speaker 1: That's right. You know why these guys that are gonna
Speaker 1: be Victor Moons on the side of the ball, Kyle,
Speaker 1: let's talk about it. Oh okay, so did you get
Speaker 1: you three hours of film? I did? Okay. I saw
Speaker 1: Patrick was diving into the film yesterday too. Runch yesterday.
Speaker 1: Science Lab Ladies and Gentlemen's Shameless blog will be up
Speaker 1: on the dot com within the next hour or so,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of science you know what. I
Speaker 1: was sitting there having breakfast this morning. Yeah, they're just chilling,
Speaker 1: and you know the specialist roll over there, you know
Speaker 1: Money Marth and the new guy you know in the
Speaker 1: long Snapper NBA, Travis Viscayano, this guy Bran. So I'm
Speaker 1: over there. I'm sitting there and watching my film and
Speaker 1: eating my breakfast and uh some of Isaiah. Yeah, turn around,
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's up? And Brian Ainger we were teammates, right,
Speaker 1: I was. I was his personal protector in Jacksonville. So
Speaker 1: he's like, and they're all looking at me. He says,
Speaker 1: why do you watch so much film? I said, I
Speaker 1: gotta know what I'm talking about. Man, He's like, you
Speaker 1: watch you watch like way more film than than anybody else,
Speaker 1: Like you ever imagine. I'm like, yeah, just what I
Speaker 1: do He's I guess it's easy for you. It kind
Speaker 1: of scares me. I'm not gonna lie. Well, I mean
Speaker 1: from a I mean from a punter standpoint, how much
Speaker 1: film fair the specialist saying that it doesn't bother me
Speaker 1: as much as anybody if like Cooper Rush was over
Speaker 1: there and that would be completely different. No, but but
Speaker 1: it was funny. Yeah, it was just one of those
Speaker 1: funny moments. I was just like, yeah, because you because
Speaker 1: you watch the film. I want to know what I'm
Speaker 1: talking hot football, Like here, I try my best to
Speaker 1: take to do pretty I take a motion out of it.
Speaker 1: I really take a much. What's that science? Oh wow,
Speaker 1: you know what Nate calls it? What logic? Yeah? It does.
Speaker 1: It works, It's not I'm not I'm too mad that
Speaker 1: that the punters watch the film. I mean I'm not
Speaker 1: mad about it. How much filmed with with the punter
Speaker 1: watch I mean, he'd watch a little bit of the
Speaker 1: returner of the same game, but that doesn't care. I
Speaker 1: was just more I'm saying yeah, because because you know,
Speaker 1: there are some people are going to hear this and
Speaker 1: they're gonna say, oh, well, the Cowboys don't. It's the punter, right,
Speaker 1: regardless of what the return who the returner is coming
Speaker 1: up in the next game, Brian Anger is still going
Speaker 1: to try to make the same punch in the same fashion.
Speaker 1: He's going to try to cough and corner you every time. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I think he was asking in the light of like, dude,
Speaker 1: you're not playing anymore, Like what are you doing? You know?
Speaker 1: I think that that was probably translation like how many
Speaker 1: fans going from Brian leave Brian out of this? You're
Speaker 1: gonna say, I've seen a couple of your punch Leave
Speaker 1: Brian a figure out how to catch the snap? How
Speaker 1: about that? Uh, there's a guy over there needs to much. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that one. I'm sure. Now, how many
Speaker 1: hours of film do you watch per week? What do
Speaker 1: you think on average? On the average, I mean, it
Speaker 1: really depends on an opponent. On this week, I put
Speaker 1: it probably put in about ten hours. Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: it should be. I think I watched three hours yesterday.
Speaker 1: So I went back and watched our game, went through that,
Speaker 1: and then I went through Seat or A San Francisco's game.
Speaker 1: So I'll probably I'll probably do two more hours by
Speaker 1: the end of the week, and some of that is
Speaker 1: on draft stuff later, like once it gets the draft time.
Speaker 1: I'm right around ten hours a week and trying to
Speaker 1: get that on the opponent, right, So, like I'm not
Speaker 1: going back and watching a thousand games. I'll go back
Speaker 1: and look at teams that have similar schemes or I
Speaker 1: feel I have similar personnel matchups, and I'll go back
Speaker 1: and I will do like deep dives until I watched
Speaker 1: one game like over three or four times. Well, it
Speaker 1: depends to go back some information and you know, look
Speaker 1: for little things here and there. For me, it depends
Speaker 1: on a couple of things. But one of the opponent.
Speaker 1: Is it an uncommon opponent versus a common opponent. I
Speaker 1: watched way more film on, say the Jacksonville jaguarries than
Speaker 1: I did the Giants or the Eagles, because familiar opponent
Speaker 1: versus non familiar opponent, magnitude of the game. Obviously, I
Speaker 1: would we would watch film on the forty nine ers
Speaker 1: if it was a regular season game. But given it's
Speaker 1: an NFC divisional round, you're gonna dig that much deeper
Speaker 1: into it to see if there are any tales that
Speaker 1: you can kind of you know, put out there for
Speaker 1: the fans to know about so forth and so on.
Speaker 1: So I mean, I don't have as much time nowadays
Speaker 1: to watch as much film as I used to, But
Speaker 1: I mean this game, I went back and rewatched the
Speaker 1: hour game, the Cowboys game, and then I dove right
Speaker 1: back into the forty nine Ers game against the Seahawks,
Speaker 1: and then I went back against forty nine Ers game
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs, forty nine Ers games against the Raiders.
Speaker 1: I was basically looking at games that they struggled against,
Speaker 1: struggled in to try to figure out what those opposing
Speaker 1: teams did well. So I probably got seven seven and
Speaker 1: a half hours of film between rewatched with the Cowboys
Speaker 1: and then looking at those several games for the forty
Speaker 1: nine Ers, And then you use the film and then
Speaker 1: you start digging into the stats and you put it
Speaker 1: all together in for context. And I found some things.
Speaker 1: You found some things, some unpleasant things and some pleasant things. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: those this defense we're about to talk about, those are
Speaker 1: some horses. But they got some weaknesses. They found him,
Speaker 1: I see, and we're gonna talk about it in the
Speaker 1: second segment. Let's get to news and notes. Cowboys injury
Speaker 1: report as They were back into a walkthrough yesterday pretty light,
Speaker 1: which is good, but there were a couple names on there.
Speaker 1: There were nothing, you know, that should concern anyone outside
Speaker 1: of what we've already discussed. Jason Peters did not participate
Speaker 1: as expected with that hip injury suffered in the victory
Speaker 1: over the Buccaneers. Short week, you know, and let's just
Speaker 1: be honest. It's a forty year old on a short
Speaker 1: week with a hip injury. I don't believe that he'll
Speaker 1: be available, but the Cowboys have not ruled him out.
Speaker 1: They are just using precaution to see how he goes
Speaker 1: over the course of this week. Jay Ron Curse good news.
Speaker 1: Everything's going as expected there. Jron Curse said yesterday that
Speaker 1: he is one hundred percent sure he will be on
Speaker 1: the against the forty nine ers. He was limited in
Speaker 1: the walkthrough. That makes sense. Short week, Protect that guy.
Speaker 1: You need him at all costs. DeMarcus Lawrence limited as
Speaker 1: has been the case for several weeks, now listed as foot,
Speaker 1: but he's dealing with several things. Continues to play at
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl level. Israel Mukuamu had a hamstring injury.
Speaker 1: Tweaked it just a little bit. Nothing major though, because
Speaker 1: he was a full participant one in practice on yesterday,
Speaker 1: so he's a full goal tyrant Smith. He was a
Speaker 1: full participant, although listed on the injury report in the
Speaker 1: worries there, and Trayvon Mullin cornerback who was inactive with
Speaker 1: the illness that popped up last week late last week,
Speaker 1: was a full participant as well. And as far as
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers are concerned, there's really nothing of
Speaker 1: note there. The only thing is Trent Williams didn't practice,
Speaker 1: but he was Rusting. It's literally listed as Rusting. Biggest
Speaker 1: news and note if you want to take it as
Speaker 1: that guy I RS kind of mentioned it. Cowboys signed
Speaker 1: a kicker to the practice squad. Kicker by the name
Speaker 1: of this guyant Am I pronouncing that right guy. This
Speaker 1: guy an this guy you know signed him to the
Speaker 1: practice squad on yesterday. Cowboys prior to signing him have
Speaker 1: continued to double and triple down on their confidence in
Speaker 1: Brett Maher. We had that discussion here yesterday. I'm not
Speaker 1: moving off of Brett Maher. Everybody has a bad day
Speaker 1: the office. Dak had one on in Week eighteen. Bounce
Speaker 1: back at the best game of his year, of his season.
Speaker 1: Brett Maher has saved this team on several occasions during
Speaker 1: the season. Not willing to move on from this guy
Speaker 1: with that body of work. But the Cowboys are bringing
Speaker 1: in this guy ain't no yep as insurance against the
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, and this guy Ano has some experience
Speaker 1: kicking in Levi's stadium from his short stint with the
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, So a little bit of an insurance there.
Speaker 1: But Mahur is still expected to be the starting kicker.
Speaker 1: He's expected to be the kicker on the field when
Speaker 1: the Cowboys visit San Francisco. But it's it's notable that
Speaker 1: they brought in some insurance there. Now sidebar, this is
Speaker 1: a subjective tax bar. I wonder if that's just more
Speaker 1: so um just to create a sense of competition with
Speaker 1: Brett Maher, just to mentally get him sharpened up a
Speaker 1: little bit, which is likely the case, because you know,
Speaker 1: Tristan isn't exactly lights out if you look at his
Speaker 1: numbers seventy five percent on extra points fifteen of twenty,
Speaker 1: you know, so it's not like he's coming in here
Speaker 1: to completely snatched Brett Mohr's job. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: more so just hey, Brett, it's it's just in case. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we believe in you. But if you go out there
Speaker 1: and miss two pats, are they even going to elevate him?
Speaker 1: Because I doubt think that's That's what I'm saying. I
Speaker 1: think he's a practice guys, just a practice squad guy,
Speaker 1: just kind of some mind games by owner and general
Speaker 1: manager Jerry Jones, which I'm not entirely mad at. I mean,
Speaker 1: I get where you're going with that, but I also
Speaker 1: want to show confidence in the kicker because if he
Speaker 1: has another game like that, where he was already in
Speaker 1: his head for one game, you can't allow him to
Speaker 1: have another game like that. Two. You got to you
Speaker 1: got the offense and the Whippons to do it. Just
Speaker 1: starting just start to love you, Tristan, but not don't
Speaker 1: necessarily need you look start going for two. Did you
Speaker 1: guys see the sounds of the sideline? She sees what
Speaker 1: that was? It was phenomenal Alex Alex Lily put that
Speaker 1: together and he did it so fast and it's out there.
Speaker 1: It's phenomenal content. There was a part of it where
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb was sitting on the bench and Brett Mohurt
Speaker 1: comes over and Maher visibly frustrated after another miss. Pat
Speaker 1: and Cede looked at him. He said, hey, don't worry
Speaker 1: about it, said it in a different way, wasn't necessarily clean,
Speaker 1: said don't worry about it. You've bawled out for us
Speaker 1: plenty of times. You've had our back plenty of times.
Speaker 1: It's our turn to have your back. So that response,
Speaker 1: to me is what it should be from a locker room.
Speaker 1: That's what it should be from a team, when somebody struggles,
Speaker 1: your teammates rally around you and you pick you right
Speaker 1: back up right. That's what it felt like, Isaiah. Back
Speaker 1: when you were in various locker rooms, you always had
Speaker 1: great culture. Yeah. Is that a good sign from from
Speaker 1: what CD was able to do and we hadn't even
Speaker 1: talked about in the offseason. Was CD ready to take
Speaker 1: on a leadership role? That was a plain and simple
Speaker 1: way of seeing, Okay, there's there's a role being had here.
Speaker 1: I'm just glad everybody gets to see that. So shout
Speaker 1: out to Alex on that for being able to show
Speaker 1: that footage list than forty eight hours. He's after a
Speaker 1: Monday night, very might see him. He's sitting, so shout
Speaker 1: out to him. A lot of people don't get credit
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, but he gives you that access. But
Speaker 1: it's very telling and it's great to see the brotherhood
Speaker 1: that that has formed now with his Dallas Cowboys team.
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people kind of disregard kickers, punters,
Speaker 1: long snappers as Okay, the specialists they're their own unit
Speaker 1: and very much so. They really are right. They're like
Speaker 1: the little wolf pack that kind of travels around doing
Speaker 1: their own thing. Because they're not they don't have to
Speaker 1: be in meetings like everybody else does. And the special
Speaker 1: teams meetings is a very short period of time in
Speaker 1: comparison to offensive defensive. Okay, a lot of film, not
Speaker 1: a lot of me. It's got a ton of film
Speaker 1: to watch. Um, they're scheming up stuff there that the
Speaker 1: sports teams coordinators bones is right, But in terms of
Speaker 1: the operation, your operation is pretty much the same. Um.
Speaker 1: But for people to see how much players on the
Speaker 1: team and high caliber players you know, you know highly
Speaker 1: um uh criticized players in terms of like guys like CD,
Speaker 1: how much they care about that guy. He's that important
Speaker 1: to you to where you it's not like you're walking
Speaker 1: by him and disregarding him, me mugging him, you know,
Speaker 1: just just not even acknowledging him. He is your brother, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: regardless of what he's required to do during the week,
Speaker 1: he's your brother. He's a part of your team. And
Speaker 1: so many people try to just put the specialists like
Speaker 1: they just not a part of the team and they're
Speaker 1: just therese a little isolated guys that are just super replaceable.
Speaker 1: They're not right, they're not and you and you love
Speaker 1: it even more so from the aspect of if you
Speaker 1: look at what CD said, he said, you've saved us before. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know, we got your back, bro, we got
Speaker 1: your back. And coming from someone like like Ceedee Lamb,
Speaker 1: who's had to demonstrate aliency himself this season, be it on.
Speaker 1: We're talking about an interception earlier in the season where
Speaker 1: he didn't come across the safety's face and that you know,
Speaker 1: tallied on an interception against Dak Prescott, so forth and
Speaker 1: so on. They had to kind of get on the
Speaker 1: same page. And then hey, even against the Buccaneers, he
Speaker 1: had two drops in the first three plays because t
Speaker 1: Y Hulton had the third drop on that first series
Speaker 1: that ended in a punt. So then for Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 1: to come back and continuously fight through. He knows what
Speaker 1: it feels like to have a bad play, to have
Speaker 1: a bad day at the office, to field the criticism
Speaker 1: from outside the building, outside the locker room, and how
Speaker 1: important it is for your brothers to look you in
Speaker 1: the eye and say, you know what, man, shake that off.
Speaker 1: That didn't even happen. It's all about the next play
Speaker 1: we got. You don't worry about it. That means a lot,
Speaker 1: and it carries, it carries week to week. And that's
Speaker 1: why this locker room. One reason why this locker room
Speaker 1: is just so close knit, so tight knit, and that's
Speaker 1: why they've been able to continuously bounce back from bad
Speaker 1: days at the office and be it as a team
Speaker 1: or as individuals. And you just you love to see it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you absolutely do. And it's something that I know fans
Speaker 1: will keep an eye on going into the divisional round,
Speaker 1: because fans are gonna keep an eye on Brett Maher.
Speaker 1: Whether or not he makes his pats is going to
Speaker 1: be a massive talking point. If he makes them all great,
Speaker 1: I think we're back to normal. If he misses one,
Speaker 1: the topic of conversation is back. But you also want
Speaker 1: to see the way that your teammates react, and there
Speaker 1: was a positive reaction there from Ceedee Lamb. You could
Speaker 1: say a negative reaction from Dak Prescott, but even then
Speaker 1: that's just frustration. Dak's in the heat of the competitor,
Speaker 1: heat of the most straight up competing. That's all that
Speaker 1: was bad. Of course, he wants to go for two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's fair, he wants he wants to take his nap.
Speaker 1: Plus Dak Prescott was was hot enough in that game
Speaker 1: to where he could say something like that. But I
Speaker 1: do love it from Ceedee Lamb, somebody that we've had
Speaker 1: those question marks around that we wanted to see step
Speaker 1: up as a leader. The Cowboys signing Tristan Viscayano to
Speaker 1: the practice squad, however, I think it's Brett Maher moving forward.
Speaker 1: I agreefully. All right, let's take our first. When we
Speaker 1: come back, it's time to preview the San Francisco defense
Speaker 1: and what they bring to the table. They've got a
Speaker 1: couple all pros on that side of the ball, and
Speaker 1: can the Cowboys offense with Dak Prescott have a repeat
Speaker 1: game like they did against Tampa Bay when we come back, Right,
Speaker 1: after this. When you build, you start with the foundation,
Speaker 1: and homeownership is a foundation of a stable future. The

Speaker 1: I bet you've probably done something. You investionistic in an
Speaker 1: NFT and I don't even know what that is. It's

Speaker 1: vote for James. Good dude. By the way, we were
Speaker 1: talking a lot and we were referencing the Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 1: moment in Sounds of the Sideline. I just retweeted just
Speaker 1: now the Sounds of the Sideline video on Twitter. It's
Speaker 1: at at Kyle Underscore Yeomans, but you could also find it.
Speaker 1: It's the pin tweet on the Dallas Cowboys Twitter as
Speaker 1: well if you want to check it out. Really cool
Speaker 1: piece of content. Again, shout out to Alex Lily for
Speaker 1: putting that together. He does a great job with that
Speaker 1: every single week. All right, let's talk about this forty
Speaker 1: nine ers defense, gentlemen, linebackers check. Fred Warner and company
Speaker 1: are just flying around. They fly to the football. How
Speaker 1: about that edge rusher? Got a guy by the name
Speaker 1: of Nick Bosa, former second overall pick back in twenty nineteen. Oh,
Speaker 1: just one of the best hedge rushers to play. Javon
Speaker 1: Kin Law on the middle. You've got Armstead, he's a problem.
Speaker 1: You've got green Law. You've got Ward on the outside,
Speaker 1: who's been locking up number one receivers across the league.
Speaker 1: What you don't like that? You don't agree with that one?
Speaker 1: Why is that he's getting toastito? You're talking about Ward?
Speaker 1: Are you talking about Lenora? Lenora's getting toastito? What do
Speaker 1: you see, Google, No, that's what I want to talk about.
Speaker 1: I talked about the front seven. Front Seven's coming after it.
Speaker 1: But where are they susceptible? Put it out there? It's
Speaker 1: in that secondary. It's in a secondary. Oh yes, it yeah,
Speaker 1: it's out there in the edges. And you talk about
Speaker 1: Ward and Ward has done and whatever whatever Ward got
Speaker 1: exposed last well, DK Makeoff said, I don't give a
Speaker 1: dog on what your name is. I'm gonna disrespect you.
Speaker 1: I'm bigger than you, I'm fastening you, I'm stronger than you,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna run right by you every single time.
Speaker 1: If the dog on forty nine ers want to go
Speaker 1: single high coverage and they want to come out of
Speaker 1: that two two shell and roll down to that single
Speaker 1: high whether it's cover three or cover one. Ward likes
Speaker 1: to sit on his heels. You sit on his hills.
Speaker 1: You can run right by us. But throw the ball
Speaker 1: up there. You can look at it and say it's
Speaker 1: not a high percent of his pass. But you have
Speaker 1: things working in your favor. You have receivers that can
Speaker 1: go get the ball. You have Ceedee Lamb, you have
Speaker 1: t Y Hill, and you have Michael Gallop. All these
Speaker 1: guys can stretch the field. All these guys can get
Speaker 1: on his toes, all these guys can get to his backside.
Speaker 1: And you throw the ball up, you're either gonna get
Speaker 1: a heck of a play, a heck of a catch right,
Speaker 1: You're gonna get an open catcher, You're gonna right by him,
Speaker 1: or you have a high probability of getting a pass
Speaker 1: interference call. Test these guys on the outside. But in
Speaker 1: order to do that, you have to block Bosa and
Speaker 1: the boys up front ensure that they're good. So I
Speaker 1: think that you could to see all these guys on
Speaker 1: the outside all day long. Get them out of this
Speaker 1: one high. You have to get him out of the
Speaker 1: one high. As soon as you get him out of that,
Speaker 1: then you can start attacking them on the ground. Game.
Speaker 1: And instead of letting Bolsa chase you down, how about
Speaker 1: you chase him down. Instead of letting Warner come downhill,
Speaker 1: how about you go to the uphill and you want
Speaker 1: to run through these guy his face, that's my mackage.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm looking at, and that's what I think
Speaker 1: we can do. It exposes So his numbers against Seattle,
Speaker 1: he was targeted or his receiver was targeted eight times,
Speaker 1: gave up six receptions for ninety eight yards in a touchdown.
Speaker 1: So Toastito, no doubt about it. He's a good corner though,
Speaker 1: because you look at the rest of his stats, there's
Speaker 1: only three games all year he's given up more than
Speaker 1: fifty yards in a single game Seattle, Seattle in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and then Kansas City Kansas City. Oh, it's because of
Speaker 1: DK Matcalf. It's because you've got a physical receiver on
Speaker 1: the outside. Dallas doesn't have the physicality though they got
Speaker 1: the speed, do they from CD? Sure t y T?
Speaker 1: Why he can burn it slowest of the three, thinks
Speaker 1: wheels of those three receiver CITs is slowest gallop gallops faster,
Speaker 1: gallops fast. He can't cut the same way though. We
Speaker 1: aren't talking about cutting a straight straight line. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen it since the injury. But all he does is
Speaker 1: make a big catches, regardless of he's running for two yards.
Speaker 1: That's all they tried to do. I'm saying, this is
Speaker 1: the game that you have to stretch the field. I
Speaker 1: thought I hope wasn't a strategy though, No, no no, no, no no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, there's no hope. When you throw the
Speaker 1: ball at the Michael Gallop, he usually comes down with it.
Speaker 1: Now they just harm they haven't pushed it down the
Speaker 1: field to take advantage of what he used to do,
Speaker 1: because he's not what he used to be yet, right,
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean that this is an opportunity for
Speaker 1: you to push the thing down the field. Test these
Speaker 1: guys out. They just showed you on film that they're
Speaker 1: susceptible on the outside. That's their weakness. Their linebacker corps
Speaker 1: is pretty dog on solid. Okay, they're not better than
Speaker 1: the guys we faced last week in this totality, but
Speaker 1: Warner is one of the top five linebackers in the
Speaker 1: league hands down, right, So he's gonna give you some problems.
Speaker 1: He's gonna come downhill. He doesn't care if you're a
Speaker 1: running back and fullback. He doesn't care if you're a
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty pound lineman. He's gonna hit you
Speaker 1: underneath the chin and test you out. Okay, so you
Speaker 1: better bring you bring your your hacky sack with him
Speaker 1: when you come at him. Okay, so that's gonna be
Speaker 1: a problem. Bosa, go at him. Go at Bosa right,
Speaker 1: get him on his heels, put him on skates, kind
Speaker 1: of like teams are doing the Michael Parsons. Absolutely, absolutely,
Speaker 1: absolutely get right at him, Take a couple of guys
Speaker 1: at him, and go his deplete his energy storages. He's
Speaker 1: gonna be juiced up, geeked up. The whole Bay Area
Speaker 1: is gonna be going ham. They're gonna be listening to
Speaker 1: E forty in the stadium, it's gonna be hype. Then
Speaker 1: coming down the tunnel with the boombox, these boys think
Speaker 1: that we're gonna drop back and try to throw the
Speaker 1: ball all day long, and they're gonna be geeked up
Speaker 1: and on their tolls ready to come downhill and get
Speaker 1: around the edge. On freaking Tyrant Smith or on Tyler
Speaker 1: Smith one or two. All either way, they're gonna be
Speaker 1: trying to come around the edge. Go at these guys. Tyrn,
Speaker 1: you have the size advantage. Tyler, you got the tenacity.
Speaker 1: Go at these guys and run them downhill. And then
Speaker 1: when they start trying to roll those guys back down
Speaker 1: into the box with that single high, Hey, we got
Speaker 1: some guys that can go downhill. Go go out and
Speaker 1: beat your guys in the secondary. Make somebody other than
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa beat you, please, period. I like that show. Show.
Speaker 1: Look at those other guys across that defensive front and say,
Speaker 1: one of you guys are gonna have to prove that
Speaker 1: you can wreck this game because we're doing everything. We're
Speaker 1: selling out to delete this guy. And that means be it.
Speaker 1: You know, Chips sending extra help over there. And in
Speaker 1: addition to how you scheme to play call is burning
Speaker 1: the edge of whatever everything you need to do to
Speaker 1: tire him out, neutralize him. That's what you do. And
Speaker 1: it's Jordan rules, right, it's do whatever you can to
Speaker 1: contain this one guy, and didn't dare everybody else to
Speaker 1: try to be you. So once you do that, you
Speaker 1: build off of that. And in looking at the film
Speaker 1: of the forty nine ers, go back and look at
Speaker 1: some of the teams that they have the loss to
Speaker 1: or struggle against. Atlanta Falcons. Why they struggle against the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons for the same reason they almost lost to
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders, for the same reason they did
Speaker 1: lose to the Kansas City Chiefs, so forth, and so on.
Speaker 1: This team, as stout as their run defense is, as
Speaker 1: stout as their past defense can be, they struggle when
Speaker 1: you have a quarterback that's even remotely mobile. Does this
Speaker 1: self familiar ladies and gentlemen, even remotely mobile? So if
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott continues to utilize his legs and his mobility
Speaker 1: like he did against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that is
Speaker 1: going to create havoc, especially in the linebacker corps. You're
Speaker 1: talking about Fred one, Yes, all pro got absolute He's
Speaker 1: a dog. He's an animal. However, if you have to
Speaker 1: make him second guests, if you have to make Bosa
Speaker 1: second guests. In that pass for a second guest, well
Speaker 1: you know rpo. The next play is this a keeper
Speaker 1: for Dad? Because is he gonna hand it off to
Speaker 1: Pollard with the speed or Zeke up the A and
Speaker 1: B gap with the strength. The more you make them
Speaker 1: second guests, the more opportunities you will have to not
Speaker 1: only run the ball, but to also be successful in
Speaker 1: getting the ball down the field. And keep in mind,
Speaker 1: their interception leaders are their safeties. So there's there are
Speaker 1: meals to be had. Talk about Jimmy Ward getting grilled
Speaker 1: cheese by DK Metcalf. There are meals to be had
Speaker 1: at that second level. But you have to neutralize the
Speaker 1: second level by making them play sideline the sideline instead
Speaker 1: of downhill. Once they start playing downhill, their pass rush
Speaker 1: is just out of this world, similar to what the
Speaker 1: Cowboys can do keep them off balance timing. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't want them to second guess. You mentioned second guests. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: last year they bully bought us correct Yeah, strength, straight
Speaker 1: bully ball. Right. They came out of the locker room
Speaker 1: with confidence, just thinking that they're just gonna come out
Speaker 1: in de bow and then they did deebo saying you, okay,
Speaker 1: they get the change. Absolutely, make them second guess their toughness, Yes,
Speaker 1: make them second guess their toughness. When you have an
Speaker 1: opportunity to go against a very viable opponent, you have
Speaker 1: to take their will. And the only way you can
Speaker 1: take their will is by taking away the one thing
Speaker 1: that they feel they have the utmost advantage in, and
Speaker 1: that is just toughness. So if you go out there
Speaker 1: and you and you start running the ball downhill on them,
Speaker 1: even though their weakness is on the outside, if you
Speaker 1: start running the ball downhill at them, and that's what
Speaker 1: they feel that they can, they do the best in
Speaker 1: terms of being physical and pushing you back. Now all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you want to talk about second guessing. Now,
Speaker 1: these boys don't have any confidence exactly. And look at
Speaker 1: it this way. The Falcons, first of all, this is
Speaker 1: a run defense in the forty nine is who have
Speaker 1: not allowed a single one hundred yard rusher as an
Speaker 1: individual all season. However, the Atlanta Falcons beat them, and
Speaker 1: they had one hundred and fifty yards rushing on the ground,
Speaker 1: will watch that A third if that came from Marcus Mariota.
Speaker 1: Jared Stidham pushed them to the limit in overtime. A
Speaker 1: third of those rushing yards, which was about one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty a third of those came from Jared Stidham.
Speaker 1: You know, Patrick Mahomes can do rather he chooses to
Speaker 1: do it or not. You know, he's a threat on
Speaker 1: the ground and his speed is comparable to Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1: Neither of them are Lamar Jackson as far as straight
Speaker 1: line speed, but they have enough mobility and speed to say,
Speaker 1: you know what, we're going to keep you second guessing.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have the artillery and the quarterback who can
Speaker 1: do that and then make the forty nine ers pay
Speaker 1: by over committing to a possible run play or keeper
Speaker 1: from Dak Prescott. Because you got Tony Pollard and you
Speaker 1: got Ezekiel Elliott. And if you start to kind of integrate,
Speaker 1: obviously t Y Hilton and Ceede lamb is going to
Speaker 1: get here's Michael Gallop. But then mix it up even more.
Speaker 1: Three tight end sets every once in a while, so
Speaker 1: now you get to send a tight end to help
Speaker 1: on Nick Bosa. But then you get the other tight
Speaker 1: end to be able to release down the seam, and
Speaker 1: now Fred Warner has to make a decision. Right. You
Speaker 1: know what else I want them to second guess? What
Speaker 1: is that? I want them to a second guess their
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, Oh, Demikol Damiko Ryans has had one hell
Speaker 1: of a year. Yea, he has one hell of a
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator and he's highly sought after right now. And
Speaker 1: I want them to second guess his his his preparation. No, h,
Speaker 1: I want them to say, you know why that dude
Speaker 1: I think has four interviews lined up between now in
Speaker 1: the game for hand coaching posiness. Yes, I'm glad you
Speaker 1: brought it up because there are so many questions that
Speaker 1: all three of us are getting on social media. Well,
Speaker 1: are you concerned that dan Quinn has these interviews? Demiko
Speaker 1: has more interviews than the Cowboys defense been a head coach.
Speaker 1: There's more stress there. Damiko Ryans has four opportunities. You
Speaker 1: want talking about somebody who's who's working their way up
Speaker 1: the ranks right now. This is his biggest opportunity that
Speaker 1: he's that he's had to date. He is going to
Speaker 1: be locked in on these. Not to say that he
Speaker 1: can't multitask. But the reality is he's he's a younger decordinator.
Speaker 1: He played, he had one hell of an NFL career
Speaker 1: as well, right, hell of an NFL career. Now he's
Speaker 1: a great defensive coordinator. This is big shot. If there's
Speaker 1: ever an opportunity for him to get the opportunity to
Speaker 1: be a head coach, this is it right now and
Speaker 1: it's showing because guess what, he's gonna go do four
Speaker 1: interviews before between now and the game. He has to
Speaker 1: get up for those. Emotionally, he has to be locked
Speaker 1: in and those he has to do that with one
Speaker 1: hundred percent confidence, which means that he can't be one
Speaker 1: hundred percent on his game plan. And if you take
Speaker 1: him out of his game plan, and then what does
Speaker 1: he start doing? Well, Now I have to start panicking
Speaker 1: now to start blitzing, right. I don't like the blitz
Speaker 1: all the time, but now I gotta start blitzing to
Speaker 1: create some pressure. And now we can do that. Guess
Speaker 1: what toasted? No time on the outside and don't don't
Speaker 1: mess around it and let Demiko start calling his z
Speaker 1: own blitzes because Dak Prescott versus the zone he saw
Speaker 1: last one is the best in the NFL in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two, and the numbers show that too. Yeah, personage
Speaker 1: not a subjective take, Nope, facts Dak Prescott eats his
Speaker 1: zone coverage for breakfast lunch, especially blitz. Yes, So in
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers have shown that they have a
Speaker 1: proclivity to lean towards ze coverage. They can definitely play man,
Speaker 1: but how willing are they going to be to play
Speaker 1: man in a game that is on the heels of
Speaker 1: seeing Jimmy Ward gets slapped around. They're playing man, they're blitzing.
Speaker 1: If they're playing man, they're blitzing. Okay, they don't like
Speaker 1: they don't. They don't like to play a lot of man.
Speaker 1: That's my point. And slab when it drops that their
Speaker 1: weaknesses on the outside the zone. They know that and
Speaker 1: loves the zone, you know what I mean. Even they
Speaker 1: try to run they try to run cover three last week,
Speaker 1: but what does covered three on the outside? Man? Man? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna really quickly before we hit the
Speaker 1: break of field up, we're coming up on that. Here's
Speaker 1: a list of quarterbacks the forty nine ers have gone
Speaker 1: up against. And I'm gonna go ahead and tell you
Speaker 1: right now, only two maybe three, and the third has
Speaker 1: an asterisk around it next to it. Justin Field, Gino
Speaker 1: Smith three times, who had him on the ropes before
Speaker 1: he Geno in the playoffs, Russell Wilson, that's not the
Speaker 1: same Russell Wilson, Ladies and gentleman, Matthew Staff. That's my
Speaker 1: asterix asterisk. If he's healthy, then he's up there. If
Speaker 1: not so much. Baker Mayfield slash PJ. Walker, Marcus Mariota,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes elite, Justin Herbert, He's getting there, but not
Speaker 1: quite there yet. Colt McCoy No, Andy Dalton, no to
Speaker 1: a tiger viola. Yeah, got the weapons, he can do it.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady elite, Taylor Haneke, stop it, Jared Stidham, stop it,
Speaker 1: David Bluff and Trace mcsoley stop it. Of all of these,
Speaker 1: that's a long list that they faced and been dominated against.
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes won, They defeated Tom Brady, so really they've
Speaker 1: only defeated one elite quarterback all season, and now they're
Speaker 1: about to face Dak Prescott in a situation where their
Speaker 1: defense likes loves their own. Guess what DA's love. DA
Speaker 1: loves his own too, So I say all that to
Speaker 1: say not to take away from what the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers defense has accomplished. They have a bunch of horses,
Speaker 1: they have a bunch of dogs, or whatever animal you
Speaker 1: want to use. They can get after you. However, too,
Speaker 1: for those that are constantly buying into the narrative that
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers defense is this brick wall, that
Speaker 1: it's unstoppable, where's the beef in that sandwich that I
Speaker 1: just listed all of those quarterbacks, the goat, the two goats,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady. You defeat it, Brady, fair enough.
Speaker 1: Cowboys just did that too. Patrick Mahomes dropped forty four
Speaker 1: on you. M Okay, I'll just let's just put a
Speaker 1: pin in that. No. I like it because everybody's susceptible
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, no matter what, you could be the
Speaker 1: most unstoppable defense you could possibly be. And San Francisco
Speaker 1: has been really, really good defensively, but they've also had
Speaker 1: some lapses early in the season. They have some holes.
Speaker 1: Now they haven't necessarily played that competition. It all kind
Speaker 1: of adds together. But I want to talk about when
Speaker 1: we come back. There's a tale. It's really a tale
Speaker 1: of two teams with the San Francisco Bunch, the team
Speaker 1: that played before the bye week and the team that
Speaker 1: played after their bye week, completely different when it comes
Speaker 1: to their record and it comes to their performances. And
Speaker 1: there's one common denominator that has taken away from both
Speaker 1: things for San Francisco pre bye week and post bye week.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about how the Cowboys can maybe try
Speaker 1: and have that rare, it's ugly head again against that
Speaker 1: San Francisco defense when we come back. Right after this,
Speaker 1: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the
Speaker 1: Cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought
Speaker 1: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be
Speaker 1: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.
Speaker 1: But the good news is Todd has AT and T
Speaker 1: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he
Speaker 1: learned the best thing to do is stop running and
Speaker 1: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and
Speaker 1: T five G fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated. Five
Speaker 1: G requires compatible plan and device five GMI not be

Speaker 1: Ten out there, and then we want to overflow at Tostito. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: whatever you need to flow, all right, Isaiah Standbackpatrick nose Walker.
Speaker 1: I'm Kyle Yeoman's let's take a look at this. This
Speaker 1: is the San Francisco forty nine ers. They were four
Speaker 1: and four going into their bye week. Their bye week
Speaker 1: was almost smack dab in the middle of the season.
Speaker 1: Week nine, they were four and four. In the first
Speaker 1: eight games, they only forced nine turnovers. They had nine takeaways.
Speaker 1: As a defense. They also didn't really do a great
Speaker 1: job of holding onto the football. They had twelve takeaways
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball. Since then, since
Speaker 1: their bye week, they've rattled off ten straight wins, ten straight.
Speaker 1: They have not lost since prior to their bye week.
Speaker 1: Since then, they've had five turnover is on offense, so
Speaker 1: they've taken care of the football more impressively than even
Speaker 1: the five turnover turnovers on offense. That defense has forced
Speaker 1: twenty one takeaways. From their bye week. They had nine
Speaker 1: in the previous eight games, and the ten after that
Speaker 1: they've had twenty one twenty one different takeaways. If you
Speaker 1: can win the turnover margin, you can win the turnover battle,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a really, really good shot at winning
Speaker 1: the football, correct me if I'm wrong. But the couple boys,
Speaker 1: they're they're pretty good at taking the ball away themselves.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so so to your point, yeah, win the
Speaker 1: turnover margin, so they'll take the football away. I have
Speaker 1: the utmost confidence that dan Quinn's defense will force a
Speaker 1: takeaway maybe two. Now, there haven't been multiple takeaways against
Speaker 1: the San Francisco offense since Week seven. When did it? Why?
Speaker 1: Because teams haven't forced him to throw the ball. That's why.
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna do that. Now you're gonna do that.
Speaker 1: But if in order to do that, you have to
Speaker 1: obviously take points. You got you got score points. Okay,
Speaker 1: score points, that's number one. Okay, you gotta just totally
Speaker 1: just disintegrate this defense. But then you have to take
Speaker 1: away their ability to run the ball, and that's the
Speaker 1: most difficult task there is. Yeah, they have to find
Speaker 1: a way to stop their run at least they gate
Speaker 1: them from running as effectively as they want to. And
Speaker 1: then on the outside, you have to do what you
Speaker 1: did last week. And the more film I watch the
Speaker 1: heart that Shannahans are freaking Jedi. He's a Jedi. I'm
Speaker 1: put it out there for y'all. Okay, he's a freaking
Speaker 1: the forces with this dude. The schemes that he creates,
Speaker 1: and they he creates these schemes so that it is
Speaker 1: so easy for Purdy to make good decisions. It's not difficult.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's protecting the rookie from himself. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: there might be four decoys on a particular play, five
Speaker 1: potential guys that throw the ball too before real decoys,
Speaker 1: and those four decoys jobs to take away to defense,
Speaker 1: to create a void in your defense regardless of the coverage,
Speaker 1: where that one guy can win. And that's what they're
Speaker 1: doing to him. He's forced pushing. It's what he did.
Speaker 1: He just forced pushed the defense out of the way.
Speaker 1: Shanahan's with a heck of a job. But you gotta
Speaker 1: get home. And that's kind of my point with the
Speaker 1: preview that we have with the Cowboys offense and the
Speaker 1: San Francisco defense is the defense is going to force
Speaker 1: a turnover. I fully believe that. Can your offense take
Speaker 1: care of the football. That's one of my biggest questions,
Speaker 1: because yes, you're gonna have to get up, you're gonna
Speaker 1: score points. You gotta take care of the football. You
Speaker 1: did it against Tampa Bay. Check you check that boxing,
Speaker 1: you pass it with flying colors, Patrick, But doing in
Speaker 1: two games in a row, that's where you've got to
Speaker 1: keep locked in. You got to stay that way and
Speaker 1: be not mistaken. Nothing we're saying here discounts from the
Speaker 1: challenge that's being presented to the Cowboys in this round. Right,
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers are better than the temp of
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, even with Tom Brady quarterbacking the temporary Buccaneers
Speaker 1: versus Purty, a rookie, you know, mister irrelevant, as the
Speaker 1: label goes, quarterbacking the San Francisco forty nine Ers, just
Speaker 1: as a unit on all sides of the ball, all
Speaker 1: three phases of the ball, forty nine Ers get the
Speaker 1: job done. My problem is when people aren't digging deeply
Speaker 1: enough to see, well, who who did they get the
Speaker 1: job done against? What were their trends or the quarterbacks
Speaker 1: they win against, and who did they struggle against and
Speaker 1: why did they struggle against them? You know, rewind the
Speaker 1: episode back if you want to get some some some examples.
Speaker 1: Mariota Stidham, you know, Mahomes, But I also found a trend.
Speaker 1: Also found a trend when writing the Science Lab and
Speaker 1: doing the research there. And I'll go ahead and put
Speaker 1: this out there, Dallas Cowboys, if you win the second
Speaker 1: quarter against the San Francisco forty nine ers, the odds
Speaker 1: of you winning the game rise exponentially. Here's an example.
Speaker 1: What I mean forty nine is offense averages nine point
Speaker 1: two points per quarter in the second quarter. That team
Speaker 1: does not often get off to a fast start. They're
Speaker 1: averaging five point one in the first quarter, five point
Speaker 1: three in the third quarter, and it bumps up a
Speaker 1: bit to seven point one in the fourth quarter. They
Speaker 1: make their money in the second quarter. Right, if the
Speaker 1: Cowboys can can defeat them in that quarter, outscore them
Speaker 1: in that quarter, then the odds are exponentially higher they'll
Speaker 1: win the game. And I wrote this in the Science
Speaker 1: Left in the thirteen wins, not counting the postseason, the
Speaker 1: forty nine is outscored opponents to the tune of one
Speaker 1: hundred thirty five to thirty six in the second quarter.
Speaker 1: That team doesn't get off to fast starts. So if
Speaker 1: you see them not getting off to a fast start,
Speaker 1: don't don't think the game is over, Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: That's the first quarter. The second quarter is going to
Speaker 1: ultimately be the tale of this game. Obviously the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter as well, because the Cowboys need to if they
Speaker 1: establish a lead, they to keep their foot on the gas.
Speaker 1: We've seen Green Bay, Jacksonville, they can relent in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. You love that they kept the foot on
Speaker 1: the gas against Tampa Bay. Talk about silence from the sideline.
Speaker 1: Tony Powler comes over there and says, what this is
Speaker 1: too much smiling. We need the ball back. Too much smiling,
Speaker 1: We need the ball back. Dak Prescott said, do not
Speaker 1: let up, not one play, not one second. Keep that
Speaker 1: Momba mentality. You're gonna need it. But if the Cowboys
Speaker 1: can defeat the forty nine Ers and the second quarters specifically,
Speaker 1: the Seahawks did, and the Seahawks were in the game
Speaker 1: all the way until Gino Geno at the top of
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, that is how you can punch a
Speaker 1: hole right through the forty nine ers. So keep that
Speaker 1: in mind, ladies and gentlemen, get off to a fast
Speaker 1: start if you're the Cowboys, and the Cowboys actually do
Speaker 1: average more in the first quarter five point four than
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers offense. So if the Cowboys can
Speaker 1: get off to a fast start and keep the forty
Speaker 1: nine ers from getting off to a fast start. That's
Speaker 1: part one. Part two is can you outscore them in
Speaker 1: the second. If you do that, you'll probably have the
Speaker 1: lead going in the halftime, and all you have to
Speaker 1: do is not let up for the final two quarters.
Speaker 1: They've outscored opponents throughout the entirety of their regular season
Speaker 1: by eighty six points in that second quarter, forty two
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, and then the first and the
Speaker 1: third quarters are very similar. They're right around and they're
Speaker 1: in the teams they've outscored both of those teams, are
Speaker 1: all of their opponents in the teams through the first
Speaker 1: and the third quarters. So I'm right there with you.
Speaker 1: I love that as a stat because if you can
Speaker 1: get off to a hot start this Dallas defense, I
Speaker 1: believe I'd have to go back and look to double check.
Speaker 1: I think they've only given up a one first quarter
Speaker 1: touchdown one they're all year long. They're averaging only three
Speaker 1: point six points allowed per first quarter. Yeah, so a
Speaker 1: lot of that is field goals. Magnificent. Yeah, defense from
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Keep that energy, keep that you need this
Speaker 1: and then that should give you if you get off
Speaker 1: to a fast start and your defense holds teams like
Speaker 1: we just said, averaging three point six allowed in the
Speaker 1: first quarter, then you might even be able to withstand
Speaker 1: a second quarter surge that seems inevitable from the forty
Speaker 1: nine ers. But if you can withstand it or just
Speaker 1: cap or you know, stop it from happening altogether. Oh,
Speaker 1: let's go through the roof of you walking away with
Speaker 1: this wind, Detective Walker, detective stand back. You guys have
Speaker 1: done a phenomenonal job today. Thanks Kyle, dissecting what is
