The trade deadline 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:46.879 has now come and gone. It is now in the 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.840 rearview mirror. And we asked the question, we really did. 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:53.159 We asked it multiple times. Should the Cowboys be buyers 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:57.400 or sellers at the trade deadline? Well, we have our answer, 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.160 and it goes into the bye week. And now we've 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:03.200 got two full weeks for some new additions to possibly 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:06.400 make an impact on this football team. But since it's 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:10.200 also the bye week, it's also our final episode of 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:16.080 Talking Cowboys this week, which in turn means it's a 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:17.759 say it with. 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:23.360 You, chef.

Quinn Williams is now a 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.240 Cowboy and we're gonna react to it here. Plus we're 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.800 gonna take your calls because it's on the wire Wednesday too. 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.360 Eight eight, five, five, two two nine seven will take 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.960 those calls starting in the second segment. But we've got 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.720 a break down what the heck just happened in Cowboys 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:15.600 Nation with Patrick Josh, Isaiah Chris Beam in the back. 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:22.560 I'm Kyle Yeomans.

Azing trade? Get 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.400 you something? I like those trades. 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:36.640 That. 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.359 Yeah, I'm just gonna let you take it, sir. 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:43.040 Well, No, this is your moment, this is your moment. 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.880 You fought for this hook and I'm happy with it too. 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.320 Let me get that very clear. I did want an address. No, no, no, 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.560 both of you don't chose both of you don't you 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:53.960 do this. 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.760 I'm not hearing it, Isaiah. I'm going to stare longingly 0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:59.919 as you describe for you what Quinn Williams is going 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:04.840 bring to this even I'm here for you. 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:05.680 Listen, y'all. 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:11.120 First of all, shout out to all of our Talking 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:16.320 Cowboys fan Milie who reached out to me via DM 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.920 and you know, on on X and everywhere else. I 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:24.640 appreciate y'all keeping the receipts, you know the people listen. Yeah, 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.160 a lot of people hit me up and said, you 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.200 got your wish. You called this out. You've been beating 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.320 the table for this all that stuff, and it's very true, 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:34.119 and I appreciate y'all. I recognize y'all. This is exactly 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.880 the move that I was hoping for. It was one 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:41.120 of maybe three players that I was hoping that Dallas 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:45.160 would go for. Obviously, on this platform, we can't say 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:49.560 their names when they're associated with another team this year. 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.960 We don't want those problems so we could lose draft pick. 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.160 We love being here on Talking Cowboys and we love 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.160 our organization here. But there was a handful of players 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.560 in this individual in Quinn Williams, it was one of 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.360 those individuals. That was in my mind that I would 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.440 have loved for them to go and attain. I did not, however, 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:09.840 believe that he was tangible because I didn't think that 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.160 Dallas would give up the capitol to acquire him, and 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.680 yet they did. What does that mean now, Well, it 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:20.520 means that you have one of the most respected the 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.960 interior defensive lineman that you acquired via Micaeh Parsons trade 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.600 from Green Bay and Kenny Clark respected. You see his 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.320 say it's dominant, but you see his impact weekend and 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.600 week out right, he impacts the game. However, that's one guy. 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.640 Everybody's going to say, well, what about osa Adigi Zoo. 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.640 Ohso you just gave also a bunch of money. Olsa 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.360 is still an impact player? Is he a dominant interior 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:43.320 defensilignment He's not. 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:44.200 He's not. 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.919 He's an impactful defensive lineman, but he's not a dominant 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.040 interior defensi lineman. So when you have a well respected 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.880 guy who holds his own in Kenney Clark, and you 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:54.800 have osa a Diggi Zoo that you paid, and you 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.320 have a Solomon Thomas that is putting out effort out 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.880 of this world, and then you're coming off a game 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.600 in which you ran a five to one front right 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.680 where you were able to finally look at your current 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.600 defensive ends that I know some of us was beating 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.480 the table for and they had success when they had 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:16.440 one on one opportunities. That was in the form of 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:23.280 Clowney and Ezaku. Those two had one one. Yeah, exactly, 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:25.240 those guys had one on one opportunities, and you saw 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:26.240 what they're capable of. 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.400 So the confidence that they had. 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:34.000 Within their roster to let Micah walk, you saw as 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.039 to why they felt that way a little bit in 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.039 this last game, like, Okay, these guys can get to 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.400 the QB and some of them still are are getting baked. 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.479 Some of them are still in the process of cooking. 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.800 But there's there's there's there's an opportunity there. So how 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:50.920 can we accelerate their opportunities and their growth. How about 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.320 we add one of the most dominant interior defense alignment 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:57.200 in the game. And I don't even think that he's 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.839 he hasn't even hit his prime. Don't even hit his prime. 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:07.520 So Quinn Williams is somebody who requires two. Try him 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.400 with one. He requires too, But if you want to 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:14.200 try him with one go ahead, right, will invite you 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:14.640 to do that. 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.839 We also invite you to try Kenny Clark with one. 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.840 So when you put a one technique and you put 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.840 a three technique, those guys are now in the gaps 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.680 between each shoulder of your center. This is what I've 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.320 been saying for some weeks. Now your center snaps the 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.960 ball here that has to choose. I'm gonna help my 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.680 right guard or I'm gonna help my left guard. 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:37.239 Right. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.640 Either way, one of these guys has to get double teamed. 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.680 But I can't double them both. You cannot. 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:47.080 So two guys an interior, Clark and Williams. 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.280 I need to double team both of them, but I 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.360 can't double team both of them. So one of them 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.280 always has a chance to win. And if those three 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:57.320 offensive linemen guard, center, guard are taking responsibility for my 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:01.800 interior two say I'm not great at math, I got 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:05.560 my masters. But one on one with your dns. Yeah, 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.320 And also not only do your dns get the benefits 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.600 of having two dominant interior defensive linemen. So they have 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:15.800 their one on one matches which they are literally doing 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:17.520 backflips but naked with huggies on. 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.520 Okay, these guys are these guys are excited. 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.280 About those one on one matchups now, both in the 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:26.760 run game and the past game. But now your linebackers, 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.040 who you have been questioning their ability to choose the 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:32.080 right hole their vision, they're being in the right spot 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.000 on run plays, run fits, all that stuff. 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.520 Now those guys who are very capable of. 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:40.360 Running and hitting, every single one of them, Shamar James, 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:44.400 Kenneth Murray, Maris lea foul demo's coming back. You have 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.800 all these guys that are really good at running and hitting. 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.920 If you take away they're a freaking roadblock that's in 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:52.400 front of them, and now they can. 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.080 Just see ball and go hit ball. 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:58.760 Oh there's no lineman now left to go block them. 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.120 So not only do your dns get better, but now 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:05.560 your linebackers just what got better? So your run fits 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:09.600 got better, So your overall rush defense got better. Not 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.840 one position, but one position made a huge impact on 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:17.240 an entire front seven. And if your front seven is 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.520 better against the run, really good against the run now 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:21.680 and they can get after the quarterback because they have 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:25.840 one on one matchups, both interior pressure and exterior pressure. 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.920 Because as a quarterback, if I can't step up, I'm 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:29.400 in a world of trouble. So now you have two 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:35.040 interior pressure guys. Your secondary automatically gets better automatically because 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.520 there's less time for the quarterback to sit back and 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.400 a lot of these receivers to get down the field. So, yes, 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.360 there are other areas that you want to address, but 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:45.240 this one move impacts everything on your defense. 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.720 I've been waiting all night in morning for you to cook. 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:50.800 Thank you, sir, Josh you're next. 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:53.880 You also bang the table for this one. 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:57.000 I mean, Logan Wilson, we talked about it. He is 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.720 a position upgrade. You know you upgraded that position. 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:00.720 True, Mike linebacker. 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:04.120 I watched a little bit of tape on him yesterday too. 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:06.960 I think he can cover better than what people are 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:10.480 giving him credit. I think I don't think he's I 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.760 don't think he's completely a cover linebacker. Let's not get 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:17.960 that question if we're talking about doing something that your 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:19.600 linebackers don't have already. 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.760 True, Mike, he can cover better than that. He was 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.240 bumping out shot He then say he was bumping out 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:25.000 all right? 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.199 Yeah, and let's just be clear. A position upgrade there, Yes, 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:33.760 Quentin Williams makes your team better. Simply put, Yes, we're 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.679 talking about it. We were talking about if you're able 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.960 to stop the run, that is, you are able then 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.840 to upgrade every position after that, the second level, the third, 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:45.920 all of those things you can dictate get better. You 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.959 can dictate what goes on. And like we just talked 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.840 about this last game, five man front and you're seeing 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.200 your defensive ends on one on ones, right, and you 0:09:56.280 --> 0:10:00.000 saw sacks. You saw improvement, five of them, five sacks, 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:00.959 five of them things. 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:08.720 Dude, great the way you looked at you, and I would. 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.560 Urge you to look at the trade sort of outside 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:16.960 looking in. If you frame it in. You traded Micah 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.080 Parsons and a second round pick for this year or 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.960 for this coming in for Kenny Clark, Quentin Williams and 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:24.800 a first round pick. 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:29.760 You basically took the strength of your team being your. 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:31.520 Edge rushers, and you moved inside and. 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:38.760 Correct one edge rusher, and you made it an unstoppable 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.880 force on the inside, or I guess better word is 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:45.200 an immovable object on the inside. That's what you've made 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.640 your interior. We've talked about QB vision every week on 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:51.680 this show, every week, and we talk about, man, this 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:54.360 guy is really good on the interior. We talk about 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:58.880 Jayleen Carter with the Philadelphia Eagles, right, talk about uh, 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.360 Leonard Williams in the times that we've played him a 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:06.559 boyfriend Denver big boy, Yeah, Jones, Chris Jones. Yeah. And 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.920 then you've got Chris Jones with Kansas City, and then 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.800 you've got Denver. You've got some of these massive fronts. 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.160 Now teams are going to look at Dallas and be like, 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:19.000 oh wow, they've got that guy Quinnin Williams, who's quite 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.880 possibly the best nose tackle in football. Then you turn around, 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.720 you've got Kenny Clark, who's a three time Pro Bowler 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.200 and playing out of his mind at different times. 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:29.000 The depth there who's behind them? 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.679 So Digizua who just got like a massive contract that 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.520 is going to be fresh and he'll be the He'll 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:40.920 Solomon Solomon Thomas. Yeah, there's depth there in that position. 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.360 But they got Smith, so no, that's gonna be what 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:44.400 he was traded. 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.120 Oh sorry, Mazzi. 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:48.760 He has Gang Green though. 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:53.320 Yeah, he's up in New York. The The the biggest 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.760 thing though that I like about this whole scenario, other 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.760 than just making the interior of your defensive line such 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:03.360 a high point, is they are both under contract Kenny 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:07.840 Clark and Quinn and Williams until twenty twenty eight. Because man, 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.920 my whole thing with this trade deadline, and you guys 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.800 are very aware of where I've been. I was no trade, 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.880 then I was trade, and like the last week and 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:20.040 a half, I'm like, man, if there our offenses is human, 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.160 then maybe we shouldn't be trade again. But I was 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.400 okay with whatever ended up happening. Now that you look 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.920 at it, you haven't wagered your future. If anything, you're 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.320 building to win, you need to build two, which is 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:36.240 twenty six, twenty seven and twenty twenty five. You're immediately better, 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.280 So you take a step forward. Now, are you a 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.240 contender right now? Probably not. We'll get into that too. 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:44.920 You're still three five and one going into the bye 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.280 week in one of the toughest schedules in football. But 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.880 my god, in twenty twenty six and twenty twenty seven, 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:53.040 you have set yourself up for success, to be an 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.440 elite team as long as you hit on a couple 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:56.400 of those draft picks. 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:57.079 That you have held on to. 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:01.240 As I was always team trade. I never came off that. 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.400 And not only was I always team trade, I said, 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.559 come up off of one of those first round picks 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:05.760 to do. 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:07.480 It was. 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.760 I was afraid I was to get a dominant place. 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:13.040 I'm okay with Quinn. 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:17.880 Williams a monster those first rounder I will say this, 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:19.840 it was It was funny because I had the thought 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:21.720 on the way on the drive end to day and 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.599 I was like, you know what that conversation d T 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.720 versus d E, d T versus DT. We've all seen 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.920 loony tombes. This felt like Daffy Duck and bugs Bunny 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:35.679 by the tree. Duck seasons, duck season, it's rabid season. 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:36.720 It's swapping season. 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:37.520 That was good. 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.880 The beauty of it is, although that side of the 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:45.280 table got exactly what they wanted, we kind of got 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:48.440 some spillover from that because not only can Quinn Williams 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:50.040 stop the run, but you know what, he's. 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:53.160 Also down can pass rush, passed rush. 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:55.839 So it's like it's like the football gods looked at 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.160 talking cowboys and said, you know what, let's just give 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.400 him somebody that everybody. 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.400 So it's a win win. The thing is when you. 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.439 Have that presence on the interior, and I would I 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.560 would urge everybody to go back and look and listen 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:10.600 I don't know if you have your paper up at all, 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:11.560 but you. 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.640 Ready put it up please, yes, thank you very much. 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:17.400 Yeah, super Bowl. We can even replace that with playoffs. 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:22.200 But when you have a dominant interior, it is a 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.720 quarterback's worst nightmare. A dominant defensive end is not a 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:27.600 worst not the worst nightmare for a quarter. 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.120 No, you can schem around the whole conversation with Micah, 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:31.880 I can scheme a d N and send help. 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.840 I also can step up right and they can run 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.400 him around the Hulu hou right. So d ns, yes 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.240 they're dangerous, and yes they're impactful, and they have a 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.520 tremendous impact on the game. But I can I can 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:44.360 avoid a d N. I can't avoid an interior d 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:49.120 lineman or two. It sucks. I can't step up. I 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:53.120 can't even my center is the center of my offensive line. 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:57.080 I can't get anything going. If he doesn't do his job, 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:00.520 I can't go I can't get reach blocks, I can't 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:03.440 go downhill, I can't get to my zone schemes. If 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:07.360 my center can't get going, the play is blown up. 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.600 That doesn't matter if it's a run play or a 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:14.040 pass play. Now, if I have one good defensive lineman. Okay, 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.040 we can scheme it up a little bit because my 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:17.640 guard can come and help and we can try to 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:18.960 combo and wash things out. 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:24.400 Right, But two nah, two, two nah, and think about it. 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:25.960 Look at the look at the remaining schedule. 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.360 I know people are going to look at the schedule, right, said, Oh, well, 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:29.160 the Cowboys out of it. 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:30.280 What do those teams do? 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:30.560 Well? 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.400 Run the ballton, But see what makes it even? 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:36.120 Starting in the first game after the bye week, their 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.400 number one weapon on offense is a rookie running back 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:38.880 by the name. 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:40.240 We call them number one. 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:45.000 Okay, number two back right, you're right, number number two 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:46.120 on offense? 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:47.000 Who's number two? 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.280 You're right? I forgot about hours, which you don't. 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:54.360 Yeah, sorry, but Ashton Genty is coming to town or 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.520 you know, we were playing in his town, I guess now, 0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.760 but playing against his hometown team where he wanted to 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.160 get drafted, never got the chance to. And then now 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.440 he's got a chance to do what Rico Daudell did, 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:05.920 but in a different way. 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.400 But it's also I can't stress this enough. 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:13.240 As much as Kenny Clark and Quinn Williams provide you 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.720 that wall, that unmovable. 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:19.080 Object, they can push the pocket. 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.640 Yes, when they just look, they can collapse it from 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:27.920 the interior and force the quarterbacks to either be be 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.600 dumb enough to number one, if you're if you're operating 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.720 from under center as a quarterback and you're trying to 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.840 get into a five step drop, you're not making it 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.280 to five. You're not making it to five. That ball 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.720 has to come out or you're sacked from the interior. 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:42.720 Now you have to rush to the outside. And that's 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.200 what's gonna take one on one coverages, at one on 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:45.920 one matchups. 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:47.520 That's gonna take that time clock down. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.040 Yeah, from coverage. 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:52.040 Even even in the cover standpoint, right, what what have 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.000 we been seeing from the zone defense? 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:54.200 Right? 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:55.240 People have had issues. 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.720 I've had issues with Iberflus's defense in regards to the 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:01.600 corners playing so far off and then bailing and then 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.840 bailing right. So now right, people are like, well, what 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:05.680 is this going to do? Your tacondary still sucks. That's 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:08.879 what everybody's saying. Okay, when I have this defensive line 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.640 now right, especially with the interior presence, I now can 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:12.600 walk my corners up. 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:12.840 Yep. 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:15.720 So I'm still playing my zone right, I'm still I'm 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:17.520 pretty sure he's still going to run zone right until 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:20.359 the trademon comes back. But I can now walk my 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.040 corners up, so I can still run those zones. But 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.560 now I could take a second off. I can make 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:27.360 you spend a second at the line of scrimmage trying 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.679 to get off the ball as a receiver, and now 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:33.600 you're running into what a zone versus me playing off 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:35.600 right and trying to play downhill. 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:36.360 I can now. 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.760 Disrupt what you do at the line of scrimmage. I 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:42.159 could disrupt your release. And while I'm disrupting you and 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:44.959 you're trying to get into your route, your quarterback has 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:49.160 to deal with pressure up the middle and outside because 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:51.840 Jadavian Clowney is now reloaded. 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.000 Yeah, and for the people I know there are a 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:55.160 lot of fans on Twitter. 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:56.760 Not a lot, but there are several fans on Twitter. 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:58.679 I saw in my replies that were asking, you know, 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.600 no seed, does this mean Cowboys can move to a 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:03.399 three four? I think your numbers are going in the 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:06.000 wrong direction. You're talking about a five to one, five 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:10.400 to two. Okay, you talked about it just last game. 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:14.200 The Cowboys showed five man four. They showed five man 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.320 front twenty four times last game. They've only showed it 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:20.359 thirty one times the entire season, and twenty four of 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:24.680 those times came last last game before you added Quentin Williams. 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.439 Yeah, so no, they're not moving from. 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:29.320 A four to three to a three four, keeping my 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.840 nickelas always base anyway, yep, but just for the fun math, 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.159 you're moving to a five, not a three, So just 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:36.800 keep that in mind. 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:39.320 You could for run stopping purposes, you could do that. 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:43.080 But now if I am eber Flus, I am fully 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:43.840 confident with four. 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:47.480 Yeah, yeah, you don't have to run five. Did say yesterday? 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:50.560 He said he anticipates five man fronts, they're gonna run 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:50.919 more of it. 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:51.359 That makes me. 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.399 Showed it and then made it happen, And it's one 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:55.919 on ones across the board too. 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:59.240 And now you have the personnel to prove it really truly. 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:01.960 In four men front, you really have the personnel that 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:04.320 you rely on and feel comfortable with that if it 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:06.439 goes to five. That's the only thing I don't like 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:06.960 about stuff. 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:08.760 The only thing I don't like about five man fronts 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:10.280 is there's a lot of space in the middle of 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:13.320 the field. Yeah, a lot, which is why I highly 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:15.800 discourage five man front unless it's a running situation. 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.480 Four men work for me, now, right, four guys up front? 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.760 Now with those two jokers, then you put freaking Osa 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:25.480 Diggiezua to be between a guard and a tackle, and 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:27.359 then you put one of your pass rushers right, one 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:29.880
