Hello everyone, and welcome into another edition of 5 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: Talking Cowboys. Of course, always joined by the greatest Brian 6 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: Rob Mickey here in the SWBC Mortgage Studio. We've got 7 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: a good show today. We're gonna look at some big 8 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 1: picture things, kind of get a general sense of what's 9 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: really going on in the NFL after a kind of 10 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: a crazy weekend in different games that were wild and 11 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: people weren't expecting. So how's everyone doing today that's always 12 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: ready to roll, doing great? Taking a little bit of 13 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: a deep breath as the Cowboys are trying to get 14 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: their legs underneath them today. Yeah, they had kind of 15 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: they'd released a couple of media schedules right out through 16 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: the game, and then of course yesterday afternoon changed it 17 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: up a bit and the team will not practice today. 18 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: They will have an open locker room, but they're not 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: going to practice. Come in for a later meeting. That's 20 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: what Garrett said, kind of get back to what they 21 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: know and what they do. But people were asking, and 22 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: I want to know what you guys think. They were 23 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: thinking that this is becoming a little bit of a 24 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: disadvantage for the Dallas Cowboys. Of course, they're coming off 25 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: a short week game on Monday night. The Rams are 26 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: coming off a longer week with having the game last 27 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: Thursday night. How much does that really factor in to 28 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: your preparation for the game? I think maybe from not 29 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: so much from a preparation standpoint, because you've seen you've 30 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: seen the Rams they played Thursday, so you know you've 31 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: got people on your staff that could get a head 32 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: start on that. Maybe just from a rest and recuperation standpoint. 33 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: It is a short weekend, by the way. I mean, 34 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to look past the Rams, and I'm not. 35 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: But the Packers next says the same way. They play 36 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: this Thursday night, so they'll have a few extra days off. 37 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: So it's not ideal for their schedule for sure. Yeah, 38 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: it's not fair. Let's just say it. You had to 39 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: play on the other coast on a Monday night, no 40 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: one got to bed before four thirty five in the 41 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: morning on Tuesday. On Tuesday, you're normally having two days 42 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: off between Yeah, between games before you get back to practice, 43 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: so you're gonna have one less day of practice. They'll 44 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: have a walk through at four o'clock. That's like a 45 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: meeting on the field basically, and then you get one. 46 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: They probably won't even put the pads on this week. No, 47 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: they'll save a padded practice for sure. It kind of 48 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: feels like a Thanksgiving week in a way. It sort 49 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: of does. Yeah, and you have a noon game too, 50 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: And a lot of people are excited about that, I know, 51 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: because it's right there early in the day. But that 52 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: kind of cuts your time too, you know. They were 53 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: talking about it. I was hearing some players talking about it. 54 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: They're like, noon games are great, but you have to 55 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: get up so early. Well, think about it. If you're 56 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: if you're like if you were on the road, say 57 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: and you were on the early bus, like we normally 58 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: go get there three hours before the game, that means 59 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: you're getting to the stadium at nine o'clock in the morning, 60 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: you know, So that means you're up at seven. Probably 61 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: you're at the hotel, right, they spend the night at 62 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: the hotel, so you know you're up at six thirty 63 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: seven o'clock in the morning. Leaving by eight. It's an 64 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: early game for the Rams though too, so yeah, it's 65 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: ten am for them, you know, in there. But yeah, 66 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: the one advantage at least they're traveling. They're not in 67 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: Saint Louis anymore. Right. The one advantage that the Cowboys 68 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: do have is the fact that they and I myself, 69 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: I was able to look at three of their games 70 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: before Sunday, So you know that that's for guys like, 71 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: you know, for Steve Brown and Turner West assistant coaches 72 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: that have to do the weekly breakdowns, they had everything 73 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: ready to go. A matter of fact, I guarantee you 74 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: Monday they were already in prep of, okay, what do 75 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: we need to do for you know, for that Rams 76 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: game for you know, you know, having game planned stuff ready, 77 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: you know, the coaches. So when they hit the ground 78 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: running Tuesday, you know, it was a little bit easier 79 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: transition for them. They had all their stuff already done, 80 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,839 Speaker 1: so it wasn't like they had to work on two 81 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: different things, you know, the game for the Rams. Yeah, 82 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: I me, personally, I would love the NFL to take 83 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: away the Thursday night game me personally, all together, and 84 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: I'm okay with two Monday night games. If that's what 85 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: you want to do, if you want to have an 86 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: earlier Monday night game in a later money night game 87 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: instead of a Thursday game, you know, I think that 88 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: would I think that would help teams. I don't play 89 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: on Thursday is not fun for anybody, you know, and 90 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,239 Speaker 1: it's surely not, you know, for the health of the players. 91 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: The league has made it to where it's all now 92 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: about divisional games. We don't see any games. And the 93 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: visual games are great, you know, Giants first, Cowboys, Giants first, 94 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: Redskins are all great. But to me, you know, I 95 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: would rather them have just two Monday night games. Then 96 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: I would make teams have to play on Thursdays feel 97 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: more comfortable. If it was something like, hey, the Cowboys 98 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: are so traditionally known for playing on Thursday of Thanksgiving. 99 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: That's just one Thursday. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, I think, 100 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: and maybe you add to that day. You just know 101 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: they already have, I know they have, but they've only 102 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: added and then the Cowboys. Yeah, but the Cowboys, they 103 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: make them play now that the advantage they might have 104 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: had on the Thursday game now is you turn around 105 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: and play again the following Thursday. You gotta wait a week. Yeah, 106 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: where you get the advantage. Yeah, you don't. You don't 107 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: get that. So it's it's it's gonna be tough, you know. 108 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,799 Speaker 1: The Rams. Yeah, they and the Rams had a nice victory. 109 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: You know, they're coming off a nice game against the 110 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. They're feeling good about their program, you know, 111 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: but they've got some of the same challenges. I mean, 112 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: their coaches didn't get the prep on the Cowboys until Tuesday. Yeah, 113 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: they're they're behind a day on their prep. How much 114 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: do you think the Cowboys threw in a few plays 115 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: in that game to give them something extra to practice against. 116 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like Switzer? Well getting back. Oh no, so 117 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: we and we talked about Brian in motion. That's a 118 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: great thing about our show. That's a great I think 119 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: we'll talk about We'll tell you they we think they 120 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: might do this and that, and you know, so you 121 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: know it is it's the advantage that the Cowboys have, 122 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: Like I said, yeah, physically it's not an advantage right now, 123 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: but prep wise, they do have an advantage. And you 124 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: know in these coaches they do a really good job. 125 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: But you know, we only get to go out there 126 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: for part of the practice. But when you start talking 127 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: about putting goal line packages, start putting in short yardage packages, 128 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: you know, Jason garretting them do a good job of 129 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: managing the plays and making sure, Okay, this is what 130 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: we've seen from the rams, this is what we need 131 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: to do, you know, and all that, and but physically 132 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: it allows them to heal a little bit. I think 133 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: that's the thing that's the most important is try and 134 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: find a way to let them heal a little bit more. 135 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: This is a team that landed at four o'clock in 136 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: the morning yesterday, so they need to get their get 137 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: off their feet a little bit. To Brian's point, the 138 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: Cowboys were at a bigger disadvantage week two against Denver because, yes, 139 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: Denver played Monday night and they only had one game 140 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: of tape to really go off of before that game 141 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: was played. So yeah, it's about it's about getting getting 142 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: healthy and getting rested. Denver's a team though that you 143 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: traditionally don't play a bunch, So that goes back to 144 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: what Jason Garrett always yeah, Jason Garrett always talks about 145 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: in the summertime, coaches sit around and say, Okay, what 146 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: things do we need to work on. Okay, we don't 147 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: play the Broncos very much, we don't play the Chiefs 148 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: very much, we don't play AFC West. So you work 149 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: on those teams to kind of get a little bit 150 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: of a jump, and then it allows you to get 151 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: into your prep work when you have a week like 152 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: they have right now. Yeah, I've heard them talk about 153 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: how they'd prepare for these crazy to kind of week 154 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: scenarios way in advance. Yeah, Wayne advance, which I think 155 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: is smart. Yea, no, excuse me, sorry. Yesterday I heard 156 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: coach Garrett say that, you know, he was going to 157 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: see what Jordan Lewis and Shaun Lee could do with 158 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: the little tweaked hamstrings going into this week. Now they 159 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: have an extra day to kind of rest that not 160 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: agitated anymore. But do you think that will help them 161 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: or will they not have enough practice to kind of 162 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: get back together. Where does that play out for them? Well, 163 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: Lewis is one definitely an eye on, because I think 164 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: Sean is more in position of as a veteran guy, 165 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: short week, ready to go if his body's right, and 166 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: it sounded like he was feeling better coming off of 167 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: the game. Lewis, I wonder about a little bit because yeah, 168 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: he's had it before. Young guys, he's played a couple 169 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: of games now, man, and you've got corners that are 170 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: banged up already. So that's a position to watch this 171 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: week for I don't think either one of them would 172 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: have practiced today anyway. So from that standpoint, it probably 173 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if they were banged up, you would say, Okay, 174 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: take Wednesday off, let's get back on Thursday, or let's 175 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: get back on Friday. So from that standpoint, I don't 176 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: think that affects it, you know, one way or another. 177 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see just where those guys are 178 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: when they do get back out there on Thursday. Yeah, 179 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: I agree with Mickey on that all the way. I 180 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: you know, to me, I don't think they would have 181 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: practiced today. I do, And I like Rob's thought though 182 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: about the young guy. And you know, with with Lewis, 183 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: so he the whole really the whole training camp. I mean, 184 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: he's really hit the ground running to get back to 185 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: where he is right now, at least to give himself 186 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: an opportunity. But you know, practice for him obviously, you 187 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: know the week one he didn't or week two he 188 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: didn't get a lot of practice in the Denver game, 189 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: kind of went out there and played. Week three, we 190 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: saw him get practice, what do you do? Played much better. 191 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: So that's that's where practice time makes a difference. Absolutely. 192 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 1: Now DeMarcus Lawrence will be joining Shawn Lee and David 193 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: Irvine and something that Cowboys haven't had in the last 194 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: five seasons. They have now all been named defensive Players 195 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: of the Week. Obviously David Irvine last year with the 196 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: performance against the Packers. Shaun Lee remind me when that 197 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: one was. Was that against the Giants last year? He 198 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: had one game where he had his Giants are Eagles. 199 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: It was one of those games we had probably seventeen Yeah, exactly. Yeah. 200 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: But DeMarcus Lawrence getting this one for his performance on 201 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: Monday night against Arizona with the three sacks, leading the 202 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: league in sacks, just being absolutely dominant, such a force 203 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: out there. I think this was a well deserved donor 204 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: for him. Oh yeah, absolutely, I mean he's yeah, no, quick, Brian, 205 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: he is. Not only did he he make history with 206 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: he's the third guy ever to have multiple sacks in 207 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: the first three games of a season. He's tied for 208 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: the eighth most sacks ever through the first three games 209 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: of an NFL season. That's ridiculous, and he should be 210 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: He should have eight right now, he should be tied 211 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: for the most ever. Uh, if you take it's the record. 212 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: Mark Gassino in nineteen eighty four, pretty pretty exclusive company 213 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: tells you about the start he's had. You know what, 214 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: it's not just the sacks either. I mean it's the quarterback. 215 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: If quarterback hits the tackles for losses, just affecting the 216 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: pocket almost every time he rushes. I mean he's almost 217 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: been unblockable, and he's played the run well. Those tackles 218 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: for losses are significant, But a complete player, that's what 219 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: you want him from your defensive end. You want that 220 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: guy that you know you don't want to they would say, 221 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: a one trick pony. You want a guy that can 222 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: can play the run, and that you know, he's always 223 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: been that guy though that can. You've seen him though 224 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,719 Speaker 1: on that left side, be able to play the run. 225 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: Now you see him have some success rushing to pack 226 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: or at least being more consistent doing that, you know, 227 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: winning off the line. And Rob brought it up yesterday. 228 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: The health, you know, the conditioning, all that I think 229 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: has made paid dividends for him in a big way. 230 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: Now do you have a clone for the other side. Well, 231 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, did you guys know who 232 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: led the team? Don't look at anything, just tell me 233 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: who you think it was. If you know it, you're smart. 234 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: Guy who led the team in sacks last year Benson Mayo, 235 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: what's six? Six? And he had four and a half 236 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: of those or four of them last December, Yeah, December 237 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: three games they sat him down. Yeah, and then he 238 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: came back and yeah, December one. December one was when 239 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: he started. The Minnesota game was when he started back. 240 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: And his month of December was incredible. As a matter 241 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: of fact, two the last three leaders in sacks had six. 242 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: Jeremy Minsy led the team in twenty fourteen with six, 243 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: some guy named DeMarcus Lawrence led the next year with eight, yeah, 244 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: and then Mayo with six. So they haven't had double 245 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: digit sacks since. It's amazing, Hatcher, this team has such 246 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: a great history. I know bass rushers and to have 247 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: just eight in six sacks, but you know they went 248 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: from ninety six through two thousand six seven before they 249 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: had somebody with double digit sacks. They went from Torst 250 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: me I was Tony Toby. Yeah, I remember, I would 251 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: have been aware. I couldn't find your quarterback, Mickey, and 252 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: I couldn't find your defensive end. It would have been 253 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: where his second year right, wore daddies. They're hard to find. 254 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: What about daddies? First round Glover did Glover du anything sacks? 255 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: Not from a sacks standpoint, but he was a Pro 256 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: Bowl It was a Pro Bowl, probaber all four years. 257 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: I still think is the best free agent signing they've 258 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: ever had. But it's just amazing to me when I 259 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: heard that stat. Obviously I remember it at the end 260 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: of last season, but it just seemed like I never 261 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: thought that was an issue. I mean, I'm sure in 262 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: certain games it was like, hey, get the quarterback down, 263 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 1: I Manning down, Ben Roethlisberger down, you know, But David 264 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: Irving was so dominant, dominant against the Packers in the 265 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: regular season game, and there were other big performances from 266 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: defensive guys kind of at random times, so maybe it 267 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: was more spread evenly. I don't think it was spread 268 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: even well. I think I rone Crawford had a few, 269 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: and they need they needed more. That was their biggest 270 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: problem in the last two years not enough sack well 271 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: and as a team I've spoken of this before. You 272 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 1: just mentioned they spent a high draft pick on Randy Gregory. 273 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: They tried the Greg Hardy experiment. So you have to 274 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: draft and you have to take chances to try to 275 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: find these guys. Because Stephen Jones has spoken to this before. 276 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: If you've got a war daddy pass rusher, he's not 277 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: going anywhere. You're either going to franchise him or you're 278 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: gonna sign him long term. So it's been an issue. 279 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: Now they drafted Lawrence and traded up for him in 280 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: the second round to be this kind of guy, and 281 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: if he's healthy, we're starting to see an elite pass rusher, 282 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: potentially nicky. Why do you think he is? It the 283 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: health and the conditioning, what what? What's in your opinion 284 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: kept him well being the guy that we're seeing. Let's 285 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: let's think about his career. Yeah, his rookie year, he 286 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: broke a fifth meta tarso in his foot right and 287 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: he missed the first seven games, right, so by time 288 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: he got back out there, miss basically training cap, you know, 289 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden that last game of 290 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: the season in the playoff game, right like oh that's him. Yeah. 291 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: The next year, so that was twenty fourteen. Twenty fifteen, 292 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: the back went out on him right right, and he 293 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: started missing practice. He still had eight sacks, and so 294 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: you're sitting there going, Okay, this guy's he's on the move, right, 295 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: and then he has offseason back surgery. I think he 296 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: came back too soon. He also got suspended the first 297 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: four games of twenty for sure, right and and and 298 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: then right away the back issue you cropped up, and 299 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: he probably should have had the surgery in October sometime, 300 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: and he tried to play through it, missed the last 301 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: three games of the season. They tried to save him 302 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: for the playoffs. He told us tay, you know he 303 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: I think his quote was, it's not time to I 304 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: don't want to run and hide under the covers. He 305 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: felt like he owed it to the team after being 306 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: suspended for auff, like Mickey said, and he yeah, he 307 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: could have easily had that surgery last fall. This is 308 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: probably a terrible question and an offseason question. But but 309 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: when you're talking about the back and long term signing 310 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: or sign ability, give you pause. It would give me 311 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: franchise pause. Yeah, Like, Okay, this is one year you're healthy, right, 312 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: do I need to see it again before I give 313 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: you a five year, seventy million dollar contract, kind of 314 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: like they did with the with the who's my guy guy? 315 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: I hate when I forget guys from Purdue that the 316 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: first round picked at Spencer Spencer. Yeah, yeah, Spencer. They 317 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: backed back franchised him. Remember, he made like twenty one 318 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: million dollars basically for one year. Spencer was funny because 319 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: guys don't typically don't like being franchise, but he was like, hey, 320 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: three ten million bucks, okay, yeah, he'll go for it. 321 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: He signed it like the next day every year. But 322 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: he played. He played the one year, and then he 323 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: got hurt yea, the knee never came back and so 324 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: that but that's the that's the that's the pitfall. Sometimes 325 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: when you seem to talk about wanting to see a 326 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: guy do it one more year, didn't they do that 327 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: with an offensive tackle Adam flows Ll Yeah yeah, they 328 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: franchised him, Let's do it one more year, and then 329 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: they I think they and then they gave him the 330 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: long term deal. Right, So sometimes you got to take 331 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: a look see. I think the look see would be 332 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: worth seventeen million for for Lawrence know what it is 333 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: if we're getting ahead of ourselves, that's what I know. 334 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: That's offseason talk. That was I didn't know. I think 335 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: it goes into play because if this does continue and 336 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: he's acting like this, you're gonna have to look at 337 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: different things. I mean, BROB just told you they spent 338 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: a high draft pick on a defensive end this season. 339 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: Who of course, we've talked at length about that. Hey, 340 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: you can't expect him to go out there and be 341 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence right away. He's got a little bit of 342 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: developing to do, so there's a lot at play. I 343 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: don't think that it's unfair to talk about because, hey, 344 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: maybe DeMarcus Lawrence slows down, maybe he continues at this pace. 345 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: We'll have to see. I hope you guys are more 346 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: right about him than me. Yeah, because I was. I 347 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: was kind of I was kind of had to foot 348 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 1: in the parking lot on at twelve sacks, and I 349 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 1: think everybody else took a little bit more aggressive approach. Well, 350 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 1: I think it would be good and there's nothing wrong 351 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: with that. I mean, it was your poll. Yeah, from 352 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: what from what you guys have seen, I don't blame 353 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: you well, I don't blame everybody for stepping up and saying, Noah, Brian, hey, 354 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: no fifteen sacks, sixteen sacks? Am I wrong for assuming 355 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 1: he's gonna get double digits? I don't really might be 356 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 1: in next game. I shouldn't be able to fall into 357 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: three and a half. That's that's why I started with twelve. 358 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: But I mean at twenty three.

Thank you, Rob, You got it all right. Well, 432 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: we got into it a little bit earlier in the show. 433 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,719 Speaker 1: Shaan Lee dealing with a little bit of a hamstring tweak. 434 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: Not exactly sure what he'll be able to do this week. 435 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: Coach Garrett said, we'll see, yeah, and of course they 436 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: won't really get to the practice field until tomorrow. But 437 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: with that, I was just curious, and we'll get into 438 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: more of the Rams talk, but let's just kind of 439 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: cover this first. Will this defense be able to handle 440 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: the Rams with Shaun Lee maybe dealing with a hamstring, 441 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 1: possibly not even playing, It's a great question. Jared Goff 442 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: kind of on a roll right now. Todd Gurley saying 443 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: they're going to whoop up on the Cowboys was kind 444 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: of It was a joke to Michael Irvin. Yeah, I'm 445 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: not trying to twist words. You were trying to start something. 446 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: Cowboys in the Rams say this, I don't think so. 447 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: He was joking with Michael Irvin on Thursday Night Football 448 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: after he had a solid performance. He did, and he's 449 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: an elite running back and this is an offense that 450 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody expected be this good. This efficient 451 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: this early in the season. Absolutely, though, you know, if 452 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: you you're talking about your leading, your defensive captain not 453 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: being there, potentially that would be a concern, I would 454 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: think for sure. I man, I I would hate to 455 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: imagine this defense having to play without Sean Lee in 456 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: any game, but especially this game, because if we all 457 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: you have to do is think about what the what 458 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: the what the Redskins used to do to the Cowboy 459 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: at least at least with Sean McVay as the offensive coronea. 460 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: I think Jay Gruden called the plays. But you talk 461 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: about the creativity that the Rams or at the Redskins 462 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: hat and the way they were able to move the 463 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: ball against the Cowboys. And they've got weapons. I mean, 464 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: we'll get into this. I mean they got a quarterback 465 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: that is playing. Yeah, he's finding some he's finding some 466 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: finding himself a little bit. They're running the ball with girly. 467 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: Their offensive line is a much better unit. Uh yeah. 468 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: I And I think mcvay's creativity hurts hurts defenses. And 469 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: without Sean Lee. Nothing against the other linebackers Jalen Smith 470 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: and what they've done, but Seawan Lee's instinctive ability to 471 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: make plays can get you off the field. And I 472 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: worry about that because I could say we've we've seen 473 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: what McVey was able to do with the Redskins. They 474 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: put up a ton of yards, you know, against the 475 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: Cowboys the last couple of years, and watching the tape, 476 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: it's very similar. It's just guys in blue and white uniforms. Now, 477 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: this is one instance where next man up doesn't doesn't apply, 478 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: doesn't apply. It's well said. That is well said. Forget 479 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: about it, can't really And what you want is for 480 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 1: Sean Lee to have his helmet on speaking to Jalen 481 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: Smith the entire play. That would work a little earbut 482 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: thing Dungee. Is it a Tony Dungee commercial where he's 483 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: talking to the guy on the date they both got 484 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: helmets on. Yeah, that's what they would need. They would 485 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: miss that dearly. That is that's well said. Because you think, 486 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,479 Speaker 1: you say, you think about the Redskins and the Rams 487 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: are on a roll. They really are offensively on a roll. 488 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 1: And you I would never have believed going into the 489 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 1: season it was always going to be about Wade Phillips 490 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: and this defense. Look at this defense, Look at the 491 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 1: there are three four defense. The defense has been a 492 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,719 Speaker 1: little bit. You know, there's been some struggles there for 493 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: them for them, Yeah, but the offense is the one 494 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: that's kind of elevated their game. I mean, what's wrong 495 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: with this picture. The Cowboys have the nineteenth ranked offense, 496 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: the Rams have the seventh ranked offense, The Rams have 497 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 1: the twenty second ranked defense, and the Cowboys have the 498 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: tenth ranked defense. There you go a little different than 499 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: people would have expected. Now, they also got to play 500 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: the Colts and the forty nine Ers. The Colts, we've 501 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: all realized teams that are struggling maybe the worst roster 502 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: in football, I'll say that, Yeah, especially when you don't 503 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 1: have a quarterback or your center and yeah, yeah, but yeah, 504 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: it's bad when you when you look at and they did. 505 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: They mauled them. There's no doubt they mauled them. I 506 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: thought the games against the red Skins though in the 507 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 1: forty nine the forty nine Ers were able to get 508 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: some traction though, and you know, I mean they scored 509 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: thirty nine. Yeah, it was it was a back and forth. 510 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 1: I you know, with Sean Lee out of the lineup, 511 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: maybe it's gonna have to pee where you have to 512 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 1: play that way? Yeah, and your fast track Hitchens. Well, 513 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: that's what I was just going to get into. I 514 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: don't know if he's ready for getting ready. It is 515 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: a short week. Granted short week doesn't necessarily apply to 516 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 1: him since he's been resting and recovering. Oh but he 517 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: hadn't practiced it, That's what I'm saying. Well as far 518 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: as his rest or anything like that. Yeah, well maybe 519 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,239 Speaker 1: next week for him. And I think that you were 520 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: thinking green Bay. Yeah maybe green Bay? Yea by and 521 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: you're ready for San Francisco. Yeah, he's a tough guy, 522 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 1: but no, Sean Lee and this and this one would 523 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: be a boy that would be tough, that that would 524 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: be tough. We're not saying this will happen for anyone, right, 525 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: but you're talking about the situation. We do talk about 526 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 1: situations on the show. We absolutely sure. Well, you know, 527 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: Mickey just Grave gave a great stat The offense is 528 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: off to a slow start, and a lot of people 529 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 1: are wondering why is that. Why have these games been 530 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult for them? We saw in 531 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: the first quarter this Monday night just seemed like they 532 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: couldn't get it going. Where's the slow start coming from? 533 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: Some of it I think you have to give credit 534 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: to the and what Denver was able to do and 535 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: what Arizona was able to do early is just keep 536 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: him off the field. And I asked Jason yesterday, can 537 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: you recall a time where you had that much disparity 538 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,199 Speaker 1: in plays where you ran three offensive plays in the 539 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: first quarter and you're staring near halftime and you got six. 540 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: And the key, especially with a young offense you got 541 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: a young quarterback, young running back, is not to press 542 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 1: and not get frustrated. And I think maybe Zeke got 543 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: a little frustrated in the Denver game, and they did 544 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: a better job of just kind of staying with it, 545 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 1: and eventually it took over in terms of wearing down 546 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 1: the defense and getting a rhythm in the running game. 547 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: But it took some time, no question about it. Well, 548 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 1: the problem is you had a three and out and 549 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: the defense couldn't get off the field. Yeah, so that 550 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: complicated a slow start. You know, you run the ball 551 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: for basically nothing, you throw an in completion, and then 552 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 1: you throw I mean, it was the exact same start 553 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: they had at Denver, wasn't it. Yes, Yeah, it was. 554 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: It was deja vu, and it was the third down 555 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: pass to Winton. That wasn't a first down, right, and 556 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: then you punt and it's like then you're gonna get 557 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 1: the ball back forever. And then the next time you 558 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: have the same thing three and out. You can't have 559 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 1: three and outs like that early and think, oh, Okay, 560 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: everything's gonna come around. Well, if your defense can't get 561 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: off the field, you're in trouble. They had six plays, 562 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: they had four yards. Yeah, I think a lot of 563 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: it has to do and maybe take a little bit 564 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: deeper than what Mickey is talking about is first downs. 565 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: You know, this team has not done a good, very 566 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: good job. I mean how many times in that game 567 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: either night where it was second and nine, second and ten, 568 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: you know, and they just really couldn't get anything going. 569 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: And it wasn't from a lack of trying it really. 570 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: I mean, they're trying to do things scheme wise to 571 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: get some get it going a little bit, but they 572 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: just haven't been able to have those plays. The second half, 573 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: they finally started making some plays in the passing game, 574 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: and then it always and it opened up some things 575 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: in the running game. All of a sudden, Arizona was 576 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: having to deal with, Okay, dealing with Williams. They dealt 577 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: with the Dez Bryant, They're having to deal with Butler 578 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: down the field. You know, they're having to deal with 579 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: a little bit more of that. And then now, okay, 580 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: here things go with the running game. When they have 581 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: the balance, like the guys are talking about, it's it's 582 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: it's a it's a pretty thing to watch because they 583 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: can control ten play drives, five minute drives. They do 584 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: that and that helps that defense. But the slow start, 585 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: I think has a lot to do with how their 586 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: inability to really get anything going on first down? Would 587 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: you guys have believed me if I would have told you, hey, 588 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: Ezekie Elliott won't get his first rushing touchdown until Week three, 589 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: If I had told you that going into that, you 590 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,239 Speaker 1: know when last year against the Giants in Week one, 591 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: he scored his first one, first one as an NFL player, 592 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: And now you know we even the first rushing touchdown 593 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: came from Dak Prescott of course, followed up by Ezekie 594 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: Elliott later in the game. But I would I was surprised. 595 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: I would. I would have said, was the eligible to 596 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: play service already got suspended? Yeah? What was going on there? 597 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: So it's just funny to you know, we're talking about 598 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: these long first and nine first and that wasn't there 599 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: last year, And simply a lot of it was because 600 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: you'd have a big run or a big boost on 601 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: that first or second play. Yeah, that you were like, 602 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: I've always kind of talked about this, and I love 603 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: to dive into numbers. Not that I'm an analytics guy, 604 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: but I love to dive into numbers when it comes 605 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: to talking about what you do on down and distance, 606 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: what you do on first down, does that set you 607 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: up for second down? You know, the Cowboys one of 608 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: the best in the league last year, but converting taking 609 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,239 Speaker 1: second down opportunities and making them first down, so then 610 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: you don't get into a lot of third and bad situations. 611 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: You're moving, you're moving the ball and you and you're 612 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,719 Speaker 1: finishing drives. There was a stat on ESPN, and it 613 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: grew as the game went on. I think by the 614 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: end of the game they were they were in a 615 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: position where it was the last third and ten or 616 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: longer the last twelve of those they were over twelve 617 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: and dating back to previous game or two, So just 618 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: way too many times Dack's in a situation where what 619 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: do you call, would you call it third down to 620 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: get him in a position to get a first down 621 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: and move the chains? And it just a lot of 622 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: that is, yeah, struggling on first and second. Now yeah, 623 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: well what we call is fans, and we have fans 624 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: calling in right now number two and four, eight seven, 625 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: two twenty one or two. We have Nolan from California 626 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: on the line. Nolan, what's your question? Hey, what's up, guys? 627 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call. I know they've been dropping 628 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: Xavier Woods down in the slot. Yeah, now what do 629 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: you guys think about bringing Byron Jones up to the 630 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: slot and letting Woods and Heath take the backfield? And 631 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: then I had another, you know question. I know Jason 632 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: Witton didn't get many catches last game, and I know 633 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: the first two games he was on fire. Was he 634 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: just not open or do you think they were kind of, 635 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: you know, trying to tone him down a little bit 636 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: just because he is in his fifteenth year and you know, 637 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: he can't be our number one guy the whole season. 638 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: So thanks for taking my call, and you guys do 639 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: a great job. Appreciate it. Thanks Nolan. I think I 640 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: would ask you to be the one to ever tell 641 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: Jason Winton to tone down a little bit. So I 642 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: don't think even when he's in his twenty fifth year, 643 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: if that ever would be possible that he would tone down. 644 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: I think he was just the play calling were just 645 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: talking about. They didn't run a lot of offensive place. 646 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: You know, forty five plays basically is what it came 647 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: down to. And the distribution, you know, when they were 648 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: having to throw the football, there were times where Witten, 649 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: you know, he was not as open as he normally is. 650 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: You know, I mean he tried to escape a couple 651 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: of different ways and sometimes you know, you cover him 652 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: that way, you get a matchup that's pretty favorable for 653 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: the other team. And you know, Witt was, like I say, 654 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: when you don't run a lot of players, Baldwin come 655 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: your direction. They hit on some, obviously, some big plays 656 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: down the field with Bryce Butler, with Williams, you know, 657 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: with Dez on the on the shallow cross, Cole Beasley 658 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: his one play was huge, and yeah, you're not gonna 659 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: have many games where Jason Witten is catching one for 660 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: four yards or three yards. So you know, we'll see 661 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: how it plays this time around. With the Rams, They've 662 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: got a couple of good safeties that can that can 663 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: do some things and coverage. But you know the thing 664 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,959 Speaker 1: his question about Iron Jeff, but about Woods. Yeah, that's 665 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: that's the way when they were playing the dime when 666 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: they played I'm package though and Heath was out though, 667 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: they were playing with Woods and playing uh you know what, 668 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: excuse me when when he was in the game, they 669 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: had they had Woods and Heath playing as the safeties 670 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: and they put Byron Jones down in the slot. Mickey 671 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: talks about that quite a bit there there. The Cowboys 672 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: answer in dime packages to bring Byron Jones down was 673 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: that the last pass breakup in the end zone, was 674 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: he covering the tight end? He was covering tight end? Yeah, 675 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: they had they had they added across, so yeah, he 676 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: when they went to that, when they went to that 677 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: that they called Deacon which is like that three man line, 678 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: they they used Jones down and that Woods was playing 679 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: back Woods. They feel like Woods is a better cover 680 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,959 Speaker 1: man than Cavon Frasier. That's why I think you're going 681 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: to see more of that. And then when when Heath 682 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: went down to get to their package, it was Frasier 683 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: and Woods with Byron Jones down, So they were rolling 684 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: those safeties through last week. But the main plan is 685 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: to keep Jones down and let him play in the slot, 686 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: whether it's on the tight end or as on a receiver. 687 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: Think he's doing some research over here, No, I was 688 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: just looking. You know, the Cowboys last two years, last 689 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,839 Speaker 1: couple of years were very good on third down. Yes, 690 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: they're twenty third this year. They're converting at thirty four 691 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: point whatever. Right, A lot of that has to do 692 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: with what was going on on first down. Yep, they're 693 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: getting into Wait, if you don't do something on first down, 694 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 1: third down becomes much more difficult. And that is just 695 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: so out of character that their third down conversion rate 696 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: is twenty third in the National Football League. They're doing, 697 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: they're getting. What's happening to them is what normally they 698 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: put pressure on other teams in terms of we're gonna 699 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: limit your plays offensively, we're gonna hold on the ball. 700 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,919 Speaker 1: They're not getting. Dak had thirteen completions in the game 701 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: eighteen attempts. That. I mean, everybody's numbers were down, and 702 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: I do think they're mentioned Witten. They're they're keying on 703 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley a little bit too, because he's he's a 704 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: guy that is kind of Dak's safety blanket at times. 705 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 1: Has this come down to the offensive line play? We've 706 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,959 Speaker 1: talked a lot about the offensive line missing those big 707 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: blocks unfortunately, you know, not having enough open lanes for 708 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: Zeke or getting some of that open space for Dak, 709 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 1: And Mickey was saying that, yeah, well, and we talked 710 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,399 Speaker 1: about the offensive line going into this year. Obviously, now 711 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 1: Chaz Green and Lyle Collins are there, they're in place, 712 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: but is there still some little bit of cadence issues 713 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 1: or what is it? I just want to know from 714 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,839 Speaker 1: you guys, is there something to put the blame on 715 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: the offensive line or have they been good as usual? No, 716 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: they have not been as good as you know that 717 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: that part and go ahead, mick him. I mean that's 718 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:45,360 Speaker 1: just flat out. You see signs I think from Lale 719 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 1: Collins at right tackle. You see signs from Jazz Green, 720 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: but it hasn't been consistent enough. And I think that 721 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You have three Pro Bowl guys there, you know, 722 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: it'd be like the Cowboy cheerleaders going out there do 723 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 1: their kick line, you know, and if two or three 724 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 1: of them are off, they're gonna pull everybody else down, right, Oh, 725 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: I don't care if you have thirty out there. Look 726 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: an analogy about that. I like it. What happens when 727 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 1: you judge those? Yeah, how about six hours of work? 728 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 1: You and I did that one Saturday for thirty seconds 729 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: of work, thirty seconds of fame. Mickey's right though, and 730 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,320 Speaker 1: it goes to Rob's point. We were talking about the 731 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: ten play drives something I always like to look at, 732 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: you know, that's ball control stuff. I didn't have one 733 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 1: in this last game. They're they're twenty fifth in the league, 734 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: and they've only had three of ten play drives this 735 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 1: season so far place of ten yards. How many times 736 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: we thought about that, their ability to run the football, 737 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: make pig plays, you know, and that kind of stuff, 738 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 1: plays of ten yards or more. They're twenty fifth in 739 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 1: the league, they've only had thirty one of those, so, 740 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: I mean they've they've had some things that they were 741 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: really really good at. Rushing plays. How about this rushing 742 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 1: plays of ten plus yards? That was something was kind 743 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: of a staple of their offense. Lash or twenty first 744 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: in the league right now, So you know, you're you're 745 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:03,319 Speaker 1: getting some situation where they're they're they're they're doing some 746 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: things and it could be you know, you look at 747 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,399 Speaker 1: the offensive line, but I think we've been pretty fair 748 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 1: about at the line, the tight ends. You know, there's 749 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 1: there's been some guys that where I think some things 750 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: have happened is last year, we just grew so accustomed 751 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: to watching Zeke makes somebody miss right off the jump, 752 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 1: if it's one of okay, they have one more guy 753 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: than you have to block, and we've seen Ezekiel Elliott 754 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: win that win against that one guy and then it's 755 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: a six yard game. You know, we've seen that. That 756 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: was last year. I don't think we've seen it as 757 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: much this year. You know, when if there was a 758 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,399 Speaker 1: breakdown last year, we've saw where all said, oh, Zeke 759 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: can make that guy miss and then okay, it's still 760 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 1: a four yard game. That's where I think some of 761 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: the some of the issues we haven't seen him have 762 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: that ability to make. You know, he made Tyrn Matthew 763 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,800 Speaker 1: miss the other day, and what happened. It was a 764 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: thirty yard game because every yeah it could have been 765 00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 1: more because but everything was blocked. Everything was blocked, everything, 766 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 1: every guy they had accounted for. They got their guy, 767 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: They got hats on hats. But then all of a sudden, 768 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: what do you do? He made a guy missing the 769 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 1: whole and now it's a it's a huge play. So 770 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 1: once we start seeing Zeke make guys miss that aren't 771 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 1: accounted for, or there's some type of leakage or a 772 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: miss block, you know you're you're probably gonna probably gonna 773 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,800 Speaker 1: be a little bit problematic moving the football. There's no question. 774 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 1: We keep saying it. The runner matters. I mean, what 775 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: he did last year, it's essentially the same offensive line 776 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: as twenty fifteen, but the number of explosive plays running 777 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,840 Speaker 1: the ball and the number of touchdowns they had running 778 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: the ball were enormously greater than twenty fifteen. So yeah, 779 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 1: I mean, he gets as much credit as anybody for 780 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: a running game because he does make guys miss more 781 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 1: than others. They had one drive against Arizona for seven plays. 782 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 1: That was the longest, Yeah, seven plays, and they didn't 783 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 1: even score on that, And so they're not sustaining drives 784 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 1: because they're not converting on third down. Absolutely. Well, let's 785 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,359 Speaker 1: convert to our thirds segment here on Talking Cowboys.

How do 830 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,359 Speaker 1: you manage that? How do you get more production from 831 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: that side? I mean, Brian just told you this Ram's 832 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 1: offensive line is a better unit than that scene. So 833 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,359 Speaker 1: you're gonna need to have full production on both sides. Yeah, 834 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:37,759 Speaker 1: you got a spot. You got anybody want to play 835 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 1: with the right side of you? Okay? With laur Marcus 836 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,320 Speaker 1: ware Ware, Well yeah, we'll just call Dware out of 837 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 1: retirement really quickly. I will say what you got. Having 838 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 1: Crawford in the game helps your run defense. I like 839 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: that on the right side, you think typically a guy 840 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,840 Speaker 1: who's going forward, Daddy, you're back war daddy. He did 841 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 1: get a sack, yeah he did. And as a pressure 842 00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 1: I will say setting the edge the rushing defense. You know, 843 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 1: the Arizona struggle, but two point three yards of carry, 844 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 1: they did a nice job that way. Do you need 845 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: another pass rusher, consistent guy out there? Yeah? I thought 846 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 1: Crawford did some good things though, and the Deacon package, 847 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,439 Speaker 1: that three man line. You're a big fan. It's it's 848 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 1: working for them, and you did a nice job of 849 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: explaining it yesterday. It's create some coverage problems. It does 850 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 1: for the other teams all. The other thing it creates 851 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,320 Speaker 1: problems is you got the two linebackers that are in 852 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,800 Speaker 1: the gaps waiting and they're sitting there going okay, is 853 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,360 Speaker 1: this guy coming or is it exactly exactly? So it 854 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 1: gives the quarterback a little extra pause something think about, 855 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 1: little more time because it may be a three man line, 856 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,319 Speaker 1: but it could be a five man rush. Right. Yeah. 857 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: Before we get to Rob's amazing pool, we gotta get 858 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:46,720 Speaker 1: to our dear friend, friend of the show, Philip from Fronts.

Yeah, 882 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 1: Jared Goof is going to be a drop from now on. 883 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 1: I love that. Don't don't start trouble. The Rams will 884 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 1: think we're making no, no, not at all. It's here 885 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 1: to bust all rumors. I love the accent myself I 886 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,480 Speaker 1: love it. Make sure I'm gonna go to lamon one day. 887 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,800 Speaker 1: He uses his voice for it, you know what I 888 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,920 Speaker 1: I the jelling part though of the line. We kind 889 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 1: of touched on that. Yeah, we got a little more 890 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,640 Speaker 1: into that. Let's get more into what are you saying 891 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 1: about Jalen Smith. Yeah, well on the coach's tape, he's 892 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,719 Speaker 1: got thirty tackles in three games. Who yeah, see that's 893 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:06,800 Speaker 1: that's good. Yeah to me, that's that And it's incredible 894 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 1: the number John Matchoda did a thing of the number 895 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,880 Speaker 1: of plays that guys have played so far through the 896 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,799 Speaker 1: first three games. I believe he's in the top five 897 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 1: with defensive snaps. You know. That's incredible within itself. Yeah, 898 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 1: but you know we talk about this though too. No, no, 899 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,879 Speaker 1: Sean Lee. This it's gonna say more if we're just saying, 900 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:28,879 Speaker 1: if we're just it's you, we're just putting it out 901 00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 1: there that hey, you know, keep an eye on this. 902 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:33,600 Speaker 1: But no, Sean Lee, then it's gonna have to be 903 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,279 Speaker 1: about Jalen Smith, you know, and and Todd Gurley is 904 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a difficult matchup, you know, because they 905 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 1: throw girly the ball in the flat. They bring. You know, 906 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,359 Speaker 1: we've seen what they can do. McVeagh with his play 907 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,640 Speaker 1: calling him he can move the football. So uh, it's 908 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 1: gonna be on Jalen Smith and it's gonna be on him, 909 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 1: you know, having to cover. And that's a concern of 910 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,080 Speaker 1: Mickey and minds. I you know, that's something you got 911 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 1: a guy like Girly running in the flat all the 912 00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,320 Speaker 1: time or circle routes or Texas routes, got to be 913 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,960 Speaker 1: able to cover him. He played fifty four plays out 914 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 1: of seventy five this last game, and Durant was actually 915 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 1: in there for thirty two plays, so played more. All right, 916 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,440 Speaker 1: poll Time take full Time. Talked about the rookies earlier, 917 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,799 Speaker 1: a couple of rookies in particular dbs. Which rookie guys 918 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,879 Speaker 1: has impressed you the most in the first three games 919 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 1: for Dallas? Four options. I know there's more he could 920 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:30,760 Speaker 1: write in Noah Brown, Taco Charlton, Jordan Lewis, Ryan Switzer 921 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,840 Speaker 1: or Xavier Woods. Oh, I'm gonna say that the fans 922 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:41,480 Speaker 1: said Jordan Lewis, They sure did seventy six percent and 923 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 1: he's played what one fewer game than the other guys, 924 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,040 Speaker 1: But yeah, he was out there. But he's had production. 925 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 1: I mean, is he the only current interception right now? 926 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,759 Speaker 1: Where No, I guess Anthony Brown. Brown Brown had one 927 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 1: tackled really well in the game. Was physical. You can 928 00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:57,960 Speaker 1: put Xavier Woods right up there though, in terms of 929 00:46:58,040 --> 00:46:59,840 Speaker 1: what he's being asked to do for a guy that 930 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 1: missed a lot of camp playing the slot. Yeah, you 931 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,520 Speaker 1: haven't heard his name called a lot, have you, So 932 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,920 Speaker 1: that means he's not screwing up. No, I don't know 933 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 1: if he's made any nice highlight plays right, Um, I'll 934 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,319 Speaker 1: tell you. I'll give you high tell you, I'll give 935 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,759 Speaker 1: you a highlight play made. How about how about with 936 00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 1: the with the Arizona driving to try and score a 937 00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,279 Speaker 1: touchdown at the end of the game, and they both 938 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,440 Speaker 1: they throw the ball to the Lara Fitzgerald in the flat. Oh, 939 00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,279 Speaker 1: and he was so mad at himself because he could 940 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,279 Speaker 1: have picked that off a little bit, get a little 941 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,480 Speaker 1: bit better angle. Yeah, that was bunch formation. He came 942 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,560 Speaker 1: flying through there and kept Fitzgerald in bounce, which kept 943 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,000 Speaker 1: the clop going. So that was a nice play in 944 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 1: that though, from what you've seen so far. Who gives 945 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:46,919 Speaker 1: you kind of the most excitement Switzer? Yeah, I was God, 946 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 1: you know, I've voted for I'd voted for Switzer because 947 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,200 Speaker 1: I've been waiting for this team to get a punt 948 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 1: returner and a little juice back there and a guy, 949 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 1: you know, guy's fearless. Way. Yeah, that one punt he 950 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,440 Speaker 1: caught running up full speed. Let me see what he 951 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,960 Speaker 1: with eleven guys running straight at you, you know, with 952 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,560 Speaker 1: an offense, with an offense struggling a little bit, and 953 00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:09,759 Speaker 1: he's given you, you know, he could give you feel open. 954 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,000 Speaker 1: They're gonna they're gonna start not punting it at him. 955 00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,760 Speaker 1: Well he was. He should be credited with the first touchdown, 956 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:19,399 Speaker 1: right he set him up at the thirty three? I think, yes, yes, see, 957 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,560 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. He asked Garrett this question yesterday 958 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,320 Speaker 1: and I wrote about it because I wasn't sure. But 959 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 1: they his best punt return was with ten men on 960 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 1: the field, you know, he they set up the wall 961 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,160 Speaker 1: and Jeff Heath went off the field and thinking he 962 00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,080 Speaker 1: was the twelfth man for some reason, not at A 963 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:39,160 Speaker 1: and M. Yeah, and they had ten guys. So that 964 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:44,239 Speaker 1: just shows you with with or yeah, yeah, they stole it, 965 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:48,399 Speaker 1: but but the twelve that the excitement you get from 966 00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,240 Speaker 1: him with the ball in hand, I think is pretty impressive. 967 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 1: I might have to give him number twelve instead of ten. 968 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 1: The twelfth Man. Yeah. Hey, I like what he said 969 00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,840 Speaker 1: though about juice, because I think Ryan Switzer's kind of 970 00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,320 Speaker 1: that guy. He's almost confidence guy. You know, you notice 971 00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,120 Speaker 1: that if he feels like he has it, like in 972 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:07,640 Speaker 1: warm ups, if you watched him in pregame warmups, he's hyped. 973 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 1: He's one of the most guys out there next to 974 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,200 Speaker 1: Dez Bryant. He's just excited to go in there. And 975 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,719 Speaker 1: then I feel like, Okay, he's probably watching this tape 976 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,640 Speaker 1: this week saying, Okay, I could do this more, I 977 00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,080 Speaker 1: can do this more. Yeah, and the Rams are wasting 978 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 1: time on this week having to prepare for him, no doubt, 979 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,480 Speaker 1: because they don't know if he lines up in the slot. 980 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,839 Speaker 1: Oh is he a receiver? Is he going to come back? 981 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,560 Speaker 1: And they're not empty anymore. He's a running back in 982 00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: their throat to him. Cowboys are doing the same thing 983 00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:39,160 Speaker 1: with Tavon Austin, right right, Yeah, you mentioned confidence stay 984 00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:42,200 Speaker 1: it is. It's not a cockiness. Coaches love it about him. 985 00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 1: But he prepares. He's you know, he's trying to learn 986 00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,360 Speaker 1: but yeah, he's not afraid to get in there. And 987 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,440 Speaker 1: we haven't really seen him as a route runner yet, 988 00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,800 Speaker 1: but he's a polished route runner too. Oh hell. I 989 00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,560 Speaker 1: mean when he got drafted, Beasley was talking about how 990 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,840 Speaker 1: excited he was to finally see slot receivers like his position. 991 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,200 Speaker 1: Getting draft did that high. I mean, fourth round is 992 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,360 Speaker 1: right for a guy like that. But what happened is 993 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,600 Speaker 1: he didn't. He was almost in the same boat as 994 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,840 Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis. Didn't get any training camp. Remember the OTAs 995 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,680 Speaker 1: in the mini camp, so we were yeah, he got 996 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:14,719 Speaker 1: all that over when we were all real tired and 997 00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,200 Speaker 1: ready to go home at three o'clock, we we talked 998 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,200 Speaker 1: about him a little bit. But now and then the 999 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,520 Speaker 1: training camp, you were ready for him to do some things. 1000 00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,879 Speaker 1: I still think that when you talk about the where 1001 00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:26,960 Speaker 1: what they can do with him, I think they're gonna 1002 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,120 Speaker 1: come up with even more creative stuff. I think that 1003 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:33,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna see that Scotland hand take advantage of him. 1004 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,719 Speaker 1: Just not on jet sweeps or things like that, but 1005 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,839 Speaker 1: you're gonna see screens. We're gonna see tossing the ball 1006 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:40,719 Speaker 1: to him, handing the ball to him, whatever they have 1007 00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:42,640 Speaker 1: to do. To get the football in his hands. Heck, 1008 00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,239 Speaker 1: who knows he maybe touched a sweep throw it. You know, 1009 00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:47,400 Speaker 1: those are the kinds of things you kind of set up. 1010 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,600 Speaker 1: He's a different kind of runner than Beasley running back. Like, yeah, 1011 00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 1: Beasley's quick, get down fast, and then he knows when 1012 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,160 Speaker 1: it's over. This guy can like fake people out. He's 1013 00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 1: got like moves when he rets with the ball out joking, 1014 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:07,960 Speaker 1: you guys know what. He calls him the mirror because 1015 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,400 Speaker 1: he watches everyone and he is so good reading the place. 1016 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,240 Speaker 1: It's very interesting. If you guys talked to Taco anytime 1017 00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,880 Speaker 1: soon to ask him about why they call Yeah, it 1018 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,880 Speaker 1: was all a Michigan and you know, kind of interesting. 1019 00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,480 Speaker 1: Of course, Mark quiz White was the quilt. I thought 1020 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,919 Speaker 1: that was an interesting thing. But the mirror, the mirror 1021 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,400 Speaker 1: is showing up because he's there. And I like what 1022 00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,480 Speaker 1: you said about how physical he was. I thought that 1023 00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,880 Speaker 1: was one of his best traits because he's a smaller 1024 00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:36,920 Speaker 1: guy for a small Yeah, and that's what a lot 1025 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,439 Speaker 1: of people were worried they were gonna miss with JJ 1026 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,560 Speaker 1: Wilcox out. You know, somebody who was so physical, so 1027 00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:44,920 Speaker 1: able to just kind of beat the ball. I mean, 1028 00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,240 Speaker 1: we saw Brandon Carr get more physical like that last season, 1029 00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,279 Speaker 1: so I like and I think that will develop with 1030 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,600 Speaker 1: Jordanist too. I mean, he's gonna get in this way. 1031 00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,239 Speaker 1: Don Sanders talks to him and says, man, you're knocking 1032 00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,520 Speaker 1: balls of business. Gotta gotta you're knocking balls down, man, 1033 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,000 Speaker 1: that's all they pay you for it. Don't worry about 1034 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,360 Speaker 1: that tackling stuff. Yeah, he won't let him do that. 1035 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:09,920 Speaker 1: A little um vinegar in his veins, yeah, little anger 1036 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,760 Speaker 1: not another term, but we'll keep it clean. All corners 1037 00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,440 Speaker 1: need that, right, That's right in a short memory. That 1038 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 1: So Cole Beasley, how does he get back on track 1039 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:21,399 Speaker 1: to kind of being das guy, daks guy that's gonna 1040 00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,719 Speaker 1: get sixty seventy receptions in a season. How does Cole 1041 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:28,279 Speaker 1: Beasley get back on track? Is he off track? I 1042 00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,560 Speaker 1: feel like we haven't seen the Cole Beasley we saw 1043 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,640 Speaker 1: last season, and maybe it's just different place, games, different 1044 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 1: play calls, offensive line. You said, you know they're looking 1045 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,719 Speaker 1: after him way more than I ever have before. Is 1046 00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:41,640 Speaker 1: he getting bracketed more as he get seen? Yeah, there 1047 00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 1: were a couple of times where he was they did 1048 00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:45,799 Speaker 1: cover him with two especially on third down. I think 1049 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,520 Speaker 1: teams realized that what he could be a special player 1050 00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,520 Speaker 1: on third down. So yeah, he's going to always get 1051 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,760 Speaker 1: a little bit more attension. You know. Heck, slot player, 1052 00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,880 Speaker 1: slot player, a cover guy playing outside and you've got 1053 00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,120 Speaker 1: a safety playing inside and they're trying to you know, 1054 00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,719 Speaker 1: keep him from running those routes and then even you know, 1055 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:05,839 Speaker 1: doing the pivot routes we talk about where he goes 1056 00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:11,160 Speaker 1: inside and comes back outside. So yeah, they this offense again, 1057 00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,680 Speaker 1: there's so many little pieces to it. We talk about 1058 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,000 Speaker 1: them running the football and how successful they can be 1059 00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,680 Speaker 1: at that and how let's the offense go. But getting 1060 00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,680 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley involved, he's just that such a sure player 1061 00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,160 Speaker 1: on third down, you know, and if if teams are 1062 00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,239 Speaker 1: taking that away from you, you know, some of the 1063 00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:27,960 Speaker 1: other guys are going to have to make plays. Like 1064 00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:29,960 Speaker 1: we said, Williams is going to have to make plays, 1065 00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,040 Speaker 1: Butler made a play. I mean they're gonna have to 1066 00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,040 Speaker 1: do that if if teams are going to be committed 1067 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:35,920 Speaker 1: to stop in the run but then also trying to 1068 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,080 Speaker 1: take Cole Beasley went on third down, so he knows it. 1069 00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:41,120 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that comes with it. As they say 1070 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,120 Speaker 1: that comes with the comes with the dinner. You know, 1071 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,200 Speaker 1: he's he's not gonna probably have a lot of free 1072 00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:48,480 Speaker 1: access in these routes, but he likes that. I think 1073 00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,879 Speaker 1: he likes the challenge of it. Yeah, but he would 1074 00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:57,279 Speaker 1: rather the linebacker not be lurking around that yeah corner, Yeah, yeah, 1075 00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,560 Speaker 1: safe when you get into third and long, they can 1076 00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,440 Speaker 1: do that. I know you're not going to run the 1077 00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:05,279 Speaker 1: ball right, So that's that's hurt him also from what 1078 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,759 Speaker 1: he can do if it's third and three. You know, 1079 00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,319 Speaker 1: the linebacker can't worry about Beasley. You know, he's got 1080 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,200 Speaker 1: to worry about handing the ball. Zeke well, some of 1081 00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,560 Speaker 1: the other the other guys stepping up helps William stepping up, Butler, 1082 00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:17,640 Speaker 1: you know, Witt and we talked about all that. They 1083 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,280 Speaker 1: got more guys that could step up, start making plays 1084 00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,160 Speaker 1: down the fields, start making me started out, Hey, before 1085 00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:24,920 Speaker 1: we start wrapping up this show, I want to talk 1086 00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,520 Speaker 1: to you guys. Earlier in the pregame show on Monday Night, 1087 00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 1: a lot of confusion from fans of why Charles Tapper 1088 00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,799 Speaker 1: was the guy. Of course, you had to figure out 1089 00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:34,560 Speaker 1: what you were going to do. You had to have 1090 00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:38,360 Speaker 1: the enough corners, different guys like that out Orlando scannerk 1091 00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,280 Speaker 1: moving up. Who was going to be the guy who's 1092 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,800 Speaker 1: going to be inactive? And it was Charles Tapper? Do 1093 00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,359 Speaker 1: you think now, I mean you just did your pull 1094 00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,440 Speaker 1: and we talked about Taco Charlton not being there yet. 1095 00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:52,160 Speaker 1: Are they going to rotate Taco and Charles Tapper to 1096 00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,759 Speaker 1: be this inactive guy? Could you see that happening at all? 1097 00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:57,400 Speaker 1: I think it could definitely be a week to week thing. 1098 00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:01,480 Speaker 1: Who's practicing best, you know, and actually with Irving coming back, 1099 00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,160 Speaker 1: guys are gonna have to compete in practice to earn 1100 00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:08,400 Speaker 1: that spot on game day. I absolutely think, Uh, nobody's 1101 00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,879 Speaker 1: guaranteed a spot. As you move farther and farther down 1102 00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:15,800 Speaker 1: that that that rotation. Do you worry about rotating? I 1103 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,040 Speaker 1: mean off and on the you know for a guy, 1104 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:21,160 Speaker 1: do you worry about that? Or is that something you're 1105 00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,840 Speaker 1: just gonna go ahead and accept because I'm kind of 1106 00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:27,000 Speaker 1: split on that. I don't know how they'll treat it, 1107 00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:30,360 Speaker 1: but I'll tell you the history of the NFL. One's 1108 00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,920 Speaker 1: a first round pick and one's a fourth round pick. 1109 00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,040 Speaker 1: Right follow the money, Yeah, they're gonna give him every 1110 00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:40,480 Speaker 1: sounds very sounds very very shady. Follow the money, considering 1111 00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,200 Speaker 1: we're watching coaches and athletic directors get fired right now. 1112 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,799 Speaker 1: All they followed the money, all the money. But yeah, 1113 00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,000 Speaker 1: so I gonna if they air, they're gonna air on 1114 00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,440 Speaker 1: keeping that first round guy on the field to try 1115 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 1: to get him some more experience. I think, Yeah, don't 1116 00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,480 Speaker 1: you feel like with marion Elli, like if if you're 1117 00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,920 Speaker 1: playing better, he's gonna play you. Yeah. Well, I think 1118 00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:01,839 Speaker 1: even now if you kick David Irvan, and I think 1119 00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,240 Speaker 1: David Irban they maybe think about him as a defensive 1120 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:07,719 Speaker 1: tackle here more than they will defensive end. But still still, 1121 00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:09,719 Speaker 1: you gotta you Still it's gonna be a spot. Well, 1122 00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,239 Speaker 1: they gotta find a spot on the fifty three. And 1123 00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:16,680 Speaker 1: so much to talk about next, so much to talk 1124 00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:19,000 Speaker 1: about tomorrow on the show.
