You better not say nothing. 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.640 You talked to him. I don't want to. I don't 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:39.880 want no problem me me neither. 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.360 Barry Church is in the building on on a Tuesday 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:44.920 Monday night. 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:46.600 Football went off last night. 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.400 And Danny McCrae, O the others the other boy, you 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.320 know what I'm saying talking about it's so cold in 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.920 the d Yeah. 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:58.160 Detroit, Detroit, they look good. 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.800 I don't know Jared go, you know, he he came out, 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.040 had a little rough on at the start, but after that, man, 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.600 Saint Brown, that dude is he's the truth real, I mean, 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.880 and then you got Gibbs got out there over like 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:09.560 one fifty. 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.040 Montgomery not even playing. 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.760 I know that brings the physicality to it. When you 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.360 put Montgomery in there. My tight end, tight end Laporte 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.840 different they were and the defense is playing well. So, 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:25.560 I mean, we knew that every team in the league 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.560 is likely going to go through one of those games 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.720 where you're like, oh, man, I don't know what happened. 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.480 I think that game for the Detroit Lions was last week, 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:34.720 and they came out and looked like they knew that 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.320 they needed to get back on track and that's what 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:36.679 they did. 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:40.160 And port Davonte, Man, you hate to see it. 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.440 Man, he should have had a sixty yard should have 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:44.600 had a seventy yarder. 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.840 They just can't get the ball to the man. Man, Garopolo, 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.679 Man talk the drop off. I mean, this is a 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.400 guy that's gotten chance after chance after chance, even after 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.480 that Super Bowl Super Bowl lost where they seemingly added 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.960 in the bag. All they needed was Garoppolo to either 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.560 make one more throw, hand the ball out one more time. 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.760 And man, people just continue to believe in this guy. 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:06.040 They write them checks for him. 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:07.640 I don't know. 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:09.680 I don't know if it's his state, they paying him 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:13.520 for the stadium walk, what they what they're doing. But man, 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:15.880 those two that one ball that he threw, it was 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:19.000 so bad. I mean he overthrew, missed and missing wide open. 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.680 But let me tell you something that that Detroit Lions 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:26.519 defense is for real. They are legit. But that secondary 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:29.680 it could be had, it can be I see it. 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:30.360 I see. 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.440 So when y'all got finished, when y'all got finished watching 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.639 the game, I know I had my thoughts about Detroit 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.040 and I just want to put eyes on them and 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.080 just see him in real time. How they played. I 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.200 was impressed. But where are you putting them right now 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.440 as far as in the NFC, even with the way 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.280 that San Francisco is playing at how everybody is right 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.960 now mid season? Would you rank Detroit as your number 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.760 one in the NFC right now? No, I think I 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:55.000 got them at The Eagles are at number one, Okay, 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.840 they lost one game so far. They know how to play, 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.400 you know, from behind, ahead, whatever it is they need 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.440 to do, the figure out the way to win. I 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.760 think Detroit, like I said, they went in the opener, 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.440 they beat Kansas City, and no matter what happened with Denver, 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.440 they went up to Kansas City and they beat Kansas City, okay, 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.120 and they've been playing good and getting better ever since. 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.560 Besides that one little low that they had. So to me, 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:21.000 Detroit probably number two, number two because it was San 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.560 Francisco and they didn't drop three straight okay, so they 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.920 haven't been able to lose and then get back on track. 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:28.000 So Detroit number two. 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.120 Then you got us that that was Cowboys out here 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.640 sitting at number three, and then you got the Seahawks. 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.000 But you think about that, as I name those four, 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.240 we gotta play three of them and one of them twice. Absolutely, 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.279 And that's the big thing about where you see the 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.560 Cowboys right now in the schedule, that you got some 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.640 tough games coming up in between with the Carolina, with 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:49.279 the Giants. 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.920 I think that's the only relief that you have after that, Dug. 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.080 It gets real. It gets real with this season. But 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.640 one of the big things that we brought up about 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:02.839 this show today was the identity of the Downs Cowboys 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.680 and just seeing like now over the last six games 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:08.760 that we that we have seven games that we've seen 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:12.719 from them so far. The season started without us actually 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:17.520 knowing who they were. I think after seeing them seven 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:22.839 games in sample size, but I think there's an identity 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.800 looming and growing right now from two you guys, two 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:26.600 X players. 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.719 What do you believe that that identity is? And BC, 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:31.120 I start with you. Yeah. 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.279 I thought going into this season the formula for success, 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.120 because we saw the first two games, was you know, 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.160 let Tony Poller eat a little bit. We're gonna live 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.039 off of this play action and we're gonna ride you know, 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.279 this defense, and the defense is gonna be the strength 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.120 of this team. Now, I still feel as though the 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.040 defense is the strength and we're only gonna go as 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:48.360 far as that defense takes us. 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:49.840 But offensively, I think. 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:51.600 It went from you know, we're gonna ground and pound, 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.080 control the clock, We're gonna be all that. So now 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.960 I think it's kind of morphed and developed into kind 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.559 of a Dak Prescott led offense when you talk about 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:01.680 we're going to you know, live and die by his arm, 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:03.960 and you know, for the past two weeks, I granted, 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:05.720 you know, they went against the Chargers who had, you know, 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.839 a terrible defense, and you know the Rams, who you 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.360 know are Aaron Donald or bust have went against those 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.080 two offense or two defenses. But when you look at 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.320 what the offense has been able to do, Dak Prescott 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.680 has been extremely accurate. He's been able to move the football, 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:20.120 and the rushing numbers have. 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.680 Gone way down. They've gone way down since the beginning 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:23.119 of the season. 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.440 I mean Tony Pollard, I mean the last, you know, 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.719 the three games before this this this La Rams game, 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.480 he only had thirty four carries, and three of those games, 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:32.320 all three games. 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:32.919 Thirty four carries. 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.400 So to me, I think this offense kind of morphed 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.480 a little bit, and it's kind of going with Dak Prescott, 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:38.640 who's the hot hand right now. 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:38.960 Now. 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:40.400 I don't know if that'll change. If you know, we 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.240 go against a defense and it's going back and forth. 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:43.960 We got to get more balanced for whatever the case 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.160 may be. But I think the identity of this offense 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:48.960 going from now going forward will be you know, Dak 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:49.880 Prescott in his arm. 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:50.720 Yeah. 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.839 Listen, going into the season, listening to Mike McCarthy and 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:55.600 all he said about we're gonna be a running team, 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.200 We're gonna play to our defense. I know what the 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.560 strength of our team is. I did expect us to 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.320 be a running team. And the truth is, I think 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.680 we tried. I think I think we did everything we could. 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:06.200 We tried. 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.160 We were talking about the running backs, talking about dowd Or, 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.360 we was talking about Duce vun, we were talking about 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.880 Tony Pollard, and start off the season just based off 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.200 how the games were going. I'm looking at him saying, okay, 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:16.760 we are. We're trying to run the ball and we 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.640 play to our defense. And then we hit that wall. 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:24.080 Actually actually, because it's crazy, we ran in Arizona first, 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.360 Arizona first, and then then we ran into that wall 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.920 of like, okay, how do we play if our running 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.920 game isn't isn't going as we expected to go, right, 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:35.720 So I think we got it to the point of 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.720 like trying to figure out what that was, and now 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:39.760 I think it's led us to like not really having 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.239 an identity, Like I don't I don't really know what 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.920 what the identity of the offense is. If I'm a 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.720 defensive coordinator, like what does this team want to do, 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:51.160 Like what do we need to stop? I don't really 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:52.560 know what that is, And I don't know if that's 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.600 a positive or negative. I think we'll figure it out. 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.360 But what I do think is as you get deeper 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.320 into the season and you start playing some of those 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.280 away games in the cold, because a lot of our 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.160 games right now have been inside, you know, warm well 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.480 and all that stuff. Once you start going out and 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:10.160 it's thirty degrees outside, probably how it's gonna be this Sunday, 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.400 you're looking at you saying, Okay, how do you play then? 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.720 Because that's when teams like to really focus on running 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.320 the ball because the ball doesn't travel as well. You know, 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.480 you start see guys dropping passes. All the weather kind 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:21.920 of affects you a little bit. So I think we'll 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:23.240 see it we're gonna have to get back to the 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.480 running game. But I don't know what the identity is. 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.640 I have no idea. You know, it'll take four weeks 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.160 right now when week two of Dak Prescott led offense, 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:33.760 and give me two more weeks up. If I see 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.520 Dak Prescott do this for two more weeks, then we 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.120 back to you know, when he was five thousand yards 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.000 forty passes a game, and you know, we're putting the 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.880 game on the shoulders. So you're saying that the identity 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.079 is there is no ideentaity right right now. 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:47.640 I think we're in a transition. 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.439 I think I think we had an identity like what 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.720 we wanted to be, and you saw us come out, 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:54.600 try to run the ball and play to our defense, 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.360 right kicking the field goals, not really scoring touchdowns in 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.560 the red bumb red zone, but being okay with kicking 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.640 field goal. And then you see that that didn't work 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.280 as well as you were playing for too And now 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.000 we come out and you're like, okay, the game for 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.120 the Chargers, I don't know, maybe that's just how it 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:12.720 played out. But then you go on the bye weekend, 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:14.920 you come out and then you see how they played 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:16.880 then like I'm watching the first quarter, I'm like, I 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:18.520 thought we was gonna be running the ball first down, 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.240 second down. To see what we did on third nine. 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.600 They they was running boots, that was doing the scene. 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.040 So so they came out and it wasn't that same 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:26.920 identity of like, we're going to be a physical running 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:27.600 run the ball team. 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.079 Look at it, even when we jumped ahead, even when 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.440 the Cowboys jumped ahead in that game, you thought, all right, 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:34.400 it's time to you know, milk the clock down, get 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.199 up out of here. Now you saw Prescott still out 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.920 there slanging that thing, hitting Cooks, hitting the CD LAMB, 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.280 beating his numbers big. It wasn't like, okay, you know, 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.079 let's let's let's turn around, hand the ball off, get 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:44.680 up out of here. 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.040 They were still exploiting that secondary for the rounds. 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.360 So, like you said, man, I think just this offense 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.679 kind of developed and kind of evolved into a kind 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.320 of a Dak Prescott, least for the past two weeks. 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:53.520 Question. 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.840 So I think, and I also think that you have 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.079 to do that right because I think that's what kind 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.000 of gets you in trouble in those first few games. 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.800 So like you get up and then you play that. Okay, 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:04.960 we're gonna run the ball, get the clock out, whatever. 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.120 We don't have to try to work on our offense 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:08.960 because we're just gonna be vanilla with it. And then 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.160 you get into the next week, right, and then you're like, oh, wait, 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:12.040 we didn't work on nothing. 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:13.360 We didn't. 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.160 We didn't really get the chance because we were playing 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.760 playing smart and then this game you get up and 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:19.600 you're like, nah, we still need to work. This is 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.080 the best opportunity we're gonna have to make our offense 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.600 get better and have our receivers in our quarterbacks clicking 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.480 on all cylinders. And I think they took advantage of it. 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:30.400 Shout out to Brandon Cooks, Shout out lamb. Michael Gallup 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:36.000 played his part and and our tight ends as a whole. 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.560 Galla played No. He played his part. Is what I said? 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:41.880 His part was two? Was it two for two? 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:42.520 He did? 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.320 He played his part. Miller, catch right there, Miller. That's 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.040 what we needed, that's what we need. But I got 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:54.920 a pom My question though franchise He ain't so y, 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.240 y'all people do this because I wrote Jerry Madalon a 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.560 long email on how to ask question since and not 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:01.360 lead the witness. 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.840 Wow, I had to get in the lab. 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:08.120 I had, Oh you needed to because you may thirty 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.760 five second man another thing. 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:14.960 So so Peep High framed this. 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:19.880 So basically, do you trust Dak Prescott the way that 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:23.120 you're saying that the identity is Dak? Where is your 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.880 trust level with Dak right now being the identity of 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:27.520 this offense? 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.680 We talk regular season, I'm out of eight. When you 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.160 talk about Dak Prescott regular season, what he's been able 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:34.600 to do these past two games. 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:35.760 He's flowing, he's doing great. 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:37.880 But if you're asking me, am I gonna trust this 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.160 come playoff time? Yes, if that's the case as of 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.000 right now, I gotta say no, because we just go 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.680 about what's new. He's saying time proof and consistency and 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.160 what's happened. You know, since he's been in the playoffs 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:51.559 each and every time he's gone in there, it hasn't 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.520 been the greatest. When we talk about, you know, getting 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.120 to that next level. Did he have a great game 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.040 against Tampa Bay? Of course, he lit him up five touchdowns, 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.720 but then that very next week, you know, it was 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:01.720 it was three interceptions. 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:02.640 It was kind of a no show. 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.000 So when you talk about playoffs, I'm not there yet, 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.400 but as of right now, these two games building up. 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.400 Yeah, I'm confident. I'm confident going forward. 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.800 So we got we got a big matchup, all right, 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:13.320 the Philadelphia's Eagles week. 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:14.800 That's what everybody's talking about. 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:18.080 You can't turn on the television without seeing Cowboys Eagles. 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:21.000 But the biggest thing for me is the one on 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.600 one matchups. It's a ton of one on one matchups 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.600 in this game. You just go through the roster and 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.680 I send them all out to you guys. But the 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.760 one I'm gonna I'm gonna choose between the few that 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.800 we have, Okay, I have the witness. No, no, not 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.120 leaving the witness. I'm just giving giving you the choices 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.280 that you have, all right, all right. Number one is 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:44.280 gonna be Mike McCarthy and Dak Versus Sirianni and Jalen Hurts. Okay, 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:50.280 then we're gonna go Darius Slay, Ceedee, Lamb believe the 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:50.800 other one. 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.400 What do we have? What do we have? Darius Slay Cede, Lamb, 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:55.480 Gillians and the Slim Reaper. 0:12:55.840 --> 0:13:00.000 I gotta get all right, Seth seth Uk Gilmore versus 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.319 is the DeVante Smith. That's the that's two big matchups. 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:08.040 Then you have a J. Brown versus Darn Bland another 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:11.520 big match up. Now you have number left uh Lane 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:18.360 Johnson versus Michael Parsons big matchup. Okay, how I mean guys, 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.120 this is a This is a lot of different one 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.280 versus one v one matchups. What's going to be the 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:25.160 biggest one for you? 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:29.320 Guys? You want to go first, listen to me. 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:32.720 And we only do it one v one and you 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.800 know what, you can go O line D line because 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.520 because I know I usually do that, but like, like 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:39.200 that is it? 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:40.200 That is it? 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:41.880 How do we start the game up against the l 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:45.600 A rawms man the first that first drive, I was like, 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.400 you know what we is about to be a day 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.800 ever mind man Adrian Claiborne. When Tyra Smith didn't play, 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:52.520 I was like, oh my god, this is about to 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.480 be That's what it looked like. So so when you 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.320 when you think about the Philly defensive line versus off like, 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:00.360 what is our officive line going to look like once 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:01.520 we get to the game. 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:05.200 Is Tyrn Smith healthy? Right? Is he going to play? 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:09.280 And then how do we handle guys like Carter and 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.880 as a son Reddick. Yeah, we like, how do we 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.880 how do we handle those type of guys, especially if 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.240 we are now transitioning into not being the running team 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:22.440 but essentially being a passengee, Like, how do you handle that? 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:23.720 You know? 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:25.560 With a team like the Eagles, I don't know, So 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.760 to me, that is a group. But then the one 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.640 on one I don't know, it's Gilly and Bland versus 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.400 A J. Brown because because he's gonna move all over 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.240 the place, and I don't think dan Quinn is going 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.520 to have these corners traveling. I think they're going to 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:39.280 stay on their side, So I think A J. Brown 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.520 is gonna get work on both sides. So I think 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:45.400 how our secondary matches up and is able to contain 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:46.120 AJ Brown. 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.720 It's difficult to stop a guy like that, but don't. 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:50.520 Let him go crazy like one hundred and thirty five 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.440 over the last you know, say five games, like the 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:53.680 rest of these teams have been doing. 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:55.600 Figure out a way to stop them. That is the 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:57.240 matchup to me when I. 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.160 Look at this game overall, man, I just I don't 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.080 like it for the Ducts Cowboys because I mean, we 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.920 all understand the NFL is it's a game about matchups. 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.000 It's all. That's all it is. It's a game about matchups. 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:07.920 And when you look at it, where do you see 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:10.040 the Cowboys having an advantage at And when I look 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.240 at it, I'm gonna got the skill positions. You talking 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:16.480 about Philly's offense versus the Dads Cowboys defense. If you 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:18.400 put a safety over the top, or if you got 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.480 you know, too high to make sure Davontae Smith and 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:22.440 A J. Brown don't go off. Okay, I see it 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.400 that Actually see the secondary doing something like that. But 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:26.800 then you're lighting the box. Then instead of having an 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:28.440 eight man box, you down to a seven or a 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:30.880 six man box. And we all understand what Philly brings 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:31.880 to the table rushing the ball. 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.400 Absolutely, that's an RPO read. That's down your throat. They 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:35.320 going straight at you. 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:37.200 So if you do that, if you want to take 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:38.840 away you know, the slim Reaper, and you want to 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.920 take away AJ Brown, by having those safeties over top, 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:42.400 you're gonna be lighting a box. And then if you 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.000 try to bring those guys in there, like an extra safety, 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:51.160 like a curse or a Donovan Wilson caught up in there, 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.640 try to bring those guys into the box, then it 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:57.040 leaves Bland and Gilly on one on. 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.280 One islands out there with a slim Reaper and a J. Brown. 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:00.920 I don't like that matchup as well. 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.520 So to me, this game is about matchup, and I 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.560 don't like what the Dalles Cowboys you're gonna have to 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:07.920 do against the Philadelphias. 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.440 I'm not a big fan. So Dron has still not 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.280 won you over. No good player. 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.840 He is a really good player, ball magnet the guys, 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:17.800 you know, way better than what I ever thought he 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:21.240 would be. But you're talking about going against possibly the 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:23.760 number two receiver in all of football right now, who's 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:25.240 been on a tear six straight games. 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:25.920 Who's better? 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:27.960 I mean Tyreek Hill? I can only throw out that's 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:29.760 the only one. That's the only one. This guy's got 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:32.520 six straight games of one hundred and twenty five plus yards. 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.280 He's a big, physical, jump ball go getter. So I 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:38.000 mean it's gonna be a tough matchup. So either way, 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:40.120 So how does how is? How does our then? 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.760 Because a lot of our secondary is depending on how 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.560 our defensive line plays. That's right and right there to 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:48.800 rest the passes. So I think the way that we 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:50.880 helped that is Hey, Dan, Quinn, what type of looks 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.240 do we have? We saw Micael over the center last game. 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:56.320 How how much are you moving him around and then 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.640
