Speaker 3: And Danny McCrae, O the others the other boy, you
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying talking about it's so cold in
Speaker 3: the d Yeah.
Speaker 2: Detroit, Detroit, they look good.
Speaker 3: I don't know Jared go, you know, he he came out,
Speaker 3: had a little rough on at the start, but after that, man,
Speaker 3: Saint Brown, that dude is he's the truth real, I mean,
Speaker 3: and then you got Gibbs got out there over like
Speaker 3: one fifty.
Speaker 2: Montgomery not even playing.
Speaker 3: I know that brings the physicality to it. When you
Speaker 3: put Montgomery in there. My tight end, tight end Laporte
Speaker 3: different they were and the defense is playing well. So,
Speaker 3: I mean, we knew that every team in the league
Speaker 3: is likely going to go through one of those games
Speaker 3: where you're like, oh, man, I don't know what happened.
Speaker 3: I think that game for the Detroit Lions was last week,
Speaker 3: and they came out and looked like they knew that
Speaker 3: they needed to get back on track and that's what
Speaker 3: they did.
Speaker 2: And port Davonte, Man, you hate to see it.
Speaker 4: Man, he should have had a sixty yard should have
Speaker 4: had a seventy yarder.
Speaker 3: They just can't get the ball to the man. Man, Garopolo,
Speaker 3: Man talk the drop off. I mean, this is a
Speaker 3: guy that's gotten chance after chance after chance, even after
Speaker 3: that Super Bowl Super Bowl lost where they seemingly added
Speaker 3: in the bag. All they needed was Garoppolo to either
Speaker 3: make one more throw, hand the ball out one more time.
Speaker 3: And man, people just continue to believe in this guy.
Speaker 3: They write them checks for him.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's his state, they paying him
Speaker 3: for the stadium walk, what they what they're doing. But man,
Speaker 3: those two that one ball that he threw, it was
Speaker 3: so bad. I mean he overthrew, missed and missing wide open.
Speaker 3: But let me tell you something that that Detroit Lions
Speaker 3: defense is for real. They are legit. But that secondary
Speaker 3: it could be had, it can be I see it.
Speaker 2: I see.
Speaker 3: So when y'all got finished, when y'all got finished watching
Speaker 3: the game, I know I had my thoughts about Detroit
Speaker 3: and I just want to put eyes on them and
Speaker 3: just see him in real time. How they played. I
Speaker 3: was impressed. But where are you putting them right now
Speaker 3: as far as in the NFC, even with the way
Speaker 3: that San Francisco is playing at how everybody is right
Speaker 3: now mid season? Would you rank Detroit as your number
Speaker 3: one in the NFC right now? No, I think I
Speaker 3: got them at The Eagles are at number one, Okay,
Speaker 3: they lost one game so far. They know how to play,
Speaker 3: you know, from behind, ahead, whatever it is they need
Speaker 3: to do, the figure out the way to win. I
Speaker 3: think Detroit, like I said, they went in the opener,
Speaker 3: they beat Kansas City, and no matter what happened with Denver,
Speaker 3: they went up to Kansas City and they beat Kansas City, okay,
Speaker 3: and they've been playing good and getting better ever since.
Speaker 3: Besides that one little low that they had. So to me,
Speaker 3: Detroit probably number two, number two because it was San
Speaker 3: Francisco and they didn't drop three straight okay, so they
Speaker 3: haven't been able to lose and then get back on track.
Speaker 2: So Detroit number two.
Speaker 3: Then you got us that that was Cowboys out here
Speaker 3: sitting at number three, and then you got the Seahawks.
Speaker 3: But you think about that, as I name those four,
Speaker 3: we gotta play three of them and one of them twice. Absolutely,
Speaker 3: And that's the big thing about where you see the
Speaker 3: Cowboys right now in the schedule, that you got some
Speaker 3: tough games coming up in between with the Carolina, with
Speaker 3: the Giants.
Speaker 2: I think that's the only relief that you have after that, Dug.
Speaker 3: It gets real. It gets real with this season. But
Speaker 3: one of the big things that we brought up about
Speaker 3: this show today was the identity of the Downs Cowboys
Speaker 3: and just seeing like now over the last six games
Speaker 3: that we that we have seven games that we've seen
Speaker 3: from them so far. The season started without us actually
Speaker 3: knowing who they were. I think after seeing them seven
Speaker 3: games in sample size, but I think there's an identity
Speaker 3: looming and growing right now from two you guys, two
Speaker 3: X players.
Speaker 2: What do you believe that that identity is? And BC,
Speaker 2: I start with you. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I thought going into this season the formula for success,
Speaker 4: because we saw the first two games, was you know,
Speaker 4: let Tony Poller eat a little bit. We're gonna live
Speaker 4: off of this play action and we're gonna ride you know,
Speaker 4: this defense, and the defense is gonna be the strength
Speaker 4: of this team. Now, I still feel as though the
Speaker 4: defense is the strength and we're only gonna go as
Speaker 4: far as that defense takes us.
Speaker 2: But offensively, I think.
Speaker 4: It went from you know, we're gonna ground and pound,
Speaker 4: control the clock, We're gonna be all that. So now
Speaker 4: I think it's kind of morphed and developed into kind
Speaker 4: of a Dak Prescott led offense when you talk about
Speaker 4: we're going to you know, live and die by his arm,
Speaker 4: and you know, for the past two weeks, I granted,
Speaker 4: you know, they went against the Chargers who had, you know,
Speaker 4: a terrible defense, and you know the Rams, who you
Speaker 4: know are Aaron Donald or bust have went against those
Speaker 4: two offense or two defenses. But when you look at
Speaker 4: what the offense has been able to do, Dak Prescott
Speaker 4: has been extremely accurate. He's been able to move the football,
Speaker 4: and the rushing numbers have.
Speaker 2: Gone way down. They've gone way down since the beginning
Speaker 2: of the season.
Speaker 4: I mean Tony Pollard, I mean the last, you know,
Speaker 4: the three games before this this this La Rams game,
Speaker 4: he only had thirty four carries, and three of those games,
Speaker 4: all three games.
Speaker 2: Thirty four carries.
Speaker 4: So to me, I think this offense kind of morphed
Speaker 4: a little bit, and it's kind of going with Dak Prescott,
Speaker 4: who's the hot hand right now.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: I don't know if that'll change. If you know, we
Speaker 4: go against a defense and it's going back and forth.
Speaker 4: We got to get more balanced for whatever the case
Speaker 4: may be. But I think the identity of this offense
Speaker 4: going from now going forward will be you know, Dak
Speaker 4: Prescott in his arm.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Listen, going into the season, listening to Mike McCarthy and
Speaker 3: all he said about we're gonna be a running team,
Speaker 3: We're gonna play to our defense. I know what the
Speaker 3: strength of our team is. I did expect us to
Speaker 3: be a running team. And the truth is, I think
Speaker 3: we tried. I think I think we did everything we could.
Speaker 2: We tried.
Speaker 3: We were talking about the running backs, talking about dowd Or,
Speaker 3: we was talking about Duce vun, we were talking about
Speaker 3: Tony Pollard, and start off the season just based off
Speaker 3: how the games were going. I'm looking at him saying, okay,
Speaker 3: we are. We're trying to run the ball and we
Speaker 3: play to our defense. And then we hit that wall.
Speaker 3: Actually actually, because it's crazy, we ran in Arizona first,
Speaker 3: Arizona first, and then then we ran into that wall
Speaker 3: of like, okay, how do we play if our running
Speaker 3: game isn't isn't going as we expected to go, right,
Speaker 3: So I think we got it to the point of
Speaker 3: like trying to figure out what that was, and now
Speaker 3: I think it's led us to like not really having
Speaker 3: an identity, Like I don't I don't really know what
Speaker 3: what the identity of the offense is. If I'm a
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator, like what does this team want to do,
Speaker 3: Like what do we need to stop? I don't really
Speaker 3: know what that is, And I don't know if that's
Speaker 3: a positive or negative. I think we'll figure it out.
Speaker 3: But what I do think is as you get deeper
Speaker 3: into the season and you start playing some of those
Speaker 3: away games in the cold, because a lot of our
Speaker 3: games right now have been inside, you know, warm well
Speaker 3: and all that stuff. Once you start going out and
Speaker 3: it's thirty degrees outside, probably how it's gonna be this Sunday,
Speaker 3: you're looking at you saying, Okay, how do you play then?
Speaker 3: Because that's when teams like to really focus on running
Speaker 3: the ball because the ball doesn't travel as well. You know,
Speaker 3: you start see guys dropping passes. All the weather kind
Speaker 3: of affects you a little bit. So I think we'll
Speaker 3: see it we're gonna have to get back to the
Speaker 3: running game. But I don't know what the identity is.
Speaker 3: I have no idea. You know, it'll take four weeks
Speaker 3: right now when week two of Dak Prescott led offense,
Speaker 3: and give me two more weeks up. If I see
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott do this for two more weeks, then we
Speaker 3: back to you know, when he was five thousand yards
Speaker 3: forty passes a game, and you know, we're putting the
Speaker 3: game on the shoulders. So you're saying that the identity
Speaker 3: is there is no ideentaity right right now.
Speaker 2: I think we're in a transition.
Speaker 3: I think I think we had an identity like what
Speaker 3: we wanted to be, and you saw us come out,
Speaker 3: try to run the ball and play to our defense,
Speaker 3: right kicking the field goals, not really scoring touchdowns in
Speaker 3: the red bumb red zone, but being okay with kicking
Speaker 3: field goal. And then you see that that didn't work
Speaker 3: as well as you were playing for too And now
Speaker 3: we come out and you're like, okay, the game for
Speaker 3: the Chargers, I don't know, maybe that's just how it
Speaker 3: played out. But then you go on the bye weekend,
Speaker 3: you come out and then you see how they played
Speaker 3: then like I'm watching the first quarter, I'm like, I
Speaker 3: thought we was gonna be running the ball first down,
Speaker 3: second down. To see what we did on third nine.
Speaker 3: They they was running boots, that was doing the scene.
Speaker 3: So so they came out and it wasn't that same
Speaker 3: identity of like, we're going to be a physical running
Speaker 3: run the ball team.
Speaker 4: Look at it, even when we jumped ahead, even when
Speaker 4: the Cowboys jumped ahead in that game, you thought, all right,
Speaker 4: it's time to you know, milk the clock down, get
Speaker 4: up out of here. Now you saw Prescott still out
Speaker 4: there slanging that thing, hitting Cooks, hitting the CD LAMB,
Speaker 4: beating his numbers big. It wasn't like, okay, you know,
Speaker 4: let's let's let's turn around, hand the ball off, get
Speaker 4: up out of here.
Speaker 2: They were still exploiting that secondary for the rounds.
Speaker 4: So, like you said, man, I think just this offense
Speaker 4: kind of developed and kind of evolved into a kind
Speaker 4: of a Dak Prescott, least for the past two weeks.
Speaker 2: Question.
Speaker 3: So I think, and I also think that you have
Speaker 3: to do that right because I think that's what kind
Speaker 3: of gets you in trouble in those first few games.
Speaker 3: So like you get up and then you play that. Okay,
Speaker 3: we're gonna run the ball, get the clock out, whatever.
Speaker 3: We don't have to try to work on our offense
Speaker 3: because we're just gonna be vanilla with it. And then
Speaker 3: you get into the next week, right, and then you're like, oh, wait,
Speaker 3: we didn't work on nothing.
Speaker 2: We didn't.
Speaker 3: We didn't really get the chance because we were playing
Speaker 3: playing smart and then this game you get up and
Speaker 3: you're like, nah, we still need to work. This is
Speaker 3: the best opportunity we're gonna have to make our offense
Speaker 3: get better and have our receivers in our quarterbacks clicking
Speaker 3: on all cylinders. And I think they took advantage of it.
Speaker 3: Shout out to Brandon Cooks, Shout out lamb. Michael Gallup
Speaker 3: played his part and and our tight ends as a whole.
Speaker 3: Galla played No. He played his part. Is what I said?
Speaker 3: His part was two? Was it two for two?
Speaker 2: He did?
Speaker 3: He played his part. Miller, catch right there, Miller. That's
Speaker 3: what we needed, that's what we need. But I got
Speaker 3: a pom My question though franchise He ain't so y,
Speaker 3: y'all people do this because I wrote Jerry Madalon a
Speaker 3: long email on how to ask question since and not
Speaker 3: lead the witness.
Speaker 2: Wow, I had to get in the lab.
Speaker 3: I had, Oh you needed to because you may thirty
Speaker 3: five second man another thing.
Speaker 2: So so Peep High framed this.
Speaker 3: So basically, do you trust Dak Prescott the way that
Speaker 3: you're saying that the identity is Dak? Where is your
Speaker 3: trust level with Dak right now being the identity of
Speaker 3: this offense?
Speaker 4: We talk regular season, I'm out of eight. When you
Speaker 4: talk about Dak Prescott regular season, what he's been able
Speaker 4: to do these past two games.
Speaker 2: He's flowing, he's doing great.
Speaker 4: But if you're asking me, am I gonna trust this
Speaker 4: come playoff time? Yes, if that's the case as of
Speaker 4: right now, I gotta say no, because we just go
Speaker 4: about what's new. He's saying time proof and consistency and
Speaker 4: what's happened. You know, since he's been in the playoffs
Speaker 4: each and every time he's gone in there, it hasn't
Speaker 4: been the greatest. When we talk about, you know, getting
Speaker 4: to that next level. Did he have a great game
Speaker 4: against Tampa Bay? Of course, he lit him up five touchdowns,
Speaker 4: but then that very next week, you know, it was
Speaker 4: it was three interceptions.
Speaker 2: It was kind of a no show.
Speaker 4: So when you talk about playoffs, I'm not there yet,
Speaker 4: but as of right now, these two games building up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm confident. I'm confident going forward.
Speaker 3: So we got we got a big matchup, all right,
Speaker 3: the Philadelphia's Eagles week.
Speaker 2: That's what everybody's talking about.
Speaker 3: You can't turn on the television without seeing Cowboys Eagles.
Speaker 3: But the biggest thing for me is the one on
Speaker 3: one matchups. It's a ton of one on one matchups
Speaker 3: in this game. You just go through the roster and
Speaker 3: I send them all out to you guys. But the
Speaker 3: one I'm gonna I'm gonna choose between the few that
Speaker 3: we have, Okay, I have the witness. No, no, not
Speaker 3: leaving the witness. I'm just giving giving you the choices
Speaker 3: that you have, all right, all right. Number one is
Speaker 3: gonna be Mike McCarthy and Dak Versus Sirianni and Jalen Hurts. Okay,
Speaker 3: then we're gonna go Darius Slay, Ceedee, Lamb believe the
Speaker 3: other one.
Speaker 2: What do we have? What do we have? Darius Slay Cede, Lamb,
Speaker 2: Gillians and the Slim Reaper.
Speaker 3: I gotta get all right, Seth seth Uk Gilmore versus
Speaker 3: is the DeVante Smith. That's the that's two big matchups.
Speaker 3: Then you have a J. Brown versus Darn Bland another
Speaker 3: big match up. Now you have number left uh Lane
Speaker 3: Johnson versus Michael Parsons big matchup. Okay, how I mean guys,
Speaker 3: this is a This is a lot of different one
Speaker 3: versus one v one matchups. What's going to be the
Speaker 3: biggest one for you?
Speaker 2: Guys? You want to go first, listen to me.
Speaker 3: And we only do it one v one and you
Speaker 3: know what, you can go O line D line because
Speaker 3: because I know I usually do that, but like, like
Speaker 3: that is it?
Speaker 2: That is it?
Speaker 3: How do we start the game up against the l
Speaker 3: A rawms man the first that first drive, I was like,
Speaker 3: you know what we is about to be a day
Speaker 3: ever mind man Adrian Claiborne. When Tyra Smith didn't play,
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, this is about to
Speaker 3: be That's what it looked like. So so when you
Speaker 3: when you think about the Philly defensive line versus off like,
Speaker 3: what is our officive line going to look like once
Speaker 3: we get to the game.
Speaker 2: Is Tyrn Smith healthy? Right? Is he going to play?
Speaker 3: And then how do we handle guys like Carter and
Speaker 3: as a son Reddick. Yeah, we like, how do we
Speaker 3: how do we handle those type of guys, especially if
Speaker 3: we are now transitioning into not being the running team
Speaker 3: but essentially being a passengee, Like, how do you handle that?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: With a team like the Eagles, I don't know, So
Speaker 3: to me, that is a group. But then the one
Speaker 3: on one I don't know, it's Gilly and Bland versus
Speaker 3: A J. Brown because because he's gonna move all over
Speaker 3: the place, and I don't think dan Quinn is going
Speaker 3: to have these corners traveling. I think they're going to
Speaker 3: stay on their side, So I think A J. Brown
Speaker 3: is gonna get work on both sides. So I think
Speaker 3: how our secondary matches up and is able to contain
Speaker 3: AJ Brown.
Speaker 2: It's difficult to stop a guy like that, but don't.
Speaker 3: Let him go crazy like one hundred and thirty five
Speaker 3: over the last you know, say five games, like the
Speaker 3: rest of these teams have been doing.
Speaker 2: Figure out a way to stop them. That is the
Speaker 2: matchup to me when I.
Speaker 4: Look at this game overall, man, I just I don't
Speaker 4: like it for the Ducts Cowboys because I mean, we
Speaker 4: all understand the NFL is it's a game about matchups.
Speaker 2: It's all. That's all it is. It's a game about matchups.
Speaker 4: And when you look at it, where do you see
Speaker 4: the Cowboys having an advantage at And when I look
Speaker 4: at it, I'm gonna got the skill positions. You talking
Speaker 4: about Philly's offense versus the Dads Cowboys defense. If you
Speaker 4: put a safety over the top, or if you got
Speaker 4: you know, too high to make sure Davontae Smith and
Speaker 4: A J. Brown don't go off. Okay, I see it
Speaker 4: that Actually see the secondary doing something like that. But
Speaker 4: then you're lighting the box. Then instead of having an
Speaker 4: eight man box, you down to a seven or a
Speaker 4: six man box. And we all understand what Philly brings
Speaker 4: to the table rushing the ball.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's an RPO read. That's down your throat. They
Speaker 2: going straight at you.
Speaker 4: So if you do that, if you want to take
Speaker 4: away you know, the slim Reaper, and you want to
Speaker 4: take away AJ Brown, by having those safeties over top,
Speaker 4: you're gonna be lighting a box. And then if you
Speaker 4: try to bring those guys in there, like an extra safety,
Speaker 4: like a curse or a Donovan Wilson caught up in there,
Speaker 4: try to bring those guys into the box, then it
Speaker 4: leaves Bland and Gilly on one on.
Speaker 2: One islands out there with a slim Reaper and a J. Brown.
Speaker 2: I don't like that matchup as well.
Speaker 4: So to me, this game is about matchup, and I
Speaker 4: don't like what the Dalles Cowboys you're gonna have to
Speaker 4: do against the Philadelphias.
Speaker 2: I'm not a big fan. So Dron has still not
Speaker 2: won you over. No good player.
Speaker 4: He is a really good player, ball magnet the guys,
Speaker 4: you know, way better than what I ever thought he
Speaker 4: would be. But you're talking about going against possibly the
Speaker 4: number two receiver in all of football right now, who's
Speaker 4: been on a tear six straight games.
Speaker 2: Who's better?
Speaker 4: I mean Tyreek Hill? I can only throw out that's
Speaker 4: the only one. That's the only one. This guy's got
Speaker 4: six straight games of one hundred and twenty five plus yards.
Speaker 2: He's a big, physical, jump ball go getter. So I
Speaker 2: mean it's gonna be a tough matchup. So either way,
Speaker 2: So how does how is? How does our then?
Speaker 3: Because a lot of our secondary is depending on how
Speaker 3: our defensive line plays. That's right and right there to
Speaker 3: rest the passes. So I think the way that we
Speaker 3: helped that is Hey, Dan, Quinn, what type of looks
Speaker 3: do we have? We saw Micael over the center last game.
Speaker 3: How how much are you moving him around and then
Speaker 3: making his one on ones be something that then helps
Speaker 3: the Bland, Stefan Gilmore, Jordan Lewis and the rest of
Speaker 3: those guys on the back end. I think your pastors
Speaker 3: has to come alive because if you don't get pressure,
Speaker 3: you look just like.
Speaker 2: The San Francisco forty nine ers.
Speaker 3: When they get pressure, almost unbeatable as far as defensively.
Speaker 3: When they ain't getting no pressure, they look just like
Speaker 3: any other team. And I think that'll be the same
Speaker 3: for us. And when I looked at the Rams game,
Speaker 3: to me was what's going to be how they were
Speaker 3: going to compete versus Philadelphia with Poka and Cup the
Speaker 3: matchup because you know what both of those wide receivers
Speaker 3: bring on the other side for a J. Brown and
Speaker 3: DeVante Smith. Davante is a burner, He just flat out
Speaker 3: he can fly and and maybe they won't travel, but
Speaker 3: I think you depend on that matchup to be the
Speaker 3: same as last weekend because if those two guys can
Speaker 3: can hold their own, then that still allows you to
Speaker 3: do what you just talked about putting pressure on Jalen
Speaker 3: Hurst because then you can you don't have to lighten
Speaker 3: it exactly exactly, because otherwise you have to change too
Speaker 3: much of your defense.
Speaker 2: You take the aggressiveness out of it.
Speaker 3: You can't light the box versus a team that can
Speaker 3: destroy you that's top ten in the league and rushing
Speaker 3: like all of those things. And now you put their
Speaker 3: full arsenal up. And I'm sorry, I'm sure and dan
Speaker 3: Quinn I trust too, but I'm sure he's thinking the
Speaker 3: same thing. I cannot start this game by showing favorable
Speaker 3: coverage to either one of these guys, because if I
Speaker 3: do that, Jalen Hurst at this point in his career,
Speaker 3: he can read that.
Speaker 2: I have to go back and check.
Speaker 3: But I just don't see dan Quinn as historically being
Speaker 3: one of those guys who puts a lot of resources
Speaker 3: to one specific person versus depending on his ability to
Speaker 3: call the players at the right time and having his
Speaker 3: players in the right position. I just don't see us
Speaker 3: unless we out there just getting killed truths, which hasn't happened.
Speaker 3: I see him calling the game to where he helps
Speaker 3: when he cans when he can, but he's going to
Speaker 3: depend on the players who've been standing up for him.
Speaker 2: This entire season. We haven't.
Speaker 3: We haven't had a game where they just went out
Speaker 3: there and just got killed. Like you see are you
Speaker 3: running the dig routes and of a two or whatever
Speaker 3: covers we in and you see us get caught in
Speaker 3: that a few times. But outside of that, we have
Speaker 3: we have performed well yeah, yeah, I'm talking about turnovers,
Speaker 3: past break whatever it is. They have performed well against
Speaker 3: any receivers that they've gone against. And that's including Cooper
Speaker 3: Cup and Nicole Pooka Nicole who we had said, hey man,
Speaker 3: they may be one of the top duos in the league.
Speaker 3: Let me go back to the trenches a little bit here,
Speaker 3: and let's go you know, Dallas's defensive line or their
Speaker 3: pressure versus the Eagles, who have an outstanding, outstanding offensive line.
Speaker 3: And I think what we saw last week, the reason
Speaker 3: you know, Stafford couldn't get the Cup, he couldn't get
Speaker 3: to Pooka, Nicoua and those boys out there, was because
Speaker 3: we saw that pressure.
Speaker 2: We saw what he was able to bring.
Speaker 4: Did they have you know, seventeen sacks out there, No,
Speaker 4: but they were able to make life hard for Matt
Speaker 4: Stafford out there. So we fast forward to this game
Speaker 4: against the Eagles. We all know Parsons hasn't had the
Speaker 4: greatest of success against Lane Johnson on that outside. I
Speaker 4: mean that dude was one of the top tackles international
Speaker 4: Football League. So if you're Dad Quinn, do you kind
Speaker 4: of use them like you did last week as far
Speaker 4: moving them around as a chess piece because there's not
Speaker 4: really a lot of weak links to this Philly offensive line.
Speaker 4: You talk about putting them, you know, over the center.
Speaker 4: You got Kelsey, who's you know, Hall of Fame center
Speaker 4: in that regard, So if you're Dan Quinn, do you
Speaker 4: move them around to try to find that best matchup
Speaker 4: or you kind of just leading over there with laying
Speaker 4: john I mean, that's a tough one. My answer is literally,
Speaker 4: continue to do what you've been doing with Michael. Don't
Speaker 4: change it up. Don't change it up now, because I
Speaker 4: think that's what makes the defense so dynamic and you
Speaker 4: can bring pressure from so many different areas because right now,
Speaker 4: the Philly offensive line has to concentrate on where is
Speaker 4: number eleven? Even with the guys that they have that
Speaker 4: are so good, the Kelsey's and the Johnson's and everybody
Speaker 4: else they are going to be susceptible, and you.
Speaker 3: Got to ask your guys. You gotta ask your guys.
Speaker 3: Can you win your one on one matchup? Ol Sa,
Speaker 3: diggye Zee, You got have to win your one on
Speaker 3: one matchup. Tank, You're gonna have to win your one
Speaker 3: on one matchup because you're gonna have it because of
Speaker 3: the way that they move Michael round. Listen, let me
Speaker 3: tell you what I don't like about this conversation. Philly
Speaker 3: is a running team. Like listen, listen, let's just get
Speaker 3: let's get back to that part of like, Okay, we
Speaker 3: talked about pass rushing and one on one for Michael
Speaker 3: and de Launa. They are a running team and if
Speaker 3: any team is going to force you to earn the
Speaker 3: right to rush the passer, it's going to be the
Speaker 3: Philadelphia sequi. So, so what you're gonna need to do,
Speaker 3: because we're talking about like where you're gonna put Michael,
Speaker 3: there will be third downs where Philly decides they're going
Speaker 3: to run the ball against you, right, and if you
Speaker 3: sitting out there figuring out how you gonna pass rush
Speaker 3: and they ready to run the lead or draw or
Speaker 3: quarterback or quarterback option on you, read option, then you're
Speaker 3: in trouble. Right, So this team here is going to
Speaker 3: force you to play play on this on first and
Speaker 3: second down, and if you get them in third and long,
Speaker 3: that's when you're gonna be able to then release the
Speaker 3: dogs on them. But if you don't, we talked about
Speaker 3: this before before the show start. Their running game is
Speaker 3: for real now for real, when game will for real?
Speaker 3: Like all like, they have a consistent way to attack
Speaker 3: these defenses, either with the running backs or quarterbacks or both, so.
Speaker 2: Protect the run.
Speaker 3: Yeah, big matchup and feel, and I completely agree with
Speaker 3: you on that. The other matchup for me that we
Speaker 3: didn't mention is Dak Prescott Jalen Hurts. This is these
Speaker 3: are two quarterbacks and the head coaches as well. All Right,
Speaker 3: people not giving Mike mccarthur his his respect. They didn't
Speaker 3: give it to him in the game versus McVeigh last week.
Speaker 3: They're not gonna give it to him this week if
Speaker 3: he pulls out the victory. But the truth is for
Speaker 3: me that these two Dak and Mike, this is a
Speaker 3: big matchup for them because we keep asking the same question,
Speaker 3: what do you do when you come up against a
Speaker 3: team with a winning record and a team that has
Speaker 3: beat you before. All right, the matchup and you know
Speaker 3: this is a litmus task. Well all these different things,
Speaker 3: but true and Drew, indeed, you finally got to get
Speaker 3: a signature win on your on your on your record
Speaker 3: when you lose, when you get embarrassed by the forty
Speaker 3: nine ers.
Speaker 2: And this is again, this is that game.
Speaker 3: Versus Philadelphia, a division foe that no matter how you
Speaker 3: look at it, it's Philly Dallas. We hate them, they
Speaker 3: hate us. We playing them in Philly. It needs to
Speaker 3: be a time game. But you know how big this
Speaker 3: is for everything that's going on around here, because if
Speaker 3: you have the same type of showing that you have
Speaker 3: vers the forty nine ers, Oh, you got to be
Speaker 3: twenty off the plane, right, you gotta be twenty out
Speaker 3: the plane. Dogs, you gotta have twenty out the plane.
Speaker 3: I mean for real.
Speaker 2: Now, they gonna be easy, so they gonna be tasty, kings.
Speaker 3: Bro, I'm saying a lot of hope. But it's Halloween.
Speaker 3: It's Halloween. We're gonna take our first break and when
Speaker 3: we come back, we're gonna have a I guess we're

Speaker 3: segment of the Players Loungejack Maharrison, Danny mccraig, and Barry
Speaker 3: Church is in the building for a Halloween fellas. The
Speaker 3: question was or was asked, what does what movie or
Speaker 3: television series reminds you of the twenty twenty three Dallas
Speaker 3: Cowboys up until this point, Danny mccraig.
Speaker 2: Who would you say, I'm gonna go with Game of Throws? Oh,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Goot.
Speaker 3: You never know, you never know who is gonna get
Speaker 3: knocked off in that movie?
Speaker 2: Okay? True?
Speaker 3: And then we going I mean in that TV show, right,
Speaker 3: and you go in there and it's a battle for
Speaker 3: the throne. To me, w is the super Bowl, all right,
Speaker 3: and we go in there against Arizona, right, and they
Speaker 3: take out the.
Speaker 2: Main character us. They gonna take.
Speaker 3: The starting take it out in the first the first season, right,
Speaker 3: and then you know, and this is the same thing
Speaker 3: for the Cowboys, and then all throughout the season, right,
Speaker 3: Game of Thrones. Okay, we got the Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 3: go out there and they get knocked out by the
Speaker 3: Denver Broncos, right the Red Wedding. But then but then
Speaker 3: we show up, we show up, right, and we put
Speaker 3: forty and forty and thirty five and forty on on
Speaker 3: on teams, and we're just trying to figure out, like
Speaker 3: where are we? Like where are we right now? I
Speaker 3: really just don't understand. But as I go throughout the season,
Speaker 3: I'm always on sitting. I'm like this here. I'm worried
Speaker 3: every time I watch a game because I never know
Speaker 3: no matter who we play, Giants, see, how whoever it is,
Speaker 3: we just don't.
Speaker 2: Know who gonna show up for us games. We don't
Speaker 2: know what we're gonna look like. That's fine, I can
Speaker 2: give you that.
Speaker 4: Who you got me for me, I'm gonna go ahead
Speaker 4: and say this this season kind of reminds men, go
Speaker 4: another television show like my man mc cray did, and
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go to Sopranos, all right.
Speaker 2: You new to the watching, all right? That one of
Speaker 2: my favorite shows.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: That was definitely I'm glad you told me to get
Speaker 2: on that.
Speaker 4: But when I look at the Cowboys, they kind of
Speaker 4: remind me of Tony the man guy out there, all right,
Speaker 4: no matter what's going on, he's always got to find
Speaker 4: an avenue to win. Always, no matter what his main
Speaker 4: plug gets taken out, whatever the case may be, He's
Speaker 4: got to find a way to win. And that's what
Speaker 4: the same thing with the Dallas Cowboys. We started out
Speaker 4: extremely hot the New York teams. We ran through the blowouts.
Speaker 4: Then we run into an Arizona team and man, they
Speaker 4: reopen that wound when you talk about running the football.
Speaker 4: They almost rushed for two hundred yards. Man, we gotta pivot,
Speaker 4: We gotta find some way to win. We go against
Speaker 4: I think the Patriots was next after that, went over
Speaker 4: there and Motley wapped them, found a way to win.
Speaker 4: Next thing, you know, we go and get to San
Speaker 4: Francisco forty ninehundreds. We contain McCaffrey. But the passing game
Speaker 4: hurts us. I'm like, man, what are we gonna do? Like,
Speaker 4: what's going on? Here comes the wrong Bland pivot. We
Speaker 4: found a way to win, all right, d ron Blan
Speaker 4: is taking the football away. We're getting that pass rush
Speaker 4: back alive. And now look at a two game winning
Speaker 4: streak and we're heading to one of the as games.
Speaker 4: There is so to me, Uh, this team is kind
Speaker 4: of like the Sopranos, kind of like Tony, always pivot
Speaker 4: and trying to find a different aue to win.
Speaker 3: I know you're a recent watcher, but we do all know.
Speaker 3: We all know what happened to Tony at the end
Speaker 3: of the winter. We don't know what we know. He
Speaker 3: came he came out and said it all right, they
Speaker 3: came out and in the playoffs, we all know. You
Speaker 3: probably don't even feel it when it happens. Hey, that's
Speaker 3: like that social media dude like self defense trying.
Speaker 2: To oh yeah, Heaven's gates.
Speaker 3: I'm ana pickure from my movie because of well not
Speaker 3: so much a Halloween movie, but it does have the
Speaker 3: blood aspect of it, and that's killed Bill. One of
Speaker 3: my Quentin Tarantino movie Kill Bill, and it's because of
Speaker 3: that list that kill lists.
Speaker 2: All right, the Cowboys have.
Speaker 3: A kill list to kill Bill, and we got some
Speaker 3: names on our Listen, we crossed through a couple of them,
Speaker 3: but this Sunday we got Bill on the list. Dog
Speaker 3: and we this is this is that game. This is
Speaker 3: that game. This is that enemy that did you wrong.
Speaker 3: That you know them, You got that history. It plays
Speaker 3: out for decades and decades and Nate knew and they
Speaker 3: go back further than a lot of guys. They hate
Speaker 3: the Philadelphia Eagles. Kill Bill is that movie. For me,
Speaker 3: I just gonna be saying, we ain't taking no losses
Speaker 3: and kill Bill. Shut you got got it, buy got it?
Speaker 2: Trust me.
Speaker 3: But when you get buried alive, after you wear it,
Speaker 3: you got to push out your boot to get out,
Speaker 3: to get yourself out of this. That's what we have
Speaker 3: to do, Arizona. That was our game. We got buried alive,
Speaker 3: live in forty niners. They buried us alive. But I
Speaker 3: wanted to talk to y'all about Philly Man, Philly's Philly's
Speaker 3: Running game. We hadn't got that did enough talking about it.
Speaker 3: And this is the respect level that I have just
Speaker 3: watching this team. They just bludging you up front and
Speaker 3: take notes. Hey, if you listen to take notes, Okay, listen,
Speaker 3: listen to Heck when he was about to give some
Speaker 3: props to the Philadelphia Eagles. This was stuff you might
Speaker 3: not ever hear again. So here we go, gather around
Speaker 3: while I run it down. Kenneth gang Weell and DeAndre
Speaker 3: Swift to me too, very formidable running backs in this
Speaker 3: league that can run inside the tackle, but also man,
Speaker 3: what they do when they get to the outside.
Speaker 2: We know.
Speaker 3: And I go back to last year's Green Bay game.
Speaker 3: It just felt like we had no answer for green
Speaker 3: Bay attacking us out on the edges.
Speaker 2: I still see.
Speaker 3: And I'm going back to the up twenty off the
Speaker 3: playing game on October the sixteenth, when I was like, Yo,
Speaker 3: we're gonna go in there.
Speaker 2: With defensive record with I think think three in excession.
Speaker 2: I'm talking up twenty.
Speaker 3: After playing they almost had twenty to zero, and in
Speaker 3: the first half when they kicked that field goal, I
Speaker 3: was the happiest man in downas I was like, Lord,
Speaker 3: please don't let us be.
Speaker 2: They came back, though, they.
Speaker 3: Came back, but either way, it was one of those
Speaker 3: games where your defense was exposed. They show like, man,
Speaker 3: you could run on this defense, and what did everybody
Speaker 3: else do? They ran on this defense? They took they
Speaker 3: took it to him. So this running game, for me,
Speaker 3: this is that time. That's another one of those tests
Speaker 3: where we flunked that test against San Francisco in the
Speaker 3: running game so to speak, I mean they moved the
Speaker 3: ball at will on us. Do you look at this
Speaker 3: as another test for this defensive this defensive unit and
Speaker 3: stopping Philly's running game.
Speaker 2: The Night King why they do the Night King? Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I know, I listen.
Speaker 3: I'm still not sure if we are able to stop
Speaker 3: the running. We are a good run stopping team when
Speaker 3: you face a team that really focuses on running the ball.
Speaker 3: So this will be a test because I think this
Speaker 3: will be the best running team that you play against.
Speaker 2: The quarterback and run.
Speaker 3: You got two service of rod receivers AJ Brown every
Speaker 3: once in a while they bring him on the end
Speaker 3: and a round so you have the opportunity to figure
Speaker 3: out if you can stop to run this game. It
Speaker 3: does make me nervous because, like I said, we go
Speaker 3: into the draft, we get a number one draft pick
Speaker 3: and we get a defensive tackle and My hope for
Speaker 3: that was not an Aaron Donald type guy, but a
Speaker 3: guy who you say, okay, he's a difference maker, you know,
Speaker 3: playing inside in the three technique or one technique wherever
Speaker 3: you have him at, and we just haven't seen that yet.
Speaker 3: So to me, it looks like we are just person
Speaker 3: personnel wise the same as we were last year when
Speaker 3: it comes to running the ball and oh yeah, lady
Speaker 3: vanderresh out, we got some young guys coming in. We
Speaker 3: got an undersized guy and Bell who comes down to
Speaker 3: play even though he's been playing. Well, if they get
Speaker 3: into a game where it's thirty thirty runs, then we're
Speaker 3: gonna figure out, you know, what type of run stopping
Speaker 3: team we are. So it does make me nervous. Do
Speaker 3: I think we could do it? I think we can
Speaker 3: get it done, but I'm just not I'm not. I'm
Speaker 3: not super confident in the fact that we're gonna be
Speaker 3: able to stop the Feelers afterr run game and oh yeah,
Speaker 3: you see them add a new wrinkle to the toist push.
Speaker 3: Oh pass, that was real, But since you ran with
Speaker 3: the reference, I'm gonna go ahead and get one myself.
Speaker 3: What was the nephew's name, multi multiltics.
Speaker 2: That's that's the run game against his defense.
Speaker 4: How many times you're gonna let that man mess up
Speaker 4: what you got going on before you got up, you.
Speaker 2: Know, take the thinking out you got it? How many times?
Speaker 2: And that's how many times this run game has hurt.
Speaker 4: The Dollas Cowboys in the past, and this year it's
Speaker 4: time after time after time we talk about it.
Speaker 2: It's the achilles hell.
Speaker 4: If we can get that run game situated, this defense
Speaker 4: will take off. So to me, it's just how many
Speaker 4: times is it gonna hurt you before it's time to
Speaker 4: just lace them up and get rid of it. So
Speaker 4: hopefully that comes with this game. But I'm not liking
Speaker 4: the matchup.
Speaker 2: I just don't. You talked about that offensive line and
Speaker 2: what they do best. They just lean on you.
Speaker 4: They put that weight on you, to put that pressure
Speaker 4: on you, and they move the fenders out of the
Speaker 4: way and you got an explosive, quick running back and
Speaker 4: with that r p O action, I mean, it's it's
Speaker 4: it's hard because it's not just a regular downhill run game.
Speaker 4: It's all right, this guy could hand it off, he
Speaker 4: can pass it, he can keep it hisself, and it
Speaker 4: kind of keeps defenses stalling like that. That's how they
Speaker 4: did the big book of the first matchup going around.
Speaker 4: They made him think too much and that slowed them down.
Speaker 4: So to me, we're gonna get this run game stopped.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a musk, but it's gonna be a
Speaker 4: tough time doing.
Speaker 3: I'm taking notes over here. Okay, Church receiver versus defensive
Speaker 3: backs Eagles. Okay, with the Eagles on line, D line,
Speaker 3: You going to Eagles. I'll see what you're leaning going
Speaker 3: towards the end of the I don't like this. You
Speaker 3: already know because and the reason I'm taking notes is
Speaker 3: because I know this. Come tomorrow, Thursday, he could be
Speaker 3: over here talking about I was the guy.
Speaker 2: You don't like that. I just be like you. It's
Speaker 2: not me. Bro.
Speaker 3: Over here, look at Jerry said keep your hands together.
Speaker 2: Listen said nothing. Look I agree. And the fact that
Speaker 2: you will.
Speaker 3: Put cement shoes on your own nephew is really just
Speaker 3: a tell tale sign of you.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 2: I had to get he had to let him. It
Speaker 2: was about time, Bro. He almost killed driving like that,
Speaker 2: got a woman snitching killed.
Speaker 3: We're talking sopranos here. One about one of my one
Speaker 3: of my all time favorite shows. And the reason why
Speaker 3: I love the Sopranos is because at the end of
Speaker 3: the day, at the beginning of the show, Tony always
Speaker 3: go home.
Speaker 2: No matter what he did that night, he going to
Speaker 2: the crib.
Speaker 3: I got a lot of home boys. I've been telling
Speaker 3: that to over the year. Go home, go home, go
Speaker 3: to the crib man. But now that we're talking scheme
Speaker 3: as far as his running game is concerned, when you
Speaker 3: look at Jalen Hurts, if you're Dan Quinn, do you
Speaker 3: spy him?
Speaker 2: Do you come after?
Speaker 3: I mean, you got two choices, and you gotta You've
Speaker 3: seen over the over the season in last year that
Speaker 3: a lot of teams pay. You're gonna pay either way.
Speaker 3: You're gonna spine or you gonna come out. What are
Speaker 3: you doing with James? I'm bringing pressure against Jalen. I
Speaker 3: don't know the exact numbers, but I know it's not
Speaker 3: as good when you don't bring pressure, when you just
Speaker 3: let him sit back there, have his pick of the litter,
Speaker 3: or have the opportunity to also run if you get
Speaker 3: out of your lanes. You're just giving him too many
Speaker 3: avenues to beat you. All right, He's going to have
Speaker 3: to recoverag just find the hot routes. He's gonna have
Speaker 3: to have his mind working then also figure out, Okay,
Speaker 3: which way should I run? Where is he living at?
Speaker 3: Where is ninety at? Like, I'm going to make him
Speaker 3: think the entire game, and I think that's the best
Speaker 3: opportunity you have at slowing him down.
Speaker 2: You gotta come after him.
Speaker 4: You got to bring a little bit pressure and that
Speaker 4: might leave you light in the back end, but hopefully
Speaker 4: that pressure can get home. And we've seen it in
Speaker 4: the past and Quinn he's come up with a lot
Speaker 4: of different schemes to get after the quarterbacks. So you're
Speaker 4: gonna have to bring pressure because if you sit back
Speaker 4: there and only you know, bring four, play coverage on
Speaker 4: the back end and have maybe bail or somebody spy him,
Speaker 4: it's only you can only cover for so long. And
Speaker 4: they got two dynamic threats out there in a quarterback
Speaker 4: that has a canon form. So if you sit back
Speaker 4: there and play coverage and have a sponge, just let
Speaker 4: you know hurt, sit back in the pocket, bounce a
Speaker 4: little bit hot these guys get open.
Speaker 2: Eventually he's gonna dice you apart.
Speaker 4: You gotta speed things up for a guy like Hurts
Speaker 4: and force him into making bad decisions. And I think
Speaker 4: you can get that accomplished if you bring a little
Speaker 4: bit of pressure.
Speaker 3: Well, we're gonna take our final break here. When we
Speaker 3: come back, I'm gonna ask you guys, as players, what
Speaker 3: is your mind state going into a divisional game like
Speaker 3: this knowing that the media circus is going to be
Speaker 3: there on Monday morning whether you want it to not.

Speaker 3: locker room coming off of victory?
Speaker 2: And also a division folk, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Like I like to fight against going to the must
Speaker 3: win situations because that it puts a lot of pressure
Speaker 3: on you. I think that's where you got to when
Speaker 3: you were playing San Francisco, like, all right, we're gonna
Speaker 3: put everything into this game. This right here is the
Speaker 3: super Bowl, right and then what happens is if you
Speaker 3: have a letdown, then it becomes a little bit more
Speaker 3: tougher for you to say, Okay, how do we figure
Speaker 3: out a way to shake back same thing here? Okay,
Speaker 3: because you already went against your first measure and stick
Speaker 3: and it didn't go well. Putting putting all your chips
Speaker 3: into this basket can really can really set you back.
Speaker 3: All right, So I'm going into this game saying, you
Speaker 3: know what all we need to do is focus on
Speaker 3: playing as well as we can.
Speaker 2: Play, and whatever happens happens.
Speaker 3: But I want to make sure we go out here penalties,
Speaker 3: keep them down, Dak Prescott be efficient to protect the ball,
Speaker 3: and defense. Can we figure out how to stop the
Speaker 3: run and continue taking the ball away. If we do
Speaker 3: all that and we lose, and we lost, but we
Speaker 3: have to play well. We can't go out there and
Speaker 3: then coming here on Monday and be like, man, hey, guys,
Speaker 3: like we just didn't play well as a team, because
Speaker 3: that's when you run into an issue. So my focus says, hey, man,
Speaker 3: I want to play as well as I can play,
Speaker 3: and then the result is the result.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's an unobercent right there. I'm with you on that.
Speaker 4: You can't get too excited going into this game. Too overhyped.
Speaker 4: We talked about well new we talked about that against
Speaker 4: San Francisco, and we see what happened. I mean, you
Speaker 4: got the penalties that were extending drives. Guys, were just
Speaker 4: a little bit too overhyped. But as a player going
Speaker 4: into a rivalry game like this, you're going to be excited.
Speaker 4: You're going to be out there and you want to
Speaker 4: put your forward and go out there in ballved but
Speaker 4: a craze one hundred percent. Right, When you go into
Speaker 4: games like this, you gotta make sure your job and
Speaker 4: your responsibility is taken care of. I mean, you gotta
Speaker 4: understand that your teammates they're gonna do what they gotta do.
Speaker 4: You gotta trust the teammates to do their job, but
Speaker 4: you gotta go in there with the mindset that I
Speaker 4: gotta make sure my assignment is taking care of one
Speaker 4: hundred percent of the time. And if you go out
Speaker 4: there and you do what you gotta do, hopefully you
Speaker 4: get the dub. If not, it is what it is.
Speaker 4: But you can't go out there and just try to
Speaker 4: pay a superman like. You can't be like, oh, I'm
Speaker 4: so hyped up for this game. I'm gonna do everybody's job.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be the reason we win this game.
Speaker 4: Just focus on your responsibilities and hopefully you guys get
Speaker 4: the job done.
Speaker 3: And if you do that, then you looking like first
Speaker 3: place in the division. You know, I'm not surprised that
Speaker 3: you guys are going political on this, right, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean?
Speaker 2: It's X players, you know, I know y'all assignment alignment.
Speaker 3: Remember what you do it. Don't get lost in the sauce.
Speaker 3: I get it, and I understand. No, you gotta win this.
Speaker 3: You gotta put it on yourself right now. You better
Speaker 3: win this one because as the forty nine ers talk
Speaker 3: was what we're saying, man, the forty nine is pulled off.
Speaker 3: It came off the gas. It could have been worse.
Speaker 3: You got a division fold. It's not gonna give you
Speaker 3: the same luxury. They're not gonna say we need to
Speaker 3: pull out the gas on. These people got embarrassed.
Speaker 2: You know that.
Speaker 3: Watch this political response. No, I'm not going for that.
Speaker 3: What I'm saying, response to you, because because what you
Speaker 3: gotta do, because what you got to do defensively. If
Speaker 3: Michael is gonna go on this podcast and say that
Speaker 3: Philly is the number one team that he got to
Speaker 3: show up, all right, he got to show up. I
Speaker 3: need to see more crawling in this. I need to
Speaker 3: when somebody else I need more problem, get some honey
Speaker 3: pulled on or something.
Speaker 2: He does. It was like what even honey, listen, No, no,
Speaker 2: this could put up this guy.
Speaker 3: Man, this guy, you need to do you out. I
Speaker 3: did say it, he did say he said it. But anyways,
Speaker 3: not help the but not help the man.
Speaker 2: Help. I heard the help the bear part, not the.
Speaker 9: Sprinkle me. That's a different song. Different artists expressed the remix.
Speaker 9: I never heard that one. Listen, listen, y'all, don't listen.
Speaker 3: The heck Okay, go out here and focus on, like
Speaker 3: be At Church said, playing the best that you can play,
Speaker 3: all right, because I'm telling you go. You go out
Speaker 3: here and you start playing that hero ball and not
Speaker 3: trusting the fact that your teammates are gonna do what
Speaker 3: they got because that's what happens when people try to
Speaker 3: play hero ball. You don't believe that the dude wh's
Speaker 3: supposed to be in the A gap is gonna be
Speaker 3: in the A gap. So not you peaking in the
Speaker 3: A gap. I'm gonna run over that. I'm gonna set
Speaker 3: the head like you know that guy. So you make
Speaker 3: sure y'all listen. Okay, you need to be an A gap,
Speaker 3: get in the A gap, A gaps under control, all
Speaker 3: that disciplined stuff y'all talking about. Yes, I get it.

Speaker 3: be playmakers. Michael, I need you to be on the attack.
