Today, It's a talk Taco Tuesday, 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:12.160 A talk oh Tuesday. Because we talked defense so much yesterday, 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:14.720 we probably got a talk offense today. 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:18.280 I like it. I'm still on the defense. Oh no, 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:19.440 we got offense too. 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.039 Yeah, yeah, we could go back and forth. Offense has 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.840 its own issues. Three out of four bad, yeah, And 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.720 we had an opportunity at the end of the day 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:31.240 yesterday after we were signed off the air, Mike McCarthy 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:35.600 had a press conference, and then the coordinators had their 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:41.959 own media availabilities, and so we've got some light shed 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:46.240 on what happened on Sunday afternoon. Mickey's got his legal 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:50.080 pad filled with notes. I'm sure that he was scribbling 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:54.880 down Savannah as he was listening to the coordinators talk yesterday. 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:56.240 Yes, what did they say? 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:57.520 What did they say? 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.480 Yes, tell us, give us, give us some I'll let 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.920 you go through the legal pad and come up with 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.760 some highlights. But I was most interested before we talk, 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:10.720 oh Tuesday, I was most interested in hearing what dan 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:11.799 Quinn had to say. 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:17.680 Yeah, he was how should we say. 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:19.840 He was upset with the way this defense? 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:29.640 Yes, yeah, that's probably quote him very accurate. He So 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:34.760 here's what I think I took from him, And it 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:40.600 was about how in the first half basically, but it 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:45.960 kind of carried over to fourth quarter giving up Big Place. 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.200 And in the fourth quarter of the one Big. 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:52.920 Place sixty nine yard Michael Wilson right left, but he 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.440 gave left unguarded. But he gave him Aleik Hooker credit 0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:00.200 for saving the touchdown and giving him an opportunity at 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:01.120 least maybe. 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:05.520 Four playing that it was not Malik Hooker's fault. In fact, 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.120 Malik Hooker is the one who gave him a chance 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:09.480 to get a stop on the right drive. 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:13.920 Which they didn't absolutely And he talked about how Hooker played, 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.040 Bland played, and d law and. 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:19.680 D law ted. Those were the three guys who played. 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:24.239 Up to snuff run Sunday, and everybody else pretty much 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.600 was less than what they usually do. 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.639 So this will be the shocking stat that I came 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:36.760 up with after listening to him about big plays. Okay, okay, 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.960 So the first two games, and we're going to judge 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:45.920 big plays run and pass plays of twenty plus yards. 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:51.360 The first two games, they gave up three of those 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:57.840 in that category for one hundred and fourteen yards, just three, 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.640 and one of them was the sixty eight eight yarder 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:08.640 with Zach Wilson to Gary Wilson sixty eight yard touchdown pass. 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:17.120 So we talked yesterday that there were seven big plays 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:24.839 by Arizona of twenty plus yards. Well, those seven plays 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:29.720 came to two hundred and forty. 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.000 Nine yards against Arizona. 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:36.240 Against Arizona, so two hundred and forty nine of their 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:41.200 four hundred yards came on seven plays. The other forty 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:45.000 six plays they had came to one hundred and fifty 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.240 one yards. So if you do the math on it, 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.800 the seventh plays for two forty nine come to about 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:57.279 thirty some yards of play average, and the forty six 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.880 plays for one hundred and fifty one yards come to 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.919 three point two yards of play. So how do you 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:08.920 play so well on forty six plays and seven plays 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:16.160 were disaster which basically got them beat right, And that 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:21.920 was the difference I think in that game, seeing that 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:26.719 they had, you know, plays of sixty nine, forty five 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:30.320 for a touchdown, forty four for a run. I think 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.800 they had a thirty in there and a couple twenties. 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:37.960 But so what happened with this defense? And you know, 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.159 sometimes they get you right. They came up with a 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.479 play and out schemed you on that play. But a 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.919 lot of times those big plays like that, they're mistakes, 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.479 their assignment mistakes. Just like Bill pointed out on the 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:55.840 sixty nine yard pass, there's no way you devised a 0:05:55.960 --> 0:06:00.640 defense to let that guy run across the field down 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:06.279 the right side all by himself without a soul even there, 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:12.599 So there was a misplay there. We talked about. Bill 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:17.240 mentioned the forty four yarder quarterback quarterback Rod and then 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:21.880 on that touchdown the forty five yard one, Sam Williams 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:27.279 crashed inside, didn't hold down the edge, and they double 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:31.960 teamed jay Ron Curse to the outside, double teamed him 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.240 with both tight ends on that play that I went 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.320 and watched. And then that was the one Donovan Wilson 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.400 took a false step to his left and couldn't get 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:42.920 back in time to his right. 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:44.800 Do you think they were confused? 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.200 Some of the guys were confused because when I watched, 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.599 there was a Sam Williams, Jordan Lewis looked confused on 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.320 a couple plays. Is that a problem as far as 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.520 that inconsistency there? Do they need to tighten up on? 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:58.520 There was having consistency? 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.279 There was one play they had they were confused on 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:07.240 lining up Parsons was to the latter shoot him to 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.120 the right, his hands, Yeah, and he's going, WHOA, what 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.920 do I do? What am I am? I playing defensive 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:17.680 vendor linebacker? Right? So yeah, I think there was some 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:21.160 of that, And and I'm going to give Arizona credit 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.440 for scheming against this defense. I think that you know, 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:29.680 they they saw some of the apparent weaknesses. And then 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.920 the other thing that stood out to me is the 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:39.000 defensive front was not keeping the offensive lineman off the linebackers. 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.720 There was too many times, Vendorish. It's one thing to 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.400 have one guy come on you, sometimes. 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:45.640 There was two. 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:48.480 You can't play defense like that. 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:49.480 You know. 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:54.440 It's interesting just you have a certain game plan offensively 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.560 and defensively as you go into a game, and I wonder, 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.320 I think that when you look at the offense. I 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:06.840 think once it was determined on Saturday that Tyron Smith 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.920 as was highly unlikely to play, and Zach Martin was 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.040 out and Tyler Biottish was out, and you pretty much 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:17.480 were certain you were going with three new starters on 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.920 and then a first time started this year and Tyler 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:25.800 Smith that left guard that Mike McCarthy altered his game 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.240 plan for the game. As far as what they were 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:32.120 going to do offensively, I don't defensively, they may have 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:33.960 wanted to do the same thing. Maybe they did, I 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.600 don't know, but this was a game where with the 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:42.240 uncertainty on the offensive line, the possibility of producing a 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.080 lot of points was not going to be as great 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.920 as if everybody was healthy. And the one thing you 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.120 want to avoid against Arizona is the big play. And 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.720 I think that but the calling card of this Cowboys 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.560 defense the first two games of this year, for the 0:08:55.640 --> 0:09:00.120 last two years are their takeaways, their big playability. And 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.000 I think they went in with the attitude that we're 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:06.760 gonna we're us, We're going to do what we do defensively, 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.000 and we are going to come up with big plays. 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.679 And it backfired. 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.800 On them, like they were hunting the plays exactly. 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:18.360 They were aggressively seeking the big plays. And that's why 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.839 I mentioned to Everson is it's become a mindset of 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:25.640 a player when you know you're down a number of 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.400 players in a game, that you're trying to do too much. 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.040 You're trying to make that big play, and maybe even 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:34.120 from a coaching standpoint, you're trying to do too much 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.200 to make a big play win in this game against 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.200 this particular team. If you just kept them all in 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.560 front of you and made it and played it like 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.959 it was going to be a close game, then you 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.640 wouldn't have had the big plays sprung on you. One 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:51.240 play in particular, the Rondelle Moore play, Mickey, which you 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.640 talked about. Sam Williams was playing the right edge. He 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:58.640 was set up as a wide nine. Drence Armstrong was 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.240 wide nine to the lew left and if you look 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:05.520 at the end zone copy, the Cowboys basically had two 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.560 down linemen and Marquise Bell as your middle linebacker on 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.840 that play. And that was the play where Marquise Bell 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.120 got eaten up by the offensive lineman. Some will say 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:20.160 the offensive lineman held him as well, but the numbers 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:25.800 weren't right there by formation Arizona schemed it where Leyton 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:30.880 vander Esch was not playing the middle, he was shaded 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:32.240 to the left side of the formation. 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:37.880 And the one thing also I think Quinn pointed out 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:42.559 is they didn't have a takeaway. This team, that defense 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:48.360 lives on takeaways, and they had what seven of them 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.880 in the first two games. They were plus seven takeaway differential. 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.760 So I just decided right now I was going to 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.760 see the last time they played a game without a 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:04.679 ten take away And I'm looking here from last year, 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:13.720 and if I can go game by game, you're. 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:14.960 Going to find that. 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:21.400 Going to find that. I go back to Washington the 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.079 fourth game of the year. They didn't have an interception, 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.520 they didn't have a fumble recovery. 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.439 As you're looking that up. One of the reasons that 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.959 they had so many turnovers or takeaways in the first 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:38.760 two games of this year is they were able to 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:40.920 get up on the Giants and the Jets early in 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.600 the game. Right, this game played out differently where they 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.600 were down fifteen to three in the second quarter. You 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.400 go back, and you go back the last couple of years, 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:53.400 and when the Cowboys fall behind by double digits in 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.239 the first half of a game, it usually doesn't bode. 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:57.840 Well for them. Right, most teams are like that. 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:02.200 Yeah, but you previous year, I think it was during 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:05.200 the I'm pretty sure it was the twenty twenty one season. 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.840 All the losses they got behind by double figures in 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.760 the first half of the game, and every game that 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:13.880 they didn't do that they won. 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.959 So last year all they had was one two, three, 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:24.280 four or five six, six, six games with no interceptions 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:28.720 and when it came to fumble recoveries, one two, three, four, 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:34.280 five six, and that's it. Every other game there was 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:35.640 interceptions and fumbling. 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.200 What was the record last year twelve twive five. 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:45.559 Yeah, So it's a recipe for success. Fall behind, fall behind, win. 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:49.040 They turnover differential exactly, and then you know the other 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:54.920 part of that is if you're getting takeaways, you're making 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.679 it usually easier on your offense. Chances are you're getting 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:05.720 better field positions. But conversely, if you're scoring points on offense, 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.800 then the opposing offense has to take chances. And they 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:14.960 never really got Arizona to a point where the pressure's on. 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.520 We got to score and they should have had it 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.400 at twenty one sixteen and then one. 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.760 Play pressure was the pressure was on Arizona on that 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.360 possession and it took one because if they go three 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:33.400 and out, cowboys are in position.

Cowboys players have their regular day off 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:41.440 today they start in earnest preparing for the New England 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:45.280 Patriots tomorrow. And of course, last night we had two 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:49.880 games played. The Eagles remain unbeaten, where they twenty five 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:54.600 to eleven win over the previously unbeaten Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:58.800 and the Bengals got a yeoman effort from Joe Burrow 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:02.720 playing hurt to beat the Rams last night for their 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.920 first win of the season. So there are three unbeaten 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:10.040 teams in the NFL through three weeks of the season. 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.440 That shows what parody does for you. 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:13.119 In this league. 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:17.120 It's Philadelphia, it's San Francisco who the Cowboys will play 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.560 next week, and it's the Miami Dolphins who put up 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.040 seventy points. And by the way, how about the matchup 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.760 this week Miami Buffalo? 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:27.119 Oh really yeah? 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:27.679 I like that? 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:28.879 Yeah, very good. 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:29.159 A good one. 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.840 It's a I believe it's a noon game on Sunday, 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:37.520 A rare marquee matchup in the noon window on Sundays. 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:39.040 Tony Romo getting that game. 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.280 That would be interesting. I'm not I would imagine it would. 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.320 I mean, I'd ship them a lot of times, a 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.080 lot of times one crew, but a lot of times 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:51.360 the networks will make the decisions on what games are 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:53.800 getting in the first month of the season. That they 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:57.320 make the decision before the season even starts. But I 0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:00.879 can see that they would have already assigned him and 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:03.359 Nance to that game at the outset of the season, 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:06.000 albeit at being a noon game. Usually he gets the 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:07.280 three to twenty five game. 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:08.520 All right, here's a question. 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:12.320 Wait, before we got right, I was gonna say advice 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:16.560 to the Dallas Cowboys after watching the Philadelphia game last night. 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.720 They've got to November fifth to get their offensive line 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:27.359 back together because the Georgia line. Holy Kyle, those monsters. 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.399 Is that the name of a group Georgia. No, I 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:34.560 don't know a country, something country. 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:37.080 Geordia, Georgia line, Ordia, Georgia line. 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:39.879 Okay, well, this is just the Georgia line. 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:40.600 Okay. 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:44.240 Well, and speaking of offensive line, if I were to 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:48.679 tell you, yes, at the beginning of training camp, okay, 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.639 not just on offense, but the Cowboys are going to 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:54.199 play a game this season where they don't have Trayvon 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:58.520 Diggs and Marquise Bell is your third linebacker, Okay, which 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:00.320 is what the way they've been playing at the last 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:04.480 three weeks. Okay, But I'm saying I'm asking this question 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:07.200 the beginning of training camp, when we had no idea 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:09.200 that Marquise Bell would be a linebacker. 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.240 He was a safety. Okay, all right. 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.720 But more importantly, they're going to play a game this 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:21.000 season in which Tchuma Edogas starts at left tackle, Tyler 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.639 Smith plays his first game of the season at left guard. 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:29.320 Brock Hoffman play is your starting center, TJ Bass is 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:31.919 your starting right guard, and Terrence Steel at right tackle. 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.760 What would you say, regardless of who the opponent is, 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.560 what would you say the chances are the Cowboys win 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:39.520 that game? If I asked you that question at the 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:40.440 beginning of training. 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:42.360 Camp, I would have say they got shut out. 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:49.120 I would fair have Basically, as important as it is 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:52.679 to have healthy offensive linemen in this league, and you 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:55.760 can point to the Rams last year, the Super Bowl 0:19:55.840 --> 0:20:00.920 champions from the year before, who lost a previously Pro 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:04.920 Bowl left tackle and Andrew Whitworth to retirement, and then 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:05.800 they had. 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:07.200 So many injuries during the season. 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:11.760 We saw what happened to that team last year, and 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:15.919 there are others too. We saw Philadelphia remain healthy throughout 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:18.280 the year on their offensive line until the very end 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:20.359 when Lane Johnson had to nurse an injury in the 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:23.560 last game of the season, basically, and we. 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:24.840 Saw what Philadelphia did. 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:28.480 Yeah, I think you're probably seeing this year with the 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:30.679 teams that are getting off to quick starts, that the 0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:34.639 offensive lines are healthy. But it's so important to have 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:37.560 a healthy offensive line. That's not an excuse for what 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:41.720 happened on Sunday, but it's just reality in this league. 0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:46.360 And even as Brian Schottenheimer said in his press conference yesterday, 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:50.840 those guys played well, but it's very difficult for an 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:54.679 offensive line to be thrown together, especially the way this 0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:57.600 one was this past week with the injuries coming late 0:20:57.600 --> 0:20:59.679 in the week where they didn't get the reps in 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:02.159 practic is for them to be able to function as 0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:04.520 an offense, which I think has a lot to do 0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:07.639 with the play calling that we saw in this game, 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:10.639 especially late in the game after the Michael Gallup throwing 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:15.320 the end zone that is not Mike McCarthy like to 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.400 run with from the five and a half minute mark 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:21.080 to the three minute mark in the game, where time 0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:23.520 is of the essence to run five straight rushing plays. 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:25.640 But I think he felt like he had to do 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:28.480 that because of what he had upfront on his offensive line. 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:31.000 Oh, I think he was scared of it. And I'm 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:33.480 going to throw one more at you. Just think back 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:38.399 to remember the Super Bowl when Kansas City got beat 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:43.159 and they had like three different offensive linemen. 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.720 And what they did in the off season after that they. 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:51.160 Shored agency, which is yes, absolutely so no, you're you're 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:54.520 exactly right on that. And even Mike McCarthy said, my 0:21:54.680 --> 0:22:00.760 bad that I've got to learn now any probably knew it, 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:05.440 but I'm going to get my backups more snaps in practice. 0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:08.600 And remember they only have so many so much time 0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:12.240 in practice, right. But those guys that you just mentioned 0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:17.359 barely got any practice right because they thought, well, they 0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:22.800 would have had some early because they knew Zach was 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:26.280 in practicing. But the Beyaddish thing crops up, and then 0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:30.960 Tyron Smith thing crops up on Saturday, right, and so 0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:32.440 those guys are out there. 0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:36.159 I think you basically with Tyron, you basically have because 0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:40.040 of track record the last several years that and where 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:42.680 he is in his career, and now Zach Martin is 0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:46.560 at that point that the age wise thirty three years old, 0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:50.240 that you you've got to make sure that that the 0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:52.560 backup offensive linemen are ready to go. Even when it 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:55.920 appears on the injury report that you're good on Thursday, 0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:57.320 you may not be good by Sunday. 0:22:57.560 --> 0:23:01.520 Have we anticipated when these guys could make our return potentially? 0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:02.520 Has anyone said anything? 0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:06.800 No, they have not. I think Stephen Jones mentioned that 0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:09.320 there was a chance that they would get back, but 0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:11.719 he said, we got to see how the week goes along. 0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:15.000 So I think they're Usually it makes. 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:17.400 The decision easy if they have an injury that puts 0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:19.240 them out for four weeks and you put them on IR. 0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:23.440 Now you're you're getting the young guys reps in practice. 0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:27.600 And you're talking to guys starting Hoffman and Bass that 0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:32.280
