I've had to do a bet payoff 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.799 every single week. I think the next one I have 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.040 to dress up like missed out fire please please okay? 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:12.840 I up? 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:13.800 God? 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:17.079 Please no, please do it on our show too?

And the reason why I didn't do it 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:33.079 last week was because I didn't want to embarrass the cowboys. 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.519 I didn't want to show up, you know, like, Okay, 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.519 what are you doing, you know, like, why are you 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.600 showing up like you look like Missus Doubtfire and then 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.200 do the show and then people wondering because you know, 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.240 this is a big time program.

I 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:31.920 talked about some guys you could sign yesterday. Yeah, so 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:37.120 stay tuned to Dallascowboys dot Com and to one four 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.280 Star Telegram and win O five to three the fam. 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:40.719 Yeah, there's plenty of options out there. 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:42.640 Yeah, plenty of options. We're all team, We're all teammates. 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:45.240 We are we absolutely all right. Let's talk about I 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:46.479 had a couple of questions for you, guys. 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.520 We're gonna hit real quick before we get to our 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.440 first break and then go inside the mind of Brian 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.919 brought us. Let's first start with the first quarter recap 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:54.200 questions that I had for you. 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.039 What would you like to see from. 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.880 Each coordinator over the second quarter of the season to 0:05:58.920 --> 0:05:59.720 improve their units. 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:01.360 Let's start first with Mike McCarthy. 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.480 Okay, to say McCarthy or Shottenheimer here now we're. 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.320 Talking, well, let's say MacCarthy. He's calling the players. 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:07.720 Let's say maccarth And by the way, you can do 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.719 it as a group, just say the offensive coordinators or 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.279 the guys that are responsible for the coordinating of the offense. 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:14.360 The offensive decision makers. 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.240 Yeah, I think on the offensive side of the ball, 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.920 I just want to see more creativity. I think when 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:24.039 you have a running game that is non useful, when 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.400 you have a passing game that is a little stagnant times, 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.800 especially in second halves of games. I think all you 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:30.359 need to do is just up the creativity, whether that 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.039 be in the run game, you know, opening up some 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.200 different type of running lanes for guys like Rico Doubt 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.440 or Douce Fawn or even Ezekiel Elliott. In the past game, 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.160 you utilize some more pre snap motion. They have been 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:42.520 bottom in the one of the bottom teams in the 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.719 league and utilizing pre snap motion through these first four weeks. 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.359 I just want to see a little bit more creativity. 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.120 It's been you go, you line up, you get in 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.480 a very traditional formation, and you run the traditional route, 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.960 and it's been very predictable. And I think that's why 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.520 we look at second halves of games. Teams are able 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.800 to adjust a lot easier to the offensive side of 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:02.839 the ball, and that's why we haven't necessarily seen a 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:04.600 ton of production from the offensive side of the ball 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.560 and second halves other than that fourth quarter against Baltimore. 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.920 So I think you look around on the offense side 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.240 of the ball, just creativity. 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:13.840 Brian has said it perfectly. 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.280 He's like, I think we need to get some guys 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.160 in the in the scouting department to go look at 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.040 McVeigh shanahan and pull plays from. 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:21.480 Them every week. 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.400 It would be fantastic. I think it just pull some creativity, 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.520 find some creativity. Eye browless, Brian. 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:32.600 I'll just see Brian smile right now, Brian, Bryan. 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:35.440 Face there, I go. 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.280 I give you that Uncle Fester family. 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:43.360 It's so terrifying. I can't lie. 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:45.679 Oh my god. 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:48.400 No. 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:52.880 I absolutely agree with the creativity part of it, but 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:57.120 also preparation, prepare better, you know, during the week, And 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.160 that's something that's come up already like this, what are 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.440 you doing during the week to prepare for the game 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:06.239 ahead of you? We've seen this offense and of course 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.120 you had a different person in the last season with 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:14.040 different players now playing for you, but you've seen how 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.400 certain players can be effective. You know you have talent 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.080 on the team. Now bring it all together. Why does 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.080 it take so many games for your offense to get going? 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:26.480 Why can't And I say this like it's very easy, 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:30.760 but going back to how the season ended, not counting 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.480 Green Bay, but prior to that second half of the 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:39.079 year last year, last season, your offense was being very productive. 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.920 It was running and it was fast, and everybody was 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:45.319 connecting and Dak was playing a very very good game. 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:49.640 So I'm just I'm just wondering, like, why is it 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.280 so hard to kind of jump back on track to 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.360 where you were, where you kind of left off. 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.800 Could it be that your best offensive player wasn't a 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:57.440 training camp. 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:02.080 I mean absolutely, that's an option there. He was absent, 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.760 and you notice how that actually did affect the connection 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.720 with Dak Prescott and I think last game. I think 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.120 he started showing some progress there this last game, and 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.400 hopefully this is the turning point where things start. We 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.760 call this the forty nine ers game where it was 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.200 the turning point last year for Ceedee, Lamb and Dak. 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:26.840 Hopefully it happened last week. But I would say, just 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:31.560 prepare better, whatever that means. There's no reason why anybody 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.520 should question the way you practice during the week. 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.600 We can talk about the defense here too, can't we. 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:39.280 Well, we're gonna get to them. We're gonna start with 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.320 the offense and want. 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:42.840 To see I get confused every once in a while, 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:47.120 have to be put on the right path. The thing 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:51.200 that I want to see is that we the creativity part. 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.480 I think you guys nailed it totally. I want to 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:58.520 see an offense that doesn't feel like it's struggling to 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:02.360 get yards, you know. I mean, maybe it's the execution, 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:06.240 maybe it's the play calling, maybe it's the actual plays itself. 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.440 But why would I watch everybody else? It feels like 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:13.720 their offense just flows, you know, and maybe that maybe 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.560 the Lions are a bad example last night, you know, 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.120 maybe that's a bad I mean, Ben Johnson when he 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.960 gets that thing on the rails, it is really pretty 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:25.360 to watch, you know, you watch him, You watch the 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.439 guy in San Francisco, you watch the guy in Miami's 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.720 having some problems right now because his quarterback's out, you know. 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:34.839 But I just what I'd love to see them find 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:38.520 a way to do is make this offense easy again. 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.880 There was times when Dak you know, and sometimes it 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.840 happens when you play the Commanders back in the day, 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.080 or the Giants back in the day, or you play 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.280 teams that don't have the personnel to kind of match. 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.040 You, the offense just looks beautiful. 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.959 I mean, it's just Dak gets They're moving the balls 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.400 going across the field. Though there's a tight end delay, 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:00.200 there's a you know, there's there's things about it that 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.440 just flows, and it doesn't seem like that. 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:03.480 It's a grind. 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.040 I feel like right now I'm watching an offense that's grinding, 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.280 you know, and I mean grinding in a bad way. 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:14.400 That they don't second down first downs, you know, first 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:18.000 down first downs, you know, big plays, explosive plays. I 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.240 just feel like it's kind of a it's like getting 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.240 in third and two all day. You know, it just 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.240 isn't It isn't flowing like it needs And I wish 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:29.240 he could find that flow. I wish he could find 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:33.160 it where it's easy again, for the quarterback, for the receiver, 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:34.080 the tight. 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.760 End, the line, everybody involved. Just a little bit of 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:37.920 a just an. 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:41.760 Easier way of manipulating offense because the way the rules are, 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:45.000 they'll let you manipulate offense. But you got to take 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.880 advantage of that. With the picks and things like that. 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:49.600 You can kind of set yourself up with. 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:51.400 Let's flip over to the defensive side. 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.199 What would you like to see from a Zimmer and 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.240 the defense going into second half? What would you like 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:57.920 to coordinate or to maybe do differently. 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:00.800 I just want to see consistency, whatever that looks like 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:05.160 from a coordinator perspective, consistency with the front specifically. I mean, 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.960 we talked yesterday about Mazzie Smith and him having an 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:11.120 awesome game on Thursday night, but it's it's about stacking 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.560 those games for their actual actually be confidence going forward 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:18.680 in the defensive front without having Micah Parsons DeMarcus Lawrence 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.199 for these next few weeks, consistency is going to be 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.560 more important now than ever with guys like Marshawn Neil 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.160 and Chauncey Golston, Tyrs Sweet and anyone else that they 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:27.040 might sign. 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:27.679 As time goes on. 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.160 But even in the secondary, I mean we can look 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.000 at the secondary too, there's been some inconsistencies there. Is 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.040 it a product of having a rookie fifth round pick 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:40.000 on one of your corners, absolutely, But on that same token, 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.000 you're getting Deron Blandbeck, you would think in the next 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.880 couple of weeks, probably before the bye week. So once 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:46.920 you get him back, okay, well then there's no excuse 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.520 to not stack consistency there in the secondary moving forward, 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.160 but specifically at the safety position, I feel like that's 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.160 been at times some of the most inconsistent group, one 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.440 of the more inconsistent groups, just because you know, they 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.360 allow a big pass player. They allow a running running 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:01.880 back to be able to break off with a huge 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.640 game because they take a bad angle. So again, I 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:06.240 think the defensive side of the ball had a great 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.480 game on Thursday night. It's just about stacking those games. 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.280 Consistency is so important moving forward. 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.320 I hate this question because I don't have an answer 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:19.199 because right now, after how you left that game, and again, 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.920 I know these are the two key players right now 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:26.680 with as far as injuries, DeMarcus Lawrence and Mike parts 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:34.360 Band coming back throwing him being out. Yeah, but even then, 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:38.360 I'm curious to see how the practice report looks like 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.840 this week because there were plenty of other guys that 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:42.760 also came out at a certain time, and we know 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.400 that they can go back and finish a game, but 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.720 then during the week something pops up. So I'm curious 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:50.440 to see how long that list is going to be. 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.120 And I feel like the defense right now is just 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:55.600 in survival mode. It's like, okay, do we even have 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:59.320 enough guys to be out there? So I don't know 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:05.240 what my advice or opinion is as far as what 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.680 to do with Mike Zimmer other than try to keep 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:12.559 this defense together and everyone really focused on doing their job. 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:14.920 If there was something to point out, and something that 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:18.840 was talked about prior to last game was everyone focusing 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.240 on their own role. But can you actually do that 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.400 when you have so many younger players in there that 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.920 potentially do need help from the veteran guy next to them. 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.720 So it's just it's a tough moment for this defense 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.040 right now, and I don't know what the answer is currently. 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.440 Yeah, I would like to see them and this is 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:37.280 going to sound crazy because right now they're not a 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:40.440 very good group. I want to see people start to 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.240 throw the ball on you again, because you're built to 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:47.480 rush the passer. Here now we're down guys. So it 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.360 seems like forever the strength of this team is its 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:52.040 ability to rush the passer. And then all of a 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.360 sudden there's no pass rush. Why is there no pass rush? 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.480 Because you're getting the ball run on you? You know, 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.640 I mean much better last week. You saw what happened though, 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.280 when you can force somebody to throw the ball. The 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.760 Giants had to throw. Yeah, the Giants made some plays 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:08.040 on you, but it wasn't this constant just running the 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:11.640 ball down your throat type of a situation. So Mike's 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:12.640 gonna need some magic. 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:13.840 He really really is. 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.640 He's banged up bad. And it's not an excuse. It's 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.520 just it's the NFL and you you got to figure 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.680 out how you know, I mean, these guys that are 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:24.400 rookies aren't really rookies anymore. 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:26.680 This is week five of the NFL season. 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:30.760 You know, you know, overshown and those guys who have 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:34.560 played kneeling, you know that haven't played, they played five games. 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.840 You know, you're not really a rookie anymore. You gotta 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:41.520 go play, Carson, you gotta go play. You know, we 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:42.440 don't have time. 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:44.880 I mean, like say, watching Detroit last night. 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:47.960 I'm terrified watching them play, you know, because they've got 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:49.760 these receivers, they got a running game. 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:51.160 They're coming in here in a couple of weeks. 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.920 Yeah, you're gonna play Pittsburgh, who traditionally is a very 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.800 physical team the way they play, and you're gonna probably 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.440 get beat up in that game. And so these next 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.920 two weeks going to be a huge challenge for Mike 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.040 Zimmer in this in this staff. But they need every 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:09.840 one of those guys that we call rookie players to 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:14.920 play white veterans and not not be any liabilities, uh 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:16.880 to hopefully getting them off the field. 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:18.600 I'll tell you what I want to see from from 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.280 the defensive coordinator particularly is I want to see him 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.200 get a little more creative and how they're going to 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:24.160 generate a pass rush. 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:25.400 I think they have to at this point. 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:27.320 I don't think they can line up and say, hey, 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.480 we're going to bring our four and that's how we're 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:30.720 going to run it. I think he's going to have 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:31.680 to come use safeties. 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:32.600 You'll have to use. 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:36.760 Tach cornerbacks, slot have to use the linebackers. Uh, They'll 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:38.800 have to do everything they can creatively. 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:40.480 Not but they got him to pass. 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:41.320 Yeah, But that's the thing. 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:43.520 The hope is that what we saw last week from 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.960 the standpoint of the running game stopping the running game 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.800 can continue. And if they can continue that, if you 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.200 can get Mozzi to keep playing like he has like 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.240 he did last week, I think that's a big start 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:55.040 right right, And if you can then use and I 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.480 think Neiland will be fine as a as a run defender. 0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:59.760 I think Golston can be fine as a run defender. 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:01.920 So if they can continue what they started last week 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:04.920 in the run or stopping the run, then it becomes 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:07.199 a situation of how do you create pressure and if 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.120 they're creative and how they're bringing pressure. 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:10.680 I think that may help them at. 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:13.919 Least give you a few weeks to get by without 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.080 the likes of of of Michael Parsons. 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.000 We know it's going to be long before DeMarcus Who is. 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.840 This team's best pass rusher right now? Is it Chauncey golsten. 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:22.679 Well? 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:25.440 Is it to Marvin Overshown. 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.440 I was about to say it's probably one of the linebackers. 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:29.919 It might be Osa, it could be might be your 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:30.600 best pass rusher. 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:32.720 He started the year really hot last year in the 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:34.800 LAS rush department. I think he racked up three sacks 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:36.560 in the first five games and then he just went away. 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.160 So I did a lot of pressures. 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.960 He needs Mazie to keep playing well next to him though, 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:43.560 I mean that would that would help a lot. 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:44.359 But yeah, they don't. 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:46.760 You're I think to Derek's point is you're gonna have 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.080 to bring more than four. You know, you're gonna have 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:54.120 to find ways to create opportunities without without looking at Pittsburgh, 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.560 but just TV copy stuff. I'll get on them this evening. 0:17:56.680 --> 0:18:00.560 Know with the offense, make fields throw the football. 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:02.280 You know, I'll take my chances. 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:04.879 Don't let him beat me running the ball, you know, 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.160 don't let me. Don't let me have to deal with that. 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.840 Make him drop back and have to read field and 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:11.480 throw ball. 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:13.680 He's the most dangerous runner they got to Yeah. 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:15.640 That's that's what I'm saying. I mean there, But they're 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.880 down offensive lineman. They had another guy loss for the season. 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.200 They're gonna have some backup dudes in their playing. 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:23.280 We saw what happened in week one when you play 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:27.399 backup dudes against the Cowboys. But now we're playing backup dudes. 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.440 So it's it's it's pretty it's it's pretty wild. How 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:32.880 this week five, we're already doing this kind of stuff. 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:34.680 All right, let's take our first rake.

Hope it makes 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:44.480 you think a little bit. And by the way, I 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:45.440 don't give these. 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:47.280 Guys these questions if you're wondering out there. 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:49.320 So this is kind of off the top of their heads, 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:51.360 which I appreciate a lot. 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:52.960 You know what else, I'll just mention real quick. You 0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:55.359 mentioned one O five dot three the fan. I've noticed 0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:57.480 sometimes you use us as guinea pisces because you'll take our. 0:21:57.800 --> 0:21:58.880 Question, this question. 0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:01.359 Those over there, and I'm hearing those guys, I'm like, 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:02.399 they didn't have our answers. 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:04.800 No, That's what I love about it. I guess you 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:06.920 get all kinds of answer. You get all different platforms too. 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:09.080 If everybody listens to you on all these platforms, you're 0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:11.439 on the good for them. Yeah, but it kind of 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:13.800 if you depend on what platform you're on. Nick Carris, 0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:16.640 I'll start with you on this one. If you could 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:19.560 ask Jerry Jones or Mike McCarthy one question and get 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:21.760 an in depth, honest answer, what would it be. 0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:24.080 The question I asked last week? 0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:27.880 No, let me, you're gonna get an If you asked 0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:30.440 this question, you're going to get an in depth, honest 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:31.640 answer about it. 0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:38.399 In depth, honest to answer. Is there really confidence in 0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:42.320 the running back situation right now? Is there actually confidence 0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:45.200 in the running back situation? And that that factors in 0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:47.960 Dalvin Cook, that factors in everybody that's on the team 0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:50.960 right now, that factors in draft strategy from from last 0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:54.320 April where how has the running game gotten to this 0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:56.919 point and how is there still confidence moving forward? I 0:22:56.920 --> 0:22:59.480 would love to hear an honest answer on that. I 0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:01.520 don't feel I don't feel like that will That'll be 0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:01.880 one though. 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:04.080 You don't feel like you don't feel like because they 0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:04.879 do talk about it. 0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:06.760 Oh, surely they talk about it, but there's no way 0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:09.000 they actually feel that there's that much confidence. 0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:12.240 But the in depth, honestly answer, I'm looking at you 0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:19.440 guys for no Derek, what you got on that one? 0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:22.239 If you can ask Jerry Jones or Mike McCarthy one 0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:26.359 question and get an in depth, honest answer, would that question. 0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:28.920 It would be along the lines of what Nick asked, 0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:32.479 but it would be why why weren't they able to 0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:35.440 go after one of those running backs in free agency 0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:38.080 in the offseason. I heard somebody say this the other day, 0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:40.439 and I haven't checked these numbers, so forgive me if 0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:43.240 they aren't completely accurate. But the amount of money that 0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:46.919 right now Trey Lance counts on the salary cap against 0:23:46.960 --> 0:23:49.960 the salary cap is very close to the amount of 0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:53.919 money Dereck Henry is counting against the salary cap in Baltimore. Sure, 0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:57.080 And so then the question becomes like how much. 0:23:57.400 --> 0:23:59.040 I mean, were they sure they were gonna do the 0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:00.440 deal with no, no, no. 0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:02.000 And again. And that's the point, and there's a lot 0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:02.280 of this. 0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:04.240 That's why I would want to have a real in 0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:07.640 depth conversation, like walk me through where you guys were 0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:09.280 at that time, because I know right now it's easy 0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:11.439 in retrospect to say that you didn't know what the 0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:12.879 deal was going to end up being with DAK, you 0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:14.280 didn't know what the deal was going to end up 0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:16.560 being with CD so, but I would love to just 0:24:16.600 --> 0:24:19.280 sit and be able to talk from that standpoint of Okay, 0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:21.320 talk me through where you were on the cap at 0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:24.000 that point and why you didn't think you could come 0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:25.760 up with the right amount of money to go out 0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:27.760 and get in. And I'm not talking about Derek Henry specifically, 0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:29.920 I'm just saying in general, the running backs that were 0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:32.280 out there this last offseason, there were a number of them, 0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:36.600 and even some that were relatively cheap. Why couldn't you 0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:38.800 find that money to be able to do that? And 0:24:38.880 --> 0:24:42.280 were you really sold that what you already had, whether 0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:44.720 that be with Rico or whether that be with bringing 0:24:44.800 --> 0:24:47.800 in Zeke or with douce Von, Like what did they 0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:49.919 change that opinion for you because you looked at them 0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:51.920 and you said, I really have a good feeling about 0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:53.960 one of them, so there's no need to go out 0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:56.160 and spend in free agency. I'd really love to know 0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:57.840 a little more about how that came about. 0:24:57.960 --> 0:25:01.240 Trey Lance's cap number five point three million for twenty 0:25:01.280 --> 0:25:04.000 twenty four, Dereck Henry five point one million. But the 0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:06.119 factor is next year's cap number for Dereck. 0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:08.440 Henry's nearly eleven. So that's that's probably. 0:25:08.200 --> 0:25:09.359 What could that have been? 0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:11.440 Something too with if you look at what the dead 0:25:11.480 --> 0:25:15.359 money you owe Zeke plus the current money, if you 0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:18.399 add those two together eight Yeah. Does that that that 0:25:18.560 --> 0:25:20.240 hurts you? I mean, is that one of the reasons 0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:22.960 why they couldn't do it? Because they deterred They said, Okay, 0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:25.840 we got Zeke dead money plus the money we're gonna 0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:27.520 give him for being on the roster. 0:25:27.680 --> 0:25:30.000 Well, we heard Jerry say, I think it was during 0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:32.800 training camp he said with Zeke, well, some of that 0:25:32.880 --> 0:25:35.439 money's already spent. Yeah, And I think that's what he 0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:37.880 was talking about, was like they got dead money on him, 0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:40.520 so it's almost like, you know, we're already paying for him, 0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:42.320 so you might as well have him back that you're 0:25:42.320 --> 0:25:44.399 already paying for it, right, But I think I remembered 0:25:44.440 --> 0:25:46.359 him saying that during training camp that he says something 0:25:46.400 --> 0:25:46.879 to that effect. 0:25:46.960 --> 0:25:49.320 But hey, g you got something for me on that one. 0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:53.359 One question you could ask the boss man and the coach. 0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:58.679 Well, I do like the running back question that Nick proposed, 0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:01.560 But something else that I would want to know is like, 0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:06.800 why did it actually take so long to get a 0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:11.320 deal done with CD? Because you already knew you wanted 0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:14.520 him here, You could already expect I mean by that time, 0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:17.359 earlier on than training camp, you had an idea of 0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:20.359 what that number was going to look like. So what 0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:24.520 was the point? And you've seen it happen with other 0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:26.919 ends during the time we were talking about people holding 0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:29.919 out that history has shown that they do end up 0:26:30.000 --> 0:26:33.880 paying the player, So why wait when you knew how 0:26:33.960 --> 0:26:41.320 much the crucial aspect of this season, everything that's on 0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:43.919 the line, you're saying all in and all of this 0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:47.879 and city not happening. I mean, now you're seeing the 0:26:47.920 --> 0:26:51.399 effects of it. But yeah, that one was one that 0:26:51.440 --> 0:26:54.159 I guess I still have questions in my head, like 0:26:54.240 --> 0:26:56.600 why why did it actually take that long. 0:26:56.840 --> 0:26:57.080 Yeah. 0:26:57.119 --> 0:27:01.359 I think mine is is you always say that personnel 0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:04.000 is a three sixty five twenty four to seven job. 0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:07.159 It kind of seems like personnel around here is a 0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:10.199 January to the end of April job. You know, when 0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:12.200 you look when you start to talk about now, hey, 0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:15.280 they they're working on something to help their team. I 0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:17.639 mean that, well, we can't get into right now. But 0:27:18.280 --> 0:27:20.280 I just wonder, I mean, is it really with that 0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:24.040 or are you just so draft dependent that you just say, 0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:27.600 you know what, we can't we can't do anything, you know. 0:27:27.880 --> 0:27:28.920 And I'd love for them. 0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:31.199 To somebody to say, like to Jerry, to say, we 0:27:31.320 --> 0:27:33.480 believe in the draft, we want to work the draft. 0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:35.879 We don't want to we've been burned in free agency before. 0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:38.160 We don't want to play in free agency. If somebody 0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:40.840 would come out and tell me that, then I would 0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:45.440 have a better feel for you know, I like to me, personnel, 0:27:45.440 --> 0:27:48.840 when you say it's three sixty five twenty four seven, 0:27:49.320 --> 0:27:53.880 I believe you. That's pro personnel, that's college, that's everything involved. 0:27:54.040 --> 0:27:56.639 You know, at times I don't feel that's really the 0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:57.120 case here. 0:27:57.359 --> 0:28:00.159 You know, I'll throw this little caveat copy caveat at 0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:02.359 you I don't know if it stops at April, it 0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:04.280 just takes a hiatus in at the end of it, 0:28:04.440 --> 0:28:05.240 oh yeapl and. 0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:05.680 Then it doesn't. 0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:08.119 It doesn't happen during free agency, but then it starts 0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:10.200 back up in August, because in August they'll go out 0:28:10.200 --> 0:28:13.119 and get those bargain change that. 0:28:13.320 --> 0:28:15.719 Yeah, It's just I wonder if it really you know, 0:28:15.760 --> 0:28:18.080 because you're really really good at this draft and stuff, 0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:20.239 and at times you could be really good at this 0:28:20.280 --> 0:28:23.520 pro personnel stuff, you know, but it just seems like 0:28:23.720 --> 0:28:25.520 to me, it's not. 0:28:26.080 --> 0:28:29.720 Always March is not their time, not marches at their time. 0:28:30.040 --> 0:28:31.960 All right, Derek, I got a question for you here. 0:28:32.119 --> 0:28:34.520 All right, what's the biggest thing holding this team. 0:28:34.320 --> 0:28:39.840 Back as of right now? It would have to be 0:28:40.200 --> 0:28:43.240 the defense. And what I mean by that is I 0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:45.480 still have to see more to believe that the run 0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:49.360 defense is fixed. And now you've just exacerbated that problem 0:28:49.400 --> 0:28:52.920 because you've lost your two best pass defenders and and 0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:57.360 and a really good run defender in in in tank. 0:28:57.800 --> 0:29:00.640 So those two things I think right now, the biggest 0:29:00.640 --> 0:29:03.000 problem they have right now is their defense. Their offense 0:29:03.080 --> 0:29:05.040 just needs to get clicking. I think their offense is very, 0:29:05.120 --> 0:29:07.400 very capable, and if they're gonna win games during this period, 0:29:07.440 --> 0:29:09.040 they're gonna have to outscore a lot of teams. So 0:29:09.360 --> 0:29:11.360 I have faith in the offense that they'll get it right. 0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:14.320 The defense, though, I'm very, very, very worried. 0:29:14.080 --> 0:29:18.560 About, Hey, g biggest thing holding this team back, I 0:29:18.600 --> 0:29:23.280 mean injuries at the moment. But other than that, and 0:29:23.320 --> 0:29:25.680 other than the defense, I mean, I have to go 0:29:25.760 --> 0:29:28.280 with the running game. And we've already were tired of 0:29:28.320 --> 0:29:30.880 talking about it, but it's like we're heading we're in 0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:35.680 what week five now, and you've had plenty of time. Yes, 0:29:37.000 --> 0:29:39.600 you've had plenty of time, I feel like to try 0:29:39.680 --> 0:29:43.680 different things with the running game and even see what 0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:48.720 you have in Dalvin Cook, and you haven't tried that yet. 0:29:48.840 --> 0:29:53.840 So it just sometimes you see them making certain choices 0:29:54.240 --> 0:29:57.800 or decisions that just doesn't make a lot of sense 0:29:57.960 --> 0:30:01.000 to the outsider. And I get it. It's different perspective 0:30:01.000 --> 0:30:04.040 from in there where you're seeing every single practice full 0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:07.480 on and being with these guys. But as a viewer, 0:30:07.600 --> 0:30:13.880 as an spectator, did I say that a spectator? You 0:30:13.920 --> 0:30:15.800 scratch your hand, You're like, what are we doing here? 0:30:15.880 --> 0:30:19.280 Why don't you you know? So it's just we shouldn't 0:30:19.320 --> 0:30:22.200 be at this point in Week five trying to figure 0:30:22.200 --> 0:30:25.960 out how this offense can score more points. Last week 0:30:26.360 --> 0:30:30.080 they did okay, they scored two touchdowns, but at the 0:30:30.080 --> 0:30:32.560 same time, it was against the Giants that you expected 0:30:32.600 --> 0:30:35.360 them to or me to be a lot better and 0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:37.600 it wasn't there. So I think it's just gonna be. 0:30:37.960 --> 0:30:40.840 It's gonna get tougher with the next upcoming teams. 0:30:41.120 --> 0:30:42.760 Nick biggest thing holding this team back. 0:30:42.840 --> 0:30:45.160 I think it's the same thing from as I probably 0:30:45.160 --> 0:30:48.520 would have said in Week eighteen last year. And no 0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:50.840 one likes this label being put on them, So it's 0:30:50.840 --> 0:30:52.920 probably gonna ruffle a couple of feathers because I've tried 0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:54.360 touching this topic with certain players. 0:30:54.400 --> 0:30:55.040 They didn't like it. 0:30:55.440 --> 0:30:58.000 But this is not a physical football team. It's not 0:30:58.040 --> 0:30:59.800 a physical football team on either side of the ball. 0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:01.480 And when you look at it on paper, they can't 0:31:01.520 --> 0:31:05.640 run the ball, they can't stop the run, there's discipline issues. 0:31:05.920 --> 0:31:09.800 This is not a physical football team. And I think 0:31:09.840 --> 0:31:12.040 if they can up the physicality and they can have 0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:15.760 a reputation like a Pittsburgh you know, like when you say, yeah, 0:31:15.760 --> 0:31:17.920 they're gonna go play Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh's gonna beat you up 0:31:17.920 --> 0:31:19.840 because they're no to do that. No one's saying that 0:31:19.840 --> 0:31:21.600 about the Cowboys. They haven't said about the Cowboys in 0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:23.920 a long time. I think that is the biggest thing 0:31:23.920 --> 0:31:25.680 holding this team back, because when you look at teams 0:31:25.680 --> 0:31:28.400 that are still playing late in January or in February, 0:31:28.520 --> 0:31:30.000 the Chiefs are going to beat you up. Forty nine 0:31:30.080 --> 0:31:32.440 Ers are going to beat you up. The Lions, the Bengals, 0:31:32.440 --> 0:31:34.600 the Ravens, whatever it is. Those teams are physical, and 0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:36.440 those teams are typically the ones that are playing deep 0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:38.560 into the playoffs. I think that's the biggest thing holding 0:31:38.560 --> 0:31:41.960 this team back. And it would take a lot, i think, 0:31:42.160 --> 0:31:45.160 and it would be a multi year problem solution to 0:31:45.200 --> 0:31:47.160 be able to fix that problem going forward. 0:31:47.240 --> 0:31:49.320 And you know, it's interesting you look at a team 0:31:49.400 --> 0:31:53.840 like Detroit and that head coach Dan Campbell, and when 0:31:53.840 --> 0:31:56.080 he got there, one of the things he talked about, 0:31:56.120 --> 0:31:58.760 it's kind of obviously became a meme, but he's. 0:31:58.600 --> 0:31:59.480 Like, we're biting me. 0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:03.080 Yeah, we're gonna be physical, we're gonna be mean, we're 0:32:03.120 --> 0:32:05.600 gonna be tough. That wasn't what they were when he 0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:08.840 got there. But i'd be darned if right now they 0:32:08.880 --> 0:32:12.040 are exactly that. Right now that they are a physical 0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:14.960 football team, they get after you and and so to 0:32:15.040 --> 0:32:18.680 your point, I do wonder if you know certain coaches 0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:22.680 have just the way of creating that physical whatever that is. 0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:26.240 Yeah, right, And I don't. 0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:28.040 Know what it is, but I know when he got 0:32:28.040 --> 0:32:30.360 there it wasn't that. And what I know now is 0:32:30.400 --> 0:32:33.640 it is so somehow that coach, whether it was the 0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:36.320 types of players that they brought in, personal change, whether 0:32:36.400 --> 0:32:39.720 it was the mindset that he instilled in them, whether 0:32:39.760 --> 0:32:42.640 it was how they practice, whether it was how they 0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:45.040 trained like there could be a lot of different factors. 0:32:45.120 --> 0:32:46.960 I don't know because I'm not there. I just know 0:32:47.000 --> 0:32:50.120 the end product is they weren't a physical football team. 0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:52.719 He said they would be a physical football team. They 0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:54.280 are now a physical football team. 0:32:54.400 --> 0:32:56.360 I think it's probably all of those factors wrapped up. 0:32:56.360 --> 0:32:58.640 But I think more so than anything, it's personnel changes. 0:32:58.640 --> 0:33:00.920 Because there's some guys that you have in any locker room. 0:33:00.960 --> 0:33:02.880 I'm not talking about this one specifically, but in any 0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:05.280 locker room that are just bad apples towards certain things. 0:33:05.320 --> 0:33:07.280 And I think when you look at the physicality department, 0:33:07.440 --> 0:33:09.479 there's players on this team that are just not physical 0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:12.040 and they never will be, and that's that's their play style. 0:33:12.080 --> 0:33:14.400 And you know, you look up mid twenties, early thirties, 0:33:14.480 --> 0:33:15.360 that's your play style. 0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:18.000 And I don't think it can necessarily. 0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:21.360 Be hammered into a person or hammered into a entire unit. 0:33:21.440 --> 0:33:24.120 I think it's it starts with drafting guys who come 0:33:24.160 --> 0:33:26.760 from programs that have that type of reputation. 0:33:27.000 --> 0:33:29.200 But to that point, though, I would say, like if 0:33:29.200 --> 0:33:31.600 we went down man for man, I would I could 0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:34.160 point out some guys that their makeup to me at 0:33:34.240 --> 0:33:36.960 least seems to be the physical. 0:33:36.800 --> 0:33:41.440 Means absolutely, and Tyler Smith overshown I mean old drafted. 0:33:41.600 --> 0:33:43.160 We talked about Bbie when he was drafted. 0:33:43.200 --> 0:33:44.960 We talked about Guiding when they were drafted, Like these 0:33:44.960 --> 0:33:47.320 were guys that came out of college with that that 0:33:47.400 --> 0:33:50.520 reputation of being a little bit surly, right, And so 0:33:50.840 --> 0:33:53.040 I wonder like, if you go man for man, it 0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:56.960 seems like they got enough of those mean, physical type players. 0:33:57.560 --> 0:34:00.360 So why is that not translating as you call it, 0:34:00.160 --> 0:34:01.280 to that being. 0:34:01.360 --> 0:34:03.680 The unit in my eyes? 0:34:03.680 --> 0:34:05.360 And I feel like whenever you do look at it 0:34:05.400 --> 0:34:08.560 side by side, Okay, these are all those surly players 0:34:08.600 --> 0:34:10.120 like you mentioned, our physical guys, and these are the 0:34:10.120 --> 0:34:12.560 guys who are probably not helping that department. I think 0:34:12.600 --> 0:34:14.440 this list is impacking you a lot more at the 0:34:14.520 --> 0:34:16.200 end of the day. But I do think whenever you 0:34:16.200 --> 0:34:18.560 look at draft strategy over the last few years, there 0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:20.799 has been an intention to bring in guys like that, 0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:23.160 but I don't think that started until twenty twenty two, 0:34:23.400 --> 0:34:24.920 and I think it's going to take a couple of 0:34:24.960 --> 0:34:26.800 years to be able to get everybody in the building. 0:34:26.880 --> 0:34:28.839 I think it happened for Detroit a little bit quicker 0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:30.680 because they actually go out in free agency and spend 0:34:30.760 --> 0:34:33.400 some money there and getting guys like David Montgomery in 0:34:33.440 --> 0:34:36.520 the building or building that offensive line with guys like 0:34:36.560 --> 0:34:37.640 Frank ragb right now. 0:34:37.880 --> 0:34:40.040 And they've been bad for so long, they get a 0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:42.279 lot of top picks too, right, yea, they get a 0:34:42.320 --> 0:34:44.319 lot of top first round picks. Over time, you can 0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:45.040 build something with that. 0:34:45.120 --> 0:34:47.800 Yeah, you know, they got a tough, tough coaching staff. 0:34:47.960 --> 0:34:48.960 Yeah, you look. 0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:49.680 At you look at you know. 0:34:49.760 --> 0:34:52.920 I mean Ben Johnson is a kind of a quiet guy, 0:34:53.239 --> 0:34:56.120 but he goes for the throat when you watch him 0:34:56.200 --> 0:34:59.359 call plays. He's got a little bit of that, you know, 0:34:59.520 --> 0:35:02.799 like I bet you Dan Campbell kick clicks over on 0:35:02.840 --> 0:35:05.680 that head sentence says, hey, you start running the ball. Now, 0:35:06.080 --> 0:35:08.040 you can run it. Now, let's go, let's run. Let's 0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:10.320 run a few plays here and and then Aaron Glenn 0:35:10.360 --> 0:35:11.560 is a defensive coordinator. 0:35:11.560 --> 0:35:13.680 Aaron Glenn is a corner. He was a tough guy. 0:35:14.239 --> 0:35:16.279 So, I mean, I think a lot of it has 0:35:16.360 --> 0:35:18.520 to do with how your coaching staff. I listened to 0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:22.239 Jerry Jones and this morning talk about the Ravens, you know, 0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:24.520 with Harrball in that group. I mean, he's like, this 0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:26.200 is one of the better teams I've seen, you know, 0:35:26.360 --> 0:35:28.520 us play. You know, he had a lot of respect 0:35:28.600 --> 0:35:31.400 for the Ravens. We all kind of think of of 0:35:31.400 --> 0:35:34.759 of John Harball is that, you know, the Ravens are 0:35:34.760 --> 0:35:35.480 always tough. 0:35:35.520 --> 0:35:37.120 They've got tough players and stuff. 0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:41.719 So I like, yeah, well, see Detroit that lost all 0:35:41.719 --> 0:35:43.880 those close games, and then all of a sudden they 0:35:43.880 --> 0:35:45.600 went on a roll a couple of years ago where 0:35:45.640 --> 0:35:48.319 they started winning close games. And then they went to 0:35:48.360 --> 0:35:51.160 green Bay with nothing to play for, you know, but 0:35:51.440 --> 0:35:54.480 pride and and and green Bay. All Greenby had to 0:35:54.520 --> 0:35:56.640 do was win and they were in the playoffs. 0:35:57.000 --> 0:35:58.719 Troy beat him straight up. 0:35:59.160 --> 0:36:01.319 You know, I think that that kind of stuff, when 0:36:01.360 --> 0:36:03.799 you go and do things like that, it makes your 0:36:03.800 --> 0:36:06.680 team really believe in what you're doing. You know, So 0:36:06.840 --> 0:36:12.120 I like what you did there. Okay, Ambar. Other than 0:36:12.200 --> 0:36:15.200 Dak Prescott, this offensive player. 0:36:14.960 --> 0:36:17.560 Needs to be huge this next two weeks. 0:36:18.840 --> 0:36:22.839 Other than Dak Prescott, this offensive player needs to be 0:36:23.080 --> 0:36:25.080 huge these next two weeks. 0:36:26.800 --> 0:36:30.480 I think that's with the Steelers and Lions games. 0:36:31.640 --> 0:36:32.799 Oh, I got one for you. 0:36:33.480 --> 0:36:41.279 Oh interesting. I think the obvious answer for me here 0:36:41.360 --> 0:36:44.680 would be a guy like CD Lamb if they're find 0:36:44.680 --> 0:36:47.680 their connection because we Weaving saw it last year when 0:36:47.680 --> 0:36:50.640 they were connecting, they were on a roll, and that 0:36:51.000 --> 0:36:55.000 even opened up other players to worry. Makes you question, Okay, 0:36:55.200 --> 0:36:57.480 get that guy, the ball gets so and so the ball. 0:36:57.719 --> 0:37:00.840 So I think that when CD Lamb is at his peak, 0:37:01.560 --> 0:37:05.520 it just creates an opened creates more opportunity for everybody 0:37:05.600 --> 0:37:08.320 on the field because now they got to worry about him, 0:37:09.000 --> 0:37:12.000 and you can take advantage of that. But there are 0:37:12.200 --> 0:37:14.560 plenty of other guys on the offense that you could 0:37:14.600 --> 0:37:17.839 add to that list where you need them to step up. 0:37:17.880 --> 0:37:20.960 But at the same time, Mike McCarthy and the way 0:37:21.000 --> 0:37:26.400 he's scheming things. That's where I see the bigger problem. 0:37:26.680 --> 0:37:30.680 It's a combination of McCarthy creating these plays but also 0:37:30.719 --> 0:37:34.200 the players executing it. Because you've seen so many guys 0:37:34.239 --> 0:37:37.279 that are talented. I mean Cavanta Turpin, another guy we 0:37:37.320 --> 0:37:42.399 talked about all throughout the training camp. Training camp, Oh, 0:37:42.440 --> 0:37:44.960 he's going to be a good, big weapon for this offense, 0:37:44.960 --> 0:37:46.759 and then all of a sudden he's kind of disappeared, 0:37:46.800 --> 0:37:49.439 and you don't really see much of that either. So 0:37:49.960 --> 0:37:53.840 I think it's more now I just went down a spiral, 0:37:53.920 --> 0:37:56.719 but I think at least get Ceedee Lamb back to 0:37:56.800 --> 0:37:57.680 his peak. 0:37:58.040 --> 0:37:59.280 Cur Brandy Cooks. 0:37:59.360 --> 0:38:01.400 I think if if they can get Brandon Cooks involved 0:38:01.440 --> 0:38:03.719 over these next two weeks, it's going to allow a 0:38:03.760 --> 0:38:06.120 lot more one on one situations for Ceedee Lamb coming 0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:08.360 off of the bye week. I think that's really important 0:38:08.400 --> 0:38:10.279 going into a game like the forty nine Ers. I'm 0:38:10.320 --> 0:38:15.600 afraid that defenses are not scared of anybody on the 0:38:15.600 --> 0:38:17.520 offensive side of the ball other than Ceedee Lamb. 0:38:17.840 --> 0:38:20.640 And I think if that continues. 0:38:20.080 --> 0:38:23.040 To stack as weeks go by, and they don't put 0:38:23.040 --> 0:38:25.400 respect on Brandon Cooks or Cavante Turpin or even a 0:38:25.480 --> 0:38:28.160 Jake Ferguson. Then that's only going to make life more 0:38:28.160 --> 0:38:31.000 difficult for Ceedee Lamb. I would say Rico Daubtle, but 0:38:31.040 --> 0:38:33.279 I think we've established that there's not really a running game. 0:38:33.320 --> 0:38:34.719 If he did have a huge two weeks, they would 0:38:34.719 --> 0:38:37.319 obviously be ginormous for this offense. But I think for 0:38:37.440 --> 0:38:40.080 looking realistically Brandon Cooks, I think if he has a 0:38:40.160 --> 0:38:42.359 huge two weeks, he gets one hundred yard game, two 0:38:42.400 --> 0:38:44.560 or three touchdowns over these next couple of weeks, then 0:38:44.560 --> 0:38:46.120 it can start to open up this passing game a 0:38:46.160 --> 0:38:48.600 little bit more and really kind of gets you taken 0:38:48.680 --> 0:38:50.560 that next step in the passing game since your running 0:38:50.560 --> 0:38:51.319 game won't do it for you. 0:38:51.400 --> 0:38:54.120 Derek Eagleton, I am shocked that we went through two 0:38:54.160 --> 0:38:56.680 answers and nobody said Tyler Geiden. 0:38:57.160 --> 0:38:59.680 It was second. It was my look at thoughts too. 0:39:00.239 --> 0:39:00.920 They got coming up. 0:39:01.000 --> 0:39:02.560 Whatton, arguably the. 0:39:02.440 --> 0:39:06.480 Best defensive player on both those teams, will probably be 0:39:06.600 --> 0:39:08.160 matched up against Tyler Guiden. 0:39:08.320 --> 0:39:10.680 Can I say why I didn't say that's worrisome? To 0:39:10.719 --> 0:39:11.160 reason why? 0:39:11.200 --> 0:39:14.239 I didn't know because he didn't have a huge game 0:39:14.280 --> 0:39:16.800 against Cleveland, but he was serviceable. Yeah, I feel like 0:39:16.800 --> 0:39:18.680 if he could just be serviceable these next two weeks, 0:39:18.680 --> 0:39:20.680 but you get a huge game from Brandon Cooks, then 0:39:20.680 --> 0:39:22.240 I feel like that would make a bigger impact. 0:39:22.280 --> 0:39:23.080 That's that's the only. 0:39:22.920 --> 0:39:24.160 Reason I understand that. 0:39:24.239 --> 0:39:27.480 I guess what I'm thinking more about is your offense. 0:39:27.800 --> 0:39:31.200 If you have to keep giving him help your offense. 0:39:30.840 --> 0:39:33.640 Which they have it they did in this last game, right, 0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:36.000 but they did in that first game, right, if they 0:39:36.040 --> 0:39:37.600 have to do that because they're looking at this game 0:39:37.640 --> 0:39:40.680 and they're like, man, those two guys. That severely limits 0:39:40.680 --> 0:39:42.680 what your offense can do because now you got to 0:39:42.719 --> 0:39:44.440 give him help. You got to keep guys back to 0:39:44.440 --> 0:39:46.279 be able to help him out. And even at that, 0:39:46.320 --> 0:39:48.040 you're probably not gonna win all the time, which we 0:39:48.200 --> 0:39:50.239 just gonna change your offense. And I think, like I 0:39:50.239 --> 0:39:52.160 said before, this offense is going to have to be 0:39:52.360 --> 0:39:55.279 on like it's gonna have to be hyper good in 0:39:55.400 --> 0:39:58.160 order to sustain the challenges that the defense is having 0:39:58.239 --> 0:40:00.719 right now. And so I need Tyler guy more than 0:40:00.760 --> 0:40:03.400 anybody else. I need him to handle up this week 0:40:03.480 --> 0:40:05.720 and next week because that's going to give the offense 0:40:05.760 --> 0:40:09.280 the best chance if CD just gets off because Tyler's 0:40:09.320 --> 0:40:11.440 doing his job. I don't know if I necessarily and 0:40:11.440 --> 0:40:14.359 worry too much about Brandon Cook. Quite frankly, I think 0:40:14.400 --> 0:40:16.400 I would be even more like I'm looking at a 0:40:16.400 --> 0:40:19.239 guy like Jayleen Tolbert, and I'm like, Jalen Tobert, give 0:40:19.280 --> 0:40:21.120 me more of what you've been getting, because from what 0:40:21.160 --> 0:40:23.400 I've seen the training camp throughout the beginning of the season. 0:40:23.640 --> 0:40:25.800 Give him more opportunities. I'm down with that, and I 0:40:25.800 --> 0:40:27.840 think he's going to make the most of them. Cavante Turpin, 0:40:28.000 --> 0:40:30.600 give him more opportunities. I'm down with that. I think 0:40:30.600 --> 0:40:32.760 he's gonna make the most of it. I'm less concerned 0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:34.920 about Cooks at this point. I'm more concerned about my 0:40:35.000 --> 0:40:36.879 left tackle because if I can't block it, I can't 0:40:36.880 --> 0:40:37.319 get the ball. 0:40:37.440 --> 0:40:38.920 The way I see it in my head is like 0:40:38.960 --> 0:40:42.520 we've seen it at times where Dak he could get 0:40:42.600 --> 0:40:45.200 rid of the ball very very quickly last year. I'm 0:40:45.200 --> 0:40:48.440 talking about where even if someone was coming, the pressure 0:40:48.560 --> 0:40:50.960 was coming, he's already the ball is gone. He already 0:40:50.960 --> 0:40:55.279 threw that path. So that comes with having the certainty 0:40:55.400 --> 0:40:59.080 or the confidence in your passing game with the receiver 0:40:59.200 --> 0:41:00.920 and who you're getting too. So I think if the 0:41:01.000 --> 0:41:05.600 relationship with CD and the connection there improves, you can 0:41:05.640 --> 0:41:07.480 get rid of the ball quickly, which. 0:41:07.280 --> 0:41:10.360 Then gives Though, if you're gonna if you're gonna be 0:41:10.400 --> 0:41:13.279 at a game where your defense is giving up points, you're 0:41:13.280 --> 0:41:15.200 gonna have to have something like you were talking about earlier, Brian, 0:41:15.200 --> 0:41:17.480 where you were saying it feels like this offense has 0:41:17.560 --> 0:41:20.719 to work for every yard at some point. If you're 0:41:20.719 --> 0:41:22.640 gonna win some of these games that are gonna be 0:41:22.719 --> 0:41:25.320 high scoring games, you have to have some big plays. 0:41:25.360 --> 0:41:28.480 And big plays typically take time for the receiver to 0:41:28.480 --> 0:41:30.959 get downfield and get open, which means you gotta block 0:41:31.000 --> 0:41:33.360 it right. And that's where I'm a little bit concerned. 0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:34.440 It just doesn't match. 0:41:34.320 --> 0:41:36.680 Up completely killing you right now. 0:41:36.880 --> 0:41:38.920 I don't think he's killing you. I think he's fine. 0:41:39.000 --> 0:41:41.360 I think he's okay. The problem is you're about to 0:41:41.360 --> 0:41:43.760 face the better defensive. 0:41:43.360 --> 0:41:44.240 Ends in the NFL. 0:41:44.480 --> 0:41:46.959 Yeah, it's like you're trying to diffuse a bomb over there. 0:41:47.120 --> 0:41:48.920 You know, you got the bomb unit and they're like, 0:41:49.480 --> 0:41:52.000 is it the red wire or the blue wire? You know, 0:41:52.400 --> 0:41:53.600 and then you just gotta close. 0:41:55.280 --> 0:41:55.480 To me. 0:41:55.840 --> 0:41:59.160 I think you can just said steal or guide. You 0:41:59.160 --> 0:42:01.839 can just sit there either tackle, because these next two 0:42:01.840 --> 0:42:05.720 weeks is going to be a hang on your rear, guys, 0:42:05.760 --> 0:42:08.279 here we go kind of a day because especially if 0:42:08.320 --> 0:42:10.600 they don't help, if they don't help guiding in this 0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:14.239 in these games, and but it takes away from other 0:42:14.320 --> 0:42:16.040 things you're trying to do, you know. 0:42:16.320 --> 0:42:18.880 And the thing eight and Hutchinson is a really scares 0:42:18.960 --> 0:42:21.200 me because not only is he talented, he is one 0:42:21.280 --> 0:42:23.080 hundred times one hundred. 0:42:22.960 --> 0:42:25.759 Mile an hour movie guy, like he keeps coming coming, 0:42:26.040 --> 0:42:27.000 ever comes off the field. 0:42:27.040 --> 0:42:29.879 Yeah, he is a he. The game keeps going. 0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:33.080 Max Crosby the same. I mean they play and they 0:42:33.080 --> 0:42:34.280 play and they never stop. 0:42:34.400 --> 0:42:38.319 Yeah, yes, never stop with their rush anyway. All right, 0:42:38.400 --> 0:42:39.800 thank you guys, appreciate you. 0:42:39.840 --> 0:42:42.319 Thank you, Brian. And that took two segments.
