Speaker 2: A little bit, but we got some things to talk about.
Speaker 6: We will have a little segment of going inside the
Speaker 6: brain of Brian brought us.
Speaker 2: He has some questions today and as every week.
Speaker 6: I'm very very very afraid you're gonna love it, very

Speaker 7: Yeah, so yeah, survivor pool. I am actually and this
Speaker 7: is hard to believe. Four weeks in NFL season, I'm
Speaker 7: zero to four. I've had to do a bet payoff
Speaker 7: every single week. I think the next one I have

Speaker 8: I up?
Speaker 9: God?
Speaker 2: Please no, please do it on our show too? Can
Speaker 2: you please just wear there?
Speaker 7: This is one of the things because this weekend, we're
Speaker 7: this Friday, we're on remote and it's usually a Friday
Speaker 7: bet payoff. And the reason why I didn't do it
Speaker 7: last week was because I didn't want to embarrass the cowboys.
Speaker 7: I didn't want to show up, you know, like, Okay,
Speaker 7: what are you doing, you know, like, why are you
Speaker 7: showing up like you look like Missus Doubtfire and then
Speaker 7: do the show and then people wondering because you know,
Speaker 7: this is a big time program. I didn't want to
Speaker 7: like be slapstick guy, but here the boss of the
Speaker 7: whole thing is telling me to be slash.
Speaker 6: I will explain to all of our audience what's happening,
Speaker 6: so it won't be like that.
Speaker 2: I guess I will. Oh, yeah, I would. I'm down
Speaker 2: for that.
Speaker 6: And by the way, I'm sure the fans would be
Speaker 6: down to see you dressed as Missus doubt Fire. And
Speaker 6: by the way, if you haven't, go google Missus. It's
Speaker 6: a movie from back in the nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so go check that out.
Speaker 3: And Robin Williams, Robin Williams, you could see exactly.
Speaker 2: What Brian is doing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and uh, you know, it'll be fun for our
Speaker 6: show too. I would definitely have some fun.
Speaker 4: I was calling into a g bag on Friday, not
Speaker 4: knowing that they were doing this quadruple bet payoff, and
Speaker 4: I hop on, you know, just waiting on the call
Speaker 4: and they're introducing me. But before they introduced me, they
Speaker 4: had to do Eric. She follows Bet Payoff, which his
Speaker 4: was peeing down his leg.
Speaker 3: He peeding his pants in the studio. He stood up.
Speaker 10: Wow, we were talking to listen. I'm like, what's going
Speaker 10: on here?
Speaker 3: He actually went to the men's room on himself while
Speaker 3: on purpose? On purpose? Yeah, he said, y'all off the rails.
Speaker 3: I thought we were off.
Speaker 7: The rail whole the whole interview, Like he's talking to
Speaker 7: Nick and he's using the men's room on himself.
Speaker 8: Like he what his pants and everything?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Everything, yeah, everything, khaki pants too. You could see then.
Speaker 2: I don't need the vision.
Speaker 3: Like we we pigs feet.
Speaker 2: We like, yeah, I heard you, guys, pigs feet.
Speaker 7: I ate the Nitro gummy one time, which is nine
Speaker 7: hundred times stronger than a jalapeno.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Nitro game.
Speaker 10: You need to get you checked. I know, right, we
Speaker 10: need to get was going to say about sounds like that.
Speaker 3: How about I pick a damn game, you know, I'm
Speaker 3: oh and four.
Speaker 8: Like every week interviews, the ratings through the roof.
Speaker 3: We're having a good We're having a good time over there.
Speaker 3: They're going down.
Speaker 8: It's tough though.
Speaker 3: It gets the point.
Speaker 7: We have a list of things you can do, and
Speaker 7: they're all terrible things. And uh but yeah, I'm like
Speaker 7: running out of things to like, I feel like I'm
Speaker 7: running out of the list of things to do.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's it's incredible, bad thing.
Speaker 6: Say what I'm gonna do? Brian, here's you got? You
Speaker 6: got this doubt? Why don't why don't you? Why don't
Speaker 6: you real quickly tell people where they can listen to
Speaker 6: you guys on yeah five.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're on from two to seven, seven, every two
Speaker 7: seven and every day the g Bag Nation and I
Speaker 7: have a segment called Krusty's Corner which is at three
Speaker 7: forty which and you can listen to Nick on Fridays
Speaker 7: and it comes on with us on Fridays and does
Speaker 7: great work. But yeah, we're two to seven every day.
Speaker 7: I do Crusty's Corner. It generally cowboy related scouting reports
Speaker 7: or like today if the Cowboys sign a guy, maybe
Speaker 7: they sign a guy, will maybe they sign.
Speaker 2: A guy, maybe they.
Speaker 3: Sign a guy.
Speaker 7: At three forty day you get a scounting report. I
Speaker 7: talked about some guys you could sign yesterday. Yeah, so
Speaker 7: stay tuned to Dallascowboys dot Com and to one four
Speaker 7: Star Telegram and win O five to three the fam.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's plenty of options out there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, plenty of options. We're all team, We're all teammates.
Speaker 2: We are we absolutely all right. Let's talk about I
Speaker 2: had a couple of questions for you, guys.
Speaker 6: We're gonna hit real quick before we get to our
Speaker 6: first break and then go inside the mind of Brian
Speaker 6: brought us. Let's first start with the first quarter recap
Speaker 6: questions that I had for you.
Speaker 2: What would you like to see from.
Speaker 6: Each coordinator over the second quarter of the season to
Speaker 6: improve their units.
Speaker 2: Let's start first with Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 10: Okay, to say McCarthy or Shottenheimer here now we're.
Speaker 2: Talking, well, let's say MacCarthy. He's calling the players.
Speaker 6: Let's say maccarth And by the way, you can do
Speaker 6: it as a group, just say the offensive coordinators or
Speaker 6: the guys that are responsible for the coordinating of the offense.
Speaker 10: The offensive decision makers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think on the offensive side of the ball,
Speaker 4: I just want to see more creativity. I think when
Speaker 4: you have a running game that is non useful, when
Speaker 4: you have a passing game that is a little stagnant times,
Speaker 4: especially in second halves of games. I think all you
Speaker 4: need to do is just up the creativity, whether that
Speaker 4: be in the run game, you know, opening up some
Speaker 4: different type of running lanes for guys like Rico Doubt
Speaker 4: or Douce Fawn or even Ezekiel Elliott. In the past game,
Speaker 4: you utilize some more pre snap motion. They have been
Speaker 4: bottom in the one of the bottom teams in the
Speaker 4: league and utilizing pre snap motion through these first four weeks.
Speaker 10: I just want to see a little bit more creativity.
Speaker 4: It's been you go, you line up, you get in
Speaker 4: a very traditional formation, and you run the traditional route,
Speaker 4: and it's been very predictable. And I think that's why
Speaker 4: we look at second halves of games. Teams are able
Speaker 4: to adjust a lot easier to the offensive side of
Speaker 4: the ball, and that's why we haven't necessarily seen a
Speaker 4: ton of production from the offensive side of the ball
Speaker 4: and second halves other than that fourth quarter against Baltimore.
Speaker 4: So I think you look around on the offense side
Speaker 4: of the ball, just creativity.
Speaker 10: Brian has said it perfectly.
Speaker 4: He's like, I think we need to get some guys
Speaker 4: in the in the scouting department to go look at
Speaker 4: McVeigh shanahan and pull plays from.
Speaker 10: Them every week.
Speaker 4: It would be fantastic. I think it just pull some creativity,
Speaker 4: find some creativity. Eye browless, Brian.
Speaker 8: I'll just see Brian smile right now, Brian, Bryan.
Speaker 10: Face there, I go.
Speaker 3: I give you that Uncle Fester family.
Speaker 10: It's so terrifying. I can't lie.
Speaker 8: Oh my god.
Speaker 9: No.
Speaker 8: I absolutely agree with the creativity part of it, but
Speaker 8: also preparation, prepare better, you know, during the week, And
Speaker 8: that's something that's come up already like this, what are
Speaker 8: you doing during the week to prepare for the game
Speaker 8: ahead of you? We've seen this offense and of course
Speaker 8: you had a different person in the last season with
Speaker 8: different players now playing for you, but you've seen how
Speaker 8: certain players can be effective. You know you have talent
Speaker 8: on the team. Now bring it all together. Why does
Speaker 8: it take so many games for your offense to get going?
Speaker 8: Why can't And I say this like it's very easy,
Speaker 8: but going back to how the season ended, not counting
Speaker 8: Green Bay, but prior to that second half of the
Speaker 8: year last year, last season, your offense was being very productive.
Speaker 8: It was running and it was fast, and everybody was
Speaker 8: connecting and Dak was playing a very very good game.
Speaker 8: So I'm just I'm just wondering, like, why is it
Speaker 8: so hard to kind of jump back on track to
Speaker 8: where you were, where you kind of left off.
Speaker 11: Could it be that your best offensive player wasn't a
Speaker 11: training camp.
Speaker 8: I mean absolutely, that's an option there. He was absent,
Speaker 8: and you notice how that actually did affect the connection
Speaker 8: with Dak Prescott and I think last game. I think
Speaker 8: he started showing some progress there this last game, and
Speaker 8: hopefully this is the turning point where things start. We
Speaker 8: call this the forty nine ers game where it was
Speaker 8: the turning point last year for Ceedee, Lamb and Dak.
Speaker 8: Hopefully it happened last week. But I would say, just
Speaker 8: prepare better, whatever that means. There's no reason why anybody
Speaker 8: should question the way you practice during the week.
Speaker 3: We can talk about the defense here too, can't we.
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna get to them. We're gonna start with
Speaker 2: the offense and want.
Speaker 7: To see I get confused every once in a while,
Speaker 7: have to be put on the right path. The thing
Speaker 7: that I want to see is that we the creativity part.
Speaker 7: I think you guys nailed it totally. I want to
Speaker 7: see an offense that doesn't feel like it's struggling to
Speaker 7: get yards, you know. I mean, maybe it's the execution,
Speaker 7: maybe it's the play calling, maybe it's the actual plays itself.
Speaker 7: But why would I watch everybody else? It feels like
Speaker 7: their offense just flows, you know, and maybe that maybe
Speaker 7: the Lions are a bad example last night, you know,
Speaker 7: maybe that's a bad I mean, Ben Johnson when he
Speaker 7: gets that thing on the rails, it is really pretty
Speaker 7: to watch, you know, you watch him, You watch the
Speaker 7: guy in San Francisco, you watch the guy in Miami's
Speaker 7: having some problems right now because his quarterback's out, you know.
Speaker 7: But I just what I'd love to see them find
Speaker 7: a way to do is make this offense easy again.
Speaker 7: There was times when Dak you know, and sometimes it
Speaker 7: happens when you play the Commanders back in the day,
Speaker 7: or the Giants back in the day, or you play
Speaker 7: teams that don't have the personnel to kind of match.
Speaker 3: You, the offense just looks beautiful.
Speaker 7: I mean, it's just Dak gets They're moving the balls
Speaker 7: going across the field. Though there's a tight end delay,
Speaker 7: there's a you know, there's there's things about it that
Speaker 7: just flows, and it doesn't seem like that.
Speaker 3: It's a grind.
Speaker 7: I feel like right now I'm watching an offense that's grinding,
Speaker 7: you know, and I mean grinding in a bad way.
Speaker 7: That they don't second down first downs, you know, first
Speaker 7: down first downs, you know, big plays, explosive plays. I
Speaker 7: just feel like it's kind of a it's like getting
Speaker 7: in third and two all day. You know, it just
Speaker 7: isn't It isn't flowing like it needs And I wish
Speaker 7: he could find that flow. I wish he could find
Speaker 7: it where it's easy again, for the quarterback, for the receiver,
Speaker 7: the tight.
Speaker 3: End, the line, everybody involved. Just a little bit of
Speaker 3: a just an.
Speaker 7: Easier way of manipulating offense because the way the rules are,
Speaker 7: they'll let you manipulate offense. But you got to take
Speaker 7: advantage of that. With the picks and things like that.
Speaker 7: You can kind of set yourself up with.
Speaker 2: Let's flip over to the defensive side.
Speaker 6: What would you like to see from a Zimmer and
Speaker 6: the defense going into second half? What would you like
Speaker 6: to coordinate or to maybe do differently.
Speaker 4: I just want to see consistency, whatever that looks like
Speaker 4: from a coordinator perspective, consistency with the front specifically. I mean,
Speaker 4: we talked yesterday about Mazzie Smith and him having an
Speaker 4: awesome game on Thursday night, but it's it's about stacking
Speaker 4: those games for their actual actually be confidence going forward
Speaker 4: in the defensive front without having Micah Parsons DeMarcus Lawrence
Speaker 4: for these next few weeks, consistency is going to be
Speaker 4: more important now than ever with guys like Marshawn Neil
Speaker 4: and Chauncey Golston, Tyrs Sweet and anyone else that they
Speaker 4: might sign.
Speaker 10: As time goes on.
Speaker 4: But even in the secondary, I mean we can look
Speaker 4: at the secondary too, there's been some inconsistencies there. Is
Speaker 4: it a product of having a rookie fifth round pick
Speaker 4: on one of your corners, absolutely, But on that same token,
Speaker 4: you're getting Deron Blandbeck, you would think in the next
Speaker 4: couple of weeks, probably before the bye week. So once
Speaker 4: you get him back, okay, well then there's no excuse
Speaker 4: to not stack consistency there in the secondary moving forward,
Speaker 4: but specifically at the safety position, I feel like that's
Speaker 4: been at times some of the most inconsistent group, one
Speaker 4: of the more inconsistent groups, just because you know, they
Speaker 4: allow a big pass player. They allow a running running
Speaker 4: back to be able to break off with a huge
Speaker 4: game because they take a bad angle. So again, I
Speaker 4: think the defensive side of the ball had a great
Speaker 4: game on Thursday night. It's just about stacking those games.
Speaker 4: Consistency is so important moving forward.
Speaker 8: I hate this question because I don't have an answer
Speaker 8: because right now, after how you left that game, and again,
Speaker 8: I know these are the two key players right now
Speaker 8: with as far as injuries, DeMarcus Lawrence and Mike parts
Speaker 8: Band coming back throwing him being out. Yeah, but even then,
Speaker 8: I'm curious to see how the practice report looks like
Speaker 8: this week because there were plenty of other guys that
Speaker 8: also came out at a certain time, and we know
Speaker 8: that they can go back and finish a game, but
Speaker 8: then during the week something pops up. So I'm curious
Speaker 8: to see how long that list is going to be.
Speaker 8: And I feel like the defense right now is just
Speaker 8: in survival mode. It's like, okay, do we even have
Speaker 8: enough guys to be out there? So I don't know
Speaker 8: what my advice or opinion is as far as what
Speaker 8: to do with Mike Zimmer other than try to keep
Speaker 8: this defense together and everyone really focused on doing their job.
Speaker 8: If there was something to point out, and something that
Speaker 8: was talked about prior to last game was everyone focusing
Speaker 8: on their own role. But can you actually do that
Speaker 8: when you have so many younger players in there that
Speaker 8: potentially do need help from the veteran guy next to them.
Speaker 8: So it's just it's a tough moment for this defense
Speaker 8: right now, and I don't know what the answer is currently.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would like to see them and this is
Speaker 7: going to sound crazy because right now they're not a
Speaker 7: very good group. I want to see people start to
Speaker 7: throw the ball on you again, because you're built to
Speaker 7: rush the passer. Here now we're down guys. So it
Speaker 7: seems like forever the strength of this team is its
Speaker 7: ability to rush the passer. And then all of a
Speaker 7: sudden there's no pass rush. Why is there no pass rush?
Speaker 7: Because you're getting the ball run on you? You know,
Speaker 7: I mean much better last week. You saw what happened though,
Speaker 7: when you can force somebody to throw the ball. The
Speaker 7: Giants had to throw. Yeah, the Giants made some plays
Speaker 7: on you, but it wasn't this constant just running the
Speaker 7: ball down your throat type of a situation. So Mike's
Speaker 7: gonna need some magic.
Speaker 3: He really really is.
Speaker 7: He's banged up bad. And it's not an excuse. It's
Speaker 7: just it's the NFL and you you got to figure
Speaker 7: out how you know, I mean, these guys that are
Speaker 7: rookies aren't really rookies anymore.
Speaker 3: This is week five of the NFL season.
Speaker 7: You know, you know, overshown and those guys who have
Speaker 7: played kneeling, you know that haven't played, they played five games.
Speaker 7: You know, you're not really a rookie anymore. You gotta
Speaker 7: go play, Carson, you gotta go play. You know, we
Speaker 7: don't have time.
Speaker 3: I mean, like say, watching Detroit last night.
Speaker 7: I'm terrified watching them play, you know, because they've got
Speaker 7: these receivers, they got a running game.
Speaker 3: They're coming in here in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're gonna play Pittsburgh, who traditionally is a very
Speaker 7: physical team the way they play, and you're gonna probably
Speaker 7: get beat up in that game. And so these next
Speaker 7: two weeks going to be a huge challenge for Mike
Speaker 7: Zimmer in this in this staff. But they need every
Speaker 7: one of those guys that we call rookie players to
Speaker 7: play white veterans and not not be any liabilities, uh
Speaker 7: to hopefully getting them off the field.
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what I want to see from from
Speaker 6: the defensive coordinator particularly is I want to see him
Speaker 6: get a little more creative and how they're going to
Speaker 6: generate a pass rush.
Speaker 11: I think they have to at this point.
Speaker 6: I don't think they can line up and say, hey,
Speaker 6: we're going to bring our four and that's how we're
Speaker 6: going to run it. I think he's going to have
Speaker 6: to come use safeties.
Speaker 11: You'll have to use.
Speaker 6: Tach cornerbacks, slot have to use the linebackers. Uh, They'll
Speaker 6: have to do everything they can creatively.
Speaker 3: Not but they got him to pass.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But that's the thing.
Speaker 6: The hope is that what we saw last week from
Speaker 6: the standpoint of the running game stopping the running game
Speaker 6: can continue. And if they can continue that, if you
Speaker 6: can get Mozzi to keep playing like he has like
Speaker 6: he did last week, I think that's a big start
Speaker 6: right right, And if you can then use and I
Speaker 6: think Neiland will be fine as a as a run defender.
Speaker 6: I think Golston can be fine as a run defender.
Speaker 6: So if they can continue what they started last week
Speaker 6: in the run or stopping the run, then it becomes
Speaker 6: a situation of how do you create pressure and if
Speaker 6: they're creative and how they're bringing pressure.
Speaker 2: I think that may help them at.
Speaker 6: Least give you a few weeks to get by without
Speaker 6: the likes of of of Michael Parsons.
Speaker 11: We know it's going to be long before DeMarcus Who is.
Speaker 10: This team's best pass rusher right now? Is it Chauncey golsten.
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 10: Is it to Marvin Overshown.
Speaker 6: I was about to say it's probably one of the linebackers.
Speaker 6: It might be Osa, it could be might be your
Speaker 6: best pass rusher.
Speaker 4: He started the year really hot last year in the
Speaker 4: LAS rush department. I think he racked up three sacks
Speaker 4: in the first five games and then he just went away.
Speaker 10: So I did a lot of pressures.
Speaker 7: He needs Mazie to keep playing well next to him though,
Speaker 7: I mean that would that would help a lot.
Speaker 3: But yeah, they don't.
Speaker 7: You're I think to Derek's point is you're gonna have
Speaker 7: to bring more than four. You know, you're gonna have
Speaker 7: to find ways to create opportunities without without looking at Pittsburgh,
Speaker 7: but just TV copy stuff. I'll get on them this evening.
Speaker 7: Know with the offense, make fields throw the football.
Speaker 3: You know, I'll take my chances.
Speaker 7: Don't let him beat me running the ball, you know,
Speaker 7: don't let me. Don't let me have to deal with that.
Speaker 7: Make him drop back and have to read field and
Speaker 7: throw ball.
Speaker 11: He's the most dangerous runner they got to Yeah.
Speaker 7: That's that's what I'm saying. I mean there, But they're
Speaker 7: down offensive lineman. They had another guy loss for the season.
Speaker 3: They're gonna have some backup dudes in their playing.
Speaker 7: We saw what happened in week one when you play
Speaker 7: backup dudes against the Cowboys. But now we're playing backup dudes.
Speaker 7: So it's it's it's pretty it's it's pretty wild. How
Speaker 7: this week five, we're already doing this kind of stuff.

Speaker 6: Second segment of the Break, live from the SWBC Mortgage studios.
Speaker 6: At the start of the segment, brought to you at
Speaker 6: blockchain dot com. All right, let's go inside the eyebrowless
Speaker 6: mind of Brian brought us.
Speaker 2: What you got for is Brian, I do.
Speaker 7: I've got some questions for you guys. Hope it makes
Speaker 7: you think a little bit. And by the way, I
Speaker 7: don't give these.
Speaker 3: Guys these questions if you're wondering out there.
Speaker 7: So this is kind of off the top of their heads,
Speaker 7: which I appreciate a lot.
Speaker 6: You know what else, I'll just mention real quick. You
Speaker 6: mentioned one O five dot three the fan. I've noticed
Speaker 6: sometimes you use us as guinea pisces because you'll take our.
Speaker 3: Question, this question.
Speaker 6: Those over there, and I'm hearing those guys, I'm like,
Speaker 6: they didn't have our answers.
Speaker 3: No, That's what I love about it. I guess you
Speaker 3: get all kinds of answer. You get all different platforms too.
Speaker 7: If everybody listens to you on all these platforms, you're
Speaker 7: on the good for them. Yeah, but it kind of
Speaker 7: if you depend on what platform you're on. Nick Carris,
Speaker 7: I'll start with you on this one. If you could
Speaker 7: ask Jerry Jones or Mike McCarthy one question and get
Speaker 7: an in depth, honest answer, what would it be.
Speaker 10: The question I asked last week?
Speaker 7: No, let me, you're gonna get an If you asked
Speaker 7: this question, you're going to get an in depth, honest
Speaker 7: answer about it.
Speaker 4: In depth, honest to answer. Is there really confidence in
Speaker 4: the running back situation right now? Is there actually confidence
Speaker 4: in the running back situation? And that that factors in
Speaker 4: Dalvin Cook, that factors in everybody that's on the team
Speaker 4: right now, that factors in draft strategy from from last
Speaker 4: April where how has the running game gotten to this
Speaker 4: point and how is there still confidence moving forward? I
Speaker 4: would love to hear an honest answer on that. I
Speaker 4: don't feel I don't feel like that will That'll be
Speaker 4: one though.
Speaker 3: You don't feel like you don't feel like because they
Speaker 3: do talk about it.
Speaker 4: Oh, surely they talk about it, but there's no way
Speaker 4: they actually feel that there's that much confidence.
Speaker 3: But the in depth, honestly answer, I'm looking at you
Speaker 3: guys for no Derek, what you got on that one?
Speaker 7: If you can ask Jerry Jones or Mike McCarthy one
Speaker 7: question and get an in depth, honest answer, would that question.
Speaker 6: It would be along the lines of what Nick asked,
Speaker 6: but it would be why why weren't they able to
Speaker 6: go after one of those running backs in free agency
Speaker 6: in the offseason. I heard somebody say this the other day,
Speaker 6: and I haven't checked these numbers, so forgive me if
Speaker 6: they aren't completely accurate. But the amount of money that
Speaker 6: right now Trey Lance counts on the salary cap against
Speaker 6: the salary cap is very close to the amount of
Speaker 6: money Dereck Henry is counting against the salary cap in Baltimore. Sure,
Speaker 6: And so then the question becomes like how much.
Speaker 8: I mean, were they sure they were gonna do the
Speaker 8: deal with no, no, no.
Speaker 2: And again. And that's the point, and there's a lot
Speaker 2: of this.
Speaker 6: That's why I would want to have a real in
Speaker 6: depth conversation, like walk me through where you guys were
Speaker 6: at that time, because I know right now it's easy
Speaker 6: in retrospect to say that you didn't know what the
Speaker 6: deal was going to end up being with DAK, you
Speaker 6: didn't know what the deal was going to end up
Speaker 6: being with CD so, but I would love to just
Speaker 6: sit and be able to talk from that standpoint of Okay,
Speaker 6: talk me through where you were on the cap at
Speaker 6: that point and why you didn't think you could come
Speaker 6: up with the right amount of money to go out
Speaker 6: and get in. And I'm not talking about Derek Henry specifically,
Speaker 6: I'm just saying in general, the running backs that were
Speaker 6: out there this last offseason, there were a number of them,
Speaker 6: and even some that were relatively cheap. Why couldn't you
Speaker 6: find that money to be able to do that? And
Speaker 6: were you really sold that what you already had, whether
Speaker 6: that be with Rico or whether that be with bringing
Speaker 6: in Zeke or with douce Von, Like what did they
Speaker 6: change that opinion for you because you looked at them
Speaker 6: and you said, I really have a good feeling about
Speaker 6: one of them, so there's no need to go out
Speaker 6: and spend in free agency. I'd really love to know
Speaker 6: a little more about how that came about.
Speaker 4: Trey Lance's cap number five point three million for twenty
Speaker 4: twenty four, Dereck Henry five point one million. But the
Speaker 4: factor is next year's cap number for Dereck.
Speaker 10: Henry's nearly eleven. So that's that's probably.
Speaker 3: What could that have been?
Speaker 7: Something too with if you look at what the dead
Speaker 7: money you owe Zeke plus the current money, if you
Speaker 7: add those two together eight Yeah. Does that that that
Speaker 7: hurts you? I mean, is that one of the reasons
Speaker 7: why they couldn't do it? Because they deterred They said, Okay,
Speaker 7: we got Zeke dead money plus the money we're gonna
Speaker 7: give him for being on the roster.
Speaker 6: Well, we heard Jerry say, I think it was during
Speaker 6: training camp he said with Zeke, well, some of that
Speaker 6: money's already spent. Yeah, And I think that's what he
Speaker 6: was talking about, was like they got dead money on him,
Speaker 6: so it's almost like, you know, we're already paying for him,
Speaker 6: so you might as well have him back that you're
Speaker 6: already paying for it, right, But I think I remembered
Speaker 6: him saying that during training camp that he says something
Speaker 6: to that effect.
Speaker 7: But hey, g you got something for me on that one.
Speaker 7: One question you could ask the boss man and the coach.
Speaker 8: Well, I do like the running back question that Nick proposed,
Speaker 8: But something else that I would want to know is like,
Speaker 8: why did it actually take so long to get a
Speaker 8: deal done with CD? Because you already knew you wanted
Speaker 8: him here, You could already expect I mean by that time,
Speaker 8: earlier on than training camp, you had an idea of
Speaker 8: what that number was going to look like. So what
Speaker 8: was the point? And you've seen it happen with other
Speaker 8: ends during the time we were talking about people holding
Speaker 8: out that history has shown that they do end up
Speaker 8: paying the player, So why wait when you knew how
Speaker 8: much the crucial aspect of this season, everything that's on
Speaker 8: the line, you're saying all in and all of this
Speaker 8: and city not happening. I mean, now you're seeing the
Speaker 8: effects of it. But yeah, that one was one that
Speaker 8: I guess I still have questions in my head, like
Speaker 8: why why did it actually take that long.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I think mine is is you always say that personnel
Speaker 7: is a three sixty five twenty four to seven job.
Speaker 7: It kind of seems like personnel around here is a
Speaker 7: January to the end of April job. You know, when
Speaker 7: you look when you start to talk about now, hey,
Speaker 7: they they're working on something to help their team. I
Speaker 7: mean that, well, we can't get into right now. But
Speaker 7: I just wonder, I mean, is it really with that
Speaker 7: or are you just so draft dependent that you just say,
Speaker 7: you know what, we can't we can't do anything, you know.
Speaker 3: And I'd love for them.
Speaker 7: To somebody to say, like to Jerry, to say, we
Speaker 7: believe in the draft, we want to work the draft.
Speaker 7: We don't want to we've been burned in free agency before.
Speaker 7: We don't want to play in free agency. If somebody
Speaker 7: would come out and tell me that, then I would
Speaker 7: have a better feel for you know, I like to me, personnel,
Speaker 7: when you say it's three sixty five twenty four seven,
Speaker 7: I believe you. That's pro personnel, that's college, that's everything involved.
Speaker 3: You know, at times I don't feel that's really the
Speaker 3: case here.
Speaker 6: You know, I'll throw this little caveat copy caveat at
Speaker 6: you I don't know if it stops at April, it
Speaker 6: just takes a hiatus in at the end of it,
Speaker 6: oh yeapl and.
Speaker 10: Then it doesn't.
Speaker 6: It doesn't happen during free agency, but then it starts
Speaker 6: back up in August, because in August they'll go out
Speaker 6: and get those bargain change that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, It's just I wonder if it really you know,
Speaker 7: because you're really really good at this draft and stuff,
Speaker 7: and at times you could be really good at this
Speaker 7: pro personnel stuff, you know, but it just seems like
Speaker 7: to me, it's not.
Speaker 2: Always March is not their time, not marches at their time.
Speaker 7: All right, Derek, I got a question for you here.
Speaker 7: All right, what's the biggest thing holding this team.
Speaker 6: Back as of right now? It would have to be
Speaker 6: the defense. And what I mean by that is I
Speaker 6: still have to see more to believe that the run
Speaker 6: defense is fixed. And now you've just exacerbated that problem
Speaker 6: because you've lost your two best pass defenders and and
Speaker 6: and a really good run defender in in in tank.
Speaker 6: So those two things I think right now, the biggest
Speaker 6: problem they have right now is their defense. Their offense
Speaker 6: just needs to get clicking. I think their offense is very,
Speaker 6: very capable, and if they're gonna win games during this period,
Speaker 6: they're gonna have to outscore a lot of teams. So
Speaker 6: I have faith in the offense that they'll get it right.
Speaker 6: The defense, though, I'm very, very, very worried.
Speaker 8: About, Hey, g biggest thing holding this team back, I
Speaker 8: mean injuries at the moment. But other than that, and
Speaker 8: other than the defense, I mean, I have to go
Speaker 8: with the running game. And we've already were tired of
Speaker 8: talking about it, but it's like we're heading we're in
Speaker 8: what week five now, and you've had plenty of time. Yes,
Speaker 8: you've had plenty of time, I feel like to try
Speaker 8: different things with the running game and even see what
Speaker 8: you have in Dalvin Cook, and you haven't tried that yet.
Speaker 8: So it just sometimes you see them making certain choices
Speaker 8: or decisions that just doesn't make a lot of sense
Speaker 8: to the outsider. And I get it. It's different perspective
Speaker 8: from in there where you're seeing every single practice full
Speaker 8: on and being with these guys. But as a viewer,
Speaker 8: as an spectator, did I say that a spectator? You
Speaker 8: scratch your hand, You're like, what are we doing here?
Speaker 8: Why don't you you know? So it's just we shouldn't
Speaker 8: be at this point in Week five trying to figure
Speaker 8: out how this offense can score more points. Last week
Speaker 8: they did okay, they scored two touchdowns, but at the
Speaker 8: same time, it was against the Giants that you expected
Speaker 8: them to or me to be a lot better and
Speaker 8: it wasn't there. So I think it's just gonna be.
Speaker 8: It's gonna get tougher with the next upcoming teams.
Speaker 3: Nick biggest thing holding this team back.
Speaker 4: I think it's the same thing from as I probably
Speaker 4: would have said in Week eighteen last year. And no
Speaker 4: one likes this label being put on them, So it's
Speaker 4: probably gonna ruffle a couple of feathers because I've tried
Speaker 4: touching this topic with certain players.
Speaker 10: They didn't like it.
Speaker 4: But this is not a physical football team. It's not
Speaker 4: a physical football team on either side of the ball.
Speaker 4: And when you look at it on paper, they can't
Speaker 4: run the ball, they can't stop the run, there's discipline issues.
Speaker 4: This is not a physical football team. And I think
Speaker 4: if they can up the physicality and they can have
Speaker 4: a reputation like a Pittsburgh you know, like when you say, yeah,
Speaker 4: they're gonna go play Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh's gonna beat you up
Speaker 4: because they're no to do that. No one's saying that
Speaker 4: about the Cowboys. They haven't said about the Cowboys in
Speaker 4: a long time. I think that is the biggest thing
Speaker 4: holding this team back, because when you look at teams
Speaker 4: that are still playing late in January or in February,
Speaker 4: the Chiefs are going to beat you up. Forty nine
Speaker 4: Ers are going to beat you up. The Lions, the Bengals,
Speaker 4: the Ravens, whatever it is. Those teams are physical, and
Speaker 4: those teams are typically the ones that are playing deep
Speaker 4: into the playoffs. I think that's the biggest thing holding
Speaker 4: this team back. And it would take a lot, i think,
Speaker 4: and it would be a multi year problem solution to
Speaker 4: be able to fix that problem going forward.
Speaker 6: And you know, it's interesting you look at a team
Speaker 6: like Detroit and that head coach Dan Campbell, and when
Speaker 6: he got there, one of the things he talked about,
Speaker 6: it's kind of obviously became a meme, but he's.
Speaker 2: Like, we're biting me.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're gonna be physical, we're gonna be mean, we're
Speaker 6: gonna be tough. That wasn't what they were when he
Speaker 6: got there. But i'd be darned if right now they
Speaker 6: are exactly that. Right now that they are a physical
Speaker 6: football team, they get after you and and so to
Speaker 6: your point, I do wonder if you know certain coaches
Speaker 6: have just the way of creating that physical whatever that is.
Speaker 12: Yeah, right, And I don't.
Speaker 6: Know what it is, but I know when he got
Speaker 6: there it wasn't that. And what I know now is
Speaker 6: it is so somehow that coach, whether it was the
Speaker 6: types of players that they brought in, personal change, whether
Speaker 6: it was the mindset that he instilled in them, whether
Speaker 6: it was how they practice, whether it was how they
Speaker 6: trained like there could be a lot of different factors.
Speaker 6: I don't know because I'm not there. I just know
Speaker 6: the end product is they weren't a physical football team.
Speaker 6: He said they would be a physical football team. They
Speaker 6: are now a physical football team.
Speaker 4: I think it's probably all of those factors wrapped up.
Speaker 4: But I think more so than anything, it's personnel changes.
Speaker 4: Because there's some guys that you have in any locker room.
Speaker 4: I'm not talking about this one specifically, but in any
Speaker 4: locker room that are just bad apples towards certain things.
Speaker 4: And I think when you look at the physicality department,
Speaker 4: there's players on this team that are just not physical
Speaker 4: and they never will be, and that's that's their play style.
Speaker 4: And you know, you look up mid twenties, early thirties,
Speaker 4: that's your play style.
Speaker 10: And I don't think it can necessarily.
Speaker 4: Be hammered into a person or hammered into a entire unit.
Speaker 4: I think it's it starts with drafting guys who come
Speaker 4: from programs that have that type of reputation.
Speaker 6: But to that point, though, I would say, like if
Speaker 6: we went down man for man, I would I could
Speaker 6: point out some guys that their makeup to me at
Speaker 6: least seems to be the physical.
Speaker 4: Means absolutely, and Tyler Smith overshown I mean old drafted.
Speaker 2: We talked about Bbie when he was drafted.
Speaker 6: We talked about Guiding when they were drafted, Like these
Speaker 6: were guys that came out of college with that that
Speaker 6: reputation of being a little bit surly, right, And so
Speaker 6: I wonder like, if you go man for man, it
Speaker 6: seems like they got enough of those mean, physical type players.
Speaker 6: So why is that not translating as you call it,
Speaker 6: to that being.
Speaker 10: The unit in my eyes?
Speaker 4: And I feel like whenever you do look at it
Speaker 4: side by side, Okay, these are all those surly players
Speaker 4: like you mentioned, our physical guys, and these are the
Speaker 4: guys who are probably not helping that department. I think
Speaker 4: this list is impacking you a lot more at the
Speaker 4: end of the day. But I do think whenever you
Speaker 4: look at draft strategy over the last few years, there
Speaker 4: has been an intention to bring in guys like that,
Speaker 4: but I don't think that started until twenty twenty two,
Speaker 4: and I think it's going to take a couple of
Speaker 4: years to be able to get everybody in the building.
Speaker 4: I think it happened for Detroit a little bit quicker
Speaker 4: because they actually go out in free agency and spend
Speaker 4: some money there and getting guys like David Montgomery in
Speaker 4: the building or building that offensive line with guys like
Speaker 4: Frank ragb right now.
Speaker 6: And they've been bad for so long, they get a
Speaker 6: lot of top picks too, right, yea, they get a
Speaker 6: lot of top first round picks. Over time, you can
Speaker 6: build something with that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, they got a tough, tough coaching staff.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you look.
Speaker 3: At you look at you know.
Speaker 7: I mean Ben Johnson is a kind of a quiet guy,
Speaker 7: but he goes for the throat when you watch him
Speaker 7: call plays. He's got a little bit of that, you know,
Speaker 7: like I bet you Dan Campbell kick clicks over on
Speaker 7: that head sentence says, hey, you start running the ball. Now,
Speaker 7: you can run it. Now, let's go, let's run. Let's
Speaker 7: run a few plays here and and then Aaron Glenn
Speaker 7: is a defensive coordinator.
Speaker 3: Aaron Glenn is a corner. He was a tough guy.
Speaker 7: So, I mean, I think a lot of it has
Speaker 7: to do with how your coaching staff. I listened to
Speaker 7: Jerry Jones and this morning talk about the Ravens, you know,
Speaker 7: with Harrball in that group. I mean, he's like, this
Speaker 7: is one of the better teams I've seen, you know,
Speaker 7: us play. You know, he had a lot of respect
Speaker 7: for the Ravens. We all kind of think of of
Speaker 7: of John Harball is that, you know, the Ravens are
Speaker 7: always tough.
Speaker 3: They've got tough players and stuff.
Speaker 7: So I like, yeah, well, see Detroit that lost all
Speaker 7: those close games, and then all of a sudden they
Speaker 7: went on a roll a couple of years ago where
Speaker 7: they started winning close games. And then they went to
Speaker 7: green Bay with nothing to play for, you know, but
Speaker 7: pride and and and green Bay. All Greenby had to
Speaker 7: do was win and they were in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Troy beat him straight up.
Speaker 7: You know, I think that that kind of stuff, when
Speaker 7: you go and do things like that, it makes your
Speaker 7: team really believe in what you're doing. You know, So
Speaker 7: I like what you did there. Okay, Ambar. Other than
Speaker 7: Dak Prescott, this offensive player.
Speaker 3: Needs to be huge this next two weeks.
Speaker 7: Other than Dak Prescott, this offensive player needs to be
Speaker 7: huge these next two weeks.
Speaker 3: I think that's with the Steelers and Lions games.
Speaker 2: Oh, I got one for you.
Speaker 8: Oh interesting. I think the obvious answer for me here
Speaker 8: would be a guy like CD Lamb if they're find
Speaker 8: their connection because we Weaving saw it last year when
Speaker 8: they were connecting, they were on a roll, and that
Speaker 8: even opened up other players to worry. Makes you question, Okay,
Speaker 8: get that guy, the ball gets so and so the ball.
Speaker 8: So I think that when CD Lamb is at his peak,
Speaker 8: it just creates an opened creates more opportunity for everybody
Speaker 8: on the field because now they got to worry about him,
Speaker 8: and you can take advantage of that. But there are
Speaker 8: plenty of other guys on the offense that you could
Speaker 8: add to that list where you need them to step up.
Speaker 8: But at the same time, Mike McCarthy and the way
Speaker 8: he's scheming things. That's where I see the bigger problem.
Speaker 8: It's a combination of McCarthy creating these plays but also
Speaker 8: the players executing it. Because you've seen so many guys
Speaker 8: that are talented. I mean Cavanta Turpin, another guy we
Speaker 8: talked about all throughout the training camp. Training camp, Oh,
Speaker 8: he's going to be a good, big weapon for this offense,
Speaker 8: and then all of a sudden he's kind of disappeared,
Speaker 8: and you don't really see much of that either. So
Speaker 8: I think it's more now I just went down a spiral,
Speaker 8: but I think at least get Ceedee Lamb back to
Speaker 8: his peak.
Speaker 10: Cur Brandy Cooks.
Speaker 4: I think if if they can get Brandon Cooks involved
Speaker 4: over these next two weeks, it's going to allow a
Speaker 4: lot more one on one situations for Ceedee Lamb coming
Speaker 4: off of the bye week. I think that's really important
Speaker 4: going into a game like the forty nine Ers. I'm
Speaker 4: afraid that defenses are not scared of anybody on the
Speaker 4: offensive side of the ball other than Ceedee Lamb.
Speaker 10: And I think if that continues.
Speaker 4: To stack as weeks go by, and they don't put
Speaker 4: respect on Brandon Cooks or Cavante Turpin or even a
Speaker 4: Jake Ferguson. Then that's only going to make life more
Speaker 4: difficult for Ceedee Lamb. I would say Rico Daubtle, but
Speaker 4: I think we've established that there's not really a running game.
Speaker 4: If he did have a huge two weeks, they would
Speaker 4: obviously be ginormous for this offense. But I think for
Speaker 4: looking realistically Brandon Cooks, I think if he has a
Speaker 4: huge two weeks, he gets one hundred yard game, two
Speaker 4: or three touchdowns over these next couple of weeks, then
Speaker 4: it can start to open up this passing game a
Speaker 4: little bit more and really kind of gets you taken
Speaker 4: that next step in the passing game since your running
Speaker 4: game won't do it for you.
Speaker 6: Derek Eagleton, I am shocked that we went through two
Speaker 6: answers and nobody said Tyler Geiden.
Speaker 10: It was second. It was my look at thoughts too.
Speaker 2: They got coming up.
Speaker 10: Whatton, arguably the.
Speaker 6: Best defensive player on both those teams, will probably be
Speaker 6: matched up against Tyler Guiden.
Speaker 10: Can I say why I didn't say that's worrisome? To
Speaker 10: reason why?
Speaker 4: I didn't know because he didn't have a huge game
Speaker 4: against Cleveland, but he was serviceable. Yeah, I feel like
Speaker 4: if he could just be serviceable these next two weeks,
Speaker 4: but you get a huge game from Brandon Cooks, then
Speaker 4: I feel like that would make a bigger impact.
Speaker 10: That's that's the only.
Speaker 2: Reason I understand that.
Speaker 6: I guess what I'm thinking more about is your offense.
Speaker 2: If you have to keep giving him help your offense.
Speaker 6: Which they have it they did in this last game, right,
Speaker 6: but they did in that first game, right, if they
Speaker 6: have to do that because they're looking at this game
Speaker 6: and they're like, man, those two guys. That severely limits
Speaker 6: what your offense can do because now you got to
Speaker 6: give him help. You got to keep guys back to
Speaker 6: be able to help him out. And even at that,
Speaker 6: you're probably not gonna win all the time, which we
Speaker 6: just gonna change your offense. And I think, like I
Speaker 6: said before, this offense is going to have to be
Speaker 6: on like it's gonna have to be hyper good in
Speaker 6: order to sustain the challenges that the defense is having
Speaker 6: right now. And so I need Tyler guy more than
Speaker 6: anybody else. I need him to handle up this week
Speaker 6: and next week because that's going to give the offense
Speaker 6: the best chance if CD just gets off because Tyler's
Speaker 6: doing his job. I don't know if I necessarily and
Speaker 6: worry too much about Brandon Cook. Quite frankly, I think
Speaker 6: I would be even more like I'm looking at a
Speaker 6: guy like Jayleen Tolbert, and I'm like, Jalen Tobert, give
Speaker 6: me more of what you've been getting, because from what
Speaker 6: I've seen the training camp throughout the beginning of the season.
Speaker 6: Give him more opportunities. I'm down with that, and I
Speaker 6: think he's going to make the most of them. Cavante Turpin,
Speaker 6: give him more opportunities. I'm down with that. I think
Speaker 6: he's gonna make the most of it. I'm less concerned
Speaker 6: about Cooks at this point. I'm more concerned about my
Speaker 6: left tackle because if I can't block it, I can't
Speaker 6: get the ball.
Speaker 8: The way I see it in my head is like
Speaker 8: we've seen it at times where Dak he could get
Speaker 8: rid of the ball very very quickly last year. I'm
Speaker 8: talking about where even if someone was coming, the pressure
Speaker 8: was coming, he's already the ball is gone. He already
Speaker 8: threw that path. So that comes with having the certainty
Speaker 8: or the confidence in your passing game with the receiver
Speaker 8: and who you're getting too. So I think if the
Speaker 8: relationship with CD and the connection there improves, you can
Speaker 8: get rid of the ball quickly, which.
Speaker 6: Then gives Though, if you're gonna if you're gonna be
Speaker 6: at a game where your defense is giving up points, you're
Speaker 6: gonna have to have something like you were talking about earlier, Brian,
Speaker 6: where you were saying it feels like this offense has
Speaker 6: to work for every yard at some point. If you're
Speaker 6: gonna win some of these games that are gonna be
Speaker 6: high scoring games, you have to have some big plays.
Speaker 6: And big plays typically take time for the receiver to
Speaker 6: get downfield and get open, which means you gotta block
Speaker 6: it right. And that's where I'm a little bit concerned.
Speaker 6: It just doesn't match.
Speaker 8: Up completely killing you right now.
