But I do have. I do have, 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.520 like a job outside of just getting ready for the show. Yeah, 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.560 you're right, no respect.

When 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:18.240 I'm not when I'm happy to miss the show. I 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.759 love coming in doing the show with you guys. Danny 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.880 joining us again today, special guests, Thank you for joining 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:28.959 us always. Yep, Dave, Hi, Hi Derek. I ever know 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:32.320 why I went up an active there puberty puberty date 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:34.600 right there with a beard with a beard, right, a 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:36.920 full grown beard. Hi. All right, we got a lot 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.240 of stuff to talk about today. It's a gumbo show, 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.520 so we'll dip all around the NFL and around the 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:48.080 Cowboys and what. It's nothing. Sorry, we'll just see what 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:49.360 the where the show takes us. We got a lot 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:50.760 of stuff we can talk about, all right. So I 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.800 want to start first though, with injuries for a few 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:55.760 guys coming out of this game. A couple of guys 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:57.800 that were injured going into the game, but I just 0:01:57.880 --> 0:01:59.840 kind of want to get some status on where they are. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.120 Lyle Collins talking to me about where he is at 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:03.800 this point, and he did get hurt during the game, 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.200 left the game. Um, where what do we know about 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.079 him at this point? No two knees are the same, 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.040 No two injuries are the same. But it's an MCL 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.640 sprain and we're talking about it like he's gonna have 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.680 a chance to play Sunday, which is one of those 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.400 this is insane type of things, because that's what knocked 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.880 that l football is that's what's knock Dan swine Woods 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.960 out since September fifteenth, It's been three weeks and all 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.760 the difference Again, two different knees, two different sprains, two 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.679 different guys. I get that. Still kind of crazy to 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:36.000 think he could play six days after spraining his MCL. Yeah, yeah, 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.120 And I think when you look at the team, and 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:40.840 I hate to do this, you know, you look at 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.520 it all. You're playing an O and four team against 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.080 the Jets, and they do have some talent though up front, 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.000 so you know off the quarterback back, you do have 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.200 their quarterback back. Yeah, he's the they named him the starter. 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.799 He's going to start. Good. Good for him, So does 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:56.760 change things a bit, Sam Arnold, for those of you 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:02.400 aren't familiar, wad you go that? Well? Because there, Yeah, 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:04.680 he's not the best, but I mean there'll be a 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:06.720 better football team with him. He'll have some games where 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.600 he's like really really good. So for some reason, the 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.359 gutboys tend to make some players become really really good. 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.160 So it happens. Yeah that really what I was talking 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.920 about was going back more to Lyle. Let's say he 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:24.040 doesn't play, I think the who starts Cam. That probably 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.880 depends on Tyrn Smith, which he is. They're optimistic about 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.720 him coming back from his ankle, which is again promising 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.520 crazy high ankle sprain, and might be on the field 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.640 two weeks later. If if it's if Tyron plays, then 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.400 I would say it's Tyrant and Cam. If Tyrant doesn't play, 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.760 then it's probably sixty minutes of Cam and Brandon Knight. 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.280 Well take I would, honestly, I think i'd start Brandon Knight. 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:49.080 I think I would at right tackle. First of all, 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:50.760 tell me how did he play this last Sunday when 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.360 he had to play in relief of Lyle Collins. I 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.560 think he played well based off of that um But 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.560 I think that yeah, I think we're grading, you know, 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.840 on We're not grading on a curve there. We're like, 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:08.040 hey this this guy. Um, No, we are actually because 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:09.720 he comes in it's like, oh man, it's Brandon Knight. 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:11.760 He's never played before. It's not too bad. But yeah, 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:13.720 Dak almost got killed a couple of times. But I 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.320 think he hung in there pretty good. Almost died. But 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.800 I thought he played very well for an undrafted rookie 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.480 who spent more time at guard than tackle the last 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.839 two months to come in cold off the bench in 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:27.840 the third quarter. I thought he played very well. It's 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.520 not he wasn't perfect, That's not what I'm saying. But 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.919 I thought he handled the circumstances great. But if Lyle Collins, 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.359 that was Lyle Collins, we would be wondering if he 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.880 you know, why did they sign him? Yeah, but get 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.440 I gread on a curve. Yeah, you I always say that. 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:44.640 I mean, yeah, I hold him to a different standard 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:46.920 than Brandon Knight. Yeah, and I grade on a curve 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.440 when it's progress reports. But when it's time for the 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.440 end of the year of report card that I mean, 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.960 it is what it is. I mean, Yeah, we disagree 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:58.120 on We always always will mean, Dad, No, we we 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:02.800 will always disagree. We've done several times. Is Blake Jarwin 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:06.000 better than Jason Witten? Well, you know what I mean? 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:11.520 Stuff like my expectations for a player always influence how 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.080 I perceive, like how I grade them. You know, So 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.839 Antoine Woods gets a higher grade last year for where 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.679 he was coming out of training camp as opposed to 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.359 a Malie Collins or any other you know, then how 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.680 you would even grade him this year coming out? Yeah, 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.359 my expectations for him are different than the Yeah, anyway, 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.880 that's a different conversation. But speaking if he was warming 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.839 up kind of going back to injurance, he was warming 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.560 up with them. I mean, no, he wasn't going to play, 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.159 but he was warming up. Yeah, he confusing me. He 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:42.359 had that jersey T shirt on. What what was he wearing? 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:44.520 It was like, do you have his jersey? He was 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:46.560 just wearing his jersey. Yeah, he bore his jersey with 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:48.600 sweatpants and just kind of, you know, kind of like 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.040 kind of high school vibes, like trying to we one 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.560 of the guys and you know, I don't mean that 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.839 it is that's what back to the high school. You 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:58.920 still got the jersey, that's right, you know. And he 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.400 had different pants on Minesota's Quinn. So you never know 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.120 what's going on with that. I think Antoino play this 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:08.520 week just me wildly speculating on a Tuesday Omas did 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.520 they miss him last week? Well, Aaron Jones looked like, 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.360 you know, but Jim Brown. But but when we talked 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.840 about it yesterday, I think we all agreed the linebackers 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.600 were the biggest issue. So it was a defensive line 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.040 just as much a part of that. I disagree. I 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.080 think when he gets to the linebacker, I mean, you 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.200 don't want it to get to the linebackers all the time. 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.279 And yeah, but I think again, what I was saying 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:28.680 at least, and I'm not gonna speak for you guys, 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:30.720 what I was saying from what I was watching, it 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:34.120 looked like there were situations because everybody has immense gap integrity, 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.400 everybody has a gap, and it looked like the linebackers 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.279 weren't filling their gaps. That's not necessarily about the defensive line. 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.159 I didn't see a lot of defensive lineman necessarily getting 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.520 just thrown around and moved out of the way. It 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.760 just seemed like there were gaps that weren't being filled, 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.719 and I thought those were the gaps that the linebackers 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.719 should fill. The linebackers didn't play well, but I thought 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.279 the defensive tackles got washed out of the out of 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.120 the play pretty frequently last week. And maybe they were 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.320 put pressing to rush the passer because you know, Rogers 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.320 is so important to everything the Packers want to do. 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.440 But I don't I really, I'm not sure anybody in 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.320 the front seven had a good game. I mean, not 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.840 a not a great one. The guy. It actually did 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.440 stand out a couple of times was Covington now as 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.080 making a good play. Sometimes when you get washed out, 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.120 you don't see that they're out of the picture, you know. 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.760 But yeah, nobody upfront really played well. And there's a 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:25.240 reason he starts. I think getting you're starting one technique 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.120 back would be big this week. But isn't that how 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.480 Rod kind of teaches this whole thing that he kind 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:31.640 of tells him that here's your gap, and get up 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.040 your gap and get up feel and so it's it 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.080 may look like they're getting washed up when really they 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.040 had their gap. It's just their gap was not where 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.720 the ball went, and somebody else is responsible for that gap. 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.200 Well true, I mean I'm not saying it's just on them, 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.240 but it's just like with any position, you want your 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:49.360 starter back out there. So the last couple of games, 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.760 he's been out with three games he missed the Dolphins game, right, 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.600 two three. Yeah, he's been out since the Dolphins game. Yeah, 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:58.400 it'd be nice to have the stability of having your 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.280 starter back out there, right. Yeah, you would think that 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.320 he can make a difference because I mean, you know, 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:06.160 I'm I don't think the defensive tackles played their best game, 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.320 Goatteth Packers. All right? Talking about cam Fleming, how did 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.200 he perform last week? In relief of Tyren Smith actually 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.360 got in an argument with Rob Phillips about that. Yesterday 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.760 is a new and Rob, yeah, I know right, Yeah, 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.520 what's that? What they are? You treat a camp? Yeah? 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:23.960 How do I miss that? I again, I guess Finn 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:29.200 argument it's for it's not expect again, expectations or everything. 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.960 And I like, I was like, you know, for not 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.520 being Tyron and coming in and you know we've seen 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.880 we've seen left tackles give up seven sacks when Tyron 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.080 wasn't in there before. I thought he played all right. 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.440 And like when I say all right, I mean they 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.080 didn't lose this game because of cam Fleming's inability to 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:49.079 protect Dax. So like that's that's what I and Rob 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.800 was like, you can't be serious, Like he did not 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.240 play well, Like there were flags, there were sacks, there 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.440 was all and he makes a valid point, yeah, you know, 0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:59.560 compared to he didn't play a very good game, But 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.720 it like, did they lose because of their inability to 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:06.200 protect Dak from from edge rushers? I don't think like 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.320 Zadarius Smith and Preston Smith had good games, like, yes, 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.640 I know, but that's not why they lost, you know, 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.320 and not in my opinion at least, maybe it's a 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:18.360 part of it. Sure, yeah, I mean no, I can 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:22.240 always yes, you can always point fingers and lost. In 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.360 a game like this, there was lots of reason to go. 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.600 I mean there was because you can't just go with 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:28.640 stats and when it comes to the left tackle of 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:30.640 how many times he gave up a sack or whatever, 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:32.800 because all it takes is a couple of plays early 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.600 in the game, and then you have to ask yourself, 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.280 did Dak play well? Did Dak look like he was 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:40.520 ever rushing? Yeah he did. He had some throws that 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.760 he normally doesn't make, and so you know, you don't 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:45.719 have to worry about it when seventy seven's over here. 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.360 But when it's not seventy seven and you're already getting 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:51.200 hit a couple of times, that might change, you know what, 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:53.880 So I we max protecting more than we normally. Well, 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:55.720 there's a lot of things that get affected by early 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:59.640 pressure an ultimate team game, right, But if you were 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.720 going to rank the reasons why they lost, like minus 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:06.920 three in turnover differential packers averaging five yards a carry. 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.640 Where do you put that? How much of that stems 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.360 from him feeling pressured? Okay, that's what I'm asking. Where 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.079 do you put there? Okay, so let me ask this question. 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:19.000 Let's let's simplify those two things. If this game you 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:20.760 had to put it on one or the other, offense 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.360 or defense as to the main reason why the Cowboys lost, 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:31.599 which one do you go? That's stuff? Um? Defense? I 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.600 put it on the defense because, I mean, look, you 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.319 lose the turnover battle by three. That's really bad. But 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.520 helping the defense. It's not helping the defense. But the 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.280 defense just didn't put up much in the way of 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:48.160 resistance either. I mean again, Aaron Jones one hundred and 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:52.000 eighty five combined yards I think seventy five receiving and 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.319 one oh seven rushing. First opponent to ever rush for 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.640 four touchdowns against the Cowboys in a game, I think too, 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.800 if you don't have such an early deficit, allows the 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:00.920 Cowboys to have more options in terms of running the 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.880 ball and not having to rely on getting those yards. 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.040 But why did they have a deficit? Was it because 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.600 of their offense? I mean, if it was, what was 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:11.760 it at halftime. But I mean that on the defense, 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.400 what if it was seventeen to thirteen. What if it 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.920 was seventeen to ten, Yeah, wouldn't be a deficit. I 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:18.840 mean we were late into the third quarter and still 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.320 thirty one three. I think that lost because of the offense. 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.960 That's I mean, that's a great question. That's a hard 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:29.120 thing to definitively answer, because let's beat Garrett. The offense 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.400 put the defense in a terrible spot. The defense didn't 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.760 necessarily rise to that occasion either. Yeah. I mean, it's 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.240 like when Garrett was asked about the first interception, was 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.040 it on Cooper or was it on dec He's like 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.200 that could have thrown a better ball, Cooper could have 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.800 made a better catch. Moving on, offense, could have played 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.360 better defense, and both true too, both can be true. 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.840 Garrett's really good. Sorry, let's make some kicks on special teams. 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.040 Let's let them in there. I got a whole segment 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.560 special for special teams. We got a whole special segment 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:58.920 for special teams. Let's go and take our first break. 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:00.640 We come back. I do still want to ask one 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.480 of the question about the offensive line. I want to ask, 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.640 do you guys think that At this point, let's assume 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:06.880 for a second that both your starting tackles are out 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.000 to the Cowboys. Consider Connor Williams and maybe sliding him 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.920 out to tackle as opposed to going with Fleming and 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:15.280 going with Brandon and I. We'll talk about that when 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.120 we come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. Well, 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.679 a player can look good on paper, it's one he's 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.760 out on the field that you really find out what 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.880 he's made of. That's why the Cowboys rely on more 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.160 than just stats and scouting reports when building their team. 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.360 When picking a tractor, it's why you should rely on 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.040 more than just specs and features.

It is the second segment of 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.240 the Break Life Nest WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:25.640 We're doing a show. We're talking about a little bit 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.880 of everything. We've been spending some time in the offensive line. 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:31.080 Question I posed right before the break was do you 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.800 think the Cowboys should consider moving Connor Williams out the 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:37.000 tackle assuming that Tyran and Lyle both are out for 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.400 this next game? Would you consider moving Connor out there 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.760 to get a better five offensive alignment onto the field 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.440 and you're putting Xaviers to a Filo at left guard, 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.520 or you take your thing between him and Joe. Both 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:51.280 of them I think are really good. Xavier has been 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.120 the first guy off the bench when he would probably 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.520 so this is if both of them can't play. Both 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.840 your tackles are out this game, you can either go 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.720 with Brandon Knight and Cam Fleming and you don't have 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:03.960 to move any other pieces, or you can take Connor 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:05.640 and put him at one of those positions and throw 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:07.520 one of the other guard tell you this, have Cam 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.560 out there. I would at least get Connor some practice 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.600 at tackles so you can do it if if if 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.680 it starts going south, yeah, I would at least get 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.840 him some reps fields where he played in college. Yea, necessarily, 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:23.720 it's so new. I know it's changing two positions. Yeah, 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.720 he played at left tackle. Right yeah, left. Yeah, it's 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:30.080 a pretty good tackle. That's I'm kind of I'm I'm 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.760 tempted to punt on this question just because I feel 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.040 pretty good that Tyrant's going to be able to play. Yeah, 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.080 like the just play alone. Can you know? Well, I 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.680 just you know, bait, I worry that we're gonna like 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.000 scare the crap out of some of our listeners talking 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:46.160 about Okay, let's make it clear we think or Dave 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:51.320 thinks that Tyrant's going to play. Yeah, now play the game. Okay. Yeah, 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.280 I mean you're you're trying to figure out who that 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.840 you're five best, right, and we don't really know if 0:15:56.280 --> 0:16:00.680 if if putting him at right tackle, Connor Williams actually 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.280 putting him at tackle, because if they both don't play, 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:05.040 I think I put him at left tackle and I 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.520 put Cam back on the right side. Put Connor at 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.080 left tackle. Yeah, it's where he played. No, it's gonna 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.200 play I mean because because teams are who do you 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.400 think about a run blocker? No, And we've had this conversation, 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.920 should be the guard, right You think we've had this 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.880 conversation a few dozen times. Is like, I you know, 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.360 I don't know that the left tackle right tackle thing 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.360 means as much as it did back in the old 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.040 days of the NFL. I could think, well, yeah, but 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.840 it does matter from a standpoint the actual tackle himself, 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.480 not so much the competition he goes against right. But 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.960 there it's different when you're think about just doing anything 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.080 left handed versus right. Yeah, it changes right. So that's 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:42.280 the part where well Dak is still right handed. So 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.360 I mean, and he's not, you know, it doesn't have 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.040 eyes in the back of his head like most quarterbacks 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.720 other than Tony. But there's another guy in the league 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:52.320 doing that too. Now I forgot who it was. I 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:56.480 saw a couple mightbeve my homes. He's unbelievable. But but 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.160 I mean, you still have to worry about, you know, 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:02.400 your blind side, and I think that was affecting him 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.320 last week. I really do. I think he got a 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:08.720 little figure happy rattled on his way to four sixty three. Really, 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.520 I do, I do, don't you? I mean, I don't know. 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:17.520 I mean he was terrible, honestly, But that's that's Deck. 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.160 Deck has these moments to win for whatever reason when 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:23.000 he's just not completely on. I mean, we've seen that. 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:26.760 This is not new true, but he had some throws 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:28.960 in there. I mean, like you can say what you want, 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.199 and I know it's been said probably on other shows 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:33.720 that he really only had one pick or two picks 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.320 whatever he if that's the case, he really could have 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.840 had five, you know, I mean, he was lucky to 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.400 have three. He got two back. The other argument, though, 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.040 is that in the offseason we're hearing from John Kitna 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.359 and Kellamore. You know, we want him to just rip it. 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:47.800 We wanted to throw it. So do you see this 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:51.760 more as confidence, like he's willing to take more risks. Hmm. 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:54.880 I wonder if Jason Garrett wants him to just let 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:58.280 it rip like that. I don't know when you like, yeah, 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:00.960 letting it rip is important, but like the too, the 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.280 throw that got picked off over the middle by Sullivan, 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.359 that's not letting it ripped. That's just not reading it right, 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:13.440 same same things I'm saying, I guess just generalized. I 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.080 want him to be confident and be willing to throw. 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:18.480 And you know, but that's like where you make like 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.240 a high percentage throw where like you know, my guy's 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:23.160 gonna get it or they're not gonna get it. Not 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:26.640 let me forget about this safety that dropped in coverage 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:29.000 that I just don't see it happens. I mean, I 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:31.320 don't know where he ranks now, but I believe Brett 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:34.080 Farr retired as the all time leader in touchdowns. He's 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.919 not anymore, but he was. He might still be the 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.639 all time leader in interceptions, sure so, and he was 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:42.800 a gun slinger like that. And then you do that 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:44.919 Romo was guilty of that, as water Sales calls them, 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:50.080 those indiscriminate throws, right. Yeah, so that's a good point. 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:52.680 But a couple of those throws though that deck made it, 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:54.640 and then he got away with some penalties that kind 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.119 of wiped out some of those interceptions as well. I 0:18:57.440 --> 0:18:59.280 do think we're getting back, we're getting off the rails. 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:04.600 I do think him kind of knowing that his whatever 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.480 mental clock was a little bit, you know, shorter this game. 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:11.240 So if that is true, I don't I don't want 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:12.919 to go as far as say I disagree with you, 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:15.080 but I'm not. I didn't come to that conclusion looking 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:19.360 at the game again. But will he be better off 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.959 with Connor Williams, who hasn't played left tackle since he 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:25.800 was in college doing that for him? Or Cam? Yeah? 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.160 Cam Fleming who isn't as good as Tyring but has 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.439 played a lot of left tackle in the league. Or 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:33.240 Connor Williams who was all big twelve two years ago 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:36.800
