When we 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:03.880 walked into this studio today, Isaiah looked at me, Yeah, 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:08.680 that's right, and he had this half finished bottle of 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:12.000 turn Up. Turn Up is a great way to put it. 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.560 Let's the sponsor be careful exactly. I'm not gonna say. 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.800 I'm not gonna say the sponsor because it was I 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.000 don't think it's anything really even a big name. It's 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.400 about to go crazy. Boys. People in the fitness industry 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:25.399 know that the name. Uh, he gave it to me 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.080 and was like, finish it. That's right, and it's it's 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:32.559 supposed to be like pre workout, like I up tick 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.520 and yeah, I finished it. So let's see this is 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.880 this is a social experiment happening right before you're very 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:42.160 at I finish it. Probably three minutes ago. I chugged 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.119 it all in one sitting. He definitely has about eleven 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.120 minutes left before he just started doing the fourth So 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:51.120 let's thanks start popping like scanners. Let's see what happens zero. 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:55.920 But the next already kind of late, little jittery to 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.720 me a little bit, Yeah, a little bit. It's probably 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.720 going over the rail here, buddy. It's probably because I'm 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.640 nervous about what I just got into my lley. He's 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:10.200 gonna start growling at me. Isaiah's up, run to the bathroom. 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:17.120 We know why. It's time to play the game. Yes, gentlemen, 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.639 how are we doing? Doing fantastic? You gotta keep it 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:23.080 hot with you, but we're doing well. You know, I'm 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:26.000 I'm nervous. I'm not gonna lie to you. We're gonna 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.080 see how it's going. Because Isaiah can handle that stuff. 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.480 He's got the body mask to do it. I'm just 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.640 I'm over here in the corner. You really did go 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.720 buttoms up on it. I like that. Are you struggling 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.280 like a man? Are you tired? No? I feel I 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.200 actually feel fine. You didn't need a jolt. I've been 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.360 up for a little bit. I've got my coffee in 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.040 this morning, early, I don't even have it with me, 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.000 my black rifle. I had it at home this morning. Uh, 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:52.799 let's get stuff. Pooky from New Jake City just be 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:57.440 calling me so. Cowboys Eagles one of the biggest divisional 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.480 matchups that we've seen in quite some time. And we'll 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.280 talk about that coming up in a minute. But Rob 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.840 Phillips hit us with some news and notes early on 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:07.000 Cowboys back on the practice field, Yes, back to practice. 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.480 A couple news and notes. Micah Parsons Defensive Player of 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:15.280 the Week for the NFC. He's only been the best 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:19.519 player in the NFL defensively league. Yeah, say that again, 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.280 Micah Parsons. What was the part after that? He's only 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.120 been the best defensive player in the in the NFL season, 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:31.600 maybe the pound for pound player period. He really deserved 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:35.640 this one because he did play three plus quarters with 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:39.200 a growing injury, and we'll see what his status is today, 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.040 how much work he gets done. I think they feel 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.880 pretty good about him playing this week. One roster move 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.880 practice squad addition at the tight end position Seth Green, 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.640 former Houston Texan former. I think he's from Allen, just 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.120 up the road here. Yeah, went to Houston for college. 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.560 He takes the spot of Tucker Addington the second long 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.120 snap that they had on the practice squad last week. 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.400 They're pretty banged up at tight end. We know that 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:08.480 Dalton Schultz only played ten snaps that pc el injury 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.640 flared up on him in the game. UM Jake Ferguson 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.560 was on the injury report last week. Sean mcun's been 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.880 banged up at times. Uh. They need depth at tight end, 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.719 so that's something to watch. I can eat some peanut 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:26.200 butter and make weight, you'll be right back at it. Minimum. 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.640 I'm just saying, get minimum one point two. Who oh 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:33.440 your boy, God me. Now, if you end up getting 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.400 the VET minimum and you sign as a tight end 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:38.000 over there, I think we need a portion of that. 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:43.200 We need to cut a chat. So I was talking 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.760 with some of the staff last week prior to the game, 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.480 and they were saying, we maybe shouldn't have played Dalton 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.280 Schultz as much as we did in the in the 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.120 Washington game, maybe we shouldn't have played him as much. 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.120 But he's good to go. This is gonna be fine. 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.839 He's he's back to back to being healthy, back to 0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:03.440 be and ready to go. And then like Rob just said, 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.840 ten snaps pcl flares up and they had had some 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.279 some things drawn up at a couple of times for 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:14.240 Peyton Hindershot, for Jake Ferguson as guys in the receiving game. 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.880 It didn't really work out because, like we talked about, 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:21.040 nobody outside a Ceedee Lamb and Noah Brown had a reception. 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:25.080 But it's interesting to me to think, now that Dalton 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:28.200 Scholtz is out, do they really have a struggle for 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.479 a wide receiver or at least a pass catcher. I 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:34.080 should say at tight end because Ferguson hasn't necessarily shown 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.000 it yet as a pass catcher. Hindershot has the ability, 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:39.680 but he's been limited to this point. I'm going with 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:44.200 Peyton himnder Shot. I'm gonna call him hymnder Shot. You know, Sholtz. 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:49.120 We talked about this wind Shots initially got injured pcls. 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.400 They need Risks to heal. He missed only one game. 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.040 We also discussed why he would try to manage through 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.440 the pain and get back. Obviously he's under a franchise tag. 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.680 He's got the two young gunners behind him, Ferguson and 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:04.640 pick Hindershot. You know, okay, But that said, he reaggravates 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.719 Fergie's dealing with a little something. Although Fergie did playing 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.000 sixty four percent of the snaps, but he missed a 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:14.719 practice because of a knee injury. Hindershot right now, outside 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:16.720 of the new addition to seth Green is your only 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:20.280 fully healthy tight end and he's proven that he can 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.560 make plays down the field. So does he need to 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.880 improve in his run blocking, Yes he does. But as 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.359 far as being able to separate, and I said this 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.000 before when it comes to Hindershot, there is not a 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.640 tight end on this roster. There's not a tight end 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.200 on several rosters that can separate the way that young 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.880 man can separate like his way he breaks out of 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:43.640 routes and his feet, his quickness, he separates like a receiver. 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.640 If he ever truly adds run blocking and pass blocking 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.640 to his to his Arsenal. He's going to be dangerous, 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:52.880 but in the immediate it has to be hindershot if 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.679 you're trying to find another receiving weapon for Cooper Cup 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.600 and then eventually Dak Prescott. I don't disagree with you, 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:03.719 just think that, you know, as you mentioned by the way, Yeah, yeah, 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:10.240 probably do that. Cooper Rush. I don't disagree with you. 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:14.920 I actually agree with you. The only problem is, as 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.520 I mentioned that yesterday, Kellen Moore is going to have 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.200 to open up this playbook. The number one priority has 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.720 been keeping Cooper Rush safe and protecting him, which is 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.560 why you haven't seen a whole lot of successful passes 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.000 going on, because these guys have been staying in to block. 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.720 A lot of the passes that are going down the 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.520 field aren't high precision passes or just some drops too 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:36.880 on some of the balls that he has delivered. But 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.239 there are not a lot of high precision passes because 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.880 you're having to try to push things down the field 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.080 for when you do take your shots, you're blocking it 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:45.760 up and trying to ensure that he has the time 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:49.640 to deliver the ball with high accuracy to get back 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.440 to Dallas's office. Yes, they check one box last week 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:55.440 by rushing the ball over thirty times. That's freaking awesome. Okay, 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.000 now we know what comes off of that. Play action 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.720 comes off of that. Are you willing to let these 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.560 tight ends now that are banged up right and let 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:08.239 Hindershot get out in routes at the exposure their possible 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:11.640 risk of Cooper Rush being under pressure. That's the question 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.440 that they're going to be posed with because that is 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.520 the response that they they need in order to generate 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.040 some offense here. You can't just run the ball and 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.960 run two main concepts. It's it's not a thing. It's 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.560 not it's not a thing unless you just simply just 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.560 wipe everybody off the planet with your running game, which 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:30.240 I don't think we're there yet. I think they were 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.280 persistent last week, but they're not too old Dallas Cowboys. 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:35.000 We just hand the ball off and just and just 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.440 beat them down to an entire game. They're gonna have 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.480 to get out and run some routes, and to do that, 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:43.000 you're gonna have to risk Uber Rush being under pressure 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.800 against this front, which is maybe the best total front 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:49.760 they will have faced this this whole year. Tom Pellaceo 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.000 from the NFL Network who's also plugged in around here, 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.640 said Schultz didn't have a new injury or damage. As 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.400 long as he gets through the week, he should be good, 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.240 good to go on Sunday. That's something to watch though, Like, 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.120 I don't know if it's as severe as the PCL 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:06.160 that Zeke had last year, but think about how limited 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.440 Zeke was the whole year. Like No, C just said 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:10.640 it requires rest, and there's no rest. I mean, you 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:12.400 get a bye week here in about three weeks, but 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.400 other than that, you gotta keep going. So he's gonna 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.000 try to play through it, I'm sure, but yeah, it 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:22.000 could be Hendershot Ferguson and you know you're probably looking 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.160 at potentially calling up Seth Greener mcun if he's good 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.040 to go to. I just I don't I don't like. 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.640 It's never a good thing for somebody who's been injured 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:34.080 a lot. Okay, it's never a good thing when somebody 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.439 does something in football and then stops and looks at 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:39.840 the body part that's actually bothering them. Like you try 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:41.319 to shake it off and he's like, ah, man, that 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:43.280 something is right, you know, saying you go to the 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.200 sideline and talk to the trainer, talk to the doctor's language. Yeah, 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.480 but when you stop and you start like messing with 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.679 your knee, looking at it, like, what's wrong with you? 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:53.920 What's going on in here? You wish you had X 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.959 ray vision because you're doing talking to it. That's airby. 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:58.400 I mean, we were in the studio watching it. He 0:09:58.440 --> 0:09:59.880 stopped his route and he's just like looking at it. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.240 He's messing with his knee, and I'm like, ooh, it's 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.160 not good. It's not good, and I'm I'm hoping that 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:08.080 the reporters are true, but it's it's It doesn't give 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:09.920 you a sense of hope, and I hate that for him, 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.560 especially this year. This is a huge year for him. 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:14.840 Not only was it a big hit for Dak to 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.559 go out because he is Dak's guy and he's his 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:20.960 DA you know, security blanket. We thought that he would 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:24.520 be Cooper Russians security blanket. Found out that Norah Brown 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.880 is his security blanket. So not only did he have 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.120 that big hit in terms of Dak not feeding him 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.760 the ball for this long duration at the time, now 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:33.959 he's hit with an injury. It's a double whammy for 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.080 kind of going back to what you said a few 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:41.520 episodes ago, Dalton is definitively Dak Prescott's guy. But now 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.640 when Dak comes back, you were asking if Dalton's gonna 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:48.400 get his targets not healthy enough? Logically yes, but he's 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:52.280 not healthy so maybe not. So you know, it's not 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.600 looking too promising for Shot unless he can kind of 0:10:55.640 --> 0:11:00.000 heal up on the job. But we've seen as recently 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.080 is Ezekie Elliot in twenty twenty one healing up on 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:06.040 the job when it's a spring pcl. It's just those 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:07.880 two things don't marry well. And this is why guys 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.520 hate the franchise tag. Oh no doubt, no, it's true. 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.080 This is why when you when the fans out there like, oh, 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:14.760 I'll just go out there and sign the contract your 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.040 makeup to make all this money this one year. This 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:21.040 is why people. I mean it's guaranteed and contracts year 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.280 to year or not guaranteed, but you get that lump 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:25.480 sum of guaranteed money that is a lot more than 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.160 ten point nine million or whatever he got. So if 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:31.000 you don't think that he's losing money right now, well 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:35.160 he at the moment, he's losing future revenue at the moment. Well, 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.280 because you think about it, if you come back next year. 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:40.800 The Cowboys could tag him, but with his production this year, 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.439 or at least the injuries, they probably won't. They're not 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:48.800 gonna go and he can't come last year. Yeah, unless 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:55.080 he just goes on. He's still never had a one 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.760 hundred yard receiving game in his career. He's never had one, 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.920 so to this point point, even if he were to 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.040 come in and explode, it would be for like eight 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.640 catches eighty yards and maybe a touchdown, maybe two if 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:10.760 he gets lucky. So that's not even ms. Yeah, in 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:14.559 terms of the ceiling that we've seen from Dalton Schultz, 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.400 he would have to really go off to even get 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.440 close to the numbers he had last year, which is 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.079 what he was pushing for contract wise. Anyways, you brought 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:25.480 something up barely. This is a league wide conversation, but 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:27.839 scoring is down in the NFL at the moment. You're 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.560 at forty two points per game, which is about five 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.040 or six points less than it is normally on average, 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.319 and that's combined points per game, not just per team. 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.800 So scoring is down across the board in the NFL, 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.920 and a big reason for that has been the lack 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:45.160 of play or the lack of effectiveness in offensive line play. 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.520 Throughout the season, offensive lines, not only Withoud the Dallas Cowboys, 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.560 but across the league have not been good. And that's 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.440 a byproduct of college football in the way that the 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.720 spread offense is gone for the last ten two or 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.319 five to ten years or so in college ball, and 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.280 now all those guys are making it into the NFL 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.520 and they're having to relearn the position and doing it 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:09.200 do it a different way. Good point. So with that 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.800 being said, we're seeing a lot of tight ends around 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:15.080 the league having to max protect, having to come in 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.560 and block more than being a receiver. Where it seemed 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.360 like with the Kelsey's and the Kittles and the Wallers 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.280 of the world, we're moving the tight end position into 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:27.240 a past catching heavy situation. Feels like this year that's 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.880 reverted backwards and you haven't seen those high end tight ends. 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:34.319 Even Kelsey the other day he had four touchdown grabs. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.000 He had like five catches, like that was it. It 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:38.400 was all in the red zone. That was the only 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.200 time he was targeted. Is this a change in the 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.520 NFL this year that we're seeing that's going to continue 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.440 forward because of the lack of offensive line depth in 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.160 the NFL, and tight ends are having to make up 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:50.959 for that. That's probably part of it. I think we're 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:54.040 seeing it magnified here, and Isaiah spoke about it just 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:57.440 because of the situation the Cowboys are specifically and without 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.320 Dak and without Tyrann Smith, and they have a young 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.240 player at left tackle and Tyler Smith. I also think 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.920 I think defensers are just adjusting in general to what 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:09.920 this style of offense, the more spread out stuff. They're saying, Okay, fine, 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.120 I mean we saw what the what defenses did to 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.320 the Cowboys last year. What defensives are doing to the 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:16.360 best quarterbacks in the league at the Pat Mahomes, the 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.840 Justin Herberts, it's like, fine, we're gonna we're gonna zone 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:20.440 it up, We're gonna keep everything in front of us. 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.400 We're not gonna give you great stuff down the field. 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:26.000 And it's forcing offenses to be more plotting and methodical, 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.600 and it's not as fun. It's not as fun. But 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:31.240 that's been the defensive adjustment I think in general that 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:33.720 we've seen from defenses around the league, and that's to me, 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.600 that's one reason why scoring is down, and and that 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.000 does put more emphasis on your running game and having 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.800 to be more effective that way to get yardage because 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.080 this stuff over the top, it's kind of boring, but 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:48.480 I mean it's in a league that that is tilted 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.360 more towards the past. Defense has got to do something. Yeah, 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.320 I mean I have two things to say to that. One, 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:57.720 that shirt is phenomenal. That Peach, the way it just 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.000 jumps off that blue was just fantastic. Feels kind of 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.480 make sure but really bring out your eyes. Yeah, I 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:04.880 just had to put it out there for those that 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.560 are just listening to the audio only, check out YouTube video. 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.000 You got to see rob shirt. It's just it's fantastic. Um. 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.120 But to that point, I think it's everything in the NFL, 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:16.360 and and all you guys can agree, particularly as said 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.960 here having played in the league. Everything is cyclical, right, 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.520 So it went through a phase where offense was just shreddened, 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.320 defenses just all over the place. You know, the rules 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:28.000 helped legislate that into place as well. You can't really 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:31.440 touch a quarterback list not that's a whole different conversation, Christian. 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.680 You can't, you can't put hands or receivers, etcetera. So 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:36.920 eventually what was going to happen is what we're seeing 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:40.160 happening now is to Rob's point, defenses and defensive coordators. 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.360 They started to adjust for an offenses and started to 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:45.240 adjust and whom they bring in personnel wise via of 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.040 the draft and free agency to account for these high 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:51.480 powered offenses. The Patrick mahomes is of the world and 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:54.080 and you know Green Bay when Davante Adams was there, 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:58.000 those types of offenses. But so yes, to answer your question, 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.920 it's going to, I believe, continue for the foreseeable future. 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:07.320 But again it's cyclical. Eventually offenses will then adapt and 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.240 then it will again become an offensive driven league. But 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.640 for right now, is that happens this year? Yeah, I 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:15.280 don't know that it will happen as soon as this year, 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.520 because you're talking about defenses like the Cowboys, the forty 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.960 nine Ers, I mean the Eagles for example. I mean, 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:24.960 there are several teams in the NFC alone that can 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.400 shut down some of these high powered offenses. So I 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:30.000 think it's going to take a couple more seasons or 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.080 so before we see that the needles start to move 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:36.600 back in the opposite direction. Agree, look at the Chargers, 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.520 even like their defense, there's guys on every level of 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:43.040 that defense. The Chargers are real effects defensively and they're 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.360 like the twentieth ranked defense in the league right now. Yeah, 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.000 I mean it happens, and it's not because it's their fault. 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.440 They actually have decent numbers, but just defenses are starting 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:53.520 the shift and they're they're covering these tight ends. We 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.280 talked about it last week with j Ron Curse eliminating 0:16:56.320 --> 0:17:00.400 tight ends, eliminating good good time guys to deal with. 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.440 The Eagles got a tight end of their own they 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:04.280 got to look out for. We've got an Ope cursing 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.480 tight end. Yeah, he's just trying to cancel some people out. 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:11.359 Dallas Goddard and Company coming in hot at five a O. 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:13.639 We're gonna preview the Dallas defense and how they're going 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:16.760 to slow down that Philadelphia offense to starting with the 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:20.320 run game and the backfield for Philadelphia with Jalen Hurtson 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:24.920 company when we come back with more talking cowboys.

I'm trying to get this roo rodeo 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:21.800 boy all right. Eagles offense thirty eight points in week one, 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:24.120 twenty four points in the next two weeks. They put 0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:27.200 up twenty nine against Jacksonville, and then last week they 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:30.320 held on late against the Arizona Cardinals twenty to seven. 0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:32.199 Team is the final score? They are five and zero. 0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:37.280 Jalen hurtson Company look legitimate, but so does this Dallas defense. Right, 0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:39.440 It's gonna be fun. This is the matchup. I think 0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:44.240 everybody will have circled the Dallas defense versus the Philadelphia offense. Isaiah, 0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:47.000 your initial thoughts on what you're seeing from Philadelphia and 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:50.840 how dangerous are they really even based off of some 0:21:50.880 --> 0:21:52.760 of the schedule they've played so far, I feel like 0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:58.359 Bart Scott right now, Okay, can't wait. I'm looking forward 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:02.440 to it. These guys there, everybody talks about their defensive lining. Yes, 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:04.800 their defensive line will not allow you to run the ball. 0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:09.080 That's concerning because they have the big boys in the middle. Obviously, 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:11.160 with big I call them baby Davies, Big baby Davies. 0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:12.560 I know that was a basketball player. But I'm gonna 0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:15.640 call them big Baby Davies and in big Fletcher Cox. 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:17.239 They got hardgrow over there. They got me, they got 0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:19.040 they got some dudes right in the middle that won't 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:21.560 allow you to really be as successful as you like 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:23.119 to be on the ground game. We know that is 0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:26.480 very important for Dallas' success to be able to establish 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:28.880 the ground game because they haven't been throwing the ball 0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:30.879 the way they've wanted to. So that's a little bit 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:37.000 concerning Their defense doesn't scare me. The Dallas Is defense. Dallas' 0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:40.320 defense scares everybody, and they should. Philly's defense does not 0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:45.280 scare me. But they almost like their patient. They're very patient. 0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:47.760 They just chill. They do what they're supposed to do. 0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:50.119 They don't necessarily make a big bunch of big splash 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:52.359 plays unless you throw it up to them. If you 0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:55.040 throw it up Slay Gardner, Johnson and all them guys, 0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:56.320 they're gonna make you pay for it if you put 0:22:56.359 --> 0:22:57.800 it up in the air, if you try to run 0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:00.640 the ball on the ground. Fletcher Cox, big Baby, They're 0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:03.840 gonna remind you that they're in there. We're previewing Dallas 0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:06.960 defense versus Philly off I'm sorry, man, I pulled a piece, 0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:09.840 all right, So all right, let's flip it to the outside. 0:23:10.600 --> 0:23:14.400 Das defensive No, no, no no, no, exactly the whole thing. 0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:18.879 So Dallas Dallas's defense is very is very explosive in 0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:20.880 the sense that these guys will try to get after 0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:25.080 obviously the offense of Philadelphia, but Philadelphia has a lot 0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:29.360 of options that they provide in a lot of leverage problems. 0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:33.600 Dallas's advantage is that they're so explosive and they make 0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:35.920 big plays, and that the personnel groupings can obviously take 0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:39.040 advantage of that of Philly, even though they have some dudes, 0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:46.639 Dallas Dallas has better personnel matchups overall. The thing that 0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:51.240 concerns me is that they're so overly aggressive, not from 0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:53.399 the sense of dan Quinn putting them out of position 0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:55.680 in terms of blitzing and things of that nature, but 0:23:55.880 --> 0:23:58.199 from the sense that these guys like to make plays. 0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:01.800 And that's an amazing thing, as we've seen this year, 0:24:02.600 --> 0:24:06.920 until you start having leverage problems, until you're slowed down 0:24:07.000 --> 0:24:10.560 by the options that Philadelphia provides in terms of the RPO, 0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:13.480 and most people think RPO are either going to run 0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:15.760 the ball or gona passes in one place. No no, no, no. 0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:19.320 Philadelphia's rpo is I can run the ball right here 0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:22.119 because we have the numbers in the box and we 0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:25.040 have bigger guys on your smaller guys, and we have 0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:27.720 six five for six, whatever it might be, right, they 0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:29.679 feel good about there in the box running schemes, so 0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:31.840 they can do that. That's a run option. Or I 0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:34.920 think can running with Jalen Hurts. That's another option. Or 0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:37.040 we have three guys out to the bunch up top 0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:38.800 and we could run a screenplay because we have three 0:24:38.800 --> 0:24:41.960 guys blocking your two guys. Or we have Dallas Goddard 0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:44.119 down here and he's matched up, you know, him and A. J. 0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:45.679 Brown have one on one match up when we can 0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:48.360 run a screen down here as well. They put your 0:24:48.359 --> 0:24:51.639 defensive ends, your outside linebackers, at a disadvantage because they 0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:54.159 put you in no man's land. Whatever decision that you 0:24:54.160 --> 0:24:57.040 would like to make from your defensive position, they can 0:24:57.119 --> 0:25:00.520 make you wrong even though you're doing your assignment. You're 0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:02.760 doing what dan Quinn told you to do, but they 0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:04.960 still can make you wrong because they have three or 0:25:05.000 --> 0:25:07.199 four options that they can go with based upon the 0:25:07.240 --> 0:25:10.080 look that you give So that's the problem, and that's 0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:12.280 the thing that's concerning to me, because like even if 0:25:12.359 --> 0:25:15.000 Dallas does what they're supposed to do defensively, you still 0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:17.600 could be in a bad predicament. I'm gonna I'm gonna 0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:20.920 let up ticket Nix because I did some homework on 0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:24.200 the Eagles, specifically Monday night and then again last night, 0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:26.120 and I got some some numbers here that I want 0:25:26.119 --> 0:25:28.000 to tell us out. Okay, Yeah, just real quick to 0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:30.159 piggyback on what Isaiah said, if you go back and 0:25:30.200 --> 0:25:32.800 watch this Cardinals game, they didn't they didn't blow you 0:25:32.840 --> 0:25:35.199 away offensively. They at twenty points in the game. But 0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:39.040 like you said about options like if you want to 0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:42.199 load up up front against them, there was a lot 0:25:42.240 --> 0:25:44.520 of screen actions at a lot of stuff that got 0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:47.119 here quick outside and he can get yack for you. 0:25:47.200 --> 0:25:49.399 We know about DeVante Smith, we know about A. J. Brown. 0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:52.800 I just think we asked the question, I think on 0:25:52.880 --> 0:25:55.600 Fan Tuesday by a fan, like, can can the RPO 0:25:55.720 --> 0:25:59.320 stuff and the run games slow down? The Cowboys rushed 0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:01.640 and in some since, yes, it can. That's what That's 0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:03.600 what RPOs are designed to do. They're designed to make 0:26:03.640 --> 0:26:05.840 you freeze first A second, figure out what you're supposed 0:26:05.840 --> 0:26:08.360 to do. So I do think that is a concern 0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:10.679 because they're so good at it, and Hurts is so 0:26:10.720 --> 0:26:13.159 good at it, and Hurts has also become just a 0:26:13.200 --> 0:26:16.160 better overall passer too as part of that threat too, 0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:18.120 he is, he has really developed. I've been a fan 0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:19.320 of his since it came in the league. I know 0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:22.320 some people haven't. I'm one of those people. I'm not 0:26:22.359 --> 0:26:24.880 a crazy Hurts well they I think he can win, 0:26:25.000 --> 0:26:27.280 but I don't think he's a great quarterback lead put 0:26:27.280 --> 0:26:29.880 it out. They've done a hell of a job designing 0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:34.199 an offense around his strength. But he's also he's just 0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:37.640 impressed me since Alabama just he constantly gets better. He's 0:26:37.680 --> 0:26:40.440 such a pro. But they have such and they've done 0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:42.680 such a good job of adding players. I mean a J. 0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:45.879 Brown is a great addition to this defense or offense. 0:26:45.920 --> 0:26:50.040 So yeah, the RPO stuff. I'm curious where Micah Parsons 0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:54.080 goes because both these games last year were blowouts. Not 0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:56.639 everybody played in the final game. In Week three, it 0:26:56.720 --> 0:26:59.840 was a Cowboys blowout and they barely Eagles barely ran 0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:02.520 ball because it was such a lopsided game. Is it 0:27:02.560 --> 0:27:06.560 better for Mica to play on the edge or play 0:27:06.600 --> 0:27:09.200 off the ball and be able to survey survey things 0:27:09.240 --> 0:27:10.800 a little bit more. To me, that's part of the 0:27:10.880 --> 0:27:13.320 chess match too that I want to see. Okay, so 0:27:13.760 --> 0:27:18.320 here's some science on on the Eagles. Yes. Yes, the 0:27:18.400 --> 0:27:23.040 more I dug into this this team, the less impressive 0:27:23.119 --> 0:27:28.200 they became in one particular aspect, and that's the passing game. 0:27:29.320 --> 0:27:32.080 You have to love how they've designed their offense as 0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:34.760 far as personnel wise. You know, they went and got 0:27:35.160 --> 0:27:38.359 a J. Brown. It's crazy because their offense is irreally 0:27:38.440 --> 0:27:40.840 similar to Dallas is when Dak is a mix right, 0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:43.439 because a J. Brown is the same building type of 0:27:43.440 --> 0:27:47.439 player as Michael Gallup. For the most part, I did it. Um, 0:27:47.560 --> 0:27:50.479 DeVante Smith, Cite Lamb have the same skill set. You know, 0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:58.200 shifty guys can make plays, Um, But the word explosive 0:27:58.280 --> 0:28:00.720 keeps getting thrown around, right, And I was guilty of 0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:02.560 it as well until I started really digging into them. 0:28:02.560 --> 0:28:07.680 On Monday. Hurts has only four touchdowns, four passing touchdowns, 0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:10.840 and he has two interceptions. Cooper Rush has four touchdowns 0:28:11.160 --> 0:28:14.639 with no interceptions. That means Hurts is on pace for 0:28:15.280 --> 0:28:19.000 less than fourteen touchdowns this season to seven interceptions like that, 0:28:19.560 --> 0:28:22.440 those are bad numbers. That's not even par like that's 0:28:22.520 --> 0:28:27.400 so par. In passing zero passing touchdowns in three of 0:28:27.440 --> 0:28:31.760 their five games three of their five games, Hurts has 0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:34.800 not been able to find a receiver in the end zone, 0:28:34.840 --> 0:28:38.080 be a Goddard or Brown or Vantae Smith or whomever. 0:28:39.640 --> 0:28:41.880 It's so lopsided. This is what I was referring to 0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:46.360 during the breaks. It's so lopsided. They are explosive as 0:28:46.360 --> 0:28:50.320 a run offense, explosive, you gotta contain that. But as 0:28:50.320 --> 0:28:54.400 a passing offense, they are so not great as far 0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:57.440 as pay dirt. What they do well, it's what It's 0:28:57.480 --> 0:28:59.800 kind of matches what the Cowboys allowed to be done. 0:29:00.000 --> 0:29:03.280 How boys like Ben don't break. They rack up. They 0:29:03.360 --> 0:29:05.600 being the Eagles, they rack up a lot of yards 0:29:05.640 --> 0:29:10.040 in between the red zones. And yet Godard, for example, 0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:13.720 two hundred Goddard has two hundred and eighty yards after 0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:16.000 the catch, he leads all NFL players in there that 0:29:16.920 --> 0:29:19.800 this is going to segue too. We'll get the key 0:29:19.800 --> 0:29:21.640 matchups later in the week, but a one of my 0:29:21.680 --> 0:29:24.400 matchups to watch, it's going to be Curse versus Goddard 0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:27.240 and you know we set on media match. They were asking, well, 0:29:27.280 --> 0:29:29.520 will you know how do you stop hurts in the 0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:32.400 run game. Well, what you do is for me, you 0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:36.160 don't blitz. You. You assign your three or four man 0:29:36.200 --> 0:29:39.800 front to win their their matchups as they have been 0:29:40.040 --> 0:29:42.480 and then you keep a particular spy. But I don't 0:29:42.520 --> 0:29:44.760 think to answer your question, I wouldn't use Mica as 0:29:44.760 --> 0:29:47.240 the spy coming off of a growing injury, because first 0:29:47.240 --> 0:29:48.880 of all, I wouldn't even love him practice this week. 0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:52.120 I said that in media match yesterday's DNP, DNP, DMP 0:29:52.600 --> 0:29:55.560 or limited Limited Limited rehab, Rehab rehab, and then hey 0:29:55.560 --> 0:29:58.480 see you on Sunday. But I still wouldn't use Mica there. 0:29:58.880 --> 0:30:01.400 I would use anth Ny bar because I love what 0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:04.080 I saw from Anthony Barr against the Rams. As far 0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:08.320 as his sideline to sideline, I saw two separate occurrences 0:30:08.520 --> 0:30:10.480 where he knifed in on what do we just talked 0:30:10.520 --> 0:30:14.080 about with theys do well screen passes? Okay, On two 0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:19.040 separate occasions, Anthony Barr red recognized, closed, knifed in and 0:30:19.160 --> 0:30:21.800 blew up two screen passes. One would have been a 0:30:21.960 --> 0:30:25.000 huge played by Tyler Higbee. This is what you need 0:30:25.360 --> 0:30:27.880 from bar in this particular game, and I think that's 0:30:27.880 --> 0:30:32.280 how you help contain a Jalen Hurts. If Jalen Hurts 0:30:32.480 --> 0:30:36.280 beat you in this game by throwing forty times but 0:30:36.360 --> 0:30:39.719 only rushing for twenty yards, then so be it c AT, 0:30:39.720 --> 0:30:43.120 AT and T in a few weeks. However, I don't 0:30:43.120 --> 0:30:46.400 believe Jalen Hurts can beat you by throwing forty times 0:30:46.480 --> 0:30:49.040 and only rushing for twenty yards. So it's a very 0:30:49.080 --> 0:30:52.960 one dimensional offense. It's just that that one dimension is explosive, 0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:55.880 but the Cowboys have the personnel to limit that really quickly. 0:30:55.920 --> 0:30:57.520 I wanted to add to a couple of points that 0:30:57.600 --> 0:31:01.000 you had there from your science lab. But Philadelphia fourth 0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:02.800 in the NFL and rushing yards per game for one 0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:05.400 hundred and sixty yards per pop. Then you've got their 0:31:05.480 --> 0:31:07.760 seventh in the NFL and passing yardage, so they're still 0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:09.800 pretty high up there in terms of throwing the football 0:31:09.840 --> 0:31:12.840 as well. If you wanted a comparison, Dallas is fifteenth 0:31:12.960 --> 0:31:16.240 in the NFL and rushing and their twenty seventh and passing, 0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:19.520 so they get a lot of it's it's your yardage 0:31:19.560 --> 0:31:22.080 is different. You're right, And then you said Michael Gallup 0:31:22.120 --> 0:31:24.479 and A. J. Brown. I just wanted to debunk that 0:31:24.520 --> 0:31:28.520 one me too. Michael Gallups two hundred pounds, two different 0:31:28.760 --> 0:31:31.600 room classes and A J. Brown's two twenty five on 0:31:31.640 --> 0:31:33.680 a bad game. The way they played, they played violent. 0:31:33.800 --> 0:31:35.480 I agree with that. That's what I was going to 0:31:35.560 --> 0:31:37.480 add that to it. They're both guys that go and 0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:40.080 have that contested ball downfield. They can go up and 0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:42.920 make a grab different way. Class didn't say they have 0:31:43.000 --> 0:31:46.840 the same momay the same way, and he wanted to 0:31:46.880 --> 0:31:49.440 get that out there before Twitter got out there. That's 0:31:50.600 --> 0:31:53.560 a good point about Micah because dan Quinn even told 0:31:53.640 --> 0:31:56.760 us on Monday they put him on the edge in 0:31:56.800 --> 0:31:58.760 part as a situational pass rusher in the second half 0:31:58.800 --> 0:32:01.040 because he was limited physically. So we'll see how he 0:32:01.040 --> 0:32:04.000 does this week. Hurts does average eight point five yards attempt. 0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:06.400 That helps when you've got a Davante Smith on your team, Yes, 0:32:06.440 --> 0:32:08.280 and you can you can press the ball down the field. 0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:11.440 He has six rushing touchdowns and there you go. Leads 0:32:11.440 --> 0:32:13.840 his team in it, leaves his team in it. He's 0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:15.680 right up there in terms of the NFL rankings, and 0:32:15.720 --> 0:32:17.960 he averages over thirteen yards of Carr, he's their best 0:32:18.000 --> 0:32:21.360 ball carrier effect and in a good offensive good ball carrier, 0:32:21.440 --> 0:32:24.440 he's averaging almost four and a half first downs per 0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:29.680 game on the ground hurt his Why what do you mean? Why? Because? Why? Why? 0:32:29.680 --> 0:32:32.040 Why does this happen? What's it's always it's always going 0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:34.160 to be a myriad, But go ahead. It's because of 0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:36.320 the fact that the defenders are left in no man's 0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:39.800 they are laying and it's that's what I'm talking about, 0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:43.600 Like it's no matter if you're doing your assignment. They 0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:46.200 make you wrong. They don't give a dog on how 0:32:46.240 --> 0:32:47.760 they get to the to the red zone. They don't 0:32:47.760 --> 0:32:49.160 give a dog on how they get to the end zone. 0:32:49.520 --> 0:32:52.240 They want to just they are patient, Like there's not 0:32:52.280 --> 0:32:54.360 many teams in this league that are patient. These guys 0:32:54.360 --> 0:32:59.000 will jump, They'll run five screenplays in a row, different looks, 0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:01.240 totally from the looks. They'll give it dout the Goddard, 0:33:01.240 --> 0:33:02.600 they give it out to j. Brown, to give it 0:33:02.600 --> 0:33:04.560 out the Smith, they give the mouse Sanders. They don't 0:33:04.560 --> 0:33:06.480 give a dog on long as they're beating you down, 0:33:06.880 --> 0:33:10.320 keeping your offense off the field. My fear. Okay, I 0:33:10.360 --> 0:33:13.440 think Dallas defense is the best in the league, hands down, 0:33:13.480 --> 0:33:17.720 most explosive, most best personnel, all that jazz. However, these 0:33:17.760 --> 0:33:21.960 guys will test the run defense. We keep talking about 0:33:22.040 --> 0:33:26.200 the run defense, and have we've been tested? This team 0:33:26.240 --> 0:33:30.240 not the most traditional run defenses run offenses, okay. And 0:33:30.320 --> 0:33:32.240 the reason why I say that is because they will 0:33:32.280 --> 0:33:35.160 rush the ball with Miles Sanders, they will run option 0:33:35.480 --> 0:33:39.280 with dog on Jalen Hurts, or they'll use the screens 0:33:39.560 --> 0:33:43.160 as rushes. Look at the film and how many one 0:33:43.200 --> 0:33:45.959 on one matchups these cornerbacks of the Dallas Cowboys are 0:33:45.960 --> 0:33:49.200 gonna have to come up, be physical and win. Not 0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:50.680 gonna be able to come up and hit. Look at 0:33:50.680 --> 0:33:52.840 me and break how many tackles they break out of 0:33:52.880 --> 0:33:56.120 screen place? They take hits all day long. Freaking Buddha 0:33:56.120 --> 0:33:57.920 Baker was coming up laying hat and guess what, not 0:33:58.000 --> 0:34:00.680 making a tackle? Right? Those are those well as players 0:34:00.680 --> 0:34:02.960 were there one on one A J. Brown swallow, A J. 0:34:03.120 --> 0:34:05.440 Brown is out there lined up, okay, and he's out 0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:07.600 there one on one. You got a cornerback pain seven 0:34:07.680 --> 0:34:09.799 or eight yards off and you throw it out to him. 0:34:09.920 --> 0:34:12.759 They are perfectly fine taking four yards from that and 0:34:12.960 --> 0:34:15.640 using that as a run play. They don't need Jalen 0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:17.120 Hurst thrown the ball down the field. They don't care 0:34:17.120 --> 0:34:18.719 if Jaleen Hurst throws the ball down the field. Their 0:34:18.760 --> 0:34:21.000 plan is to wear you down and have you so 0:34:21.160 --> 0:34:23.640 concerned and honed the end on your assignments in terms 0:34:23.640 --> 0:34:26.080 of run defense that all of a sudden you start 0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:28.480 creeping up and then what, oh crap, I forgot they 0:34:28.520 --> 0:34:31.440 had to MOUNTE Smith and A J. Brown. That past everybody. 0:34:31.360 --> 0:34:33.120 They're looking for that one or two plays. That's all 0:34:33.160 --> 0:34:35.799 they care about, because in reality, everybody thinks that you 0:34:35.800 --> 0:34:38.399 have to have this amazingly explosive offense, you need two 0:34:38.440 --> 0:34:41.120 plays a game. But I just don't to that point, 0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:43.360 they've addressed that point. I don't think dan Quinn is 0:34:43.440 --> 0:34:47.000 going to creep up because dan Quinn's offense is totally 0:34:47.040 --> 0:34:49.040 fine giving you the underneath, and then when you get 0:34:49.040 --> 0:34:51.839 towards the red zone, then he says, figure it out. 0:34:51.880 --> 0:34:54.080 I dare you to get into this end zone and 0:34:54.160 --> 0:34:57.120 team's time and again cannot get into the end zone. 0:34:57.120 --> 0:35:00.239 Teams that can't run the ball. That's fair. So that's 0:35:00.239 --> 0:35:01.879 what I'm saying. That's that's where's a little bit different. 0:35:01.880 --> 0:35:05.160 So trust me, I'm saying that I wholeheartedly. Some good 0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:07.960 run games that haven't been good against you. I mean 0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:11.520 Joe Mixon was tearing people up this year. Yes, he has. 0:35:11.560 --> 0:35:13.839 He's been good this year. Joe Mixon's been running the ball. 0:35:13.840 --> 0:35:16.120 He's on my fantasy team. He hasn't done crab He's 0:35:16.160 --> 0:35:21.319 still find most of the league. I hear you, But 0:35:21.400 --> 0:35:25.080 I'm saying these and again I'm gonna keep saying I'm 0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:27.200 gonna yeah, I'm sorry. There has not been a team 0:35:27.360 --> 0:35:29.759 Antonio Gibson hasn't been Gibson this year. They're running there 0:35:29.719 --> 0:35:32.720 in the Officie fifty against das So. To your point, 0:35:32.840 --> 0:35:36.400 but these these are very traditional running teams, and I 0:35:36.440 --> 0:35:39.080 need people to understand that it's different. It's not just 0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:41.480 line up, come down. Hell, I'm gonna I'm also a 0:35:41.600 --> 0:35:44.200 Digi Zula, I'm Nevil Gallimore. I'm gonna come up here 0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:45.960 and just run you off the ball. These guys will 0:35:46.080 --> 0:35:49.040 use leverage and if you choose one side, they're going 0:35:49.120 --> 0:35:51.640 the other way. Michael Parson needs to play defensive, and 0:35:51.800 --> 0:35:53.800 why because he needs to be able to take away 0:35:54.000 --> 0:35:56.239 the running game and be able to get out to 0:35:56.280 --> 0:35:58.000 the screen to stop that from you're coming from the 0:35:58.040 --> 0:36:00.239 inside out. That's where he needs to play this game. 0:36:00.280 --> 0:36:02.799 I have never said that in life, but this is 0:36:02.800 --> 0:36:04.960 the game that Micah needs to be on the edge. 0:36:05.000 --> 0:36:07.400 This is the game that Sam Williams needs to be 0:36:07.480 --> 0:36:09.520 on the opposite edge, because these guys need to be 0:36:09.560 --> 0:36:11.759 able to build up. You condense the dog one running game, 0:36:11.880 --> 0:36:14.440 running lanes, and get out to the dog on screens 0:36:14.440 --> 0:36:18.080 because this team is going to scream Dallas to death. 0:36:18.200 --> 0:36:20.160 And I hope that these guys come up and hit 0:36:20.400 --> 0:36:23.160 and tackle because that is how they're going to be tested. 0:36:23.719 --> 0:36:26.920 I'll say this and I'll accentuate your point. It's not 0:36:27.360 --> 0:36:30.160 specifically just that the Cowboys have struggle because, like like 0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:33.440 Cal said, they've going against some good run running teams. 0:36:33.600 --> 0:36:35.400 Not the Rams put some good running teams in Joe 0:36:35.440 --> 0:36:38.600 Mixon for example, in the bengalsum. But it's and I've 0:36:38.600 --> 0:36:41.319 said this two weeks or so ago going into the 0:36:41.360 --> 0:36:45.800 game at MetLife, mobile quarterbacks, more specifically than the run attack. 0:36:45.840 --> 0:36:48.359 It's mobile quarterbacks that tends to give this team hell. 0:36:48.520 --> 0:36:51.319 Daniel Jones was and he proved me right, he was 0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:54.840 giving them some hell hurts is infinitely more mobile and 0:36:56.160 --> 0:36:59.359 Danny Danny Diames heard him on Broken Place, right, these 0:36:59.360 --> 0:37:02.759 are going to be behind So to to incituate your point, yeah, 0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:06.479 it's it's not simply the run offense. It's the fact 0:37:06.520 --> 0:37:10.080 that it's an extremely mobile quarterback, and it's a quarterback 0:37:10.160 --> 0:37:14.200 that depends on his mobility to defeat you. But then 0:37:15.160 --> 0:37:18.520 the brig gets sliced both ways, right, Because while that's true, 0:37:18.560 --> 0:37:22.080 it's also true that it makes them infinitely more one dimensional. 0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:26.200 So in that one dimension, there's there's levels to this, right, 0:37:26.200 --> 0:37:28.399 So in that one dimension, are you talking about like 0:37:28.400 --> 0:37:31.279 like doctor Strange dimensions or are we talking about lights 0:37:31.480 --> 0:37:37.560 like dimension? Because my biggest people, and we'll talk about 0:37:37.560 --> 0:37:38.879 this in film, I know, we gotta go to break 0:37:39.239 --> 0:37:41.800 go back to go back on film again for Dallas 0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:44.440 and look at the cutback lanes. Oh there's a lot 0:37:44.480 --> 0:37:48.080 of it against everybody against not even just the Rams. 0:37:48.239 --> 0:37:50.520 Go back to New York. How did it break run? 0:37:50.680 --> 0:37:52.759 So there has only been one running back who's been 0:37:52.800 --> 0:37:55.600 capable of making that cut? Is that a product that 0:37:55.800 --> 0:37:57.200 should have been? That was a broken I mean that 0:37:57.239 --> 0:38:00.920 was a mistacle too. So for a reason, yeah, I 0:38:00.920 --> 0:38:03.799 mean for a reason. He markly you had hands on him. 0:38:03.960 --> 0:38:07.920 He's so now you're talking about you know how you're 0:38:07.920 --> 0:38:10.400 talking about h Jalen Hurts, who squat six hundred pounds. 0:38:10.400 --> 0:38:12.520 You know what I'm saying. So like I'm just saying, 0:38:13.080 --> 0:38:15.280 there are some things that have shown up on film 0:38:15.440 --> 0:38:17.960 that you're going to have to show up otherwise this 0:38:18.000 --> 0:38:20.040 team will make you freaking pay. Is that a product 0:38:20.080 --> 0:38:22.480 of a defensive line that is so aggressive? And that's 0:38:22.480 --> 0:38:24.640 what I want to get to that. I want to 0:38:24.640 --> 0:38:26.279 talk to that when we come back, because that's how 0:38:26.360 --> 0:38:29.000 the Giants had their highest rushing attack so far. It 0:38:29.120 --> 0:38:31.280 was the edge. It was the edge outside the tackles. 0:38:31.560 --> 0:38:34.799 That's how teams have rushed against the Cowboys. Let's talk 0:38:34.800 --> 0:38:36.320 about this. Continue this on the other side of the 0:38:36.360 --> 0:38:39.520 break you're on talking Cowboys. Todd thought it would be 0:38:39.560 --> 0:38:42.239 secure to jog and the cheatahs savants. Todd believed the 0:38:42.280 --> 0:38:45.239 big cat repellent he bought online was reliable.

Let's do 0:41:06.160 --> 0:41:13.320 it about the outside of the Cowboys defense. Outside the tackles. 0:41:13.320 --> 0:41:15.560 That's where they've been hurt. That's where New York hurt you. 0:41:15.800 --> 0:41:19.440 Whenever Washington had success, where do they hurt them on 0:41:19.480 --> 0:41:22.000 the outside? It was outside the tackles? J Or what 0:41:22.480 --> 0:41:25.680 was it JD. McKissick. And then they had Gibson who 0:41:25.760 --> 0:41:28.719 was the third running back, number forty one Robinson er 0:41:29.200 --> 0:41:33.000 I can't even remember his name is yeah, whatever it was. 0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:35.920 He had a big reception on the outside forty one Williams. 0:41:35.960 --> 0:41:41.200 So how does Dallas take that aggressiveness that this whole 0:41:41.280 --> 0:41:44.960 defense is just intertwined with and then dial it back 0:41:44.960 --> 0:41:46.880 a little bit to make sure that they have the 0:41:46.920 --> 0:41:51.320 gap assignment and they're able to read these options. Well, 0:41:51.600 --> 0:41:55.000 they have to not be what they've been to date. Unfortunately, 0:41:55.040 --> 0:41:57.680 they have to slow down. You have to slow down 0:41:58.080 --> 0:41:59.960 because if you're flying around the way that you've been 0:42:00.160 --> 0:42:04.480 flying around, you're not concerned about the what ifs. If 0:42:04.480 --> 0:42:06.520 you're not concerned about the what ifs, that's when you 0:42:06.560 --> 0:42:09.680 get bit. That's what this whole offense is structured around, 0:42:09.719 --> 0:42:12.839 slowing you down. Their offense that they have, it's been 0:42:12.880 --> 0:42:16.200 successful against some not so successful against others. But I 0:42:16.239 --> 0:42:19.200 honestly think like this offense is made for the dan 0:42:19.280 --> 0:42:21.480 Quinn type of defense, with the type of the dan 0:42:21.560 --> 0:42:23.479 Quinn personnel. Like you want to you want to play fast, 0:42:23.520 --> 0:42:25.960 you want to get up here cool? Right, come on, 0:42:26.040 --> 0:42:29.759 come on, Dan wants to get it on. Yeah, Dante Dan, 0:42:29.920 --> 0:42:32.359 Mike Tyson, this is freaking Frasier, you know what I'm saying, 0:42:32.360 --> 0:42:36.480 like patient versus not patient. Like So, I think that 0:42:36.640 --> 0:42:39.960 the defense end positions specifically or outside linebackers, however you 0:42:40.000 --> 0:42:42.160 want to look at it, these guys an have to 0:42:42.200 --> 0:42:44.799 slow their role. You're going to have to slow your role, 0:42:44.800 --> 0:42:47.040 and you're gonna have to read not saying that these 0:42:47.120 --> 0:42:51.000 guys can't be themselves, but you can't play as fast 0:42:51.120 --> 0:42:53.319 as you've been playing from that position, because you think 0:42:53.320 --> 0:42:55.240 about it, these guys either been running to the sideline 0:42:55.520 --> 0:42:57.920 or they've been running down here at the quarterbacks. Okay, 0:42:58.080 --> 0:43:00.360 they haven't had to be Oh do I do I 0:43:00.400 --> 0:43:02.400 come down here and take away the run? But if 0:43:02.640 --> 0:43:04.640 if I go down too much down the line of scrimmage, 0:43:04.640 --> 0:43:06.480 then Jalen Hurts is gonna pull it, and then I'll 0:43:06.480 --> 0:43:08.319 also have to be concerned where if he might fake it, 0:43:08.480 --> 0:43:10.080 might pull it and throw it out to the tight 0:43:10.160 --> 0:43:12.360 end or to run the receiver out on the outside. 0:43:12.440 --> 0:43:14.480 So these guys got to make not only just one decision, 0:43:14.520 --> 0:43:16.359 they gotta make it between choose between one to three 0:43:16.400 --> 0:43:18.800 decisions on what do I do? On any given play. 0:43:19.040 --> 0:43:21.279 The challenging spot for this defense is going to be 0:43:21.320 --> 0:43:25.120 the second level, the linebackers, because the guards of the 0:43:25.120 --> 0:43:27.880 offensive line for Philadelphia get up to the linebackers, and 0:43:28.040 --> 0:43:30.560 how do they do that because of the boxes that 0:43:30.600 --> 0:43:33.399 are formed right, the linements that are there, a lot 0:43:33.400 --> 0:43:35.359 of times if their guards or not, if they don't 0:43:35.360 --> 0:43:37.640 have anybody standing over them, they have an easy track 0:43:37.719 --> 0:43:40.160 straight up to the linebacker. Bar vander Ash, You're gonna 0:43:40.160 --> 0:43:41.960 have to have a game of your life because you're 0:43:41.960 --> 0:43:43.840 gonna be stuck there trying to figure out what direction 0:43:43.880 --> 0:43:46.120 do I go? And you talked about it earlier, Robbie, 0:43:46.320 --> 0:43:49.719 that one little pause, that one second pause allows these 0:43:49.800 --> 0:43:51.200 guards to get up to the next level. And if 0:43:51.200 --> 0:43:52.880 they're able to do that and get their hands on you, 0:43:53.160 --> 0:43:56.400 it's trouble. So bar vander Ash, hit go, hit your 0:43:56.400 --> 0:43:58.359 bench press, get your narrow grip on because you're gonna 0:43:58.360 --> 0:43:59.800 be punching people in the chests all day long. I 0:44:00.160 --> 0:44:02.480 loved this part of the conversation because I think all 0:44:02.480 --> 0:44:04.360 of us, in some way, shape or form, Kyl and 0:44:04.400 --> 0:44:07.080 the mail Bag yesterday and us on social media have 0:44:07.440 --> 0:44:10.600 tried to clarify this for fans. The issue with the 0:44:10.680 --> 0:44:14.359 run defense for the Cowboys, it's not the interior. It's 0:44:14.400 --> 0:44:17.359 not the interior. It's not the interior. Those that are 0:44:17.400 --> 0:44:19.879 having success against this defense on the ground, they're doing 0:44:19.920 --> 0:44:21.960 it on the edges. Be it one game, it might 0:44:22.000 --> 0:44:23.759 be the left edge, one game, it might be the 0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:26.279 right edge. An example would be what Mixon was able 0:44:26.320 --> 0:44:29.799 to do and his successful runs, the one that he 0:44:29.840 --> 0:44:32.880 got five or more yards on were towards the Cowboys 0:44:33.000 --> 0:44:35.560 right side of their defensive line. I just pulled up, 0:44:35.560 --> 0:44:39.000 say kuon Barkley. All four of his five or more 0:44:39.120 --> 0:44:42.759 yard runs were to the right side of the offensive line. 0:44:42.760 --> 0:44:45.120 He got stone wall in the middle, stone wall on 0:44:45.120 --> 0:44:47.680 the left. It seems like it's one or the other. 0:44:47.719 --> 0:44:50.480 So it's not the interior, it's the outside on any 0:44:50.560 --> 0:44:53.840 given week. But it goes to your point. Linebackers have 0:44:53.920 --> 0:44:57.360 to remain disciplined and be ready to step up and support, 0:44:57.719 --> 0:45:00.920 and we can't stress it enough. That's what's going to 0:45:00.920 --> 0:45:04.480 help contain a guy like Jalen Hurts and Miles Sanders, 0:45:04.520 --> 0:45:08.000 because you're gonna have to maintain your your mental discipline. 0:45:08.040 --> 0:45:12.400 More than anything. Their whole goal, their entire goal is 0:45:12.440 --> 0:45:15.799 to make you think. For that split second, and that 0:45:15.880 --> 0:45:18.000 split second makes you react in the wrong way or 0:45:18.080 --> 0:45:21.080 not react at all. And now you're chasing your breath 0:45:21.080 --> 0:45:23.440 as far as chasing hurts this direction or that direction. 0:45:23.719 --> 0:45:25.840 So this is going to be a big test for 0:45:25.880 --> 0:45:28.719 the linebacker coors as far as can they support the 0:45:28.760 --> 0:45:31.359 Cowboys defensive line on the edges to stop the run 0:45:31.400 --> 0:45:33.160 before you throw over the rod p one thing I 0:45:33.200 --> 0:45:36.960 know we're saying, not interior defensive linement. I'm going to disagree. 0:45:37.000 --> 0:45:39.279 In this game, the interior defensive linement got to have 0:45:39.280 --> 0:45:41.680 the game of their life because their centers do so much. 0:45:42.080 --> 0:45:46.720 Their center pulls, their center reach block by the way, understood, understood, 0:45:46.800 --> 0:45:48.759 But they're not going to change their scheme because of right. 0:45:48.880 --> 0:45:51.960 So it might be a level versus hear you personal 0:45:52.520 --> 0:45:56.359 this center, but the interior desa no Gallimore Tristan Hill. 0:45:56.360 --> 0:45:58.879 You have to get vertical because this center is either 0:45:58.920 --> 0:46:00.600 going to try to reach block you, and if he 0:46:00.640 --> 0:46:03.160 can reach block you and cut you off, it's easy 0:46:03.160 --> 0:46:05.279 to kick a defense in in out. Okay, So if 0:46:05.280 --> 0:46:08.400 the center can cut off the front side defensive tackle 0:46:08.640 --> 0:46:11.319 and their right tackle, left tackle whatever it is, can 0:46:11.400 --> 0:46:13.560 kick out the defensive end, that's usually lined up outside. 0:46:13.560 --> 0:46:15.760 That's why they're to end. Then you're have your guard 0:46:15.840 --> 0:46:18.280 working up to that linebacker and now you have holes. 0:46:18.600 --> 0:46:20.239 So that's why I'm saying, these guys are gonna have 0:46:20.239 --> 0:46:22.879 to be sure ups up front in the middle. Those 0:46:22.880 --> 0:46:25.160 guys have to dominate this game. And yeah, real quick 0:46:26.360 --> 0:46:29.320 before we live it over there, Quentin Bohanna. Keeping on 0:46:29.400 --> 0:46:31.200 on Quentin Bohanna as far as to injury report this 0:46:31.239 --> 0:46:33.120 week because if he can play, that'll be huge. Ye 0:46:33.840 --> 0:46:35.400 one thing real quick to add to no. See, in 0:46:35.640 --> 0:46:38.959 the Commanders game, they attack the edges, they burn the edges, 0:46:39.000 --> 0:46:41.040 and they went at Michael Parsons too, and that's that's 0:46:41.080 --> 0:46:42.759 that's something to watch too if he's on the edge, 0:46:42.800 --> 0:46:44.680 because they're trying to wear him down. You're trying to 0:46:44.719 --> 0:46:46.640 wear him down over the course of the game. Uh. 0:46:47.000 --> 0:46:49.800 You mentioned Quentin Bohanna on the eagle side. You mentioned Kelsey. 0:46:49.840 --> 0:46:52.200 He's playing. He started one hundred and twenty seven straight games. 0:46:52.239 --> 0:46:54.000 He's gonna play that he's gonna play. But they are 0:46:54.040 --> 0:46:56.200 banged up. I don't know if we mentioned that Malata 0:46:56.480 --> 0:47:00.600 Landon Dickerson, Kelsey, there might be an other injury on 0:47:00.600 --> 0:47:03.080 this offensive line. It seems like it's a theme against 0:47:03.080 --> 0:47:05.200 the Cowboys defense. But that's something to watch for Philly. 0:47:05.080 --> 0:47:08.080 They are not healthy upfront. Yeah, so that's one thing 0:47:08.120 --> 0:47:10.600 that may be in Achilles Hill, But even then, there's 0:47:10.600 --> 0:47:14.360 not a whole lot of it. Jaw jaw dropping stat 0:47:14.440 --> 0:47:16.960 to end us out here on talking Cowboys today. The 0:47:17.000 --> 0:47:22.080 Eagles are one of two teams since nineteen forty with 0:47:22.160 --> 0:47:26.040 twelve rushing touchdowns or more or two fewer giveaways in 0:47:26.080 --> 0:47:29.200 their first five games of the season. The only other 0:47:29.280 --> 0:47:32.920 team to ever do that was the nineteen sixty Cleveland Browns. 0:47:33.320 --> 0:47:36.120 The Browns that year were led by quarterback Milt Plum. 0:47:37.640 --> 0:47:39.960 That's not a name you're gonna remember. But then you've 0:47:39.960 --> 0:47:42.319 got two Hall of famers that ran the football that year, 0:47:42.520 --> 0:47:46.000 Jim Brown and Bobby Mitchell. That was the last team 0:47:46.000 --> 0:47:48.160 to ever do what the Eagles have done through their 0:47:48.160 --> 0:47:51.600 first five teams of the first five games of the season, 0:47:52.600 --> 0:47:55.520 one of two. He's only one of the best ever, 0:47:55.600 --> 0:47:58.480 if not the best. They're also the only team in 0:47:58.600 --> 0:48:01.440 the NFL this season with two players with over two 0:48:01.520 --> 0:48:04.960 hundred and fifty yards rushing and two rushing touchdowns this year, 0:48:05.000 --> 0:48:07.279 and that's Hurts and of course in the backfield it's 0:48:07.280 --> 0:48:12.360 Miles Sanders. So this offense is dangerous, but goodness gracious, 0:48:12.360 --> 0:48:16.520 so is this defense is also dangerous. So keep that 0:48:16.560 --> 0:48:19.120 in Mark Scott, all right, that does it for us. 0:48:19.160 --> 0:48:21.440 You're all talking to Cowboys. Tomorrow, we'll flip it to 0:48:21.520 --> 0:48:26.320 Isaiah's other favorite matchup, the Cowboys offense versus the Philly defense, 0:48:26.360 --> 0:48:29.200 and we'll see what's gonna happen this this week here 0:48:29.440 --> 0:48:33.640 for the Eagles and the Cowboys. For Chris Beam, Rob Phillips, 0:48:33.680 --> 0:48:36.719 Isaiah Stanback, Patrick nose Walker und Kyle Yelmans. We'll see 0:48:36.719 --> 0:48:39.399 you tomorrow with more Talking Cowboys.
