WEBVTT - Cowboys Break: Trap Game? 0:00:03.760 --> 0:00:06.280 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:18.439 and the Dallas Cowboys Football clubs. Are you ready for 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:22.160 a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely? 0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:26.520 Ready for a break? Yeah? And so much for that. 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:31.880 It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:38.159 with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:42.200 It is Wednesday, September eighteenth, twenty nineteen, Season fifteen, episode 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.360 number forty six. Welcome to another edition of The Break, 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.040 live from the s WBC Mortgage studios at the Star 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:50.560 and Boyd. We have a lot to talk about today. 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.040 It is Wednesday. The Cowboys are heading into their next 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.520 game against the Miami Dolphins. We're gonna talk about the 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.279 Dolphins a little bit, but I think there are things 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:01.840 we'll probably want to talk about a little bit more. 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:04.840 Dave has his scouting report on the Dolphins offense, how 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:07.800 that matches up with the Cowboys defense, and we'll talk 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:09.800 a little bit about some injuries on the defensive side 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:11.399 of the ball for the Cowboys and how much that 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.360 may affect this unit even against a team that you 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.080 would think they should be able to beat. We'll talk 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.520 about how baby those matchups work, and then if we 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.080 have some time, we'll get to some questions. I know 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:21.920 you guys have been sending me questions throughout the morning, 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:23.760 so we'll try to get some of your questions answered 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.360 here in the second and third segments of the show. 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.360 How's everybody feeling this great? Perfect? Let's jump right in. 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:36.000 Let's first talk about one tackle tackle. Charlton was not 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.320 at practice today. I think we kind of confirmed that 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.800 he was not there. What does that mean at this point? 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:43.680 Because Eric Cowboys have to make a move today by 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.640 three pm to add Robert Quinn officially to the roster. 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:48.560 What does that mean? He's not going to be on 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.760 this team anymore from what it sounds like, and they're 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.960 trying to trade him if they can. If they don't, 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:57.640 think they'll just let him go. Yeah, well said, I 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:03.120 don't know. I mean, uh, just like everything else with it, 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.240 it's just murky, I don't know, Like he's not here. 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.320 Jason Garrett didn't say anything about him not being here, 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.040 but he's They're out of practice right now and he's 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.440 not there. So it's pretty easy to connect those dots, 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.799 even if we don't have any word from the team officially. 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.440 It's frustrating. I get you know, we kind of heard 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.400 that and frustrating hoping that maybe Jason would just say 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.399 it then and he didn't. But I mean, if they're 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.359 trying to trade him and rights, that makes sense. That's 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.440 that would be the main reason why they wouldn't be 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:32.840 saying anything is if they can get something for him, 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:34.640 which if they could, I feel like they would have 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.200 done it by now. So I don't know where this 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.200 is going, but it certainly doesn't look like he's going 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:41.200 to be on the team after today. I would think 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.120 that there are teams out there that maybe starved for 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.640 a defensive end, that don't necessarily think they want to 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.400 risk the possibility of having to go him get through waivers. 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.480 I mean, he is a former first round pick. If 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.200 there were play, if there were teams that that liked 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:56.960 him going into the draft. Maybe they didn't like him 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.320 as high as the Cowboys did, but maybe they liked 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.800 him going into the draft. You know, Cowboys do it 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.240 all the time. They take these guys that other teams 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.000 kind of cast off, and they say, you know, I 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.600 think with our coaches, with our system, we saw something 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.680 that we're like, you know, the team that first came 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:13.800 to mind for me was a team like the Giants. 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.760 It's a totally young team. They don't really have a 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:18.880 dominant pass rush or not that he's necessarily going to 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:20.880 step in and be that, But that's the kind of 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:22.919 team to me that might take a chance and say, hey, 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:24.960 let's bring this guy in. Let's see if we put 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.679 him in our environment, put him in our program, if 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:29.520 we can get the potential out of him that at 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:31.840 least somebody thought he could play, Bill Parcels, You should 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.160 always talk about that, like, if a guy gets drafted high, 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.760 somebody thought he could play at some point. So is 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.120 there a chance that you can maybe get something for him, 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.240 And would one of those teams maybe be willing to 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.320 step up and say, okay, here, take a seventh round 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.080 pick we're gonna take, bring him in and just see 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.680 what we can do with him. Yeah, it's totally possible. 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.200 And that's probably what's happening right now is the Cowboys 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.720 are trying to find a somebody who's willing to do that. 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.920 You know, the interesting part too, is that I don't 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.760 know what the agent's rolled is on this, because the 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:04.000 agent probably doesn't really want to shop him around to 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.800 try to get a trade because they'd rather just pick 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:10.320 where they want to go, you know, as opposed to 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.560 you know, somebody's saying we will trade for him, is like, well, 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:13.920 he doesn't really want to go there, you know what 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.320 I mean? Other than if someone picks him up off waivers, 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.760 but through a trade or through waivers or trade, then 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:22.920 they take the contract, he still gets the money that's 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.080 on that contract. If he doesn't he's a free agent, 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.560 does he get met less, does a team offer him less? 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.320 It's a team willing to give him what he already 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.440 has been given from that contract. So that would be 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.040 a reason why maybe the agent is pushing to maybe 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.200 get a trade to keep that money. Right. But if 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.560 you get claimed, you get claimed, your contract gets claimed, 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.960 so that's your clear waivers. And then my point is 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.600 either way, the agent probably wants either him to be 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.280 claimed or him to be traded, right, rather than him 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.640 being just outright released because you might not get that money. 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.239 Noah Spence, wasn't he like a high second round pick? Yeah, 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.480 from a few years ago, and he was just signed 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.960 by the Redskins. So yeah, I think I think you're right. 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.200 I think teams will look at it and go, you know, 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.600 let's stay good chance on him. You know, but like 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:05.040 you said, if someone was starving for defensive end, I mean, 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:08.880 just like in anything, if you were starving, one taco 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:10.440 is not going to get it done. I mean, that's 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.640 that's just the fact I was wondering how that was 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:17.280 really good. If you're starving, you'll take it because you're starving. 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:21.160 But you really hope there's like a you know, combo player. 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.279 You don't want it taketo, right, you need a need 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:27.559 a full burrito, like full burrito everything. Yeah, it's it's 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.080 jokes are endless here. Well they're about to come to 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.160 an end, I think, but go ahead. It's just it's 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.039 a frustrating thing to have to cover. I'm sure fans 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.120 are tired of hearing about it. I'm tired of a 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.760 good team and this like we're talking about number fifty 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.840 four on the russ right, and and you know they're like, 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.280 it's been going on for two weeks without a whole 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.440 lot in the way of clarity on either side, and 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.280 I'm just ready for it to not be a story anymore. Yeah, 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.280 I hope. I wish the best for him. If he's 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:54.839 not going to be on this team. I mean, no 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.279 ill will toward him as a person whatsoever. I don't 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.560 think he's a bad person. I think this just wasn't 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.360 a good thing for him or for the team personally. Well, 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.120 he's not saying he's a bad person at all, but 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.200 I think he's I think his uh, I think maturity 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.160 was was an issue here a little bit, especially when 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.080 it comes to you know, just like what does it 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.120 mean to be part of the team. And you know, 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.760 I know he was frustrated obviously, you know, and he 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:22.080 but he never really when you don't live up to 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.880 the first round expectations, I mean, it's tough, and he there, 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.960 and he showed that in one of those games. Uh, 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.360 one of the preseason games, I guess it was San Francisco, 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.599 and I think we were all standing there and listening. 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.640 We took had different takes on it, but I just 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.160 thought right there by listening to it that it was 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.160 gonna be hard, it's gonna be in this's not gonna 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.080 end well because it just just his mindset right there, 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.839 didn't seem like a guy that was hungry. To me, 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:47.640 it was kind of like, it is what it is, 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.200 and I'm okay with it. You guys kind of took 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:55.040 it differently, But that's okay, sad. I mean, yeah, you had. Well, 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.599 you know, I've since training camp, I've been the one saying, okay, 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:03.960 he was playing I was a dissip or embarrassment or whatever. Okay, 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.520 yeah I did say something similar to that, But again 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.200 it's at the time. Now, I just feel bad now 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.280 that I kind of understand the situation, You're a little better. 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.840 He's a really cool dude, he's a nice guy, but 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.600 it all comes down to his personality. It just doesn't 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:25.080 fit what Rotten Mary Nelly is about. It doesn't fit 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.440 the guys around him, and when you have that, it 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.440 creates problems and then you're not gonna be happy and 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:35.480 just being walking around unhappy, it's just gonna be bringing 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:39.120 more negativity around you. And I was asking around and 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.520 trying to figure out, Okay, do you guys regret this 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:45.440 decision of picking him in the first round, And it 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.760 came down to, like, no, we would if we went back, 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.080 we would have done exactly the same thing, because everybody 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.920 in the room agreed at the time, this is what 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.720 we're this is the highest guy that we have on here, 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.600 and who is available at this point, and he fits 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.840 what we're trying to get and what we need at 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:08.440 the time. So sometimes it just works out. Sometimes it doesn't. 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.240 They've gone really really lucky with like second round picks, 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:15.040 third round pick, even fourth round picks. So for those 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.160 people that get on Twitter and start saying, oh, what 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:20.880 a waste to a first round pick, you know, some 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.680 work some done. So it is what it is, which 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.040 you're not going to be one hundred percent in the draft. 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.720 And this team has been so so good through the 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.040 draft over the last five years that it would be 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:37.160 silly to try to harp on this. But assuming Taco's 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:39.960 time with this team is done, it's gonna look mystifying 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.160 like Jet because it's it's such a it's such an 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.760 outlier like not only you know, he never tapped into 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.640 the talent to justify being the twenty eighth overall pick 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.520 and everything we're you know, he's in the doghouse. His 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:57.800 personality kind of clashes with the coaching staff and his teammates. Well, 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.640 that doesn't sound like the minds that of the guys 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.079 that they have spent high picks on in the past, right, 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.520 like you know, the whole right kind of guy thing. 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.640 You know. Line one is like, and I don't want 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:12.320 to accuse Taco of not loving football, but like that's 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.959 the way these lofty picks have been wired to where 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.400 there's like no question about what they're about. Like you've 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:22.120 never even Zeke, who's had his share of problems. Anybody 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:23.920 you talk to in the organization will be like that 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.880 dude is like he's all business when he's inside those 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.840 four walls, Like you never question his commitment. You've never 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.199 heard anything about him being a bad teammate or a 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:36.760 bad football guy. And you have heard whispers and talk 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.360 about that when it comes to Taco, which so not 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.280 only the on field aspect of it, but the personality 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.040 aspect of it. Like none of it sounds like it 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.240 meshes with what they've done, right. But the problem with 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:48.080 that is you never know what you're going to get 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.040 until you get the guy in the building and the 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.640 people that they were talking to, and again the stuff 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.680 that's on the street, that's one thing. The stuff that 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.480 they get when they talk directly to people who are 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:00.880 connected to him, who've been around on him for years, 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.840 all of that information is I'm sure what they factor 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.679 in to decide what they think of persons. Of players 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.839 makeup is their mental makeup, how they view football, what 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:13.280 they what they value, right, And so all you can 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.719 do really is go by those things and make your 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.360 best determination and best prediction of what you think that 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:19.960 player will be. And then you get him in the 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.160 building and you may find out the sunction different again 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.840 and you're absolutely right. But they haven't been wrong very often, right, 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:27.800 And that's why I wouldn't change. And that's why I 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.440 go back to what Amber said, and I kind of think, like, 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.079 don't I saw it this morning. Dane Brugler, a guy 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.280 who's worked with us, he was talking about this and 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:36.800 he was like, you know, I think after this, maybe 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:40.839 the Cowboys reevaluate how they look at this, because they 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.080 they actually passed up on t J. Watt because it 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:45.960 wasn't as much of a a as good a fit 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.400 for what they were trying to do. And my thought was, 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.880 I don't know that. You you've been so successful, you 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.320 don't let one situation that didn't work out for you 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.360 necessarily make you change your process. If you if you 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:00.559 have a good process and you're doing well, and they 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:02.760 have done really well in the draft, I think you 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.520 stick with your process. Maybe you give it a second thought, like, hey, 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.280 what did we get wrong on this one, and you 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.040 rethink how that worked. But for the most part, I 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:11.839 think they still kind of go the same way that 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.160 they've been going and just say that, hey, there are 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.160 gonna be sometimes you just don't win in the draft. 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.560 There's there's absolutely no reason to call the way they 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:22.000 do the draft into question over this when you look 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:25.800 at the wild success they've had everywhere else, but it 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:29.880 just looks mystifying compared to how good they've been everywhere else. 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.000 Like it's you know, the sore thumb. I mean, it's 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.640 circle it and bright red, like whoa, Yeah, that is 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.760 way below the standard that they've said everywhere else. And 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.080 this really isn't the first time that a first round 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:44.040 picks has played like this and for three years, it's 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.720 just one of the first times that they they've said, 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.079 you know what, like Jason Garrett doesn't have a contract 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.120 for next year, so why what do I care about 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.920 the future and how these drafts look. I mean, let's 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:55.880 get the best fifty three guys out there and the 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.080 best forty six guys, and you know, if he's a 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:03.080 first round pick, call though, I mean both of them probably, 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.600 I mean, but Jason's making the call for who's playing right, 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.160 so and then and then they're making the call for 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.360 you know. I just think that the philosophy change is like, 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.880 we don't really care where you were drafted, and we 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.400 saw that was some of the drafts this year, you know. 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.280 And then they cut the fifth round pick Mike Jackson 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.520 because he didn't do anything, and they cut Taco that 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.400 they gave him a few years, but he hasn't done anything. 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.600 So Georg's Armstrong is better, Kerry Hyder is better, and 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.400 Joe Jackson was better. So I mean, I just think 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:32.840 that before though they used to not do that, more 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.640 politics got involved. Now it's not as much, which is 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.040 that's refreshing. It's also a sign of a lot more 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:39.880 talent on the team right now. You don't have to 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.160 do that as much. You it's harder to make this team, 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:43.840 is harder to make the forty six. It's harder to 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:45.640 be a starter because you got a lot of talent 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.120 a lot of places. All right, let's take our first 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:49.559 break and we come back. We're gonna get into the 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.280 Miami offense. Dave's gonna give us a scouting report.

While a player 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.640 can look good on paper, it's when he's out on 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.040 the field that you really find out what he's made of. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.480 That's why the Cowboys rely on more than just stats 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:14.439 and scouting reports when building their team.

You've got to take it out and put 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.319 it to the test. The Cowboys did when they named 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:27.120 John Dear their official tractor experience one for yourself.

It is 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:04.760 the second second of the Break Life from the s 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.800 WBC Morti Studios at the Star. We're talking a little 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.400 bit about the taco but we're gonna get into the 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.920 Miami Dolphins offense. Uh, Dave, you get a scoutter report 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.360 on them? Yeah, tell me what you found. You know, 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.840 it would be easy to make jokes, and you know 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.840 we can. You're a jokes I am good at people 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.920 make jokes of all the Cowboys all the time. I'm 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:30.080 going I'm gonna tell you what. I watched both of 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.080 their games, the offense. I'll watch the defense tonight. I'll 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.320 watch both of their games and yeah, it looks really bad, 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:38.680 like there's no way around it. But you know they 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.960 pay these guys too, so you never know. Um, they're 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.280 thirty second in the league in total offense with one 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.240 hundred and ninety two yards per game. They're not even 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.400 cracking two hundred yards that last week they didn't get 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.240 they were at thirty eight yards total yards in the 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.920 fourth quarter of the game. Oh my god, one hundred 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:59.080 and sixty pass yards per game. That's thirty thirty thirty, 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.720 give or take Russia it's per game they've they're scoring 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:04.280 five points per game because they scored ten against Baltimore 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:09.160 none against New England. Um, it's it's it's not good. Um. 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.880 Their offensive line is a who's who of guys I've 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:15.080 never heard of before. Laramy Tunsel no longer plays there, 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:19.360 Ryan Fitzpatrick you all know who he is, which as 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.560 of right now, we're not one hundred percent sure. If 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:24.160 it'll Eve nim be fits Magic. It might be Josh Rosen, 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.080 who they traded for in the off season. I actually 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:30.880 I like their running backs, like not like, yeah, they're 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:34.160 not insanely like you know, you probably don't want either 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.320 one of them like starting for you maybe. But Kenyan 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.440 Drake is a fun, kind of do everything guy. I 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.240 remember really liking Calen Bailidge coming out of Arizona State. 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:46.800 He's six two, two thirty, kind of a bulldozer guy. Um, well, 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.560 I better stats though, Oh I mean, well no, no, 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:53.360 none of them, none of nobody's stats on Steam. But 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:56.160 his stats. I think I think he's had five carries 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.680 this year for nine yards. Yeah, well, and I'm not 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.760 at ninety nine for five. I'm not trying to paint 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:06.200 this guy like I'm not trying to paint either player 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.400 as a great player, but like, this offensive line is trash. 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:11.840 We're gonna get into it. You know, it's it's awful, 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.959 It's really bad. Uh. DeVante Parker who you would call 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:20.080 a disappointing first round pick, Albert Wilson, who I believe 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.400 spent time with washing him a disappointe because he eat. 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:24.160 But the reason why I say that, the reason why 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:26.560 I say that is because I think he's had some 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.719 some seasons where he was obviously much better than he 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:32.240 is right now. But can you also, I mean he 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.199 hasn't had a good quarterback When when is he had 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:36.600 a quarterback that was worth anything? I mean, they bought 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.680 enough of Tannehill to pay him, so that's an all 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.640 good quarterback. We all know where's Tannahill now? I mean 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:46.000 who's who's thrown all those who's thrown all those amazing 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:49.040 passes to DeAndre Hopkins? Please do tell that would be 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:54.159 one Deshahn Watson who hasn't like played a full season yet, Like, 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:56.960 but he's DeAndre Hopkins has bawled with a lot of 0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.280 career quarterback. But you're talking about one of the best 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:02.560 in the league. I'm not I can't let you do this. 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.959 Derek DeVante Parker's best season of his career is fifty 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:09.119 six catches for seven hundred and forty four yards. Its disappointing. 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.679 It's disappointing. Okay, I'm saying, but how much do you 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.080 have that? Do you put on the quarterback? If you're 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:16.119 that's all I'm saying, you have to put some of 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:18.240 that on the I'd like to see last week's game, 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:22.600 but he was targeted seven times. How many catches? How 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:24.560 many end up in the dirt? Don't know, but I'm 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.480 just saying I don't know. All Right, we'll get we'll 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.280 get there. Um, I should take a whole segment though. 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:34.560 Right we're going all in on the Dolphins. I really 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.200 like Jachim Grant out of Texas Tech. He's a kick 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:40.960 return speeds through specialist. If he was he's Tavon, if 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:43.400 he was your fifth or sixth receiver, you'd feel really 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:46.119 good about it. But he's like their second or third receiver. 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:49.520 It's not great. Um, you keep saying it's not good. 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.800 It's not like I'm trying to be nice. Here's the one, 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:55.879 the one nice thing I'll say for the Dolphins. Is 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:59.080 I wonder how much this is skewed, but by what 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.960 I assume an absolutely atrocious defense. I haven't watched him yet, 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:06.800 but I wrote this down. The Ravens scored touchdowns on 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.199 their first three possessions of the game, so you're in 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.000 a twenty one zero hole at the start of the 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:14.639 second quarter. Patriots were only up thirteen nothing at half, 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:16.840 but then they scored like three of their first four 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:19.879 drives of the second So again not saying they're good, 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.480 but you're one dimensional out of the gate, like they're 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:24.960 averaging thirty rushing yards per game because they can't. Can't. 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:26.880 You can't run the ball when you're losing. The tween 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:30.080
