This He's Talking Cowboys, 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:22.079 screening live from the Dallas Cowboys World hewnours at the 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:33.200 Star in Frisco. Say, and now your hosts Isaiah Stanback, 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:39.800 heck My Harrison, Rob Phillips, and Kyle Yeoman's It's a 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:45.320 Wednesday edition of Talking Cowboys Week five, Episode three as 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.240 Giants week as now upon us here from the Star 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:51.600 in Frisco. The team back out on the practice field 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:55.160 this week as a whopping leader of the NFC East 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:57.520 in a four and oh perfect start to the season 0:00:57.600 --> 0:00:59.840 for your Dallas Cowboys. Oh wait, that's not what happened. 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.360 They're going on the practice field one in three, right, 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:07.080 I messed that up? Oh man, Yeah, so just to 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.560 keep it on. Still a little disappointed, it's still a 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:11.880 little butt hurt from the first couple weeks of the season. 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:15.680 On my end, however, I am encouraged because we're getting 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.959 some reinforcements back this week and of course a team 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.160 on the other side that is oh and four and 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.040 doesn't have a win so far in the division, and 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.480 we're going to break it down for you Cowboys defense. 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.520 How are they going to stop this Giant's offense that 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.880 has been pretty easy to stop, to say the least 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.400 in terms of the first four weeks of the season. 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.880 Kyle Yeoman's Isaiah stand back, Rob Phillips, Heck Harrison with 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.160 you here on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Glad you with 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:44.440 us and Rob. We saw some roster moves yesterday. Brandon 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:48.960 Car the veteran corners last safety out in Dallas, and 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:53.279 big reason for that is the potential return from Anthony Brown. 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:55.600 Is that the case going forward and one of the 0:01:55.600 --> 0:02:00.800 big reasons White Car was released. Well, I think you 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.320 can kind of connect the dots there potentially. I think, 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.160 you know, Mike McCarthy will talk to us after the 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.400 show and they get back to practice today. He is 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.959 eligible to come off of IR this week. They put 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.760 him on IR, I think the Saturday before the Week 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.680 two game against Atlanta. So they've got fifty one guys 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.080 on the fifty three man roster now, so there's there's 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.440 room to bring guys on from IR. There's there's other 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:28.079 guys eligible. I think Layton's eligible, Sean Lee cam Fleming, 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.320 I think Cheeto's got another week before he's eligible, and 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.040 I don't. I don't think he's quite ready anyway. But 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.680 if they get Brown back, man, that's that is big. 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.320 And you know, the Brandon Carr think surprises me, guys 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:42.640 a little bit. I just I expected him to step 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.639 in and if not, start be more part of a rotation, 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.480 and he wasn't. He played. I think he was active 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.320 for all four games and played twenty one snaps. So 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:56.320 a little surprising there. Yeah, yesterday, yesterday, Rob, you were 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.359 talking about seeing him a little bit more than the 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.280 announcement came that he was released from the team. I said, well, 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.120 there goes that. Rob. We won't won't be seeing that, 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.600 but you guys are Rob, You're right. Getting Brown back 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.960 is going to be used for us. His experience on 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.400 the outside. I think we've been missing that. We saw 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.640 obviously last week that Worldly Uh didn't have his best 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:24.280 ally as the keeping it nice, but brown, brown Brown 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.840 would be Uh and Uh an addition to our defense 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:32.200 that I think anyone would welcome. Yeah, I mean, yeah, 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.760 Brown's coming back. Um, I don't believe that's the reason 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:36.880 why b Car was cut, but we're gonna leave it 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:38.880 at that. You know, b Car got cut because Brown's 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.119 coming back. Um, there's other rumors that are out there, 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:43.480 but you know, at the end of the day, his 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:45.760 ten is over here. Um, good luck to him in 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.360 the future and hopefully Brown brings something that he was 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.080 that a car wasn't. Okay, So is this a is 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.600 this a rumor that we can't necessarily talk about on air, 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.880 or is this just you making a joke? Well, what 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.960 is the reason you think? I I feel that I 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.520 feel as if the rumor that's going around, and I 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.160 don't have any merit to the rumor. I don't have 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:07.840 even a real source. I don't know if it's really 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:09.640 good to talk about it here. But the rumor is 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:14.360 that he spoke up about their defense and a defensive 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.880 coordinator and their their level of play and their level 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.760 of play calling to date, and that kind of that 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.719 kind of saw his exit about it there. So I 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.040 have seen that happen in the NFL before US, not 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:28.800 a league that really likes people to step up and 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.280 speak against the regime and they kind of get you 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.320 up out of there when you do. So, Um, that's 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.440 what I've heard. If that is the truth, and it 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.159 makes sense because I've seen it happen in the past. 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.160 But again, I don't. I don't have a valid source 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.039 on that, So it's just rumors, gotcha, and rumors do 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.200 fly whenever moves are made like that. But also the 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:49.600 Cowboys adding a couple of tackles, one to the active 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:53.960 roster and Greg Snat who spent last year with Kansas City, 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.520 who was uninjured reserve for a good amount of time 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.520 and then started the year on the Browns practice squad 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.280 and the cow was went and plucked him. So he's 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.000 currently on the fifty three man roster that sits at 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.000 fifty one at the moment. But whenever it comes to 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:10.200 these editions and you talk about secondary and the fact 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:15.040 that you cut a secondary player hopefully to get Anthony brownback, 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.479 but you had two more tackles, Rob, what is the 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.960 thought process behind this? You've got Terrence Steal, Brandon Knight 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.760 already there. I know that we have Cam Irving that's 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.560 available to return this week. But as this just maybe 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:30.480 another depth move from a Cowboys perspective of adding a 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:35.799 pair of tackles here, Yeah, I think so. I think 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.679 I would put offensive tackle as one of the hardest 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:43.279 positions to find depth. It's really hard. Usually if teams 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.480 have them, they hang on to him in training camp, 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.760 and so you don't see a lot of movement with 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:51.000 tackles after final cuts. And yeah, I mean, as many 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.720 issues that they had on the offensive line, I think 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.800 if they can find somebody they you know, and maybe 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:57.640 shuffle in and out, you know, Alex lights out of 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.960 here and you know, try to add some potential depth 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.440 in case they have more problems up there than they 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.480 got to do that. And you know, cam Irving, I'm 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.240 not sure exactly where he is in his rehab, but 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.240 they said it could be a four to six week deal. 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.240 So if that's the case, then he's not quite ready anyway. 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:17.599 So that's probably the thought process there. Yeah, it's kind 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.160 of I think it's red flags, man. I think it's 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.520 red flags. Guy here. I just I don't like it. 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.480 I don't like it you keep bringing in tackles. To me, 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.640 it's it's just being that you have Tyron Smith back, right, 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.440 he's back, he played, he played a good game, and 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.240 you bring in more tackles, right all that sile This 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.520 is a red flag to me that Lall Collins is 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.440 probably not looking like he's gonna come back anytime soon, 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.679 if come back at all, Because why would you continue 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.120 to add depth at his position if you intend if 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.640 you expect him to come back. So to me, that's 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.599 a red flag. It's not good on that right side. 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.960 Hopefully they can find somebody that's permanent. Yeah, no doubt. 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:56.960 I mean, I think the reports were over the weekend 0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:00.320 he was gonna have surgery today and that has had 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.400 been confirmed by by the team officials. Uh. You know, 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.039 they've been kind of vague about it, as they have 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.200 with a lot of injuries. But it doesn't sound like 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.760 he's gonna play this season. So yeah, they're they're looking 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.480 for contingency plans and obviously they've shuffled that position during 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:17.040 the game and um, and we'll see what happens there. 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.320 But you know, Cam Fleming when he comes back, he's 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.480 a veteran piece. But he didn't win the job in 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:23.480 training camp. He didn't play a lot in training camp, 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.640 but he didn't win it. Why do I always do that? Man? 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:33.000 Maybe good this weekend he's on the other side, we're 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:34.920 gonna talk to make sure. We're gonna talk about that 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:38.120 Giants offense. Yeah, no, thank you, thank you. I've written 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.120 I've been called out about that. Um. Yeah, they just 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.720 they need options. They need options on that side, and 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.680 I think Brandon Knight's probably their best option, and maybe 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:50.520 he's gonna get to start again on Sunday. We'll see. Yeah, 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.280 it's it's understating that the death problem that we have 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.760 at the offensive line, and again, it's just been a 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.240 game of musical chairs, especially when you go back to 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.880 the Seattle game with Martin finishing that right tackle. We 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:03.800 have to find the balance that we're looking for in 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.760 the offensive line, and we just hadn't got there yet. Obviously, 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.400 you guys have been able to isolate situations with steal 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.480 against other you know, defensive ends in the league that 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.680 they've gotten the best of them. I think with the 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.560 yardage and everything, the coaches are just not fooling themselves 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.160 to think that they're in a good place offensive line wise. 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.320 They see these guys every day and they know that 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.559 they need to get more depth. Then they currently have 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:30.960 four offensive tackles on the practice squad, they have four 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.840 offensive tackles on the active roster, and then they have 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:39.200 two on irm Lyle Collins and uh with at least 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.800 at the moment, Cam irving this week. So they've got 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:46.200 ten signs they must become get ready to come out 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.839 with what they must be get ready to come out 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:52.680 with a nine nine old lines or setting or someone 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.640 offensive formation. I don't know what the thing they're doing. 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.640 A bunch of offensive tackles and then zeke and tack 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:00.839 in the backfield and that's it. That's that's what you're 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:05.800 running with moving forward. Okay, So we also got the 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.880 We also got the news this morning that Snax Harrison, 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:14.640 one of our targets in yesterday's GM session, has reportedly 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:19.240 agreed to sign to the Seattle Seahawks dot dot dot 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.960 practice squad. As now, he is off the market at 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.440 the moment. Now we'll see if that stays. If he 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.559 stays on the practice squad for very long, he may 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.320 not be able to because they'll probably pull him up 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.200 or somebody will pluck him pretty quickly. But Snax Harrison, 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.640 at least for the moment, off the roster. But I 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:39.839 mentioned Anthony Brown earlier in that secondary and what he 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.439 brings to the table coming back, and we've seen the 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.440 struggles from the secondary. Treyvon Diggs has had a rough 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.200 go of it as a rookie in his first four 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:51.280 games of his professional career. Seemingly you have an easier 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.480 matchup this week, but then you've got DeAndre Hopkins and 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.480 Larry Fitzgerald on the other side of things. Also Christian Kirk, 0:09:57.760 --> 0:09:59.840 who's had a pretty good season for Atlanta coming up 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.800 or excuse me, Arizona coming up in week six. But heck, 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.160 whenever you look at Anthony Brown and what he brings 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.480 to the table from a cornerback position, the depth of 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.640 having him back already improves. But what does he specifically 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.480 bring back that you have been missing desperately over the 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:20.559 last four weeks. He's a He's a good tackler. I 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.800 would say that we've had so many busted plays and 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:27.520 miscommunications and coverages, but a lot of it is attributed 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.679 to mistackles, and our secondary has been doing a very 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.320 poor job of that. I'm hoping that Anthony Brown is 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.480 the piece that we can put into at least stop 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:39.280 these big plays. We've had guys just running free, not 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.240 being able to get guys on the ground. And if 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.560 from that perspective, I think tackling is one or being 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:50.160 physical is one of Anthony brown strong suits. Yeah, that's 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:51.680 the that's the point I was gonna I was gonna 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:54.160 hit on heck is a physical aspect, right it's the 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:58.680 physicality of the grit, the tenacity that he has. I 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.679 think that this this secondary is missing right now. Um. 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:03.480 It's another reason why I think we've been talking about 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.480 other individuals on that are out there in free agents. UM, 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.839 hope he could bring in for those for those same characteristics. 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.319 So hopefully he brings that. Hopefully he is that same player, 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:15.920 he brings that to the squad, and hopefully you know, um, 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:19.600 he brings a level of competitiveness to this group that 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:23.840 hasn't obviously hasn't been present. And you know what, it 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.360 does get easier this week. I know you mentioned Hopkins 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:28.720 in a week from now, and I know the Giants 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.240 will We'll get into their offense. It hasn't been good, 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.719 but they have guys back there, uh that that can 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.560 that can run routes and get separation and make plays. 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:41.359 I mean three four different receivers including Evan ingram Um 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.400 and and you know some of their problems has been 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:47.400 pass protection upfront. But if they get that, then they've 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.520 got receivers who can win routes that it's not going 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:53.720 to be easy against against this Cowboys secondary. Again, it's 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.960 gonna be something that I think we'll see this week specifically, 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.600 I mean Golden Tate, who seemingly is not going to 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:04.720 be suspended for his altercation with Jalen Ramsey following last 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:07.760 week's matchup. He will be available, and even if the 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.520 league decided to throw a suspension on there is probably 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.440 going to be an appeal and so he would probably 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:16.640 play this week anyways. However, you're exactly right. I think 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:18.480 this is going to be a week where you need 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.200 to get healthy from a secondary perspective, and Anthony Brown 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.600 coming in certainly helps you out in that regard. But 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.319 I think it just takes pressure off of Trayvon Diggs 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.079 a little bit, Isaiah, because Diggs has been really the 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.600 one having to carry the load of facing a top 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:34.200 wide receiver. You may not have to throw him on 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:37.720 a golden tape. Sterling Shepherd's on ir so that's probably 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.280 their top receiver at the moment as well. But you 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.640 look at those guys in the secondary, just having Anthony 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.880 Brown back just adds that much more confidence in that 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:53.240 secondary that absolutely needs it. Yeah, it's gonna ask some confidence, man, 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.480 Like I said, I just more than anything, Like I said, 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.200 that's just the competitive side, man. You need competition at 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.200 every position, and I don't feel like this position has 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.439 as much as we talked about it going into the season. 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.440 With all the depth that they have, right, we didn't 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.000 say all the talent that they had, but we said 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.720 all the depth that they had, we would you would 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.440 assume that it would have been a highly competitive group 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.400 because everybody's vying for time. Everybody's vying for you know, 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.400 for for those snaps. You know, you don't get that 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.720 many snaps. So um, I think Brown brings that and 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.679 and and this week you already mentioned it. You know Golden, 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:25.760 I know Golden. Golden's my dog. We used to we 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:27.560 used to stay up and go to game stops and 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.000 try to get Call of Duty games at midnight, you know, 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.840 at the unreleased dates. So I know him. He's competitive. 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:34.720 But Golden's not going to run by you, you know. 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.800 So that's that's not a challenge. And that's where we've 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.040 had issues at this year as people running by us. 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:42.200 Not necessarily stuff underneath, but the guy's getting over the top. 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.720 So this is a great week to bounce back, build 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:49.199 some confidence because next week, U, yeah, be back at it. 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.280 And you know what, I feel the same way. But 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:54.040 I gotta say this, Kyle, when it comes down to 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.959 Anthony Brown, he's not going to improve your pass for us. 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:00.000 And if he's not going to improve that pass for us, 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.280 he's gonna be sitting on an island for four or 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:06.360 five seconds. And look, Daniel Jones as bad a years 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.280 he's having right now. If you give the guy enough 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.920 time to see the field, he can find an open receiver. 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.760 And so that's some of the problems that the back 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.880 end of our defense is having. It's just the lack 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.480 of a pass rush and getting quarterbacks on the ground. 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.840 So love to see Anthony Brown back. We just you know, 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.360 outlined his physicality and what he's gonna be able to 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:28.000 do from that standpoint, but this defense is historically bad 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.240 and they have problems up front that Isaiah in your 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:33.840 film study you pointed out. I mean, we're just losing 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:35.960 the line of scrimmage. And I know we're gonna talk 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.800 about the Giants offense. It it it doesn't matter who you play, 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:40.960 it doesn't matter who you go up against. If you're 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.840 giving up three hundred and seven yards rushing, you're gonna 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:48.640 get beat by the bad News Bears. That's a great 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:53.000 point because this past week against Cleveland, your thought process was, Oh, 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.680 we're gonna We're gonna get run all over by Kareem 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:59.000 Hunt and Nick Chubb and Steadin ended up being de 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.360 Earnest Johns In that ran for the team high total 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:07.360 exactly the team high total from Cleveland with ninety plus yards. 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:10.680 And I guess originally you go into this matchup in 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.160 week five and you say, oh, my gosh, here comes 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.440 Sequon Barkley. We can't stop the run. Now. Barkley, of 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:19.720 course sideline with his ACL injury that he's sustained in 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:23.680 week two, but it's Dion Lewis, Wayne Gallman, Devanta three minutes, 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.400 a three headed attack again from the New York side 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.920 of things, which is what we saw from Los Angeles 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:30.680 in week one. So it'll be tough to stop when 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.440 we come back though. Here on Talking Cowboys, we're gonna 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:36.280 talk about that. That Giant's offense, just how poor has 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:39.080 it been. The return of Jason Garrett on the other 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:43.080 side of his turnover as the offensive coordinator now in 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:45.400 New York.

I feel like Heckma could have a solid 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:26.720 read every now and again. The sultry, the sultry voice 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:38.080 of Smooth Jay. I had the sultry voice of Harrison. 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.439 We had the trust tree, and we were in the 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:44.199 next yesterday whenever we were breaking down this team and 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:48.120 the performance that we saw last week. Yeah, we've got 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:52.720 plenty of treaties, one tree, other, one try, but let's 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:57.400 break down this, uh, this burning tree of the Giants 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:01.520 offense because it has been rough so far for old 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:05.200 pal Jason Garrett who makes his return to AT and 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:07.000 T State, And we all knew this day was coming. 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.399 It was circled on the schedule that Jason Garrett was 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:11.680 going to make his return as of course the offensive 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:15.360 coordinator now for the New York Giants, and he returns 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:18.520 with headlines surrounding him in New York, but not for 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:21.399 the right reasons. Rob It has been a dismal start 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:25.800 for Jason in New York, but really he doesn't have 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:28.000 a whole lot to work with with no sequon Barkley 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:31.560 and now Sterling Shepard quite possibly his top target out 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:33.960 due to injury at the moment. But what have you 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:37.280 seen so far from this Giants offense that the Cowboys 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:42.199 defense can absolutely take advantage of. I've seen not a 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:44.719 lot of points scored by the Giants offense. I think 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:47.360 they're averaging like eleven and a half points so far 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:52.919 through four games. And Daniel Jones just continues to have 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:55.399 problems back there, and some of it's on him. Some 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:58.439 of it's, you know, holding the ball too long and 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:01.720 waiting for things to develop behind an offensive line that 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:05.040 doesn't give him a lot of time usually, And he 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:07.320 got sacked five times by the Rams. They had some 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:10.000 false starts and they just got themselves in a lot 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:12.199 of down and distance problems. And that's kind of been 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.560 the story for them throughout it that. You know, they've 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:16.840 had trouble running the ball, they've had trouble throwing the ball. 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:20.280 And I'm kind of surprised they hung in there against 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:22.760 the Rams and lost by eight points because they, you know, 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:25.640 they really couldn't talk about control the line of scrimmage 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:27.360 they had, they had a lot of trouble doing that, 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:30.040 but they did find a little bit of something in 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:33.680 the running game. In Week four, they were last in 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:37.159 rushing before that last game and they ended up with 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:40.280 like one hundred and thirty something yards. So I'm looking 0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:42.520 at that and I'm saying, Okay, we think this is 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:44.960 a get right game, but the Cowboys are gonna have 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:46.320 to go out and show that they can stop the 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:49.000 run because Jason Garrett's gonna come out and try to 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:51.119 do that. Like that's we know that about him. He 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:53.639 wants a power running game and take the pressure off 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:56.320 his young quarterback. So I fully expect him to test 0:20:56.359 --> 0:21:06.720 the Cowboys defense that way. Okay, Well, look, Danny Danny Dimes. 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:08.800 He wins two straight games as a rookie, and they 0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:12.400 give him a nickname, Danny Dimes, and ed comes new 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:15.880 offensive coordinator, Jason Garrett, and now he's looking like he's 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:19.200 looking like Daniel Paso. He's not looking good at all. 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:21.840 He's a sitting duck. He's a sitting duck for our 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:26.280
