Speaker 1: talking Chicago defense versus the Dallas offense. Before we do that, though,

13
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: we got a couple of topics we need to hit.

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna start, as we normally do, on some injury updates.

15
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: We got a pretty interesting list of guys who have

16
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: missed practice. Let's get some updates. Let's start with Ezekiel Elliott.

17
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: Where are we what are we hearing about him? And

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: what he's going to be doing today? Brian, Uh, nothing today,

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: and he's dealing with a hyper extended knee brain, Thank you,

20
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: is what he's dealing with. Hyper extended nice brain. Yeah,

21
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: that's what he's dealing with right now. So a lot

22
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: of other reports obviously, but yeah, that's the that's that's

23
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: a good hyper extended knice brain. And I was told

24
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: that everybody else is full of this, so we're gonna

25
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: stick with the hyper extended. So it would be good

26
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: if you stick with the hyper extended knee brain. Yeah.

27
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: When you see the injury that you know, and I'm

28
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: sure it all stems from the one where he was

29
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: on the sideline, he cuts back and he like, that's

30
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: what you would think it would be. Honestly, you would

31
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: think it'd be a hyper extended I thought it was

32
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: a thigh bruise. Initially, I didn't think it was me.

33
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: I thought it was thigh bruise when it first when

34
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: I saw it, and then the more I you know,

35
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: we figure out how to ask people around here. Yeah,

36
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: and it was still pre jumpy. I mean, he was

37
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: still jumping around on people after that. So yeah, so

38
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: zeke zeke. But the thing about when he said yesterday

39
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: we talked about this, when he said, I don't know

40
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: if I'll be playing. We'll see it's only Wednesday, but

41
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: it just didn't look like he would be playing. And

42
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: I get the sense. You get the sense, probably the

43
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: same that UM and the public relations department gets the

44
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: sense because they brought Tony Pollard out to do an

45
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: interview which they had never do right right after Zeke.

46
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: I just get the sense that Zeke won't be playing

47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: this week, and I think that by week has something

48
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: to do with it. Right afterwards, I think so the

49
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: I don't know is something that you wouldn't listen here.

50
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: No one is gonna go out there and be like,

51
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know if I will or not.

52
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: They're usually like, yeah, I'll be there or that's the plan.

53
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: The plan is for me to play, So that everything's

54
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: kind of hinting for him to possibly not playing. Obviously

55
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: having the bye week coming up probably huge to give

56
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: him kind of back to back weeks. Yeah, I agree.

57
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: I think that you know this, and you know he

58
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: didn't make him available though. I mean, that's that's not

59
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: like they just said you're not playing your out. I

60
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: mean I don't think anyone knows. Yeah, UM, but just

61
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: just people you talk to and whoever's telling you hyper

62
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: extended and probably saying he's not playing. I just I

63
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: have a feeling he wants the I got. I asked

64
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: this question yesterday late in the day. I said, you know,

65
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: what's your status of twenty one? And you know, a

66
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: couple of different people were saying to me, They're like, listen,

67
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: he didn't practice today. Let's see what happens on Thursday.

68
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: So he's not practicing again on Thursday. So I would

69
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: say that's a pretty good indication, you know, But that's

70
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: with him with Zeke. You know, you talk about Zeke

71
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: going out there and talking to the media yesterday, He's

72
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: probably that's what he's used to going to do, true,

73
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: you know, and it's like, Okay, this is my responsibility.

74
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: I walk out, I talk and they're probably, well, bro,

75
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: you don't have to. We've got Tony can go out

76
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: and talk. Well, no, it's my responsibility. I'll go do it. So,

77
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's doing everything like he's getting ready

78
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: to play a football game. He's just not gonna be practicing.

79
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: And I think with all the you know, we'll know

80
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: today later today. I think by the end of the

81
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: day it'll be like this guy can't you know, let's

82
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: let's be smart about it. But we'll go back to

83
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: last year. You know, I kept getting I kept asking

84
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: that question about is he okay? Is he okay? Is

85
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: he you knowing it? He's fine, he's fine. He's fining

86
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: at the end of the year while he was playing

87
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: with this and then you go, okay, so you know

88
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: that's he's a different cat. I think they have a

89
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: hard time telling him you can't play, you know, and

90
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: he and he doesn't want to hear it from you.

91
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to hear it that, you know. And

92
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: then now you have to ask yourself the question is

93
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: is he hurting the team by doing it? You know?

94
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: And I mean, and I mean it's respectfully, I don't mean.

95
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, is if he's just playing it,

96
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, sixty percent or less, does that helping your

97
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: your team? You know? And he plays hard, he really

98
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: really does. I just want to see him get healed up.

99
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: And because he's off to a great start right now. Yeah,

100
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: he really is. Everything you just said, Brian is the

101
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: reason why I'm I'm pessimistic about him playing, which is

102
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: like he usually, like you said, it's not one it's

103
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: not a situation where they're typically like Zeke, we're gonna

104
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: have to sit you down, Like Zeke's like I'm playing,

105
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm hurt, I'm playing. Yeah. And and the fact that

106
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: he said yesterday when he first said and I don't

107
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: really know, we'll see that, to me was like, WHOA, Okay,

108
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: then this is this is maybe a little more of

109
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: a situation where maybe he can't go than in typical

110
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: situations where it's like I'm hurt, but I'm playing, you

111
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: know where you know, That's what I think I would

112
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: expect to hear from him in most situations. You know,

113
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: I was getting pretty annoyed yesterday because we so we

114
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: put out a story and it was about Tony Pohler

115
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: when he talked to the media and all that, and

116
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: He'm basically saying, you know, he's he's ready to go

117
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: whatever he needs to, He's ready. But then I was

118
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: looking at the just kind of reading comments from the

119
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: fans and things like that and people just being like, good,

120
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: this is why we've been asking for like take out Zeke,

121
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: sit him out or whatever. I'm like, what are you

122
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 1: talking about. I'm dying to see. I'm not saying the

123
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: running game is gonna go down the drain if Zeke

124
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: is out. But I'm dying to see what exactly this

125
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: looks like, to see if, like, is this gonna please you?

126
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: Are you gonna be okay with like Tony Pollard taking

127
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: all the reps? I mean he wouldn't he wouldn't take

128
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: all of them. We would see who would be behind

129
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: him and all that. But it's just very, very annoying

130
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: to think that you're better off without having Zeke playing

131
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: as well. Well. I actually went back and looked at

132
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: the last time Zeke missed a game and they had

133
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: to roam with Tony Pollard. It was twenty twenty. They

134
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: were playing in San Francisco, forty nine ers I think

135
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: it was Week fourteen. Pollard went twelve carries for sixty

136
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: nine yards two touchdowns. He had a five point seven

137
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: five average. Here was the interesting part. He had six

138
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: catches for sixty three yards. Yeah. The way I look

139
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: at this is if they have to play a game

140
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: without Zeke number one, obviously Malik Davis probably be the

141
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: guy that's going to get a lot of those carries.

142
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: But in addition to that, your running game kind of

143
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: extends and it's not the same kind of running game anymore.

144
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: Now you may actually as opposed to some of those

145
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: runs that you would run with Zeke. Maybe now you're

146
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: throwing a little flare out to to Pollard. Hey, Brian,

147
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: you talked about this couple weeks ago. I remember what

148
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: team we were talking about, but how they use their

149
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: their their short passing game to their running backs as

150
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: kind of an extension of their running game, and even

151
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: the Cooper Cup they use that. It's kind of an

152
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: extension of their running game. It's not a running play,

153
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: but it's the same kind of short, quick passes that

154
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: can kind of get the ball out and let the

155
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: guy make a play from there. I think that's more

156
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: of probably what you're going to see instead of thinking

157
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: that Pollo it's going to be a twenty five carry

158
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: twenty carry guy. I don't think that's necessarily going to

159
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: be in the cards for what the Cowboys thinks the

160
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: best way to win. Yeah, I think that, you know,

161
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: what's the thing you have to think about next. And

162
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: by the way, when you look at comments, it does

163
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: nothing but living the mental health. Uh, you know, you

164
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: don't know if people are troll in there or not.

165
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: But anyway, Nick made a point yesterday about the running game.

166
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: When it comes to the short yardage running game. You know,

167
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: when it comes to Zeke is one of these guys

168
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: that's really good at finishing those runs. In the third

169
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: and one runs. I know last week it was a

170
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: little bit of you know, they were trying to do

171
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: some things a little bit differently and they weren't able

172
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: to convert like they had. This is now when the

173
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: game plan, if it is polar you have to think

174
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: of something different. You think like, okay, how are we

175
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: going to manufacture if we get in third and one,

176
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: third and two, how are we going to have to

177
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: manufacture the ability to run the ball. And so that's

178
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: that's going to be the trick because you can hand

179
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: the ball to Zeke and it's gonna get it to

180
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: be a first down. You're gonna you're gonna get those things.

181
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: So without him in the lineup, if he doesn't play,

182
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: that's the thing that I'm keeping my eye on in

183
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: this football game. You know, when you look at that

184
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: that game that you're talking about with the Niners, I

185
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: mean he was he was catching the ball, he was

186
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: running it. The thing about these games that you have

187
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: you have to remember, I mean twelve catch I mean

188
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: twelve carries sixty nine yards and five point seven yard average.

189
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: And I don't want to say throw out the forty

190
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: one yard touchdown run because it was a very good run.

191
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: He was like he got people off of him, and

192
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: you know it wasn't just like out he used to speed,

193
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: but he also was tough on it. But when you

194
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: look at it, you're also think of throughout the course

195
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: of the day, ten carries for twenty two yards. I mean,

196
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: so you gotta get to that point as well. You're

197
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: like ten carries for twenty two yards is very Zeke? Like,

198
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: Now did you keep doing it? You keep doing it

199
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: hoping that your playmaker will bust one and he's got

200
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: the ability to do that. So I never say throw

201
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: it out. But you also remember, can you with this offense,

202
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: let's say that this happens in this game, ten for

203
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: twenty two for the first three quarters? Is that going

204
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: to help you win this game? Like, like that's why

205
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: Zeke gets knocked all the time. But like you know,

206
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: three four or five tough yards moving some chains at times,

207
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: I think sometimes stats could be a little bit misleading. Yeah,

208
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: can I ask you question? Then it's a great man

209
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: it's a great point. There. Is it more and maybe

210
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: the word is mirage, you know, maybe I don't know

211
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: if if that's the right word. Is it more a

212
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: mirage of Cowboys running game or Cowboys run defense? And

213
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean mirage like is it like you're kind of

214
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: fooled that the run defense is okay and then the

215
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: running game is okay? I mean between the two, if

216
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: you had to say which one is more of one?

217
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: You can rely on Cowboys run defense or Cowboys running game.

218
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: I think I think the run defense is not as

219
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: bad as people think it is. I think that they

220
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: give up some yards. I think that they showed up

221
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: pretty good too when you get down to the goal

222
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: line area and short yardage. I think that's pretty good.

223
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: I count on them a little bit more than the

224
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: running game. But I mean I'm not Yeah, I think

225
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: the running games which one you hang your hat? Which

226
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: one you think you can hang your hat on. It's

227
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: more on the running game, because everything we've seen from

228
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: this team, and you can go back to preseason, has

229
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: been this team is a good running team. They know

230
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: how to run the ball. You know. Here's the thing

231
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: about that though, there McCarthy just said it we're gonna

232
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: run the ball. Yeah, that's his goal, that's the And

233
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: then when you go to the defense, what they're trying

234
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: to do. They're trying to get after the quarterback, so

235
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: they're gonna give up some runs, right. So yeah, I

236
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: think it's a style a little bit, but I'm not

237
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: as worried about the run defense as much, and I

238
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: think they do a decent job. Let's also be clear,

239
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: I think part of the issue with the run defense

240
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: is every team comes into the game saying, we got

241
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: to figure out creative ways to run the ball because

242
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: the last thing we can do is in a situation

243
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: that team can come and get our quarterback. Right, So

244
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna be facing teams that are gonna and I

245
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: haven't looked at numbers. I would. I'd be interested to

246
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: know where the Cowboys ranked with regards to rush attempts against, Like,

247
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: are they Are they way ahead of the next closest team.

248
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: Are they at the top of the league. I don't know.

249
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: I would be interested to know that, But I do

250
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: know a lot of teams probably have come into the

251
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: game with the thought, we gotta run the ball because

252
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: we can't get in situations where quarterbacks and they don't

253
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: get and they don't blow anyone out. I mean that's

254
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: the thing, like this team, this offense isn't stretching the

255
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: lead where you're down seventeen points and you got to

256
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: come back. I mean they're not They're not getting blown out.

257
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: So uh, teams can continue to run the ball to

258
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: try to get back in the game. See that's why

259
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: I was just thinking, because you know, we talk about

260
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: their ability to run the ball, and you know, it's

261
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: one of those things, Oh, I can run the ball

262
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: and run ball, and then you're thinking like, Okay, well

263
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: maybe there's sometimes they you know, maybe they can't maybe

264
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, you kind of and then we talk about

265
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: the run defense. No, the run defense is fine, and

266
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: then you think Philadelphia just ran the ball tend straight

267
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: times to end the game on it, right, you know,

268
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,599
Speaker 1: And that's the kind of things that you know, in

269
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: my mind, I think that they're I think the run

270
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: defense is better. I agree. I think the run defense

271
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: is better than what people are thinking about I do.

272
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: I think there's times when they just get blocked, you know,

273
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: and that happens in every NFL game. You can watch like, well,

274
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: what happened to that play? Well, you're in got blocked

275
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: your your linebacker was late getting over and the safety

276
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: didn't get down fast enough. You can do that in

277
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: every NFL game, but I don't think the Cowboys do

278
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: it every single play. I don't think it's every single

279
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: run against them is a bad fit. And the fact is,

280
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: even if you look at the numbers, the numbers say

281
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: they give up a lot of yards, as you were saying, Nick,

282
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: the fact is they're not giving up a ton of points,

283
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: not getting a lot of points at all. So so

284
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: it really is somewhat hollow because yes, teams can run

285
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: on them, teams have been able to run on them,

286
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: but it isn't resulting in points. So that's the thing

287
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: I remember with you. I asked Rod Marinelli this one

288
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: time and I said, you know, what do you worry

289
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: about more run deep? Excuse me? Yards or points? He says,

290
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: yards don't matter, it's the points. They can't win without

291
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: the points. You know, that's the he goes, you can

292
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: run on me or throw on me all day. If

293
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: I keep you out of the end zone, it doesn't matter.

294
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: You're not going to win the game. Yeah, a lot,

295
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: that's you know, it was his A lot of times

296
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: those great Belichick defenses with Brady and then the Patriots,

297
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: and they were one of the top offenses in the league.

298
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: They'd be last and in defense Kansas City for a

299
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: while there too, because you're up, but you're up seventeen points,

300
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: you're playing a pre event and point you know yards

301
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: are coming, and you know you end up giving up

302
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: three eighty and you blew them out. You know that happens. Yeah,

303
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 1: and that's okay. I think most teams, most coaches will

304
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: take that. All right, Let's get a couple other updates.

305
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: Terrence Steele, what's up with him? Neck injury? Um, I

306
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: didn't see. I didn't honestly, I didn't listen to McCarthy today,

307
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: so if he mentioned him, I know he's got neck injury.

308
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: I don't think it was that serious though, Yeah, I didn't.

309
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: I did not ask about him at all, and that thing.

310
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: So I'll follow back up. I think I think the

311
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: guys that they're Hooker and Noah Brown are the guys

312
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: that are that's probably going next. What's what's up with

313
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: the hooker and hamstring? For him not practicing two days

314
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: in a row now, so the three headed monster might

315
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: be closer to who plays back. I just thought of

316
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: the I'm just thought of something. Um, who can't play,

317
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be your center fielder? Yeah? I would think

318
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: that's probably Donovan Wilson more than it would be cursed. Yeah,

319
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: because yeah, Donovan Wilson would be bom could cold factor

320
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: into this? Yeah? I think that to me this, if

321
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: you had to play with a deep guy, you're gonna

322
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: play more likely with Smith than you would because we've

323
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: seen Smith in some in some games. I remember Jesus

324
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: was early in the year, might have been Cincinnati. They try,

325
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: they try a vertical nine route on the outside and

326
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: they and they got Brown squats. I mean he stops

327
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: and you see Smith come flying to make up for

328
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: the ground that the ball went down the sideline. So

329
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: I would say that he would be the one that

330
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: would probably played deep for you. Okay, and what are

331
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: we hearing about Noah Brown. He's supposed to work with

332
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: the trainers today, um, and at practice, and so he's

333
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: got a him hamstring for him. I have to look.

334
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry this list was huge, but yeah, got me.

335
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, the foot is probably way better than

336
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: a hamstring for a receiver in this case. But limited

337
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: yesterday and then he'll he's gonna be limited today. So again,

338
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: a lot of things you can figure out is also

339
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: moves that they make if they're adding people or any

340
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: add to the practice squad or anything like that. So um,

341
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: and I said this yesterday about running back, about they

342
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: got to do something. This practice squad's got eighty seven

343
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: players on it. Uh Quadra Ellison, Allison Quadre Allison. He's

344
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: running back on the practice squad, could probably get elevated

345
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: if Zeke doesn't play. Malik Davis moved up Allison as well,

346
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: that that could happen with him. Is that more for

347
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: special teams or is that just because you want to

348
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: have to have a third back. I mean they bring

349
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: up David once rico' daddall was hurt. They brought up

350
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: Davis every time they might be I mean, this will

351
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: be Davis's third call up, so they got to be

352
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: careful with that. If they want to keep him, they

353
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: can't call him up anymore. So we'll see, we'll see

354
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: what happens with him. But they do have another backup

355
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: running back, Allison. And they got some receivers as well,

356
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: Houston drumming maybe yeah. Yeah. So if they need for

357
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: Noah Brown, they could do that. The thing about that

358
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: with with Noah Brown though, is he's like the stuff

359
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: that he does on special teams. Yeah, he's the personal

360
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: protector on the punt team, you know, and that's a

361
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: that's a big responsibility to count them out, get everybody set.

362
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: The last thing you want to do is give up

363
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: a block punt. And you know who else has been

364
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: that personal protector and not this year, but in previous

365
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: years as Tony Pollard. Yeah, who could be starting this game?

366
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: So fossils, you know, got some that. That's the job

367
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: of a special teams coordinator. You've you've got you know,

368
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: moving parts all the time. Yeah, guys that you rely on.

369
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes we get called into a different role and you

370
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: got a doubt. You're a triple A manager, is what

371
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: you are. You get these guys ready to go, and

372
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they're like, oh, we're gonna

373
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: win a game. Like no, he's moving up to the show.

374
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: You're like, dang, it's and I gotta figure another guy

375
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: Like that's that's what the special teams coordinators do. All right,

376
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys, Jonas. We're gonna take our first break

377
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: and we come back. We'll jump into to Chicago defense

378
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: versus the Dallas offense. Then when we come back back

381
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: Cat repellent he bought online was reliable. And now Todd

382
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: is trying to be faster in this cheetah that can

383
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: run eighty miles per hour. But the good news is

384
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: Todd has AT and T five G. It is fast, reliable,

385
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,239
Speaker 1: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do

386
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the

387
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,520

437
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 1: talk about the Cowboys offense versus Chicago defense. Brian, what's

438
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: the best thing they do, worst thing they do? I'll

439
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,479
Speaker 1: tell you what. The thing I think that they do

440
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 1: the best is they actually have guys that can get

441
00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: after the football. And I mean they've they've they're trade

442
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: away the one guy. But you know, he had been

443
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: struggled a little bit though, Yeah he has been, but

444
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: he's playing a lot of snaps for them. I mean,

445
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: he's been kind of an up and down player. Robert Quinn,

446
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: we'll see him on Christmas Eve. We'll see Robert Quinn then.

447
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: But they do have Roquan Smith, who I think is

448
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: a really, really good football player. And I know there

449
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: was a lot of people talking about, well the Bears

450
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: trade him. Is a guy on the block and all that,

451
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: and he doesn't play like a guy that wants to leave.

452
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: He's playing as hard as he can. He's an undersized

453
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: linebacker that runs everywhere, and so you know you're gonna

454
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: have to deal with him and the secondary though, I

455
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: think this is a little bit of the strength of

456
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: their team though. This Chiquon Brisker is a safety that

457
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: they got out of Penn State. It's kind of a

458
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: ball hawk. You know, when you watch him play, he's

459
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: a good tackler. He's around the ball. If you watch

460
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: the Monday night game the other night, he had a

461
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: high point interception. You know, he's that type of guy

462
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: that you really you have to respect for a young guy.

463
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: He sees the field really really well and is not

464
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: afraid to tackle if you're going to attack one of

465
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 1: their cornerbacks. Jalen Johnson number thirty three is the guy

466
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: I would go after. He's the second year player that

467
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: they had there. He plays a little bit more cautiously

468
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: than I would like my corners to play, so you

469
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: see him play off quite a bit, and then he's

470
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: always driving on the ball, where on the other side,

471
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: like Kyler Gordon, guys like that are just you know,

472
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: they're driving on the ball, they're playing, they're playing aggressively,

473
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: they're playing press coverage. They're not afraid of that. So

474
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, that's where I would keep an eye on

475
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: Johnson also too. If this Lamar Johnson number, Lamar Jackson

476
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: number twenty three is on the field, he's a guy

477
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: that's had some problems in coverage as well, so there's

478
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: some guys that you can attack in this secondary. Uh

479
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: you know. They their offensive line did a really good

480
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: job of getting after New England. And then I went

481
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: back and watched the Minnesota game, uh you know, and

482
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: did another good job there. So it's the front is

483
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: not as good as what the Cowboys have played. But

484
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: the linebacker, when you talk about Smith, Brisker, Gordon, They've

485
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: got some guys. Eddie Jackson's another one, another safety on

486
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: their team whose places as a free safety that's in

487
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: on a lot of plays. So it's a it's a

488
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: defense they'll give up a little bit, but but they

489
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 1: do have some quality on the with some of the players.

490
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: They have real quick nick. Before you jump in, I

491
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: wanted to throw out some stats. You remember yesterday I

492
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: was talking about how far Yeah, listen to the defense.

493
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: They are third in passing yards allow per game, giving

494
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: up one hundred and eighty point three, so they don't

495
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: give up much to gear. They are thirtieth in rush

496
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: yards per game, giving up almost one hundred and fifty

497
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: yards per game on the ground, so once again it

498
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: is a feast or famine. They can stop the run,

499
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: I mean they can they can stop the pass but

500
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: the running game, well, and you should be able to

501
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: run against them again based on their numbers of what

502
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: they've Yeah, they are. They are a very soft run defense.

503
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes you run the ball so well that you don't

504
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: throw it and it makes to me may better. Yeah,

505
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: you know, and so that I do. That's a that's

506
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: not a it's not the case. Yes, the running part

507
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: of it is, like I say, real quin Smith has

508
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: to make nearly every tackle. But the secondary I think

509
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: is legitimate. Yeah, I really really do. I think Brisker's

510
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: a really good young player. Gordon's a rookie. He's a

511
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: really good young player. You know this. Eddie Jackson's a

512
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: good player too. They've got legitimate cover guys. Yeah, they're

513
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: only holding I mean they're they're not getting more than

514
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty yards. And I know that that

515
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: game situations can can dictate that, but that that still

516
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: is a really good number. I they're holding teams one

517
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty yards through the year. That's pretty significant

518
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,719
Speaker 1: through a seven game season. Absolutely. Yeah. The zeke's listening

519
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: to the show right now because he's you know, relaxed,

520
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: and he's like, wait, wait a second. Now, they're given

521
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: up how many yards a game. He's like, Oh, I'm

522
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, pooard. All those guys are in Anbar's

523
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: mentions about me playing this week. I'm all about that.

524
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: And people are gonna come back and be like, see

525
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: that's why Tony Polar should be running the ball all

526
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: the time. And he's like, well, hold off. But that's

527
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: also because the opponent your face in mental health and

528
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: not look at mentions, do not look get the mensions.

529
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: It's it will ruin you every single time. It will

530
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: ruin you. Here's a question I have for you, Brian.

531
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: The only top ten offense passing um top ten passing

532
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,479
Speaker 1: offense that they've played so far as Minnesota. Right. Uh,

533
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: Minnesota let him up for a three hundred and twelve

534
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: passing yards. Minnesota can throw the ball, And my question becomes, yeah,

535
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: have is this? Is? This? Is there number? Are there numbers?

536
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: More a reflection of the fact that they really haven't

537
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: played other than Minnesota a good passing offense. Do you

538
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: think they're really that good? No? No, I think they're good.

539
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: But but Minnesota, that was one of the games I watched,

540
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: and I was and I was interested about that because

541
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: I think Minnesota can throw the ball. We all know

542
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,959
Speaker 1: Minnesota can throw the ball. As long as Kirk Cousins

543
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: doesn't play in primetime, they're fine. Kurt Cousins will lose

544
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: you a game in primetime, but you play at noon

545
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: on a Sunday, he's gonna light you up for three

546
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: hundred and whatever yards. But they've got legitimate receivers, they've

547
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: got the offense. I think Minnesota. We'll talk about Minnesota

548
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: here down the road, but I think the thing, yeah,

549
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: three thirty game, Yeah, well he just just oh no, yeah,

550
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: if if if he's gonna play, if Kirk Cousins is

551
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: gonna play a big time nationally televised game, you might

552
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: as well just bet the house on whoever they're playing

553
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: that day, Like Mark Cooper home in a way, very

554
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: very similar, very similar, very similar kind of thing. But

555
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: the thing you're onto something. I do feel like that

556
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 1: those guys. I watched these guys against against New England

557
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: really closely, just because it was the last game, and

558
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, and Bailey's Appy came in, it had some success,

559
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden after that it was

560
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: just bumped. They shut that thing down. I mean, they

561
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: got they were able to get a little pressure, they

562
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: were able to cover a little better on the back end.

563
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: They could have wilted in that game on Monday night

564
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: and they didn't. And I think that's the thing about

565
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: it is, but if you talk to people around the

566
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: league about this team, it's like, Okay, show me you

567
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: could play this way again. Show me you could show

568
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: me you could play offense this way again. Show me

569
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback and have success this way. You know. He

570
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: says that usually it's usually not one of those things

571
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 1: that always travels that well. You know that you can

572
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: be able to like start to put some of these

573
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: things together, especially a team that struggled as much as

574
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: they have on offense, they didn't score any points, but

575
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: their defense. I think their defense is the best part

576
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: of the you know. And Matt Eberflus, You gotta remember

577
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: this about Eberflus. There was a game at a time

578
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: when this team went Dak Prescott went to Indianapolis. It

579
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: was one of the worst games that Dak Prescott had

580
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: ever played. I think was a twenty nine to nothing,

581
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: twenty six to nothing game, and it just yea completely

582
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: shut Dak Prescott and Matt Eberflus was the DC that day.

583
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: So maybe he has some ideas of how you attack

584
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: attack this, attack this play. That's what I'm saying that Smith,

585
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: who was a similar linebacker that could run. I mean,

586
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: he's got a couple of sacks, hint. And that game.

587
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: You know, we mentioned that before about a game. Sometimes

588
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: games are just a stinkers. I mean, like they had

589
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: I think they had won six in a row and

590
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: then came back in one four to five. After that

591
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: that was a ten out of eleven stretch and lost

592
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: was a I think it was twenty two to nothing,

593
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: and it was like we didn't think this was possible

594
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: after with a mari the in the offense now, so

595
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: you're right, Eberflus, you know, and he knew the personnel

596
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: probably a little better than that he knows it now.

597
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: But um still, he's got he's got some really good

598
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: defensive players. Maybe not enough, but he's got some good

599
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: one Montgomery, I know, flipping to the other side. But

600
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: but their offense I think helps will help their defense

601
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: if they can run the ball. I mean Montgomery had

602
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,479
Speaker 1: a head about an eight yard run. That's about as

603
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: good as an eight yard run as you can have it.

604
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw it. I'm sure you did,

605
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: but like you know, if you remember it, you know

606
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: he's just hit in the backfield and it was spinning

607
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: and churning and then you're like where is he and

608
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: then all of its oils I getting two. You know

609
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: that that's what can't happen in this game because that's

610
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: what will keep fields from being in long, third and

611
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: long situations. Because even at third and three, third and four,

612
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: we saw it in third and fifteen he got looked

613
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: like he was gonna get sacked and ended up running

614
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: and getting the first out. He is a big time

615
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: runner now, but he's not faster than Mike, as Micah

616
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: Michael said that, Yeah, he's a not faster than me. Yeah,

617
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: check out some of these numbers. Also on their defense,

618
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: they are tops in the league when it comes to

619
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: a percentage of passes, percentage of drop backs that they

620
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: get pressure on um and but here's the interesting thing.

621
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: They're dead last in the league when it comes to

622
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: percentage of plays that they actually blitz. So they're doing

623
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: with their front four and they're only twentieth and sacks

624
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: so they're not really getting home as might as you

625
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: want them to. But they're certainly getting pressure. My question

626
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: is how much of that changes without Robert Quinn. You

627
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: would think he's a big part. He only has one sack,

628
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: but when it comes to pressures, he is a good

629
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: pressure player. How much of that changes without him? No,

630
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: I think it changes a lot because if you look

631
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: at the players that they have, you know, and and

632
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: and you go through it, they don't have that bell

633
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: cow guy. They just don't have. I mean you know that.

634
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: You look at you know, Gibson and Blackston and Jones

635
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: and Muhammad. I mean it's you know, it's it's kind

636
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: of a group that's just you know, very You watch

637
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: him and you just don't get fired up about you

638
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: You're saying, oh, man, you had to deal with this guy,

639
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: you know, Dominic Robinson and guys like that. I mean,

640
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: they've got some young players. The thing about it is

641
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: Quinn's the one guy I worried about Quinn going over

642
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: and Russian and seeing and having the opportunity over Tyler

643
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: Smith because Quinn is so He's the kind of guy

644
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: that gives Tyler Smith a little bit of the problem

645
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: because of how slippery you know, a veteran guy, low shoulder,

646
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: don't you know, if if Smith misses with his hands,

647
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: now it turns into he's out of sorts. And Quinn

648
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: was that kind of guy. Quinn makes you miss. And

649
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: that was the one thing I was worried about. I'm

650
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: like going, I think steel might be okay, but if

651
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: you flip it on the other side, I man, the

652
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: thing about I was worried about Tyler Smith taking on

653
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: Robert Quinn over there. I really really was. You know

654
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: another thing too, when you're looking at the Zeke Polar

655
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: thing on playing in the game, and we mentioned this before.

656
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: You know, just because Zeke gets twelve carries in the

657
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: game doesn't mean that he had twelve collisions. I mean,

658
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: he's a guy that picks up the blitz and he's

659
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: out there a lot. And if Pollard has to do

660
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: that more, that's more collisions for him. Is Malik Davis

661
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: going to be out there? And if so, what's his

662
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: awareness look like? So, you know, we say it all

663
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: the time, it's not just about who's making the flashy

664
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: runs you see on Sports Center. It's about all of

665
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: the dirty works that comes with being the top running back.

666
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: And so it's a big challenge for Pollard if he's

667
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: going to do that, and he's willing, but he's going

668
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: to have to do it and do it with success.

669
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: If not, then they might have to put Malik Davis

670
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: out there. And then, you know, we've seen what happens

671
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: when rookies. Maybe you think it's this way and then

672
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: it's this way and your quarterbacks running for his life.

673
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: So that's a big part of it too well. And

674
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: Nick makes a great point because what happens is running

675
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: backs know how offensive lineman block. You do not want

676
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: to get in the way of a tackle when he's

677
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: trying to say, you're trying to chip a guy and

678
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: all seen you hit the tackle in the back and

679
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: now he's thrown off because he's dealing with the guy

680
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: because you don't know where you need to fit. You know,

681
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: those are the things that Posthered and Zeke understand because

682
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: they played games with these offensive linemen. Now, you know,

683
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: there's been some times where Smith has got some work

684
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: in the preseason with some of the guys and stuff,

685
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: but not to the point where he's about to see

686
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,880

733

Speaker 1: Only Beer of the Dallas Cowboys. Let's get to some questions.

734
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: A few more questions on the Cowboys offense. Actually, this

735
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: question comes from one of our listeners, Gee and Jersey.

736
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: He says, what serious adjustments does you do you guys

737
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: suggest the offense coordinator make in order to compete down

738
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: the road against future opponents. If you could look at

739
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,399
Speaker 1: this offense and say, is is one thing that the

740
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: coordinator could do different or one area that they could

741
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: improve in that would make the beast difference. I wish

742
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: he could scheme his receivers open more on specific and

743
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm not just talking about third down plays or stuff

744
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: like that. I wish there was some stuff on first

745
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: downs where we see some a little bit more. If

746
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: it's bunch or twins, whatever you want to do. But like,

747
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, routes that like free guys up. I mean,

748
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: the league sometimes will call penalties if you pass interfere

749
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: and then a lot of times they'll just let it go.

750
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: I'd like to see more opportunity where you have combination

751
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: routes where all of a sudden, guys are just wide open.

752
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: It's just because And you know the other the other day, gosh,

753
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: who was it that ran a route? That was? It was?

754
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: It was? It was the Rams game, I believe it was.

755
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: But you know that you have a receiver, Oh, I know,

756
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: it's the Eagles game. You have receivers. It was Smith

757
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: from the Eagles. They run they run a combination route

758
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: where he picks all the way across the field and

759
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: now you've got guys running wide open and you're like going,

760
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: But he made it look like it was a route.

761
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: He went straight up the field and now we have

762
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: a collision with Anthony Brown and George Lewis and all

763
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: those guys. But then you got a guy running Scott

764
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: free and it's an easy throw and now it's a

765
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: big play. But that's to me. I just like to

766
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: see them take these receivers so I know that have

767
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 1: talent and free them up a little more. Don't don't

768
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: don't just say okay, you have to run this, or

769
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: you have to do things where you can maybe coordinate.

770
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: Whether just get them wide open, not just you know,

771
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: not just a little bit open. Get them wide open

772
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 1: is what I was looking at. I'd like to see

773
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 1: him get Turpin involved. I think he's a dynamic player

774
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: that can stretch the field both vertically but all so horizontally.

775
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: I think you got fifty three yards to work with,

776
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: and I think he's a guy that could run crossing royality.

777
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: He can do reverses, fake reverses, whatever. He's just got

778
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: that dynamic ability in the open field that has so

779
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: few opportunities this year, and yet he's still if you

780
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: go to YouTube, he's got a highlight package. He's got

781
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: about eight nine plays that he's got this year, and

782
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't get the ball very much. Why do you

783
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: why do you think that is? Why do you think

784
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: that at this point they haven't figured out how to

785
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: get him more involved in the offense. There could be

786
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: a couple of reasons. Can I can I throw a

787
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: thought out there on this? Yeah, I think you have

788
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: a wide receiver coach that wants to play with bigger guys.

789
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: I mean I understand and that that don't please, don't

790
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: kill the messenger. No, I know, it's just you know,

791
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the it's the situation where you get

792
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: a guy. It's like and they and they ran a

793
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 1: preseason they ran a bunch of formation with him scattered

794
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: it and he shot through the middle and he was

795
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: separated and Cooper Rush got hit in the back and

796
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: kind of threw the ball into the line and it

797
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: was gonna be a touchdown. I mean, it was a

798
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: designed throw that was going to be a touchdown. And

799
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: you're thinking, wow, they saw that in the preseason. Why

800
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: is that some Why can't we bring that one back

801
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 1: for another day? And I believe it. I think you're

802
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: gonna see. I think you're gonna see what you want

803
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: to see after the bye week. After the bye because

804
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: what happened, Yeah, the self scout stuff. These coaches will

805
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: sit down, you know, because of league rules, you can't practice.

806
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: You gotta give players days off. They're gonna be gone.

807
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: What a coach is gonna do. They're gonna sit around

808
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: and they're gonna go, hey, let's self scout this thing.

809
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: What are the something that we haven't done in the

810
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,919
Speaker 1: first half of the season that we can break out

811
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: now against the Packers, the Vikings, you know, these games

812
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: against the AFC South or Philadelphia. What are these What

813
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,919
Speaker 1: can we do that's into you? Turpin is a great

814
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: example of that. You know, hey, they haven't seen this,

815
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: we haven't shown that. You know. That's where I think

816
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 1: after the bye you're gonna get your wish because these

817
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: I think you could feel like you could beat Detroit,

818
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: hopefully beat Chicago, and then you're gonna need some big

819
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: plays in some of these other games against Minnesota and

820
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: Green Bay. I think I hope that they actually do that,

821
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 1: because the very few times that they have put Turpin

822
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: out their own offense, they don't utilize in for anything.

823
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: It's just like literally a waste of an extra body

824
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: out there on the field, because even for blocking situation,

825
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he can't be blocking anybody he's so small.

826
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: So I'm with you on just kind of a combination

827
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: of what you two said. One just finding new creative

828
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: ways to do things and utilizing the different types of

829
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 1: weapons and talent that you do have. And then how

830
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: do you free up the receivers. I mean, last week

831
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: we saw different times where they were double coverage, triple coverage.

832
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: The ball wasn't getting there, and that's a problem. And

833
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: yesterday I was watching James Washington, and I know he's

834
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: working his way back. He was out there practicing, and

835
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 1: I watch him and I'm just like, even with him

836
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: coming back, I don't think that's the answer for this

837
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: whole wide receiver group. I'm not. And that's not a

838
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: knock on him or anything, but he's just physically not

839
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: the type of receiver I like, or prefer or want

840
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: to have on the team. He's kind of more like

841
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: a bulky guy. I would like someone that's lengthier, longer,

842
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: that feels lighter when they run. He just seems so

843
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: heavy and and he's working hard, and we haven't necessarily

844
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: seen him yet in the offense. So I hope he

845
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: when he is ready to come back, he's able to

846
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 1: bring something. But right now, it's just nothing unless it

847
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: makes some kind of trade, which could happen because next

848
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: week on Tuesday, next Tuesday on Tuesday, Okay, there's still

849
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,479
Speaker 1: time for some kind of trade. But I just see

850
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: it very unlikely. No, I think he gave a good

851
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 1: scouting report about him. Also, maybe they're in a situation

852
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: where bones Fossils like, listen, don't hurt my right, And

853
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,439
Speaker 1: by the way he is, he is providing something. Yeah,

854
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? How many times do you guys?

855
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: Did you guys see the flips? Yeah? Yeah, the end

856
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: of the game they go Landry shift and he backflips it.

857
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: Zeke turns around because he knows it's about to happen.

858
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's the thing about it is though, that

859
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: you know, maybe that bones Fossil is looking at the

860
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: situation we how many times Nick if we when I

861
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: was with you guys at Dallas Cowboys dot Com that

862
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: we had that discussion about, well, put put CD back

863
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: there and return punts, put Dez back there and return punts.

864
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: Put you in You're like, Okay, the minute that one

865
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: of those guys gets put Digs back there, let him

866
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: return punts, and the minute the breaks his ankle, then

867
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna look at me and go, what were you

868
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 1: thinking when you wanted to put your best player back

869
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: there the return punts? And there might be a thing

870
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: where bones Fossils like, listen, you hurt him. I've got

871
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: nobody else that can do it is dynamically as that

872
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: kid does. Yeah, and he provides a spark, Like there

873
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: are games that Philly game like they needed that in

874
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: the moment. They got a big return from it. And

875
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: they're gonna be games like that this year when you

876
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 1: play good, good opponents where you might need that spark

877
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 1: from specialty teams and if you don't have him, you

878
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: don't have it. That Detroit punter hammered the ball and

879
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: he brought it back fifty four yards. He took a

880
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: punt that was hammered and brought it back to where

881
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: it was like, ha, no way, not today, Foxes, You're

882
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 1: not putting that ball sixty yards because I'm gonna bring

883
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: it back fifty four you know. And he's so upset

884
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: by it too, like yeah, he's like he's he's I mean,

885
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: he's one thing away from, you know, one guy away

886
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: from doing it. But you keep bringing the ball back.

887
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: You know, there's people in the league, like, you know,

888
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: there's pro guys these teams now they're going, what do

889
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 1: we not like about this kid? Why? Why or why

890
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: do they have him? And we're sitting here returning the

891
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: ball for three yards a punt You know why. And

892
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: you know that's a that's a good question there, sir.

893
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: And I probably won't have a job tomorrow because I

894
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 1: can't get a guy like that, you know. I mean,

895
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 1: I give the Scotting Department credit for they they looked

896
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: at the u USFL and they said, he's the one

897
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: guy we like the best. Yeah, and you know, we

898
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: think we can we can get him. He's in Texas

899
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 1: Kid for Worth Kid, you know, and I played at TCU,

900
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: and we think we can get him in. But here's

901
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: another thing about it. A lot of I'd wears jersey

902
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: if I could, Yeah, I would, you'd be a player.

903
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: I'd wear his jersey. I beture there's a few out there.

904
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: You can just rip the back off of a Romo

905
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: and take the name right off. Yeah, yeah, No. I

906
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: think a lot of times when you get a guy

907
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: like that, one of the questions could be he's not

908
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: ready mentally to do all of the things on an offense. However,

909
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 1: in this case, he came into camp midway through camp

910
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: or early into camp, and he was doing things on

911
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: offense very early. Seven on seven right, he got himself
