Speaker 6: Today we turned the page. We start looking forward Cowboys

18
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 6: versus Chargers. That happens this Monday night. And Cowboys are

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 6: on Monday Night football this week, so they will start

20
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 6: their practices today, kind of move everything a little bit

21
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 6: forward to get ready for that Monday night game. We'll

22
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 6: start getting you guys ready today. Brian will give us

23
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 6: a breakdown of the Dallas offense versus the Chargers defense.

24
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 3: Let's start first though, what setting the table.

25
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 6: What are we looking like right now as far as

26
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 6: the as far as the injuries aren't concerned going into

27
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 6: this week, the things we need to be aware of

28
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 6: and keep an eye on.

29
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 4: No changes from yesterday.

30
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 7: LVE and c J good when they're both still expected

31
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 7: to be strong candidates for IR. Still looks like it's

32
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 7: a possibility for return for LVE after the four to

33
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 7: six week period. Cowboys are still working to make determinations there.

34
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 7: Calante Turpin still has a chance to practice when they

35
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 7: officially get it underway on tomorrow, because Thursday is the

36
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 7: Wednesday this week. Jordan Lewis will see how much he

37
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 7: does in practice. But like I said, I spoke with

38
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 7: him and some other folks on Sunday after the game

39
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 7: and he sounds like he's good to go. Just some soreness,

40
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 7: but no structural damage or anything, so that's good. Tyler

41
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 7: Biadish with the ankle injury, He's expected to play on

42
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 7: Monday night as long as things progress well for him

43
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 7: this week. Other than that, I mean, they're, you know,

44
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 7: expected to host some linebacker workouts today. The list is

45
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 7: not finalized, so we're not gonna address it just yet.

46
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 7: But there's a chance the Cowboys will add one or

47
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 7: maybe even two linebackers, and they're gonna need it because

48
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 7: they needed for defensive rotation and they also needed for

49
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 7: special teams as far as C. J.

50
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 4: Goodwill being out as well, So we will.

51
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 7: Get some real updates tomorrow, particularly when McCarthy is available again.

52
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 7: And then when practice kind of starts kicking off, it.

53
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 6: Sounds more and more like, really, when it comes down

54
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 6: to linebacker position, Mike is gonna be your answer and

55
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 6: they're looking for depth of this.

56
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 7: There I go, Yeah, they're gonna They're looking to go

57
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 7: back to the versatility of Micaeh, mixing him as an

58
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 7: off ball linebacker and dropping him down at D as needed.

59
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 7: And that's kind of what dan Quinn was intimating in

60
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 7: his press conference on Monday when I asked him about

61
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 7: you know, the what, how do you supplement the loss

62
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 7: of lv particularly when you consider that LVE has been

63
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 7: one of your better run defenders. So yeah, that going

64
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 7: to be the initial plan, and I think the couple

65
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 7: is going to stick to that and we'll see who

66
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 7: they can add as far as behind him and Damon Clark,

67
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 7: and Bones is definitely going to need another strong special

68
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 7: teams guy.

69
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on Damon Clark right now?

70
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 6: I know we all had high hopes for him when

71
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 6: he was drafted, and what we saw from him knowing

72
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 6: he was coming off the injury, what we saw from

73
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 6: him the rest of his rookie year certainly made me

74
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 6: think there was a possibility that he could take a

75
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 6: big leap having an entire offseason.

76
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 3: What are you thinking of his play so far?

77
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 2: Better in the New England game and kind of struggled

78
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: every other game since then. I don't think he's played

79
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: with the awareness or the downhillness that he normally plays.

80
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: I just made up a word there, downhillness. But that's

81
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: what he that's what he does, and you know that's

82
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: he's going to be a physical player. He's going to

83
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: be around the ball, he's going to get off blocks.

84
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: I kind of felt like that he was one of

85
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: those guys that you know, with him and Van der

86
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: Esh paired up, they were so much. They were really

87
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: a good little combination last year when they got the opportunity,

88
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: he wasn't as good a player when Anthony Barr was

89
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: next to him. It was a struggle there. I'm interested

90
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: to see now. You know, with vander Esch being out

91
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: of the lineup and him and Parsons, the group will

92
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: be physical on the back end, There's no question about that.

93
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: But you know, demon I just felt like that he

94
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: was going to be you know, when you look at

95
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: what Overshown was able to do, and I hate to

96
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: keep comparing that, but Overshowing plays six plays, he's got

97
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: three tackles. You know, you kind of expected the same

98
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: thing with the Moon Clark. You expected him to read, react,

99
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: get to the ball, finish, and it really has been

100
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: a struggle. The New England game was his best game

101
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: by far. Other than that, it's been it's been kind

102
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: of just kind of, you know, really playing in neutral

103
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 2: for this defense.

104
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, and with him, I mean, the defense have been

105
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 8: playing in its majority so well that it's one of

106
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 8: those that you don't really pay much attention to or

107
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 8: bring it up to the table because he hasn't necessarily

108
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 8: been an issue until it does become an issue too

109
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 8: now where we're sitting here and looking, well, who do

110
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 8: we have to replace and help here with depth? Oh

111
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 8: where's he at? And like you said, everything, he's become

112
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 8: that player that I've kind of obviously I haven't forgotten

113
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 8: about him because I know he's on the team and

114
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 8: he said a guy that you you want to keep

115
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 8: looking to see how he develops. But he kind of

116
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 8: has become like going under the shadows and become slightly

117
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 8: unforgettable or forgettable the other way, forgettable just because everybody

118
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 8: else has been kind of doing so well on defense overall.

119
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 8: But when you do face those games that you're like, okay,

120
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 8: you start looking and breaking down those plays and seeing

121
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 8: like he has not, unfortunately been that player, Derek, that

122
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 8: you mentioned that we have been waiting on.

123
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 7: It's a great point that I think he's been kind

124
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 7: of flying under the radar because of, you know, the

125
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 7: headliners on defense, My could Tank. The list goes on

126
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 7: and on, the league, jay Ron, Treyvon before the team

127
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 7: lost Treyvondron Blan, Jordan Lewis Lve. I mean again, list

128
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 7: goes on and on. So he's kind of flown onder

129
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 7: the radar as far are as not being asked to

130
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 7: step up massively in impact games. He's definitely had some

131
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 7: flash plays. He had the great game against New England.

132
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 7: A little bit of inconsistency there. So I think he's

133
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 7: just trying to string together. He's trying to work it

134
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 7: out as a year two guy who's coming off his

135
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 7: first full offseason with the Cowboys. Obviously, last offseason he

136
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 7: lost that to the next surgery. So it just looks

137
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 7: like he's working to figure it out. And when he flashes,

138
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 7: he flashes big. When he has a strong game like

139
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 7: he had in New England against the New England Patriots

140
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 7: at and T Stadium, it stands out. It pops right

141
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 7: off the film. It's just a matter of him needing

142
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 7: more reps and guess what, he's about to get more

143
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 7: because with Lve going down, even if you look at

144
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 7: at you know, going back to the versatility of Michael Parsons,

145
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 7: you're really looking at Dumont Clarke to say, hey, we

146
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 7: know that you're trying to strain good games together. We

147
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 7: really need you to find that next gear and it's

148
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 7: going to start as early as Los Angeles.

149
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 6: Now, do you think he'll take that kind those kind

150
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 6: of snaps, like I mean, obviously Lve was getting the

151
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 6: most snaps of any of the linebackers. That he's going

152
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 6: to step up to that role or do you think

153
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 6: it's still going to kind of be using it. I

154
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 6: want to say, when I saw before he was like

155
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 6: roughly fifty percent of the snaps.

156
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 3: I need to go look it up. But you think

157
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 3: you'll have more at this point I.

158
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: Think that you really it depends on how you want

159
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: to play Parsons. Yeah, you know, and so it's he

160
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: he's going to have to he's the most if you

161
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: look at it, the most experienced, you know, most experience.

162
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: And now he's only in his second year. But if

163
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: you look at the number of the number of snaps

164
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: that he's played, you mentioned if it's fifty to fifty,

165
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: I'm sure Patrick is going to tell you exactly what

166
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: it is. But yeah, you know, you're you're you know,

167
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: he's out there, he's he's part of it. It's not

168
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: like they use more keys bell and it's just kind

169
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: of a part time thing. He's a guy that's been playing.

170
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: When they go with they like their base where they

171
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: played at the two linebackers him, vander Esh and then

172
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: they bring down the safety. You know, that's kind of

173
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: the look. He's out there on the field. So I

174
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: assume that he is going to take that role of

175
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: what vander Esh does.

176
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 7: Agree you're talking about you're losing eighty nine percent of

177
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 7: your defensive snaps if once you lose rander Esh and

178
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 7: the moon Clark was logging fifty eight percent of the

179
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 7: defensive snaps. So I don't know that demon Clark jumps

180
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 7: up to eighty nine almost ninety percent, but I think

181
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 7: you could see him jump to seventy seventy five percent.

182
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 7: And then you make up the difference with who.

183
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 6: Does make up different because Mike is already out there

184
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 6: a lot, right, Who makes up the difference?

185
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 5: Is it? Is?

186
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 4: It? Probably one of those guys.

187
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 7: I think it's going to be a combination of Marque's

188
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 7: bell and whomever they end up signing. If they end

189
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 7: up signing someone from this workout group that they expecting.

190
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 8: But if they do sign someone from the guys so

191
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 8: they're working out, are you expecting that person, that player

192
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 8: to be ready to go for this game.

193
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 7: My gut would say no, But when you're in dire straits,

194
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 7: that kind of forces your hand sometimes.

195
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: So I've seen corners playing playoff game.

196
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, off the shop, absolutely absolutely right about that.

197
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely happens, but not often.

198
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 4: This is Xavier Roads.

199
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 7: But I mean again, I don't and ideal circumstances, you

200
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 7: would like to see more time for the guys to

201
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 7: come in. We talked about offline. We talked about Michael

202
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 7: Jones yesterday. He's an option for linebacker on the practice squad.

203
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 7: But when I talked to Mike McCarthy about him, the

204
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 7: expression Mike McCarthy had gave me the indication that they

205
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 7: want him more time to ramp up. Okay, well, if

206
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 7: that applies there, it probably applies to any one of

207
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 7: these new guys coming in. But again, the difference would

208
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 7: be what's the what's the football experience of Michael Jones

209
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 7: versus one of these newer guys coming in. So if

210
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 7: it's more of a veteran coming in who's more proven

211
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 7: and can probably tap in more immediately and be more impactful,

212
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 7: then that has.

213
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 4: To go into the conversation as well.

214
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 2: Well. They also like Malik Jefferson. Yeah, and you know

215
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: that's what we'll see that. That's one of those Malik

216
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: Jefferson is that you talk about a flash player. There's

217
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: times where he's been you know, like, okay, I see

218
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: what you're doing here, first preseason game and then other

219
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 2: games you're just kind of like, you know, he's kind

220
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: of like everybody else getting blocked and you know those things.

221
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: So they have a lot of faith in him. They do.

222
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: They keep them on the practice squad and you know,

223
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 2: they elevate him, they bring him up he's been kind

224
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 2: of playing special teams and stuff like that. But there's

225
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 2: there's going to be this linebacker group, whether who had

226
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 2: ever they bring in, the two guys they bring in,

227
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 2: it is going to be a piece together unit for

228
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 2: at least four weeks until they figure things completely out.

229
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's not one person that you can plug into

230
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 7: this LV world and say, Okay, that's the definitive solution.

231
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 7: It's gonna you're gonna have to attack it by a committee.

232
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 3: And be nice to have over shown right now?

233
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 4: Who really wan'd you go there? Right in the gest?

234
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 4: All right, so here we go.

235
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 6: Let's let's turn the page. Just talk a little bit

236
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 6: about the Chargers. This is a two and two team.

237
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 6: They're an interesting team because they've had some interesting games.

238
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 6: They've won two games against Minnesota, who's won four, and

239
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 6: against the Raiders, who are two and three. They had

240
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 6: two losses, one of them to Miami, who is looking

241
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 6: really over the area, and they only lost by two points, right,

242
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 6: and then they lost that Tennessee that was an overtime game.

243
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 6: Tennessee is also two and three. So you don't really

244
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 6: know what to think of this team just yet. They

245
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 6: are coming off of bye and one other thing that's

246
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 6: gonna be really interesting to keep an eye on this

247
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 6: week is three of the best players missed the last game.

248
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 6: See what health looks like for them coming off the buyo.

249
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 6: You at Derwin James, their safety, Austin Ecle, their running back,

250
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 6: Joey Bosa, their pass rusher. So three very very good

251
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 6: players they didn't have the last game that after a bye,

252
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 6: maybe they get those guys back. It does complicate things

253
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 6: for them. Let's start first with going around the table

254
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 6: and let's get some storylines. What do you guys think

255
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 6: is the storyline heading into this week? What is the

256
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 6: biggest storyline for this game.

257
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 7: It's going to be for me, dan Quinn versus Kellen Moore.

258
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 7: This is a Cowboys defense that was allowing less than

259
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 7: ten and a half points per game through the first

260
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 7: four weeks and then forty two point explosion against the

261
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,359
Speaker 7: team that you really needed.

262
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 4: To send a message against.

263
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 7: So you talk about needing a bounce back in a

264
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 7: resilient game, and dan Quinn he's going to have his

265
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 7: guys ready. To question is are they going to be

266
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 7: ready when they get on that field and they're going

267
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 7: against the Kella Moore offense that's you know this, This

268
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 7: Chargers defense offense is average and almost twenty eight points

269
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 7: per game. So you know you talked about Mike I

270
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 7: said last week, something's gotta give. Well, defense gave last

271
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 7: week for the Cowboys back in the same equation, something's

272
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 7: got to give. It's either going to be this high

273
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 7: powered Justin Herbert and Kella Moore led offense to which

274
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 7: will likely have Austin Eckler back on the field, or

275
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 7: it's gonna be your world class defense that did not

276
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 7: perform last week. So for me, it's Dan Quinn versus

277
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 7: Kellen Moore. And then when you mix in the ton

278
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 7: of familiarity between those two coaches from Kellen Moore's time here, Yeah,

279
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 7: let's circle that for me.

280
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 8: Well, to me, I don't want to come out of

281
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 8: this game hearing the word humbling again. Do not say

282
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 8: you need to be humbled. That happened in Arizona, and

283
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 8: then it happened in San Francisco against the forty nine ers.

284
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 8: We heard and the there have been a lot of

285
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 8: comments and it's been talked on social media, a whole

286
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 8: lot of comments that players made after that loss against

287
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 8: the forty nine ers and people have an issue with

288
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 8: some of the words that came out.

289
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 4: Of there and shirts and yeah.

290
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah. So I'm just I want to see a

291
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 8: team that really fights, that goes out there. And the

292
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 8: thing is, we've seen it. They've had a history of

293
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 8: being able to come back after losses. They come back

294
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 8: and win and perform well. And that's the frustrating part

295
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 8: is that here we are what we were saying yesterday,

296
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 8: we don't really know what this team is. We don't

297
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 8: know the identity of this team just yet. And that's

298
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 8: something that was asked too to several players. They couldn't

299
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 8: even really answer it. Cedie Lamb, he had no answer

300
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 8: for that, but again he was pissed after that game.

301
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 8: But we don't know what we currently have with this

302
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 8: Cowboys team this year, So hopefully we can get some

303
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 8: clarity of some sorts. Hopefully things can kind of start

304
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 8: piecing themselves together before the Cowboys have their own bite

305
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 8: week and that buys them another week of gluing the pieces.

306
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 8: But I just we that's I don't know what to

307
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 8: call the specific headline for the storyline of this game,

308
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 8: but figure the figure it out. Just when figure it out,

309
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 8: put some heart out there and fight and let's see

310
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 8: if this thing starts coming in together. Because right now,

311
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 8: to me, I know, and I was telling you Patrick

312
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 8: before the show, I know, there's a lot of football

313
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 8: left to play. There's a lot so much and so

314
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 8: much can change, But to me, it just felt like

315
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 8: the season is over. It's not over at all. A

316
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 8: lot can change, but I need to see I need

317
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 8: to see progress.

318
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is week two of your five offensive linemen together,

319
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 2: and it wasn't a very good start to the five guys.

320
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: This week will be even more of a challenge. I

321
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: don't think Joey Bosa is gonna play this week. The

322
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 2: hamstring injury doesn't sound like it's going to allow him

323
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: to do that. But you still have to deal with

324
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: Khalil Mack And I think this is a team that

325
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: sacks the quarterback at the same rate that you sack

326
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: quarterbacks as well. So we all talk about the Cowboys

327
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: pass rush their ability to create pressure. This is another

328
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: one of those teams. It's not gonna blitz a whole

329
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 2: lot in the way they play. They're going to try

330
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 2: and get you with four man pressure. They have a

331
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: lot of guys that walk around and attack you in

332
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: different ways. They're going to test your blocking scheme for sure.

333
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 2: I think the storyline is this week, can those five

334
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: guys that we've all waited years, it seems like, to

335
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: be able to play together, can they pull things together,

336
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: bounce back and perform better than they did at San Francisco.

337
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: That's my big question this week.

338
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 6: All right, we're going to take our first break. When

339
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 6: we can come back, Brian's gonna start breaking this down

340
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 6: for us. Tell us a little bit about this charger

341
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 6: defense and that that's a menace that they call Khalil

342
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 6: Mack will.

343
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,120

345
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 9: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

346
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 9: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

347
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 9: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

348
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 9: But the good news is Todd has at and T

349

Speaker 9: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

350
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 9: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

351
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,840

Speaker 6: blockchain dot Com. All right, let's go, Brian, give us

403
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 6: your assessment of this Chargers defense.

404
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're coming off the bias you mentioned, Derek. They're

405
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 2: dealing with injuries throughout their defense. I mentioned Joey Bosa.

406
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 2: I think he's doubtful. He's got a hamstring and a

407
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 2: tow it's just not going the right way for him.

408
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: So I think you're going to catch a break right there.

409
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: They've also Derwin James has been dealing with a hamstring

410
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: as well, but they sound like he's gonna play. The

411
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 2: Chargers are more of a four to three front, but

412
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 2: they do play some three four there's a combination of

413
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 2: it there. But because they stand guys up around the line,

414
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 2: they show blitz and then they back out, So they're

415
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 2: gonna kind of test you. They're gonna test you with

416
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 2: their twists and their games that's big for them. They

417
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 2: like to move and uh, you make the linemen have

418
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 2: to adjust to them. They're gonna cost They're trying to

419
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 2: cause confusion with their looks. Their linebackers are key to

420
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 2: how this thing operates. I mentioned Bosen mac er list

421
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 2: as linebackers and they're outstanding. They're they're pressure players this unit,

422
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: Like I said, they've come up with sixteen sacks. Twelve

423
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: of those sacks were just off the results of just

424
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: no blitz. That's just them rushing the passer. So they're

425
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 2: kind of like you in that way. They're they're gonna

426
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 2: they're gonna get guys home and the secondary they're gonna

427
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 2: play a lot of man coverage. Uh, you know, right

428
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 2: around thirty percent of the well, I just say a lot.

429
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: They're gonna play man coverage about thirty percent of the

430
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 2: time zone or really the other seventy percent of the

431
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 2: time when you watch them, they like to play cover

432
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 2: two with those two safeties back in that zone. So

433
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 2: you know, there's opportunities for some wide open throws, not

434
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: as many tight window throws because of the zone. So

435
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 2: if somebody's gonna played in a lot of zone, the

436
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 2: Cowboys have had some pretty good success against teams that

437
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 2: have played more zone than man. Let's see if they

438
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 2: turn around after watching the forty nine ers play that

439
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 2: they play more man. I don't know if that's in there,

440
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: that's in their repertoire as much as their zone. They

441
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 2: love just to play the zone coverage and then try

442
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 2: and attack you with that front. I mentioned Bosa Mac.

443
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 2: They cause problems.

444
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 4: You know.

445
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 2: It's the thing with with with when you look at

446
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: Khalil Mack and we were talking about it while we

447
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 2: were off air here, it's there's so many different ways

448
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 2: that he can rush the passer and I'm and when

449
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 2: you watch him on tape, he covers so much ground

450
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: on his first step. So the alignment or the tap

451
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 2: are setting, but he's like on them because of just

452
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 2: how he just is able to launch himself off the

453
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 2: ball and then get onto the blocker and so he

454
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 2: just doesn't want the blocker to get his hands on him.

455
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: You know, that's his thing. He's going to is he stepping,

456
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: He's going to swat at you. He's gonna knock your

457
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: hands down. He's going to try and get to your corner.

458
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 2: And then he's trying to get around he'll take that

459
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 2: long step and then readirect back in the twist game.

460
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 2: And so that's a little bit of a problem, you

461
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 2: know when you're dealing. But he's always working up the field. Uh,

462
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's it's really impressive to watch him play.

463
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: You know, he's a veteran guy. Now they've they've done

464
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 2: a really good job since they've lost Bosa. Here twoy

465
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: tou tou a loup. I'm gonna say this right, tule

466
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 2: Tui Puloto is the the the guy who's playing opposite

467
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: Khalil Mack right now. He's a rookie out of usc

468
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 2: and this guy is a powerful player. When you watch

469
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 2: him play, he's really really good with his hands. He's

470
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: quick to get rid of blockers. He's another one of

471
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 2: those guys that really really attacks you. Does a really

472
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 2: good job of setting the edge and the running game.

473
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 2: But he could also come off the edge and a

474
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 2: pat in the pass us. He's a spin or just

475
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 2: flat bull rush. And we saw a little bit of

476
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 2: some problems with Terrence Steele when he had to deal

477
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 2: with a little bit of power. You're not gonna always

478
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 2: bull rush Tyrant Smith, but it seems you could bull

479
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 2: rush Terrence Steele a little bit more of the two,

480
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 2: so you have to be alert for that they're running

481
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: the run defense is when they play it. Their teams

482
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: have more success running the ball on the outside than

483
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: they do in the middle. Teams have averaging about five

484
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 2: yards of carry on the outside only three yards on

485
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 2: the inside. So Nick Williams, Austin Johnson, and rookie Scott Madlock,

486
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: they've done a pretty good job of kind of playing

487
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 2: inside and clogging things up. But it also goes back

488
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 2: to what their linebackers are playing. And I mentioned where

489
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 2: Mac and Bose are listed, but the inside guys are

490
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 2: Kenneth Murphy and Keith Eric Kendricks. Excuse me. These are

491
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 2: two veteran guys that are powerful guys that play down hill.

492
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 2: There's some violence to their game, especially Murray, and he's

493
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 2: a really good job. When you watch him changing directions,

494
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 2: you know, he finds himself out of position and all

495
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 2: of a sudden he rallies back because of his speed

496
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 2: when he sees the ball. He does a great job

497
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 2: of getting there finished in the place.

498
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah he was, Yeah, he really is.

499
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 2: His past coverage is not is good, but everything in

500
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 2: the running game with him is like it's a physical

501
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: downhill player. As I mentioned there, uh there, they have

502
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: another a guy named a young guy named Nick Newman

503
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 2: Nieman excuse me, Nick Neeman, who is the other linebacker.

504
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 2: And he's more of the guy that will walk up

505
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 2: and then drop or walk up blitz. Uh. He's you know,

506
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 2: you got to kind of catch, you know, kind of

507
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 2: keep an eye on him. He's smart, he's tough, he's

508
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 2: got really good instinct. He's relentless to the ball, and

509
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: he's really good in the anticipations, the react plays, the

510
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 2: coverage plays, and stuff like that. So keep an eye

511
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: on those linebackers, especially Murray. In the secondary, I mentioned

512
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 2: Derwin James, He's really kind of the glue of that secondary.

513
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 2: He's a gifted athlete. He's versatile. You can line him

514
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 2: up anywhere at the safeties. You play him up, you

515
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 2: play him back, you play him deep. It really doesn't matter.

516
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 2: He's a fluid moving guy. There's no problem with him

517
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 2: dealing with They put him in coverage with backs, tight ends,

518
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 2: that's not an issue with him. He fits well defending

519
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 2: the run. You'll see Number three come flying down hill

520
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 2: and he's a really good tackler. He could be disruptive.

521
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: He can make plays behind the line of scrimmage when

522
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 2: he gets up there. So you got to be aware

523
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 2: when three's hanging around, try and get a hat on him,

524
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: because if you spill the ball one way, you know

525
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: they've had some trouble on the outside. But you know

526
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: they're gonna try and I have a feeling they're going

527
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 2: to try and run him more into position and make

528
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: some of those outside plays that they can. I think

529
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 2: is Sante Samuel is their best corner on the squad.

530
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 2: He's not the biggest guy, but he's not afraid either.

531
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 2: You'll see him line up on both sides. I didn't

532
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 2: see a lot of traveling. I just saw they play

533
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 2: right and left. Some days they're on the right, or

534
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 2: sometimes they're on the right, sometimes they're on the left.

535
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 2: I didn't really see him traveling with you know, like

536
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 2: they had a chance to travel with Adams with the Raiders,

537
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: and you know he was matched up a little with Adams,

538
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 2: but it was more about just Adams was on that

539
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 2: side of the field and that's how they kind of

540
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: dealt with it. Though, So a scheme requires him to

541
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 2: play a lot of off coverage, but man, he could

542
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 2: play man if he had to. Again, if the coaching

543
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,479
Speaker 2: staff decides Dallas can't get off the press, we need

544
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 2: to press these guys, we need to attack them at

545
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 2: the line, then he's got the capability of doing that.

546
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 2: The guy on the other side is Michael Davis. He's

547
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 2: a lot longer, a lot taller, but I don't think

548
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 2: he's as good and that the build. I think his long,

549
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 2: rangy build hurts him in his ability to move, especially

550
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 2: in zone when they run up on him and he

551
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 2: has to turn and then go. There's just not that

552
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 2: burst that quickness. I mean, he's kind of a little

553
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 2: bit of a stiff moving player that way. So maybe

554
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 2: they'll again walk these guys up. But I think that

555
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 2: if there was a guy to kind of go after

556
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: in this game, Davis would be the guy because I

557
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 2: look at Samuel. He's a ballhawker and and you know,

558
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 2: when you throw the ball at stretch, you gotta be careful.

559
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: He'll undercut routes, he'll jump routes, he will you know,

560
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 2: down the field. He might be a short guy, but

561
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 2: he does a good job of playing you and putting

562
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 2: himself in position to make plays that well, so the

563
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 2: nickel is j Sir Taylor. He's a little bit of

564
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: like Samuel. He's a smaller guy. There's a quickness to

565
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 2: his game, willingness to come forward and tackle us. So

566
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 2: of the primary of the three corners that are going

567
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 2: to play in this game, the one I would go

568
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 2: after is Michael Davis. That's the guy that lacks the

569
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 2: top end speed and the quickness that maybe the Cowboys

570
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: could take advantage of a little bit.

571
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 6: Let's talk a little bit about Khalil Mack. Obviously we

572
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 6: know how good he is, but if you look back

573
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 6: at his season so far, he had all the sacks

574
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,479
Speaker 6: in one game, six sacks came against the Raiders. There

575
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 6: were three other games where he had zero r What

576
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 6: did the other teams do? How did they keep him?

577
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 2: The Raiders don't have a very good tackle group. That's

578
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 2: their problem. I think the Raiders. Yeah, I think the

579
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 2: Raiders with you know, with Colton Miller and guys like that,

580
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 2: they're just not very good and I think they've struggled

581
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: with that for a long time. The Raiders got in

582
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 2: a situation too, where they had a rookie quarterback. We're

583
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 2: playing in that game, so you know sometimes when you

584
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 2: get in a situation, these tackles are not used to

585
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 2: where quarterbacks are going to set. But they did do

586
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 2: a very good job of handling. The thing about the

587
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: Chargers pass rush is all that movement up front, you know.

588
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 2: I mean, they get guys home on the rush, But

589
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: like I say, Mac to me, once they find somebody

590
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 2: that they can deal with or somebody they can attack,

591
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 2: they're just going to do that. I didn't think the

592
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 2: Raider the Raider tackles were good at all, and as

593
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, the Raider offensive line as a whole,

594
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 2: I didn't think we're very good in this game with

595
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 2: the pressure they gave up. Minnesota had problems with these

596
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 2: guys too with the pass rush as well.

597
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 6: We saw last week that Terrence Steele, particularly on the

598
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 6: right side, had some issues trying to stop Nick Bosa.

599
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 6: How do you compare Bosa's game to Tokli Mac's game?

600
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 3: Is it is it a similar type rush style or

601
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 3: is it very very different and that may help or hurt?

602
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, steal both both guys are. I think both

603
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 2: guys are power players. Like I say, if Bosa I

604
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 2: said last week, if Bosa reads you setting soft he'll

605
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 2: just take you straight to the quarterback. He'll lower his head.

606
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: I think Mac is a more of a physical I

607
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 2: mean physical when is how big he is and his

608
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 2: ability to just play with power that way. I Bosa

609
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 2: to me is more of a slippery player, where Mac

610
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 2: is a guy like I said, that first step he

611
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: gets on you, so now he's now he's on you,

612
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: and now he's swatting hands. The really good pass rushers

613
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: have that ability to kind of break down blockers that way,

614
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 2: And with Mac, I think he does it with more power.

615
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 2: I think Bosa does it with more slipperiness, more that

616
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 2: of trying to like dip underneath. But it's not to

617
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 2: say both those guys can lower their heads and take

618
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 2: it to the quarterback if you set soft on them.

619
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 7: I think the Cowboys, especially being that this is the

620
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 7: second game that they'll have their full five, I think

621
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 7: you will see a little bit more chemistry there. And

622
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 7: this is a Chargers team that you know, while Khalil

623
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 7: Mack cannot be underestimated and yeah, see what you're saying.

624
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 7: The Raiders let him tee off to the tune of

625
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 7: six sacs. But he was zero zero zero before then

626
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 7: all of that's true, and no one is positioning it.

627
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 7: As you know, don't worry about Khalil Mack, worry about

628
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 7: Khalil Ax. But the fact, the fact is the fact.

629
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 7: One is what you said. Another is that the Chargers

630
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 7: defensive front, they only get pressure on the quarterback around

631
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 7: thirty five percent of the time. If you want to

632
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 7: compare that against against what the Cowboys do, the Cowboys

633
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 7: get pressure forty five percent of the time. It's so

634
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 7: it's not that the Chargers are insanely good at getting

635
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 7: pressure and getting into the defensive offensive backfield. I should

636
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 7: say it's they've been efficient with it. So they have

637
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 7: sixteen sacks, and you can extrapolate and say, well, six

638
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 7: of those belong against the Raiders, and that's completely fair

639
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 7: and much the same way you could say, well, the

640
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 7: Cowboys defensive stats got wildly skewed by what happened in

641
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 7: San Francisco. The fact is it happened, though, right, So

642
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 7: if it happened, it happened. So the Cowboys offensive front,

643
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 7: I don't think they'll have as hard of a time

644
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 7: as they had against San Francisco's front, simply because, and

645
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 7: particularly if Joey bos is not on the field. But

646
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 7: even if Boso it was on the field, you're not

647
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 7: looking at a team that gets into your backfield a ton.

648
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 4: It's just when they get.

649
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 7: Back there, they tend to get home far more often

650
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 7: than the Cowboys would in that same capacity, Because the

651
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 7: Cowboys have fifteen sacks on forty five percent QB pressures

652
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 7: sixteen sacks on thirty five percent. So you see what

653
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 7: I mean. If the Cowboys got more efficient and got

654
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 7: home more often when they get into the opposing backfield,

655
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 7: then they would just be unbeatable. But kudos to the Chargers.

656
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 7: They can get back there. But it's not a situation

657
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 7: where Cowboys can't handle it.

658
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 4: Like I don't.

659
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 7: Look, I don't go into this game feeling that the

660
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 7: Cowboys can't handle Khalil Mack and company. I feel like

661
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 7: they can. They just need to make sure that when

662
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 7: he's back there. Goes back to what we were talking about.

663
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 7: Is Dak Prescott going to be more decisive and saying, Hey,

664
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 7: this play is broken down, let me use my legs

665
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 7: to try to keep this alive, keep this drive alive.

666
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 8: Well that's the question. We haven't seen that yet, And

667
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 8: one of that's best qualities is the fact that he's

668
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 8: So what's where I'm looking for mental like.

669
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 3: His ability to stay mentally tough.

670
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 8: Mentally tough and he can stay in and like it

671
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 8: doesn't really affect them. We've seen games in the past

672
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 8: that it has. But yeah, but my thing is, how

673
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 8: is last week's game going to affect him and the

674
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 8: way they play, like as far as whether good or bad, Like,

675
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 8: are they going to try to be more let him

676
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 8: be more free and run with the ball? Is he

677
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 8: going to take those changes chances with throwing the ball

678
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 8: given the fact that now in that game, was it

679
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 8: three interceptions that you got against the forty nine ers

680
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 8: and yeah, and you can are You're like, you know,

681
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 8: at that point you have.

682
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 7: To take put the Cowboys in the same position the

683
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,959
Speaker 7: Cowboys put other teams in and said, now you have

684
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 7: to throw the ball, and when you do, we're going.

685
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,959
Speaker 8: That creates a chance for sure. But it's just like

686
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 8: where is the mentally is he adding the mental part

687
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 8: of like he's gonna go out there and ball out

688
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 8: and like have one of those games or is he

689
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 8: in that mental area where it's going to do the opposite.

690
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 8: And now you're just kind of questioning because the whole thing.

691
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 8: I don't know the whole thing with like some of

692
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:47,479
Speaker 8: the vibes I've been getting with the play calling and

693
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 8: people being a little disgrown tool. It's like, I don't

694
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 8: know if that's about to become an issue or if

695
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 8: it's just what happens. You're upset the game went the

696
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 8: wrong way you expected to go that way, and everybody's pissed,

697
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 8: and you're just now speaking words because out of the

698
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 8: emotions you're going through. But I don't have a clear

699
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 8: understanding of the current situation of where they're at right

700
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 8: now as far as like, are they bought in to

701
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 8: this new offense style, the what Mike McCarthy is implemented here.

702
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 6: I mean, there have to be questions, I would think

703
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 6: for every player on that offense. You look at the

704
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 6: offense this year, and you look at the offense last year,

705
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 6: which I'm sure in their minds they're at least doing,

706
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 6: and they're saying last year seemed like we were moving

707
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 6: the ball a little bit easier. It seems like we

708
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 6: were getting more things to work offensively. So yeah, there

709
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 6: have to be questions. Now, I don't know that that

710
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 6: means that they've necessarily like he's lost the offense, and

711
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 6: now they won't they you know, they want to go

712
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 6: back to all but.

713
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 3: They certainly have to have some questions.

714
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 6: It would be natural for them to have questions at

715
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 6: this point about what's happening and whether they think it's

716
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 6: moving in the right direction or not. And certainly, you know,

717
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 6: whatever level of frustration, I think that's all part of Also,

718
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 6: when you lose a like you lost the other night,

719
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 6: there's gonna be a lot of frustration, and you're gonna

720
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 6: point to a lot of different things as players, and

721
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 6: you've probably done some of that's probably gonna be like

722
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 6: I want the ball. I think what we saw from

723
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 6: CD was I can help us win. I'm not getting

724
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 6: the opportunity to help us win. Makes me frustrated, right,

725
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 6: And we heard from McCarthy, we heard Jerry on the

726
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 6: on the fan earlier in the week.

727
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 3: They both said the same thing, like, that's what we

728
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 3: expect from him.

729
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 6: He is a he's that type of player where he

730
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 6: wants to be a part of the solution, and that's

731
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 6: the frustration. So I think that's just the natural part

732
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 6: of the offense not functioning as everyone expected it should.

733
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 3: All Right, We're gonna take our first break and we

734
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 3: come back.

735
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 6: We'll get into a little bit more on the Cowboys

736
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 6: offense then when we come back.

Speaker 4: Welcome back.

791
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 6: We were in the final segment of the break. We're

792
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 6: talking Cowboys versus Chargers. I want to talk a little

793
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 6: bit about the offensive line. This last game, the Cowboys

794
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 6: offensive line gave up four sacks, nine quarterback hits. On

795
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 6: the ground, they only were allowed only able to rush

796
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 6: nineteen times for fifty seven yards. Although I don't I

797
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 6: think the numbers are a little misleading. There was a

798
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 6: decent running game in that last game, But how did

799
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 6: you guys think the offensive line for the first time

800
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 6: of having them all together performed as a unit, and

801
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 6: what can they build on?

802
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 3: I guess going into this week against.

803
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 7: The Chargers, I just felt it was a little bit disjointed,

804
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 7: which makes sense when you consider that when was the

805
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 7: last time the Cowboys had their whole front five, So

806
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 7: it makes sense that they're going to need more actual

807
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,479
Speaker 7: game reps. And Tyler Smith before the game, he talked

808
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 7: about how it feels good to get the rollover the

809
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 7: training camp reps over to the regular season, and that's

810
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 7: wonderful in theory, but when your first read season game

811
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,919
Speaker 7: is also against the San Francisco forty nine ers front,

812
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 7: it's kind of like, good luck with that. So I

813
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 7: don't They didn't fare poorly, but it was a lot

814
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 7: of disjointed play as they tried to figure out each

815
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 7: other's time, and particularly on the left side, as Tyler

816
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 7: and Tyron try to get together because they've not played

817
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 7: in that rotation at all. Obviously, Tyler Smith this is

818
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 7: only his second year. Last year Tyrone's injury, then he

819
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 7: was on the right tackle and all of that, and

820
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 7: then Terrence Steele. He struggled. We talked about it. He

821
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 7: struggled to contain on the right side. So I expect

822
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 7: a better performance against Los Angeles second game back for

823
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 7: this particular set up front. And also it's a Joey

824
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 7: Bosa list team possibly likely, but even if Bosa is

825
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 7: on the team, I mean, we've seen Terrence Steele farewell

826
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 7: against Joey Bosa, albeit with some chip help and things

827
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 7: like that. But I mean Terrence Steele's first start we

828
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 7: talked about a couple times in Los Angeles.

829
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 4: He helped negate Joey Bosa. So it can be done.

830
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 7: Let's see what this front does with another game under

831
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 7: its belt, because it just wasn't great. And I mean

832
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 7: saw and it's rare that you will say this, but

833
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 7: I even saw Zach Martin get beat a couple of times.

834
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 7: I mean, that forty nine defensive front. They just had

835
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 7: their way. I don't expect that you're going to continue

836
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 7: to see Zach Martin get beaten on a week to

837
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 7: week basis. So I think it'll be a better outing

838
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 7: this time.

839
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 8: That's what I was gonna say. Like to me, it

840
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 8: was really weird coming out of that loss and seeing

841
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 8: how they performed, because yes, we can talk about they

842
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 8: haven't played all five together in a long time, and

843
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 8: you do want to have that continuity and know the

844
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,919
Speaker 8: timing of everybody and what everybody is doing. But we've

845
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 8: seen each individual play or play and we know what

846
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 8: they can do. So what was odd to me is

847
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 8: that there were so many occasions where people were getting

848
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 8: beat one on one. You mentioned Zach Martin, Terren Steele.

849
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 8: We saw that continuously too, and different guys, like everybody

850
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 8: was beat at a certain time. So that was the

851
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 8: odd part because yes, you can talk about continuity, I

852
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 8: can't say that way, but at the same time, individual

853
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 8: we know what that player is and what can do

854
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 8: and what has done in the past. So how are

855
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 8: they constantly because everybody at one point or another, just

856
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 8: like they just didn't look like themselves individually.

857
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 4: I think not.

858
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 7: I think this is a fact when it comes to

859
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 7: the offensive line, and you make a great point. Individually,

860
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 7: each one of these guys can play at an elite level.

861
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 7: We've seen it consistently. That's fine, but when you put

862
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 7: them all in this particular combination, there's also timing in

863
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 7: chemistry and there's a bit of telepathy that has to

864
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 7: happen between you and the guy next to you to

865
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 7: the point where, and it's only established by reps in

866
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 7: actual game reps, to the point where if you feel

867
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 7: like you know this guy is coming this way, I'm

868
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 7: going to block this and hand this off because this

869
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 7: guy is gonna take this for me because I have

870
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 7: another blitzer here. If you do that and this guy

871
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 7: doesn't know that you're going to do that, then that

872
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 7: guy might end up coming free. And then now this

873
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 7: guy comes free, and now that pressure is allowed by

874
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:54,919
Speaker 7: you and or him.

875
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,760
Speaker 4: So there's a whole it has to move as a unit.

876
00:40:57,960 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 7: And that's one thing that Zach Martin talks a lot

877
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 7: about when he talks about combo blocking with Terrence Steele

878
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 7: and how the page that they operate on that at

879
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 7: the moment is lacking between Tyler and Tyrone because they

880
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 7: don't have the same number of reps, so there's not

881
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 7: the telepathy that exists between Terrence Steele and Zach Martin

882
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 7: and Zach Martin and Tyler Baddish does not quite exist

883
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 7: to that level between Tyler Smith and Tyler Baddish, and

884
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 7: not at all between Tyler Smith and Tyron Smith because

885
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 7: they simply don't have the reps together. So individually you

886
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 7: can be stellar, but when you have to operate as

887
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 7: a unit, as the offensive line has to, there has

888
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 7: to be some type of telepathy between each player to say, hey,

889
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 7: I know what your timing is, I know what your

890
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 7: movement is, I know what your weakness is, and I

891
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 7: know how to mask that.

892
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 4: And you know what mine is and you know how

893
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 4: to mask that.

894
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 7: So that only comes with reps, though, and the more

895
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 7: reps they have, and that's why it's key that this

896
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 7: unit remain healthy, because the more reps they have, the

897
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 7: better chances they're going to have of being that formidable

898
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 7: force in front of deck later in the season when

899
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 7: they really have to happen.

900
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 8: But the other part is we've seen it, and I

901
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 8: absolutely get your point and totally agree with it. But

902
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,919
Speaker 8: where it's weird and odd to me, it's like we've

903
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 8: seen the backups go in and they be okay and manageable.

904
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 8: So you we've seen it constantly with this line having

905
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 8: completely different components, different guys that have to go in

906
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 8: less inexperience, let's experience guys go in and be okay,

907
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 8: be okay, like handle it, so that That's where I'm

908
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 8: going with the whole like, it's odd that they performed

909
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 8: that way because everybody has had their time healthy and

910
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 8: in there. They have the experience at a certain sorry,

911
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 8: at a certain level, and we've seen it when backups

912
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 8: go in and it's not and we've talked about it

913
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 8: the earlier weeks when a few of those backups went in,

914
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 8: Oh my god, I'm blaking and sho my doga Arizona

915
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 8: all of those going in, and that wasn't the reason

916
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,399
Speaker 8: why they lost the game. They were still being able

917
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 8: to set, would run the football and everything, which.

918
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 7: I believe is more of a credit to those young

919
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 7: guys stepping up and stepping stepping in and stepping up

920
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 7: than it is to discount the point that chemistry across

921
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 7: the line matter. So, for example, Arizona, Hoffman and TJ.

922
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 7: Bass those are two backups, and they were playing right

923
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 7: next to each other. Well, guess what they're doing in

924
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 7: practice every day playing right next to each other getting

925
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 7: second team reps. So there was already at least some

926
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 7: type of chemistry between Hoffmann as a backup center and TJ.

927
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 7: Basz coming in as a guard. So the chemistry definitely

928
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 7: is there. But when you have when you have to

929
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 7: move pieces around and it doesn't fall apart, that's.

930
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 4: A credit to two entities.

931
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 7: One those players that have come in and stepped up,

932
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 7: but also the offensive line coach and his ability to

933
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 7: put guys in the right places and when they need

934
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 7: to be putt.

935
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 2: You're right, Ambar. Individually, they were bad. They were bad

936
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 2: individually that Terrence Still individually was not good in that game.

937
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 2: Uh be Ottish wasn't good in that game for you know,

938
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 2: it's a couple of times he struggled. Tyler Smith individually

939
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: was not very good in that game. A lot I

940
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 2: could do with that. That individually that when you have breakdowns,

941
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 2: it's you just you're not good enough on that particular play.

942
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 2: And I think that happened more times than not in

943
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 2: that football game, that where they where they were able to,

944
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 2: uh you know, when it came down to, Okay, hey

945
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 2: we have to win this block at the point of attack,

946
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 2: they weren't winning that block, or hey we have to

947
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 2: be able to you know, we're gonna throw this three

948
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 2: step drop here, We're going to run a slant or whatever.

949
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 2: And they weren't individually good enough. I think that was

950
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 2: a huge problem in this game.

951
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree with you, Brian, because typically what I

952
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 6: what I look at is like, are they are they

953
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 6: beating them with a lot of finesse? Are they beating

954
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 6: them with twists? And they're beating them with stunts like?

955
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 6: That wasn't what I was seeing a lot of times.

956
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 6: That was one time when I saw I think it

957
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 6: was hard grading, but it was one of the defensive tackles. Literally, Yeah,

958
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 6: there were two offensive linemen blocks split them.

959
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 3: He split them and went and made the tackle in

960
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 3: the backfield.

961
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 6: Right, That ain't about anything other than like that is

962
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 6: not about miscommunication. That to me is about the fact

963
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 6: that you just got beat. And that's why I think

964
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 6: in some regards we're kind of burying the lead on

965
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 6: this on this part of the conversation, which is that

966
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 6: defensive front.

967
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:10,399
Speaker 3: I think on that day was just better. I don't

968
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 3: know that it was so much about You're right.

969
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 6: I do think chemistry matters, and I think it matters

970
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 6: a ton for an offensive line, But the fact matter

971
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 6: is on that day, I think the problem was way

972
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 6: more they just got out.

973
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 4: I think the problem was everything.

974
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 7: The problem was that this was the first time this

975
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 7: five man Combo has seen the field for the Cowboys.

976
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 7: In addition to look who they're going up against, arguably

977
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 7: probably not arguably anymore the best defensive front, and that

978
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 7: best defensive front could not have been firing on all

979
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 7: cylinders any better than they were on Sunday.

980
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 4: So all things that could have gone wrong went wrong.

981
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,240
Speaker 7: I mean, the chemistry wasn't there for the Cowboys offensive

982
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 7: line because they haven't played this front as this front.

983
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 7: Then you look at who they were playing, then you

984
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 7: look at the caliber or the level at which they

985
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 7: were playing. I mean, yeah, the chemistry wasn't there. Individuals

986
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 7: got beat, then they got demoralized, and then it just

987
00:45:59,400 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 7: got worse.

988
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,760
Speaker 2: They were better equipped to handle forty nine ers offense,

989
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 2: excuse me, their defensive line. They physically got beat up front.

990
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 2: That was a big, big issue in that football game.

991
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 2: You were better at guard to handle those defensive tackles.

992
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 2: You really didn't handle it all that well. That was

993
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 2: a problem.

994
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 3: All right, We appreciate you, guys, Jones. That's a rap

995
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 3: for us. We'll be back tomorrow.

996
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 6: We'll dive into the Cowboys defense versus his Chargers offense.

997
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 6: That will be a challenge and that will be a

998
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 6: fun matchup to watch until tomorrow for Patrick Walker. Brian

999
