9
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: We're live the s WBC Mortgage studios at the Star

10
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: and we've got a few things we're gonna hit today.

11
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk a little Pro Bowl. Count boys get

12
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: their their guys in, a few of their guys in.

13
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: We'll talk about some guys that maybe should have gotten

14
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: in and see how you guys feel about that. We'll

15
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: also get into some storylines for the game. Nick has

16
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: this weekly article where he tells us what the prevailing

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: storylines will be Cowboys versus Eagles, and then Dave gives

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: us his breakdown of the Eagles offense. Tomorrow we will

19
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: do the defense. So let's start first with the Pro

20
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: Bowl selections. Cowboys have four players name to the Pro Bowl,

21
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith, Travis Frederick, Zach Martin, Zeke Elliott. Are there

22
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: any guys that you think should have been on that

23
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: list that we're not? Nope? Well, should we talk about

24
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: the injuries first? I'm gonna say this is a rare

25
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: case where I think the injury probably should lead the show.

26
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes I don't. You don't think it's notable that the

27
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: quarterback heard his shoulder play to it? Right, You could

28
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: argue he didn't look awesome for chunks of that game.

29
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: All right, Sure, Dak's limited, he heard his shoulder. Clay

30
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: Matthews landed on him on Sunday. He played through it.

31
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna play Sunday. But ush's out there practice. The

32
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: injury is bad enough that he's not throwing in practice,

33
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: and Jason Garrett said it's hard for him to function.

34
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: So I think, I mean, it's not worthy. He's gonna play,

35
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: but he's gonna play. It's still notworthy. I think that

36
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: becomes a part of the analysis of the game when

37
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: we start talking about this Eagles defense versus deck On

38
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: offense and how that plays out. Because he's playing absolute doubt,

39
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: he's definitely gonna play, but if it hinders his effectiveness,

40
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: I think that's noteworthy. Well do you think it hindered

41
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: his effectiveness last week? I don't know. I did have

42
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: to go back and watch from the play where he

43
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: hurt his shoulder and really analyze it. I just know

44
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: that he looked off on Sunday, like he didn't look

45
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: his most accurate. Garrett said. It was pretty early on

46
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: in the game, first or second quarter. Like I said,

47
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I this, We've learned this fifteen minutes ago,

48
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: so I've had a chance. But I don't think he

49
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: looked that great. And I'm sure that's part of it.

50
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: He's also you know, add that to the list with

51
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: the finger and the wrist, and yeah, I mean it

52
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: sounds like something that could hinder him pretty severely. Luckily

53
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: this is not a great Eagles secondary, but still, yeah,

54
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: is there another injury? Tyrn Smith also, it was not practicing.

55
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: He's got a sty on his eye that'll probably you know,

56
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: subside over the next few days, but he won't be

57
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: practicing today. We'll see a pretty big sty. He can't

58
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: open his eye according to the chasing Garrett. Oh yeah, okay,

59
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: so just yeah really has small eyes, does he? I

60
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: think so. Yeah, I never noticed. I think so so.

61
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: I mean I never small eyes, So if I have

62
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: one completely shut, that's a big problem because then I

63
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: can really barely see from the other one. He's such

64
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: a big dude, you never think like small eyes. But yeah,

65
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: I'll have to look at him next time. I think

66
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: they'll both be fine for Sunday. But it's I don't

67
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: know if you want to call it troubling or at

68
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: least noteworthy to start the week with. Yeah, that's where're

69
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on, and we'll see how

70
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: it goes. But I don't think obviously there's no I

71
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: shouldn't say no chance, but the likelihood that they don't

72
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: play Sunday is relatively small. Yeah, yeah, all right, Um,

73
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: so let's talk about Pro Bowls. Well, there any guys

74
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: that you thought should nick Now, there are any guys

75
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: that are not on the list that should be on

76
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: the list in your opinion that play for the Cowboys.

77
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: Lyle Collins. I think Lyle Collins has been great this year,

78
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: and I think, I mean, I get it. At some

79
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: point you gotta draw the line. It's a it's an

80
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: all star game, but I think it's silly. Three tackles

81
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: get put on the team and they're all left tackles. Meanwhile, guy,

82
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's not just Lyle Collins. Lyle has

83
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: been great, Lane Johnson is one of the best right

84
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: tackles in the league. Ryan Ramchick has been killing it

85
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: in New Orleans, and they just don't get any recognition

86
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: because they don't play the big visibility tackle spot. I

87
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: think that's stupid. I think I would change it to

88
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: be two left tackles and two right tackles. And I

89
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: certainly think Lyle has a case to be you know,

90
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the two or three best

91
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: right tackles in the NFC at least, but based on

92
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: how they do it, we'll only have three tackles. If

93
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna make it, one of these guys, David baktr

94
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: Tyren Smith of Terren Arms Armstead has to come off.

95
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: Are you saying that he should be on over one

96
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: of those three guys. No, That's my point is I

97
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: think that's dumb. Like it's like you got three spots

98
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: for quarterback, but they're all starters, but you still get three,

99
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So by that logic, there

100
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: should be like five tackles shouldn't there. You have three

101
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: times as many as players as you have starters, is

102
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: what you're saying exactly, And so you should have six

103
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: like in this instance, like there's three quarterbacks and they

104
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: all play in the game. So if there's enough tackles

105
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: to cycle amented out of the game, you should have

106
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: five or six. And Lyle Collins should absolutely be one

107
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: of those. And right tackles should be represented on the roster,

108
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: and it's not, and it sucks, and that's why you

109
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: got snubbed pound for pound. And I think Tyron has

110
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: had a good season. He's still a lot better than

111
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: you want to get credit for. You're just spoiled by

112
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: the expectations. But pound for pound, week for week, Lyle

113
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: has been better than Tyron, I think this season. Yep.

114
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: And that's the tough part about offensive lineman. Nick, you

115
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: were making the point, I'll let you make the point

116
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: before you went on the air about offensive lineman and

117
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: how tough it is for guys to get onto that

118
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl roster and how easy it easy, how much

119
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: easier it is for a guy that's been on that

120
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,799
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl roster to stay on the Pro Bowl roster

121
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: because offensive. Labman, Well, I mean we didn't. I mean,

122
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: can you name another center in the league other than Kelsey?

123
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: There's not a lot. I mean Mac yeah, but I

124
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: mean yeah yeah. And he's like and you could say, well,

125
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: players know each other. Well, I mean, it doesn't sound

126
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: like the receivers know who the kicker is for the Cowboys.

127
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: They don't know his name, So I don't know if

128
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: they know people's names, you know. So I so, you know,

129
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: Nick's referring to a video that we put up. Where

130
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: is that that was? That wasn't sounds that was pretty sure.

131
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: I was about to say, didn't, Yeah, because what's his name? Ka? Kai?

132
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: I thought was kay? It was like Randall says, if

133
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: he makes more kicks, I went to name my kid

134
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: that Kai? And what the hell's that? That was fantastic? So,

135
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean and I get and I get it, he

136
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: just got here, but that doesn't mean that you know

137
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: the center and the other team and all that, and

138
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: you just look at him like Frederick yeah, Martin. Yeah.

139
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: So all that being said, I'm sure it happens on

140
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: the on the other side too, And I just I

141
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: just don't believe that Dak Prescott this isn't the year

142
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,559
Speaker 1: that you're going to take away the Hall of Fame

143
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that are having great seasons. I mean their team

144
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: is really good, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, and Russell Wilson.

145
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: Who does Dak in his seven seven record? Replace if

146
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: you want to say Drew Brees, he's got six wins

147
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: in nine games, He's got six wins, So I mean

148
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: Dak got seven in fourteen, you know, and their intercept

149
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: their touchdowns are pretty close too. So I just I

150
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: think Drew Brees, I think. I don't think quarterback was

151
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: a snub there at all. I really don't. I completely

152
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: agree on I mean, if Dak was on there, I

153
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't be mad about it. No, I'm deserved. But it's

154
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: just in this year, there's just too many. If you're

155
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: working yourself into a frenzy that Dak should be on there,

156
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,239
Speaker 1: I just I don't see it. There's seven and seven

157
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: and it's obviously way. I mean, there's more to it.

158
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: Quarterback wins are not just a quarterback stat. But if

159
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: you're so good that you should like you got snubbed

160
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: for the Pro Bowl, then you mean you should be

161
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: able to lift your team to a little bit better

162
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: performance than that, right, Yeah, And if you're going to

163
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: make the argument just based upon the stats he belongs there,

164
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: then you got to also throw in Jameis Winston because

165
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston's right up there, maybe ahead of him in yards.

166
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't know about touchdowns, I'm not certain. I know

167
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: he has a ton more interceptions. But the point is,

168
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: if you're just going by stats, there are still other

169
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: guys that get into the picture. And I don't think

170
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: that if you just look at stats, that's necessarily a

171
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: good indication for the quarterback position because there are other

172
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: things that are factored in for quarterbacks. And what's Aaron Rodgers' stats?

173
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: Because I saw twenty one touchdowns and two interceptions, that

174
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: seems pretty good, pretty good. Yeah, But they haven't been

175
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: throwing as much as they have in previous years. And

176
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: by the way they're winning that they're winning, So that

177
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: means that whatever their formula is, he's doing what it

178
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: takes from the quarterback position to run that kind of

179
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: scheme and be able to move the ball and be effective.

180
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: You know. And I think the heart of the voting

181
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: took place in the last three weeks or you know,

182
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: the last month or so, you know, don't don't three

183
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: in a row in national TV, because I guarantee you're like,

184
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: all right, let's look at this cowboy team. They're playing

185
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: the Patriots today. Well they didn't score touchdown. Okay, Well

186
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: then Thanksgiving Day they played that the Bills, Well, throw

187
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: one touchdown, and he threw another one late in the

188
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: game when it's probably turned off. And then against the Bears,

189
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: his touchdown pass was probably not even seen by most

190
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: people because it was way late in the game too,

191
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: And that that was one where a lot of stats

192
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: seem kind of hollow in that game. So that's absolutely

193
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: and you can make the same argument for Mark Cooper.

194
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: I think Cooper Cooper's got a good case to be there,

195
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: but none of them, I'm not. You can't get mad

196
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: at all. The guys that made it over him have

197
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: good cases too. They got better numbers. People people have

198
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: kind of there's been some backlash. Like you go back

199
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: to like Detroit and the Giants game at the start

200
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: of November, You're like, DA's got a case to build

201
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: his resume. You know, he's gonna be on national TV

202
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: four times, He's gonna play on Thanksgiving. He's gonna do this.

203
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: He's gonna do that, and it didn't happen, and people

204
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: kind of came back like, well, you feel stupid, don't

205
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: you know? I was like no. All I said was

206
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: he would have the opportunity to build that case, and

207
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: he didn't do it, And that's probably why he's not

208
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: in the Pro Bowl either. If they had played better

209
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: in that stretch, he'd have everything he could possibly want. Yeah,

210
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: speaking about Amari Cooper, all four of the guys that

211
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: made it had more yards than him, All but one

212
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: had more touchdowns. That was Julio. Julio only has six

213
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: where Mari has eight. But you got Julio Jones, Michael Thomas,

214
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, Chris Godwin all have had really really great

215
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: years and statistically better than Amari Cooper. So it's hard

216
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: to make the argument that he that he should have

217
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: been in over any of those guys. Were you guys

218
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: at all shocked that only four guys got in? Though

219
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: I know we went through this the other day. I

220
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: think we had way more than that that we thought

221
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: could get in. I was pretty placed with the list,

222
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: you know, And I still think that there could always

223
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: be the possibility that some of these guys make it

224
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: into as we go on, but the one that definitely

225
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: shocked me and I don't know why, well, I do

226
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: know why, Travis Frederick. It's it's amazing to see that

227
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: he made it into the Pro Bowl. I remember earlier

228
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: in the season, Nick was even talking about, oh, well,

229
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: is Joe Looney maybe better because we plug Joe Looney

230
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: in there with some of the issues that they were

231
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: having earlier on. No, but it's really great to see

232
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: where he was at last year and he'm barely even

233
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: able to walk, losing so much weight, so much muscle weight,

234
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: and him making the Pro Bowl this year. That was

235
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: impressive when you think about you know, you've been in

236
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 1: the locker room and last late last year and him

237
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: kind of walking the way he was he was walking

238
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: in and you're like, he's not He's not gonna play

239
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: next year, He's not gonna play anymore. I mean, I

240
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: don't know if you ever thought that was just watching

241
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: him around way, there's no way. I mean he looked

242
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: and I don't I don't mind saying this. I mean

243
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: he looked like a seventy five year old man walking down.

244
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: He really did. And and to be able to come

245
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: back and play. It is remarkable. And then to be

246
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: at a at a Pro Bowl level, that's that's just

247
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: I mean, can he can he get Edlock Courage Award?

248
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: Is that going to happen? I would think that's I

249
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: think probably won that. No, they all they announced those

250
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: for the year. So but but you know, it was

251
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: it was amazing. I don't think he's played as great

252
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: as we've seen, you know, in other years. But I

253
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: can say the same about Zach and Tyre and I

254
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: just I think reputation, you know, for them, which it's funny.

255
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we said, you know, Dak and Amari

256
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: had cases, and we said six or seven guys might

257
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: make it. Like the Cowboys. Still they're like third in

258
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: the NFC in terms of selections, Like they've got They've

259
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: got more than the Packers, they got more than the Vikings.

260
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: They have as many as the forty nine ers who

261
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 1: are having a great year the Seahawks, and the Packers

262
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: only got two yeah really yeah each Rogers or Baktari

263
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: and Wilson and Wagner. So the Cowboys doubled up two

264
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: of the best teams in the So, No, they're fine,

265
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: They're absolutely fine. That's what's crazy, though it's likely got

266
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: more than they deserve to have off the strength of

267
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: this season. Yeah, we talk about them not being as

268
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: good this year, but then when you compare them to

269
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: the rest of the league, it's like they're still pretty

270
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: damn good. So it's almost the fact that the meeting

271
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: our expectations farming team. And that does speak to the

272
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: talent level. And we've had this debate back and forth,

273
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: or they really as talented as we think. I think

274
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: it does speak to the fact that when you've got

275
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: three guys in offensive line that are even in that conversation,

276
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: that matters, right, how many teams around the league have

277
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: three offensive line whether you believe that Travis had as

278
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: best you or any of them have, or whether they

279
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: deserve this to have three guys that are even in

280
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: the conversation on one offensive line, And by the way,

281
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: make the argument that the best of them didn't get

282
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: placed on that list in Lyle Collins, who has that right,

283
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: and that says they got talent, they just haven't been

284
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: able to I mean you can also say too, I

285
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: mean four Pro bowlers that that's great, but when it's

286
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, when it's third and six, and in your defense,

287
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: none of those Pro Bowlers are helping you. So yes,

288
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 1: you do have talent, but my point all along is

289
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: is it spread around equally and to the point where

290
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: you know you could still lose games because of your

291
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: defense and your offensive line at times this year didn't,

292
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 1: you know, as dominating as they can be, they didn't

293
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: go dominate a lot of games. That's why I'm surprised

294
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: that the three guys made the Pro Bowl honestly too.

295
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's take our first break. When we come back,

296
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into some storylines. Nick is gonna tell

297
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: us a little bit about what to expect this week

298
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: as far as stories around Cowboys versus Eagles for the

299
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: division title. At least for the Cowboys. I would do

300
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: that when we come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys

301
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: dot Com Radio. I'm Jay Novachik, former tight end for

302
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Back in the day, I was the

303
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: guy who always got the tough yards, and that's why

304
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,400

00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: the start, we're talking Cowboys Versus Eagles. Nick's gonna tell

335
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: us the storylines of the week. What are the things

336
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: that fans will be tracking this week heading into this

337
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys versus Eagles and the child. Dave can help me

338
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: with it too, because Dave helped me. He did. That's right,

339
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: you wrote the story. Write the story. Um, that's what

340
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: happens when the boss decides that, right. He just like, hey, Dave,

341
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: why don't you write this story? No, it really happens

342
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: when people put like four meetings in one day. Teamwork

343
00:16:55,040 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: makes the dream? Does that? I don't know anyways? All right?

344
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: For the Eagles, I mean it's it's similar to the

345
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys of it. This is do or die for them.

346
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: I mean they if they don't win this game, they're

347
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs. It's not exactly the same for

348
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, but you know, they have to win this game.

349
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: Uh and if they don't, then the Cowboys win the

350
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: NFC East. If if they win, they have to beat

351
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: the Giants. Um or Cowboys have to win or the

352
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys can lose if they beat the If they beat

353
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and then they both lose, the Eagles will

354
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: win their vision. So um, obviously they got to win

355
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: this game because they can't count on the Redskins beating

356
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: anyone or you know, and can't count anything with the Giants.

357
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: Is one of the things that Dave mentioned and he'll

358
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: talk more about as their receivers are just so banged up.

359
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I guess the three guys they've got

360
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: now are gonna be Whiteside, Davis and Ward. I mean

361
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: those are the three Gagalore could be back for this game.

362
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: That's something to watch. But I mean that's he doesn't

363
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: scare you, you know, if anything, you're kind of like sure,

364
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: that sounds great. Ward is a former quarterback, yeah, college

365
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: quarterback for those of you who follow you of h football.

366
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize that was the same guy, Yeah Houston,

367
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize that was the same guy to

368
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: Clarence mentioned it while we were watching the game on

369
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: Sunday and I was like, Oh, that is that guy,

370
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: and he's he's a really small guy, it seems like,

371
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: but but yeah, it's a guy that's been been changed

372
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: over from quarterback to receiver, so you would think he's

373
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: probably not a polished receiver at this point. It's a

374
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: really cool story, like he's I mean, he's yo yoed

375
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: on and off the roster like sixteen times and he

376
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: caught the game winner. It's Washington like broke down in

377
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: the end zone, which I totally get it, but he

378
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: he shouldn't scare you in terms of just beating up

379
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: on the Dallas secondary. Right. And then one guy that

380
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: is starting to kind of provide a spark for them

381
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,479
Speaker 1: as Miles Sanders. He has a thousand yards in both rushing,

382
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean a thousand yards total from scream and rushing receiving,

383
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: and it's a really nice touchdown catching the back of

384
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: the end zone. If you saw that play, I mean,

385
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: it was a great throw by the guy. You've been

386
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: talking my Ampson's draft, right. I really love Miles Sanders,

387
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: But that was just one of the best I've seen

388
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: all year. Carson Wentz, that was outstanding. Their secondary it's

389
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: been pretty bad, uh, Dwayne Askins got them pretty good.

390
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: Yeah last week, not enough to win, but they've been

391
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: banged up as well. They got all kinds of problems

392
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: there in the secondary. And then one thing I did

393
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: see that third down. They're the second best team in

394
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: the league on third down, so they're they're tough to

395
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: get off the field and offensive offense forty seven percent

396
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: they're converting. The only team better than that it's the

397
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys at forty eight points, so a lot of

398
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: third down conversions. And then of course the Cowboys. We know,

399
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: we know that the Cowboys storylines, right, I mean Malcolm

400
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: Smith MVP. Yeah signed. Where's number forty three? One of

401
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: the few numbers in NFL history? I mean in the

402
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys that is a two ring of honor. Players have

403
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: worn forty three. One name them. I'm sure you know.

404
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's why Cliff Harris Amber seriously no idea.

405
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: Don Perkins am Now, I played in nineteen sixty two.

406
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: You weren't even like a thought like even you that

407
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: name close to forty three. That doesn't even look or

408
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: in my head, I don't see it. Yeah yeah, And

409
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: it was one of the guys upstairs was like trash

410
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: number forty three. He's like, well, there's a couple of

411
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: Ring of Honors before we before we just you know,

412
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: we just throw it away. Yeah yeah, Maybe it's one

413
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: of those numbers that like means something like can't just

414
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: give it forty three to anyone. Maybe they gave it

415
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: to Sensiball. What are you trying to say? I just

416
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: wanted to get his name in there, drilled Sensiball. Okay, good,

417
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: all right, Dave, tell me about this Philadelphia offense. Um,

418
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: they're super duper banged up. That's I mean that. I mean, Nick,

419
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: the main thing is the receivers. Yeah, um, they don't

420
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: have any left. Nelson ago Or might be back. Good

421
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: for him. He won a game for the Falcons this year.

422
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: Yeah he did. I mean, And wasn't he the one

423
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: that the that the fire fire not the fire Yeah,

424
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: the guy from the viral video of from the fire

425
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: in Philly, Like you know, I was just catching them

426
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: unlike Agilore. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean so it's it's

427
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: Nelson Agloor jj Ar Saga Whiteside, greg Ward Junior U

428
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: that's their receiver. Yeah, no, absolutely. My first note is

429
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: that Ertz is definitely gonna play receiver. A bunch they do.

430
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: I mean, they have two good tight ends. They still

431
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: put their tight ends on the line. But like watching

432
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: the Redskins game, I was shocked at how often it's

433
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: like because you never see it, and when you do

434
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: see it, you notice it. How often the Eagles just

435
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: had five men on the line of scrimmage, like five,

436
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, two tackles, two guards in the center and

437
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: nobody else. Because Ertz and Goddard lined up out wide

438
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: so much, it's like it's striking when you see that,

439
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: because that's not NFL football. They do it a lot

440
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: out of necessity. Ertz and god Or can both line

441
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: up out wide. They are the number one and number

442
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: two receivers on this team by a hysterical margin. Um

443
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: ERTs ERTs is. It's it's comical. I say hysterical for

444
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: a reason. Where where are my stats? Uh Ertz has

445
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: eighty four catches. The number two receiver on this team

446
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: has got her with forty five. So it's both of

447
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: their tight ends they're just running away with it. Um

448
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: so I don't understand why teams haven't to this point

449
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: butt into games, particularly last week, and I would think

450
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: this week as well, saying okay, take ERTs away, force

451
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: them to you can double him, or you put a

452
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: cornerback on him. And if you put a cornerback on him,

453
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: let's say you decide that you're just gonna run with

454
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: with with um virons just on him the whole game.

455
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: He's gonna still catch some passes because he's really good,

456
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: but you could limit him, I think. And if you

457
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: take him away or you at least limit him, what

458
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: else do they have to really be able to hurt you?

459
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: You know what? I was thinking that too. But but okay,

460
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: even though we don't know those receivers very well, there's

461
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: still wide receivers in the NFL. GOT So the point

462
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: is is that if you're gonna put Byron Jones on

463
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: Arts and Cheeto on Goddard, you can't just put Jalen

464
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: Smith on Greg Ward and say that that that's gonna work.

465
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: I mean, like, you can't ye have five corners for everyone,

466
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: because he's just saying they're spreading everybody out, so they are.

467
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: I still think there's some mismatches there that the Eagles

468
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: are Eagles. I feel better about Greg greg Ward going

469
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: up against whoever you want to throw out at cornerback

470
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: that would be your fourth cornerback. I still feel better

471
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: about that than I do letting Arts match up with

472
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith. Yeah, like that to me would be a

473
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: problem for the count. That's what's what two tight ends

474
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: are supposed to do. They're supposed to be on the

475
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage at the snap, almost at the snap

476
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: at the ball. They could run the ball, So you

477
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: have to kind of honor that because they can block

478
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: and get in the way and the next thing you know,

479
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: they spread out, and now how do you handle that.

480
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: That's what a really good two tight end set is

481
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: supposed to do. It. I'm sure that that's what they do.

482
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: If Arts is off the line, I would put a

483
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: corner on it, I agree. And if he's on the line,

484
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: I would double him with the linebacker. And Jeff, he's

485
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: That's what I would That's exactly right. And he and

486
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: when I say like he's not flexed out like you

487
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: know in the slot, like he goes everywhere. He'll he

488
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: lines up outside too. He can do all that and

489
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys probably will use cornerbacks to cover

490
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: him when when the need arises. It just depends on

491
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: where he lines up. I would literally go into the

492
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: game defensively and say every play, I'm identifying where he is,

493
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: and based on where he is and what I think

494
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: that that what my study tells me of how they're

495
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: going to use him. I'm gonna have either able either

496
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: double or I'm gonna have one of my better corners

497
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: on him, and I'm gonna try to limit him and

498
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: force the quarterback to go somewhere else. Because here's the deal.

499
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: If greg Ward's beat if greg Ward beat you or

500
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: whoever else Whiteside beat you, then okay, they beat us.

501
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: They were good that day, right, But I'd rather take

502
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,719
Speaker 1: away the guy that I know can beat me and

503
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: make somebody else do it, then then go with something

504
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: that's a little more spread out that That's the point though,

505
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't have that many players, so that

506
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: so that's why they're gonna go. That's why the mismatch

507
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: is there. If you want to take away their tie

508
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: in with your corner, then one of your safeties has

509
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: to cover one of their receivers. Right, you know, okay,

510
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: and again, you're good with that. If you're talking about

511
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: one of their their second or third receiver on that list,

512
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm good with that. I'll take that chance. I completely,

513
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: I completely and one percent agree with Derek these receives.

514
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if jj R Sega Whiteside uh takes over

515
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: this game and be too he just he just won't.

516
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: I just I don't really believe that he's got eight

517
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: catches on the year. Uh. They went into that. They

518
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: purposely played with three receivers in the In the Redskins game,

519
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: he was targeted twice and finished with no catches. I

520
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: think he could be a good player. He's a third

521
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: round pick, but I don't think he's there right now.

522
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: Nelson Agilore has a long history of not being that good.

523
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: He's Jalen Smith has to cover any of those guys. Yeah,

524
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I would have put him out there.

525
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: I'd rather put I take, I'd take my safety. I'd

526
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: take I'd take one of my safeties and slide them

527
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: down to cover a guy in the slot or cover

528
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: a guy outside before I would send Jalen out on him.

529
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: But okay, I just think it's a little bit harder

530
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: than just saying, just put two corners on those guys,

531
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: because I think they can come back. And in this

532
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: scenario saying Goddard necessarily and Godder might be the guy

533
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: that actually ends up really hurting you this week if

534
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: you really pay a lot of attention to Arts. But

535
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: I would take away their top threat and it's clear

536
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: as by that number he's doubling the next closest receiver

537
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: as far as just productivity to me, you take him away,

538
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: and you force the quarterback to identify all the guys

539
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: that are open, and you force those other guys to

540
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: beat you. I think that's a strategy worth taking in

541
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: these hypothetical scenarios, like if the Eagles came out there

542
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: with twelve personnel, two tight ends, two receivers, I would

543
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: put a cornerback on Earth's if he's you know, if

544
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: he's out there, and double Goddard and just one up

545
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: the rest of him. And that includes make him just

546
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: beat me one up. That includes the running back, which

547
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: that's scary because that's the next part is after the

548
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: tight ends. It's the running backs. I mean, that's what

549
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: wins has right now, and that's almost exclusively what they

550
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: use Miles Sanders has forty two catches on the year.

551
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: He's dynamic in both aspects. He's a good runner, two,

552
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: he makes great cuts. He seems like he's got really

553
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: good vision. And also the Eagles have a talented offensive line.

554
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson hasn't been playing, but he might be back.

555
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: Something to watch this week. Don't make me say the

556
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: name of the guy that's playing for him. It's it's

557
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: Big V. You know, Big V. Yeah, you remember Hims

558
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: Peters As far as his health, because it seems like

559
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: he's always kind of in and out. Right now he's

560
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: been playing. I mean, yeah, that's fair, but he's been

561
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: playing okay, so it's I mean, by that standard, it's

562
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: better than it has been in recent matchups. Um, they

563
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: scheme a lot of just short throws for Wentz even

564
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: like Ward caught a lot of passes like in motion

565
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: where he motions into the flat and I'm rewinding the tape,

566
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: like was that a running back that caught that or

567
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: a receiver? Because they I don't think these guys can

568
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: run routes. Having Agilore might help them just from the

569
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: sense that he probably knows the whole route tree. I'm

570
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: not convinced that Ward and Whiteside do because they're scheming

571
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: up really basic stuff for them to run like, not

572
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: because Wins can't do it, but I don't know if

573
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: they can. So Aglore might help just in the sense

574
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: that he can play traditional wide receiver a little bit

575
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: more three dimensionally. Wentz is very athletic, and a lot

576
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: of this stuff comes from his ability to extend plays.

577
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: If you get a shot at him, you gotta get

578
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: him on the ground. He made a lot of plays

579
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: in this game just by extending him, the throat of

580
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders being one of them. I mean, he drew

581
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: that thing out for eight or nine seconds before he

582
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: finally threw the ball. Boston Scott know that name. I

583
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: think he's not as under the radar as he would

584
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: have been because everybody watched that Monday night game where

585
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: he played great. But he's been targeted at forty No,

586
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, where are we at? He's he's had thirteen

587
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: receptions in the last two weeks and he's got fourteen

588
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: on the year, so it's very I mean it's out

589
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: of necessity, but they are finding him and making him

590
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: part of the offense. He's also carried the ball sixteen

591
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: times for eighty five yards in the last two games,

592
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: so like he has developed into a pretty reliable part

593
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: of their offense because they don't have any receivers. Him

594
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: and Sanders can both run, they can both catch Boston

595
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: Scott Miles, Sanders, Dallas Goddard and Zach Ertz. Like that's

596
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: how this offense is going to move, and they've shown

597
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: that it can. They scored and they scored thirty points

598
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: against Washington doing this, and like Wins is a good

599
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: enough quarterback to pick this skill player group up, I think.

600
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: I mean, as we know, we just saw a game

601
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: last week with the Cowboys where the tight ends and

602
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: the running backs. I mean that was the offense and

603
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: the receivers weren't has involved. So we know you can

604
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: win like that, and they probably have better well not probably,

605
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: they've got better tight ends, So I'm not saying they

606
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: can't win. My thought is just you gotta you gotta

607
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,479
Speaker 1: force them to do with other people rather than let

608
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: the guy you know can beat you beat you. I

609
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: don't even want to say this because it always starts

610
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: a firestorm, like the Dak Wins debate, just gets people going,

611
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: like Eli Romo used to and I know, like dak

612
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: leads Dak Lee the league and drops and it hasn't

613
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: been perfect for him. I think the world of Dak

614
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz doesn't have a lot to work with right now,

615
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: and he's still playing pretty well. Like I'm sure early

616
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: in the year he had some he had most of

617
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: his guys and it was that was a while there

618
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: where Urts really wasn't really going the way you would

619
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: expect Urts to be going there. He has some struggles

620
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: early in the season. This offense has gotten like maybe

621
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: two games out of their preferred skill package, you know

622
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like George DeShawn Jackson, that was a

623
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: huge They got one game out of de Shawn Jackson

624
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: had great If you if you watch that game, it's

625
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: obvious what they wanted him to be for this offense

626
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: and they haven't had it. And they've had to readjust

627
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: because I mean, Alshon Jeffrey's a hell of a receiver,

628
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,479
Speaker 1: but he's not that burner dude that scares the hell

629
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: out of you. But they had to know that going in.

630
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: You go inside and Sean Jackson at this point in

631
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: his career, he's already a guy that's been injured a

632
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: lot throughout his career. That's just what you're going how

633
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: that may be the case, but they have not had

634
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: their preferred guys, and I like, I can hear the

635
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: angry people right now. I know, I get it. You

636
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: gotta that's part of football. But I'm sure Wentz would

637
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: love to have the skill players that I mean. Jack

638
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: hasn't had to deal with that at all this year,

639
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,959
Speaker 1: and it just is what it is. They're both good players,

640
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: but Winz is making it work as best he can

641
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: with a not ideal situation. All Right, we're gonna take

642
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,479
Speaker 1: our final break. We'll come back. We'll get some questions,

680
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: to ninety seven will take your calls that way. I

681
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: also have a question right now for you guys from

682
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: Joshua her Nandez. You sent this via Twitter said, did

683
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: you see the Cowboys blitz anymore because of the Eagles

684
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: not having any serious threats at the wide receiver position? Yeah?

685
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean, especially when you're talking about guys that don't

686
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: have a lot of great speed and they're not big

687
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: guys that can go, you know, down the field and

688
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: I'll jump you. Yeah. I like the match up there.

689
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: And that's one thing about tight ends. As good as

690
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: they are, they put their body on you and stuff,

691
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: but they're not that quick where they're gonna just, you know,

692
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: right off the bat get open. So I could see

693
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: I could see where you get some blitzes early, you know,

694
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: not early in the game, but I mean a blitz

695
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: is that'll get him get the ball out of his hands.

696
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: I would be in favor of it. I mean, they're

697
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: twenty seventh in the league and blitz rate. I think,

698
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: oh the Cowboys, like, I mean, they just they just

699
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: don't they just don't do it. They never really have,

700
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: um I hope, So I mean we I mean they

701
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: blitzer has got both of their sacks in the last game,

702
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: so yeah, maybe they build that in. I would be

703
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: in favor of it. Miles Sanders, I mean, that's the

704
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: kind of stuff that'll hurt you if you keep blitzing

705
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: the light out. I want to know what kind of

706
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense we're gonna get this weekend, because you can

707
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: go both ways. Obviously we've seen them having great games

708
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: like the last one, but then at the same time,

709
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: we've seen them when they get really hurt by the

710
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: running back and even tight ends and those little short

711
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: plays that they just sometimes are unable to cover at all.

712
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see. It's a I mean,

713
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: it's a good thing when the other team doesn't have

714
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 1: any wide receivers. But the players they do have are

715
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: what you need good linebackers for, and that's what the

716
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys don't really have right now. There leaves a lot

717
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,240
Speaker 1: of stress on the linebacker corps. Lee's hobbled, Joe Thomas

718
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: has hobbled. Malcolm Smith just got here. So I mean

719
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: that's gonna tight ends and running backs like that's kind

720
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: of that's your area of expertise. So it's gonna be

721
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: big for them. All right, Let's get a phone call

722
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: from Steve in New Jersey. Steve, what up? Hey, guys?

723
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 1: How good to call you. I really love the show

724
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: and listening to it every day. Um, forty plus year

725
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: Cowboys fan here, I'm wright and stuck in. I'm like

726
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: white as the shore in Jersey here. Do you know

727
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: what I mean? So I'm white and stuck up between

728
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: Giant and Eagle terrors story, so Eagles are much more rougher.

729
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: To believe me, I would even dare go to the link.

730
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Um, I gotta admit, guys, you know what

731
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: it seems like whenever our defense has played well. It

732
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 1: seems like we get good penetration from our tackles. I mean,

733
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: you know they do MALIEK Collins and he's been a

734
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: little bit inconsistent. I remember you guys seeing at beginning

735
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: of the year. You guys thought he was going to be,

736
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: you know, one of the guys coming out that Brian

737
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: and you guys all thought he was going to be,

738
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, better than he was last couple of years.

739
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: He's been inconsistent. If if they can get a push

740
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: up the middle on Wentz, that that can solve the

741
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: whole earth problem right there, I think personally, And it

742
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 1: seems like when their defense plays well, their tackles, you know,

743
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: get good penetration, and it seems like when they don't,

744
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: that's when they struggle because they just double dware and uh,

745
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: you know, Quinn well, I have a d law but um,

746
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: you wish the war was there. But you know, you're

747
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: talking about the Eagles interior line. I believe two of

748
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: them are in the Pro Bowl right say. It's not

749
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: a great matchup Jason Kelsey and Brandon Brooks. I mean,

750
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: Brooks has been a fine for them. He just signed

751
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: a big money deal. He's been really good. So that's

752
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: not going to be at least Anteline Woods is back

753
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: and the end of the day. Yeah, I mean I

754
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: agree in theory, and that's I don't think MALIEK. Collins

755
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: has been bad. Inconsistence is probably a good word. I

756
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: mean that describes a lot of people on this team.

757
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: But if you had a and they haven't, they great.

758
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: I think he's at four four and a half sacks

759
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: or something like that, Malik. But I mean if they

760
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 1: had an you know, a nine or ten sack three technique,

761
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: which they haven't had since Jason Hatcher, Yeah, it could

762
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: make all the difference. Maybe we need to kind of

763
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,919
Speaker 1: think about that more next year. You know, one year

764
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: of training camp we were like, oh, we're not We're

765
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: gonna look at the kickers this year, you know, because

766
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: we got burned two years ago. Maybe we need to

767
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: look at that too with the offensive line and be like,

768
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 1: all right, are the line play and say, Okay, Malie

769
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: Collins looks like he's doing well, but is he really

770
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: because you know, they're not just like blocking to the

771
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: ground and all this kind of stuff. Yeah, he was

772
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: doing a nice job in those one on one drills

773
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: and all that but sometimes that's hard to translate into

774
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: actually playing when you get four on four out there.

775
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: So for four and five, all I know is and

776
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: I get it. I mean, we're not we're not infallible.

777
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: We make mistakes all the time and we can only

778
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: go off what we see and we were wrong. I

779
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: mean Xavier Woods and Cheeto jump out to my mind

780
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: in terms of guys that looked a lot better at

781
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: training camp. But like, it's not like all of this

782
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: is just our uninformed opinion, Like we talked to people

783
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: like the coaches were blown away by Malie Collins and

784
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: training camp like, but talked about him constantly here, like

785
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: tape sessions at night, like circling him and look at

786
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: this badass, look at the camp he's having, right, And

787
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: my point is is that and they also are seeing

788
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: him play. Yeah that's true. Yeah, but a lot of that,

789
00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: a lot of the plays that that he that he

790
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: earned heads on. We're not necessarily just in the one

791
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: on ones. It was in the team as well. You're right, though,

792
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: when you're not playing live football then it is a

793
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: little different. It definitely is. But we say that every

794
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: year and you get to training camp. The reason why

795
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: you go to training camp, but everyone's excited, like who's

796
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: looking good? And all you can talk about is what's

797
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: in the moment, and that's all you can talk about.

798
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,240
Speaker 1: You know. I've gotten dragged on a few occasions about

799
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: things I said during training camp. I'm like, cool, next summer,

800
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: I'll just go out there and not share anything with

801
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: y'all and we'll see how that plays. Like I'm sure

802
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: you would hate it even more, right, and you just

803
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 1: talk about what you see, And that doesn't mean it

804
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: always translates into the season. We've seen that many times before.

805
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: Guys can have great camps, not necessarily a great season

806
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 1: without a doubt, though, if the defensive tackles can provide

807
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: a push, because you know that Quinn and Lawrence and

808
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 1: Bennett and Bennett might be one of those guys, you know,

809
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: providing the push. But those guys are gonna get some

810
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 1: outside rush and that's they're going to force the quarterback

811
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: to step up. How how much room does he have

812
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: to step up is the big question. If he's got

813
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: no room, then that's a sack and that's a turnover

814
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: and that's a big play. That's the key. So the caller,

815
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 1: I think is right defensive tackles need to provide that push,

816
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: and it's been inconsistent. It's a massive bummer that safety

817
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: and d tackle or their two biggest needs, and neither

818
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: one of them feels addressed right now. Yeah, not for

819
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 1: lack of trying, but just doesn't mean they tried. They had.

820
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: I understand, I'm saying at defensive tackle, you can't address

821
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: both of them. The second round pick, Like that's the

822
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: highest pick you had. You addressed one of them. And

823
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't like they say, it doesn't feel like it

824
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 1: was addressed, because you're not singing it was addressed in trade.

825
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: They had to go get Michael Bennett. True, honestly, even

826
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: if even if Tristan Hill develops into a good player,

827
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: like Malik is a free agent, Jeff Heath is a

828
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: free agent, Xavier Woods is not, but he's closer to

829
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: the end of his contract from the beginning, and no,

830
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: he's addressed. I just thinking Antoine Woods is a restricted

831
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: free agent. Yeah, I mean, and throw tight end in

832
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: there too. They there's three bugaboo spots, and I mean,

833
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: Jarwin looks promising, but you still you feel kind of thing.

834
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: I mean, also, you're losing Michael Bennett. He's a free agent.

835
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: He's gone when as quinnep gone, Yeah, not coming back.

836
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: Don't think you don't think, Oh, I think they might

837
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: be willing to pay him good money, not great money.

838
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: They're not gonna pay him tank money. But he's one

839
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: of those it's hard to gauge. Somebody might pay him

840
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: pretty good money, but at his age, you would think

841
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: it's a shorter term deal. So they may be willing

842
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 1: to pay him a significant amount on a short term

843
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: two year deal, one year deal, whatever it is. Right,

844
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: those guys are hard to gauge because like he's gotten

845
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: his he's gotten a contract extension, like he's made big money,

846
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 1: and so now like length of the deal, money, how

847
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: much he likes the area, how much he likes the area,

848
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: how much he likes the scheme, and that'll depend on coaching.

849
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, we're way in the weeds.

850
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: We have so much change coming soon. You didn't I

851
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: didn't think so coming into this year. I thought that

852
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: so much was locked up. But it really is a lot.

853
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: They got a lot that they'll have a lot of

854
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: decisions to make, a lot of contracts to be made,

855
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that they may be won to

856
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: keep that they won't be able to keep. So yeah,

857
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's gonna be a very

858
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: very interesting offseason once you get there. And not to

859
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,800
Speaker 1: mention the whole cloud that's hanging over this coaching stuff,

860
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: like there's a lot that's gonna be happening in this offseason. Ye,

861
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna that's that's it for us. Actually,

862
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 1: we'll be back actually done. We'll be back on with

863
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: you guys tomorrow. We'll get into this Philadelphia defense. See

864
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: if that sounds any better or presents any interesting problems

865
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. So then for Nick Eatman, Dave Hellman,
