Yeah, And so much for that. 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:30.760 It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:36.920 ware with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:41.320 Derek Eagleton. It is Wednesday, December eighteenth, twenty nineteen, Season fifteen, 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.360 episode number one h two. Welcome to another edition of Break. 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.360 We're live the s WBC Mortgage studios at the Star 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:49.480 and we've got a few things we're gonna hit today. 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:51.440 We're gonna talk a little Pro Bowl. Count boys get 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.760 their their guys in, a few of their guys in. 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.560 We'll talk about some guys that maybe should have gotten 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.160 in and see how you guys feel about that. We'll 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.440 also get into some storylines for the game. Nick has 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.400 this weekly article where he tells us what the prevailing 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.960 storylines will be Cowboys versus Eagles, and then Dave gives 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.280 us his breakdown of the Eagles offense. Tomorrow we will 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.640 do the defense. So let's start first with the Pro 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:17.200 Bowl selections. Cowboys have four players name to the Pro Bowl, 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:21.560 Tyrn Smith, Travis Frederick, Zach Martin, Zeke Elliott. Are there 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.280 any guys that you think should have been on that 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:28.960 list that we're not? Nope? Well, should we talk about 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.280 the injuries first? I'm gonna say this is a rare 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.320 case where I think the injury probably should lead the show. 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:36.760 Sometimes I don't. You don't think it's notable that the 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:41.600 quarterback heard his shoulder play to it? Right, You could 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.800 argue he didn't look awesome for chunks of that game. 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.160 All right, Sure, Dak's limited, he heard his shoulder. Clay 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.560 Matthews landed on him on Sunday. He played through it. 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.960 He's gonna play Sunday. But ush's out there practice. The 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.240 injury is bad enough that he's not throwing in practice, 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.960 and Jason Garrett said it's hard for him to function. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.440 So I think, I mean, it's not worthy. He's gonna play, 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.160 but he's gonna play. It's still notworthy. I think that 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.200 becomes a part of the analysis of the game when 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.880 we start talking about this Eagles defense versus deck On 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.000 offense and how that plays out. Because he's playing absolute doubt, 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.760 he's definitely gonna play, but if it hinders his effectiveness, 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.480 I think that's noteworthy. Well do you think it hindered 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.600 his effectiveness last week? I don't know. I did have 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:24.560 to go back and watch from the play where he 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.680 hurt his shoulder and really analyze it. I just know 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.840 that he looked off on Sunday, like he didn't look 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.440 his most accurate. Garrett said. It was pretty early on 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:37.400 in the game, first or second quarter. Like I said, 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.240 I mean, I this, We've learned this fifteen minutes ago, 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.000 so I've had a chance. But I don't think he 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.400 looked that great. And I'm sure that's part of it. 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:47.560 He's also you know, add that to the list with 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.600 the finger and the wrist, and yeah, I mean it 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.840 sounds like something that could hinder him pretty severely. Luckily 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.240 this is not a great Eagles secondary, but still, yeah, 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.840 is there another injury? Tyrn Smith also, it was not practicing. 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:04.320 He's got a sty on his eye that'll probably you know, 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:07.040 subside over the next few days, but he won't be 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.440 practicing today. We'll see a pretty big sty. He can't 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.280 open his eye according to the chasing Garrett. Oh yeah, okay, 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:17.320 so just yeah really has small eyes, does he? I 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.360 think so. Yeah, I never noticed. I think so so. 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.760 I mean I never small eyes, So if I have 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.280 one completely shut, that's a big problem because then I 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.720 can really barely see from the other one. He's such 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.760 a big dude, you never think like small eyes. But yeah, 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:33.639 I'll have to look at him next time. I think 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.480 they'll both be fine for Sunday. But it's I don't 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.080 know if you want to call it troubling or at 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.960 least noteworthy to start the week with. Yeah, that's where're 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:43.520 something to keep an eye on, and we'll see how 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.880 it goes. But I don't think obviously there's no I 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.400 shouldn't say no chance, but the likelihood that they don't 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:53.040 play Sunday is relatively small. Yeah, yeah, all right, Um, 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.600 so let's talk about Pro Bowls. Well, there any guys 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.520 that you thought should nick Now, there are any guys 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.600 that are not on the list that should be on 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:02.560 the list in your opinion that play for the Cowboys. 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:06.160 Lyle Collins. I think Lyle Collins has been great this year, 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.720 and I think, I mean, I get it. At some 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:10.960 point you gotta draw the line. It's a it's an 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:15.480 all star game, but I think it's silly. Three tackles 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:21.000 get put on the team and they're all left tackles. Meanwhile, guy, 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.440 I mean, and it's not just Lyle Collins. Lyle has 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.760 been great, Lane Johnson is one of the best right 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.360 tackles in the league. Ryan Ramchick has been killing it 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.800 in New Orleans, and they just don't get any recognition 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.400 because they don't play the big visibility tackle spot. I 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:36.839 think that's stupid. I think I would change it to 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.120 be two left tackles and two right tackles. And I 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.520 certainly think Lyle has a case to be you know, 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.280 I think he's one of the two or three best 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.640 right tackles in the NFC at least, but based on 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.880 how they do it, we'll only have three tackles. If 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.440 he's gonna make it, one of these guys, David baktr 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.880 Tyren Smith of Terren Arms Armstead has to come off. 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.240 Are you saying that he should be on over one 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.000 of those three guys. No, That's my point is I 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:02.080 think that's dumb. Like it's like you got three spots 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:06.280 for quarterback, but they're all starters, but you still get three, 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.320 you know what I mean. So by that logic, there 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.120 should be like five tackles shouldn't there. You have three 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.080 times as many as players as you have starters, is 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.240 what you're saying exactly, And so you should have six 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.920 like in this instance, like there's three quarterbacks and they 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.760 all play in the game. So if there's enough tackles 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.360 to cycle amented out of the game, you should have 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.240 five or six. And Lyle Collins should absolutely be one 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.480 of those. And right tackles should be represented on the roster, 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.000 and it's not, and it sucks, and that's why you 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:39.360 got snubbed pound for pound. And I think Tyron has 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.640 had a good season. He's still a lot better than 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:43.480 you want to get credit for. You're just spoiled by 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.600 the expectations. But pound for pound, week for week, Lyle 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.360 has been better than Tyron, I think this season. Yep. 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:51.840 And that's the tough part about offensive lineman. Nick, you 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:53.680 were making the point, I'll let you make the point 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.039 before you went on the air about offensive lineman and 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.120 how tough it is for guys to get onto that 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.680 Pro Bowl roster and how easy it easy, how much 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:02.479 easier it is for a guy that's been on that 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.799 Pro Bowl roster to stay on the Pro Bowl roster 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:08.240 because offensive. Labman, Well, I mean we didn't. I mean, 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.920 can you name another center in the league other than Kelsey? 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:15.120 There's not a lot. I mean Mac yeah, but I 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.440 mean yeah yeah. And he's like and you could say, well, 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.560 players know each other. Well, I mean, it doesn't sound 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:23.880 like the receivers know who the kicker is for the Cowboys. 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:25.360 They don't know his name, So I don't know if 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.400 they know people's names, you know. So I so, you know, 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.600 Nick's referring to a video that we put up. Where 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:35.720 is that that was? That wasn't sounds that was pretty sure. 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:39.240 I was about to say, didn't, Yeah, because what's his name? Ka? Kai? 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.920 I thought was kay? It was like Randall says, if 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:43.560 he makes more kicks, I went to name my kid 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:48.520 that Kai? And what the hell's that? That was fantastic? So, 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:50.520 I mean and I get and I get it, he 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.720 just got here, but that doesn't mean that you know 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.080 the center and the other team and all that, and 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.920 you just look at him like Frederick yeah, Martin. Yeah. 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.000 So all that being said, I'm sure it happens on 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.160 the on the other side too, And I just I 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:07.360 just don't believe that Dak Prescott this isn't the year 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.559 that you're going to take away the Hall of Fame 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.880 quarterbacks that are having great seasons. I mean their team 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:17.280 is really good, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, and Russell Wilson. 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:22.000 Who does Dak in his seven seven record? Replace if 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.480 you want to say Drew Brees, he's got six wins 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.520 in nine games, He's got six wins, So I mean 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.960 Dak got seven in fourteen, you know, and their intercept 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.160 their touchdowns are pretty close too. So I just I 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.440 think Drew Brees, I think. I don't think quarterback was 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.640 a snub there at all. I really don't. I completely 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.600 agree on I mean, if Dak was on there, I 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.520 wouldn't be mad about it. No, I'm deserved. But it's 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.800 just in this year, there's just too many. If you're 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.680 working yourself into a frenzy that Dak should be on there, 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:52.239 I just I don't see it. There's seven and seven 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.400 and it's obviously way. I mean, there's more to it. 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.560 Quarterback wins are not just a quarterback stat. But if 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.480 you're so good that you should like you got snubbed 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:03.360 for the Pro Bowl, then you mean you should be 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.080 able to lift your team to a little bit better 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.000 performance than that, right, Yeah, And if you're going to 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.760 make the argument just based upon the stats he belongs there, 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.040 then you got to also throw in Jameis Winston because 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.400 Jameis Winston's right up there, maybe ahead of him in yards. 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:16.680 I don't know about touchdowns, I'm not certain. I know 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.000 he has a ton more interceptions. But the point is, 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.600 if you're just going by stats, there are still other 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.800 guys that get into the picture. And I don't think 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.160 that if you just look at stats, that's necessarily a 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.400 good indication for the quarterback position because there are other 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.880 things that are factored in for quarterbacks. And what's Aaron Rodgers' stats? 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:36.520 Because I saw twenty one touchdowns and two interceptions, that 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.040 seems pretty good, pretty good. Yeah, But they haven't been 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.640 throwing as much as they have in previous years. And 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.120 by the way they're winning that they're winning, So that 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.640 means that whatever their formula is, he's doing what it 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.720 takes from the quarterback position to run that kind of 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.640 scheme and be able to move the ball and be effective. 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.520 You know. And I think the heart of the voting 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:57.640 took place in the last three weeks or you know, 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.280 the last month or so, you know, don't don't three 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.439 in a row in national TV, because I guarantee you're like, 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:04.320 all right, let's look at this cowboy team. They're playing 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.839 the Patriots today. Well they didn't score touchdown. Okay, Well 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.199 then Thanksgiving Day they played that the Bills, Well, throw 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.040 one touchdown, and he threw another one late in the 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:14.440 game when it's probably turned off. And then against the Bears, 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.120 his touchdown pass was probably not even seen by most 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:18.719 people because it was way late in the game too, 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:20.240 And that that was one where a lot of stats 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.760 seem kind of hollow in that game. So that's absolutely 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.040 and you can make the same argument for Mark Cooper. 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.960 I think Cooper Cooper's got a good case to be there, 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.360 but none of them, I'm not. You can't get mad 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.080 at all. The guys that made it over him have 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:36.280 good cases too. They got better numbers. People people have 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.960 kind of there's been some backlash. Like you go back 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.679 to like Detroit and the Giants game at the start 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.120 of November, You're like, DA's got a case to build 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:47.240 his resume. You know, he's gonna be on national TV 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.760 four times, He's gonna play on Thanksgiving. He's gonna do this. 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.560 He's gonna do that, and it didn't happen, and people 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.160 kind of came back like, well, you feel stupid, don't 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.200 you know? I was like no. All I said was 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.360 he would have the opportunity to build that case, and 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.400 he didn't do it, And that's probably why he's not 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.120 in the Pro Bowl either. If they had played better 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.560 in that stretch, he'd have everything he could possibly want. Yeah, 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.680 speaking about Amari Cooper, all four of the guys that 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.360 made it had more yards than him, All but one 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.360 had more touchdowns. That was Julio. Julio only has six 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.800 where Mari has eight. But you got Julio Jones, Michael Thomas, 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.400 Mike Evans, Chris Godwin all have had really really great 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.760 years and statistically better than Amari Cooper. So it's hard 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.280 to make the argument that he that he should have 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.720 been in over any of those guys. Were you guys 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.320 at all shocked that only four guys got in? Though 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.240 I know we went through this the other day. I 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.360 think we had way more than that that we thought 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.680 could get in. I was pretty placed with the list, 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.680 you know, And I still think that there could always 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.360 be the possibility that some of these guys make it 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.960 into as we go on, but the one that definitely 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:52.800 shocked me and I don't know why, well, I do 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.720 know why, Travis Frederick. It's it's amazing to see that 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.319 he made it into the Pro Bowl. I remember earlier 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.480 in the season, Nick was even talking about, oh, well, 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.280 is Joe Looney maybe better because we plug Joe Looney 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.440 in there with some of the issues that they were 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:12.199 having earlier on. No, but it's really great to see 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.920 where he was at last year and he'm barely even 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:19.920 able to walk, losing so much weight, so much muscle weight, 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.080 and him making the Pro Bowl this year. That was 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.240 impressive when you think about you know, you've been in 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.959 the locker room and last late last year and him 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.080 kind of walking the way he was he was walking 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:33.240 in and you're like, he's not He's not gonna play 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:35.079 next year, He's not gonna play anymore. I mean, I 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.280 don't know if you ever thought that was just watching 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.000 him around way, there's no way. I mean he looked 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:41.880 and I don't I don't mind saying this. I mean 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.400 he looked like a seventy five year old man walking down. 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.719 He really did. And and to be able to come 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.120 back and play. It is remarkable. And then to be 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.920 at a at a Pro Bowl level, that's that's just 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.440 I mean, can he can he get Edlock Courage Award? 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.360 Is that going to happen? I would think that's I 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.800 think probably won that. No, they all they announced those 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.760 for the year. So but but you know, it was 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.640 it was amazing. I don't think he's played as great 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:11.839 as we've seen, you know, in other years. But I 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.079 can say the same about Zach and Tyre and I 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:18.000 just I think reputation, you know, for them, which it's funny. 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.040 I mean, yeah, we said, you know, Dak and Amari 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:23.719 had cases, and we said six or seven guys might 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.600 make it. Like the Cowboys. Still they're like third in 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.200 the NFC in terms of selections, Like they've got They've 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.480 got more than the Packers, they got more than the Vikings. 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.559 They have as many as the forty nine ers who 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.959 are having a great year the Seahawks, and the Packers 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:40.760 only got two yeah really yeah each Rogers or Baktari 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:45.080 and Wilson and Wagner. So the Cowboys doubled up two 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.000 of the best teams in the So, No, they're fine, 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.840 They're absolutely fine. That's what's crazy, though it's likely got 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:51.680 more than they deserve to have off the strength of 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:55.000 this season. Yeah, we talk about them not being as 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:58.080 good this year, but then when you compare them to 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:01.280 the rest of the league, it's like they're still pretty 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:06.320 damn good. So it's almost the fact that the meeting 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.240 our expectations farming team. And that does speak to the 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.440 talent level. And we've had this debate back and forth, 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.319 or they really as talented as we think. I think 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.080 it does speak to the fact that when you've got 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.480 three guys in offensive line that are even in that conversation, 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.440 that matters, right, how many teams around the league have 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.120 three offensive line whether you believe that Travis had as 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.000 best you or any of them have, or whether they 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.280 deserve this to have three guys that are even in 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.240 the conversation on one offensive line, And by the way, 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.000 make the argument that the best of them didn't get 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.560 placed on that list in Lyle Collins, who has that right, 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.120 and that says they got talent, they just haven't been 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.000 able to I mean you can also say too, I 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.440 mean four Pro bowlers that that's great, but when it's 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.000 you know, when it's third and six, and in your defense, 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.120 none of those Pro Bowlers are helping you. So yes, 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:52.719 you do have talent, but my point all along is 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:56.240 is it spread around equally and to the point where 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:58.600 you know you could still lose games because of your 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.440 defense and your offensive line at times this year didn't, 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.839 you know, as dominating as they can be, they didn't 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.320 go dominate a lot of games. That's why I'm surprised 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:09.400 that the three guys made the Pro Bowl honestly too. 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.160 All right, let's take our first break. When we come back, 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.080 we're gonna get into some storylines.

Back to the break, Welcome Back, 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.520 second segment of show like nes WBC Mortgage Studios. At 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.840 the start, we're talking Cowboys Versus Eagles. Nick's gonna tell 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.520 us the storylines of the week. What are the things 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:37.440 that fans will be tracking this week heading into this 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.280 Cowboys versus Eagles and the child. Dave can help me 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.120 with it too, because Dave helped me. He did. That's right, 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.400 you wrote the story. Write the story. Um, that's what 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.480 happens when the boss decides that, right. He just like, hey, Dave, 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:51.760 why don't you write this story? No, it really happens 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:55.000 when people put like four meetings in one day. Teamwork 0:16:55.040 --> 0:17:00.480 makes the dream? Does that? I don't know anyways? All right? 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.160 For the Eagles, I mean it's it's similar to the 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:05.880 Cowboys of it. This is do or die for them. 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:07.680 I mean they if they don't win this game, they're 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:09.639 out of the playoffs. It's not exactly the same for 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.200 the Cowboys, but you know, they have to win this game. 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:14.720 Uh and if they don't, then the Cowboys win the 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.360 NFC East. If if they win, they have to beat 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:20.760 the Giants. Um or Cowboys have to win or the 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:23.240 Cowboys can lose if they beat the If they beat 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.360 the Cowboys and then they both lose, the Eagles will 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.640 win their vision. So um, obviously they got to win 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:31.680 this game because they can't count on the Redskins beating 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.200 anyone or you know, and can't count anything with the Giants. 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:36.400 Is one of the things that Dave mentioned and he'll 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.800 talk more about as their receivers are just so banged up. 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:42.520 I mean, like, I guess the three guys they've got 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.840 now are gonna be Whiteside, Davis and Ward. I mean 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.480 those are the three Gagalore could be back for this game. 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:52.119 That's something to watch. But I mean that's he doesn't 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:56.480 scare you, you know, if anything, you're kind of like sure, 0:17:56.560 --> 0:18:00.000 that sounds great. Ward is a former quarterback, yeah, college 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.760 quarterback for those of you who follow you of h football. 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.360 I didn't even realize that was the same guy, Yeah Houston, 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:07.840 I didn't even realize that was the same guy to 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.159 Clarence mentioned it while we were watching the game on 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:11.800 Sunday and I was like, Oh, that is that guy, 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.080 and he's he's a really small guy, it seems like, 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.200 but but yeah, it's a guy that's been been changed 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:20.000 over from quarterback to receiver, so you would think he's 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.320 probably not a polished receiver at this point. It's a 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:24.760 really cool story, like he's I mean, he's yo yoed 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.879 on and off the roster like sixteen times and he 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.200 caught the game winner. It's Washington like broke down in 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:34.040 the end zone, which I totally get it, but he 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.680 he shouldn't scare you in terms of just beating up 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:40.000 on the Dallas secondary. Right. And then one guy that 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.399 is starting to kind of provide a spark for them 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:46.479 as Miles Sanders. He has a thousand yards in both rushing, 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.800 I mean a thousand yards total from scream and rushing receiving, 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:51.920 and it's a really nice touchdown catching the back of 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:53.560 the end zone. If you saw that play, I mean, 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:55.879 it was a great throw by the guy. You've been 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:58.320 talking my Ampson's draft, right. I really love Miles Sanders, 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:00.520 But that was just one of the best I've seen 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:05.320 all year. Carson Wentz, that was outstanding. Their secondary it's 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:08.440 been pretty bad, uh, Dwayne Askins got them pretty good. 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:11.160 Yeah last week, not enough to win, but they've been 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.640 banged up as well. They got all kinds of problems 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.560 there in the secondary. And then one thing I did 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:19.119 see that third down. They're the second best team in 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.359 the league on third down, so they're they're tough to 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:24.119 get off the field and offensive offense forty seven percent 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:26.159 they're converting. The only team better than that it's the 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:29.560 Dallas Cowboys at forty eight points, so a lot of 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:33.119 third down conversions. And then of course the Cowboys. We know, 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:36.560 we know that the Cowboys storylines, right, I mean Malcolm 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:42.960 Smith MVP. Yeah signed. Where's number forty three? One of 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:45.480 the few numbers in NFL history? I mean in the 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.000 Cowboys that is a two ring of honor. Players have 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.399 worn forty three. One name them. I'm sure you know. 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:58.080 I don't know. That's why Cliff Harris Amber seriously no idea. 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:03.480 Don Perkins am Now, I played in nineteen sixty two. 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:08.720 You weren't even like a thought like even you that 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.520 name close to forty three. That doesn't even look or 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:15.080 in my head, I don't see it. Yeah yeah, And 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:18.280 it was one of the guys upstairs was like trash 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:20.199 number forty three. He's like, well, there's a couple of 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:22.439 Ring of Honors before we before we just you know, 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:24.679 we just throw it away. Yeah yeah, Maybe it's one 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:26.760 of those numbers that like means something like can't just 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:29.280 give it forty three to anyone. Maybe they gave it 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:32.439 to Sensiball. What are you trying to say? I just 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:35.240 wanted to get his name in there, drilled Sensiball. Okay, good, 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:40.359 all right, Dave, tell me about this Philadelphia offense. Um, 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:44.440 they're super duper banged up. That's I mean that. I mean, Nick, 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:48.840 the main thing is the receivers. Yeah, um, they don't 0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:51.120 have any left. Nelson ago Or might be back. Good 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:54.520 for him. He won a game for the Falcons this year. 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:57.440 Yeah he did. I mean, And wasn't he the one 0:20:57.520 --> 0:20:59.480 that the that the fire fire not the fire Yeah, 0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:02.280 the guy from the viral video of from the fire 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:04.280 in Philly, Like you know, I was just catching them 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:12.280 unlike Agilore. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean so it's it's 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:16.200 Nelson Agloor jj Ar Saga Whiteside, greg Ward Junior U 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:20.000 that's their receiver. Yeah, no, absolutely. My first note is 0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:22.920 that Ertz is definitely gonna play receiver. A bunch they do. 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:24.640 I mean, they have two good tight ends. They still 0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:27.720 put their tight ends on the line. But like watching 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:32.480 the Redskins game, I was shocked at how often it's 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:34.359 like because you never see it, and when you do 0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:37.119 see it, you notice it. How often the Eagles just 0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:39.640 had five men on the line of scrimmage, like five, 0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:41.800 you know, two tackles, two guards in the center and 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:44.639 nobody else. Because Ertz and Goddard lined up out wide 0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:47.680 so much, it's like it's striking when you see that, 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:50.120 because that's not NFL football. They do it a lot 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:53.120 out of necessity. Ertz and god Or can both line 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:57.000 up out wide. They are the number one and number 0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:00.560 two receivers on this team by a hysterical margin. Um 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:06.320 ERTs ERTs is. It's it's comical. I say hysterical for 0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:09.360 a reason. Where where are my stats? Uh Ertz has 0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:12.680 eighty four catches. The number two receiver on this team 0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:15.480 has got her with forty five. So it's both of 0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:19.160 their tight ends they're just running away with it. Um 0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:22.800 so I don't understand why teams haven't to this point 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:26.800 butt into games, particularly last week, and I would think 0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:30.600 this week as well, saying okay, take ERTs away, force 0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:33.399 them to you can double him, or you put a 0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:35.320 cornerback on him. And if you put a cornerback on him, 0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:38.040 let's say you decide that you're just gonna run with 0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:42.160 with with um virons just on him the whole game. 0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:45.080 He's gonna still catch some passes because he's really good, 0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:47.960 but you could limit him, I think. And if you 0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:50.439 take him away or you at least limit him, what 0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:52.920 else do they have to really be able to hurt you? 0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:55.320 You know what? I was thinking that too. But but okay, 0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:58.000 even though we don't know those receivers very well, there's 0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:00.879 still wide receivers in the NFL. GOT So the point 0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:04.199 is is that if you're gonna put Byron Jones on 0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:08.240 Arts and Cheeto on Goddard, you can't just put Jalen 0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:11.000 Smith on Greg Ward and say that that that's gonna work. 0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:13.240 I mean, like, you can't ye have five corners for everyone, 0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:15.760 because he's just saying they're spreading everybody out, so they are. 0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:18.159 I still think there's some mismatches there that the Eagles 0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:22.200 are Eagles. I feel better about Greg greg Ward going 0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:24.840 up against whoever you want to throw out at cornerback 0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:27.360 that would be your fourth cornerback. I still feel better 0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:30.159 about that than I do letting Arts match up with 0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:32.399 Jalen Smith. Yeah, like that to me would be a 0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:34.600 problem for the count. That's what's what two tight ends 0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:36.159 are supposed to do. They're supposed to be on the 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:38.480 line of scrimmage at the snap, almost at the snap 0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:40.240 at the ball. They could run the ball, So you 0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:42.440 have to kind of honor that because they can block 0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:44.040 and get in the way and the next thing you know, 0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:46.440 they spread out, and now how do you handle that. 0:23:46.440 --> 0:23:48.680 That's what a really good two tight end set is 0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:50.440 supposed to do. It. I'm sure that that's what they do. 0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:52.760 If Arts is off the line, I would put a 0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:54.879 corner on it, I agree. And if he's on the line, 0:23:54.960 --> 0:23:57.320 I would double him with the linebacker. And Jeff, he's 0:23:57.440 --> 0:24:01.320 That's what I would That's exactly right. And he and 0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:03.840 when I say like he's not flexed out like you 0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:06.119 know in the slot, like he goes everywhere. He'll he 0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:08.000 lines up outside too. He can do all that and 0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:11.840 I think the Cowboys probably will use cornerbacks to cover 0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:14.159 him when when the need arises. It just depends on 0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:15.879 where he lines up. I would literally go into the 0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:19.480 game defensively and say every play, I'm identifying where he is, 0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:21.720 and based on where he is and what I think 0:24:21.760 --> 0:24:24.000 that that what my study tells me of how they're 0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:26.560 going to use him. I'm gonna have either able either 0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:29.040 double or I'm gonna have one of my better corners 0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:31.080 on him, and I'm gonna try to limit him and 0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:34.040 force the quarterback to go somewhere else. Because here's the deal. 0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:36.480 If greg Ward's beat if greg Ward beat you or 0:24:36.520 --> 0:24:39.840 whoever else Whiteside beat you, then okay, they beat us. 0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:42.320 They were good that day, right, But I'd rather take 0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:44.719 away the guy that I know can beat me and 0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:47.840 make somebody else do it, then then go with something 0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:50.240 that's a little more spread out that That's the point though, 0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:52.119 I mean, you don't have that many players, so that 0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:55.440 so that's why they're gonna go. That's why the mismatch 0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:57.640 is there. If you want to take away their tie 0:24:57.640 --> 0:25:00.159 in with your corner, then one of your safeties has 0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:02.399 to cover one of their receivers. Right, you know, okay, 0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:04.840 and again, you're good with that. If you're talking about 0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:08.040 one of their their second or third receiver on that list, 0:25:08.359 --> 0:25:10.600 I'm good with that. I'll take that chance. I completely, 0:25:10.680 --> 0:25:13.520 I completely and one percent agree with Derek these receives. 0:25:13.560 --> 0:25:16.880 I mean, if jj R Sega Whiteside uh takes over 0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:20.000 this game and be too he just he just won't. 0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:22.880 I just I don't really believe that he's got eight 0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:25.320 catches on the year. Uh. They went into that. They 0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:28.280 purposely played with three receivers in the In the Redskins game, 0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:31.080 he was targeted twice and finished with no catches. I 0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:32.800 think he could be a good player. He's a third 0:25:32.840 --> 0:25:35.000 round pick, but I don't think he's there right now. 0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:37.879 Nelson Agilore has a long history of not being that good. 0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:41.240 He's Jalen Smith has to cover any of those guys. Yeah, 0:25:41.280 --> 0:25:42.679 I'm not saying I would have put him out there. 0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:44.840 I'd rather put I take, I'd take my safety. I'd 0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:47.400 take I'd take one of my safeties and slide them 0:25:47.400 --> 0:25:49.440 down to cover a guy in the slot or cover 0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:52.280 a guy outside before I would send Jalen out on him. 0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:54.600 But okay, I just think it's a little bit harder 0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:56.720 than just saying, just put two corners on those guys, 0:25:56.720 --> 0:25:59.000 because I think they can come back. And in this 0:25:59.000 --> 0:26:02.360 scenario saying Goddard necessarily and Godder might be the guy 0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:04.520 that actually ends up really hurting you this week if 0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:06.639 you really pay a lot of attention to Arts. But 0:26:06.800 --> 0:26:09.320 I would take away their top threat and it's clear 0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:12.720 as by that number he's doubling the next closest receiver 0:26:12.800 --> 0:26:16.119 as far as just productivity to me, you take him away, 0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:18.720 and you force the quarterback to identify all the guys 0:26:18.720 --> 0:26:20.760 that are open, and you force those other guys to 0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:23.040 beat you. I think that's a strategy worth taking in 0:26:23.040 --> 0:26:26.080 these hypothetical scenarios, like if the Eagles came out there 0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:29.560 with twelve personnel, two tight ends, two receivers, I would 0:26:29.560 --> 0:26:32.159 put a cornerback on Earth's if he's you know, if 0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:35.639 he's out there, and double Goddard and just one up 0:26:35.680 --> 0:26:37.560 the rest of him. And that includes make him just 0:26:37.560 --> 0:26:39.480 beat me one up. That includes the running back, which 0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:42.439 that's scary because that's the next part is after the 0:26:42.480 --> 0:26:44.880 tight ends. It's the running backs. I mean, that's what 0:26:44.920 --> 0:26:48.000 wins has right now, and that's almost exclusively what they 0:26:48.119 --> 0:26:51.200 use Miles Sanders has forty two catches on the year. 0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:55.760 He's dynamic in both aspects. He's a good runner, two, 0:26:55.800 --> 0:26:57.880 he makes great cuts. He seems like he's got really 0:26:57.880 --> 0:27:01.080 good vision. And also the Eagles have a talented offensive line. 0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:04.160 Lane Johnson hasn't been playing, but he might be back. 0:27:04.359 --> 0:27:07.480 Something to watch this week. Don't make me say the 0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:09.560 name of the guy that's playing for him. It's it's 0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:13.720 Big V. You know, Big V. Yeah, you remember Hims 0:27:13.760 --> 0:27:15.760 Peters As far as his health, because it seems like 0:27:15.800 --> 0:27:18.920 he's always kind of in and out. Right now he's 0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:22.080 been playing. I mean, yeah, that's fair, but he's been 0:27:22.119 --> 0:27:24.720 playing okay, so it's I mean, by that standard, it's 0:27:24.760 --> 0:27:29.280 better than it has been in recent matchups. Um, they 0:27:29.760 --> 0:27:33.280 scheme a lot of just short throws for Wentz even 0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:35.879 like Ward caught a lot of passes like in motion 0:27:35.960 --> 0:27:40.280 where he motions into the flat and I'm rewinding the tape, 0:27:40.280 --> 0:27:41.800 like was that a running back that caught that or 0:27:41.840 --> 0:27:44.800 a receiver? Because they I don't think these guys can 0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:47.320 run routes. Having Agilore might help them just from the 0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:50.320 sense that he probably knows the whole route tree. I'm 0:27:50.359 --> 0:27:54.200 not convinced that Ward and Whiteside do because they're scheming 0:27:54.280 --> 0:27:57.000 up really basic stuff for them to run like, not 0:27:57.040 --> 0:27:58.639 because Wins can't do it, but I don't know if 0:27:58.640 --> 0:28:01.680 they can. So Aglore might help just in the sense 0:28:01.760 --> 0:28:05.240 that he can play traditional wide receiver a little bit 0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:12.160 more three dimensionally. Wentz is very athletic, and a lot 0:28:12.200 --> 0:28:14.399 of this stuff comes from his ability to extend plays. 0:28:14.440 --> 0:28:16.520 If you get a shot at him, you gotta get 0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:19.399 him on the ground. He made a lot of plays 0:28:19.400 --> 0:28:21.240 in this game just by extending him, the throat of 0:28:21.320 --> 0:28:23.280 Miles Sanders being one of them. I mean, he drew 0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:25.560 that thing out for eight or nine seconds before he 0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:31.560 finally threw the ball. Boston Scott know that name. I 0:28:31.600 --> 0:28:34.440 think he's not as under the radar as he would 0:28:34.440 --> 0:28:36.720 have been because everybody watched that Monday night game where 0:28:36.760 --> 0:28:42.800 he played great. But he's been targeted at forty No, 0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:46.040 I'm sorry, where are we at? He's he's had thirteen 0:28:46.120 --> 0:28:50.360 receptions in the last two weeks and he's got fourteen 0:28:50.440 --> 0:28:52.760 on the year, so it's very I mean it's out 0:28:52.800 --> 0:28:55.320 of necessity, but they are finding him and making him 0:28:55.320 --> 0:28:58.120 part of the offense. He's also carried the ball sixteen 0:28:58.160 --> 0:29:01.320 times for eighty five yards in the last two games, 0:29:01.360 --> 0:29:04.840 so like he has developed into a pretty reliable part 0:29:04.840 --> 0:29:07.280 of their offense because they don't have any receivers. Him 0:29:07.280 --> 0:29:10.760 and Sanders can both run, they can both catch Boston 0:29:10.800 --> 0:29:13.600 Scott Miles, Sanders, Dallas Goddard and Zach Ertz. Like that's 0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:17.280 how this offense is going to move, and they've shown 0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:19.920 that it can. They scored and they scored thirty points 0:29:19.920 --> 0:29:23.160 against Washington doing this, and like Wins is a good 0:29:23.240 --> 0:29:26.720 enough quarterback to pick this skill player group up, I think. 0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:28.400 I mean, as we know, we just saw a game 0:29:28.480 --> 0:29:30.600 last week with the Cowboys where the tight ends and 0:29:30.640 --> 0:29:33.240 the running backs. I mean that was the offense and 0:29:33.280 --> 0:29:35.320 the receivers weren't has involved. So we know you can 0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:38.840 win like that, and they probably have better well not probably, 0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:41.880 they've got better tight ends, So I'm not saying they 0:29:41.880 --> 0:29:44.320 can't win. My thought is just you gotta you gotta 0:29:44.360 --> 0:29:46.479 force them to do with other people rather than let 0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:48.560 the guy you know can beat you beat you. I 0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:50.840 don't even want to say this because it always starts 0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:55.080 a firestorm, like the Dak Wins debate, just gets people going, 0:29:55.320 --> 0:29:58.960 like Eli Romo used to and I know, like dak 0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:02.960 leads Dak Lee the league and drops and it hasn't 0:30:03.000 --> 0:30:05.120 been perfect for him. I think the world of Dak 0:30:06.240 --> 0:30:09.040 Carson Wentz doesn't have a lot to work with right now, 0:30:09.080 --> 0:30:11.760 and he's still playing pretty well. Like I'm sure early 0:30:11.800 --> 0:30:14.000 in the year he had some he had most of 0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:17.200 his guys and it was that was a while there 0:30:17.200 --> 0:30:19.760 where Urts really wasn't really going the way you would 0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:21.880 expect Urts to be going there. He has some struggles 0:30:21.880 --> 0:30:24.680 early in the season. This offense has gotten like maybe 0:30:24.720 --> 0:30:28.440 two games out of their preferred skill package, you know 0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:30.320 what I mean, Like George DeShawn Jackson, that was a 0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:32.360 huge They got one game out of de Shawn Jackson 0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:34.760 had great If you if you watch that game, it's 0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:38.040 obvious what they wanted him to be for this offense 0:30:38.040 --> 0:30:39.640 and they haven't had it. And they've had to readjust 0:30:39.680 --> 0:30:41.920 because I mean, Alshon Jeffrey's a hell of a receiver, 0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:44.479 but he's not that burner dude that scares the hell 0:30:44.520 --> 0:30:46.440 out of you. But they had to know that going in. 0:30:46.600 --> 0:30:48.480 You go inside and Sean Jackson at this point in 0:30:48.520 --> 0:30:50.240 his career, he's already a guy that's been injured a 0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:52.320 lot throughout his career. That's just what you're going how 0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:55.640 that may be the case, but they have not had 0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:57.720 their preferred guys, and I like, I can hear the 0:30:57.760 --> 0:30:59.400 angry people right now. I know, I get it. You 0:30:59.440 --> 0:31:03.120 gotta that's part of football. But I'm sure Wentz would 0:31:03.200 --> 0:31:06.840 love to have the skill players that I mean. Jack 0:31:06.920 --> 0:31:08.440 hasn't had to deal with that at all this year, 0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:10.959 and it just is what it is. They're both good players, 0:31:11.480 --> 0:31:14.120 but Winz is making it work as best he can 0:31:14.200 --> 0:31:16.600 with a not ideal situation. All Right, we're gonna take 0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:18.479 our final break. We'll come back.

Call us eighty eight eight five, five two 0:33:38.280 --> 0:33:40.840 to ninety seven will take your calls that way. I 0:33:40.920 --> 0:33:42.800 also have a question right now for you guys from 0:33:42.880 --> 0:33:45.840 Joshua her Nandez. You sent this via Twitter said, did 0:33:45.880 --> 0:33:48.360 you see the Cowboys blitz anymore because of the Eagles 0:33:48.880 --> 0:33:52.160 not having any serious threats at the wide receiver position? Yeah? 0:33:52.160 --> 0:33:54.000 I mean, especially when you're talking about guys that don't 0:33:54.000 --> 0:33:55.840 have a lot of great speed and they're not big 0:33:55.840 --> 0:33:58.320 guys that can go, you know, down the field and 0:33:58.600 --> 0:34:01.480 I'll jump you. Yeah. I like the match up there. 0:34:01.760 --> 0:34:03.600 And that's one thing about tight ends. As good as 0:34:03.640 --> 0:34:05.440 they are, they put their body on you and stuff, 0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:07.880 but they're not that quick where they're gonna just, you know, 0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:10.600 right off the bat get open. So I could see 0:34:10.719 --> 0:34:12.920 I could see where you get some blitzes early, you know, 0:34:13.120 --> 0:34:14.960 not early in the game, but I mean a blitz 0:34:15.040 --> 0:34:17.640 is that'll get him get the ball out of his hands. 0:34:18.880 --> 0:34:21.319 I would be in favor of it. I mean, they're 0:34:22.000 --> 0:34:25.040 twenty seventh in the league and blitz rate. I think, 0:34:25.800 --> 0:34:28.880 oh the Cowboys, like, I mean, they just they just 0:34:28.920 --> 0:34:31.799 don't they just don't do it. They never really have, 0:34:32.360 --> 0:34:35.120 um I hope, So I mean we I mean they 0:34:35.239 --> 0:34:37.480 blitzer has got both of their sacks in the last game, 0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:40.960 so yeah, maybe they build that in. I would be 0:34:41.000 --> 0:34:43.080 in favor of it. Miles Sanders, I mean, that's the 0:34:43.160 --> 0:34:44.880 kind of stuff that'll hurt you if you keep blitzing 0:34:44.920 --> 0:34:47.120 the light out. I want to know what kind of 0:34:47.200 --> 0:34:50.560 Cowboys defense we're gonna get this weekend, because you can 0:34:50.640 --> 0:34:54.320 go both ways. Obviously we've seen them having great games 0:34:54.680 --> 0:34:57.640 like the last one, but then at the same time, 0:34:57.680 --> 0:35:01.160 we've seen them when they get really hurt by the 0:35:01.320 --> 0:35:04.239 running back and even tight ends and those little short 0:35:04.280 --> 0:35:09.200 plays that they just sometimes are unable to cover at all. 0:35:09.760 --> 0:35:12.480 So it'll be interesting to see. It's a I mean, 0:35:12.840 --> 0:35:15.719 it's a good thing when the other team doesn't have 0:35:15.760 --> 0:35:18.879 any wide receivers. But the players they do have are 0:35:18.920 --> 0:35:21.000 what you need good linebackers for, and that's what the 0:35:21.040 --> 0:35:23.400 Cowboys don't really have right now. There leaves a lot 0:35:23.440 --> 0:35:27.240 of stress on the linebacker corps. Lee's hobbled, Joe Thomas 0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:31.319 has hobbled. Malcolm Smith just got here. So I mean 0:35:31.320 --> 0:35:34.000 that's gonna tight ends and running backs like that's kind 0:35:34.000 --> 0:35:37.840 of that's your area of expertise. So it's gonna be 0:35:37.840 --> 0:35:39.960 big for them. All right, Let's get a phone call 0:35:40.000 --> 0:35:43.200 from Steve in New Jersey. Steve, what up? Hey, guys? 0:35:43.200 --> 0:35:45.839 How good to call you. I really love the show 0:35:45.920 --> 0:35:49.279 and listening to it every day. Um, forty plus year 0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:53.360 Cowboys fan here, I'm wright and stuck in. I'm like 0:35:53.440 --> 0:35:55.319 white as the shore in Jersey here. Do you know 0:35:55.320 --> 0:35:58.160 what I mean? So I'm white and stuck up between 0:35:58.280 --> 0:36:02.160 Giant and Eagle terrors story, so Eagles are much more rougher. 0:36:02.440 --> 0:36:04.560 To believe me, I would even dare go to the link. 0:36:04.960 --> 0:36:07.880 That's crazy. Um, I gotta admit, guys, you know what 0:36:07.960 --> 0:36:11.400 it seems like whenever our defense has played well. It 0:36:11.480 --> 0:36:14.919 seems like we get good penetration from our tackles. I mean, 0:36:15.000 --> 0:36:18.400 you know they do MALIEK Collins and he's been a 0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:21.040 little bit inconsistent. I remember you guys seeing at beginning 0:36:21.040 --> 0:36:22.640 of the year. You guys thought he was going to be, 0:36:23.000 --> 0:36:25.080 you know, one of the guys coming out that Brian 0:36:25.120 --> 0:36:26.759 and you guys all thought he was going to be, 0:36:27.360 --> 0:36:29.560 you know, better than he was last couple of years. 0:36:29.560 --> 0:36:32.239 He's been inconsistent. If if they can get a push 0:36:32.320 --> 0:36:35.319 up the middle on Wentz, that that can solve the 0:36:35.360 --> 0:36:38.000 whole earth problem right there, I think personally, And it 0:36:38.040 --> 0:36:41.839 seems like when their defense plays well, their tackles, you know, 0:36:41.880 --> 0:36:44.680 get good penetration, and it seems like when they don't, 0:36:45.360 --> 0:36:48.840 that's when they struggle because they just double dware and uh, 0:36:48.880 --> 0:36:52.480 you know, Quinn well, I have a d law but um, 0:36:52.640 --> 0:36:55.480 you wish the war was there. But you know, you're 0:36:55.520 --> 0:36:59.120 talking about the Eagles interior line. I believe two of 0:36:59.160 --> 0:37:01.440 them are in the Pro Bowl right say. It's not 0:37:01.480 --> 0:37:05.319 a great matchup Jason Kelsey and Brandon Brooks. I mean, 0:37:05.360 --> 0:37:08.080 Brooks has been a fine for them. He just signed 0:37:08.080 --> 0:37:10.920 a big money deal. He's been really good. So that's 0:37:10.960 --> 0:37:13.400 not going to be at least Anteline Woods is back 0:37:13.480 --> 0:37:18.160 and the end of the day. Yeah, I mean I 0:37:18.239 --> 0:37:21.520 agree in theory, and that's I don't think MALIEK. Collins 0:37:21.560 --> 0:37:25.000 has been bad. Inconsistence is probably a good word. I 0:37:25.040 --> 0:37:26.880 mean that describes a lot of people on this team. 0:37:26.920 --> 0:37:31.120 But if you had a and they haven't, they great. 0:37:31.200 --> 0:37:33.560 I think he's at four four and a half sacks 0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:36.799 or something like that, Malik. But I mean if they 0:37:36.840 --> 0:37:40.280 had an you know, a nine or ten sack three technique, 0:37:40.320 --> 0:37:44.080 which they haven't had since Jason Hatcher, Yeah, it could 0:37:44.080 --> 0:37:46.440 make all the difference. Maybe we need to kind of 0:37:46.520 --> 0:37:49.919 think about that more next year. You know, one year 0:37:49.920 --> 0:37:51.680 of training camp we were like, oh, we're not We're 0:37:51.680 --> 0:37:53.560 gonna look at the kickers this year, you know, because 0:37:53.600 --> 0:37:56.279 we got burned two years ago. Maybe we need to 0:37:56.280 --> 0:37:58.239 look at that too with the offensive line and be like, 0:37:58.280 --> 0:38:01.760 all right, are the line play and say, Okay, Malie 0:38:01.800 --> 0:38:04.080 Collins looks like he's doing well, but is he really 0:38:04.120 --> 0:38:07.080 because you know, they're not just like blocking to the 0:38:07.160 --> 0:38:09.799 ground and all this kind of stuff. Yeah, he was 0:38:09.840 --> 0:38:11.800 doing a nice job in those one on one drills 0:38:11.800 --> 0:38:15.040 and all that but sometimes that's hard to translate into 0:38:15.200 --> 0:38:17.640 actually playing when you get four on four out there. 0:38:17.680 --> 0:38:20.120 So for four and five, all I know is and 0:38:20.800 --> 0:38:23.160 I get it. I mean, we're not we're not infallible. 0:38:23.160 --> 0:38:24.960 We make mistakes all the time and we can only 0:38:25.000 --> 0:38:27.560 go off what we see and we were wrong. I 0:38:27.600 --> 0:38:30.759 mean Xavier Woods and Cheeto jump out to my mind 0:38:30.760 --> 0:38:32.520 in terms of guys that looked a lot better at 0:38:32.520 --> 0:38:35.560 training camp. But like, it's not like all of this 0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:38.600 is just our uninformed opinion, Like we talked to people 0:38:38.760 --> 0:38:42.160 like the coaches were blown away by Malie Collins and 0:38:42.160 --> 0:38:45.440 training camp like, but talked about him constantly here, like 0:38:45.800 --> 0:38:49.120 tape sessions at night, like circling him and look at 0:38:49.160 --> 0:38:51.960 this badass, look at the camp he's having, right, And 0:38:51.960 --> 0:38:54.600 my point is is that and they also are seeing 0:38:54.719 --> 0:38:57.560 him play. Yeah that's true. Yeah, but a lot of that, 0:38:57.840 --> 0:38:59.759 a lot of the plays that that he that he 0:39:00.000 --> 0:39:02.120 earned heads on. We're not necessarily just in the one 0:39:02.120 --> 0:39:04.160 on ones. It was in the team as well. You're right, though, 0:39:04.239 --> 0:39:06.400 when you're not playing live football then it is a 0:39:06.440 --> 0:39:09.040 little different. It definitely is. But we say that every 0:39:09.080 --> 0:39:10.680 year and you get to training camp. The reason why 0:39:10.680 --> 0:39:12.520 you go to training camp, but everyone's excited, like who's 0:39:12.560 --> 0:39:14.840 looking good? And all you can talk about is what's 0:39:14.880 --> 0:39:16.840 in the moment, and that's all you can talk about. 0:39:17.320 --> 0:39:20.240 You know. I've gotten dragged on a few occasions about 0:39:20.320 --> 0:39:22.840 things I said during training camp. I'm like, cool, next summer, 0:39:23.000 --> 0:39:25.480 I'll just go out there and not share anything with 0:39:25.560 --> 0:39:28.279 y'all and we'll see how that plays. Like I'm sure 0:39:28.280 --> 0:39:30.279 you would hate it even more, right, and you just 0:39:30.280 --> 0:39:31.840 talk about what you see, And that doesn't mean it 0:39:31.880 --> 0:39:34.920 always translates into the season. We've seen that many times before. 0:39:35.160 --> 0:39:37.359 Guys can have great camps, not necessarily a great season 0:39:37.400 --> 0:39:40.720 without a doubt, though, if the defensive tackles can provide 0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:43.920 a push, because you know that Quinn and Lawrence and 0:39:44.080 --> 0:39:46.359 Bennett and Bennett might be one of those guys, you know, 0:39:46.400 --> 0:39:48.840 providing the push. But those guys are gonna get some 0:39:48.880 --> 0:39:51.280 outside rush and that's they're going to force the quarterback 0:39:51.280 --> 0:39:53.799 to step up. How how much room does he have 0:39:53.880 --> 0:39:55.799 to step up is the big question. If he's got 0:39:55.840 --> 0:39:58.120 no room, then that's a sack and that's a turnover 0:39:58.160 --> 0:40:00.600 and that's a big play. That's the key. So the caller, 0:40:00.680 --> 0:40:03.799 I think is right defensive tackles need to provide that push, 0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:07.520 and it's been inconsistent. It's a massive bummer that safety 0:40:07.560 --> 0:40:11.839 and d tackle or their two biggest needs, and neither 0:40:11.880 --> 0:40:15.600 one of them feels addressed right now. Yeah, not for 0:40:15.680 --> 0:40:20.879 lack of trying, but just doesn't mean they tried. They had. 0:40:21.280 --> 0:40:23.600 I understand, I'm saying at defensive tackle, you can't address 0:40:23.640 --> 0:40:25.040 both of them. The second round pick, Like that's the 0:40:25.080 --> 0:40:27.480 highest pick you had. You addressed one of them. And 0:40:27.640 --> 0:40:29.440 it doesn't like they say, it doesn't feel like it 0:40:29.480 --> 0:40:32.280 was addressed, because you're not singing it was addressed in trade. 0:40:32.400 --> 0:40:35.200 They had to go get Michael Bennett. True, honestly, even 0:40:35.200 --> 0:40:37.640 if even if Tristan Hill develops into a good player, 0:40:37.680 --> 0:40:40.040 like Malik is a free agent, Jeff Heath is a 0:40:40.040 --> 0:40:44.239 free agent, Xavier Woods is not, but he's closer to 0:40:44.239 --> 0:40:47.080 the end of his contract from the beginning, and no, 0:40:47.160 --> 0:40:50.880 he's addressed. I just thinking Antoine Woods is a restricted 0:40:50.920 --> 0:40:53.040 free agent. Yeah, I mean, and throw tight end in 0:40:53.120 --> 0:40:57.080 there too. They there's three bugaboo spots, and I mean, 0:40:57.160 --> 0:41:00.480 Jarwin looks promising, but you still you feel kind of thing. 0:41:00.560 --> 0:41:03.839 I mean, also, you're losing Michael Bennett. He's a free agent. 0:41:03.920 --> 0:41:08.040 He's gone when as quinnep gone, Yeah, not coming back. 0:41:08.360 --> 0:41:10.440 Don't think you don't think, Oh, I think they might 0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:13.759 be willing to pay him good money, not great money. 0:41:13.920 --> 0:41:16.080 They're not gonna pay him tank money. But he's one 0:41:16.120 --> 0:41:18.520 of those it's hard to gauge. Somebody might pay him 0:41:18.920 --> 0:41:21.120 pretty good money, but at his age, you would think 0:41:21.200 --> 0:41:23.200 it's a shorter term deal. So they may be willing 0:41:23.239 --> 0:41:25.359 to pay him a significant amount on a short term 0:41:25.480 --> 0:41:27.680 two year deal, one year deal, whatever it is. Right, 0:41:28.360 --> 0:41:30.680 those guys are hard to gauge because like he's gotten 0:41:30.880 --> 0:41:34.480 his he's gotten a contract extension, like he's made big money, 0:41:35.080 --> 0:41:38.839 and so now like length of the deal, money, how 0:41:38.920 --> 0:41:40.640 much he likes the area, how much he likes the area, 0:41:40.680 --> 0:41:43.600 how much he likes the scheme, and that'll depend on coaching. 0:41:43.800 --> 0:41:45.720 And all of a sudden, we're way in the weeds. 0:41:46.600 --> 0:41:50.120 We have so much change coming soon. You didn't I 0:41:50.200 --> 0:41:51.960 didn't think so coming into this year. I thought that 0:41:52.040 --> 0:41:54.600 so much was locked up. But it really is a lot. 0:41:54.719 --> 0:41:56.440 They got a lot that they'll have a lot of 0:41:56.480 --> 0:41:58.640 decisions to make, a lot of contracts to be made, 0:41:58.760 --> 0:42:00.200 a lot of guys that they may be won to 0:42:00.280 --> 0:42:02.399 keep that they won't be able to keep. So yeah, 0:42:02.440 --> 0:42:03.880 I think it's I think it's gonna be a very 0:42:04.000 --> 0:42:06.520 very interesting offseason once you get there. And not to 0:42:06.640 --> 0:42:09.800 mention the whole cloud that's hanging over this coaching stuff, 0:42:09.880 --> 0:42:12.560 like there's a lot that's gonna be happening in this offseason. Ye, 0:42:12.880 --> 0:42:15.200 all right, we're gonna that's that's it for us. Actually, 0:42:15.760 --> 0:42:17.800 we'll be back actually done. We'll be back on with 0:42:17.840 --> 0:42:20.759 you guys tomorrow. We'll get into this Philadelphia defense. See 0:42:20.760 --> 0:42:23.880 if that sounds any better or presents any interesting problems 0:42:23.920 --> 0:42:26.360 for the Cowboys. So then for Nick Eatman, Dave Hellman, 0:42:26.400 --> 0:42:28.360 Amber Garcia, I am Derek Eagleson. This has been The 0:42:28.400 --> 0:42:35.279 Break live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.
