Well, 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.440 they've got some weapons coming to town this week against 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:08.280 this hopefully healthier Cowboys defense. Whatever the time comes around 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.720 this week, we'll still figure out a lot today where 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:12.680 it comes to the Cowboys getting back on the practice 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.440 field and seeing some injury reports on who will be 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:19.600 available coming up on Monday Night. But we are Talking Cowboys. 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.959 Heck My Harrison, Rock Phillips, Isaiah stand back, I'm Kyle's 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.640 glad you're with us and guys. I wanted to start 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.759 the show with a little bit of draft news. Of course, 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.920 the NFL Draft still about eight months away, or I 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.039 guess it's it's still a good amount of time away. 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.840 But I think there's an emerging prospect of the NFL 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.840 Draft that's in our very hometown, in our very area. 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:43.960 Because I got a text message esway from a close 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:47.120 insider whenever it comes to Dallas Cowboys draft coverage, and 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.920 it was a football game footage in a statline that 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:55.240 I saw from a local game. Heck, my Harrison's son, 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.880 Oh my gosh, you have got twenty twenty eight NFL 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.160 draft prospects on your hand. It's my friend, because this 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.520 guy just went off yesterday. He told me that stout 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:12.040 linking man, Chris Beab is too much, man, And I'm 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:16.560 echoing too, Chris, thank you. He hates to what I 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.160 do like that. But my little man had a game yesterday, man, 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.480 he had a he had a he had a game yesterday. 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:28.919 Uh well, three touchdowns, uh two kickoff returns and man 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.040 a forty five yard run. Man. So you know, I'm proud. 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:37.200 I'm that parent, I'm that parent. Do you know he's 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:44.160 not on that deer antler is he He's not on 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:51.200 that ray lewis Man, but one of the bringing that 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:54.680 up had the kick returns sent in our Talking Cowboys 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.880 group message and little Hack as we call him, was just, uh, 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.280 he was being a heck of a ruckiss what it 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:05.160 was throughout his game yesterday. So hey, congratul a little 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.280 heck and he gets a little shallot shout out to 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.000 start things off. But let's put into let's get into 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:14.400 some Cowboys news and Rob, we talked about the quarterbacks 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:18.480 signing yesterday, and uh, there's a couple of injury got 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.919 injury fronts that we need to kind of address whenever 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.480 it comes to who is available coming off of IR 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:27.200 here in the next couple of days and leading into 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.480 this week against the Arizona Cardinals. Who is the who 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:34.160 is eligible to come off of IR at the moment? 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:39.960 Is Cheeto Owoozia one of those games as well? Yes 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.520 he is. I believe he's eligible. Right it's a three 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.800 week mum, so I think he's been out for three 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:51.480 weeks at this point. Cam Irving, the offensive tackle who 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:55.200 is a possible swing tackle candidate injury training camp. Cam 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.440 Irving and I didn't say, Flaming, I said Irving, I 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:07.120 got right. Yeah, Am Irving and Layton Vanderesh are in 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.440 good shape to come back soon. I don't know if 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:13.520 it's gonna be this week, but they started their practice 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:17.719 window and Vincel Bryant did as well wide receiver last week, 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.520 so that's a good sign because they've got to be 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.760 back on the active roster within you know that twenty 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.119 one day period whence it starts, So you know, vander 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.000 esh is a guy to watch this week. We'll see. 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:31.599 McCarthy mentioned the fact that on extra day, a longer 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.839 week might help him, So maybe with a strong practice week, 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:36.720 he's got a chance to come back. But I would 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.200 look at those two, I'm not sure if he's quite 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.280 ready yet. They yet to start his clock yet, so 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.440 maybe that happens this week. We'll see. And of course 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.560 the clock that Rob is referring to twenty one days 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:52.000 following being taken off of ir put on the practicield rather, 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:53.880 is when you have to put him on the active 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:57.120 roster as a part of these new les with COVID 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.840 nineteen twenty twenty NFL season temporary rules at the moment. 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.320 But Isaiah, whenever we talk about adding a Layton vander 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.040 Esh and adding you know, a Hoosier back into the fold, 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:08.840 and even I'll throw a crick Cam Irving in there 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.599 as well, because that's been a problem spot for the 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.279 Cowboys at least throughout the course of the season. He 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:16.640 may be starting right tackle if you think, uh, Terrence 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.680 Steele is worth a demotion at least at this point. 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.160 Even I thought he had maybe his best game on Sunday. 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:25.000 But what do you what does due to a team 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:28.680 that is still kind of reeling from the Dak Prescott injury. 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:30.800 You want to build some confidence and you get some 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:36.000 guys back. I mean, it's it's all a position base, right, 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:37.480 So I don't I don't think I'm off as a 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.320 line I don't think we have anybody that's gonna be 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.960 coming off of I r M who is eligible to 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.560 play that's gonna be a huge impact, right, It's gonna 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.200 be a game change. I think those guys are all 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.360 relatively interchangeable at this point. I think they're all competing 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.000 for the same spots, so that that I don't see 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:54.880 too much of a too much of an impact at 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.760 the linebacker position. It would be nice to have lv 0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:59.960 N but I don't want them to bring him back, 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.400 can risk angry too soon. I'd rather than bring him 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.920 later then sooner, right. Um, I don't think that he 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.840 is of urgent need at this point in time. If 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.080 there's nothing that he's gonna provide to this team, now, 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.560 that's gonna that's gonna be a big while. Um. If 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.159 this defensive line doesn't decide to play ball, then the 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.920 linebackers are all void anyway. So I think the I 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.000 think they should take their time with him and get 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.880 him healthy, especially with this schedule getting a little bit 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.840 easier after this week's game. And then as you go 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:30.080 to secondary, Cheeto, if the cheetah's available to play, bring 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.160 his butt back. Because these boys got some cheetahs out here, 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.200 and they got some they got some dolls. I know 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.640 there's been a lot of talk about d Hop, but 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:39.640 these guys don't forget. There's a Hall of Famer on 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.600 the opposite side of d hop that by the name 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.360 of Fitzgerald, and you may want to keep an eye 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:48.440 on him. So these guys have three very very established 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.000 receivers um and they have a quarterback who can get 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:52.960 the ball around. So if Cheeta's available, to bring him back, 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:56.640 everybody else get him healthy. No, I agree with that, Champ. 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.360 I think that getting Cheeto would would do a lot 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:03.440 for the second there, especially with the task that they 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.839 have in front of them and DeAndre Hopkins. But you 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:10.320 start to see just little signs that the secondary they're 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.640 starting to communicate a lot better. I think that was 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.800 the number one thing that we were just questioning, is 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:20.360 their ability to communicate pass off receivers to one another 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.080 in their coverages, and so getting Cheeto back is going 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.880 to be a big value for these guys. But LV, 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.240 I'm with Isaiah on that man when it comes down 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.760 to the neck injury that he already had dealing with 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:36.160 the broken collar bone, where is his confidence? Where is 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:38.559 his mental Is he going to be the wolf hunter 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.920 like we know him to be with those injuries? So 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:46.920 I'm kind of on the part sign of caution with that, 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.600 especially with the Phoenix game. But I know going into 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.080 some of our NFC East games that we're gonna have 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:57.000 after this, he would be an added addition to to 0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.880 the defense. Yeah, with the cars coming up, I mean 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.880 you've got Kenyan Drake, You've got even Chase Edmonds in 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.160 the backfield. These are two guys that I know we'll 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.240 talk about here and just a little bit that you're 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:10.720 gonna have to keep an eye on. But really the 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.800 containment problem is Kyler Murray. And I think whenever you 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.760 have both LV and Jaln Smith and let's throw Joe 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.360 Thomas in there, if Joe Thomas wants to see playing time, 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:22.760 I think he's earned a little bit of a rotation 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.760 into that linebacking course. So I think overall, having Layton 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.320 vander esh Rob is going to free up your defense 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.800 in order to allow them to be successful against Kyler 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:37.960 Murray and in containment. Right, Yeah, And I absolutely I 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:42.959 had a question for Isaiah on that subject. As I'm 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:47.040 hearing myself talk, I think you're on the line the phone, 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:52.280 you got the phone and you're being open. Then okay, 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.600 I just muted myself. Sorry, guys, I'm all over the 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.880 place today, That's all right, Vanderesh, Yeah, you're right. I 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.120 think in terms of you know, when he's health and 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.320 Isaiah's right, you gotta be ready for him one hundred percent, 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.040 one hundred and ten percent. You don't want him to 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.560 reinjure that collarbone. They're not gonna put him out there 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.440 until that happens. I think that puts everybody back in 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.280 their spot. You know, if you put him back in 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.520 middle linebacker, he's calling the defense. I think that does 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.520 free of Jalen Smith some. But I had a question 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.880 for Isaiah in terms of we talked about spies QB 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.240 spies with Russell Wilson a couple of weeks ago, and 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.480 I'm just watching the tape of Kyler. Is that even 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.480 more of a need this week? Because I mean they 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.640 just run straight draws with him, design draws where he's 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.959 you know, he's not even thinking about an option to throw, 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.599 and what do you do with that? Can you do that? 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.640 At least some of the time. Yeah, I'm not a 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:46.480 fan of it against this type of quarterback. Like for instance, 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:50.240 like when I played a quarterback in college, right, teams 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.920 will spy me and I would look forward to it, right, 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:54.320 And when I when I knew a team was gonna 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.800 try to spy me, actually got excited because I only 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.640 have to beat one man and that that first guy's 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.839 not going to get me. So, I mean, when you 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.160 when you have that confidence, like like I'm sure that 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.360 Kyler Murray has, it's almost like a joke. It's like 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.560 Are you serious you think this one dude's gonna stop me. 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.560 So whenever you spy like that, you're you're playing man 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.040 to man coverage, right, So if you're playing man to 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.880 man coverage, then you have one guy sticking Kyler Murray. 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.760 Then you really have no man sticking Kyler Murray because 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.200 you need two guys at least to bring this guy down. So, um, 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.080 I think you have to mix it in there. But 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.199 I think you mix it in there along with your zone. 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.760 So you play a basis on defense whether there's cover three, 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.760 cover four, cover two, and then you have to bring 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:35.800 I would bring in a nickel defender depending on whatever 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.720 personnel they have, or extra dB to spy him. You 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.880 don't spy him with a linebacker. Please don't spy him 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.120 with a linebacker. Bring an extra guy in from the 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.520 secondary whose agiles all get out like a brown, like 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:50.040 a number thirty. Bring a Brown in and spy him. 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.000 He has a quickness to really be able to be 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:55.920 agile enough to stick with Kyler Murray. Yeah. I when 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.720 while going back and watching their games, especially against the Lions, 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:01.959 they did a really good job of that, bringing in 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.240 a defensive back to to do a lot of spying 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.000 on him because they do the read option and they 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.800 know that they have the ability one on one with 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:14.000 Kyler Murray that he can get out in a hurry 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.560 and those design draws that he goes on. But it's 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.679 it's almost like a repeat of the Seattle game because 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:24.960 of their skill set as quarterbacks. So the Dallas Cowperls 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.160 are definitely going to have to stay gap sound and 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:28.959 make sure they get up the field. And another thing, 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.720 because of his height on those passes, get their hands up. 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:33.760 He likes to get out of the pocket to see 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.199 the field because man, when he's standing amongst those trees, 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.480 he can't see his receivers. That's a great point because 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.880 I think early one of the they got down early 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:45.360 against I guess it was Carolina and it was a 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.640 tip pass for a pick and they kept him in 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:50.800 the pocket and forced him to try to see over 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.240 the trees, like you said. So that's that's that's key. 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.120 Gotta get your hands up and get your hands on 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.960 some balls and Kyler Murray will turn the football over. 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.680 I mean, this is this is another guy who coming 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:04.760 in leads the league and turnovers whenever. He's got six 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:08.839 interceptions and eight touchdown passes so far. Sure he has 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.040 a little bit more offensive success than maybe a Daniel 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.040 Jones did last week, but he will give you a 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:16.000 couple opportunities to take it away. Now, Isaiah, whenever you 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:19.000 talk about using a player out of the secondaries seemingly 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.199 Anthony Brown to come in and spy Kyler Murray, is 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.000 that something? And this might be the question that really 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.360 might no one in this entire defensive staff has to 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:32.120 look at going forward. But are we able to do 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.760 that in the secondary whenever we have to cover weapons 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.679 like DeAndre Hopkins, Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk out there 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:42.320 as well. I think so. I think we have enough. 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:44.679 We have We definitely have enough guys in the secondary 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.240 to fulfill all those spots. You know, you have to 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:53.240 take care of your most threatening positions, right and d 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.480 hop obviously is number one. And then you go to 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.880 Fitzgerald because you definitely can't look past a Hall of 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.480 famer who decides to keep playing for forty seven years. 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.559 He's still effective. But then you have to be able 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:06.520 to you have to keep an eye on Kyler Murray 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.240 because if you focus primarily on those guys, then you're 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:13.640 gonna get beat. I know he faces a problem along 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.600 and to say a problem, but he's challenged every week, 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.080 and with people having the same ideologies that were just 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:20.560 spoken spoken upon to say, hey, just stay, just keep 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:22.680 him in the pocket and make him throw. He's going 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.000 to continue to become a better passer, and I think 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.120 he's kind of evolving that way. He just has to 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.760 do away with some of those silly, silly decisions to 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:32.040 toss the ball up in the area from time to time. 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:37.720 Once he becomes more strategic and and protects the ball better. 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.040 I don't think he has an issue sitting in a 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.400 pocket and throwing the rock. But you can't. You can't 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.440 sit in there and just play zone against him because 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.079 these receivers are too good and our deepen as a 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.679 line hasn't presented a problem in terms of pressure, so 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.520 that doesn't really do anything for you. So you have 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.600 to try to find a way to add add some 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.240 kind of pressure and make him uncomfortable back there. But 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.040 when you do so, you have to take one of 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.400 those guys away from coming and blitzing on him because 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.160 you need somebody to watch him. So it's it's a 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.640 he presents a lot of problems man, he really does. Um. 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.800 And I could tell you, you know, as a former 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.600 quarterback who was pretty mobile, you know, you look forward 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:12.360 to those teams that, like I said, that they are 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:13.960 going to try to find a way to stop you. 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.199 It's almost, um it's a it's a challenge. It's a 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.480 direct challenge, and it's almost hysterical when you get out there. 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.960 So he's got these guys got to strap up. You're 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.120 right in that. Uh, he's a he's an accurate deep 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.200 ball thrower. And you know he struggled against you know, 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.720 the Carolina game where they had a two game losing streak. 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:32.360 He struggled in that game and I think he only 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:36.400 averaged like four yards an attempt but or completion. But um, 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.520 he took some deep shots and he and they just missed. 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:41.720 And and I think you know when they when they 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:44.360 single up in man coverage and played you know, one 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:49.040 single high safety there, they'll take some chances down field. Now, Kyle, 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.840 you mentioned Christian Kirk, and that's another Aggie I've watched 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.520 a lot. I felt like when he came out, he's 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.600 a guy that you know, may not make a Pro 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:58.400 Bowl in his career, but he's gonna play for ten 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.560 years and he's going to be successful. And you know, 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:04.000 like Isaiah said, if you tried to zone up and 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.360 play soft, he's a guy if you watch on tape, 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.240 he's gonna find holes on crossing routes and beat you 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.600 that way. So they really do have a nice receiving 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:14.960 corps and receivers that are willing to block for each 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.760 other in the running game and downfield. It's it's a 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:21.080 it's a it's a good versatile UH set of skill 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:26.440 players they got. And when you talk about Christian Kirk specifically, 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.000 I mean, this is a guy who beats you and 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:30.040 for Cowboys fans to make it easy. He beats you 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:31.560 a lot of the same ways as see the Lamb 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.640 beats defense. It goes to the open space, uses his speed. 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.480 I'm not saying he does it as efficiently as see 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.320 thee Lamb Seede. Lamb has been one of the better 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:43.040 receivers in the NFL, A doing so so far this season. However, 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:45.240 Christian Kirk does it a lot of the same way 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.640 and not as much. But he's somebody that finds open space. 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:50.880 And you talk about Larry Fitzgerald, this is an interesting 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.680 stat that I was looking up a couple of weeks ago, 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.400 and he just happened to be at the top of 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:58.040 the list when you talk about receivers who have had 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:02.560 at least one reception in each game of in a row, 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:06.200 each consecutive game. He's had two hundred and forty eight 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:10.000 straight games with a reception in the NFL that dates 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:14.600 back to November seventh, two thousand and four. Yeah, boy 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:17.320 was eight years old. I was eight years old the 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:23.840 last time that Larry Fitzgerald swaddled did not. So the 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.440 next closest one in that streak, by the way, is 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.960 Julio Jones, and he's had one hundred and twenty one 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:32.720 games without or with a reception that dates back to 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:37.080 twenty eleven. And so you talk about doubling more than doubling. 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:41.960 The second place of terms of wide receivers with the reception, 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:47.440 Larry Fitzgerald is the quote the definition of consistency. And 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.280 we'll see that again coming up here on Monday. We're 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.960 gonna step aside with our first break here on Talking Cowboys. 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.000 When we come back, we'll continue to look at how 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:58.160 do we stop these wide receivers and how does this 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:02.120 defensive line get pressure on this Cardinals offensive line when 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:06.600 we return here just a bit on talking Cowboys.

Glad you're with us on 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:22.480 Dallas Cowboys dot com. Kyle Yeoman's Rob Phillips, Heck Maharrison, 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:26.840 the Great Isaiah stand back and guys, we can we 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.440 continue to preview and break down this Cardinals offense, which 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:34.240 undoubtedly is the strength of their team, but we'll preview 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.560 the defense tomorrow. They've got some strengths over there as well. 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:38.720 One of them was just taken away though. Breaking news 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:42.800 this morning, Chandler Jones, the linebacker who really has been 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:44.520 one of the best in the league and a very 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:48.040 underrated player in terms of his production on that side 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:50.439 of the football, is out for the season to have 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:54.560 surgery on a bicep injury that he sustained in that 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:58.080 Week five win over the New York Jets. For those 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:00.639 Arizona Cardinals and Chandler Jones out for the rest of 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.280 the season, so the Cowboys do have to play in 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:05.840 around not having him on the other side of the football, 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:07.679 or at least they don't have to see him on 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:09.640 the other side of the football. So that's something that's 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:12.960 positive and not positive. You never want that to happen. 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:15.720 I take that back, not positive at all. You want 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:17.680 to beat the best, and that's not what the Cowboys 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:19.160 have a chance to do this We catch a break. 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:20.679 They do catch a break. That's a better way of 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:23.240 putting it. Whether you're watching from home or cheering in 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.440 the stands.

Of course, 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:45.760 the DeAndre Hopkins trade that happened in March and really 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:48.920 kind of caught the NFL by storm, and you pair 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:52.679 up DeAndre Hopkins with a Kyler Murray and Isaiah I 0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:54.280 know you you've been watching the film. We did a 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.879 film study breakdown yesterday. It's not just the fact that 0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:59.880 DeAndre Hopkins is a great football player, but Cliff kings 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:05.119 he puts him in some tough situations for defenses to read. Yeah, 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:08.359 this dude is creative, man. Um. I mean yeah, I 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:10.280 don't know where he's at. It reminds me of the 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:12.439 coach from the Water Boy who had that little, that 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:14.600
