Because I want to see like 13 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: the whole Like your face starts to am I asking 14 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: an awkward question. You missed me in the awkward question. 15 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: I have gotten on it. I have gotten on it. Um, 16 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: that's all say. I love it. I love it. I 17 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: am locked up. Yeah, I have no reason so, but 18 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: I would give it a try if I wasn't. But 19 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah. No, I've gotten on it. It's 20 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: it's fun. It's a really interesting concept though, I think 21 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: because the more you message, the more uns the face. 22 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: I think it's fun. It's definitely fun, but you know what, 23 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: to be honest, I just I don't have time. I 24 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: don't have time for all that right now. So we 25 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: have a we are in the thick of the season. 26 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 1: There's just so much to talk about, and uh, it's 27 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: all good stuff, all good stuff. Into the thick of it. 28 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: You're right, So let's dive in if you guys don't mind, 29 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: because listen, um, you know, the Cowboys are facing the 30 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. There's trade deadlines looming, There's a lot of 31 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: storylines going on, and I want to make sure that 32 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: we are discussing all the things. So I thought we 33 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: would dive in first and discuss the trade deadlines. Because 34 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: the Bears actually did make a move with a familiar face, 35 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: Robert Quinn was traded for a fourth round pick over 36 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: to the Philadelphia Eagles. Darn you, Howie Roseman Like I, 37 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: it's just it's very difficult for me to make fun 38 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: of your team when you start making more smart moves. Okay, 39 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: I listen, guys, I mean, if they haven't cemented themselves 40 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: as one of the front runners in the NFC, not 41 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 1: only in the NFC, but Also, I would just go 42 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: as far as to say the league, I think they 43 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: are really putting all their eggs in the basket this season, 44 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: and they're only strengthening what they've been able to bring 45 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: at the table. I mean that pass rushing. It's going 46 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: to give them a lot of versatility, and to me, 47 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: that's pretty scary. So you know, what are you what 48 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: are you guys hearing? What are your thoughts? Is that something? 49 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: I think this team has been preparing to be facing 50 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: the former, you know, temporary cowboy. He was only here 51 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: for a hot minute, but I know he makes quite 52 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: the impact. Now they don't have to face him at 53 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: least this weekend, but they will have to face him 54 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: in December. Yeah, I think the Eagles, They're strong point 55 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: has been strengthening up, strengthening up. It is been a 56 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: day their team really this entire time, and I'm not 57 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: even talking during this offseason. I think they have been 58 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: becoming stronger and stronger specifically these last two years. I 59 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: think you know, as Cowboys fans and your Cowboys side 60 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: of your Cowboys fans side of your brain, you don't 61 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: want to see that, you don't want to admit it. 62 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: But the Eagles have been good for a minute, and 63 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: I think, you know, there's a lot of talk of 64 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: are they really a threat? I think so. And I 65 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: think what makes them even more of a threat is 66 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: they have an easy schedule, and I think looking ahead, 67 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: that is the scariest part of this is, yes, they 68 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: are already a great team, but they have an easy 69 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: and very winnable schedule for the team that they have 70 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: built around Jalen Hurt specifically. So I think that when 71 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: you're looking at the long term effect of this, and 72 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: y'all know, I love me some long term thinking here, 73 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: when you're looking at the long term effect of it, 74 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: it is scary. When you're talking about, yeah, adding another 75 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: threat to that team that is still undefeated, we are 76 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: now going to be seven weeks in they're six and oh, 77 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: that is definitely scary. They're one of the bigger threats 78 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: in the NFC just in general. But then of course, 79 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: you know, leading the NFC East, you talk playoff contention, 80 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: you talk all of that. It is scary. Yeah. I 81 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: just think that Rokon's Smith's interview kind of said it 82 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: all yesterday whenever he found out in the middle of 83 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: his interview that Quinn was leaving. So when you talk 84 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: about a guy who makes an impact not just on 85 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: the player side of things, but just from an emotional 86 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: standpoint too, it really speaks volumes to the type of 87 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: player he is and the rich getting richer with the Eagles. 88 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: I mean, a three time Pro Bowl defensive and he 89 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: broke the Bears single season sack record with eighteen and 90 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: a half in twenty twenty one. So the stats are 91 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: off the record for Robert Quinn and it's kind of 92 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: frustrating that he went to the Eagles. Mike McCarthy kind 93 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: of echoed that same sentiment earlier today in his press conference. 94 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: He said, well, I was so excited for us to 95 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: find out that we wouldn't have to be facing Robert 96 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: Quinn on Sunday, only then to find out that he's 97 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: going to the Eagles, so we'll still have to see 98 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: him later. So I thought that was really good insight, 99 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 1: but just really a guy who's going to be a 100 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: difference maker on a team that's already full of difference makers. 101 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: So you obviously have to keep that spotlight on the 102 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: Eagles when it comes to facing them in a couple 103 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: of weeks. But right now, I think the challenge for 104 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys is just focusing on the Bears that's coming up, 105 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: which I know we'll break down a little bit. Yeah, 106 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: and so I think for me, I do want to 107 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: talk it more about the trade deadlines a little bit briefly, 108 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: because the Cowboys did make a move Jonathan Hankins defensive 109 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: tackle coming from the Raiders. I think it's going to 110 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: be an important addition to this team. You know, while 111 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: that is a thumbs up, I think in a lot 112 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: of people's minds and we can talk about the impact, 113 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: especially the timing, I mean, we'll go ahead and do it. 114 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: Quite honestly, I think that's a good move on this 115 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: team's part, because you know, we talk a lot about 116 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: this run defense and the need for the help to 117 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: stop up the middle. He's one of those guys that 118 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: he's been playing. He is going to be fresh legs 119 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: for us, but also he is going to help with 120 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: that run defense, which I think is so important, especially 121 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: with the time of going and facing a team that 122 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: has really reverted to leaning on the run, not just 123 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: with the the double edged sword in the backfield, but 124 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: also with their quarterback too and justin field. To me, 125 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: he was a leading Rusher last week and to me, yeah, 126 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: you're going to need all the reinforcements that you can get. 127 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,679 Speaker 1: What are you hearing Haley in terms of the locker 128 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: room and some of the reactions around the building with 129 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: the signing. I think that he has been a really 130 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: good addition. Mike McCarthy talked about you can never have 131 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: too many big men in the room, and when you 132 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: see him in person, he is a very large human. 133 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: I think we equated him yesterday to the Jason Peters 134 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: of the defense. But when you bring in a guy 135 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: who has the experience that he has ten years in 136 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: the NFL, five years with the Raiders, I think his 137 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: first four was with the Giants initially, so he knows 138 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: the division well, he knows kind of how to work 139 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: into a lineup. So from a getting on getting with 140 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: the program, so to speak, I think he brings a 141 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: lot of value. I think the guys are really excited 142 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: to have him in there as well, just to have 143 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: another leader on that side of the ball. Again equating 144 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: it back to Jason Peters, Jason's most valuable asset this 145 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: season has been that experience that he brings. And so 146 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: you bring in a guy who cannot only get the 147 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: job done, but can also lead. From that perspective, I 148 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: think it's going to be a huge benefit to taking 149 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: on a run pass option the way the Bears have 150 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: played with justin fields. So I think it just shores up. 151 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: It kind of to me, is like a band aid, 152 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: if you will, just to kind of put everything together. Yeah, 153 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, anytime you can get a 154 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: guy that can not only talk the talk, but walk 155 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: the walk, that's important. And I think especially when you're 156 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: talking in terms of adding even more depth to this defense, 157 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: it makes them scarier. I mean, the biggest, the biggest 158 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: threat that the Cowboys defense does give offenses is the 159 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: versatility and their ability to mentally confuse these offenses to 160 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: what is going on because you have so many versatile guys. 161 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: You have Michael Parsons who you don't know where that 162 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: guy's going to go, right, So anytime you can add 163 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: the versatility within this defense, it just makes them even 164 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: more of a threat than they already are. So I 165 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: and Haley knows, I'm big on this whole leadership in 166 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: the locker room thing. I'm very big on, you know, 167 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: watching mentors become mentors within this locker room. And you know, 168 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: it's such a young group of guys. I think anytime 169 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: you have a moment to make them coachable, and whether 170 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: that comes from a coach or whether that comes from 171 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: a veteran player and a leader, do it. I think 172 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: they can only learn more. And what I really enjoy 173 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: about this younger group here is they always do want 174 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: to learn more. They are constantly absorbing from each other, 175 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: from their coaches. It's just part of the culture here, 176 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: and so I think he's going to fit written. I 177 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: am all for giving dan Quinn any and all additional weapons. 178 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: I feel like he's one of those guys that he 179 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: can take a talent that you know may not be 180 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: this flashy player, but he knows how to bring out 181 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: the best in them. You know, You've got guys who 182 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: who resurrected their careers under him just last year, right, 183 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: and he brought a different element to the table. I 184 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: think he's so smart as a coach, and so, you know, 185 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: while it may not be the sexiest move, I do 186 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: feel like it's going to be impactful, and it'll actually 187 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: be a pretty immediate impact. I do want to ask 188 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: before we move on to you know, pac support and 189 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: the tools that we'll be working with this weekend when 190 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: this this Cowboys team faces the Bears in terms of 191 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: movement before the trade deadline. You know, I know, Haley, 192 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: you have been falling the team for a minute, and 193 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: you know this is your first year covering them, but 194 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: I know it's they're always kind of talk of mind. 195 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys in general becomes a free agency 196 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: and maybe not in the best way. And you, you know, 197 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: being a lifelong fan, I look at these teams that 198 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: are making some moves. You know, well, let's just talk 199 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: about the Eagles right now, assault in the wound and 200 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: you see their gms being aggressive. Let's just call out 201 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: what it is, right and the Yeah, I was like, 202 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 1: who's sending them dms? Y'all stop aggressive ms. I was like, 203 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, like, y'all no. But I feel like, do 204 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: you at all feel like this Cowboys team, you know, 205 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: is not doing enough, Like maybe they're not putting themselves 206 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: in a position to give their coaching staff or give 207 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: their team the fighting chance that maybe they deserve. Like 208 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: I think wide receivers an area that a lot of 209 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: people have been talking about that could use some help. Like, yes, 210 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: everyone is excited that Noah Brown has been able to 211 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: step up and be as good as he has been. Right, 212 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: was that necessarily expected, not at least externally, but even so, 213 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: like Noah Brown being good and Michael Gallup, you know, 214 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 1: stepping into the role that he's stepping into, I look 215 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: at like a ceedee lamb, and again he is good. 216 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: I don't think that he brings that super incredible freak 217 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: dynamic aspect to an offense that terrifies O their defenses. 218 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: And because of that, you know, I can't help but 219 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: think about maybe they should be more serious about looking 220 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: at obtaining someone to help in that wide receiver role 221 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: before the trade deadline deadline hits, like or am I crazy? 222 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: I think? Well, we talked a little bit about it yesterday. 223 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: It's really challenging to gauge where this offense is because 224 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: they've missed their play caller for five weeks, six weeks, 225 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: whatever it's been. So when you talk about evaluating the 226 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: way these wide receivers have played, the theme this year 227 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: is resiliency, and I think that they've done just that. 228 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: They haven't really had an opportunity to show what they 229 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: can do with their quarterback because their quarterback is just 230 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: coming back, and so it's really difficult to determine, Okay, 231 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: are my wide receivers not producing because of the circumstances 232 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: that we've been dealt, or are my wide receivers not 233 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: producing the way I want them to simply because they're 234 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: not there yet. And so the challenge that I'm glad 235 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: I'm not a part of the front office for in 236 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: this is trying to make that decision before that deadline 237 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: next week, right because I think what Sunday represents is 238 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: that not quite an audition, but just you know that 239 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 1: that final look before you say okay, look like the 240 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: equation that we have right now is it's just it's 241 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: not working. We're gonna have to add something else. I'm 242 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: sure this is something where they're having conversations where you 243 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: know they're not gonna be out of the loop in 244 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: that regard. But you have to give the offense an 245 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: opportunity to be the Cowboys offense, and we just haven't 246 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: had a chance to see that. There were glimpses of 247 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: it with Dak coming back last Sunday against the Lions, 248 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: but even still he talked about it. He was rusty, 249 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: he was making decisions, he wouldn't normally make because he 250 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: just wasn't there yet. So I think, as tough as 251 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: it is, you have to give them an opportunity on 252 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: Sunday to show up and show out, and then when 253 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: they don't meet expectations, If they don't meet expectations, that's 254 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: when you kind of go to the drawing board and say, Okay, 255 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: look we gave it a try. Let's bring someone else in. 256 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: We need a catalyst. Yeah, And I think with that too, 257 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: I agree completely. I think it's it is difficult. This 258 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: team is in a very unique position having lost Dak 259 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: when they did and then having him return now right 260 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 1: before that trade deadline, because this would be a very 261 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: different conversation if Dak was in the entirety of the 262 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: season so far and you essentially get to see what 263 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: you're working with a little bit more. But because you 264 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: haven't had your starting quarterback, which we've talked about this, 265 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: it's just it's going to look very different than it 266 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: did with Cooper Rush. People are going to play differently 267 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: than they did with Cooper Rush. And you know, I 268 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: think it's very difficult to, like you said, Hayley Gauge, 269 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: where the offense is as a whole right now, and 270 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: that just comes from not having your starting quarterback in 271 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: this amount of time. Oh my goodness, I'm struggling today, everybody. 272 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: But I also think if they want to stick with 273 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: the mentality of the younger guys stepping up and taking 274 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: advantage of the opportunities, you stick with that. I think 275 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: you can't have your cake and eat it too. I 276 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: think that's something that's been echoed even since training camp started, 277 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: was you know, all the coaches saying, hey, we have 278 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: all these young guys. They need to step up, they 279 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: need to grab their opportunities when you take them that 280 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: next man up mentality. So I think if that's what 281 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: you're sticking with, then you stick with it. But of course, 282 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: like we talked about yesterday, if there is a weapon 283 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: offensive weapon ready, that makes sense and it would just 284 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: add value and you can do it, sure, But again 285 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: that's if that's if that's an option, and if it's not, 286 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: then you really rely on these younger guys to step up, 287 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: show you who they are, show you what this team 288 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: is going to look like, not just for the rest 289 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: of the season, but really for the rest of the 290 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: entirety of their career. As a Dallas Cowboy. Well, let's 291 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: if we talk about the guys that are in the 292 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: building that will be hopefully making an impact come this 293 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: weekend practice report. There are some changes, and I think 294 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: there are some things that are worth highlighting. I think, 295 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: you know, taking Dak officially off is great. Everyone loves 296 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 1: that good news. A few changes that I personally made me, 297 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, they were a little eye opening. 298 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons was officially limited with a shoulder. He was 299 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 1: listened today for the first time this week on the 300 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: injury report. You know, going into a Thursday. I don't 301 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: love seeing that so late in the week. But again 302 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: that being Micah Parsons, I'm not sure I'm as concerned 303 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: because I'm pretty sure the man could have like half 304 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: of an arm length daggling off of him and he'd 305 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: be like, I'm playing like DQ, like I need more reps. 306 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: Put the line in a cage literally. So there's that, 307 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: and there's Sam Williams again, another guy on the defensive 308 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: side of the ball that did not play at all. 309 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: I mean, what are you hearing, Haley in terms of 310 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: those two guys, And we should honestly talk about Ezekiel 311 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: Elliott too, because he wasn't even playing yesterday. He was 312 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: on the chords today, which we all know at this 313 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: point being on the chords as a move in the 314 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: right direction. But is it worth him getting on the 315 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: field this weekend against a team like this when you 316 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: know we probably still this organization could be thinking about 317 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: the long term longevity if you will. Yeah, I think 318 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: Sam Williams was a surprise to me. I didn't recognize 319 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: that he wasn't out there until the practice report came 320 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: out about an hour ago. So it's certainly something that 321 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: we will I'm sure dive in first thing when we 322 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: hear from Mike tomorrow morning. So I think that that 323 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: will be something to pay attention to. And who else 324 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: did you ask me about? Mica? Oh? Mica? Yeah? Again, 325 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: with Mica, it's just so tricky because he's got so 326 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: much energy and he's so nonchalant about everything that I'm 327 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: sure him being on the practice side of or not 328 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: practicing or being limited is just their way of saying like, look, dude, 329 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: like you've got arrests, Like we've got one more week 330 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: to get to the BUYE week, chill out, Like if 331 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: it's bothering you we're okay. He's even said, you know, 332 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: like I won't practice all week, but I'll still get 333 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: in the game type thing. So I think with Mica, 334 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: I don't know that it warrants a microsope, so to speak. 335 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: The Sam Williams thing is interesting to me. And as 336 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: far as Zeke goes, Zeke kind of falls into that 337 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: same line I think as Dak with a little less restriction. 338 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: You know, Zeke is always go bo bo bobo. He 339 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: even said yesterday, you know, like, I don't care if 340 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: I'm banged up, put me in the game. That's what 341 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: I'm here for. I'm not soft. And so again you 342 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: have to teeter that balance between coaching staff medical staff 343 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: saying right, maybe not this week, but you know, who knows, 344 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: maybe he is feeling well. I will say he did 345 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: look a lot better when he walked out to the field. 346 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: There was not a limp, There was no sort of 347 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: noticeable handicap. So that's progress. But you know, only these 348 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: guys know how they feel. So and I think, you know, 349 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: we we have given kudos to coach McCarthy for keeping 350 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: that constant conversation going when it comes to an injury 351 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: and when you're thinking you know in the long term effect. 352 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: Here I go again, long term take a shot every 353 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: time I talk about long term. But the bye week's 354 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: right after, right, So even if you sit Zeke for 355 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: this game, most of the locker room questions today to 356 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: even CD and DAK and even Zach Martin were hey, 357 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: if Tony Pollard needs to take more of a workload, 358 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: can he handle that? All of them said yes, confidently, sure, 359 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: as they should because you say, yesterday, if something about 360 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:05,239 Speaker 1: the Hall, if it's the Cally, yeah, that's great now 361 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 1: And I think you know again, Tony Pollard is a 362 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: player that you're talking about. Oh what about Zeke? What 363 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: about Zeke? I understand, I understand why Zeke and Tony 364 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: are that one two punch, like Jane likes to say 365 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: all the time, I get it. But also you have 366 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: a locker room full of guys ready to step up. 367 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard is no different, ready to step up when 368 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: he needs too. He's ready to have his number called 369 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: and really take more of that workload. Of course we 370 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: know the difference between him and Zeke and the run game, 371 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: but also it is it is a better position to 372 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: be in right now than later on. If you play 373 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: Zeke this week. He's not fully ready, not one hundred percent. 374 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: You have to think of the long term effect of 375 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: a lingering injury, and I think that's kind of you know, 376 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: where you teeter is it worth it. I'm personally okay 377 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: with having Zeke sit this weekend for Sunday's game because 378 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: I think it's it's better to rest him now. And 379 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: with the bye week right now, you get two full 380 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: weeks of rest. You don't even just get one. So 381 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: sit him, allow him to rest. But I know Zeke 382 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 1: is the kind of player that's like, no, I'm gonna play. 383 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play. But again, that's why I really appreciate 384 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's culture here and you know, having that constant 385 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: conversation to be like all right, maybe not so all right, Well, 386 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 1: we are going to break down who is going to 387 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,959 Speaker 1: play this weekend and what that might look up at 388 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: least matchup wise, go ahead and stay with us.

I'm such a 437 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: sucker for all of that. But speaking to sucker Jonah 438 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: S Fillers post anyway, Okay, past interference time. You're Dallas. 439 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 1: Cowboys are fifteen and twelve in the regular season and 440 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: playoff games versus the Bears all time. Within those twenty 441 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: seven meetings, the Cowboys have an average of two point 442 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,959 Speaker 1: five touchdowns a game. However, the Cowboys high scoring game 443 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 1: against the Bears was actually on December fourth, twenty fourteen, 444 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: where the score was forty one to twenty eight. So 445 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: I would love to see the Cowboys offense come out 446 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: with forty one points during this game. Forty two we'll 447 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 1: say forty two for good measures. Let's go ahead and 448 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: marry us. Thank you. Jesse. Well, we'll talk about the 449 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: Cowboys offense here more momentarily, but I do want to 450 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: dive into this Bears offense first, because I mean, listen, 451 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: they have been struggling. I feel like I have some 452 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: thoughts about Ohio State quarterbacks in the league and how 453 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: well they do or well they don't do, which is 454 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: really sad because like half my family went to Ohio States, 455 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: so I feel like I can actually speak on the topic. 456 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: But justin Fields, let's just face it, he struggled, and 457 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: some of it could be his own doing and some 458 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 1: of it could be the fact that he doesn't have 459 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: guys around him. So you know, I look at their 460 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: head coach, Matt Eberflus, he was a linebackers coordinator and 461 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: coach here in Dallas for a minute. Love him, big 462 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: fan of him personally. Obviously again very defensive minded, so 463 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: you can you could probably look at that as to 464 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why they haven't led with an 465 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: offense first mentality, and it has been again largely beyond 466 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: the other side of the ball. I do think that 467 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: this team, and it's been reported they have looked towards 468 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and the Ravens and kind of dare I say, 469 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: stolen their strategy a little bit, if you will, made 470 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: Fields more of a mobile quarterback, leaned into that aspect 471 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: of him, and again, like he's one of your leading rushers. 472 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: This past week they went ahead and beat the Patriots, which, 473 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: while Tom Brady isn't there anymore, I'm never going to 474 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: scoff at beating a coach like Belichick, right Like, you 475 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: just know he overprepares for everything. So I guess for me, 476 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: you know, I look at this as the strength they 477 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,239 Speaker 1: gets strength. It's going to be an interesting matchup in 478 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: terms of their run game versus this Cowboys defense. They 479 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: reinforce the interior with that defensive tackle. Micah Parsons probably 480 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 1: will have the opportunity now to keep his hand off 481 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: of the ground, which I think is always a positive thing. 482 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: But you know, Haley in preparation for this week, like, 483 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: what is the mindset of dan Quinnon, this defense as 484 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: they look at Dare I say, I don't want to 485 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: say dynamic, but it is an evolving offense that they 486 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: are having to game plan and scheme against that doesn't 487 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: really necessarily have an identity, but they have figured out that, Hey, 488 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: this part of our offense, the run game specifically, is 489 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: working for us. Well, go back to the Eagles game. 490 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: I think that the Eagles game is a perfect blueprint 491 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 1: for what this is going to look like to a 492 00:23:55,280 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: degree now the Bears are polishing right. One win over 493 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: a quality opponent I don't think equates six wins for 494 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: the Eagles, right. But at the same time, it's it's 495 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: good for the Cowboys because they have that experience playing 496 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: against the RPO. Like we talked about earlier, it's no 497 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: secret that if there is a weakness to the defense, 498 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: it's the run game going against. So I think when 499 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: you bring in a guy like Hankins, that's really what 500 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: you bring them in for. You bring that experience in. 501 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 1: It gives an opportunity to have a better rotation a 502 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 1: lot of the things that guys always say as fresh 503 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: legs is always better than tired legs, So you add 504 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,479 Speaker 1: that into the mix. But I really just think this 505 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: is another opportunity for the Cowboys defense to be challenged 506 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: and then hopefully overcome that challenge. This team has really 507 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: thrived this year again keying in on that word resiliency, 508 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: and for a while it was the underdog mentality. I 509 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: think that got annoying for them after a while. But 510 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: just keying in on that underdog mentality and going in 511 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: and knowing that they're better and they talk about that 512 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: in the locker room. They know, you know, you have 513 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: to put respect on their name. DeMarcus Lawrence even did 514 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: it in their previous in his locker room view the 515 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: week of the Eagles, whenever everyone was asking him, you know, 516 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,239 Speaker 1: what is the threat of Jalen Hurts, like what has 517 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: he done this year to be aggressive? And Tank said 518 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: no, no no, no, no no no no. What have we done 519 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,239 Speaker 1: for teams to prepare for us on defense? I think 520 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: it's that same mentality going into this one. Sure, Justin 521 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: Fields is a threat. They're looking at Justin Fields as 522 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 1: a ball carrier, not that they're not looking at him 523 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, but Mike McCarthy told us earlier 524 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,959 Speaker 1: he's a ball carrier, and that's how they're preparing for 525 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: him is as a ball carrier. He's been sacked twenty 526 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: seven times this season, so that boats well for a 527 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: defense that has the most sacks in the league. Its 528 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: defensive is like salivating at that stat line exactly. So 529 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: I think there's an opportunity for us some guys to 530 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: really step up, guys like Micah to light up the 531 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: stat sheet. We've been He's been quietly doing well, but 532 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: from a stats perspective, it hasn't been screaming the way 533 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: it was at the very beginning. So I think you're 534 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 1: going to hopefully see some guys really polish it up 535 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: because they've got nothing to lose, right the bye week 536 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,239 Speaker 1: comes on Sunday. Give it your all, and then you've 537 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: got a week to rest. And so I actually got 538 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: this stat from Mike Poland, a fellow BTVR of mine. 539 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: He tweeted this out earlier. He said, the Bears have 540 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: scored ten points per game in the red zone this season. 541 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 1: That's the third worst. The Cowboys have allowed seven point 542 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: six points per game in the red zone this season, 543 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: the best in the NFL. So interesting stat there. But 544 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: what I did want to mention about the Bears specifically 545 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: is last week they had a great run game. I mean, 546 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the stats here from I say, last week, 547 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: I mean Monday. Yeah, hello, it's always oh wait, Monday 548 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,959 Speaker 1: night games really throw you off. But you look at 549 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: their game against the Patriots. They had a total of 550 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty three rushing yards and you know, 551 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: not bad. That's not bad at all because you're looking 552 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: at who did that? Justin fields and then during their 553 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: press conference this week, they talked about riding the hot 554 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: hand with two running backs, so they're trying to establish 555 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 1: that one to punch themselves with their running backs, both 556 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert, who both had sixty two 557 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: rushing year, they're averaging Montgomery averaging four point one yards 558 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: per carry and then Herbert averaging five point two yards 559 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: a carry. So you look at that that that's a 560 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: big threat, especially when you're talking about the Cowboys defense 561 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: and you know them not being the most efficient when 562 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: it comes to the run. Stop right. But but again 563 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: you add you talk about adding the depth, adding all 564 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: of that. I think what was interesting is Justin Field 565 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: was asked about, you know, the Cowboys defense in general, 566 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: and he kind of was asked, hey, you know what 567 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: did you notice how the Eagles helped slow down Mica 568 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: specifically talking about Micah Parsons, And he really went in 569 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: there to say, you know, like Mike is still a threat. 570 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: Don't think he's not. He didn't really answer, I think, 571 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, does anyone have an answer? That's kind of silly, 572 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: But but he did talk about, you know, MICA's quickness 573 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: is a threat and he's able to go into the 574 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: pass rush there's a threat. But um, I think what's 575 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: interesting going into this game is I don't necessarily think 576 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: it can be a trap game. I just think it's 577 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: one of those games that is the perfect setup to 578 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: see first of all, how the Cowboys defense has improved 579 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 1: since the Eagles game, and two how the Cowboys offense 580 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,239 Speaker 1: is starting to jail more with Dak. I think this 581 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: is the perfect game for that. Well. I want to 582 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: give the Cowboys defense a little bit more credit too, 583 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 1: because I mean, listen, like, the Eagles are no joke, 584 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 1: so I'm you know, I think it's to be expected 585 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: that they presented a pretty significant challenge for this team. 586 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 1: Likes it is what it is like sometimes that just 587 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,959 Speaker 1: happens in this game of football, right, But I do 588 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 1: want to actually ask y'all a question because I do 589 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: think the Justin Fields factor. I'm gonna go ahead and 590 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: call it that. That's kind of funny. It's not necessarily 591 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: a factor, but like it could be. It was last 592 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,959 Speaker 1: game right where he is, like you said, operating more 593 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,959 Speaker 1: as a ball carrier. But I feel like there's two 594 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: different schools of thought when it comes to quarterbacks being 595 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: mobile and rushing. Right when you have you talk about 596 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: like the life cycle of a quarterback, and I feel 597 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: like a lot of them come in and they have 598 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: a bit of like a ramp up period right where 599 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: it's like maybe guys like Aaron Rodgers have the chance 600 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: to learn behind a Brett Farve or and then take 601 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: over eventually the same thing like Dak had a chance 602 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: to do that. And I look at when they first 603 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: get on the field. There are people that are saying, oh, well, 604 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: when Dak first started for us, he's very Russell Wilson esque. 605 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: You know, he can run the ball a little bit 606 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: blah bla blah blah blah. But now as he's matured 607 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: in his career, it's less and less encouraged for him 608 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: to be running the ball. And it's like, hey, listen, 609 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: like you need to be running the office from inside 610 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: the pocket. Stop putting your body out there. We've seen 611 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: what's happened when you do potentially put yourself on the line, 612 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,479 Speaker 1: and we need you more than that, not even just 613 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: the threat of losing him. But I think there's like 614 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: this mentality of once you hit a certain point in 615 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: your career as a quarterback, that you shouldn't be running 616 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: the ball as much and you should instead be really 617 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: truly driving the bus so that all the other players 618 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: and your team can So do you guys feel like 619 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: you look at the quarterbacks when they rush as a 620 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: positive thing or are you feeling like, I mean, listen, 621 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: like they need to kind of do their job and 622 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: that's not necessariet I think it's a little bit of both, right, 623 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: Because when you are a mobile quarterback, your sustainability might 624 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: not be for as long, so that's always a concern. 625 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: But at the same time, if you're a mobile quarterback, 626 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: that just adds to the tools in your toolbox. So 627 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: if your ability to sit in the pocket, roll to 628 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: your right, you're scanning, you see there's nothing going on. 629 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what makes justin Fields so tough, right 630 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: is his passing is getting better, it's improving every week. 631 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: But what makes him scary is that it will. I 632 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: think against the Patriots, there was three times where I 633 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: looked up and it was like third and twenty two 634 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: and he you know the rush is coming. He scrambles, 635 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: he's out of the pocket, he's scanning, no one's there, 636 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: and then he just takes off running and he's not 637 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: afraid to take a hit. I think Jalen Hurts is 638 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: very similar to that. Daniel Jones is very similar to that. 639 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: They're not afraid to put their bodies on the line. 640 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: So from a now standpoint, absolutely, I think you want 641 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: your quarterback to be able to at least consider making 642 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: those risky moves now if it's hurting you. There was 643 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: an instance against the Steelers last week, or I guess 644 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football where Tua, who has been in 645 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: the spotlight for concussions this season, takes off running lowers 646 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: his shoulder before being tackled, and so obviously, like those 647 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: are situations where sure, I don't want my quarterback doing that, 648 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: But if your quarterback is extending drives, is keeping your 649 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: offense alive and keeping the defense off the field to rest, sure, 650 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: I want them to move. Now Again, long term, it's 651 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,479 Speaker 1: not gonna love Bode very well. It's really difficult. I mean, 652 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: when you think about even running backs and how difficult 653 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: it is to keep running backs in the league for 654 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: as long as they have in the past. It's a 655 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: double edged sword. But that's just my thoughts. Yeah, and 656 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: I think it's more than just there's so much more 657 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: to it than just the quarterback deciding to run right, like, 658 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: you have to think of the team as a whole, 659 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: the offense as a whole. You have to think about 660 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: how is the O line holding up? Is the O 661 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: line able to help the quarterback do that? Are your 662 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: receivers open? But more than more importantly is the scheme working? 663 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: Because if that scheme is not working for an offense, 664 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: you're not going to have a mobile quarterback. So I 665 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: think it's a bit of layers when it comes to 666 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: having a more mobile quarterback. I think in terms of Dak, 667 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: would I like to see him run more? Of course, 668 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: but also do I remember how the ankle injury happened? Yeah? 669 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: I do, and that I think, you know, always scares 670 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: me a little bit more with I don't want to 671 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: call it a vulnerability with Dak because obviously he's overcome 672 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: that and we've seen that, but also it makes me 673 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: a little nervous, you know, anytime a player has a 674 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: former injury, it makes me a little nervous watching it. Personally, 675 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: I'm not a medical professional. I fully have trust in 676 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: the medical department with the Cowboys and these surgeons like obviously, 677 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: but I think just around the NFL in general, when 678 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: a player has had a previous injury. It's always something 679 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: that you keep an eye on. So Dak was asked 680 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,239 Speaker 1: today about it. Hey, people wanted to see you move 681 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: a little bit more, and he's like, well, if I 682 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: have to, I'm going to, right. But I don't think 683 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: that's the scheme necessarily of this offense as a whole. 684 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: I think it's more relying on the one two punch 685 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: from Tony Pollard and Ezekiel all yet, and you know, 686 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: maybe this week we get to see what it's like 687 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 1: a little bit a little bit less without the one 688 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: two punch and you get to see more of that 689 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: high tank. I do think it is interesting, though, when 690 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: you talk about that one two punch, because you know, 691 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: it used to be the mentality of this league where 692 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: you had a bell cow you know, when Zeke first 693 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: came in for us, like it was Zeke's your guy. 694 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: And I think the Cowboys were earlier on the train 695 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: of transitioning over to this dynamic backfield where you not 696 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: only have two different options, but you have different styles. 697 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: And you know, I look at the Bears and you 698 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier that to me is pretty concerning because you know, 699 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: not only are they producing a decent chunk of yards, 700 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: but they're also productive each time they touch the ball. 701 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: And you know, I give a lot of kudos to 702 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: what we've been able to do in the run game, 703 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: but even looking at the Bears stats, like they're averaging 704 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: more yards per carry each time they touch the ball. 705 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: So to me, you know, I think it was imperative 706 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: that this defense really honed it on trying to at 707 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: least I'll call it stop the bleeding when it comes 708 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,439 Speaker 1: to defending the run game. With that, you know, move 709 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: in terms of bringing in the defensive tackle more so 710 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 1: than I would call it actually like putting us in 711 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 1: a position where that's not gonna be a problem for 712 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 1: us anymore. So, all right, guys, well, I do want 713 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: to break down the other side of the ball here, 714 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: So we're gonna go ahead and take our final break. 715 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna break down the Bears defense in the Cowboys offense. 716 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 1: Worlds are gonna tack a little special teams. Kelsey might 717 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: get a little trigger, but we're gonna do it. So 718 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: go ahead and stay with us.

She's so sweet. All right, 768 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 1: So let's go and dive into Bears defense for this 769 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,800 Speaker 1: Cowboys offense. We were talking a little offline here, Haley. 770 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna actually just go ahead and let you take 771 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: the mic on that, because you had a couple of 772 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,400 Speaker 1: interesting points when looking at you know, at least's breakdowns 773 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 1: in terms of stat wise, where some opportunities may lie 774 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,240 Speaker 1: for this Cowboys offense to exploit what this Bears defense 775 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 1: is bringing to the table. Sure, so, from an overall 776 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: defensive standpoint, make sure I'm reading the right numbers here. 777 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: They're ranked twelfth in the league. They allow about an 778 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,759 Speaker 1: average of three hundred and thirty yards per game, just 779 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,839 Speaker 1: total yardage. And it's very interesting too. These defenses look 780 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 1: very similar between the Cowboys and the um I almost 781 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: said the Cowboys and the Cowboys, the Cowboys and the Bears, 782 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 1: where they're passing defense, very good run defense could use 783 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 1: a little work. The Bears run de fence is tied 784 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,280 Speaker 1: for twenty ninth in the league, but they're passing offense third, 785 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,320 Speaker 1: Cowboys are right behind them and fourth. So it's interesting 786 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 1: that we spoke about at the top of the show 787 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 1: where those opportunities could lie. Do you sit Zeke, do 788 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 1: you play him? Whatever it is, is this to Tony 789 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 1: Pollard game, And I think that this really bodes well 790 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 1: for a Tony Pollard I don't want to say breakout game. 791 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,800 Speaker 1: Say I don't think he has to earn a breakout. 792 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,839 Speaker 1: He's already had that this season alone. But it gives 793 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: you an opportunity to really exploit that. Right, if we're 794 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 1: not going to have Zeke available, we'll sure. Let's let's 795 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: do the TP play and let's have him in. Let's 796 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: get him creative, let's use him on the ground, like 797 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 1: he talked about being dynamic, not just making runs on 798 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,839 Speaker 1: the outside, but going through the middle. The way we've 799 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: seen Zeke do in his run, so good opportunity for 800 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: him to stand out. I think also some of the 801 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 1: other running backs in the room that can be elevated, 802 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: Molie Davis, guys like that who haven't quite seen their 803 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: opportunities yet, but this could be a good chance for them. Again, 804 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,359 Speaker 1: this is all contingent upon if Zeke doesn't play, which, 805 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: by the way, a stat I read earlier, Zeke has 806 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 1: only missed one game in his whole entire career, so 807 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 1: if he misses on Sunday, it'll be just the second. 808 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 1: So something that is, yeah, something interesting to pay attention 809 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 1: to within seven years. That is insane that you're running 810 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 1: back to. That's pretty that's very Jason Wittens. You know, 811 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 1: when you think of a guy that just never missed 812 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 1: a game an opportunity, that's the first person I think of. 813 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 1: But we've talked about this, Zeke's grid, Zeke's determination to 814 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: be on that field. This is absolutely insane. But well, 815 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 1: can I ask you just about the fact that I 816 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: know you guys, you know, watched last week's game and 817 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: Dak I think had a couple of moments where there 818 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 1: was maybe a little bit of Russ had we knocked off, 819 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 1: and I think me personally, I felt like this is 820 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: a good time frame. And again, God bless you Cooper 821 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: Rush for giving this team the flexibility to allow Dak 822 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: to come back when he did, because this is a 823 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 1: good couple of games bookend with the bye for him 824 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: to be able to just ease into it. So do 825 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: you feel like this is the game for him where 826 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 1: he does have this opportunity and it is going to 827 00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 1: be where he's like, Okay, yeah, I have my legs 828 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,880 Speaker 1: underneath me, like I got my guys back. Even if 829 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 1: Zeke isn't going to be you know, full go or 830 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 1: if he doesn't even play at all, like this is 831 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 1: where he makes that transition back into like being his 832 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 1: full self again. Yeah, you know, I think really you 833 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,399 Speaker 1: saw the best of Dak towards the end of the game. 834 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: I talked about the ninth drive of the Lions game 835 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 1: being Dak's best, you know drive of the game. I 836 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: think you started to see that rust really shake off 837 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 1: that second half. I think this is the game that 838 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,879 Speaker 1: you're going to see maybe a more pass heavy Dak 839 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,879 Speaker 1: than last week, especially if you know Zeke is out. 840 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 1: You definitely could see that. But I think the rust 841 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: is off. I don't think that's a question anymore. I 842 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 1: think the word rust is going to slowly fade out 843 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,720 Speaker 1: after this game, Um, you know. And I think Dak knows, 844 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 1: you know, he was a little too ahead of himself 845 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 1: at points and he was being a little risky, but 846 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 1: he's like, hey, I saw the opportunity, Like that's that's 847 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: what it is, you know. So I think Dak and 848 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,840 Speaker 1: rust shouldn't even be in the same sentence anymore. I 849 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,399 Speaker 1: think if anybody's coming back with a punch, it's Dak, 850 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 1: and I think you already did that. I think this 851 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 1: first game with the Lions, sure getting your feedback on 852 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: the ground. I think this game is especially with the 853 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 1: opportunities opportunities he has with this game, it's gonna be great. 854 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 1: But something I do want to make sure to mention 855 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: two is the Bears kicker Santos was the NFC Special 856 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: Teams Player of the Week because he actually made four 857 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 1: field goals against Patriots. I don't know if y'all saw it, 858 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: twenty three yards, thirty eight yards, forty two yards, and 859 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:30,880 Speaker 1: fifty yards. He has a perfect eleven field goal streak going. 860 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:32,880 Speaker 1: Are you asking me to go ahead and like defend 861 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 1: Brett maher and be like, but Brett mah against him. 862 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,800 Speaker 1: But but I'm just saying, that's quite the pickle. I 863 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 1: hope you realize that. Yes, no, no, no no, no, look, 864 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 1: I'm just saying the special teams is everything. We talk 865 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:46,920 Speaker 1: about this all the time. You can't sleep on special 866 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:48,840 Speaker 1: teams on either side of the ball here. But what 867 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,279 Speaker 1: I'm my point making is the Cowboys defense. The goal 868 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: needs to be to keep them away from even field 869 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 1: goal area. I don't want any field goal tries here. 870 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:00,960 Speaker 1: And you know what if I do, I want that 871 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,880 Speaker 1: eleven field goal streak to be broken for this player. 872 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 1: But speaking special teams, got to catch up with Kavante 873 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,719 Speaker 1: Turpin my pet cat today in the locker room, of course, 874 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: asked him, Hey, what's up with these backflips? And he 875 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 1: talked to the media about that yesterday. Just see, you 876 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 1: know Cowboys Nation, if the Cowboys hit victory formation, he's 877 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: going to add a backflip every single time. So if 878 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: they hit victory formation, you know during Sunday's game, you'll 879 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 1: see two backflips. I love to see that. I've also 880 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,040 Speaker 1: like kind of a little nervous about I don't want 881 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: any injuries because we're being fun, right, you know what 882 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 1: I mean. Like in the training camp, I was always like, 883 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 1: get off those little scooter things. Guys like I did 884 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 1: not like to see that so risk adverse over here. 885 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,319 Speaker 1: But it was interesting too because he talked about how 886 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,759 Speaker 1: he had a background in gymnastics, Yeah, which I think 887 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,440 Speaker 1: that's where you see a lot of the quickness in 888 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: the strength coming in because former gymnasts like leaders, Yeah, 889 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 1: you have a different kind of body skill set when 890 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 1: it comes to being fast and having those movements. I 891 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,239 Speaker 1: think it kind of clicked him. My brain was like, 892 00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,560 Speaker 1: it makes sense. He has a gymnastics that grounds up. 893 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: It all makes sense. I do think just in general, 894 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 1: like this Cowboys offense really does need to you know, 895 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 1: show up and really exercise all the options they have. 896 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,439 Speaker 1: You need TP at his best. You need these tight 897 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 1: ends to be tight ending. It's kidding, but like, seriously, 898 00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,799 Speaker 1: I really do think that this Cowboys offense they have 899 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 1: been good. I think they need to really level up 900 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 1: a little bit. And I think bringing Backdack in the 901 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,759 Speaker 1: mix gives them less of an excuse to not be 902 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 1: operating at you know, a certain level. And I think 903 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,839 Speaker 1: it's a perfect game to really truly try to dive 904 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,320 Speaker 1: in and get their legs up beneath them. Again, defense 905 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 1: is going to be massively important blocking that run game. 906 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 1: It's going to be huge. So I don't know if 907 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 1: I've called a trap game. I think this league, you know, 908 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 1: you can regress to the mean, and you have teams 909 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 1: that'll be incredible and beat the Patriots like they just did, 910 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,080 Speaker 1: but then they can turn around and have an awful 911 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 1: game the next week. So I kind of go either way. 912 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,000 Speaker 1: Like you said, Tank, you know, takes every single game seriously, 913 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,400 Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be the key for them. So, guys, 914 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 1: that is all we have time for today. We really 915 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:09,719 Speaker 1: do appreciate you joining us for Hayley Sutton justinvars. We 916 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,360 Speaker 1: got Jazzy on the board in the back. We got 917 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:12,799 Speaker 1: to make sure we talk about her too, and our 918 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,359 Speaker 1: incredible production team.
