Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for
Speaker 1: a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Ready for a break? Yeah, And so much for that.
Speaker 1: It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: wall with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and
Speaker 1: Derek Eagleton. It is Thursday, November sixteenth, twenty seventeen, Season thirteen,
Speaker 1: Episode number seventy seven, seventy seven. Welcome to another edition
Speaker 1: of The Break. We're locking the s WBC Mortgage studios
Speaker 1: at the Star. I've got a lot to get into today.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk a little bit about Zeke Elliott and
Speaker 1: maybe the last time we have to talk about Zeke
Speaker 1: for a while. We'll catch you up on what's latest there.
Speaker 1: We'll also get into some injuries talk and some players
Speaker 1: at miss practice yesterday and the possibilities of them missing
Speaker 1: the game this week. Episode seventy seven. Huh is that
Speaker 1: fitting you know? Oh? Yeah? Yeah, good level? Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: on year level now. Okay, And then we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about the Philadelphia Philadelphia Eagle defense. Dave, I'm sure you
Speaker 1: have your scouttering report. Ready, Nick and Amber will catch
Speaker 1: you guys up on what they think are the most
Speaker 1: interesting things about this defense. Uh. And so we got
Speaker 1: a lot that we want to get into. Let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and jump right in and let's talk about Ezekiel Elliot. First. Um,
Speaker 1: yesterday we find out that he has decided to forego
Speaker 1: his appeal and has decided he's going to accept the
Speaker 1: the the the suspension, the sixth game to full six
Speaker 1: game suspension. Um it. I guess the question to you guys,
Speaker 1: I guess there's two parts of this question. One is
Speaker 1: do you think it's the right decision? And number two,
Speaker 1: do you think that maybe he should have done this
Speaker 1: back at the beginning of the season. Is it that
Speaker 1: simple to be able to say that for another person?
Speaker 1: What do you guys think? I don't know what's thinking.
Speaker 1: He hasn't had a press conference, so I don't know
Speaker 1: what he would what's the reasoning there? But it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter what he should have done because he didn't. I
Speaker 1: mean it's easy to say that to say, oh man,
Speaker 1: but who cares me? Six games and six games? Right?
Speaker 1: I mean, where would they be if he didn't play
Speaker 1: this first six games? So It's not like it's like,
Speaker 1: look what he did. I mean, they would have been
Speaker 1: in the same boat right now. They would have been
Speaker 1: one in five or two and four after six games.
Speaker 1: I think if he would have played those So, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think it really matters. He did what he
Speaker 1: needed to do, he was fighting for it. But why
Speaker 1: he dropped it now, I'm not really sure. I don't
Speaker 1: know who is sure about that. You could speculate. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess you're right. I can't say with a certainty,
Speaker 1: but I it seared like he just, well, he's not
Speaker 1: gonna win. Like, I don't think he has had a
Speaker 1: legitimate shot of winning this thing. And even if he did,
Speaker 1: there's always the chance that it could be a Tom
Speaker 1: Brady situation where you win in twenty seventeen and then
Speaker 1: it's reinstated next year and now you really spent two
Speaker 1: years dealing with this, or it could even be expedited
Speaker 1: and if the Cowboys find the way into the playoffs,
Speaker 1: you talk about him missing playoff games. So given the
Speaker 1: odds against him and what it could mean going down
Speaker 1: the line, I think he's just like, let's just you know,
Speaker 1: we did what we could. Let's call it a day
Speaker 1: and just get this thing behind us, and they can,
Speaker 1: I mean, they can still pursue this in court, right
Speaker 1: whether or not they're pursuing, Well, it sounds like he
Speaker 1: dropped the appeal, in which case it sounds like he's
Speaker 1: dropped his whatever case he's had, he's dropped it at
Speaker 1: this point, and so there really is no more court
Speaker 1: case at this point. The way I understand it, I yeah,
Speaker 1: I can still sue them. That's that's what he could
Speaker 1: pick up another case and basically sue that. That's what
Speaker 1: I meant, like, you can still sue the league without
Speaker 1: it being a matter of missing games and injunctions and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So I guess that remains to be seen.
Speaker 1: Probably depends on if he wants to pay the legal fees,
Speaker 1: and that's probably part of it too. In all honesty,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is I can't even imagine how much
Speaker 1: money this is gonna call and just clear that up.
Speaker 1: I know that there have been some people who hit
Speaker 1: me up on Twitter and like, no, the NFLPA is
Speaker 1: paying for that. Nick. I know you tell me you've
Speaker 1: talked to some people around the building, and I think
Speaker 1: what I think what happened is is like, yes, they
Speaker 1: will appoint you a lawyer. NFLPA appoints a lawyer to
Speaker 1: you and attorneys for all this. But to handle a
Speaker 1: case like this, you know, you've got a lawyer up
Speaker 1: and I think what he's because he's got more than
Speaker 1: one and so he's having he's having to pay for
Speaker 1: on top of that. You know, yeah, they'll give you
Speaker 1: the guy down the street back kind of like having
Speaker 1: a public defender or getting somebody. Ye have the right
Speaker 1: to an attorney. But yeah, I want Kessler. I mean
Speaker 1: he didn't want any NFLPA is like a little bit
Speaker 1: outside the budget. Yeah, he didn't want Jim Adler, the
Speaker 1: Texas hammer here. What's wrong with Jim Adler? I don't know.
Speaker 1: But no, I killed Jim Adler. Maybe he's a Cowboys fan.
Speaker 1: I want to I'm sorry, Jim. No. I want to
Speaker 1: talk about that though, because that's you know, that's an
Speaker 1: argument that we've been having back and forth this whole time,
Speaker 1: and I you know, I firmly believe that this thing
Speaker 1: didn't go Zeke's way. He gave it a hell of
Speaker 1: an effort. That doesn't make him wrong for doing it.
Speaker 1: I agree, And we don't have to go over the
Speaker 1: whole thing over again. We've talked about I mean, this
Speaker 1: is your reputation on the line, this is your your
Speaker 1: livelihood at your legacy, whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 1: And calling this thing off is not an admission of guilt,
Speaker 1: just like his just like his statement said, I mean,
Speaker 1: you can you can maintain your innocence and still see
Speaker 1: the writing on the wall that really all you're probably
Speaker 1: gonna do is hurt yourself and the organization going forward.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's an admission of guilt. I don't
Speaker 1: think that means it was wrong to try. You just
Speaker 1: sometimes you lose in life, and that's what this is.
Speaker 1: I mean. And the other thing to consider here here
Speaker 1: is and again we're speculating here, so I want to
Speaker 1: be clear, this is speculation, but this could have been
Speaker 1: a situation where, you know, Zeke is like I want
Speaker 1: to get away. You know, it's it's been publicized that
Speaker 1: he left the country. Maybe he's like, look, I want
Speaker 1: to get away and I just want to clear my mind.
Speaker 1: I just want to kind of not think about all
Speaker 1: the extra drama of what all is going on. And
Speaker 1: if this is still going on, he's still going to
Speaker 1: have to be having conversations with his attorneys. He's still
Speaker 1: gonna have to be so he can't really get away.
Speaker 1: He can get away, but he still has to have
Speaker 1: those phone calls and those conversations and strategy sessions and
Speaker 1: whatever else goes into it when you're fighting a big
Speaker 1: legal battle like this. So maybe he just said, Look,
Speaker 1: by the time this would all be done, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have served most of the suspension anyway, So why spend
Speaker 1: that time in court, in strategy sessions and talking to attorneys.
Speaker 1: I just want to get away from this, clear my head,
Speaker 1: allow myself to refocus, and maybe, just you know, maybe
Speaker 1: just maybe I can come out of this, you know,
Speaker 1: a little better off than I am right now. And
Speaker 1: I think that's a noble thing too. You're right, Dave.
Speaker 1: David doesn't say that he's admitting that he's guilty, but
Speaker 1: he fought as much as he could, and I think
Speaker 1: it got to a point where it's like he can't
Speaker 1: win this in a reasonable right. Agree. I mean, you
Speaker 1: could fight this for the rest of your life, probably,
Speaker 1: but like I said, at some point, you can see
Speaker 1: the writing on the wall. And for the third time,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think that means it was wrong
Speaker 1: to try. But I'm sure somebody disagrees because hindsight's always
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Yeah, But I mean the point is is that, Okay,
Speaker 1: what if he would have what if he didn't fight this.
Speaker 1: It's not like he's still not going to get the
Speaker 1: six games. I'm looking at the schedule right now. I mean,
Speaker 1: what would it have been. I mean, I don't know
Speaker 1: if they beat the Giants in the first game without him.
Speaker 1: You know, you can say all you want to about
Speaker 1: the Giants not being very good right now or being awful,
Speaker 1: but they weren't awful really in that game. So, I
Speaker 1: mean only scored three points. Her offense was pretty bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: their offense was bad, but the Cowboys weren't very good.
Speaker 1: I mean the Cowboys, it's so so I don't know
Speaker 1: if they could have won that game. I don't think
Speaker 1: they beat the Cardinals either, So I mean, who knows
Speaker 1: what happens without him? And so, But if that's the case,
Speaker 1: and I'm not meaning to kind of push this conversation aside,
Speaker 1: but if you don't think they would have won the
Speaker 1: game against the Giants or the Cardinals, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, but but but if that's the case,
Speaker 1: then you certainly don't think they're gonna beat the Eagles
Speaker 1: without at him, or the Redskins again without him, or
Speaker 1: like name any one of these games they got again
Speaker 1: done until he can. Are we going there now? No?
Speaker 1: I'm just asking, yeah, is that what you're saying is
Speaker 1: that you just don't think they have as much of
Speaker 1: a cancer in these games without think My point is
Speaker 1: is that should you know? And the next show will
Speaker 1: will definitely hit this. You should have done this earlier? Why? Like?
Speaker 1: Why why earlier? What does that really do? What does
Speaker 1: that change? And how much are you benefiting from that?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, what would have done just
Speaker 1: because you don't want to deal with it now and
Speaker 1: you wanted to just get it out of the way.
Speaker 1: I mean, he had to do what he had to do, right, Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: And I think we all agree. I think we all
Speaker 1: agree that, first of all, it's not any of our
Speaker 1: business to say what this man should do about his
Speaker 1: life and his reputation. But if he chooses to do that,
Speaker 1: he has every right to do it, and he should
Speaker 1: have done it because that's his right to be able
Speaker 1: to fight that in court if he has that opportunity
Speaker 1: and that that part's way more important. But the other
Speaker 1: part of that is, yeah, like who on earth knows
Speaker 1: where they'd be there nine games if he could sat
Speaker 1: out through the first six weeks. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: you might be sitting where the Giants are. I doubt
Speaker 1: it would be that bad, But I don't know for
Speaker 1: sure that you'd be above five hundred right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: especially the way he was playing like the I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: you get my point, Yeah, I got you. No, not
Speaker 1: only that, not only do is it probably a two
Speaker 1: and four, but they go to Washington and they probably
Speaker 1: don't win that game because as great as he was
Speaker 1: in that game, there's no way he's just gonna come
Speaker 1: right in being rusty for being out for seven weeks
Speaker 1: and come in there and help you, I mean help
Speaker 1: you to that. And remember, in training camp he doesn't
Speaker 1: do a whole lot of work, So I mean, I
Speaker 1: shouldn't say in training camp during preseason he doesn't do
Speaker 1: a whole lot of work. So it's who I think
Speaker 1: we kind of touched on this yesterday, like people refuse
Speaker 1: to accept that in in the sports world, like there
Speaker 1: always has to be a reason why what you did
Speaker 1: was wrong. Like, sometimes you can do the right thing
Speaker 1: for the right reasons and it doesn't work out for you,
Speaker 1: Like that's life. Then you don't always have to go
Speaker 1: back and penn blame on something that like just explains it,
Speaker 1: like here's why this was a mistake, Here's where they
Speaker 1: went wrong. Like sometimes stuff just doesn't go your way. Wow,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sound like Jason Garrett, like how you respond
Speaker 1: to that adversity is what really counts. So life lessons
Speaker 1: with David Hill, I just cut that whole little segment
Speaker 1: and just make that a make that a life lessons
Speaker 1: with David Helman. That was awesome. Deep thoughts with Dave.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into the injury talk. There were
Speaker 1: quite a few guys that miss practice yesterday. Here are
Speaker 1: the guys that did not practice. Dan Bailey with a
Speaker 1: groin injury, Does Bryan with a knee injury, Jeff Heath
Speaker 1: in the concussion protocol, Sean Lee with a hamstring injury,
Speaker 1: and Tyren Smith with back and groin problems. What are
Speaker 1: we hearing right now about those guys? And really the
Speaker 1: guy one account of zero in a little bit is
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey. Is it starting to get to a point
Speaker 1: where you can at least start asking a question, is
Speaker 1: it possible he plays this week or is it still
Speaker 1: a few weeks off here? I think he's still Jason
Speaker 1: Garrett said on Monday when he did his radio interview
Speaker 1: like first thing in the morning, that it's probably still
Speaker 1: a no go for Dan. That's I mean, it's a
Speaker 1: groin strain. We're talking about Tyrn maybe missing his second
Speaker 1: consecutive game with a groin strain. Dan Bailey's everything is
Speaker 1: on those you know, those muscles. So what would this
Speaker 1: be now he's been out how many games? Now? You
Speaker 1: got hurt Washan Francisco, so Washington. Dent's been there for
Speaker 1: three Okay, this will be Nugent's fourth game. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: Steven said, I guess when it first happened. He said
Speaker 1: four weeks was kind of what think? Yeah, and they
Speaker 1: said Thanksgiving? So I think that, you know, realistically, he
Speaker 1: could play against the Red against the Chargers and Thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: but made redskins probably makes more sense. Yeah, circle, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm circling November or December first, whatever that it is yet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you. Okay, what are we hearing about Jeff Heath
Speaker 1: and what are the contingencies in the event that Jeff
Speaker 1: Heath doesn't play, so the party music for the fans.
Speaker 1: I thought I thought about that yesterday because concussions are
Speaker 1: always I mean, you can't really predict him. I mean,
Speaker 1: some guys play the next week. Some guys missed twelve,
Speaker 1: Like some guys plays play with less than a week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Philip rivers Well, Ron Leary, Philip rivers Um. Jeff came
Speaker 1: out to practice yesterday like he was just in sweats.
Speaker 1: But I mean I was like, well, you're outside watching
Speaker 1: I sit in a dark room, right, good thing, that
Speaker 1: seems good, But you know you just like you kind
Speaker 1: of operate on intuition. I sort of get the feeling,
Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't play this week and then que up
Speaker 1: the X man. I mean, I think he's probably the
Speaker 1: first guy to get a crack at it. Now. They
Speaker 1: like to they like to roadsate guys. It's a safety position.
Speaker 1: Does that mean Cheeto's back and Cheetos now the third
Speaker 1: safety or I can't imagine more frazier or what are
Speaker 1: we thinking if Jeff's If Jeff sits, I can't imagine
Speaker 1: that Cheeto will too. Like he's fully healthy. He was
Speaker 1: a healthy scratch last week, So I can't imagine that
Speaker 1: they sit him if if he's healthy and if jeff
Speaker 1: can't go, So I don't I don't think you would play.
Speaker 1: I'm in the starting lineup after a month of staying out.
Speaker 1: But I'm sure they'll find something for him to do. Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be convinced that he's back until I
Speaker 1: hear in the press trying to be who don't know
Speaker 1: he's trying to when he when he says that, then
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, I think that's Cheeto, Cheetos playing.
Speaker 1: He's playing. Until then, do I hear anything about chay
Speaker 1: to buy now? I would imagine it doesn't. It doesn't.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that don't make sense about that.
Speaker 1: If Jeffrey Heath is out, I would imagine Xavier Woods
Speaker 1: gets the nod and him and Cavan Frasier kind of
Speaker 1: tag team and Cheeto will be there somewhere, maybe like
Speaker 1: in Dime or Nickel. That's just my guess. Cheetos gonna
Speaker 1: play this weekend. I think you're right Amber for sure.
Speaker 1: All right, you've gone knit. Yeah, I've done my analysis
Speaker 1: in the locker room. Got some behind the scenes. Yeah, cool, cool, good.
Speaker 1: You heard it here first, Cheeto Bay or Chittaby, however
Speaker 1: you want to name him. We'll be playing this weekend.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on one other thing. I want
Speaker 1: to hit up the tight end position. Rico Gathers is
Speaker 1: back to participating with the team, according to what Jason
Speaker 1: Garrett said in an earlier press conference this week. How
Speaker 1: much is he participating and how close is he now
Speaker 1: to getting back to possibly moving off of IR and
Speaker 1: maybe back onto the roster. I don't know, man, I
Speaker 1: don't know what's the I really don't know the rule
Speaker 1: on that of when he can do some things and
Speaker 1: what's the window of when they have to say, all right,
Speaker 1: when they put you back at practice, you have, I believe,
Speaker 1: three weeks to look at him and evaluate whether you're
Speaker 1: going to move him to the fifty three. Has he
Speaker 1: started practicing, Yeah, he's just attending some meetings. That meetings,
Speaker 1: Like Garrett said, he'd be out there on the field
Speaker 1: if he I mean, you know, when we go out there,
Speaker 1: you're looking for jerseys like like taking attendance, like okay,
Speaker 1: seven seven's not here, fifties not here, you know, and
Speaker 1: he wasn't wearing a jersey if he was out there
Speaker 1: like he's not. He's not practicing. He might be out
Speaker 1: there with the team, but he's not doing football stuff,
Speaker 1: which I just I've never I've never been around a
Speaker 1: situation like this in the time I've been doing this.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what to expect. I don't
Speaker 1: know when. And again, it's a concussion, so like I
Speaker 1: feel weird, and I don't want to speculate about his
Speaker 1: hell and be like, well, it's been X amount of weeks,
Speaker 1: he certainly can be doing something like that seems logical.
Speaker 1: I've never heard, you know, I brought this up back
Speaker 1: when it first happened, like Sidney Crosby dealt with concussion
Speaker 1: stuff for like months a couple of years ago, So like,
Speaker 1: I know it can happen, but it's typically an injury
Speaker 1: that takes a week or maybe two or three weeks
Speaker 1: to heal. So I don't know what to expect, and
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna let them figure it out. And when
Speaker 1: I see him out there in a helmet and a jersey,
Speaker 1: that's when I'll I'll write it down. I'll tweet that
Speaker 1: out for y'all as soon as I see it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But that hasn't happened yet. All right, let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and do this. Let's take our final break. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: our first break, our first break. When we come back
Speaker 1: from that break, we're going to dive into Cowboys versus Eagles.
Speaker 1: Jump into the Philadelphia Eagles defense. Get a scout and report.

Speaker 1: Back to the Break, Welcome back. We're in the second
Speaker 1: segment of the Break live from the s WBC Mortgage
Speaker 1: studios at the Star. We're talking Cowboys versus Eagles. Dave
Speaker 1: you ready for your scoutter report on the Eagles defense. Sure,
Speaker 1: let's go M D line, D line, D line. That's
Speaker 1: really that's where this thing starts. Line to line to line.
Speaker 1: It's it's pretty impressive and when you watch them, it
Speaker 1: looks really impressive. So Vinny Curry, Timmy jern again good, good,
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox good, Brandon Graham good. And then the second
Speaker 1: like I said this, I think I said this earlier
Speaker 1: in the week. The Cowboys rotate their D lineman. The
Speaker 1: Eagles do it too, but like better, like they got
Speaker 1: what wait because they're better players? Oh okay, get they're
Speaker 1: their second Their second string is Derek Barnett, fourteenth overall
Speaker 1: pick in the draft, bo Allen, veteran defensive tackle. The
Speaker 1: one week link is probably Destiny Vaio vyo second year
Speaker 1: guy that they guy named Destiny is his name is Destiny? Yes?
Speaker 1: And then Chris Long, who you know the Cowboys are like, no,
Speaker 1: we don't need him. Well, he helped the Pats win
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. And now he's playing pretty well for Philly.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's eight guys, and like they rotate him
Speaker 1: like I was charting it. You know, I watched two
Speaker 1: Philly games. I'm charting it, like every five to six plays,
Speaker 1: they like rotate, get the fresh guys in there, and
Speaker 1: the results are pretty similar. I mean, obviously your first
Speaker 1: strings better. But so I actually broke this down. This
Speaker 1: is seriously impressive right here. Vinny Curry has played in
Speaker 1: seventy seven career games, Timmy Joern again fifty two, Cox
Speaker 1: eighty seven, Graham one hundred and five, Alan fifty seven,
Speaker 1: Long one thirty nine. And then, like I said, your
Speaker 1: two young guys are Vaio who's played in twenty career games,
Speaker 1: and then Barnett who's only played in nine. But he's
Speaker 1: the fourteenth overall pick. So experience, experience, experience, and then
Speaker 1: the two exceptions, but not too old. That's the key part.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, they're right in the prime area. All
Speaker 1: of these guys joined the league between twenty ten and
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, with the exception of Barnett and Bio, Like
Speaker 1: they're right in the prime of their career. Two of them.
Speaker 1: I mean, Fletcher Cox is like an all Pro caliber guy.
Speaker 1: Jernegan just signed a pretty nice extension with them, And
Speaker 1: that's really that's I mean, all right, well, let's get
Speaker 1: into it. That's the strength of their defense. Their first
Speaker 1: against the run in a sickening to a sickening degree.
Speaker 1: They're allowing sixty six yards per game. Like, this ain't
Speaker 1: the week for Alfred to get on this second, I'm
Speaker 1: worried about that, Like, this is not the week for
Speaker 1: a running game that doesn't have Ezekiel Elliott to get
Speaker 1: on track. I know, like the personnel is totally different,
Speaker 1: I know that, but it just reminds me of the
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen Thanksgiving game against Philly where Logan and Cox
Speaker 1: just hawked smack all week and everybody's like, all right,
Speaker 1: got de Marco, got Martin, and Fred, like we'll see
Speaker 1: and the Eagles kicked there. They were right, they kicked there.
Speaker 1: But so their tenth overall in defense, first against the run,
Speaker 1: tenth and scoring nineteen point nine yards per game. Oh points, yeah, sorry,
Speaker 1: nineteen points basically twenty points per game. They are not
Speaker 1: that great against the pass. They're giving up two hundred
Speaker 1: and forty nine yards per game. They are twenty sixth
Speaker 1: against the past. Their secondary, they signed Rodney McLeod to
Speaker 1: a big time deal. Malcolm Jenkins is he's like their
Speaker 1: intellectual leader. Guy Fletcher Cox is probably like the emotional leader.
Speaker 1: Malcolm Jenkins is like the smart guy who probably gets
Speaker 1: everybody where they're supposed to be. They're corners. Jalen Mills
Speaker 1: seventh round pick out of LSU. He's playing well enough
Speaker 1: to start. I don't look at him as like a
Speaker 1: lockdown guy by any means. Seventh round. He should have
Speaker 1: been drafted way high, like he had some baggage there.
Speaker 1: I still like, I thought he was like a third
Speaker 1: or fourth round pick, and he fell all the way
Speaker 1: to the seventh round, which was weird. Um. Then they
Speaker 1: got Ronald Darby from the Bills in the offseason. He's
Speaker 1: played in one game. He got hurt in the season opener,
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna play this game, which go figure,
Speaker 1: but he's been out for two months, So do with
Speaker 1: that what you will. But you can pass against these guys,
Speaker 1: even I mean brock Osweiler for all of his warts,
Speaker 1: like he had some success. I know that they lost
Speaker 1: fifty one to whatever that was twenty four, but that's
Speaker 1: that's the thing, though, don't have to cut you off.
Speaker 1: That's the thing about those passing yards. I think. I
Speaker 1: think the Patriots are last in the defense, and you know,
Speaker 1: just a lot of times because of the way the
Speaker 1: game is, they're not running it, so they just throw throw.
Speaker 1: They're not really scared. They're not caring too much. Before
Speaker 1: you know, the guy's three hundred yard passing game, you know,
Speaker 1: they could be a hollow stat. It can be, and
Speaker 1: you have to look at that. Like obviously Denver got crushed,
Speaker 1: But I went back. I watched some they played Monday
Speaker 1: night against the Redskins. I think most of us probably
Speaker 1: watched that because it was a Monday night game. And
Speaker 1: then Philip Rivers, Granted, you know he's a Hall of Famer,
Speaker 1: but he threw for three forty on them in a
Speaker 1: game that was settled at the gun. So I mean
Speaker 1: you they give up passing here, and Kirk Cousins was
Speaker 1: moving it. He threw for three oh eight I think.
Speaker 1: And the problem is, first of all, pass all you
Speaker 1: won if you're one dimensional. I you know, I'd rather
Speaker 1: be able to run the ball. I don't want to
Speaker 1: throw for three hundred and fifty yards. And then with
Speaker 1: all that passing, they're gonna get sacks and that's probably
Speaker 1: going to increase their ability to get takeaways. So that's
Speaker 1: what I worry about. But really, and honestly, you know
Speaker 1: they're linebackers, don't even worry. I mean, Michael Kendricks is
Speaker 1: a talented guy, but he's been up and down. And
Speaker 1: then you're looking at Joe Walker, Nigel Bradham and Naj
Speaker 1: Good as their other guy. Because Jordan Hicks towards Achilles,
Speaker 1: he's out for the years. So their linebacker plays all right.
Speaker 1: But really, like everything they do, I don't even want
Speaker 1: to say their front four, like those eight guys that
Speaker 1: make up their front, like, I think all of their
Speaker 1: success rides on that, which fortunately for the Cowboys, they
Speaker 1: have a really good offensive line. If Tyron Smith's playing,
Speaker 1: and you know, that's kind of up in the air
Speaker 1: right now. But I mean I think if they're going
Speaker 1: to have success against these guys, he needs to be
Speaker 1: in there. When you talk about those yards, Nick and
Speaker 1: the number of points, I think that's what I kind
Speaker 1: of look at and say, maybe I kind of ride
Speaker 1: with you a little bit more on those yards being
Speaker 1: somewhat hollow, not completely hollow, but somewhat hollow because they're
Speaker 1: only given up twenty points a game, which means that
Speaker 1: even though they're given up a ton of yards, it
Speaker 1: isn't equating to the number of points that they're allowing.
Speaker 1: You would think the points would be higher giving up
Speaker 1: you know, it's a lot like the Cowboys last year,
Speaker 1: Like I mean, well when you right, And I think
Speaker 1: that was also because the Cowboys would get out to
Speaker 1: that early league lead and teams had to keep throwing
Speaker 1: the ball in order to try to catch up. Well,
Speaker 1: when we look at some of these run defense stats,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be like, well, that's the only thing you
Speaker 1: can do is throw the ball. So you want to
Speaker 1: tell me I can do it somehow? Right? And look good?
Speaker 1: They're running the book. I mean, they're twenty six against
Speaker 1: the pass, which is not good, and yet they're still
Speaker 1: tenth overall in defense. That's how good they are against
Speaker 1: the run, which even if even if the passing gains
Speaker 1: are there, that's not how the Cowboys win games. So
Speaker 1: do with that what you will. I much prefer to
Speaker 1: be balanced then just bomb away. But all right, Nick Amber,
Speaker 1: give me your your one thing that stands out about
Speaker 1: this defense. We'll start with you Amber. Well, for me,
Speaker 1: I mean it has to be sticking with the whole
Speaker 1: run defense. They're really really good. And again we know
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys strongest point area would be rushing, but
Speaker 1: they probably won't be as successful without seat, or they're
Speaker 1: not going to be successful without seat. End of story.
Speaker 1: Here's my point to what I kind of mentioned this yesterday.
Speaker 1: I'm worried about them being able to score points. The
Speaker 1: Cowboys being able to score point The only point that
Speaker 1: they score was Dak rushing the ball, and that's the
Speaker 1: only thing. They only were able to score seven points.
Speaker 1: And in the passing game, we know that's not necessarily
Speaker 1: Dak's strongest area. He can make those throws, but again,
Speaker 1: if you don't have Tyrn Smith in there to buy
Speaker 1: him some time to figure out where to throw that
Speaker 1: ball or to give him enough time to kind of
Speaker 1: run out, get out of the pocket and figure out
Speaker 1: where he's going. I mean, they're screwed if that happens.
Speaker 1: So I'm concerned. I've heard several people around the building.
Speaker 1: I was talking to several guys yesterday and not everyone.
Speaker 1: A lot of people seem to be pretty confident about
Speaker 1: the Cowboys winning this game. And I certainly don't know
Speaker 1: how how can you even feel confident? I mean, I
Speaker 1: know that. And one of the things we were kind
Speaker 1: of talking about yesterday is like, yeah, sure the Eagles
Speaker 1: are up for a loss, like they have to lose
Speaker 1: a game at some point. Yeah, it's coming, might be
Speaker 1: come in, But I don't know how you lose a
Speaker 1: game against this team with what the Cowboys have right now.
Speaker 1: All right, it's a good point, you know, Like you said,
Speaker 1: this is reminds you of the twenty fourteen game against
Speaker 1: the Eagles and the Thanksgiving And if it does, then
Speaker 1: that's good for the Cowboys because if I remember that game,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were rolling, Philly was struggling Sanchez I believe
Speaker 1: was the quarterback. It's like, all right, this is they
Speaker 1: don't have it, and they dominated them. So yeah, and
Speaker 1: so you know it happened. Especially you know games like this,
Speaker 1: you're expecting, Oh they have nobody heard. They're coming off
Speaker 1: of buy and the count. You know, they're one seven
Speaker 1: in a row, and that's usually when things turn around.
Speaker 1: But I'll say this about the run defense a little
Speaker 1: bit more specific. The demoralizing part for the Cowboys is
Speaker 1: that the Eagles are number one on third and one
Speaker 1: and fourth and one, so if it gets a short
Speaker 1: yarded situation, they're the best that They're only allowing thirty
Speaker 1: three percent of those plays, whether it be third and
Speaker 1: one or fourth and one, they're stopping that. Okay, well
Speaker 1: it's hard to run when it gets like that. Now,
Speaker 1: how about just regular runs they only get. They only
Speaker 1: have sixteen rushes of ten yards or more on them.
Speaker 1: That's less than two a game. You just think about
Speaker 1: having Zeke in the lineup, and think even even in
Speaker 1: the game the other day, I mean Alfred Morris had three,
Speaker 1: he had he had an eleven, he had a twenty,
Speaker 1: he had another eleven. So I mean you would think
Speaker 1: Zeke's gonna get four or five six of those. They're
Speaker 1: only allowing less than two. They've only had sixteen and
Speaker 1: nine games this year of less ten or more and
Speaker 1: then when it gets to twenty or more only three times,
Speaker 1: so short yards they're stopping that. Breaking off these long runs,
Speaker 1: they're stopping that. So, as Zamber said, it's gonna have
Speaker 1: to be dack and then throwing the football, and that
Speaker 1: is just going to be a huge challenge for them.
Speaker 1: I will say, if you want, if you want a
Speaker 1: little more positive spin, I think this is a rare
Speaker 1: instance where maybe even going all the way back to
Speaker 1: the Rams like this is the first time where I
Speaker 1: think the Eagles interior rushers are better than their edge rushers.
Speaker 1: So I mean, like Vinny Curry and Brandon Graham are
Speaker 1: good players, don't get me wrong, but there isn't like
Speaker 1: a von Miller on this team, and the strength of
Speaker 1: your line is on the interior as well, I would
Speaker 1: think so Cooper not as much as Frederick and Martin,
Speaker 1: but like those three, especially if Tyrant's out. I like
Speaker 1: those three going against Cox and Joern again a little
Speaker 1: bit more than the thought of Chad's Green trying to
Speaker 1: go against somebody. But Vinny Curry, Benny Curry is really
Speaker 1: good and he'll if Adrian Claymore can get six secks
Speaker 1: against Chads Green. I was I don't think with viny
Speaker 1: Curry is capable, they should not allow that opt I know,
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I'm just saying, yeah, I'm I
Speaker 1: think the Eagles interior guys are better, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But they're all they're all pretty good. I think. You know,
Speaker 1: we've obviously without Zeke, it's going to be a challenge.
Speaker 1: But you know, we didn't really talk about all of
Speaker 1: the injuries, did we. I mean, des did not practice
Speaker 1: and I don't I don't know the status of that yet,
Speaker 1: but we'll see what he does today. I mean, it
Speaker 1: could just be a Wednesday thing, but if he's limited,
Speaker 1: you know, that certainly changes a lot of things on
Speaker 1: this offense. Again, and I you know, obviously, when we
Speaker 1: start talking about injuries, I kind of looked at that
Speaker 1: one and thought, Okay, this is just one of those
Speaker 1: situations where it's Wednesday. This is the same. This is not,
Speaker 1: from my knowledge, a different injury than what he had
Speaker 1: last week. This is the same injury. He played with it.
Speaker 1: And so my assumption is unless there was a setback,
Speaker 1: which I didn't, I haven't heard that. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you have, But then my assumption would be, hey,
Speaker 1: let's just give him a little bit of time here
Speaker 1: to kind of get reading with me. Got a lot
Speaker 1: of games. You got three games here in this next
Speaker 1: in this next two and a half week period, right,
Speaker 1: so give him a day off. Let's see if we
Speaker 1: can ease him back in this week. But we're trying
Speaker 1: to save his body and let him kind of work
Speaker 1: through this injury as well. That's at least how I
Speaker 1: take it. Now, if we get to Friday and he
Speaker 1: still has in practice, now I think there's reason for concern, right,
Speaker 1: I think, Well, I feel like we've done a pretty
Speaker 1: good job of explaining that, Like, if you're an all pro,
Speaker 1: I can't gauge what you're going to do based on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: Like it means basically nothing to me. But if he
Speaker 1: doesn't play, how does that really change a lot of things? Well,
Speaker 1: Terrence Williams is now your lead receiver, and he doesn't
Speaker 1: really handle that very well. Bryce Butler says he's the leaden. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he says, he goes from the six options to the
Speaker 1: first option. Cool, I mean just leap, I mean that's
Speaker 1: just the pole vault, just leap frog everybody. I don't
Speaker 1: like it. Well, somebody has to, I mean, but I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that, you know, I'm not saying, oh, it
Speaker 1: doesn't change anything. I'm just going based on you know,
Speaker 1: everything that we've been looking at seeing on Twitter and
Speaker 1: people's response to how Dez has been this season so
Speaker 1: far and the way he's performed and not really being
Speaker 1: able to bring much to the offense. So that's why
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, just kind of I think he
Speaker 1: I still think he is a really, really good receiver.
Speaker 1: I just don't think that teams are as scared of
Speaker 1: him as we think that they should have been, or
Speaker 1: maybe his contracts suggest that they he should be, or
Speaker 1: whatever you want to say. I just don't think there's
Speaker 1: there's a lot of corners and defenses that are just
Speaker 1: that afraid. Now, he could still make plays, but and
Speaker 1: he's still way better than the other guys. So not
Speaker 1: having him, there's just one less weapon and you can
Speaker 1: you can do things differently. I think it just puts
Speaker 1: more pressure on deck in the running game because there's
Speaker 1: not really a lot of guys that you have to
Speaker 1: just double him and watch for him and not the
Speaker 1: one thing Dez has been able to do this year,
Speaker 1: and it hadn't been great for a year for him.
Speaker 1: I think everybody knows that. But he's been good at
Speaker 1: the I mean he's he's always been a beast at
Speaker 1: the run after the catch. So'll get him the easy passes.
Speaker 1: He'll turn that into more than he should. I've almost
Speaker 1: forgot about the Cardinals touchdown where he carried like four
Speaker 1: guys into the end zone. Like he can still do
Speaker 1: those types of things, he has not shown an ability
Speaker 1: to make game breaking plays or really take over a
Speaker 1: defense a game like that. What I was gonna say
Speaker 1: is against the secondary like this, I think there would
Speaker 1: be opportunities for him, especially like I said, even if
Speaker 1: he's not winning these fifty fifty balls, get him moving,
Speaker 1: get him moving across the field, give him a slant,
Speaker 1: give him a screen, and against the secondary that ranked
Speaker 1: twenty six against the pass, he might be able to
Speaker 1: do something. So I do think it would change what
Speaker 1: they want to do absolutely. I think early part of
Speaker 1: the season it seemed as though the Cowboys were targeting
Speaker 1: him quite a bit more. It wasn't too great success.
Speaker 1: They were missing a lot of those passes. But do
Speaker 1: you think that going to your point, do you think
Speaker 1: that this is a week where maybe they should target
Speaker 1: him a little bit more, but target him on different
Speaker 1: kinds of routes rather than those fifty fifty balls. Really,
Speaker 1: maybe target him more across the middle, target him more
Speaker 1: in the slant routes than big routes, those kinds they try.
Speaker 1: The first game that, I mean, the last game, in
Speaker 1: the first half, it was like I thought he was
Speaker 1: going to have ten or twelve, but it didn't seem
Speaker 1: like they did then second half though, right, oh well,
Speaker 1: they didn't do anything and has a field. I get it.
Speaker 1: They couldn't. They couldn't have time to do anything. That's
Speaker 1: been the game plan since at least since the buy,
Speaker 1: if not before that. I mean, I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
Speaker 1: But the deep the fifty fifty balls, they haven't been
Speaker 1: as frequent as they write the first three or four weeks.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's a lot of slants, it's a lot
Speaker 1: of crossing routes and things like that, and shallow posts
Speaker 1: stuff like that. I mean, he had like eleven targets
Speaker 1: in that game though, didn't he I mean, they're still
Speaker 1: targeting him a lot. It has not been working well,
Speaker 1: I mean to be I mean it has to some degree,
Speaker 1: like he'll get his balls, but it's not. It's just
Speaker 1: it hasn't worked from standpoint that he's having really big
Speaker 1: impacting It just hasn't been consistent and it hasn't been explosive.
Speaker 1: That's what do you think? I mean, can you can
Speaker 1: you put your finger on what maybe is the reason? No?
Speaker 1: I mean, well, I mean the chemistry I hate that word,
Speaker 1: but the connection with Dak hasn't been there. I don't
Speaker 1: think whether it's I mean Dak missing on longer throws
Speaker 1: or Daz dropping passes. I mean, he's had his fair
Speaker 1: share of those accuracy and then just the natural inclination
Speaker 1: that w and they run first and two they try
Speaker 1: to spread the ball around and do their best not
Speaker 1: to force it. I think it's probably a combination of
Speaker 1: all those things. But for the most part, No, I
Speaker 1: don't have a great answer for why. No. I think
Speaker 1: that this is. You know you think about great receiver
Speaker 1: quarterback combat. Uh, you know combinations, um, a guy like
Speaker 1: a Marvin Harrison and a Peyton Manning or even maybe
Speaker 1: you know Matt Ryan and Julio Jones, guys that worked
Speaker 1: together and for a long time program. Brown. Yeah, yeah, Um,
Speaker 1: you've got a combination of a great passer and great
Speaker 1: route runners, and you don't have either one of those
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys, with with this situation, with all three
Speaker 1: of those things I just mentioned, you don't have a
Speaker 1: lot of time. But they haven't worked together for a
Speaker 1: long period of time. There's still this is still their
Speaker 1: second year. Dez is not a great route runner and
Speaker 1: and uh, and he doesn't have the greatest hands you
Speaker 1: know of those really tough low ball catches, and DAC's
Speaker 1: not the most accurate passer of all time. He's getting
Speaker 1: there and he's pretty good. It can stand in the
Speaker 1: point of year and a half, right, But that's not
Speaker 1: his strong suitors, just putting the ball from here to there,
Speaker 1: and it's not dest you know, strong point either. So
Speaker 1: that's why you don't see this unbelievable connection between the two.
Speaker 1: That's not they're great things, but they could still do
Speaker 1: great things in other ways. And it'll get there eventually
Speaker 1: if they if they can work you know together for
Speaker 1: a long time. I don't know if they will, though.
Speaker 1: I think that's a good point to make though, because
Speaker 1: I do think a lot of times people want to
Speaker 1: want to compare it to Romo, And the thing that
Speaker 1: they forget is that was you're what you're comparing to
Speaker 1: his Romo. Towards the end of his career where he
Speaker 1: I mean, there was a I don't remember what year
Speaker 1: it was, but it seemed like there was a year
Speaker 1: when it all seemed to finally click for him and
Speaker 1: he just the way he went out there, he understood
Speaker 1: everything that was going on. He mastered that offense fourteen
Speaker 1: and it was like it was running for right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But that year though like the kinds of passy he
Speaker 1: wasn't making the kinds of throws, was like, man, what
Speaker 1: was it? Why do you do that? You know? Is
Speaker 1: it kind of just felt like he had a firm
Speaker 1: grasp of everything. But how many years was that in?
Speaker 1: And I think people try to compare sometimes because of
Speaker 1: Dak's early success. They want to compare him two quarterbacks
Speaker 1: that have been doing this for a much longer period
Speaker 1: of time. And he's just got to get there. He's
Speaker 1: got to keep developing that. That doesn't mean he's gonna
Speaker 1: get there. That means he has to keep working at it.
Speaker 1: And if he does keep working at I think he
Speaker 1: will get there. Yeah, I mean Dak is a Dak.
Speaker 1: I would say he's about as amazing as you can
Speaker 1: expect a second year guy to be. Right, he's awesome.
Speaker 1: I Am not trying to take anything away from him,
Speaker 1: but he's not He's not on that level yet, and
Speaker 1: it's find me. Find me the quarterback who was in
Speaker 1: their second season as a starter, watched the trajectory of
Speaker 1: a career like Russell. I mean, no, he's got he's
Speaker 1: got his own things, but he's playing pretty good. But
Speaker 1: I think you can look at the trajectory of a
Speaker 1: guy like Russell Wilson and how when he started off
Speaker 1: he wasn't the most accurate guy. They didn't really ask
Speaker 1: him to do as much. They were running the ball
Speaker 1: a lot. But now that offense run completely by his
Speaker 1: arm and they have no real running game. Their offensive
Speaker 1: line seems to be shaky at best, but he still
Speaker 1: kind of makes that thing goes and makes these miraculous plays.
Speaker 1: It gets them wins, and so they don't look anything
Speaker 1: like they did, right. Yeah, And I mean, if Dak
Speaker 1: keeps at it, I expect the same trajectory from him,
Speaker 1: like he will be there one day. Right, He's not
Speaker 1: there right now? All right, let's take our final break.

Speaker 1: limit his snap count the way that they had been
Speaker 1: tried to ask Jason Garrett about that, and he didn't, like,
Speaker 1: he didn't really answer it. Why would he? But I
Speaker 1: don't think they want Jalen playing fifty sixty snaps and
Speaker 1: for good reason. And I'm looking at Durant as the
Speaker 1: guy that's going to help with that. I wrote a
Speaker 1: story about that last night. Actually, if you want to
Speaker 1: go read it, feel free to read it. Dallas Cows
Speaker 1: dot com teach you a lot of stuff. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: a good question from Twitter. Do you guys think that
Speaker 1: Ronald Leary was part of the reason why Chas Green
Speaker 1: did okay in the four games last year? I don't
Speaker 1: think you can discount it and say it wasn't. I
Speaker 1: don't think you can discount it. No, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: Ronald Leary was a beast. I don't think you can
Speaker 1: discount it. But like, it wasn't like the guard What
Speaker 1: did the guard play have to do with Adrian Clayborne
Speaker 1: just swimming right around him? Like just yeah, like I said,
Speaker 1: like he wasn't. They weren't running games and stunts and
Speaker 1: coming inside and outside and like passing blockers off, like
Speaker 1: he just ran right around him six times. So let
Speaker 1: me ask you twelve times. Yeah, but when I got
Speaker 1: there a couple six times, I should say it, shouldn't
Speaker 1: say a couple times. But but let me ask you this.
Speaker 1: Could it have been a situation too where with a
Speaker 1: Ronald Leary. Leary says, look, dude, just don't let him
Speaker 1: get to the outside. I got you. I'll take care
Speaker 1: of the inside. Like I don't know, I'm I'm I'm
Speaker 1: just throwing out playing it could be a little bit wider. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so so don't as long. Just make sure you get
Speaker 1: out there wide enough to get him on the outside
Speaker 1: if he makes a move to come back to the inside.
Speaker 1: I got you. Don't worry about that. I'm just asking,
Speaker 1: I think ron Leary, I mean, I've been on here
Speaker 1: to say that I would have kept him or tried
Speaker 1: even harder to keep him. But I think ron Leary's
Speaker 1: play was more of a product of being in between
Speaker 1: Frederick and Tyrn more than just how great he is. Wow,
Speaker 1: that first time I've heard you say that. Well, I
Speaker 1: mean he's good and all of them are good together,
Speaker 1: you know, And I think that that's why Cooper has
Speaker 1: played better with those guys next to him. And then
Speaker 1: he kind of struggled a little bit with Chas Green
Speaker 1: next to him, So it's just the way it works.
Speaker 1: But I agree with Dave. I mean that had nothing.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like there was a bunch of twists and
Speaker 1: stunts there. It was just I'm better than you. And
Speaker 1: Chaz Green does not have tackle feet, not right now.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a tackle's body, and there's something to
Speaker 1: be said for that. Let's think about this. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give him a little bit of a break, a little
Speaker 1: bit because when you go into an offseason tackling guard
Speaker 1: is obviously different. He was prepared to play guard. That's
Speaker 1: what they did. That's what he was. He was battling
Speaker 1: to play guard, and your body is different. So now
Speaker 1: they moved him out to tackle because of a necessity,
Speaker 1: and he doesn't look like a tackle. He looks more
Speaker 1: like a guard. I'm not saying he's gonna be his
Speaker 1: act Martin and guard, but I don't think he's a tackle.
Speaker 1: So at that point, do you think Byron Bill needs
Speaker 1: to be the guy that starts to tackle for you
Speaker 1: this week? Because he has primarily played tackle in his career.
Speaker 1: You know what he starts, he has a lot a lot, Yeah,
Speaker 1: seventy two. Yeah, you put him out there at talking
Speaker 1: tackle right after if Dion and he's and he's my
Speaker 1: swing tackle. If Tyron does come back, if Tyron can't go,
Speaker 1: I think he'll be he'll get the first. So at
Speaker 1: this point, as is an active this week, right, That's
Speaker 1: why I was going. I think at this point he
Speaker 1: goes all the way to the bottom of the depth chart.
Speaker 1: At this point, it's entirely on Tyran. But if Tyron plays,
Speaker 1: I would probably see him. Yeah, he's shirt with the
Speaker 1: big sentine. So does that mean that he just doesn't
Speaker 1: have a future here? Did that one game? Basically? Just
Speaker 1: let me say this. I thought about this the other day.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have a bad game and you're change something.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have a good game. You know, sometimes it's
Speaker 1: just so extreme that it forces your hand and I'll
Speaker 1: go back the other way. Roy Williams missed a game
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine. He missed the wide receiver. Sorry,
Speaker 1: the wide receiver. Roy Williams missed a game two thousand
Speaker 1: and nine. They were going to Kansas City. It was
Speaker 1: Roy and Patrick Crayton, and then they started a guy
Speaker 1: named Miles Austin. Miles Austin went out there had a
Speaker 1: couple of nice plays. Early had a couple of nice
Speaker 1: plays in the middle, had more great plays, had won
Speaker 1: in overtime. Before you know it, he had two hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty yards receiving the best game in the history
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys wide receivers ten catches. They won the game.
Speaker 1: A star was born. They had no choice. He starts
Speaker 1: the next game, no doubt about it. Roy came back
Speaker 1: and Patrick Crayton was the one that got benched. He
Speaker 1: didn't do anything. He was so good. And I've always
Speaker 1: said this about Miles. The best part was the next
Speaker 1: week against Atlanta. I think he went for one seventy
Speaker 1: so it wasn't a flute game. A star was born.
Speaker 1: Like I said, it was so great. He had to
Speaker 1: make the move. This one was so bad. I think
Speaker 1: you have to make the move. So that's my point.
Speaker 1: I know, I don't I mean, I don't know that
Speaker 1: it means he doesn't have a future here in the
Speaker 1: sense of like i'd probably let him finish out his contract. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's only one more season anyway, So but I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: but you're looking for a replacement for him, even mean,
Speaker 1: do you think I am I wrong on this? I mean,
Speaker 1: do y'all see a tackle here, I'd probably have him.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm like, Joe Looney's in a contract year.
Speaker 1: I mean, he could be your eight. I'm keeping Joe.
Speaker 1: I like Joe a lot. I'm just I'm spitballing here
Speaker 1: like he. But we we do that though, you know,
Speaker 1: we we guys we like Yeah, sure, I mean, like
Speaker 1: I want Bryce to make plays, Yeah, because I like
Speaker 1: Bryce's like Bryce and he does some things and he's
Speaker 1: he's you know, I love Joe, I don't, and I
Speaker 1: love for Joe probably eclipses what he actually does for
Speaker 1: the team. That's probably why you like Alfred Morris. He's
Speaker 1: the best guy in the locker room. Yeah, that's like
Speaker 1: just just the nicest, most down to earth dude. And
Speaker 1: I like Darren McFadden for other reasons. Woo pig right,
Speaker 1: get past that that that Arkansas thing? Uh? What were we?
Speaker 1: If he plays in the game and it sounds like
Speaker 1: he's gonna play a little bit in this game, you think, yes,
Speaker 1: Nick's gonna have one of those foam pigheads on him.
Speaker 1: You're ready for it. It's never been worn in my
Speaker 1: entire life. Just gets uncomfortable when he starts saying woo
Speaker 1: pig suey. I've never I don't really say that either.
Speaker 1: That just gets a little bit creepy. But listen, I
Speaker 1: don't want Felix Jones back. I don't want Ken Hamlin back. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's not like that. They don't need to go get
Speaker 1: Peyton Hillis. Yeah, but this is one of your all
Speaker 1: time greats. Well, he's been a really good player. He's
Speaker 1: been a really Oklandators. Has he been a really good
Speaker 1: pay I don't know the Oklandators. He was a really
Speaker 1: good player, right, he was. He had a year where
Speaker 1: he was really are you gonna look at the rushing
Speaker 1: are you gonna look at the rushing stats this year
Speaker 1: and whoever finishes fourth and say he had a pretty
Speaker 1: good year, because that guy finished fourth for you in
Speaker 1: the NFL two years ago, and he did it in
Speaker 1: ten games. You roll your eyes if you want to.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, I mean, nobody else this was
Speaker 1: on the team that couldn't do anything. Yeah, but we
Speaker 1: all know that Castle here, We all know that watched
Speaker 1: the game aimes that it wasn't. Yes, we got some yards,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't. It wasn't the kind of performance that
Speaker 1: was like he was the man, like it was okay,
Speaker 1: it couldn't run at times, like they could not run
Speaker 1: a time. That's fine. So but it was pretty good though, right,
Speaker 1: that's pretty good, a lot better than that crap you
Speaker 1: saw Sunday. All I'm saying is is one thing if
Speaker 1: he's just behind greatness. But if Alfred Morris is doing
Speaker 1: what he does and Rod Smith's doing what he I mean,
Speaker 1: don't you think that you would want at least give
Speaker 1: him a shot. But that's also my thing going into
Speaker 1: this year, I was the person that would have preferred
Speaker 1: to have younger running backs than the veteran. That's the
Speaker 1: one position in the NFL where to me, a veteran
Speaker 1: is less important other than for pass protection. If you
Speaker 1: can find a young guy that can do pass protection,
Speaker 1: I always go with young guys at running back because
Speaker 1: I think whether it's they're hunger, whether it's that they're
Speaker 1: half spryer legs, whether it's that they're just not beat up,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, I like having younger running backs and
Speaker 1: I like having veteran running back. We're gonna go find
Speaker 1: us a Kareem Hunt. Like there's some kid right now,
Speaker 1: like bowling Green. Yeah, und running back seventh overall, we'll
Speaker 1: go get him. That guy is going that way. Kareem Yeah,
Speaker 1: what you mean? Oh you mean he struggling. I saw
Speaker 1: something the other day about who here's your three three
Speaker 1: guys for Rookie of the Year. You know, one of
Speaker 1: them was Watson, and I was like, well, where's Kareem Hunt?
Speaker 1: Where's the kid from Jacksonville and down? He has tailed off?
Speaker 1: And well for net for Nett's stay healthy, well between
Speaker 1: the buy and then he got benched, and then he
Speaker 1: didn't have a great game last week. He's been on
Speaker 1: three weeks of man, But how do we get on
Speaker 1: this anyway? I don't know running backs. I was just
Speaker 1: about to ask, you think Deshaan Watson's gonna win Rookie
Speaker 1: of the Year. He should way off? He should win
Speaker 1: it anyway. Honestly, Uh, Chads Green? Did Chaz Green? He's
Speaker 1: a good one too. I would keep Chaz Green on
Speaker 1: the team through his contract. He could be like your
Speaker 1: eighth offensive lineman who's usually inactive. But he was brought
Speaker 1: in here. I mean I idly. I would imagine the
Speaker 1: goal was for him to replace Doug Free. Obviously a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff has changed since then, but like, he
Speaker 1: doesn't have a future on this team as a guy
Speaker 1: you want to count on as a starter. Clipton gathers, Yes,
Speaker 1: what do you remember about him? It's really tall. I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, yeah, tall. I was trying to think
Speaker 1: of like a playing guest, but no, no, because he
Speaker 1: didn't play. He was one of those guys that he
Speaker 1: got moved around to like six or seven practice squads
Speaker 1: because you bring him in and you're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: we got up with this guy six eight, three, ten
Speaker 1: or whatever. That's the thing about Chaz Green. I mean,
Speaker 1: he just looks the part. You're like, all right, we
Speaker 1: gotta get something out of him. He looks mean, big, strong,
Speaker 1: It looks like he's gonna do something but hasn't gotten
Speaker 1: there yet. But I really think he could maybe do something.
Speaker 1: A guard. Maybe he needs to be your guard. Maybe
Speaker 1: I'm fine. I'm fine with him being like, they don't resign, y, Martin, Martin,
Speaker 1: you got yourself a guy they do resigned, Martin. We're
Speaker 1: having an emerging see podcast down here in the studio.
Speaker 1: Let's get a call from Chris in Indiana. Chris, what up?
Speaker 1: How's it going? Hey? Are not too bad? It's been
Speaker 1: a little bit um. I think some people are forgetting.
Speaker 1: We all know Chaz Green didn't have a real good
Speaker 1: game and Bell didn't either, but the interior of that
Speaker 1: offensive line also didn't have a good game. If you
Speaker 1: go back and look on those sacks that was coming
Speaker 1: from the outside, Dak didn't have nowhere to move up
Speaker 1: in the pocket, and I think also that enabled not enabled,
Speaker 1: but that also hindered us from being able to run
Speaker 1: the ball because it wasn't much going on during the
Speaker 1: in the inside of the line. So I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people are kind of forgetting that as the
Speaker 1: line as a whole did not have a good game,
Speaker 1: and whether Zeke was there or not, I think it
Speaker 1: would have probably been the same. If those guys are
Speaker 1: all five of those guys are not working as one,
Speaker 1: your running game and your passing game and having time,
Speaker 1: it's just not going to work out, all right, Thanks
Speaker 1: for the call. I think there's something. I mean, Zack
Speaker 1: Martin gave up an uncharacteristically bad sack, I think, and
Speaker 1: then I'm making excuses for him, like he's he's got
Speaker 1: an ankle or something like he at some point his
Speaker 1: ankles dinged up. I don't. I mean, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: not something that's going to keep him off the field,
Speaker 1: but I wonder how much that affected him. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the line kind of got their butts kicked. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not gonna say necessarily disagree with that,
Speaker 1: but I don't want to. I don't want I don't
Speaker 1: know if I'd go as far as to say that
Speaker 1: those sacks around the outside were because Dad couldn't step up.
Speaker 1: I think there was one plan specifically. I know that
Speaker 1: there was a sack that was because Dak kind of
Speaker 1: got flushed and then he ran into a guy that
Speaker 1: was coming from the other side and then first half, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you're getting up with a sack. I think
Speaker 1: that was one of claiborne sacks. But that that, to me,
Speaker 1: was the aberration. I think more often than not, when
Speaker 1: Claiborne got to him, it literally just came so fast
Speaker 1: he had no time to read, I think, and that
Speaker 1: was that had nothing to do with what was happening
Speaker 1: in front of him. I hear, I mean, I hear
Speaker 1: what the caller is saying. I think there's something to
Speaker 1: be said. I don't think the line played that great
Speaker 1: as a whole. I agree, I agree, But yeah, when
Speaker 1: you step up in the pocket, like the end is
Speaker 1: coming around the tackle and you kind of got some
Speaker 1: time to work and there's a feel like most of
Speaker 1: those sacks it was like three steps and you just
Speaker 1: you got a guy on your back like you're still
Speaker 1: in his drop, like hidden, there's always already a gown
Speaker 1: in order for you to be able to step up
Speaker 1: and avoid the rush, like your tackle still has to
Speaker 1: kind of be doing his thing to kind of, you know,
Speaker 1: force you to go wide and take a longer arc
Speaker 1: than you want to write that that wasn't really happening. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get a question from Twitter. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: in case Tyren cannot play this weekend, see that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's hope he can. But in case he can't and
Speaker 1: we have to cheat, see Chas Green once again, or
Speaker 1: Byron Bell if whatever, whoever he's out there, how can
Speaker 1: the Cowboys help those guys? I know I saw at
Speaker 1: times Alfred Moore is help with the block, and obviously
Speaker 1: you can necessarily do that all the time. What could
Speaker 1: be other ways that they could help him? Or whoever
Speaker 1: is it out there? Yeah, I mean, and that's one
Speaker 1: of the things that I think why Alfred Morris has
Speaker 1: been a declining players because yes, he can run the ball,
Speaker 1: but he's not the best blocker. He's not the best,
Speaker 1: doesn't have the best feel for that, I don't think
Speaker 1: from the timing of chipping and then getting out in
Speaker 1: his great pass catcher. So that probably keeps him off
Speaker 1: the field is you know, more than he would like
Speaker 1: to be. But that's one of the things running back
Speaker 1: helping there, because you can kind of block and be
Speaker 1: a pass catcher. I think they'll try some receivers to
Speaker 1: do that. Maybe ends Yeah, hit him on the way
Speaker 1: out to your route. Yeah, just all all you need
Speaker 1: is just one little hit and then move over there
Speaker 1: and you know, and and sneak out in the past
Speaker 1: in the past. So I think that that's what you'll see.
Speaker 1: You'll see some of that. And that's the other thing
Speaker 1: about wide nine, right, if you have a tight end,
Speaker 1: it extends that guy out even farther. If he wants
Speaker 1: to play really wide, if he wants to be the
Speaker 1: widest guy on the line, he's got to go even
Speaker 1: farther out if you put a tight end there. And
Speaker 1: so from that standpoint, it gives you more distance between
Speaker 1: the rusher and the quarterback, which hopefully again can help you.
Speaker 1: So I think there are lots of different things that
Speaker 1: they can do. Now the question becomes what things can
Speaker 1: they do in the context of the offense that they
Speaker 1: already play, because they don't normally have to do those
Speaker 1: things with Tyren Smith out there, right, So how do
Speaker 1: they do those things without drastically changing their offense. I
Speaker 1: don't know how tough that is to make those kinds
Speaker 1: of adjustments. I would assume you can, and there's not
Speaker 1: a big deal, but I'm not a coach. I don't know.
Speaker 1: You see him do stuff with multiple tight end sets though,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, like Swim and Hannah and went
Speaker 1: into something. I mean, they do those boots and tight
Speaker 1: end actions. And if somebody other than Tyrant has to
Speaker 1: play this game, I would guess like a tight end
Speaker 1: is just affixed to the left side at least way
Speaker 1: more often than was the case in Atlanta, And you
Speaker 1: can do stuff to get them involved, like not only
Speaker 1: have him as an extra blocker, but in the interest
Speaker 1: of staying multidimensional and not just giving yourself away, you
Speaker 1: can use them as blockers who become receivers. And stuff
Speaker 1: like that. That's the other thing. It seemed like in
Speaker 1: this game the Cowboys were way more committed to being
Speaker 1: an eleven personnel and even sometimes going you know, basically
Speaker 1: one personnel. They had a tight end, no running backs,
Speaker 1: and they spread everybody out wide. And my thought was,
Speaker 1: when you're getting wrecked like that with one guy killing
Speaker 1: your tackle, the last thing you want to do is
Speaker 1: take tight ends and running backs off the field. So
Speaker 1: my thought is, in this game, if you're having to
Speaker 1: play without Tyren Smith, maybe you should ought to see
Speaker 1: a predominant amount of twelve personnel where you got two
Speaker 1: tight ends. That tight end, like you said, maybe that
Speaker 1: tight end is a fixture over there. He's always going
Speaker 1: to be there to give that tackle a little bit
Speaker 1: of extra support. Even if he's going out in a
Speaker 1: route he can at least chip the galln his way
Speaker 1: out right. Well, And I was gonna say, with this
Speaker 1: eagle run defense, it's not like you're gonna be very
Speaker 1: successful at running the ball anyway. So you can use
Speaker 1: those guys who can't help out, even the running back,
Speaker 1: to help with the blocking certain situations because they won't
Speaker 1: be able to really run the ball anyways. You're just
Speaker 1: giving up on the run just like that. Huh, Well,
Speaker 1: they can help with the block, can help Dad have
Speaker 1: more time to pass that ball, So real quick, I
Speaker 1: want to throw out something to note that we ought
Speaker 1: to think about when it comes to this run defense.
Speaker 1: They haven't really played a good running back. Man. What
Speaker 1: I mean by good running back? A running back that's
Speaker 1: like up there now. Of course, the Cowboys don't have
Speaker 1: one right now either, but their offensive line, if Tyran
Speaker 1: is back, is one of the better offensive lines in
Speaker 1: the league. The best one they've played is Kareem Hunt
Speaker 1: and he had eighty one yards against it. And also,
Speaker 1: just like it, let's be fair, just like the if
Speaker 1: the passing numbers are going to be more than they
Speaker 1: probably should be because they are, you know, throwing the
Speaker 1: ball a lot in the second half, then the running
Speaker 1: numbers are probably lower than they should be because they're
Speaker 1: not running the ball. That doesn't mean that, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they're not good at stopping the run,
Speaker 1: because that defense has got them in position to be
Speaker 1: in the lead in the fourth quarter. It's the same
Speaker 1: thing the Cowboys did last year. Like it's yeah, if
Speaker 1: you're that good at stopping the run, and there's alway
Speaker 1: is more to it than just being good. I mean
Speaker 1: they're good, don't get me wrong, but the circumstances of
Speaker 1: these games dictate a lot of But I think that's
Speaker 1: the point of what I was getting to is that
Speaker 1: I don't think you abandoned the run. To speak to
Speaker 1: what you were talking, I don't think the abandon will
Speaker 1: run here. I think I think you try them, and
Speaker 1: you try to run the ball against this defense and
Speaker 1: test this defense. There might be a come a point
Speaker 1: in the game where you're like, we're really not getting
Speaker 1: much out of it. We gotta do something different. But
Speaker 1: I don't think there's nothing here that says to me
Speaker 1: you can't run. It just says to me, they've been
Speaker 1: pretty successful stopping to run against the teams that they've played.
Speaker 1: Can the Cowboys be in that lot? Or can the
Speaker 1: Cowboys be the exception to the rule, because I don't
Speaker 1: think they faced any really great run offenses this season.
Speaker 1: Here's that Eagleton optimism. Well yeah, you have to. Can
Speaker 1: I keep the same game you picked last week? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: All right, thank you guys to joining us. We're back tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get you guys all set up for the
Speaker 1: game this weekend. We'll tell you what to expect and
Speaker 1: we'll tell you what our picks are for the game.
Speaker 1: Till then. For Nick, Eatn, Dave Helm and Amber Garcia,
Speaker 1: I'm Derek Eagleton. This has been the Break live on
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com HUH Radio. This has been a
Speaker 1: production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys
