Speaker 2: an offer letter. Have you ever been to Knoxville? I
Speaker 2: never talked at her coaches or anything.
Speaker 7: I got an offer letter from them, and I threw
Speaker 7: it away because like, how are you going to offer me?
Speaker 2: You don't even know me.
Speaker 7: If you're offering me like that, you're offering anybody like that,
Speaker 7: you don't you don't even know, you don't know anything
Speaker 7: about me.
Speaker 6: Away, I would have just kept him for a scrap.
Speaker 2: No, screw that. It's not he's not a big arts
Speaker 2: and crafts guy who was the coach two thousand and two.
Speaker 7: Yeah, at that point, Like what happened was I went
Speaker 7: to the training I went to a camp at USC
Speaker 7: when they were on top of the world, right, and
Speaker 7: they had Philip Fulmer.
Speaker 5: Two thousand and two, but said former I was with
Speaker 5: this guy.
Speaker 7: But USC offered me, and then after that everybody started
Speaker 7: offering me. The number one team in the nation offers you.
Speaker 7: Everybody starts offering, and I was like.
Speaker 2: Screw you guys. You guys don't know me. You guys
Speaker 2: did it because they did it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I didn't care, just trying to snatch you up.
Speaker 2: I mean, like, you what you get like five offers?
Speaker 5: He was a Washington alum.
Speaker 2: You should have just given a dog. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 4: He's like all Tennessee literally like born in Tennessee, coached
Speaker 4: at Tennessee and Vanderbilt and then back to Tennessee.
Speaker 2: That's kind of what I felt disrespected by that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they got an offer letter from I did not accept.
Speaker 2: Good for you, Southern teams didn't come up to the Northwest.
Speaker 5: Mine was Oklahoma. I got an offer from Oklahoma Wesleyan.
Speaker 6: All right, let's set our team name.
Speaker 5: When we're bringing that up. We've got to get into football. Hey,
Speaker 5: guess what you guys, this is the first game uh huh.
Speaker 2: That the Dallas Cowboys get to play against Dalton Schultz.
Speaker 2: After Dalton Schultz through the Cowboys under the bus.
Speaker 5: Oh, you're trying to bring up some petty stuff.
Speaker 7: Huh.
Speaker 6: He threw it out there, petty LaBelle.
Speaker 2: Dalton Schultz threw it out there when he said, you
Speaker 2: feel like you're in a zoo.
Speaker 5: Schultz knock on the glass.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what he said. It is the first name.
Speaker 2: Somebody made those comment glass. Yeah, nobody's knocking on the glass.
Speaker 5: Nobody's knocking on the glass.
Speaker 2: Ever. That's made up. Yeah, completely made up.
Speaker 5: That's a that's a hey, look at me, look at me.
Speaker 2: Completely made The only.
Speaker 4: Reason you even have any sort of notoriety in the NFL,
Speaker 4: Dalton Schultz is because you played for the calib Oh no, No,
Speaker 4: one wouldn't even know who you are if you did
Speaker 4: not play for Dame.
Speaker 5: I mean you're a decent tight end, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 5: It took you like six years to become one.
Speaker 2: He's on the one.
Speaker 4: However, you are only known across the country because you
Speaker 4: played for Dallas.
Speaker 2: He's talking about one shot, sorry.
Speaker 5: Talking on one shot day early for that, because you know, Dalton.
Speaker 1: Took him years to learn how to block on Twitter.
Speaker 1: He was blocking on Twitter all day. Yeah, he's better
Speaker 1: blocking on.
Speaker 4: Some block at Kyle underscore yeomans, go ahead and give
Speaker 4: me a block fire would be fun.
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
Speaker 1: What we're doing is I like it? I'm it's fine
Speaker 1: because you know, cowboys have a real tight end. Now,
Speaker 1: so there's that you don't shouts out to Fergy.
Speaker 6: Technology neck list and get out of here. But you
Speaker 6: know what I mean.
Speaker 2: The glass. Nobody tapped on the glass just.
Speaker 5: For losing notes, basically.
Speaker 1: Working out shouts out Will Greer beating out Ben Denucci
Speaker 1: because Greer can focus during the tours.
Speaker 6: Now everyone can see I'm mid.
Speaker 2: MIDI shows. All right, are you gonna do it? Are
Speaker 2: you doing this? No? No, no, no sipping what no sipping?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 5: No, I'm not a mode.
Speaker 2: You're not Chuck news and notes. All right, So let's.
Speaker 1: Start with the good news, off, buddy. The good news
Speaker 1: is that Marveion over shown. I pegged him as a
Speaker 1: seventy percent guy to play on Monday Night against the
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. The Cowboys didn't have an injury report yesterday
Speaker 1: because they have Monday night football, so the first official
Speaker 1: injury report will be today on Thursday. But De Marveian
Speaker 1: was practicing yesterday. He was in full pads and helmet
Speaker 1: during the open portion of media, and I spoke with
Speaker 1: a couple of guys who said he did practice.
Speaker 2: So de ma, bro, what's he what's he listed at? Heightwise? Demo? Yeah? Six?
Speaker 7: No, No, this dude was looking down. I saw my breakfast, Bro,
Speaker 7: he was looking down at me. I didn't like that
Speaker 7: at all.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you feel disrespected his offer letter outfit.
Speaker 1: I'm definitely heavier than him, but he's he was as
Speaker 1: usually you get to six three.
Speaker 2: He's definitely sixty four. Yeah, yeah, he's definitely six four.
Speaker 6: Why would you lie about being shorter?
Speaker 2: I don't know, but he's six four.
Speaker 5: I mean his actual his combine hike.
Speaker 4: Game measurement was six foot two and five eighths, so
Speaker 4: under six foot bro.
Speaker 2: I looked at he had on some he had on
Speaker 2: some slides. Bro, he's a he got some length of hike.
Speaker 2: Maybe you're starting to lose Maybe I am losing it.
Speaker 2: I don't know. They say as you get older, you
Speaker 2: start to live. That might have happened.
Speaker 1: Compressed started to compress a little bit like a spring.
Speaker 1: So over over shown looks like he's striking toward playing.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna bump his his percentage up to like
Speaker 1: ninety percent based on him practicing yesterday, what I'm hearing,
Speaker 1: and also Mike McCarthy's comments, who he sounded very confident.
Speaker 1: McCarthy did that Overshown will play on Monday night, plus
Speaker 1: you get the extra day, which works in his favor
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 2: So I'm bumping that up. Now that was the good. Well,
Speaker 2: let's stick to.
Speaker 1: The good, Ford, let's keep going going good to many
Speaker 1: doga And of course you can view that however you
Speaker 1: want to. But he his practice window started yesterday, his
Speaker 1: twenty one day practice windows, So Cowboys have twenty one
Speaker 1: days to decide if he's going back on the actor
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster one, or he's going to the
Speaker 1: season ending roster. But I'm of the belief that in
Speaker 1: his return from his toe injury that put him on
Speaker 1: IR in the first place, I'm of the belief that
Speaker 1: they're going to look to put him on the active
Speaker 1: roster sooner than later because Tyler Guyton continues to deal
Speaker 1: with what got and told me yesterday is more of
Speaker 1: a shoulder issue than the neck issue, right, So it's
Speaker 1: not necessarily a neck at all. It is a shoulder
Speaker 1: issue he's working through and that's obviously a big deal
Speaker 1: when you're an offensive lineman. Yeah, that's gonna take away
Speaker 1: your strength and everything that he's dealing with. He told
Speaker 1: me he does have to play with a brace on.
Speaker 1: He said he's working through it. But when you hear
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's comments about, you know, welcoming a healthy competition,
Speaker 1: it's not that Guyton is being beat out. You have
Speaker 1: to focus in on the word healthy and that healthy
Speaker 1: competition phrase, because too, Manydoga, he's getting healthy. Austin Richards
Speaker 1: is healthy and in the small, simple size awesome played
Speaker 1: pretty well against the Philadelphia Eagles. And now you have Guyton,
Speaker 1: who is dealing with that, and he's not entirely over
Speaker 1: that knee issue as well, So you might be looking
Speaker 1: at a three man battle for the starting left tackle
Speaker 1: over the next several weeks. And again that's primarily because
Speaker 1: Guyton is banged up and it's an availability thing, right,
Speaker 1: So the good news is Chuman's back to help in
Speaker 1: that regard. Okay, now we kind of go to not
Speaker 1: so great. Let's keep it to the offensive line. So
Speaker 1: yesterday out came a particular All Pro guard with his
Speaker 1: knee and leg heavily wrapped with no pads and no helmet,
Speaker 1: and it was Tyler Smith.
Speaker 2: Tyler Smith is dealing with a knee injury. We don't
Speaker 2: know the.
Speaker 1: Extent of it, but it did hold him out of
Speaker 1: practice entirely yesterday.
Speaker 2: Can we take Isaiah's one shot?
Speaker 5: This is how I.
Speaker 2: Feel, especially did Murphy's law. Yep, that's it right there.
Speaker 2: This season is Murphy's law.
Speaker 1: You're getting a swing tackle back and chewing withy dooga.
Speaker 1: And now in addition to your starting left tackle dealing
Speaker 1: with issues injury wise, you're all pro left guard is
Speaker 1: dealing with a.
Speaker 2: Knee issue against what tea?
Speaker 1: This is against the Houston Texans and a defensive front
Speaker 1: that we will speak of today, featuring guys such as
Speaker 1: the Neo speaking over in peace to the great So.
Speaker 1: But I mean, so there's the offensive line. You take
Speaker 1: one step forward and trying to show up shore up
Speaker 1: your your left tackle spot because of injury, and you
Speaker 1: look to the right end. Tyler Smith is dealing with
Speaker 1: some things, and of course Zach Martin is also dealing
Speaker 1: with some things. Right, So this offensive line is just
Speaker 1: it's it's not in m GB not great, not great Bob,
Speaker 1: not great Bob.
Speaker 4: Now at least like coming up after this week, They're
Speaker 4: not playing like anybody.
Speaker 5: Crazy on the defensive line, right Washingtons?
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah it is all bad?
Speaker 2: Any other good there? Or is it just all bad? No,
Speaker 2: there's there's some slight good.
Speaker 4: I mean the good Man that was a really bad
Speaker 4: one I need.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, So this one isn't good enough to be
Speaker 1: the equivalent of the bad like counterbalance.
Speaker 2: But maybe when you add it with overshown plane, maybe
Speaker 2: that works.
Speaker 1: So I had a an exclusive Q and A with
Speaker 1: Will Greer on yesterday, and very insightful. You can see
Speaker 1: the added maturity that he has as far as his
Speaker 1: evolution because he spent some time with several other teams.
Speaker 1: One of those teams and he really circled in on this,
Speaker 1: and Isaiah's gonna love this. He had a lot to
Speaker 1: say about mister Belichick, a lot of great things to
Speaker 1: say about mister Belichick. Now, he did say obviously when
Speaker 1: Grier got up to New England, it was on the
Speaker 1: back well it was basically the final year of Belichick,
Speaker 1: so things were kind of messy at the quarterback position whatnot.
Speaker 1: But that's not what Will chose to focus on. He
Speaker 1: was basically talking about all the good that he learned
Speaker 1: from Bill, how to approach the game like a winner,
Speaker 1: how to view different defenses in a light that he
Speaker 1: hadn't thought of before he got to New England. So
Speaker 1: just how Bill Belichick helped him in his development even
Speaker 1: in that short period of time as a quarterback. And
Speaker 1: those are the types of lessons that he's now bringing
Speaker 1: back to Dallas. And then, of course we talked about
Speaker 1: it yesterday's game for Dallas. I mean, the guy had
Speaker 1: two in the air, two in the ground, three hundred
Speaker 1: yards passing just under sixty yards rushing. He absolutely cooked
Speaker 1: in his final preseason game. So if he can build
Speaker 1: on that and take lessons learned from guys like the
Speaker 1: legendary Belichick. Maybe he can actually be a really impactful contributor,
Speaker 1: even if it's just from an evaluation standpoint. Because you
Speaker 1: don't have Cooper Rush under contract next year, you don't
Speaker 1: have Trey Lynch in the contract next year. So just
Speaker 1: let this be a wide open competition for QB two,
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let Trey out there and let Will out there.
Speaker 1: And because again we're talking about an offensive line that's
Speaker 1: really banged up, and when they weren't banged up, they
Speaker 1: were still having problems protecting your two most mobile quarterbacks
Speaker 1: of Will Greer and Trey Lance. So Will Greer season,
Speaker 1: Hey he cooked in the preseason, Trey Greer season, Trey
Speaker 1: Greer rush to conclusions season. Yeah, yeah, just let them
Speaker 1: let them fight it out for that QB two. Let
Speaker 1: them fight it out. Interesting, may the best man win?
Speaker 1: Back to Tyler Smith really quickly? Do you feel like
Speaker 1: it's severe enough to where he is going some time?
Speaker 2: I won't to your intuition, I'm gonna i'll know today.
Speaker 1: I will say that not only was it heavily wrapped,
Speaker 1: he did have a bit of a limp. Again, this
Speaker 1: is an extra day because Monday night football, so that helps.
Speaker 1: But I need to see how he looks today, right,
Speaker 1: if he is If he looks today like he did yesterday,
Speaker 1: my concern heightens quite a bit. He's just he's been
Speaker 1: your best offensive lineman. And if he's on a bad
Speaker 1: wheel against the Houston Texans danger, Yeah, especially, it gets
Speaker 1: all the more reason to pull Rush back because you
Speaker 1: don't want him to get killed back there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, especially on that side.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying we're not distracted by tours, We're not
Speaker 1: distracted by tapping on a glass.
Speaker 5: You shouldn't have said that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna Yeah, we'll get to it. Yeah, we'll
Speaker 2: get to it. You want to get into a little
Speaker 2: QB vision early, I don't know if you want to,
Speaker 2: let's do it.

Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't have a flexibility to put my leg
Speaker 7: over my other leg.
Speaker 2: You don't have that.
Speaker 1: Some hip issues, hipp ability, that's what Overshow was looking
Speaker 1: down at you.
Speaker 2: All Right, let's talk about it. Let's knock it out
Speaker 2: the box.
Speaker 7: The Houston Texans defense is solid.
Speaker 2: I'm not sugarcoating anything. You guys know, I'm not a
Speaker 2: sugar coater.
Speaker 7: I know we partner up with some businesses that produce
Speaker 7: sugar water, but we don't sugarcoat around here.
Speaker 2: Their defense is solid. Their guy who pulls the.
Speaker 7: Strings became the head coach of the Houston Texans because
Speaker 7: of his defenses. His name is Demiko Ryans. He was
Speaker 7: a really good player. He's a really good coach. These
Speaker 7: guys are playing.
Speaker 6: For him, really good player for the Texans.
Speaker 2: For the Texans, for the Texans. That's becoming the thing now.
Speaker 6: You'll love to see it.
Speaker 2: Homegrown man.
Speaker 1: So so you're saying that Campbell, Okay, yeah, buddy, that's
Speaker 1: neither here nor there.
Speaker 2: I want to I want to look back. I want
Speaker 2: to look back a little bit.
Speaker 7: The last time that you face Demico Demico Ryan's defense,
Speaker 7: it was in a wild call round of twenty twenty
Speaker 7: two against the San Francisco forty nine ers.
Speaker 2: Everybody remember that game. I don't want to forget it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I know people are choosing to forget that,
Speaker 7: but you can't. You know, if you, if you, if
Speaker 7: you don't acknowledge history, you're bound to repeat it. So
Speaker 7: going back to that game, you did not know, did
Speaker 7: not have your best game.
Speaker 2: You didn't.
Speaker 7: You only had a handful of turnovers. I think you
Speaker 7: had one interception through the air. You only had two
Speaker 7: hundred and thirty yards passing. You have seventy seven.
Speaker 2: Yards on the ground.
Speaker 7: Their defense was dominant. They were in they were in
Speaker 7: Dak's face. They're in dak S face. Yeah, just leave
Speaker 7: it at pressure, Yeah, a lot of pressure.
Speaker 6: Well he's Dak can bounce back on this one, right, Yeah.
Speaker 7: He'll I don't even know if he'll be for the
Speaker 7: present from the game. Yeah, I think he's in New
Speaker 7: York somewhere. But let's get to their defensive line. Let's
Speaker 7: just knock it out the box. Okay, their defensive line
Speaker 7: is stacked. Okay, when I say stacked. It's mainly because
Speaker 7: of this. These two guys, one guy I believe is
Speaker 7: still injured and Will Anderson Junior. Yeah, but the other
Speaker 7: dude is Daniel Hunter fifty five. Find them, find them,
Speaker 7: don't don't let them be door. They explorer in this game.
Speaker 7: Just put a highlighter on him and track him because
Speaker 7: and pray he is and pray this year in his
Speaker 7: last few years he is playing. They traded for him
Speaker 7: from Minnesota. For those that don't know, they wouldn't got
Speaker 7: him because they needed another dude to play across from
Speaker 7: Will Anderson, because they wanted their defensive line to be unstoppable.
Speaker 7: And that's exactly what they've gotten when these two are
Speaker 7: on the field together. But when Anderson is out, it's
Speaker 7: almost like Daniel Hunter steps it up even more just
Speaker 7: to say I got you.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna cary you like a Jan Sport. But this
Speaker 7: dude is all over the place. If you guys go
Speaker 7: back and watch the game against Detroit. I know we
Speaker 7: were talking about it here in the break. He worked.
Speaker 7: He worked Pinay Suwel a number of times. And when
Speaker 7: I say work, I mean as I mentioned it in
Speaker 7: the break. You know as Alan Iverson you know, tim
Speaker 7: hardaway crossovers, slash, you know, white chocolate, you know what
Speaker 7: I'm saying from and one for those that can go
Speaker 7: back that far.
Speaker 6: Not like pensul is any good though, right, I.
Speaker 2: Mean he's only the second best rated office alignment in
Speaker 2: the league according to Pro Football Focus. Yeah pff he yeah.
Speaker 7: So he's a dude, man, He's big, he's physical, he's elusive,
Speaker 7: he does unorthodox type rushes along with him. They got
Speaker 7: some other dudes on the defensive front that we can
Speaker 7: go down a whole list, but it's really not necessary
Speaker 7: because it's more so what they do as a unit.
Speaker 7: They run a ton of stunts, a ton of stunts.
Speaker 7: They hardly ever just line up and come straight at you.
Speaker 7: These guys are their gap discipline while running stunts. And
Speaker 7: for those that don't know what stunts do to a
Speaker 7: offensive line is it confuses offensive linement because they will
Speaker 7: make you think that you're supposed to be blocking them. Right,
Speaker 7: You have an assignment as offensive linement, and then that
Speaker 7: guy will engage you, draw you to him, and then
Speaker 7: another guy will replace him, and then that guy who
Speaker 7: you originally had will then scrape over the top to
Speaker 7: where there's a now avoided space, So you end up
Speaker 7: with one guy on a block of two or three
Speaker 7: guys and one guy ended up free often and that
Speaker 7: happens often. And if Daniel Hunter decides to line it
Speaker 7: up and go against you, this dude has a pluthora
Speaker 7: type of rushes to try to get to the quarterback.
Speaker 7: So their defensive front is nasty. The linebackers are freaking nasty.
Speaker 7: Aziz al sha Here is nasty. Henry Tutu I like
Speaker 7: him as well.
Speaker 2: These guys.
Speaker 7: Just the front seven is solid as you go to
Speaker 7: the outside. Derek Stingley Junior, he's one of the few
Speaker 7: cornerbacks that will come up and hit you. He'll come
Speaker 7: up and hit you. He has no problem staying at
Speaker 7: the line of scrimmage and being a run force. I
Speaker 7: think that's one of the reasons why they're so good
Speaker 7: against the run, is because their cornerbacks are willing to
Speaker 7: get up there and put their head in there. We
Speaker 7: talk about it a lot in regards to our defense
Speaker 7: and whether or not our guys are willing to do that,
Speaker 7: but they do a great job with that. In terms
Speaker 7: of their past defense, their past defense is is solid
Speaker 7: as well. Okay, So as I started going down statistics, Okay,
Speaker 7: let me help you guys out. Defensive yards allowed two
Speaker 7: hundred eighty eight yards or third in the league in
Speaker 7: terms of yards allowed. Okay, they don't give up a
Speaker 7: lot of yards in terms of passing yards. I'm turning.
Speaker 7: In terms of sacks. They are second in the league
Speaker 7: in sacks second. We just finished talking about the second Yeah,
Speaker 7: behind the Vikings, and the Vikings blitz every play their
Speaker 7: second behind those guys and they're rushing four Mmm.
Speaker 4: Good talking against banged up offensive line that didn't really
Speaker 4: have a ton of rhythm to establish in the first place.
Speaker 2: You know what else, they're second at interceptions.
Speaker 1: I wonder why, no, Jared could be because the pass rushes.
Speaker 5: It's getting home or getting close at least I take that.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. They're not second in sacks. They're third in sacks.
Speaker 2: Now we're five.
Speaker 7: Second second interceptions, third in sacks, third and yards giving
Speaker 7: up I mean, top five defense.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's just leave it at that. Is that safe
Speaker 2: to say? Top top five in all categories? Okay?
Speaker 4: What's what's what's more impressive to you the personnel side
Speaker 4: of things? Because I know we're talking about some of
Speaker 4: these guys. I know, Daniel Hunter.
Speaker 2: Is a dude.
Speaker 4: Jalen Peatries played well since he was drafted a Baylor.
Speaker 4: Derek Stingley Junior has been decent on the outside as well.
Speaker 2: But it's not like.
Speaker 4: These these are names. No, these aren't the Nick Bosa's
Speaker 4: and the Fred Warners that he had to work with initially.
Speaker 4: These guys are becoming names through the scheme. So is
Speaker 4: it more impressive from a personnel standpoint?
Speaker 7: Glad, Glad you asked that this scheme is nasty. It's
Speaker 7: Mick nasty with a side of dipping sauce. The things
Speaker 7: that they do are very unorthodox and is very much
Speaker 7: so schemed up based upon their opponent. So one of
Speaker 7: the reasons why they they caused Jared Goff so many
Speaker 7: problems the other day is because they were doing double
Speaker 7: teams from from sets that you never see double teams from.
Speaker 7: They line up with a single high safety. They want
Speaker 7: to play cover three, but in that cover three, they're
Speaker 7: able to double team you're number one receiver. Really nasty stuff,
Speaker 7: and I'm talking about your receiver can be lined up.
Speaker 7: So for instance, I'm around Saint Brown right was on
Speaker 7: the left side numerous times, and he tried to run
Speaker 7: over routes to the right side. Well, the right the linebacker,
Speaker 7: the right outside linebacker ended up being the guy who
Speaker 7: ends up double teaming the crossing route when they check
Speaker 7: to their near side. If nobody's taking their guy vertical
Speaker 7: right as an inside linebacker or a roll down safety,
Speaker 7: if they don't have a vertical threat to their side,
Speaker 7: they are now turning and going and double teaming their
Speaker 7: best receiver.
Speaker 2: That's serial killer stuff.
Speaker 7: It's nasty because because in a cover three zone, they're
Speaker 7: supposed to be a void in that portion of the defense.
Speaker 7: But there's no longer a void because now where that
Speaker 7: void is, you're seeing your guy go across the formation
Speaker 7: trying to get to the soft spot of the zone.
Speaker 7: You see the safety over the top of him. In
Speaker 7: your head, you're like, oh, that safety, he can't do
Speaker 7: anything because he's behind my guy. Well, what you're not
Speaker 7: seeing is once you release the ball, the side that
Speaker 7: your receiver's going to is there's a guy waiting there.
Speaker 7: He's literally looking for that over route. He's literally going
Speaker 7: and double teaming your guy from the backside. So it's
Speaker 7: not even just hey, we got two guys are sitting
Speaker 7: here over ce d Lamb. We're gonna double team them
Speaker 7: right now.
Speaker 2: We got them.
Speaker 7: No, it's like, okay, we got one guy that's sitting
Speaker 7: over the top of ceed Lamb, and if he decides
Speaker 7: to go in, we got somebody waiting on him. The
Speaker 7: technique that they're utilizing is absurd, and they're using it
Speaker 7: on everybody. If you want to run across the formation,
Speaker 7: there's somebody waiting on you. You're not running across their
Speaker 7: formation unimpeded. And if you do feel unimpeded, you better
Speaker 7: look around because somebody's gonna be sitting there coming out.
Speaker 2: Somebody's coming out there, somebody's coming out there.
Speaker 7: It's really really sold for anybody who has the NFL
Speaker 7: Pro app go on there, watch watch some film. Just
Speaker 7: click on the defense and watch the last few games.
Speaker 7: They do some crazy stuff. Man and Demico Ryans has
Speaker 7: these guys playing lights out because he's asking less of
Speaker 7: his guys.
Speaker 2: He's at it is scheme, it is.
Speaker 7: Hey, we play as a unit, right, I'm not gonna
Speaker 7: make you chase somebody around the whole field. Don't worry
Speaker 7: about if he decides to go over there, we got him.
Speaker 7: If he decides. Yeah, if it decides, if he decides
Speaker 7: to go vertical, we got them.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Right.
Speaker 7: If they want to run things underneath, let them have it,
Speaker 7: let them have it. Most teams aren't patient enough to
Speaker 7: chip their way down the field. They can't run the
Speaker 7: ball if you drop back and wait for something to
Speaker 7: happen down the field. Well, we have a dude and
Speaker 7: by the name of Daniel Hunter, who's just a hunter. Yep, right,
Speaker 7: and those guys go eat. So that's why they're top
Speaker 7: five in every statistical category in defense. And as bad
Speaker 7: as their offense is playing right now, it's given their
Speaker 7: defense opportunity.
Speaker 4: So with all of that being said, where is the
Speaker 4: hope for a team that had under one hundred and
Speaker 4: fifty total yards and under fifty passing yards last week?
Speaker 7: Oh, we had sixty six passing yards for quarter six? Yeah,
Speaker 7: well combined we had sixty.
Speaker 2: Here. I was worried, can we can we find some
Speaker 2: hope offensively?
Speaker 7: I don't see. I don't see a glimmer of hope.
Speaker 7: I think that they're Can they get to one hundred
Speaker 7: and fifty yards?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Can they hit the can they find the end zone?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 7: The weak spot of the Dallas Texans right now is
Speaker 7: their offense. Yeah, they without Stefan Diggs, without without Nico Collins,
Speaker 7: they're struggling.
Speaker 4: And that's saying something because they're struggling, but they're still
Speaker 4: not Cowboys offense struggling.
Speaker 2: No, they're not that bad. I mean, that's that's that's
Speaker 2: really bad.
Speaker 4: And we talked about it a little bit yesterday because
Speaker 4: they still have some weapons. Nico Collins is their deep threat.
Speaker 4: He's their guy that they can rely on to be
Speaker 4: that oversea. Yes, he's back to Oh that's unfortunate.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so uh yeah, without him and the fold, they
Speaker 5: still were able.
Speaker 2: To move the balls. I'm sorry a little bit retract
Speaker 2: all of my statement. Yeah, so he's back. He's their
Speaker 2: game changer.
Speaker 7: Nico Collins changes their the whole dynamic of their offense,
Speaker 7: even with mixing that running back. Mixing is a bees obviously,
Speaker 7: he's told net thing they're running nothing one hundred and
Speaker 7: forty yards a game something like that.
Speaker 4: You know what I found out yesterday too, Yeah, Joe
Speaker 4: Mixon he's running four point I think it's a four
Speaker 4: point six yards per carry. You know who has more
Speaker 4: yards per carry than Joe Mixon. No, yes, probably Rico
Speaker 4: Daddle does.
Speaker 2: And you still don't give him the football. Sorry, that
Speaker 2: just had to bring They did one.
Speaker 5: Game, I mean one game, and you won that game.
Speaker 2: You put only two games Pittsburgh.
Speaker 7: Sorry, I didn't mean to paint that picture. But that's
Speaker 7: the real y'all. That's the real you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you're you're not trying to be I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm just shooting it straight. I mean, this, this defense
Speaker 2: is sick.
Speaker 8: But this does feel like the most hopeless you've been
Speaker 8: for the.
Speaker 7: It is and it has nothing to do with how
Speaker 7: Dallas is playing. Even if Dallas had all their all
Speaker 7: their tools, this defense is sick, man. And even I
Speaker 7: mean Dallas is lucky that that that Will Anderson Jr.
Speaker 7: Is not playing right because those fort he was just
Speaker 7: he's questionable.
Speaker 2: Question. There's a change he could play. Sorry to keep it,
Speaker 2: keep it.
Speaker 7: Please don't let him play like seriously, like, please don't
Speaker 7: let him play like.
Speaker 2: Those two together.
Speaker 6: Yeah nasty.
Speaker 7: It's about as Goomy and doom me as possible as
Speaker 7: you can imagine those two are, especially.
Speaker 2: If you're together.
Speaker 1: Can't run, So maybe use the quarterbacks plural that can run.
Speaker 1: Give yourself a chance, even if only a slim chit.
Speaker 2: You're trying to push this agenda.
Speaker 1: Ryan, I am have two hands on the car and
Speaker 1: I am pushed.
Speaker 6: Maybe get Rico out in some space and throw it.
Speaker 2: To him, just to give you, just give you an
Speaker 2: idea of how good this defense is.
Speaker 7: They have two guys on their bench that most people
Speaker 7: probably around the Cowboys Nation will probably know their name,
Speaker 7: Devin White and Derek Barnett.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they don't. They don't even touch the field.
Speaker 2: That's nasty the fact that they have to. They're buried
Speaker 2: on the depth chart. Yeah mmm mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: Jmiico is associopath man, But I mean it's like it's
Speaker 1: like Isaiah said, though, this is a.
Speaker 2: Coordinator now turned head.
Speaker 1: Coach coordinator, coordinator who gave Dak Prescott and that version
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys offense absolute fits. Now you don't have
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. You have an offensive line that's extremely banged
Speaker 1: up and was inconsistent with protecting even when they weren't
Speaker 1: banged up. You're struggling to figure out who's wide receiver two.
Speaker 1: Doesn't look like Cooks is going to be activated. His
Speaker 1: window for practice was not activated on yesterday, so he's
Speaker 1: not trending toward playing on Monday. We'll see if Jonathan
Speaker 1: Manko is on the field on Monday as they try
Speaker 1: to ramp him up. But even if he is, keep
Speaker 1: in mind he still needs to learn the playbook and
Speaker 1: the timing and you know, all of these things.
Speaker 6: Who's throwing it to him?
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush is throwing it to him. But will Cooper
Speaker 1: Rush have time to throw it to him? He doesn't
Speaker 1: have the escapable You have all these things. I could
Speaker 1: go on and on, all these things that are not
Speaker 1: working against you, that actually make you a worse and
Speaker 1: more questionable offense than you were the last time you
Speaker 1: saw Demico.
Speaker 2: And he shut you down.
Speaker 1: So to Isaiah's point, this isn't intentionally being dooing in gloom.
Speaker 1: This is just the science of the matter. Like this
Speaker 1: is is how it looks you are. If you're the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: you are going to have to figure out how to
Speaker 1: keep that defensive front off balance.
Speaker 2: You are.
Speaker 1: And this is why I say I'm two hands on
Speaker 1: the car and I'm pushing.
Speaker 2: I'm pushing because you need.
Speaker 1: To add the added dynamic of read options and QB
Speaker 1: designed runs and things like that, and of course, hand
Speaker 1: the ball off to Rico as much as you can.
Speaker 1: But this Texans defense, well, first of all, the offense
Speaker 1: is going to try to help use the score board
Speaker 1: to turn you into a one dimensional team. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then once once they do that ball game against this defensive.
Speaker 2: Front, yeah, ball. But that's the thing, like their offense
Speaker 2: is hitting like that right now.
Speaker 14: Now.
Speaker 7: Nicole Collins coming back changes absolutely everything, absolutely freaking everything.
Speaker 7: But are Dallas's defense now with Micah back, you have
Speaker 7: a chance because Shrouds throwing up some balls.
Speaker 2: He's throwing them up there. He's had six picks.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's been sacked the second most out of any
Speaker 7: quarterback outside of freaking was it Bryce Young?
Speaker 1: Now, now that being said, that's also throwing them up there? No, Nico,
Speaker 1: no Stefan, Well you gave that stat yesterday.
Speaker 2: What was it. Who's the only thing, Kayle Williams.
Speaker 7: Caleb has been sacked like forty five times. I think
Speaker 7: he's been sacked like thirty eight or something, thirty four,
Speaker 7: thirty four.
Speaker 2: But as far as throwing them up, no, Nico, no digs.
Speaker 1: He hasn't had the receivers that have been quarterback friendly, No,
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 7: So their offensive line is not doing a great job.
Speaker 7: They're away talking about it yesterday. The offensive line is
Speaker 7: is bad, but his tight ends it's just not happening.
Speaker 1: And they were allowed at what I say, seventeen sex
Speaker 1: between the two guards, so you could get pressure, yes,
Speaker 1: carrier right. But then we also talked about the fact
Speaker 1: that Strout excels at throwing under pressure when he has
Speaker 1: those QB friendly receivers like.
Speaker 2: A Nico, and he's his his velocity.
Speaker 7: I don't know what the heck's going on with him.
Speaker 7: He's floating a lot of freaking balls right now.
Speaker 2: I think he's banged out on It must.
Speaker 7: Be because his ball is in the air for twenty minutes,
Speaker 7: like serious, I mean hes, he has guys running around
Speaker 7: with Huggies.
Speaker 6: Work seems to be in the right places.
Speaker 7: This question at says question, but it's not consistent anymore.
Speaker 7: And I don't know if he's getting overly confident or what,
Speaker 7: but he's they're.
Speaker 6: Trying to do a little too much.
Speaker 7: He's had at least four interceptions. I went through and
Speaker 7: watched all his interceptions. There was at least four interceptions
Speaker 7: that he threw where he just like was overly confident,
Speaker 7: just eh, I got it.
Speaker 1: Well, here's here's where I am with it. And this
Speaker 1: is why where I keep going back and forth. First
Speaker 1: of all, it's the NFL. Anything can freaking happen. Anything absolute.
Speaker 1: Cowboys can absolutely win this game because it's the NFL.
Speaker 1: Man this week to week, both offensive lines are not
Speaker 1: playing good, right, and this this would be the most
Speaker 1: Cowboys thing to do.
Speaker 2: Four.
Speaker 4: I was kind of hoping that would happen last week. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I was kind of hoping that would happened against Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: And you were hoping it will happen against that you
Speaker 1: would hope it would happen. So I say that it
Speaker 1: can happen. It's possible. But as far as plausibility, likelihood,
Speaker 1: and probability.
Speaker 2: What's more probable. Is it more probable.
Speaker 1: That the Houston Texans, with all of their weapons and
Speaker 1: who their head coach is, they come in super pissed
Speaker 1: off at their two game losing streak and they stop
Speaker 1: their losing streak right there right in Dallas. Or is
Speaker 1: it more likely that this offense that we're talking about
Speaker 1: and this defense that's improving, but it's getting gassed now
Speaker 1: in the third quarter by the inefficiency and the non
Speaker 1: productivity of the offense, that they can somehow beat this
Speaker 1: particular Texans team.
Speaker 2: What's more likely?
Speaker 6: And drop yet another home game?
Speaker 2: What's more likely?
Speaker 6: That's where I'm at. I mean, I don't think the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: I'm over that. I'm over the whole tryan. It was
Speaker 2: two weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Remember two weeks ago I said I can't Maybe three
Speaker 1: weeks ago I said, I can't fathom the Cowboys losing
Speaker 1: a third straight home game, a fourth straight home game.
Speaker 1: That is no longer in my equation anymore.
Speaker 4: I can tell you that is it in your equation
Speaker 4: since you were bringing up the point.
Speaker 8: A little bit, a little bit, I think so because
Speaker 8: I feel like I just cannot I can't fathom a
Speaker 8: lossless home I can't fathom a lossless season for the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: No, They're going to win something, winless. Sorry. I have
Speaker 2: substantially more hope this week than I did last week.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the Texans have not serious Cowboys at home.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're off the wait wait, I want to put
Speaker 4: a pin in that something. I'm going to take our
Speaker 4: second break. Yeah, that's interesting the way you just said
Speaker 4: that you have a little bit more hope this week
Speaker 4: than you get last week substantial more amount of hope
Speaker 4: this week?
Speaker 5: All right, when we talk when we come back.
Speaker 4: There seemed like there was no hope on the offensive
Speaker 4: side of things just a moment ago. Why is the
Speaker 4: defense playing well enough to give you that substantial amount
Speaker 4: of hope?
Speaker 2: Moving forward?
Speaker 5: More talking cowboys.

Speaker 4: This segment has brought to you by in Visi Line,
Speaker 4: the Official Smile of the Dallas Cowboys. Back with Patrick
Speaker 4: no C Walker, Isaiah standback, Josh Rodriguesz, Chris Beam in
Speaker 4: the back. I'm Kyle Yeoman's all right, Isaiah, you said
Speaker 4: it substantial amount of hope. It's not coming from the offense,
Speaker 4: defense and special teams. Is that enough to win you
Speaker 4: football games at this point in time.
Speaker 2: If their offense is playing bad too? Yes?
Speaker 7: Okay, how so because now it's a defensive game. So
Speaker 7: now it just turns into field possession game. You know,
Speaker 7: where you receive, where you're getting the ball, at especially,
Speaker 7: so like, if.
Speaker 4: You get it at the six yard line, bro, then
Speaker 4: you turn into seven points.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 7: Listen, No, you got a Brandon Aubrey. I mean, it
Speaker 7: sounds stupid, It sounds stupid, but we've seen defensive games
Speaker 7: that are like thirteen that's thirteen to nine.
Speaker 2: You know, it's just crazy crazy defense that good though?
Speaker 2: What defense?
Speaker 7: No but Texas, but the Texans are playing that bad offensively. Yeah,
Speaker 7: So like that's my hope that what if there is hope,
Speaker 7: that's where your hope lies.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 7: Nico Collins being back diminishes that substantial.
Speaker 6: But Nico Collins coming back with a hamstring.
Speaker 2: I still think he's still gonna He's he's a possession receiver.
Speaker 2: He's a big play receiver.
Speaker 8: Another question, though, how would you account for the dual
Speaker 8: threat that Stroud brings you. We talked about this yesterday
Speaker 8: and I want to get your insights. Do you how
Speaker 8: do you cover the escapability of a seed Stroud.
Speaker 6: I know he's not going to run for you know.
Speaker 2: He doesn't scare me, like he really doesn't.
Speaker 6: So you wouldn't put any extra I think he.
Speaker 7: Has the ability to run, but he's I consider him
Speaker 7: like a he's like a Jordan love to me like
Speaker 7: he can run, but he really doesn't want to. You know,
Speaker 7: he's a chain mover. Yeah, he's a chamber and I
Speaker 7: don't think he wants to. And I think, so you'll
Speaker 7: let him have those extra guards. I mean, think about this.
Speaker 7: This is a perfect sound silly. But Mike is motivated.
Speaker 7: Mike's not only motivated because he's been gone for a while.
Speaker 7: He had a little he had a little taste of
Speaker 7: blood last week. He had a little taste. And now
Speaker 7: he goes against his one of his good buddies in Stroud,
Speaker 7: and these guys have been talking mess for a while,
Speaker 7: and I think he's gonna want to get back there
Speaker 7: and get after him. And then you have Demo who's
Speaker 7: running around and flying like a mad man. If he's
Speaker 7: able to be on the fields, those two together, it's nasty.
Speaker 7: Now Demo and Michael together, that's fast, just relentless type
Speaker 7: type of defense. Now, now you have to look at
Speaker 7: I'm sure that coach Zimmer is looking at this offensive
Speaker 7: line of the Texans and seeing where they're having struggles.
Speaker 7: They are having struggles passing off, passing off twists and
Speaker 7: games and all that stuffy they're terrible. I mean they're
Speaker 7: off wadded. I don't know what their offensive line is doing,
Speaker 7: what they're being taught, but they're really bad. So if
Speaker 7: he's seeing the same thing that I'm seeing, then you're
Speaker 7: not going to see our guys up front.
Speaker 2: Just line up.
Speaker 4: We talked about that a little last day. Outside of
Speaker 4: Laramie Tunsel. They're not playing well up front.
Speaker 2: So it's the same. I mean he's been decent, he's having.
Speaker 6: To account for that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all the line playing, it's like it's like Tyler Smith.
Speaker 4: I mean Tyler Smith is all alone on that offensive line.
Speaker 2: You're going to have some laughs.
Speaker 7: I truly think that Straw is going to have a
Speaker 7: rough time getting comfortable. If Zimmer please get in your bag,
Speaker 7: just just just get in your bag.
Speaker 1: But again, Murphy's law right, because you finally see what
Speaker 1: Demo is fully capable of when he when you allow
Speaker 1: him to be on demon time.
Speaker 2: And now he has burs sidis in his knee, so
Speaker 2: that might take some of his burst side persides. I mean.
Speaker 1: Say that, No, I'm not saying it's I'm not saying
Speaker 1: it's downrated side is just he's not one hundred percent.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's the management of swelling. Get the swelling out
Speaker 7: of there. Hopefully your body absorbs it faster than you know.
Speaker 7: Then you hope, and then you go in there, you
Speaker 7: pull the you get the need on there, you pull
Speaker 7: it out like precide isn't terrible, you know.
Speaker 2: So hopefully he'll be okay by game time.
Speaker 7: It's all about managing his load and so that your
Speaker 7: body can your body can reabsorb those fluids.
Speaker 6: Right like you just said, he has an extra day basically, yeah,
Speaker 6: he does.
Speaker 7: So that that's what his injury is. I'm not concerned
Speaker 7: about that. There's a chance that it can reswell up again.
Speaker 7: That sucks because it's just a mobility thing, all that jazz.
Speaker 7: But that's the injury. I'm not concerned. But you can
Speaker 7: get after these guys with their their offense and now
Speaker 7: again I keep throwing that in there. Number twelve being
Speaker 7: out there is different. I mean he literally that's their offense.
Speaker 7: He is their offense.
Speaker 2: And it is one thing.
Speaker 7: If he was just a big six four and twenty
Speaker 7: pounds receiver, that just just just takes the top off.
Speaker 2: He's a possession guy too. He'll get underneath.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and his stride is Himan he's like freaking It's like,
Speaker 7: I don't even know.
Speaker 4: He's seventeen yards per reception, which just tops in the
Speaker 4: NFL for qualified.
Speaker 2: He's a guy man, and they've got John Matchi back too.
Speaker 5: We talked about that a little bit yesterday.
Speaker 4: With John Matchi coming back and he's in the fold again,
Speaker 4: had a touchdown.
Speaker 2: Grab last and you have to respect Dale.
Speaker 7: I mean, he's not a great route runner, but he's
Speaker 7: he's a he's a depth guy.
Speaker 2: He's a guy who makes your safety is back up.
Speaker 7: And the reason why he's not that successful without Nico
Speaker 7: Collins is because okay, that's all you do. Yeah right,
Speaker 7: so I can, we got you covered, but when you
Speaker 7: put that Nico in there, now of a sudden, you
Speaker 7: got to back up, and now Nico kills you underneath. Yeah,
Speaker 7: he catches and runs. He doesn't just catching fall. He
Speaker 7: catches it. He's running with that thing.
Speaker 6: Who's covering Tank del That's my question for you.
Speaker 7: You got his own You can't. You can't play man.
Speaker 7: Zimmer doesn't play man anyway. So yeah, I mean, is
Speaker 7: those days are gone, Carson.
Speaker 5: But that's the thing.
Speaker 4: One of those two guys is either going to be
Speaker 4: digs or Carson because it doesn't look like Blam's playing again.
Speaker 7: This way is less about.
Speaker 5: Oh oh the safeties who also haven't been playing very well.
Speaker 1: What you have to be concerned about, well, I mean
Speaker 1: there's I'm concerned because y'all still haven't you mentioned it earlier,
Speaker 1: But we're talking receivers.
Speaker 2: You have to and I said this yesterday, you have to.
Speaker 1: Respect Joe Mixon's ability to become a receiver out of
Speaker 1: the backfield when they most needed. And one of the
Speaker 1: best things to do when you're trying to get a
Speaker 1: young quarterback into an early rhythm is you give him
Speaker 1: those quick outs and those quick dump offs the U
Speaker 1: to the running back and so that he can get
Speaker 1: in that little rhythm and it gets his confidence up
Speaker 1: so he can start taking those shots downfield. Now, granted,
Speaker 1: you look at his yards Joe Mixon as a receiver
Speaker 1: this year, only one hundred and fifty yards receiving, but
Speaker 1: nine point nine yards per reception. So when he's targeted,
Speaker 1: that's damn near first down every single time C. J.
Speaker 2: Stroud targets him.
Speaker 1: And they can use that to keep guys like the
Speaker 1: marve On over shown in Michael Parson's off balance and
Speaker 1: then if you because you have to respect that. What
Speaker 1: you should respect above all is Joe Mixon's ability to
Speaker 1: take the ball as a direct handoff and do some
Speaker 1: damage there.
Speaker 2: So good news is the Cowboys we talked about.
Speaker 1: They were able to contain b Jeon Robinson on the ground,
Speaker 1: contain Saquon Barkley on the ground. But the asterisk there was.
Speaker 1: Bjeon was able to do real damage as a receiver and.
Speaker 2: Was able to do some damage.
Speaker 1: Sakwan didn't do as much damage as a receiver as Bjeon,
Speaker 1: but he did.
Speaker 2: Damage in critical situations.
Speaker 7: Did you guys talk about offense in terms of who
Speaker 7: needs to step up as a receiver? We did, but
Speaker 7: you weren't here, so talk yeah after it. I don't
Speaker 7: I don't like throwing guys on it. I don't consider
Speaker 7: throwing it under the bus. Because this is what we
Speaker 7: see on film. The effort has to improve, just flat
Speaker 7: out outside outside of it has been.
Speaker 2: It has been.
Speaker 7: Troy Aben was not wrong by his sentiments, because Troy
Speaker 7: Aibman was not wrong. Broke it down then on film.
Speaker 7: They led me to the film and to say, what
Speaker 7: is he talking about?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 7: Because that's out of character for Troy Aikman to make
Speaker 7: a state to both make a statement like that, especially
Speaker 7: against his brand. Call it what it is. I went
Speaker 7: back and looked at it. It affirmed everything he said.
Speaker 7: It has not it has not improved, and it's very unfortunate.
Speaker 7: I'm not even gonna say name is gonna say, go
Speaker 7: back and watch the film. Go look at the play
Speaker 7: where Trey Lance through an interception last week. It's not
Speaker 7: Trey Lance's fault. I said, that's not Trey Lance's faut
Speaker 7: said it wasn't it?
Speaker 2: Really? I almost said a word I can't say on
Speaker 2: the air. It makes me mad.
Speaker 7: It really makes me mad that you have a young
Speaker 7: quarterback that's going in there trying to get a spark
Speaker 7: for your offense, trying to get this trying to get
Speaker 7: him fighting for his career, fighting for this team, and
Speaker 7: you have tail it out there on routes.
Speaker 2: It really there's no place for it. There's no place.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: We talked to McCarthy about that specific play yesterday and
Speaker 1: McCarthy said, in looking at it, Jalen Tobert didn't think
Speaker 1: the ball was coming his way.
Speaker 2: Here's the problem I have with that, said his name.
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, because we're talking about this play in
Speaker 1: that interception, right. The problem I have with that particular
Speaker 1: thing is whether you whether the play is coming your
Speaker 1: way or not. If it's not coming your way, you're
Speaker 1: the decoy. If you're the decoy, you have to run
Speaker 1: the route as if the ball was coming your way.
Speaker 2: Otherwise you're telling them that it's not coming your way.
Speaker 2: That's number one.
Speaker 1: Number two, you have to understand that the quarterback might
Speaker 1: have to go through his reads and read one and
Speaker 1: two might not be there, so it still might come here.
Speaker 1: Let me let me just clear this up. Is better
Speaker 1: than that play he put on filming.
Speaker 7: But it's not just that play. Yeah, it's it's not
Speaker 7: just that play. That's my problem. There's a number of
Speaker 7: interceptions that.
Speaker 2: I really did.
Speaker 4: I thought Tolbert was a guy that was going to
Speaker 4: step up and take that step forward.
Speaker 2: He has not done.
Speaker 7: So there was a number of interceptions that Dak had
Speaker 7: this year were the same individual was doing the same
Speaker 7: exact thing.
Speaker 1: I'll say, But now it's the question mark is back
Speaker 1: at the wr go back in the season, he was like, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: he's taking that step and now it's just.
Speaker 2: Like it's not. It's My issue is effort. Okay.
Speaker 7: My issue isn't affectiveness. My issue is an ability to
Speaker 7: get in and out your breaks. My vision, catch its effort.
Speaker 7: Go look at every interception that Dallas Cowboys have this
Speaker 7: year and see what they just just watching. Go on
Speaker 7: NFL Pro and say all Dallas Cowboys interceptions, look it
Speaker 7: up and it will break it down for you, every
Speaker 7: single one.
Speaker 2: Just watch.
Speaker 4: And also not to mention if if Jalen Tolbert was
Speaker 4: stepping up and he was a true wide receiver two
Speaker 4: or even.
Speaker 2: Three, then you still have your fourth round pick.
Speaker 5: Correct, You don't spin the fourth roundly.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 4: They that told me a lot of how they feel
Speaker 4: about him, yep, And it told me a lot about
Speaker 4: how is his response going to be better going into
Speaker 4: this game now that they've made that trade.
Speaker 5: And then of course seeing that players, it was really discouraging.
Speaker 2: And in bottom line, not to pile on on JT.
Speaker 2: He's not the only one.
Speaker 1: Every receiver not named Cede Lambs do better.
Speaker 2: Yeah period, Yeah, all.
Speaker 4: Right tomorrow, let's say it with your chest. Friday, We've
Speaker 4: got a little bit of hope. Isaiah kind of took
Speaker 4: that hope away initially and then built us substantial, and
Speaker 4: then and then built it back up to where we
Speaker 4: can we can win this game.
Speaker 5: It can happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brandon Aubrey, let's go, Yeah, Brandon, let's go.
Speaker 5: Stranger Things. That's the theme of the week.
Speaker 2: All right. That does it for us?
Speaker 4: For Chris Beam in the back, Isaiah's stand back, Josh Rodriguez, Patrick,
Speaker 4: No see walk around, Kyle Yovan saying so long from
Speaker 4: Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 2: We'll see you tomorrow.
Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
