Welcome to the latest edition of 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:49.000 The Break. We are live from the WBC Mortgage Studios 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.680 at the Star, presented by LGLG is the world's number 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.480 one o ED TV brand for eleven years and counting. 0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:58.320 See why at LG dot Com, Forward slash o led evo. 0:00:58.560 --> 0:00:59.480 How's everybody doing today? 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:00.560 Doing well? 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:01.000 Awesome? 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.240 Less jump in, lots of topics for us to hit today. 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.399 We're going to jump into the breakdown between the Cowboys 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:09.760 and the Eagles, so they were focusing on the Eagles 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.600 offense versus the Dallas defense. But before we get there, 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.360 I want to start first with a couple of roster 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:21.319 moves that happened yesterday. Dallas releases Jordan Phillips and Andrew Booth. 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.240 My question is more around Jordan Phillips. Why do you 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.319 think they made the move to get rid of Phillips 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.760 at this point, knowing that the defensive tackle position is 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:32.720 what it is for this team and if nothing more, 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.600 nothing else, he was still a body that maybe you 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.160 could throw in there and see what you could get 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:37.560 out of him. 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.360 Yeah, definitely a lot of discourse around whenever he went 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.039 on the injured reserve list for his wrist issue that 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:44.880 he was battling. I mean, it was a rist issue 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.000 that he had suffered in the Dallas game last year 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.840 when he was playing for Buffalo, had surgery on it 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:56.080 and you know, didn't look necessarily one in the first 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.560 couple of games of the season, Cowboys put him on IR. 0:01:58.640 --> 0:01:59.560 He disagreed with it. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:01.800 Sure, that disagreement, you know, led to a few more 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.320 disagreements and eventually yesterday's conclusion and he's back in Buffalo today. 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:07.400 Yeah, it was a quick move from Buffalo to to 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.639 then go out and sign him and bring him back 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:10.280 into the team. 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.160 So never felt more wrong about a player watching tape 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.880 than him. Kind of felt like when we saw him 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.360 in the preseason or when I saw him that here's 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.440 a guy. You watched him play against Dallas, You watched 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.280 him play against the Commanders, watched the play against the Eagles, Chiefs, 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.960 other teams. Guy was a very productive player. Guy was active. 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.160 Guy was a three technique. Guy was playing on the 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.360 side of the line of scrimmage. Guy was given Tyrone 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.919 Smith problems, you know when he lined up a little 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:36.560 wide against him a couple of times. 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:39.320 That one was really strange to me. 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.919 That that that that that shakes you a little bit 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.960 when you look at a player and you feel like, 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.000 you know, obviously they felt like, you know, he was 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.480 with the Giants. The Giants weren't playing him, They had 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.720 Giants had a lot of young defensive tackles. Maybe should 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.920 have probably known something then what was going on. But 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.120 clearly won the same player and I but I never 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:01.320 felt like I really got out of a really good 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:06.360 view of him here. But you know, Mike Zimmer front 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:08.880 of office, all those guys, I mean, they quickly moved on. 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.200 And so that's when it shakes you a little bit, 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.840 because you're watching a player and you're thinking, Okay, this 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.680 guy's got a shot because he can do these he 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.600 has these kinds of traits and when none of that 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.480 shows up, then you're you're like, man, did I really 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.840 miss this player that bad? And I think there have 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.160 some questions if they missed that player that bad too? 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:30.600 Can I throw this thought out there? 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:31.040 Is it? 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.000 In your experience? Have you seen situations like this? 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:35.040 No? 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.120 In your experience, have you seen situations like this where 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.680 it wasn't that the player was different. It was what 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.120 he was being asked to do that was different. 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.960 You know what I when I was in pro personnel, 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.480 I always had an idea what we were trying to do. 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:51.680 I always had an idea what we were trying to. 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:52.640 Do scheme wise. 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.040 So sometimes you know, you're like, Okay, this guy has 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.680 these traits and this trait, and you know, I was 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.160 thinking maybe this guy would play one technique. You know, 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:02.960 he's a big guy. I mean it was you know 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.480 he but he was so active in the way he played. 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:07.920 Everybody's like, no, he's going to play the three. And 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.600 I'm like, okay, great, you know that's that's fine. I mean, 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.200 he's got some three technique traits to him. But you 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.760 felt like that he could fit in, you know, as 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.760 a rotational player. You know, maybe if he played him 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.000 twenty twenty five snaps, and you know he could he 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.520 could be part of that because of the things you 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.680 saw pass rush, you saw quickness, you saw his ability 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.240 to play outside the tackle box. 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:32.000 Hell, he's probably. 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:33.800 Gonna go to Buffalo and he's gonna probably help when 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.159 them win a game against Kansas City or the Ravens 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.320 or something, and you're gonna go, Okay, now, now I 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:39.200 don't feel terrible. 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:40.760 Now he's the guy you thought he was. He just 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:41.320 didn't work. 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.119 Out right, and maybe maybe you know, hey, when things 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.400 go bad, you know, like you say, when you're a 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.800 personal guy and you bring somebody in and it doesn't 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.719 work out, you really want to hide. 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:53.400 You don't want to go to lunch, You don't want 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:54.479 to talk to anybody. 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.560 You just you know, you you don't even just want 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.320 to see the general manager. Yeah, you really don't, because 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.320 you're just you're like, well, hey, we brought this guy 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.280 in because you said he could play, and he can't 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.560 play dead, you know, And that's the problem that you 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:12.760 run into, you know, especially when the season is going bad. 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.520 When the season starts to go bad, you just want 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.520 to close your door and just watch tape and try 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.279 and get to the next task because you're just you know, 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.760 I mean, you know they traded, they gave a significant 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.000 pick yesterday for a wide receiver. You know the pro 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:29.960 department has a hand in that. I mean, you kind 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.320 of feel like, boy, we're running some bad luck right now, 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:36.640 or evaluations you're questioning. You're now starting to question a 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.000 little bit about do we see these guys? 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.320 Are we seeing these guys the right way? And that's 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:43.760 a terrible feeling to have. 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.440 Well, what makes it difficult, I think for me, is like, 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.080 how do you truly judge a player when you see 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:56.360 a collective group of people that are playing bad or 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.159 not well or how you expect them, how do you 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:03.200 give a proper judgment to where? What about what if 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:08.919 it's me? What if I'm saying as far as staff, no, no, no, no, I'm. 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:10.640 Saying I say that a lot. 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.560 What I'm trying to say is, let's say this guy, right, 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.600 they get rid of him and all of that. But 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.719 then when you have so many other players on your defense, 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:24.200 on your overall in the team that are playing bad, like, 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.279 how do you how do you truly can get a 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:29.160 full evaluation that maybe it's not the player, maybe it's 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.440 your system. Maybe it's what you're doing. Yeah, that is 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:32.120 what I'm trying to say. 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.320 Yeah, that's that's where you want to close the door, 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.560 and you want to hope that at the end of 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.000 the year that you still have a gig, that you 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.880 still that you're not going out with you know, everybody else, 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.400 because they're going to make an evaluation. They're going to say, hey, 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:46.880 you know, you've had a lot of misses here, you know, 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:50.640 or the coaches have done you know, coaches that if 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.880 you're one of those scouts that have really evaluated and 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.320 helped them bring guys in and players have played, you know, 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:57.960 you get a little bit of a pass on that. 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.240 But then the general manager has to evaluate, like you 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:05.960 just said, the coaching, the scheme, all those things. I 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:07.960 think all those things are up for debate at the 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.440 end of the year, especially if you haven't had success. 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.200 And I think these coaches know that, you know, I 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:17.400 think that's the hard thing. And you know, unfortunately and 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.600 fortunately on the same time, because of the injuries here, 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.320 you don't have to ask this coach to play young players. 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.600 He's already playing young players because of injury. So you're 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.840 at least you're getting an ideas. You know, if you're 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.360 going badly and you're doing it with veteran players and 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.920 you weren't hurt, and you know, you would be like, 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.040 any chance we could see lea foul play a little more, 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.040 any chance we could see you know, you would go 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.320 in there and ask a coach that when they're fighting 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:46.280 for their job. Now, it's like you don't really have 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.920 to do that because you're just seeing it. You're seeing 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:54.880 But to your point, absolutely, they this front office, general managers, 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.240 the director, player personnel, will all these guys need to 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.520 evaluate what was the problem this year or what's been 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:02.360 the problem through. 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.240 Nine games this year? Yeah, and what I hope did 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:05.679 we miss? 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:09.480 What I hope is that it doesn't get boiled down 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:13.720 to just injuries, because we all will remember, if we 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.680 want to, that New Orleans game and you had a 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.000 lot of guys out there for that game, and that 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:22.080 game look like you were just getting You got destroyed 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:25.160 by that by a not that good team, and a 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.040 lot of that. When I look at it, and I'll 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.120 point out a couple different units. I'll point out the 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.400 defensive unit as a whole, I'll point out the offensive line, 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.080 and I'll point out the receivers, and what you see 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:38.840 in all those different groups is across the board, they 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.439 just don't seem like they're performing up to the standard. 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:42.079 Right. 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:45.200 We've Troy Aikman talked about the receivers, We've talked about 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:48.280 the offensive lines. Guys on that offensive line that we've 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:50.080 been used to playing at a certain level that this 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:53.600 year are well below that level. Right this defense that again, 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.880 you expect a lot of these players individually to be 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:57.959 playing above a certain level, but as a unit they're 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.760 playing below it. I think those are instances where you 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.360 have to ask what's going on with the coaching, what's 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.559 going on with what they're being taught, what they're being 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.520 asked to do, how they're being drilled, and the things 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.599 they should do if they keep getting beat on the 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.079 same thing. Are we drilling this enough in practice to 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.520 where they see it enough to where they're making the adjustments. 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:17.680 Those are all the questions that I have, And my 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:22.439 guess is that the GM, the owner, the coach, head coach, 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.679 the player personnel guys, everybody's going to be asking those 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.480 kinds of questions as you start trying to dissect what's 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:29.839 happening this season to this team. 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:31.440 Yeah, and I think part of the question is also 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.440 figuring out what else you have that has not played, 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.280 you know, and try to figure that out over the 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.080 course of the next nine games or however many are left. 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.160 I think there's still there's still a lot of answers 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.040 that need to be There are a lot of questions 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:44.480 that need to be answered as far as the depth 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.160 on this team. You know, we've talked about guys like 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:50.319 Awesome Richards or marslefl or A. Gosh, I'm trying to 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.040 think of some other guys that are that are around. 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:54.840 I mean, if Jordan Phillips isn't playing, you're gonna see 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.079 a lot more of Osa Digizua. Yeah, you might even 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.520 see an opportunity for like a guy like Denzel Dackson 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.640 maybe later down the season to get an elevation, you know. 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.520 I mean, there's there's tons of possibilities. So there's still 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:07.960 questions that could be answered by this evaluation staff. I mean, like, hey, 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:09.439 at least we found that guy and he played in 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.000 week fifteen, sixteen seventeen, and we can take that into next. 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:13.040 Year a little bit of confidence. 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.600 So I think there's still there's still a lot of 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:16.800 left on the table. 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:18.000 As far as what could be determined. 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.480 Does does it worry you a little bit that maybe 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:21.720 when you add. 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:25.120 A wide receiver that they won't address a wide receiver 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:29.040 in the draft? Yeah, that always scares the first part 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:29.520 in my mind. 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.200 That scares me a little bit when and I think 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.520 it happened at running back. I think it happened at 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.079 running back for sure. I think it happened when they 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.240 had an idea that they were going to get Zeke back, 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.480 you know, and it maybe it maybe it maybe your 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.439 eye wasn't on the ball and you're thinking, Okay, we've 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.439 got we've got Zeke, you know, and he's going to 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.360 come back. Maybe we don't have to, you know, it 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.240 turns into well, this guy is not as good as Zeke, 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:55.840 or this guy is not as good as that. I'm 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:57.880 talking about the draft picks. Yeah, you know, all of 0:10:57.920 --> 0:10:59.880 a sudden, he gets yeah, there's guys that are better. 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.120 Then they start coming off the board, and then you're like, man, 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.520 we need this linebacker more than we need this running back. 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:06.200 You know. 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.760 And I understand why they when they got lea foul. 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.760 I get it because we all talked about what the 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:15.360 linebacker situation was last year they needed linebackers on. 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.480 This team, and they ended up needing in this year. 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:21.000 Yeah, and to a man, they were talking about lea 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.400 foul as a you know when they came in here 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.880 when we were doing the draft coverage, the Draft show, 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:29.760 with the Draft weekend, you could it was praise, praise, praise. 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:31.679 The kid's a good player. I mean, he just has 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:33.880 He's played in bass packages. They played a lot of 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.959 bass when he's had opportunity. He's done okay, he's done 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.760 okay on special teams. But then you kind of look 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:43.960 at the situation. Did the thought about Zeke keep you 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:49.000 or maybe even dabtle, did that keep you from really 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.520 keeping your eye on the ball and trying to upgrade 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:52.079 that position? 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.000 You know what, when they were asked about it after 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.440 each day in the press conferences and talking about hey 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.920 so running back, Hey so running back, Jerry would bring 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:02.880 so I think I think that's a direct point. 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.040 But here's the flip side of that. I don't worry 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.360 so much about that this year mainly because there is 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:12.360 no position that if the Dallas Cowboys are on the 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.840 clock and they're like, this is a better player, I'd 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.000 be upset with them taking I don't think they go 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.679 into this draft saying I need a receiver. If they do, 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.080 they also should be saying I could take a tackle. 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.520 I don't pressure guard take it. You know, you can 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.719 go down the list, and so it's not one. 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:28.839 Yeah, So for me, I look at it and I'm 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.360 not so worried about that. If it happens that you 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:34.200 don't get a receiver but you got a safety, it 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.360 happens that you got a corner, it happens that you 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.320 got a tackle, if you get all those other positions, fine, 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:41.680 you're not going to address everything this this draft. 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:42.200 You can't. 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.480 There are too many areas where you need talent and 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:46.559 you need depth. So they're not going to address everything. 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:47.800 So I'm comfortable with that. 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.880 Yeah, I just to me, it's it's it's funny. 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:54.000 I don't want to great problem to have if you 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:55.960 can take. 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:59.520 Anybody like position, you know, I mean, but that also 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:01.280 that that just shows you where you're. 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.360 At a yeah, right, yeah you're not. 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:04.800 That's a problem in it of itself. 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.200 Right, you're you're not. You know you're not. Maybe you 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:08.160 know you're maybe not. 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.880 The commanders who makes it makes a big deal yesterday 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.600 for a corner you know, they're feeling like, you know, 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.640 if we're really if we're if we're really gonna be 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.360 good at this, we're gonna we're one player away. Now, 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.640 that may be completely wrong about that, because I think 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.559 they got other issues too. But these teams that are 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:25.880 these these teams like Detroit. 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:27.920 They wouldn't got a pass rush, win't got a pass rusher. 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.319 They you know, that's what you got to do. Got 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:31.080 to go out and get that. 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.360 Yeah, runds both sides of the ball. 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.240 You said, the Ravens on both sides of the ball. 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.000 Oh yeah, yeah, I getting to receive random corner. 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:37.240 Yeah. 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.800 But that's also like again, I just think that's that's 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.080 where those teams are right now, and it's I think, yeah, 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.400 Dallas is not there. There's not in that same boat 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.960 with those teams, obviously, I mean that's being captain obvious, 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:48.960 but they're not there. Those teams are in positions where 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.000 they are battling to see if they can get ahead 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:53.400 of the next team because they think they got a 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:54.120 legitimate shot. 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.160 I just don't want this to turn in where they 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.240 have you know, say you have ten picks. You know, 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:01.320 now you've just moved on from one of those picks 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.400 or the selections you have. I don't want it to 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.240 turn into like, Okay, now we've got to use two 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:08.520 more picks to get back in the forth, because we 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:12.440 you know, and now you've used three picks too on 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.080 one player basically, you know, and I and I, And. 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.040 It's best if that player doesn't end up being and 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:17.640 that's what I'm saying. 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.120 Yeah, he's going to have an opportunity to show up 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.400 and see what he can do, and I'm willing to 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:25.640 give him the benefit of that. I appreciate the fact 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:29.200 they went and tried. I just don't like the compensation myself. 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:30.040 That's just me. 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.120 But you know, I hope it doesn't turn into, well, 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.160 now we've now we can't get back in the fourth, 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:36.880 and we didn't. Now we want to get back in 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.200 the forth, and now you have to use picks, multiple 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.200 picks to trade with somebody to get back in the forth. 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:45.920 You know, now it turns into well, wait a minute, 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:47.960 if you just wouldn't have made the trade, we'd had 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.920 all our compliment conflidens of picks and we'd been just fine. 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.000 But you know, if you if you end up having 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.640 to trade two more picks just to get back in 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.440 the round that that's going to be. You know, that's 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:00.240 something I'm sure we're going to point out if that 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:01.760 happens now on the Draft Show. 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:03.720 Now, all right, let's take our first break. When we 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:05.960 come back, we're gonna talk about the Eagles, will jump in, 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:07.560 talk a little bit about what their team looks like 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.320 over all, and then we'll get into the offense.

At the start of the segment brought to 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:08.919 you by blockchain dot Com. Listening real quickly they're in 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.320 the break. Mike McCarthy's doing his press conference. One thing 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:13.159 he already mentioned a little bit of news. Says that 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:17.440 DeMarcus Lawrence and Brandon Cooks neither will have their twenty 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.720 one day practice windows open today, but he is optimistic 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:24.440 about how both of them are progressing. That being tweeted 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:27.359 by our own Tommy Yarsh Any surprises there that those 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:30.360 guys aren't ready to kind of to be put back 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.080 into the I guess open that twenty one day window. 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:33.320 Yeah. 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:34.679 I think there's good news and bad news in that 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:36.920 one sentence. The good news being that DeMarcus Lawrence is 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.160 in the same sentence as Brandon Cooks. The bad news 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:40.959 being that Brandon Cooks is in the same sentence as 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:44.760 DeMarcus Lawrence. So because I didn't put them together exactly exactly, 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:45.840 but I think. 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:50.440 That goes to show never take an infection, not seriously, 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.400 Like I cannot believe it has taken this long from 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.760 Brendan Cooks to not come back. Like I imagine you 0:18:56.840 --> 0:19:00.560 get enough antibiotics in there in your body and then 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.200 next thing you know, you're out here running. Man. That 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:05.120 must have been a pretty bad infection. 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.240 Some infections can be nagging and they can last time 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:15.439 kill you. Yeah yeah, so yeah, definitely still Uh not 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:17.160 only does he have to recover from that, but also 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:19.399 from the knee itself that he had the injection to 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:22.680 begin with. So and then DeMarcus Lawrence progressing well from 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:24.400 his foot as well. So yeah, I think that's interesting. 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:24.840 All right. 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:27.520 Uh, let's talk about the Eagles right now. They are 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:29.840 six and two. They're second in the NFC East. 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:30.600 Uh. 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.800 They have lost to the Atlanta Falcons. They lost twenty 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:36.639 to twenty one, and lost to Tampa Bay back when 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:38.479 Tampa Bay Bay was at full Tran. Tampa Bay has 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.480 beating him the worst anybody has this year. They've beaten 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:41.520 thirty three or sixteen. 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:42.200 Uh. 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:44.680 The only really key win that I've seen on their 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:47.920 on their schedule was the one against Green Bay. Green 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.119 Bay is six and three and leading their second in 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:52.760 their division. Uh, they won that game thirty four to 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.960 twenty nine. Day, yes, back in Week one, right exactly. 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.359 But here's here's who who else they've beat. They've beat 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.399 New Orleans two and seven. Cleveland, Yeah, they beat Cleveland, 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:04.439 wo's two and seven. They beat the Giants who are 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:06.800 two and seven. They beat Cincinnati, who's four and five. 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.479 They beat Jacksonville, who's two and seven. My question for 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.239 you is how good is this Eagles team? Because they 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:15.000 really haven't beaten better teams. They've beaten a lot of 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.639 bad teams. And again this is not about the Cowboys, 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:19.600 because you would say the Cowboys are in the category 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.000 with some of those other teams. But how good they are. 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:23.879 For the Eagles to beat the Cowboys? Yeah? 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:25.880 But how good is this Eagles team? Do you think? 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:29.359 I think they are inconsistent and each game shows a 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.200 little bit of a roller coaster. Now a team that 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:34.040 has won four games in a row, why are they inconsistent? 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:34.560 What are you saying? 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:34.800 Nick? 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:37.239 I am looking at four teams that are under five 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:40.040 hundred at the moment, So I think at times you 0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:42.560 see the Eagles play their best and they're a rushing 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:45.160 attack with the Jalen Hurds and Saquon Barkley, and they're 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:47.239 tough and they're physical and they're mean, and then at 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:50.920 their worst, they cannot they can't get off the field defensively, 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:54.040 they can't get a first down offensively. Hurts makes bad decisions. 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:57.960 It's it's an up and down roller coaster of a team. 0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:00.119 It's very similar to what we saw last year with 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:02.359 certain things from that final stretch that the Eagles had 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:05.240 last year refined in the sense that Hurts isn't making 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:07.760 as poor of decisions. I think they're head coaches, but 0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:10.960 there's there's ye man, and when when Nick siri. 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:13.960 Keep in a game, you will know, well, keep you 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:14.320 in a game. 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:15.240 It is It's wild. 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:18.480 Yeah, I know they Nick's absolutely right. The one thing 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:21.760 is they are wildly inconsistent, though. I think I think 0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:24.240 sa Kuon Barkley, though, has made a huge difference for them. 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:27.560 Yeah. I think it's taken some pressure off Jalen Hurts. 0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:28.320 Uh. 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:30.960 You know, they they've struggled with some injuries on this 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:34.040 offensive line. They still got outstanding skill. They've struggled with 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:35.440 injuries at the wide receiver spot. 0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:35.680 A J. 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:38.320 Brown, you know, is currently dealing with a knee injury. 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:41.440 Dallas Goddard's dealing with a hamstring injury. You know, they 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:44.000 play a ton of twelve personnel, the two tight ends, 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:46.879 one back. They're really that's something that you know, Kellen 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:50.600 Moore is really is kind of uh gone to with 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:55.240 this with this current group. Their offensive line at times, 0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:58.560 uh blocks really well in the running game. I mean, 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:00.560 they do a good job of coming on off the ball, 0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:03.080 getting in the guys and then getting the second level. 0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:04.000 Their center. 0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:05.840 They tried to do the same things with like what 0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:09.320 they had with Kelsey, where if he's uncovered, they pull 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:12.320 him out in space, they block everybody down. You know, 0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:15.280 there's there's a there's a lot of things to to 0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:18.400 kind of take from their from their offensive line and 0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:20.400 their scheme and the way that Kellen Moore is trying 0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:22.920 to run the ball. But I just think the biggest 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:25.159 difference right here with this team is is the the 0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:28.240 addition of Sakuon Barkley. I think that that I think 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.000 that's what makes this team tough for Dallas to have 0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:34.080 to deal with, because they they can you can hand 0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:35.639 him the ball and it's going to get to the 0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:37.560 edge and then it's going to get around you know, 0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:41.000 Dallas has played Saquon Barkley before, but it's every time 0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:45.119 he's not healthy. He he looks like the player that 0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:48.439 everybody thought he was going to be, uh when he 0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:50.800 first came in the league from Penn State. Every seems 0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:53.400 like we played with the Giants. That quarterback play wasn't 0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:56.640 good enough, The offensive line wasn't good enough, the receivers 0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:59.919 weren't good enough. I mean they they He's got guys 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:03.280 around him where he doesn't have to completely carry the load, 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:04.320 but he can. 0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:07.120 You know, he makes a lot of plays. He makes 0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:08.560 a lot of plays in the passing game. 0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:10.960 You know, they run wheel routes. They ran two real 0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:14.520 wheel routes to him. Both been touchdowns, you know. I 0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:17.400 mean they could throw him the ball, they can hand 0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:21.080 him the ball, They'll put him in the wildcat, they'll 0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:24.200 snap him the ball. You know, it's going to be 0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:27.879 a challenge for Dallas to have to stop this, stop 0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:30.160 this Philadelphia rushing attack in that way. 0:23:30.440 --> 0:23:34.439 Yeah, Barkley is a difference maker completely. And not only 0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:37.359 has he been a big difference but that offensive line 0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:38.760 and they had to do a lot of shuffling this 0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:40.480 past offseason. I got to give them credit to Howie 0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:43.800 Roseman or whoever constructed that offensive line in the absence 0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:46.200 of a couple of guys. They did a really good job. Granted, 0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:47.879 I think there is a whole at left tackle that 0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:51.480 we'll probably get into here in a moment, but Barkley 0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:53.080 wasn't the only guy they went and got from New York. 0:23:53.119 --> 0:23:56.640 Makai Becton and has been really good in run block 0:23:56.960 --> 0:23:58.760 and I really like what he brings to the right 0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:01.080 guard position. He was a former for shround pick, played 0:24:01.080 --> 0:24:03.119 with the Jets for a while, never really found his footing, 0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:04.919 but it looks like he has found his footing in 0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:07.120 Philadelphia and he has been paving ways on the right 0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:10.320 side of that offensive line for Saquon Barkley, and Barkley's 0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:12.040 just finding a lot of room up front. Granted, I 0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:14.040 don't want to take anything away from Saquon Barkley because 0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:16.480 he's a talented runner. He's a physical runner. He's not 0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:18.280 a guy you want to bring down. But this offensive 0:24:18.280 --> 0:24:19.399 line has helped him out quite a bit too. 0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:21.440 Yeah, where they've been bad and Nick's absolute right about 0:24:21.440 --> 0:24:23.080 the running games, So they've been bad as some of 0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:25.760 the pass protection stuff, as you know, on the left 0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:29.800 side you know, Fred Johnson, who's stepped in for Jordan Mylotta, 0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:32.920 has given up some pressures, given up the most pressures 0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:36.840 of anybody you watch him play him Landon Dickerson on 0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:39.600 that left side over there, they got a couple guys. 0:24:39.640 --> 0:24:42.400 Beckton has been beat. The run stuff is really really 0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:44.720 good with Beckton coming off the ball, but he's a 0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:48.560 big guy, He's massive. His foot quickness at times has 0:24:48.600 --> 0:24:50.800 been a problem when people have run twist stunts and 0:24:50.840 --> 0:24:52.080 the same some of the stuff. 0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:53.199 That Dallas deals with. 0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:55.920 Dallas deals with they get too many guys locked on 0:24:55.920 --> 0:25:00.359 one guy. Beckten has trouble adjusting back and all of 0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:04.200 a sudden he has to He's he sets and he's 0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:07.119 now passing, but then he has to come back to 0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:10.320 get the twister. That's where you've watched the sacks and 0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:13.120 things and the pressures. That's where it's come from him 0:25:13.160 --> 0:25:15.919 and Landon Dickerson. I don't think they're very good foot athletes, 0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:20.520 you know, kind of bigger guys, especially Beckton, but they've 0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:23.800 got a really athletic center Lane Johnson's a very. 0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:25.040 Good athlete at right tackle. 0:25:25.920 --> 0:25:29.440 But there there are some there are some some cracks 0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:31.959 in this offensive line when it does come to some 0:25:32.000 --> 0:25:33.159 pass protection stuff. 0:25:33.600 --> 0:25:36.080 Is this a game where and I know this this 0:25:36.240 --> 0:25:38.760 was the case when the Cowboys played the forty nine Ers. 0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:40.639 I think it was Nick that you brought this idea 0:25:40.880 --> 0:25:43.160 at first, But is this a game where you tell 0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:46.200 your defensive ends I care a lot less about sacks, 0:25:46.560 --> 0:25:49.680 stay in your lanes, make sure you set the edge. 0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:52.560 Let's stop the run, because if you can stop the run, 0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:55.520 that's the biggest battle you'll have to battle with this 0:25:55.520 --> 0:25:56.280 this Eagles team. 0:25:56.480 --> 0:25:58.760 I lean a little bit differently this time around, just 0:25:58.760 --> 0:26:01.240 because of the athlete that Jalen Hurts is. And it's 0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:03.040 a healthy Jalen Hurts that we're seeing this year. It's 0:26:03.040 --> 0:26:05.240 a physical runner Jalen Hurts that we're seeing this year 0:26:05.240 --> 0:26:07.280 compared to last year, where I think that knee was 0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:09.120 bothering him quite a bit more than you know they 0:26:09.200 --> 0:26:12.480 led on I I I want to contain Jalen Hurts 0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:15.080 because I think Saquon can still get his and you 0:26:15.080 --> 0:26:17.560 can win that ball game. If this is a game 0:26:17.560 --> 0:26:20.720 where Michael Parsons comes back, throw him at left tackle 0:26:20.760 --> 0:26:22.399 and let him go go to work, I think this 0:26:22.520 --> 0:26:24.560 could be a really I think this could be an 0:26:24.560 --> 0:26:26.800 opportunity for him to really get some get some momentum, 0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:30.800 and get some sacks on Jalen Hurts. Contain the pocket. 0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:33.040 I would rather them contain the pocket than contain the 0:26:33.119 --> 0:26:34.119 run game. That's me personally. 0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:37.280 Yeah, this is kind of a nightmare game for Parsons. 0:26:37.920 --> 0:26:40.800 Parsons has had some of his He's looked so bad 0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:44.200 playing the Eagles scheme wise, because they put him. 0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:44.920 In no man's lamp. 0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:49.359 He's he's he's like, should I chase or should I stay? 0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:51.440 Wide It's like an old Clash song, Should I stay 0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:56.000 or should I guess? He guys are way too young. 0:26:54.480 --> 0:26:54.639 I do. 0:26:57.760 --> 0:27:01.200 Man the clash should I stay or should I go? 0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:04.400 But yeah, so the but that's the thing about with 0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:08.959 with with with Parsons is that he gets caught. You know, 0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:12.120 he's kind of trying to play his assignment and then 0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:14.119 all of a sudden, though they hand the ball. And 0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:17.560 that's that's the thing that now with with Barkley, you know, 0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:19.760 you can hand the ball to him inside and and 0:27:19.800 --> 0:27:22.000 you'll be just fine. You know, you'll be just fine 0:27:22.040 --> 0:27:25.360 doing that. But it's it's going to be a challenge. 0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:27.840 It's going to be a challenge because you know, first 0:27:27.840 --> 0:27:32.360 game back, and and this team traditionally has given him 0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:35.320 problems just because they make him have to play with 0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:36.080 some indecision. 0:27:36.240 --> 0:27:38.520 Yeah, Lobile has Jalen been. 0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:41.640 He hasn't really had to be. Now he can still run. 0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:44.080 He could he had it. Used to have a shoulder 0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:45.840 problem and he didn't want and then now you know, 0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:47.560 he had a knee problem, and now he didn't really 0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:48.199 didn't want to. 0:27:48.480 --> 0:27:51.439 But he's still He's one of those he holds the ball. 0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:53.520 Here's another one of those quarterbacks. You play the guy 0:27:53.520 --> 0:27:54.359 at San Francisco. 0:27:54.440 --> 0:27:57.439 These guys that hold the ball, but this guy, he 0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:01.479 actually the longer he holds the ball, he's like about 0:28:01.480 --> 0:28:04.320 a sixty percent passer doing that. So, I mean there's 0:28:04.320 --> 0:28:06.239 times where guys that hold the ball and they're not 0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:08.919 good at that. Remember brock Purty was a hold the 0:28:08.960 --> 0:28:12.120 ball and then he was good at that. I went 0:28:12.200 --> 0:28:16.240 back and watched the interceptions. You can make this guy 0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:19.080 panic a little bit, but you gotta get up to 0:28:19.160 --> 0:28:21.560 him and make him kind of because he'll he'll do 0:28:21.600 --> 0:28:23.639 stupid things like run to his right and throw the 0:28:23.680 --> 0:28:25.399 ball all the way back in the middle of the field, 0:28:25.920 --> 0:28:28.080 or he'll just think he could take a deep shot 0:28:28.600 --> 0:28:31.200 and the safety standing right there and it's an interception. 0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:35.760 But to your question, the mobility is still it's very 0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:39.040 just it's very much like, Okay, I'm just gonna it's 0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:42.480 not much so much designed runs. It's more like get 0:28:42.480 --> 0:28:44.120 out of trouble runs, is what it is. 0:28:44.400 --> 0:28:47.720 Per Pro Football Focus, he has scrambled outside of the 0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:50.680 pocket on passing plays twenty one times this season for 0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:54.160 one eighty five yards, and just in general, his rushing 0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:57.440 stats are eighty six carries for three hundred. 0:28:57.120 --> 0:28:58.680 And twenty two yards and eight scores. 0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:01.400 He's around about the same pace that he was at 0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:04.160 last year yardage wise, but attempts have gone up, So 0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:05.920 that's that's something to kind of keep an eye on. 0:29:05.960 --> 0:29:07.920 I guess all right, let's tack our final break. We'll 0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:10.600 come back. We got more thoughts and questions on this 0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:13.160 Philadelphia office versus the Dallas defense.

That's it brought us eat 0:33:27.400 --> 0:33:31.280 that bottom trash fish trash opinion. 0:33:32.360 --> 0:33:33.880 Look, that's what I don't care. It taste good. 0:33:33.960 --> 0:33:38.520 It's like make up my own sauce, right exactly, All right, 0:33:38.520 --> 0:33:38.920 here we go. 0:33:39.040 --> 0:33:40.959 Let's let's get a few more questions here about this 0:33:41.200 --> 0:33:44.280 Eagles offense versus Dallas defense. Let's assume for a second 0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:46.520 that Bland is not playing this week week. I think 0:33:46.560 --> 0:33:49.920 that's probably a safe assumption. Let's just assume, how should 0:33:49.960 --> 0:33:52.520 Dallas best try to defend Brown and Brown and Smith? 0:33:52.880 --> 0:33:54.320 Is Brown gonna play? 0:33:54.640 --> 0:33:57.760 Yeah, let's assume Brown's playing. Let's assume Bland is not. 0:33:59.120 --> 0:33:59.880 That's hue, how to go? 0:34:00.000 --> 0:34:01.960 The other teams players play in ours are out. 0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:05.360 So let's DeVante Smith. You're rarely going to see him 0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:08.479 line up outside. Yeah, And Jordan Lewis, he's played well 0:34:08.560 --> 0:34:12.040 enough this year to give him that challenge. I think, honestly, 0:34:12.360 --> 0:34:14.160 DeVante will get his, But I think Jordan Lewis will 0:34:14.160 --> 0:34:14.640 get his too. 0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:15.200 I agree. 0:34:15.480 --> 0:34:18.120 I think there have been only a handful of bright 0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:20.080 spots on this defense this year. Jordan Lewis is one 0:34:20.120 --> 0:34:22.160 of them. He's on a one year deal. I think 0:34:22.160 --> 0:34:23.520 this is a guy that you got to bring back. 0:34:23.840 --> 0:34:26.520 He's been that he's been that impactful. I think at 0:34:26.520 --> 0:34:28.600 times there's been games where it could have gotten a 0:34:28.640 --> 0:34:30.439 lot worse and it didn't. You know, some of these 0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:33.480 games that have seen the offense get back within one score, 0:34:33.800 --> 0:34:36.279 guys like Jordan Lewis to Marvin Overshowing that those guys 0:34:36.320 --> 0:34:37.920 are kind of reasons that they were able to do 0:34:37.960 --> 0:34:38.840 that in my opinion. 0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:40.239 Is he one of the most Is he the most 0:34:40.280 --> 0:34:42.080 consistent player on this defense this year? 0:34:42.440 --> 0:34:43.480 That's a that's a good point. 0:34:43.520 --> 0:34:43.960 I like that. 0:34:44.040 --> 0:34:46.680 I wonder i'm asking the question. I think an argument 0:34:46.680 --> 0:34:48.399 can be made, but I haven't really thought enough about 0:34:48.400 --> 0:34:48.880 it to give it. 0:34:49.040 --> 0:34:52.080 There's a lot of areas in this offense where are 0:34:52.080 --> 0:34:54.720 seeing me defense where metrics will tell you're either thirty 0:34:54.800 --> 0:34:58.240 or thirty first or thirty second. In the nickel stuff. 0:34:58.239 --> 0:35:00.080 You're one of the better teams when you play a 0:35:00.239 --> 0:35:02.759 nickel from the nickel spot in. 0:35:02.680 --> 0:35:05.640 The league because of how he plays overall. 0:35:05.960 --> 0:35:08.319 So yeah, in a in a in a year where 0:35:08.360 --> 0:35:11.239 everything is not looking great on your defense, he is 0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:14.240 the one guy that has actually shown up and plays. 0:35:14.280 --> 0:35:16.080 I just like how he plays. I like his attitude, 0:35:16.400 --> 0:35:18.719 he approaches the game. I like how he approaches life 0:35:18.760 --> 0:35:20.680 like I think he's just a good quality dude, A good. 0:35:20.600 --> 0:35:23.040 Dude, really good dude. I uh, to back to your 0:35:23.080 --> 0:35:27.280 point on Brown Smith. So Jordan Lewis on Smith, Trayvon 0:35:27.360 --> 0:35:29.920 Diggs on Brown and if they if they flip the field, 0:35:30.120 --> 0:35:32.840 keep Trayvon Diggs on the side where he's most comfortable. 0:35:33.120 --> 0:35:33.920 And so you would not. 0:35:34.040 --> 0:35:36.240 You would not. I know that they don't. You would 0:35:36.239 --> 0:35:39.160 not consider traveling him with Brown knowing that Kaylen's on 0:35:39.200 --> 0:35:39.640 the other side. 0:35:39.760 --> 0:35:40.440 I mean, yes, I. 0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:43.239 Would consider it, and more so just kind of communicating 0:35:43.280 --> 0:35:45.919 what probably will happen. Yeah, I guess yes, I would 0:35:45.920 --> 0:35:47.239 consider it. At the end of the day, I think 0:35:47.239 --> 0:35:50.080 that probably factored in my thought process there. But you 0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:52.680 have Kayln Carson. Has he been up and down at times? Yes, 0:35:52.760 --> 0:35:54.759 but you gotta throw him out there at times too, 0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:57.040 So like this is a situation where you're gonna throw 0:35:57.080 --> 0:35:58.040 him out there and see. 0:35:58.239 --> 0:35:58.359 Uh. 0:35:58.960 --> 0:36:01.680 One interesting point here in this game is Israel mcwamou 0:36:01.800 --> 0:36:04.839 Dallas Goddard has gotten his he's he had one hundred 0:36:04.880 --> 0:36:07.040 and seventy yard game against New Orleans in Week three. 0:36:07.640 --> 0:36:10.239 He could certainly, you know, be a weapon for Jalen 0:36:10.320 --> 0:36:12.879 Hurts over the middle of the field. Now, would they 0:36:12.880 --> 0:36:15.840 feel comfortable putting a guy like Demarvin overshown on a 0:36:15.880 --> 0:36:20.080 Goddard and maybe having mcwamou handle some aj Brown responsibilities. 0:36:20.120 --> 0:36:21.840 I think there is still a lot of work in 0:36:21.920 --> 0:36:24.400 progress when it comes to coverage on this defense right now, 0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:25.880 and I think that's certainly an option too. 0:36:26.200 --> 0:36:31.000 If all things are healthy for the Eagles. If Goddard 0:36:31.080 --> 0:36:33.200 is he's dealing with a hamstring right now. If all 0:36:33.239 --> 0:36:37.880 things are healthy, my priorities are Smith, Goddard, and then Brown. 0:36:38.280 --> 0:36:41.000 That would be my priority right there. Yeah, because what 0:36:41.280 --> 0:36:44.400 happens is he's going to throw the ball to Smith 0:36:44.480 --> 0:36:46.920 because he could he could play at all levels. He 0:36:46.960 --> 0:36:50.040 could run, he could run the cross, he could run 0:36:50.120 --> 0:36:52.920 the hitch, he could run the post. He runs all 0:36:52.960 --> 0:36:55.799 the routes. And that's where that's where this quarterback will 0:36:55.840 --> 0:36:56.600 try and find him. 0:36:56.760 --> 0:36:57.720 He will, he will look. 0:36:58.320 --> 0:37:01.279 The next guy he's going to look for is that's that. 0:37:01.760 --> 0:37:04.279 Now you've got to figure out about him, and you 0:37:04.320 --> 0:37:07.480 know he's gonna run. He's his stuff is like underneath, 0:37:07.800 --> 0:37:09.920 not so much up the seams or up the field, 0:37:10.200 --> 0:37:13.640 but kind of block weight, you know, like what you 0:37:13.640 --> 0:37:15.320 saw from Kittle yep, that. 0:37:15.239 --> 0:37:15.920 Kind of stuff. 0:37:16.320 --> 0:37:18.719 And then Brown, Brown is going to be the guy 0:37:18.760 --> 0:37:21.200 that's gonna go vertical on you. He's the one that 0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:23.239 they're gonna try and hit the shot on the deep 0:37:23.280 --> 0:37:27.400 shots and stuff like that. So to me, I I 0:37:27.520 --> 0:37:31.480 kind of I kind of my priority is I think 0:37:31.640 --> 0:37:34.279 I think Smith is a hardcover. I don't think you're 0:37:34.320 --> 0:37:38.400 you're gonna have. I think you're gonna have He's you said, 0:37:38.640 --> 0:37:40.840 he gets his you know, you get yours kind of 0:37:40.880 --> 0:37:43.080 a thing. I think you're gonna if you if you 0:37:43.120 --> 0:37:45.839 had a fifty to fifty game, because you get down 0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:48.520 the red zone, he's he's their target down in the 0:37:48.560 --> 0:37:51.280 red zone. I mean he's going to because he finds 0:37:51.360 --> 0:37:54.239 space down there, he's really good at and they get 0:37:54.280 --> 0:37:55.400 him on the move and all that. 0:37:55.600 --> 0:37:57.359 So whoever you feel like. 0:37:57.480 --> 0:38:01.600 Can take him the best and stay with him on 0:38:01.640 --> 0:38:04.359 all the routes that he's going to run, that needs 0:38:04.360 --> 0:38:06.960 to be your priority right there, and then next then 0:38:07.000 --> 0:38:09.640 figure out, I believe next, figure out what Goddard is 0:38:09.680 --> 0:38:13.000 going to do that that that's how just watching their tape, 0:38:13.480 --> 0:38:15.799 I kind of felt like that's the way that that 0:38:16.440 --> 0:38:21.960 if the progressions for hurts, it's Smith Goddard Brown. 0:38:22.160 --> 0:38:23.719 That's kind of how I feel like he's going to 0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:24.399 play this game. 0:38:24.719 --> 0:38:28.279 You mentioned you guys mentioned Kayln Carson. Where where do 0:38:28.320 --> 0:38:30.239 you think he struggles the most at this point? 0:38:30.280 --> 0:38:34.200 What's he having confidence is not I'm not going to 0:38:34.239 --> 0:38:34.920 say shot. 0:38:35.160 --> 0:38:38.520 It's shaky right now because they attack him and the 0:38:38.600 --> 0:38:40.600 problem is when he came out of Wake Forest. 0:38:40.640 --> 0:38:41.560 He was a physical player. 0:38:41.560 --> 0:38:44.640 We've seen him misattackle and make a tackle, make it tackle, 0:38:44.680 --> 0:38:47.560 make it tackle, you know, not that he but his shoulder. 0:38:47.719 --> 0:38:49.879 I mean, I think he here, he is, he's going 0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:52.480 through a deal where he was hurt. He's missed time. 0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:54.520 You know, he hasn't had a lot of you know, 0:38:54.560 --> 0:38:58.799 he's had reps and playing games. But teams go after him. 0:38:58.840 --> 0:39:01.560 Now they've kind of figured out where's number twenty one. 0:39:01.760 --> 0:39:04.439 Let's get our guys over on the Falcons. Clearly did 0:39:04.719 --> 0:39:07.839 the Falcons figured out that, like, hey, we're gonna throw 0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:10.200 at seven, We're gonna throw it twenty one over here. 0:39:10.600 --> 0:39:12.239 You know that's the guy we need to attack, and 0:39:12.280 --> 0:39:14.440 they did. And I think teams are kind of figuring 0:39:14.480 --> 0:39:17.120 that out, and he just, you know, he's just he 0:39:17.239 --> 0:39:20.319 needs a game where he knocks two or three balls down. 0:39:20.320 --> 0:39:23.360 It kind of gets him back into that Wake Forest 0:39:23.400 --> 0:39:27.760 mode where he was super competitive, super tough, tackling and 0:39:27.880 --> 0:39:30.600 making plays for his team at that time. 0:39:30.719 --> 0:39:33.480 This is just something I've kind of theorized off of 0:39:33.520 --> 0:39:36.640 watching film. This is me kind of assuming how how 0:39:36.680 --> 0:39:38.680 another player is thinking, which I do not like to do. 0:39:38.920 --> 0:39:41.360 I've mentioned that a couple of times. But what I 0:39:41.360 --> 0:39:43.879 see from Kayln Carson is it looks like he's too 0:39:43.960 --> 0:39:46.160 scared to give up the big play, so much so 0:39:46.239 --> 0:39:48.239 that he gives up so much leverage in front of 0:39:48.320 --> 0:39:50.520 him that he's like, okay, as long as they don't 0:39:50.520 --> 0:39:51.359 get behind me, I'm okay. 0:39:51.360 --> 0:39:51.920 I'm taking this. 0:39:52.040 --> 0:39:54.840 He's only given up two completions over twenty yards all season, 0:39:55.200 --> 0:39:57.440 but it's this that tend to twenty range where he's 0:39:57.480 --> 0:39:59.600 just getting chopped up over and over and over again. 0:39:59.640 --> 0:40:00.640 That's about that confidence. 0:40:01.560 --> 0:40:02.399 If he makes that. 0:40:02.480 --> 0:40:05.200 Tackle down in the down in the you know, Philly 0:40:06.120 --> 0:40:08.719 Atlanta was coming out and they throw the ball the 0:40:08.800 --> 0:40:11.680 flat and he makes that tackle and they get off 0:40:11.680 --> 0:40:14.720 the field on third down, you know, instead he misses 0:40:14.760 --> 0:40:17.000 it and it goes up the sidelines. For a big 0:40:17.040 --> 0:40:19.560 game and all that, and you know, that's kind of 0:40:19.600 --> 0:40:22.160 stuff he needs to make some of those plays. I 0:40:22.160 --> 0:40:24.680 think he's that kind of guy when he makes a play. 0:40:24.680 --> 0:40:26.480 When he makes a play, now he starts getting into 0:40:26.520 --> 0:40:29.680 the game that way. And you know, right now, I 0:40:29.760 --> 0:40:32.879 just think his confidence is not where it probably has 0:40:33.040 --> 0:40:35.960 needs to be for him playing right now. The injury 0:40:35.960 --> 0:40:38.080 probably has got him shook a little bit about the shoulder. 0:40:38.360 --> 0:40:41.279 Can I be physical, can I tackle? Can I do 0:40:41.320 --> 0:40:43.520 all these things? You know with my shoulder being kind 0:40:43.520 --> 0:40:45.160 of a little bit, you know, trying to get it right. 0:40:45.760 --> 0:40:49.520 Well, he's a talented player, but again you're asking for 0:40:49.800 --> 0:40:53.200 a young, inexperienced guy to take this kind of load. 0:40:53.320 --> 0:40:55.719 And I think the inexperience and and him being a 0:40:55.800 --> 0:41:00.400 rookie is going to show so not I deal that 0:41:00.520 --> 0:41:02.160 you're having to rely on him. And I think the 0:41:02.200 --> 0:41:05.920 big thing now that he's back is the whole injury situation. 0:41:06.080 --> 0:41:10.680 We know that mentally that can be it can stop 0:41:10.719 --> 0:41:12.880 you from doing or like trying to give it your 0:41:12.920 --> 0:41:15.799 all because now you've been through an injury and that's 0:41:15.840 --> 0:41:17.239 in the back of your head. You don't want to 0:41:17.280 --> 0:41:20.120 get injury, even if you're not trying to. It's gonna 0:41:20.160 --> 0:41:23.040 show in that way. And on the other side, with 0:41:23.160 --> 0:41:27.160 Trevon Diggs, again, we we've seen some really good time 0:41:27.560 --> 0:41:29.520 We've seen him play well. I don't want to get 0:41:29.640 --> 0:41:34.759 yell at he's not some good plays. But at the 0:41:34.760 --> 0:41:37.880 same time, he's another one that even though he played, 0:41:37.920 --> 0:41:40.200 he's still kind of banged up a little bit with 0:41:40.360 --> 0:41:47.000 the what was it the was it the ankle, calf 0:41:49.600 --> 0:41:55.320 and he's so many he played and it's great. But again, 0:41:55.480 --> 0:41:58.399 that's another thing that I think in most players at 0:41:58.400 --> 0:42:01.680 this point of the year, they're with something. But that's 0:42:01.719 --> 0:42:04.120 another guy that don't think that they can't attack that 0:42:04.239 --> 0:42:06.239 side of the field either. I think they can take 0:42:06.280 --> 0:42:09.600 advantage of a Trevlon Diggs as well. So that's just 0:42:09.760 --> 0:42:11.720 very tough for this defense overall. 0:42:11.920 --> 0:42:14.360 One more quick question before we end the show, looking 0:42:14.400 --> 0:42:16.560 at what the Cowboys have right now on the rest 0:42:16.560 --> 0:42:20.000 of the defensive line. How much of an impact do 0:42:20.080 --> 0:42:22.719 you think Micah can really have when he returns, whether 0:42:22.760 --> 0:42:24.960 it's this week or whatever week it is. How much 0:42:24.960 --> 0:42:27.320 of an impact can he really have with a defensive 0:42:27.320 --> 0:42:29.440 line that right now just isn't being able to really 0:42:29.440 --> 0:42:30.600 consistently get pressure. 0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:32.920 I think he can't have an impact because he's always 0:42:32.920 --> 0:42:34.400 been a guy that's kind of on an island and 0:42:34.440 --> 0:42:37.440 does you know, something very different than everyone else. And 0:42:37.480 --> 0:42:39.879 as long as he is getting his then I think 0:42:39.880 --> 0:42:43.200 it could be a trickle down effect. Look, you see 0:42:43.200 --> 0:42:45.120 a Micah Parsons over the course of the last couple of 0:42:45.200 --> 0:42:47.839 years where he's very big on his sack numbers and 0:42:47.960 --> 0:42:49.880 very big on his tackles for losses and things of 0:42:49.920 --> 0:42:51.919 that nature. And you know take that for how you will. 0:42:51.960 --> 0:42:55.360 But he's missed this amount of time, his sack numbers 0:42:55.360 --> 0:42:57.600 are going to be decreased this season. As a result, 0:42:57.800 --> 0:42:59.960 he's going to try to get as much back up 0:43:00.120 --> 0:43:02.080 double digit sacks as he can. I think this is 0:43:02.120 --> 0:43:04.000 a situation where you go down the rest of the 0:43:04.000 --> 0:43:07.600 season and uh, he understands the the negotiations he's about 0:43:07.600 --> 0:43:08.760 to hop into next offseason. 0:43:08.960 --> 0:43:11.520 Does that not worry you? The reason why I say 0:43:11.520 --> 0:43:13.240 that is because if you if you're worried about getting 0:43:13.280 --> 0:43:16.000 sacked numbers, sometimes sacks have to come to you. If 0:43:16.040 --> 0:43:18.400 you start pressing too much, you get out of position, 0:43:18.760 --> 0:43:20.799 you don't set the edge, you're too worried about getting 0:43:20.840 --> 0:43:24.320 up feel, and then you get in gashed at the right. 0:43:23.520 --> 0:43:25.200 I'd lind him up, I'd line him up over this 0:43:25.280 --> 0:43:27.759 left tackle and go to work. Well that's what I'm saying. 0:43:27.800 --> 0:43:29.640 I mean, you know, make make the left side of 0:43:29.680 --> 0:43:32.000 this offensive line for the Eagles have to block him. 0:43:32.160 --> 0:43:34.360 You know, if you continue may if you continue to 0:43:34.400 --> 0:43:36.680 get some good play from Carl Lawson. I mean, that's 0:43:36.680 --> 0:43:39.239 why I asked the question about could this be where 0:43:39.320 --> 0:43:43.200 Carl Lawson and Parsons could they give you enough pass rush. Yeah, 0:43:43.320 --> 0:43:45.840 you know that's you know, because Lawson has shown and 0:43:46.000 --> 0:43:48.479 when he's given the opportunity that he's kind of getting 0:43:48.600 --> 0:43:51.680 back to the old mad steeled self. So let him 0:43:51.719 --> 0:43:54.560 work against Lane Johnson and put and put Mike over 0:43:54.600 --> 0:43:56.919 on the other side and and see if they can 0:43:57.000 --> 0:43:58.600 they can do some good that way. I'll tell you 0:43:58.640 --> 0:44:01.480 another thing too, to keep an eye on this Eagles 0:44:01.640 --> 0:44:04.600 running back group between Barkley and Game Will and those 0:44:04.640 --> 0:44:05.600 guys they don't. 0:44:05.360 --> 0:44:06.319 Pass protect well. 0:44:06.640 --> 0:44:09.520 Barkley's given up two sacks this year, you know, when 0:44:09.560 --> 0:44:12.400 he's had to do so anything to make these guys 0:44:12.440 --> 0:44:15.600 have to play, they give up pressures and they give 0:44:15.680 --> 0:44:18.800 up sacks. So don't expect help from their running backs 0:44:18.880 --> 0:44:19.439 in this game. 0:44:19.760 --> 0:44:20.960 If that's the case, I. 0:44:20.960 --> 0:44:23.160 Would be putting Chauncey Golson on the right side and 0:44:23.239 --> 0:44:26.160 letting Carl and Micah Parsons rotate on that left side, 0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:29.160 keep them fresh, and have them even line them up 0:44:29.200 --> 0:44:30.520 next to each other out opportunities too. 0:44:30.640 --> 0:44:31.680 Of course, there's a way to do that. 0:44:31.680 --> 0:44:33.640 The reason I say Golson on the right side is 0:44:33.640 --> 0:44:35.160 because I think if you put a guy like Karl 0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:37.120 Lawson on that right side, doesn't have a lot of length, 0:44:37.280 --> 0:44:39.840 probably wouldn't be as strong as a run defender against 0:44:39.880 --> 0:44:43.360 lane Johnson. You're giving Saquon Barkley a huge lane on 0:44:43.360 --> 0:44:44.640 that right side to run the football. 0:44:44.560 --> 0:44:46.120 But that's just been kind of looking at it. 0:44:46.480 --> 0:44:48.399 All right, that's rap. I appreciate you, guys. Jonas, we're 0:44:48.400 --> 0:44:52.000 back tomorrow. We'll talk about Philadelphia defense versus the Cowboys offense. 0:44:52.120 --> 0:44:56.319 Till then from the Carris Brian brought us what Derek. 0:44:56.640 --> 0:44:58.640 This has been a break live on Dallas Cowboys dot 0:44:58.680 --> 0:44:59.440 Com Radio. 0:45:00.080 --> 0:45:02.960 This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and 0:45:03.120 --> 0:45:06.040 the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
