Speaker 3: Are you ready for a break?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: Are you ready for a break?
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Ready for a break?
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so much for that.
Speaker 5: It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 5: with Ambar Garcia, Brian brought Us, Nick Harris, and Derek Eagleton.
Speaker 3: It is Wednesday, November sixth, twenty twenty four, Season twenty,
Speaker 3: episode number sixty three. Welcome to the latest edition of
Speaker 3: The Break. We are live from the WBC Mortgage Studios
Speaker 3: at the Star, presented by LGLG is the world's number
Speaker 3: one o ED TV brand for eleven years and counting.
Speaker 3: See why at LG dot Com, Forward slash o led evo.
Speaker 3: How's everybody doing today?
Speaker 2: Doing well?
Speaker 6: Awesome?
Speaker 3: Less jump in, lots of topics for us to hit today.
Speaker 3: We're going to jump into the breakdown between the Cowboys
Speaker 3: and the Eagles, so they were focusing on the Eagles
Speaker 3: offense versus the Dallas defense. But before we get there,
Speaker 3: I want to start first with a couple of roster
Speaker 3: moves that happened yesterday. Dallas releases Jordan Phillips and Andrew Booth.
Speaker 3: My question is more around Jordan Phillips. Why do you
Speaker 3: think they made the move to get rid of Phillips
Speaker 3: at this point, knowing that the defensive tackle position is
Speaker 3: what it is for this team and if nothing more,
Speaker 3: nothing else, he was still a body that maybe you
Speaker 3: could throw in there and see what you could get
Speaker 3: out of him.
Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely a lot of discourse around whenever he went
Speaker 7: on the injured reserve list for his wrist issue that
Speaker 7: he was battling. I mean, it was a rist issue
Speaker 7: that he had suffered in the Dallas game last year
Speaker 7: when he was playing for Buffalo, had surgery on it
Speaker 7: and you know, didn't look necessarily one in the first
Speaker 7: couple of games of the season, Cowboys put him on IR.
Speaker 6: He disagreed with it.
Speaker 7: Sure, that disagreement, you know, led to a few more
Speaker 7: disagreements and eventually yesterday's conclusion and he's back in Buffalo today.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a quick move from Buffalo to to
Speaker 3: then go out and sign him and bring him back
Speaker 3: into the team.
Speaker 8: So never felt more wrong about a player watching tape
Speaker 8: than him. Kind of felt like when we saw him
Speaker 8: in the preseason or when I saw him that here's
Speaker 8: a guy. You watched him play against Dallas, You watched
Speaker 8: him play against the Commanders, watched the play against the Eagles, Chiefs,
Speaker 8: other teams. Guy was a very productive player. Guy was active.
Speaker 8: Guy was a three technique. Guy was playing on the
Speaker 8: side of the line of scrimmage. Guy was given Tyrone
Speaker 8: Smith problems, you know when he lined up a little
Speaker 8: wide against him a couple of times.
Speaker 2: That one was really strange to me.
Speaker 8: That that that that that shakes you a little bit
Speaker 8: when you look at a player and you feel like,
Speaker 8: you know, obviously they felt like, you know, he was
Speaker 8: with the Giants. The Giants weren't playing him, They had
Speaker 8: Giants had a lot of young defensive tackles. Maybe should
Speaker 8: have probably known something then what was going on. But
Speaker 8: clearly won the same player and I but I never
Speaker 8: felt like I really got out of a really good
Speaker 8: view of him here. But you know, Mike Zimmer front
Speaker 8: of office, all those guys, I mean, they quickly moved on.
Speaker 8: And so that's when it shakes you a little bit,
Speaker 8: because you're watching a player and you're thinking, Okay, this
Speaker 8: guy's got a shot because he can do these he
Speaker 8: has these kinds of traits and when none of that
Speaker 8: shows up, then you're you're like, man, did I really
Speaker 8: miss this player that bad? And I think there have
Speaker 8: some questions if they missed that player that bad too?
Speaker 3: Can I throw this thought out there?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 3: In your experience? Have you seen situations like this?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: In your experience, have you seen situations like this where
Speaker 3: it wasn't that the player was different. It was what
Speaker 3: he was being asked to do that was different.
Speaker 8: You know what I when I was in pro personnel,
Speaker 8: I always had an idea what we were trying to do.
Speaker 8: I always had an idea what we were trying to.
Speaker 2: Do scheme wise.
Speaker 8: So sometimes you know, you're like, Okay, this guy has
Speaker 8: these traits and this trait, and you know, I was
Speaker 8: thinking maybe this guy would play one technique. You know,
Speaker 8: he's a big guy. I mean it was you know
Speaker 8: he but he was so active in the way he played.
Speaker 8: Everybody's like, no, he's going to play the three. And
Speaker 8: I'm like, okay, great, you know that's that's fine. I mean,
Speaker 8: he's got some three technique traits to him. But you
Speaker 8: felt like that he could fit in, you know, as
Speaker 8: a rotational player. You know, maybe if he played him
Speaker 8: twenty twenty five snaps, and you know he could he
Speaker 8: could be part of that because of the things you
Speaker 8: saw pass rush, you saw quickness, you saw his ability
Speaker 8: to play outside the tackle box.
Speaker 2: Hell, he's probably.
Speaker 8: Gonna go to Buffalo and he's gonna probably help when
Speaker 8: them win a game against Kansas City or the Ravens
Speaker 8: or something, and you're gonna go, Okay, now, now I
Speaker 8: don't feel terrible.
Speaker 3: Now he's the guy you thought he was. He just
Speaker 3: didn't work.
Speaker 8: Out right, and maybe maybe you know, hey, when things
Speaker 8: go bad, you know, like you say, when you're a
Speaker 8: personal guy and you bring somebody in and it doesn't
Speaker 8: work out, you really want to hide.
Speaker 2: You don't want to go to lunch, You don't want
Speaker 2: to talk to anybody.
Speaker 8: You just you know, you you don't even just want
Speaker 8: to see the general manager. Yeah, you really don't, because
Speaker 8: you're just you're like, well, hey, we brought this guy
Speaker 8: in because you said he could play, and he can't
Speaker 8: play dead, you know, And that's the problem that you
Speaker 8: run into, you know, especially when the season is going bad.
Speaker 8: When the season starts to go bad, you just want
Speaker 8: to close your door and just watch tape and try
Speaker 8: and get to the next task because you're just you know,
Speaker 8: I mean, you know they traded, they gave a significant
Speaker 8: pick yesterday for a wide receiver. You know the pro
Speaker 8: department has a hand in that. I mean, you kind
Speaker 8: of feel like, boy, we're running some bad luck right now,
Speaker 8: or evaluations you're questioning. You're now starting to question a
Speaker 8: little bit about do we see these guys?
Speaker 2: Are we seeing these guys the right way? And that's
Speaker 2: a terrible feeling to have.
Speaker 9: Well, what makes it difficult, I think for me, is like,
Speaker 9: how do you truly judge a player when you see
Speaker 9: a collective group of people that are playing bad or
Speaker 9: not well or how you expect them, how do you
Speaker 9: give a proper judgment to where? What about what if
Speaker 9: it's me? What if I'm saying as far as staff, no, no, no, no, I'm.
Speaker 2: Saying I say that a lot.
Speaker 9: What I'm trying to say is, let's say this guy, right,
Speaker 9: they get rid of him and all of that. But
Speaker 9: then when you have so many other players on your defense,
Speaker 9: on your overall in the team that are playing bad, like,
Speaker 9: how do you how do you truly can get a
Speaker 9: full evaluation that maybe it's not the player, maybe it's
Speaker 9: your system. Maybe it's what you're doing. Yeah, that is
Speaker 9: what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's that's where you want to close the door,
Speaker 8: and you want to hope that at the end of
Speaker 8: the year that you still have a gig, that you
Speaker 8: still that you're not going out with you know, everybody else,
Speaker 8: because they're going to make an evaluation. They're going to say, hey,
Speaker 8: you know, you've had a lot of misses here, you know,
Speaker 8: or the coaches have done you know, coaches that if
Speaker 8: you're one of those scouts that have really evaluated and
Speaker 8: helped them bring guys in and players have played, you know,
Speaker 8: you get a little bit of a pass on that.
Speaker 8: But then the general manager has to evaluate, like you
Speaker 8: just said, the coaching, the scheme, all those things. I
Speaker 8: think all those things are up for debate at the
Speaker 8: end of the year, especially if you haven't had success.
Speaker 8: And I think these coaches know that, you know, I
Speaker 8: think that's the hard thing. And you know, unfortunately and
Speaker 8: fortunately on the same time, because of the injuries here,
Speaker 8: you don't have to ask this coach to play young players.
Speaker 8: He's already playing young players because of injury. So you're
Speaker 8: at least you're getting an ideas. You know, if you're
Speaker 8: going badly and you're doing it with veteran players and
Speaker 8: you weren't hurt, and you know, you would be like,
Speaker 8: any chance we could see lea foul play a little more,
Speaker 8: any chance we could see you know, you would go
Speaker 8: in there and ask a coach that when they're fighting
Speaker 8: for their job. Now, it's like you don't really have
Speaker 8: to do that because you're just seeing it. You're seeing
Speaker 8: But to your point, absolutely, they this front office, general managers,
Speaker 8: the director, player personnel, will all these guys need to
Speaker 8: evaluate what was the problem this year or what's been
Speaker 8: the problem through.
Speaker 2: Nine games this year? Yeah, and what I hope did
Speaker 2: we miss?
Speaker 3: What I hope is that it doesn't get boiled down
Speaker 3: to just injuries, because we all will remember, if we
Speaker 3: want to, that New Orleans game and you had a
Speaker 3: lot of guys out there for that game, and that
Speaker 3: game look like you were just getting You got destroyed
Speaker 3: by that by a not that good team, and a
Speaker 3: lot of that. When I look at it, and I'll
Speaker 3: point out a couple different units. I'll point out the
Speaker 3: defensive unit as a whole, I'll point out the offensive line,
Speaker 3: and I'll point out the receivers, and what you see
Speaker 3: in all those different groups is across the board, they
Speaker 3: just don't seem like they're performing up to the standard.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: We've Troy Aikman talked about the receivers, We've talked about
Speaker 3: the offensive lines. Guys on that offensive line that we've
Speaker 3: been used to playing at a certain level that this
Speaker 3: year are well below that level. Right this defense that again,
Speaker 3: you expect a lot of these players individually to be
Speaker 3: playing above a certain level, but as a unit they're
Speaker 3: playing below it. I think those are instances where you
Speaker 3: have to ask what's going on with the coaching, what's
Speaker 3: going on with what they're being taught, what they're being
Speaker 3: asked to do, how they're being drilled, and the things
Speaker 3: they should do if they keep getting beat on the
Speaker 3: same thing. Are we drilling this enough in practice to
Speaker 3: where they see it enough to where they're making the adjustments.
Speaker 3: Those are all the questions that I have, And my
Speaker 3: guess is that the GM, the owner, the coach, head coach,
Speaker 3: the player personnel guys, everybody's going to be asking those
Speaker 3: kinds of questions as you start trying to dissect what's
Speaker 3: happening this season to this team.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I think part of the question is also
Speaker 7: figuring out what else you have that has not played,
Speaker 7: you know, and try to figure that out over the
Speaker 7: course of the next nine games or however many are left.
Speaker 7: I think there's still there's still a lot of answers
Speaker 7: that need to be There are a lot of questions
Speaker 7: that need to be answered as far as the depth
Speaker 7: on this team. You know, we've talked about guys like
Speaker 7: Awesome Richards or marslefl or A. Gosh, I'm trying to
Speaker 7: think of some other guys that are that are around.
Speaker 7: I mean, if Jordan Phillips isn't playing, you're gonna see
Speaker 7: a lot more of Osa Digizua. Yeah, you might even
Speaker 7: see an opportunity for like a guy like Denzel Dackson
Speaker 7: maybe later down the season to get an elevation, you know.
Speaker 7: I mean, there's there's tons of possibilities. So there's still
Speaker 7: questions that could be answered by this evaluation staff. I mean, like, hey,
Speaker 7: at least we found that guy and he played in
Speaker 7: week fifteen, sixteen seventeen, and we can take that into next.
Speaker 6: Year a little bit of confidence.
Speaker 7: So I think there's still there's still a lot of
Speaker 7: left on the table.
Speaker 6: As far as what could be determined.
Speaker 8: Does does it worry you a little bit that maybe
Speaker 8: when you add.
Speaker 2: A wide receiver that they won't address a wide receiver
Speaker 2: in the draft? Yeah, that always scares the first part
Speaker 2: in my mind.
Speaker 8: That scares me a little bit when and I think
Speaker 8: it happened at running back. I think it happened at
Speaker 8: running back for sure. I think it happened when they
Speaker 8: had an idea that they were going to get Zeke back,
Speaker 8: you know, and it maybe it maybe it maybe your
Speaker 8: eye wasn't on the ball and you're thinking, Okay, we've
Speaker 8: got we've got Zeke, you know, and he's going to
Speaker 8: come back. Maybe we don't have to, you know, it
Speaker 8: turns into well, this guy is not as good as Zeke,
Speaker 8: or this guy is not as good as that. I'm
Speaker 8: talking about the draft picks. Yeah, you know, all of
Speaker 8: a sudden, he gets yeah, there's guys that are better.
Speaker 8: Then they start coming off the board, and then you're like, man,
Speaker 8: we need this linebacker more than we need this running back.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 8: And I understand why they when they got lea foul.
Speaker 8: I get it because we all talked about what the
Speaker 8: linebacker situation was last year they needed linebackers on.
Speaker 2: This team, and they ended up needing in this year.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and to a man, they were talking about lea
Speaker 8: foul as a you know when they came in here
Speaker 8: when we were doing the draft coverage, the Draft show,
Speaker 8: with the Draft weekend, you could it was praise, praise, praise.
Speaker 8: The kid's a good player. I mean, he just has
Speaker 8: He's played in bass packages. They played a lot of
Speaker 8: bass when he's had opportunity. He's done okay, he's done
Speaker 8: okay on special teams. But then you kind of look
Speaker 8: at the situation. Did the thought about Zeke keep you
Speaker 8: or maybe even dabtle, did that keep you from really
Speaker 8: keeping your eye on the ball and trying to upgrade
Speaker 8: that position?
Speaker 7: You know what, when they were asked about it after
Speaker 7: each day in the press conferences and talking about hey
Speaker 7: so running back, Hey so running back, Jerry would bring
Speaker 7: so I think I think that's a direct point.
Speaker 3: But here's the flip side of that. I don't worry
Speaker 3: so much about that this year mainly because there is
Speaker 3: no position that if the Dallas Cowboys are on the
Speaker 3: clock and they're like, this is a better player, I'd
Speaker 3: be upset with them taking I don't think they go
Speaker 3: into this draft saying I need a receiver. If they do,
Speaker 3: they also should be saying I could take a tackle.
Speaker 2: I don't pressure guard take it. You know, you can
Speaker 2: go down the list, and so it's not one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So for me, I look at it and I'm
Speaker 3: not so worried about that. If it happens that you
Speaker 3: don't get a receiver but you got a safety, it
Speaker 3: happens that you got a corner, it happens that you
Speaker 3: got a tackle, if you get all those other positions, fine,
Speaker 3: you're not going to address everything this this draft.
Speaker 2: You can't.
Speaker 3: There are too many areas where you need talent and
Speaker 3: you need depth. So they're not going to address everything.
Speaker 3: So I'm comfortable with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just to me, it's it's it's funny.
Speaker 9: I don't want to great problem to have if you
Speaker 9: can take.
Speaker 8: Anybody like position, you know, I mean, but that also
Speaker 8: that that just shows you where you're.
Speaker 2: At a yeah, right, yeah you're not.
Speaker 3: That's a problem in it of itself.
Speaker 2: Right, you're you're not. You know you're not. Maybe you
Speaker 2: know you're maybe not.
Speaker 8: The commanders who makes it makes a big deal yesterday
Speaker 8: for a corner you know, they're feeling like, you know,
Speaker 8: if we're really if we're if we're really gonna be
Speaker 8: good at this, we're gonna we're one player away. Now,
Speaker 8: that may be completely wrong about that, because I think
Speaker 8: they got other issues too. But these teams that are
Speaker 8: these these teams like Detroit.
Speaker 2: They wouldn't got a pass rush, win't got a pass rusher.
Speaker 2: They you know, that's what you got to do. Got
Speaker 2: to go out and get that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, runds both sides of the ball.
Speaker 3: You said, the Ravens on both sides of the ball.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, I getting to receive random corner.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But that's also like again, I just think that's that's
Speaker 3: where those teams are right now, and it's I think, yeah,
Speaker 3: Dallas is not there. There's not in that same boat
Speaker 3: with those teams, obviously, I mean that's being captain obvious,
Speaker 3: but they're not there. Those teams are in positions where
Speaker 3: they are battling to see if they can get ahead
Speaker 3: of the next team because they think they got a
Speaker 3: legitimate shot.
Speaker 8: I just don't want this to turn in where they
Speaker 8: have you know, say you have ten picks. You know,
Speaker 8: now you've just moved on from one of those picks
Speaker 8: or the selections you have. I don't want it to
Speaker 8: turn into like, Okay, now we've got to use two
Speaker 8: more picks to get back in the forth, because we
Speaker 8: you know, and now you've used three picks too on
Speaker 8: one player basically, you know, and I and I, And.
Speaker 3: It's best if that player doesn't end up being and
Speaker 3: that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's going to have an opportunity to show up
Speaker 8: and see what he can do, and I'm willing to
Speaker 8: give him the benefit of that. I appreciate the fact
Speaker 8: they went and tried. I just don't like the compensation myself.
Speaker 2: That's just me.
Speaker 8: But you know, I hope it doesn't turn into, well,
Speaker 8: now we've now we can't get back in the fourth,
Speaker 8: and we didn't. Now we want to get back in
Speaker 8: the forth, and now you have to use picks, multiple
Speaker 8: picks to trade with somebody to get back in the forth.
Speaker 8: You know, now it turns into well, wait a minute,
Speaker 8: if you just wouldn't have made the trade, we'd had
Speaker 8: all our compliment conflidens of picks and we'd been just fine.
Speaker 8: But you know, if you if you end up having
Speaker 8: to trade two more picks just to get back in
Speaker 8: the round that that's going to be. You know, that's
Speaker 8: something I'm sure we're going to point out if that
Speaker 8: happens now on the Draft Show.
Speaker 3: Now, all right, let's take our first break. When we
Speaker 3: come back, we're gonna talk about the Eagles, will jump in,
Speaker 3: talk a little bit about what their team looks like
Speaker 3: over all, and then we'll get into the offense. We'll
Speaker 3: be back. Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

Speaker 3: Welcome back, second segment of the break left in SWBC
Speaker 3: Mortgage Studios. At the start of the segment brought to
Speaker 3: you by blockchain dot Com. Listening real quickly they're in
Speaker 3: the break. Mike McCarthy's doing his press conference. One thing
Speaker 3: he already mentioned a little bit of news. Says that
Speaker 3: DeMarcus Lawrence and Brandon Cooks neither will have their twenty
Speaker 3: one day practice windows open today, but he is optimistic
Speaker 3: about how both of them are progressing. That being tweeted
Speaker 3: by our own Tommy Yarsh Any surprises there that those
Speaker 3: guys aren't ready to kind of to be put back
Speaker 3: into the I guess open that twenty one day window.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I think there's good news and bad news in that
Speaker 7: one sentence. The good news being that DeMarcus Lawrence is
Speaker 7: in the same sentence as Brandon Cooks. The bad news
Speaker 7: being that Brandon Cooks is in the same sentence as
Speaker 7: DeMarcus Lawrence. So because I didn't put them together exactly exactly,
Speaker 7: but I think.
Speaker 9: That goes to show never take an infection, not seriously,
Speaker 9: Like I cannot believe it has taken this long from
Speaker 9: Brendan Cooks to not come back. Like I imagine you
Speaker 9: get enough antibiotics in there in your body and then
Speaker 9: next thing you know, you're out here running. Man. That
Speaker 9: must have been a pretty bad infection.
Speaker 7: Some infections can be nagging and they can last time
Speaker 7: kill you. Yeah yeah, so yeah, definitely still Uh not
Speaker 7: only does he have to recover from that, but also
Speaker 7: from the knee itself that he had the injection to
Speaker 7: begin with. So and then DeMarcus Lawrence progressing well from
Speaker 7: his foot as well. So yeah, I think that's interesting.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: Uh, let's talk about the Eagles right now. They are
Speaker 3: six and two. They're second in the NFC East.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: They have lost to the Atlanta Falcons. They lost twenty
Speaker 3: to twenty one, and lost to Tampa Bay back when
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay Bay was at full Tran. Tampa Bay has
Speaker 3: beating him the worst anybody has this year. They've beaten
Speaker 3: thirty three or sixteen.
Speaker 14: Uh.
Speaker 3: The only really key win that I've seen on their
Speaker 3: on their schedule was the one against Green Bay. Green
Speaker 3: Bay is six and three and leading their second in
Speaker 3: their division. Uh, they won that game thirty four to
Speaker 3: twenty nine. Day, yes, back in Week one, right exactly.
Speaker 3: But here's here's who who else they've beat. They've beat
Speaker 3: New Orleans two and seven. Cleveland, Yeah, they beat Cleveland,
Speaker 3: wo's two and seven. They beat the Giants who are
Speaker 3: two and seven. They beat Cincinnati, who's four and five.
Speaker 3: They beat Jacksonville, who's two and seven. My question for
Speaker 3: you is how good is this Eagles team? Because they
Speaker 3: really haven't beaten better teams. They've beaten a lot of
Speaker 3: bad teams. And again this is not about the Cowboys,
Speaker 3: because you would say the Cowboys are in the category
Speaker 3: with some of those other teams. But how good they are.
Speaker 2: For the Eagles to beat the Cowboys? Yeah?
Speaker 3: But how good is this Eagles team? Do you think?
Speaker 7: I think they are inconsistent and each game shows a
Speaker 7: little bit of a roller coaster. Now a team that
Speaker 7: has won four games in a row, why are they inconsistent?
Speaker 6: What are you saying?
Speaker 2: Nick?
Speaker 7: I am looking at four teams that are under five
Speaker 7: hundred at the moment, So I think at times you
Speaker 7: see the Eagles play their best and they're a rushing
Speaker 7: attack with the Jalen Hurds and Saquon Barkley, and they're
Speaker 7: tough and they're physical and they're mean, and then at
Speaker 7: their worst, they cannot they can't get off the field defensively,
Speaker 7: they can't get a first down offensively. Hurts makes bad decisions.
Speaker 7: It's it's an up and down roller coaster of a team.
Speaker 7: It's very similar to what we saw last year with
Speaker 7: certain things from that final stretch that the Eagles had
Speaker 7: last year refined in the sense that Hurts isn't making
Speaker 7: as poor of decisions. I think they're head coaches, but
Speaker 7: there's there's ye man, and when when Nick siri.
Speaker 2: Keep in a game, you will know, well, keep you
Speaker 2: in a game.
Speaker 6: It is It's wild.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know they Nick's absolutely right. The one thing
Speaker 8: is they are wildly inconsistent, though. I think I think
Speaker 8: sa Kuon Barkley, though, has made a huge difference for them.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's taken some pressure off Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 15: Uh.
Speaker 8: You know, they they've struggled with some injuries on this
Speaker 8: offensive line. They still got outstanding skill. They've struggled with
Speaker 8: injuries at the wide receiver spot.
Speaker 15: A J.
Speaker 8: Brown, you know, is currently dealing with a knee injury.
Speaker 8: Dallas Goddard's dealing with a hamstring injury. You know, they
Speaker 8: play a ton of twelve personnel, the two tight ends,
Speaker 8: one back. They're really that's something that you know, Kellen
Speaker 8: Moore is really is kind of uh gone to with
Speaker 8: this with this current group. Their offensive line at times,
Speaker 8: uh blocks really well in the running game. I mean,
Speaker 8: they do a good job of coming on off the ball,
Speaker 8: getting in the guys and then getting the second level.
Speaker 2: Their center.
Speaker 8: They tried to do the same things with like what
Speaker 8: they had with Kelsey, where if he's uncovered, they pull
Speaker 8: him out in space, they block everybody down. You know,
Speaker 8: there's there's a there's a lot of things to to
Speaker 8: kind of take from their from their offensive line and
Speaker 8: their scheme and the way that Kellen Moore is trying
Speaker 8: to run the ball. But I just think the biggest
Speaker 8: difference right here with this team is is the the
Speaker 8: addition of Sakuon Barkley. I think that that I think
Speaker 8: that's what makes this team tough for Dallas to have
Speaker 8: to deal with, because they they can you can hand
Speaker 8: him the ball and it's going to get to the
Speaker 8: edge and then it's going to get around you know,
Speaker 8: Dallas has played Saquon Barkley before, but it's every time
Speaker 8: he's not healthy. He he looks like the player that
Speaker 8: everybody thought he was going to be, uh when he
Speaker 8: first came in the league from Penn State. Every seems
Speaker 8: like we played with the Giants. That quarterback play wasn't
Speaker 8: good enough, The offensive line wasn't good enough, the receivers
Speaker 8: weren't good enough. I mean they they He's got guys
Speaker 8: around him where he doesn't have to completely carry the load,
Speaker 8: but he can.
Speaker 2: You know, he makes a lot of plays. He makes
Speaker 2: a lot of plays in the passing game.
Speaker 8: You know, they run wheel routes. They ran two real
Speaker 8: wheel routes to him. Both been touchdowns, you know. I
Speaker 8: mean they could throw him the ball, they can hand
Speaker 8: him the ball, They'll put him in the wildcat, they'll
Speaker 8: snap him the ball. You know, it's going to be
Speaker 8: a challenge for Dallas to have to stop this, stop
Speaker 8: this Philadelphia rushing attack in that way.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Barkley is a difference maker completely. And not only
Speaker 7: has he been a big difference but that offensive line
Speaker 7: and they had to do a lot of shuffling this
Speaker 7: past offseason. I got to give them credit to Howie
Speaker 7: Roseman or whoever constructed that offensive line in the absence
Speaker 7: of a couple of guys. They did a really good job. Granted,
Speaker 7: I think there is a whole at left tackle that
Speaker 7: we'll probably get into here in a moment, but Barkley
Speaker 7: wasn't the only guy they went and got from New York.
Speaker 7: Makai Becton and has been really good in run block
Speaker 7: and I really like what he brings to the right
Speaker 7: guard position. He was a former for shround pick, played
Speaker 7: with the Jets for a while, never really found his footing,
Speaker 7: but it looks like he has found his footing in
Speaker 7: Philadelphia and he has been paving ways on the right
Speaker 7: side of that offensive line for Saquon Barkley, and Barkley's
Speaker 7: just finding a lot of room up front. Granted, I
Speaker 7: don't want to take anything away from Saquon Barkley because
Speaker 7: he's a talented runner. He's a physical runner. He's not
Speaker 7: a guy you want to bring down. But this offensive
Speaker 7: line has helped him out quite a bit too.
Speaker 8: Yeah, where they've been bad and Nick's absolute right about
Speaker 8: the running games, So they've been bad as some of
Speaker 8: the pass protection stuff, as you know, on the left
Speaker 8: side you know, Fred Johnson, who's stepped in for Jordan Mylotta,
Speaker 8: has given up some pressures, given up the most pressures
Speaker 8: of anybody you watch him play him Landon Dickerson on
Speaker 8: that left side over there, they got a couple guys.
Speaker 8: Beckton has been beat. The run stuff is really really
Speaker 8: good with Beckton coming off the ball, but he's a
Speaker 8: big guy, He's massive. His foot quickness at times has
Speaker 8: been a problem when people have run twist stunts and
Speaker 8: the same some of the stuff.
Speaker 2: That Dallas deals with.
Speaker 8: Dallas deals with they get too many guys locked on
Speaker 8: one guy. Beckten has trouble adjusting back and all of
Speaker 8: a sudden he has to He's he sets and he's
Speaker 8: now passing, but then he has to come back to
Speaker 8: get the twister. That's where you've watched the sacks and
Speaker 8: things and the pressures. That's where it's come from him
Speaker 8: and Landon Dickerson. I don't think they're very good foot athletes,
Speaker 8: you know, kind of bigger guys, especially Beckton, but they've
Speaker 8: got a really athletic center Lane Johnson's a very.
Speaker 2: Good athlete at right tackle.
Speaker 8: But there there are some there are some some cracks
Speaker 8: in this offensive line when it does come to some
Speaker 8: pass protection stuff.
Speaker 3: Is this a game where and I know this this
Speaker 3: was the case when the Cowboys played the forty nine Ers.
Speaker 3: I think it was Nick that you brought this idea
Speaker 3: at first, But is this a game where you tell
Speaker 3: your defensive ends I care a lot less about sacks,
Speaker 3: stay in your lanes, make sure you set the edge.
Speaker 3: Let's stop the run, because if you can stop the run,
Speaker 3: that's the biggest battle you'll have to battle with this
Speaker 3: this Eagles team.
Speaker 7: I lean a little bit differently this time around, just
Speaker 7: because of the athlete that Jalen Hurts is. And it's
Speaker 7: a healthy Jalen Hurts that we're seeing this year. It's
Speaker 7: a physical runner Jalen Hurts that we're seeing this year
Speaker 7: compared to last year, where I think that knee was
Speaker 7: bothering him quite a bit more than you know they
Speaker 7: led on I I I want to contain Jalen Hurts
Speaker 7: because I think Saquon can still get his and you
Speaker 7: can win that ball game. If this is a game
Speaker 7: where Michael Parsons comes back, throw him at left tackle
Speaker 7: and let him go go to work, I think this
Speaker 7: could be a really I think this could be an
Speaker 7: opportunity for him to really get some get some momentum,
Speaker 7: and get some sacks on Jalen Hurts. Contain the pocket.
Speaker 7: I would rather them contain the pocket than contain the
Speaker 7: run game. That's me personally.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is kind of a nightmare game for Parsons.
Speaker 8: Parsons has had some of his He's looked so bad
Speaker 8: playing the Eagles scheme wise, because they put him.
Speaker 2: In no man's lamp.
Speaker 8: He's he's he's like, should I chase or should I stay?
Speaker 8: Wide It's like an old Clash song, Should I stay
Speaker 8: or should I guess? He guys are way too young.
Speaker 12: I do.
Speaker 8: Man the clash should I stay or should I go?
Speaker 8: But yeah, so the but that's the thing about with
Speaker 8: with with with Parsons is that he gets caught. You know,
Speaker 8: he's kind of trying to play his assignment and then
Speaker 8: all of a sudden, though they hand the ball. And
Speaker 8: that's that's the thing that now with with Barkley, you know,
Speaker 8: you can hand the ball to him inside and and
Speaker 8: you'll be just fine. You know, you'll be just fine
Speaker 8: doing that. But it's it's going to be a challenge.
Speaker 8: It's going to be a challenge because you know, first
Speaker 8: game back, and and this team traditionally has given him
Speaker 8: problems just because they make him have to play with
Speaker 8: some indecision.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Lobile has Jalen been.
Speaker 8: He hasn't really had to be. Now he can still run.
Speaker 8: He could he had it. Used to have a shoulder
Speaker 8: problem and he didn't want and then now you know,
Speaker 8: he had a knee problem, and now he didn't really
Speaker 8: didn't want to.
Speaker 2: But he's still He's one of those he holds the ball.
Speaker 2: Here's another one of those quarterbacks. You play the guy
Speaker 2: at San Francisco.
Speaker 8: These guys that hold the ball, but this guy, he
Speaker 8: actually the longer he holds the ball, he's like about
Speaker 8: a sixty percent passer doing that. So, I mean there's
Speaker 8: times where guys that hold the ball and they're not
Speaker 8: good at that. Remember brock Purty was a hold the
Speaker 8: ball and then he was good at that. I went
Speaker 8: back and watched the interceptions. You can make this guy
Speaker 8: panic a little bit, but you gotta get up to
Speaker 8: him and make him kind of because he'll he'll do
Speaker 8: stupid things like run to his right and throw the
Speaker 8: ball all the way back in the middle of the field,
Speaker 8: or he'll just think he could take a deep shot
Speaker 8: and the safety standing right there and it's an interception.
Speaker 8: But to your question, the mobility is still it's very
Speaker 8: just it's very much like, Okay, I'm just gonna it's
Speaker 8: not much so much designed runs. It's more like get
Speaker 8: out of trouble runs, is what it is.
Speaker 7: Per Pro Football Focus, he has scrambled outside of the
Speaker 7: pocket on passing plays twenty one times this season for
Speaker 7: one eighty five yards, and just in general, his rushing
Speaker 7: stats are eighty six carries for three hundred.
Speaker 6: And twenty two yards and eight scores.
Speaker 7: He's around about the same pace that he was at
Speaker 7: last year yardage wise, but attempts have gone up, So
Speaker 7: that's that's something to kind of keep an eye on.
Speaker 3: I guess all right, let's tack our final break. We'll
Speaker 3: come back. We got more thoughts and questions on this

Speaker 2: good purple out there going. That's it brought us eat
Speaker 2: that bottom trash fish trash opinion.
Speaker 3: Look, that's what I don't care. It taste good.
Speaker 2: It's like make up my own sauce, right exactly, All right,
Speaker 2: here we go.
Speaker 3: Let's let's get a few more questions here about this
Speaker 3: Eagles offense versus Dallas defense. Let's assume for a second
Speaker 3: that Bland is not playing this week week. I think
Speaker 3: that's probably a safe assumption. Let's just assume, how should
Speaker 3: Dallas best try to defend Brown and Brown and Smith?
Speaker 2: Is Brown gonna play?
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's assume Brown's playing. Let's assume Bland is not.
Speaker 6: That's hue, how to go?
Speaker 3: The other teams players play in ours are out.
Speaker 7: So let's DeVante Smith. You're rarely going to see him
Speaker 7: line up outside. Yeah, And Jordan Lewis, he's played well
Speaker 7: enough this year to give him that challenge. I think, honestly,
Speaker 7: DeVante will get his, But I think Jordan Lewis will
Speaker 7: get his too.
Speaker 6: I agree.
Speaker 7: I think there have been only a handful of bright
Speaker 7: spots on this defense this year. Jordan Lewis is one
Speaker 7: of them. He's on a one year deal. I think
Speaker 7: this is a guy that you got to bring back.
Speaker 7: He's been that he's been that impactful. I think at
Speaker 7: times there's been games where it could have gotten a
Speaker 7: lot worse and it didn't. You know, some of these
Speaker 7: games that have seen the offense get back within one score,
Speaker 7: guys like Jordan Lewis to Marvin Overshowing that those guys
Speaker 7: are kind of reasons that they were able to do
Speaker 7: that in my opinion.
Speaker 3: Is he one of the most Is he the most
Speaker 3: consistent player on this defense this year?
Speaker 6: That's a that's a good point.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 3: I wonder i'm asking the question. I think an argument
Speaker 3: can be made, but I haven't really thought enough about
Speaker 3: it to give it.
Speaker 8: There's a lot of areas in this offense where are
Speaker 8: seeing me defense where metrics will tell you're either thirty
Speaker 8: or thirty first or thirty second. In the nickel stuff.
Speaker 8: You're one of the better teams when you play a
Speaker 8: nickel from the nickel spot in.
Speaker 2: The league because of how he plays overall.
Speaker 8: So yeah, in a in a in a year where
Speaker 8: everything is not looking great on your defense, he is
Speaker 8: the one guy that has actually shown up and plays.
Speaker 3: I just like how he plays. I like his attitude,
Speaker 3: he approaches the game. I like how he approaches life
Speaker 3: like I think he's just a good quality dude, A good.
Speaker 7: Dude, really good dude. I uh, to back to your
Speaker 7: point on Brown Smith. So Jordan Lewis on Smith, Trayvon
Speaker 7: Diggs on Brown and if they if they flip the field,
Speaker 7: keep Trayvon Diggs on the side where he's most comfortable.
Speaker 6: And so you would not.
Speaker 3: You would not. I know that they don't. You would
Speaker 3: not consider traveling him with Brown knowing that Kaylen's on
Speaker 3: the other side.
Speaker 6: I mean, yes, I.
Speaker 7: Would consider it, and more so just kind of communicating
Speaker 7: what probably will happen. Yeah, I guess yes, I would
Speaker 7: consider it. At the end of the day, I think
Speaker 7: that probably factored in my thought process there. But you
Speaker 7: have Kayln Carson. Has he been up and down at times? Yes,
Speaker 7: but you gotta throw him out there at times too,
Speaker 7: So like this is a situation where you're gonna throw
Speaker 7: him out there and see.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 7: One interesting point here in this game is Israel mcwamou
Speaker 7: Dallas Goddard has gotten his he's he had one hundred
Speaker 7: and seventy yard game against New Orleans in Week three.
Speaker 7: He could certainly, you know, be a weapon for Jalen
Speaker 7: Hurts over the middle of the field. Now, would they
Speaker 7: feel comfortable putting a guy like Demarvin overshown on a
Speaker 7: Goddard and maybe having mcwamou handle some aj Brown responsibilities.
Speaker 7: I think there is still a lot of work in
Speaker 7: progress when it comes to coverage on this defense right now,
Speaker 7: and I think that's certainly an option too.
Speaker 8: If all things are healthy for the Eagles. If Goddard
Speaker 8: is he's dealing with a hamstring right now. If all
Speaker 8: things are healthy, my priorities are Smith, Goddard, and then Brown.
Speaker 8: That would be my priority right there. Yeah, because what
Speaker 8: happens is he's going to throw the ball to Smith
Speaker 8: because he could he could play at all levels. He
Speaker 8: could run, he could run the cross, he could run
Speaker 8: the hitch, he could run the post. He runs all
Speaker 8: the routes. And that's where that's where this quarterback will
Speaker 8: try and find him.
Speaker 2: He will, he will look.
Speaker 8: The next guy he's going to look for is that's that.
Speaker 8: Now you've got to figure out about him, and you
Speaker 8: know he's gonna run. He's his stuff is like underneath,
Speaker 8: not so much up the seams or up the field,
Speaker 8: but kind of block weight, you know, like what you
Speaker 8: saw from Kittle yep, that.
Speaker 2: Kind of stuff.
Speaker 8: And then Brown, Brown is going to be the guy
Speaker 8: that's gonna go vertical on you. He's the one that
Speaker 8: they're gonna try and hit the shot on the deep
Speaker 8: shots and stuff like that. So to me, I I
Speaker 8: kind of I kind of my priority is I think
Speaker 8: I think Smith is a hardcover. I don't think you're
Speaker 8: you're gonna have. I think you're gonna have He's you said,
Speaker 8: he gets his you know, you get yours kind of
Speaker 8: a thing. I think you're gonna if you if you
Speaker 8: had a fifty to fifty game, because you get down
Speaker 8: the red zone, he's he's their target down in the
Speaker 8: red zone. I mean he's going to because he finds
Speaker 8: space down there, he's really good at and they get
Speaker 8: him on the move and all that.
Speaker 2: So whoever you feel like.
Speaker 8: Can take him the best and stay with him on
Speaker 8: all the routes that he's going to run, that needs
Speaker 8: to be your priority right there, and then next then
Speaker 8: figure out, I believe next, figure out what Goddard is
Speaker 8: going to do that that that's how just watching their tape,
Speaker 8: I kind of felt like that's the way that that
Speaker 8: if the progressions for hurts, it's Smith Goddard Brown.
Speaker 2: That's kind of how I feel like he's going to
Speaker 2: play this game.
Speaker 3: You mentioned you guys mentioned Kayln Carson. Where where do
Speaker 3: you think he struggles the most at this point?
Speaker 2: What's he having confidence is not I'm not going to
Speaker 2: say shot.
Speaker 8: It's shaky right now because they attack him and the
Speaker 8: problem is when he came out of Wake Forest.
Speaker 2: He was a physical player.
Speaker 8: We've seen him misattackle and make a tackle, make it tackle,
Speaker 8: make it tackle, you know, not that he but his shoulder.
Speaker 8: I mean, I think he here, he is, he's going
Speaker 8: through a deal where he was hurt. He's missed time.
Speaker 8: You know, he hasn't had a lot of you know,
Speaker 8: he's had reps and playing games. But teams go after him.
Speaker 8: Now they've kind of figured out where's number twenty one.
Speaker 8: Let's get our guys over on the Falcons. Clearly did
Speaker 8: the Falcons figured out that, like, hey, we're gonna throw
Speaker 8: at seven, We're gonna throw it twenty one over here.
Speaker 8: You know that's the guy we need to attack, and
Speaker 8: they did. And I think teams are kind of figuring
Speaker 8: that out, and he just, you know, he's just he
Speaker 8: needs a game where he knocks two or three balls down.
Speaker 8: It kind of gets him back into that Wake Forest
Speaker 8: mode where he was super competitive, super tough, tackling and
Speaker 8: making plays for his team at that time.
Speaker 7: This is just something I've kind of theorized off of
Speaker 7: watching film. This is me kind of assuming how how
Speaker 7: another player is thinking, which I do not like to do.
Speaker 7: I've mentioned that a couple of times. But what I
Speaker 7: see from Kayln Carson is it looks like he's too
Speaker 7: scared to give up the big play, so much so
Speaker 7: that he gives up so much leverage in front of
Speaker 7: him that he's like, okay, as long as they don't
Speaker 7: get behind me, I'm okay.
Speaker 6: I'm taking this.
Speaker 7: He's only given up two completions over twenty yards all season,
Speaker 7: but it's this that tend to twenty range where he's
Speaker 7: just getting chopped up over and over and over again.
Speaker 3: That's about that confidence.
Speaker 2: If he makes that.
Speaker 8: Tackle down in the down in the you know, Philly
Speaker 8: Atlanta was coming out and they throw the ball the
Speaker 8: flat and he makes that tackle and they get off
Speaker 8: the field on third down, you know, instead he misses
Speaker 8: it and it goes up the sidelines. For a big
Speaker 8: game and all that, and you know, that's kind of
Speaker 8: stuff he needs to make some of those plays. I
Speaker 8: think he's that kind of guy when he makes a play.
Speaker 8: When he makes a play, now he starts getting into
Speaker 8: the game that way. And you know, right now, I
Speaker 8: just think his confidence is not where it probably has
Speaker 8: needs to be for him playing right now. The injury
Speaker 8: probably has got him shook a little bit about the shoulder.
Speaker 8: Can I be physical, can I tackle? Can I do
Speaker 8: all these things? You know with my shoulder being kind
Speaker 8: of a little bit, you know, trying to get it right.
Speaker 9: Well, he's a talented player, but again you're asking for
Speaker 9: a young, inexperienced guy to take this kind of load.
Speaker 9: And I think the inexperience and and him being a
Speaker 9: rookie is going to show so not I deal that
Speaker 9: you're having to rely on him. And I think the
Speaker 9: big thing now that he's back is the whole injury situation.
Speaker 9: We know that mentally that can be it can stop
Speaker 9: you from doing or like trying to give it your
Speaker 9: all because now you've been through an injury and that's
Speaker 9: in the back of your head. You don't want to
Speaker 9: get injury, even if you're not trying to. It's gonna
Speaker 9: show in that way. And on the other side, with
Speaker 9: Trevon Diggs, again, we we've seen some really good time
Speaker 9: We've seen him play well. I don't want to get
Speaker 9: yell at he's not some good plays. But at the
Speaker 9: same time, he's another one that even though he played,
Speaker 9: he's still kind of banged up a little bit with
Speaker 9: the what was it the was it the ankle, calf
Speaker 9: and he's so many he played and it's great. But again,
Speaker 9: that's another thing that I think in most players at
Speaker 9: this point of the year, they're with something. But that's
Speaker 9: another guy that don't think that they can't attack that
Speaker 9: side of the field either. I think they can take
Speaker 9: advantage of a Trevlon Diggs as well. So that's just
Speaker 9: very tough for this defense overall.
Speaker 3: One more quick question before we end the show, looking
Speaker 3: at what the Cowboys have right now on the rest
Speaker 3: of the defensive line. How much of an impact do
Speaker 3: you think Micah can really have when he returns, whether
Speaker 3: it's this week or whatever week it is. How much
Speaker 3: of an impact can he really have with a defensive
Speaker 3: line that right now just isn't being able to really
Speaker 3: consistently get pressure.
Speaker 7: I think he can't have an impact because he's always
Speaker 7: been a guy that's kind of on an island and
Speaker 7: does you know, something very different than everyone else. And
Speaker 7: as long as he is getting his then I think
Speaker 7: it could be a trickle down effect. Look, you see
Speaker 7: a Micah Parsons over the course of the last couple of
Speaker 7: years where he's very big on his sack numbers and
Speaker 7: very big on his tackles for losses and things of
Speaker 7: that nature. And you know take that for how you will.
Speaker 7: But he's missed this amount of time, his sack numbers
Speaker 7: are going to be decreased this season. As a result,
Speaker 7: he's going to try to get as much back up
Speaker 7: double digit sacks as he can. I think this is
Speaker 7: a situation where you go down the rest of the
Speaker 7: season and uh, he understands the the negotiations he's about
Speaker 7: to hop into next offseason.
Speaker 3: Does that not worry you? The reason why I say
Speaker 3: that is because if you if you're worried about getting
Speaker 3: sacked numbers, sometimes sacks have to come to you. If
Speaker 3: you start pressing too much, you get out of position,
Speaker 3: you don't set the edge, you're too worried about getting
Speaker 3: up feel, and then you get in gashed at the right.
Speaker 8: I'd lind him up, I'd line him up over this
Speaker 8: left tackle and go to work. Well that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, make make the left side of
Speaker 8: this offensive line for the Eagles have to block him.
Speaker 8: You know, if you continue may if you continue to
Speaker 8: get some good play from Carl Lawson. I mean, that's
Speaker 8: why I asked the question about could this be where
Speaker 8: Carl Lawson and Parsons could they give you enough pass rush. Yeah,
Speaker 8: you know that's you know, because Lawson has shown and
Speaker 8: when he's given the opportunity that he's kind of getting
Speaker 8: back to the old mad steeled self. So let him
Speaker 8: work against Lane Johnson and put and put Mike over
Speaker 8: on the other side and and see if they can
Speaker 8: they can do some good that way. I'll tell you
Speaker 8: another thing too, to keep an eye on this Eagles
Speaker 8: running back group between Barkley and Game Will and those
Speaker 8: guys they don't.
Speaker 2: Pass protect well.
Speaker 8: Barkley's given up two sacks this year, you know, when
Speaker 8: he's had to do so anything to make these guys
Speaker 8: have to play, they give up pressures and they give
Speaker 8: up sacks. So don't expect help from their running backs
Speaker 8: in this game.
Speaker 2: If that's the case, I.
Speaker 7: Would be putting Chauncey Golson on the right side and
Speaker 7: letting Carl and Micah Parsons rotate on that left side,
Speaker 7: keep them fresh, and have them even line them up
Speaker 7: next to each other out opportunities too.
Speaker 6: Of course, there's a way to do that.
Speaker 7: The reason I say Golson on the right side is
Speaker 7: because I think if you put a guy like Karl
Speaker 7: Lawson on that right side, doesn't have a lot of length,
Speaker 7: probably wouldn't be as strong as a run defender against
Speaker 7: lane Johnson. You're giving Saquon Barkley a huge lane on
Speaker 7: that right side to run the football.
Speaker 6: But that's just been kind of looking at it.
Speaker 3: All right, that's rap. I appreciate you, guys. Jonas, we're
Speaker 3: back tomorrow. We'll talk about Philadelphia defense versus the Cowboys offense.
Speaker 3: Till then from the Carris Brian brought us what Derek.
