It's these three weeks. 39 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 3: It's been three weeks calling multiple preseason games, calling HBCU 40 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 3: Classic games from Canton, Ohio for the NFL Network, flying 41 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 3: from Texas to Cali, from Texas to Ohio to do 42 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,399 Speaker 3: NFL Network broadcast. 43 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: And I'm sure you're just hunky door. You haven't had 44 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: a single lick of pain the whole way. Good thing 45 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: you didn't have a major I don't know what I 46 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: was thinking spine or anything. 47 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 4: Bro. 48 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole back surgery thing was crazy. It was 49 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: something that was needed. Everybody's like, why'd you do it? 50 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: Now? 51 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: Because I had to do it at some point. It 52 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: was either like do it after the season and be 53 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: miserable the whole offseason, or do it during the season 54 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: and be distracted. Well, you know by the work, you know. 55 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: So I had to get it done. My whole spinal 56 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: fusion was necessary because my spine was collapse. It was 57 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: displaced all the things. So they had to pull my 58 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: spine back in place, raise it up, put an insert 59 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: in there, screw it in, went through the front by 60 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: the way. Okay, they went through my stomach, okay, moved 61 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: everything out the way, got to my spine, put the 62 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: insert in, turned me over. Use the robot to put 63 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: the screws in through my back as well. So I'm 64 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: a half inch taller now, boys, really, how about that? 65 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: Yeah that was the real surgery. We need some new 66 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: combound messure. Yeah, yeah, we need comb They had me 67 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: at sixty two and a half at the I'm officially 68 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: six to three, So officially six three two fifty now 69 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,839 Speaker 1: that's that. No, So, no, the first week. The first 70 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: week suck. Shout out to my wife Natalie, who literally 71 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: held me down, picked me up, did all the things. 72 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: I'll keep away from some of the stories that we 73 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: have behind the scenes that she had to deal with, 74 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: but she was awesome through that first week. That second 75 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: week got a little bit better. Then I had to 76 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: start traveling, and that was that being by yourself for 77 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,839 Speaker 1: almost week and a half. At least, pull the first 78 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: class on those they take care of you. Yeah, okay, yeah, 79 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: the NFL, NFL network takes care of you know in 80 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: that regardless. 81 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 3: Of just make sure because coach in that scenario with 82 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 3: not that's what I would have Isaiah. 83 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 5: Stand back, we're talking about I'm not getting Ky the 84 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 5: other one way or the other. 85 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: He's in first class. So that was all good. And 86 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: then you know, right before I was able to fly 87 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: out of l A to go to Ohio, something around 88 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: here happened. Yeah that you know, they did it right 89 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: before the Friday show on Good Morning Football. So that 90 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: was awesome being at the table having to address all 91 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: that stuff because you know, everybody's like, Isaiah, how about 92 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: them Cowboys? So what did they do? The whole Michael 93 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: Parsons thing. Obviously, I know you guys already covered it, 94 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: but that was that was what want you take you 95 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: want my take on it? I, first of all, I 96 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: did not believe that the Joneses would pull that move. 97 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: I and there was nothing in me that would state 98 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: that you have a generational player like that and you 99 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: will actually make the move. Now, is it that team 100 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: or is it the moving No, just to move in 101 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: generals move to have it talent like that and to 102 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: let him go, that takes some gusto. That takes some 103 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,239 Speaker 1: gusta regardless of whatever reasonings you may have, that still 104 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,679 Speaker 1: takes some cohonas in order to take. 105 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 3: It's a stable Okay, speaking of that, it did if 106 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 3: I was thinking about this maybe a day and a 107 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 3: half ago. And at the end of that documentary, one 108 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 3: of the final I think it was the final episode, 109 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,799 Speaker 3: there's a there's a clip that went viral where Jerry's 110 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 3: talking to Ram's ownership and he said, oh, I just 111 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 3: don't have the cohonas. I don't have the guts to 112 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 3: make the trade that you guys did with Stafford and Golf, 113 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 3: talking about the Ram Stafford Golf trade, and he's like, 114 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 3: I don't have the cohonas to do that, and so 115 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 3: that went viral. Of course, Cowboys, Twitter, Cowboys, everything picked 116 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 3: it up, and then we see a move like this. 117 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I don't know if there's a direct correlation. 118 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: There may or may not be, but I truly believe 119 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: that if you had any question gens as to the 120 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: impact of Stephen Jones and Will McLay on mister Jerry Jones, 121 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: I think this probably was the most impactful, polarizing way 122 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: to describe their influence on mister Jones. People forget they 123 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: said unanimous. Yes, And the reason why I say that 124 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: is because you look at you. I don't know that 125 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: they samous. I don't believe that it was completely unanimous, 126 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: but I do think that it was heavily weighted in 127 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: the favor of what they opted to do. I'll take that, Yeah, 128 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: but I believe that their influence in terms of especially 129 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: when McClay and Stephen Jones really just take it. Not 130 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: to say that Double J can't make his own decisions, 131 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: but I'm just saying that to be able to say, hey, 132 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: take the motion out of it. Let's take the motion 133 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: out of it. Is take the fact that this dude 134 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: is as an absolute beast of a player. Let's look 135 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: at it strategically. Let's look at it with the mentality 136 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: of we're trying to build this roster, and you can 137 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: have a handful of very dominant players, where you can 138 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: have a roster of really good players, right, and when 139 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: we're really good across the board, it's really difficult to stop, 140 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: right because if you have a handful of really good players, 141 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,679 Speaker 1: now we can gain plan that. Now we can focus 142 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: on that player, now we can highlight that. But if 143 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: everybody on your roster is making an impact, then it's like, dang. 144 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: And when you as we get ready to talk about 145 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: the egos, especially their defense, who's the one person that 146 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: you circle on their defense that you're like, oh, you 147 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: better watch out for this guy is really it's really 148 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: I mean, there's one guy that does absolute beast right 149 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: in terms of their d line, But you have to 150 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: respect everybody, everybody like the group, So that harder is 151 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: the headline. Jalen Caller is a headliner, but like, you 152 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: can't just focus on Jaylen Carter because somebody else will 153 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: kill you too. So that's the approach that I feel 154 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: like Dallas is really getting to and I think that 155 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: they're coming to that maturity, right. I don't want to 156 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: say that in a demoralizing way, right, but like there, 157 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: I think they've matured over this last year in regards 158 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: to understanding what it takes to put together a full team. 159 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: So I want to give kudos to the front office 160 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: for making for being willing to make the move with 161 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: the understanding that it's going to be painful. But if 162 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: you turn around and do what you can do with 163 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: that space, with the with those draft picks, with the 164 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: players that you acquired, with the player you acquired, then 165 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: you could actually have a much better team. Quick question 166 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: for you, because we've all all answered these questions, but 167 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: the fans of the Best Cowboys podcast on Earth, I 168 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: want to hear your take on this. How are you 169 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: on the compensation package? I think they could have gotten more. 170 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: There would go there, we could have gone. That's a 171 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: complete and the reason why is because understanding who you're 172 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: trading with when you receive those first round pixels are 173 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: low first round picks, So that's why I believe that 174 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: you could have gotten more. 175 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 3: I think you needed another player, one another starter, one 176 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 3: more starter, and I think I would have. 177 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: Been okay, And I don't think they would have given 178 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: that up Green Bay. I don't think they would have 179 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: done that. And that's fair. Well then yeah, I mean 180 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: next if it was, Yeah, I think there's a handful 181 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: of teams that I probably would have called in regards 182 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 1: to that. I think one of those to address the 183 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: areas of your concern. Baltimore probably would have been high 184 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: on my list in terms of not having to deal 185 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: with them in your in your in your conference, and 186 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: them having some depth at the defensive line position. That 187 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: would have also been late first round. No, no, for sure, 188 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: it would have been late first round. Or but in 189 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 1: terms of teams that have additional guys to where it 190 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 1: can utilize, yes, in terms of the positional need that 191 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: you have strengthen an exact opponent, Yeah, but I do Again, 192 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: I everybody asked them, what do you think about this? 193 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: If they use the draft picks, if they use the 194 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: salary cap space, if they use additional money, then it's all. 195 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: Then then the Cowboys as an organization could be looked 196 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: at and you can say, good job on the trail. 197 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: And they did that right the first and first day. 198 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: First step they did was go out there, let's secure 199 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: Durn Bland, and I would imagine the next step is 200 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: going to be Tyler Smith, right, and then after that 201 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: then you could use those draft picks and say, hey, 202 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: we could either use these draft picks to go acquire 203 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 1: somebody else as an impact player, because it's hard for 204 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: organization to turn down and offer for a first round pick, 205 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: even if it's a low first round pick. If you 206 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: you have a starter on your team, maybe they were 207 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: a former All Pro bowler, and you say, hey, I 208 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: want that guy, I'll give your first round pick. Almost 209 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: every gym is going to be like what you say, 210 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: not yet? Yeah they heard first, Yeah, they heir first 211 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: round picks. 212 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 6: Right. 213 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: So they're all regardless, regardless of where it's at. Right. 214 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: So I believe especially teams that need to get some 215 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: depth and that have some salary cap issues, right, but 216 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: they want to add some more impact players. So I 217 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 1: think that they are in a really good position. I 218 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: am intrigued and I'm proud of what they've already done, 219 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: but I'm intrigued as to what else they're going to 220 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: do because there are some more holes that they need 221 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: to fill. 222 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 3: This is the whole compensation package debate, and it can 223 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 3: be ended by one thing, and that's hitting on whatever 224 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 3: they do next. And that's what Patrick said last week, 225 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 3: That's what Josh echoed last week. We talked about this 226 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 3: at nauseum. So I don't want to harp on Michael 227 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 3: Parsons as much anymore because Eagles got your thoughts. 228 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: But they have hit the first domino. Deron blam. That 229 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: four year deal for your extension awesome for him. I 230 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: love it for Doran. 231 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 3: I mean, I think all of us across the board 232 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,719 Speaker 3: have gotten to know Doron since he was drafted a 233 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 3: couple of years back, and he's one of the salt 234 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 3: of the earth guys in that locker room. Just an 235 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 3: incredible player, super deserving what he's done to work to 236 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 3: get to this point, to overcome adversity to be who 237 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 3: he is now. 238 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: I love this for him, and I don't know how 239 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: you can be critical of this move. It's a great deal. 240 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how you get critical hits great. It's 241 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: a great deal. 242 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 5: And if you consider, like how much he's guaranteed thirty 243 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 5: six point three you have a potential out in twenty 244 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 5: twenty seven. It's which would essentially be a thirty six 245 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,719 Speaker 5: point three million dollars deal. With thirteen million a dead cap, 246 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 5: something that you could definitely get over. But you also 247 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 5: consider the how many other fifth round picks have been 248 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 5: extended like this, you know, like you have to go 249 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 5: back to twenty twenty when you look at George Kittle, 250 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 5: who has signed a five year extension seventy five million 251 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 5: dollars in twenty twenty, and then the most recent example 252 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 5: was Diammador Leonore in last year, five year extension ninety 253 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 5: two million dollars. 254 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: He one of the few. Yeah, the next fifth round picks, Williams. 255 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 3: I mean, that's probably the next fifth round pick that 256 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 3: gets extended like that, and he's running back, so whatever 257 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 3: that number is gonna look. 258 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 5: Like, Yeah, exactly. The impressive for a fifth rounder. 259 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 3: Though, yeahs amazing and I love the proactiveness We've always 260 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 3: if you're one of the people that are upset with 261 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 3: the Micah trade Andrew upset with Deron Bland, you can 262 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 3: maybe tie those two things together because they're kind of 263 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 3: tied together because of the money that you left over. However, 264 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 3: if you're one of these people that are upset with 265 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 3: how the Micah situation began and the late start to 266 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 3: the Mica situation and then you're mad about Deron Bland. 267 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: Stop it, because this is this is avoiding that. I 268 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: feel like, do you guys get the same sentiment that 269 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: Dallas fans in general were substantially more upset about the 270 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: Luca trade than they worry about Micah. Absolutely, it shouldn't 271 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: hunt one. Yeah, Luca's trade was far more jarring. Yeah, 272 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: that's far more. 273 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 5: And it's surprising too, because you've seen the sort of 274 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 5: writing on the wall with Micah divorce that has been 275 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 5: kind of a buzzword they've used over the last few weeks. 276 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 5: I mean, Good Morning Football used it. You know, it's 277 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 5: it's something that we were sort of alluding to this 278 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 5: whole time. Granted, it was still very surprising. Michael was 279 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 5: at it. 280 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: What was Luca? 281 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 3: It was a player in two first right now, it 282 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 3: was a twenty twenty nine first and two players and 283 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 3: they also sent Max. 284 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: But it was also to Josh's point, it was the 285 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: compensation is not even club, not even, But it was 286 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: also the shock value out of nowhere in the middle 287 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: of the night sports wise. For sports historians, especially NFL historians, 288 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 1: you will recognize this this comp I equate the Luca 289 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: trade to the Coats in the Mayflower Trucks, parting Baltimore 290 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: in what it felt like the middle of the night 291 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: for that franchise to leave the city. I mean for 292 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: it to be what was like eleven eleven thirty pm 293 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: Central time, and all of a sudden, a meteor hits 294 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: the earth and Luca is traded, just springing back a 295 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: bunch of emotions, and then and then on top of that, 296 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: you look at the compensation and you say, and that's it. Also, yeah, 297 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: this is true. 298 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 3: When when my wife told me, because we went to 299 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 3: sleep early that night, we have the kids, you know, 300 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 3: like whatever. So I woke up the next day and 301 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 3: my wife, my wife was like, they traded Luca. 302 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 1: And I was like, stop it, no they did. What 303 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 1: are you talking about? And I was she was like, no, 304 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 1: it's real, it's everywhere. I was like, well, then what 305 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: did we get? Did we get seven first round picks? 306 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 3: Because first round picks in the NBA are not even 307 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 3: close to the equivalent of first round picks in the NFL. 308 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: They're completely weighed differently. 309 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 3: And even with that, the Cowboys got more for Michael 310 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 3: Parsons than the then the MAVs got for Luca. And 311 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 3: that was before the lottery and that whole thing, and 312 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 3: of course Cooper flag whatever. This is not the same 313 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 3: and one is not the same. Let's move on to 314 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 3: the fact that Doron Bland is now a cowboy. He's 315 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 3: locked up over your corners. 316 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: Expected to be available in week one? 317 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 7: You know who else might be expected to be Oh yeah, 318 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 7: let's talk about it, fellas there's an injury or another 319 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 7: first team all no less Yeah, and Trayvon Diggs, dolly 320 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 7: kind of important, kind of important. 321 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: He was a full participant in yesterday's practice. Was that 322 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: where the cow full full full, not limited, not limited 323 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: to one hundred percent full full? So why he's playing 324 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: like completely? We asked him, We asked him about in 325 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: the locker room, and he did say, in his words, 326 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: he's a seventy five eighty percent. Basically what that is 327 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: is he doesn't want to step over the training staff. 328 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: He doesn't want to step over the medical staff. Not 329 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: showing the cards, right, he still has to be cleared. 330 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: I mean, if you say seventy five percent, you just 331 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: showed did you say he showed respect to the training staff? 332 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: He did? Whoa he did? You're talking about Trayvon Diggs? Yeah? Absolutely, wow, 333 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: Which is in the first time felt because last week 334 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: I believe he you know, he showed full respect to 335 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: Britt Brown and jimmar and the trending staff. So yeah, 336 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: I know, right, narratives funny how that works. So so yeah, 337 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: or before after Michael Drake, this was before that was 338 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: before he said my team clock it. So Trevon Diggs 339 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: full participant, says seventy five to eighty percent chance he 340 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: plays against the Eagles. I view it as barn to 341 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: set back over the next day or so. I think 342 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs is on the field. Question is is he 343 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: on a pitch count? 344 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 8: Is he not? 345 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: But I think he takes my field. That would be 346 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: absolutely huge for the Dallas Cowboys. What did we talk 347 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: about timing? Again, which position was in arguably the most 348 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: dire straits? It was cornerback. You didn't know if Trayvon 349 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: would be ready. You didn't know, you know what where 350 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: they would play, deron, so forth and so on. So 351 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: what you do you make sure Dron's locked in, he's 352 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: fully healthy, unlike last year he had the fractured foot 353 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: that came out of nowhere. He's going to be on 354 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: the field. Treyvon Diggs well ahead of schedule. Looks like 355 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: he's going to be on the field. Great kyer elam 356 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: coming off of a great training camp. So your top 357 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: three guys are looking real crisp right now. Crisp again. 358 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 5: Treyvon Diggs hasn't played in a while, and no bigger 359 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 5: litmus test than we can one against arguably the best 360 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 5: of the best. 361 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: Surf here it comes in and then flipping to the 362 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. We had another full participant 363 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: that is tracking a little bit ahead of schedule, Tyler 364 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 1: guiding your starting left tackle. I like that guy as 365 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: it stands, it's trending toward taking the field against the 366 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, and I love what Nate Thomas has shown. 367 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: And I don't know that we talk about pitchcuns. I 368 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: don't know that Tyler Goyton will be fully unleashed, but 369 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: he is taking full participation in team drill, so it 370 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: looks like he could be on the field as well, 371 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: and it could be a combo of he and Nate 372 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,719 Speaker 1: Thomas out there trying to trying to stop the good news. Well, 373 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: the good news is is when it comes to the Eagles, 374 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: as we foreshadow, the Eagles, when it comes to the Eagles, 375 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: they're not the Giants when it comes to the edge rushers. 376 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: They're not some of the better edge and edge rush 377 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: team as far as depth is concerned. Right right, you 378 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: don't point at the Eagles, And Isaiah makes a good point. 379 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: There are guys that you're like, Okay, Jalen Carter is 380 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: the headliner, and there's like a Zach Bond and okay, 381 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,360 Speaker 1: those guys can impact games. But at the edge, there's 382 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: no one that you look at and say, oh, that's 383 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: that dude, right like you will on the interior. So 384 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's going to be an easy goal 385 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys on the edges at all. What I'm 386 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: saying is this at the edges may not be as 387 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: as difficult a game as if you go against it. 388 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: Just week one from last year exactly at that position. 389 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, so you know we'll see Tyler got in 390 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: full participant, Treyvon Diggs full participant, Cowboys training in the 391 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: right direction healthwise. Now, unfortunately, Perryon Winfrey did mispractice with 392 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: some back tightness, which now does matter however you feel 393 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: about the Michael trade, good, bad, or indifferent. This Kenny 394 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: Clark addition might have just been became extremely fortuitous. 395 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 3: You're saying, Okay, it's like, wait a second, look at 396 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 3: let's not hold no death standpoint. 397 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So if Perryon Winfrey is not on the field, 398 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: and you already have questions about what Mozzie Smith can 399 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: or cannot be, if Kenny Clark is not in the 400 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: building and Perryon Winfrey is not on the field, do 401 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: I have to finish this comment? Like how much more 402 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: concerning could that be? So what I'm saying is it 403 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 1: was alright. I'm just saying the timing of because we 404 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: talked about Kenny Clark does upgrade the defense as absolutely 405 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: so he went from then That's what I'm saying. Fine, 406 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: but if he's not here and perry On Winfrey is 407 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: unable to go, is my point? Now you go from 408 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: bad to you know, holy sugar, honey beam. I'm not 409 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: going to finish the statement because I learn that. All right, 410 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: I'm going a little QB vision. We are so done 411 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: your studying?

All right? 414 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 3: When we come back here on talking Cowboys, it's time 415 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 3: to preview the Cowboys offense up against that Philadelphia Eagles defense. 416 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: I hate the Eagles.

It's time for QB vision with Isaiah's standback. 465 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: Welcome back, Bud, Thanks Bud. 466 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 5: I need you to wear that like the strap the 467 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 5: play Oh I should I told get that for those 468 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 5: that are the visual at home, but to officially you 469 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 5: have to have to do the voice. 470 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 3: Guys. 471 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: Well we're back week one. No, really excited about this matchup, 472 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: you guys. Obviously the Philadelphia Eagles, as much as you 473 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: might despise them, you got to put some respect on 474 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: their name. No, they are the defending champions. These guys 475 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: return argus arguably the best defense from last year. As 476 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: a Dallas Cowboys now approach them. They're not the same 477 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: defense and Dallas do not have the same offense. So 478 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: we can look at last year's film all we want to. 479 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: The reality is last year Dak Prescott did not play 480 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: against the Philadelphia Egos. He did not at all. The 481 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: reality is last year they had a dude in the 482 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: middle of named Milton Williams. He's no longer there, former 483 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: LA Tech Bulldog. So they have some pieces. They don't 484 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 1: have big play Slagh who wasn't necessarily a big play 485 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: guy nomore. They don't have a handful of guys. However, 486 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: this is Johnson Eagles team returns, and those guys that 487 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: you mentioned are some of the three of the five 488 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 1: guys that are not returning. For these guys as starters, 489 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: they had seventeen returners of twenty two. When I say 490 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: that they let's get to what they want to do. Okay, 491 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 1: what they want to do and what they have shown 492 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: against you in the past is these guys want to 493 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: be a single high team. They will show two high safeties. 494 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: And the reason why this is important, listeners, is because 495 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: that is the first thing that the quarterback identifies when 496 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 1: he comes to the line of scrimmage. Where are the safeties? 497 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: So if I find my safeties, those guys are back there, 498 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,959 Speaker 1: they look like they're playing too high. All right, Now, 499 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: I work my way down towards the line of scrimmage. 500 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: When a line of scrimmage, you guys heard it. I 501 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: don't know if you guys listen to the our dot 502 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: com Dallas Cowboys dot Com a lot of great interviews, 503 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: but Dak Prescott is on record saying that they don't 504 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: show a lot, they don't do a lot, and that's 505 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: very true. These guys play are very simplistic vig fangio 506 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,959 Speaker 1: fungo defense. However, they are very selective and effective at 507 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: what they do. The big fellas upfront allow for them 508 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: to play simplistic. They allow for them to play fast. 509 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: And when I say the big fellas, let's talk about 510 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: it Jalen Carter ninety eight, you gotta find him. You 511 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: gotta know ezactly where he's at, and you better buckle 512 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: up your bootstraps and tighten up your belt because he 513 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: is coming downhill. He's a big force who not only 514 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: can stuff the a gaps, but he also can pass rush. 515 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: He's a problem. He is the problem on the defense 516 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia Eagles. There's another dude who necessarily hasn't 517 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: played up to the level. I feel he's capable of 518 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 1: playing that. But he's a house in Jordan Davis that's 519 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: gonna be playing right next to him. Those two big 520 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: fellas in the middle are huge. They allow for their 521 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: linebackers to run and hit, and their linebackers are active. 522 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,719 Speaker 1: Their linebackers are very smart, and their linebackers are very 523 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: physical Zach Bond is a problem. Nolan Smith, who actually 524 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 1: had an opportunity to get to know a little bit 525 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: this offseason by being on GMFB. He might be the 526 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: one of the most passionate football players that I've met. 527 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: Go dogs, I wasn't going to. I wasn't going to. 528 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 6: Like. 529 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: The only other, only other player that has given me 530 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: that feeling in their presence is Demo. Oh cool, likes 531 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: he's like that, like like super passionate, wants to learn 532 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: this one of our guys, Yeah, for sure, for sure. 533 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: But those guys and the reason why I say you 534 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: have to highlight those two guys. You highlight those two 535 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: linebackers and then you have to obviously go straight to 536 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: Cooper Degen. Cooper Degen from to me is like another 537 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: even though he's a cover nickel and all that stuff, 538 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: he likes to insert himself into the box along with 539 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 1: read blanker ship as well. Huh he has hands too. 540 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: But those guys, the reason why I bring those guys 541 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: up is because that front line doesn't allow your offensive 542 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: line to get past them. Right. So if you're blocking 543 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: these guys up front, you have five offensive linemen, but 544 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: two of those guys are taking up your middle three. Now, 545 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: the defensive ends, your tackles are responsible for those guys. 546 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,959 Speaker 1: Last time I checked, that's five on four. And if 547 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: it's five on four, then who can get up to 548 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: those three guys at the second level. Nobody. That's when 549 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: it's a problem. Nolan Smith is fast and he is decisive. 550 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: Zach Bond, we know what he's able to do. He's 551 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: able to force turnovers by being physical. He's a smart, 552 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: intellectual guy. So that front seven presents a problem. There 553 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 1: where I think that they are exposed now in twenty 554 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: twenty five is in their secondary. Because these guys want 555 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: to be a single high team. They'll show too high, 556 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: but then they'll rotate their safety down into the box 557 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: for run support because they want to take away that 558 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: element of your game. They want to get you passing 559 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: the ball. They can no longer do that. That's our 560 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: assumption before we see our non Villanella version of this offense. 561 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: The assumption is that they have to now make some 562 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: business decisions with their secondary. The offensive line has to 563 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 1: deal with those guys up front. That's your own problem, okay, 564 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: and you got to figure out how to establish some 565 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 1: kind of run game and get up to the second 566 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: level combo blocks all that thing. You have to establish 567 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: a run game. If you are able to establish a 568 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: run game, now can they roll Can they truly roll 569 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: that safety into the box and do what they want 570 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: to do with a vic Fangil defense. Whenever he blitzes, 571 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: he blitzes off the edge. It is not really Oh 572 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: that's really scary. You know where it's coming from, the 573 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: reason why that's a problem for them potentially is because 574 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is back. He can identify what you're doing. 575 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson is back, and you have to have somebody 576 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: who can cover him. And if you're either going to 577 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,959 Speaker 1: cover him with a safety or you're going to cover 578 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: him with one of those high intellectual linebackers that we 579 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: talked about, do you really want to use one of 580 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: those linebackers to stick Jake Ferguson or do you want 581 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: those guys in the box coming downhill? I've read those 582 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,640 Speaker 1: guys be in the box, okay, So if those guys 583 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,479 Speaker 1: are in the box, then who's responsible for Jake Ferguson? Right? 584 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: And if you want to play single high and have 585 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: a safety playing Jake Ferguson, now you are now forcing 586 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 1: a position. Last time I checked to have one guy 587 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 1: sticking CD Lamb and one guy sticking George Pickens. Yep, 588 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: business decisions, business decisions. If you are able to keep 589 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: them honest, keep your receivers out there. You line up 590 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: CD Lamb on one side, you line up George Pickens 591 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: on the other side, You line up Jake ferguson right. 592 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: And these guys want to stay too high. You have 593 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: to run the ball absolutely like it is beyond important 594 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: that Dallas finds a way to have enough somewhat effective run. 595 00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you got to rush for one 596 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five hundred. You have to be able 597 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: to get three yards a pop. 598 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 5: What is a tall task When you're saying that the 599 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 5: defensive line is always pushing down, getting past that first 600 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 5: level is going to be tough to begin with. But 601 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 5: I think you need to get your guys out in 602 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 5: open space, yes, which I think is what when you 603 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 5: can lean on a Cavanti turpin out in space. 604 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: I know he's a receiver. 605 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 5: Now they're putting more of an emphasis on him as 606 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 5: your third guy, but get him out in space. 607 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: If you can get if you can make them cover, Yeah, 608 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: once you're in eleven personnel, right, and whether that's Jalen 609 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: Tolbert or whether that's Cavante Turpin. Let's say, for instance, 610 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: you put Cavante Turpin out there as your slot receiver. 611 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: Now you're in a position to get these guys again, 612 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: it goes back to the run. If you can establish 613 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: a run, now you can do your play action. And 614 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: if you can do your play action now Jalen Carter 615 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: right now, big Baby Davis, all those guys have to 616 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: do what they have to run sidelined to sideline. That's 617 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: not what they want to do. They don't want to 618 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: go sideline to sideline. They want to go forward. And 619 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: if you can get these guys going with a run scheme, 620 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: going linearly right towards the sideline, and now they have 621 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: to respect that. And now all of a sudd Dak 622 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: Prescott boots out. Now you have Jakes Ferguson in the flats, 623 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: you have Cavante Turpin at the second level. You have 624 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb or George Pickens, two of the best deep 625 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: ball threat, high contested catch guys in the league, going 626 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: out there on deep posts and deep goal routes. These 627 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: guys safeties have to give, they have to respect that. 628 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of space in the middle for 629 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: Ferg and Turp or Ferg and Tolbert to work. That's 630 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: what you want to get to. That's how you can 631 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: hurt these guys. But it all starts with your ability 632 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: to run for three or four yards of pop. Yeah, 633 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: and if you can do that and successfully is ideal. 634 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: Obviously you want to run successfully successfully, but if you 635 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: can at least establish the thread of it, force them 636 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: to respect him consistency. Consistency then, and we talked about 637 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: this with Dak Prescott in the locker room. It was 638 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: an off the cuff, off the record conversation, but Dak 639 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: was basically saying the same thing. He was like, man, 640 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: you would love to see Dak hitting CD and pickings 641 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: on every play. He was like, but we got to 642 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: establish this run so that we can play off guess 643 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: what the play action and go from there. Because if 644 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: you can play off of the play action, I'm gonna 645 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: tell you right now, there's a reason that Nick Fangio 646 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: hasn't named his starting defensive backs just yet. Yep, you 647 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: because it doesn't matter, sir ye Cooper Degenie and good 648 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: luck buddy, who else? Right, QUINNYA. Mitchell, He's not. He 649 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: doesn't have the stripes, the stripes on the wall. He 650 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: doesn't have the skins on the wall. Okay, and he 651 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: has some coverage issues. And I'm gonna tell you say, 652 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: go dogs. Okay. For as much as we know what 653 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: Jalen Carter is and Jordan Davis can be and Nolan 654 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: Smith can be. I said this before the draft, and 655 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: I'm going to stand here and say it again. Ringo 656 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: is toast, absolute toast. He doesn't stand a chance. However, 657 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: there's a chance that he's going to be one of 658 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: the starting boundary corners when the Cowboys take the field. 659 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: I'm taking CD and or George Pickens against most cornerbacks 660 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: most of the time, against Mitchell and Ringo. If you 661 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: establish this run holy and established. And I know people 662 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: listen when I say established. I can't speak for anybody 663 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: else when I say established the rent. I need three yards. 664 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: I need like most people are gonna say I need 665 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: five or six. No, no, no, no, let's be realistic. 666 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: If I can get three yards on first down, if 667 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: I can get three yards on second down, third and four, 668 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: I'll take third and four all day. Long with the 669 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: weapons that I have at the receiver and tight in 670 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: position third and four is not bad. It's not because 671 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: it still gives you several options. You everything. 672 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 5: You just can't get behind the line on first you 673 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 5: cannot and get yourself in second and long situations. That's 674 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 5: just time and time again. What we were faced with 675 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 5: with the Mike McCarthy era and now this offense, what 676 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 5: it has going for it is the fact that it's 677 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 5: not like that. It can be disguised in other ways. 678 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 5: What did Breton Choannenhimmer say in is very first press 679 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,719 Speaker 5: press conference, It's like, we can do that, we can 680 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 5: add motion, we can hide things. The biggest thing that 681 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 5: the Cowboys have going for them is the freaking the 682 00:32:58,600 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 5: glasses with the nose on it. 683 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: They're disguised, right They have the what do you got 684 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: going on over here? 685 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 4: About? Like they can do that all day. That's why 686 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 4: they've been vanilla this whole preseason. It's because of this 687 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 4: game right here. I hope so, and I hope that's 688 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 4: the plan. I hope that's the master plan because we 689 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 4: kind of felt that way about McCarthy in his first year. 690 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: That first game was rough. Good difference, being though to 691 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: your point, tell the difference being the league had plenty 692 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: of years of film on McCarthy as a play caller. 693 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: How much film do they have on Schottenheimer as a 694 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: play caller. Not I'm not say not much. But to 695 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: that point, they have that Jackson, they don't have that 696 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: with this. You're right, You're right. So my point, there's 697 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: Dak curks not a lot of data that that cook. 698 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: But before you let that cook establish the run, you 699 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: have established the run. Because Schottenheimer did say one of 700 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: his first press conferences as head coach, he said, kind 701 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: of tongue in cheek, Unfortunately he let Russ cook a 702 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: little bit more than he would have liked because he 703 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: kind of bought into the hole the fandom want let 704 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: Ross cook in that whole mantra, and he kind of 705 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: let Russ do a little bit more than I think 706 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: he's learned from that and he understands that, hey, setting 707 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 1: up the run, established in the run will free up everything. 708 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: And Isaiah has said it time and time again on 709 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: this panel the Best Cowboys Podcast on Earth, it I 710 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: mentioned that, Yeah, I Dak Prescott plays the best when 711 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: he's playing off of play action. 712 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 3: There I got a couple of stats for you here. 713 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 3: This is just cold hard stats, like, so this is 714 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 3: factuald So if you want to disagree with it, then 715 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 3: go ahead, but it's factual. Dak Prescott is four and 716 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 3: one versus the Eagles since twenty twenty one, effectual two 717 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 3: and one when Philly plays Jalen Hurts. So you can't 718 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 3: even throw that out there that he hasn't played Jalen Hurts. 719 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,720 Speaker 3: He's won two of the three games. Only starting quarterback 720 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 3: with multiple wins versus the Eagles since that twenty twenty 721 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 3: one season. 722 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: The only one you want to. 723 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 3: Know his stats in those games one with it four 724 00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 3: and one record, Like we said, tasty completion percentage seventy 725 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:06,240 Speaker 3: delightful passing yards per game, three oh five passing touchdown 726 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:07,399 Speaker 3: to interception ratio. 727 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: This is where it gets interesting. Sixteen to one oh 728 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: passer seven and a half. 729 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 3: What if we said all off season about this weaponry 730 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:20,240 Speaker 3: around Dak Prescott. 731 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: Man, it's the what the. 732 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 3: It's been in quite some time, if not ever ever, 733 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 3: maybe ever maybe ever still yet to be seen. And 734 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 3: that's not factual yet, but we'll get on paper. It'll 735 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 3: get there on paper. I don't have any concerns about 736 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 3: the offense. I think the offense will be just fine. 737 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 3: Will the running game is a little bit of a concern, 738 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 3: and I'd. 739 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: Say, you haven't seen Vane Williams. I've been concerned on 740 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 1: that all year. I'm not concerned the passing game. 741 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 3: I'm fine because but I think the passing games will 742 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 3: open up the run game. It's kind of vice versa 743 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 3: than what we've always thought. 744 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 5: But I think in the chemistry the offensive line, you 745 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,439 Speaker 5: haven't necessarily seen that yet. 746 00:35:58,719 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: At full force. 747 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 3: There's gonna be some learning curve, absolutely, but I'm not 748 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 3: totally worried about the offense. However, No, yeah, when we 749 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 3: come back, Yeah, I am a little worried about the defense. 750 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: Let's talk about it when we come back with more 751 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: talking cowboys. 752 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 9: Right after this, AT and T has a new guarantee. 753 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 9: Because most things in life are not guaranteed, like getting 754 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 9: through self checkout. 755 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 6: By yourself warning, each item must be placed in the 756 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 6: bagging area, not guarantee.

Cowboys Defense versus Philadelphia, and then we've got 799 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 3: our pick them just for this game to day.

But what position group will be challenged the 802 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 3: most by this Philadelphia offense? 803 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,479 Speaker 1: Because they can win in a number of different, number 804 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 1: of different ways. Answer, just them, all of them, all 805 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,880 Speaker 1: of them think about it. I mean they, I mean 806 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: it goes without saying Sakwon Barkley can do Saquon Barkley 807 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 1: things in that offensive line. See if Landon Dickerson, which, 808 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,840 Speaker 1: by the way, injury update, Landar Dickerson did not practice yesterday, 809 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: so we'll see if he takes the field. He was 810 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,240 Speaker 1: kind of a similar timeline of GUEI yes, I remember 811 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: correctly where they fought, almost quite literally, they thought it 812 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 1: was going to be a season ender. 813 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 3: He gets carted off during an open practice at Lincoln Financial. 814 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,320 Speaker 3: People are saying it's the end of his season, and 815 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 3: then all of a sudden it comes back. 816 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 1: It's like four to five weeks. Yes, there's a chance 817 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: he misses the game, but I mean Sakwon Barkley is 818 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: going to do his thing with or without Landon Dickerson. Obviously, 819 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 1: without Landon Dickerson they take a slight step back, but 820 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: offensive line still one of the best in the league. 821 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:40,319 Speaker 1: And then aj Brown, DeVante Smith, Dallas Goddard. Yeah, those 822 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 1: guys are kind of good at what they do. 823 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,360 Speaker 5: The secondary is a big question mark for me. I mean, 824 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 5: if you're looking at Trayvon Diggs, who hasn't necessarily played 825 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 5: in a while coming back from injury, and you look 826 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 5: at dron Bland, who had a bad offseason, he got 827 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 5: his contractstention, so I mean he's he had a down year, 828 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 5: let's say. 829 00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 1: I mean he lost almost half the season exactly. 830 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 5: And then you're looking at it guy like kyer Elam 831 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,479 Speaker 5: who has been, for me, like the best defensive player 832 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 5: you've had since OTAs. 833 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, just amazing. I don't see who could argue that 834 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 1: he needs to be that dude on Thursdays. He needs 835 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 1: to be that dude I put that. We've seen I 836 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 1: pretty yer above Maris. 837 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:24,240 Speaker 5: But speaking of Mares, is he going to spy Jordan 838 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 5: Jalen Hurts all game? 839 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 3: Like? 840 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 1: Are we going to have a spy for Jalen Hurt? 841 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 1: That's a good question. 842 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 3: I know in Isaiah in the past you've said you 843 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 3: don't want to spy Jalen Hurts because they can hurt 844 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 3: you in different ways. 845 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, last year, if you go back to the 846 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: first game of last year, Dallas actually did a pretty 847 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,760 Speaker 1: good job up front of kind of keeping him contained 848 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: for the most part, but then he got out right 849 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: when when he got out of the pocket, if he 850 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,560 Speaker 1: was able to escape because the Marvin Overstaan was on 851 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 1: his tail in that game, once he got out, there 852 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 1: was nobody responsible for him. So like his his ability 853 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 1: to extend drives with his legs and getting out the pocket, 854 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: like that killed Dallas in that first game. It really did. Yeah, 855 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,399 Speaker 1: So I mean, I'm not a big fan of using 856 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 1: somebody to spying because they have so many other weapons. 857 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: Whenever you spy, you're taking that person out away from 858 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 1: a coverage. But at the same time, if he's able 859 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: to escape the pocket some way, if you're not able 860 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 1: to collapse that pocket and not allow him out, if 861 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 1: he does get out, then he'll hurt you. But I 862 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 1: will say I do think Marris is going to impact 863 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: this game in a major way. I think the linebackers 864 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,280 Speaker 1: are really going to be featured heavily in the outcome 865 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 1: of this game as far as Cowboys linebackers are concerned. 866 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,840 Speaker 1: Because Cowboys are still trying to figure out the defensive interior. 867 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: They need to figure out what the post Micah era 868 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 1: looks like as far as rotation on the ends. So 869 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 1: it looks like Dante's going to get the start. Sam 870 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 1: Williams going to get the start opposite Dante Williams, and 871 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: then of course you have Esroko and Kneeling. Those young 872 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: guys will come in and hopefully they can those that 873 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 1: four pack, which is a mix of proven ability in 874 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 1: Dante and very high ceilings and the three young guys 875 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,839 Speaker 1: I just talked about. I'm calm fitting in those guys 876 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 1: and they can kind of get off the ends. But 877 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 1: that defensive tackle position is Kenny Clark going to hit 878 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,280 Speaker 1: the ground immediately for the Cowboys. I'm confident OsO Diggi 879 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 1: Zula and I love what Solomon Thomas has been in 880 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 1: training camp. Looks like he under my Matt Eberflus, looks 881 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: like he's ready to cook. But that nose tackle position 882 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,440 Speaker 1: has me a little bit nervous until I see what 883 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: Kenny Clark looks like in the mix. So that means 884 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,720 Speaker 1: the linebackers are going to play a huge part. Marist 885 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,879 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna eat well. Kenneth Murray will see 886 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 1: what Jack Sambourne can do. And Damone Clark. Don't don't 887 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 1: go sleeping on Damon. He has He's coming off the 888 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 1: best offseason of his career. 889 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 5: One of those things that, at least defensive wise, that 890 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,239 Speaker 5: concerns me is Sam Williams starting at edge. To me, 891 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 5: I mean, it's been a while since we've seen Sam 892 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 5: Williams play, and when he did, he was getting a 893 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,399 Speaker 5: lot of flags. It was very undisciplined for He talked 894 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,959 Speaker 5: about it. He talked about it yesterday, and you hope 895 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 5: that the maturing process has begun and you know it's 896 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,800 Speaker 5: set here with him now. I'm concerned that something like 897 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 5: that might creep up. I'm concerned it might not be 898 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 5: a clean game. I'm concerned of the flags that have 899 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 5: sort of alienated the Dallas Cowboys amongst other teams in 900 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,759 Speaker 5: the NFL over the past few seasons. I mean, for 901 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,719 Speaker 5: as long as I've been watching him, the flags have 902 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 5: been an issue. So it's concerning there. The start for 903 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,880 Speaker 5: him is huge. I hope he's able to capitalize and 904 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 5: keep that spot. 905 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:17,200 Speaker 1: I think that really quickly. On the penalty point, I 906 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 1: find it refreshing that Sam, when I was speaking to 907 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: him yesterday in the locker room, that he proactively mentioned 908 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 1: penalties on himself. So I asked him, I said, hey, 909 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,239 Speaker 1: you know, it's been eighteen plus months since you've taken 910 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: the field. How hungry just to describe your hungry. How 911 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: hungry are you? He said? Very? But I'm being patient 912 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 1: because if I allow myself to get too hungry or 913 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,919 Speaker 1: to get too anxious about it his words, he said, 914 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 1: that's when Sam starts getting penalties. He's very self aware now, 915 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,759 Speaker 1: more so than he's ever been in that capacity. So 916 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,840 Speaker 1: I would like to see it translate into lack of flags. 917 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,239 Speaker 1: But the first step is to be aware, and it 918 00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,239 Speaker 1: sounds like he's very aware of I'm concerning about the 919 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 1: D line as a whole. As a whole, I'm not. 920 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 1: I'm there too. I'm not confident in the I think 921 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 1: you need one more piece in the interior defensive line. 922 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 1: You he made a huge stride forward, obviously by bringing Canny, 923 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: but but then that's a step back at your edge, 924 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: rushers your edge. I'm not. I'm not very confident in 925 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 1: the edges in terms of run stopping ability. Oh okay, 926 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 1: I was going to say, I think they'll get after 927 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 1: him just fine, But I don't think it will be 928 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,319 Speaker 1: the same though, So the reason and it the same, 929 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,800 Speaker 1: that's the same. I'm not. I'm not making that comparison 930 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,480 Speaker 1: at all. I'm just I'm I am on a wait 931 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,279 Speaker 1: and see with Sam Williams. I from what I've seen 932 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,799 Speaker 1: from Sam Williams, his PAD level is way too high. 933 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,879 Speaker 1: I'm not convincing his variety and his ability to pass rush. 934 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 1: I'm just not. I hope, I hope, but you know, 935 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 1: we say it all the time. Hope is not a strategy. 936 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,600 Speaker 1: But I have not personally seen enough from Sam Williams 937 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 1: to feel comfortable and confident that he's going to make 938 00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,280 Speaker 1: an impact. That's how I to with Marshaw Kneeland. Marshaan 939 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 1: Kneeland to me, Marshaon Kneeland to me, as an interior 940 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,920 Speaker 1: D lineman, that's just undersize. That's what he is to me. 941 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,879 Speaker 1: That's what he's been since he's gotten here. I've said it, Yeah, 942 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 1: but he's an undersized interior D lineman. It could they 943 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,880 Speaker 1: call him a d n all day long. He's not 944 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,360 Speaker 1: a pass rushing d n ye, So you know he 945 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,640 Speaker 1: is though, he's a run stopping d well. That's what 946 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 1: he's supposed to, That's what's supposed to be. He hasn't 947 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,879 Speaker 1: been that. So as you're concerned about the edges being yeah, 948 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,480 Speaker 1: Kneeland is one of the best of that four pack, 949 00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 1: and I think we're gonna see more three four than 950 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 1: we than we expect. I really think that was a 951 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,320 Speaker 1: huge reason why Kenny Clark was such a huge addition. 952 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 1: I think adding him, now you have a true nose, right, 953 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,080 Speaker 1: you have a true multiple and now right your your 954 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:41,279 Speaker 1: deepest room to me, right now is a surprisingly linebacker. Right, 955 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,280 Speaker 1: so prosely, now after the trade, right, you're this surprisingly linebacker. 956 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 1: So now that's your deepest room, and that's where you 957 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,479 Speaker 1: have the most guys that can play. Then Kenny Clark 958 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 1: knows also tackle. Solomon Thomas tackle, and you have two 959 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 1: stand up ends you could put. You could put Dante 960 00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,719 Speaker 1: Feller Junior, you could put Aery, put Sam Williams, or 961 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:01,920 Speaker 1: you can put you know whoever. 962 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,000 Speaker 5: I was gonna ask you about that. Do you think 963 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,120 Speaker 5: he's gonna provide more for you than Sam Williams. 964 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:08,800 Speaker 1: Yes, in past rushing ability. 965 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 8: Yes. 966 00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 1: I think It's gonna take a while for him to 967 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:10,839 Speaker 1: get going. 968 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's gonna have his and that's probably why he's 969 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:12,839 Speaker 5: not starting. 970 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:14,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna have to learn. But I think that 971 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,720 Speaker 1: his ceiling is substantially higher than no shot at Nyland. 972 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,319 Speaker 1: I just think that he's a more I think he's 973 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,080 Speaker 1: more athletic. That's just call it what it is. That 974 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,279 Speaker 1: first step is insane. There's not there's not one thing 975 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,480 Speaker 1: that I point. So when I look at impact players, 976 00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:27,800 Speaker 1: I look, I say, hey, what's the one thing that 977 00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:29,920 Speaker 1: I that I feel fully confident that you can go 978 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 1: be pretty dominant at no matter who you line up against? Right? 979 00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,280 Speaker 1: And I don't know what that is for Sam Williams, 980 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:36,880 Speaker 1: And I don't know what that is for Marshawn Neland 981 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,759 Speaker 1: that's fair because the only one that's proven in that 982 00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 1: four pack is Dante Felt. Yeah, yeah, Dante Falla, Go 983 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 1: get quarterback, Go get QB. So you know that, right, 984 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,359 Speaker 1: go get after it. But like when you go down 985 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,840 Speaker 1: the line, what are the things like Son and Thomas 986 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,680 Speaker 1: also DIGGI zu, both of you guys are pretty much 987 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 1: the same guy. Go get vertical right holding the fourth 988 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,480 Speaker 1: don't necessarily know that, but you guys can get in 989 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,080 Speaker 1: the seams and get vertical and create some some internal pressure, 990 00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:59,239 Speaker 1: go all the way across the line. And so what's 991 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,239 Speaker 1: your one thing that you do? What's how can you 992 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,279 Speaker 1: impact us tremendously on this game? I'm not sure that 993 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 1: you can circle that for every player on that front. 994 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:11,520 Speaker 3: Seven Yet, Yeah, time to pick who do you feel 995 00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:17,320 Speaker 3: like is gonna win Week one against the Dallas Cowboys 996 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 3: in the Philadelphia Eagles. 997 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying it very subdued here because I feel like 998 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:23,360 Speaker 1: it's gonna. 999 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 3: Be a tough one either way. We're gonna come back 1000 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 3: on Friday and the Cowboys are either gonna win the 1001 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,279 Speaker 3: super Bowl or they're gonna be seven. 1002 00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,359 Speaker 1: There's one of the other. Got there one more fun 1003 00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 1: fact out there that we're not talking about enough, right there? 1004 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,319 Speaker 1: All right, this offense has a new play caller. Yep, 1005 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,719 Speaker 1: Kevin Patulo. Okay, I don't know if that's how to 1006 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,640 Speaker 1: pronounce it, but Kevin Patulo higher or how you want 1007 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,000 Speaker 1: to say it. Anyways, this is a sixth center. This 1008 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,400 Speaker 1: is a sixth play caller in six consecutive years. And 1009 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,080 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts His ear hasn't been a problem yet though 1010 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:57,440 Speaker 1: not yet. But this dude has never called plays. He's 1011 00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,360 Speaker 1: never called play So that that's a portion of this 1012 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,040 Speaker 1: game that you have to take into consideration because he 1013 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,560 Speaker 1: is going to try to now imitate what he has 1014 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,920 Speaker 1: seen before. Right, He's either a gonna try to put 1015 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,839 Speaker 1: his own flare on it, or he'd be gonna try 1016 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 1: to imitate what Kellen Moore did previously. You have to 1017 00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 1: he has to figure out who he is and what 1018 00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,600 Speaker 1: what they are as an offense. There. I would imagine 1019 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,279 Speaker 1: he's going to try his best to imitate because you 1020 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,680 Speaker 1: don't want to mess up that formula that they had. 1021 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 1: But that's something to pay attention to as the game 1022 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,640 Speaker 1: goes on as well, because if there is some high 1023 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,400 Speaker 1: level competition early and they're not being dominant like they 1024 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,440 Speaker 1: probably assumed that they would be, then what does that 1025 00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,080 Speaker 1: oc start to do? What does he do? 1026 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:38,279 Speaker 3: What? 1027 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,880 Speaker 1: What bag does he does? He going to the Kellen 1028 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,120 Speaker 1: Moore bag and say, well, Kellen Moore would do this. 1029 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,080 Speaker 1: He says, no, screw this, this is my offense. Now 1030 00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,359 Speaker 1: what we're doing something to watch? I'll jump off. I'll 1031 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 1: jump off the porch with it. Man, this this is 1032 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,480 Speaker 1: going to be It's gonna be a dog fight. I'm 1033 00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,080 Speaker 1: seeing a lot of you know, the Eagles are going 1034 00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 1: to basically walk the Cowboys out of the state. I 1035 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,680 Speaker 1: don't feel like that's going to be the case, especially 1036 00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,759 Speaker 1: when you look at the Cowboys offense and we talk 1037 00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:09,080 Speaker 1: about that versus the secondary in Philly, and yeah, you 1038 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: have some issues with Saquan and aj and Davante and Jalen. Yeah, 1039 00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,000 Speaker 1: but I think that this offense just absolutely finds a 1040 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,640 Speaker 1: way to exploit the secondary. I don't think it's going 1041 00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:21,400 Speaker 1: to be an explosive game, but I think it'll have 1042 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,480 Speaker 1: explosive plays for the Cowboys. I think Cowboys finished with 1043 00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:28,759 Speaker 1: twenty seven points and I think they win on the 1044 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 1: leg of Brandon Aubrey. I think twenty seven to twenty 1045 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,840 Speaker 1: four and it goes to the wire sixty four. So 1046 00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:40,760 Speaker 1: you're picking the coutek one. Yeah, that's true, but hopefully 1047 00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,359 Speaker 1: not because if you depending on the sixty four yarder 1048 00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,320 Speaker 1: to win the game means you didn't move the balls 1049 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,759 Speaker 1: easy down the field. It's easy money, but don't look 1050 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,279 Speaker 1: easier money forty thirty, you know what I mean. So, yeah, 1051 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,160 Speaker 1: I think Brandon Aubrey gets you this game at the 1052 00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,399 Speaker 1: at the buzzer quickly because we have to go yep. 1053 00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:02,439 Speaker 5: I'm going to say Dallas twenty Philadelphia twenty three. 1054 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:06,280 Speaker 1: Wow, So we're picking to win two Cowboys. 1055 00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,880 Speaker 3: I see this game almost like what Baltimore was last year. 1056 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,320 Speaker 3: You remember that Week three match up against Baltimore. It 1057 00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,120 Speaker 3: was it was at home, but going into it, Dallas 1058 00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:19,240 Speaker 3: was not playing well. They had just gotten their doors 1059 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,719 Speaker 3: blown off by New Orleans and Baltimore was was trying 1060 00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,040 Speaker 3: to figure their things out. But they were the better 1061 00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,439 Speaker 3: team across the board, and I thought they were gonna 1062 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 3: get run out of the gym, and they didn't. 1063 00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:31,000 Speaker 1: They fought back. 1064 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:32,800 Speaker 3: It was twenty five to twenty two as the final. 1065 00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:34,880 Speaker 3: They just fought and fought and fought, and they were 1066 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,000 Speaker 3: never really out of it. I think that's gonna be 1067 00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,279 Speaker 3: the case this time. I think they're gonna be right there. 1068 00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,440 Speaker 3: They need to make one or two big plays, but 1069 00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,200 Speaker 3: they just probably won't get it. In Week one, I 1070 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,399 Speaker 3: think they fall thirty four to thirty one. 1071 00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:47,880 Speaker 1: On the road. That's a lot of points. 1072 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:49,719 Speaker 3: Well, I do think it's gonna be a lot of Again, 1073 00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,920 Speaker 3: here we are. I think I think the offense is 1074 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,719 Speaker 3: going to click. Yeah, I think the offense is gonna click. 1075 00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:56,600 Speaker 3: I think Philadelphia is just gonna click a little bit 1076 00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:58,000 Speaker 3: more interesting. 1077 00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,040 Speaker 1: I don't know who the Cowboys are yet, that's fair. 1078 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,880 Speaker 1: I know who the Eagles are. Fair. There are a 1079 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:06,600 Speaker 1: number of players that we have to see. Who are 1080 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,720 Speaker 1: you going to be your impact players, specifically on defense, 1081 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,319 Speaker 1: and until we have that answer, I have to give 1082 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,520 Speaker 1: the nod to Philadelphia for that reason. I think it's 1083 00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:19,759 Speaker 1: gonna be twenty seven to twenty one Philly, And just 1084 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,759 Speaker 1: because I know who their guys are, we're sitting here 1085 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,680 Speaker 1: with question marks over our head in terms of who 1086 00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,360 Speaker 1: those guys are. For Dallas, Pickens gets at least one touchdown, 1087 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:28,840 Speaker 1: and I think he's going to be one of the 1088 00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,399 Speaker 1: huge determined effectors in the Cowboys getting us. 1089 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,680 Speaker 3: Hopefully so hopefully so either way, we're gonna be back 1090 00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:35,600 Speaker 3: on Friday to break it down, win or lose for 1091 00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,120 Speaker 3: you here on Talking Cowboys.
