Yes, 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.400 always hot fire, and yes a little bit cocky, but 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:21.119 that's okay. Rob Phillips, Heck Harrison, the Great, Isaiah stand Back, 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.920 I'm Kyle Yeoman's and gentleman, it's Thursday, which means we're 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.399 a day away from saying saying it with our chest 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.319 on say it with your chest Friday. But I have 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:32.960 an interesting hypothetical for you guys, and we're gonna start 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:34.959 the show with this, which is a little bit different. Normally, 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.600 we go into injury reports and we kind of update 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.680 the team and update what's going on. We'll talk about 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:42.720 that coming up in a second, but I sent out 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.560 this hypothetical on Twitter yesterday based off of events in 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.000 New York. And I know, Heck, you're you're a big 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.520 fighting guy. You're a big boxing fan. Rob you you 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:54.920 like that as well. Isaiah. I haven't really had that 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.360 conversation with you, but I think you're pretty good. I'm 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:01.560 looking forward to the tight. Okay, so we're three for 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:05.200 three here based on events that happened in New York. 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.400 Of course, for those that don't know, the facts are 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:10.760 is that Mark Colombo, former coach here at the Dallas 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:15.720 Cowboys and offensive line coach with the Giants, was fired yesterday. 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:21.160 That's the facts. But now there's some rumors that circled 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.720 yesterday at least, and some of them have been debunked, 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.120 but it raised this question, but that he had gotten 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.880 into an altercation with the head coach, Joe Judge. Now 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:34.360 my question is is if this coaching staff that the 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.120 Dallas Cowboys have right now had gotten into let's say 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:44.120 a UFC style boxing battle royale type thing, who would 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.440 come out on top. That's my question to start talking 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:51.639 cowboys on a Thursday. Yeah, we're starting the show act. Yes, 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.560 this is how we're starting at hack and if you 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.560 want to go first, you can. But Rob had a 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.800 little heads up because we talked about it yesterday. But 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.280 Rob could probably start us off with who he things 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:04.919 could come out on top. Uh. Can I just say, 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.320 first of all, I wouldn't fight Mark Colombo if you 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.400 paid me. I don't know. Six g seven geez, Isaiah. 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.320 He's a lot lighter than he used to be, though, Rob, 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.120 I think I got you know, you got a chance. 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.680 He's still six eight and you can't teach that. So 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.200 I don't teach that. I can't. I can't go there. 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.680 But okay, I'll play along with you. Kyle. I'm going 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.920 to Jim tom Sula, Baby, Jim tom Sula. I know 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.200 he's not the tallest guy on the coaching staff. And 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:33.880 this is kind of a tough question because we haven't 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.920 been around the coaches really at all this year. Uh, 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.000 but d line coaches, to me are among the most 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:44.520 intimidating people on the planet. And uh, he's a great guy, 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.280 but I wouldn't want to make him angry, just like 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.560 I wouldn't want to make Rod Marinelli angry back in 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:53.840 the day. So I'll go with mister Tom Sulam say, 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.520 that's a that's a good pick. He took that one 0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:00.240 away from me. Robbins. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.480 I'm hey, I'm gonna stand that same vein. Now I 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.920 know that big Cat leon letstill on staff, So I'm 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.160 going with big Cat. Like you said, you k teach height. 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.280 I think cat six seven, So there you go, and 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.200 he'll have to reach on most of us, So that 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.080 is I'm gonna cat. Yeah, I think you went there. Yeah, 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.160 that's pretty Are we going? Are we going like any 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:24.760 coach on the staff? On the staff, any coach? I 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.680 am going to go with coach McCarthy. WHOA, I'm going 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.239 to coach McCarthy. Coach McCarthy looks like he will wrestle 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.120 the crap out of you. And he literally he put 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.440 like a big thing of true and cook that being 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.360 in his lip and like huge, like let's go. Yeah, 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.200 I can just see that, right. He probably got cauliflower 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.040 ere he's been hiding with the masks and stuff. I 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:50.000 don't know, but I'm going with coach McCarthy. He's got califlower. Yeah. Well, 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.440 then you also got McCarthy. I mean his backgrounds from 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.200 Pittsburgh and they know how to they know how to 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.240 fight up in Pittsburgh. They'll come tough out of that 0:04:56.279 --> 0:05:00.480 region of the country. So you know what, Yeah, never 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.320 my good. Oh, I don't know. I don't even want 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.520 to know where you're going with that. But coach McCarthy 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:07.960 doesn't have a neck, man, you don't want to wrestle 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.240 nobody who doesn't have a neck. That's like a Brahma 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:14.560 bull man. You have a chance. I like, listen, hear 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.880 me out here, though, John Fossil and I somebody threw 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:22.000 this out yesterday and Chris even talked about it yesterday. 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.159 But the trickery that's involved there, he would pull something 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:26.919 out of the hat. He'd pull something out of the 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.240 hat to win that fight and come out on top. 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.400 So I would say, how about John Fossil there for 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.320 a little bit of a sneaky pick an underdog. I 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.919 also think Doug nuss Meyer would do well in a 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.760 in a ring like that. I think he's quick, he's agile, 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.080 he's still in shape, and if quarterbacks coach, he's got 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:46.080 the headspace to come through. So I think nuss Meyer 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.279 would have a pretty good look at it. But O 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:53.280 fun Wester backup. Okay, I'm gonna skip people would be 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.560 my backup because that's that's my guy and I know 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:57.720 him personally, and Skip Peep got some hood in him. 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.240 So you don't want to mess with a hood cat. 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:00.680 You don't want it. You don't mess with a Brahma 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:02.320 bull like coach McCarthy. You don't want to mess with 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.720 a hood cat like Coach Pete. I'm just saying those 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:06.600 are those are my two ringers right there. Who's the 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:12.400 first one out of the ring? Who's the first out? 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:17.520 That's a good question. I don't know. Man, We got coach, 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:23.080 we playing coaches against each other right now? What that's like? Yeah, 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.800 you're leading me down to the principal's office hallway right now. 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.040 I don't want to go there. I'm not going. Do 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.440 you guys know that I'm the most glucking person to 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:36.200 go through the principal see that already, thank you? Uh so, Kyle, 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:37.760 Kyle is trying to set up scenario where we set 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.160 up two coaches and we put them on rock Pee Island, right, 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:41.840 and then they got they got at a Risto to 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:45.880 get off the island. Fight Island. Yes, p fight Island. 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.640 I love that, okay, But I would say Callen Moore 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:50.840 is the first one out just in my personal and 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.600 my personal thought process. Anyway, I just go for it. 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.920 Can I just say real quick, that's for Colombo, for 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.880 for Mark, I mean Isaiah played with him, We've been 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.880 around him. That's it's that's tough news, you know, And 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:06.600 it's kind of it was strange to hear coming out 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.760 of New York, just because you know, they've got some 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:10.720 young guys on their offensive line. But they were they're 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.880 playing better. I mean, they've got three wins this year. 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:14.600 They're doing pretty well. So that was kind of odd 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.680 to see. Um. But I like the way you're thinking, Kyle. 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.640 I like it. I like it, but Rob it is 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.600 not surprising. It's not surprising because I know I know 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.160 Colombo's character and Colombo's he's not no punk, right, And 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.960 unfortunately in this league, you deal with a lot of 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:34.440 grown men, right that are carrying a lot of little 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.960 boy characteristics when it comes to the coaches in this league. 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.200 And I'm not speaking to any to one particular coach, 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.040 I'm talking about this. It's a reoccurring trait word. You know, 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.400 things that people had whenever when they were younger. If 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.280 they haven't dealt with those things by the time they're adults, 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.000 just because they're adults and something that they're gonna handle 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:51.880 situations any better. So and you know it, terms of 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:53.720 people trying to be bullies, in terms of people trying 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.320 to use their authoritative power over people and speak down 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.320 to people and things of that nature, it happens a 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.400 lot in this league. It happens a lot. And sometimes 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.280 when you stay in your ground and you don't put 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.000 up with it and you don't allow somebody to punk you, 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:06.560 a lot of times they just try to get rid 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:08.880 of you because now you've challenged your authority in a 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:12.200 in a sort right. So knowing Colombo, when I read 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:13.960 when I read the article, I can imagine that coach 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.400 probably trying to say something crazy out of sort to Colombo, 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.880 Colombo being like, who the heck are you? You know, 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:28.760 so it makes sense anything Columbus, no Columbus, no part. 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:33.000 I can tell you that. Right now we're talking about football, man. 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.560 People are getting into it facilities all over America right now. 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:42.240 So I know Colombo is a tough guy. And whatever happened, 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.640 I mean, somebody said to put their words together the 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.559 wrong way or the right way, and Colombo responded to it. 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.360 So this is this is this is the game of football. 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.199 This is where it happens regard I mean, I don't 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.199 know about the psychology of bullying and all of that stuff, 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.000 but you know you'll get hitting the mouth of what 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.600 you say no matter where you are. So kudos to Colombo. 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.640 There are some punks in the league, but Colombo by 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.640 far is not one of those guys. And this is 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.079 not all that and he's going to stand up for himself. So, 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.600 like you said, not surprising, but at the same time, 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.320 it is tough news and we wish him the best 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:15.600 moving forward. He's going to find a job somewhere. He'll 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.480 be just fine. He'll be in the league for a 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:22.800 good amount of time because he's Colombo hit him with them. Now, 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.360 with that being said, we did have some offensive line 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:29.199 news of our own yesterday, Rob for Mike McCarthy. He 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:32.120 mentioned it in his press conference that cut our cut 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:36.080 our show short yesterday, but also uh led into practice. 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:40.319 Brandon Knight was back and practicing yesterday. Is what is 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.600 going on with Brandon Knight and then some of these 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:48.559 other injury updates from yesterday's practice. Yeah, they started the 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.079 twenty one day practice window for night. He was on 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.000 injured reserve. I want to say after the Monday night game. 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.199 Was that the Arizona game. I think he got a 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:59.599 niscope right after that, so he's back. He was on 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.160 the fe field. That's encouraging. I don't know if it's 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:06.080 this week where he could be potentially active, but that's 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.640 good progress. Give you some depth at offensive tackle because 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:11.400 we've talked about that position a lot. Only two guys 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.400 didn't practice yesterday, Tyler Biadesh, of course, with the hamstring injury, 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:16.079 that's going to keep him out a little bit. And 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.920 Randy Gregory was sick yesterday, so that's about it. Zack 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:23.000 Martin was limited, So that's something to kind of keep 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.600 an eye on. But I'm sure I would imagine they're 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.360 trying to manage him and get him to Sunday. He 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.680 was doing some some core to work with the athletic 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:34.000 training staff and just trying to get himself loosened out 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.760 before he practiced. So the best thing I saw in 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.560 there was Zeke had a full practice and said told 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.920 us after practice that he felt better this week than 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.240 he did the week at the Steelers game. So for 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.880 a matchup that we're going to get into this today, 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.960 for this week with Minnesota, that's huge. That's huge if 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.360 you've got a closer to healthy Zeke. And whenever it 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.400 comes to Zack Martin and kind of a lingering issue there, 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:01.520 like you said, it's not necessarily anything to be really 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.920 upset about. I mean, you're coming off of a bye week, 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.400 so it might have been something that it was a 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.800 right right place, right time, and just not as big 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.079 of an issue as normally it would be. But whenever 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.240 it comes to him being on cords, Isaiah, does that 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.800 worry you at all? From Zach Martin just being the 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:23.240 cornerstone of that offensive line, it was a corner storm. Okay, 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.679 we brought that back out. No, I'm not at all, man, 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:28.160 I mean he's gonna be good. I mean it's the 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:29.959 middle of the season. It's the middle of the season. 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.480 Guys are banged up. Nobody's healthy. I can tell you 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.120 that right now, nobody on this roster is healthy except 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.560 for Razzie Robinson and Bradley and I those are only 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.560 two guys that are probably healthy guys because they haven't 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:44.920 had touch the field. Other than that, many everybody's dealing 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.640 with something and that's just that's just being real. Um. 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:49.920 Sometimes it gets out, you know, to the public, and 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.320 things end up on an injury report. Sometimes they don't 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.120 end up on an injury report. But you know, guys 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.400 are gonna be They're gonna overcome things every single day. 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.920 I'm not worried at all. I'm looking forward to seeing 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.360 these guys continue to get healthier as the season progresses, 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.360 because I think I think they are going to can 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:09.360 just continue to get stronger. Ema. No, you know he 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:11.959 what Isaiah said, It makes sense. I mean, you have 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.520 a veteran guy just you can't give him the day off, 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.040 but still, you know, to give him an opportunity to 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.400 stay in rhythm. These guys have had a bye weekend. 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.600 Like like Isaiah said, no one's healthy at this point 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:27.160 in the season, So it doesn't concern me about Zach Martin. 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.719 What I want to know is, you know, it is 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.760 night ready to go. If there's a situation that happens 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.280 in this game where we have to maybe plug and 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.080 play him on the right side or on the left side, 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.320 can't he go? So that's important with this offensive line 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.720 because we've again we've this has become cliche, the musical chairs, 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.559 and this would be the eleventh combination of guys on 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:51.640 that offensive line. So you know, the getting guy's healthy, 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.160 it's very important. Don't like to hear be honest, I'm 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:57.840 really curious about the sickness of Randy Gregory. I'm I'm 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.400 I'm glad that it's not like a hopefu lea not 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:04.440 COVID related cousin when anytime you see sick, the first 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.000 thing you think is, oh my god, does he have COVID? So, 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.040 knowing how how bad we need him this week, as 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.000 far as applying pressure to Kirk Cousins, is that was 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.840 the one thing that raised our brow exactly. Yeah, I mean, 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.120 if he if it was something like that, he'd be 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.079 on the list, he'd be on the reserve list. So 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:22.719 that's yeah, But that's a good You brought up a 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.840 good point about night. Like we've talked about this old 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.480 line combination over and over again. Like if he was 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:30.240 if he were to be healthy and ready to go 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:31.800 this week and have a good week of practice or 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:33.840 maybe next week, would you guys like to plug him 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:35.400 in at one of those tackle spots or are we 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.000 at a point where it's like, let's just keep the 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.520 same five if we possibly can for like two weeks 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.160 in a row. Can we can we just do that? 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.559 Just go back and do it? Is important and this 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.599 offensive line, this offensive line needs that, right. But I 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:52.520 think that Brandon Knight before he was injured was man, 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.640 it's kind of hard to say a bright spot, but 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:58.160 he was giving you. He was giving you a lot 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.520 more than say some other names. Right now with Irving, 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.199 you see that. I think he's a lot better in 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.800 the run than he is versus the pass, and just comparable. 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.080 I would like to see, you know, these guys kind 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:11.920 of figure out what we're gonna do with the left tackle, 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:15.000 but we know that we're having big time issues at 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:17.920 the right side, So just being able to have him 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:20.720 for that, I think it's more important. Man, well. And 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:22.400 one of the things in terms of the left side, 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.560 go for it, Isaiah. Now I was gonna say the 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:26.880 left side. I mean some of the films that I've 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.000 been watching, going back to the last few games, Urban's 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.040 been doing good. He's been playing physical, He's been he's 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.960 been popping dues and knocking dues off. I know in 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.400 a film Roo Another Day, Kyle, show the play where 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.400 Scholtzmith's the block. But if you watch that same play 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:42.240 where Schultsmith that block, freaking Irvan freaking just destroyed the 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:44.520 guy right when you it didn't even look like he 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.720 had opportunity to get back into playing. He just knocked 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:47.800 the do it all the way to the ground. So 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:49.960 I think he's bringing some physicality to it. But yeah, 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.200 there last you mentioned, Kyle, that right side we need 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:56.440 some hell well. And what Mike McCarthy said whenever he 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.120 was asked about best five, which is kind of something 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.240 we've talked about over the course of the season, but 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:03.600 whenever he was asked about it, he said, it's not 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:05.960 fantasy football. You can't just mix and match and just 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.680 throw guys out there and into certain positions. But the 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.560 thing is is when Brandon Knight comes back. You've got 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.440 two swing tackles available. You got Cam Irving and you've 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.360 got Brandon Knight. And Brandon Knight and Cam Irving I've 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.520 each played better than what Terren steel has done on 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.040 the right tackle spot. So my question to you guys is, 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.800 and heck, he'll start us off here Cam Irving at 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.920 left tackle or right tackle, and then of course Brandon 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:30.760 Knight would fill in that other hole. Are you more 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:36.200 comfortable with that than what you're working with right now? Yeah, 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:41.520 I'm I'm more comfortable with Tyrn Smith, but I want well, 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:45.600 that's not unfortunately, I think Night right, right, I know right, 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:49.240 I'm just swishing here. I would say Night at the left. 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:51.880 I just felt like Knight gave us a lot more 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.960 before his injury. But in this situation, the continuity, if 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:57.920 these guys are starting to play together, I think the 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:01.840 Steelers game they played a lot better together. But my 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:05.560 question is who's gonna be the quarterback? Because who's the 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.600 quarterback is really gonna help you say, you know, look, 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:10.680 this guy is gonna be a better fit in this 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:15.640 situation because offensively, the last game that we saw against 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:19.240 the Steelers, we had a lot more movement in our offense. 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.520 So look, keeping these same guys together it's very important. 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:24.640 But I want to know who's gonna be the quarterback? Kyle, 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:31.200 It's gonna be Andy Dalton. Oh God, I mean please, 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:35.520 that's that's Please know what that's That's what the decision is. 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:37.800 It's Andy Dalton, that's the quarterback. I mean, that's a 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.080 that's a proven thing. But why why are you saying? 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.720 Please know with Andy Dalton. We've had this conversation I 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.960 feel like six times about Garrett Gilbert or Andy Dalton, 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:54.200 but you're that adamant against Andy Dalton. Hex Ready, Look man, Okay, 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.000 so we this is gonna be the This is gonna 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.480 be the seventh time that we argued it. Right, So yes, 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.760 if we're gonna go with based off of percentage and 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.000 just look looking at the performance we've already said the 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.240 energy and the offense efficiency seemed to be moving a 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.400 lot better with Garret Gilbert. The last time I saw 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.560 Andy Dalton against a defense that was bringing any pressure, 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:18.400 I say, Arizona or Washington football team, it didn't look 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.320 good for him. And Pittsburgh and the defense that they had, 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.360 I mean they were applying pressure for sure, and Garret 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:27.040 Gilbert did a very nice job of getting out of 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.960 the pocket. I mean, we've been on killing Moore about 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:34.119 his offensive strategy over the last just play calling over 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:35.800 the last couple of games. I thought he did a 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.040 better job even though the offense has you know, the 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.439 motions and shifts and things like that he hadn't been 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:43.800 able to do obviously, because he's had a rookie quarterback 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.000 and a guy that hadn't played in a while. But 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.159 I think you see a guy that's getting better if 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.520 the offense is gonna move more efficiently with Andy Dalton, 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:52.440 and you're just gonna have to show me because I don't. 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:54.440 I didn't see it. He hadn't been able to do it. 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.480 And I think g Wagon gave you the best shot. 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:04.320 Oh oh that's me. Um, I like I like, I 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:06.879 like g Wagon, right, I like double G all right, 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.000 G two whatever you want to call him, right, Uh. 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.840 He he did have the energy who was successful. And 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:17.280 I already mentioned that you know this week that I 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.480 think that that would be the decision if I was 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.320 making it, to go with him, because just simply off 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:25.080 a momentum. However, Um, I encourage you, and I encourage 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.280 some other people and everybody else that has questions regarding 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:29.800 Andy Dalton to go back and watch the film room 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:33.160 session from this week, because we addressed at least two 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:36.399 of the six sacks that he experienced in one of 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.920 his most recent games, and a lot of that stuff 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:40.800 was not just falling on him. Now, don't get me wrong, 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:42.200 there's a lot of stuff. He still has to do 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:44.600 a lot better. But when it came down to protections, 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.040 guys just weren't doing their jobs. They were not doing 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:49.960 their assignments and and unfortunately, it looks bad upon just 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:52.600 a quarterback that when those things happen, because it looks 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:54.760 like he's holding the ball, looks like he's not getting 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:56.159 the ball out of his hands. You know, he's not 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:58.440 making good throws all that kind of stuff. So I'm 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:00.600 not I'm not taking I'm not taking it shoulders and 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:02.320 saying that he didn't he needed that. He doesn't need 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:04.800 to play better. He definitely does, but there's a lot 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:06.520 of other elements that were going into that. He did 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:09.120 not have the same offensive line. So we're gonna see, 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:11.679 We're gonna see. I don't I don't disagree with you wholeheartedly, 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:13.920 but we're gonna we're gonna see what it looks like 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:16.680 this weekend. Um, yeah, let's see what it looks like. 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:20.040 Let's let's say this, all right. So Mike Zimmer was 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:25.119 on the staff at Cincinnati, I believe for twenty eleven 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:29.080 to twenty fourteen. Right, he knows Andy Dalton like the 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:32.080 back of his hand. The last time Mike Zimmer saw 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:35.160 Andy Dalton, he beat him like thirty nine to six 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:37.920 or something like that, where Andy Dalton had a twenty 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:42.320 six percent QBR. All right, Mike Zimmer, that's the He 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:45.800 is going to love seeing Andy Dalton at quarterback because 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:49.160 he knows the kind of pressure that he can put 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:51.800 on Andy. I think the one thing that we have 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:55.280 at our disposal is the unknown with Garrey Gilberto that 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:58.879 one game that we've seen him uh be successful in 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:02.200 this offense. Man. That's all I'm I'm weighing this on. 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:04.560 This is the fact that we have history with Mike 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:08.000 Zimmer and Andy Dalton. So do with it. What's your 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:11.200 mother points? Llot point, ballot point, looking forward to the game. 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:14.280 That's a very good point. Two thousand, two thousand and 0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:17.960 eight to twenty thirteen was when Zimmer was the defensive 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:21.400 coordinator with Cincinnati, And like you said, the last time 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:24.520 that they had played was back in twenty seventeen. That's 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:26.480 actually the only time that those two had played where 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:29.480 Mike Zimmer was the head coach, Andy Dalton was the quarterback. 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:33.520 Zimmer won that battle thirty four to seven. Was that 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:38.040 final score. Andy Dalton in that game went eleven of 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:41.680 twenty two for one hundred and thirteen yards, no touchdowns, 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:45.320 and an interception. In that game, his QB rating was 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.560 twenty three seven point three and he was sacked three 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:54.000 times from seven? Did he have aj Green? Man? Now, 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:57.920 you can't roll out so all the numbers you got, 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:03.359 Aj Green was on the field. Yes, he had cj Uzma, Giovanni, Bernard, 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:06.880 AJ Green, Tyler Croft, Brandon LaFell had had his full 0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:09.399 arsenal of guys and he got blanked for seven points 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:14.240 in a couple of picks. Yeah, So I'm just like, 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:17.960 I know Double G played good. I know he did, 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.879 and I know he looked like Joe Montana compared to 0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:22.840 what we saw with the Nucci trying to play his 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:26.479 first start. But are we really just wiping away one 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:29.439 hundred and thirty four's career starts for a guy I mean, 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:31.560 do we just feel it just feel like he can't 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:33.719 play anymore. Like I just I know it didn't look 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:35.960 it against Arizona. But I'm kind of with Isaiah on 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:39.520 this one, Like I'm willing to wipe away that disaster 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:42.920 offensively against Arizona with the turnovers and the fumbles and 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:46.320 the lack of protection. And then you played Washington without 0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:50.200 Zack Martin against five first round picks on the Washington front, 0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:51.960 and if they don't clean it up on Thanksgiving, it'll 0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:55.760 be the same story. But I just think it just 0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:59.280 wasn't a good situation for Andy. Not that it's all 0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:01.560 on everybody else, but you know, if I've got to 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:03.840 pick one guy to go win a game, I'm gonna 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:05.880 go with the more experienced guy. But like Isaiah said, 0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:07.959 we'll see, I mean, we'll see how it goes. At 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:10.160 least they feel like they've got a solid number two 0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:14.119 at this point filling in behind him. That's a good thing. 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:16.200 I mean, it's a good problem to have because, like 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:18.960 we talked about previously, we didn't know what was going 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:21.520 on going into the game against Pittsburgh. Now we know 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:25.560 what we have from all three even maybe four perspectives 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:28.240 of a quarterback if we really needed to come down 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.520 to that, we know what we're dealing with, but it's 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:35.480 a debate that'll ray John until after the Vikings game 0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:37.280 this week. We'll have the short week to talk about 0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:39.879 it next week, So maybe not as much Garrett Gilbert v. 0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:43.960 Dandy Dalton talk as we had this week in last week, 0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:46.560 but still gonna be something we're gonna talk about when 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:49.280 we come back though. Here on talking Cowboys, we got 0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:53.320 to continue breaking down this offense facing this Minnesota defense. 0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:57.000 What does Minnesota bring that the Cowboys have already seen 0:22:57.119 --> 0:22:58.879 the last three weeks. We'll tell you when we come 0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:03.920 back right after this.

I kind of like it. 0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:31.480 Like that, it's got that catchy ring to it. The 0:25:31.600 --> 0:25:33.920 Seymour Do More or I like it every week and 0:25:34.000 --> 0:25:36.440 Isaiah likes it too because he echoes it every single 0:25:36.560 --> 0:25:39.080 time on camera. He doesn't do it audibly. For those 0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:42.840 of you listening, on iTunes unfortunately. But anyways, heck Ma 0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:46.240 Harrison and Rob Phillips I stand back up Kyle Yeoman's 0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:49.480 and today, of course, being Thursday, we're breaking down the 0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:53.600 Cowboys offense versus the opponent defense, and of course the 0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:57.399 opponent this week is the Minnesota Vikings. And guys, I 0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:01.000 want to ask this question because last Sweet Minnesota on 0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:05.959 Monday Night football held Chicago to forty six yards total rushing, 0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:10.760 really kind of blank them all together. I mean, Chicago 0:26:11.040 --> 0:26:13.880 didn't actually hit two hundred yards in that football game 0:26:13.920 --> 0:26:16.840 and only had a couple of field goals to show 0:26:16.920 --> 0:26:20.520 for it. However, this is a defense that doesn't scare 0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:23.560 me as much watching it on film. Looking at the stats, 0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:28.000 this defense doesn't scared me nearly as much as what Washington, 0:26:28.560 --> 0:26:33.560 Philly and even Pittsburgh. Of course, Pittsburgh ad showed you defensively, 0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:36.040 just based off of the front seven. But am I 0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:38.880 wrong in thinking that this might be the weakest front 0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:42.560 seven the Cowboys have seen, maybe since Week five of 0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:46.680 the season when we played the Giants. Isaiah No, I 0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:49.720 think you're right in saying that. The thing about Minnesota 0:26:49.720 --> 0:26:52.160 and Minnesota's being consistent for a very long time, all 0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:53.879 the way back to when I play this is a 0:26:53.960 --> 0:26:56.879 too high team. They want to play too high, and 0:26:57.160 --> 0:26:59.560 they've always entrusted in their front seven. They've always had 0:26:59.600 --> 0:27:02.119 solid linebackers and they still do now. They've always had 0:27:02.160 --> 0:27:05.280 sign of linebackers, but they always relied heavily under defensive 0:27:05.280 --> 0:27:07.320 alignment to apply pressure because they don't want to go 0:27:07.440 --> 0:27:09.160 single high. They don't want to come up and play 0:27:09.160 --> 0:27:10.920 you man to man. They want to sit back, have 0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:13.200 a two shell over the top and make you work 0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:15.720 your way down the field and let them apply pressure 0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:18.119 with their front four and the Unfortunately, this front four 0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:20.959 is just not applying that pressure. Like I said, if 0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:22.240 you get up to the second level, you got to 0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:25.600 do a big Kendricks and company. But you're absolutely correct 0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:27.440 in saying that this D line does not have the 0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:30.399 same presence, nor are they as much of a threat 0:27:31.000 --> 0:27:38.680 as the D lines we faced so far this year. Rob. Yeah, No, 0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:41.399 I agree. I agree. I think when you watch them 0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:45.040 play against Chicago, as they mentioned, the too high, they 0:27:45.080 --> 0:27:46.879 did play too deep, and a lot of that is 0:27:46.920 --> 0:27:50.040 because they're they're young. They're young, they're they're missing some 0:27:50.240 --> 0:27:51.960 key eyes on defense this year. They don't have the 0:27:52.000 --> 0:27:53.879 Kneil Hunter up front. No, I don't think they have 0:27:53.920 --> 0:27:56.399 a bar and so, and they've got a couple of 0:27:56.480 --> 0:27:58.480 rookie corners back there. And I think Dancer didn't play 0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:00.880 in that game, so he was back to practice this week. 0:28:01.280 --> 0:28:04.080 So with young corners, you're trying to protect them and 0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:07.320 like Asaiah said, you know, you know, don't give anything 0:28:07.359 --> 0:28:10.480 away deep make them drive the field. That does you 0:28:10.520 --> 0:28:14.120 would think open up some running opportunities for the Cowboys, 0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:16.680 you know, when you're not if Zeke's not facing those 0:28:16.800 --> 0:28:19.320 those boxes with seven eight man fronts all the time, 0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:22.040 maybe there's an opportunity to do that. Now, Maybe maybe 0:28:22.160 --> 0:28:25.200 Zim changes it up because he knows, with you know, 0:28:25.400 --> 0:28:27.520 compromised up front, they've got to be able to run 0:28:27.560 --> 0:28:30.600 the football. Dallas does to have success. But I think 0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:33.159 matchup wise, there could be some opportunities. And hey, the 0:28:33.200 --> 0:28:36.200 Cowboys have struggled offensively, but I think they've topped you know, 0:28:36.240 --> 0:28:37.840 I think like one hundred and thirty yards the last 0:28:37.880 --> 0:28:41.600 couple of games. Maybe they can build on that. I 0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:44.840 think for me, it's it's gonna be the Mike Zimmer, 0:28:44.920 --> 0:28:48.720 I mean, Cowboy great defensive coordinator. He does a really 0:28:48.800 --> 0:28:51.640 good job of dalling it up for his defense, and 0:28:51.680 --> 0:28:54.240 these guys play really well together. I mean, when Kyle 0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:56.720 you say you look at the tape and nothing about 0:28:56.760 --> 0:28:59.479 them scares you, then I'll go with that. But at 0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:02.400 the same time, they still have Harrison Smith and guys 0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:05.160 like Hendricks and Wilson. They look, they're going to present 0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:08.400 a problem defensively as far as the way that they 0:29:08.480 --> 0:29:11.200 pressure the line of scrimmage. They know that their best 0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:14.240 shot is stopping the Cowboys is obviously making sure that 0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:20.280 Zeke doesn't get going early, so that whole loading up 0:29:20.320 --> 0:29:22.760 the box that is what Zimmer is definitely gonna do 0:29:23.280 --> 0:29:26.400 to alleviate any of that. So, look, I'm looking at 0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:30.160 this scheme and just realizing that for the Dallas Cowboys offense, 0:29:30.320 --> 0:29:33.600 you're gonna have to get some of your playmakers involved. 0:29:33.640 --> 0:29:36.200 I mean, I want to see Amari Cooper actually make 0:29:36.280 --> 0:29:40.000 a play, stretch the field, do something with the secondary 0:29:40.120 --> 0:29:44.440 that is decimated well by injuries, and they have rookie guys. 0:29:44.560 --> 0:29:47.040 So the only way that we have any success is 0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:50.240 that you know, one Zeke brings his hard hat and 0:29:50.640 --> 0:29:53.440 collects those really tough yards that you know the Vikings 0:29:53.440 --> 0:29:56.360 are going to be against him on but also if 0:29:56.440 --> 0:29:58.800 Andy Dalton is the quarterback, well he is the quarterback 0:29:58.880 --> 0:30:00.320 that he gets the ball out of it his hand 0:30:00.400 --> 0:30:02.920 quickly and get it to a playmakers so that they 0:30:02.960 --> 0:30:05.160 could do something. I mean, this offense, our receiver has 0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:07.680 just hadn't been given us much and it's been because 0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:11.880 they hadn't had the quarterback there to supply it or 0:30:12.040 --> 0:30:15.160 get those yards helped them get that yard yards. So 0:30:15.560 --> 0:30:18.000 we have to get this offense going. We hadn't seen 0:30:18.120 --> 0:30:20.760 the last couple of games, so that change is going 0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:26.000 to be welcome. And whenever it comes to the decimated secondary, 0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:28.480 and you guys are mentioning these rookies, Jeff Gladdene, a 0:30:28.600 --> 0:30:31.800 TCU product, actually is one of the starting corners. The 0:30:31.880 --> 0:30:35.120 other one who's been dealing with a concussion is Cameron Danceler, 0:30:35.200 --> 0:30:37.320 the Mississippi State corner that we saw at the Senior 0:30:37.360 --> 0:30:39.760 Bowl last year. Pretty good little corner, but still not 0:30:40.640 --> 0:30:43.840 anybody that should be starting as a rookie. I was 0:30:43.960 --> 0:30:46.280 high on I did like Cameron Danceler, but I still 0:30:46.320 --> 0:30:48.360 didn't think he would be a starter as a rookie. Well, 0:30:48.400 --> 0:30:50.680 he's adding to step in and do that because they've 0:30:50.720 --> 0:30:54.880 been just absolutely torn apart by injuries whenever it comes 0:30:54.920 --> 0:30:59.480 to the secondary. Holton Hill, Mark Fields, Mike Hughes, Miles Dorn, 0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:03.040 all of those guys have been out and missed significant 0:31:03.160 --> 0:31:05.600 time for this secondary. It's kind of like what the 0:31:05.680 --> 0:31:08.960 Cowboys are dealing with on the offensive line where the 0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:12.000 Minnesota Vikings are dealing with in the secondary. They're having 0:31:12.040 --> 0:31:14.560 to do a musical chairs sort of thing back there 0:31:14.600 --> 0:31:16.800 to deal with it. But that brings this question to me, 0:31:17.440 --> 0:31:20.040 is this the chance that we finally get to see 0:31:20.720 --> 0:31:24.760 Andy Dalton with minimal pressure coming up against an offensive 0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:27.880 line that has a wee bit of continuity to attack 0:31:27.920 --> 0:31:30.840 a week secondary with the receivers that we've been waiting for. 0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:33.280 Is this finally the opportunity we get to see Dalton 0:31:33.400 --> 0:31:35.920 kind of blossom into the quarterback that we had originally 0:31:35.960 --> 0:31:41.840 thought he could be as a backup. Well, it's gonna 0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:47.720 say yes. I don't think it's gonna be that type 0:31:47.720 --> 0:31:49.840 of game. I think Andy Dalton's going to be in 0:31:49.960 --> 0:31:52.760 a game management type of scenario. I'm kind of like 0:31:52.880 --> 0:31:55.360 a like a old school Russell Wilson just don't mess 0:31:55.480 --> 0:31:57.200 up type of scenario. I really think this is the 0:31:57.280 --> 0:32:00.600 game that Zeke comes out and he's into Zeke. I 0:32:00.640 --> 0:32:02.360 think everyth think he probably gets around one hundred and 0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:04.800 thirty yards on the ground this game. And you know, 0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:07.360 and Anye Dalton's gonna be facing too high, probably the 0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:09.360 second half of face single high. He might be able 0:32:09.360 --> 0:32:11.239 to start getting some things down to field a little bit, 0:32:11.320 --> 0:32:15.160 but this is gonna be a mid short, short, the 0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:17.800 mid range game for Anye Daldon. He's just gonna have 0:32:17.800 --> 0:32:19.520 to be precise, and I think he'll have the time 0:32:19.600 --> 0:32:21.720 he needs to throw the ball. So yes, to answer 0:32:21.720 --> 0:32:25.240 your question, we should see the original Any Dalton this game, 0:32:25.320 --> 0:32:27.120 but we won't. But he should not be throwing a 0:32:27.160 --> 0:32:31.640 ball forty times. Yeah, I think the hope is, you know, 0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:33.800 you can establish the run and then if you can 0:32:33.880 --> 0:32:35.840 get them out of some of that that looks where 0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:38.640 they're they're playing their safeties, deep move with guys up, 0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:40.960 because there are to your point, Kyle, there are some 0:32:41.200 --> 0:32:43.520 matchups on the outside that you've got to feel good about. 0:32:43.560 --> 0:32:45.440 I think if you can get him the ball, but 0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:48.840 you mentioned protection. Look, the Viking sin still get pressure. 0:32:48.880 --> 0:32:50.640 I think they rely a lot on their front floor 0:32:50.720 --> 0:32:54.120 to just go get the quarterback. But they'll blitz their linebackers. 0:32:54.240 --> 0:32:57.440 You know, Eric Wilson is really doing damage for them 0:32:58.160 --> 0:33:01.600 as a blitzer with pressure in Saxon affecting the quarterbacks. 0:33:01.600 --> 0:33:05.360 So you know, I you know they're they're lying and 0:33:05.440 --> 0:33:07.320 maybe isn't what it's been, but I think they're still 0:33:07.360 --> 0:33:11.560 capable of getting pressure on Andy Dalton. And I just 0:33:11.680 --> 0:33:13.520 think that's the scheme going into every week, that you 0:33:13.640 --> 0:33:16.400 try and establish the run and set up everything after that, 0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:20.320 and yes, be a game manager, Andy Dalton, but that's 0:33:20.480 --> 0:33:23.360 all good until you're down about three, you know, three 0:33:23.400 --> 0:33:25.480 touchdowns and then you have to throw the ball. So 0:33:26.400 --> 0:33:28.840 that's I guess I'm basing this off of our past 0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:32.640 history as a team with us always being playing from behind. 0:33:32.800 --> 0:33:35.360 So obviously a lot of things have to go good 0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:38.280 for the Dallas Cowboys to actually play the kind of 0:33:38.320 --> 0:33:42.360 football that we know is run the ball, then throw 0:33:42.520 --> 0:33:45.280 and he can facilitate and not put this defense or 0:33:45.320 --> 0:33:47.480 put himself in a situation where he's throwing the ball 0:33:47.720 --> 0:33:50.280 forty times this game. But that's been what we do. 0:33:50.520 --> 0:33:52.880 We throw the ball forty times a game. They just 0:33:53.000 --> 0:33:55.000 need to hit some big plays here and there. Yeah, 0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:57.600 they just haven't had that and Gilbert finally gave him 0:33:57.640 --> 0:34:00.360 a little bit of that the touchdown to CD, And 0:34:00.520 --> 0:34:02.600 that's I think that's why I guess I just feel 0:34:02.640 --> 0:34:06.160 better about Andy, just because if he's got the protection, 0:34:06.280 --> 0:34:08.719 I feel better about him. His rapport with the receivers, 0:34:09.480 --> 0:34:12.320 getting a couple of plays, you know, thirty forty yards 0:34:12.400 --> 0:34:14.799 down the field where now you're in scoring position. Let 0:34:14.840 --> 0:34:16.440 me ask you this, Yeah, let me ask you this. 0:34:16.800 --> 0:34:18.800 So how short of a lease do you have on 0:34:18.920 --> 0:34:22.359 Andy Thalton? Right? So if this first half is just abysmal, 0:34:22.760 --> 0:34:27.239 is no good? Do you then put Gilbert in the game? 0:34:27.400 --> 0:34:30.000 Are you saying, no, matter what, we ride to die 0:34:30.239 --> 0:34:35.880 all the way through Islam? Is Andy's healthy? Yeah? I would? 0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:39.359 I would. I mean, look, if it's not going good, 0:34:39.400 --> 0:34:41.439 I think based on what you've seen from Gilbert, you could, 0:34:41.960 --> 0:34:43.920 you know, you could take a look at him again. 0:34:44.560 --> 0:34:48.000 Uh what I think they would do? It just sounds 0:34:48.000 --> 0:34:52.000 like they're riding with fourteen just you know, so we'll 0:34:52.040 --> 0:34:57.359 see m riding with fourteen. So it's Rob pet Rob 0:34:57.400 --> 0:35:00.799 Pete right for life? Team? Are ask you agree there? 0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:07.440 Your friend ride together and die together? Yes? Double H 0:35:07.560 --> 0:35:10.640 on his own? Uh, he's on his own island over here, 0:35:10.719 --> 0:35:13.640 it's it's double H Island at this point.

This 0:38:03.440 --> 0:38:05.640 is great, man. You're coming through. Oh you're showing off 0:38:05.680 --> 0:38:09.200 the bo Okay, okay, okay, you can hear me just 0:38:09.480 --> 0:38:14.200 loud and clear. It sounds great. Uh So, like I 0:38:14.320 --> 0:38:17.200 mentioned a moment ago, heading into the commercial break, we 0:38:17.320 --> 0:38:20.600 do have some unfinished business in terms of talking about 0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:24.560 the matchups that are on the table. And yesterday I 0:38:24.680 --> 0:38:28.160 got a nice little scary from Isaiah and a scary 0:38:28.239 --> 0:38:31.800 scary from mister rob Pe whenever it came to Justin 0:38:31.960 --> 0:38:35.600 Jefferson and Adam Feeling and the weapons outside. But I 0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:37.400 want to I want to ask you this question, who 0:38:37.560 --> 0:38:41.399 is going to cover who in this regard? Because Cheeto's back, 0:38:41.760 --> 0:38:44.320 You've got Anthony Brown, of course, you've got Cheeto Woozier 0:38:44.400 --> 0:38:46.640 in the slot. Or excuse me Jordan Lewis in the slot, 0:38:47.080 --> 0:38:50.799 but ultimately there's not going to be enough to cover 0:38:51.160 --> 0:38:54.160 either one of these guys efficiently. Isaiah, how did the 0:38:54.200 --> 0:38:57.600 Cowboys come back this duo like we've seen already this 0:38:57.719 --> 0:39:02.280 season that could potentially have a lot of success zone 0:39:02.360 --> 0:39:06.239 coverage and communication. Don't try to play these guys, man. 0:39:06.440 --> 0:39:09.080 We've tried that too many times this year by facing 0:39:09.719 --> 0:39:11.880 Um some of some of the best receivers that this 0:39:11.960 --> 0:39:14.520 league has to offer, and it didn't work in our favor. 0:39:14.680 --> 0:39:16.640 I don't think hardly at all. And maybe a sept 0:39:16.680 --> 0:39:19.880 For Atlanta game because Julio was hurt and he wasn't himself, 0:39:20.320 --> 0:39:24.520 but UM play zone defense. Hopefully coach calls Coach Ryan 0:39:24.600 --> 0:39:29.239 calls that, and uh and yeah, yeah, that's it. Just 0:39:29.400 --> 0:39:31.520 just just don't put these guys on the island, true, Please, 0:39:31.520 --> 0:39:33.160 don't put these guys on the island. It's just not 0:39:33.280 --> 0:39:35.839 a smart move. How quickly to you think we see 0:39:35.920 --> 0:39:41.600 these guys on an island. It's gonna happen. I mean, 0:39:41.640 --> 0:39:43.279 you can't go a whole game just playing his own 0:39:43.400 --> 0:39:44.960 so it's gonna I mean, you're gonna see these guys 0:39:45.000 --> 0:39:46.400 on the island at some point in time. You just 0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:49.400 hope that you know, again your communications on point. Hopefully 0:39:49.400 --> 0:39:51.480 they played with good technique. Hopefully they get their hands 0:39:51.520 --> 0:39:53.520 on somebody. It's one thing to play man coverage and 0:39:53.520 --> 0:39:55.320 you try to shadow somebody at the line of scrimmage. 0:39:55.480 --> 0:39:57.560 That where that's where we've really failed this year is 0:39:57.640 --> 0:40:00.920 in man coverage, playing at the line, trying to shadow somebody. 0:40:00.960 --> 0:40:02.920 All of a sudden, they finally make a decision, they 0:40:02.960 --> 0:40:04.600 go a certain direction, and then they just gas on 0:40:04.760 --> 0:40:06.759 us and run by us for a big play. You know, 0:40:07.200 --> 0:40:09.000 if you're gonna get up there and play man play 0:40:09.040 --> 0:40:11.400 some old school man, put your hands on somebody, and 0:40:11.640 --> 0:40:13.719 and you know it's if you're gonna get burnt, get 0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:15.560 burnt that way. Don't get burnt by just trying to, 0:40:15.560 --> 0:40:18.960 you know, try to keep up with somebody's feet. Yeah, 0:40:19.080 --> 0:40:21.919 everybody's gonna be ready because, um, you know, they moved 0:40:22.000 --> 0:40:24.320 some guys around. They moved Jefferson in the slot some 0:40:25.120 --> 0:40:29.040 and uh, you know, to y'all's point, like if they 0:40:29.200 --> 0:40:32.480 when they play off at some time off man or zone, 0:40:32.920 --> 0:40:34.719 they can find those holes and they can beat you. 0:40:35.080 --> 0:40:36.800 I thought the biggest play in the game against Chicago 0:40:36.960 --> 0:40:40.520 was fifty four yards by justin Jefferson just finding a hole. 0:40:40.560 --> 0:40:43.040 It was kind of seedee lamb, like where catch him 0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:45.400 on the run and go and he can do that. 0:40:45.640 --> 0:40:48.400 So uh. And the other thing too about communication that 0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:51.640 Isaiah mentioned, they'll do those bunch sets. They'll line guys 0:40:51.760 --> 0:40:53.960 up together on one side and and and make you 0:40:54.880 --> 0:40:58.600 communicate and decide who's taking who basically so um and 0:40:58.719 --> 0:41:00.799 kind of those kind of pick type thing. So they 0:41:00.880 --> 0:41:04.080 do it. They do a lot of short, short, short splits. 0:41:04.200 --> 0:41:08.120 With Jefferson especially, he runs a lot of a lot 0:41:08.200 --> 0:41:10.480 of corner routes, a lot of corner routes, a lot 0:41:10.520 --> 0:41:14.399 of speed outs, and those present problems because when you're 0:41:14.480 --> 0:41:17.920 when you're when he's so tight down to towards towards 0:41:18.000 --> 0:41:21.120 the lineman. And as a as a secondary guy, as 0:41:21.160 --> 0:41:23.560 a defensive back, you're gonna sit outside a little bit 0:41:23.640 --> 0:41:26.600 typically right because you're protecting the majority of the field. 0:41:26.840 --> 0:41:28.960 But what ends up happening is he runs a stem 0:41:29.080 --> 0:41:31.120 towards your outside shoulder, and by the time he comes 0:41:31.160 --> 0:41:33.239 out of that break, if the balls on time, it's 0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:36.600 literally a player that you really can't defend. You could 0:41:36.600 --> 0:41:38.279 take your shot at it by trying to undercut it 0:41:38.320 --> 0:41:40.080 and try to get an interception. But if you don't, 0:41:40.239 --> 0:41:42.400 if you miss, then all of a sudden he's catching 0:41:42.400 --> 0:41:45.120 the ball and he has the whole sideline. So he runs. 0:41:45.520 --> 0:41:47.680 Pay attention to that those short splits, and pay attention 0:41:47.680 --> 0:41:49.560 to him running those corner routes and those speed outs. 0:41:49.600 --> 0:41:51.440 It's it's a problem. He does a good job of 0:41:51.480 --> 0:41:54.080 finding his own and he's lanky. He gets upon you quick. 0:41:54.480 --> 0:41:56.600 He doesn't look like he's running fast. He has the 0:41:56.760 --> 0:42:00.080 long freaking Dawsome legs from Street Fighter, and he just, 0:42:00.400 --> 0:42:02.880 you know, just runs and he just gets upart you 0:42:02.960 --> 0:42:05.320 really quick. That It's just it's kind of creepy. The 0:42:05.480 --> 0:42:07.800 second Street Fight the reference of the season. I love it. 0:42:08.200 --> 0:42:12.200 There it is. Yes, I haven't m I could just say, man, 0:42:12.239 --> 0:42:15.880 I haven't been afraid of a Minnesota Vikings rookie receiver 0:42:16.080 --> 0:42:22.400 since Brandy Moss and Jefferson, since that Jefferson presents a problem. 0:42:22.920 --> 0:42:25.680 But also I would like to think that the veterans 0:42:25.760 --> 0:42:28.279 that we have on our team and the secondary will 0:42:28.280 --> 0:42:30.960 be able to mitigate a lot of that worry and 0:42:31.120 --> 0:42:33.839 play to their strength. Cheeto, for me, is a guy 0:42:33.920 --> 0:42:36.360 that always does a really good job of using the 0:42:36.440 --> 0:42:39.560 boundary as an extra defender. So that play that you're 0:42:39.600 --> 0:42:42.160 talking about undercutting that that I believe it's that the 0:42:42.280 --> 0:42:45.880 fade that they like Kirk Cousins like to throw to Jefferson, 0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:49.239 that he uses that to his advantage. These guys can't 0:42:49.280 --> 0:42:51.200 tip their hand and goes on the whole game. They're 0:42:51.239 --> 0:42:53.640 gonna have to play some man, this is a part 0:42:53.680 --> 0:42:55.719 of the part of defense, and if you play zone 0:42:55.800 --> 0:42:57.960 that they will eat that apart. I mean, I don't 0:42:58.000 --> 0:43:00.600 like Kirk Cousins, but man, you know you that would 0:43:00.640 --> 0:43:04.440 be checkers to his chest as an offense. So, you know, 0:43:04.520 --> 0:43:08.560 the Cowboys defense, I believe Anthony ab is a guy 0:43:08.640 --> 0:43:12.400 that I feel comfortable being by himself on Feeling or 0:43:12.520 --> 0:43:14.799 on Jefferson. I just feel like that part of their 0:43:14.960 --> 0:43:17.359 what they do and just have to, you know, play 0:43:17.440 --> 0:43:20.400 to their strengths as defenders. But it's all going to 0:43:20.480 --> 0:43:22.879 be surrounding around the kind of pressure that we get. 0:43:23.160 --> 0:43:26.360 You know, the interview yesterday with Tank Lawrence and they 0:43:26.440 --> 0:43:30.440 asked him about the difference between the comparison between the 0:43:30.520 --> 0:43:34.719 Kevin Safanski Cleveland Brown's offense and this offense. He's like, look, man, 0:43:34.920 --> 0:43:38.480 we realize that these guys are very similar, but we 0:43:38.600 --> 0:43:40.480 are a different defense than where we were when we 0:43:40.600 --> 0:43:42.640 played these guys. We were not being able. We weren't 0:43:42.640 --> 0:43:45.160 able to play fast and free because we didn't realize 0:43:45.200 --> 0:43:48.200 what the defense, what defensive coordinator was asking for us 0:43:48.239 --> 0:43:51.160 and from us. And these guys feel a lot comfortable 0:43:51.239 --> 0:43:53.399 going into this week. So look, man, I just feel 0:43:53.440 --> 0:43:55.960 as though the defense plays together just the same as 0:43:56.239 --> 0:43:58.320 the Vikings defense has been doing. We should have some 0:43:58.400 --> 0:44:02.920 success on Sunday. How much of a role is Kyle 0:44:03.080 --> 0:44:06.120 Rudolph gonna play in this game? They called him all 0:44:06.200 --> 0:44:09.440 reliable on the on the Monday night football broadcast, and 0:44:09.520 --> 0:44:11.120 I thought that was the best way to put it, 0:44:11.239 --> 0:44:14.040 because he's been around for ten years and he continues 0:44:14.080 --> 0:44:16.400 to do the same thing. Plus Isaiah, we looked at 0:44:16.440 --> 0:44:18.799 it in the film room. I mean, he's a fantastic 0:44:18.880 --> 0:44:21.600 blocker still even at this point in his career, but 0:44:21.640 --> 0:44:23.880 he's also a receiving threat. How big of an impact 0:44:24.239 --> 0:44:26.759 does he play? Real quickly here before we wrap things up. 0:44:28.640 --> 0:44:31.040 He plays he's a huge man. I mean he looks 0:44:31.040 --> 0:44:33.799 like it looks like Christoph from Frozen on there. He's 0:44:33.880 --> 0:44:39.800 a big bike and if anybody, if anybody, if anybody 0:44:39.880 --> 0:44:43.200 remember what a bike you should look like. It's him. 0:44:43.239 --> 0:44:45.799 He's a large human and he's gonna block. He's gonna 0:44:45.800 --> 0:44:49.680 consume you in the Rand game, he's gonna he's gonna 0:44:49.800 --> 0:44:52.000 he's gonna box you out if he runs a route. 0:44:52.080 --> 0:44:54.759 So he's he's a problem man, and they're definitely gonna 0:44:54.840 --> 0:45:00.759 use him. Street Fighter Frozen all in the span of 0:45:00.840 --> 0:45:05.160 two minutes. I love it. It's accurate and it's accurate. 0:45:05.440 --> 0:45:08.960 It is accurate. That's the best part about it. It's 0:45:09.000 --> 0:45:12.520 completely accurate. Got Christoph Rudolph over here. I mean his 0:45:12.719 --> 0:45:15.800 name is literally Rudolf and Christoph d a reindeer, So 0:45:15.880 --> 0:45:18.959 I mean, I guess it works. It completely works. That's 0:45:19.320 --> 0:45:23.399 that's impressive. Isaiah rob Big big Impactrol Cook from Kyle 0:45:23.480 --> 0:45:27.799 Rudolph Christolf is good as a blocker, man. You guys 0:45:27.840 --> 0:45:30.200 showed it in the film room on those Zone runs. 0:45:30.280 --> 0:45:32.040 He can, he can, he can move guys out of 0:45:32.080 --> 0:45:37.000 the way. So watch out for Christolf. I'm no good 0:45:37.120 --> 0:45:42.439 right now, Kyle, Where do you come up with this stuff? Man? 0:45:43.760 --> 0:45:45.400 Do you have a no card in front of you? 0:45:45.640 --> 0:45:48.960 With this? What is that? Man? That's that's crazy. He 0:45:49.080 --> 0:45:52.040 goes through and he looks he goes through and looks 0:45:52.080 --> 0:45:54.759 at the headshots of all these players. He goes, that's Christoffs. 0:45:55.440 --> 0:45:58.520 That's that's what that one is. Oh Man, that just 0:45:58.680 --> 0:46:01.160 comes to me. Man, that's That's the best way I 0:46:01.200 --> 0:46:04.480 could have possibly found a way in this show. And 0:46:04.640 --> 0:46:07.200 and and send us in to say it with your 0:46:07.280 --> 0:46:09.439 chess Friday.
