8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: episode number fifty seven. Welcome to another edition of The

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: Break Live from the s WBC Mortgage Studios. We got

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: so much to get into today. We didn't get a

11
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: chance to get to a lot of our talk yesterday

12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: around San Francisco forty nine ers, but still was a

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: good show. Yesterday had an opportunity to have Daniel Wallat

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: join us to talk a little bit more about the

15
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: legal aspects of Zeke's case, and it sounds like from

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: what the fans have at least tweeted me, they got

17
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: out a lot out of it. So I thought it

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: was a good show. But to day we were going

19
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: to focus in on the San Francisco forty niners. Cowboys

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: traveled to San Francisco this Saturday and on Sunday at

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: three oh five Central time, they'll they'll kick off. Let's

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 1: start first with injuries. We had a couple of different

23
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: guys on the injury report that did not practice yesterday,

24
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: and I need to get some clarity from you guys

25
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: on whether fans should be concerned about this because he

26
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: seemed to be things that keep lingering on. You thought

27
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: over bye week, maybe you get out of there and

28
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: you have a clean injury report. But there were two

29
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,919
Speaker 1: guys that didn't practice, Chobei A. Woozier and Tyren Smith.

30
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: What you we think. I think that especially with Tyron Smith,

31
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: that he's gonna get just about every Wednesday off. That's

32
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: just that's it's almost like the Tony Romo plan for him.

33
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: And until he can figure something out, and it's probably

34
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: gonna be in the off season, I would imagine there

35
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: could be surgery in his future. I don't know, but

36
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to manage this the best way they

37
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: can and Wednesday after Wednesday's practice is probably more of

38
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: a routine schedule miss for him. I'm not worried about

39
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith's ability to get ready to play in a game.

40
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how you couldn't be worried about Tyron

41
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: Smith's like long term future as it stands right now,

42
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: because this is season number three where this has at

43
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: least been a thing where this is I mean, he's

44
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: only missed two games ever because of it, but they

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,839
Speaker 1: managed him in training camp. He missed two games last year.

46
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: He's had weeks like this where you're sitting him down

47
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: and limiting him and it's his back and he's he's

48
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: an offensive line. I mean, you need your back to

49
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: play sports regardless, but like you spend your career in

50
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: a two point stance on the offensive line, so I

51
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: need your back for every profession. Yeah, well maybe I

52
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: think you would be a writer with I'm gonna say,

53
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: I just sit in a chair all day. I mean

54
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: you have bad back though, the way you sit, no

55
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: doubt it's gonna catch It's gonna catch up to you. Kid.

56
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: That was really good. It's really good, really good, And

57
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: there's no way that was planned. No, no, it's really good.

58
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: But that was flat. That was off the again. Tyrant

59
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: Smith is twenty six years old and still has a

60
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: large chunk of his contract left. Luckily, it's like the

61
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: team friendliest contract in the history of the world. But

62
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: like I said, I just I mean, and I'm not

63
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: saying I'm not saying like he's gonna have to retire

64
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: or anything, or I don't know what's in his future,

65
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: but like, how can you not be concerned that he

66
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: keeps showing up on the injury report? And back injuries

67
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: are one of those injuries that you can really heal. Like,

68
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: once you have a back injury, you have it for

69
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: the rest of your life. So I am concerned about

70
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: his future. Again, I don't really know the severity of it,

71
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: but just seeing that, yeah, he wasn't able to practice,

72
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: but going back to last year, him being out two games,

73
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: and they say, this is a different That's what Garrett

74
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: keeps saying. Yeah, he keeps saying it's different. It's not

75
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: the same, it's not it's he just it's tightness. He

76
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: used the word inflamed yesterday, and and Garrett's sure to

77
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: all he's always sure to say that he's not a doctor.

78
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: And I'm definitely not a doctor, Uh, just an attorney

79
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: you've become. I feel like I, unofficially I've never felt

80
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: stupider than I did during that segment on that show yesterday.

81
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: So I'm glad. I'm glad the fans. Glad the fans

82
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: got something out of it, because I was just like, what, well, Um,

83
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: It's like, do you believe that all of Tony Romo's

84
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: back issues were just non related? How he had a

85
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: herniated disc here, and he had another herniated disc, and

86
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: he had the transverse process injury, and then he had

87
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: another back. I mean, Okay, there might have been all different,

88
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: but it's all from the same area. So I and

89
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: it's you're talking about, I mean, you have to move here,

90
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: I mean to next point. You gotta move your back

91
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: to play. So it's always if it's something, if it's

92
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: even if it's different things, if your backs just give

93
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: new problems, like, it's not something you can rest or

94
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: really with fix I mean without surgery. I mean yeah,

95
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: surgery might be. But then again, like I said about Romo,

96
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: it was then something else, and DeMarcus ware kind of

97
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: was the same way, and they act back. DeMarcus Lawrence

98
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: is similar. Don't don't go, don't go any further with that.

99
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence he had back surgeries in two consecutive offseasons.

100
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: He finally looks like he's over it now. But it

101
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: took a hell of a lot of time. So, like

102
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: I said, I think Tyron Smith will be out there

103
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: against San Francisco and I think he'll play just fine.

104
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: But long term, big picture, it's got to be concerning. Yeah.

105
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: And as for Cheeto, I don't even I don't know

106
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: what to do with that guy anymore. Um. He it's

107
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: been an issue for him since mid August, and you know,

108
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: he played through the Giants game, he left in the

109
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: Denver game, and every time you think he's coming back,

110
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: he's it's he's had a setback with it. And you know,

111
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm not blaming him for that, but it just is

112
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: what it is. Yeah, I don't know if it's a

113
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: good point. I meant he had a setback every time

114
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: he's tried to play. I mean, you know, was it

115
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: the Rams or the Packers. He played the game, but

116
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: they they pulled him because he felt it tightened up

117
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: on it. So I didn't mean, I don't know, it's

118
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: too early to say yesterday as a setback, but it's

119
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: just something that he's been perpetually dealing with since August.

120
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: Garrett said he was going to be on the field limited,

121
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: but they did list him As did not practice. Yeah,

122
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: so we'll see today. Yeah, do you expected maybe he

123
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: returns today. I would expect him to be limited today. Okay,

124
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,239
Speaker 1: this is an interesting point though, because we're talking about

125
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: that open roster spot. I do expect them to make

126
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: a move. Common sense tells you maybe defensive tackle because

127
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: Stephen pie retired, Lewis Neil and Richard Ashe are there.

128
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: But if Cheeto can't get this thing right for the game,

129
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: then maybe you're thinking cornerback. You've got Mark Quaiz White

130
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: sitting there, so you know that gives them something to consider.

131
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: I would imagine that move will probably happen on Saturday.

132
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: That's what teams typically do. So that's something to watch

133
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: right when we're on the plane. Yeah, right, driving too.

134
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: When I like, I'm gonna sit there with my laptop

135
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: on Saturday morning, I'm just gonna sit in me like,

136
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: all right, I'm ready to write this when it happens,

137
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: and then finally I'm going to close it and and say,

138
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: all right, I gotta go to the airport. And right

139
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: when I turned the ignition on my car, that's when

140
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get the email that you know, it might

141
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: be the smartest thing what's that write it before, send

142
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: it on over to Kent and then hit to the

143
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: airport and say, whenever this breaks, here's your article. It

144
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: sounds like a great plan, like no one's ever thought

145
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: about doing that. But you know what, when that happens,

146
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: then they take Darryl Reeves something like that, somebody that

147
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: you would try to stay a step ahead, and you

148
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: still get I had I had a lot, right, three

149
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: or three to five different stories. Let's go all the

150
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: way from this. I'm trying to go out with a

151
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: fun time on Friday, still the fifty third roster spot

152
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: after I wrote twelve paragraphs that they signed a Namdi

153
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: awesome wa and then that had to just delete the

154
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: whole thing because the novel idea how about just tweeted

155
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: it's the fifty third man on the rock, all right,

156
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: that's recorded on the podcast for posterity. So when there's

157
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: no story on Saturday, just playing, I'm just playing, Um,

158
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: is there a reason there's not a story? There a

159
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: reason why we didn't cover Marquez White getting called up

160
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: or yeah, Derek, I was driving the A. I try

161
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: to ask questions. I don't assume anything. I like to questions.

162
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: When I end up doing that, like I always think

163
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: of you, and I'm like, you know, it's the better approach.

164
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: It is the better approach because you never know, I've

165
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: been burned a few times where I went all in,

166
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, like, hey, why didn't I mean, what's going on?

167
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: You're like? And I thought about it later. I was like,

168
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: I probably should have asked a question rather than just

169
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: like going at people. But so now I asked the really,

170
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 1: we don't have this story up? Yeah, Charlotte Anderson told

171
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: us not too. Okay, yeah, good idea. Okay, all right,

172
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: let's let's jump back in. Let's talk about I guess

173
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: move on to the San Francisco forty nine ers and Dave.

174
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: Yesterday we did a little bit of a breakdown. You

175
00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: d gave us a little bit of a scattering port.

176
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I kind of missed it.

177
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: You were thinking about what we were doing to get

178
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: our guests on yesterday. It's really hard to talk when

179
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: you know that nobody when you're talking to is not

180
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: listening to you. Just so you know, like I'm not

181
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: oblivious to that. Trying Okay, you know what, real quick

182
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: it prepares you for marriage, though, So just get there.

183
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: I was thinking, shit, I didn't, but it's so true. God,

184
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: I was thinking how you said yesterday, how I was saying, like,

185
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't really affect us, the whole Seek thing. But

186
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: look at this week. We haven't talked about the forty

187
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: nine ers yet, and we did spend the whole show

188
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: talking about Seek yesterday. So yeah, it affects us. I'm

189
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: just saying, I don't know if it affects everybody in

190
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: the locker room like that, but hey, it's probably a

191
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: bit of a distraction. I can give you that. Would

192
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: you like me to redo the offense? Yes, I work

193
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: with the defense. Why don't we do this? Why don't

194
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: you give us a full team scattering report. Let's or

195
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: better yet, tell you what, Let's start with the offense,

196
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: and then once you give us the offense, then I

197
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: want to ask the question to Amber and Nick regarding

198
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: the San Francisco offense, what concerns you most? Then we'll

199
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: do a scattering report on the defense, and then we'll

200
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: ask the same question to him about the defense. Does

201
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: that sound good? All right? All right, let's go. I'm

202
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: gonna try to abbreviate this because I did do this yesterday.

203
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: Just you can just run because you weren't listening. Fans

204
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: weren't the main thing. I mean, the obvious thing is

205
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: that CJ. Beth is going to make his first start

206
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: in this game. And that all sounds well and good.

207
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: Tell me how good he is. Well, he's a he's

208
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: a rookie. That's that's my point. Like it sounds like

209
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: a favorable matchup, But he came in against a pretty

210
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: good Washington team and played really well. I mean, given

211
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: the circumstances. I mean, he comes in, okay, first possessions,

212
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: a punt, then he goes touchdown, field goal, missfield goal, touchdown, punt, touchdown,

213
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: and like we said, he had him in position to

214
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: try to set up a game winning field goal, bad penalty,

215
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: ultimately gets picked off to end the game. Does that happen? Sometimes?

216
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: More frequently when a team goes into the week preparing

217
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: for one quarterback, that quarterback comes out another quarterback that

218
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: maybe they didn't prepare for, especially guys they don't have

219
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: a lot of tape on, comes in and now can

220
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: do a little bit more because you don't know what

221
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: he mean. There's probably something to be said for that,

222
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: But I mean, you're still talking about a rookie and not,

223
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, not a number one overall pick, like he's

224
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: a third round pick. Yeah, then to steal a line

225
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: from Garrett like you would imagine in that scenario, you've

226
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: got steam coming out of your ears because you're thinking

227
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: so hard. Like the fact the fact that an NFL

228
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: defense couldn't take better advantage of him. I mean, he

229
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: might be great, but you would still give the edge

230
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 1: to the defense and that and let's not forget the

231
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: flip side of that too. Here's a rookie quarterback that

232
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: didn't get any snaps all week, that's coming in there

233
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: and having to play. Maybe he didn't get any snap

234
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: like they may they may have been seen this coming

235
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: going lastainly didn't get as many as the starter. Yeah,

236
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: he might, he might have gotten some. But I would

237
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: really hope Kyle Shanahan didn't set Horyer up to fail

238
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: and just give all the snaps to him, let him start,

239
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: he didn't play well, and then pull him. So. So

240
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: the big things to know obvious everybody should know. Carlos Hide,

241
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: he's their second round pick from a few years, A good,

242
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: good player. He's averaging four point two yards per attempt.

243
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: He's Also, it kind of like Zeke in the sense

244
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: that I think he could be a really good receiving

245
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: running back, but they don't use him a lot. He's

246
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: got twenty three receptions on the year, although he did

247
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: have five once Bethard came into this game. You think

248
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: safety blankets. So is that because they're dropping the ball down.

249
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: That drops the ball down less like a lot of

250
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: swing passes, a lot of like little run and turn

251
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: around and face back to the quarterback. That's kind of

252
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: a good thing for the Cowboys, right good thing for

253
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys because right now, I mean that's good good

254
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: thing for the Cowboys in the sense that he's looking

255
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: for the easy throw, but it's still a dynamic player

256
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: that they're getting the ball to as many ways as possible.

257
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: It's just you know, and yeah, Sean Lee is supposed

258
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: to be back, but if you're not tackling, well, who

259
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: cares that? That could be bad stuff. Um. Pierre Garson

260
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: is the other guy that everybody should know. Got the

261
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: don't forget to put the little squiggle on this seat.

262
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: His last name U Thirty three catches this year, no touchdowns,

263
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: but he's average thirteen yards per catch. He's not a

264
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: big touchdown guy anyway, even when he was with Washington.

265
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: He's like a weird mix between a big play guy

266
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: and a possession guy. Like he's a little bit of both.

267
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: A lot of volume for him, like he'll catch a

268
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 1: lot of balls, he's not like he's not purely explosive

269
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: like a DeShawn Jackson, but he's not like this unathletic bum.

270
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: Yeah you know, um, by far the best receiver though

271
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: by far, by far, I mean Mark Marquis, Marquis Goodwin,

272
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: who's mainly famous for being a track runner, and Aldrick Robinson.

273
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: Aldrick Robinson did actually have a big touchdown catch in

274
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: this Redskins game. But he's got He's got nine catches

275
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: on the year on twenty four targets, So that tells

276
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: me they're looking for him on a lot of chunk

277
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: plays and they're not really hitting him that much. The

278
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: one thing I will say about Marquis Goodwin, and I

279
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: know this because obviously he was a Texas guy, but he,

280
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: like you said, he's a track guy. He can burn

281
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: you down. Oh he's fast as they stretched the field

282
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: kind of guy. For sure. He's the everyone's got one

283
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: of those though. See but the all right Nick, the

284
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: the Condon. The opposite of that argument is that he's

285
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: he's good for like two of those per years, Like

286
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: he's got sixteen catches, could be this week, right, which

287
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: it could. But yeah, he's probably gonna get three looks

288
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: in this game, and one of them will probably be

289
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: on like an eighty yard go route. And you just

290
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: hope that your cornerbacks up to the challenge. And what

291
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: you don't want to see is your safety doing the

292
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: handclap like that meant something bad happened. He got loose

293
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: in the meantime, Like I said yesterday, like this looks

294
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: like a West Coast offense type of team, just in

295
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: the sense of like they love them some twelve personnel.

296
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: George Kittle, who's I think a fifth round rookie this year,

297
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: and Garrett I can't remember, Jason, Oh no, no no, Garrett Selleck,

298
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Yeah, Garrett Selleck is their other tight end.

299
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: They're out there all the time. They use him to block,

300
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: they use him to receive. Kittle's got twenty one catches

301
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: this year as a again a rookie, and he's kind

302
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: of there do everything tight end, a lot of a

303
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: lot of passes, near the line of scrimmage. I imagine

304
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: that will continue with a rookie being their quarterback. But

305
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's like a it's a heavy personnel

306
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: type of team. Like it looks it looks kind of

307
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: old school when you watch them play like it's they're

308
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: not doing that five wide, skinny little receivers at every spot.

309
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: They got a lot of a lot of big bodies

310
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, it's when you look at them statistically,

311
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: they don't do anything particularly well. They're in the bottom quarter.

312
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they really did in the bottom third, bottom

313
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: quarter of the league in almost every offensive statistical category

314
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: that you that you look at. The one that stood

315
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: out is rush yards per attempt. There they average four

316
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: point two yards per rushing attempt, and that puts them

317
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: thirteenth in the league. Again saying that maybe they're not

318
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: running the ball enough, but when they do, they've been

319
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: fairly successful with it. So that's something worth noting, especially

320
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: against this team that has given up something in I mean,

321
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: they haven't been great against the run, so that's something

322
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: worth noting going into this game. A name that I

323
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: also would recommend you know is Matt Breda. He's their

324
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: number two running back. He's an undrafted free agent out

325
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: of Georgia Southern. He's got thirty four carries for one

326
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards, give or take. He doesn't touch

327
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: the ball a lot in a given game, it seems like,

328
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: but when he does, he rips off eight to ten yards.

329
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: Like it seemed like every time he touched the ball

330
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: he was either catching a short pass and taking it

331
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: eight nine yards or just going right through the line

332
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: like he's he kind of took again to quote Garrett,

333
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: he's kind of got that. I hate that. I just

334
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: said that out loud, but I do too. Didn't roll

335
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: off your tongue like it does. It doesn't roll off

336
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: his tongue either. It's not a good catch phrase, but

337
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: it's good on a T shirt. Sure, But he kind

338
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: of pops off the tape when you watch him play

339
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: a little bit. All right, cool, Amber, give me one

340
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: thing about this offense that concerned you going into this game, Well,

341
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: you kind of mention it just now. The running game

342
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: kind of interesting to see how they go up against

343
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, especially with a rookie quarterback. I'm assuming or

344
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: I would expect them to rely somewhat on the running

345
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: game and the Cowboys fifty percent of the time they've

346
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: allowed the opposing team to rush for four plus yards

347
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: on their first downs. Now we know that shan Lee

348
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: is coming back. I know Shanle is not more fifty,

349
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: but is he that fifty percent that this defense is missing?

350
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. Um. I expect him to make an

351
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: impact for sure, but again I'm interested to see how

352
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: it plays out with him being back on the field.

353
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: It can't it can't just be one guy that fixes everything.

354
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens there. So, just to be clear,

355
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: you're saying, at fifty percent of the time on first

356
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: down when opponents run the ball, they get four plus yards. Yeah,

357
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: that's that's a lot. Oh gotta be gotta be I

358
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: don't I don't know, but it's pretty low. It's pretty low.

359
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: Like that's one of their weakest points right now. So

360
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: that again, that's something that concerns me. And we will

361
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: see shan Lee back on the field. But everyone, I

362
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: mean I see Twitter, and everyone seems to be expecting

363
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: shan Lee to be that huge difference maker and he's

364
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: gonna change this defense. I believe in shan Lee and

365
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: I think he's a great player, but again, not everything

366
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: can rely on one single player. Yeah, some of those games,

367
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: some of those plays were in Denver. Yeah, the worst,

368
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: the worst game they've had all seasons stopping the role

369
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: was Endeavering. Sean was playing so and that's not to

370
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: say Sean won't won't give them a big lift. I

371
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: think he will, but he will. But at the end

372
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: of the day, I don't know if you can say

373
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,239
Speaker 1: that's gonna fix everything, right. And when you look at

374
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: that number, I mean fifty percent considering all the guys

375
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: are out there. We'll see how they do, but that

376
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: would be an area that I would be on the

377
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: lookout for. I'm gonna push all my chips into the

378
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: table and say this for like the eighteen thousandth time,

379
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: and I'll look either really good or really bad. But

380
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: I think people undersell what it'll mean to also have

381
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Hitchins there. He's not a Pro Bowl player, but

382
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: this will be the first game of the year where

383
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will have both of their preferred top two

384
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: linebackers playing. They're both instinctive players, they both know the

385
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: scheme really well. They've played in it. I mean, Shahn's

386
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: played in it for four or five years now, and

387
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 1: Hitchins has only ever played in this scheme. So and

388
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 1: they play fast because of that, right, and they make

389
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: a good team together. They're good players, you know, and

390
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: you know they're not going to magically transform into this

391
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: elite unit. But they got to be able to stop

392
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: the run a lot better than they have and having

393
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: those two guys out there should help them do that. Yeah,

394
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: stopping the run makes a big difference. The linebackers that

395
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: you have there, those two particular, make a big difference

396
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: in your ability to stop the run. Nick, tell me

397
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: what offensively about the San Francisco forty ninets concern you most?

398
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: Concerns you most. We'll have two points. I didn't know

399
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: which way Amber was gonna go, so I wanted to

400
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 1: make sure I covered it up. I'll be brief. The receivers,

401
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: Pierre Garston. When you look at the receivers that the

402
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys have faced this year that have kind of hurt them,

403
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: de Marius Thomas had had a big day, obviously, Larry

404
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald had a really big day. DeVante Adams did some things.

405
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: All of those guys are pretty well built, big, big

406
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 1: receivers going up against the cornerbacks. When you think about Scandrick,

407
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, even Jordan Lewis, they don't have a lot

408
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: of size with them, so that matchup kind of worries me.

409
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: Garson against them, he's a possession guy. He could kind

410
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: of goes and get going. He knows him well and

411
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: he's had some days against them, so that that would

412
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: be one. And then another thing is that with Bethard

413
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: in the game, I feel like it almost takes their

414
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: bye week almost away from them because of what we

415
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: said about hard to prepare. You don't have a lot

416
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: of tape on them. We saw what the Giants did

417
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: to Denver when they just switched up the play callers

418
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: and and kind of and had different personnel in there.

419
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: So I kind of wonder if having those two weeks off,

420
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: that first week's kind of out the window because they didn't,

421
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: you know, Bethard guide in the game. So it's almost

422
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: like that that just basically stole their bye week from

423
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: them and put in preparation. But on the flip side,

424
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: you're playing a rookie quarterback, so that's a good thing too.

425
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: So two things to worry about that maybe they're not

426
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: going to be as prepared and they have some different

427
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: things thrown at them. We'll take our first break when

428
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: we come back. Let's flip to the defensive side of

429
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: the ball. We'll get a scatter report. We'll find out

430
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: what Amber and Nick think are the biggest concerns defensively

431
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers. Will do it when we

432
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: break Back. It is the second segment of the break

477
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: live from the s WBC Mortgage Studios. We're talking cowboys

478
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: versus forty nine ers, and we've gone through the deep.

479
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry the offense for the forty nine ers. Now

480
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: let's talk about the defense. Dave, give us a scouting report.

481
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: I'm tempted to make you do this after the mean

482
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: thing you just said to me. That was not mean,

483
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: it's true, asked Nick. Has he become mister grumpy? Like?

484
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: Is he always grumpy? Is he always just like, that's

485
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: not that's not what you said. You know what I'm saying. Now,

486
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: let's just move on. I would be offended if I

487
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: was Dave. I'm not becoming Mickey. Okay, I'm not all right.

488
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: You know what's fun about about what's going on? Something's fun.

489
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: I love it. Okay, shut up. What's fun about what's

490
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: going on with the forty nine ers defense is that

491
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: they switched. I don't know about y'all, but you know,

492
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: you kind of like when you think four three verse

493
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: three four. The forty nine Ers are one of those

494
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: teams that I've associated with a three four for a

495
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: long time now. I mean they've been they were running

496
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: it out there forever. They were really good while they

497
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: were running it, and now they switched to a forty three.

498
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: And so what's fun about that is it puts a

499
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: lot of guys into favorable positions because maybe that's where

500
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: they should have been. But also, you've been drafting for

501
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: a three four for the last decade, so you got

502
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: a lot of guys playing in weird spots. Eli Harold

503
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: is one that jumps to mine. He's a second round

504
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: pick who they drafted to be a rush linebacker and

505
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: now he's stuck playing sam because there's he's too small

506
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: to be an edge a down lineman in a four three.

507
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: It's like you don't know what to do with him. Conversely,

508
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: maybe their best player is DeForrest Buckner, who is now

509
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: playing three tech defensive tackle in a four to three,

510
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: which is probably where he should have been in the

511
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: first place. So he's a better player there than he

512
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he was a great player. He's one of

513
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: the it doesn't matter for him. He had three sacks

514
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: as a down line I'm sorry, he had six sacks

515
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: as a down lineman in a three four. As a

516
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: defensive end he was a three four end. Yeah, He's

517
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: got twenty nine tackles in a sack and a half

518
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: through six games. He's consistently been rated one of the

519
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: best interior lineman in football by you know, Pro Football

520
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: Focus and all those types of places that do that

521
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: type of stuff. He's the guy that I'm really looking at.

522
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: And then you have Solomon Thomas, who you drafted in

523
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: the top five this year, which, again, if you're still

524
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: playing three four, is he outside rusher? Is he had

525
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: three to four end? What do you do with him?

526
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: But he's just your right end right now. And he

527
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: kind of had a slow start, but I think he's

528
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: figuring it out because he's been nominated for NFC Defensive

529
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Week three times this year already. He's Wow,

530
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: he's got twenty three tacks in two sacks. Uh. So

531
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: he's doing a lot better than Taco Charlton. It's not

532
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: a fair comparison to throw that in. It's not a

533
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: fair comparison, But I'm just saying, if you're a beast,

534
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,719
Speaker 1: you can figure this type of stuff out. Apparently as

535
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: a rookie. Solomon Thomas, Yeah, um, you really really quick

536
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: on him. You realize that that he would watch the

537
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys several times when back when they were in Valley

538
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: Ranch and they'd had to go to Capel High School

539
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: for um, you know days when it rained and they

540
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: go into the indoor facility, which always seems weird that

541
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: an NFL team would go to a high school Texas

542
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: right there. Uh, And and he would he would be

543
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: out there a lot. I know he's done some interviews

544
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: saying that he would. He would you know, you'd like

545
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: skip class, I guess and go over there and watch

546
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: him play and all that. So here here he is,

547
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: and that that's only you know, five or six years ago.

548
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: Maybe three of the top ten picks in this past

549
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: draft are all from the Dallas area. Not bad really,

550
00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett Solomon, Thomas, Jamal Adams. Wow yea. None of

551
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: them play for the Cowboys. No, unfortunately, but still impressive.

552
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 1: They would all be upgrades at their perspective positions. Um,

553
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: those stop ten picks would be okay, that's fair. Um.

554
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: Eric Armstead is a guy that the forty nine ers

555
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 1: have spent a lot of draft capital on their front

556
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: seven in the last five or so years. Eric Armstead, unfortunately,

557
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: he is on he is on ir he heard his wrist.

558
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: I think in this past game, I'm thinking you're probably

559
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: looking at Elvis Dumerville, who you probably remember. He'll probably

560
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: play left end. Was with Baltimore, he was with Denver,

561
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: then he was with Baltimore now and I think that's

562
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if there was a team in between there,

563
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: but he's probably your starting left end now. Um, should

564
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: we be afraid of him at all? To keep going? Yeah?

565
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think I'll be interested to

566
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: see how how the Dallas line. I mean, you got

567
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: a lot of talent up here, Spenton Buckner particularly, Fortunately,

568
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: that's the strength of your line. And is Martin and

569
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: Frederick left guard? Maybe I'm I'm curious to see what

570
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: Buckner can do. Does he go on either side? Yeah? Yeah? Um,

571
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: linebacker's interesting. They I mentioned Harold your primary linebackers, Ray

572
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: Ray Armstrong's your primary yeah, um, he's your primary will

573
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: And then right now brock Coyle is playing Mike because

574
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: Navarro Bowman is no longer a forty nine er big

575
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: X factor. Here is Ruben Foster, who you might remember.

576
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: He's he seems kind of like the spiritual descendant of

577
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: Rolando McLean in a lot of ways. That's not good.

578
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: He's from He's from Alabama. He certainly seems a little feisty. Uh.

579
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,239
Speaker 1: He was the guy that got thrown on or off

580
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: the field both. Okay, he got thrown out of the combine.

581
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: If you'll remember he freaked out on the medical remember that. Yeah, um,

582
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: what do you remember? The circumstances. It's just the NFL

583
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: comb I mean, in their defense, it is a grueling

584
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: process where you spend like fifteen hours in a hospital

585
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: getting poked and prodded. And I guess he just had

586
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: enough and somebody like yanked on his arm or just

587
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: you know, he got he won test too many and

588
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: he wasn't having it. Yeah, Um, of course you think,

589
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: you know, you're basically interviewing for a million dollar job.

590
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: You think you could keep your patients for a day. Um,

591
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: he's dealing. Also him, Reuben and Ray Ray were somebody

592
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: tried to rob them earlier this week. I heard about

593
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: the outside of a club and they didn't do anything wrong,

594
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: but they it was just an altercation and the police

595
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: got involved. And so that's a thing. He was limited

596
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: in practice this week. He's a first round pick. I mean,

597
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: he's a stud if he's on the field, but he's

598
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,719
Speaker 1: kind of been limited as he played well with him

599
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: this year. He's only played one game. Oh but he

600
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: did play well in that game. So that does sound

601
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: a lot like lauro Landon will claimed it. Yeah, a

602
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: little bit. Um bye the bye I went. I went

603
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: to I went to the sample sale, the DCM sample

604
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: say last night found a Rolando McClean jersey for like jersey. Yeah,

605
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: it's like a T shirt jersey. Like I never heard that.

606
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: The discount was insane, Like it was a twenty five

607
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: dollars shirt for like five dollars. Obviously, ill you got it,

608
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: like obviously you're gonna hang it in the office. I

609
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm gonna do with it yet. I

610
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: might frame it. I don't know. But he's one of

611
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: my own. So I have a giveaway on the here

612
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: on the air. No I want it. I bought it

613
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: for me. Cocate your own. Um, all right, your secondary.

614
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: It's definitely a medium. Yeah, it's median. It's a medium

615
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: for sure. I might frame it. I don't know. Um,

616
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 1: maybe a lot of LSU guys in the secondary starting

617
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: with not Eric reads the name, you know. But Richard

618
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: Robinson is the guy you need to know. Um, he's

619
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: a long range like six one safety or cornerback. He's

620
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: probably the guy that's gonna be dealing with Dez because

621
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: he's big. He's big height wise, but he's skinny. But

622
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: he can dezle abuse him. Well, that's gonna I think, honestly,

623
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna be something to watch. Is who gets the

624
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: upper hand in that because Das has the size to

625
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: beat him. But he is a good man corner with

626
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: good height. So yes, he's he's I mean, he's physically

627
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: very He probably should have been a first round pick

628
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: or at least, you know, a top sixty type of pick,

629
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: but he got into a lot of off field stuff

630
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,479
Speaker 1: at LSU, couldn't stay at eligible. Yeah. I mean, if

631
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: you have to leave LSU early, you really really messed up. Uh.

632
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: And I mean the same thing with the with Tyron

633
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: Matthew though he left early. They kicked him out, but

634
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: he still got drafted and is making a name for himself,

635
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: So good for him. Um, Dante Johnson is your other cornerback.

636
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: Kwan Williams and Jaquisky Tart a quiskey A quiskey Tart.

637
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: They're the guys Yack and whiskey, Like, just put it

638
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: together if you're quis If that's what you want to do. Sure, um.

639
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: And then Eric Reid, who solid player, is notable for

640
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: off field reasons more so the last year or two.

641
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: He's the other guy along with Colin Kaepernick, who's been

642
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: involved in the anthem protests. Wrote a really good op

643
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: ed about it in The New York Times. I advise

644
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: anybody and everybody to read it if they get a chance.

645
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: All of that said, like there's a lot of draft

646
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: capital on here. These guys aren't very good. They're twenty eighth,

647
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: and total defense twenty seventh, and past defense eighteenth, and

648
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,239
Speaker 1: run defense giving up one hundred and thirteen yards per

649
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: game twenty third, and scoring they're allowing twenty five points

650
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: a game. It's so, I mean, it's a testament I

651
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: call it good coaching that they're not particularly great on

652
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: offense and they're not particularly great on defense, but all

653
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: all their games are coming down to the wire, so

654
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: they're doing enough to make it work one way or

655
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: the other. I kind of wonder if that's bad coaching, honestly,

656
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: because you know, I think, well, the games are coming

657
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: down to the wire. I mean, you know, you know,

658
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: damn well if if Jason Garrett doesn't win games that

659
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: are close, as he's not managing them, well, so you know,

660
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: you have to kind of wonder if you get down

661
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: to that point in the game, or they not doing

662
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: what they need to to. I mean, five in a row.

663
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean, that's you can make that argument, but I

664
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: just think of it in turns. I mean, this has

665
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: got to be one of the five least talented rosters

666
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now, I would guess, And they're

667
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: going through a big transition. They totally overhauled their defense.

668
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: First time. Shanahan's weren't running their offense. He doesn't have

669
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: really a whole lot of guys that he would prefer

670
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: to have quarter and they're still very, very competitive, So

671
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, they're not finishing in crunch time,

672
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: but given what they're working with, I think it's impressive

673
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: that they've given it as good of a goat they have,

674
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: so ambers there anything about this defense. This gives you

675
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: anything that you're concerned about with regards to this defense,

676
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: not super scared, but I got a few things. So

677
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: I was checking out all these stats, and you know,

678
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: Dallas have done a really good job scoring inside the thirty,

679
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: so I think right now they're ranked taken best in

680
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: the league. Now, the forty nine ers defense has done

681
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: a fairly good job at stopping the opposing team to

682
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: score inside the thirty touchdowns yore, yeah, inside the thirty.

683
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,959
Speaker 1: So this is where I thought things got a little

684
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: interested interesting, and I think the Cowboys should be aware

685
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: and kind of be careful with this. The defense, the

686
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: forty nine ers defense, they're ranked in third place with

687
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: red zone takeaways. Now the Cowboys, they haven't given the

688
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: ball at all this year, but this is my concern.

689
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: If they choose to not run the ball and throw it.

690
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm concerned with these wide receivers, the receivers catching the ball,

691
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, not letting the ball, not dropping the ball.

692
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: And it's a fine line where the drob becomes a

693
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: fumble and then now the other team takes it away

694
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: and now we see some of these receiver receivers struggle

695
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: with that this year, and with the forty nine ers

696
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: being ranked at number three with red zone takeaways, I

697
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: would say this is an area where I would be

698
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: very cautious of. Okay, Nick all right, um, you know,

699
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: anytime you have a pass rusher that can get after

700
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback, he could disrupt the games. And Dumerville is

701
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: on by the downside of his career, buddy. It does

702
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: have three and a half sacks this year. It's not

703
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: eight and a half like DeMarcus Lawrence, but it's still

704
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: you know, he's getting to the quarterback. And I think

705
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: if if he gets in a situation where maybe they

706
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: put him over there on Lyle Collins and here's a

707
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: crafty veteran, he's seen some things. He can start disrupting things.

708
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: That could be one. Anytime you have a guy that

709
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: that can kind of take over a game that I

710
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: don't know if Dumerville still has the ability, but he

711
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: still has shown he can get after the quarterback, so

712
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: he would be my guy that I think that you

713
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: have to watch that because you know it takes eleven

714
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: but but really, if one guy's messing up a play,

715
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: then you know you can be to field quick. So

716
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: that would be my guy to watch. All right. Two

717
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: things I'll point out real quick, the passing game. In

718
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: the passing game defense, they have given up a lot

719
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 1: of big plays. You look at right now, they're ranked

720
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 1: twenty second and twenty plus YAR passes that they've given

721
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: up with nineteen and ranked thirtieth in the league with

722
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: forty plus YAR passes they've given up. They've given up

723
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: six of those. So this is a defense that's right

724
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: for big plays. We don't know if the Cowboys will

725
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: necessarily be able to take advantage of that. They have

726
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: had some big plays this season. I don't know if

727
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: it's been at a at a big rate, but they

728
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 1: have had some. This would be a defense where maybe

729
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: it suggests they have some opportunities this week to have

730
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: some big plays. But I'll flip it to the other

731
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: side of this, and the same way I said the statistically, offensively,

732
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: there was nothing they really did well other than their

733
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: yards per attempt was pretty good. It's the same thing

734
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. The one thing

735
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: that was pretty good about them statistically is that right

736
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: now they're ranked fourth in rush yards per attempt allowed,

737
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: only at only allowing an average of three point four

738
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: yards per tip. Now, that suggests that in these games, again,

739
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: this could be a situation where the teams they've played

740
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: and just said, hey, we're gonna just throw the ball around,

741
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 1: and they really can't stop the pass. But when they've

742
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: tried to run, at least they've held them to three

743
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: point four yards per tip. That's something worth worth noting

744
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: in and being aware of. Well, yeah, and I think

745
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: that makes sense because, like I said, the I mean,

746
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 1: the bulk of the really good talent on this defense

747
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,760
Speaker 1: is in the front seven, especially if Ruben Foster plays

748
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: in this game, and that gives you a really athletic,

749
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: physical linebacker to help your defensive line. I mean, at

750
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: the end of the day, the Cowboys need to be

751
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 1: able to run the ball against anybody but a lot

752
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,959
Speaker 1: like the Rams. This is a matchup where I'm thinking,

753
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: all right, they have they have the talent where they

754
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: can probably make life difficult for you in the run game.

755
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: Your receivers need to be able to win some matchups

756
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: to take the pressure off that. This is mentioning Dez

757
00:37:55,800 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: and Richard Robinson, Beasley, all those guys. I think this is.

758
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: This is a game where I'm thinking you passed the

759
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: set up the run more than vice versa. All right,

760
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: let's take our finals. They do have one area, though,

761
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: real quick, one area where they are the best in

762
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: the league, and that is punt coverage. They are the best.

763
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: So Switzer is gonna have a tough game because they

764
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: only they only allow one point seven yards on punt return.

765
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: Oh wow, so they I mean most of us catch it,

766
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 1: go down, most of us getting you know, fair catches.

767
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: But I just don't drop him. But yeah, yeah, he doesn't.

768
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: He doesn't worry worry about that. He'll probably do it again.

769
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: All right, let's take our final break. We'll come back

821
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, I was ready yesterday and you just basically

822
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 1: said I was about to do it, and then you

823
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: just moved on to something else. You had so much

824
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: going on yesterday. I got it. I understand that. But

825
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: when I said it in the break that I was

826
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 1: about to do it and you were like, Okay, that's fine,

827
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 1: and then by fifteen seconds later you just kind of

828
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 1: forgot about it. I think I think you're gonna be fine.

829
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: Thanks Nick for nothing. All right, let's get into questions.

830
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,240
Speaker 1: The number is two one, four eight seven two twenty

831
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,479
Speaker 1: one O two. You can also hit us on Twitter

832
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: at Cowboys Break. Let's start with a call from Antonio

833
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: and California. Antonio, what up? What's up? Guys and lady?

834
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: How's everybody doing? So? All right? Um, so my question,

835
00:41:58,600 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't really I'm not hit too what you got

836
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 1: talking about today. I'm just I'm really cooling about yesterday's

837
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: segment segment with a lawyer, and I thought it was phenomenal.

838
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: I mean, man, that was great, great radio. I listened

839
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: on the podcast in the morning because I worked. I

840
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 1: worked nice. I want a janetarial service, so I mean,

841
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm up early in the morning. But um, the reason

842
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: my call at Amber, I think it's super smart, and

843
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I love you on the show as a

844
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: different dynamic. I just feel like you were beating that

845
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 1: dead horse, you know, because it really doesn't matter Web

846
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: and he did it. I mean it matters, but the

847
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: police in file charges and indeed in prosecute, and in

848
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: my mind, the system says he didn't do it because

849
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: there's not enough evidence to say he did it. So

850
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it feels like it's a dead horse to

851
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: keep going back and say, well, I want to know

852
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 1: the truth and Web or not he did it or not.

853
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 1: I mean the fact that the matter is this, there's

854
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: a lot of evidence to prove that the accuser is

855
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: it's not credible. And we all noticed there's people out there,

856
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: not just women, men too, who make force claims against

857
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,879
Speaker 1: people who have money and power and influence. They've want

858
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: some of that money power influence. So I feel like weep,

859
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: we keep perpetuating the narrative that he may have did

860
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: it or not because he's a football player and he

861
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: played for the Cowboys, and you know, the Cowboys always

862
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: have that reputation of having players who necessarily don't make

863
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 1: the best choices. So that was that was just my

864
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: reason for the call. And all right, a little too cent, thanks, Antonio.

865
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. I will say this though, I

866
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: think that's kind of what you got to yesterday, Dave,

867
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 1: which is everybody kind of has to make their own

868
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: decision on that because there is nothing that's clear cut

869
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: that says definitively this is what happened. This is the

870
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: person that was right, and this is the person that

871
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 1: was wrong, and so everybody kind of has to listen

872
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: to the information and read the information and for themselves

873
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: kind of figure it out. And I think amber not

874
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: to put words in your mouth, but it seems like

875
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: what you were saying was you still don't feel like

876
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: you have enough already on that, and that's something you

877
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: really wish you had more clarity on. Yeah, I mean,

878
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: I know at this point that's a dead end right there.

879
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: You're not going anywhere. And again, the whole five isn't

880
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: really about that anymore. It's more about the whole process

881
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 1: and the whole case being done fairly to Zeek. But again,

882
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: my whole reason behind that was just the whole point

883
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: of hearing the NFL finding all this evidence or all

884
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: these little things to prove that he did he did,

885
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: you know, the whole domestic violence thing, and that he

886
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: was guilty and therefore he has a six games suspension.

887
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: So that's just out of curiosity, Like now, I just

888
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: want to hear it from both sides, but I know

889
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen. And again, I think the

890
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: whole fact that Zeke did all these other things, the

891
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 1: whole punching thing, whether it happened or not, I know

892
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,479
Speaker 1: there was some confusion with that whole thing at the club,

893
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: the whole pulling down the shirt also what was the

894
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: other one that he did, the walking inside the marijuana shop,

895
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: All those little things, I think it tied up to

896
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 1: this bigger thing. And the NFL just was kind of

897
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: put up with him, and you know, did whatever they

898
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: could to in fact, suspend him for six games. Not

899
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 1: only that, I mean, it's we've talked about it a lot,

900
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 1: and then you can only talk about it to a

901
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: certain point. But you know, and you I mean, you

902
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: have to, like you said, you have to make your

903
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: own decision about this at the end of the day.

904
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: But I would argue with the caller that it's important,

905
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: and it's important because he's a Cowboys player, and it's

906
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: it's not like it's some kind of witch hunt because

907
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: he's this visible guy. I mean, this is a guy

908
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: that millions of people. You know, you buy your son

909
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: or your daughter his jersey, and he's this representative of

910
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: these things that you hold dear in this team that

911
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 1: you love. And for everybody that wants this to just

912
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: not be talked about anymore because it's their favorite player

913
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: on their favorite team, that's what makes it important is

914
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: you kind of want to know, or a lot of

915
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: people at least want to know you know what type

916
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 1: of person he is and whether they should be supporting him. Yeah,

917
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: but to represent this for the caller, I don't think

918
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: it's a matter of him saying I don't want this

919
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: to be talked about because it's my favorite player. I

920
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: think what he's saying is there's enough information out there

921
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: that clearly paints Tiffany Thompson. I think that's her name

922
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,399
Speaker 1: as someone who is not credible. And even the person

923
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: that did the investigation and talked to Tiffany Thompson on

924
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,240
Speaker 1: six different occasions said she is not a credible witness.

925
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: So I think what he's saying is it's not so

926
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: much about his favorite player, it's more about there's enough

927
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: out there that suggests that she was trying to take

928
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: advantage of a situation. Whether that's true or not, that's

929
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: what it suggests. And he said, from that standpoint, he

930
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: feels like it's beating a dead horse because she's not credible.

931
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: That's what I think he's saying. I and you know what,

932
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 1: I agree with that, but I think, you know, going

933
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: back to what she was just saying, there's enough other

934
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 1: circumstantial evidence, and to be fair, it is hearsay, but

935
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: there's been enough troubling stuff surrounding Ezekiel Elliott that it

936
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: bears questioning and thinking about and coming to your own

937
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 1: decisions about. And he put himself in that situation with

938
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: questionable decision making regardless of whether he's guilty or innocent

939
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 1: of this particular act. Yeah, and to be honest with you,

940
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: all those other things are very very small compared to

941
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 1: being accused of domestic violence. And that's kind of what

942
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: he was getting in the locker room yesterday. That's what

943
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: he has to fight if it feels like he didn't

944
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: do anything wrong, because I don't want to live with that.

945
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: And again, the fact that he is fighting this whole thing,

946
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 1: this horror and going this far kind of place to

947
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: the whole idea that he didn't do anything, and maybe

948
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: he didn't. But again, it's just so many little holes

949
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: here and there throughout this whole case that it just

950
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 1: creates some doubt. And that's just me wanting to know

951
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: more in detail. And I did read all the details

952
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: of the whole case and Tiffany Thompson and all that,

953
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 1: and even then I wasn't clear on what to think.

954
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: You know, one moment, you think one thing, next thing,

955
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: you know, you see something else and now you're thinking

956
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 1: the other ways. So we want to know. But it's

957
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:08,439
Speaker 1: it's important. All right, Let's get a question from Twitter.

958
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 1: Do you think Woods will get more snaps at safety

959
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: and bass defense with Byron Jones? In other words, take

960
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 1: take Keith off the field pretty much. There's a couple

961
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: of variables there. One which we already talked about, is

962
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: that Shitta be Woozier might not play in this game.

963
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: It's early to say that, but it's something you have

964
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: to wonder about. They looked at him at safety against

965
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: Green Bay, so that's something that could affect the rest

966
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: of the playing time. The other one is cornerback playing time.

967
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: Is Wood's gonna play more nickelback? Where exactly A you're

968
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,919
Speaker 1: gonna line him up? I know, I know fans hate

969
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: Jeff Heath, but I'd be pretty surprised if they look

970
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: drastically different on defense than they have. I think, I mean,

971
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: you'll see some young guys. Cheetah will be in there.

972
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: If he's able, Woods will mix in dime Nickel. I

973
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: think maybe he's played a little bit of base. Yeah,

974
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,879
Speaker 1: like they they've taken Byron and Heath. Heath often base

975
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: a couple of times and put caveon and Woods out

976
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: there before. But you know, if you just if you're

977
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:11,760
Speaker 1: thinking Jeff Heath's going to be standing with his helmet

978
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: on the sideline for this whole game, you're wrong. Do

979
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: you think that there is a I'll ask question all

980
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: you guys. Do you think that there is a significant

981
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:21,879
Speaker 1: chance that by the time we get to late part

982
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: of the season December, that Xavier Woods will be your

983
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: starting safety? How's the team doing you you paint the scenario.

984
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,439
Speaker 1: Let's assume for a second that they're doing well. Let's

985
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: also assume that they're not doing well. And does it

986
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: matter if they're winning games? I would be surprised if

987
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: they make wholesale changes like that. I mean, even if

988
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 1: you think back actually in twenty fifteen when they've made changes.

989
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: I mean they've they've switched around the running backs, they

990
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 1: changed quarterbacks because they were losing games. They're like, this

991
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: isn't working. We got to find something that will. But

992
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 1: Heath is a bridge player, right, I would assume we

993
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: all agree that Heath is kind of your bridge to

994
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 1: the point where you get a safety long term. You

995
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: lost your you lost safeties last year and so this

996
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: was your kind of answer for the short term until

997
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 1: you can bring somebody along. Right, Is he the worst

998
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: safety that starts? No, but he's the one you got

999
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 1: the least invested in. Yeah, but the first round pick

1000
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: is not going to be a guy you sit on

1001
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: the bench unless you just have to. I don't have

1002
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: to sit him on the bench. You can maybe playing

1003
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: him in the other position. I guess that. I mean,

1004
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: they're not gonna move in the corner this year, are they.

1005
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think. I wouldn't expect Xavier

1006
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: Woods to be playing slot corner either. I mean, I

1007
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: just think when when if Xavier Woods is going to

1008
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 1: play in the game. I think his skill set is

1009
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: probably similar to what Byron Jones can do. So maybe

1010
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: Byron Jones can play some some corner. I don't know.

1011
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: I just feel like that the one thing Heath does

1012
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 1: is that he's he's pretty It's pretty physical when it

1013
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: comes to tackling. Now, if he misses d Gurley in

1014
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 1: the open field, then yeah, that's not very physical, but

1015
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 1: he'll come up there and bring it. I think that

1016
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 1: Byron Jones more that I see him, the more I

1017
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,320
Speaker 1: think he's probably not built for the position. That's what

1018
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 1: I view. So if I was gonna take it, you know,

1019
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 1: put Xavier Woods in there, I think I would look

1020
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: at it maybe Byron Jones before I would look at Heath.

1021
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: I just think a lot of times, I think coaches

1022
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: hate to be wrong more than than they want to

1023
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: be right, if that makes sense, you know. And Heath

1024
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 1: is a veteran who has played and he can tackle,

1025
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: he has made some plays before, he has those instincts,

1026
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: and he has earned the coaches trust. Regardless of whether

1027
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: you the listener think that's fair, that's the case, and

1028
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: I think it's going to take something drastic for them

1029
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:47,760
Speaker 1: to just pull him and replace him with a rookie.

1030
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,280
Speaker 1: That's just kind of my instinct. That's that's me getting

1031
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 1: based on what I know about those coaches. But the

1032
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: fact that they were that they did a similar thing

1033
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: with Carol and Jordan Lewis. They got Jordan Lewis in there,

1034
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: he did took advantage of the opportunity, and and Xavier

1035
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: Wood is getting opportunities. What happened there there was an injury,

1036
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: I get that. All I'm saying though, is there was

1037
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 1: an opportunity for Jordan Lewis to play. He played well,

1038
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: and they said, you know, Carol, Carol is a guy

1039
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 1: that just came in, just got to the team, has

1040
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: been here for a while. Yes, but but the question

1041
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: still remains, do you not see Heath as a bridge

1042
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: player in the exact same way the Carol was a

1043
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: bridge player? Or do you think he's in there the

1044
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys long term plans as a safety. Probably not, He's No,

1045
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 1: You're probably right that he's a bridge player, but you

1046
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: know you can space that out. I mean, Jeremy Mincy

1047
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: was a bridge player and he started for two years,

1048
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 1: so you know he's under contract again. They trust him,

1049
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: they value him, and I just feel like they'll be

1050
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: reluctant to do something that dramatic. I mean, you know,

1051
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 1: we've already seen the young guys getting snaps and I

1052
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 1: think that will continue. But I'm just I'm talking drastic, like, Noah, Jeff,

1053
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 1: we don't need you. We're good. You're not playing safety

1054
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: in this game. I don't think you'll see something like

1055
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: that unless there's an injury. And I was I wasn't

1056
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:08,720
Speaker 1: saying that either. I guess what I was more asking

1057
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,439
Speaker 1: is do you see a scenario where the playing time

1058
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,439
Speaker 1: kind of flips to where Xavier's playing more. That doesn't

1059
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,760
Speaker 1: mean they're not gonna rotate, because this team rotates on defense.

1060
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: Like we know that they're gonna rotate guys in They're

1061
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: gonna be times you're gonna have guys on the field

1062
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: and aren't starters, and you're gonna have a lot of them.

1063
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 1: So I understand that. But I'm just saying, do you

1064
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: think there's a point where it flips to where Xavier

1065
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: Woods is out there more frequently than than Jeff Heath is.

1066
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: That's more what I was kind of. I can see

1067
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 1: that mainly because of the special team's ability that Heat does.

1068
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: But again, like I'm saying, I feel like they all

1069
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: need some work. I mean, I couldn't imagine just benching

1070
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: Heath and just letting Byron Jones continue to go out

1071
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 1: there and take the wrong angles and getting you know,

1072
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 1: knocked off the ball by you know, tight ends and

1073
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: guards and stuff like that. So I just don't know

1074
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 1: if his body type. I thought he would kind of

1075
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: develop into that, but I don't think he has. I

1076
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:01,359
Speaker 1: think he is probably now more of a corner to me. Yeah,

1077
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: I don't even know if it's the body tie. I

1078
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: just don't think he's they're playing everyone. I think that's

1079
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,879
Speaker 1: for both safeties. You said, we said it last week.

1080
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:09,800
Speaker 1: I think the safety position. Is this a position that

1081
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 1: concerns me to most on this team because I don't

1082
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: think they're getting great play out either one of them.

1083
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: I think that's fair and for the ten millionth time,

1084
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: I think it's more likely it's just a scenario where

1085
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 1: they're leaning on all five of those guys or six

1086
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: if you want to count cheetoh, whatever. But this is

1087
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: just a platoon because there's there's no great answer anywhere.

1088
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,760
Speaker 1: All Right, let's take another question from other than Garson

1089
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 1: against our corners, which matchup against the forty nine ers,

1090
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: are you guys more intrigued intrigued by well, mainly, I

1091
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 1: mean you have to stop Carlos Hyde. I think he's

1092
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: other than Garson, he's probably their most talented offensive player.

1093
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: He's going to run the ball again. I look for

1094
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 1: Bethard to try to find him on easy open routes.

1095
00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 1: That's on your linebackers, specifically Sean Lee Ming he's out there.

1096
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 1: And then George Kittle probably I mean for a rookie,

1097
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 1: like I said, he's he's got twenty one catches and

1098
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: he's already been targeted thirty one times. For a guy

1099
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 1: that was drafted in the fifth round, that's pretty crazy.

1100
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: And again, he plays a position that can be really

1101
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 1: friendly to a rookie quarterback. So yeah, is this only

1102
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: the Are you just talking about the offense or you're

1103
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: talking about offense or defense. I think Buckner's a guy

1104
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,399
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep an eye on, just because when

1105
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 1: he lines up on what would be his right side

1106
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 1: and Cowboys left side, and that that matchup could be

1107
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: favorable for them, you know, for a defense. I mean,

1108
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:34,720
Speaker 1: for a disruptive defensive tackle to line up over whoever's

1109
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: gonna line up for the Cowboys at left guard, I

1110
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: think that can be a bit of a you know,

1111
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 1: that can be a bit of a problem for the Cowboys,

1112
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: especially if he becomes disruptive enough to where the running

1113
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 1: game can't really do what it needs to do, and

1114
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: especially in short yard situation. I think Tyron Smith's back

1115
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: is allowing Jonathan Cooper to stay at left guard right

1116
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: because I think in practice they'd like to keep the

1117
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 1: continuity there. And what's happening is when he doesn't practice

1118
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: chas Green goes over and plays left tackle. So I

1119
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 1: think that that that's helping, you know, Cooper stay in there,

1120
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 1: you know, in keeping him at that spot, because then

1121
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 1: you'd have to move once Tyran comes back, then you

1122
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: moved him. And that's the problem because Shaz Green didn't

1123
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: significantly show that he was better than Cooper. He might

1124
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: be a little bit better and it's better. Like you said,

1125
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: you know, we've always said about coaches and scouts feel

1126
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 1: smarter when they drafted a guy that's playing. But you know,

1127
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think at this point Cooper is

1128
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:35,760
Speaker 1: going to stay there left guard. We've talked about tackle

1129
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 1: plenty of times, but the questions just keep coming in

1130
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 1: in regards to him. Where does Taco need to improve

1131
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 1: his game the most? Some options are balanced, still biggest

1132
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: issue first step, hands staying lower. What do you guys think.

1133
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm not a scout, but I just think he needs

1134
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 1: a bigger repertoire of stuff that he can do. I mean,

1135
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 1: it's a joke by now, Rush moves. Yeah, it's a

1136
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: joke by now where we're in the press box, like, oh,

1137
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: spin move. Taco tried to spind move. It didn't work,

1138
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: and if it doesn't work, then then nothing else and

1139
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,399
Speaker 1: then have a whole lot else except to just run

1140
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: and hope he gets past the guy. Like you don't

1141
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 1: see swims or stutter steps or any of that type

1142
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: of To me, after all those things, it would be

1143
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: upper body strength because he needs to just get bigger

1144
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 1: up there. Because of what happens is is that all

1145
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 1: these moves that you see defensive ends have, they also

1146
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: have one called just the straight bullrush. If the guy's

1147
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: kind of off balance a little bit, you just straight

1148
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: go right into his chest and just shove him back.

1149
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: I don't think Taco can do that. I have a

1150
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: hard time imagining Taco just pushing walking a tackle and

1151
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 1: they can't really do that yet. He'll get to that point,

1152
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: and when he does, then the other moves will start

1153
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 1: to work. So he's gotta just gets bigger and stronger.

1154
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: And you know, for your feeing going to do that

1155
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: till offseason. Yeah, and your first round pick coming from Michigan,

1156
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: I think that maybe they thought that wouldn't be as

1157
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 1: much of an issue, But you know, you would think

1158
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 1: a defensive vent in the first round could have helped

1159
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: this team. Yeah, I mean camp early, the early report

1160
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 1: on him was that he was raw and he was

1161
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: going to take some developing. That is clearly true, but

1162
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 1: that can still be true, and you can still say

1163
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: that this is a disappointing output for a first round pick,

1164
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: Like you can be raw and know that it's going

1165
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: to take some time and still a couple great still more.

1166
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: I mean, if by Jones was raw, yeah, exactly, I mean,

1167
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: that's you're even you know, I hate to even bring

1168
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: him up, but t J. Watt is raw and he's

1169
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: not JJ Watt by any stretch of the imagination. I

1170
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: don't think he's had a sack in a month. But

1171
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:41,439
Speaker 1: he's out there impacting the game. I mean, he's making

1172
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: tackles and rushing the passer and being a part of

1173
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's defense. But is that also because of opportunity as well?

1174
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't seem like tackles out there very much,

1175
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 1: which he would be out there if he was showing

1176
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 1: a pension to do anything. But even with the little

1177
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 1: times that he is out there, every time I see him,

1178
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 1: I don't know why. He just always looks exhaust and

1179
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 1: I know playing this game is exhausting, but I also

1180
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 1: get to see the other guys and they don't look

1181
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 1: like that. And I've been on the sideline and every

1182
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 1: time I see him coming off the field, he's just

1183
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 1: like he just played the biggest game of his life

1184
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: and he's just done with it. I don't know, there's something.

1185
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 1: He just needs more work out there and hopefully play

1186
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: up to his first round pick expectations. All Right, thanks

1187
