Yeah, And so much for that. 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:19.600 It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:25.759 wall with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:31.320 Derek Eagleton. It is Thursday, October nineteenth, twenty seventeen, Season thirteen, 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:33.879 episode number fifty seven. Welcome to another edition of The 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:37.760 Break Live from the s WBC Mortgage Studios. We got 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:39.640 so much to get into today. We didn't get a 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:41.479 chance to get to a lot of our talk yesterday 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:44.839 around San Francisco forty nine ers, but still was a 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.479 good show. Yesterday had an opportunity to have Daniel Wallat 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:50.440 join us to talk a little bit more about the 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.680 legal aspects of Zeke's case, and it sounds like from 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:57.040 what the fans have at least tweeted me, they got 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:58.160 out a lot out of it. So I thought it 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.560 was a good show. But to day we were going 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.000 to focus in on the San Francisco forty niners. Cowboys 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.720 traveled to San Francisco this Saturday and on Sunday at 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.520 three oh five Central time, they'll they'll kick off. Let's 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:12.839 start first with injuries. We had a couple of different 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.560 guys on the injury report that did not practice yesterday, 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:17.840 and I need to get some clarity from you guys 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.680 on whether fans should be concerned about this because he 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:24.000 seemed to be things that keep lingering on. You thought 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:25.920 over bye week, maybe you get out of there and 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:27.679 you have a clean injury report. But there were two 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.919 guys that didn't practice, Chobei A. Woozier and Tyren Smith. 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:35.080 What you we think. I think that especially with Tyron Smith, 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:39.000 that he's gonna get just about every Wednesday off. That's 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.520 just that's it's almost like the Tony Romo plan for him. 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.000 And until he can figure something out, and it's probably 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.920 gonna be in the off season, I would imagine there 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:50.760 could be surgery in his future. I don't know, but 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.520 they're gonna have to manage this the best way they 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:56.600 can and Wednesday after Wednesday's practice is probably more of 0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:01.080 a routine schedule miss for him. I'm not worried about 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.880 Tyron Smith's ability to get ready to play in a game. 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.280 I don't know how you couldn't be worried about Tyron 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:11.160 Smith's like long term future as it stands right now, 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.640 because this is season number three where this has at 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.919 least been a thing where this is I mean, he's 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:20.919 only missed two games ever because of it, but they 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.839 managed him in training camp. He missed two games last year. 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.240 He's had weeks like this where you're sitting him down 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:31.600 and limiting him and it's his back and he's he's 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.520 an offensive line. I mean, you need your back to 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.320 play sports regardless, but like you spend your career in 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.280 a two point stance on the offensive line, so I 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:44.639 need your back for every profession. Yeah, well maybe I 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.000 think you would be a writer with I'm gonna say, 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:48.560 I just sit in a chair all day. I mean 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.480 you have bad back though, the way you sit, no 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:57.600 doubt it's gonna catch It's gonna catch up to you. Kid. 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.320 That was really good. It's really good, really good, And 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:05.079 there's no way that was planned. No, no, it's really good. 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:10.800 But that was flat. That was off the again. Tyrant 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:14.840 Smith is twenty six years old and still has a 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:19.760 large chunk of his contract left. Luckily, it's like the 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:23.120 team friendliest contract in the history of the world. But 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.440 like I said, I just I mean, and I'm not 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.440 saying I'm not saying like he's gonna have to retire 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.600 or anything, or I don't know what's in his future, 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:32.880 but like, how can you not be concerned that he 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.720 keeps showing up on the injury report? And back injuries 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:39.760 are one of those injuries that you can really heal. Like, 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.520 once you have a back injury, you have it for 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:46.040 the rest of your life. So I am concerned about 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:50.320 his future. Again, I don't really know the severity of it, 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:54.280 but just seeing that, yeah, he wasn't able to practice, 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:58.240 but going back to last year, him being out two games, 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.600 and they say, this is a different That's what Garrett 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.080 keeps saying. Yeah, he keeps saying it's different. It's not 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.720 the same, it's not it's he just it's tightness. He 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.880 used the word inflamed yesterday, and and Garrett's sure to 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.280 all he's always sure to say that he's not a doctor. 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.680 And I'm definitely not a doctor, Uh, just an attorney 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:20.159 you've become. I feel like I, unofficially I've never felt 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.520 stupider than I did during that segment on that show yesterday. 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:27.360 So I'm glad. I'm glad the fans. Glad the fans 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:31.720 got something out of it, because I was just like, what, well, Um, 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:35.400 It's like, do you believe that all of Tony Romo's 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.720 back issues were just non related? How he had a 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.280 herniated disc here, and he had another herniated disc, and 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:44.120 he had the transverse process injury, and then he had 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.520 another back. I mean, Okay, there might have been all different, 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.200 but it's all from the same area. So I and 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.920 it's you're talking about, I mean, you have to move here, 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.159 I mean to next point. You gotta move your back 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.520 to play. So it's always if it's something, if it's 0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:59.960 even if it's different things, if your backs just give 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.880 new problems, like, it's not something you can rest or 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.159 really with fix I mean without surgery. I mean yeah, 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.760 surgery might be. But then again, like I said about Romo, 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:11.880 it was then something else, and DeMarcus ware kind of 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.320 was the same way, and they act back. DeMarcus Lawrence 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:19.360 is similar. Don't don't go, don't go any further with that. 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.760 DeMarcus Lawrence he had back surgeries in two consecutive offseasons. 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:25.919 He finally looks like he's over it now. But it 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.000 took a hell of a lot of time. So, like 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.600 I said, I think Tyron Smith will be out there 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.320 against San Francisco and I think he'll play just fine. 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:37.440 But long term, big picture, it's got to be concerning. Yeah. 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.440 And as for Cheeto, I don't even I don't know 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:45.280 what to do with that guy anymore. Um. He it's 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.000 been an issue for him since mid August, and you know, 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.360 he played through the Giants game, he left in the 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.279 Denver game, and every time you think he's coming back, 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.159 he's it's he's had a setback with it. And you know, 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.680 I'm not blaming him for that, but it just is 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:04.040 what it is. Yeah, I don't know if it's a 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.440 good point. I meant he had a setback every time 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.719 he's tried to play. I mean, you know, was it 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.520 the Rams or the Packers. He played the game, but 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.800 they they pulled him because he felt it tightened up 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.280 on it. So I didn't mean, I don't know, it's 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.400 too early to say yesterday as a setback, but it's 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.480 just something that he's been perpetually dealing with since August. 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.800 Garrett said he was going to be on the field limited, 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.320 but they did list him As did not practice. Yeah, 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.440 so we'll see today. Yeah, do you expected maybe he 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:34.360 returns today. I would expect him to be limited today. Okay, 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.239 this is an interesting point though, because we're talking about 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.760 that open roster spot. I do expect them to make 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:44.760 a move. Common sense tells you maybe defensive tackle because 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:48.000 Stephen pie retired, Lewis Neil and Richard Ashe are there. 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.320 But if Cheeto can't get this thing right for the game, 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.880 then maybe you're thinking cornerback. You've got Mark Quaiz White 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.359 sitting there, so you know that gives them something to consider. 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.680 I would imagine that move will probably happen on Saturday. 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.080 That's what teams typically do. So that's something to watch 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.680 right when we're on the plane. Yeah, right, driving too. 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.040 When I like, I'm gonna sit there with my laptop 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.160 on Saturday morning, I'm just gonna sit in me like, 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.120 all right, I'm ready to write this when it happens, 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:16.920 and then finally I'm going to close it and and say, 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:18.560 all right, I gotta go to the airport. And right 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.400 when I turned the ignition on my car, that's when 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:22.960 I'm gonna get the email that you know, it might 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.360 be the smartest thing what's that write it before, send 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.760 it on over to Kent and then hit to the 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.640 airport and say, whenever this breaks, here's your article. It 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.720 sounds like a great plan, like no one's ever thought 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:35.840 about doing that. But you know what, when that happens, 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.360 then they take Darryl Reeves something like that, somebody that 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.760 you would try to stay a step ahead, and you 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.200 still get I had I had a lot, right, three 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.560 or three to five different stories. Let's go all the 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.880 way from this. I'm trying to go out with a 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:53.080 fun time on Friday, still the fifty third roster spot 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.200 after I wrote twelve paragraphs that they signed a Namdi 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.880 awesome wa and then that had to just delete the 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.720 whole thing because the novel idea how about just tweeted 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:03.640 it's the fifty third man on the rock, all right, 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:07.760 that's recorded on the podcast for posterity. So when there's 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.600 no story on Saturday, just playing, I'm just playing, Um, 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.880 is there a reason there's not a story? There a 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:18.600 reason why we didn't cover Marquez White getting called up 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.000 or yeah, Derek, I was driving the A. I try 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.480 to ask questions. I don't assume anything. I like to questions. 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.240 When I end up doing that, like I always think 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.320 of you, and I'm like, you know, it's the better approach. 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.080 It is the better approach because you never know, I've 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:32.760 been burned a few times where I went all in, 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.360 you know, like, hey, why didn't I mean, what's going on? 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.320 You're like? And I thought about it later. I was like, 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.440 I probably should have asked a question rather than just 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.480 like going at people. But so now I asked the really, 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.079 we don't have this story up? Yeah, Charlotte Anderson told 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.920 us not too. Okay, yeah, good idea. Okay, all right, 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:52.040 let's let's jump back in. Let's talk about I guess 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.440 move on to the San Francisco forty nine ers and Dave. 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.480 Yesterday we did a little bit of a breakdown. You 0:08:58.559 --> 0:08:59.959 d gave us a little bit of a scattering port. 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.200 To be honest with you, I kind of missed it. 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.080 You were thinking about what we were doing to get 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.440 our guests on yesterday. It's really hard to talk when 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.800 you know that nobody when you're talking to is not 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:11.520 listening to you. Just so you know, like I'm not 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:15.920 oblivious to that. Trying Okay, you know what, real quick 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.800 it prepares you for marriage, though, So just get there. 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.960 I was thinking, shit, I didn't, but it's so true. God, 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:25.200 I was thinking how you said yesterday, how I was saying, like, 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.920 it doesn't really affect us, the whole Seek thing. But 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.640 look at this week. We haven't talked about the forty 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.000 nine ers yet, and we did spend the whole show 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:36.520 talking about Seek yesterday. So yeah, it affects us. I'm 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.360 just saying, I don't know if it affects everybody in 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.120 the locker room like that, but hey, it's probably a 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:42.960 bit of a distraction. I can give you that. Would 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.640 you like me to redo the offense? Yes, I work 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:48.360 with the defense. Why don't we do this? Why don't 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:51.160 you give us a full team scattering report. Let's or 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.280 better yet, tell you what, Let's start with the offense, 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:55.480 and then once you give us the offense, then I 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.800 want to ask the question to Amber and Nick regarding 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:02.040 the San Francisco offense, what concerns you most? Then we'll 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:03.839 do a scattering report on the defense, and then we'll 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.080 ask the same question to him about the defense. Does 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.320 that sound good? All right? All right, let's go. I'm 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.120 gonna try to abbreviate this because I did do this yesterday. 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.840 Just you can just run because you weren't listening. Fans 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.679 weren't the main thing. I mean, the obvious thing is 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:19.640 that CJ. Beth is going to make his first start 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.960 in this game. And that all sounds well and good. 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:24.400 Tell me how good he is. Well, he's a he's 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.320 a rookie. That's that's my point. Like it sounds like 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:30.120 a favorable matchup, But he came in against a pretty 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:34.560 good Washington team and played really well. I mean, given 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.480 the circumstances. I mean, he comes in, okay, first possessions, 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:41.920 a punt, then he goes touchdown, field goal, missfield goal, touchdown, punt, touchdown, 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.120 and like we said, he had him in position to 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.080 try to set up a game winning field goal, bad penalty, 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.240 ultimately gets picked off to end the game. Does that happen? Sometimes? 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.160 More frequently when a team goes into the week preparing 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.480 for one quarterback, that quarterback comes out another quarterback that 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.760 maybe they didn't prepare for, especially guys they don't have 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:00.760 a lot of tape on, comes in and now can 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:02.200 do a little bit more because you don't know what 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.480 he mean. There's probably something to be said for that, 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.280 But I mean, you're still talking about a rookie and not, 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.520 you know, not a number one overall pick, like he's 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.800 a third round pick. Yeah, then to steal a line 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.160 from Garrett like you would imagine in that scenario, you've 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.480 got steam coming out of your ears because you're thinking 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.560 so hard. Like the fact the fact that an NFL 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.520 defense couldn't take better advantage of him. I mean, he 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.640 might be great, but you would still give the edge 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.719 to the defense and that and let's not forget the 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.560 flip side of that too. Here's a rookie quarterback that 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.959 didn't get any snaps all week, that's coming in there 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.960 and having to play. Maybe he didn't get any snap 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.240 like they may they may have been seen this coming 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.800 going lastainly didn't get as many as the starter. Yeah, 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.040 he might, he might have gotten some. But I would 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.160 really hope Kyle Shanahan didn't set Horyer up to fail 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.000 and just give all the snaps to him, let him start, 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.440 he didn't play well, and then pull him. So. So 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:54.160 the big things to know obvious everybody should know. Carlos Hide, 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.240 he's their second round pick from a few years, A good, 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.800 good player. He's averaging four point two yards per attempt. 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.680 He's Also, it kind of like Zeke in the sense 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:05.440 that I think he could be a really good receiving 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.040 running back, but they don't use him a lot. He's 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.280 got twenty three receptions on the year, although he did 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:15.320 have five once Bethard came into this game. You think 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.360 safety blankets. So is that because they're dropping the ball down. 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.200 That drops the ball down less like a lot of 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.720 swing passes, a lot of like little run and turn 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.000 around and face back to the quarterback. That's kind of 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.400 a good thing for the Cowboys, right good thing for 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:32.280 the Cowboys because right now, I mean that's good good 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:33.880 thing for the Cowboys in the sense that he's looking 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:37.520 for the easy throw, but it's still a dynamic player 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.000 that they're getting the ball to as many ways as possible. 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.400 It's just you know, and yeah, Sean Lee is supposed 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.200 to be back, but if you're not tackling, well, who 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:48.760 cares that? That could be bad stuff. Um. Pierre Garson 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:52.319 is the other guy that everybody should know. Got the 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.600 don't forget to put the little squiggle on this seat. 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:59.199 His last name U Thirty three catches this year, no touchdowns, 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.680 but he's average thirteen yards per catch. He's not a 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.840 big touchdown guy anyway, even when he was with Washington. 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.760 He's like a weird mix between a big play guy 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.040 and a possession guy. Like he's a little bit of both. 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:10.760 A lot of volume for him, like he'll catch a 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.719 lot of balls, he's not like he's not purely explosive 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:17.280 like a DeShawn Jackson, but he's not like this unathletic bum. 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.280 Yeah you know, um, by far the best receiver though 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:24.040 by far, by far, I mean Mark Marquis, Marquis Goodwin, 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:28.400 who's mainly famous for being a track runner, and Aldrick Robinson. 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:33.000 Aldrick Robinson did actually have a big touchdown catch in 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.200 this Redskins game. But he's got He's got nine catches 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.559 on the year on twenty four targets, So that tells 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.760 me they're looking for him on a lot of chunk 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:42.880 plays and they're not really hitting him that much. The 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:44.600 one thing I will say about Marquis Goodwin, and I 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.520 know this because obviously he was a Texas guy, but he, 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.680 like you said, he's a track guy. He can burn 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:50.959 you down. Oh he's fast as they stretched the field 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.720 kind of guy. For sure. He's the everyone's got one 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:57.160 of those though. See but the all right Nick, the 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:01.240 the Condon. The opposite of that argument is that he's 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.560 he's good for like two of those per years, Like 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.400 he's got sixteen catches, could be this week, right, which 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.280 it could. But yeah, he's probably gonna get three looks 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.240 in this game, and one of them will probably be 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.280 on like an eighty yard go route. And you just 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:16.480 hope that your cornerbacks up to the challenge. And what 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.200 you don't want to see is your safety doing the 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.840 handclap like that meant something bad happened. He got loose 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:26.000 in the meantime, Like I said yesterday, like this looks 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.280 like a West Coast offense type of team, just in 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:32.080 the sense of like they love them some twelve personnel. 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:36.320 George Kittle, who's I think a fifth round rookie this year, 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:42.960 and Garrett I can't remember, Jason, Oh no, no no, Garrett Selleck, 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.120 I'm sorry. Yeah, Garrett Selleck is their other tight end. 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.920 They're out there all the time. They use him to block, 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.760 they use him to receive. Kittle's got twenty one catches 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:52.800 this year as a again a rookie, and he's kind 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.200 of there do everything tight end, a lot of a 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.760 lot of passes, near the line of scrimmage. I imagine 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:02.400 that will continue with a rookie being their quarterback. But 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.680 it's just it's it's like a it's a heavy personnel 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:07.680 type of team. Like it looks it looks kind of 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:09.680 old school when you watch them play like it's they're 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.800 not doing that five wide, skinny little receivers at every spot. 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:15.840 They got a lot of a lot of big bodies 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.720 out there. Yeah, it's when you look at them statistically, 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:22.920 they don't do anything particularly well. They're in the bottom quarter. 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:24.760 I mean, they really did in the bottom third, bottom 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:28.600 quarter of the league in almost every offensive statistical category 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:30.520 that you that you look at. The one that stood 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.720 out is rush yards per attempt. There they average four 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:37.360 point two yards per rushing attempt, and that puts them 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:40.320 thirteenth in the league. Again saying that maybe they're not 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:42.880 running the ball enough, but when they do, they've been 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:46.200 fairly successful with it. So that's something worth noting, especially 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:48.560 against this team that has given up something in I mean, 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:50.720 they haven't been great against the run, so that's something 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:52.840 worth noting going into this game. A name that I 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:56.320 also would recommend you know is Matt Breda. He's their 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:58.840 number two running back. He's an undrafted free agent out 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:02.320 of Georgia Southern. He's got thirty four carries for one 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.880 hundred and fifty yards, give or take. He doesn't touch 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:06.880 the ball a lot in a given game, it seems like, 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.680 but when he does, he rips off eight to ten yards. 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:12.400 Like it seemed like every time he touched the ball 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:14.640 he was either catching a short pass and taking it 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:17.040 eight nine yards or just going right through the line 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.120 like he's he kind of took again to quote Garrett, 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.560 he's kind of got that. I hate that. I just 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.320 said that out loud, but I do too. Didn't roll 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.200 off your tongue like it does. It doesn't roll off 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.200 his tongue either. It's not a good catch phrase, but 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.880 it's good on a T shirt. Sure, But he kind 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:34.640 of pops off the tape when you watch him play 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.440 a little bit. All right, cool, Amber, give me one 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:41.240 thing about this offense that concerned you going into this game, Well, 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:44.400 you kind of mention it just now. The running game 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:49.240 kind of interesting to see how they go up against 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:54.400 the Cowboys, especially with a rookie quarterback. I'm assuming or 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.960 I would expect them to rely somewhat on the running 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:02.160 game and the Cowboys fifty percent of the time they've 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:06.800 allowed the opposing team to rush for four plus yards 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:11.240 on their first downs. Now we know that shan Lee 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:13.879 is coming back. I know Shanle is not more fifty, 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:18.480 but is he that fifty percent that this defense is missing? 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:22.760 I don't know. Um. I expect him to make an 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:26.480 impact for sure, but again I'm interested to see how 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:28.760 it plays out with him being back on the field. 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:33.800 It can't it can't just be one guy that fixes everything. 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.720 So we'll see what happens there. So, just to be clear, 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.080 you're saying, at fifty percent of the time on first 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:43.000 down when opponents run the ball, they get four plus yards. Yeah, 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:49.680 that's that's a lot. Oh gotta be gotta be I 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:52.720 don't I don't know, but it's pretty low. It's pretty low. 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.600 Like that's one of their weakest points right now. So 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.080 that again, that's something that concerns me. And we will 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:03.159 see shan Lee back on the field. But everyone, I 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.800 mean I see Twitter, and everyone seems to be expecting 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:10.280 shan Lee to be that huge difference maker and he's 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:14.160 gonna change this defense. I believe in shan Lee and 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.600 I think he's a great player, but again, not everything 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.520 can rely on one single player. Yeah, some of those games, 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:22.560 some of those plays were in Denver. Yeah, the worst, 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:24.720 the worst game they've had all seasons stopping the role 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:27.119 was Endeavering. Sean was playing so and that's not to 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.080 say Sean won't won't give them a big lift. I 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.359 think he will, but he will. But at the end 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:32.560 of the day, I don't know if you can say 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.239 that's gonna fix everything, right. And when you look at 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:39.520 that number, I mean fifty percent considering all the guys 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:43.720 are out there. We'll see how they do, but that 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:45.600 would be an area that I would be on the 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.639 lookout for. I'm gonna push all my chips into the 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:51.720 table and say this for like the eighteen thousandth time, 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:54.399 and I'll look either really good or really bad. But 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:58.159 I think people undersell what it'll mean to also have 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:02.480 Anthony Hitchins there. He's not a Pro Bowl player, but 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:04.680 this will be the first game of the year where 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:07.160 the Cowboys will have both of their preferred top two 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:11.560 linebackers playing. They're both instinctive players, they both know the 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.200 scheme really well. They've played in it. I mean, Shahn's 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:15.720 played in it for four or five years now, and 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.199 Hitchins has only ever played in this scheme. So and 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:20.959 they play fast because of that, right, and they make 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:24.080 a good team together. They're good players, you know, and 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.760 you know they're not going to magically transform into this 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:29.480 elite unit. But they got to be able to stop 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:31.280 the run a lot better than they have and having 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:34.080 those two guys out there should help them do that. Yeah, 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:36.359 stopping the run makes a big difference. The linebackers that 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:39.159 you have there, those two particular, make a big difference 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:41.159 in your ability to stop the run. Nick, tell me 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:44.800 what offensively about the San Francisco forty ninets concern you most? 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.199 Concerns you most. We'll have two points. I didn't know 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:49.280 which way Amber was gonna go, so I wanted to 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:51.919 make sure I covered it up. I'll be brief. The receivers, 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:54.800
