Speaker 3: the United and then I paused and was and everybody

Speaker 3: was like, dang it. I was like, that sucks. I
Speaker 3: was like, I can't get that one back. So I

Speaker 1: I said, universe the president of the University of North.
Speaker 3: Texas, and I said, look, I'm just trying to give
Speaker 3: you a promotion.
Speaker 1: And I was just making a joke, but he followed
Speaker 1: it up.
Speaker 3: He's great, he does a great job, and honestly, I
Speaker 3: admire what he has done with the university. Up he goes,
Speaker 3: I'm not sure people would classify that as a promotion,
Speaker 3: and everybody.
Speaker 1: Was like throwing singers. I love it. But yeah, other
Speaker 1: than that, it was really good. That was a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. That's good man, Thanks for asking. Appreciate But
Speaker 1: the funny thing is you told that story.
Speaker 7: My follow up question prior to you bringing that up
Speaker 7: was what did you what would you have done differently?
Speaker 7: Because I know you you're going to analyze the crap
Speaker 7: out of your performance. I was about to ask that one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wad yeah, just the recD seven seven still
Speaker 4: make the kids.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows, but yeah, that would that would be the one.
Speaker 1: And I also I flubbed a word like in the
Speaker 1: very open.
Speaker 3: It wasn't like major or anything. I just yeah, but
Speaker 3: I would go back and look at it. You're right, though,
Speaker 3: I am. We're pretty correction, Yeah, we are.
Speaker 1: I try and I try and correct what I can.
Speaker 1: All right, Pat, Let's get into some news and notes today.
Speaker 1: We got a lot to talk about.
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, Talking Cowboy starts at nine four. This for
Speaker 5: the comment section.
Speaker 1: Of the comment section, how many people who cares care
Speaker 1: about it? My two? They get upset, but they're still watching.
Speaker 4: Really quickly, here's an every day for you. Shouts out
Speaker 4: to uh nerd Girl as m R. First and foremost,
Speaker 4: give it. Give it to her. Yeah, she says her
Speaker 4: birthday is coming up on Sunday. So in the event
Speaker 4: that we forget to wish nerd Girl as m R
Speaker 4: a happy birthday before the weekends, let's go ahead. Happy
Speaker 4: birth hop in the chat, the fanomly hop in the chat,
Speaker 4: and wish nerd Girl as MR a happy birthday.
Speaker 1: Oh this song, it's a slide whistle. Every time it's.
Speaker 3: Been on that that machine back there since when Beemer
Speaker 3: probably twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: When the Star was built. Probably it's probably been on
Speaker 1: there from the beginning of the students. It's a slide
Speaker 1: whistle every time. It's that. It's my my mind. Okay.
Speaker 4: So news and notes first and foremost is keep in
Speaker 4: mind the Cowboys are finally back on a regular schedule,
Speaker 4: at least for the next two weeks.
Speaker 1: Thank you Jesus. Yeah what that feels like. But here
Speaker 1: we are so that for a second, geta thanking Jesus.
Speaker 1: Now we need to click that. Yeah, we need to
Speaker 1: clip that.
Speaker 4: So Cowboys are back on the practice field today Wednesday.
Speaker 4: They'll get back to it in preparation for the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 4: Practice will be through Saturday morning. Final injury report will
Speaker 4: be issued on Friday, which means the first injury.
Speaker 1: Report will be issued today.
Speaker 4: We will get a good look this afternoon around three
Speaker 4: or four o'clock. As far as the status of several
Speaker 4: people that we're keeping an eye on, most notably Seedy Lambs.
Speaker 1: See.
Speaker 4: Lamb is still working to clear his benchmarks so that
Speaker 4: he can hopefully clear and concussion protocol before the Minnesota
Speaker 4: Vikings come to town. Where it has it as of
Speaker 4: yesterday as well, he's still trending in the right direction.
Speaker 4: Cowboys are optimistic but of course, as we all know,
Speaker 4: and I'll say it again, cowboys have no say in
Speaker 4: the matter when it comes to a concussion protocol, right. So,
Speaker 4: but good news is the Citie Lamb. They've had several
Speaker 4: conversations with him. He's speaking with the medical staff. He's
Speaker 4: he's going through what he needs to go through, and
Speaker 4: he's on the right track. So hopefully he remains on
Speaker 4: the right track. Jadavion Clowney is expected to return to
Speaker 4: practice today, expected to play on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so barn any setbacks, and the same applies to Tyler
Speaker 4: Guidon as well. So Jadeveon Clowney and Tyler Goyten are
Speaker 4: in the same boat in that they are both expected
Speaker 4: to return to action this Sunday night against the Vikings
Speaker 4: as long as there are no setbacks in practice this
Speaker 4: week for either of those guys.
Speaker 1: So that's great news. Is well. Trayvon Diggs, that's.
Speaker 4: The other headliner we will see because Trayvon Diggs was
Speaker 4: a game time decision against Detroit. He did travel, but
Speaker 4: sounds as if they want to see more from him
Speaker 4: in practice before they activated him to the fifty three
Speaker 4: man roster. Now his practice window has already been activated,
Speaker 4: so he's seven days into that twenty one day window
Speaker 4: as we have this conversation, so only fourteen more days
Speaker 4: before they either have to activate him or he ends
Speaker 4: his season on IR Well.
Speaker 5: In Jerry's last available availability before the Detroit game, I
Speaker 5: felt like it was pretty clear that Trayvon was going
Speaker 5: to play in Detroit.
Speaker 1: What was the setback for that? Do we know?
Speaker 4: Honestly, I don't think there was a setback per se,
Speaker 4: and I will just.
Speaker 1: This is a talking cowboy Cowboys Network.
Speaker 3: The playoffs have started, sir, you didn't make the playoff
Speaker 3: fantasy both leagues, Wow, look.
Speaker 1: At you playoffs.
Speaker 4: But no, I wouldn't use the words way because some
Speaker 4: fans will run with the words setback and assume that
Speaker 4: that's what happened physically, But that's not the case. It's
Speaker 4: simply based upon conversations I've had, based upon hearing Shoddy
Speaker 4: Shoty's take on it, hearing Jerry and Stevens's take on it.
Speaker 4: They simply want to see more from him, So it
Speaker 4: sounds like he was close. He was right there, and
Speaker 4: they almost pulled the trigger on it, but they were like,
Speaker 4: you know what, let's give it a few more days,
Speaker 4: which is fine because he literally returned to practice last
Speaker 4: week ahead of that Detroit Nce game, which was a
Speaker 4: Thursday game, so many by. You know, if he doesn't
Speaker 4: return after this many by against the Vikings, then I'm
Speaker 4: going to start kind of flashing a red light on
Speaker 4: that and saying, you know, what's really going on there.
Speaker 1: So we'll see. But the Andrew report.
Speaker 4: Today will tell quite a bit. As far as all
Speaker 4: of those gentlemen I mentioned.
Speaker 5: What would you guys be expecting from Trayvon Diggs in
Speaker 5: the Vikings game? Like particularly, I just want to know
Speaker 5: what you guys are thinking, Like would it be a
Speaker 5: limited snapcount situation or vocational?
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be rotational no matter what happens
Speaker 3: coming back. But it also depends on the health of
Speaker 3: Klin Carson. To a certain extent, Carson's earned some more snaps,
Speaker 3: Trayvon Diggs hasn't necessarily earned more snaps. Has his contract
Speaker 3: has That's kind of where I'm at is at this
Speaker 3: point in time. Has his play warranted him being a
Speaker 3: full time starter?
Speaker 1: Probably not. I would see a rotation.
Speaker 3: He'll be the starter, He'll be the guy that goes
Speaker 3: out there, but I don't think he's going to play
Speaker 3: as much as he has in the past.
Speaker 1: Is that what you want to see or is that
Speaker 1: just what you're expecting?
Speaker 3: What I would want to see, I'll say it with
Speaker 3: my chest. What I would want to see is more
Speaker 3: Klein Carson. So I'm not saying that's going to happen.
Speaker 3: I just think there's more of a rotation than what
Speaker 3: it has been.
Speaker 1: In the past. It's fair.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I think will happen, is more of
Speaker 3: a rotation. I would like to see more Kalin Carson.
Speaker 1: No, I think you're right.
Speaker 4: I mean because we talked about ramping up guys back
Speaker 4: from you know, having missed time all the time, so
Speaker 4: this applies. Yeah, that situation. Trevon Diggs, like Isaiah said,
Speaker 4: say what do we now? Six calendar weeks? Yep, yeah,
Speaker 4: six calendar weeks, five games removed, Yeah, five games removed. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you're not just going to throw him out there and
Speaker 4: assume he's going to give you one of the defensive
Speaker 4: snap count. In addition to trying to make sure that
Speaker 4: you oppose this question to ebra Flus, I believe last
Speaker 4: week and I got another question for you this week.
Speaker 1: Here with flu tomorrow, I asked, tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is tomorrow, I asked, what's the the challenge
Speaker 4: of having a guy like Treylon Diggs come back all pro?
Speaker 4: The contract tied to it, the expectations tied to it.
Speaker 4: Cowboys need to see more from him this season with
Speaker 4: without accidentally curbing the progress of a guy like Savone Revel,
Speaker 4: Kaylyn Carson, because these guys need their reps as well. Well,
Speaker 4: that's why I want to develop right positional coaches and
Speaker 4: just developing young guys as a whole. Okay, well, you
Speaker 4: gotta be you gotta be wise in how you do that.
Speaker 4: That rep count. So the ramp up gives you kind
Speaker 4: of an out to make sure that not only Trayvon
Speaker 4: Diggs is progressing in a way that doesn't force a setback,
Speaker 4: but also still allows you to get Sivone Revel and
Speaker 4: Kaitln Carson on the field with hopefully a healthy amount
Speaker 4: of snaps because those guys have.
Speaker 1: Earned it as well.
Speaker 3: I find it hard to believe that Trayvon Diggs is
Speaker 3: in the future cards for this franchise. That's just my
Speaker 3: guts this off season contract. But that's that's what it
Speaker 3: looks like. I'm just reading the tea leaves is all
Speaker 3: it is is. Contract wise, relationship wise, availability wise, all
Speaker 3: of those signs are pointing in wonder and so if
Speaker 3: that's the case, I'm not that Kayln Carson has been
Speaker 3: a world beater at the cornerback position.
Speaker 1: That's not all. That's not what I'm saying here. I
Speaker 1: see the chat.
Speaker 3: They're like, I've seen enough of Kaylen Carson's to be fair,
Speaker 3: not really. You've seen him banged up, playing through injury,
Speaker 3: and when he was finally healthy, actually played pretty decent
Speaker 3: for a guy who hasn't had a ton of experience, and.
Speaker 1: He's on your roster next year. There's no doubt about
Speaker 1: it to be here. So I want to see it.
Speaker 1: I just want to see it.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's going to be a world beater
Speaker 3: type of performance and he's the corner of the future,
Speaker 3: But I also want to know whether or not a
Speaker 3: one of these first two or two first round picks
Speaker 3: are going to be needed for a cornerback, and I
Speaker 3: need to know if that's a possibility. Opposite of deron plan,
Speaker 3: So let's play what we know, what we're going to have,
Speaker 3: and at some point then those cards will fall where
Speaker 3: they may.
Speaker 1: And for not trying to sound naive.
Speaker 5: But if Trayvon Diggs comes back and he looks like
Speaker 5: the Trayvon Diggs of old and he's a ball hawk
Speaker 5: and fine all of that, Like, is that something that
Speaker 5: you would want to see more of?
Speaker 1: In that case? Are you giving him more steps than
Speaker 1: you would to Kalyn comes back and he's balling, Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course I would love.
Speaker 5: Even though he may he may not be in your
Speaker 5: future cards going into next office.
Speaker 1: He comes back and.
Speaker 3: He balls out for four weeks, which I I just
Speaker 3: don't necessarily see happening, of course, right, but if he does,
Speaker 3: there's no indication that gives you that sign be in.
Speaker 1: Your cards for the future. So I'm cool with it.
Speaker 3: Try out both guys, have both guys take significant nap
Speaker 3: counts and see what's going on.
Speaker 5: Someone is being unusually quiet in terms of the Trayvon
Speaker 5: Diggs conversation.
Speaker 1: Pathically, I agree with Isaiah.
Speaker 5: And I think we need to hear what is one
Speaker 5: koy Isaiah standback.
Speaker 7: Just just just want to make sure that we're in
Speaker 7: the same page. Yeah, we're talking about the highest paid
Speaker 7: defensive player on your on your roster.
Speaker 1: Yeah, currently, Yes, yes, we are trying out. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I just I just stated what I believe.
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure that I'm clear.
Speaker 7: I don't want to assume, Mama, you should always tell
Speaker 7: me that an assumer is not a good thing.
Speaker 1: Can't say that on there. But but I want to
Speaker 1: make sure that we're talking about the same person.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 1: How many weeks? Six six? How many games? Four left?
Speaker 1: Five hundred and fifty eight thousand dollars per game? Right?
Speaker 1: Why why are you watching his pocket? I'm not watching
Speaker 1: it public information. I urge you on a pocket? So
Speaker 1: watching me? And how long it takes me to make
Speaker 1: five hundred fifty eight thousand dollars? How long? Two shows?
Speaker 1: A lot longer than one week? One and a half?
Speaker 1: Did you say two shows? Derek? That's taught clearly, I
Speaker 1: need to read negotiation. There are there are we We
Speaker 1: just got to wait and see. I am with you.
Speaker 1: I already said that. I said this earlier in the week.
Speaker 4: I don't foresee him being on the roster next year
Speaker 4: unless he just comes back and intercepts everything that comes
Speaker 4: his direction.
Speaker 1: I don't forgee it happening. If he comes out and
Speaker 1: balls out and is a lockdown corner.
Speaker 7: Even then, even then, I don't see him staying. Even then,
Speaker 7: I don't see him saying a team. I think it's
Speaker 7: a heating. I don't believe this is my opinion. I
Speaker 7: don't believe that he fits the characteristics of this defense.
Speaker 7: Not even talking about physical attributes. I'm talking about character.
Speaker 7: I'm talking about the team. I don't believe that he
Speaker 7: fits it.
Speaker 3: Characteristics, but impact character in all I don't know the
Speaker 3: man personally like that.
Speaker 1: I don't know him like that. So I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: speaking upon what I've seen.
Speaker 7: I'm speaking upon how i've seen him move, you know,
Speaker 7: whether it be training camp, whether it be around the building, whether.
Speaker 4: It be So that's how I perceive it. Okay, I
Speaker 4: could be completely wrong. That's just my opinion. I don't
Speaker 4: see that fitting here.
Speaker 7: So if he comes back in balls out awesome, Hopefully
Speaker 7: it helps the case and the Cowboys potentially you know,
Speaker 7: very slim chance making the playoffs. But ultimately, if he
Speaker 7: does that, he helps his case in terms of where
Speaker 7: he can go, because I think that they would use
Speaker 7: that as trade.
Speaker 4: I think the bigger question to your point is, all right,
Speaker 4: so we're talking to macro when it comes to trivia
Speaker 4: on Tiggy, let's just let's just make it the micro
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, two things have to
Speaker 4: occur for Treyvon Diggs to remain in the future for
Speaker 4: the Dallas Cowboys. One is he has to return and
Speaker 4: play lights out, Yeah, to show the ball hawk. It
Speaker 4: has to remind them of what is contract, what is
Speaker 4: right exactly. The other thing is is it capable. I'm
Speaker 4: going to say, you can't have one without the other.
Speaker 4: He could come back and ball out. If this other
Speaker 4: piece doesn't doesn't fit, it's still not going to work.
Speaker 4: And that other piece is can he and Matt Eberflus
Speaker 4: get along because and I'm not saying that. I'm not
Speaker 4: saying that they're beefing, Okay, what I'm saying is that
Speaker 4: there's a clear rift between the two that's not being
Speaker 4: it's being managed well.
Speaker 1: But there's this air there. Yeah, there's an air, and
Speaker 1: you can tell that there's an air.
Speaker 4: And if anyone's paying attention, that's not just us walking
Speaker 4: around the building.
Speaker 1: There are fans who've picked up on it.
Speaker 4: And all the fans are getting are ebra Flus's videos
Speaker 4: on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.
Speaker 1: Come I'm still he's locked in. I'm locked I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, bro, just thinking he didn't even leave the
Speaker 1: line of script.
Speaker 5: I'm just I'm.
Speaker 1: A line judge.
Speaker 4: But no, seriously, I think both of those things has
Speaker 4: to happen. Like he has to come back and ball
Speaker 4: out and remind everyone what he's capable of, including the
Speaker 4: front office. But he and ebra Flus again, I'm not
Speaker 4: saying that they're beefing, but it's clear that he and
Speaker 4: nebra Flus are not buddy buddy, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So ebra Flus has to be convinced that he's boughty
Speaker 4: and then at the same time, the Cowboys need to
Speaker 4: be convinced that eber Flus the DC of the future.
Speaker 1: So I mean that they're coming SA but it's even
Speaker 1: beyond that. I agree. Let's add on top of that,
Speaker 1: go back to training camp, but go back to the
Speaker 1: off season. Yes, yeah, Like this isn't just a football
Speaker 1: thing right now, and when you've been bubbling since the summer, since.
Speaker 4: The summer, right so, when you give somebody a contract,
Speaker 4: this is a former player talking.
Speaker 1: When you give somebody a big boy.
Speaker 7: Contract, the largest contract on that side of the ball,
Speaker 7: the big draws that you're paying them, yes, for what
Speaker 7: they've shown you that they can do, but you're also
Speaker 7: paying them for what they can do in the future,
Speaker 7: in the future and the culture that they can impose
Speaker 7: upon everybody else around them. And when you pay somebody
Speaker 7: at the top, there's a responsibility comes with that. It's
Speaker 7: just it's like a quarterback. You pay a quarterback, he's responsible,
Speaker 7: whether he wants to or not, for his actions and
Speaker 7: how he impacts everybody else around him.
Speaker 1: It's just is what it is. It's no different when
Speaker 1: you have.
Speaker 7: The highest paycheck on one side of the ball on defense,
Speaker 7: that comes with it.
Speaker 3: If you can't give a quick example to this, how
Speaker 3: much did we talk about Ceedee Lamb and his ability
Speaker 3: to impact positively the locker room and the guys around
Speaker 3: him as a leader in the room.
Speaker 1: Prior to the contract, we talked about it, said you
Speaker 1: need to see it, you need to see it, you
Speaker 1: need to see it. Finally you saw it.
Speaker 3: Click, then it gets paid and it's taking a step forward.
Speaker 3: He is a leader in the room, Dak. Of course,
Speaker 3: he's a quarterback. That's going to happen regardless. Look at
Speaker 3: the other top quarterback or top contracts.
Speaker 1: But in the building here it's fine.
Speaker 3: But look at the other top contracts on the roster
Speaker 3: right now, Dak Prescott, Ceedee lamb Quinn and Williams, Tyler Smith,
Speaker 3: to Ron Bland, Terrence Steele, oh so Igizua, Kenny Clark,
Speaker 3: Jake Ferguson. Would you say all of those guys are
Speaker 3: leaders at their position?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, absolute percent.
Speaker 3: One guy that's a name in there is Trayvon Diggs.
Speaker 3: Would you agree that he is a leader at his position? No,
Speaker 3: And that's kind of where the conversation is, just to
Speaker 3: add to.
Speaker 7: What it No, I agree, I thank you for that,
Speaker 7: for the information. Yeah, there's nothing else to be said.
Speaker 7: I don't see him for it. I don't foresee and
Speaker 7: be here. I hope that he gets healthy, I hope
Speaker 7: that he comes back and is able to have an impact,
Speaker 7: and I hope that the rest of his career is amazing.
Speaker 1: I just don't foresee it being here. Yeah.
Speaker 3: One thing that we've seen from Brian Schottenheimer in is
Speaker 3: one season now closing in on twelve months of being
Speaker 3: a head coach in the NFL. One thing he has
Speaker 3: consistently shown is that regardless of what the contract situation
Speaker 3: looks like, what the roster status looks like, what your
Speaker 3: ability is off the field, and not even availability or
Speaker 3: whatever that ends up being all of those factors. If
Speaker 3: you can play ball, you're getting snaps. If you're playing ball,
Speaker 3: you can get snaps. With the exception of maybe the linebacker.
Speaker 1: Room with thank you for clarifying yesterday, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Every other spot on the roster you can argue that
Speaker 1: that's been the case.
Speaker 7: And also he's also in him and the rest of
Speaker 7: his organization has put everybody unnoticed. And we said this,
Speaker 7: regardless of what your check says, if you don't fit
Speaker 7: what they want exactly, you're not here. One thing to
Speaker 7: say it, another thing to act on it. And they
Speaker 7: acted on it this year. And we said when that happened,
Speaker 7: everybody's been put on notice.
Speaker 5: Tv D and it's been a tumultuous year for Trayvon
Speaker 5: Diggs to say the.
Speaker 4: Least I'll say this and we'll get to the break,
Speaker 4: and I've said this. I said it when it happened,
Speaker 4: actually before it happened, and I was like, if this
Speaker 4: thing goes left with Micaeh, I don't know how things
Speaker 4: get back right with the organization a Treyvon. Things went
Speaker 4: left with Micah and what do you know? He was, oh,
Speaker 4: all right, yeah, on to QBAL way.
Speaker 3: All right, when we come back here on Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 3: We're going to QB Vision. We're gonna preview the Cowboys
Speaker 3: offense taking on the Minnesota Vikings defense this week.

Speaker 3: no C Walker Josh Rod Reguez first mehim in the
Speaker 3: back of Kyle Yeoman's Let's hand things over to the
Speaker 3: nearly fired Isaiah Camback for some fire on his QB
Speaker 3: vision today. Let's time, let's let's let's hear it sounded.
Speaker 1: Why Eddie, Why Ladie? It's time. It was the problem
Speaker 1: last week is with Isaiah's stand back. All right, it's
Speaker 1: talk about the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 7: There's a defensive coordinator over there who's very well respected.
Speaker 1: Does anybody know his name? What's his name?
Speaker 7: Isaiah B Flow b Flows what they call its.
Speaker 1: Former head coach in Miami. Don't always really liked him.
Speaker 1: I've always liked Beef be Flow his scheme and everything.
Speaker 1: Very very good dude, very admirable individual.
Speaker 4: He says it with his chest at all times and
Speaker 4: stands on business and he doesn't really lie, so things
Speaker 4: kind of come to fruition with him.
Speaker 1: He is impactful.
Speaker 7: He was one of the most respected of his coordinators
Speaker 7: in the league simply because of the fact.
Speaker 1: He does what Josh, He's very good. He's very good.
Speaker 1: He applies pressure. I was like, where are you going,
Speaker 1: Kevin hard commercially hold on and Lebron.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he applies pressure. Be flow, apply applies. It's like,
Speaker 4: where are you going? Want to not lead me anywhere?
Speaker 4: I thought you were there. I thought you caught that
Speaker 4: value John Stockton past.
Speaker 9: You did not set me up for success on that
Speaker 9: mere man, and then you told him the wrong wrong.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like Kyle the best one Car WII
Speaker 1: film is all right, They're all good. He's like foreign, no,
Speaker 1: but let's get to a B.
Speaker 7: Flow applies a lot of pressure, and he does so
Speaker 7: not in the most I'm gonna say most elaborate or
Speaker 7: I wouldn't say creative, but it's it's not what's the
Speaker 7: what's the word I'm looking for?
Speaker 1: I can't even think about the word.
Speaker 7: It's nothing crazy, right, You're not seeing people flying around exotic.
Speaker 1: That's the word I was looking for. Come on, they're
Speaker 1: not exotic looks.
Speaker 7: You know, you face some defensive coordinators and when they're
Speaker 7: doing a lot of things that are confusing, they'll bringing
Speaker 7: guys from the corner. They're bringing guys in a safety position.
Speaker 7: Safety is are running all over the place or at
Speaker 7: the line of scrimmage or running back. You have to
Speaker 7: identify who's coming who's It's not all that these guys
Speaker 7: line up very simplistic.
Speaker 1: It's almost the same look every time.
Speaker 7: They're gonna come out in a three down line or
Speaker 7: they're gonna come out in a four down line, and
Speaker 7: they like to play overhangs with their with their linebackers.
Speaker 7: What I mean by overhangs is if you have a
Speaker 7: four down set, three linebackers, they like to walk their
Speaker 7: outside linebackers on each side outside the tackle box or
Speaker 7: tight end box. They like to ensure that they always
Speaker 7: have a cap on your formation right, meaning that they
Speaker 7: always are looking outside in.
Speaker 1: They don't want to be looking inside out.
Speaker 7: So if you come out in a base formation, two
Speaker 7: tight end set, one tight end down on each side,
Speaker 7: one ride receiver on each side, you're gonna come out
Speaker 7: as gonna be four down linemen, one linebacker outside your
Speaker 7: tight end on each side. It's gonna be one linebacker
Speaker 7: in the middle of the field, and these guys are
Speaker 7: gonna be the too high shell.
Speaker 1: That's it. That's what you're gonna see.
Speaker 7: Now, the question is who's coming exactly, That's always the question.
Speaker 7: Now the look is the look is gonna look simple? Yeah,
Speaker 7: the look is always gonna be simple. But you hardly
Speaker 7: there's slim. I have not been able to pick up
Speaker 7: on an indicator as to what gives away which guy
Speaker 7: is coming right, which guy is going to be the
Speaker 7: one that's bringing pressure. So four man look, I honestly
Speaker 7: think that Dallas has an edge.
Speaker 1: You like what I did there. They have an edge on.
Speaker 7: This edgeless defense because I think that if your interior
Speaker 7: offensive line can get a push, which is difficult against
Speaker 7: these big boys in the middle, because they got they
Speaker 7: got Javon Hargrave, Jonathan Allen, they got some dudes in
Speaker 7: the middle, Jalen Redman too.
Speaker 1: Jesus, they got some big monsters up front.
Speaker 7: That makes it makes it makes them feel confident having
Speaker 7: a light linebacker level.
Speaker 1: That makes sense.
Speaker 7: Right, There's not a lot going on in the middle
Speaker 7: of their defense in terms of numbers, and they feel
Speaker 7: confident in doing that and leaving that vacant because these guys.
Speaker 1: Are hard to move up front.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they play sound at linebacker, though.
Speaker 7: They do play sound at linebacker. They're aggressive at linebacker,
Speaker 7: but those linebackers are typically outside again, outside the box.
Speaker 7: If you can move these big mountains up front, which
Speaker 7: again is gonna be that's a challenge in itself.
Speaker 1: With those three monsters up front.
Speaker 7: You can run the ball because it's like waves, right,
Speaker 7: anybody ever played hord mode on Gears of War.
Speaker 1: It's like.
Speaker 7: You take out the first wave and then you expect
Speaker 7: another wave coming right, Yeah, these guys have one wave.
Speaker 4: So it's that it's that front line. That front line
Speaker 4: is solid. It's a solid wall.
Speaker 7: But if you can get and you can get a
Speaker 7: crack and get in past that front line, there's a
Speaker 7: lot of space. There's nobody there waiting for you at
Speaker 7: the second level, right, you might have to break one tackle.
Speaker 7: So that's that would be my suggestion and hope for
Speaker 7: Dallas that they can effectively run the ball, especially when
Speaker 7: they come out in this four to three.
Speaker 1: Look those four.
Speaker 7: Down linemen again with somebody walking on the outside looking in,
Speaker 7: really really ready to put their hands on the tight ends.
Speaker 7: Where I believe that their most dangerous is when they
Speaker 7: come out in their three four look. The reason why
Speaker 7: I think they're the most dangerous in that three four
Speaker 7: look is because they typically like to go to that.
Speaker 7: It varies based upon their opponent, right, I don't understand.
Speaker 7: They ran a lot of three four versus the Green
Speaker 7: Bay Packers, and they were able to get a lot
Speaker 7: of pressure against the green Packers. I think they saw
Speaker 7: something on film leading up to that game that gave
Speaker 7: them a boat of confidence that they can get pressure
Speaker 7: on Jordan Love all game long, which they did. The
Speaker 7: reason why I foresee I think it's dangerous because they
Speaker 7: come out in that three man front. When you think
Speaker 7: about three four defense, you think that there's gonna be
Speaker 7: a lot of running lanes. Not the case with these guys.
Speaker 7: They come out with a their nose tackle who is
Speaker 7: right over your center zero tech. They take their other
Speaker 7: two tackles. They walk them out to five techs, which
Speaker 7: places them between your guard and your tackle. Now they
Speaker 7: walk linebackers up into the a gap, old school Mike
Speaker 7: Zimmer style. All right, old school Minnesota South and we know, yep,
Speaker 7: they walk those linebackers up. So you have two linebackers
Speaker 7: that walk up to the a gaps, and you also
Speaker 7: have your other linebackers that walk out to the edge
Speaker 7: to still make sure that the cap is on top
Speaker 7: of the formation.
Speaker 4: And they got some fast lineback They have very van
Speaker 4: Vingel those guys. I like him a lot, van Gingkle.
Speaker 4: I've always liked him as a player. Now, who's coming?
Speaker 4: Which guys got you don't know?
Speaker 1: You truly don't know.
Speaker 7: So that no indicate your center can't turn to each
Speaker 7: either direction. Your guards are forced to turn out because
Speaker 7: those five techniques are sitting on their outside shoulder.
Speaker 4: Your left guards he's out his left shoulder. Your right
Speaker 4: guard he's on the right shoulder. So your center's locked up.
Speaker 4: Your guards have to turn out. But yet you have
Speaker 4: two linebackers on each side of the center. Creates a
Speaker 4: lot of huge problem.
Speaker 7: Now, usually both guys don't they don't they don't bring
Speaker 7: pressure with both linebackers.
Speaker 1: One of those guys is dropping out. But who has
Speaker 1: to block that man?
Speaker 7: If your center's locked up, your guards are occupied, who
Speaker 7: has to block that individual?
Speaker 1: You're talking running back, the running back has to stuff
Speaker 1: to pick him up. Your running back.
Speaker 7: Now, being that he's so close to the quarterback, it
Speaker 7: kind of impedes the progress of a quarterback's drop, makes
Speaker 7: it very difficult. Right, So, because he's right on the
Speaker 7: outside shoulder the center, he can't the center.
Speaker 1: Can't go anywhere your line.
Speaker 7: Your running back is now being forced to try to
Speaker 7: hurry up and get up to the line of scrimmage
Speaker 7: meet that linebacker stop his progress while without impeding your
Speaker 7: quarterbacks drop or iih leaders to throw or timing makes
Speaker 7: it very hard. So, even though these are very simplistic looks.
Speaker 4: They create challenges because the communication and the execution of
Speaker 4: your blocks has to be on point.
Speaker 1: It will look the exact same.
Speaker 7: Almost every single play, but this hey, Josh, you're going
Speaker 7: this time. Hey you know no, see you're going this time.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 7: They don't know either way. Your running back is freaking
Speaker 7: looking all day long. He can't get out in routes.
Speaker 7: He has to block into a gaps, and your tackles
Speaker 7: and your guards have to communicate so well because guys
Speaker 7: are walked up, they're dropping out right now, another guy's
Speaker 7: coming and you got to get your eyes to the side.
Speaker 7: It's a lot going on without it looking like a
Speaker 7: lot going on, right, So it's very simplistic for them
Speaker 7: to run and it allows for them to play fast defensively.
Speaker 1: That's their front line.
Speaker 3: Can I ask a question, Yeah, have you gotten to
Speaker 3: the blitz percentage yet?
Speaker 1: Have you talked? You know what?
Speaker 7: You're going to get to that album? I'm sure that
Speaker 7: my analytics guy will will get to that. I don't
Speaker 7: even have to look at its high Okay, Yeah, so
Speaker 7: I think it's the highest one top it like forty.
Speaker 1: Nine percent blitz rate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, on the season, that's eight percent higher than any
Speaker 3: other team in the league forty nine, So that.
Speaker 5: That seems like a lot Kyle half the time they
Speaker 5: are blitzing.
Speaker 7: Now when they say when you say blitz, that means
Speaker 7: that they're bringing one x one extra guy and you
Speaker 7: don't know who that guy is.
Speaker 3: Don't know because of the disguise and because of the
Speaker 3: way that they line up at the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 3: Based off of what you're just saying, when you look
Speaker 3: at Dak Prescott, what's one of the things that he's
Speaker 3: been very good against throughout his career.
Speaker 7: Dack Prescott has one hundred and forty some odd percent
Speaker 7: a completion or a QB rating versus.
Speaker 3: Blitz one zero six QB rating against the blitz ninety
Speaker 3: seven point six against without a blitz, with no blitz,
Speaker 3: So he's been better against the blitz than he has
Speaker 3: been without it. Does that change any kind of thinking
Speaker 3: from Brian floores his sort of scheme, sort of scenario
Speaker 3: this week, knowing that he's gone up against the quarterback
Speaker 3: that can read and decipher and change the blitz in
Speaker 3: order to have some success.
Speaker 1: No, because these blitzer are different.
Speaker 7: Okay, as what I'm saying versus normal Again, I'm not
Speaker 7: saying what Dak Canner can't do. Sure, but typically blitzes
Speaker 7: aren't not coming this close to your center. Typically blitzers
Speaker 7: are walking offline backer. He's able to identify it or
Speaker 7: outside pressure coming from the edge.
Speaker 1: I can see it, I can check to it.
Speaker 7: This is different identifiable, I mean, these are these are
Speaker 7: identifiable as well. But even when you identify it, my
Speaker 7: guards are occupied, my center's occupied. There's nobody that could
Speaker 7: turn these guys unless we just squeeze. Right now, if
Speaker 7: we can't just squeeze every every dog on press every protection,
Speaker 7: because now they can start bringing guys from the outside.
Speaker 7: So there's really you're gonna you're in a deal, no pickle,
Speaker 7: you know, so like they have to figure that out.
Speaker 7: But I can't stress enough. Guard play guard, play guard play.
Speaker 7: If your guards don't have the game of their life,
Speaker 7: it's gonna be a problem.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a problem.
Speaker 7: Now if they if they have a great game, you
Speaker 7: can you can take care of these guys. Defensively shouldn't
Speaker 7: be a problem, but the communication has to be on point.
Speaker 7: That's their front line. That's where they propose problems to me.
Speaker 7: Their secondary. It's too high shell. These guys are.
Speaker 1: Playing cover two, Cover four, Cover six, Cover two.
Speaker 7: Your corner stay up up, playing five yards off three defenders,
Speaker 7: dropping undernave two safeties over the top, responsible for the
Speaker 7: half Cover four. You have four guys playing in the secondary.
Speaker 7: Those guys are all playing a quarter of the field.
Speaker 7: They can play it out on the outside like they're
Speaker 7: playing man right. It doesn't have to look like off
Speaker 7: pressure off covers all the time. They could come up
Speaker 7: and press and still be responsible for their quarter of
Speaker 7: the field. Quarter cover six. One side is playing cover
Speaker 7: two right true cover two. The other side is playing
Speaker 7: cover four, and that's usually relatively easily identifiable by them
Speaker 7: But what they're trying to do is they're trying to
Speaker 7: play off bind but don't break defense and saying you
Speaker 7: can't beat us over the top. We're gonna make you
Speaker 7: throw before you want to throw under pressure, and we're
Speaker 7: planning to get tips and overthrows or we're gonna get sacks.
Speaker 7: That's what they want to do. They want you playing
Speaker 7: as a shell of who you are. You can't if
Speaker 7: you run a five step or seven step drop. We
Speaker 7: want you running three step right. We want you to
Speaker 7: speed up everything. You don't really run your routes at
Speaker 7: twelve to fourteen yards. You're running them at five today. Buddy,
Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying that that's what they want
Speaker 7: you to do. So if you could run slants butt
Speaker 7: naked open all day long, the middle of the field
Speaker 7: is wide open because those linebackers are not again, they're
Speaker 7: not at their traditional positions right there. Yes, slants, you say,
Speaker 7: like George Bakons, he's pretty good at that. However, put
Speaker 7: some respect on the on their number seven. Put some
Speaker 7: respect on number seven. Not for number of reasons, numerous reasons.
Speaker 1: I know he said. He said their number seven. Byron
Speaker 1: Junior is a dude, where did he go to school?
Speaker 1: He's a dude.
Speaker 7: He's a dude, so put some respect on him. Harrison
Speaker 7: Smith's been around for one hundred and twenty two years.
Speaker 7: He's still a great player. That's what I that's what
Speaker 7: I see. That's what I got. Dallas communicates well, and
Speaker 7: they execute their assignments in the blocking scheme, especially the
Speaker 7: running backs and guards.
Speaker 1: They have good games.
Speaker 4: You have a good day, and can this this Vikings
Speaker 4: offense and defense this team as a whole.
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about the offense tomorrow.
Speaker 4: But all to Isaiah's point, I need everyone to understand that, yes,
Speaker 4: the Vikings are losing a lot of games recently, the
Speaker 4: whooping they put on the Commander's notwithstanding. Okay, but outside
Speaker 4: of that, which is an anomaly, this defense has kept
Speaker 4: them in every almost every single game. Yeah, Okay, they
Speaker 4: have a couple of outliers. I think, like the Chargers
Speaker 4: or whatever. It kind of feels like the Cardinals going
Speaker 4: into it. It kind of feels like this is a
Speaker 4: defense that it's just not good. Is averaging throughout their
Speaker 4: losses only or less than twenty six points allowed per game? Yeah,
Speaker 4: and that's given the fact that who did they blow
Speaker 4: up against they had. I think the Chargers dropped thirty
Speaker 4: plus on them. They had two games that were kind
Speaker 4: of outliers, that kind of race that. So for the
Speaker 4: most part, you could say, if you remove those games,
Speaker 4: they're averaging in the low twenties as far as points allowed.
Speaker 5: And in that time you had really terrible quarterback play
Speaker 5: which put the defense into vicarious positions.
Speaker 4: Right, they're averaging in those losses and we're talking about
Speaker 4: the offense tomorrow less than thirteen.
Speaker 1: Points a game. Yeah, yikes, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So point being, to Isaiah's point, the Cowboys win this
Speaker 4: game if let's say numbers wise, if they scored more
Speaker 4: than twenty seven points, they if the Cowboys score more
Speaker 4: than twenty seven points against his defense in the Vikings,
Speaker 4: feel pretty good about it. Cowboy shall walk away with
Speaker 4: a win. Yeah, I think that's the magic number. Twenty
Speaker 4: seven plus get you a win against the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 3: Can I ask you about Eric Wilson, linebacker twenty seven
Speaker 3: pressures since Week six, that was their bye week. No
Speaker 3: other off ball linebacker in the NFL has more than
Speaker 3: twelve pressures in that same time span, So he's had
Speaker 3: fifteen more pressures than any other off ball linebacker in
Speaker 3: the league. Is this just scheme or is he a
Speaker 3: good solid linebacker that you have.
Speaker 1: To be aware.
Speaker 7: I think all their linebackers are solid, Okay, I really
Speaker 7: think so. I think there are All their linebackers are balls.
Speaker 7: Are wall linebackers.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's just and Wilson by the way, for those
Speaker 3: that are going to be watching on Sunday fifty five,
Speaker 3: Yes is what he wears.
Speaker 7: Not no indictment on him as a player. I think
Speaker 7: all their linebackers are good players. I think all their
Speaker 7: linebackers are freaking cut the cord type guys, Like freaking
Speaker 7: tensions on that cable. You cut the cable, and those
Speaker 7: guys are wing when they're hitting you.
Speaker 5: Right sound and you have a lot of position flex
Speaker 5: with them like you like you're saying, they can rush
Speaker 5: and they can cover. And it's not that they're astounding
Speaker 5: in any of those particular areas more than the other.
Speaker 5: It's just that they're kind of good at all of
Speaker 5: those things.
Speaker 7: They're really like they're like super athletic, is super quick,
Speaker 7: their first five yards is nasty. Like they're not necessarily
Speaker 7: the like world beaters when it comes to open fields.
Speaker 7: You know, tackles and all this stuff. But like those
Speaker 7: in that box, they ain't own that box. Now, like
Speaker 7: them guys can go five yards and you're asking them
Speaker 7: to beat one guy. Oh they're gonna do that. You're
Speaker 7: asking them to play in the gap and get to
Speaker 7: the quarterback. They are going loose cannon. I'm diving grabbing
Speaker 7: Biden shoelaces with my teeth like whatever.
Speaker 1: It is. Like that's the type of guys they have.
Speaker 7: And when you have those, and this goes back to
Speaker 7: my point prior to getting Quinn Williams on the team.
Speaker 7: When you have solid interior defensive linemen, it makes those linebackers'
Speaker 7: job so much easier. I can't stress enough. Javon Hargrave,
Speaker 7: Jonathan Allen, Jalen Redman.
Speaker 1: These are big dudes.
Speaker 4: They're not just big dudes. Jonathan Allen very familiar with
Speaker 4: Johnthan Allen. Dominant defensive linement. Hard Grave has been around
Speaker 4: for a while, very dominant. Jalen Redman, big, big, old
Speaker 4: old school looking no right number two sixty one.
Speaker 1: But I mean you see him looking like clay Face
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 4: You'll see him lockup with but you'll see him lock
Speaker 4: up with your cinner and he just he's occupying that
Speaker 4: one guy, and you think you can run by him,
Speaker 4: He'll just put one arm out and just snatch you
Speaker 4: up by your whole face.
Speaker 7: Right, He's just He's just one of those big, nasty dudes.
Speaker 7: It's hard to move, so center and guard play has
Speaker 7: to be exceptional otherwise this is gonna be a rough night.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and guys, I know they just had a shut
Speaker 5: out against the Commanders, but I think a large part
Speaker 5: of that. I mean, granted, that's shocking, right, shutting out
Speaker 5: a team like the Commanders, But they may have brought
Speaker 5: Dan Daniels back a little too soon. And the reason
Speaker 5: why I say that is he had nine completions on
Speaker 5: twenty attempts.
Speaker 1: Not good. Not good, Bob.
Speaker 5: This is a guy that just had a dislocated elbow
Speaker 5: earlier in the season and coming back with three weeks
Speaker 5: after that, maybe four. It's I think that they put
Speaker 5: him at a large disservice to his team getting him
Speaker 5: out there that soon. Granted, he looked fine in the
Speaker 5: hard knocks or whatever, but it was I don't.
Speaker 1: Think this was the team to bring him back against.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a team that blitzes half the time speeds
Speaker 4: up the clock for guy, a young guy, a second
Speaker 4: year guy who was returning and trying to get his
Speaker 4: his sea legs back.
Speaker 1: As far as the speed of the game. Again, that
Speaker 1: being said, they've never done that in Washington.
Speaker 3: They've never taken an offensive rookie of the year that
Speaker 3: won a Heisman in college and brought him back too
Speaker 3: quickly when they needed him to come back from injury.
Speaker 1: But they've never done that. Had three and nine, What
Speaker 1: are you doing? He's never done that. Robert Griffin. Third,
Speaker 1: I don't think that's ever hound here right now is
Speaker 1: all of Baylor outside right because Chris Beams brought it
Speaker 1: back off all right?
Speaker 3: When we come back here on talking Cowboys. Isaam mention

Speaker 1: composed to I could have said socks, could have I
Speaker 1: could have, But then you will Josh. Isaiah's literally looking
Speaker 1: up photo. It's the captain. We gotta keep going.
Speaker 3: We don't have enough time for this, all right, Cowboys
Speaker 3: offensive line when it comes to this week against the.
Speaker 1: That's that's that's that's supposed. I hate this. The Cowboys
Speaker 1: offensive line against the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 3: Facing the Blitz, facing those different linebackers, and facing especially
Speaker 3: the big guys up front. Is this a good week
Speaker 3: to get back on track for the Cowboys offensive line
Speaker 3: or is this gonna be one where they may struggle
Speaker 3: a little bit?
Speaker 1: Nope, all right, guys, I'll see you later.
Speaker 4: It's the test that they need after the test that
Speaker 4: they failed. That's the best way to put It's the
Speaker 4: test they need after the test. I like that, like
Speaker 4: that too, and I did, Josh. But I had a
Speaker 4: conversation with Cooper Bby.
Speaker 5: God an exclusive interview from the locker room.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't even opened yesterday. It was on Tuesday. No,
Speaker 1: it was on it was today Wednesday. It was on Monday.
Speaker 1: It was on Monday. Yeah. So, and it's up on
Speaker 1: the dot com dot com swallow Faster. So.
Speaker 4: So, speaking with Cooper Bby and Tyler Booker, a couple
Speaker 4: of things. I love how candid they were, two young
Speaker 4: leaders of the offensive line. They didn't pull any punches.
Speaker 4: Here's a quote from Cooper Bby, very very transparent, he said,
Speaker 4: and our quote. We didn't have the kind of energy
Speaker 4: that we had been playing with in the last two
Speaker 4: games at home. I felt like we didn't have that
Speaker 4: kind of edge. We're trying to figure out why that was,
Speaker 4: but that's the biggest thing. I just didn't feel like
Speaker 4: we had that same fire, same juice when we played
Speaker 4: the Eagles and the Chiefs at home.
Speaker 1: End quote.
Speaker 4: I think that's very key to note because that's really
Speaker 4: what's going to be the first and primary determinant on
Speaker 4: if they can pass this test after failing last week's
Speaker 4: to us. Right now, there are variables, and I'm not
Speaker 4: going to make any excuses for it, because they get
Speaker 4: paid to go out and do it, So go out
Speaker 4: and do it, bottom line. But it's also true that
Speaker 4: they had played so many games in a short period
Speaker 4: of time. It felt like they were flat in Detroit.
Speaker 4: It felt like they were playing tired in Detroit. Hate
Speaker 4: to say it, no excuses because you needed that game.
Speaker 4: Absolutely got bailed out by the Philadelphia Eagles losing in
Speaker 4: the way they did against the Chargers. So now here's
Speaker 4: a mulligan. Here's a mulligan for your offensive line. And
Speaker 4: Tyler Booker said, this offense will go as as we
Speaker 4: go as we take it. So the two young two
Speaker 4: of the young horses, Tyler Smith being another one of
Speaker 4: the horses in the interior. You talk about how important
Speaker 4: it is for this offensive interior to win this game.
Speaker 4: We're talking about Cooper BB, Tyler Smith and Tyler Booker,
Speaker 4: and having spoken with Tyler Booker and Cooper BB looks
Speaker 4: as if they understand not just that they because you
Speaker 4: hear the things about, oh well, we need to bounce
Speaker 4: back and we need to do this. They've identified that
Speaker 4: they came out flat. They identified to their quote, they
Speaker 4: didn't have the same juice, they didn't have the same energy,
Speaker 4: they didn't come out with the same fight. I expect
Speaker 4: that to change in a big way this Sunday. Really,
Speaker 4: I expect. I expect the energy and the juice. Now,
Speaker 4: as far as the anxious and ols, that's TBD, but
Speaker 4: I do expect. I expect that they will come out
Speaker 4: with a fire, especially having admitted openly on the record,
Speaker 4: I respect that they didn't have that in Detroit.
Speaker 1: I respect that. So now they know we're checking for that.
Speaker 7: This is this is the most challenging interior defensive line
Speaker 7: as a whole, that they are going to go against
Speaker 7: all your line all year a year, for.
Speaker 1: The rest of the year electively.
Speaker 3: Yes, not including the first fourteen weeks you're talking about
Speaker 3: from here on out.
Speaker 7: No, I'm just talking about as far as like their
Speaker 7: challenges collectively as a unit, those three guys on the
Speaker 7: inside collective, it's as good as it's the best have
Speaker 7: they seen collectively over the Eagles. Yes, the Eagles have
Speaker 7: a dominant one person, and they have Jordan Davis is
Speaker 7: another big boy.
Speaker 1: Who's who's a hoss? Right, there's two, this is three. Okay,
Speaker 1: three is great. They don't have one dominant guy.
Speaker 7: Interesting, but all three guys collectively as a unit, it's
Speaker 7: the most challenging that these three guys are gonna face.
Speaker 1: I could see it. I see what you're because.
Speaker 7: When you're playing against the Eagles, you have opportunity to
Speaker 7: double one of those guys and feel like you can go.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Jane Carr is a dominant player.
Speaker 1: You could double team. This is head up. This is
Speaker 1: head up. Each one of the all.
Speaker 7: Three offensive interior linement have their own battle. They can't
Speaker 7: help each other. That's the difference.
Speaker 1: We'll see how that turns out.
Speaker 3: Coming up on Sunday tomorrow, we're gonna preview the Cowboys
Speaker 3: defense up against the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 4: Wait, also tomorrow, we're also going to give them more
Speaker 4: topics to discuss in the chat.
