Speaker 6: We've got Patrick Nosey Walker, Josh Rodriguez, and Tommy Yarish
Speaker 6: to break down this Week three matchup for the Dallas
Speaker 6: Cowboys again those Chicago Bears.
Speaker 3: Bears beam in the back. I'm Kyle Yeoman's glad you're
Speaker 3: with us.
Speaker 6: It is a return to Chicago for one Matt Eberflus.
Speaker 6: And today we previewed the Dallas defense against that.
Speaker 3: Chicago Bears offense.
Speaker 6: And so we'll talk about Kayleb Williams, Romeya Dunz, a,
Speaker 6: Colston Loveland and a couple of those other guys that
Speaker 6: they play in the Chicago Bears def or excuse me,
Speaker 6: offense going up against Matt Eberflus, their former head coach.
Speaker 6: Pat you got to matching blues on today, I'll do
Speaker 6: I like it.
Speaker 3: So who is this guy?
Speaker 2: So I we're going to get you up to speed?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like yesterday my mentions on Twitter were
Speaker 6: nothing about like football, It was all about.
Speaker 3: Why how did you not know who macho Man is?
Speaker 3: How did you not?
Speaker 6: Just for reference, after the show was over, Josh made
Speaker 6: me pull up a clip and I do recognize Randy Savage.
Speaker 6: Macho Man, Macho Man Savage. Right, Yes, that's how you're
Speaker 6: supposed to say.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just didn't know this specific.
Speaker 7: That's not how you're supposed to say it.
Speaker 3: Randy. Oh wait what is it?
Speaker 7: Are you supposed to do the macho man voice?
Speaker 3: Well, okay, so I can't do the voice cho.
Speaker 7: You're supposed to do the whole thing.
Speaker 3: I didn't know if you.
Speaker 6: Wanted like a PA like like you said announcer announcer Savage, that.
Speaker 7: You could do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how I'm going to introduce.
Speaker 2: I really want to hear Kyle as a heel commentator.
Speaker 8: Now, really, he would be excellent at it. He would
Speaker 8: be a good heel commentator. Be Cody Graves, he'd be
Speaker 8: weight Beard. I could I could see.
Speaker 7: I could see you getting stunned in the middle of
Speaker 7: the ring. Not for any particular reason.
Speaker 5: After after the show, remind me to show you some
Speaker 5: clips of Waite Beard and uh and Corey Graves.
Speaker 2: You will see what I mean. You would exist.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 5: So we do have one quick news and note Cowboy
Speaker 5: Cowboys do have that active excuse me, available roster spot
Speaker 5: on the practice squad after activating Ryan Flinoyd last weekend.
Speaker 5: They're looking to fill that today with offensive lineman Wesley French.
Speaker 5: He joins the Cowboys. He was previously undrafted free agent
Speaker 5: signed out of Western Michigan to the Indianapolis Coats and
Speaker 5: at the time, guess who was employed by the Coats
Speaker 5: offensive coordinator Clayton Adams. So obviously French joins the Cowboys
Speaker 5: to try to provide some depth with Cooper bb going
Speaker 5: on IR for what could be up to six to
Speaker 5: eight weeks, and he'll be behind Brock Kauffman and TJ.
Speaker 2: Bass.
Speaker 5: So just one quick little little note there. Transaction Cowboys
Speaker 5: going to do.
Speaker 3: Today Tommy, what do you seen when it comes to French.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think you know, I always think back to
Speaker 9: Brian Schottenhamber told us a training camp is you know,
Speaker 9: we saw TJ. Bass taking reps at center and it
Speaker 9: was like, oh, you know, what do you see there?
Speaker 9: And he just loves having guys who can snap the football,
Speaker 9: and he wants depth in that position because something happens
Speaker 9: to your center. You know, that snap is not necessarily
Speaker 9: the easiest thing to have down sometimes, especially when your
Speaker 9: starter and your quarterback have things down pat So he
Speaker 9: likes having depth in terms of guys who can play center.
Speaker 9: You've got that in Trevor Keegan, who was listed on
Speaker 9: the unofficial Death Chart as the backup center to brock Hoffman.
Speaker 9: Now TJ. Bass will be another guy that's kind of
Speaker 9: in the mix there. And now you've got Wesley French.
Speaker 9: He's undrafted twenty twenty two out of Western Michigan, spent
Speaker 9: his first three seasons with the Colts. He's played in
Speaker 9: seventeen games, I believe throughout his career so far. So
Speaker 9: just another guy that you can have and and and
Speaker 9: trust to snap the football. And now it's all about
Speaker 9: building raport with Dak Prescott and the quarterbacks and getting
Speaker 9: things worked and out well.
Speaker 5: And to answer your question with the other news. And
Speaker 5: note this gentleman's name is Gokure.
Speaker 2: That cultured. It is the culture right here, all right there.
Speaker 3: Yeah he's on the laptop. And oh that's right, I
Speaker 3: remember that. Now.
Speaker 2: These are just different levels. Yeah, there's just different levels.
Speaker 5: This is like the powers. This is more powerful level.
Speaker 5: And the one on the laptop.
Speaker 3: Are you familiar with him?
Speaker 8: No, I don't watch I don't watch backward cartoons, dude.
Speaker 7: I'm all right, dude, I said, go read your backwards cartoons.
Speaker 5: Should not to be able to read a manga from
Speaker 5: right to left.
Speaker 7: I'm not priving to backs cartoons.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 6: I called it a cartoon just the other day when
Speaker 6: we were up top and we were talking about anime,
Speaker 6: and I was like, I'm not big in the cartoons,
Speaker 6: and they both whipped around so that he tried to tried.
Speaker 6: I winked at uh at Patrick so he didn't jump
Speaker 6: off sides. Tommy was like, fifteen yards in the back,
Speaker 6: can we fire?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It was really fun. I was Sam Williams in twenty two.
Speaker 8: Not necessarily I was ready to jump there. Dragon ball
Speaker 8: Z I can get down with for the most part.
Speaker 6: But like I started start, well, you talk about rare
Speaker 6: in the go, Like we talked about right at the
Speaker 6: beginning of the show, Maddy Iberflues makes his return to Chicago,
Speaker 6: and one thing that stuck out to me in Brian
Speaker 6: Schottenheimer's early press conference this week, Josh is the fact
Speaker 6: that he said it's not worth it. He's been in
Speaker 6: this BOZI going up against other head coaches or other
Speaker 6: spots where he's been.
Speaker 3: A part of that organization before.
Speaker 6: He said he he's been a part of teams that
Speaker 6: have gone to Seattle, tried to do too much and
Speaker 6: then gotten his butt kicked.
Speaker 3: Same thing with New York. Yeah, same thing with some
Speaker 3: of those other stops.
Speaker 6: And he said he shared that message within the defensive
Speaker 6: room this week.
Speaker 3: Do you agree?
Speaker 6: Is this an opportunity for Matt Eberflus, coming off of
Speaker 6: a down game for his defense to say, let's not
Speaker 6: do too much.
Speaker 3: We got to get back to the basics.
Speaker 8: How could you not feel a little type of way
Speaker 8: about going into Chicago, the team that fired you after
Speaker 8: an embarrassing season, you know, in the middle of the season.
Speaker 8: Come on, man, of course, you're going to feel a
Speaker 8: little bit of that. But I think what Schottenheimer is
Speaker 8: saying is just stay focused. Just stay focused on the
Speaker 8: job at hand, the task at hand, and make sure
Speaker 8: your guys are ready to go. It's not necessarily about you.
Speaker 8: It's about your guys that are on the team. But
Speaker 8: we've seen it before, man, Like you know, McCarthy had
Speaker 8: a few matchups against Green Bay that did not go
Speaker 8: well for us. Obviously they had his number. It wasn't pretty.
Speaker 8: We've seen this a few instances of I mean specifically
Speaker 8: that division. But I'm saying, like this is just too
Speaker 8: critical of a game. This is probably one of the
Speaker 8: easiest games you'll play over the next few weeks.
Speaker 2: Of course you're were it easy?
Speaker 7: I mean when.
Speaker 8: You're looking at the schedule, that's what that's what you're getting.
Speaker 7: I know, it's a young season.
Speaker 3: I mean winnable. Yeah, let's not say easy. Let's say winnable.
Speaker 7: The more nothing's easy in this league. Yeah, winnable.
Speaker 2: Sunday was supposed to be easy, right, That's what I.
Speaker 7: Mean exactly exactly.
Speaker 8: So I just think there's a lot at stake here
Speaker 8: and you just have to be focused on the task
Speaker 8: at hand, That's where I'm at with this. Of course,
Speaker 8: the Refluce is going to feel a ways about it.
Speaker 9: What do you think, Tom, Yeah, I think naturally as
Speaker 9: a competitor, you know, when you when you have the
Speaker 9: three year stretch that Mattyberflues did in Chicago where really
Speaker 9: there was no continuity, nothing went right. I don't think
Speaker 9: the Bears did a good job hiring a staff around
Speaker 9: him in twenty twenty four, his last season. There You've
Speaker 9: got a rookie quarterbackers the number one overall pick, and
Speaker 9: you feel like you've done a really good job to
Speaker 9: surround him with weapons, but your offensive line isn't all
Speaker 9: that great and you give up the most sacks in
Speaker 9: the NFL history. You know, I think there is a
Speaker 9: part of a part of this that you know, Maddieberflus
Speaker 9: wants his get back in this game. But at the
Speaker 9: same time, Maddiberflus is a really even keeled guy. This
Speaker 9: is not a guy who gets too high or too low.
Speaker 9: And I think him coming back in Dallas is kind
Speaker 9: of just a big sigh relief because some guys, and
Speaker 9: I've talked about this on the show before, this isn't
Speaker 9: a shot at anybody's coaching acumen or what their ability
Speaker 9: to do is. But some guys just aren't made to
Speaker 9: be head coaches. And that's okay. You can be a
Speaker 9: very successful defensive coordinator and stick around a long time
Speaker 9: in this league. And I think that that's where Maddiberflus
Speaker 9: has had the most success over the course of his
Speaker 9: career in Indianapolis. He obviously did a good enough job
Speaker 9: to earn the head coaching job in Chicago, so I
Speaker 9: think he'll be even killed coming into this especially. I
Speaker 9: think what he's more focused on is, Man, we just
Speaker 9: gave up four hundred and fifty yards and Russell Wilson
Speaker 9: and the Giants. You know, how do we take that
Speaker 9: off of the board before we go to a big
Speaker 9: game like this? So I think that's really where the
Speaker 9: focus is. Of course, there's going to be a little
Speaker 9: part of him that, as a competitor, says, hey, you know,
Speaker 9: I want to I want to show him something here, right,
Speaker 9: I want to show him that they shouldn't have fired me,
Speaker 9: they shouldn't have let me go, they should have given
Speaker 9: me time because in the NFL, frankly, you know, you
Speaker 9: don't you don't have a lot of time as a
Speaker 9: head coach.
Speaker 7: If you're sad to himself, He's say, we get fired
Speaker 7: all the time. Yeah, it's just the way of the business.
Speaker 9: If you don't get things rolling in two three years,
Speaker 9: you know your seat starts to get hot, and and
Speaker 9: that's just how it rolls now.
Speaker 3: So you got to figure it out.
Speaker 6: With all of that being said, I think the same
Speaker 6: thing can be flipped on the other side, but it's
Speaker 6: in the early stages for Ben Johnson, right.
Speaker 3: Same thing. Some guys are not meant to be head coaches.
Speaker 3: They're great coordinators.
Speaker 6: The jury is still out for an zero and two
Speaker 6: Ben Johnson going into his third game, second game at home,
Speaker 6: he's trying to get his first win overall. And if
Speaker 6: there's anybody that is familiar with Callie plays against Matt
Speaker 6: eberflu So over the last couple of seasons, it would
Speaker 6: be a guy who played him in the division and
Speaker 6: was the offensive coordinator for the Lions going into that matchup.
Speaker 5: Right when it comes to you know, the emotional component
Speaker 5: of it. These these guys aren't robots, so they can
Speaker 5: say the right things, and we love to hear them
Speaker 5: say the right things.
Speaker 2: But to Josh's point, there there's.
Speaker 5: Going to be that that feeling that kind of starts
Speaker 5: still well up in you as the buses are approaching
Speaker 5: the stadium. Right as you walk onto the field and
Speaker 5: the other team's uniform, you're going to start to feel
Speaker 5: a little bit of that trauma you felt when you
Speaker 5: got pulled into the owner's office and you got the
Speaker 5: pink slip. That being said, it is of no consequence.
Speaker 5: It should be of no consequence to this game because
Speaker 5: it exists on both sides of the ball. So what
Speaker 5: you hope is that when you look at the Bear
Speaker 5: staff and they have guys like Al Harris, and they
Speaker 5: can have guys like Kennon Matthews, these guys who came
Speaker 5: over to Chicago from from Dallas, they hope that they
Speaker 5: let their emotions get in the way. But you need
Speaker 5: your coaches to stand pat and be as professional as possible.
Speaker 5: I'm of the mindset of when it comes to going
Speaker 5: back to a place that you want so desperately to
Speaker 5: prove that you were better and more valuable than they
Speaker 5: thought you were or gave you credit for, just handle
Speaker 5: your business as best as you need to get the win,
Speaker 5: and then then you take it in and say, yeah,
Speaker 5: now I showed you, but park that, park that until
Speaker 5: it's time to get back on the buses and get
Speaker 5: the hell out of town because you cannot afford to
Speaker 5: go into this game. And I love what Josh is
Speaker 5: intimating here. It would be selfish. And Mike McCarthy after
Speaker 5: the green Bay game, after the green Bay homecoming, he
Speaker 5: admitted and took accountability for that selfishness of over coaching
Speaker 5: because he wanted so desperately to get that win and
Speaker 5: what happened.
Speaker 2: Yes, they should have won that game. And then when
Speaker 2: that game you dropped them.
Speaker 5: I don't want to they want to talk, But what
Speaker 5: I'm saying is, don't over coach this based upon the
Speaker 5: emotional component. Take what you did wrong, which was a
Speaker 5: lot on defense if you're mad, evenflues.
Speaker 2: Take everything you did.
Speaker 5: Wrong and just key in on that and just focus
Speaker 5: on that. It shouldn't matter if you're playing, if you're
Speaker 5: in you know, the Bear Stadium, if you're in the
Speaker 5: Lion Stadium, doesn't matter this week where you are. What
Speaker 5: you should be focused on is the fact that Russ
Speaker 5: almost hung five hundred yards on you and that you
Speaker 5: narrowly escaped because of dak CD George Davante and Brandon Aubery.
Speaker 5: If not for those guys, it's a different conversation. So
Speaker 5: what you can't do is go in, be selfish, be emotional,
Speaker 5: try to over coach guys because you want this win
Speaker 5: so desperately, and then you fall to a team you
Speaker 5: should beat, and now you're one and two with Green
Speaker 5: Bay up next.
Speaker 2: Don't do it.
Speaker 8: You must be dangerous but in control. Looks like Piccolo
Speaker 8: of Dragon ball Z.
Speaker 9: Wow, that was pretty good.
Speaker 2: Wow, which one? But you could the green or the orange?
Speaker 7: Green?
Speaker 2: You don't even know about the orange? Taum, the orange
Speaker 2: is the villain?
Speaker 9: Wow?
Speaker 7: I thought that's the good question. That's mostly the oranges.
Speaker 2: The villain is all right, go ahead.
Speaker 9: So I'm just just looking back at the numbers, and
Speaker 9: you know, the last six matchups that Ben Johnson and
Speaker 9: Matti Brifluis's face have faced off agains, Yeah, play call callers.
Speaker 9: The Lions have scored thirty four, twenty three, thirteen.
Speaker 10: Hey there you go, Yeah, thirty one, forty one, thirty
Speaker 10: one again, so thirty or more, thirty or more points
Speaker 10: and one two three.
Speaker 9: Four of the six matchup.
Speaker 5: Here's where I would counter because facts are facts, right,
Speaker 5: But multiple things can be true at the same time.
Speaker 5: While all of that's true and most of that is ugly,
Speaker 5: the Bears don't have the artillery on offense that the
Speaker 5: Lions did when Ben Johnson was calling.
Speaker 7: It's true.
Speaker 6: They don't have a minors Saint Brown. They don't have
Speaker 6: Jared Goff playing at a high level. They don't have
Speaker 6: Jamier Gibbs or David Montgomery or any of those.
Speaker 2: They have a veteran the.
Speaker 9: Best offensive line in football.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh my god, do they have a veteran quarterback
Speaker 5: that has pocket awareness and read defenses. Yeah, you can
Speaker 5: easily panic Caleb Williams and get him off his spot
Speaker 5: and then it's, you know, Saxville's turnles you know.
Speaker 3: So it's happened quite a bit.
Speaker 5: So, yes, Ben Johnson owns the matchup in a very
Speaker 5: big way. But the artillery that he had in Detroit
Speaker 5: is not.
Speaker 9: Very different, very different, not existing.
Speaker 6: And when you look at the Bears in their first
Speaker 6: two games of the season, first team in NFL history
Speaker 6: to start a season against two teams that won fourteen
Speaker 6: or more games the year before. So they've had their
Speaker 6: tough spot of the season right up at the jump.
Speaker 9: Welcome to the NFL.
Speaker 6: But Lions were fifteen and two, the Vikings were fourteen
Speaker 6: and three last year, and they were able to go
Speaker 6: up against those two teams and you kind.
Speaker 3: Of got what you expected out of them.
Speaker 6: Look decent against the Lions, I mean, or excuse me,
Speaker 6: against the Vikings, kind of hung in there.
Speaker 3: Vikings are a tough Yeah. Vikings are a tough team
Speaker 3: to read right now.
Speaker 6: They always are, though, Yeah, and they looked like garbage
Speaker 6: on Sunday Night football man saying out that was one
Speaker 6: of the worst Sunday Night football games.
Speaker 2: Don't McCarthy We do.
Speaker 5: But he went down last year and then Sam Donald
Speaker 5: came out and have had an MVP caliber year.
Speaker 2: J J. McCarthy goes down again this year, You just
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 8: And apparently they were going to bench him and then
Speaker 8: decided his body benched him.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So Carson Wentz, say Carson Wentz is starting there.
Speaker 9: Carson Wentz against Jake Browning and on I think it's Thursday.
Speaker 5: Quick clarifying point for Greg Hutchings. Uh, what I was
Speaker 5: saying was don't over coach. I'm not saying don't send
Speaker 5: guys and don't get after Kyle.
Speaker 7: Just don't coach at all.
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is, don't.
Speaker 5: Guys to press because they so desperately want to get
Speaker 5: a win for your revenge attribute, Like that's That's not
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. Call your game, Scheme your game, execute
Speaker 5: your game, get the win, and then stand at midfield
Speaker 5: and you can put up as many middle fingers as you.
Speaker 2: Like at that point. But just to stay the course,
Speaker 2: keep the main thing, the main thing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, just to clean up that stat to that I
Speaker 6: had with the Bears playing against the Vikings and the line,
Speaker 6: can I give you k wise that.
Speaker 3: Of the day, let's do it? Is it time for
Speaker 3: that in there? But this is wild.
Speaker 6: Only four teams in NFL history have started a season
Speaker 6: against two opponents that have a higher combined previous season
Speaker 6: win percentage than the twenty twenty five Bears.
Speaker 3: Does that make sense?
Speaker 6: So out of the teams that they've played, the combined
Speaker 6: win percentage between the Vikings and the and the Lions
Speaker 6: from last year higher than all but four teams.
Speaker 3: You want to hear the.
Speaker 2: Four teams come on with it. This is wild.
Speaker 6: With nineteen twenty one the Rochester Jeffersons, you know that's
Speaker 6: a real team.
Speaker 9: They still talk about those guys.
Speaker 6: They were moving on up that years a real team.
Speaker 6: Also in nineteen twenty one, the Cincinnati Celts.
Speaker 3: What is a celt with a sea or is it
Speaker 3: a celt that's it is like Celtic. Okay, okay, cool,
Speaker 3: just making sure.
Speaker 6: Nineteen twenty seven, the Chicago Cardinals, the Chicago car Cardinals
Speaker 6: not the Bears.
Speaker 2: Who not the paint wow.
Speaker 6: And then finally also in nineteen twenty one, the Columbus Panhandles.
Speaker 3: Those are the four teams that had to hire.
Speaker 7: Someone for Ben Johnson.
Speaker 2: I can't get pod lords.
Speaker 9: You talk about a you know, a core four like that.
Speaker 9: I mean we still talk about those teams to this day.
Speaker 9: You know, Chester Jet for Rochester Jefferson's.
Speaker 3: Man, that's insane.
Speaker 6: There you go, k WI stat of the week here,
Speaker 6: the smartest one in the room. Now, just I challenge
Speaker 6: everybody that's watching or listening to this podcast, just try
Speaker 6: and work Rochester Jefferson's into your fantasy football conversation this week.
Speaker 7: Somehow that's my famous football name.
Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, maybe switch your name. I don't know, figure
Speaker 3: out if you will.
Speaker 9: And their schedule is not getting any easier. They've got
Speaker 9: Washington in a couple of weeks and they go to
Speaker 9: tow Baltimore. Then they go against Pittsburgh, Philly, Green Bay,
Speaker 9: Green Bay twice in three weeks with the Browns in
Speaker 9: the middle. So I guess there's a get right game
Speaker 9: San Francisco and then the end of the year with Detroit.
Speaker 8: So I got a friend that predicted ten wins for
Speaker 8: the Bears this year, and you know, I just.
Speaker 2: It's dumb predict they how do they get to ten?
Speaker 9: We got sixteen games left, fellas, sixteen weeks left, I should,
Speaker 9: says my friend.
Speaker 7: That I still I support him.
Speaker 9: Well, hope that I've got sixteen more weeks until I'm wrong.
Speaker 3: So why'd you admit I could? You could have just could?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Yeah, Well now I look even better of them, right, so, uh,
Speaker 9: we'll see. I thought they would be much I thought
Speaker 9: they would be much better than they than they are
Speaker 9: right now. I thought they would be I thought I
Speaker 9: think they should be one and one. But they just
Speaker 9: completely let that game go away.
Speaker 2: They did.
Speaker 3: They let that first game slip.
Speaker 2: They're about to be one and two, hope, So we'll see.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when we.

Speaker 14: These are sweet fire. That's a sweet jersey. It just
Speaker 14: says Jeff's on with the long sleeve jersey. And then
Speaker 14: look at this, that's twenty twenty four.
Speaker 7: Dak Prescott would be as five.
Speaker 2: Oh, I might have to come.
Speaker 9: I don't think they had those designs back in eighteen
Speaker 9: ninety eight, on those nineteen twenty one.
Speaker 5: But they also didn't have you know what, there are
Speaker 5: a lot of.
Speaker 2: Things they didn't have that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just thank you for stopping.
Speaker 2: I know, you know, and I'm thank you for.
Speaker 3: Stopping, all right.
Speaker 6: Secondary Woes is the title of the second segment. The
Speaker 6: Bears have some weapons, they have some speed.
Speaker 3: Josh, when you.
Speaker 6: Look at the film from the Bears in their first
Speaker 6: two weeks of the season, we talked about not having
Speaker 6: the same level of weapons that that Ben Johnson had
Speaker 6: in Detroit. But he doesn't have a shortage of him
Speaker 6: in Chicago.
Speaker 8: Either, No, not at all. Romadoons is a dude. Second
Speaker 8: year wide receiver, and Caleb Williams isn't doing a lot
Speaker 8: of great things. The one thing that he is doing
Speaker 8: really great is getting the ball to Romadoons.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I believe he already has two touchdowns already on the year.
Speaker 8: He arguably had a really great game against the Lions,
Speaker 8: even though that was a losing effort.
Speaker 7: I got fifty two points. Score on him.
Speaker 8: That's not the offense his fault necessarily, unless you're turning
Speaker 8: the ball over. But Romadunze is a dude. If Wandelle
Speaker 8: Robinson was any impression on you, if the Giants receiving
Speaker 8: corps as a whole scared you, you should be scared Romadoonze.
Speaker 8: I really think you need to watch out for him.
Speaker 8: You need to watch out for DJ more and as
Speaker 8: far as other weapons on the offense, go DeAndre Swift.
Speaker 8: I know we've talked about him a little bit. We
Speaker 8: were talking about him before the show. His north to
Speaker 8: south isn't great. But this guy is really fast.
Speaker 7: It's in his name.
Speaker 8: He's a swift, fast even past catching a receiver. When
Speaker 8: it comes to his threat that he gives you, that
Speaker 8: he provides on the offense, he's a fast guy. You
Speaker 8: need to account for him, especially if he's running on
Speaker 8: the outside. I think if you run him to the
Speaker 8: outside off of the right tackle and his name eludes
Speaker 8: me right now, I wrote it Darnell Right, Darnell Wright,
Speaker 8: who has a PFF grade of ninety. When it comes
Speaker 8: to his run blocking, it's pretty darn good, bud. But
Speaker 8: then again, PFF, I don't know if they're watching the
Speaker 8: film necessarily because the right side doesn't look great. Necessarily,
Speaker 8: when it comes to past blocking, he has an eighty.
Speaker 8: So take that what you will. Deondershift, you have to
Speaker 8: count for. But roma Dunze for me, is like the
Speaker 8: glowing light. You need to account for that dude all day,
Speaker 8: every day.
Speaker 2: And he is.
Speaker 5: He has three receiving touchdowns through the first two games.
Speaker 5: He's averaging twelve point seven yards of reception when he
Speaker 5: brings that ball in. Unfortunately for the Bears and fortunately
Speaker 5: hopefully for the Cowboys Caleb Williams again, he can get
Speaker 5: knocked off of his spot easily. He can get panicked easily.
Speaker 5: You have to just make sure you rattle him to
Speaker 5: keep him from being able to get the ball. To
Speaker 5: guys like a Doonza and more, those are going to
Speaker 5: be your top two targets that you need to circle
Speaker 5: if you're Matt Eberflus. As far as DeAndre Swift, I
Speaker 5: know that guy quite well for obvious reasons.
Speaker 2: Go dogs.
Speaker 7: You can't say, oh, he beat you too.
Speaker 2: He did, Go dogs.
Speaker 5: And the thing about DeAndre Swift, and we were having
Speaker 5: this conversation before the pot went live, is that DeAndre
Speaker 5: Swift is being asked to do something that is not
Speaker 5: natural to him in Chicago, and that works in the
Speaker 5: Cowboys favor. You mentioned that, Josh, very very accurately. He
Speaker 5: DeAndre Swift is great in space. He's great, you know,
Speaker 5: bouncing to the outside. He's not great at doing the
Speaker 5: dirty work in the heavy lifting. That's why one of
Speaker 5: the reasons he excelled at Georgia was because he had
Speaker 5: the compliment of Nick Chubb the heavy lifter. Okay, he's
Speaker 5: pretty darn good. He's pretty darn good. DeAndre Swift, however,
Speaker 5: in Chicago, is being asked to be that heavy lifter.
Speaker 5: He is the he's their guy, he's their guy, so
Speaker 5: that being unnatural for him going up against a defensive
Speaker 5: tackles room. And I've been waiting a long time to
Speaker 5: say this, so I get to say it. One of
Speaker 5: the best defensive tackle rotations in the NFL. Kenny Clark,
Speaker 5: Oh So, Diggie Zuoa, Solomon Thomas, I just said, you're
Speaker 5: not talking about the Dallas I am talking about that
Speaker 5: about the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, so you have one of
Speaker 5: the it it felt good to say, taste it, taste
Speaker 5: the air.
Speaker 2: It tasted good.
Speaker 5: And it's a fact. It's It's inarguable to me. Solomon
Speaker 5: Thomas is in demon mold right now. Olso, Diggi zuo way,
Speaker 5: we know what he does and Kenny Clark, rumors of
Speaker 5: his demise have been greatly exaggerated. Okay, So those three
Speaker 5: guys up against DeAndre Swift in those A and B
Speaker 5: gaps doing the heavy lifting, something that he doesn't like
Speaker 5: to do anyway, advantage Cowboys.
Speaker 6: Can I ask you one of my impossible questions. Yes,
Speaker 6: can you rank the way that those three guys have
Speaker 6: played so far Solomon, Thomas, Osa, Diggizu and I want
Speaker 6: you to rank him top three because I have an
Speaker 6: order of through.
Speaker 2: Through the first two games.
Speaker 5: God, Kenny, Kenny took game one, Sally took Game two.
Speaker 5: Osa has been it's being both. Yeah, he's been Osa.
Speaker 5: I'm going to go. I know what he did get
Speaker 5: to say.
Speaker 2: It's it's Kenny, It's Kenny, Kenny Solomon.
Speaker 3: That's kind of what it should be.
Speaker 9: I would argue that was not I would argue it's
Speaker 9: Kenny Solomon.
Speaker 3: That's where I was headed. And it's not anything against But.
Speaker 8: That speaks to how well that's Solomon's playing, the snaps
Speaker 8: that he has that drive. What was it against the
Speaker 8: Giants last week? Absolutely shut it down after three consecutive
Speaker 8: plays which Alex Lily absolutely killed on the sideline. It
Speaker 8: was a perfect sequence of events that he edited perfectly.
Speaker 7: Shouts to you, buddy with the brad sham called.
Speaker 2: Don't play with me.
Speaker 8: It was greemon to please watch some from the Priority
Speaker 8: have but that drive for me worth that that sequence?
Speaker 7: Come on, man, what are we doing.
Speaker 6: That was my point though, is all three of those
Speaker 6: guys have played exceptionally well to this point. And when
Speaker 6: you look at the film and you go back and
Speaker 6: I think there's an argument.
Speaker 3: To be had about all three orders.
Speaker 6: You can order all three of those guys however you want,
Speaker 6: and that's a good thing.
Speaker 3: Which is great.
Speaker 6: But when I'm looking at it, I'm like, man, Kenny
Speaker 6: Clark makes an incredible impact, But Solomon Thomas is a dog.
Speaker 6: He's playing some of maybe ever and and maybe it's
Speaker 6: because he's coming back home.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's because he fits in the system. I don't
Speaker 3: know what it is.
Speaker 7: I've been coaching. I'm thinking a little bit.
Speaker 5: I think it's those two things. In addition to the
Speaker 5: fact that he's playing rotationally behind Osa. He gets to
Speaker 5: stay rested just like OSA gets to stay rested. They're
Speaker 5: playing off of each other. Which was why we on
Speaker 5: Talking Cowboys See Talking Cowboys, we seeball no Ball. We
Speaker 5: said that Solomon Thomas had THEOS had the potential to
Speaker 5: be one of the best free agent signings this offseason boys.
Speaker 5: Because of this reason, he and also get the playoff
Speaker 5: of each other. And that was before they threw Kenny
Speaker 5: Clark into the mix. So now those three guys just
Speaker 5: get to play off.
Speaker 6: Of really fun to watch. It's so refreshing. You have
Speaker 6: no idea every Actually, you guys, you know you do.
Speaker 7: Have an idea.
Speaker 3: You do have an idea.
Speaker 6: How refreshing it is to watch good defensive tackle film
Speaker 6: after years of not good defensive tackle film. I mean
Speaker 6: since I joined the team in twenty nineteen, watching it
Speaker 6: over and over and over again, and then going through
Speaker 6: draft prospects over and over and over again, trying to
Speaker 6: find interior defensive lineman to.
Speaker 3: Fix the problem. And now you get to watch it
Speaker 3: and say, wow, these guys are good. It's really it's
Speaker 3: a game change.
Speaker 7: And now I'm matching a pass rush on top of that.
Speaker 3: I know, let's get to that.
Speaker 6: How do you have the pass rush against a guy
Speaker 6: like Caleb Williams?
Speaker 3: How do you get there?
Speaker 7: One?
Speaker 6: Jadavian Clooning actually possibly save this for the third segment.
Speaker 6: I do want to talk about the secondary though, because
Speaker 6: as much as we're giving flowers to the front seven
Speaker 6: and to the interior defensive line, the secondary was rough.
Speaker 3: Where do they need to take a.
Speaker 6: Big step forward going into this matchup against the Bears
Speaker 6: and their way.
Speaker 3: That's Tommy.
Speaker 9: You know. I think that we talked about.
Speaker 2: Segment to.
Speaker 3: This is segment two.
Speaker 2: All we did this is stiled. We smiled. Okay, never mind,
Speaker 2: it's one of those days.
Speaker 9: I'm going to make one quick point on the running game,
Speaker 9: just because, yes, DeAndre Swift is better on the outside,
Speaker 9: and if you can work him inside the tackles, I
Speaker 9: think they'll have success against the run. But uh, we
Speaker 9: talk about Caleb Williams and the pocket collapsing on him
Speaker 9: and him kind of getting out of there. He's done
Speaker 9: a much better job this year in comparison to his
Speaker 9: rookie year of turning up field and getting yardage with
Speaker 9: his legs. I think he did that really well at
Speaker 9: USC and it's what made him super special. So he's
Speaker 9: going to be a threat to turn upfield and run
Speaker 9: on you too. Kind Of similar, I'll say similar, but
Speaker 9: they're not the same player to what Jalen Hurts was
Speaker 9: with the Eagles in Week one, where he had success
Speaker 9: running the football when he got outside the pocket. Additionally,
Speaker 9: Williams on the run, the way that he's able to
Speaker 9: contort his body and rifle passes downfield is very special.
Speaker 9: You're not going to see a lot of quarterbacks that
Speaker 9: can get outside the pocket and throw the ball at
Speaker 9: the angle that he does in the way that he
Speaker 9: is able to maneuver his body. Sometimes it hurts him
Speaker 9: and he ends up making bad plays and bad decisions
Speaker 9: of it. But he's also going to make some throws
Speaker 9: that just have you saying wow too, So you kind
Speaker 9: of have to balance that. And in terms of their weapons,
Speaker 9: I think they have a lot of them, you know,
Speaker 9: you look at that. We talked a lot about Romo Dunesey,
Speaker 9: the former number nine overall pick. He's really good at Washington.
Speaker 9: I think he's really settling into the NFL now. I
Speaker 9: think he was kind of up and down last year
Speaker 9: for them, still fairly consistent, but this year it seems
Speaker 9: like he is really stepping into the role that Chicago
Speaker 9: wanted him to. You still got DJ Moore, who they're
Speaker 9: trying to use in a lot of different ways in motion.
Speaker 9: He's taking some snaps as a running back for Chicago
Speaker 9: through the first two weeks, and then they want to
Speaker 9: be the best twelve personnel team in the league. They're
Speaker 9: still getting there. There's still a lot of work to
Speaker 9: be done, but They've got Cole Committ Whoys signed to
Speaker 9: a long term deal a couple of years ago, and
Speaker 9: then they use the number ten overall pick on Colston Lovelin,
Speaker 9: so they have weapons. They have guys that can get
Speaker 9: out there. Not to mention Luther Burden on the second
Speaker 9: round pick out of Missouri, who a lot of people
Speaker 9: had as a pretty high wide receiver on their draft boards,
Speaker 9: but they, interestingly enough, have not been playing him very much,
Speaker 9: so well that might just be a hey, this guy
Speaker 9: still needs to develop. But yeah, Chicago has guys that
Speaker 9: can go and get the football. I think, you know,
Speaker 9: if you look at them compared to the Giants, they
Speaker 9: don't have them E league neighbors, but I think their
Speaker 9: overall receiving cores is better than what New York has.
Speaker 9: And so you've got to be sounding what you're doing,
Speaker 9: and you've got to make sure that you know you're
Speaker 9: you're protecting the seams, which they didn't do a good
Speaker 9: job of last week. And you just got to hope
Speaker 9: that Caleb Williams is inconsistent with his deep.
Speaker 6: Ball and Doonzay has had multiple touchdowns already. Right game
Speaker 6: tied for the league in the NFL I yeah, kind
Speaker 6: of good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know what Isaiah would be saying. If he was,
Speaker 3: he would be like you du boys represent Yeah.
Speaker 5: What the Cowboys secondary needs first and foremost is to
Speaker 5: make sure that they're clean on their keys and understanding
Speaker 5: their assignments and the underside the assignments of everyone around them.
Speaker 5: What I saw far too often against the Giants was miscommunication.
Speaker 5: I saw guys out of place. I saw guys pre
Speaker 5: snap and in real time during the snap trying to
Speaker 5: figure out and communicate as the ball is in the air,
Speaker 5: whose guy is this right? You see guys running around
Speaker 5: when the ball is in the air and they're pointing,
Speaker 5: and after the fact there's a lot of shrugging and
Speaker 5: there's frustrations.
Speaker 2: That tells me there's still a lot.
Speaker 5: Of refinement to be done as far as this unit
Speaker 5: understanding what Eberflus's scheme is expecting of them. I saw
Speaker 5: times where Malie Hooker was a little bit too shallow
Speaker 5: in his depth and what did that do? That caused
Speaker 5: Donovan Wilson to float too deeply? And Donovan Wilson does
Speaker 5: not excel in coverage. He excels plane forward and near
Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage. He's a box safety. Treyvon Diggs
Speaker 5: was out of position a couple of times. So first
Speaker 5: and foremost, get the communication aspect down.
Speaker 2: Make sure you understand your key. I understand my key.
Speaker 5: You understand your key, you understand yours, and things will
Speaker 5: will handle themselves from that point forward. But also, and
Speaker 5: it seems as if Eberflus is hell bent because of
Speaker 5: his tendency to stick with zone is his primary. That's
Speaker 5: the case. You're going to have to get home with four.
Speaker 5: You have to get home with four. Caleb Williams, Tommy
Speaker 5: makes an excellent point. He will get outside of the pocket.
Speaker 5: He will do some damage with his legs. But going
Speaker 5: back to his days at UIs see he makes some
Speaker 5: throws on the run cross body contory is just like
Speaker 5: you should not be able to do that, and that
Speaker 5: ball be accurate and that deep downfield, and yet it happens.
Speaker 5: So you need to make sure that you keep contained,
Speaker 5: keep him in the pocket, which you can then force
Speaker 5: him upward, force him vertical. When you force h vertical
Speaker 5: with his legs, guess who's waiting for him? We just
Speaker 5: said the three names Kenny Clark, OsO, Diggy Zuwa and
Speaker 5: Solomon Thomas. Force him to deal with those animals up front,
Speaker 5: do not let him get outside the edges. So this game,
Speaker 5: if you really want to help your secondary outside of
Speaker 5: them refining their communication, making sure they understand their assignments,
Speaker 5: let your front for help. This is going to be
Speaker 5: big on Sam Williams. This is going to be big
Speaker 5: on Jadaveon Clowney. If jadave Yon plays this game, this
Speaker 5: is going to be big on Azraku. Dante Foller is
Speaker 5: going to have to have a bounce back game here.
Speaker 5: But Josh said something real quickly, and I'll throw it
Speaker 5: to Josh as analou. Josh mentioned because for all of
Speaker 5: the rightful talk about Jadavion Clowney's ability to rush the passer,
Speaker 5: that's a given.
Speaker 2: What slept on is his ability to defend the run.
Speaker 5: Okay, I mentioned this and the impact piece I roll
Speaker 5: on Jadeveon Clowney on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.
Speaker 2: Make sure you check out that piece. It's available.
Speaker 5: Clowney had six run stuffs for the Packer Panthers last
Speaker 5: year and that was good enough to tie him for
Speaker 5: second most in Carolina, and that matched Michaeh Parson's number
Speaker 5: of run stuffs in that same category, although it was
Speaker 5: on roughly fewer fifty fewer defensive snaps than Michaeh had
Speaker 5: last year and or only two fewer than the eight
Speaker 5: run stuffs that Osa had last year for the Cowboys.
Speaker 5: So I sell of that to say yesterday, ViOn Clowney
Speaker 5: is a situational pass rusher. He can get after guys
Speaker 5: as long as he as long as he keeps going forward.
Speaker 5: But he's also above average at stopping the run.
Speaker 6: Also, And I know you lobbed it to Josh, and
Speaker 6: I want Josh to answer on the other side of
Speaker 6: the break because we are going to talk about this
Speaker 6: front seven and how they can get home against the
Speaker 6: Chicago offensive line. More talking Cowboys right after this.
Speaker 7: I'm home.

Speaker 6: and peel sketch of a bomb. Oh yeah, I saw
Speaker 6: killing It was a huge dap up. You know, and
Speaker 6: then hey, there I was going, I didn't need to
Speaker 6: everybody else.
Speaker 2: Yeah it was organic in real time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, no, it really was.
Speaker 5: But then after the fact, I kept wondering why people
Speaker 5: were sending me that Key and p Y and p
Speaker 5: O Giff, and I was like, why did they keep
Speaker 5: sending this? So I went back and I watched it,
Speaker 5: and now I can't unsee it. Yeah, now I can't
Speaker 5: unsee it.
Speaker 3: Ma Pat posted the video.
Speaker 5: I was cracking up laugh I do because because of
Speaker 5: you guys, my Twitter followers kept pointing out. I was
Speaker 5: just like, it's burning my brain now because it's yeah,
Speaker 5: that's exactly how it went.
Speaker 8: I would be the guy in the situation to like
Speaker 8: bow unnecessarily, you know what.
Speaker 5: I mean, A Curtsey Curtsey Joshua, Kurtzy.
Speaker 3: Josh You have a photo you want to show with
Speaker 3: the class.
Speaker 8: Cur Oh yeah, this is the nineteen twenty or sorry,
Speaker 8: nineteen oh nine Rochester Jefferson's.
Speaker 3: This is looking up in the break. This is about
Speaker 3: the Rochester Jeffers.
Speaker 8: This little dude right here was like their their right tackle.
Speaker 8: So imagine him going up against one. You know, did
Speaker 8: they even.
Speaker 3: Anybody we won?
Speaker 7: Anyone those guys just ran sweeps all day. Shots at them.
Speaker 6: John Marsha full back for the nineteen twenty one they.
Speaker 7: Jefferson's fourteen fullbacks on the roster.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know this, of course, that's all they played.
Speaker 2: I mean everyone in the picture is the same guy.
Speaker 7: They had fourteen tight ends.
Speaker 5: Four Oh, everybody was playing three ways, two way, these
Speaker 5: four ways.
Speaker 2: The kicker was the quarterbay.
Speaker 7: They only had slot receivers for some reason.
Speaker 3: And then once their career was over, they went back
Speaker 3: to being attorneys. That's what happened.
Speaker 9: You don't think they were incorporating the r P O
Speaker 9: s into their.
Speaker 3: No RPO monern style.
Speaker 2: Oh how many attorneys were in there?
Speaker 12: What you was?
Speaker 2: This? Was this the Industrial Revolution? I think they went
Speaker 2: back to this.
Speaker 3: Speak back to talking history.
Speaker 2: I think this was the Industrial Revolution.
Speaker 5: I think they went back to you know, good old
Speaker 5: fashioned blue collar color.
Speaker 7: We can do it.
Speaker 6: I just looked one up and he said he was
Speaker 6: an attorney, So that's always just that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know what else they did so they could
Speaker 2: sue the other team.
Speaker 6: Rochester Jefferson's Welcome back to talking Jefferson's Here on a wonderful.
Speaker 3: Wednesday, All right.
Speaker 7: You know who that team could have used.
Speaker 3: Who's that mar You know what team could use Marius
Speaker 3: Leaf right now?
Speaker 7: Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit more of him?
Speaker 7: Yes, And I am calling on the Dallas Cowy.
Speaker 2: I saw Jack Samborn and I think probably.
Speaker 7: I'm calling on the Dallas Cowboys. I'm calling on Matt
Speaker 7: Everflu's too you use use used.
Speaker 8: One Maris leafoul on every possible snap that you have
Speaker 8: against one Caleber. Honestly throw him on offense like I
Speaker 8: would love to, like, just just give him.
Speaker 3: Now we're going too far.
Speaker 8: Please, please incorporate Mary's lefoul in this defensive somehow?
Speaker 7: Please?
Speaker 6: Is that the key to getting pressure and keeping Caleb
Speaker 6: Williams contained, because that's the biggest ladder.
Speaker 7: It is the ladder. It is keeping Caleb Williams. And
Speaker 7: check I think it is. I say spy all the time.
Speaker 2: I spy.
Speaker 7: I'm saying it here. I'm saying it here.
Speaker 8: And even if just the threat of him being athletic
Speaker 8: enough to catch up to a Caleb Williams, just the
Speaker 8: threat of it gives you an opportunity here.
Speaker 3: You don't have Demo. I know, I wish, I wish,
Speaker 3: But he's probably closest to.
Speaker 7: Out of that than a lot of people. See one.
Speaker 8: Tommy Ark wrote a nice article about tomorrow, an over
Speaker 8: showing now available in doskcowoys dot com.
Speaker 3: What was it about, Tommy?
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's he was upstairs doing a United Healthcare charity
Speaker 9: thing where he's you know, a good human, Yeah, a
Speaker 9: really good guy man. He's making these these care packages
Speaker 9: for families in Central Texas that were affected by the
Speaker 9: recent flooding. We were able to talk a little bit
Speaker 9: about that, and you know how he looks at Also,
Speaker 9: diggi Zoo is a guy that inspires him to do
Speaker 9: more and he wants to win a Walter Payton Man
Speaker 9: of the Year award one day. And I got to
Speaker 9: a little bit of football too. He says he's feeling
Speaker 9: good getting there was the word. He using the recovery process.
Speaker 9: Wants to be back before Thanksgiving. Obviously it's not necessarily
Speaker 9: his choice. It's the training staff and the coaching staff's choice.
Speaker 9: But seems to be doing well. Every time we've seen
Speaker 9: him out there, he looks like he's doing more and
Speaker 9: more and he's running around so good signs pointing in
Speaker 9: the right direction for mister overshowing but it'll still be
Speaker 9: a while.
Speaker 7: So in the meantime he used Mary's leafel.
Speaker 9: Yeah, And you know, I think the interesting thing about
Speaker 9: Marius Leafhol is you know, you think about Matt Eberflus
Speaker 9: and he is the one of the biggest descendants from
Speaker 9: the rotten Marinelli tree. Right, So a lot of Tampa two,
Speaker 9: you're going to send pressure with four and you're not
Speaker 9: going to blitz very often. He's not a guy who
Speaker 9: I think he blitzed a little bit more week two
Speaker 9: than he did Week one, and then took him until
Speaker 9: the second half really in week one to start sending
Speaker 9: those blitzes. But you know, I would have be shocked
Speaker 9: if we don't see a lot of Marisley if I
Speaker 9: again this week. Is that the right answer? You can
Speaker 9: argue most yourselves about that. But I think he's going
Speaker 9: to rely on his front four guys to get home,
Speaker 9: and if they want to get home, Chicago's vulnerable in
Speaker 9: their tackles. You got the left tackle Braxton Jones, who
Speaker 9: has twelve quarterback pressures already this year. He's given up
Speaker 9: two sacks. And then Darnell Wright, the veteran, I'll say veteran.
Speaker 9: He was the number nine overall pick a couple of
Speaker 9: years ago, but he's got seven quarterback pressures. He's actually
Speaker 9: the lowest on the team. But I think that right
Speaker 9: side of the offensive line, really Jonah Jackson and Darnell Wright,
Speaker 9: is where you can win in getting home in the
Speaker 9: pass rush. And Dallas's pass rush has struggled to start.
Speaker 9: This is a great opportunity for them to get there.
Speaker 9: So that right side, and then if you get around
Speaker 9: Braxton Jones, I think you'll have some success.
Speaker 8: One thing that has been abundant clear when watching the
Speaker 8: Chicago Bears that is that the offensive line is poor
Speaker 8: in communication. They've had bad communication so far this year.
Speaker 8: It's a young season, I understand, but the false starts
Speaker 8: are a problem getting into those first and long, second
Speaker 8: and long situations when your offensive line just isn't clicking.
Speaker 8: There's no chemistry as far as I'm concerned so far,
Speaker 8: and you could argue this isn't a get right game
Speaker 8: for the Chicago Bears offensive line. But if that trend continues,
Speaker 8: it's going to be a rough season for Calla Williams
Speaker 8: yet again, a guy that was sacked sixty plus times
Speaker 8: last year. I really think the Dallas coups have an
Speaker 8: opportunity to get this offensive line, Like you're saying, seat.
Speaker 6: I thought that was the case last week as well,
Speaker 6: though against the Giants offensive line that was struggling with
Speaker 6: a left tackle. We saw that in the first drive.
Speaker 6: And what happened there with James Hudson.
Speaker 7: Well, you got a different piece. This file possible.
Speaker 9: It's a little bit came out real quick.
Speaker 3: He did not last after that one drive.
Speaker 6: But when when I'm looking at the Chicago offensive line,
Speaker 6: it's a lot of the same as the communication issues.
Speaker 6: It's the the staleness upfront is kind of the way
Speaker 6: I put some punch to him. Yeah, whenever he came
Speaker 6: to the Giants, and it's the same thing with the Bears.
Speaker 6: There's just no real significance there.
Speaker 9: I would argue there's a little bit of punch. I
Speaker 9: think Joe Tune's a really good player still. Drew Dolmens
Speaker 9: had kind of a rough start, but I think he's
Speaker 9: a good center too, and that for the most part,
Speaker 9: right he's up and down. He's a better run block.
Speaker 9: He's kind of like really good rints that he's a
Speaker 9: really good run paver.
Speaker 3: But' been that way since he was a ten Tennessee.
Speaker 9: Right, You're absolutely right, and then Jonah Jackson is just
Speaker 9: you know, I'm not just I'm just not a huge
Speaker 9: fan of the player. I'm not trying to take any
Speaker 9: shots or anything like that, but I think he's a
Speaker 9: guy where you can get pressure on. But at the
Speaker 9: same time, I think Dallas's pass rush is not near
Speaker 9: the level of past Russ that the Bears have faced
Speaker 9: the first two weeks. They might be looking at this
Speaker 9: game like, finally, you know, I mean, we had Aiden
Speaker 9: Hutchinson last week and and Zadarius Smith on the other side,
Speaker 9: and then week one you've got Dallas Turner and Brian
Speaker 9: Flores a really good job of scheming pressure and one
Speaker 9: of the biggest blitzers in the NFL. So they might
Speaker 9: be looking at this game like, oh, all right, we
Speaker 9: might be able to settle down a little bit here.
Speaker 9: But this is almost an entirely new unit. You know,
Speaker 9: those interior three in Jackson, Dolmen, and Thuny. This is
Speaker 9: their first year playing together. They were not playing together
Speaker 9: last year because Chicago's offensive line was terrible, so they
Speaker 9: went out and invested in it. You don't think they're terrible, now, no, no, no, Well,
Speaker 9: work in progress. I'll say this, the bar is so
Speaker 9: low compared to last year. I mean, Kayle Williams was
Speaker 9: sacked sixty seven times. That is unfathomable. So that there,
Speaker 9: you can't not be better, right, And I think they
Speaker 9: have gotten off to a better start. I'm not saying
Speaker 9: they're the best offensive line in the league.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it is nearly impossible to be.
Speaker 9: No, I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying
Speaker 9: it is nearly impossible to be worse than they were
Speaker 9: last year.
Speaker 8: But not a market enough improvement over last year yet, correct,
Speaker 8: branded it's early.
Speaker 3: Correct.
Speaker 6: They've allowed six sacks two in Week one for last week,
Speaker 6: so they are susceptible. And hey, if that trend continues,
Speaker 6: then Dallas is due for six sacs going into it three.
Speaker 3: It's not gonna happen. Right.
Speaker 5: My reservation there is we we had the same energy
Speaker 5: talking about the Giants exactly what I was saying. Yeah,
Speaker 5: the Giants offensive line. So until you see it, it's
Speaker 5: a league. It's a week to week league, right, And
Speaker 5: you hope, as the Cowboys, you hope that the Bears
Speaker 5: offensive line doesn't figure out how to start blocking this week,
Speaker 5: much like the Giants offensive line figured out how to
Speaker 5: start blocking on Sunday except for the left tackle, except
Speaker 5: for the left town Oh Hudson, my god. That being said,
Speaker 5: going here and stop, and hopefully the Cowboys are not
Speaker 5: going into this situation looking at the opponent as we're
Speaker 5: playing the Bears. No, no, no, you need to treat
Speaker 5: this like you're playing the Packers. Treat it like you're
Speaker 5: playing the Eagles. Treat it like you're playing one of
Speaker 5: these NFC contenders. That's what you need to treat it like.
Speaker 3: I think they will.
Speaker 6: I think I think the whole conversation that we had
Speaker 6: at the beginning of the show, when it's like play
Speaker 6: within yourself, don't go too much.
Speaker 3: You know, these guys, if they.
Speaker 6: Really truly ride for Matti Eberflus, you know they're gonna
Speaker 6: want to do something in this game.
Speaker 3: You know they're gonna want to make some level of impact.
Speaker 6: And it's only the third time, by the way, that
Speaker 6: a first round quarterback will face a defensive coordinator that
Speaker 6: drafted him as a head coach in the National Football League.
Speaker 6: It's only the third time that's ever happened since the merger. Anyways,
Speaker 6: Rex Grossman played against his former head coach, and then
Speaker 6: at that point DC in two thousand and four he
Speaker 6: won that game. And then in twenty nineteen Baker Mayfield
Speaker 6: played against Greg Williams, who drafted him in Cleveland. So
Speaker 6: kind of an interesting one two there, But it's only
Speaker 6: the third time that it'll happen.
Speaker 9: Two Bears quarterbacks and Grossman and Kayleb Williams.
Speaker 3: Yeah, good point.
Speaker 6: All right, that's gonna do it for us here on.
Speaker 6: Talking Cowboys will be back tomorrow. We are going to
Speaker 6: preview the Dallas offense against that Chicago Bears defense that
Speaker 6: might be the deciding fact and how this game goes
Speaker 6: going into Sunday in Week three three twenty five. Kickoff
Speaker 6: Ron Fox for Patrick Nosey Walker, Josh Rodriguez, Tommy Arish,
Speaker 6: Chris Beam in the back.
Speaker 3: I'm Kyle Yeoman saying so long from Talking Cowboys. We'll
Speaker 3: see you tomorrow.
