Amber's got a game for us and 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.400 Segment two, so we got a lot going on today. 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.280 Let's jump right in. Brian, give me some updates here 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:58.040 on injuries for Tyron Smith, Chuma Edoga, and Rico Duvel. 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.520 Yeah, Rico Dabble is not gonna play. 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.840 I was told yesterday that Yron Smith will play and 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.360 then Adoga will Then he's dealing with the toe injury 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.840 that he will be the backup. So good news on 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:12.400 the left tackle spot for the Cowboys. We'll see what 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:16.320 happens with the running back situation. Uh, there's a chance. 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.519 Listening to Mike McCarthy talked with Sean and Argie one 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.240 five three of the Fan this morning. He was talking 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.519 about the possible elevation of Deuce Vaughn. 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.600 And some potential packages and stuff like that. 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:32.080 This will be an interesting game in the way that 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:36.360 they use Deuce Vaughn. And I say it with what 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:41.600 I know about Detroit's blitzing linebackers, you know, you mean 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.600 you have to be very mindful. Yes you have packages, 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:48.080 Yes you have ways to get him involved, but is 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.080 it one of those things where that you sometimes you 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.800 have to play him in certain spots. And with the 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:58.280 way that the Lions like to blitz their linebackers and 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:02.720 the way that they blitz their safeties, blitz pick up 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:06.040 is going to be a huge part of this football game. 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:09.440 And and last week what we saw in the Dolphins 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.080 game was some indecision. Maybe it was a road environment, 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.240 you know, Nate Newton, Dave Campo on on the broadcast 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.239 the other night, you know, the cross talk show, talking 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:23.800 about communication communication home being better. So yeah, I just 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:28.440 I'm curious of how much do we really see Douce 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:31.000 Fawn in this game? And you know, there's some there's 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.560 also some reasons that he you know, because of his 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.680 lack of height, he doesn't play in a lot of 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.720 special teams. And that's something that you know, I mean, 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:40.920 how many plays when you carry him to this game? 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.800 As Bill Parcells would say, how many plays you're gonna 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.760 get out of him. Is this going to be five plays, 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:51.000 six plays, eight plays? You know, that's that's that's that's 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:52.800 going to be the trick because he has taken a 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.320 he has taken a spot out of some necessity because 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:56.920 you don't have recal Dabtle in the lineup. 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:58.680 You know what I would wonder, and that's under that 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:03.040 situation is is this a game where because those linebackers 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.640 blitz quite a bit, that maybe you feel like, because 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.120 of Dus's size, you can kind of leak him out 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.160 a little bit. And if he leaks out and now 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:11.840 you got him in open field and you can just 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.280 throw the ball out to him quickly and get him 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.880 out in space, maybe that's how you can take advantage 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.160 of that those linebackers the linebacker blitzes and actually slow 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:21.760 that down a bit to where they're like, hey, maybe 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:23.520 we shouldn't do that because we've got to count for 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:24.800 the fact that this guy can leak out on. 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.240 The one encouraging thing that we've seen from the Cowboys, 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:31.680 and it has shown up at times, is their ability 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.040 to run a screen game, you know, and that's going 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.599 to be you know, how do you how do you 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.599 get the screen game incorporated and is he part of 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.320 the screen game. Yeah, you know we can we can 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.520 see bunch formations. When we talk about bunch, is you 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:47.640 know three four guys lined up to the outside and 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.000 then throw them the ball quick on the screen before 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.120 you catch the blitz and then hope, you know, you 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:55.120 get the block. We saw a double screen last week 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.280 where Dak you know he threw to the three blocker side. 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.279 It's the four blocker side. Probably something he'll look at 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.279 and go, I'm not going to make that mistake ever again. 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.359 I'm to make sure you gets to the four blocker side. 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:11.120 But yeah, that's the swings, the releases, Uh yeah, those 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.479 are all part of what you can absolutely do with 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:14.880 us fun in a football game. 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.840 This is a tough game to have him out there. 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.400 I mean, he's a he's a he's a weapon. We've 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:28.400 seen him, yeah, very very good back. But obviously SIS 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.360 has been a thing, but it hasn't affected him because 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.600 he still is super fast and a very skilled player. 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.599 But what scares me is we haven't seen him in 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.320 a while and just throwing him out there in a 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:44.200 game against the Lions where they have so many aggressive players, 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.080 it just I am excited to see him, but at 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.120 the same time, I'm kind of like, oh, is it 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:51.840 Is it gonna be a good thing? Is he gonna 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:53.600 be able to shine? Or are you just putting him 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.080 in a bad position where you're just kind of throwing 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.919 him out there since he hasn't been used in a 0:05:58.960 --> 0:05:59.440 long time. 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:03.400 I remember having conversations with Jesse Holly about this and 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:07.480 when you the one thing about Deuce that you'll notice 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.960 he will look fresher than everybody else playing that that's 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:11.360 the one. 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.040 You know, his his legs and. 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.080 The lack of hits and all that, you will when 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:17.960 you hand him the ball, you will be able to 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.000 tell that he hasn't had to endure in an NFL 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:22.480 season like some of these other. 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:23.279 Backs have had to. 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:27.279 So I think that's the positive that sometimes you're you 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:31.719 put somebody into the lineup and they they shine because 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:36.120 they haven't they haven't played, but their body hasn't taken the. 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.599 Wear and tear and the hits. Now. 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:42.320 But you do worry about is though the hits, you know, 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.120 and Deuce Fawn is not a fumbler, you know. You 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.440 just don't want it to be like they started using 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.080 Hunter Lipkey and Hunter Lipkey. The week before we saw 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.640 was a much blocking and you're kind of and we 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.360 saw Hunter Lipkey carry the ball and it was like, man, 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.000 this is good. It's third and one, fourth and one. 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.640 Hunter Lipkey's getting two three yards a run and then 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:04.560 you hand it to him and then you have the fumble. 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.039 Whether that was his not clamping down or Dak, you know, 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.840 I mean I think that Hunter probably thought that maybe 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:11.800 Dak was gonna pull it. 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:12.600 I I don't know. 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.520 I mean just depending on you know who you ask, 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.760 but yeah, you just don't want something some guy that 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:21.960 has not played in a long time, and then all 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.920 of a sudden that first hit, second hit, and now 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.240 the balls knock loose, and now that he goes from 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:32.160 being a positive like we saw with Hunter Lipkey to 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.240 a don't get him out of the lineup. I don't 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.080 want to see Hunter Lipkey in the lineup anymore. But 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.360 you know what, they're gonna need him in this game 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.080 if in fact, I mean, he's probably gonna be the 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.320 primary of the second back if you really really look 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:45.600 at it. 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.960 I was wondering, is Malik Davis is gonna end up 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.760 begging in that kind of role and Lepki still kind 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.000 of handles his responsibilities as that kind of that. I 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:55.720 don't know if they'renna use him in short yard is yes, 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.000 they did last week, but I don't know Malik Davis 0:07:58.000 --> 0:07:58.840 becomes an option though. 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.600 Yeah, that's and I trying to remember if Malik Davis 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.240 has any more elevations left to his game, and I 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:07.040 think they've they've used him. And the one thing about 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.440 it is this is a team and I was kind 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:13.080 of wondering too, is this the type of game and 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.560 it's important for both teams? I mean, this game is 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.760 really important for both team. And I wonder if you're 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.960 in a situation where you would actually remove somebody on 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.480 the roster to make sure that you had Elik Davis 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.440 on the you know, on the roster. You know, but 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:31.040 they obviously, you know, have confidence in uh In uh 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.840 In Hunter Lipke and they have confidence induced fawn that 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.240 they can get done. I mean, it'd be to have 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.960 all those guys active though too. It would be four 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.400 backs that you would really you have active, right if 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:45.240 you so, I don't know if the Special Team's numbers 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.440 or the numbers the count that they need for the 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.400 offense and defense, well might be allowed them to do. 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.720 That, maybe they don't need to use hindershot as much. 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.280 Well, that's you know that that's something you know. 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:57.040 You you you can, that's a luxury. 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:57.760 Yeah, you can. 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:01.000 Honestly, you can honestly think about you know, it's unfortunate 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.680 because hinder shot the other day. You know, a tough 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:05.920 chance ball gets Stone to him in the middle. Dack's 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:07.600 trying to feed it to him. You catch it, he's 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:10.280 on the one yard line. Now you're in a situation 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.559 where you're kind of thinking about maybe we need you know, 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:14.120 you can maybe get this go for this. 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.840 But yeah, his his. 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.920 His star or stock has diminished, I think in a 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:21.520 lot of eyes. 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:23.280 Yeah, it's been a tough year for him. 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:27.520 All right, let's let's let's jump into the matchup. Tell me, 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.400 as far as the offense of the Detroit Lions, who 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:32.960 do you think is a player that should be most 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:34.520 concerning for Dallas? 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.360 Got any in mind? There? Ag the running back duo. 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.000 I mean that's an easy one really to say. 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:42.679 They're so. 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:48.960 Fast and talented and skill and this is no breaking 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:49.720 news or anything. 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:50.520 We all know this. 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:54.520 Uh, the Cowboys defense has struggle in stopping the run, 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:58.000 and I think anytime you have a running back that 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.520 can really really run and escape and is so quick 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:05.160 in his breaks and so skill that can bring problems 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.520 for this defense. So I think that's an easy one 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.960 for me to say to Pig running back for sure. 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.800 Yeah, I'll go different from ag there because she's absolutely 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.920 right about the running back situation. I'm on Rod Saint 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.439 Brown is a guy that when you look at him 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.480 at wide receiver and what he's been able to do, 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:27.640 you know, targets to receptions or just like he doesn't 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.079 drop the ball, he doesn't miss the ball, he doesn't 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.680 you know, he's He's one of those guys you could 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.480 tell by watching tape. The game is super fun for him, 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.040 and he's competitive and he wants to play well and 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:42.360 it's important, and he's a really good route runner. He's 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:46.319 very detailed in the way he plays. There's no sloppiness 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.920 to his game. Sometimes you'll playgetinst a wide receiver that 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.599 is a little sloppy in his routes, sloppy with his technique, 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:53.840 sloppy with his hands. 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:55.800 Not this kid. 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.280 He is just a the in the you know, and 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.640 you look at golf Off, he that's his guy. 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:03.120 I mean he throws the. 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:07.200 Ball to Saint Brown and you know that's he's likely 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:08.640 going to come up with it. You could throw the 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.320 tight end in there as well as a guy that 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:12.559 you would you know you worried. 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.480 You will see how how they play him. 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:19.520 The Cowboys safety's hooker has been playing better, Wilson. We've 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.280 talked about near the line is better than playing back. 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.280 So yeah, they've got a couple of things that they're 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:26.560 gonna have to deal with in this game. 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:27.199 Especially. 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:31.640 I'll throw out Sam Laporta just because, in my opinion, 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:33.640 this is the best tight end I think the Cowboys 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.320 will have seen since they saw Kittle, and we saw 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.720 what Kittle did to them, and I just I worry 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.480 about that tight end. As skilled a tight end as 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.880 Sam Laporte is, that could be a problem for Dallas. 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.480 We'll see how ends up this weekend. Let's talk about 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.800 the defensive side of the ball. Who's the defensive player 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:51.800 that you think the Cowboys should be most concerned with. 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:53.560 I'll tell you what I. 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.079 Aiden Hutchinson would be really easy to say, and I'll 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:02.040 let you say Aiden Hutchinson like I think I think 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:07.600 Alex Angeloni the linebacker, and I say this at a 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:13.520 respect just because last week blitzing linebackers weren't being picked 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:17.040 up and that affected the game. You know, there were 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:21.880 several times where a blitzing linebacker was not blocked and 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.320 all of a sudden, you're blocking scheme with the hell 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.640 the quarterback was struggling to get the ball out and 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:31.200 you had negative plays. And so you know, you're talking 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:34.800 about the linebacker in the league that has twenty six pressures, 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.000 which is tied for the most of any off ball 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:40.600 linebacker in the league. So if I'm Aaron Glenn, the 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:44.200 defensive coordinator Detroit, I'm thinking, well, I'm gonna I'm gonna 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.600 find out if Dallas could pick up blitzes today. I'm 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:48.640 gonna find out. They might hit me on a player 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:50.600 or two, but I'm going to find out if they 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.480 could pick up a blitz. But these linebackers I think 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.400 are pretty Both of them are pretty good. You know, 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:59.280 Jack Campbell, the big, you know, downhill player, for them, 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:00.960 I think is of effect. You got to get a 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:04.360 hat on him. But that, you know, Angeloni with the 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.760 with the the ability to rush the passers, got me 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.160 a little bit nervous right now. 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:14.440 Yeah, Well, obviously I am gonna make hutchingson Hutchinson, he 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.480 I mean, you talk about a big guy that can move, 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.319 the speed that he has, the ability that he has 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:26.160 to play different places and get to the quarterback. We 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.600 saw the struggles that the Oline had last week, and 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.160 I don't think that's any different than this week. They're 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:36.280 still dealing with the same issues as last week. He's 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.120 a guy that can get to the quarterback and not 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.200 only that, but create turnovers as well get his hands 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:46.360 on the ball. So that is something that I'm pretty concerned. 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:49.320 I would say looking at how Dallas played last week, 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.040 how many times they got to Dak. Luckily they didn't 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.680 really turn the ball over other than the time with 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:59.840 Hunter Lipkey, but it does worry me that Dak is 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.960 constantly under pressure or in him getting to him and 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:07.720 possibly recovering the ball. That's an area of concern for 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.320 me this week because that guy, he's hard to stop. 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:12.679 Yeah, I think I would go with Hutchinson as well, 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:15.920 mainly because of the matchup. I think this game is 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:17.719 going to ride in a lot of ways on that 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:21.520 matchup between Hutchinson is Steel. Whoever wins that matchup has 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.680 a great chance to win this game. Because ultimately, I 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:27.000 don't think I'm not really afraid of the Detroit defense, 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:31.440 and quite frankly, I don't think Detroit will necessarily They're 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:34.000 not necessarily coming to this game afraid of Dallas's defense. 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:35.920 I think they feel like there's some things they can 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:37.560 take advantage of, and so I think this is going 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:39.880 to be just a high scoring game. What you can't 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:43.240 afford to do is let Hutchinson dominate Steel on that side, 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.320 and then what ends up happening is your passing game 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.000 isn't what it needs to be in order to keep 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.120 up and keep scoring, because you're gonna have to keep 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:50.240 scoring out thinking this game. 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:53.320 I'll throw another guy out there, nickel Brian Branch, who 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:56.520 could play in the slot, and and they're I think 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.440 they're They're a little bit compromised on the outside with 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:01.760 with Cameron Sudden, he's been nicked up a little bit. 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:03.760 I think they can make some plays on the outside. 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.800 The safety group is good, but Branch is a nickel 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:08.920 coming out of Alabama, he was a safety. 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.680 He can play, he can cover, He's shown he can cover. 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.280 I don't know how much I would put Ceedee Lamb 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:16.280 in the slot this week. 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:17.440 I just don't. 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:19.800 And I know Lamb makes a lot of his player. 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:21.760 You know, he's had a large number of his plays 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.920 have been on the outside. His slot play stuff is 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:28.760 super impressive. As impressive as we all know, Branch is 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:32.880 really good at covering and he can all these guys 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:37.240 are kind of ballhawking players, and so Dak needs to 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:39.200 be aware of that. But if i'm if I'm Mike 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:42.440 McCarthy and the staff, I'm trying to keep Ceedee Lamb 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.360 away from Brian Branch number thirty two as much as 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:46.560 I can in this football game. 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:47.960 All Right, we're gonna take our first break. 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:49.920 We will come back, we will get into a little 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.160 bit of game actioneer from Amber.
