But it's when you meet a Dominican 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:33.360 hearing the DFW area. That's very rare.

So 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:07.240 last night was watch Eagles defense, listen. 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:07.600 To the game. 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.720 And so that was a that's the old krusty way 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.440 of doing things, listening to a baseball game. But I 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.400 pulled it off. So yeah, and got a parade tomorrow, 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:17.600 so looking forward. 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:17.799 To that too. 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.280 You're born and raised here in Dallas, so I signed. Yeah, 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.120 it's just I mean again, I've only been in Dallas. 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:23.800 I moved to Dallas in nineteen ninety seven. 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:24.680 Yeah, so I've been. 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.880 Here for a long time. I know, stop. I've been 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.359 here for a long time, but it's just I assume 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.400 when you've been born and raised here, it's nothing like 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.040 seeing a champion in your city. 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:34.400 Yeah. 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.880 I my first game that I went to was in 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.200 nineteen seventy two. That's how long ago that was. I 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.919 was born and so yeah, thanks, Wow. 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:46.480 The only person I can act exactly the rest of 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.079 you guys, y'all do that to me, so I could 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:48.600 do it to Brunt. 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:48.959 Yeah. 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.040 So, but yeah, I remember going to games at the 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:55.160 old Arlington Stadium. And what's really funny is that there's 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:59.080 a lot of Ranger baseball fans that where the scars 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:04.680 of ten, twenty eleven of not having success. And I 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.919 said it on the radio yesterday that I don't wear 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.320 those scars because there was a side of me that 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.800 was so involved with what we were doing here with football, 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.600 you know, and my life has been really since nine 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:16.960 years old, has been football. 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:18.360 And so funny when. 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.280 You're you know, you're a fan of I was going 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.280 to games as a kid, and then you go away 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.000 and then you go start your profession and you're like, eh, 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:28.960 you know, but the Rangers haven't been good for a 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.520 long time. That's the thing about it is you lose. 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.680 But I got so involved in football and teams I 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.360 was with and all that I just didn't have the 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:37.840 time to really invest in. 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.240 But now being on the radio. 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:42.960 And having to talk about it every day, you don't 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.680 want to sound like an idiot, so you invest that way. 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.800 And so it's it's nice to see they've done a 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.080 great job. The guy that's been Chris Young, who's the 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.720 general manager, is a DFW guy. 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.760 He's a Highland Park guy. So though it's got to. 0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.960 Be super special, the only thing I can equate it 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:03.080 too is coming to work at the Cowboys in nineteen 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:07.480 ninety nine and being from Dallas and imagining trying to 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.760 win a championship for the Cowboys with a team that 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:14.440 I spent twenty years of following, as you know, as 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:18.200 a teenager and then into an adult. So, you know, 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.120 really happy for Chris, the fact that he's from here. 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.000 He every time we've ever interviewed him, he's been like, 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.560 I just want this for the fans. I just want 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.320 this for the fans. And you know, he those we 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.400 all know this. We all invest in this. I mean, 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.120 your your life, seven days a week, you invest in this, 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:38.440 and and congratulations of them the investment actually paid off. 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.039 I mean they one hundred deserve it, and that's that's 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.600 saying the least. And like you, I'm a transplant to 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.200 Dallas and I got here about five years ago, transplant 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.039 from Georgia. For everyone that might not know, hints you 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.200 don't follow him, Yeah, I don't know how. 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.200 He will show up in your ballyard with a Braves uniform. 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:57.640 I mean I saw that with my own crowd. 0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:58.960 Georgia got it. 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.000 But I'm a baseball guy and I just love live 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.479 baseball and I'm a former baseball player and just to 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.880 feel the energy the air. So, you know, being here 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.240 in Dallas not being able to see my Braves live often, 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:11.960 what do you do? You go to Rangers games, so 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.120 you know effective you know, four or five years ago, 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.040 I started going to Rangers games. Like Brian said, he 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.320 seen me walking through a globe life both parts. 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:20.440 The older park end the new park. 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:24.239 And having seen, you know, the struggles that those guys 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.240 had on those on the field as far as trying 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.120 to generate wins and seeing what the fandom went through 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.640 when those hard times and hard times, and then seeing 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.760 them flip and then that switch flip and them being 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.880 able to do the rebuild similar not entirely dissimilar from 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.840 how my Braves did it when the Braves were going 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.480 through some rough times. And then in twenty one, twenty 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.279 twenty one, we get Alex Anthropolis. He comes in, he 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:47.359 gets aggressive, he makes the moves, the same way that 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.799 Chris Young made the moves. So to see the Rangers 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.480 fans being able to just get the demons off of 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.400 their back and then it just celebrate this. That's why 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.359 I said last night on Twitter, drink this, d like, 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.560 try to absorb as much of this as possible, because 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:03.599 there's just nothing like being a world champion, especially when 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.240 you do it by overcoming the adversity they had to 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.440 do it with Dallas goals out, what happens, Marcus steps 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:10.480 up and he heats up. 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.760 Corey was just Corey. You have role players. 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:17.760 Jankowski step in what Eavaldi did last night, getting himself 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.839 in jams and then hoodnian himself out of Jamesrazy. They 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.760 would getting no hit through almost seven innings, but they 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.640 never said die. So Rangers fans, cheers to you, hats 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:32.160 off to you. Enjoy this and just know that next 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:33.800 year we're trying to take that belt off you. 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.200 I will say this though too real quick. You know, 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.400 people say that they bought a championship. 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:41.080 No, no, we're not doing that. 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.119 No, I you know what they did, to be honest 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:45.479 with you as a fan, bring it to me. 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:45.800 Yeah. 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:50.320 Absolutely, The ownership spent over five hundred million dollars on players. 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:51.680 I'm like, I don't care. 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:53.160 You know you do it. I don't care. 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.520 I don't don't tell me about it, you know, just 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:57.640 all I care about is when the hand you the trophy. 0:06:58.040 --> 0:06:59.960 I don't care how much your who spends the money 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.240 or where the money. I just you know, if you're 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.800 if that's if it's about developing players, sure, but if 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.280 it's about going out and buying the best players too, 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:09.680 I'm all from that also. 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:10.800 I just and you're not wrong. 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:14.520 What bothers me about that is when the narrative is inaccurate, 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:18.200 because when you look at the net spending for the Rangers, 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.760 it's only three three and a half million more than 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:21.880 the same Astros team. 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:22.040 That. 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:23.920 Oh no, that's That's what I'm saying. 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:25.200 So I have no problem. 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:28.480 Then it's yeah, people that always in Keys Dodgers, Okay, 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.560 that's a true story. But for this Rangers team, it's 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:35.240 not again, it's the the arc of it is similar 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.200 to what the Braves did in twenty one. The Braves 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:42.160 didn't outspend everyone. It's about positions, right. The Braves do 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.520 a great job whole positions. And then the skipper, the 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.640 skipper Bouchie getting Bochie off of the recliner to come 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:49.480 in and just do what. 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:50.720 He spend money on that one too. 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:52.280 Yeah, So there you go. They did it all the 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:52.840 right way. 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.440 And yes they spent money, they were aggressive, but they 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:56.440 didn't buy it. 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:57.320 They earned it. 0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.119 Yeah, I'll tell you this. The fact of the matter 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.160 is that that this is this moment, This is what 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:04.360 being a fan really is all about. 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:04.480 It. 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.040 You do go through those rough years, and that's the thing, 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.920 Like it makes those rough years all the more sweeter 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:12.560 when you can get to this moment. And so that's 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.720 part of fandom. Fan Nick Nick and I used to 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.240 always say, you don't choose to. 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:17.640 Be a fan. 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.680 Fandom chooses you, like you get your team, and then 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.320 getting your team means that sometimes you're gonna have to 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.160 go through those really really rough times and those drafts 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.640 can last a very long time. Talk to Cubs fans 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.320 like it happened. You can last, it can last a 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.280 very long time. But when you get that moment, you 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:35.560 get that moment when you're at the top, it is 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.920 so worth it and so sweet and you just kind 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:39.680 of keep going through it. 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.160 You know, it was like a week ago, I would 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.280 constantly hear people Rangers suck. 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.600 Oh we're terrible, all we suck. 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.560 And these are people that are fans, obviously their own fans. 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:53.880 So to see just how everything just quickly change. And 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.400 I say quickly in quotation because you talk about all 0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:00.160 those years. But it's it's fun and I will wish, 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.400 I freaking wish I could go to the parade. 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.480 I can't you want to go for me? 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.439 Child want to watch? 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.040 Well, there will be children a parade. 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:12.560 It's a parade. 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:13.560 A kid loves parade. 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.000 I think en of me and by myself surviving being 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.280 in a crowd of people. I don't want. 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.240 To take care of a kid. That makes it a. 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.840 Freaking which. But just like that, you never know when 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:28.679 the cowboys can flip that switch. 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.360 To maybe Derek and I were talking about this, maybe 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:35.200 happened before that in a city, and that energy starts 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.760 kind of just permeating throughout the city and it's just something. 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:38.880 In the water. 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:42.559 We say, ranger ranges went it. All Stars of Contenders. 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.160 Cowboys are continued, Maps are playing well right now, there 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:45.520 you go. 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.480 You my size, my ring size? 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:51.880 Oh oh you know what you know? 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.080 You know you bring it in. 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.360 You know about rings. It's so funny, real quick story. 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.839 The ladies in Green Bay they had ladies rings for 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:03.440 the championship, and the lady said, hell no, we want. 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:07.920 To Yeah, the ladies ladies raised. 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:13.520 The ladies raised such a stink that my boss goes, Okay, 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.120 well let's yeah, they want big rings. 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.079 Let's go. So the ladies all they didn't want the 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.160 lady style ring. They wanted the big ring. 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:21.960 I mean, if you gotta do it, if you gotta 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.520 do it, do it, you know. All right, let's get 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:28.960 back to Cowboys. Let's let's talk about the injury report. Uh, Patrick, 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.840 give me an update on where we are the four guys, particularly, 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.679 I wanted to get an update on Tyron Smith, Tuma Edoga, 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:36.920 Michael Gallup and jay Ron Curse. 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.640 All right, so too many Dooga was limited yesterday in practice, 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:42.040 which is definitely promising. 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:43.560 Again, he's dealing with. 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.520 What is described as a low ankle spring much much 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.120 better as far as working through it than a high 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:51.720 ankle spring. So he looks very good for going Barney. 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.600 He setbacks this week. He looks good to go against 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:57.120 Philadelphia Tyron Smith. It was expected that he'd be with 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.640 the rehab group on Wednesday, and he was DNP didn't 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.719 opportun some pay earlier in the week. McCarthy said that 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.360 he tried to ramp up Tyron Smith on today Thursday. 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.160 So today's injury report is key as far as Tyron 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:09.400 Smith's progress is concerned. 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:10.800 Yeah, I would keep an eye on that one. 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.040 It sounds like to me they're going to keep him 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.720 off the practice field today because they're worried that they 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:18.520 don't want to get the They dodn't want to bang 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.920 him up, right, they don't want somebody like all Suddeny's 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.160 practicing and then there's a hit and then so I 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.720 would anticipate he is not going to practice today. It's 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.080 always like we've talked about get into Saturday, probably even 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.160 get him to Sunday if they have to, but today 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:33.680 is probably not going to be a practice. 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:35.720 That is one hundred percent the vibe I'm getting the 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:39.120 Cowboys don't want him to take on any unnecessary contact 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:40.760 this week, so they'll have. 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:41.880 Him go through walkthroughs. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.320 But as far as getting down there and lining up 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.200 against guys go full speeding practice for as much as 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.360 they can, probably not going to happen. 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:50.040 But we'll see. 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.199 There was a lot of rest yesterday Wednesday, is you know, 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:57.640 now become the Cowboys veteran rest day Cooks rested, Stefan Gilmore, rest, 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.480 Jonathan Hankins, rest of Marcus Lawrence rest with Lewis and 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.600 Zach mar And both rested as well. Jay Ron Curse 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:07.240 popped up with a toe injury. Spoke with him yesterday. Now, 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.040 the injury report came out after locker room access, but 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.559 in speaking with jay Ron before, I was actually surprised 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.640 this showed up because the way he was talking, he's playing. 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.679 I mean, I don't get any indication from him whatsoever 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.400 that he's concerned about it, that it's going to bother him. 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:25.559 Asked him about covering Dallas. Goddard just has a strategic 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.520 question and he was like, you know, I'm not in 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:30.000 the mood to talk. I'm ready to go out there 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.000 and get it on. That's not what you hear from 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.760 a guy who's worried about availability for this coming week. 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.040 So keep an eye on Jaron Curse. We'll see if 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.760 the Cowboys let him do anything today in practice. But 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.120 it sounds like he's going to go. 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:46.360 I have a question in case something crazy, and it 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.440 could very well happen. But let's say Tyron and Tuma 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:51.960 are no go or they do start the game and 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.640 then they come out and come off, would you guys 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:59.040 stick with richers or would you do some shuffling of 0:12:59.160 --> 0:12:59.960 like moving people. 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.439 Man, this is the times that I wish I lived 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.920 in the building still because I could figure out who 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.120 was going to if if in fact that maybe Tyler 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.160 Smith is practicing a little bit, are they maybe of 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.600 the eight reps, is he getting two reps playing tackle? 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:16.400 I don't think they want to move him. 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:17.040 I think they would. 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.240 I think it's going to be awesome. Richards would be 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:22.920 that would be to answer your question. Would I don't 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.440 think that they would They would put Tyler Smith outside? 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.520 But if you knew that he was taking two of 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:32.720 the eight reps matt tackle, maybe you would think. Okay, 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.840 it's the thought that they have. But if it's all 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.840 reps at guard I don't. I don't think they would 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:39.200 move him. 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.360 I really don't, you know, I'm starting to get the impression, 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.360 and I could be totally off, but just you know, 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.640 just random conversations with people around the building, I'm starting 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:48.080 to get the impression that I don't know that they 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.679 would necessarily remove Tyler Smith at whatever point Tyron Smith 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.720 is no longer here. I'm starting to get the impression 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.360 I think they may even they may be looking at 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.240 it and being like, this guy may be one of 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.560 the best guards in the NFL right now. And if 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:03.400 he's one of the best guards in the NFL, it's 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.679 a Larry Allen type situation, right do you move him 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.800 to tackle to see if he can become the best 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:10.640 tackle or one of the best tackles in the NFL? 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:12.319 Or do you keep him at god guard where he's 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.920 already one of the best guards in the NFL. And 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.839 I think it's a it's an interesting question, and it's 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:18.760 an off season question. 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:19.920 It's more important to you. 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.960 Honestly, I would say this. I think it's very clear 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.080 left tackle is probably the most important position on the 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:29.840 offensive line. However, I will also say, if you tell me, 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:33.120 I can have a pretty good tackle versus having a 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.720 great guard. I'm gonna take the great guard and keep throwing, throwing, 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:38.640 throwing the dice at tackle and see what I can 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.240 come up with, See if Austin Richards can develop into 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:42.280 a tackle for the future. 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:42.680 Right. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.760 I just think you may it may be a situation 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.480 where you can't say the same thing about Zach Martin. 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:50.080 Zach Martin probably if they would have moved in the 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.400 tackle would probably be a really good tackle in the NFL. 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:54.040 Would he have been as great as he's been A 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.840 guard who knows he never had that opportunity. So it's 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.040 it's I would rather take the guy that I know 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.760 is going to be great than a guy pretty good 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.840 or even pretty or even very good at a position 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:05.720 at a different position. 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.200 I don't think you're wrong in the thought process that's 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.840 probably happening in the coaching staff and upstairs with the 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.880 front office as it relates to Tyler Smith, Because when 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:17.800 you look at even recently this past Tuesday, when Jerry 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:21.240 was asked about the possibility of tumor and Tyer not playing, 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.440 does that mean Tyler pop out? You could have thought 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:26.920 that he had analogy like he's allergic to that thought 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:28.640 he was like, oh oh, before we go in talking 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.400 about all that, So that's the vibe. But then also 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.520 you go and you know, you use a fifth round pick. 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:35.120 I believe when. 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.080 Austin Richards Asstin Richards could be that guy. 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:38.920 And you make an excellent point because flip it to 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.520 the right side of that offensive line, right you have 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:44.080 Zach Martin. Until your point, maybe Zach Martin is a 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.520 very good right tackle for the entirety of his career, 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:48.760 but he's a Hall of Fame guard. 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:50.720 That's why would you have at right tackle. 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:52.880 You try Lyle Collins there, and then you put Terrence 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.600 Steele there who came in as an undrafted guy and 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.920 he turns out. So the importance, I'll answer your question, 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.600 My more important is is protecting that blind side. But 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.120 when you look at the totality of the offensive line, 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.480 the interior needs to be the strongest of that offensive 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.880 line on any team, because we talk about it weekend, 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.680 week out. If you can disrupt the pocket from the interior, 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.640 then as a defense, you've already won that belt. 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.200 And don't forget the division you play in. Yeah, the 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:21.120 strength is the interior of those defensive lines. You're gonna 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.560 be playing, so you could make the argument in this 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.160 division it may be just as important to have really 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.840 great guards as it is to have tackles. Yeah, absolutely right, 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:31.280 all right, we're gonna go ahead and take our first rek. 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.280 When we come back, we're gonna jump into the Dallas 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.360 offense versus the Philadelphia defense. We'll be back Dallas. Cowboys 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:36.960 dot Com Radio. 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:39.640 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.640 Cheatah Savannah.

Never a Star photo 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:14.160 last year. 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.520 No remember when Dave was still here and we talked 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.520 about them for like a long time, and we still 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:22.960 never went and walked a few steps over there. 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:23.200 To take it. 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:26.760 I blame you. You were the whole up. 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.720 Probably photos you guys took at the holiday party we 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:31.600 used to have a Probably. 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:32.760 I missed the holiday party. 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:35.680 I missed the holiday party at Texas Stadium. 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:36.440 Yeah, me too. 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:38.960 That four before we got so big. 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:46.800 Yeah, was very like what happens in Vegas stays and 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:47.840 it was a good time. 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.240 We'll just say it was a good time. 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:53.320 Was it was a mess, It was a good time. 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:53.800 All right. 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.399 Let's talk Cowboys offense in a good way? Yes, versus 0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:59.240 Eagles defense? Brian, what do you have? 0:19:59.720 --> 0:19:59.960 Yeah? 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.520 I think that when you look at this Eagle defense, 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:06.080 the strength of it is their defensive line, and it's 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.000 gonna come down to a couple of different things you 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:11.040 really have to be worried about. I think when you 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:15.000 start to talk about their edges, Hassan Reddick and then 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:17.760 Josh Sweat, I think of the two that that factor 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:19.520 into a lot of what you're going to try and 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:23.679 do here. Maybe protection wise, they're good inside with Fletcher Cox, 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:26.640 Jordan Davis, and Jalen Carter. Jalen Carter's been a little 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:30.520 bit banged up of this uh this, uh, this time. 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:34.480 He's got a back injury, and so the reports are 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:36.520 that they're gonna, you know, it's gonna give it be 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:38.960 a close for him to play. If that's the case, 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:41.479 that's a that's a nice break for the Cowboys because 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:43.879 as a defensive tackle, he's got three and a half sacks. 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:46.560 Fletcher Cox is a little bit long in the tooth. 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:46.840 Now. 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:49.200 You can see teams are starting to move him a 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.040 little bit when you watch him on tape. It used 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:54.359 to be he was really a steady, sturdy guy at 0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:56.359 the point of attack, but now people are kind of 0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:59.119 trying to wheel him and then get him off the ball. 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:03.879 Davis is a massive guy. Just it's my old saying. 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:06.440 Was always a trash can full of dirt. That's that's 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:08.840 what Jordan Davis is. He could be a hard guy 0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:11.320 to move. He's just gonna be a straight ahead passer rusher. 0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:13.480 So that kind of takes care of the inside guys. 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:16.560 But the outside guys I mentioned with Reddick, I mean, 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.199 this guy is he's primarily going to line up on 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:22.280 the on your right side of the offense, the defensive 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:25.960 left side of the ball. He's explosive, He's really good 0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:28.760 with his hands. He's going to break you down pretty quickly. 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:32.480 This is going to be an interesting matchup with him 0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:35.720 and Terrence Steele, and Steele has faced him before, so he. 0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:37.119 Kind of has an idea. 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.840 I wouldn't be surprised if it's if there's some help 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:44.960 over to that side, some chipping, maybe some line the 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:47.679 tight ends over there, create a little make him Reddick 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:49.800 play a little bit wider. If you put a man 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:52.000 in there, he's got to go a man outside of that. 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:54.960 So maybe you just take him off the ball a 0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:57.120 little bit more, or make him a little wider from 0:21:57.200 --> 0:22:00.119 the ball, but him and still going to have a 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:05.720 battle over there. Sweat's gonna be opposite. He's long, he's rangey. 0:22:05.840 --> 0:22:08.719 He doesn't have the quickness I don't think of Reddick, 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:11.480 but he gets the job done in a different way. 0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:12.479 Tyron Smith. 0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:16.280 I'm penciling Tyron Smith is playing this one, uh and 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:19.480 with with that, with that in mind, but he's really 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:22.040 all arms and legs. When he comes off as a 0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:25.240 pass rusher, there's a lot going on with his rush. 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:28.480 You'll see him sometimes get caught up on blockers, and 0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:31.600 that's that's a good thing because he's like he's trying 0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:33.879 to make a move. Blockers catch him and then it 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:37.359 stops his charge where Reddick's a little bit more of 0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:40.000 a quicker and then is able to kind of escape 0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:43.800 the thing. That the thing that I would attack of 0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:48.280 those two with sweat. He's super aggressive, and I mean 0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:51.440 when you watch teams play and they run the boots 0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:54.879 or they run the jet sweeps to his side, he 0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:58.760 is so interested in flying down inside and being that 0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:02.639 guy go run to chase the ball backside, make the play, 0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:05.399 make the tackle. I've seen some teams been able to 0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:08.640 take advantage of that with him. So if the Cowboys 0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:13.440 are going to to kind of scheme somebody here, maybe 0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:16.120 it's Reddick, keep him a little wide with the guy 0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:19.159 over there across or next to him, and then also 0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:21.840 then take advantage of sweat as much as the boots 0:23:21.880 --> 0:23:24.400 and the waggles that's coming out the left side there 0:23:24.440 --> 0:23:27.359 for the Cowboys, and that's a comfortable throw for Dak Prescott. 0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:29.720 He can make that throw going to his left, So 0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:31.359 that those are a couple. That's how I look at 0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:32.800 their defensive line right now. 0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:35.000 Real quick, before you move on to the secondary or 0:23:35.040 --> 0:23:38.600 the linebackers. One thing I noticed they are second in 0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:42.160 pressure rate with a four man frust without blitzing at 0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:44.600 forty point seven. Cowboys the only team that's better right 0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:48.040 at that Who do you think of those four down linemen, 0:23:48.400 --> 0:23:51.320 who do you think is the toughest matchup for the 0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:53.640 Cowboys when you look at who they'll be facing primarily, 0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:54.840 who's the toughest mass Redick? 0:23:54.960 --> 0:23:56.159 I think I think it's Reddick. 0:23:56.240 --> 0:24:00.000 And because the one thing that steell is is still 0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:02.640 is a good foot athlete, so still can mirror him. 0:24:02.680 --> 0:24:06.639 Still has to be careful not to be overly aggressive. 0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:09.680 They're gonna get with Reddick, You're gonna get a lot 0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:12.560 of movement, and you have to be patient. That's where 0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:15.880 still sometimes because there's a little bit of some lack 0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:17.960 of power in the way he plays. So what he 0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:20.040 wants to do is he wants to set short and 0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:22.720 then try and jam a guy so that guy doesn't 0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:25.880 get going. So with Reddick and all that movement, be patient, 0:24:25.920 --> 0:24:27.719 be patient, be patient. Let him move all that boy 0:24:27.800 --> 0:24:29.960 he's doing all that movement stuff, he's not getting to 0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:33.640 the quarterback. So but I do think that the one 0:24:33.680 --> 0:24:36.360 I would be the concern the most about is him 0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:39.199 on that side because I think I think that Tyron 0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:42.119 Smith on the other side can handle Josh Sweat in 0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:43.439 this game, I really do. 0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:45.520 I The problem. 0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:49.119 Might be a little bit with Jordan Davis because he 0:24:49.240 --> 0:24:52.240 lines up as like a head up nose at time, 0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:55.080 but it's a it's a four to three front, so 0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:57.840 it's kind of different. Usually you have him where they 0:24:57.920 --> 0:25:00.760 play in shades, but Jordan Davis, when he lines up 0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:05.040 like right over the nose, we'll see if be oddish, snap, 0:25:05.480 --> 0:25:07.720 get the hand up, try and stop a guy, because 0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:09.800 Davis is just going to try and walk it straight 0:25:09.840 --> 0:25:13.200 back and strong and he's and he's really really really strong, 0:25:13.240 --> 0:25:16.360 and you know, and Patrick knows these guys very very well, 0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:19.680 Carter Davis. These guys are all white players that were 0:25:20.040 --> 0:25:22.600 you know, on his national championship teams at Georgia and 0:25:22.640 --> 0:25:25.480 then they're they're they're they're outstanding players. And I think 0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:28.600 the Eagles they can affect the middle of that pocket. 0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:30.920 We talk about the push, and maybe that's one of 0:25:30.920 --> 0:25:33.080 the reasons why again you keep a Tyler Smith there 0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:34.840 at at guard to handle stuff like this. 0:25:34.960 --> 0:25:36.879 Can you talk a little bit more about the running 0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:39.280 game and how that may look like. 0:25:39.400 --> 0:25:40.400 They don't let you run the ball. 0:25:40.560 --> 0:25:43.040 Ye, this is not this is not going to be 0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:44.800 the team to try to get the run game going 0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:48.000 against They've only allowed three rushing touchdowns three point eight 0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:50.240 yards per carry out. 0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:53.200 To release out. 0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:55.919 As Brian is going to get to, this is the 0:25:55.960 --> 0:25:58.120 game where the secondary can be there. You go, this 0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:00.680 is a past first, and then you say right to 0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:02.840 run that way. But you're not going to go in 0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:05.119 there and run down these guys. This is not the 0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:05.639 day for that. 0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:07.639 The team that's run the ball the best against them 0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:10.399 has been the Commanders actually the two games that they played, 0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:13.880 but they've only given up eleven runs of ten plus yards. 0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:15.600 I mean, they just don't. 0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:15.920 They don't. 0:26:15.960 --> 0:26:16.440 They just don't. 0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:17.320 They just don't allow it. 0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:19.199 To hell, what did the Commanders do? Did they do 0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:20.520 anything different than all. 0:26:20.400 --> 0:26:21.600 The teams Commanders? 0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:24.600 Commanders are a funny team because what they do is 0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:27.280 I feel like they got a physical offensive line and 0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:30.399 sometimes you know you're able to match, you're able to 0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:34.040 match bodies on bodies. But the Robinson, the backs that 0:26:34.119 --> 0:26:37.360 they have, guys are a little bit slippery. The kind 0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:38.880 of the guy they see the hole, they get through 0:26:38.880 --> 0:26:41.560 the hole. These guys struggle a little bit I think 0:26:41.560 --> 0:26:45.960 at linebacker, and this is no disrespect to Nikobe Dean, 0:26:46.080 --> 0:26:48.320 and because he's another I think another really good player, 0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:52.560 him and Zach Zach Cunningham both or I think that 0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:55.920 to me though the Commanders took advantage of they were. 0:26:56.320 --> 0:26:57.840 Dean is a shorter guy. 0:26:58.000 --> 0:27:01.280 He's right at six foot tall, and he will gamble 0:27:01.560 --> 0:27:03.680 on where the ball is going to be stuff. He's 0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:06.880 a really good downhill player, but he'll gamble a little bit, 0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:09.360 get caught up on some blocks and you could run 0:27:09.400 --> 0:27:11.399 the ball out him because of his lack of height. 0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:14.439 But if you're going to run the ball wide on 0:27:14.520 --> 0:27:16.800 these guts, no chance Dean's going to run you down 0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:20.159 from behind. That's just that's how he plays. He's really 0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:22.760 really good. These guys really aren't good, Patrick mintioned, they're not. 0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:26.120 The linebackers aren't particularly good in past coverage. That's the 0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:28.600 thing that you get Dean is when you look at 0:27:28.600 --> 0:27:30.560 if you look at metrics numbers and stuff. I just 0:27:30.600 --> 0:27:33.920 wanted to check eleven for eleven and targets and receptions 0:27:34.480 --> 0:27:37.760 on him, and then Cunningham is twenty five of thirty two. 0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:40.919 So a little bit of some struggle with coverage on 0:27:42.160 --> 0:27:46.320 when they're putting those situations, but the secondary here is 0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:48.760 the one that you really really need to go after 0:27:49.160 --> 0:27:53.720 and I and just watch it. Their nickel situation is 0:27:53.800 --> 0:27:58.200 not good right now. And when Maddox is out, Bradley 0:27:58.320 --> 0:28:02.119 Roby's been dealing with a pecs rain. Yeah, so they've 0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:05.720 they've struggled to try and find Sydney Brown has been 0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:08.119 the guy that they're kind of fitting in. Him and 0:28:08.240 --> 0:28:11.159 Josh Job have come in and played as the nickel. 0:28:11.960 --> 0:28:15.199 But I'll say this, when you look at when you 0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:18.760 look at at at, I think that you know Kevin 0:28:18.800 --> 0:28:20.760 Byron has come in. They made a trade for him 0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:23.800 at the safety spot, and he's one of those guys 0:28:23.840 --> 0:28:26.720 that he's been. He's he's a good player. He was 0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:29.400 great at one time. He's still a good player. He's 0:28:29.440 --> 0:28:32.479 a plus player when it comes running pass when you 0:28:32.520 --> 0:28:36.000 watch him play. But James Bradbury is a guy that 0:28:36.240 --> 0:28:37.560 has had some problems. 0:28:37.640 --> 0:28:40.000 Yes, and and and and and. 0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:43.360 That's and Slay Darius Slay is going to play on 0:28:43.400 --> 0:28:45.320 the left side, Bradbury is going to play on the 0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:48.520 right side. And they really don't flop very much. They 0:28:48.600 --> 0:28:51.400 kind of stay stationary in the way they play. But 0:28:51.480 --> 0:28:56.120 the commanders lit these guys up, and Bradbury especially, they've 0:28:56.160 --> 0:28:59.760 they've he's given up five touchdown passes this year. So 0:28:59.880 --> 0:29:05.240 I would challenge him in every way their nickel, and 0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:09.280 then challenge Bradbury. I think Slay is more competitive. I 0:29:09.280 --> 0:29:11.360 think he's more willing to kind of stick his nose 0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:13.800 in there. Bradbury's a little bit more of a cautious guy, 0:29:14.440 --> 0:29:17.040 so I would take advantage of him being cautious that one. 0:29:17.200 --> 0:29:19.280 I'll real quickly throw this in as well. I noticed 0:29:19.320 --> 0:29:22.520 this on our next Gen stats Darius Slay this year, 0:29:22.640 --> 0:29:26.240 he's allowed more receptions fourteen and more yards two hundred 0:29:26.240 --> 0:29:28.880 and eight in man coverage in twenty twenty three than 0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:31.959 all of twenty twenty two, and we're not even halfway 0:29:31.960 --> 0:29:34.520 through the season. In addition to that, he's allowing three 0:29:34.520 --> 0:29:37.400 point one yards of separation this year last year one 0:29:37.440 --> 0:29:40.440 point seven, so almost double the amount of separation he's 0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:43.560 allowing this year then last year. Slay's still a really 0:29:43.600 --> 0:29:45.880 good cornerback, don't get me wrong, but there have been 0:29:45.920 --> 0:29:47.640 some holes in his game this year that's. 0:29:47.440 --> 0:29:48.080 Been last year. 0:29:48.120 --> 0:29:51.760 There's spend holes in this entire secondary, and I think 0:29:51.840 --> 0:29:55.560 the deodor that helps it from stinking is the. 0:29:55.560 --> 0:29:58.560 Fact that their their pass rush is so good. Yeah, 0:29:58.600 --> 0:30:01.640 their front's good. Ye, that's the problem. And without blitzing 0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:02.640 and without. 0:30:02.400 --> 0:30:04.880 Blitzing, yeah, I believe they were like they've had twenty 0:30:04.880 --> 0:30:05.400 five sacks. 0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:07.200 I think it was seventeen. I saw what they've done 0:30:07.240 --> 0:30:08.000 without even blitzing. 0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:10.479 Yeah, they're number one in actual total number of sacks 0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:13.360 with a four man pressure. Right, But there's pressure percentage, 0:30:13.480 --> 0:30:15.160 it's it's second behind the Cowboy right. 0:30:15.440 --> 0:30:17.560 So you're going to have to deal with that though. 0:30:17.520 --> 0:30:18.480 And here's the segue. 0:30:18.520 --> 0:30:22.640 Wonderful point because the way they because Slay is allowing 0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:25.160 more yardage, and because brad Berry is struggling the way 0:30:25.200 --> 0:30:27.880 he's struggling, what they try to do is protect those 0:30:27.960 --> 0:30:30.600 guys by doing less man and it's more zone. So 0:30:30.880 --> 0:30:33.320 here's the good news for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys 0:30:33.360 --> 0:30:35.400 offense and for Cowboys fans who want to know, again, 0:30:35.440 --> 0:30:36.840 this is not the team you want to try to 0:30:36.920 --> 0:30:38.320 run establish a run against. 0:30:38.600 --> 0:30:39.800 But this is zone. 0:30:39.600 --> 0:30:43.840 Coverage sixty six seven percent, sixty seven percent, six sixty 0:30:43.880 --> 0:30:46.200 seven percent of the time this season they drop back 0:30:46.240 --> 0:30:49.840 and they give you zone. Dak Prescott has been lethal 0:30:50.160 --> 0:30:53.640 against zone coverage. Ceed Lamb has been lethal And if 0:30:53.680 --> 0:30:56.520 you want real life examples of this outside of numbers, 0:30:56.680 --> 0:31:00.520 the Jets ran zone ceedee lamb lit them up. Rams 0:31:00.600 --> 0:31:03.680 ran zone ceedee lamb lit them up. The Chargers ran 0:31:03.840 --> 0:31:07.080 zone Cede Lamb lit them up. Dak Prescott, if you 0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:10.920 present him with his own defense, then more often than not, 0:31:11.240 --> 0:31:13.520 he's going to get going. That office is going to 0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:16.480 start cooking. Only one third of the time they run, man, 0:31:16.680 --> 0:31:18.880 that's because they're trying to protect Slay. They're trying to 0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:21.640 protect bad Bradberry. So yes, Slay is still still a 0:31:21.680 --> 0:31:23.760 big time player. They also like to run a lot 0:31:23.800 --> 0:31:26.320 of single high coverage as far as their safety is concerned. 0:31:26.560 --> 0:31:27.560 Players are going to be there. 0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:30.560 But wherever Bradberry is, you have to circle him and 0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:32.040 attack him and make him career. 0:31:32.240 --> 0:31:35.760 Well. I want to know, based on the way they play, 0:31:36.120 --> 0:31:40.600 does this take away Dak's ability to run? Is this 0:31:40.680 --> 0:31:43.520 a game where you're just now pulling back on that 0:31:43.560 --> 0:31:44.360 aspect of his. 0:31:44.320 --> 0:31:48.200 Lia No, I I was just gonna say, I think 0:31:48.200 --> 0:31:49.840 it depends a little bit on what they do with 0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:54.320 the linebackers. If they say we respect Dak's ability to run, 0:31:54.360 --> 0:31:57.400 So much that in those types of downs and those situations, 0:31:57.760 --> 0:32:01.560 we will have Dean basically I him. Then that could 0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:04.080 change things because Deans a guy that can run sideline 0:32:04.080 --> 0:32:06.520 the sidelines. Brian's saying, yeah, So if they want to 0:32:06.560 --> 0:32:11.120 invest that that person in taking Dac away, they can. 0:32:11.200 --> 0:32:13.680 But that's also part of the whole strategy is sure, 0:32:13.680 --> 0:32:15.360 if you want to give any somebody that you're gonna 0:32:15.360 --> 0:32:16.920 take out of it, and you just took coverage, right, 0:32:16.920 --> 0:32:18.760 if you're gonna take somebody out of coverage, then great, 0:32:18.800 --> 0:32:21.200 I'll sit in the pocket and I'll and again here's 0:32:21.200 --> 0:32:23.760 the big key, I will hope my offensive line can 0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:26.120 hold up without me getting outside the pocket. Like that's 0:32:26.160 --> 0:32:28.040 also the part of it where they've been able to 0:32:28.040 --> 0:32:30.680 get pressure with four. So if they've got that spy there, 0:32:30.960 --> 0:32:34.080 Dak can't really escape. Now it's gonna they're gonna rely 0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:35.960 on the offensive line and really have to hold up 0:32:36.120 --> 0:32:37.920 for the receivers to get open. That's the part that 0:32:37.920 --> 0:32:41.640 gets a little bit dicey. But again Texas Coast offense 0:32:41.720 --> 0:32:44.560 is predicated on quick passing that should be able to 0:32:44.640 --> 0:32:47.160 gate some of that speed that they have in getting 0:32:47.160 --> 0:32:49.760 to the quarterback. If they do it effectively and if 0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:51.640 they can hold up those blocks just long enough for 0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:52.240 them to get the ball. 0:32:52.280 --> 0:32:55.760 And there's also the aspect of using the spy against 0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:58.160 the defense that's doing it, because let's say an example, 0:32:58.200 --> 0:33:00.800 they use Nikobe Dean's a spy on deck Prescott. Okay, 0:33:00.920 --> 0:33:03.360 first benefit takes him out of coverage because he's focused 0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:06.160 in on Dak Prescott. Second positive is if the pocket 0:33:06.200 --> 0:33:08.880 is breaking down, Let's say Dak thinks about running, but 0:33:08.920 --> 0:33:11.200 he doesn't actually go. He just leaks out just enough 0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:14.040 to drag Nakobe out of the middle of that field, 0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:17.400 which exposes the middle for Cooks, Ferguson or a. 0:33:17.320 --> 0:33:18.400 Slanting CD Lamb. 0:33:18.440 --> 0:33:20.800 So you can penalize the other team for spying the 0:33:20.880 --> 0:33:23.520 quarterback as long as you as long as the threat 0:33:23.800 --> 0:33:25.200 is still there, is what I'm saying. 0:33:25.240 --> 0:33:27.680 So don't take the threat away by any means. 0:33:28.760 --> 0:33:30.280 All Right, We're gonna take our final break when we 0:33:30.320 --> 0:33:32.560 come back. We got a few more questions on this matchup, 0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:35.280 Cowboys offense versus phillyfent defense. We'll be back Dallas Cowboys 0:33:35.320 --> 0:33:35.920 dot Com Radio. 0:33:37.400 --> 0:33:39.080 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:33:39.160 --> 0:33:42.080 cheetah Savannah Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought 0:33:42.120 --> 0:33:45.040 online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be 0:33:45.080 --> 0:33:47.720 faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. 0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:50.080 But the good news is Todd has at and T 0:33:50.200 --> 0:33:52.840 five G.

My next question for you guys is 0:36:06.960 --> 0:36:10.719 in the Washington, Minnesota, and New England games, all three 0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:13.440 of those teams, which only one of them I would 0:36:13.440 --> 0:36:17.800 consider to be among the better offense in the league, 0:36:17.840 --> 0:36:19.839 that being Minnesota. When they've got the quarterback and their 0:36:19.840 --> 0:36:20.560 wide receiver. 0:36:20.480 --> 0:36:22.960 They can be theyn't even try and run the ball, right, Yeah, 0:36:23.000 --> 0:36:26.399 they can. Times I think to stay like, okay, we're 0:36:26.400 --> 0:36:28.600 not going to be able to run it today. 0:36:28.200 --> 0:36:32.440 Those three teams through for over three hundred yards against Philadelphia. 0:36:32.600 --> 0:36:35.239 Did you see anything that was common among those three 0:36:35.239 --> 0:36:39.120 opponents that you're like, they did this to some success. 0:36:39.360 --> 0:36:41.640 Dallas can do this because they have some similar receivers. 0:36:41.680 --> 0:36:44.120 Give these guys problems there we go. I mean, it's 0:36:44.120 --> 0:36:44.480 when you. 0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:46.480 Start to talk about all three of the common things 0:36:46.480 --> 0:36:49.640 you think about Terry McLaren. And I don't think Terry 0:36:49.719 --> 0:36:52.440 McLaren gets enough respect for how well he praised with 0:36:52.520 --> 0:36:56.080 the Commanders. He's a tremendous player. Uh you know, you 0:36:56.120 --> 0:36:59.080 look at uh what's you know with Jefferson and Minnesota 0:36:59.239 --> 0:37:02.560 and all. Yeah it this this team struggles with really 0:37:02.600 --> 0:37:07.000 talented wide receivers, you know, and that's where I the 0:37:07.120 --> 0:37:10.000 you know, the quarterback combination has to be the you know, 0:37:10.239 --> 0:37:13.800 the Commanders. It's not great over there, but man, they 0:37:14.800 --> 0:37:17.359 as well over six hundred yards of passing against them 0:37:17.360 --> 0:37:21.319 at two games, you know. So I my hope is that, 0:37:21.480 --> 0:37:25.440 like listen, now, the Cowboys have a better passing attack 0:37:25.520 --> 0:37:28.560 I think than the teams that you're mentioned. That you're mentioned. 0:37:28.600 --> 0:37:32.080 So this might be this might be very similar. And 0:37:32.160 --> 0:37:34.040 I think people hate me when I say this. This 0:37:34.120 --> 0:37:36.120 might very similar to what the Tampa game was a 0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:37.800 couple of years ago. You realized, I'm not gonna be 0:37:37.800 --> 0:37:39.919 able to run the ball, but I can I could 0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:42.920 take advantage if I could just if I max protect 0:37:42.960 --> 0:37:45.080 a couple of times, if I you know, if I 0:37:45.200 --> 0:37:47.840 just kind of if I focus on throwing the football, 0:37:48.320 --> 0:37:51.439 I can make it very difficult for this Philadelphia team. 0:37:51.480 --> 0:37:54.719 And I think the teams you're talking about have that ability. 0:37:54.719 --> 0:37:57.160 I think Dallas has that ability too, if they just 0:37:57.200 --> 0:37:59.960 wanted to get in. We saw what happened with the Rams. 0:38:00.000 --> 0:38:02.600 They get sacked two three times to start the game. 0:38:02.600 --> 0:38:05.200 To get some hits. What they do They just kept 0:38:05.200 --> 0:38:08.080 throwing the ball. They're like, no, no, no, our best 0:38:08.080 --> 0:38:11.759 path for victory today is throwing the football. And I 0:38:11.760 --> 0:38:14.160 could see I think it's going to take some points 0:38:14.160 --> 0:38:17.520 in this game. I think it's you're going to maybe 0:38:17.560 --> 0:38:20.040 everybody's prediction is going to be, you know, a small, 0:38:20.520 --> 0:38:22.920 you know, twenty seventeen kind of thing. I think it's 0:38:22.920 --> 0:38:25.160 gonna take a lot more points than that. I just 0:38:25.239 --> 0:38:26.759 like I said, I think there's some things on the 0:38:27.000 --> 0:38:30.200 on the defensive side for the Cowboys that the Eagles 0:38:30.239 --> 0:38:32.680 present that could be some problems. This could be this 0:38:32.719 --> 0:38:34.759 could be one of those track meet type games. So 0:38:35.160 --> 0:38:37.800 the best path for me and the teams that you mentioned, 0:38:37.800 --> 0:38:39.920 Derek Beck gover three on ards. It's just they were 0:38:39.960 --> 0:38:42.200 committed to throwing it, yeah, and making sure that they 0:38:42.360 --> 0:38:44.799 got it protected and then got those routes with their 0:38:44.880 --> 0:38:46.200 receivers on up the field. 0:38:46.440 --> 0:38:48.279 If you look at the teams that the Eagles have 0:38:48.320 --> 0:38:52.720 struggled against as far as narrowly getting the victory versus 0:38:52.800 --> 0:38:54.000 it being a loss for them. 0:38:54.400 --> 0:38:55.960 Patriots, for example. 0:38:55.960 --> 0:38:57.520 That was Opening day, Opening Day. 0:38:57.880 --> 0:38:59.640 What they do they took the ball away from Jalen 0:38:59.680 --> 0:39:03.239 Hurts and critical situation exactly. So if you take the 0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:05.719 ball away, if you take advantage of the opportunities he 0:39:05.760 --> 0:39:07.880 will give you because he will give you opportunities. We 0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:11.200 talked about it yesterday. He's on pace for seventeen interceptions 0:39:11.239 --> 0:39:13.799 this season and he'll put the ball on the ground 0:39:13.840 --> 0:39:17.000 if you put your hands on and he yeah, and. 0:39:16.920 --> 0:39:20.560 He's I say, I do him, I do I go 0:39:20.600 --> 0:39:23.480 after him and Josh Allen now quite a bit of buffalo. 0:39:23.680 --> 0:39:25.440 But I will say this as matter of fact, we 0:39:25.520 --> 0:39:27.719 talked about yesterday. I know you weren't here, boss, but 0:39:27.800 --> 0:39:31.560 the knee Jalen hurt saint talking about the knee. He 0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:33.320 was asked the question about it the press converce. 0:39:33.400 --> 0:39:35.879 He got up and left. He's like, I'm not I'm 0:39:35.880 --> 0:39:37.319 not telling you that my knee does hurt. 0:39:37.440 --> 0:39:39.239 But they also last week. If you notice, with that 0:39:39.360 --> 0:39:41.280 knee injury, he did not have a called run. 0:39:41.640 --> 0:39:43.839 They did not have a play called run for last 0:39:43.960 --> 0:39:47.040 seventy six percent drop back pocket passing for this guy. 0:39:46.960 --> 0:39:48.960 And he killed it. And he played a really good 0:39:49.000 --> 0:39:50.760 game standing in the pocket and throwing. 0:39:50.600 --> 0:39:52.520 The ball right, gotta get pressure on him. 0:39:52.600 --> 0:39:54.680 Yeah, but but to that point, you want him to 0:39:54.719 --> 0:39:57.040 play the game in the pocket because for this Cowboys 0:39:57.040 --> 0:39:59.120 defensive line Micah Tank. 0:39:59.280 --> 0:39:59.440 Yeah. 0:39:59.440 --> 0:40:01.759 Oh, so you want them to have the opportunity to 0:40:01.760 --> 0:40:03.520 tee off on him and not to have to play, 0:40:03.960 --> 0:40:04.959 you know, east to west. 0:40:05.000 --> 0:40:06.759 You want to play north to south against him. 0:40:06.800 --> 0:40:11.000 So but to my point, those guys struggled against teams 0:40:11.080 --> 0:40:16.439 that threw a lot and forced turnovers. The Cowboys can 0:40:16.680 --> 0:40:18.680 throw a lot, like they just did against the Rams. 0:40:18.680 --> 0:40:20.480 They have the weapons and the horses to do it, 0:40:20.600 --> 0:40:23.680 and they can force turnovers. So the thing that those 0:40:23.719 --> 0:40:28.799 teams were lacking, Patriots Vikings Commanders was the defense, the 0:40:28.840 --> 0:40:31.440 caliber of defense that the Cowboys are bringing to the table. 0:40:31.560 --> 0:40:33.640 So that's another plus for the Cowboys. 0:40:34.000 --> 0:40:36.120 So allow me to throw a little monkey wrench into 0:40:36.160 --> 0:40:39.800 all of this. The one team that actually beat them, though, 0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:43.600 played a low scoring game twenty to seventeen. Don't have 0:40:43.760 --> 0:40:46.359 but I'm saying don't have a lethal passing game, right, 0:40:47.160 --> 0:40:48.279 why were they able to. 0:40:48.200 --> 0:40:50.120 Be successfully beat them up up front? 0:40:50.360 --> 0:40:53.400 There we go, So there is another These other teams 0:40:53.400 --> 0:40:56.399 that have played them close, somehow Philly has outscored them 0:40:56.400 --> 0:40:59.160 in those situations. Is this a game where Dallas maybe 0:40:59.200 --> 0:41:01.200 has to take the other protests opposed to saying we're 0:41:01.200 --> 0:41:02.719 just gonna go out and just bombs away and we're 0:41:02.760 --> 0:41:04.879 just gonna try to score a lot of points. Should 0:41:04.960 --> 0:41:06.879 this be a game where maybe they try to play 0:41:06.880 --> 0:41:09.240 a little more ball control, play a little more physical 0:41:09.480 --> 0:41:10.520 and try to win it that way. 0:41:10.640 --> 0:41:11.440 I keep pressure. 0:41:11.520 --> 0:41:14.239 I mean, there's nothing wrong with old school football and 0:41:14.360 --> 0:41:16.560 trying to I just don't think they're gonna run. 0:41:16.760 --> 0:41:17.640 That's the problem. 0:41:17.680 --> 0:41:19.520 I don't think that I've done at all season. 0:41:19.640 --> 0:41:20.839 Yeah, Dallas to me. 0:41:20.920 --> 0:41:23.480 Has yet to prove that they can run the football. 0:41:23.600 --> 0:41:25.880 And so to me, I'm like, does it mean you 0:41:25.960 --> 0:41:28.600 just totally abandon it? I don't think so. I think 0:41:28.640 --> 0:41:30.919 you have to try. I think you have to try 0:41:30.960 --> 0:41:31.880 and run the football. 0:41:32.320 --> 0:41:33.120 But I don't know. 0:41:33.840 --> 0:41:36.680 Me personally, I'm putting as much many points on that 0:41:36.719 --> 0:41:39.680 board as I can to put pressure on Philadelphia because 0:41:39.719 --> 0:41:42.200 the one thing I've learned watching Jalen Hurts play. If 0:41:42.239 --> 0:41:46.120 you can make him hold the football, it's problems for him. 0:41:46.280 --> 0:41:48.319 Usually they say, oh, he's got plenty of time to throw. 0:41:48.840 --> 0:41:52.640 With Hurts, it's almost a detriment because the more time 0:41:52.719 --> 0:41:55.680 he has to think about where he's gonna throw, the 0:41:55.680 --> 0:41:58.360 more problems that he's had. His interceptions and stuff have 0:41:58.480 --> 0:42:01.480 been at a high rate, because when you go back 0:42:01.480 --> 0:42:04.000 and watch him, they've all been because teams have made 0:42:04.080 --> 0:42:05.520 him hold the football, you. 0:42:05.480 --> 0:42:06.240 Know, make him play. 0:42:06.360 --> 0:42:09.279 We talk about, you know, guys like Russell Wilson making 0:42:09.360 --> 0:42:12.000 him play backwards. Don't let him play forward. You know, 0:42:12.120 --> 0:42:14.560 Jalen Hurts is the same way. Make him hold the ball, 0:42:14.800 --> 0:42:16.800 make him move around a little bit, but kind of 0:42:16.880 --> 0:42:18.360 keep him in the pocket and make him throw it. 0:42:18.480 --> 0:42:20.520 And also we talked about this yesterday as far as 0:42:20.600 --> 0:42:23.680 keeping him in the pocket. Stat jumped out in the 0:42:23.760 --> 0:42:25.520 film Support. I went back last night and looked at 0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:28.040 the film of his past several games and we talked 0:42:28.040 --> 0:42:30.520 about this. Very weird. It's an oddity, but it's true. 0:42:30.640 --> 0:42:33.680 Six of hurts His eight interceptions have occurred when he's throwing. 0:42:33.480 --> 0:42:34.200 To his right. 0:42:34.360 --> 0:42:37.640 Yeah, this is wild for a right handed quarterback that 0:42:37.719 --> 0:42:39.600 drops back and his chest is open to that side 0:42:39.640 --> 0:42:41.920 of the field. That's his strong side. Six of his 0:42:41.960 --> 0:42:45.200 eight interceptions comes on that side. He doesn't have any 0:42:45.239 --> 0:42:47.960 of those interceptions middle to deep on his left side, 0:42:48.000 --> 0:42:50.040 so that is his strong point of attack. That's something 0:42:50.040 --> 0:42:52.000 that the Cowboys can kind of figure out how to 0:42:52.080 --> 0:42:54.400 use in their favor. Eighty six point seven. Force is 0:42:54.480 --> 0:42:56.080 QB rating when thrown to the right side of the 0:42:56.080 --> 0:42:59.560 field one twelve point forty four. It jumps quite a 0:42:59.560 --> 0:43:01.640 bit when he he's targeting to the left. Keep him 0:43:01.640 --> 0:43:03.719 in the pocket and try to delete as much as 0:43:03.760 --> 0:43:05.520 you can, even if it requires a little bit of 0:43:05.560 --> 0:43:08.360 a shady safety shade to that side of the field. 0:43:08.560 --> 0:43:10.040 Force him to stay right. 0:43:10.719 --> 0:43:13.240 Is that you know? I wonder and hearing those numbers, 0:43:13.280 --> 0:43:16.120 I wonder if that's less about lot right versus left 0:43:16.160 --> 0:43:18.719 and more about where are they using Aj Brown? Yeah, 0:43:18.719 --> 0:43:21.120 if Ajo Brown's on the right a lot, then that 0:43:21.120 --> 0:43:24.319 would make sense why he's having those numbers right, It. 0:43:24.320 --> 0:43:26.919 Would it obviously is going to go where they line 0:43:26.960 --> 0:43:31.920 AJ Brown at point being there's a glaring differential between 0:43:32.400 --> 0:43:36.000 wherever he's throwing left versus right. So if AJ Brown 0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:38.520 is let's say on the right, then that's probably going 0:43:38.560 --> 0:43:40.520 to be a situation where okay, well you know you 0:43:40.600 --> 0:43:42.799 have to line the probably Bland. I would put Bland 0:43:42.800 --> 0:43:45.600 there because of the physicality. So that leaves the other 0:43:45.640 --> 0:43:47.200 half of the field is probably going to be the 0:43:47.200 --> 0:43:49.399 week's high. There's a week half of the field. It's 0:43:49.440 --> 0:43:52.239 the point here, and that should give a lot of 0:43:52.280 --> 0:43:55.680 confidence for this Cowboys secondary because you have gil one. Again, 0:43:55.680 --> 0:43:57.560 my only concern with gilmoy is against a guy like 0:43:57.640 --> 0:44:00.960 Devonte Smith who's quick and can drag him across the field. 0:44:01.239 --> 0:44:04.000 But if it's if you're talking about trying to keep 0:44:04.080 --> 0:44:08.080 Hurts in the pocket, it works in your favor, particularly 0:44:08.120 --> 0:44:09.640 if you can get pressure. But even if you don't 0:44:09.640 --> 0:44:12.440 get pressure, again, half of the field isn't his friend, 0:44:12.560 --> 0:44:14.439 and that half of the field is probably the half 0:44:14.440 --> 0:44:17.120 that Aj Brown is not on. So if you need 0:44:17.160 --> 0:44:19.960 to shade Malik a little bit to Aj to force 0:44:20.040 --> 0:44:22.399 him to go back to the opposite AJ, you're gonna 0:44:22.400 --> 0:44:23.160 have opportunities. 0:44:23.200 --> 0:44:24.640 This is the one thing that worries me about this 0:44:24.880 --> 0:44:27.640 before we end the show, DeVante Smith hasn't really gotten 0:44:27.640 --> 0:44:29.520 off this year. Devontae Smith is a really good water 0:44:30.520 --> 0:44:32.600 and that's the part where it's like if they're doing 0:44:32.640 --> 0:44:34.839 all of this with aj Brown and they haven't really 0:44:34.840 --> 0:44:37.600 had the opportunity yet to get Devonte Smith in a 0:44:37.680 --> 0:44:40.320 situations where he's having those he's having those great games. 0:44:40.840 --> 0:44:42.799 You know that worries me a little bit because he 0:44:42.920 --> 0:44:44.480 is a very very accomplished wide receiver. 0:44:44.560 --> 0:44:46.479 And I don't know how you'd work this out because 0:44:46.520 --> 0:44:49.080 Gilmore is your other boundary, but god, I would love 0:44:49.080 --> 0:44:51.120 to see some Jordan Lewis from Devonte Smith, and you 0:44:51.120 --> 0:44:53.560 probably will when Smith takes some snaps in the slot. 0:44:53.760 --> 0:44:57.200 But that's a matchup that the Cowboys can win. Is 0:44:57.280 --> 0:44:59.960 Jordan Lewis versus Davonte Smith. I have my concerns about 0:45:00.040 --> 0:45:03.000 Gilmore and his current age and trying to stay up 0:45:03.000 --> 0:45:05.560 with that quickness, but not if it's Jordan Lewis versus 0:45:05.560 --> 0:45:06.280 DeVante Smith. 0:45:06.320 --> 0:45:07.239 That's Jordan Lewis for me. 0:45:07.320 --> 0:45:08.520 All Right, that's it, go ahead, Brian. 0:45:08.560 --> 0:45:09.520 I was looking at it real quick. 0:45:09.520 --> 0:45:10.799 I was trying to see if I can find the 0:45:10.840 --> 0:45:14.600 target chart real quick on uh on uh Brown on 0:45:14.760 --> 0:45:17.320 Brown here, And it's my computer's being slow. So in 0:45:17.400 --> 0:45:19.160 this in the show, we'll talk, we'll look that up. 0:45:19.160 --> 0:45:20.040 And we'll have it for you tomorrow. 0:45:20.080 --> 0:45:21.359 Sounds good, all right, that's wrap guys. 0:45:21.400 --> 0:45:22.080 We'll be back tomorrow. 0:45:22.120 --> 0:45:25.560 We'll wrap this thing up. Then he'll call in I will, 0:45:25.600 --> 0:45:27.200 I will, and he'll give us He'll give us a 0:45:27.280 --> 0:45:29.319 drunken up date from the parade and tell us about 0:45:29.320 --> 0:45:30.680 A J. Brown and where they're targeting at. 0:45:30.680 --> 0:45:31.840 If you need, if you need me to come on, 0:45:31.920 --> 0:45:32.520 I'll be happy to. 0:45:33.040 --> 0:45:35.440 If you fireballs into we'll get it time. 0:45:35.640 --> 0:45:36.760 That's I love fireballs. 0:45:36.880 --> 0:45:38.080 Fireball Brian. 0:45:38.160 --> 0:45:40.840 That will be awesome. All right until tomorrow from Patrick Walker. 0:45:40.960 --> 0:45:43.000 Brian brought us Ambergarci. I'm Derek Eagleton.
