Speaker 1: He'll be joining us here in just a moment. He

24
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: had an interview with one oh five point three the

25
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: fan the flagship station down the road. But guys, were

26
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: a couple of days were mooved now from what was

27
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: the thirty seven thirty four win over the Giants, and

28
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: of course Dak Prescott. Now the timeline is out four

29
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: to six months due to the ankle injury, the foot injury,

30
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: and just an unfortunate break for the Cowboys, and really

31
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: something that I know we we're gonna going to address

32
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: at nauseum over the next couple of weeks and really

33
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. But I want to kind

34
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: of address something that was said today on the on

35
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: the Jerry Jones side of the thing. But we're gonna

36
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: wait for Rob on that one. But has your opinion

37
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: of this team changed, really expectation wise, Let's just started

38
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: off with that, Isaiah. Expectations changed without Dak Prescott at

39
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: the helm, absolutely not um Like as I mentioned, yesterday.

40
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: Annie Dalton is a heck of a quarterback. In my opinion,

41
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: he's a top twenty five quarterback in this NFL. And

42
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: so I understand that everybody's you know, still still mourning

43
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: the loss of a starting quarterback on a franchise quarterback

44
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. Obviously, he will be back and he'll be healthy,

45
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: just not this season. But don't don't mistaken it, No, Danny,

46
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: don't disrespect any Dalton. Any Dalton is is a duel man.

47
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: He's a he's a dog. Any Dalton could have went

48
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: to a lot of places this past year and started.

49
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: He chose to come to Dallas and play the role

50
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: of a backup. He is not a backup quarterback. He's

51
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: playing the role of a backup quarterback. And that's what

52
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: everybody needs to understand. So when you guys are when

53
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott goes down, you're not going to just your

54
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: normal number two quarterback that's on most rosters. You're going

55
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: to an all pro quarterback who was trying to take

56
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: a year off in a sense, he kind of let

57
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: his hair down for a minute before he came back

58
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: the next year to go back to taking a round

59
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: of responsibilities. Again, Yeah, Kyle, Yes, sir. I'm more of

60
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: in a whole position on my expectation right now because

61
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: I know that so much is going to have to

62
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: change with the offensive line to facilitate what Andy Dalton's

63
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: strengths are, and so knowing that Dak was that guy

64
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: that could make plays with his legs to get out

65
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: and even go on design runs. You know, that's what

66
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: he was heard on. But that's one of the things

67
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: that he brings to the fold for your offense. And

68
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: so I just feel as though with his experience, it's

69
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: not as though I'm looking at this glass half half empty. Basically,

70
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: I know that there is the potential for him to

71
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: have success in this offense. But look, if he's back

72
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: there running for his life and he can't get comfortable

73
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: in this offense, I don't know what those results will be.

74
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that the game plan for Andy Dalton is

75
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: a heavy dose of zeke and then getting ahead of

76
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: the sticks and having the advantage in second and third

77
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: down to maybe then air it out, but I don't.

78
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: The thing is is that I'm not trying to relegate

79
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton to a bus driver. I just want to

80
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: know how he's going to look in this Dallas Cowboys offense. Yeah,

81
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: it really is something that's come in. Go for it, Isaiah,

82
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: not just I mean, I guess, I know, I know

83
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: you're probably posing the same question, and most people are

84
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: posing heck, but I'm like, in what regard is any

85
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: Dalton that much different than dak I mean, and I'm

86
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: not saying that in a disrespectful way. Andy Dalton. Any

87
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: Dalton again, he might be one step Slordan. Dak Da

88
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: probably runs a six. Andy Dalton probably runs a four seven,

89
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: So I mean, like the ability to run, it doesn't

90
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: really change. In terms of the terms of the passing game.

91
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton's, in my opinion, is a better passer than

92
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: than Dak And I said that before the season even started,

93
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: and I think Dak is coming along. He's becoming a

94
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: better passer and he's doing the heck of a job. Obviously,

95
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: up to the date he got hurt, he was doing

96
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: a hell of a job passing a ball. But historically

97
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton to me, is a better passer. We know

98
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: that he's been able to manage a team that hasn't

99
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: been very good for a number of years, and he

100
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: got them to the Playoff a number of times. He

101
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: also managed to make three Pro Bowls with those terrible teams.

102
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: So when we're talking about Andy Dalton, Andy Dalton is

103
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: somebody who is proven in this league. He has experience,

104
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: he seemed more than Dak has seen. He's experienced more

105
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: than Dak has experience. And again that's no shade, but

106
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: where he is just the facts, and he is more

107
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: primed to handle this situation than anybody. So for anybody

108
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: to look down and start luring their expectations, I don't

109
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: care if you're the owner. I don't care if you're

110
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: a coach, I don't care if you're a fan. I mean,

111
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: I think it's almost disrespectful to Andy Dalton and what

112
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: he's done in this league now. And I don't think

113
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: that what I'm the perspective that I'm coming from is

114
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: at all a disrespect to Andy Dalton. I understand what

115
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,239
Speaker 1: the skill set is. What I'm saying is we already

116
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: had an offensive line that was struggling. Let's just talk

117
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: about the facts of it in the in the running game.

118
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: In the running game, we've been struggling, right, and a

119
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: lot of the struggle also in the passing game is

120
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: giving Dak the time to see those open throws, the

121
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: strip sack fumbles, uh, the just the lack of being

122
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: able to see the field because guys are in your face.

123
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: How does that change with Andy Dalton. I'm not saying

124
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: that Andy Dalton doesn't have an arm. He does. I'm

125
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: not saying that Andy Dalton is that much is a

126
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: statue in the in the pocket, because I think he's

127
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: a lot more mobile than people believe that. It be right,

128
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: I just but but what I'm saying is our offensive

129
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: line we've had woes there. We just I personally just

130
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: want to see how he operates. This is his team

131
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: for eleven games. That's understands it. But but can we

132
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: all be an agreeance that Andie Dalton coming in at

133
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: quarterback this officsive line is better than any line he's

134
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: probably had a Cincinnati Oh hey, okay, So I'm saying

135
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So that's why I'm asking, like, where

136
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: did the question marks come in with somebody who has

137
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: gotten a terrible team to the playoffs. He's gotten himself

138
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: to the Pro Bowl right with less than what he

139
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: has now, So for us to have, for us to

140
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: have Laura expectations for it. If to me, it doesn't

141
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: make sense because he's walking into the situation where in

142
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: his history this is better than all of his history.

143
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: Better receivers collectively, better officsive line, better team talent wise,

144
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: better organization, like, everything's better. So for him, he's like, man,

145
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: this is freaking Christmas. Let's go. I completely agree with

146
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: what Isaiah saying here, specifically based on the comparison between

147
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: Dallas and Cincinnati and the teams that Andy Dalton has

148
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: had to work with. He's had playoff pushes with lesser

149
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: rosters than what he has to do with now. And

150
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: some would say that he hasn't won a playoff game.

151
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: I agree, but he's made a push to the playoff.

152
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: He's made a push to push off to playoff in

153
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: the AFC with a lesser roster. That's my point here.

154
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: Some would also say that he's one of the more

155
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: accomplished quarterbacks in the NFC East, or the most accomplished

156
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFC East. And then one man that

157
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: has said that is Rob Phillips, and he is now

158
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: with us here on talking Cowboys and Rob. I was

159
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: listening to your interview on Shawn and RJ, and they

160
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: kind of gave you some flat for saying that Andy

161
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: Dalton was the most accomplished quarterback in the NFC East

162
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 1: over Carson Wentz, over of course, Dwayne Haskins, Daniel Jones.

163
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: That's a no brainer. But really the big question mark

164
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: was Carson Wentz. I want to give you a chance

165
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: to defend yourself, because I don't think you got a

166
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: chance in that interview to defend yourself. I want you

167
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: to be able to kind of got your back table.

168
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: I kind of agree with you, and I want to

169
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: hear your reason now. Yeah, I started a poll on

170
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: Shawn and RJ on Twitter from that discussion, and I

171
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: you know what, I didn't. I don't even know if

172
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: I took a real stance. I just threw it out there,

173
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: and I think Kyle you might have thrown it out there.

174
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: You can argue that Andy Dalton is still the best

175
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFC East. And that's not a knock

176
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: on Carson Wentz. That's just the fact that this guy

177
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: has played in the league for ten years. You guys mentioned,

178
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: he's been to three Pro Bowls. He played with some

179
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: teams that probably weren't They weren't necessarily contenders in the AFC,

180
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: just solid Bengals teams, well coached by Marvin Lewis, and no,

181
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: they didn't win playoff games. Carson Wentz does have a

182
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: super Bowl ring. And if I'm starting a team, if

183
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,239
Speaker 1: I'm starting a team right now, between those two quarterbacks,

184
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: You're probably going with Wentz because of his age and

185
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: his talent level. But Nick Foles was the quarterback when

186
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: they won that Super Bowl. And so when you when

187
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: I look at what's been accomplished over the last ten years,

188
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: I think you can argue that it's that it's it's

189
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton and so, I, you know, expectations maybe they

190
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: drop in terms of the Super Bowl for the Cowboys

191
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: given all the injuries, But I don't know if you

192
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: you can say, oh, they can't win the division in

193
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: this in this terrible start to the division right now,

194
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: and maybe they talk me into it yesterday, Isaiah, you know,

195
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: listening to Mike McCarthy and and and Kellen Moore. Not

196
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: a knock on Dak because I think there is a drop.

197
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: I think Dak has established himself as a top ten quarterback,

198
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: but they really feel like they can run their offense

199
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: still with Andy Dalton, and I'm really I'm anxious to

200
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: see it, to see how they fare. Isaiah, I know

201
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: you're you're probably in the same kind of boat there.

202
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I was with Rob for about eighty percent

203
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: of it, and I was. I was with him up

204
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: until he said, you know, the whole Super Bowl, You're

205
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: you're the Cowboys. Losing Dak Prescott and replacing him with

206
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton is not the reason why this team would

207
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: that won't make the super Bowl. If it's this team

208
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: won't make the super Bowl, it's not because of that. No,

209
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 1: you're right, you're right, Okay, So yeah, so it's it's

210
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: let's let's be sure of that. I don't. I don't.

211
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a huge drop off in production

212
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: between Dak Prescott, Andy Andy Andy Dalton. I just don't.

213
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: And again, that's no shade on Dack. He's a dude,

214
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: so is Andy Dalton. Right, you know, he's just he's

215
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: a lot younger than him, and he's ran, he's moved around,

216
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: he has the ability to move around a little bit more.

217
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: He chooses to run the ball a little bit more.

218
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: But aside from that, I don't see it. I don't

219
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: see it. Das had more than than than Andy Dalton's

220
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: had his own career. Andy Dalton's had two dudes. He's

221
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: had he is that He's had effort, and he had

222
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: a J. Green. AJ Green was hurt half the time.

223
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: So somehow, some way to Dunway and Mohammad Sanou, those

224
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 1: guys aren't necessarily the you're right, you're right there. I

225
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: may know they're not the same. They're not, no, not

226
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: the same, but I mean, I mean, but I just

227
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: see a lot of people kind of getting down and

228
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 1: trying to use this as an opportunity to lower their

229
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: standards for this team. The standards were lord by from

230
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: this by this team, from their play these first four

231
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: to five games. That's where the standards were lord It's

232
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: not because Dack's out. They got to figure this thing

233
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: out on defense. If this team decides to play ball

234
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: on defense, this team will be perfectly fine. If they

235
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: decide not to, this team will could see you to struggle,

236
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: but offensive production wise, it won't change. The only thing

237
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: that you'll see change is that obviously now the running

238
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: game goes through Zeke, which should have been doing anyways. Right,

239
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: we shouldn't be throwing the ball at sixty times a game.

240
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: We should be running throwing the ball at thirty five

241
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: times a game and giving it to seek for another

242
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: twenty five or thirty. So that's exactly what I'm What

243
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Isaiah, is that that changes by those just

244
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: nuance changes to our approach on offense. By feeding Zeke,

245
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: that changes the output for Andy Dalton, because again, I

246
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: don't think you will see any success if Andy Dalton

247
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: is throwing the ball fifty seven times a game. But

248
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: but you but you weren't seeing that success with Dac either.

249
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: I was gonna say so, so yeah, but we're saying

250
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: the same thing. But the approach had nothing to do

251
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: with who was at quarterback. It was the offensive coordinator

252
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: and how he was calling the game. It was your

253
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: lack of production on defense, it was your inefficiency on

254
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: special teams. Those were the issues that were hanging over

255
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: this team. It had nothing to do with the quarterback play.

256
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: And just because you go down to your second string

257
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: who chose to be a second string, does not change

258
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: anything with this team. On the offensive side of the ball,

259
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: they should have been running the ball with Zeke a

260
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: lot more and they were going to have to make

261
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: that change anyway if they wanted to start winning games.

262
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: We're honestly, I think Isaiah, we're in agreement because I'm

263
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: with you like I think if we're gonna get we're

264
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: gonna get to our number one concern on the team

265
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: right now. And You're right, it's not the quarterback position

266
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: for me. Even now, it's not. That being said, despite

267
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: the fact they've been turning over the ball too much,

268
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: I still think Dak the numbers, the yards and in

269
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: position to score points. Man Like I still have to

270
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: see Andy Dalton run the offense and move the ball

271
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: down the field consistently the way Dak did. He may

272
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: very well be able to do it, but I think

273
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: Da Dak's ability to at least put keep them in

274
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: games despite well as some of his own turnovers. But

275
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: the defensive struggles, the special team struggles as well, that's

276
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: where I still got to see it on a consistent basis.

277
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: But I think you're right in terms of I think

278
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: we can still see really high production because we watched

279
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton in training camp have a really good solid

280
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: performances with this offense, and I think it has a

281
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: chance to continue, especially in a weird season. I said

282
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: this on a fan a minute ago. A weird season

283
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: where all these road games coming up, there's not a

284
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: crowd to affect this young offensive line or Andy Dalton.

285
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: They can still they can operate. Mike McCarthy has said this.

286
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: It's a disadvantage for the Cowboys to some degree when

287
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: they come home, even though the crowd was good on Sunday.

288
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: But they can go any game the rest of the

289
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: season and still execute as far as communication and stuff.

290
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: So I'm with you there, But I do think Dak

291
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: can mask some of the problems they have on defense.

292
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: They gotta get balanced. They absolutely have to get more

293
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: balanced with Zeke. He's gonna hold the key. I think

294
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: he absolutely does. And if you have success with Zeke,

295
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: they showed it against the Giants. I mean they had

296
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: two really key cornerstone drives in that wind that allowed

297
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: them to where they were allowed to run the ball

298
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: and then continue to punch it up the middle with Zeke.

299
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: And one was in the first or the second quarter

300
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: following the seventeen the three deficit. The other one was

301
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: right after Andy Dalton replaced Dak Prescott. Both of those

302
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: drives changed the game and allowed the Cowboys to come

303
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: out on top in that thirty seven thirty four win.

304
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: We are going to get to our biggest concern on

305
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: this Cowboys team. We're gonna have to do it a

306
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,160

Speaker 1: the fifty of course, great work in the back from

350
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: Chris Beam. And we're gonna start things off from hair

351
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: Old Carter and mister Harold has uh. He has bullet

352
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: points of questions. I'm gonna take two of them because

353
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: I think we need to address one of them and

354
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: then I like the other question a lot. And the

355
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: one of them is directed toward mister Uh, the biggest

356
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: Texas A and m fan in the in the room,

357
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: mister I hate saw him off. We added a quarterback yesterday.

358
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: Who is this new quarterback? Mister Garrett Gilbert, And I'm

359
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: gonna ask Rob Phillips, well, he's not an aggy, He's

360
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: a longhorn. And as I wanted to pitch it to you. Yeah, Yeah,

361
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: he's from that town in Austin, keep Austin weird, and um,

362
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: he's he's a he's a solid quarterback. He's uh, I

363
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: think as far as number three options go, and that's

364
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: probably what he's gonna be. Uh. I think it makes

365
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: sense to bring him in given you know, he's been

366
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: around the league for about six years, I think, and

367
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: he's kind of bounced around practice squads. I think he's

368
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: only thrown six passes in his NFL regular season career.

369
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: But if you're just looking for a guy with some

370
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: experience that if you had to you know, if it's

371
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 1: a break glass emergency situation with you know, if you

372
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: get all the way down the depth chart to Benda Nucci,

373
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: then it makes sense. But that's the expectation that he's

374
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: coming in. And it's weird though with the COVID protocols,

375
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: Like I think it's six days of testing now to

376
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: even get him in the building, and I don't think

377
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: it even changes for a guy that's coming from another team.

378
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,239
Speaker 1: I think it's I have to double check that, but

379
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: in either way, Ben da Nucci is going to be

380
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: your backup quarterback this week and maybe just continuing down

381
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: the road here behind Dalton, do you think so you

382
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: you mentioned that he might be the second string quarterback,

383
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: do you think it's more likely that he comes in

384
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: and he's on the active roster as the backup to

385
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton and they continue to develop a benda Nucci

386
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. I don't know. I mean, I

387
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: think maybe at some point, depending on, you know, if

388
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: there's some competition there with reps, I think, but I

389
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: think Dalton needs as many. Asaiah can speak to this.

390
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Dalton's gonna need as many reps in practice

391
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: as he can possibly get because Dak's taken most of

392
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: those up to this point. I just think the way

393
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: this whole season has gone about, and at least the

394
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: Nucci has been in the system, you know, for six

395
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 1: weeks on the longer than six weeks since training camp

396
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: started in mid August, I think that just gives him

397
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: a jump in terms of being ready, but in terms

398
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: of experience that Gilbert's been around longer obviously, So we'll

399
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: just see how that develops. And I did just get

400
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: another fan on the fifty question in our periscope and

401
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: it said, is Colt McCoy available? No, he was on

402
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: the other sideline on Sunday. He's the backup quarterback to

403
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. So no, not another Texas quarterback. We got

404
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: Garrett Gilbert, the other Texas quarterback that is in here. Second. Yeah,

405
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: there you go. Second question from Harold, and this one's

406
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: a little bit more intriguing to me, And I think

407
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: this is a question a lot of Cowboys fans had.

408
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: But the defense seemed to find themselves a little bit

409
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: in the second half of Sunday's victory against the Giants,

410
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: and I know that's still a question mark as a whole,

411
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: and this is a defense that's underperformed already through the

412
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: first four weeks of the season, and they definitely did

413
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: so in the first half of Sunday's game. However, is

414
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: this something we can see continuing that second half where

415
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: you saw some pass rush, you saw the winebackers able

416
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,479
Speaker 1: to fly around heckma, do you think this defense can

417
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: continue some of that success then? I'm hoping so. Obviously

418
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: with the strip sack turnover for a touchdown, those are

419
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: little things that probably is given this group a bit

420
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: of confidence. And everybody knows that they have been getting

421
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: the brunt of all the criticism for the losses, and

422
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: rightfully so, but at the same time, they have a

423
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 1: win and something to build off of if you just

424
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: go with the edge rushers. I think Tank looked a

425
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: little bit better than previous weeks. Hopefully that knee is

426
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: getting healthier. Interior line wise, guys, we just have questions. Then.

427
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: We talked about that at length yesterday. But linebacker wise,

428
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: I think Rob you said it, you felt as though

429
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith had his best game as a Dallas Cowboys,

430
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: So building on that momentum, you know this, these guys

431
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: have nothing but up to go from where they are

432
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: right now. Definitely this season. Definitely his best game this season,

433
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: no doubt. Yeah. Isay you agree? Um? Yeah? And in

434
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: the sorts, Um, I feel like I can't. I can't

435
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: put too much weight on this previous game. I mean,

436
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to take anything away from those guys

437
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: production in the plays that they made. They made those

438
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: plays against other professional athletes, but it wasn't against a

439
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: very good team. So I'm looking forward to seeing that.

440
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: I hope that that builds their confidence though, and I

441
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: think we talked about that all last week, that there's

442
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: an opportunity for them to get their confidence up and

443
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: and and kind of rekindle that flame that's and that's

444
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: inside you to say, hey, I'm a dog, you know,

445
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: and I could play some ball around here. Um, why

446
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: can't I do this every week? Okay? I will? And

447
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of almost a decision. Sometimes you just kind

448
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: of need that little flame and turn inside you to

449
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: to light you up. But you know, going against the

450
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: Cardinals this week, that's gonna be a test, you know.

451
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: I mean, those guys were able to get pressure this pass.

452
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: We could gets a sitting duck. This dude is not

453
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: a sitting duck that they're gonna be facing this week.

454
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: So I'll have a better opinion after this week. I

455
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: feel like this week is probably agree. I agree, going

456
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: to answer a lot of those questions, Rob, Yeah, yeah,

457
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Daniel Jones has talent, but he consistently turns

458
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: the ball over or puts the ball on the ground.

459
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: I just felt like the Cowboys were gonna have opportunities

460
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: to get the ball back for their defense, which hasn't

461
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: for their offense, which hasn't happened this year. I thought

462
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: just the fact that they were able to play with

463
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: a lead or close to it in the second half

464
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: did so much for the pass rush to at least

465
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: just get in a position to try to tee off.

466
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: They haven't had that that that ability. Some of it's

467
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: on them because they get up too many plays early

468
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: in games and points early in games. But if they

469
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: can continue to do that, you know, we're there in

470
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: situations where they're not playing from behind and you kind

471
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: of know what the opposing offense needs to do, then

472
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: I think that's going to help him going forward. And yeah,

473
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: like like heck mentioned, Jalen really stepped up, you know,

474
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: in terms of being on the screws and helping against screens,

475
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: against the run game, and that's really encouraging going forward. Now,

476
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 1: if you get vander eschback fairly soon, I don't know

477
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: if it's this week, that will be another step forward defensively.

478
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: But there are still concerns and you know, I think

479
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: Mike Nolan was asked yesterday, is this the toughest receiving

480
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: corps you're gonna face this year to this point? And

481
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: I don't think he didn't say no. I mean, obviously,

482
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: just Hopkins alone with Kyler Murray's mobility, like that's a

483
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: different ball game than we saw this past week. Yeah,

484
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: it's a containment nightmare. And you've also got Kenyan Drake

485
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: in the backfield who's able to make an impact in

486
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: the passing game. You've got Kyler Murray, who, like I said,

487
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: as a containment nightmare himself. And then of course the

488
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: receiving corps. This is gonna be a challenge. I mean,

489
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of points put up in

490
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,959
Speaker 1: this game because I think I think you're gonna have

491
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: to in order to get in a shootout in to

492
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: beat a Cliff Kingsbury led team. Now you mentioned some

493
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: of the questions in the concerns of this defensive line.

494
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: I think one of the biggest concerns on this entire roster,

495
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: if not the biggest, is the interior presence of that

496
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: defensive line. And our guy Will says, because of Dontari

497
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: Poe's injury from last year and starting this year on

498
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: the pup list, how hard is or how is that

499
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: affecting his play this year moving into what has been

500
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: really a disappointing starting week or five weeks to the season. Isaiah,

501
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what he's what he's

502
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: dealing with physically. I can't speak to his physical well

503
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: being right now. I don't have eyes on all in

504
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: a training room, so I can't judge as Payne Tylers

505
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: what he's dealing with. I don't know, but I don't

506
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: want to make any excuses for him though now I

507
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: do know. If you're out there, then you decide to

508
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: suit up regardless of what paying your experience, and you

509
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: still have to produce. You know, when my time's in Dallas,

510
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: I sublect my shoulder two years in a row, and

511
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: I played with my shoulder popping in and out almost

512
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: every other day. You know, I would my shoulder will

513
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: pop out in practice and I'll be out of practice

514
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: for a day or a half of practice and you know,

515
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: get to the game and they would have to strap

516
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: my shoulder down and I was not one hundred percent.

517
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: But guess what, I recognize that if I'm going to

518
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: be out there, there's something that I can do that

519
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: somebody else can't do on this team that they need

520
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: me for. So if he knows that going into it,

521
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: then he needs to be able to provide that. And

522
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: if he has any kind of ailment that's preventing him

523
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 1: from being as productive as they need him, to be

524
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: in his roles that they're asking him to play, then

525
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: he needs to step off the field. Yeah. Well, we

526
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: hadn't seen Dune Terry Pole show up on any injury report,

527
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: so it sounds like to me that he's ready to go.

528
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: He's just putting out bad, bad film. It's he's not

529
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: winning his won on one battles, and I mean a

530
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: man his size getting, you know, dug up out the middle,

531
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna show up. And I think that's the thing

532
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: that Cowboy fans are most frustrated with with Done Terry Pope,

533
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: because we were sold on the fact that this guy

534
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: is gonna be a run stuffer that's going to anchor

535
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: himself in the middle, and all the great things that

536
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: he has done in his career. Coming into this season,

537
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: we just hadn't seen any of it, not even a

538
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: flash of what you've seen him do with other ball club.

539
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I don't think it's because of

540
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: the element. Maybe so, And like Isaiah says, man, we

541
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: don't we don't have the inside track on that to

542
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: be able to say, all right, how are you feeling

543
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: the day, Done Terry, But he's not showing up on

544
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: any injury reports, So we just got to assume that

545
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: he's healthy. I don't want to give away my number

546
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: one concern on defense, so I'll just pass. Okay, well,

547
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: I'll save that for a little bit later now whenever

548
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: he comes to getting some interior pass rush. We saw

549
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: on Sunday that they actually slide in an Alden Smith

550
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: and an Everson Griffin to that three technique spot. Do

551
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: you think that's something we're gonna see more of moving

552
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: into the later parts of the season, Rob seeing a

553
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: Griffin moved to nose tackle, and not nose tackle, but

554
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: to the three technique and defensive tackle, or allowing maybe

555
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: an Alden Smith or an Everson Griffin whoever is still

556
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: in that right defensive in spot, or a Randy Gregory

557
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: when he comes back to have more snaps. Yeah, and

558
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: we saw it a little bit early in the season.

559
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: It look it's something he did in Minnesota too. So yeah,

560
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: if it's a situation where you can move him around

561
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: and again, like you said, maybe create some matchups for

562
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: some of your edge rushers, then yeah, they've got to

563
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: find solutions in the middle. Right now. This is this

564
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: is a big, big problem in terms of you already

565
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: lost Gerald McCoy. That was a big loss. Tristan Hill

566
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: stepped up and really surprised everybody, maybe even the coaching

567
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: staff in terms of you know, they said yesterday and

568
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: Mike Nolan said, he's probably the most improved defensive player

569
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: we had this year. Definitely the most improved defensive lineman.

570
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: They loved his effort. They really thought he was growing

571
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: as a player. Now you're trying to mix in Neville Gallimore,

572
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: who you know. I think he had some struggles in

573
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: the game, but I think you have to remember, not

574
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: only is he a rookie, he's he's really young in

575
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: his football career coming from Canada. I think he just

576
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: probably needs some more time. But that's where they are

577
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: right now. They've got to find guys who can step

578
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: into that position. You guys mentioned Poe. You watch the

579
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,479
Speaker 1: game back and the Giants had the same success as

580
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: the Browns in terms of sealing things off in the middle,

581
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: and with one or two linemen seal that off and

582
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: find increases. And that's that's going to continue. I mean,

583
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: that's that's gonna that shows up on tape, and that's

584
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: gonna be something that other teams are gonna try to exploit.

585
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: They've got to find a way to shore that up

586
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: inside because you're getting you know, you're getting late Vanderesh back,

587
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: but you don't have anybody coming back in the middle

588
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: of that defensive line that you can count on right now.

589
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: You've it's got to find some kind of patchwork solutions. Yeah.

590
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: If you if you have a position that you play right, um,

591
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: and you're a vet in this league. Unless you perform

592
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: at that particular position, your position is null and void.

593
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: I now could push you wherever I need you and

594
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: had to have the most effect, right, So I don't

595
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: care if you play d N. Guess what. You haven't

596
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: been productive at d N the way in which we

597
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: want you to in this scheme. So now guess what

598
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: you're playing at three technique because we feel like you're

599
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: more experienced in there. If you're if you're a dog

600
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: and they and they hide their weak spots in their

601
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: interior officive line that we're gonna put you there to happen.

602
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: Maybe we have an advantage because we have a Bradley

603
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: and Night, we have a we have all these guys

604
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: that are Gregreat that's gonna be coming an office suspension.

605
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: You have all these guys that are gonna be coming

606
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: into with that juice, and guess what, we need some juice.

607
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: So as you get older, you lose a little bit

608
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: of juice, right, so let's go ahead and squeeze that

609
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: juice on the inside and put some of that fresh

610
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: blood on the outside. Like that. Ye I like that.

611
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: I think that Everson Griffin moving inside. That's in his wheelhouse,

612
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: like you said, Robbie, he did that in Minnesota, so

613
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: great to take advantage of it, especially with you know,

614
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: being shorthanded after hell his incident, but also Alvin Smith

615
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: had a ton of success playing inside as well. So

616
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: I hope that that's something that they come back to

617
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: and you know, obviously get these guys and get some

618
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: type of continuity on that defensive line with the group,

619
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: because now you leave, you lose. He'll never Gallimore comes

620
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: in and you know, look, it wasn't that he looked

621
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: that great. But if he can, you know, continue to

622
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: improve week after weekend at least supplement the energy that

623
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: he'll was giving you on the defensive line, will be fine.

624
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: Rob Have you heard anything and this is another fan

625
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: on the fifty question, but have you heard of anything

626
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: specifically about looking to outside help and bringing in some

627
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: guys for workouts in terms of that d tackle spot,

628
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: especially with Tristan Hill out. I haven't heard anything in

629
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: terms of workouts. Mike Nolan referenced yesterday that they might

630
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: be looking for some help on the practice squad. Is

631
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,959
Speaker 1: just justin Hamilton's still on the practice squad. I think

632
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: that that might be an option. Um, so yeah, maybe

633
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: they're that's what they've been doing on defense, They've been

634
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: looking in house, and so uh, that might be the

635
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: direction they go. But no, I haven't. I haven't heard

636
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: anything of anything of the snacks variety, if that's what

637
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: he's asking. Have you guys noticed that this year, out

638
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: of all years, like up to this year, practice squad

639
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: is going to kind of looked down upon, right, and

640
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, practice squad is like the

641
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: most valuable asset on your dog on team. It's kind

642
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of an interesting team because you get a

643
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: table or you are going to be utilized. Heckman, No, absolutely,

644
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: and I think Isaiah that's because of you know, the

645
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: the pandemic and just the ability to extend players on

646
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: your practice squad. There are a lot of teams that

647
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: are hoarding some bad players just because they don't know

648
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: what's going to happen with the injuries on the team.

649
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: So I think that's a by product of just not

650
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: being able to evaluate guys. Yeah, I think it's sad. Yeah,

651
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: it's wild. They I mean, I think they had fifty

652
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: one guys on the on the they kept fifty one

653
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: on the active roster. But really it's it's more than

654
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: that because you have the ability to elevate two guys

655
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: every week. So uh, yeah, you're right, it's more of

656
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: a it's more of a benefit and something you lean

657
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: on definitely than past years. And while we're on the

658
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: topic of young players here, Chris being if I could

659
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: get a one shot here, I just want to make

660
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: my weekly pitch to give Bradley a NYE more playing time, please,

661
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: because he's seen six snaps throughout his rookie season. He's

662
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: had six snaps. He's had two pressures and a quarterback

663
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: hit in those six naps. So please, for love of

664
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: any good Friday by Friday, more playing time. I just

665
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: wanted to. I just wanted to get out there. I

666
00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: like the kid, Kyle, I do too. No, I like

667
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: that man. When you said bring in the pitchs a

668
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: steel shot of me. I thought you were gonna say,

721
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: fun over the last couple of weeks having back to

722
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: back home games. We've got another home game coming up

723
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football as the Arizona Cardinals come to town.

724
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: By the way, just a quick little fun fact before

725
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 1: we get in the couple more fans on the fifty

726
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: questions here, But we've had three straight home games. By

727
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: the time. This Monday night football game will conclude on Monday.

728
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,919
Speaker 1: It's also the third straight road game for Arizona. They've

729
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: played three straight on the road before they'll return home

730
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: for two. So you've got the benefit of a homestand

731
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: and they've got the road trip working coming from Phoenix,

732
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: so overall you've got another advantage there. But as we

733
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: go into the final segment, Heck Harrison, Isaiah stand back,

734
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, I'm Kyle Yeoman's and a couple more fans

735
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 1: on the fifty questions. And this one came actually yesterday

736
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: and it maybe wasn't tabbed as a fans on the

737
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 1: fifty question specifically, but it was one that I want

738
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: to I want to throw into this mix, and it

739
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 1: was a fantastic question, but it was what is your

740
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 1: biggest concern on this Cowboys team right now following the

741
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: injury to Dak Prescott. I'm gonna allow Rob to start

742
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: this one off because he kind of alluded to it earlier,

743
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,720
Speaker 1: but whenever he comes to every unit, whether it's special teams, defense, offense,

744
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. What is your biggest concern right now? Well,

745
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: Isaiah and I agree, I don't know if Heck agrees totally.

746
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: It's not the quarterback for me. I think Andy Dalton

747
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: can come in and have success. I mentioned earlier I

748
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: talked about the defensive interior line, and that for me,

749
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: with losing Gerald McCoy and Triston Hill now for the season,

750
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: they've got to get that short up because teams are

751
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: going to continue to try to run the ball against them,

752
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,439
Speaker 1: and when they do that, the play action comes into play.

753
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: And they have struggled against play action pretty much everywhere

754
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 1: on the field, especially around the goal line, and that

755
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: can lead to big plays down the field. So to me,

756
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: it's you still. Isaiah was rattling off statistics about numbers

757
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: of points allowed already the season defensively, and it's not

758
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: all defense on it's off turnovers. And that's a big

759
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: one too, by the way. But they've got to get

760
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: things short up defensively, and it starts in the middle. Manaiah, No,

761
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: I cannot. I want to just tell you. I just

762
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: want to say, Rob, I agree, and I think that

763
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: first of all, when you look at all the things

764
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: that are showing up on tape and you're seeing teams

765
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: repeat plays like the reverse, the reverses that they're running

766
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: on this side. I mean the Giants ran a reverse

767
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: on the goal line versus I mean, let that that's

768
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: so disrespectful to give up a touchdo on the reverse

769
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: on the goal line, and we've did. That's the second

770
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: week in a row that we've given up points on

771
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: the reverse and we gotta get that fixed. And it

772
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 1: starts inside. Yeah, and that was to a tight end.

773
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: Or Evan Ingram comes running around the outside edge of

774
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: Everson Griffin and Isaiah knows just how upset I was

775
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: about that fact. But that's that's another story. Isaiah. Oh,

776
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: I guess Isaiah's out on us. We're having some technical issues. Man,

777
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: he's frozen right now. Okay, I want to pause for

778
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: I apologize for everybody who's listening at the moment. But

779
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,720
Speaker 1: he's frozen in this spot right now, and he's got

780
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: his little smirk where he's kind of looking with just

781
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: like that one eye. He's leaning in very like very

782
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: Oh man, it's the Bafficks pause of a show. I

783
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: think I've right, it's that. That's him. This is Kyle

784
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: just said something stupid. Kyle said what Yeah, he says

785
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 1: something dumb, and he's paused in it right now. It

786
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: is hilarious. I highly encourage you to come and look

787
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: at look at it. We're sure that full straight all

788
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: Now it went away. That's okay, that's okay. That was

789
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: the best technical place we've ever had on this show.

790
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: But but Rob, I mean, whenever he comes up to

791
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: giving up plays like that, you talk about the reverse

792
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: and we can talk about really the weird and plays

793
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys have given up to the defense over

794
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: or to opposing offenses overall. How do you share that up?

795
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 1: What is this the beginning steps to kind of rain

796
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,919
Speaker 1: that in and go up against what is unconventional play

797
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: calling being assignment sound, your preparation during the week and

798
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: and not overrunning plays and trusting each other to make

799
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: your own plays. I think that's something they talked about

800
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: early in the season, uh, not trying to get outside

801
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: your zone. And I thought they did a better job

802
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: of that. You know, I thought Jalen Smith, I keep

803
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: talking about Jalen Smith, he really helped shore that up,

804
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: especially those problems they had in the screen game early

805
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: in the scene in much better. So that's encouraging. But

806
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: I agree with you guys though, you got to see

807
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: it week to week and Kyler Murray. I watched him.

808
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: I watched him since high school, and he just keeps

809
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: getting better and better. And it's the same threat that

810
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: he had when he was at Allen just down the

811
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: road from here. He's gonna take off and run. He's

812
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: gonna challenge you latterly and vertically. So can they shore

813
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: that up? We'll see. Well, I'm back and I don't

814
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: have a smirk on my face this time. I'm going,

815
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: y'all see that kyllege trying to pause me. He put

816
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: me up positive quick, but no, I'm I'm gonna go

817
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: with time of possession, and time of possession has a

818
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: lot to do with really everybody. Um, So we talk

819
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: about time of possession, you talk about our office's ability

820
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: to actually be balanced in some form of fashion and

821
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: balances that means fifty fifty. Balance just means to have

822
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: a respectable m efficiency in both the running and the

823
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: passing game. And then you look at the defense. You

824
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: guys already touched on an interior defensive alignment. It's not

825
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: just them, but they need to be able to get

826
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: some kind of a push. Um. If you don't have

827
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: an interior defensive line presence, um, you can survive with

828
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: it without without a defensive end presence, you can't survive

829
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 1: without an interior defensive line presence um, and that's gonna

830
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: If you don't have that, then then your linebackers are

831
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: affected um and then and then it turn your secondary

832
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: is affected because they're not being there. They're having to

833
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: cover for longer durations of time. So it's kind of

834
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: a trigger down effect. Right. So the ability for other

835
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 1: teams to be able to strike when they want to

836
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 1: in any form or fashion, especially running the ball, is

837
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: not good for you because if you're as an offense,

838
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: if you're striking fast, and then on the other side

839
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: of the ball, they're able to run the ball and strike.

840
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: You know, at some point in time with four and

841
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 1: a half minute, five minutes, six minute drives right and

842
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: then for whatever reason you either turn the ball over

843
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: or you go three and out. Guess what advantage goes

844
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,919
Speaker 1: to them. It doesn't matter how fast you strike right

845
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: at some point in time once they're as long as

846
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: you're continue to move the ball and like they're like

847
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: our schedule shows if you take away the first game,

848
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: if you take away the Los Angeles Rams game, we

849
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: have given up at least thirty four points per game,

850
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: ye at least including and thirty thirty four points came

851
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: by let me see, the worst offense in the league

852
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: last week. So you can't continue to do that. And

853
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: time possession is huge and we have to be able

854
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: to control that if we think we want to go

855
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: far in the playoffs. That's that's that, Isaiah, that's that

856
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: high football IQ of yours working right there when you

857
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 1: call a lot of time of possession, because it's true.

858
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: I mean, so many people that deal with analytics and

859
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: they see the you know, throwing the ball all over

860
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 1: the place and getting yards is like that. Uh, they

861
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 1: discount time of possession and you saw it. And Robert

862
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: talked about that that drive for the Dallas Cowboys in

863
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 1: the third quarter where they had eleven runs and what

864
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,879
Speaker 1: it did for our defense and galvanising them to make

865
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: plays in the fourth quarters. It's a part of our

866
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 1: game plan that we have to incorporate if we plan

867
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: on having any success going forward. I totally agree, and

868
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm glad you said that, Isaiah about the

869
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean balance, doesn't have to mean fifty fifty because,

870
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: like I talked about that drive during the game, I

871
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 1: was like, they had to have a drive like this,

872
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: and on Twitter and guys came at me like THET

873
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: analytics dudes come out and they're like, no, you gotta throw,

874
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: you gotta throw, you gotta throw. Keep in mind, like

875
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: a lot of the problems they've had with turnovers that

876
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: lead to the time of possession problems and lead to

877
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 1: the defsits are because you have a banged up offensive

878
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: line and you're asking them to pass protect over and

879
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: over again. There are I know, Zeke's put the ball

880
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: on the ground some, but there's there's less of a

881
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 1: chance of turning the ball over if you you mix

882
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: in runs and you're not as bad as one sided. Uh.

883
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 1: And it does help your play action game, it doesn't,

884
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: you know. I think Mike McCarthy said, I don't think

885
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: his goal is fifty fifty. He said, I think it

886
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: of a perfect game. He said, it's like seventy plays

887
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: and he said forty forty passes, thirty runs, like just

888
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: some of that, not fifty seven passes. You know, that's

889
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: what they have to get away from. People have to

890
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,959
Speaker 1: understand that we're passing the ball like we've been doing.

891
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: It's very hard to manage the time of possession. Reason being,

892
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: even even on a completed pass, if I catch it

893
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: and go out of bounds, I guess what clock stops? Right?

894
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: If I throw an incomplete pass, guess what clock stops right.

895
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: So you're literally saving time exactly. You're doing exactly what

896
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: you want to do on two minutes drill right you

897
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: want to get out of bounds or you know you

898
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 1: want the clock to stop. We're doing that throughout the

899
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 1: whole game, and you're just giving up more opportunities for

900
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: them to do what they need to do on their

901
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: side of the ball. And then they just simply wait

902
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: for you to mess up or wait for you to

903
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: go three and out and guess what then then advantage switch,

904
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: it switches to the other team. It's interesting. I mean,

905
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: even look at the mistakes that were capitalized by the

906
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: Giants's past Sunday, I mean, the fourteen points off at turnovers,

907
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: and they controlled the game really up until the last

908
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: I guess, really the last quarter and a half of

909
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: this one, which is the one time that the Cowboys

910
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: have not seen a deficit throughout the course of the

911
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 1: course of the season. The way fun fact, the Cowboys

912
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:06,240
Speaker 1: have not led during any two minute warning at any

913
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: point in the season so far at all. That's devastating.

914
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: They have not led at any point, any of them.

915
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,719
