21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 7: night down at De Soto. So I heard they had

22
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 7: one hundred and fifty media requests this week, so the same. Yeah,

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 7: that's more than they deal with here sometimes.

24
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: In case you didn't know what high school football is

25
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: like in Texas. That's what high school football is like

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: in Texas. It is a.

27
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 7: Draw two top ten teams in the nation. Yeah, that's

28
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 7: what that's what it's going to bring.

29
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: I live about ten minutes from the Allen Stadium, where

30
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray went to high school and a bunch of

31
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: other NFL players have gone to high school. And it's

32
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 2: like on a Friday night when there's a home game,

33
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: you don't want to be in that area because it's gridlock.

34
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: Trying to get in and out of there is it's madness.

35
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 7: It makes me wonder about that apartment complex. It's like

36
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 7: right next to eighteen, right next to the Walmart, Like, I, I,

37
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 7: how do they live?

38
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: Would you want that? Like some people might be like, hey,

39
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: that's great, I got actors. I can just walk to

40
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: and from the stadium if I want to games.

41
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: And you know what, if you're a single guy and

42
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 3: you're in the sport, it's fair because you could go

43
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 3: walk to the baseball park too.

44
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got all of that.

45
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: There's some there's some I remember like living in Philly

46
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: when they had like the hockey arena and the basketball arena.

47
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: The vet was the like the vet was the baseball

48
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: and the football. But you could walk across the street

49
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 3: and if you lived in the area, if you were

50
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 3: into that, you could go to a you could go

51
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 3: to an event every night if you wanted to. You

52
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 3: go watch the seventy six Ers play, Flyers play on

53
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 3: the weekend, you catch the Eagles. You know. It was

54
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: it was actually it was pretty cool if you were

55
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: a you know, if you were just into that stuff.

56
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: And now they've built up that area. You got all

57
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 2: kinds of stuff in that area within walking distance if

58
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: you live there, as far as just kind of hanging

59
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: out watching games on even if you're not going to

60
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 2: the game, you can go down there to to a

61
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 2: couple of places.

62
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 7: Right you can watch the game and six Flags.

63
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 2: So yeah, six Flags right there. So it's not it's

64
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: not a bad one if you're a young, single person.

65
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 2: But I'm thinking if you got a family, you.

66
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: Might somebody likes football in your life or sports. Maybe

67
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: you never know.

68
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 7: I just know my luck. I would need to get

69
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 7: to like downtown Dallas at two pm on a Sunday afternoon,

70
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 7: and the Cowboys play at noon, and it takes me

71
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 7: an hour and a half to just get out of

72
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 7: my apartment complex, and that's that's where I draw away.

73
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 3: And you just zip right down there, hang it left

74
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: and you're on thirty.

75
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 7: You hang it left on Randall Mill.

76
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, come on, man, what are we doing?

77
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: Just hope that the street isn't blocked off. Just hope

78
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 2: that you could actually get the.

79
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 8: Opposite way when you head to the stadium and they

80
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 8: have a blocked street and now you're like, oh great,

81
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 8: and you got to turn around the.

82
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 3: Four hours for the game.

83
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: Four hours.

84
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's that's that's There was one game last year

85
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 7: I didn't get there in time and I had to

86
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 7: deal with all that mess. It took me like forty

87
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 7: five minutes to get in and I was like, I'm

88
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 7: never doing this again.

89
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: That's way and that's why we get You catch the

90
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: Chatty parking attendant Lot three.

91
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, absolutely, friend or guy? Yeah, yeah, I've see.

92
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 7: I've known Chatty years because he he also does a

93
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 7: Texas high school football state championships. But he kind of

94
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 7: runs in with the media with those guys because he

95
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 7: tries to tell them where to bart and he's like

96
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 7: they're like, no, we're not doing that. So they park

97
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 7: in the front row and he loses his mind. But

98
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 7: every time he's an interesting fellow.

99
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, nice guy.

100
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 7: He tells me.

101
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 8: There doesn't even stop, he just keeps going.

102
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 7: Well, and then he'll just hurry.

103
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: I'm in a hurry. I'm in a hurry. I gotta

104
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: get apart to get inside things to do. But I

105
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: do wave. I always wave at.

106
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 3: Him, just say, oh, I remember the way, like I

107
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 3: don't have time that way.

108
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 8: Thank you, you know, the classic.

109
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 3: Thank you. I'm supposed to be here, thank you.

110
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk some Cowboys football. Let's get into

111
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 2: some of the injury updates. Actually some positive things coming

112
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: from the Cowboys. We look at the injury report, uh

113
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: Drawn Bland, Kayln Carson, Trayvon Diggs, Tyler Guyden all full

114
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 2: participants yesterday and practice according to the practice report. That's

115
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: a positive sign obviously for them heading into this game

116
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 2: where they're about to face a really good offense. Particularly.

117
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: A couple of things did pop up of interest though.

118
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: Eric Kendricks did not practice due to a calf and

119
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 2: shoulder injury. Marki's Bell also out of practice. What are

120
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: we hearing about those guys?

121
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I think something to keep an eye on.

122
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 7: As as the week goes on is obviously great news

123
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 7: on a Darn Bland and Kayln Carson front. You would

124
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 7: want one or both of those guys back for a

125
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 7: Detroit game against the skill group. That's that's really talented.

126
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 7: But I think specifically for Eric Kendricks, he's dealing with

127
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 7: a calf and a shoulder. Did not practice when he

128
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 7: went down in week one for a couple of drives

129
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 7: because he was dealing with dehydration, needed to go to

130
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 7: the locker room and get an ivy. Nick Vigil was

131
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 7: the guy who stepped in and filled in his for

132
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 7: green dot responsibilities. He also did not practice yesterday. So

133
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 7: if both of those guys potentially cannot go on Sunday,

134
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 7: then who are you looking at to be the green

135
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 7: dot to be able to manage the defense. That's gonna

136
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 7: be a really big task for whoever has to take

137
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 7: that on. Whether it's Molie Hooker in the third level

138
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 7: or it's over shown it. But it's still young for him.

139
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 7: So you wonder, you wonder about.

140
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 3: You, wonder how much is going to play?

141
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 7: You wonder how I just wonder if this.

142
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 2: Would be the opportunity where he would play and you

143
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 2: will put him maybe in that kind of situation.

144
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 7: You definitely wonder about DeMont Clark as well. I think

145
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 7: Buddy Johnson, you wonder about it. It's it could be

146
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 7: a range of guys. I think there's probably six candidates

147
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 7: there that could that could feel that responsibility. But you

148
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 7: don't know who that's gonna be. If one of those

149
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 7: two or or or both of those guys cannot go.

150
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: How much of a loss would that be if if

151
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 2: Kendrick couldn't play, that pretty significant, Yeah.

152
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 7: I would say so, especially against this running game.

153
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 3: We yeah, we we got into it a little bit

154
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 3: yesterday about this. This team is going to challenge your linebackers,

155
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: much like the Saints challenged your linebackers. The Ravens challenged

156
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: your linebackers. These guys are the same way with they

157
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 3: run the ball. Dallas has lost games where their linebackers

158
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 3: haven't been able to be free. You know, the games

159
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 3: they've won. Brown's didn't really block them, Giants didn't block them,

160
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 3: Steelers didn't block them. You know, this is going to

161
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,119
Speaker 3: be a different animal. Like we talked about yesterday, these

162
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 3: linemen they're not interested in secure and they trust each

163
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 3: other that they're gonna shove a guy and go to

164
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: the next guy. They're not gonna they're not gonna sit

165
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: around to try and the Steelers were trying double the

166
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 3: one technique or double the three and then get to

167
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 3: the second level. These guys are just like what you

168
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: dealt with with the Ravens and the Saints. It's a

169
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 3: shove and a go. So you know, he his ability.

170
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I think every week he leads a team

171
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: in tackles. He's one of the top, you know, one

172
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 3: or two guys when it comes to tackles every week

173
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 3: for you. So not having Kendricks in this game would

174
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: be or limited what would be a big, big blow.

175
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: Assuming that that that would be the case. Let's say

176
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: that if that, if that was the case, is Demone

177
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: the guy that now is going to get those those

178
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: extra snaps and you're looking at him with lea file

179
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 2: and overshown.

180
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 7: That that's in the case of Vigil and Kendricks not

181
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 7: that would be my assumption. I mean, that's the guy

182
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 7: who should fill in that role. I mean, he had

183
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 7: agreed not responsibilities last year, right, But again, this is

184
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 7: a different defense. He's kind of seen himself fall out

185
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 7: of the rotation with the linebackers. I don't think he

186
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 7: played a defensive snap the entire game against the Steelers

187
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 7: and was very limited against the Giants. If he had

188
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 7: any compuiod.

189
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: It is from where he was last year to that.

190
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 3: Well, we've kind of talked about things that Mike Zimmer

191
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 3: likes about his defensive players. You better know be knowing

192
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: what you're supposed to do, you know, and you know

193
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 3: a sigment sound, you know, are you making mistakes? Are

194
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 3: you picking it out?

195
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 8: Notice a lot of that when you're looking at the time.

196
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: Are you practicing well, you know all those things. Are

197
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: you picking things up? That's the thing. Are you out

198
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: of position? It's another thing, you know, which.

199
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 7: This could be an opportunity for him to be able

200
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 7: to fill in and kind of rectify all those mistakes

201
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 7: that made early in the season, because against the Ravens

202
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 7: he stepped in in the fourth quarter he made some

203
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 7: really nice plays and that was kind of the beginning

204
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 7: of seeing his snaps taken away because he didn't get

205
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 7: into the into the game defensively until the fourth quarter

206
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 7: and then he made some plays. So if he's able

207
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 7: to get back into the game and maybe find a

208
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,599
Speaker 7: starting role against the Lions, then it's a good opportunity

209
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 7: for him, But I know there would be some concern

210
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 7: on the defensive staffs front, just from what they've shown

211
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 7: us so far in the trust that they put into

212
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 7: more Clark, because it hasn't really been there.

213
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: If it wasn't him, who would be that guy that

214
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: that you would see maybe stepping into that role of

215
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: both Vigil and Kendricks are out. Is there another option.

216
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 7: You want to say? At the same time, go ahead?

217
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 3: Ready?

218
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 7: One, two, three? Overshown, I think it'd be over I.

219
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 3: Was, you know what, I was struggling with it because

220
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 3: I think it'd be Clark. You know, I don't think.

221
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 3: I don't think it changes.

222
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 7: But if you said, if Clark's not the.

223
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 9: One, if the one, you know, are you looking? And

224
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 9: I still still I still could. I couldn't wrap my

225
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 9: arms around it not being Clark. Yeah, yeah, you know,

226
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 9: but if he's here, you got to use that it is.

227
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 3: It has to be. It has to be Clark. But

228
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 3: if they don't, he's right, Overshown would be the guy.

229
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 3: I just couldn't wrap my arms around it not being

230
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 3: anybody other than Clark.

231
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 7: They did talk about Mully Cooker at training camp picking

232
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 7: up some green dot responsibilities on days that Kendricks was

233
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 7: not practicing and things like that, just to get him

234
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 7: comfortable with it. So don't discount that option either.

235
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 8: But it's weird being so has about feeling confident in

236
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 8: how he can perform in there because we've seen him

237
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 8: you mentioned last year, Derek, we've seen it last year.

238
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 8: And yes, and even prior to him getting all the

239
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 8: opportunities that he got last year when he was coming

240
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 8: back from the injury and all of that, we talked

241
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 8: about him so much and we've seen the talent his ability,

242
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 8: and I don't think that's something you just lose so quickly.

243
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 8: He has it in him and maybe it is those

244
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 8: things where he's missing, those assignments that he can maybe

245
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 8: find the new fire in him. And like you were mentioning, Nick,

246
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 8: this is the game that kind of gets him back

247
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 8: into the makes and show what he can actually do.

248
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 8: But we know he has the talent to do the job.

249
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 3: What happened last year when Van der USh went out

250
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 3: to him, what happened to Clark.

251
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 2: Is play suffered that think, Yeah, he.

252
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: Needs somebody other people around him. He needs people.

253
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 7: Helping Malon absolutely a million.

254
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's and and again, I love the kid, I

255
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 3: really do. But you know, if there if you're if

256
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 3: they're not sure about you and your assignments and stuff

257
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 3: and being where you need to be, which said us

258
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 3: a bunch when Mike first took the gig. They're not

259
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 3: gonna play you. They're just not. He has to have

260
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 3: trust in what you're doing in your assignments in order

261
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 3: to make that work.

262
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 2: One other thing of note, and we didn't bring this

263
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 2: up yesterday, but I had it in my notes. Detroit

264
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: is a team that uses a lot of twelve personnel.

265
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 2: They are right now fourth in the league. And the

266
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: amount of times they use twelve personnel's one running back,

267
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 2: two tight ends at twenty eight percent of the time,

268
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: almost twenty nine percent of the time they're in twelve personnel.

269
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: That's a pretty big clip. That being said, you would

270
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: expect Dallas is probably going to match that with their

271
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: base defense. I think they're going to put a nickel

272
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 2: out there against a twelve offense, especially for a team

273
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: that likes to run a lot. That being said, they're

274
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: gonna need three linebackers at least a lot in that game,

275
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: I would think. And so that's where this becomes a

276
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: little very interesting thing.

277
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 3: You're about to play a team that runs more base

278
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 3: defense than you do, which is and this team will play,

279
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 3: this line's will play bass against eleven personal and twelve personnel.

280
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 2: They have interesting and.

281
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 3: They do it because they trust they trust Brian Branch

282
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 3: their safety. He was also like a corner like he

283
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 3: could play like you know they have. They have four

284
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 3: legitimate guys that can cover. It's much like what you're

285
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 3: about to experience with you know, we'll say with with

286
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 3: Carson and out with Bland and his health and all that.

287
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 3: But they can afford to play bass because they got

288
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 3: four legitimate cover guys, you know, and they can match you.

289
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 3: And and we'll get into Brian Branch because I have

290
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 3: a feeling that's where this thing is going to go.

291
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 3: To try and take lamb Away out of this game,

292
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 3: but also try and take Ferguson out of this game too,

293
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 3: with Brian Branch being that guy.

294
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna take our first break. We'll come back.

295
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: We're going to dive into that Detroit offense.

296
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 3: We'll be defense.

297
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Detroit offense. Sorry Detroit offense today, right, it's

298
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: defense defense. Yes, I loo' good.

299
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 7: You're good.

300
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 2: Detroit Defense.

301
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 3: Ready either way.

302
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: Detroit Defense Today. We'll talk about well about when we

303
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: come back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot com Radio.

304
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 10: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

305
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 10: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

306
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 10: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

307
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 10: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

308
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 10: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

309
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 10: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

310
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 10: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

311
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 10: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

312
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 10: T five G. Fast, reliable, Secure.

313
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,480

368
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,200

369
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 3: opinion on the corn dog.

370
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, she has a horrible opinion on that. She says

371
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: Texas State Fair food is not impressive.

372
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 8: It's not that impressive. It is not saying it.

373
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 2: That is a horrible tap.

374
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 8: People over hype it. I don't think it's that great.

375
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: I wonder is Craig Leaper's brother still the president of

376
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 3: the state I think.

377
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: I saw that. I want TV talking about it.

378
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 3: This talking about Yeah, that would be teammate on teammate.

379
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 8: Crime, Chrispy all that fried foods, Chrispy and.

380
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,479
Speaker 3: Teammates. Is the president of the State Fair and you're

381
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 3: trashing the great State Fair is.

382
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 8: A big statement. I just said it's over hyped.

383
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: And it's not. It's not Fletcher scorn dogs. I'll put

384
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 2: them up there with any.

385
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 3: Well worth it. Yeah, we worth it.

386
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 8: We'll keep enjoying it.

387
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 2: Then we will.

388
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 3: We will.

389
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: I'll be out there next week.

390
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 8: Do all your money on that.

391
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 2: I will. I absolutely will. Five I will. It'll be great,

392
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 2: it will be fun. All right, let's jump back in, Brian.

393
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: Let's talk about this Detroit defense. So the first thing

394
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 2: I noticed was they are twenty seventh in pass defense.

395
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 2: As much as we talk about all the things they

396
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: do really well, they have given up a lot of

397
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 2: yards in the air. Where are they most vulnerable in

398
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 2: their secondary Well.

399
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 3: If you block Aiden Hutchinson, they don't have a pass rush.

400
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 3: That's really where they're at there the bottom of the

401
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 3: league when it comes to pressures. Without him, he's one

402
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 3: of the best players in the league when it comes

403
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 3: to pressures. And you watch the game and you watch

404
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 3: how it progresses in these teams, you know they they

405
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 3: give him a lot of attention. Is a he's a

406
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 3: chip and a chip and now block the tackle on him. Guy,

407
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 3: he's that good of a player. But if you find

408
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 3: a way to control him in that part of the

409
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 3: game and he'll move around, he will move around. So

410
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: he will he will take a rush on, he'll take

411
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 3: a rush on Steele, and then he'll go on the

412
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 3: other side and take a rush on Guiton. So there's

413
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 3: really no rule, rhyme or reason why. They just kind

414
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 3: of hunt some matchups. But you got to be aware

415
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 3: of him. Where's number ninety seven And they don't really

416
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: have anybody else. I mean, they they've they've they've struggled,

417
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 3: They've struggled to get a pass rush. They you know,

418
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 3: they tried to do that through free agency. It you know,

419
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 3: they lost a couple of guys be due to injury.

420
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 3: Derek Barnes got hurt in the in the Arizona game

421
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 3: and he was a he was a good pass rusher

422
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 3: for him. Marcus Davenport is a guy they signed as

423
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 3: a free agent. He was going to play opposite he's

424
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 3: on IR So they really don't have anybody opposite of

425
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 3: Hutchson to be able to do that. So this is where,

426
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you you have a little bit

427
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 3: of an advantage. Don't let one guy kill your passing game,

428
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 3: because he can kill your passing game if you let

429
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 3: him to.

430
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 2: That point real quick. Yeah, Hutchinson, last year I had

431
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: four pressures in two sacks. Yeah, twenty six snaps versus Steel.

432
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 2: That ain't a good clip for Steel. No, is there

433
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 2: anything that you've seen as far as Steel, And I

434
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 2: think we all agree that Steele has a season war

435
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 2: on Last year he got better and this year I

436
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 2: think he's better than what he was last year. Do

437
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 2: you think that there are parts of his game that

438
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: have improved to the point where some of that can

439
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 2: be cleared up, or do you think this is still

440
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 2: going to be a challenge for.

441
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 3: Them good luck? Yeah, yeah, good luck. It's good, but

442
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 3: it's true. Yeah, because there's there's moments and I think

443
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 3: both tackles, yeah, or that way. I think there's moments,

444
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 3: maybe on the left side a little bit more of

445
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 3: a hold on to your rear kind of a thing.

446
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 3: But you know, with with Steel, there could be five, six,

447
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 3: seven great plays in a row, and then the one

448
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 3: time that he gets off balance, he maybe kicks too wide,

449
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 3: think he's going to have an edge rusher, and then

450
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 3: the rusher goes down inside. You know, you just got

451
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 3: to be He's got to be aware of that. He's

452
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 3: also got to know that when you watch the lines play,

453
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 3: Hutchinson will rush inside if they have a blitzer that's outside.

454
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 3: So if there's somebody standing outside of him, he's got

455
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 3: to kind of be aware that maybe this guy is

456
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 3: going to rush inside on me, because you're not gonna

457
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 3: have two guys rush the same gap. You're going to

458
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 3: you know, and and Hutchinson plays you thought that Watt

459
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 3: played wide last week. You'll see how why this guy plays,

460
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 3: he gets way out there, so he's going to challenge

461
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 3: you to be able to handle him playing from that

462
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 3: wide technique. But Stele, Yeah, it's it's you just know

463
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 3: that every game there's going to be one or two

464
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 3: snaps where it could probably end up in a sack

465
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 3: or he's going to give up a pressure and it's

466
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 3: but it's the nature of playing against guys like that.

467
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 3: You know, you're dealing with somebody that's an outstanding pass rush,

468
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 3: one of the best young pass rushers in the league.

469
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 3: So you got to help these guys a little bit.

470
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 3: You know, maybe this is a game where kind of

471
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 3: sneak around a little hunter lipkey, you know, kind of

472
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 3: you know, motion across boom, pick him up, line up

473
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 3: over their help, you know, everywhere. If I knew going

474
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 3: into this game, which I know watching the tape, and

475
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure these guys across the hall know ninety seven

476
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 3: is the one is going to kill your game. Everybody

477
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 3: else we could we can handle everybody else. We can

478
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 3: handle here. So make sure you take care of that

479
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 3: guy first.

480
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 2: Let's assume they get that done. Yeah, where are the

481
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 2: points of the secondary where they can have best success.

482
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you what. You know, there's they've got

483
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 3: a rookie corner playing right now. That's everybody's kind of

484
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 3: on Interry and Arnold that people are kind of down on. Actually, yes, yeah,

485
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 3: he's a really Dallas. They've traded up to Dallas's spot

486
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 3: to draft him. He was on a lot of boards.

487
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,479
Speaker 3: I know on my board he was the first corner

488
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 3: from that I had the number one corner. He fell

489
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 3: all the way down into the twenties.

490
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 7: Why had him too?

491
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, why do I have no idea?

492
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 7: I think that. I think that was a nature of

493
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 7: everybody drafting an offensive guy. The first round was so weird.

494
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 2: It's just one of those things where Welling just going in.

495
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 3: I don't think it was ability. I don't think it

496
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 3: was ability at all. I mean, it was a deep

497
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 3: draft for corners, and maybe some guys had some guys

498
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 3: higher than him. I sure didn't. This kid's a really

499
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 3: good football player. But where people have taken advantage? Now,

500
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 3: last year when you played this team, they were completely

501
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 3: different at corner. They had a guy named Cameron Sudden

502
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 3: that played corner and you lit him up. Yep, he

503
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 3: had no chance. Every target at him was a big play,

504
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 3: and they realized that we can't play that way, so

505
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 3: went and traded for Carlton Davis from Tampa. We're familiar

506
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 3: with Carlton Davis. He's played against the Cowboys before in

507
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 3: games in Tampa. Kind of had some mixed bag doing that,

508
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 3: you know, that kind of the coverage at Tampa. But

509
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 3: they drafted Arnold, they traded for Davis. It's a completely

510
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 3: different group now in the secondary and line. I mentioned

511
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 3: that's kind of where I would go. Carlton Davis if

512
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 3: you look at the balls that are thrown at him,

513
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 3: you know, if you look at him, now, this group

514
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 3: is good with their tight window throws. I mean, I

515
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 3: was like, man, they're they're close, They're close, They're close.

516
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 3: You kind of check that number. They're like fifth, sixth

517
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: in the league when it comes to tight window throws.

518
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 3: That shouldn't bother Dak. He's like, he gets more tight

519
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 3: window throws than any other quarterback in the league. You know,

520
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 3: his guys that they just they're tight window guys. So

521
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 3: where I would go though, is teams quarterbacks have had

522
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 3: some success throwing the ball at Davis, even on some

523
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 3: tight window stuff. The rookie, you know, is giving up

524
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 3: some plays. I think the rookie Arnold has there's some

525
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 3: separation at times with his games. But both corners have

526
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 3: kind of get picked on a little bit more. And

527
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 3: I think Carlton Davis gets picked on the most of

528
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 3: the two, and he's the veteran guy. The safety are there.

529
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 3: Nicol Robinson is another player that was added. They got

530
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 3: him from the Raiders. He's a tight window guy, but

531
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 3: he'll lose some separation and contact occasionally with you guys.

532
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 3: I mentioned Brian Branch, he's the safety. He was a

533
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 3: corner safety at Alabama. He's a I don't think he

534
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 3: gets nearly enough credit for how good of a football

535
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: player he is. And he could cover you in the slot.

536
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 3: He can and cover you well. He could cover a

537
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: tight end no problem. So I wonder how they're going

538
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 3: to play against Lamb in this game, and if they

539
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 3: find a way to kind of double, if they double

540
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 3: with like Joseph the safety, and then one of these

541
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 3: corners and then take Branch and put him on Ferguson

542
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 3: and then say, Okay, Tolbert and everybody else, you gotta

543
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 3: beat us today. But they've they if they don't get

544
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 3: any pass rush and as I mentioned, they play a

545
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 3: lot of bass that I mean they play primarily. You know,

546
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 3: they're well over fifty percent base of there the way

547
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 3: they play. So and Dak Prescott, I look this up

548
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 3: because I'm like, okay, here's the number. Fifty percent base.

549
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 3: That's the highest of anybody in the league. Dak sixty

550
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 3: percent win rate against base defense hasn't been sacked this year,

551
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 3: and the numbers like can say that league average I

552
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 3: think is forty eight percent of success. DA's at sixty.

553
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 3: These guys play base against him. That's a good matchup

554
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 3: for Dak Prescott.

555
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

556
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 12: Yeah.

557
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 7: Looking at this defensive line. If I could also highlight

558
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 7: one other guy that I think could be a problem

559
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 7: if they move this guy up and down the line,

560
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 7: a piano player. If we came back to draft show

561
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 7: Aileen McNeil, he's a guy that rotates in. You won't

562
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 7: see him start the game necessarily of a bully. Yeah,

563
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 7: you might see him start the game with a couple

564
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 7: of these injuries that they have up front. But I

565
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 7: think he's gonna be a guy you definitely see rotate in.

566
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 7: You'll see him inside, you'll see him outside. They will

567
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 7: move him up and down and he gets out for

568
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 7: the quarterback too. Eight pressures so far in three games,

569
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 7: three hundred and fifteen pounds. He's a guy that is

570
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 7: big in the middle and he can make some things happen.

571
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 7: And then also in the run game, they do have

572
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 7: Derek Barnes on the ir which will help as far

573
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 7: as the Cowboys trying to get into that second level.

574
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 7: But don't discount Malcolm Rodriguez out of Oklahoma State. That's

575
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 7: still a really powerful guy. Also came in that same

576
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 7: draft class as Aiden hutch and so in factor in

577
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 7: Hudginson's ability to defend the run, it's gonna be tough

578
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 7: for this run game still. And I think Brian Branch

579
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 7: when you factor in safeties that can play the run games,

580
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 7: he's top five in the league in mind so well

581
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 7: in coverage, he does well on the run.

582
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 3: I think they're linebacker To me, throwing the ball against

583
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 3: these guys is the best chance because again I think

584
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 3: the pressure you got to find a way. We mentioned

585
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 3: about Hutchinson, the corners, the possibility these linebackers a Zeloney

586
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 3: and Campbell are they played real tight to the line

587
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 3: of scrimmage, so I mean they're physical upfront, They're going

588
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 3: to try and beat you up. But these these linebackers

589
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 3: do a really good job of filling, getting off blocks,

590
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 3: making tackles. You'll see occasionally every once in a while

591
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 3: Campbell will miss the tackle. But man, it's just such

592
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 3: a physical front seven that you're dealing with. But I running,

593
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 3: I think is going to be difficult. I thought running

594
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 3: was gonna be difficult against the Steelers. They came out

595
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 3: and did a pretty damn good job against them, you know,

596
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 3: last week doing that. So uh but man, I think

597
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 3: the path the victory in this thing, if you had to,

598
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 3: is throwing the football because I'm just like I say,

599
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 3: block the front and and let these let the Cowboys

600
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 3: uh receivers work against the secondary a little bit.

601
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 2: One of the things that stood out to me is

602
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: I was looking at this team they are right now.

603
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 2: Obviously we know they were a good run defense, but

604
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: in their last game before the buye they played when

605
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: they played Seattle, Seattle hit him for one hundred and

606
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 2: thirty three rushouts. What did Seattle do in that game?

607
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 2: Was there anything specific that they did?

608
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 3: They were on the edge, they were on the edge.

609
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,959
Speaker 2: Is that something? Did they do things that the Cowboys

610
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 2: have shown any sort of propensity to be able to replicate.

611
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 3: Well, it's a lot of the inside hand off, the

612
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 3: read option stuff. It was, it was snap, it was

613
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 3: orbit motion, it was spin, turn in hand, it was

614
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 3: it wasn't like your traditional lineup, but they they took

615
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 3: the ball and tried to create ways, whether it was

616
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 3: toss or whether it was motion, and then come back

617
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 3: and then toss it. But they they knew that going

618
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 3: out on the edge was their best chance of running this.

619
00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 2: Football and they were successful.

620
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 3: They were successful doing it.

621
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, so I guess that that could create some

622
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 2: sort of opportunity for the Cowboys.

623
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 3: These guys are big. When you talk about Reader and

624
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 3: McNeil inside, they've got big body guys. That's the thing

625
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 3: that you have to kind of worry about. And we

626
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 3: saw it a little bit with the you know, with

627
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 3: the Steelers, I felt like mashing the edges was going

628
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 3: to be you know, some of the success you had,

629
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 3: but you did a pretty good job of handling inside

630
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 3: of the Steelers guys.

631
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 6: Uh.

632
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 3: But same challenge again this week. I think I think

633
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 3: the the linebackers here though, present a little bit of

634
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 3: a different problem for for you. Running the ball.

635
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, right, I want to attack the edge that Aiden

636
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 7: Hudgerson is not on.

637
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's an equally good run defender as pass.

638
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 7: Defender Josh Pascal. You want to be able to attack him.

639
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 7: I think he's easily the worst run defender on that line.

640
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 7: Not that he's a bad run defender, but I just

641
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 7: wouldn't call him. I wouldn't call him Mavericke. So somewhere

642
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 7: below that, below that range.

643
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 2: One other thing I was going to ask you on

644
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: on the how Cowboys, how the Cowboys should attack them

645
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 2: knowing that Aiden Hudginson is there and he can create

646
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 2: that pressure. Would you say this is a game where

647
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: you would lean more heavily on maybe spring them out

648
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 2: and just quick passes, get the ball out really quick.

649
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 2: Or would you do would you would you opt for

650
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 2: more max protect where you keep more guys in with

651
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 2: the opportunity to give Dak a little more of an

652
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 2: opportunity to get downfield, maybe make.

653
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 3: Some big play. Worry about the quick game because of

654
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 3: how much press coverage they play. Now they're gonna play

655
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 3: man coverage, right they They went from being a team

656
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 3: that played a lot of zone last year because those

657
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,239
Speaker 3: corners were not good, right, So they had to They

658
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 3: have a lot more confidence in Davis and then Arnold

659
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 3: and then and then Branch and their ability to cover.

660
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 3: They have a lot more. So they're playing a lot

661
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 3: more man coverage. If they're up on you, I don't

662
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 3: know how much quick passing game you're gonna get off.

663
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 3: You know, if there was a team that played like

664
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 3: last week, the Steelers played a ton of zone coverage

665
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 3: against you. If you're getting guys playing off, that's to

666
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 3: me with a quick passing game. They took advantage of,

667
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 3: you know, the space because those screens and stuff that

668
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 3: they threw because the corners were backed off there. So

669
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 3: I would I would tend to lean towards Max protecting

670
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 3: this thing and try to throw the ball.

671
00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 7: I think there could be a little bit of succes

672
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 7: us in the quick game, just because I think back

673
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 7: to last year against the Lions. Again, there's a couple

674
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 7: of different faces in the secondary, but it's still the

675
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 7: same bread and butter at the end of the day.

676
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 7: And you see CD getting thirteen receptions for two hundred

677
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 7: and twenty seven yards, and that was more of a

678
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 7: product of the quick game. And so I think if

679
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 7: they can line him up in situations where he can

680
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,239
Speaker 7: kind of get some freedom, which that's a little bit

681
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 7: different this year, especially in motion, that that would be

682
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 7: a little bit different this year.

683
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, we'll believe that when we see it.

684
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 6: Right.

685
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 7: All in all, I think you got to be able

686
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 7: to find ways to scheme ced Lamb open on one

687
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 7: on one coverage because we look at these second half stats,

688
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 7: four receptions for twenty five yards in the entire second

689
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 7: halves of games this season for ced Lamb. They got

690
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 7: to be able to get him open. They got to

691
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 7: be able to identify some some matchups that they can

692
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 7: key him in on, whether that be one on one

693
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 7: with Terry and Arnold or shoot one on one with

694
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 7: Brian Branch. Just put him one on one with somebody

695
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 7: and let him go make a play. That's why you

696
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 7: pay him the money you do.

697
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 3: If I told you that his read his targets, and

698
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 3: I looked this up because I was curious, If I

699
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 3: told you his targets in off coverage is half of

700
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 3: what it was last year, would you believe me?

701
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: Shocking to me?

702
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 7: I would believe you just from the fact that it is.

703
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 3: This season, he's had eleven targets in off coverage six catches.

704
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 3: That's half of what he had. His his targets against

705
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 3: man are the same as they were last year. Trending

706
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 3: that way.

707
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 7: Are we talking about this point last year?

708
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, trending up, trending up for the targets against

709
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 3: man off coverage, half the targets against Tell me why you.

710
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 7: Think that's a product Are you saying number wise or

711
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 7: percentage wise?

712
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 3: Both?

713
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 7: Okay? You think that's a product more of just more

714
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 7: man defenses these first few weeks, or.

715
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 3: It's the same. It's it's it's it's funny because to me,

716
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out to me, getting him the

717
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 3: ball on the move in off coverage and letting him

718
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 3: run after catch would be that would be my goal. Yeah,

719
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 3: And the fact that they've got half of the targets

720
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 3: at this point time he had twenty two targets I

721
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 3: believe twenty two or twenty three targets against off coverage

722
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 3: at this point and now we're still the point whe

723
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 3: the offense hasn't done the everybody losing their mind bit,

724
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 3: you know. But then we get after the San Francisco game.

725
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 3: But the fact that he does it, that they're not

726
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 3: throwing him the ball more and off coverage. I have

727
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 3: no idea why.

728
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 8: Well, you know the other day when you asked, you

729
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 8: weren't here, Nick, but when you were asking questions, it

730
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 8: was on Tuesday and you asked Derrek and I should

731
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 8: we shoot fans be worried about Ceedee Lamb? And he

732
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 8: led me to thinking, because of how you answer that

733
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 8: Derek world, defenses are paying more attention to him, and

734
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 8: now that creates more opportunities for everybody else on the offense.

735
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 8: And he led me to think, I'm like, okay, then

736
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 8: what was the difference then last year during that second

737
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 8: half of last year, because he was the one still

738
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 8: catching balls all the time, and you can't tell me

739
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 8: that defenses weren't trying to take him out of the

740
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 8: game either, So what's the difference this year versus?

741
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 3: I think I'm trying to figure out why the off

742
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 3: coverage numbers are down. To me, that's the best time

743
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 3: to throw the ball to CD Lamb. Let him get

744
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 3: the ball with some separation and then magic, you know

745
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 3: that kind of thing.

746
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 7: I think there was more respect for the other receivers involved,

747
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 7: because Brandon Cooks really start to heat up along the

748
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 7: second half of the season two, and I think that

749
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 7: opened up a lot of opportunities for CD. I don't

750
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 7: necessarily have a question for your or answer for your question, Brian,

751
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 7: I don't know's that's because whenever he does get a

752
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 7: ball and off coverage, whether it be like a quick hitch, Yeah,

753
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 7: I love the ability of him to be able to

754
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 7: catch the ball and then just kind of wiggle and

755
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 7: be able to kind of like look around his shoulders

756
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 7: and be able to spin.

757
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 2: Fine.

758
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 7: Oh it's a half the number move.

759
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 2: For that doesn't mean and so just to be clear

760
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 2: on that, Brian, are you saying that the same number

761
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 2: of opportunities of at with off coverage are this year

762
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 2: as last year. Yeah, they just have half the number

763
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 2: of tries when they've taken advantage of it.

764
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 3: They have if I cause I was I'm trying, I'm

765
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 3: working on mysteries without any clues. I'm at Bob Singer

766
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 3: song right now, Yeah, and I'm trying to kind of

767
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 3: figure out. Let me if we go to if you

768
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 3: go to break, I'll go to break. I'll come back

769
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 3: and I'll read you exactly what I learned about this.

770
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 2: Right, let's do it. Let's take a break. We'll come back,

771
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 2: we'll hear what Brian has to say on that. We'll

772
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 2: talk a little bit more about that topic. You'll also

773
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 2: get into a couple offensive guys, and I want to

774
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 2: get some player evaluations from will to be back Dallas

775
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 2: Cowboys dot com Radio.

776
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 6: If you can't be at the stadium, there's no better

777
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,239

836
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 2: This segment's brought to you by blockchain dot Com. All right, Brian,

837
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 2: you were you were telling us before you break God

838
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 2: and clarify. You've looked up some information I did.

839
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 3: This is where I pulled this from. Okay, and this

840
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 3: is because it's it was relating to Lamb and I

841
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 3: was curious and then I saw this note because it

842
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 3: had to do with the Lions, and the Lions of

843
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 3: a line. They're outside cornerbacks and press coverage about thirty

844
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 3: four percent of their snaps this season. That's the fifth

845
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 3: highest in the NFL. So they're gonna play press corner.

846
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 3: That's kind of their back the matchup ceedee. Lamb has

847
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 3: stayed effective against press coverage this season, recording a near

848
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 3: identical target rate twenty seven percent and yards per route

849
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 3: two point eight to last year, so that's very similar

850
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 3: against the press coverage. Lamb's drop off in performance has

851
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 3: mainly come against off coverage, where he has just caught

852
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 3: six of eleven targets for fifty eight yards. His target

853
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 3: rate has been cut in half against off coverage this season.

854
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 3: That's fourteen percent compared to last season's thirty percent. So

855
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 3: that's where we're at with that.

856
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 2: Well, it sounds like it's not as much of a

857
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 2: problem this week because it they play a lot of

858
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 2: press coverage cover that's what he's doing well against.

859
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 3: But you wonder, how why are they are they are

860
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 3: they facing off coverage and in the in the second

861
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 3: half of games fair and he's not getting the opportunity

862
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 3: in the off coverage that the Daks throwing the ball

863
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 3: to other guys in off coverage that he feels like

864
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 3: might be a little bit more open.

865
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,959
Speaker 7: Again, I wonder if this is just me theorizing out loud,

866
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 7: most of his action last season was in the quick game.

867
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 7: I think this is just kind of a guestimation, but

868
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 7: I would say probably sixty percent of his completions last

869
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 7: year wor quick game. It was slants, hitches, quick curls.

870
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 7: I mean, it was quick outs. I mean he was

871
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 7: getting the ball quick. So I wonder if if defenses

872
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 7: have identified that looked at it and be like, Okay,

873
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 7: if we play more off coverage and that gives us

874
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 7: a little bit more leverage to be able to play

875
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 7: in front or keep Cede Lamb in front of us

876
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 7: if he were to run those quick game type routes,

877
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 7: and then you know, if Dak Prescott sees that, then

878
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 7: he's probably looking elsewhere. So that's just me theorizing out loud, though.

879
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 7: But I do wonder why the target share is cut

880
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 7: in half compared to last year because that same problem

881
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 7: would have still existed last year. So I don't know

882
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:38,240
Speaker 7: that's interesting.

883
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 2: That is a baffling stat but you know, I mean,

884
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 2: I think at the end of the day, I still

885
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: think that part of what we're seeing at the early

886
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 2: part of this year isn't it, you know, not really

887
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 2: an adapt and adaptation because I think Dak and CD

888
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 2: are on. I think they're on the same page. They've

889
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 2: played enough together. I do think timing, though, is a

890
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,439
Speaker 2: part of it. When you don't go to train in camp,

891
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 2: I think timing can be a part of the issue,

892
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 2: and so I do give a little bit of difference

893
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 2: to that. I don't know if it would make that

894
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: big of a difference where you know, you're cut in

895
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 2: half the number of opportunities you're getting in an off coverage,

896
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 2: but I do think that's a part of it.

897
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 8: At what point do we stop referencing training camp.

898
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 2: Well, no, and I'm not saying that it shouldn't be corrected.

899
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 2: At this point, it should be correct. My point is,

900
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 2: though the numbers in the first five weeks could have

901
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 2: been affected by more so even week one, week two,

902
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 2: week three, and by now it may not be as effective.

903
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 2: But we're looking at numbers over the entire first five games,

904
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: which means it could be skewed a little bit because

905
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 2: early on they were having some of those challenges. My

906
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 2: question would be on a week to week basis, what

907
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 2: does that look like? And every week has it gotten better?

908
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 2: My expectations it should if that's the problem, If the

909
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 2: problem is really about timing, it should get better every week, right, it.

910
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 8: Should, especially with two veteran guys, two professionals, two guys

911
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 8: that have been I mean, you look out how they

912
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 8: were last year during that second half of the season,

913
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 8: and you would expect it to be a lot better.

914
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 8: So it's just it's it's interesting in the and yet

915
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 8: I agree, we all I think we all agree at

916
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 8: this point that him missing training camp has affected his game. Uh,

917
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 8: But at the same time, it's like we're week seeks it.

918
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 7: We are we are, I think even more so, not

919
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 7: only I think if we are attributing some of this

920
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 7: to CID not being a training camp, I think there's

921
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,919
Speaker 7: also a little bit of attribution that I think needs

922
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 7: to go towards the offense not playing in the preseason,

923
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 7: because we saw this last year where they had a

924
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 7: slow start and you saw rhythm and things that weren't

925
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 7: quite developed, and then they didn't integrate motion. They didn't

926
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 7: integrate a lot of things until after the buye. I

927
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 7: was like, okay, then was before the buy your preseason?

928
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 7: Then if only you had three games to work those

929
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 7: things out.

930
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,240
Speaker 2: But you know, I mean, honestly, you across the league

931
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 2: we saw first couple of weeks scoring was down, offenses

932
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 2: weren't going. I really think that's a function of across

933
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 2: the league teams not playing their starters or in the preseason.

934
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 2: I think, what's happening now and if they moved eighteen

935
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 2: games I think will happen even more is the first

936
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 2: few weeks of the NFL season really is a preseason,

937
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 2: and so you're going to be kind of just struggling

938
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 2: to make it work those first few weeks, and then

939
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 2: you start getting on your role and then you start

940
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 2: really figuring out what works for you.

941
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 7: Look at the two teams out are five and zero,

942
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 7: and see how much their starters played in the preseason.

943
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 2: That's all I guess were the teams They played a lot, not.

944
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 7: A lot, but they played you know, like Mahomes played quarters. Yeah,

945
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 7: he played quarters at a time. Yeah, Donald, those guys

946
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 7: they played quarters at a time.

947
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 3: So there was a time where I would have fought

948
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 3: you on this. Now you're I can't fight you anymore.

949
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 14: Yeah.

950
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 7: I mean there's a lot of.

951
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 3: People out there listening right now and like say something

952
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 3: broad us. You're the one that always says that the games,

953
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 3: the practices against the Rams were and I do think

954
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 3: they were beneficial for you because you can control and

955
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 3: Dak got you know, basically two hundred snaps against a

956
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 3: first team defense and he didn't get hit in any

957
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:55,720
Speaker 3: of those times.

958
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 8: But also a lot of questionable no there no question.

959
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 7: Now you're like, huh, no question, We're not, you know.

960
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 3: And there's a side of me that you know, the

961
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 3: scaredy player personnel guy. That's me. I'm the scary player

962
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 3: personnel guy, and I don't want anybody to get hurt

963
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 3: and I.

964
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 7: Think whenever Tyron Smith had that injury a couple of

965
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 7: years ago, even though it wasn't in a preseason game.

966
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 7: But you also called back to Romo having his preseason injury,

967
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 7: went back when I wonder how much of that is

968
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 7: just kind of PTSD from preseason injuries. Yeah, I do

969
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 7: think about that. You mentioned Dak not getting hit, but

970
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 7: a Ram Stafford did, so, Yeah, there was still physicality.

971
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 3: It was physicality involved.

972
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 2: You had to bring that up.

973
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 7: It was the first thing that it was a crazy

974
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 7: when it happened, it was hilarious, well not hilarious. Fine,

975
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 7: he was fine, So it was funny.

976
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 2: All right, real quick, before we end the show, I

977
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,959
Speaker 2: did want to get an update on what you guys

978
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 2: saw from Cooper BB in this last game. We hadn't

979
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 2: talked much about him, but how has his progression worked out?

980
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 2: I know we talk a lot about Guiden. How much

981
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 2: has BB progressed now over the first five games of

982
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 2: the season.

983
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 7: Well, I will there's a quote from Mike McCarthy directly

984
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 7: from the pre conference going on. I think right now

985
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 7: he had said that Cooper BB through the first five

986
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 7: games quote has done a heck of a job and

987
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 7: he is quote two and seventy two percent better at

988
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 7: snapping since the start of training camps.

989
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 2: Twenty Yeah, I would have said seventy three.

990
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,399
Speaker 7: He's a big analytics guy. He's got a huge analytics team.

991
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 2: So they put that number, and they do have a

992
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 2: lot of them.

993
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll tell you what, how do you get to

994
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 7: that number? How analytics?

995
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 3: I feel like they you're right that the calls it

996
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 3: just doesn't seem to be you know, the snapping part

997
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 3: of it. We were kind of worried about the calls

998
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 3: appear fine. You haven't seen any major busts or anything. Inside,

999
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 3: you know, it's where they've had problems. It seems like

1000
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 3: it's been more on the edges than inside. So you

1001
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 3: got you got to give a tip of the cap

1002
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 3: to him. The one thing he's got to do. He's

1003
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 3: got to learn this. It's like he has got too

1004
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 3: pro Bowl guys playing next to him. Shove that guy,

1005
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 3: Shove him and go. You can you can help this

1006
00:44:56,719 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 3: running game being up there blocking Angeloni or blocking one

1007
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 3: of their you know, blocking one of their guys. Yeah,

1008
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 3: you're helping get the play going. But we need that

1009
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 3: guy blocked. If we get that guy blocked. Instead of

1010
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 3: a six yard run, it might be a twelve yard run.

1011
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 3: You know, he's got to do a better job of

1012
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 3: like he's thinking so much of got to secure this guy.

1013
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 3: Gotta secure this guy instead of shoving with power. You

1014
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 3: got pro bowl guards that can handle him one on

1015
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 3: one and go get on the second level and when

1016
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 3: that ball cuts right behind you, it's going to be

1017
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 3: a pretty play that we sow on sounds to the

1018
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 3: sidelines now, Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Yeah, make sure, you know,

1019
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 3: make sure you get up on that second level. You

1020
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 3: get those blocks.

1021
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 7: One thing that I think will help Cooper bb in

1022
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 7: these next few weeks as Zach Martin's finally hitting his stride.

1023
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 7: I think he had a slow start to the season

1024
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 7: from my perspective, but that game against the Steelers and

1025
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 7: probably the second half against the Giants, I really like

1026
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 7: the work that he's put together over the last six

1027
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 7: quarters or so.

1028
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a stark reminder, Brian, as you were

1029
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 2: talking about Detroit and how they do that. They don't

1030
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 2: waste time, they and they're off to the second level,

1031
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 2: and it made me think, like that's exactly what I

1032
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 2: want Bab to study and figure out because if he

1033
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 2: gets that part of his game down, I think it's

1034
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 2: going to add a lot to this offense.

1035
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 3: He's just I went through and just look at the

1036
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 3: metrics real quick, and in two hundred and seven pass snaps,

1037
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 3: he's only giving up nine pressures. Yeah, and three of

1038
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 3: those pressures have been one on one.

1039
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 2: Right now, he's second among all rookie offensive linemen and

1040
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,720
Speaker 2: the pressure is allowed, Yeah, which tells you something across

1041
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 2: the entire league. That's a pretty impressive stat. So he's

1042
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 2: I think he's doing some good things. Like you said,

1043
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 2: I think it's a matter of how do you go

1044
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 2: from being pretty good to now being a real real

1045
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,919
Speaker 2: asset to this offense and this offensive line.

1046
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, I appreciate if I could injury news just from

1047
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 7: the press conference. I'll go through it really quick. Deron

1048
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 7: Bland came out of yesterday's practice quote good. Today will

1049
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 7: be a real test for him, according to Mike McCarthy.

1050
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 7: McCarthy also said Eric Kendricks will be limited today with

1051
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 7: his shoulder and calf issue, so that's that's really good,

1052
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 7: but he will start with the rehab group. Kayln Carson

1053
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 7: will be back with the rehab group today after being

1054
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 7: a full participant yesterday, so something to keep an eye

1055
00:46:58,160 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 7: on moving forward.

1056
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 3: I Ain good. That's that.

1057
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 2: Seems like a little going backwards for him, but going

1058
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 2: forward for the other two. So we'll see where that

1059
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 2: all lands out. Yeah, all right till tomorrow. Tomorrow will

1060
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 2: wrap this whole thing up. Amber Yetty games tomorrow until

1061
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,359
Speaker 2: then for Nick Harris, Ryan Brost and Amber Garcia. I'm
