<v Speaker 7>Hi, everybody doing doing well? Cannot complain, Yeah, cannot complain.

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 2>So you got on your Duncanville y Soto game.

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.120
<v Speaker 7>Yep, yep, Yeah, but sure it's gonna be fun tomorrow

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 7>night down at De Soto. So I heard they had

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:14.039
<v Speaker 7>one hundred and fifty media requests this week, so the same. Yeah,

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:15.679
<v Speaker 7>that's more than they deal with here sometimes.

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 2>In case you didn't know what high school football is

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 2>like in Texas. That's what high school football is like

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 2>in Texas. It is a.

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.119
<v Speaker 7>Draw two top ten teams in the nation. Yeah, that's

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:26.120
<v Speaker 7>what that's what it's going to bring.

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 2>I live about ten minutes from the Allen Stadium, where

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Kyler Murray went to high school and a bunch of

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 2>other NFL players have gone to high school. And it's

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.839
<v Speaker 2>like on a Friday night when there's a home game,

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 2>you don't want to be in that area because it's gridlock.

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Trying to get in and out of there is it's madness.

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.319
<v Speaker 7>It makes me wonder about that apartment complex. It's like

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 7>right next to eighteen, right next to the Walmart, Like, I, I,

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 7>how do they live?

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Would you want that? Like some people might be like, hey,

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 2>that's great, I got actors. I can just walk to

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 2>and from the stadium if I want to games.

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 3>And you know what, if you're a single guy and

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 3>you're in the sport, it's fair because you could go

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 3>walk to the baseball park too.

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you got all of that.

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 3>There's some there's some I remember like living in Philly

0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 3>when they had like the hockey arena and the basketball arena.

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 3>The vet was the like the vet was the baseball

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 3>and the football. But you could walk across the street

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 3>and if you lived in the area, if you were

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 3>into that, you could go to a you could go

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 3>to an event every night if you wanted to. You

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 3>go watch the seventy six Ers play, Flyers play on

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.920
<v Speaker 3>the weekend, you catch the Eagles. You know. It was

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 3>it was actually it was pretty cool if you were

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 3>a you know, if you were just into that stuff.

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 2>And now they've built up that area. You got all

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:41.920
<v Speaker 2>kinds of stuff in that area within walking distance if

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 2>you live there, as far as just kind of hanging

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 2>out watching games on even if you're not going to

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:47.679
<v Speaker 2>the game, you can go down there to to a

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:48.639
<v Speaker 2>couple of places.

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 7>Right you can watch the game and six Flags.

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:52.639
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, six Flags right there. So it's not it's

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 2>not a bad one if you're a young, single person.

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 2>But I'm thinking if you got a family, you.

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 3>Might somebody likes football in your life or sports. Maybe

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 3>you never know.

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:02.799
<v Speaker 7>I just know my luck. I would need to get

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:06.800
<v Speaker 7>to like downtown Dallas at two pm on a Sunday afternoon,

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 7>and the Cowboys play at noon, and it takes me

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 7>an hour and a half to just get out of

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.080
<v Speaker 7>my apartment complex, and that's that's where I draw away.

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 3>And you just zip right down there, hang it left

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 3>and you're on thirty.

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 7>You hang it left on Randall Mill.

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:20.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, come on, man, what are we doing?

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Just hope that the street isn't blocked off. Just hope

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.079
<v Speaker 2>that you could actually get the.

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 8>Opposite way when you head to the stadium and they

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 8>have a blocked street and now you're like, oh great,

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:32.840
<v Speaker 8>and you got to turn around the.

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:33.919
<v Speaker 3>Four hours for the game.

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Four hours.

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that's that's that's There was one game last year

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 7>I didn't get there in time and I had to

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 7>deal with all that mess. It took me like forty

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 7>five minutes to get in and I was like, I'm

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 7>never doing this again.

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 3>That's way and that's why we get You catch the

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 3>Chatty parking attendant Lot three.

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 7>Uh yeah, absolutely, friend or guy? Yeah, yeah, I've see.

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 7>I've known Chatty years because he he also does a

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 7>Texas high school football state championships. But he kind of

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 7>runs in with the media with those guys because he

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 7>tries to tell them where to bart and he's like

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 7>they're like, no, we're not doing that. So they park

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 7>in the front row and he loses his mind. But

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 7>every time he's an interesting fellow.

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, nice guy.

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 7>He tells me.

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 8>There doesn't even stop, he just keeps going.

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 7>Well, and then he'll just hurry.

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm in a hurry. I'm in a hurry. I gotta

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 2>get apart to get inside things to do. But I

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:19.920
<v Speaker 2>do wave. I always wave at.

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 3>Him, just say, oh, I remember the way, like I

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.040
<v Speaker 3>don't have time that way.

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 8>Thank you, you know, the classic.

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 3>Thank you. I'm supposed to be here, thank you.

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:36.599
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's talk some Cowboys football. Let's get into

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 2>some of the injury updates. Actually some positive things coming

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 2>from the Cowboys. We look at the injury report, uh

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Drawn Bland, Kayln Carson, Trayvon Diggs, Tyler Guyden all full

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:49.039
<v Speaker 2>participants yesterday and practice according to the practice report. That's

0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>a positive sign obviously for them heading into this game

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.720
<v Speaker 2>where they're about to face a really good offense. Particularly.

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 2>A couple of things did pop up of interest though.

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Eric Kendricks did not practice due to a calf and

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:05.280
<v Speaker 2>shoulder injury. Marki's Bell also out of practice. What are

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 2>we hearing about those guys?

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, so I think something to keep an eye on.

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 7>As as the week goes on is obviously great news

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 7>on a Darn Bland and Kayln Carson front. You would

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 7>want one or both of those guys back for a

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 7>Detroit game against the skill group. That's that's really talented.

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.760
<v Speaker 7>But I think specifically for Eric Kendricks, he's dealing with

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 7>a calf and a shoulder. Did not practice when he

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.280
<v Speaker 7>went down in week one for a couple of drives

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 7>because he was dealing with dehydration, needed to go to

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 7>the locker room and get an ivy. Nick Vigil was

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 7>the guy who stepped in and filled in his for

0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 7>green dot responsibilities. He also did not practice yesterday. So

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 7>if both of those guys potentially cannot go on Sunday,

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.039
<v Speaker 7>then who are you looking at to be the green

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:43.840
<v Speaker 7>dot to be able to manage the defense. That's gonna

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 7>be a really big task for whoever has to take

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 7>that on. Whether it's Molie Hooker in the third level

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.600
<v Speaker 7>or it's over shown it. But it's still young for him.

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.600
<v Speaker 7>So you wonder, you wonder about.

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:55.800
<v Speaker 3>You, wonder how much is going to play?

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:57.600
<v Speaker 7>You wonder how I just wonder if this.

0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.720
<v Speaker 2>Would be the opportunity where he would play and you

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:01.839
<v Speaker 2>will put him maybe in that kind of situation.

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 7>You definitely wonder about DeMont Clark as well. I think

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 7>Buddy Johnson, you wonder about it. It's it could be

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 7>a range of guys. I think there's probably six candidates

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.400
<v Speaker 7>there that could that could feel that responsibility. But you

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:12.840
<v Speaker 7>don't know who that's gonna be. If one of those

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:14.599
<v Speaker 7>two or or or both of those guys cannot go.

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 2>How much of a loss would that be if if

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Kendrick couldn't play, that pretty significant, Yeah.

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 7>I would say so, especially against this running game.

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.760
<v Speaker 3>We yeah, we we got into it a little bit

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 3>yesterday about this. This team is going to challenge your linebackers,

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 3>much like the Saints challenged your linebackers. The Ravens challenged

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.040
<v Speaker 3>your linebackers. These guys are the same way with they

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:39.159
<v Speaker 3>run the ball. Dallas has lost games where their linebackers

0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 3>haven't been able to be free. You know, the games

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:46.280
<v Speaker 3>they've won. Brown's didn't really block them, Giants didn't block them,

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:48.839
<v Speaker 3>Steelers didn't block them. You know, this is going to

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.119
<v Speaker 3>be a different animal. Like we talked about yesterday, these

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.920
<v Speaker 3>linemen they're not interested in secure and they trust each

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 3>other that they're gonna shove a guy and go to

0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 3>the next guy. They're not gonna they're not gonna sit

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 3>around to try and the Steelers were trying double the

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 3>one technique or double the three and then get to

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 3>the second level. These guys are just like what you

0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 3>dealt with with the Ravens and the Saints. It's a

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 3>shove and a go. So you know, he his ability.

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think every week he leads a team

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 3>in tackles. He's one of the top, you know, one

0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 3>or two guys when it comes to tackles every week

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 3>for you. So not having Kendricks in this game would

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 3>be or limited what would be a big, big blow.

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Assuming that that that would be the case. Let's say

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 2>that if that, if that was the case, is Demone

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 2>the guy that now is going to get those those

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 2>extra snaps and you're looking at him with lea file

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 2>and overshown.

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 7>That that's in the case of Vigil and Kendricks not

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 7>that would be my assumption. I mean, that's the guy

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:44.800
<v Speaker 7>who should fill in that role. I mean, he had

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 7>agreed not responsibilities last year, right, But again, this is

0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 7>a different defense. He's kind of seen himself fall out

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.920
<v Speaker 7>of the rotation with the linebackers. I don't think he

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 7>played a defensive snap the entire game against the Steelers

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 7>and was very limited against the Giants. If he had

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.400
<v Speaker 7>any compuiod.

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 2>It is from where he was last year to that.

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, we've kind of talked about things that Mike Zimmer

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 3>likes about his defensive players. You better know be knowing

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 3>what you're supposed to do, you know, and you know

0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 3>a sigment sound, you know, are you making mistakes? Are

0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 3>you picking it out?

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 8>Notice a lot of that when you're looking at the time.

0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.120
<v Speaker 3>Are you practicing well, you know all those things. Are

0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 3>you picking things up? That's the thing. Are you out

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 3>of position? It's another thing, you know, which.

0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 7>This could be an opportunity for him to be able

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.440
<v Speaker 7>to fill in and kind of rectify all those mistakes

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 7>that made early in the season, because against the Ravens

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 7>he stepped in in the fourth quarter he made some

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.840
<v Speaker 7>really nice plays and that was kind of the beginning

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 7>of seeing his snaps taken away because he didn't get

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 7>into the into the game defensively until the fourth quarter

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.559
<v Speaker 7>and then he made some plays. So if he's able

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:51.360
<v Speaker 7>to get back into the game and maybe find a

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.599
<v Speaker 7>starting role against the Lions, then it's a good opportunity

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 7>for him, But I know there would be some concern

0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.320
<v Speaker 7>on the defensive staffs front, just from what they've shown

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 7>us so far in the trust that they put into

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 7>more Clark, because it hasn't really been there.

0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 2>If it wasn't him, who would be that guy that

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 2>that you would see maybe stepping into that role of

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:10.280
<v Speaker 2>both Vigil and Kendricks are out. Is there another option.

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 7>You want to say? At the same time, go ahead?

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Ready?

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 7>One, two, three? Overshown, I think it'd be over I.

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 3>Was, you know what, I was struggling with it because

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.200
<v Speaker 3>I think it'd be Clark. You know, I don't think.

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:23.319
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it changes.

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 7>But if you said, if Clark's not the.

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 9>One, if the one, you know, are you looking? And

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.200
<v Speaker 9>I still still I still could. I couldn't wrap my

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.560
<v Speaker 9>arms around it not being Clark. Yeah, yeah, you know,

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 9>but if he's here, you got to use that it is.

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 3>It has to be. It has to be Clark. But

0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 3>if they don't, he's right, Overshown would be the guy.

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.880
<v Speaker 3>I just couldn't wrap my arms around it not being

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:47.080
<v Speaker 3>anybody other than Clark.

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 7>They did talk about Mully Cooker at training camp picking

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.280
<v Speaker 7>up some green dot responsibilities on days that Kendricks was

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 7>not practicing and things like that, just to get him

0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.360
<v Speaker 7>comfortable with it. So don't discount that option either.

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:02.679
<v Speaker 8>But it's weird being so has about feeling confident in

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:04.960
<v Speaker 8>how he can perform in there because we've seen him

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.840
<v Speaker 8>you mentioned last year, Derek, we've seen it last year.

0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 8>And yes, and even prior to him getting all the

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 8>opportunities that he got last year when he was coming

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.640
<v Speaker 8>back from the injury and all of that, we talked

0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 8>about him so much and we've seen the talent his ability,

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:25.040
<v Speaker 8>and I don't think that's something you just lose so quickly.

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.240
<v Speaker 8>He has it in him and maybe it is those

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 8>things where he's missing, those assignments that he can maybe

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.440
<v Speaker 8>find the new fire in him. And like you were mentioning, Nick,

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 8>this is the game that kind of gets him back

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 8>into the makes and show what he can actually do.

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.200
<v Speaker 8>But we know he has the talent to do the job.

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 3>What happened last year when Van der USh went out

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 3>to him, what happened to Clark.

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Is play suffered that think, Yeah, he.

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 3>Needs somebody other people around him. He needs people.

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 7>Helping Malon absolutely a million.

0:10:56.280 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's and and again, I love the kid, I

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 3>really do. But you know, if there if you're if

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.400
<v Speaker 3>they're not sure about you and your assignments and stuff

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.840
<v Speaker 3>and being where you need to be, which said us

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.280
<v Speaker 3>a bunch when Mike first took the gig. They're not

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 3>gonna play you. They're just not. He has to have

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.839
<v Speaker 3>trust in what you're doing in your assignments in order

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 3>to make that work.

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.320
<v Speaker 2>One other thing of note, and we didn't bring this

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.959
<v Speaker 2>up yesterday, but I had it in my notes. Detroit

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.320
<v Speaker 2>is a team that uses a lot of twelve personnel.

0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:27.679
<v Speaker 2>They are right now fourth in the league. And the

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 2>amount of times they use twelve personnel's one running back,

0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 2>two tight ends at twenty eight percent of the time,

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 2>almost twenty nine percent of the time they're in twelve personnel.

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 2>That's a pretty big clip. That being said, you would

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:39.600
<v Speaker 2>expect Dallas is probably going to match that with their

0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:41.600
<v Speaker 2>base defense. I think they're going to put a nickel

0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.079
<v Speaker 2>out there against a twelve offense, especially for a team

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 2>that likes to run a lot. That being said, they're

0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:49.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna need three linebackers at least a lot in that game,

0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 2>I would think. And so that's where this becomes a

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:52.920
<v Speaker 2>little very interesting thing.

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.000
<v Speaker 3>You're about to play a team that runs more base

0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:59.160
<v Speaker 3>defense than you do, which is and this team will play,

0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:03.080
<v Speaker 3>this line's will play bass against eleven personal and twelve personnel.

0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 2>They have interesting and.

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 3>They do it because they trust they trust Brian Branch

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.440
<v Speaker 3>their safety. He was also like a corner like he

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 3>could play like you know they have. They have four

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.040
<v Speaker 3>legitimate guys that can cover. It's much like what you're

0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 3>about to experience with you know, we'll say with with

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.559
<v Speaker 3>Carson and out with Bland and his health and all that.

0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.000
<v Speaker 3>But they can afford to play bass because they got

0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 3>four legitimate cover guys, you know, and they can match you.

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 3>And and we'll get into Brian Branch because I have

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 3>a feeling that's where this thing is going to go.

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.560
<v Speaker 3>To try and take lamb Away out of this game,

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.960
<v Speaker 3>but also try and take Ferguson out of this game too,

0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:38.680
<v Speaker 3>with Brian Branch being that guy.

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.600
<v Speaker 2>All right, we're gonna take our first break. We'll come back.

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 2>We're going to dive into that Detroit offense.

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 3>We'll be defense.

0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, Detroit offense. Sorry Detroit offense today, right, it's

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 2>defense defense. Yes, I loo' good.

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:52.679
<v Speaker 7>You're good.

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Detroit Defense.

0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.800
<v Speaker 3>Ready either way.

0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.520

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.320
<v Speaker 2>come back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot com Radio.

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 10>Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 10>cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.080
<v Speaker 10>online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 10>faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 10>But the good news is Todd has AT and T

0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.920

0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 10>learned the best thing to do is stop running and

<v Speaker 2>can turn that microphone off now.

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.200
<v Speaker 3>I was wondering if the same for you for your

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 3>opinion on the corn dog.

0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she has a horrible opinion on that. She says

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Texas State Fair food is not impressive.

0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 8>It's not that impressive. It is not saying it.

0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:24.120
<v Speaker 2>That is a horrible tap.

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.200
<v Speaker 8>People over hype it. I don't think it's that great.

0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:30.840
<v Speaker 3>I wonder is Craig Leaper's brother still the president of

0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:32.640
<v Speaker 3>the state I think.

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.160
<v Speaker 2>I saw that. I want TV talking about it.

0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:39.800
<v Speaker 3>This talking about Yeah, that would be teammate on teammate.

0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 8>Crime, Chrispy all that fried foods, Chrispy and.

0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:49.479
<v Speaker 3>Teammates. Is the president of the State Fair and you're

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.640
<v Speaker 3>trashing the great State Fair is.

0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:56.200
<v Speaker 8>A big statement. I just said it's over hyped.

0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.200
<v Speaker 2>And it's not. It's not Fletcher scorn dogs. I'll put

0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:00.120
<v Speaker 2>them up there with any.

0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:01.880
<v Speaker 3>Well worth it. Yeah, we worth it.

0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:02.840
<v Speaker 8>We'll keep enjoying it.

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Then we will.

0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:04.040
<v Speaker 3>We will.

0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:05.080
<v Speaker 2>I'll be out there next week.

0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:07.280
<v Speaker 8>Do all your money on that.

0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:11.119
<v Speaker 2>I will. I absolutely will. Five I will. It'll be great,

0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.200
<v Speaker 2>it will be fun. All right, let's jump back in, Brian.

0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about this Detroit defense. So the first thing

0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.879
<v Speaker 2>I noticed was they are twenty seventh in pass defense.

0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:23.439
<v Speaker 2>As much as we talk about all the things they

0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:25.520
<v Speaker 2>do really well, they have given up a lot of

0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:29.159
<v Speaker 2>yards in the air. Where are they most vulnerable in

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:30.600
<v Speaker 2>their secondary Well.

0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.359
<v Speaker 3>If you block Aiden Hutchinson, they don't have a pass rush.

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:35.920
<v Speaker 3>That's really where they're at there the bottom of the

0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:38.280
<v Speaker 3>league when it comes to pressures. Without him, he's one

0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.480
<v Speaker 3>of the best players in the league when it comes

0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.920
<v Speaker 3>to pressures. And you watch the game and you watch

0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:46.000
<v Speaker 3>how it progresses in these teams, you know they they

0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:50.560
<v Speaker 3>give him a lot of attention. Is a he's a

0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:54.280
<v Speaker 3>chip and a chip and now block the tackle on him. Guy,

0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:56.720
<v Speaker 3>he's that good of a player. But if you find

0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.399
<v Speaker 3>a way to control him in that part of the

0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.400
<v Speaker 3>game and he'll move around, he will move around. So

0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.040
<v Speaker 3>he will he will take a rush on, he'll take

0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:06.040
<v Speaker 3>a rush on Steele, and then he'll go on the

0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:08.080
<v Speaker 3>other side and take a rush on Guiton. So there's

0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:10.560
<v Speaker 3>really no rule, rhyme or reason why. They just kind

0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.240
<v Speaker 3>of hunt some matchups. But you got to be aware

0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:17.160
<v Speaker 3>of him. Where's number ninety seven And they don't really

0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.280
<v Speaker 3>have anybody else. I mean, they they've they've they've struggled,

0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:22.800
<v Speaker 3>They've struggled to get a pass rush. They you know,

0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.240
<v Speaker 3>they tried to do that through free agency. It you know,

0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:28.560
<v Speaker 3>they lost a couple of guys be due to injury.

0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.920
<v Speaker 3>Derek Barnes got hurt in the in the Arizona game

0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 3>and he was a he was a good pass rusher

0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.280
<v Speaker 3>for him. Marcus Davenport is a guy they signed as

0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.720
<v Speaker 3>a free agent. He was going to play opposite he's

0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:44.159
<v Speaker 3>on IR So they really don't have anybody opposite of

0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:46.520
<v Speaker 3>Hutchson to be able to do that. So this is where,

0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:48.679
<v Speaker 3>all of a sudden, you you have a little bit

0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:52.280
<v Speaker 3>of an advantage. Don't let one guy kill your passing game,

0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:55.199
<v Speaker 3>because he can kill your passing game if you let

0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:55.880
<v Speaker 3>him to.

0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:58.960
<v Speaker 2>That point real quick. Yeah, Hutchinson, last year I had

0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:02.760
<v Speaker 2>four pressures in two sacks. Yeah, twenty six snaps versus Steel.

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.879
<v Speaker 2>That ain't a good clip for Steel. No, is there

0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:08.720
<v Speaker 2>anything that you've seen as far as Steel, And I

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:10.960
<v Speaker 2>think we all agree that Steele has a season war

0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.760
<v Speaker 2>on Last year he got better and this year I

0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:16.720
<v Speaker 2>think he's better than what he was last year. Do

0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:18.560
<v Speaker 2>you think that there are parts of his game that

0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:20.560
<v Speaker 2>have improved to the point where some of that can

0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:22.200
<v Speaker 2>be cleared up, or do you think this is still

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:23.160
<v Speaker 2>going to be a challenge for.

0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:27.760
<v Speaker 3>Them good luck? Yeah, yeah, good luck. It's good, but

0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:32.360
<v Speaker 3>it's true. Yeah, because there's there's moments and I think

0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:35.320
<v Speaker 3>both tackles, yeah, or that way. I think there's moments,

0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:37.240
<v Speaker 3>maybe on the left side a little bit more of

0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:39.560
<v Speaker 3>a hold on to your rear kind of a thing.

0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:43.400
<v Speaker 3>But you know, with with Steel, there could be five, six,

0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:45.920
<v Speaker 3>seven great plays in a row, and then the one

0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:51.240
<v Speaker 3>time that he gets off balance, he maybe kicks too wide,

0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:52.959
<v Speaker 3>think he's going to have an edge rusher, and then

0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:56.520
<v Speaker 3>the rusher goes down inside. You know, you just got

0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:58.240
<v Speaker 3>to be He's got to be aware of that. He's

0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:01.080
<v Speaker 3>also got to know that when you watch the lines play,

0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:05.879
<v Speaker 3>Hutchinson will rush inside if they have a blitzer that's outside.

0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:09.640
<v Speaker 3>So if there's somebody standing outside of him, he's got

0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:11.600
<v Speaker 3>to kind of be aware that maybe this guy is

0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 3>going to rush inside on me, because you're not gonna

0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:17.240
<v Speaker 3>have two guys rush the same gap. You're going to

0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:20.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, and and Hutchinson plays you thought that Watt

0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:23.800
<v Speaker 3>played wide last week. You'll see how why this guy plays,

0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:27.200
<v Speaker 3>he gets way out there, so he's going to challenge

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:30.960
<v Speaker 3>you to be able to handle him playing from that

0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:36.040
<v Speaker 3>wide technique. But Stele, Yeah, it's it's you just know

0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:39.880
<v Speaker 3>that every game there's going to be one or two

0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:42.200
<v Speaker 3>snaps where it could probably end up in a sack

0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:46.480
<v Speaker 3>or he's going to give up a pressure and it's

0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:49.600
<v Speaker 3>but it's the nature of playing against guys like that.

0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 3>You know, you're dealing with somebody that's an outstanding pass rush,

0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:55.480
<v Speaker 3>one of the best young pass rushers in the league.

0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:57.680
<v Speaker 3>So you got to help these guys a little bit.

0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:00.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, maybe this is a game where kind of

0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 3>sneak around a little hunter lipkey, you know, kind of

0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:06.919
<v Speaker 3>you know, motion across boom, pick him up, line up

0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:10.800
<v Speaker 3>over their help, you know, everywhere. If I knew going

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:12.920
<v Speaker 3>into this game, which I know watching the tape, and

0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure these guys across the hall know ninety seven

0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:18.480
<v Speaker 3>is the one is going to kill your game. Everybody

0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:21.160
<v Speaker 3>else we could we can handle everybody else. We can

0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:23.639
<v Speaker 3>handle here. So make sure you take care of that

0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:24.200
<v Speaker 3>guy first.

0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:26.919
<v Speaker 2>Let's assume they get that done. Yeah, where are the

0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:29.840
<v Speaker 2>points of the secondary where they can have best success.

0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:32.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'll tell you what. You know, there's they've got

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:35.600
<v Speaker 3>a rookie corner playing right now. That's everybody's kind of

0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:40.520
<v Speaker 3>on Interry and Arnold that people are kind of down on. Actually, yes, yeah,

0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:43.320
<v Speaker 3>he's a really Dallas. They've traded up to Dallas's spot

0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:45.439
<v Speaker 3>to draft him. He was on a lot of boards.

0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:47.479
<v Speaker 3>I know on my board he was the first corner

0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:49.880
<v Speaker 3>from that I had the number one corner. He fell

0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:51.880
<v Speaker 3>all the way down into the twenties.

0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:52.760
<v Speaker 7>Why had him too?

0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:56.040
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, yeah, why do I have no idea?

0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:58.159
<v Speaker 7>I think that. I think that was a nature of

0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:01.440
<v Speaker 7>everybody drafting an offensive guy. The first round was so weird.

0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:03.639
<v Speaker 2>It's just one of those things where Welling just going in.

0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:05.879
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it was ability. I don't think it

0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:08.120
<v Speaker 3>was ability at all. I mean, it was a deep

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:10.639
<v Speaker 3>draft for corners, and maybe some guys had some guys

0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:13.800
<v Speaker 3>higher than him. I sure didn't. This kid's a really

0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 3>good football player. But where people have taken advantage? Now,

0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:19.600
<v Speaker 3>last year when you played this team, they were completely

0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:22.960
<v Speaker 3>different at corner. They had a guy named Cameron Sudden

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:26.200
<v Speaker 3>that played corner and you lit him up. Yep, he

0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:29.520
<v Speaker 3>had no chance. Every target at him was a big play,

0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:32.920
<v Speaker 3>and they realized that we can't play that way, so

0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:35.520
<v Speaker 3>went and traded for Carlton Davis from Tampa. We're familiar

0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:38.040
<v Speaker 3>with Carlton Davis. He's played against the Cowboys before in

0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:41.879
<v Speaker 3>games in Tampa. Kind of had some mixed bag doing that,

0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:45.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, that kind of the coverage at Tampa. But

0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:48.560
<v Speaker 3>they drafted Arnold, they traded for Davis. It's a completely

0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:52.320
<v Speaker 3>different group now in the secondary and line. I mentioned

0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:56.399
<v Speaker 3>that's kind of where I would go. Carlton Davis if

0:22:56.440 --> 0:22:58.520
<v Speaker 3>you look at the balls that are thrown at him,

0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:01.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, if you look at him, now, this group

0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:03.879
<v Speaker 3>is good with their tight window throws. I mean, I

0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:06.359
<v Speaker 3>was like, man, they're they're close, They're close, They're close.

0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:09.000
<v Speaker 3>You kind of check that number. They're like fifth, sixth

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:11.000
<v Speaker 3>in the league when it comes to tight window throws.

0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:13.960
<v Speaker 3>That shouldn't bother Dak. He's like, he gets more tight

0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:16.720
<v Speaker 3>window throws than any other quarterback in the league. You know,

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:20.399
<v Speaker 3>his guys that they just they're tight window guys. So

0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:25.200
<v Speaker 3>where I would go though, is teams quarterbacks have had

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:27.600
<v Speaker 3>some success throwing the ball at Davis, even on some

0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:31.000
<v Speaker 3>tight window stuff. The rookie, you know, is giving up

0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:33.520
<v Speaker 3>some plays. I think the rookie Arnold has there's some

0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:37.159
<v Speaker 3>separation at times with his games. But both corners have

0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:39.159
<v Speaker 3>kind of get picked on a little bit more. And

0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:42.240
<v Speaker 3>I think Carlton Davis gets picked on the most of

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:46.280
<v Speaker 3>the two, and he's the veteran guy. The safety are there.

0:23:46.440 --> 0:23:50.400
<v Speaker 3>Nicol Robinson is another player that was added. They got

0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:53.560
<v Speaker 3>him from the Raiders. He's a tight window guy, but

0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:56.840
<v Speaker 3>he'll lose some separation and contact occasionally with you guys.

0:23:57.400 --> 0:24:00.760
<v Speaker 3>I mentioned Brian Branch, he's the safety. He was a

0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:04.440
<v Speaker 3>corner safety at Alabama. He's a I don't think he

0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 3>gets nearly enough credit for how good of a football

0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:09.480
<v Speaker 3>player he is. And he could cover you in the slot.

0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:12.960
<v Speaker 3>He can and cover you well. He could cover a

0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 3>tight end no problem. So I wonder how they're going

0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:20.720
<v Speaker 3>to play against Lamb in this game, and if they

0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:24.000
<v Speaker 3>find a way to kind of double, if they double

0:24:24.280 --> 0:24:26.919
<v Speaker 3>with like Joseph the safety, and then one of these

0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:31.600
<v Speaker 3>corners and then take Branch and put him on Ferguson

0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:35.320
<v Speaker 3>and then say, Okay, Tolbert and everybody else, you gotta

0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:38.119
<v Speaker 3>beat us today. But they've they if they don't get

0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:40.359
<v Speaker 3>any pass rush and as I mentioned, they play a

0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:43.119
<v Speaker 3>lot of bass that I mean they play primarily. You know,

0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:46.560
<v Speaker 3>they're well over fifty percent base of there the way

0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:49.560
<v Speaker 3>they play. So and Dak Prescott, I look this up

0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:52.560
<v Speaker 3>because I'm like, okay, here's the number. Fifty percent base.

0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:57.280
<v Speaker 3>That's the highest of anybody in the league. Dak sixty

0:24:57.359 --> 0:25:01.920
<v Speaker 3>percent win rate against base defense hasn't been sacked this year,

0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:04.920
<v Speaker 3>and the numbers like can say that league average I

0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:08.439
<v Speaker 3>think is forty eight percent of success. DA's at sixty.

0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:11.520
<v Speaker 3>These guys play base against him. That's a good matchup

0:25:11.560 --> 0:25:12.360
<v Speaker 3>for Dak Prescott.

0:25:12.440 --> 0:25:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely.

0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:13.200
<v Speaker 12>Yeah.

0:25:13.440 --> 0:25:15.639
<v Speaker 7>Looking at this defensive line. If I could also highlight

0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:17.480
<v Speaker 7>one other guy that I think could be a problem

0:25:17.760 --> 0:25:19.480
<v Speaker 7>if they move this guy up and down the line,

0:25:19.600 --> 0:25:21.600
<v Speaker 7>a piano player. If we came back to draft show

0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:24.440
<v Speaker 7>Aileen McNeil, he's a guy that rotates in. You won't

0:25:24.440 --> 0:25:26.760
<v Speaker 7>see him start the game necessarily of a bully. Yeah,

0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:28.840
<v Speaker 7>you might see him start the game with a couple

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:31.320
<v Speaker 7>of these injuries that they have up front. But I

0:25:31.440 --> 0:25:33.639
<v Speaker 7>think he's gonna be a guy you definitely see rotate in.

0:25:33.960 --> 0:25:36.640
<v Speaker 7>You'll see him inside, you'll see him outside. They will

0:25:36.680 --> 0:25:38.760
<v Speaker 7>move him up and down and he gets out for

0:25:38.760 --> 0:25:41.080
<v Speaker 7>the quarterback too. Eight pressures so far in three games,

0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:43.960
<v Speaker 7>three hundred and fifteen pounds. He's a guy that is

0:25:44.040 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 7>big in the middle and he can make some things happen.

0:25:46.119 --> 0:25:48.119
<v Speaker 7>And then also in the run game, they do have

0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:50.359
<v Speaker 7>Derek Barnes on the ir which will help as far

0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:52.440
<v Speaker 7>as the Cowboys trying to get into that second level.

0:25:52.640 --> 0:25:55.440
<v Speaker 7>But don't discount Malcolm Rodriguez out of Oklahoma State. That's

0:25:55.440 --> 0:25:58.280
<v Speaker 7>still a really powerful guy. Also came in that same

0:25:58.400 --> 0:26:01.600
<v Speaker 7>draft class as Aiden hutch and so in factor in

0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:03.560
<v Speaker 7>Hudginson's ability to defend the run, it's gonna be tough

0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:05.560
<v Speaker 7>for this run game still. And I think Brian Branch

0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:08.480
<v Speaker 7>when you factor in safeties that can play the run games,

0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:12.040
<v Speaker 7>he's top five in the league in mind so well

0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:13.520
<v Speaker 7>in coverage, he does well on the run.

0:26:13.600 --> 0:26:15.879
<v Speaker 3>I think they're linebacker To me, throwing the ball against

0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:18.040
<v Speaker 3>these guys is the best chance because again I think

0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:20.440
<v Speaker 3>the pressure you got to find a way. We mentioned

0:26:20.480 --> 0:26:25.480
<v Speaker 3>about Hutchinson, the corners, the possibility these linebackers a Zeloney

0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:28.360
<v Speaker 3>and Campbell are they played real tight to the line

0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 3>of scrimmage, so I mean they're physical upfront, They're going

0:26:31.640 --> 0:26:34.600
<v Speaker 3>to try and beat you up. But these these linebackers

0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:37.320
<v Speaker 3>do a really good job of filling, getting off blocks,

0:26:37.480 --> 0:26:40.600
<v Speaker 3>making tackles. You'll see occasionally every once in a while

0:26:40.720 --> 0:26:43.640
<v Speaker 3>Campbell will miss the tackle. But man, it's just such

0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:48.320
<v Speaker 3>a physical front seven that you're dealing with. But I running,

0:26:48.320 --> 0:26:50.119
<v Speaker 3>I think is going to be difficult. I thought running

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:52.840
<v Speaker 3>was gonna be difficult against the Steelers. They came out

0:26:52.840 --> 0:26:54.760
<v Speaker 3>and did a pretty damn good job against them, you know,

0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:57.760
<v Speaker 3>last week doing that. So uh but man, I think

0:26:57.840 --> 0:27:00.359
<v Speaker 3>the path the victory in this thing, if you had to,

0:27:01.320 --> 0:27:03.640
<v Speaker 3>is throwing the football because I'm just like I say,

0:27:03.880 --> 0:27:07.800
<v Speaker 3>block the front and and let these let the Cowboys

0:27:07.920 --> 0:27:11.000
<v Speaker 3>uh receivers work against the secondary a little bit.

0:27:11.119 --> 0:27:12.359
<v Speaker 2>One of the things that stood out to me is

0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:14.800
<v Speaker 2>I was looking at this team they are right now.

0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Obviously we know they were a good run defense, but

0:27:17.080 --> 0:27:19.000
<v Speaker 2>in their last game before the buye they played when

0:27:19.000 --> 0:27:20.840
<v Speaker 2>they played Seattle, Seattle hit him for one hundred and

0:27:20.840 --> 0:27:23.440
<v Speaker 2>thirty three rushouts. What did Seattle do in that game?

0:27:23.560 --> 0:27:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Was there anything specific that they did?

0:27:25.080 --> 0:27:26.280
<v Speaker 3>They were on the edge, they were on the edge.

0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:28.959
<v Speaker 2>Is that something? Did they do things that the Cowboys

0:27:29.200 --> 0:27:32.639
<v Speaker 2>have shown any sort of propensity to be able to replicate.

0:27:32.320 --> 0:27:35.680
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's a lot of the inside hand off, the

0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 3>read option stuff. It was, it was snap, it was

0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:41.720
<v Speaker 3>orbit motion, it was spin, turn in hand, it was

0:27:42.240 --> 0:27:45.160
<v Speaker 3>it wasn't like your traditional lineup, but they they took

0:27:45.240 --> 0:27:47.960
<v Speaker 3>the ball and tried to create ways, whether it was

0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:51.360
<v Speaker 3>toss or whether it was motion, and then come back

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:54.680
<v Speaker 3>and then toss it. But they they knew that going

0:27:54.720 --> 0:27:58.240
<v Speaker 3>out on the edge was their best chance of running this.

0:27:58.320 --> 0:27:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Football and they were successful.

0:27:59.680 --> 0:28:00.639
<v Speaker 3>They were successful doing it.

0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Yeah, so I guess that that could create some

0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:04.240
<v Speaker 2>sort of opportunity for the Cowboys.

0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:06.280
<v Speaker 3>These guys are big. When you talk about Reader and

0:28:06.440 --> 0:28:10.200
<v Speaker 3>McNeil inside, they've got big body guys. That's the thing

0:28:10.280 --> 0:28:12.399
<v Speaker 3>that you have to kind of worry about. And we

0:28:12.480 --> 0:28:13.800
<v Speaker 3>saw it a little bit with the you know, with

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:16.399
<v Speaker 3>the Steelers, I felt like mashing the edges was going

0:28:16.480 --> 0:28:18.679
<v Speaker 3>to be you know, some of the success you had,

0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:20.719
<v Speaker 3>but you did a pretty good job of handling inside

0:28:20.760 --> 0:28:21.720
<v Speaker 3>of the Steelers guys.

0:28:22.240 --> 0:28:22.359
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

0:28:22.560 --> 0:28:25.080
<v Speaker 3>But same challenge again this week. I think I think

0:28:25.200 --> 0:28:28.280
<v Speaker 3>the the linebackers here though, present a little bit of

0:28:28.320 --> 0:28:30.560
<v Speaker 3>a different problem for for you. Running the ball.

0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:32.600
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, right, I want to attack the edge that Aiden

0:28:32.640 --> 0:28:33.520
<v Speaker 7>Hudgerson is not on.

0:28:33.880 --> 0:28:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's an equally good run defender as pass.

0:28:37.840 --> 0:28:40.040
<v Speaker 7>Defender Josh Pascal. You want to be able to attack him.

0:28:40.160 --> 0:28:42.080
<v Speaker 7>I think he's easily the worst run defender on that line.

0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:43.680
<v Speaker 7>Not that he's a bad run defender, but I just

0:28:43.720 --> 0:28:46.040
<v Speaker 7>wouldn't call him. I wouldn't call him Mavericke. So somewhere

0:28:46.080 --> 0:28:47.360
<v Speaker 7>below that, below that range.

0:28:47.600 --> 0:28:48.920
<v Speaker 2>One other thing I was going to ask you on

0:28:49.120 --> 0:28:52.440
<v Speaker 2>on the how Cowboys, how the Cowboys should attack them

0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:54.960
<v Speaker 2>knowing that Aiden Hudginson is there and he can create

0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:57.320
<v Speaker 2>that pressure. Would you say this is a game where

0:28:57.360 --> 0:29:00.000
<v Speaker 2>you would lean more heavily on maybe spring them out

0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:02.480
<v Speaker 2>and just quick passes, get the ball out really quick.

0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Or would you do would you would you opt for

0:29:05.160 --> 0:29:07.840
<v Speaker 2>more max protect where you keep more guys in with

0:29:07.960 --> 0:29:09.640
<v Speaker 2>the opportunity to give Dak a little more of an

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:11.200
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to get downfield, maybe make.

0:29:11.160 --> 0:29:12.920
<v Speaker 3>Some big play. Worry about the quick game because of

0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:15.800
<v Speaker 3>how much press coverage they play. Now they're gonna play

0:29:15.840 --> 0:29:18.360
<v Speaker 3>man coverage, right they They went from being a team

0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:21.840
<v Speaker 3>that played a lot of zone last year because those

0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:24.239
<v Speaker 3>corners were not good, right, So they had to They

0:29:24.280 --> 0:29:28.200
<v Speaker 3>have a lot more confidence in Davis and then Arnold

0:29:28.360 --> 0:29:30.680
<v Speaker 3>and then and then Branch and their ability to cover.

0:29:31.040 --> 0:29:32.719
<v Speaker 3>They have a lot more. So they're playing a lot

0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:35.320
<v Speaker 3>more man coverage. If they're up on you, I don't

0:29:35.400 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 3>know how much quick passing game you're gonna get off.

0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:40.160
<v Speaker 3>You know, if there was a team that played like

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:42.520
<v Speaker 3>last week, the Steelers played a ton of zone coverage

0:29:42.560 --> 0:29:45.240
<v Speaker 3>against you. If you're getting guys playing off, that's to

0:29:45.320 --> 0:29:47.960
<v Speaker 3>me with a quick passing game. They took advantage of,

0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:50.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, the space because those screens and stuff that

0:29:50.600 --> 0:29:53.320
<v Speaker 3>they threw because the corners were backed off there. So

0:29:54.000 --> 0:29:56.760
<v Speaker 3>I would I would tend to lean towards Max protecting

0:29:56.800 --> 0:29:58.080
<v Speaker 3>this thing and try to throw the ball.

0:29:58.560 --> 0:29:59.920
<v Speaker 7>I think there could be a little bit of succes

0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:01.560
<v Speaker 7>us in the quick game, just because I think back

0:30:01.600 --> 0:30:04.560
<v Speaker 7>to last year against the Lions. Again, there's a couple

0:30:04.560 --> 0:30:06.560
<v Speaker 7>of different faces in the secondary, but it's still the

0:30:06.640 --> 0:30:08.200
<v Speaker 7>same bread and butter at the end of the day.

0:30:08.600 --> 0:30:11.720
<v Speaker 7>And you see CD getting thirteen receptions for two hundred

0:30:11.720 --> 0:30:14.240
<v Speaker 7>and twenty seven yards, and that was more of a

0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:16.600
<v Speaker 7>product of the quick game. And so I think if

0:30:16.600 --> 0:30:19.080
<v Speaker 7>they can line him up in situations where he can

0:30:19.160 --> 0:30:21.239
<v Speaker 7>kind of get some freedom, which that's a little bit

0:30:21.280 --> 0:30:23.680
<v Speaker 7>different this year, especially in motion, that that would be

0:30:23.800 --> 0:30:24.880
<v Speaker 7>a little bit different this year.

0:30:24.960 --> 0:30:27.480
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, we'll believe that when we see it.

0:30:27.560 --> 0:30:27.640
<v Speaker 6>Right.

0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:29.240
<v Speaker 7>All in all, I think you got to be able

0:30:29.280 --> 0:30:31.960
<v Speaker 7>to find ways to scheme ced Lamb open on one

0:30:32.000 --> 0:30:34.320
<v Speaker 7>on one coverage because we look at these second half stats,

0:30:34.400 --> 0:30:37.040
<v Speaker 7>four receptions for twenty five yards in the entire second

0:30:37.040 --> 0:30:39.560
<v Speaker 7>halves of games this season for ced Lamb. They got

0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:41.160
<v Speaker 7>to be able to get him open. They got to

0:30:41.160 --> 0:30:43.160
<v Speaker 7>be able to identify some some matchups that they can

0:30:43.840 --> 0:30:45.680
<v Speaker 7>key him in on, whether that be one on one

0:30:45.720 --> 0:30:47.520
<v Speaker 7>with Terry and Arnold or shoot one on one with

0:30:47.560 --> 0:30:49.840
<v Speaker 7>Brian Branch. Just put him one on one with somebody

0:30:50.360 --> 0:30:51.840
<v Speaker 7>and let him go make a play. That's why you

0:30:51.880 --> 0:30:52.640
<v Speaker 7>pay him the money you do.

0:30:52.840 --> 0:30:56.520
<v Speaker 3>If I told you that his read his targets, and

0:30:56.640 --> 0:30:59.360
<v Speaker 3>I looked this up because I was curious, If I

0:30:59.520 --> 0:31:02.960
<v Speaker 3>told you his targets in off coverage is half of

0:31:03.040 --> 0:31:05.720
<v Speaker 3>what it was last year, would you believe me?

0:31:06.920 --> 0:31:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Shocking to me?

0:31:08.080 --> 0:31:10.760
<v Speaker 7>I would believe you just from the fact that it is.

0:31:10.920 --> 0:31:15.800
<v Speaker 3>This season, he's had eleven targets in off coverage six catches.

0:31:17.080 --> 0:31:20.560
<v Speaker 3>That's half of what he had. His his targets against

0:31:20.680 --> 0:31:23.560
<v Speaker 3>man are the same as they were last year. Trending

0:31:23.720 --> 0:31:24.080
<v Speaker 3>that way.

0:31:24.200 --> 0:31:25.560
<v Speaker 7>Are we talking about this point last year?

0:31:25.680 --> 0:31:29.680
<v Speaker 3>Yes, okay, trending up, trending up for the targets against

0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:34.440
<v Speaker 3>man off coverage, half the targets against Tell me why you.

0:31:34.480 --> 0:31:36.760
<v Speaker 7>Think that's a product Are you saying number wise or

0:31:36.760 --> 0:31:37.440
<v Speaker 7>percentage wise?

0:31:37.880 --> 0:31:38.120
<v Speaker 3>Both?

0:31:38.360 --> 0:31:40.400
<v Speaker 7>Okay? You think that's a product more of just more

0:31:40.480 --> 0:31:42.880
<v Speaker 7>man defenses these first few weeks, or.

0:31:43.120 --> 0:31:46.360
<v Speaker 3>It's the same. It's it's it's it's funny because to me,

0:31:46.680 --> 0:31:50.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to figure out to me, getting him the

0:31:50.160 --> 0:31:52.800
<v Speaker 3>ball on the move in off coverage and letting him

0:31:52.880 --> 0:31:56.520
<v Speaker 3>run after catch would be that would be my goal. Yeah,

0:31:56.800 --> 0:31:59.760
<v Speaker 3>And the fact that they've got half of the targets

0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:02.360
<v Speaker 3>at this point time he had twenty two targets I

0:32:02.480 --> 0:32:05.640
<v Speaker 3>believe twenty two or twenty three targets against off coverage

0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:07.840
<v Speaker 3>at this point and now we're still the point whe

0:32:07.840 --> 0:32:11.280
<v Speaker 3>the offense hasn't done the everybody losing their mind bit,

0:32:11.640 --> 0:32:15.240
<v Speaker 3>you know. But then we get after the San Francisco game.

0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:17.880
<v Speaker 3>But the fact that he does it, that they're not

0:32:18.080 --> 0:32:21.200
<v Speaker 3>throwing him the ball more and off coverage. I have

0:32:21.360 --> 0:32:22.200
<v Speaker 3>no idea why.

0:32:22.520 --> 0:32:25.160
<v Speaker 8>Well, you know the other day when you asked, you

0:32:25.280 --> 0:32:28.200
<v Speaker 8>weren't here, Nick, but when you were asking questions, it

0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:31.600
<v Speaker 8>was on Tuesday and you asked Derrek and I should

0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:36.960
<v Speaker 8>we shoot fans be worried about Ceedee Lamb? And he

0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:39.880
<v Speaker 8>led me to thinking, because of how you answer that

0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:44.480
<v Speaker 8>Derek world, defenses are paying more attention to him, and

0:32:44.880 --> 0:32:48.160
<v Speaker 8>now that creates more opportunities for everybody else on the offense.

0:32:48.760 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 8>And he led me to think, I'm like, okay, then

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:54.280
<v Speaker 8>what was the difference then last year during that second

0:32:54.320 --> 0:32:56.760
<v Speaker 8>half of last year, because he was the one still

0:32:57.040 --> 0:32:59.640
<v Speaker 8>catching balls all the time, and you can't tell me

0:32:59.800 --> 0:33:02.080
<v Speaker 8>that defenses weren't trying to take him out of the

0:33:02.160 --> 0:33:05.480
<v Speaker 8>game either, So what's the difference this year versus?

0:33:05.680 --> 0:33:09.400
<v Speaker 3>I think I'm trying to figure out why the off

0:33:09.520 --> 0:33:12.440
<v Speaker 3>coverage numbers are down. To me, that's the best time

0:33:12.480 --> 0:33:15.160
<v Speaker 3>to throw the ball to CD Lamb. Let him get

0:33:15.200 --> 0:33:18.400
<v Speaker 3>the ball with some separation and then magic, you know

0:33:18.600 --> 0:33:19.200
<v Speaker 3>that kind of thing.

0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:21.560
<v Speaker 7>I think there was more respect for the other receivers involved,

0:33:21.560 --> 0:33:23.640
<v Speaker 7>because Brandon Cooks really start to heat up along the

0:33:23.680 --> 0:33:25.120
<v Speaker 7>second half of the season two, and I think that

0:33:25.240 --> 0:33:27.440
<v Speaker 7>opened up a lot of opportunities for CD. I don't

0:33:27.440 --> 0:33:30.440
<v Speaker 7>necessarily have a question for your or answer for your question, Brian,

0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:34.640
<v Speaker 7>I don't know's that's because whenever he does get a

0:33:34.680 --> 0:33:36.840
<v Speaker 7>ball and off coverage, whether it be like a quick hitch, Yeah,

0:33:36.960 --> 0:33:38.640
<v Speaker 7>I love the ability of him to be able to

0:33:38.720 --> 0:33:40.240
<v Speaker 7>catch the ball and then just kind of wiggle and

0:33:40.280 --> 0:33:41.960
<v Speaker 7>be able to kind of like look around his shoulders

0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:42.880
<v Speaker 7>and be able to spin.

0:33:43.080 --> 0:33:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Fine.

0:33:43.560 --> 0:33:45.520
<v Speaker 7>Oh it's a half the number move.

0:33:45.400 --> 0:33:47.880
<v Speaker 2>For that doesn't mean and so just to be clear

0:33:47.960 --> 0:33:50.520
<v Speaker 2>on that, Brian, are you saying that the same number

0:33:50.560 --> 0:33:54.880
<v Speaker 2>of opportunities of at with off coverage are this year

0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:57.320
<v Speaker 2>as last year. Yeah, they just have half the number

0:33:57.320 --> 0:33:58.800
<v Speaker 2>of tries when they've taken advantage of it.

0:33:58.920 --> 0:34:02.320
<v Speaker 3>They have if I cause I was I'm trying, I'm

0:34:02.360 --> 0:34:05.120
<v Speaker 3>working on mysteries without any clues. I'm at Bob Singer

0:34:05.200 --> 0:34:07.360
<v Speaker 3>song right now, Yeah, and I'm trying to kind of

0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:09.759
<v Speaker 3>figure out. Let me if we go to if you

0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:11.680
<v Speaker 3>go to break, I'll go to break. I'll come back

<v Speaker 10>Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

0:36:25.760 --> 0:36:28.680
<v Speaker 10>Cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought

0:36:28.719 --> 0:36:31.600
<v Speaker 10>online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

0:36:31.680 --> 0:36:34.319
<v Speaker 10>faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

0:36:34.960 --> 0:36:36.640

0:36:39.600 --> 0:36:41.680

<v Speaker 2>WBC Mortgage Studios at Star. Let's continue our conversation real quick.

0:37:21.719 --> 0:37:25.360
<v Speaker 2>This segment's brought to you by blockchain dot Com. All right, Brian,

0:37:25.760 --> 0:37:27.440
<v Speaker 2>you were you were telling us before you break God

0:37:27.480 --> 0:37:29.279
<v Speaker 2>and clarify. You've looked up some information I did.

0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:31.520
<v Speaker 3>This is where I pulled this from. Okay, and this

0:37:31.719 --> 0:37:34.360
<v Speaker 3>is because it's it was relating to Lamb and I

0:37:34.480 --> 0:37:37.120
<v Speaker 3>was curious and then I saw this note because it

0:37:37.239 --> 0:37:39.719
<v Speaker 3>had to do with the Lions, and the Lions of

0:37:39.760 --> 0:37:43.040
<v Speaker 3>a line. They're outside cornerbacks and press coverage about thirty

0:37:43.080 --> 0:37:45.520
<v Speaker 3>four percent of their snaps this season. That's the fifth

0:37:45.680 --> 0:37:49.240
<v Speaker 3>highest in the NFL. So they're gonna play press corner.

0:37:49.320 --> 0:37:53.200
<v Speaker 3>That's kind of their back the matchup ceedee. Lamb has

0:37:53.239 --> 0:37:56.799
<v Speaker 3>stayed effective against press coverage this season, recording a near

0:37:57.000 --> 0:38:01.160
<v Speaker 3>identical target rate twenty seven percent and yards per route

0:38:01.239 --> 0:38:04.360
<v Speaker 3>two point eight to last year, so that's very similar

0:38:04.440 --> 0:38:08.279
<v Speaker 3>against the press coverage. Lamb's drop off in performance has

0:38:08.400 --> 0:38:12.319
<v Speaker 3>mainly come against off coverage, where he has just caught

0:38:12.680 --> 0:38:17.320
<v Speaker 3>six of eleven targets for fifty eight yards. His target

0:38:17.440 --> 0:38:21.320
<v Speaker 3>rate has been cut in half against off coverage this season.

0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:27.160
<v Speaker 3>That's fourteen percent compared to last season's thirty percent. So

0:38:27.719 --> 0:38:28.640
<v Speaker 3>that's where we're at with that.

0:38:29.040 --> 0:38:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, it sounds like it's not as much of a

0:38:30.520 --> 0:38:32.160
<v Speaker 2>problem this week because it they play a lot of

0:38:32.320 --> 0:38:34.360
<v Speaker 2>press coverage cover that's what he's doing well against.

0:38:34.920 --> 0:38:37.160
<v Speaker 3>But you wonder, how why are they are they are

0:38:37.200 --> 0:38:40.720
<v Speaker 3>they facing off coverage and in the in the second

0:38:40.800 --> 0:38:45.759
<v Speaker 3>half of games fair and he's not getting the opportunity

0:38:45.840 --> 0:38:47.759
<v Speaker 3>in the off coverage that the Daks throwing the ball

0:38:47.840 --> 0:38:50.200
<v Speaker 3>to other guys in off coverage that he feels like

0:38:50.360 --> 0:38:51.520
<v Speaker 3>might be a little bit more open.

0:38:52.520 --> 0:38:56.959
<v Speaker 7>Again, I wonder if this is just me theorizing out loud,

0:38:57.360 --> 0:38:59.879
<v Speaker 7>most of his action last season was in the quick game.

0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:01.920
<v Speaker 7>I think this is just kind of a guestimation, but

0:39:01.960 --> 0:39:04.560
<v Speaker 7>I would say probably sixty percent of his completions last

0:39:04.600 --> 0:39:07.960
<v Speaker 7>year wor quick game. It was slants, hitches, quick curls.

0:39:08.000 --> 0:39:10.040
<v Speaker 7>I mean, it was quick outs. I mean he was

0:39:10.120 --> 0:39:12.960
<v Speaker 7>getting the ball quick. So I wonder if if defenses

0:39:13.000 --> 0:39:15.279
<v Speaker 7>have identified that looked at it and be like, Okay,

0:39:15.400 --> 0:39:17.200
<v Speaker 7>if we play more off coverage and that gives us

0:39:17.239 --> 0:39:19.359
<v Speaker 7>a little bit more leverage to be able to play

0:39:19.480 --> 0:39:22.040
<v Speaker 7>in front or keep Cede Lamb in front of us

0:39:22.280 --> 0:39:24.280
<v Speaker 7>if he were to run those quick game type routes,

0:39:24.680 --> 0:39:26.680
<v Speaker 7>and then you know, if Dak Prescott sees that, then

0:39:26.719 --> 0:39:30.120
<v Speaker 7>he's probably looking elsewhere. So that's just me theorizing out loud, though.

0:39:30.400 --> 0:39:33.040
<v Speaker 7>But I do wonder why the target share is cut

0:39:33.080 --> 0:39:35.000
<v Speaker 7>in half compared to last year because that same problem

0:39:35.040 --> 0:39:37.520
<v Speaker 7>would have still existed last year. So I don't know

0:39:37.680 --> 0:39:38.240
<v Speaker 7>that's interesting.

0:39:38.320 --> 0:39:41.319
<v Speaker 2>That is a baffling stat but you know, I mean,

0:39:41.719 --> 0:39:44.040
<v Speaker 2>I think at the end of the day, I still

0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:46.200
<v Speaker 2>think that part of what we're seeing at the early

0:39:46.320 --> 0:39:48.839
<v Speaker 2>part of this year isn't it, you know, not really

0:39:48.840 --> 0:39:53.800
<v Speaker 2>an adapt and adaptation because I think Dak and CD

0:39:53.920 --> 0:39:55.680
<v Speaker 2>are on. I think they're on the same page. They've

0:39:55.719 --> 0:39:58.480
<v Speaker 2>played enough together. I do think timing, though, is a

0:39:58.560 --> 0:40:00.439
<v Speaker 2>part of it. When you don't go to train in camp,

0:40:00.719 --> 0:40:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I think timing can be a part of the issue,

0:40:03.760 --> 0:40:05.840
<v Speaker 2>and so I do give a little bit of difference

0:40:05.920 --> 0:40:07.759
<v Speaker 2>to that. I don't know if it would make that

0:40:07.880 --> 0:40:09.560
<v Speaker 2>big of a difference where you know, you're cut in

0:40:09.640 --> 0:40:12.360
<v Speaker 2>half the number of opportunities you're getting in an off coverage,

0:40:12.440 --> 0:40:13.680
<v Speaker 2>but I do think that's a part of it.

0:40:13.800 --> 0:40:17.040
<v Speaker 8>At what point do we stop referencing training camp.

0:40:17.280 --> 0:40:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, and I'm not saying that it shouldn't be corrected.

0:40:19.760 --> 0:40:23.279
<v Speaker 2>At this point, it should be correct. My point is,

0:40:23.360 --> 0:40:25.800
<v Speaker 2>though the numbers in the first five weeks could have

0:40:25.880 --> 0:40:30.040
<v Speaker 2>been affected by more so even week one, week two,

0:40:30.040 --> 0:40:32.360
<v Speaker 2>week three, and by now it may not be as effective.

0:40:32.400 --> 0:40:34.960
<v Speaker 2>But we're looking at numbers over the entire first five games,

0:40:35.239 --> 0:40:37.200
<v Speaker 2>which means it could be skewed a little bit because

0:40:37.200 --> 0:40:39.440
<v Speaker 2>early on they were having some of those challenges. My

0:40:39.560 --> 0:40:41.440
<v Speaker 2>question would be on a week to week basis, what

0:40:41.520 --> 0:40:44.120
<v Speaker 2>does that look like? And every week has it gotten better?

0:40:44.320 --> 0:40:47.000
<v Speaker 2>My expectations it should if that's the problem, If the

0:40:47.040 --> 0:40:50.719
<v Speaker 2>problem is really about timing, it should get better every week, right, it.

0:40:50.760 --> 0:40:54.799
<v Speaker 8>Should, especially with two veteran guys, two professionals, two guys

0:40:54.880 --> 0:40:56.880
<v Speaker 8>that have been I mean, you look out how they

0:40:56.920 --> 0:40:59.280
<v Speaker 8>were last year during that second half of the season,

0:40:59.640 --> 0:41:01.640
<v Speaker 8>and you would expect it to be a lot better.

0:41:01.719 --> 0:41:04.879
<v Speaker 8>So it's just it's it's interesting in the and yet

0:41:04.920 --> 0:41:06.719
<v Speaker 8>I agree, we all I think we all agree at

0:41:06.719 --> 0:41:11.160
<v Speaker 8>this point that him missing training camp has affected his game. Uh,

0:41:11.440 --> 0:41:15.680
<v Speaker 8>But at the same time, it's like we're week seeks it.

0:41:18.440 --> 0:41:24.400
<v Speaker 7>We are we are, I think even more so, not

0:41:24.600 --> 0:41:27.160
<v Speaker 7>only I think if we are attributing some of this

0:41:27.239 --> 0:41:29.480
<v Speaker 7>to CID not being a training camp, I think there's

0:41:29.560 --> 0:41:31.919
<v Speaker 7>also a little bit of attribution that I think needs

0:41:31.960 --> 0:41:34.440
<v Speaker 7>to go towards the offense not playing in the preseason,

0:41:34.520 --> 0:41:36.520
<v Speaker 7>because we saw this last year where they had a

0:41:36.560 --> 0:41:39.960
<v Speaker 7>slow start and you saw rhythm and things that weren't

0:41:40.000 --> 0:41:42.600
<v Speaker 7>quite developed, and then they didn't integrate motion. They didn't

0:41:42.600 --> 0:41:44.960
<v Speaker 7>integrate a lot of things until after the buye. I

0:41:45.080 --> 0:41:47.560
<v Speaker 7>was like, okay, then was before the buy your preseason?

0:41:47.600 --> 0:41:49.759
<v Speaker 7>Then if only you had three games to work those

0:41:49.800 --> 0:41:50.160
<v Speaker 7>things out.

0:41:50.200 --> 0:41:52.240
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I mean, honestly, you across the league

0:41:52.280 --> 0:41:55.840
<v Speaker 2>we saw first couple of weeks scoring was down, offenses

0:41:55.880 --> 0:41:57.920
<v Speaker 2>weren't going. I really think that's a function of across

0:41:57.960 --> 0:42:00.800
<v Speaker 2>the league teams not playing their starters or in the preseason.

0:42:00.840 --> 0:42:03.680
<v Speaker 2>I think, what's happening now and if they moved eighteen

0:42:03.680 --> 0:42:05.799
<v Speaker 2>games I think will happen even more is the first

0:42:05.840 --> 0:42:08.440
<v Speaker 2>few weeks of the NFL season really is a preseason,

0:42:08.480 --> 0:42:10.160
<v Speaker 2>and so you're going to be kind of just struggling

0:42:10.200 --> 0:42:12.160
<v Speaker 2>to make it work those first few weeks, and then

0:42:12.200 --> 0:42:13.960
<v Speaker 2>you start getting on your role and then you start

0:42:14.000 --> 0:42:15.120
<v Speaker 2>really figuring out what works for you.

0:42:15.200 --> 0:42:16.560
<v Speaker 7>Look at the two teams out are five and zero,

0:42:16.600 --> 0:42:18.480
<v Speaker 7>and see how much their starters played in the preseason.

0:42:18.719 --> 0:42:20.960
<v Speaker 2>That's all I guess were the teams They played a lot, not.

0:42:21.040 --> 0:42:24.040
<v Speaker 7>A lot, but they played you know, like Mahomes played quarters. Yeah,

0:42:24.280 --> 0:42:27.719
<v Speaker 7>he played quarters at a time. Yeah, Donald, those guys

0:42:27.760 --> 0:42:28.839
<v Speaker 7>they played quarters at a time.

0:42:28.960 --> 0:42:31.080
<v Speaker 3>So there was a time where I would have fought

0:42:31.160 --> 0:42:36.000
<v Speaker 3>you on this. Now you're I can't fight you anymore.

0:42:36.080 --> 0:42:36.279
<v Speaker 14>Yeah.

0:42:36.280 --> 0:42:37.360
<v Speaker 7>I mean there's a lot of.

0:42:37.360 --> 0:42:39.600
<v Speaker 3>People out there listening right now and like say something

0:42:39.600 --> 0:42:42.280
<v Speaker 3>broad us. You're the one that always says that the games,

0:42:42.480 --> 0:42:45.239
<v Speaker 3>the practices against the Rams were and I do think

0:42:45.280 --> 0:42:48.640
<v Speaker 3>they were beneficial for you because you can control and

0:42:48.800 --> 0:42:51.920
<v Speaker 3>Dak got you know, basically two hundred snaps against a

0:42:52.080 --> 0:42:55.040
<v Speaker 3>first team defense and he didn't get hit in any

0:42:55.080 --> 0:42:55.720
<v Speaker 3>of those times.

0:42:57.440 --> 0:43:01.600
<v Speaker 8>But also a lot of questionable no there no question.

0:43:01.680 --> 0:43:04.080
<v Speaker 7>Now you're like, huh, no question, We're not, you know.

0:43:04.160 --> 0:43:07.000
<v Speaker 3>And there's a side of me that you know, the

0:43:07.200 --> 0:43:11.719
<v Speaker 3>scaredy player personnel guy. That's me. I'm the scary player

0:43:11.760 --> 0:43:13.920
<v Speaker 3>personnel guy, and I don't want anybody to get hurt

0:43:14.040 --> 0:43:14.239
<v Speaker 3>and I.

0:43:14.239 --> 0:43:16.200
<v Speaker 7>Think whenever Tyron Smith had that injury a couple of

0:43:16.239 --> 0:43:18.160
<v Speaker 7>years ago, even though it wasn't in a preseason game.

0:43:18.280 --> 0:43:20.800
<v Speaker 7>But you also called back to Romo having his preseason injury,

0:43:20.840 --> 0:43:23.160
<v Speaker 7>went back when I wonder how much of that is

0:43:23.200 --> 0:43:25.960
<v Speaker 7>just kind of PTSD from preseason injuries. Yeah, I do

0:43:26.080 --> 0:43:28.400
<v Speaker 7>think about that. You mentioned Dak not getting hit, but

0:43:28.440 --> 0:43:30.880
<v Speaker 7>a Ram Stafford did, so, Yeah, there was still physicality.

0:43:31.040 --> 0:43:32.080
<v Speaker 3>It was physicality involved.

0:43:32.560 --> 0:43:33.400
<v Speaker 2>You had to bring that up.

0:43:34.480 --> 0:43:35.759
<v Speaker 7>It was the first thing that it was a crazy

0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:40.040
<v Speaker 7>when it happened, it was hilarious, well not hilarious. Fine,

0:43:40.160 --> 0:43:41.480
<v Speaker 7>he was fine, So it was funny.

0:43:42.320 --> 0:43:43.800
<v Speaker 2>All right, real quick, before we end the show, I

0:43:43.840 --> 0:43:45.959
<v Speaker 2>did want to get an update on what you guys

0:43:46.000 --> 0:43:48.520
<v Speaker 2>saw from Cooper BB in this last game. We hadn't

0:43:48.719 --> 0:43:51.920
<v Speaker 2>talked much about him, but how has his progression worked out?

0:43:51.920 --> 0:43:53.839
<v Speaker 2>I know we talk a lot about Guiden. How much

0:43:53.880 --> 0:43:56.200
<v Speaker 2>has BB progressed now over the first five games of

0:43:56.239 --> 0:43:56.600
<v Speaker 2>the season.

0:43:57.120 --> 0:43:59.600
<v Speaker 7>Well, I will there's a quote from Mike McCarthy directly

0:43:59.640 --> 0:44:01.960
<v Speaker 7>from the pre conference going on. I think right now

0:44:02.560 --> 0:44:04.680
<v Speaker 7>he had said that Cooper BB through the first five

0:44:04.719 --> 0:44:06.640
<v Speaker 7>games quote has done a heck of a job and

0:44:06.719 --> 0:44:09.719
<v Speaker 7>he is quote two and seventy two percent better at

0:44:09.760 --> 0:44:11.640
<v Speaker 7>snapping since the start of training camps.

0:44:11.440 --> 0:44:13.600
<v Speaker 2>Twenty Yeah, I would have said seventy three.

0:44:13.800 --> 0:44:16.399
<v Speaker 7>He's a big analytics guy. He's got a huge analytics team.

0:44:16.480 --> 0:44:17.880
<v Speaker 2>So they put that number, and they do have a

0:44:17.920 --> 0:44:18.239
<v Speaker 2>lot of them.

0:44:18.320 --> 0:44:20.160
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I'll tell you what, how do you get to

0:44:20.320 --> 0:44:22.960
<v Speaker 7>that number? How analytics?

0:44:24.200 --> 0:44:27.800
<v Speaker 3>I feel like they you're right that the calls it

0:44:28.000 --> 0:44:30.040
<v Speaker 3>just doesn't seem to be you know, the snapping part

0:44:30.040 --> 0:44:31.680
<v Speaker 3>of it. We were kind of worried about the calls

0:44:31.719 --> 0:44:35.240
<v Speaker 3>appear fine. You haven't seen any major busts or anything. Inside,

0:44:35.440 --> 0:44:37.719
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's where they've had problems. It seems like

0:44:37.800 --> 0:44:41.320
<v Speaker 3>it's been more on the edges than inside. So you

0:44:41.440 --> 0:44:42.799
<v Speaker 3>got you got to give a tip of the cap

0:44:42.840 --> 0:44:46.319
<v Speaker 3>to him. The one thing he's got to do. He's

0:44:46.400 --> 0:44:48.799
<v Speaker 3>got to learn this. It's like he has got too

0:44:49.520 --> 0:44:53.319
<v Speaker 3>pro Bowl guys playing next to him. Shove that guy,

0:44:53.480 --> 0:44:56.560
<v Speaker 3>Shove him and go. You can you can help this

0:44:56.719 --> 0:45:02.120
<v Speaker 3>running game being up there blocking Angeloni or blocking one

0:45:02.200 --> 0:45:04.520
<v Speaker 3>of their you know, blocking one of their guys. Yeah,

0:45:04.600 --> 0:45:08.000
<v Speaker 3>you're helping get the play going. But we need that

0:45:08.120 --> 0:45:10.880
<v Speaker 3>guy blocked. If we get that guy blocked. Instead of

0:45:10.920 --> 0:45:13.680
<v Speaker 3>a six yard run, it might be a twelve yard run.

0:45:14.120 --> 0:45:15.680
<v Speaker 3>You know, he's got to do a better job of

0:45:15.880 --> 0:45:19.160
<v Speaker 3>like he's thinking so much of got to secure this guy.

0:45:19.280 --> 0:45:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Gotta secure this guy instead of shoving with power. You

0:45:23.080 --> 0:45:24.920
<v Speaker 3>got pro bowl guards that can handle him one on

0:45:25.080 --> 0:45:28.080
<v Speaker 3>one and go get on the second level and when

0:45:28.120 --> 0:45:30.600
<v Speaker 3>that ball cuts right behind you, it's going to be

0:45:30.640 --> 0:45:33.239
<v Speaker 3>a pretty play that we sow on sounds to the

0:45:33.360 --> 0:45:36.640
<v Speaker 3>sidelines now, Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Yeah, make sure, you know,

0:45:36.760 --> 0:45:38.680
<v Speaker 3>make sure you get up on that second level. You

0:45:38.760 --> 0:45:39.360
<v Speaker 3>get those blocks.

0:45:39.440 --> 0:45:41.279
<v Speaker 7>One thing that I think will help Cooper bb in

0:45:41.320 --> 0:45:44.280
<v Speaker 7>these next few weeks as Zach Martin's finally hitting his stride.

0:45:44.400 --> 0:45:46.000
<v Speaker 7>I think he had a slow start to the season

0:45:46.040 --> 0:45:48.600
<v Speaker 7>from my perspective, but that game against the Steelers and

0:45:48.680 --> 0:45:50.719
<v Speaker 7>probably the second half against the Giants, I really like

0:45:50.800 --> 0:45:52.560
<v Speaker 7>the work that he's put together over the last six

0:45:52.640 --> 0:45:53.120
<v Speaker 7>quarters or so.

0:45:53.320 --> 0:45:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was a stark reminder, Brian, as you were

0:45:55.160 --> 0:45:58.080
<v Speaker 2>talking about Detroit and how they do that. They don't

0:45:58.760 --> 0:46:01.839
<v Speaker 2>waste time, they and they're off to the second level,

0:46:02.080 --> 0:46:04.080
<v Speaker 2>and it made me think, like that's exactly what I

0:46:04.160 --> 0:46:06.440
<v Speaker 2>want Bab to study and figure out because if he

0:46:06.520 --> 0:46:08.080
<v Speaker 2>gets that part of his game down, I think it's

0:46:08.120 --> 0:46:09.600
<v Speaker 2>going to add a lot to this offense.

0:46:09.680 --> 0:46:11.640
<v Speaker 3>He's just I went through and just look at the

0:46:11.719 --> 0:46:14.840
<v Speaker 3>metrics real quick, and in two hundred and seven pass snaps,

0:46:15.520 --> 0:46:18.360
<v Speaker 3>he's only giving up nine pressures. Yeah, and three of

0:46:18.400 --> 0:46:19.879
<v Speaker 3>those pressures have been one on one.

0:46:20.040 --> 0:46:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Right now, he's second among all rookie offensive linemen and

0:46:23.080 --> 0:46:25.720
<v Speaker 2>the pressure is allowed, Yeah, which tells you something across

0:46:25.719 --> 0:46:28.319
<v Speaker 2>the entire league. That's a pretty impressive stat. So he's

0:46:28.400 --> 0:46:30.000
<v Speaker 2>I think he's doing some good things. Like you said,

0:46:30.040 --> 0:46:31.680
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a matter of how do you go

0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:34.680
<v Speaker 2>from being pretty good to now being a real real

0:46:34.840 --> 0:46:36.919
<v Speaker 2>asset to this offense and this offensive line.

0:46:37.040 --> 0:46:39.560
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I appreciate if I could injury news just from

0:46:39.600 --> 0:46:41.560
<v Speaker 7>the press conference. I'll go through it really quick. Deron

0:46:41.600 --> 0:46:44.359
<v Speaker 7>Bland came out of yesterday's practice quote good. Today will

0:46:44.360 --> 0:46:46.360
<v Speaker 7>be a real test for him, according to Mike McCarthy.

0:46:46.800 --> 0:46:49.080
<v Speaker 7>McCarthy also said Eric Kendricks will be limited today with

0:46:49.160 --> 0:46:51.960
<v Speaker 7>his shoulder and calf issue, so that's that's really good,

0:46:51.960 --> 0:46:53.880
<v Speaker 7>but he will start with the rehab group. Kayln Carson

0:46:53.880 --> 0:46:55.839
<v Speaker 7>will be back with the rehab group today after being

0:46:55.840 --> 0:46:58.160
<v Speaker 7>a full participant yesterday, so something to keep an eye

0:46:58.160 --> 0:46:58.799
<v Speaker 7>on moving forward.

0:46:58.920 --> 0:47:00.360
<v Speaker 3>I Ain good. That's that.

0:47:00.480 --> 0:47:02.359
<v Speaker 2>Seems like a little going backwards for him, but going

0:47:02.440 --> 0:47:04.120
<v Speaker 2>forward for the other two. So we'll see where that

0:47:04.200 --> 0:47:08.440
<v Speaker 2>all lands out. Yeah, all right till tomorrow. Tomorrow will

0:47:08.440 --> 0:47:14.320
<v Speaker 2>wrap this whole thing up. Amber Yetty games tomorrow until

0:47:14.360 --> 0:47:17.359
<v Speaker 2>then for Nick Harris, Ryan Brost and Amber Garcia. I'm

0:47:17.400 --> 0:47:19.160
