00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 3: Are you ready for a break?

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 4: Yes?

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 5: Are you ready for a break?

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 4: Absolutely?

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 3: Ready for a break?

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, And so much for that.

10
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 7: It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.

11
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 5: We were on with Ambar Garcia.

12
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 7: Brian brought us, Patrick Walker and Derek Eagleton.

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 2: Hello, guys, welcome to another episode of The Break. I

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: am hosting today, but I have Brian and Patrick here

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,639
Speaker 2: with me. Derek is busy with important meetings. Uh, we'll

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: see what comes out of that. But in the meantime,

17
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: we'll hold like he did yesterday, we'll hold down the

18
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: four with us here. I wanted to start off the

19
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: show by talking about some of the roster moves that

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 2: have happened, nothing creating big splashes of big news. But

21
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: the Cowboys did release they cut tackle Alex Taylor Prilorillo

22
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: and then linebacker Michael Jones on Monday, and then they

23
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: did sign four players into the practice squad. So Patrick,

24
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: I'll let you take a handle of those players who

25
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: they are. If there's much to say there as far

26
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: as like what they're adding to the team.

27
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 4: Not a lot of digging in to these guys is

28
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 4: available right now. But we have Eric Salbert tight end.

29
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 4: He was signed to the practice squad, as was Adam

30
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 4: Pankey a guard, Buddy Johnson linebacker, and Chris Glazer or

31
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 4: Glacier a guard. So two offensive linemen joined the Cowboys

32
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 4: practice squad for insurance purposes, which is just you know,

33
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 4: smart to do. So Michael Jones is being replaced by

34
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 4: Buddy Johnson and Brian and I were talking about this

35
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 4: before we went hot. Interest in the length of time

36
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 4: that Michael Jones was here, I mean as far as

37
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 4: it being shortened. The Cowboys obviously got him in, didn't

38
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 4: necessarily like what they saw from him in practices. He

39
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 4: never got an elevation, and he was here for all

40
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 4: of two three weeks, three calendar weeks if you're talking

41
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 4: about two games and the bye week. So Michael Jones

42
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 4: came in and never really had a shot. They did

43
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 4: go out and get Rashaan Evans obviously signed him to

44
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 4: the practice squad for a first round pick. No stranger

45
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 4: to the big stage, you know, Alabama product. So yeah,

46
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 4: Cowboys added a tight end, which also makes me wonder

47
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 4: and I'll get some more information on this after the show.

48
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 4: Talk to some folks where Peyton Hindershot is with that

49
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 4: ankle injury. That makes me wonder where Peyton Hendershot is.

50
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 4: And Brian's probably thinking the same thing as well, you're

51
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 4: going to add a tight end is does that mean

52
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 4: Hendershot is going to be out a longer period of

53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 4: time than maybe anticipated? So something to keep an eye

54
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 4: on there.

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've had some struggles some of their point of

56
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: attack blocking and and maybe Salbert is a guy he

57
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 3: went to a tiny school. He went to Drake, you know,

58
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: and nothing against Drake or tiny schools or anything like that,

59
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 3: but he's one of those guys that's kind of bounced

60
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 3: around the league. And so when you get a guy

61
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 3: like that, it's you know, the development is he is

62
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: he is? He a guy that's developing, you know. And

63
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: there's some clips I've seen to him. I haven't done

64
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: a full on report, but there's some people out there

65
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: that have and you could kind of see some clips

66
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 3: of him as a blocker. Seems like something that's a

67
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: little bit of a strength of his. Uh, you know,

68
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: he's he's one of those guys too, has career you know,

69
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: in college you caught like one hundred and eighty three passes,

70
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: so he's capable of doing those types of things. But

71
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: to Patrick's point, you know, you wonder if you know,

72
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: with the health of hindershot or you know, you need

73
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: guys to practice, you need those bodies to practice and stuff.

74
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: But they also might be looking at their situation with

75
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: blocking it when you go back and as you study

76
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: the all twenty two from the Chargers game, they tried

77
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: really hard in that game to use their tight ends

78
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: at the point of attack. They tried to use their

79
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 3: tight ends on the back side of some polls to

80
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 3: get to the point of attack bringing in you know,

81
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: they pull a guard or pull a tackle, and they

82
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 3: were getting compressed and they were getting beat and they

83
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 3: were you know, it was a really rough game when

84
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 3: it came to running the football. And you wonder if

85
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 3: now it's like, do we need to go out and

86
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 3: see if we can work out some guys to try

87
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: and see if we can get some better blocking at

88
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 3: the point of attack. And maybe Celbart is a guy

89
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: that they kind of look at that well, let's give

90
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 3: him a shot and let's see. I mean, you can

91
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: it's hard to do during during these practices to see

92
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 3: how a guy's gonna be. So it's gonna have to

93
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: be Okay, what are the pro guys seen from him?

94
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: Maybe there's some stops at along the way in the

95
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: training camps where they can see that, well, this guy

96
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: seems like a pretty good blocker. But that's saying a

97
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: lot right now. They just they're just not as consistent

98
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 3: as they need to be running the football, and somebody

99
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 3: has to do with what's going on at the point

100
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 3: of attack with their blocking.

101
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 4: And with the linebacker. What's interesting about Buddy Johnson is

102
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 4: this is a homecoming for him. He's only twenty four

103
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 4: years old, but he's already a bit of an NFL journeyman.

104
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 4: Only two tackles in his NFL NFL career, but he's

105
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 4: Dallas born and bred, went to Kimball High School and

106
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 4: Texas A and m pruct.

107
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 5: So he's coming back home.

108
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 4: So this is obviously someone that the scouting department has

109
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 4: some information on, you know, from when he entered the

110
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 4: NFL draft, so you know, insurance there because you needed

111
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 4: at linebacker, and they're just ready to see what Buddy

112
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 4: Johnson can do over what they saw or didn't see

113
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 4: from Michael Joe.

114
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good point. You know, he was a

115
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 3: guy that was if you look at he was a

116
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 3: fourth round pick in in twenty twenty one, and he's,

117
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 3: like Patrick said, he's made a lot of stops. The

118
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: teams he's been with, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Houston, teams that

119
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 3: plays some pretty good defense and stuff. So somebody saw

120
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 3: something in him as a player. At six one and

121
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 3: a half, he's two hundred and forty pounds, so he's

122
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: got the size that maybe that they're looking for right

123
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: now when it comes to, you know, that point of

124
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 3: attack again, thumper guy that can step up, play the

125
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 3: run and deal with that a little bit more size

126
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: because the issues that they're running into. We've talked about

127
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 3: this a bunch. When they play those nickel packages and

128
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 3: stuff and they bring those safeties down, it's, you know,

129
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 3: it's guys like Bell and Wilson, those guys, they're tough guys,

130
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 3: they're just not big, you know, and teams that they're gonna,

131
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: you know, they're gonna say, okay, when you get in

132
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 3: that nickel, we're gonna run the ball at those guys.

133
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 3: So just getting some linebackers with some size and some

134
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 3: thump and some point of attack played to him might

135
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: be something that is on their mind right now.

136
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: Well with Sober and Johnson, are you guys thinking based

137
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: on what you guys are saying, is a real pussibility

138
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: of them seeing the field at some point in the

139
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 2: near future or is it more just specifically you just

140
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: need bodies.

141
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 4: I think I think right now to answer that question,

142
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 4: you need bodies because if you look at and Brian

143
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 4: makes an excellent point as far as Soburn and how

144
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: he could maybe factor into the blomunication, but you're gonna

145
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 4: need to get Schoolmaker more involved as well. Yeah, and

146
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 4: then when you look at it from a linebacker perspective,

147
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 4: you got to get Rashn Evans on the field. You

148
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 4: got to get Malik Jefferson continued to ramp up with

149
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 4: the mont Clark. But you also don't want to take

150
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 4: away any unnecessary reps from a guy like Marquise Bell

151
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 4: who is playing at a high level. So if your

152
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 4: buddy Johnson, your mission is to get in here and

153
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 4: not suffer the same fate that Michael Jones suffered.

154
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's that's it right there, And you know,

155
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: I applaud them. There's so many times where teams just

156
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: sit there in the practice squad and they just it's

157
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 3: the same guys. You know, you're looking at the same

158
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 3: bodies every day and and you're thinking, well, this guy's

159
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: not getting any better. I know it's hard to when

160
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: they don't. They have some padded practices, but it's not

161
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: like they're going out there and really just taking a

162
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: run at each other. You can see the movement, you

163
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 3: can see how they step up, you can see how

164
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 3: they go through the drills. But I give the front

165
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 3: office some credit for this one, because to me, it's

166
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 3: you just kind of keep rotating that you don't know

167
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 3: if you're going to hit a guy like that. You

168
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: don't know if Buddy Johnson all of a sudden like

169
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 3: in this scheme. You know, it didn't work in Pittsburgh,

170
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 3: it didn't work in San Francisco, but maybe it works here.

171
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: Maybe something clicks for him and then now you got

172
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 3: a linebacker halfway through. But a lot of times these

173
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 3: teams will just sit there with the same practice squad

174
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 3: the whole year and not do anything, and you're not

175
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 3: getting any better out of that. I'd still love for

176
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: him to make a trade somehow someway. We've talked about

177
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: that a bunch around here, but at least they're trying

178
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: to churn that practice squad and maybe find a guy

179
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: that can fit what they're trying to do offensively and defensively.

180
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: Now, you never know where there is some hidden secret

181
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: talent there, But okay, for now, let's put that aside,

182
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: see what happens with that. As far as injuries, Cowboy's

183
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: coming off the bye week, where are they currently with

184
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: the whole injury.

185
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 4: List, Well, they're in good standing right now, you know, IR.

186
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 4: Notwithstanding obviously they lost Leyton Vanderush and CJ. Goodwin to

187
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 4: IR prior to the bye week. But both of those

188
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 4: players are, you know, working toward trying to return at

189
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 4: some point this season. So there's some optimism there. But

190
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 4: when you look at the laundry list of ailments that

191
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 4: they were kind of dealing with going into the Los

192
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 4: Angeles Charges game, it sounds as if most, if not all,

193
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 4: of those are near one hundred percent. So Mike McCarthy

194
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 4: said today that je Ya Tomas, for example, he suffered

195
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 4: a hamstring injury that popped up ahead of that game.

196
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 5: He was routed out of that game. He's going to be.

197
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 4: A full participant today in practice on Wednesday, as will

198
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 4: every other player on the active roster. And I know

199
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 4: that botes very well for the Cowboys offensive line. When

200
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 4: you talk about Tyler biadis nursing an ankle, Tyron Smith

201
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 4: with his knee, Zach Martin with a thigh. If all

202
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 4: three of those guys are also full participants, that's just

203
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 4: magnificent news because this is going to be game three

204
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 4: of that combination being together, and that we keep talking about,

205
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 4: the more reps they get together, the more to pay

206
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 4: dividends for them. So, yeah, expect the Cowboys to trend

207
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 4: upwards as far as health. So the bye week, although

208
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 4: it was a week earlier than it normally is, it

209
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 4: couldn't have been at a better time for the Cowboys.

210
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now we throw around the word hope that Ryan

211
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 2: likes to throw around here. So there's one thing what

212
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: we hope for, and there's another thing, like, realistically speaking,

213
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: what are some of the main or biggest changing changes

214
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: sorry that you guys are expecting the Cowboys to make

215
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: or have made during the bye week heading into this weekend.

216
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: And we'll get into the rams offense on the second segment.

217
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: But for right now, realistically speaking, what are some of

218
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: those changes?

219
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 3: What are you thinking, Ryan, Well, you know, to me,

220
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: it's they've got to figure out some things in the

221
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 3: running game. And you couldn't practice all week because of

222
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 3: collective bargaining and players have to have the entire week off,

223
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 3: so there's really nothing you could do. It was all

224
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 3: really scheme related. But they've got to figure out a

225
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: way to be more effective running the football, and they

226
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 3: have to figure out a way to get Tony Pollard.

227
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: They're getting him involved, but they're not getting him or

228
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 3: creating any space. I mentioned the tight end blocking. They've

229
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 3: tried to do it a couple of different ways with

230
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 3: the zone schemes. They're just not very clean at the

231
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 3: point of attack with the combo blocks, getting second level linebackers.

232
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 3: They played some good linebackers this year that have been

233
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: able to run. But they've got to figure out in

234
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 3: this off week, is there a better way to run

235
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 3: the ball against the chargers. It was more about trying

236
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 3: to pull guys, and we've talked to pin and pulls

237
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: a word we use down blocks guys coming around. They

238
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 3: just really weren't very effective at all? I mean, how

239
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 3: are you not getting movement? Two of the best that

240
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 3: we've seen in the past have been what Zach Martin

241
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 3: playing on one leg right now but hopefully better and

242
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 3: him and Steel they've been able to get that right side,

243
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 3: get that thing secure where they do get some push

244
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: and then the tight end is able to get a

245
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 3: little shield block and then they can run the ball.

246
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 3: But they haven't really had enough space. To me, I'd

247
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: like to see if during that bye week, when the

248
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 3: coaches had an opportunity to sit down and self scout,

249
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: are we doing everything we need to run the ball effectively.

250
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 3: They're going to have to be able to do it

251
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 3: in the second half much better than what they've shown

252
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 3: here in the first half of the season. And that's

253
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 3: something that I think might be might look a little different, like, Okay,

254
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 3: is it the way we're running it, is it the sets?

255
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: Is it the motions? We need to do it better

256
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 3: out eleven personnel, then we bring tight ends in. Does

257
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 3: that make us compressed? I think these are all things

258
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 3: they had to kick around during the during the bye

259
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 3: week to try and figure out where where.

260
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 4: They are, and I think what bodes will in that

261
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 4: capacity is as announced today by Mike McCarthy, Jeff Blasco

262
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 4: is back at practice. He had a personal leave of

263
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 4: absence due to some health issues. He missed several games

264
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 4: and over the first six, but he returned during the

265
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 4: bye week. He will be back in practice this week

266
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 4: and I'm interested with his return. And for those that

267
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 4: don't know, Jeff Blasco is both the run game coordinator

268
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 4: and the running backs coach. So it goes right to

269
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 4: the heart of Brian's point as far as being interested

270
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 4: to see what this Cowboys run attack, rushing attack looks

271
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 4: like going into week eight and going forward, particularly with

272
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 4: Blascow now back on the field as opposed to his

273
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 4: duties with coordinating the run game being kind of split

274
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 4: between other assistants and position coaches. But for me, it

275
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 4: goes back to I still want to see the deep

276
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 4: middle part of the field exploited. I want to see

277
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 4: those shots being taken a little bit of optimism, and

278
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 4: you go back and look at the Chargers game. They

279
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 4: took one or two shots there and it paid off

280
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 4: for them. So for me, it's bringing that pendulum back

281
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 4: to center and not being fearful of attacking the middle

282
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 4: of the field. Make the opposing defense cover three thirds

283
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 4: of the field as opposed to just the boundaries, because

284
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 4: that's going to stretch those safeties and that's going to

285
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 4: open up plays down the field. More explosiveness. We want

286
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 4: to see explosiveness. We want to see those vertical routes,

287
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 4: those nine routes on the outside. Well, it's going to

288
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 4: be harder if safety is in. Opposing defensive coordinators know

289
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 4: they don't have to worry about the middle chunk of

290
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 4: the field. So exploit that. Take those shots. And yes,

291
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 4: sometimes it's not going to work out for you. Sometimes

292
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 4: that's going to be an interception. But I'm on record

293
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 4: as saying is I would rather as long as it

294
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 4: doesn't cost the Cowboys games. I would rather the Dak

295
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 4: Prescott that throws, you know, for thirty five touchdowns but

296
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 4: has twelve interceptions and the Cowboys are twelve and five,

297
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: thirteen and four versus the Dak Prescott that throws you know,

298
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 4: twenty four touchdowns to eight interceptions, but you're nine and

299
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 4: you know eight and you're in a wild card situation.

300
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, for many games, you can care less about

301
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: an interceptions.

302
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 4: Right, That's what I'm saying. And that's been proving time

303
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 4: and time again. It's been improven around the league. Ite

304
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts is being excused for, you know, almost leading

305
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 4: the league and turnovers interceptions right now. It's because the

306
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 4: Eagles are winning games. So if you win games, the

307
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 4: rest becomes forgivable. Winning cures everything, as the saying go,

308
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 4: So take those shots deep middle and really put pressure

309
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 4: on the opposing defense.

310
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 3: On the defensive side of the ball. I think you

311
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: have to look at we now have a game without

312
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 3: Layton Vanderish playing as a linebacker. So now teams will

313
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 3: have a look at Damon Clark and Bell and other

314
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 3: guys like that. And so I think in the office

315
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 3: and the bye week there, dan Quinn now has they did?

316
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: They did okayly don't know how much that's going to hold.

317
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 3: Up exactly well. The big question, Yeah, the big question

318
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 3: was Clark had played really well against New England and

319
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 3: the other games he hadn't played is to the level

320
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: that I know that I thought I've seen him play

321
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 3: at such a high level at LSU, and I just

322
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 3: kind of expect it. I know he's coming off the

323
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 3: back and all that. The fact that he even played

324
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 3: last year's just beyond me. But you know, I mean,

325
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 3: he did a great job with that. But the thing

326
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: about it is now with him being the primary linebacker

327
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 3: and then others having to fill in, I think that's

328
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 3: something that it's all on tape now with what the

329
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 3: Chargers game was. Will Sean McVay and the Rams, how

330
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 3: will they attack this script? So it's gonna be up

331
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 3: to Dan Quinn to kind of figure out what's the

332
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 3: next move. Am I gonna be able just to sit

333
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 3: in there with Bell and these others just you know,

334
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 3: playing that tech, Bell and Clark and those guys playing

335
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 3: technique or do I have to be a little bit

336
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 3: more creative and keep them from maybe getting exposed until

337
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 3: vander esh gets back.

338
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 4: Wonderful point and what will work in the Cowboys favor

339
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 4: is that while the Rams and other teams they've now

340
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 4: seen what the linebacker coy looks like without Leyton Vanderisch,

341
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 4: they can try to map around that. They haven't seen

342
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 4: what the Cowboys linebacker coy looks like with Rashawn Evans

343
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 4: in it. Right, So there is a chance that Rashawn

344
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 4: Evans makes his debut for the Cowboys against the Rams.

345
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 4: Of course, that is contingent upon how practice goes this week,

346
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 4: But that could be a variable that works in favor

347
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 4: for the Cowboys, is that teams just don't know what

348
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 4: Rashaun Evans looks like with a with dan Quinn cootinating them.

349
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 3: They thought they thought something. It was really it was.

350
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,959
Speaker 3: It was kind of strange to me. They thought something

351
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 3: that they could get a scheme package with that Tyros

352
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 3: Wheat playing, you know, and I and I didn't in

353
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 3: his his his first game was was rough, But I didn't,

354
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 3: you know. It's that's what coaches do. They come up with, Well,

355
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 3: we think we could take advantage of this, we could

356
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 3: use this guy, use that guy. So I wonder if

357
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 3: there's some other move that they're thinking about, because, like

358
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: I said, I didn't really understand while Wheat they bring

359
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 3: him up here, we go sign him, let's go. It's

360
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 3: and now he's part of the plan early in that

361
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 3: football game, and you're like going, was that really what

362
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 3: they wanted or envisioned for that? So coaches are always

363
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 3: coming up with ideas and Dan will be no different

364
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 3: this week.

365
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, let's go ahead and take our

366
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 2: first break when we come back. We're gonna go ahead

367
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 2: and get into the Rams. The breakdown of the Rams

368
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: offense against this Cowboys defense.

369
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 8: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

370
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 8: Cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

371
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 8: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

372
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 8: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

373
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 8: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

374
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 8: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

375
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 8: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

376
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 8: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

377
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 8: T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated.

378
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 6: Five G requires compatible plan and device five G may

Speaker 4: don't don't lose on where's the day?

447
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 5: But yeah, there you go.

448
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 2: All right, let's go ahead and start breaking down this offense, Brian.

449
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 2: We're gonna go through blocks and we're gonna start off

450
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: with the quarterback. And what do they got right now?

451
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Matthew Stafford is there their guy. And you know,

452
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 3: Matthew has dealt with some injuries last year where really

453
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 3: it was a problem for him. They didn't protect him

454
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: very well. He took a lot of shots during the game.

455
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 3: I mean shots, his hits, not actual physical shots with

456
00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 3: syringes or anything like that. But he he dealt with concussion. Yeah,

457
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 3: he dealt well. When you say shots you can talk

458
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 3: about fireball too. Is another thing you could have done,

459
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 3: and Matthew probably would. But you know, with concussions he

460
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 3: dealt with He had the spinal cord contusion last year.

461
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 3: That that that's the one thing that knocked him out.

462
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 3: It happened to him in Week fourteen. So so far,

463
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 3: so good for him. He's only really dealt with one

464
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 3: thing in Week four He's he had a hip injury

465
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 3: that kind of slowed him down a little bit against

466
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 3: the Colts, but he came back in the game and

467
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 3: was able to win the game. He wasn't moving around

468
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 3: too well, but he was able to finish the game

469
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 3: and grab that victory. So, you know, good for him.

470
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 3: He's he's always been a super tough guy. When you

471
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 3: watch him play, he's got a resilient ability to just

472
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 3: kind of keep fighting throughout a game. He moves well

473
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 3: enough in the pocket, but he's not one of these

474
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 3: many these quarterbacks it's going to run away from you.

475
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 3: He'll hold the ball until the very last possible second

476
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 3: before letting it fly. You can watch him, he's like

477
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 3: a baseball pitcher. His his his platform is usually like

478
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 3: he'll throw it sie arm to get it around a guy,

479
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 3: he'll loop it over the top. He's got touch, He's

480
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 3: not afraid to throw the ball. He's one of those

481
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 3: guys though that's always been a good tight window thrower.

482
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 3: But if you look at the metrics they talk about,

483
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 3: he hasn't made as many tight window throws this year,

484
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 3: so he's kind of choosing more of the guys that

485
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 3: have some separation or that are completely wide open. But

486
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 3: he's not afraid because he has the arm talent still

487
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 3: to get the ball anywhere he wants to put that football.

488
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 3: The primary routes that he throws are the in cutting routes.

489
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 3: We worried about that a little bit with with what's

490
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 3: going on with Gilmore where we see those routes where

491
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 3: they'll make Gilmour chase. That's something that the Rams like

492
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 3: to do. They'll get the receivers and then they they'll

493
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 3: run him on these end routes. They like to try

494
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 3: and trail each other. So all of a sudden, you

495
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 3: got a guy that they'll they'll run guys. They'll delay

496
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 3: a guy behind another guy, run the route, and then

497
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 3: run another route behind Matt to try and give you

498
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 3: a little bit more of confused us, right, there, so Stafford,

499
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 3: but it's going to be to get those routes off,

500
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,719
Speaker 3: you got to have protection, and that's kind of been

501
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 3: a little bit of a problem for them. The metrics

502
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 3: will tell you that teams will play more zone coverage

503
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 3: against him than they will man. It's about a seven

504
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: to thirty split against him, and then he gets blitzed

505
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 3: about thirty percent of the time. His pressure rate is

506
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 3: about forty one percent, so you can kind of see

507
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 3: nearly half the time he's throwing the ball with somebody

508
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 3: in his face. Primarily he operates out of what we

509
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 3: call eleven personnel that's one running back, three wide receivers.

510
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 3: This is ninety three percent of the time. So the

511
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 3: Cowboys are going to be in nickel. Really the entire

512
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 3: time in this game is with the Rams being on

513
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 3: the field.

514
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: So how well can he keep his composure? The mental

515
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 2: toughness because you say, with the injury history and all

516
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 2: that and him maybe not running as much or riding

517
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 2: around too. Well, if you get a bunch of pressure

518
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 2: and then you say he throws the ball away, how mental?

519
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 2: How much mental toughness?

520
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 3: No, it's the word I used, and it's terrible English,

521
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 3: but I wrote in terrible English all the time, and

522
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 3: Dave Hellman always corrected it for me. I said, super

523
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 3: impressive toughness, super being like, there's quarterbacks in this league

524
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 3: that are tough. I think Matthew Stafford is on a

525
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 3: whole other level. If you look throughout his career at Detroit,

526
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 3: he took a beating in Detroit, they trade him to

527
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 3: the Rams, he wins a super Bowl there, and then

528
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 3: the team kind of falls apart around him. The offensive line.

529
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 3: We'll get into that. There's this is a big problem

530
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 3: for them. But he's always been able to maintain that toughness.

531
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 3: You see him get hit time after time after time,

532
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 3: and then he's back still throwing the football side arm

533
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 3: under whatever he has to do. That doesn't waver with

534
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 3: the way you watch him play at all.

535
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 4: And when it comes to Matthew Stafford, and of course

536
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 4: I've been watching him since since his college days Georgia

537
00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 4: because that right, so yeah, go don't so to Brian's point,

538
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 4: I mean, when it comes to mental toughness and physical toughness,

539
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford has those in spades, But objectively speaking, he's

540
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 4: also boom or bust when it comes to his style

541
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 4: of play, he's either going to light you up for

542
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 4: four or five touchdowns or he's gonna throw four or

543
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 4: five interceptions of that game trying his best to light

544
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 4: you up for four or five touchdowns.

545
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 5: So the opportunities for.

546
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 4: Takeaways will be there as long as you get the

547
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 4: pressure on Matthew Stafford, and the Cowboys have the highest

548
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 4: pressure rate in the NFL. I would love for this

549
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 4: to be the game where more of those pressures get home.

550
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 4: But the pressures are disruptive, nonetheless, So if you can

551
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 4: get in Matthew Stafford's space, I mean, he's mentally tough.

552
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 4: He's going to stand there and he's gonna make that throw.

553
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 4: But the throw isn't always going to be the smart throw.

554
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 4: So if you can get him early on to make

555
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 4: a mistake, then that'll get him kind of rolling in

556
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 4: the wrong direction. But if he gets on kind of

557
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 4: a hot streak early, you might be in for kind

558
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 4: of a long day there.

559
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 5: Well, especially with guys like Pooking a cool Yeah.

560
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 2: We'll get into that later, but right now, what I'm visualizing,

561
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 2: it looks more positive for the Cowboys and their defensive

562
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 2: line and the pressure. So let's get into those guys

563
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 2: are are around him, protecting him and creating that pocket

564
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 2: for him.

565
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think when you look at the when you

566
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,719
Speaker 3: look at the the rams and the offensive line, it's

567
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 3: it's really short on household names. You know, most teams

568
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 3: you play, there's two or three guys or two guys

569
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 3: you kind of know that, Okay, this is an all

570
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 3: Pro guy, Pro Bowl guy. Oh this is a good

571
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 3: ascending guy. Uh. The really the only bright spot I

572
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 3: see right here is Steve Avula and he's you know

573
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 3: when you look at you know he's a rookie from TCU.

574
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 3: He's uh, he's from Arlington here, which is kind of

575
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 3: cool for him to be able to come home and play. Uh.

576
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 3: In college at TCU, uh, Avula played every offensive line position.

577
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 3: They've got him playing guard here. He's not the best athlete,

578
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 3: but this power makes up for these shortcomings that he

579
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 3: might have. If you try and rush him down the middle,

580
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 3: he is going to be a hard guy to move.

581
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 3: You just can't run through this guy. He's got a

582
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 3: great base. He's physical, he's strong, He's really sturdy if

583
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 3: you just try and run over the top. Where he

584
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 3: does have troubles is with movement, and you know there

585
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 3: were some teams that gave him some problems in these

586
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 3: games that I watch, he's a rookie. I think this

587
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 3: is where maybe that OsO Odiggy's Wall can take a

588
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 3: little bit of an advantage of him because the harder,

589
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,239
Speaker 3: the more quickness that he deals with you see him,

590
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 3: it kind of affects the way that he sets and

591
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 3: the way that he moves. You could take him one way,

592
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 3: taking back the other and then get on his shoulder

593
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 3: and go. But if you're going to rush him down

594
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 3: the middle, you're going to lose all day. He's just

595
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 3: going to sit down. And but he's a good, good

596
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: young lineman for them. He's getting better every game that

597
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 3: I watched where there really what they struggle is al

598
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 3: Rick Jackson and Rob Havnstein. Are you know these these

599
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 3: guys are the tackles and I think you could take

600
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 3: advantage of them because the Steelers, if you watch the Steelers,

601
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 3: and I kind of can look at the Steelers the

602
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 3: same way with the Cowboys with their ability to play

603
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 3: on the edge and have these pressure players, and these

604
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 3: two tackles really struggled with movement, and I mean movement

605
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 3: of not just running, but it was like it was

606
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 3: it was like you know that quick just that initial shoulder,

607
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 3: that shoulder shake or that you know press and then

608
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 3: go back the other way. These guys just don't move

609
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 3: very well when it comes to dealing with initial bursts

610
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 3: from from those edge rushers. So you could kind of

611
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 3: get them off on the wrong foot and that and

612
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 3: that kills their balance and then you work around them

613
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 3: or you work inside. I just think this is one

614
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 3: of those games where you need to pressure both of

615
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 3: them throughout. Don't give them any easy rushes. Make sure

616
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 3: you're on the movement. You're trying to get them off

617
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 3: balance because they will they'll struggle with that. The Steelers

618
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 3: did a great job of just every attacking rush was

619
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 3: a movement and it got them off balance and then

620
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 3: they were able to get to Stafford there. So they

621
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 3: will do a much you know, they're a group that

622
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 3: will struggle. Like I mentioned in that, their center I

623
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 3: want to talk about is Coleman's Shelton, And what's unusual

624
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 3: about him is he's really good at helping his teammates,

625
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 3: his linemates. When he's uncovered. I'd cover him, I'd cover him,

626
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 3: I'd make sure somebody's on him because He's not gonna

627
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 3: win a lot of battles one on one, but he's

628
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 3: much better at helping when he can kind of see like, oh, hey,

629
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 3: my garden needs help here, or you know, or I

630
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 3: got to kind of keep an eye on the rusher

631
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 3: over here. He's good at doing that and having that

632
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 3: kind of awareness. But when he has the one on

633
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 3: one assignment, it's a little bit of a problem for him.

634
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 3: It's unusual for him as he's one of these rare

635
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 3: centers that snaps the ball left handed too, so it's

636
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 3: a little bit different look when you look down the line.

637
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 3: You're used to seeing those right handed centers. He's a

638
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 3: left handed center, so it just kind of be a

639
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 3: little bit different for your eye when you're looking inside

640
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 3: and trying to get off on the ball there.

641
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 2: So, is this a situation where you guys feel that

642
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 2: the Cowboys d line can start getting more pressures and

643
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 2: stacking up those sacks, getting back into actually getting a sack.

644
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 4: I think this is a good This is a good

645
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 4: matchup for the Cowboys defensive line. The talent that they

646
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 4: have going across the board. When you look at how

647
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 4: it matches up against the talent on the cow sorry,

648
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 4: on the Rams offensive line, I mean advantage Cowboys in

649
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 4: a big way. I think this is a game where

650
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 4: they can get pressures, particularly in the interior.

651
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 5: Like you said, this keep an eye on Osa.

652
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 4: I think Osa recks this game, which then opens the

653
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 4: door for guys like Mike and DeMarcus Lawrence. And I

654
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 4: mean you might even see Jonathan Hankins get back there

655
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 4: a few times. Sure, the question has been, like you said,

656
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 4: will they start getting home more often than not? Well,

657
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 4: you're going against one of the few matchups in which

658
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 4: the quarterback is not more doesn't have a ton of

659
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 4: escapability in Matthew Stafford. So if ever, there was a

660
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 4: game that was kind of set for you to kind

661
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 4: of tee off on the quarterback like this is it.

662
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 4: You're not going to have to contend with Joshua Dobbs'

663
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 4: legs or Daniel Jones's legs or any of that nature.

664
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 4: It's Matthew Stafford. He's a pocket guy. He's not one

665
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 4: that likes to leak out of the back back end

666
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 4: of the protection. And you know, rattle off first down,

667
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 4: he's going to be back there. The Cowboys are going

668
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 4: to get back there. Matter is after that put your

669
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 4: hands on.

670
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 2: All right, let's take our final break. When we come back,

671
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 2: we'll start talking about some of those offensive weapons that

672
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 2: they do have. Yeah, AD wide receiver.

673
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 8: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

674
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 8: cheetah Savannah.

675
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 3: Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought online was reliable.

676
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 8: And now Todd is trying to be faster than this

677
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 8: cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. But the

678
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 8: good news is Todd has AT and T five G.

679
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 8: It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the

680
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 8: best thing to do is stop running and toss her

681
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 8: the backpack with the beef stew At and T five Fast, reliable, secure,

682

Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Brian, Welcome back to the third segment.

725
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 2: So far, so good. I like this report, Brian, so

726
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 2: don't don't change it up. Now that'll change don't. I'll

727
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 2: start going the other way now that we're about to

728
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 2: get into wife receivers and they got going on.

729
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 3: I think this is really the strength of their offense

730
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 3: when you look at uh, they've done it. They've gotten

731
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup back. We all kind of understand Cooper Cup

732
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 3: and what he's done. He's been dealing with a hamstring injury.

733
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 3: But now he's back, he's played in a couple of games.

734
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 3: It's for them, it's really good to have him back

735
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 3: in the mix. What makes him so difficult to deal

736
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 3: with is he lines up all over the place. He'll

737
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 3: split time between the slot and the outside. Why it's

738
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 3: almost fifty to fifty where they line him up. I mean,

739
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 3: they just don't say, Okay, we're gonna just put you

740
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 3: in the slot, or we're gonna just go put you outside.

741
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 3: I mean it's really legitimly split fifty to fifty where

742
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 3: they're gonna try and put him. The majority of his

743
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 3: targets have come from the slot, and the majority of

744
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 3: his receptions, is funny, have come from the outside. So

745
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 3: they throw the ball to him inside, but they have

746
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 3: more receptions with him on the outside. So just you know,

747
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 3: that's kind of a little something crazy to kind of

748
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 3: keep in mind there though. His separation is interesting too.

749
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 3: He gets less separation from the slot than he does

750
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 3: on the outside, which is, you know, you usually think

751
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 3: like in the slot, you have this, you know, you

752
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 3: have the ability to use the whole field. You have

753
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 3: what they call two way go where you can just

754
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 3: kind of go anywhere you want on the outside. You

755
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 3: kind of have a prescribed route that you run exactly.

756
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 3: It's it's a weird thing, but he's really good at

757
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 3: catching the football. He makes super tough catches. He's tough,

758
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 3: he'll take a hit. He's one of those guys that

759
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 3: likes to come across the middle. You give him the

760
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 3: ball and then he's going to make big plays. It's

761
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 3: very similar to what you kind of saw on the

762
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 3: receivers from San Francisco that shallow cross. Hit him with

763
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 3: the pass, let him go up the field, or you know,

764
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 3: kind of run him a little bit deeper, intermediate across

765
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 3: the field throwing the ball, let him run. He's one

766
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 3: of those, you know, he's a very very talented receiver

767
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 3: in that way. We talked about Puka Dakua and this

768
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 3: has been this guy has been a steal for the

769
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 3: Rams through the first seven games of the season. He

770
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 3: really burst on the scene because he was filling in

771
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 3: for Cooper Cup and you know, but they use him

772
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 3: like Cooper Cup and so now it's it's more of

773
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 3: a the with cut back. He's kind of gone to

774
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 3: a more of an outside role. But man, when every

775
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,919
Speaker 3: time Stafford throws in the ball, it just doesn't matter

776
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 3: where it is, he's gonna catch it. He's just that's

777
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 3: that's the way he plays. And I just was super

778
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 3: impressed with, you know, with him and his ability to

779
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 3: come in and the nuances of the game and running

780
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 3: routes and all that. You know, it's been really impressive.

781
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 3: You've got to be aware of both these guys are

782
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 3: very similar or how they play. They play inside, they

783
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 3: play outside, They drag routes, they go up the field,

784
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 3: they turn around, you throw them the ball, they run. Uh.

785
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 3: It's really really it's been impressive. He I think that

786
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 3: he has more quickness than what you have from Cooper

787
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 3: Cup And you know that's something that you're going to

788
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 3: have to deal with right there because he has the

789
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 3: ability to create that separation. But the third guy I

790
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 3: want to point out two is to two out Well

791
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 3: And like his teammates, the majority they have some great names,

792
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 3: great names. To two out Well is a majority of

793
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 3: his work is done on the outside because you've got

794
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 3: these other two guys that really work on the on

795
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 3: the inside. Where he presents a problem is they bring

796
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 3: him into the formation, they'll like he's the guy they're

797
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 3: always going to put on the move so like the

798
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 3: guys will be stationary and then they'll bring out well

799
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 3: in motion. They'll make it a trip's formation, scatter, they'll

800
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 3: move him across, they'll bring him by himself, but they're

801
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 3: always He's the one guy that's constantly moving. So if

802
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 3: in zone coverage, you got to be aware of him

803
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 3: starting on one spot and then ending up where you're at,

804
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:09,720
Speaker 3: or if you're a man, you've got to be ready

805
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 3: to travel across with him and deal with that or

806
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 3: bump out whatever you have to do. But he's the

807
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 3: guy that's on the move. He makes a lot of

808
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 3: big plays in the middle of the field. You know,

809
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 3: there's there's times where Stafford is wearing defensive linemen and

810
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 3: he just fires the ball in the middle of the

811
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 3: field out well, it goes down low, catches the ball

812
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 3: right off the top of the turf. And so he's

813
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 3: one of those guys that you know, like I say,

814
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 3: you got to be aware of him moving around and

815
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 3: with because of the motions to just kind of create issues.

816
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 3: And then also with Kupp and Nakua, two very similar

817
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 3: guys to to how they play, so they've got a

818
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 3: pretty solid receiving corps with those with those three guys.

819
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you see the Cowboys defending this? How

820
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 2: do you see these matchup and how they're lying.

821
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 5: I mean, the good news for the Cowboys is they

822
00:39:58,400 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 5: have the horses.

823
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 4: I mean, even without travel Diggs, you still have a very,

824
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 4: very physical and sticky defensive back in both Deron Bland

825
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 4: and Jordan Lewis. As long as you can try to

826
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 4: limit the number of times that you see Gilmore getting

827
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 4: kind of trailed or dragged across on slants, which is

828
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 4: how the offices are starting to take advantage of Gilmore.

829
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 4: If you can keep Gilmore playing straight up with his guy,

830
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,720
Speaker 4: then that's a matchup that you win. And Deron Bland

831
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 4: and Jordan Lewis they have the physicality to disrupt at

832
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage. So, but I mean, no other

833
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 4: way to put it other than how Brian put it.

834
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 4: You're gonna have your hands full with Cooper Cup and

835
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 4: Pooka Nakula and and to to at well. I mean,

836
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 4: that's a lot of quickness, that's a lot of speed,

837
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,439
Speaker 4: and that's a lot of catch radius. But also keep

838
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 4: an eye on a guy like Tyler Higbee. Yeah, yeah, Yeah,

839
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 4: that's the that's going to be the pressure release valve

840
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 4: for Matthew Stafford. So if you're covering well on those receivers,

841
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 4: and you better make sure if you're jay Ron Curse,

842
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 4: if you're those linebackers, if you're a those safeties, keep

843
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 4: an eye on Tyler Higby. He doesn't have any touchdowns

844
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 4: yet this season, but that doesn't mean that can't change

845
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 4: at the blink of an eye. So, yeah, they got

846
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 4: some weapons around Matthew Stafford, but as it goes, if

847
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 4: you want to neutralize the weapons, you take out the quarterback.

848
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, with Hickby, what are some of his strength

849
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 2: and his ability.

850
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 3: He is a much better receiver than he is a blocker.

851
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 3: And what they do, unfortunately for him, is they put

852
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 3: him in a lot of car crashes, is what they do.

853
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 3: They'll bring him in motion and they'll let him block

854
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 3: at the point of attack, and he's just not equipped

855
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 3: to do that. He'll try, but man, he gets worred down.

856
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 3: You blocking on the back side in the running game,

857
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 3: blocking front side in the running game. There's a lot

858
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 3: of things they ask him to do that he's just

859
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 3: not very It's not his strength at all. His strength

860
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 3: is getting up the field and then playing in the

861
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 3: slot he kind of plays. There's a lot of run

862
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 3: routes that he runs where he's near the line of

863
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 3: scrimmage or on next to the tackle what we call

864
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 3: in line right next to the tackle, But a lot

865
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 3: of his work also is done detached in the slot

866
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 3: where he could kind of work a little bit in space.

867
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 3: So it just depends on when they get in there.

868
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,240
Speaker 3: When they get in their eleven personnel, he is always

869
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 3: going to be the tied end and eleven personnel. So

870
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 3: it's those three wide receivers and then and then Higbee.

871
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 3: Some teams treat Higbee like he's like he's a wide receiver,

872
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,439
Speaker 3: like you put a guy. When you put a guy

873
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 3: like a linebacker or safety that's not really comfortable in coverage.

874
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 3: He has success. But if you kind of treat him

875
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 3: with a with a with a corner or somebody that

876
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 3: can run with him, it makes it a little bit

877
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 3: more difficult for them. So I'm i'm I'm gonna be

878
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 3: keeping an eye on how do you match the other

879
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 3: those wide receivers that we talked about. The quarterback, Well,

880
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 3: that's the advantage you have right there. Your pass rush.

881
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 3: Your pass rush is an advantage over this offensive line

882
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 3: and can you get to Stafford before the ball comes

883
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 3: flying out of there. That's that's where that's where this recipe.

884
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 3: That's it.

885
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 2: Well, let's go ahead, and since we're running out of time,

886
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 2: jump into the running game and how well they run

887
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 2: the ball.

888
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've struggled a little bit becau because Royce Freeman

889
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:06,720
Speaker 3: and Darryl Henderson are now the primary backs. Karen Karrien

890
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 3: Williams is an ankle injury and he's been out. He's

891
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 3: on IR But they did a really good job. Freeman

892
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 3: and Henderson ran the ball for over one hundred and

893
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 3: twenty yards last week against the Steelers. So it's gonna

894
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 3: be it's gonna be shotgun hand off like from the sidecar,

895
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 3: you know, handed inside, or it's gonna be the pistol

896
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 3: straight behind and just turn and hand it when they

897
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 3: go under center. It's usually like when they get they

898
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 3: get like the Cowboys run the same thing. You just

899
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 3: Dak takes a snap, turns and hands the ball to

900
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 3: Poller and they just attack the middle of the line.

901
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 3: There's a couple of different ways, but it's gonna be

902
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 3: like that out that It's gonna be zone block. It's

903
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 3: gonna be outside and just kind of let the back.

904
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 3: Freeman is a really big guy stewarding thirty eight pounds,

905
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 3: so he's kind of a guy that's not really quick.

906
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 3: He's just downhill and tries to be physical with you.

907
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 3: Henderson on their side, smaller, quicker.

908
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 2: Does he usually get extra yards after.

909
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, the contact and stuff like that. I was surprised

910
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 3: at how well they ran the ball against the Steelers.

911
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 3: That was like, whoa, you know that. That was kind

912
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 3: of like you don't always expect to, you know, teams

913
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 3: and you think about the Steelers and run defense, it's usually,

914
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 3: you know, pretty solid right there, but they got hit

915
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 3: for about one hundred and buck twenty in this game.

916
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 3: Freeman had sixty, Henderson had sixty. So that was that

917
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 3: was pretty eye opening for me. The thing that I

918
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 3: like about Henderson is that he is smaller, he's quicker,

919
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 3: and he's more decisive where he's going to go with

920
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 3: the football. So you know, you got to be ready.

921
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 3: One guy is just going to try and run over you,

922
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 3: and one guy is going to be a little bit

923
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 3: more shifty in the way that he plays with Just.

924
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 2: A close off today's show is this, Since we talked

925
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 2: about linebacker at the beginning of the show. Is this

926
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 2: a game where possibly now we do see the linebackers

927
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 2: struggle more than what we saw the last game.

928
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 4: I don't see why this would be a game where

929
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 4: they'd be expected the struggle any more than a matchup

930
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 4: like against Austin Eckler. For you, yeah, I think the

931
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 4: corners are the corners, and I mean that you have

932
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 4: because of the capability and the ability of the corners

933
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,720
Speaker 4: and the defensive backs, you don't necessarily need linebacker help there, Okay,

934
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 4: so you get to allow your linebackers to more so

935
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 4: focus on run support and a guy like Williams who

936
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 4: can catch the ball out of the backfield as well

937
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 4: as Eckler can do. So the confidence there is you've

938
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 4: now seen them shut down guys like Bryce Hall, Dalvin Cook,

939
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 4: Austin Eckler. That gives you confidence that the linebacker core

940
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 4: can do that, hopefully against a guy like Williams as well.

941
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 4: And outside of last week, a rushing attack from the

942
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 4: Rams that is not their strength, that's not their bread

943
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 4: and butter, and that's what they've been struggling at. So

944
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 4: it's a Cowboys run defense that one or two games notwithstanding,

945
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 4: has looked very good even in the absence of late

946
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,280
Speaker 4: Vanderush last week. Versus a rushing attack from the Rams.

947
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 4: That a is not their primary goal. That's not the

948
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 4: bread and butter, and when they go to it, it

949
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 4: typically more often than not hasn't gone well. So I

950
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 4: think the linebackers are in a good matchup.

951
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 3: On I think the Charge had a better offensive line

952
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 3: than with the Ram. So if you if you can

953
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 3: take advantage, if you can stop Austin Eckler the way

954
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 3: that they did and play play run defense to the

955
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 3: level you played against the Chargers, you should not have

956
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 3: a problem against these Rams.

957
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 5: And then your pasts rush needs to just get home,

958
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 5: all right?

959
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 2: That is it for today.

960
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 3: I have got better receivers.

961
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 5: Get home.

962
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 2: Yeah again, If you this rup the past and get

963
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 2: to the quarterback, then you should be good and hopefully

964
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 2: some interceptions come from that and get their hands on

965
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 2: the ball again and maybe scoring points too.

966
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 5: Who knows, that'd be fun.

967
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 2: That'd be fun. Remember week one? Shall that was fun?

968
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 5: Shall we?

969
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 3: All right?

00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,280
