Defense has been 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.160 playing lights out this season, has only allowed one touchdown 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.160 in each of the first four games, and they're going 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.520 up against the reigning Super Bowl champions that are trying 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:12.000 to get back on track offensively.

But also a quick shout out too, 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.000 because regardless of if I like the team or dislike 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.600 the team. MLBE histories, MLBE history. So it shouts out 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:36.760 to Aaron Judge for a phenomenal and phenomenal is understand 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.319 there's there were no adjectives to describe what we witness 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.600 this season from Aaron Jof So shouts out to him. 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:43.040 I think he's going to be the first half of 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.640 Billy Dollar player. You say he's gonna double up the 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:49.240 offer they gave him. Come come up betting on yourself 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.040 blank check and coming through check and even if it 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.200 doesn't come from the pin stripes, wait from somebody. They 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.560 offered him to fifty Yeah, offered him to seven years 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.760 to thirty or something like that. Yeah, that's what it was, 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:03.240 he said. He said, that's what is that? That's that's 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.880 reaching thirty five million dollars a year. That's not enough, 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.000 he's Yeah, he's only gonna go win the Triple Crown 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:09.560 and hit the most home runs in the history of 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.120 the going to be getting paid at least sixty a year. Yeah. 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.720 Now it's even crazier because baseball baseball is didn't get 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:18.320 spot and I know this is a football podcast, but 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.360 just gotta hit this real quick. Were you thinking should 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:26.639 play baseball. Nick, thinking about it, you would be he'll 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:31.800 be playing, he'd be a part of that Mariners postseason righters. Baby, 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:33.680 we'll talk plenty of about this in the future. But 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:35.600 I mean you think about Aaron Judge and what he's doing, 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.000 and then shoho tani. I mean he's got two hundred 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.160 strikeouts and thirty four home runs himself. I mean those 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:44.120 are two guys that baseball has not seen in hundreds 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.360 of years, I mean a long time. At the same time, 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.639 it's really really cool time for baseball. By the way, 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.000 gives me a platform to to go ahead and do this. Beamer, 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:54.360 if you could take my my single camera here once again. 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.799 I know this is a baseball show or a football show. 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:58.960 It was not in the Rundown, No it wasn't, but 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.639 this is this is a foot ball show. However, I 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:06.000 realized last night that I have a family member, a 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.800 long lost brother, Corey. We've had some great times. Corey, 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.120 yeomans who caught the sixty second home run ball for 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.520 Aaron Judge. It's been a long time. I just I 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.840 miss you. I think we need to hang out. By 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:21.920 the way, I know you don't remember this, but you 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.519 owe me fifty thousand from that one time he made 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.239 it bet as a kid time to go. Yeah, that 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.120 one time. But just hit me up if you ever 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:34.440 need anything, Corey. That's all I'm doing. So you know 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.240 how they always say, like when you make your money, 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.400 your family comes out of the woodworks. So here I am. 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.320 How do he make it home? The security? Did you 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.200 like four cops or he walked about the building but 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:51.560 they didn't take him home. He's also kind of like 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.040 social media. That's the thing about social media, Like now, 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.160 like for the time he caught it to the time 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:58.680 he walked out of the stadium, everybody knew what he 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.400 looked like. So how did you go from outside the state? 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.040 How do you go from inside the stadium to your 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.720 car or to an uber or to whatever you're gonna do. 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.400 I'm willing to bid you because you see what he 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:10.760 does for a living. He's well off, at least enough 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.400 to the point where you know, security probably helped him. 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.640 He's a p for an investment firm. Yeah, so security probably. 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:22.599 He's definitely gonna say that's what I mean. He he's 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.960 not giving that ball back and he was enjoying holding 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:29.040 his you know, two to five million dollars, baseball and 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:33.600 the beach by Friday, you know, as the Mets would know. 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:34.880 We got to move on. But what would you do 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.000 you caught Aaron Judge's ball, he asked for Hey, can 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.680 I get the ball back? Now? You hobously about my 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.080 opinion now that what would I honestly, what would you do? Man? 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.320 That's my ball where I mean my rubles. Life's been 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:53.200 hard generationally, my paper, right, let's talk, Let's let's talk. 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.920 Let's descut. I'm not giving it back, You're not giving 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.040 it back. I love Aaron Judge too. I think he's 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.200 a great player. But I mean, it's it's in my possession, 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:05.920 you know. Or honest I think I think I would 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.480 agree if I would handed that over, like I truly 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.120 believe that I would probably give the ball back, but 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:12.839 I would just do it under the condition to say 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.480 I I would hope that the Yankees would would would 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.040 take care of me. I say, I would say, hey, 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:20.800 I don't think I can hold onto it, so I'm 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:22.960 gonna give it back to you. But I just in 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.120 good faith, I will hope that you and the Yankees 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:28.480 would take care of me. Handshake, I can hand no, no, no, 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.520 interference of opinion. No, absolutely, That's why I asked the question. 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.000 But I just don't see. I'm a good man. Yeah, 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:37.799 I don't, No, sir, No, sir. I understand my ruber. 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:39.960 I understand the opportunities, and I think that Aaron Judge 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.360 and everybody else understands kind of the sequence of events 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.039 and how they were prepared for this, right. And that's 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.560 why I say, hey, here you go, Here you go, bro, like, 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:50.400 just take care of your boy. Let me ask this's 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.160 the price of the ball go up or down the 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.800 more days you get from it the actual hit. I 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.159 bet it goes down a little bit until it kind 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.320 of gets to a spot where it's stagg and I'm 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:01.600 sure it probably goes down a little bit. So I 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.279 would sell it quick. It's what I would do. But 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.240 let me ask you this. The Yankees never took care 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.480 of him. The Rangers never took care of him. Nobody 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:08.919 ever took care of him. He had to buy his 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:10.640 own ticket to get into the building. And he caught 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:15.440 the ball. I don't care what happens. Give me that's 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.320 my ball. Ball. You can have it back whenever I 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.640 give it back to you. No, not gonna happen's talk. 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.760 Same thing with the tom Brady ball that was given 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.120 to him, the three hundred touchdown, that was like giving 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.360 the fan. Yeah, he didn't take care that. He didn't 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:37.400 take care of him the same point season tickets for 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.640 like two years. Yeah, that's not it until if he 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.320 lives in text. They gave him what I think he 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.360 Tom Brady ended up giving him like a big coin 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.039 or something like oh congruens, yeah, which is worth and 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:50.120 it went down. Yeah, and I'm not looking great right now. Scholars, yen, euros, rubles, 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.680 run me all of it. Man's got options. Yeah, good 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.440 for him. All right, enough for this, Let's talk news 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.279 and notes. Dallas Cowboys back on the practice field today 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.520 after an off day yesterday. We got some news about 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.040 a deep snapper. Yeah, there's an injury we did not 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.880 cover yesterday on the show. Actually, we're went upstairs afterwards 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:10.080 and found out Jake McQuaid long snapper, expected to be 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.600 out for the season with a torn triceps. And if 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.480 you go back and you watch the All twenty two, 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.920 it's the last punt of the game. Uh, Derek Forrest, 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.480 I think for the Commanders is punt rushing trying to 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:24.240 block the punt and McQuaid kind of wrestles him to 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.280 the ground and when he gets back up, his left 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.480 arm is just limp as he's running down in the 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:33.040 field on the on the punt coverage. Still, what kind 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.440 of he tried? I think he got about ten yards 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:39.080 and fell down like this hurts. Yeah, now give him credit. 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:43.600 So they are having to adjust, and they signed or 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:47.000 expected to sign too long snappers to the practice squad 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:51.800 by before practice Matt Overton and Tucker Addington. It's not alp. 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:56.680 LP was not among the four workouts yesterday. I think 0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:01.440 he's really need to work out. He wasn't signed though 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.120 eighteen years in the league. Maybe not yeah now, but 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:09.640 I think very sneezing LP gets signed winnings at the 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.480 front door. Go hold on, guys, Yes, there's there's a 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:18.440 certain there's record out there. You extra. That's a very 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:22.840 important position, though very very important position outline because most 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:24.320 people are gonna write it off as oh, it's just 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:26.800 just a specialist. He's not even a kicker or a punter. 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:28.800 Listen here, the kicker and the punter don't get the 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.560 ball right unless this dude snaps the ball accurately every 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.320 single time. Much like the holder is important. I know 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.880 Cowboys Nation remembers how important holder is. You don't do that. 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:42.280 I'm just saying the important. It's true, right, the just 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.520 as as much as emphasis is put on the holder, 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.040 the snapper is just as important because you need that 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.280 ball to be in the same place every single time, 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:53.360 because you are literally operating out of what's the term 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.720 I'm looking for, muscle memory. Yeah, it is. It's muscle memory, 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:58.720 not only as a snapper, but as the holder too, 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.920 and the kicker and the punter. Everything's timing. It's just routine. 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.800 It's freaking routine. That's what I'm routine like. Everything is routine, 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:07.520 Like you don't even think about it, like it's just 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.320 it's instinctual. Well, it's exactly to the point that you're making, 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.640 is what I mentioned on media matching, what I mentioned 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.400 on the Heels of the Team parting ways with LP. 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:18.880 For a lot of people that say, oh, long snappers 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.120 don't don't matter, if they absolutely matter for all of 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.160 those reasons. And you you're also talking about guys bearing 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.800 down on you and gunners coming. It's fractions of a second. 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:31.360 So if you know the holder or the punter and 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.600 anger have to do this or you know, to the 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:35.880 left by a fraction or to the right by a fraction, 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:38.800 up by If it's not then on every single time 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:42.480 it messes up, the technicals watch close people are they 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.600 blocking field goals and extra points almost every plane in Yeah, 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.320 it's just watching how close? I mean you're talking about 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.640 a tenth of a second difference and the most field 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.439 goals are blocked. Yeah, and it's it's the only position 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.760 in the NFL too, where you can't mess up at 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.760 all or you're gone. Like even kicker, you can miss 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:00.600 a few kicks and they'll kind to stick with you 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:04.000 if you have like two bad snaps, they're looking for 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.160 somebody else. And that's why what LP did for so 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.439 many years was so impressive. Man like you never and 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:10.440 it was about it and it was perfect. You know, 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:15.800 the phantom created penalty in Washington notwithstanding, it was perfect. 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:17.520 I mean Elpi had a perfect career and to be 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.959 able to do that is inhuman. So you know, long 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.360 snappers matter. And the only thing we can say is 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.719 because Nui asked me yesterday, what's am I concerned? Yeah, 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.440 I'm concerned until I'm no longer concerned when it comes 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.720 to the long snapper. Now, I'm probably one of those 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:35.400 people who are typically unreasonably concerned when it comes to 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.840 that particular position. But of course it goes to what 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.720 you know, Isaiah said, fractions of a second routine and 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.560 also trust between the holder and the long snapper, the 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:46.719 punterer and the long snapper. All of that stuff has 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:50.080 to be re established now with these new guys. And 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:54.120 they've signed two, which tells you that they're still trying 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:57.600 these guys out going into two of the more important 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.840 games as far this season. So I'm not saying hit 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:01.559 the hanic butting over the long snap of what I'm 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:03.640 saying is it is most certainly something to keep an 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:05.839 eye on. I don't think it's happening. I know it's not. 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.920 He's trying to chant l I was mad they took 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:13.360 that that record away. It's not gonna happen. So they 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.040 got two guys on the practice squad, expected to officially 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.360 be for practice and then they'll make a decision. Also 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.800 expect expect McQuaid to go on ir and Will Greer, 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.800 especially assuming Dak will not play this week, which hasn't 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.400 been ruled out, but that's probably the expectation will greer. 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.080 He's out of practice squad elevation, so they'll bump him up, 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:35.160 sign him to the active roster. A couple more injury things. 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.480 James Washington is eligible to come off IR this week. 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.880 I don't think that's going to happen yet. Damon Clark 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:47.200 can start his practice window about this week. Talk about it, 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.960 and I think that's a possibility. Hit it, Yes, talk 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:53.960 about it. I excited. Isaiah's more excited about Damon Clark 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:57.480 coming back than he was Jason Peter. Right, I can't 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:02.560 wait to see long snap. Can Jason Peter's long snap. 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:06.560 I just want everybody to go home and just google 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:10.240 theman Clark. Google him, just google him. Don't look at 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.280 his LSU pictures. I want you to look at all 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.520 the head shots that they have of him and a 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.840 Dallas Cowboys practice uniform and just look at the intensity 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.240 on his face and tell me that's not a man. 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:25.040 That not that one. It looks pretty intense even smile, 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:30.000 But looking at him right there, that's what I'm talking about. 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.280 On the other one, talk about this one, right that 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.640 one right there, zooming on that one, about that, yeah, 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.640 zooming on that one and doing one shot on that 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:38.360 one beamer. I don't know if I can do that. 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:43.320 You gotta make the bigger. That's a um. So this 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:47.199 guy is intense. I've had conversations with this younger specimen. Jesus, 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.360 that's a specimen. He's a large human. Yeah, he's a 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.640 very large human. That's very athletic, very fast. I know 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.120 I was standing on the table yelling for you know, 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.400 Nakobe Deane before you know when the draft stuff happened. 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:02.040 Very absolutely right. So he's a basically but the value 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.120 that they got with him, first of all, kudos to 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:09.319 the training staff for what they discovered. Kudos to the 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.880 obviously the front office for trusting the training staff and 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.520 trusting the process and getting him taken care of, still 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.840 drafting him, still getting him in surgery, all those kind 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:19.560 of things, and then they're nursing him back to health. 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:25.040 And now you have a very viable option adding more 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:29.240 to DQ. You add a DC to a DQ, and 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.080 you're just that much strong lizzard and you're getting somebody. Now, 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:33.559 obviously he has to come out here improve it. He 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.400 hasn't had any reps, all those kind of things. He 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.040 has to get his legs underneath them. All that. But 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.720 he's been obviously working with the training staff and all 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.400 those things getting back in condition. It's not football conditions, 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.800 so he'll need a ramp up period. But I think 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:46.400 that he's going to be huge, not only for the 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.439 special teams because that's where he'll have the most impact immediately, 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.880 but in terms of your packaging, what now can you 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.840 do package wise if you add him to the active 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.880 right and you roll him in there. Now you talk 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.199 about speed pack just you talk about being able to 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.480 have guys at the second level that can run and hit. 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:07.520 And I'm excited about this, and I'm excited for him 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.520 because I remember came of conversations with him. He was 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:15.320 beyond frustrated and he had never been a mirror. We 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:16.920 had some conversations and I just told him, I say, 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:18.560 if you ever need anything, just hold at me, because 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:22.200 I've been through injuries. Bro like the mental the psychology 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.240 that it takes to overcome that, right, We've talked about 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:27.200 it in the documentary, but it takes a lot. Yeah, 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.160 and especially when you come in and you're ready to 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:33.280 have an impact. I came in having had surgery, right 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:34.800 and had to come in and learn and all that 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.200 kind of stuff, So you feel like you're lesser than 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.360 you feel like you're detached from the team. You feel 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:40.920 like you're not a part of everything that all the 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.480 success that's going on. So that's what he's coming into. 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:44.600 And he just wants to go out there and have 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.800 fun and run around and play and remember who he 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.120 used to be. Right and needless to say, I mean 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:53.400 me being an sec guy, I've seen plenty of Demon Clark, 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:55.120 just like I saw Pride to him, I saw plenty 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:56.800 of your real Clark, so forth and so on. Demon 0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:01.680 Clark is different, different, like a human being with that 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:06.840 size should not have the ability to be that much 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:10.520 of a quick twitch athlete, Like his quick twitch is ridiculous. 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:14.800 His ability to read close and react is insane. And 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.760 like you said, kudos to the front office and also 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:21.120 the medical staff. And it's a it's a fantastic situation 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:25.320 for Demon because he's coming into an organization that unfortunately 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:29.000 is well versed in neck issues. You talk about toron Smithy, 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.920 talk about Lvee here recently. Now LV is out there 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.000 playing just fine, knock on wood that he continues to 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.480 do so, but they're not afraid to take a risk 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:40.000 on a next situation. So now the procedure has been done, 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.880 Demon is clearly ahead of schedule. There was something they 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:44.280 were wondering if this was going to be a red 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:48.320 shirt season for him. Obviously not. His window is potentially 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.680 going to open us early as today, and if all 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.760 goes well, then he could in fact be activated. And 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:58.680 now you're talking about Michael Parsons and Demon card. Oh, 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:04.760 dan Quinn bar just goes on and on, and they 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:06.600 look at who's playing in front of that unit, then 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:10.960 look who's playing behind that unit. The rich get richer 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:13.920 when it comes to dan Quinnon's defense, Ladies and gentlemen. 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.560 Like he said, if google Demon Clark beyond just the 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:21.200 intensity of his smile right, go back and look at 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:24.600 his LSU tape. The kid is not even a kid. 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.880 He's an adult male and he is an absolute monster. 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:31.880 And if he can hit his stride anytime soon for 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:37.520 the Cowboys, I grief, Charlie Brown. I like the optimism, 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.520 I really do, and and honestly, I'm there with you 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.000 in terms of he's a good player. He was the 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.480 top sixty guy from me prior to knowing about the injury. 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.600 He was the number eight linebacker in my list of 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:51.760 draft prospects prior to knowing about the injury. The injury 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:53.400 gives me a little bit of pause, but luckily they 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:55.240 went in and cleaned it up. I don't think it's 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.480 going to be an immediate impact because even looking at 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.640 your guy, the Kobe d the Kobe Dan, he I mean, 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:02.760 he was as good as anybody. He was my number 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:06.120 one linebacker, number fourteen player overall. Guess what he's done 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.639 in four games in the NFL. He said, one tackle. 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.960 That's it. No sacks, no interceptions, no PPUs, no pressures, nothing. 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.560 He's had one solo tackle in his first four games. 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:17.159 Give it a little bit of time. I know the 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.760 hype train is there. I'm with you. I think he's 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:21.920 going to be a good player, but let's not get 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:23.680 carried away that he's going to be a game changer. 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:28.120 If he hits they start the window, they give him 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:30.480 three weeks to ramp up, and if he gets on 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:32.959 the roster, like, yeah, I'm kind of with you, Like 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.680 I think like it took Anthony Barr a nice little 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.240 ramp up period, and I think he's probably getting Yeah, 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.120 and he's a four time pro bowler and there's been 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.119 no it's a it's a transition to the league plus 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.000 the injury, plus you know, ramping back up. So I 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.119 think it'll take some time. But yeah, he had no 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.680 business being a fifth round draft pick just now. I mean, 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:52.879 I think long term, you should be really excited if 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.800 you're a Cowboys fan. But really, if he's activated, um 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.000 within his twenty one day window, I could see Damon 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:02.240 Clark making some sort of impact, not only on special teams. 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:04.040 I think he will make an impact on special teams 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:06.760 sooner than he would on defense. But I could see 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.320 him making some sort of impact for dan Quinn on defense, 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:13.920 you know, come December, when the game's really start to matter. Now, yeah, 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.120 I mean, he had like al you know, I mean, 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:17.639 it wouldn't be hard to have a career game as 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.040 a rookie because you know, you have one. Say, guess what, 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.320 it's a queer game. But I think he'll make an 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:25.520 impact in some way, shape or form on defense as 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:29.080 early as December, assuming that he saw that from Jabril 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.119 Cox prior to the injury. He was ramping up and 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:33.640 getting better last year prior to him. Daniel Jones knows 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:36.640 that got from season ending. Yeah, he does, Yes, he does. 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:39.440 So really quickly before we go to our first break. 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:42.680 So if you are on IR so to Mum Clark, 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.199 James Washington, and you get out, you can be on 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:49.439 the practice field for how long prior to the twenty 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:51.960 one days? So three weeks? Yeah, you have to be 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:55.040 activated within that window, or if you're put on there, 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.560 or you go right back for the season and you're done, 0:18:57.600 --> 0:18:59.680 you can't come back. Okay, So keep that in mind 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:02.240 when especially with James Washington, He's probably not going to 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:04.840 start a practice window. He's probably gonna need that practice 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.520 window more than anybody, right, I think from a wide 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.760 receiver standpoint, we saw that when Michael Gallup took him 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.199 almost three weeks to ramp up without actually going on 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:14.840 to IR. So, all right, when we come back, let's 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:18.240 take a look at how this Rams offense can challenge 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.400 the Cowboys defense. There's a ton of weapons still on 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:24.280 that Rams offensive side of the football. And is Alan 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:26.639 Robinson finally going to wake up for them on the 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:29.359 outside against this cornerback room or are they going to 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.200 shut him down when we come back with more talking 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:36.359 Cowboys right after this.

Chris Beam in the 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:17.399 back as always, all right, Every Wednesday we preview what 0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:21.160 the Cowboys defensive matchups gonna look like wall to wall Wednesday, 0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:23.040 and they go wal to wall so far because they 0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:25.919 have not allowed a whole lot to this point. One 0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:28.760 of the best defenses in the NFL. But you feel 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:33.000 like you're playing a sleeping giant, right The Los Angeles 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:35.800 Rams right now coming in just haven't figured it out 0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:40.920 on offensees sound familiar, but their defense is still very, 0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:43.119 very good. We'll talk about the Rams defense tomorrow. But 0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:45.439 when you take a first look at this Rams offense, 0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:48.560 what are your initial thoughts. I don't think it's as 0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:51.960 bad as what the La Times headline was this morning 0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:55.200 that they're a or Monday morning that they're a predictable mess. 0:22:56.440 --> 0:23:00.359 Just getting after Sean McVeigh. No, please don't put in 0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:02.480 the city of Angels, right, because you said it in 0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:04.240 the break like they're gonna figure it out. He's gonna 0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:06.479 figure it out. I think I don't think it's as 0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:09.560 bad as it looked. I mean, I think protection wise, 0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:13.600 it was bad on Sunday night or Monday, but they 0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:17.200 got to the red zone three times. They moved the 0:23:17.280 --> 0:23:20.360 ball and they got nine points out of three red 0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:23.359 zone trips, So you left twelve points on the board, 0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:26.000 and I think they're capable of doing more than that. 0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:29.360 Although they're facing a tough Cowboys defense this week. They've 0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:31.440 got to get some more balance in their offense. And 0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:33.840 it's not just the passing game. We touched on the 0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:36.679 number of targets to two guys in their whole offense. 0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:38.920 They got to get back to running the ball. And 0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:41.399 there were some some moments in the game on Monday 0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:44.520 night where you're like, I think Eli said it on 0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:47.440 the broadcast with Peyton, like it might as well be 0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:49.679 a sack. You're trying to run the ball. They get 0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:51.600 some kind of balance going, and you get a two 0:23:51.640 --> 0:23:53.879 yard loss and they just can't get anything going between 0:23:53.960 --> 0:23:57.240 Henderson and Acres, and that's you got Matt Stafford throwing 0:23:57.280 --> 0:23:59.840 forty eight times that's not conducive for anything in terms 0:23:59.880 --> 0:24:04.639 of balance. See, unfortunately for them. You know, the Cowboys, 0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:09.680 they know very well that they need to improve this 0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:12.879 run defense. And you go back and you listen to 0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:15.600 the sounds of the sideline, and one of the biggest 0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:17.959 things that I took away from that was DeMarcus Lawrence 0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:22.119 being upset that the run defense was not what it 0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:25.040 should have been up to expectations. So you have a 0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:28.199 team leader like that, a unit leader like that who's 0:24:28.440 --> 0:24:32.480 just beating the table all week in practice and meetings, 0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:35.920 basically saying, we have to make sure that we don't 0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:39.640 allow the Rams to get Acres and Henderson off, otherwise 0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:41.920 our secondary is going to have a long day. So 0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:45.520 this is the Cowboys defense that also has been doing 0:24:45.680 --> 0:24:48.159 very well in clamping down in the red zone. You 0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:51.359 talk about the Rams only being able to convert those 0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:54.080 three red zone trips for nine points and leaving points 0:24:54.119 --> 0:24:56.480 on the field, Well, they are, like you said, they're 0:24:56.480 --> 0:24:59.280 going against the Cowboys defense that is routine ly stingy 0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:01.520 and that area of the field. So it's not going 0:25:01.600 --> 0:25:03.479 to get any easier for the Rams. And then now 0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:06.960 you talk about the offensive line, which we mentioned on yesterday, 0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:10.120 really briefly, they were down to a backup center who 0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:13.840 is actually a guard moved to center, and Shelton Sheldon 0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:15.680 goes down with injury. Turns out he's going to be 0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:17.480 out for forty six weeks. He's not coming back, so 0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:19.560 it's probably going to be colony. Right, So, now you 0:25:19.680 --> 0:25:23.640 got a third string next to a couple of backups 0:25:24.320 --> 0:25:28.600 at arguably the most important portion of your offense, which 0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:33.359 is the interior offensive line. If the Cowboys can just 0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:36.960 win those personnel matchups like they should and fairly I 0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:38.720 don't want to say that the E word easily, but 0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:42.520 fairly handedly let's put it that way, then the Rams 0:25:42.520 --> 0:25:43.720 are not going to be able to run the ball 0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:46.359 and that's going to force Matthew Stafford into a forty 0:25:46.400 --> 0:25:49.359 five plus yard or forty five plus attempted game, and 0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:52.280 that plays right into the hands of Dan Quinn and 0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:55.400 this defense. So looking at some of the top targets 0:25:55.800 --> 0:25:59.600 that have been against the Cowboys so far, Terry McLaurin 0:25:59.720 --> 0:26:03.640 last week, two receptions for fifteen yards, so shut him 0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:06.680 down completely. From a Cowboys side of things, I'm not 0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:08.800 even gonna look at the Giants weapons because I don't 0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:10.640 know who you even tab as their number one guy, 0:26:10.960 --> 0:26:15.200 Jamar Chase in Week two against Cincinnati or five receptions 0:26:15.280 --> 0:26:17.800 fifty four yards, so he's still got a decent chunk, right, 0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:22.280 still decent but overall, yeah, very good. And then week 0:26:22.359 --> 0:26:25.320 one Mike Evans had five for seventy one and a touchdown, 0:26:25.960 --> 0:26:27.879 really the touchdown, and there was like one drive in 0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:29.800 there where he had success. For the most part, Dallas 0:26:29.840 --> 0:26:31.960 has had a really good done a really good job 0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:35.000 on the edge of slowing down these top targets. Why 0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:37.920 is this different though? With Cooper Cup most targeted in 0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:40.440 the NFL by like fifty targets since Week one of 0:26:40.560 --> 0:26:42.960 last year over Tyreek Hill, He's had two hundred and 0:26:43.040 --> 0:26:46.480 eighty seven targets since Week one last year. Tyreek Hill 0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:48.520 is second in the NFL with two hundred and thirty. 0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:51.680 Cooper Cups still getting his yardage, still getting his receptions 0:26:51.960 --> 0:26:53.960 even though they know the football's going his way. Why 0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:55.760 is that different than some of the other opponents of 0:26:55.800 --> 0:26:58.399 Cowboys have faced, Because you get Cooper Cup can run 0:26:58.480 --> 0:27:03.520 routes from all over the place, and him McVey puts 0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:07.720 him in so many situations to be successful. There's it's 0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:09.600 really hard to scheme him up. If you go back 0:27:09.600 --> 0:27:12.520 and watch any of the film last year, this year, 0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:14.720 or whatever year you want to in regards to Cooper Cup. 0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:18.200 This dude's outside, he's inside, he's stacked, he's on the ball, 0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:20.679 he's off the ball, he's out the backfield, he's in motion, 0:27:20.840 --> 0:27:23.399 he's shifted. You don't know where the hector's dude is 0:27:23.440 --> 0:27:26.320 that so you can't scheme him up versus Mike Evans, 0:27:26.400 --> 0:27:28.920 where he's gonna be at outside, jamar Chades, where he's 0:27:28.920 --> 0:27:31.160 gonna be at in the slot or outside, Like, it's 0:27:31.320 --> 0:27:33.879 pretty predictable in terms of game playing. Okay, if he's outside, 0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:35.160 this is what we're doing. If he comes at the slot, 0:27:35.240 --> 0:27:37.840 this is what we're doing. Cooper Cup. There's so many, 0:27:37.840 --> 0:27:39.879 there's formations you can't even you got to create names for. 0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:42.200 Let these guys come out in and they're doing it 0:27:42.280 --> 0:27:45.080 just because you can't. You can't scheme him. You can't. 0:27:45.320 --> 0:27:47.200 You can't in and out him, you can't man and 0:27:47.280 --> 0:27:50.280 man him, you can't zone him. He's gonna get the ball. 0:27:51.040 --> 0:27:52.800 What you want to do is it is simply just 0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:55.119 make sure that he doesn't get behind you. That's the 0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:57.680 biggest name of Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup's gonna get ten catches. 0:27:58.280 --> 0:27:59.960 He's gonna get ten catches. Cut are gonna throw the 0:28:00.000 --> 0:28:02.159 all to him fifteen times, and it's just it is 0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:05.240 what it is. Yeah, twenty times and the nineteen times 0:28:05.359 --> 0:28:07.960 last week. So you accept that there's certain guys that 0:28:08.000 --> 0:28:10.119 are just going to get the rock because they're just 0:28:10.280 --> 0:28:12.280 that good. Cooper Cup's the top five receiver, much like 0:28:12.480 --> 0:28:15.879 Mike Evans and March. Those guys are really good. But 0:28:16.000 --> 0:28:19.400 those guys are limited because of how they utilized within 0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:22.560 their offense. They're able to make big plays from those 0:28:22.640 --> 0:28:26.879 particular positions. Versus Cup, he make plays from anywhere. How 0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:29.760 does Dallas combat that though? Keep them in front of you, 0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:32.160 keep them in front of you, and like you said, 0:28:32.280 --> 0:28:35.240 stop the running game. You can't shut I don't know 0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:37.959 at the time anybody's ever shut down Cooper Cup. I mean, 0:28:38.000 --> 0:28:39.800 it hasn't happened since last year, That's what I'm saying, 0:28:39.840 --> 0:28:41.400 Like you, just it's hard. It's a hard guy to 0:28:41.440 --> 0:28:45.520 shut down. He's everywhere, and you just accept the fact that, Okay, 0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:47.440 he's just keep them in front of us, let him 0:28:47.480 --> 0:28:49.120 have the ball. Just don't let them get past of 0:28:49.160 --> 0:28:52.280 your hard markers, right, Yeah. Because the great example is 0:28:52.280 --> 0:28:54.440 the last drive in the Super Bowl, Like everybody knew 0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:57.360 where it's going in it didn't matter. And that's why 0:28:57.480 --> 0:28:59.400 part of me's like nineteen targets, will I kind of 0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:01.800 get it, like he is always open, I mean ninety 0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:05.080 five percent of the time. The guys he's he's created space. 0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:08.640 Even when he's not open, he's open. Yeah, But the 0:29:08.760 --> 0:29:10.720 pick six at the end was a product of you 0:29:10.760 --> 0:29:14.640 don't have enough balance in your offense, and they Sanrancisco 0:29:14.720 --> 0:29:16.600 knew where the ball was going, and they a great 0:29:16.640 --> 0:29:19.760 anticipation and they are random play a thousand times that day. 0:29:19.840 --> 0:29:21.800 So that's one of the reasons why that the times 0:29:21.840 --> 0:29:24.520 are probably getting on McVey right now, because not only 0:29:24.720 --> 0:29:28.360 did they not distribute the ball evenly enough throughout all 0:29:28.400 --> 0:29:30.360 the different options they have on offense, but they were 0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:32.240 running a lot of the same type of plays. They 0:29:32.360 --> 0:29:35.240 ran a ton of screens, a ton of outside screens, 0:29:35.280 --> 0:29:37.920 so it was very easy to read. Those indicators were 0:29:37.960 --> 0:29:41.720 easy for the defenders. He's gonna have he's going. Mcvay's 0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:44.080 such a competitor, he's gonna mix it up, right, So 0:29:44.600 --> 0:29:46.960 you just want to limit what they can do. Shut 0:29:47.080 --> 0:29:49.520 down to run, keep cup in front of you. Don't 0:29:49.600 --> 0:29:52.000 let Al Robinson getting no dog on confidence, because that's 0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:54.080 not the guy you want to get confidence this week 0:29:54.120 --> 0:29:56.000 because he can't hurt you. Right, he has shown the 0:29:56.000 --> 0:29:58.800 ability regardless of what he's done this year. He's still quick, 0:29:58.920 --> 0:30:01.160 he's still explosive. I don't care what the reports are 0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:03.560 about that guy. Just don't let him start catching a ball. 0:30:04.120 --> 0:30:07.160 Is this kind of a long time coming sort of 0:30:07.240 --> 0:30:09.800 deal for Sean McVay though, and Matthew Stafford Because you 0:30:09.840 --> 0:30:12.480 look back at the start of last year or all 0:30:12.560 --> 0:30:15.160 of last year, Matthew Stafford was tied with the most 0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:17.840 interceptions in the NFL with Trevor Lawrence. He threw seventeen 0:30:17.880 --> 0:30:20.120 picks last year. Now he threw forty touchdown passes, so 0:30:20.160 --> 0:30:21.840 it makes up for it a little bit. But he 0:30:21.960 --> 0:30:24.680 had seventeen picks last year, tied for the most. Right 0:30:24.720 --> 0:30:27.240 now he has the most with six in four touchdowns. 0:30:27.280 --> 0:30:29.920 He hasn't had a season where he's thrown more interceptions 0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:32.760 than more touchdowns since his rookie campaign with the Lions 0:30:32.760 --> 0:30:37.120 back in like oh nine. So is this just finally 0:30:37.240 --> 0:30:39.560 teams are starting to read it. I know last year 0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:41.480 he threw the most amount of interceptions and they still 0:30:41.480 --> 0:30:44.160 won the Super Bowl. But is this something that's a 0:30:44.280 --> 0:30:46.360 problem for the Rams that's even bigger than what the 0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:48.200 Cowboys are going to show out this week? Well, I 0:30:48.280 --> 0:30:50.440 think you're writing that Stafford will throw it up. I mean, 0:30:50.440 --> 0:30:52.600 he's done it throughout his career. He's gonna take chances. 0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:55.320 I think I think the pick at the end was 0:30:55.400 --> 0:30:57.640 a product that was a safe throw. That's just like 0:30:58.600 --> 0:31:00.760 I think copy at nine times out of ten. Yeah, 0:31:00.800 --> 0:31:02.440 and a lot of those screens. I think you look 0:31:02.480 --> 0:31:05.200 back to the Washington game against the Cowboys, they screened 0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:07.640 a ton and it's because they didn't trust their protection 0:31:07.720 --> 0:31:09.479 and they're trying to get the ball quick out as 0:31:09.520 --> 0:31:11.120 fast as possible. And I think that's some of what 0:31:11.440 --> 0:31:13.440 McVeigh was trying to do in that game. You look 0:31:13.440 --> 0:31:15.320 at the one that he almost got picked in the 0:31:15.440 --> 0:31:18.880 end zone to Higbee. You know, if he missed a 0:31:18.920 --> 0:31:20.560 lot of throws. He did miss some throws, and if 0:31:20.600 --> 0:31:23.040 he on that one though with his progression, he might 0:31:23.120 --> 0:31:25.760 have had Henderson for a touchdown if the protection was 0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:28.760 there just a tick longer. There's probably about three throws 0:31:28.800 --> 0:31:30.440 that I could think of right off the back in 0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:33.560 that game where he just wishes he had that ball back, Yeah, 0:31:33.560 --> 0:31:36.680 because guys Higbee was wide open. I think couple was 0:31:36.680 --> 0:31:38.160 opened on a few Like there was a couple of 0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:40.840 balls where just like Dang released the ball wrong, you know, 0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:43.160 and it's like those are yeah, I mean, and they happened, right, 0:31:43.240 --> 0:31:46.120 it happened. But those are plays like they're leaving plays 0:31:46.160 --> 0:31:47.880 on the fields. So I don't want to make it 0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:50.400 seem as if these guys just they're just trash, are terrible. 0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:52.920 They their offense is not clicking there at the bottom 0:31:52.920 --> 0:31:54.800 of the league, and every dog on the category offensively 0:31:54.880 --> 0:31:57.800 right now. That is the total opposite of what we've 0:31:57.840 --> 0:32:00.920 come to know about the Rams and McVeigh and Stafford 0:32:01.240 --> 0:32:03.880 in his time with the as a Ram, he's gonna 0:32:03.920 --> 0:32:06.600 he's missed some throws as a competitor, as a professional, 0:32:06.760 --> 0:32:09.760 you go back and you make those corrections. As a 0:32:09.920 --> 0:32:12.400 defense for the Dallas Cowboys, you want to continue to 0:32:12.440 --> 0:32:14.440 do what you've been doing. It every other team forced 0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:16.320 Stafford to be in the same situation he was in 0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:19.160 last week where he wanted to where they had to 0:32:19.200 --> 0:32:21.120 change offensive scheme because he can't sit back there and 0:32:21.240 --> 0:32:22.800 throw the ball. He has to get it out on 0:32:22.840 --> 0:32:24.080 the edge. Just they have to get the ball out 0:32:24.080 --> 0:32:26.080 of their hand quickly. You shut down the running game. 0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:28.160 You limit them to, you know, to these type of 0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:31.480 quick throws. Now you can start a process of elimination 0:32:31.520 --> 0:32:33.400 in terms of what they can and can't do. I know, 0:32:33.560 --> 0:32:35.960 as a defensive back, I can sit at ten yards 0:32:36.000 --> 0:32:37.760 and come downhill because they're not gonna have the ball 0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:40.160 have time to throw the ball beyond me, right, So 0:32:40.840 --> 0:32:42.600 you want to limit them in that regard so that 0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:45.480 you can start making plays. Dallas does what they've been doing, 0:32:45.600 --> 0:32:48.400 they'll be perfectly fine. But you still have to respect 0:32:48.440 --> 0:32:51.640 the fact that not only are these guys capable, we've 0:32:51.720 --> 0:32:54.560 seen it, and we've seen it last year and they've 0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:56.720 had a lot of change offensively in terms of offensive line. 0:32:56.720 --> 0:32:58.840 You guys just touched on that. They are hurting there. 0:32:58.960 --> 0:33:02.680 You know, nobody's talking about You're wet Worth either, Yeah, 0:33:02.720 --> 0:33:05.959 to retirement and that that's what you need is if 0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:08.480 you're the Cowboys, you need to make sure that you 0:33:08.640 --> 0:33:11.240 understand when it comes to Matthew Stafford, you need to 0:33:11.320 --> 0:33:13.800 shorten his clock. If you shorten his clock, he will 0:33:13.880 --> 0:33:15.720 give you the ball. If you shorten his clock, he 0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:17.640 will give you the ball. That is that is the 0:33:18.160 --> 0:33:22.240 blueprint from Matthew Stafford. And you talk about protection or 0:33:22.360 --> 0:33:24.880 lack thereof the reason they're leaving plays on the field, 0:33:24.920 --> 0:33:27.560 it's it's not by accident. It's because the clock has 0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:29.600 been shortened, so he doesn't have time to go through 0:33:29.640 --> 0:33:32.560 the progressions to see what he's seen later on film. 0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:35.280 All guy, you know, I should have hit Higbee here. 0:33:35.280 --> 0:33:37.200 I should have. You know. The reason he can't in 0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:39.760 real time is because guys are bearing down on him. 0:33:39.880 --> 0:33:42.040 This is also a Cowboys defense that has yet to 0:33:42.120 --> 0:33:44.920 allow twenty points in a game. This plays into the 0:33:44.920 --> 0:33:48.360 Cowboys favor because, first of all, again respect the Rams 0:33:48.400 --> 0:33:50.680 and what they can do, because Matthew Stafford could easily 0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:52.520 come out of being an all pro on any given Sunday. 0:33:52.720 --> 0:33:54.680 But this is how you keep prevent that from happening. 0:33:54.920 --> 0:33:57.560 But also this Rams defense or offense, I should say, 0:33:57.760 --> 0:34:01.240 they've only scored twenty points or they score twenty points fewer, 0:34:02.240 --> 0:34:05.400 and three of their first four games ye ten points 0:34:05.520 --> 0:34:08.600 or fewer. In two of those first four they're simply 0:34:08.640 --> 0:34:10.800 I don't know if they're asleep, or if it's a 0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:14.400 combination of them being asleep trying to jar themselves awake, 0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:17.239 or if it's simply you don't have the horses up 0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:20.160 front to give you the time to find to let 0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:22.960 Cooper Cup get behind you, right, because in order to 0:34:23.040 --> 0:34:25.360 run a goal route, to get behind your safeties, the 0:34:25.480 --> 0:34:28.759 quarterback needs time in the pocket to deliver that ball. 0:34:28.920 --> 0:34:31.359 And when you don't have it, those goal routes, those 0:34:31.360 --> 0:34:34.760 would be goal routes, didn't become hooks and flats and screens, 0:34:34.800 --> 0:34:39.200 and the field starts shrinking vertically and then you can 0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:41.200 tee off. I think you nail that. I think that's 0:34:41.239 --> 0:34:43.920 what's happening with Carson. Carson Wentz has guys that can 0:34:43.960 --> 0:34:45.839 make plays down the field. They just didn't give them 0:34:45.840 --> 0:34:48.720 any time the last couple of weeks, and Marcus Mosher 0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:51.960 put out on Twitter, I think their lowest big play team, 0:34:52.000 --> 0:34:54.680 the Rams are right now. It's sixteen explosive play so far. 0:34:54.840 --> 0:34:58.319 That's that's a product of the protection. Probably and we've 0:34:58.360 --> 0:35:00.320 met I think you teas Alan Robinson and he's a 0:35:00.400 --> 0:35:02.000 new guy in the in the offense, and they just 0:35:02.120 --> 0:35:04.560 maybe it's just a matter of connection nut clicking yet. Yeah, 0:35:04.640 --> 0:35:07.280 I've got some really interesting stats about how this RAMS 0:35:07.320 --> 0:35:10.080 team is different than what it has been under Sean 0:35:10.160 --> 0:35:11.520 mcvagh in the past, and I'm gonna hit it on 0:35:11.560 --> 0:35:12.839 the other side of the break. And we're also going 0:35:12.880 --> 0:35:15.520 to talk about how can this pass rush take advantage 0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:17.759 of that RAMS offensive line when we've come back with 0:35:17.880 --> 0:35:22.680 more talking cowboys presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company.

Yeah, we 0:38:30.840 --> 0:38:34.560 have like three extras of the Ski Christmas Christians. I 0:38:34.680 --> 0:38:39.280 like it. That's from Jip Jazz's desk Hey, Jip Jazz, 0:38:39.480 --> 0:38:42.839 All right back here, final segment here talking Cowboys. Chris Beam, 0:38:42.880 --> 0:38:45.320 you just heard him, Rob Phillips, Isaiah standing back, Patrick Walker, 0:38:45.600 --> 0:38:48.919 Kyle Yeoman's all right. With the Cowboys win this week, 0:38:49.320 --> 0:38:52.560 Sean McVay will be under five hundred for the first 0:38:52.600 --> 0:38:54.759 time after Week two or later. In the entire time 0:38:54.840 --> 0:38:56.279 of his tenure as the head coach of the Los 0:38:56.320 --> 0:38:59.840 Angeles Rams, he's never had a losing record. Actually, the 0:39:00.040 --> 0:39:02.719 worst record he ever had was in Week sixteen of 0:39:02.800 --> 0:39:05.600 twenty nineteen, he was eight and seven. That's the worst 0:39:05.640 --> 0:39:08.600 record he's had as the Rams head coach after week two. 0:39:09.440 --> 0:39:12.279 So it's been a while since the Cowboy or since 0:39:12.320 --> 0:39:15.040 the Rams have been under five hundred, and the Cowboys 0:39:15.120 --> 0:39:19.319 could get him there with that moving into this week now, 0:39:19.840 --> 0:39:22.600 you also talk about the way that their offensive line 0:39:23.080 --> 0:39:26.720 has not been playing well. Rams currently have a minus 0:39:26.800 --> 0:39:29.520 twenty four point deferential in twenty twenty two, after having 0:39:29.560 --> 0:39:32.440 a positive point deferential through four games in each of 0:39:32.520 --> 0:39:36.600 the first five seasons under Sean mcvayh their lowest prior 0:39:36.640 --> 0:39:39.200 to this year was plus thirteen, So that's what like 0:39:39.280 --> 0:39:42.000 a thirty five point difference thirty seven point difference something 0:39:42.040 --> 0:39:46.560 like that. That it's different now with Sean McVay. This 0:39:46.719 --> 0:39:49.719 doesn't look like the same team. Where's the weakness of 0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:52.600 that offensive line? Patrick? Because Dallas is going to get 0:39:52.600 --> 0:39:54.400 after teams. We've already seen that through the first four 0:39:54.440 --> 0:39:55.879 weeks of the year. How are they going to get 0:39:55.880 --> 0:39:58.120 after the rams? Well, WHI should terrify the rams is 0:39:58.160 --> 0:40:01.240 the weakness. The biggest weakness is not simply the interior 0:40:01.280 --> 0:40:04.280 of the offensive line. It's more specifically the center position, 0:40:04.400 --> 0:40:08.160 which is critical, critical to making sure that I mean, 0:40:08.200 --> 0:40:10.040 you talk about time we were talking about the long 0:40:10.120 --> 0:40:13.200 snapper situation. You talk about your quarterback having trust in 0:40:13.239 --> 0:40:16.759 the center and that particularly on shotgun formations, that that 0:40:16.800 --> 0:40:18.480 ball is going to be there timely. The cadence is 0:40:18.480 --> 0:40:20.560 going to be understood. Asaiah spoken a lot about cadence 0:40:20.640 --> 0:40:22.719 this season. All of that stuff matters. And now you're 0:40:22.800 --> 0:40:25.960 you're going to your third string center, and when that 0:40:26.120 --> 0:40:29.879 third string center walks up, he's trying to over He's 0:40:29.880 --> 0:40:32.120 going to over process because he's trying not to make 0:40:32.160 --> 0:40:33.920 a mistake, which is why he's probably going to make 0:40:33.960 --> 0:40:36.280 a mistake. Now that could be a poor snap, whatever 0:40:36.320 --> 0:40:37.920 the case may be. But not only does he have 0:40:38.000 --> 0:40:39.880 to make sure that the timing and the rhythm that 0:40:39.920 --> 0:40:43.600 he understands Stafford's cadence correctly, but he also then has 0:40:43.640 --> 0:40:46.120 to understand that once he flips his head up, look 0:40:46.400 --> 0:40:48.960 look who he's staring at. He's staring at Neville Gallimore 0:40:49.000 --> 0:40:52.080 and ohso Diggi Zoua and Quentin Bohanna and Chauncey Ghost 0:40:52.160 --> 0:40:55.840 and and good luck young man. So I don't I 0:40:55.960 --> 0:40:58.760 think that you look at the interior of the offensive 0:40:58.800 --> 0:41:00.720 line for the Rams, you look at the center position, 0:41:00.840 --> 0:41:02.920 third stringer coming in, who's not you know, that's not 0:41:03.000 --> 0:41:07.120 his base position. That's a major major problem in Stafford already. 0:41:07.400 --> 0:41:10.000 You know quite as it's kept maybe loud as it's uh. 0:41:11.040 --> 0:41:13.319 He doesn't trust those guys up front, and you're seeing 0:41:13.400 --> 0:41:15.400 it on film. And now you're gonna throw a third 0:41:15.440 --> 0:41:18.759 string center in front of him against some horses from 0:41:18.880 --> 0:41:21.120 dan Quinn. The trust is going to the trust level 0:41:21.200 --> 0:41:24.160 is gonna go down that much more so in week five. 0:41:24.360 --> 0:41:26.800 And you know the pork chop is tender in the center. 0:41:27.920 --> 0:41:31.680 Cowboys just have to eat a hole through it. Ronnie, Yeah, yeh, 0:41:32.000 --> 0:41:35.000 I got none for you. Okay, why these guys are 0:41:35.000 --> 0:41:37.800 in a bad position and Dallas Cowboys in a good position. 0:41:38.080 --> 0:41:40.680 It's just you had something last week whenever Washington was 0:41:40.719 --> 0:41:44.040 in a bad position. Tell me, tell me about him. No, 0:41:44.160 --> 0:41:46.440 I mean they're just like you said. I think that 0:41:46.560 --> 0:41:51.120 you have to be conscious and cautious about coming in there, 0:41:51.200 --> 0:41:54.360 like like sleepy, Joe, don't be don't be sleepy walking 0:41:54.400 --> 0:41:57.319 in here to play them at home with their backs 0:41:57.360 --> 0:41:59.719 against the wall, with the city against some with a 0:41:59.800 --> 0:42:03.480 super competitive coach, super really with really good players offensively 0:42:03.520 --> 0:42:06.800 and defensively. They have their problems, right A lot of 0:42:06.840 --> 0:42:09.239 teams have their problems right now, injuries, whatever it may be. 0:42:10.520 --> 0:42:14.320 But you're talking about the defendant champs, so put some 0:42:14.440 --> 0:42:17.120 respect on it. Not only are they defendant champs or 0:42:17.160 --> 0:42:19.640 defendive champs with the same coach, the same superstars, they 0:42:19.640 --> 0:42:22.640 added more superstars and they're playing at the crib where 0:42:22.680 --> 0:42:26.880 they won the Super Bowl. So you don't be confident, 0:42:27.320 --> 0:42:30.200 don't be cocky. Yeah, you know, be confident, don't be cocky. 0:42:30.239 --> 0:42:33.399 And I heard I think was it King Griffey Junior 0:42:33.440 --> 0:42:36.080 yesterday was on the Pivot and he said, what do 0:42:36.160 --> 0:42:40.359 you say? He said, confident is is knowing that you're 0:42:40.400 --> 0:42:42.800 good at something, and cocky is when you feel that 0:42:42.880 --> 0:42:46.680 you have to tell everybody, Yeah, just just just know 0:42:47.320 --> 0:42:49.120 just going there and know that you're good, know that 0:42:49.239 --> 0:42:50.680 things are clicking, no that things that are on the 0:42:50.800 --> 0:42:53.040 up and up. Go out there and they're they're wounded, 0:42:53.880 --> 0:42:57.120 they're wounded, go out there and expose it. Usually it's 0:42:57.160 --> 0:43:01.120 teams that have a target on the Cowboys back just 0:43:01.200 --> 0:43:06.920 because the brashness of the brand and the visibility that 0:43:07.000 --> 0:43:11.719 they bring. But are they even able to be confident 0:43:11.840 --> 0:43:14.960 and or cocky either one after the three game waiting streak? 0:43:15.000 --> 0:43:17.520 Have they earned that right yet? I don't get the 0:43:17.560 --> 0:43:20.160 sense that anybody on this team is cocky it. That's 0:43:20.239 --> 0:43:21.800 kind of what I'm thinking. I mean, that's kind of 0:43:21.800 --> 0:43:23.920 where I'm leading. I don't think they've earned that right yet, 0:43:24.040 --> 0:43:26.520 especially to go up and be too confident and overly 0:43:26.600 --> 0:43:29.239 confident against the La Rams who just won a Super Bowl, right. 0:43:29.440 --> 0:43:33.359 I mean, there's been times where the Cowboys and Dak 0:43:33.400 --> 0:43:35.279 has even said it, where they've you know, they kind 0:43:35.280 --> 0:43:37.160 of feeling themselves a little bit when they've gone on 0:43:37.200 --> 0:43:40.120 a win streak. It's happened before. I don't think that's 0:43:40.160 --> 0:43:42.279 the case, because I think it shouldn't be the case 0:43:42.360 --> 0:43:46.000 because clearly offensively, there's things that they are limited at. 0:43:46.320 --> 0:43:49.200 They got they got some continued issue, Like there's things 0:43:49.280 --> 0:43:51.680 you can point to this Washington game where you're like, hey, 0:43:51.760 --> 0:43:53.960 the protection up front, the running game, we couldn't get 0:43:54.000 --> 0:43:57.600 that going defensively leaking a lot of run yards. They 0:43:57.680 --> 0:43:59.640 need to get more takeaways. Like there's a lot of 0:43:59.680 --> 0:44:02.040 stuff on film that even dan Quinn can point to 0:44:02.120 --> 0:44:03.680 and be like, we can be better at this, better 0:44:03.719 --> 0:44:06.120 at this. There's a ton of room for improvement, even 0:44:06.160 --> 0:44:08.600 on the defensive side of the ball. They shouldn't be cocky, 0:44:08.760 --> 0:44:11.120 they should be confident because I think they know they're good. 0:44:11.680 --> 0:44:14.640 But yeah, Isaiah's right, like, you gotta put respect on 0:44:14.640 --> 0:44:16.959 the rams. This is not the first time that people 0:44:17.000 --> 0:44:20.000 have said Sean McVeigh has been figured out. It's not 0:44:20.160 --> 0:44:22.600 the first time, and they'll be back. He's probably one 0:44:22.640 --> 0:44:26.120 of the most I mean, you think about the most creative, 0:44:26.360 --> 0:44:29.840 ingenious minds offensively in the league, you mcveigh's name comes up, 0:44:29.960 --> 0:44:32.160 no doubt. So for him to be at the bottom, 0:44:32.239 --> 0:44:34.840 and you know how competitive he is, he's whether he 0:44:34.920 --> 0:44:37.080 was the youngest coach youngest head coach or whatever is 0:44:37.120 --> 0:44:39.920 at some point in time, this dude is he's confident, 0:44:40.200 --> 0:44:43.759 he's freaking competitive, he's infatuated with the game. This is 0:44:43.880 --> 0:44:45.719 not what you're talking about young coaches. And I guess 0:44:45.760 --> 0:44:48.520 I'll make this comparison. Was a Klingsberg? Was the name 0:44:48.560 --> 0:44:51.920 was Kingsberry? Yeah, King I can't say his name, Kingsberry 0:44:52.160 --> 0:44:57.360 disrespect Okay, in Arizona, both young coaches, both offensive minds. 0:44:57.719 --> 0:45:00.799 One of them you just hold in a high regard, right, 0:45:00.920 --> 0:45:02.560 one of them you just holding a high regard because 0:45:02.560 --> 0:45:04.880 you're like, if this dude gets knocked down, like dang it, 0:45:04.960 --> 0:45:07.120 like watch out, Like he's probably gonna be pissed off. 0:45:07.640 --> 0:45:09.759 And this like if there if there's any coach in 0:45:09.800 --> 0:45:12.520 the league that you feel that way about, is this 0:45:12.680 --> 0:45:16.279 guy right here? Yeah? I mean McVeigh isn't figured out. 0:45:16.360 --> 0:45:19.839 I mean that he continues to prove that time and again. 0:45:20.120 --> 0:45:21.880 But it kind of goes back to a hearking back 0:45:21.880 --> 0:45:24.759 to our conversation about Brian Dable. Right, all right, you 0:45:25.360 --> 0:45:28.440 have one of the better brighter football minds in the 0:45:28.600 --> 0:45:31.520 NFL that you're going against. Respect that respect, that respect 0:45:31.600 --> 0:45:35.320 that at the end of the day, personnel, and it 0:45:35.480 --> 0:45:38.839 matters until it doesn't matter, and it doesn't matter when 0:45:38.880 --> 0:45:41.360 it comes down to personnel and execution. And you you 0:45:41.440 --> 0:45:43.879 saw McVeigh throwing some of his players under the bus 0:45:44.040 --> 0:45:45.719 in the press conference after the loss of the forty 0:45:45.800 --> 0:45:48.000 nine is by basically saying, the guys we expected to 0:45:48.000 --> 0:45:49.640 step up didn't do what we wanted them to do. 0:45:50.640 --> 0:45:52.759 It right, you got to love it. But at the 0:45:52.800 --> 0:45:55.720 same time that tells you that to a large degree, 0:45:56.600 --> 0:45:59.000 it matters the scheme and all of this, it matters, 0:45:59.040 --> 0:46:01.840 it matters, it matters. But if your horses are not 0:46:02.080 --> 0:46:05.920 built to stop these dogs, then your horses are going 0:46:06.040 --> 0:46:08.759 to be sandwich meat. That's just what it comes down to. 0:46:08.960 --> 0:46:12.919 And there's no variation at any given Sunday, caveat any 0:46:12.960 --> 0:46:17.040 given Sunday. But there's nothing that I see personnel to 0:46:17.120 --> 0:46:20.400 personnel wise offensive line of defensive line. And then you 0:46:20.520 --> 0:46:23.839 throw in Michael Parsons in the world's wado for Matt 0:46:23.880 --> 0:46:27.719 where's he at? Where's Hett? And Michael Parsons, by the way, 0:46:27.960 --> 0:46:31.759 hasn't had a technical sack and I'd say technical a 0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:36.680 technical sack in two games. He's not cocky, he wants 0:46:37.200 --> 0:46:40.080 he's out for blood. This defense wants to improve Tank 0:46:40.320 --> 0:46:42.960 they were up. When he was frustrated about not stopping 0:46:43.000 --> 0:46:44.920 the run. He wasn't over there like, oh, well we're up, 0:46:45.000 --> 0:46:46.360 you know, let him have no He was like, we 0:46:46.480 --> 0:46:50.040 have to stop the run. This defense is just monstrous, 0:46:50.680 --> 0:46:53.640 and they're going against an offensive line that is exceedingly porous, 0:46:54.239 --> 0:46:56.759 and there is a quarterback behind that offensive line that 0:46:56.880 --> 0:46:59.759 has shown you when you shrink his clock, he will 0:46:59.800 --> 0:47:02.600 get view the ball. This is a winnable game for 0:47:02.760 --> 0:47:05.880 the Cowboys in a stadium that should be heavily populated 0:47:05.920 --> 0:47:09.439 with Cowboys fans, even with the Super Bowl champs in town. 0:47:10.000 --> 0:47:12.680 They're just there, what seven eight weeks ago? Yeah, yeah, 0:47:12.719 --> 0:47:16.200 we were. So I'm glad we have this conversation now 0:47:16.400 --> 0:47:18.520 because if you were going to overlook a part of 0:47:18.560 --> 0:47:20.439 the offense or a part of the Rams, it would 0:47:20.440 --> 0:47:23.320 be their offense. And Sean McVay is gonna pick that 0:47:23.400 --> 0:47:26.480 up and it's gonna be there. You're gonna have some challenges. 0:47:27.040 --> 0:47:30.520 You cannot overlook the Rams defense. Though they've been playing 0:47:30.680 --> 0:47:33.960 really well, they're gonna be tough to get past at 0:47:34.000 --> 0:47:36.600 any point throughout the season, especially this week when you're 0:47:36.600 --> 0:47:39.040 still trying to get back on track on your offensive 0:47:39.080 --> 0:47:41.360 side of the football. We're gonna preview that matchup tomorrow 0:47:41.760 --> 0:47:44.440 right here on Talking Cowboys Special thanks to our friends 0:47:44.719 --> 0:47:47.040 at Black Rifle Coffee Company.
