Speaker 6: You get it. You get a whole scoop of Black
Speaker 6: Rifle Coffee cup.
Speaker 7: Black rifle, coffee, toss it into your mouth and get
Speaker 7: it some some some lukewarm more okay, and.
Speaker 1: The savage mode. The savage mode.
Speaker 3: I've seen people do that, do workout, but not not cock.
Speaker 1: Let's do it, animal mod.
Speaker 6: Let's do it one day.
Speaker 8: I've had worse.
Speaker 7: Hey, if the Cowboys win, Cowboys win this weekend against
Speaker 7: the forty nine ers in San Francisco Territory, we do
Speaker 7: black rifle, coffee shop.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, let's do it.
Speaker 3: That's espresso, let's do it.
Speaker 7: Boom to that, you know what, get on that whatever,
Speaker 7: I'll do it.
Speaker 3: Let's go for it. It's good, it's don't you don't.
Speaker 1: Don't put me in a position to piss off REPONSI
Speaker 1: Twitter knows you.
Speaker 2: That's fine, Okay, black rifle, coffee, coffee, apple, juice, child water.
Speaker 1: We said water water with that deal like like an adult.
Speaker 3: Well like Isaiah.
Speaker 9: Isaiah didn't like coffee until he started having black rifles.
Speaker 3: Fact that that's really good.
Speaker 10: I also remember Isaiah took that up black rifle that
Speaker 10: I needed.
Speaker 3: Man, he was twitches.
Speaker 8: You had coffee, genuinely.
Speaker 6: I found it.
Speaker 1: Can It's been about a decade.
Speaker 10: But that being said, before I finally gave up on it.
Speaker 10: I tried every variation, so everybody can miss me with
Speaker 10: tho the cold brew and you didn't do it this way.
Speaker 10: I've tried all the variations.
Speaker 2: Have you tried, like like black rifle, like the actual
Speaker 2: can really it's good as it's not very coffee, So
Speaker 2: let me we may try like a little tiny well
Speaker 2: what if that's the bat for you? You a regular
Speaker 2: like a little pore of coffee, just to do it?
Speaker 3: Do it now, as.
Speaker 11: Long as the last coffee you tried wasn't like an
Speaker 11: adult milkshake that you know what I'm saying, Like the
Speaker 11: frappuccinos with the.
Speaker 1: It wasn't the shake.
Speaker 10: It wasn't that, It wasn't the whole Starbucks thing was
Speaker 10: not really coffee as much as it is everything in
Speaker 10: there except coffee.
Speaker 1: It definitely was ten dollars.
Speaker 7: It definitely wasn't rifle. My wife actually just did a
Speaker 7: black rifle code brew thing. I don't know what it's
Speaker 7: called right now.
Speaker 1: Listen if it's if you enjoy coffee pressed.
Speaker 3: Quite remember, yeah, I just like it's all black rifle coffee.
Speaker 10: Funny thing though, is I love how coffee smells like
Speaker 10: I love how coffee ground smell. I just don't like
Speaker 10: to taste. It's just funny. It's the opposite of parmesan.
Speaker 10: Parmesan smells like the worst, but.
Speaker 3: It tastes so see, And that's why.
Speaker 2: That's why I think, if we're gonna do an entire
Speaker 2: ground coffee shots, yeah, warm lukewater, lukewarm water. If that's
Speaker 2: the bet that we end up making for ourselves to
Speaker 2: celebrate the cowboys wins. I think if we were to
Speaker 2: get you a shot member, you got to come here
Speaker 2: for that and fill it up a third of the
Speaker 2: way a shot glass third of the way with that
Speaker 2: that can of black rifle, and you just take that.
Speaker 2: I think it'd be totally fine.
Speaker 10: I have just to join the friends back home in
Speaker 10: Georgia that has no whole life. They're watching this and
Speaker 10: they're laughing because they're like, you're not going to peer pressure.
Speaker 1: I'm that guy so anti pressure too.
Speaker 3: Well, that's not even what we're trying.
Speaker 7: But I gave it, just trying to icy to be
Speaker 7: anti coffee, and I gave rifle a chance, and.
Speaker 6: I said, hey, this is not bad.
Speaker 10: I actually like, yeah, I was absolutely trying to sell
Speaker 10: me a car right now.
Speaker 3: I'm not anywhere.
Speaker 2: You're not going to have to pay me three hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty five dollars a month to drink your black
Speaker 2: rifle coffee.
Speaker 3: It's take a sip of.
Speaker 1: Coffee now, Josh is like only three fifty five?
Speaker 3: What kind of car do you think? That's what fee?
Speaker 1: So look kind of poverty?
Speaker 3: All right, give us some news and notes, Pat do it?
Speaker 1: Indeed? All right?
Speaker 10: So first and foremost, let's start by saying, Jordan Phillips
Speaker 10: his twenty one day practice window has been activated. So
Speaker 10: the Cowboys will have twenty one days from yesterday's practice
Speaker 10: to decide if they're going to add Jordan Phillips back
Speaker 10: to the act of fifty three man roster or if
Speaker 10: they're going to revert him to season ending ir As
Speaker 10: far as if how he feels, I'll let you, guys
Speaker 10: ask him that when you see him out in the
Speaker 10: grocery store. I'm sure he'll be more than happy to
Speaker 10: tell you. As far as how soon he can come back. Now,
Speaker 10: Brandon Aubrey, he did not practice yesterday, but unique situation.
Speaker 10: Brandon Aubrey is serving jury duty on a felony case
Speaker 10: in Terrent County. Wow, so not injury related. That's the
Speaker 10: good news. No timetable on when that case will wrap up,
Speaker 10: but I've had a couple of conversations and there is
Speaker 10: no expectation that he will miss the trip to San Francisco.
Speaker 10: So hope that holds true as well, because he has
Speaker 10: been their best player hands down.
Speaker 3: You get out of jury duty for this case being
Speaker 3: so because it's a felony. This is like a strangulation
Speaker 3: case or something like.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a really serious third degree. If
Speaker 11: you do want to get out of jury duty, the
Speaker 11: only weighted or the uneasy way to do it is
Speaker 11: to have a strong opinion about anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I learned that the hard.
Speaker 3: Way because they vet you, like before him, they sit
Speaker 3: you down.
Speaker 10: The most outlandish Yeah, you know, because they'll ask you
Speaker 10: everyone's like to where Jordan's.
Speaker 3: He's not, He's not fit. If you have a.
Speaker 11: Strong opinion either way, they're automatically like, he's out, he's out,
Speaker 11: he's out.
Speaker 8: You need to be a straight arrow, down the middle guy.
Speaker 2: So you're telling me, that's the best kicker in the NFL,
Speaker 2: who's as even as anybody was selected for a felony jury.
Speaker 8: Trial, literally a perfect candidate.
Speaker 3: He like tried in the in the middle of the
Speaker 3: vet process.
Speaker 2: He's sitting there and he's like, dude, I hate It's like, Brandon, listen,
Speaker 2: we know what you're You're already on this.
Speaker 8: We know one thing. We know that Brandon Aubrey, he's
Speaker 8: not going wide left or wide right.
Speaker 3: You know what?
Speaker 1: Right, my man?
Speaker 3: That was awesome?
Speaker 8: Right down, come on, let go, all right, paren County
Speaker 8: is forward.
Speaker 3: Just anybody that's not.
Speaker 1: Outside of the metropolits forward for all right.
Speaker 10: So Deron Bland apparently still dealing with whatever that setback
Speaker 10: was the soreness that they labeled it as a couple
Speaker 10: of weeks ago. He did not participated in practice on Wednesday,
Speaker 10: so now we need to draw a red circle around
Speaker 10: him and monitor him going forward. Today being Thursday, this
Speaker 10: is the heaviest practice day. If he didn't practice on yesterday,
Speaker 10: don't know how much you would do on today. So
Speaker 10: now that's not training in the right direction as far
Speaker 10: as direct concern. Kaylin Carson part injury report. He was
Speaker 10: a full participant for the first time since suffering the
Speaker 10: shoulder injury. He's now missed what three games I believe
Speaker 10: I spoke with Kayln Carson in the locker room on yesterday.
Speaker 10: He told me that his range of motion is greatly improved,
Speaker 10: but he's still waiting to get cleared. He said, there's
Speaker 10: one to his wording, there's one more bar that he
Speaker 10: has to clear to get medically cleared as far as
Speaker 10: his range of.
Speaker 1: Motion is concerned, but he is trending toward it.
Speaker 10: We'll see how that goes though, because again Thursday is
Speaker 10: going to be the big day. As far as determining
Speaker 10: determining the trajectory of guys like Kayln Carson and Deron Blam,
Speaker 10: Ryan Flinoy Ankle, he was limited. He did some rehab
Speaker 10: work in the open portion of practice with the with
Speaker 10: Britt Brown, but then he joined practice for some reps
Speaker 10: e K. Eric Kendricks all right, he returned to practice finally, goodness,
Speaker 10: some good newsk.
Speaker 1: Returned to practice one yesterday. It was unlimited capacity.
Speaker 10: This is a rough injury. This is a rough injury portal.
Speaker 10: What did we get at least? I was Wanta said
Speaker 10: wait till we get to theirs. We spoke with Ek
Speaker 10: in the locker room on yesterday. He didn't give any
Speaker 10: in the indication in one direction of the other. As
Speaker 10: far as his availability for Sunday, other than to say
Speaker 10: that he is making progress. He does feel a lot
Speaker 10: better and he is hoping to be on the field.
Speaker 10: So some good news there. Michael Parsons not trending in
Speaker 10: the right direction right now. Did not participate on Wednesday,
Speaker 10: and Nick Vigil still battling a foot injury. He was limited.
Speaker 10: John Stevens Junior was limited on yesterday. But I wait
Speaker 10: to confirm what we're hearing, but it sounds like he
Speaker 10: left practice early yesterday with this knee injury that's listed.
Speaker 10: Doesn't seem like it's a great outlook for him, let
Speaker 10: me put it that way. So waiting to get some
Speaker 10: more information so we can confirm what's going on there.
Speaker 10: But not optimistic for the young man, which absolutely sucks
Speaker 10: for him, especially coming off of what he dealt with
Speaker 10: the torn ACL. He finally gets healthy, but he wasn't
Speaker 10: able to get on the field and now he might
Speaker 10: miss some time going forward. We'll blow through the San
Speaker 10: Francisco Oh Boy. Juwan Jennings did not participate. Kevin Givens,
Speaker 10: defensive tackle did not participate. George Kittle did not part
Speaker 10: dissipate with a foot injury. Jake Moody the kicker, did
Speaker 10: not participate with an ankle. George Odom safety did not participate.
Speaker 10: Pres Deebo Samuel did not participate as he recovers from pneumonia.
Speaker 10: Of all things, it's what a wild time in the NFL.
Speaker 10: Trent Williams was a rest day for him, so he's
Speaker 10: more or less fine. Nick Bosa elbow injury limited and
Speaker 10: Chris Connley wide receiver limited with an ankle. So both
Speaker 10: teams are exceedingly banged up. And we haven't even talked
Speaker 10: about the IR guys for the Cowboys, right, so as
Speaker 10: far as who's missing in addition to who hasn't practiced
Speaker 10: and who's trying to practice. So yeah, it's a battle
Speaker 10: of the mass units. It seems like this coming Sunday,
Speaker 10: So yeah, goodness some good news, more bad than good,
Speaker 10: and we'll see how the rest of the week plays out.
Speaker 2: At least, at least you get Kendrick's back, seemingly you
Speaker 2: still have hopefully there's some other guys that are hopefully
Speaker 2: coming back.
Speaker 3: Like it's not the end all be all.
Speaker 2: Now when we get to the Friday injury report and
Speaker 2: we start really seeing the designations.
Speaker 3: Some doubtful, Yeah, that's when it's gonna be the be
Speaker 3: all in and it'll get tough.
Speaker 2: Uh you said there, Isaiah, like it's about to be
Speaker 2: a preseason game for San Francisco, specifically both, I mean
Speaker 2: both teams, San Francisco more so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Cisco is down, but shoot, Dallas is down too.
Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, you got no d Law, you got
Speaker 7: no Micah. Okay, that's your front. Eric Kendricks, maybe I
Speaker 7: don't know. It sounds like he's kind of heading that way.
Speaker 7: Duran Bland doesn't sound good, Kayln Carson. Maybe you're talking
Speaker 7: about the range of motion and his shoulder. He can't
Speaker 7: be seatbelt if you can't uh, you can't strap it up,
Speaker 7: so you can't reach the h So that's doesn't sound
Speaker 7: great for those who have never had a shoulder issue before.
Speaker 7: Trust me, I have plenty of experience there. It's kind
Speaker 7: of kind of sucky, especially when you don't feel confident
Speaker 7: in putting your arm out in space. You know you're
Speaker 7: at defensive back and your whole thing is about being
Speaker 7: physical at the line of scrimmage and tackle and trying
Speaker 7: to tackle like you're gonna be rehsitant to even jam
Speaker 7: somebody at the line of scream. It's never less try
Speaker 7: to tackle somebody. It's kind of hard to be any
Speaker 7: kind of harness single or five plant. So that doesn't
Speaker 7: give me any boda confidence there. I'm hoping that the
Speaker 7: bye week is great for Dallas. That's that's my hope
Speaker 7: right now, strategically in terms of schemes, right And I know,
Speaker 7: I don't know if the news and notes if we
Speaker 7: hit on what mister Jones had to say yesterday or not,
Speaker 7: but you know, there were some things there in regards
Speaker 7: to him speaking on coach McCarthy.
Speaker 3: And we haven't talked about that. We have, but I
Speaker 3: think we should.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we probably should.
Speaker 10: Remember the question mark was a question mark. Yeah, I
Speaker 10: put a pin in it yesterday. Yeah, that's going to
Speaker 10: segue to all of that that we're talking.
Speaker 3: Do you want to ask you right now? Then let's
Speaker 3: ask you.
Speaker 10: So yesterday we were talking about offensive struggles and specifically
Speaker 10: offensive line eating a block better up front, things like
Speaker 10: that running game and how that plays into it. So
Speaker 10: my question is, because this has been kind of pondering
Speaker 10: in my head, I should have been pondering it in
Speaker 10: my head since Pittsburgh Boys traditionally, when I said traditionally
Speaker 10: Garrett era, McCarthy era zone scheme, zone blocking scheme against
Speaker 10: the Pittsburgh Steelers. At some point during the game, they
Speaker 10: changed to the power blocking scheme.
Speaker 1: And it worked right. It helped Lee reco to a
Speaker 1: career day.
Speaker 3: Is the most efficient running game they've had.
Speaker 10: Now, there are other variables to take an account. When
Speaker 10: you talk about what happened against the Lions, you got
Speaker 10: forced into a one dimensional game, etcetera, et cetera.
Speaker 3: But they also.
Speaker 10: Reverted back to the zone scheme. So question for the
Speaker 10: panel and for the listeners who are so tuned in
Speaker 10: because we love our talking Cowboys fans, should the Cowboys
Speaker 10: stick with their tried and true zone blocking scheme or
Speaker 10: should they give it a go at the power blocking game? Now,
Speaker 10: I will say I slowed down, hurt my paws on that.
Speaker 10: It's not that they haven't tried the power blocking scheme before.
Speaker 10: Because a guy named Darren mcfatten comes to mind. Okay,
Speaker 10: so when mcfatten was here, they kind of reverted to
Speaker 10: plot not averted, but they converted the power blocking to
Speaker 10: help accommodate him, and they got him a thousand Yeah,
Speaker 10: they got him a thousand yards rushing right, so question
Speaker 10: being ZBS or PBS.
Speaker 3: Mmm, what do you think?
Speaker 11: I like, I told you guys yesterday, I'm a big
Speaker 11: fan of the power blocking scheme. I think, at least
Speaker 11: for me, when you get into the red zone, going
Speaker 11: into like a thirteen personnel, I think would be huge
Speaker 11: because that wrinkle is just.
Speaker 8: Not a part of our game right now.
Speaker 11: I don't see that being effective enough or ran enough
Speaker 11: to really justify your.
Speaker 3: Three tight ends in that regard.
Speaker 2: It would be Saker and spermspan Ford or Hunter Lipkey, okay,
Speaker 2: and just counting him as that tight end, Yeah, you
Speaker 2: could do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I need to see him just on the field more.
Speaker 11: Obviously I'm turning into Nick Harris all of a sudden,
Speaker 11: but genuinely I need to see Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 8: Exactly.
Speaker 11: Uh No, we need we need to see El Boogie
Speaker 11: on the field more. But for me, it's like, Okay,
Speaker 11: if we're not running the ball very well, let's get
Speaker 11: as many blockers in as we can and run the
Speaker 11: ball like like, do it until it fail, until it
Speaker 11: fails you you know what I mean, do it three
Speaker 11: times in a row.
Speaker 8: If you could pick up ten yards, keep going, keep going.
Speaker 11: I want to see an entire series of just thirteen
Speaker 11: personal I genuinely want to see how that would work.
Speaker 8: Yeah, maybe it's maybe it's a tragedy.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but so could be.
Speaker 8: Show me you're trying.
Speaker 2: You know, is anything right now a tragedy In terms
Speaker 2: of the running game, probably.
Speaker 3: All of it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, all of it.
Speaker 2: I big facts I thought was going to be out yesterday.
Speaker 2: I should come out today, I believe. In terms of
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys dot Com. One of the big facts is
Speaker 2: the fact that this is the second worst rushing attack
Speaker 2: through six games in Cowboys or since nineteen eighty nine,
Speaker 2: so since Jerry Jones bought the team.
Speaker 3: Eighty nine was the worst.
Speaker 2: Ninety was not much better, but it was still better
Speaker 2: than what is happening currently in twenty twenty four great Bow. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it is the second worst rushing attack since nineteen eighty
Speaker 2: nine for the Cowboys.
Speaker 7: I have hope for this offense, I truly do. I
Speaker 7: do have hole because I believe in coach McCarthy. I
Speaker 7: believe in Coach McCarthy's schemes. I've seen it. I've seen it.
Speaker 7: I've seen what he's capable of. I've seen these guys
Speaker 7: respond in the past. I've seen what Dak's capable of
Speaker 7: doing in this in this scheme again. That's why I'm
Speaker 7: hopeful and I'm excited for this week to see what
Speaker 7: he's been cooking up over the.
Speaker 6: Last week and a half.
Speaker 3: I just I want to see it.
Speaker 7: I truly, truly want to see it because I know
Speaker 7: that he can get in his bag. I know he can't.
Speaker 7: It's not like we're sitting here saying like, oh man, yeah,
Speaker 7: he's just you know, he doesn't have it no more.
Speaker 7: I might feel that way about the other side of
Speaker 7: the ball, but not offensively. And we've said that before
Speaker 7: on this show. I mean Tellen more specifically, there were
Speaker 7: times where we looked at each other and said, I
Speaker 7: don't know if he's got it. I don't know if
Speaker 7: it's there. I don't think we've said that with McCarthy
Speaker 7: all yet. Even though we've been very critical of McCarthy,
Speaker 7: which is fair because the numbers in the production say
Speaker 7: one thing, it's not like we've given up on him
Speaker 7: as a play caller, not at all. So like I
Speaker 7: want to point people to, you know, Colin and I
Speaker 7: did a breakdown last week on special Editions, so I
Speaker 7: think y'all can go back on the on the website
Speaker 7: or Websiteboys dot com.
Speaker 6: Ye Cowboys dot com.
Speaker 7: But go back and look at last week's episode of
Speaker 7: Special Edition.
Speaker 3: We did a film segment.
Speaker 7: We broke down what has what has contributed to the
Speaker 7: red zone woes for the Dallas Cowboys, and one of
Speaker 7: the areas that we addressed, as well as turnovers as
Speaker 7: well as missed opportunities. One of the things we talked
Speaker 7: about was the predictability of the offensive scheme right now.
Speaker 7: And I think that's what mister Jones was alluding to
Speaker 7: when he made his his sentiments in regards to Coach
Speaker 7: McCarthy making bad play calls.
Speaker 3: I think is what is his scheme scheme?
Speaker 8: What did he actually say for the listeners?
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, I don't have I don't want to miss quote,
Speaker 7: so I'll get it give toy. So in that breakdown,
Speaker 7: we highlighted, you know, the West Coast offense. That's really
Speaker 7: at the core of what Coach McCarthy likes to run, right,
Speaker 7: And there's a lot of different ways you can run
Speaker 7: the same concepts. You can run it out of different personnels,
Speaker 7: you can run it out of different formations.
Speaker 3: You could do shifts, you can motion to it, you can.
Speaker 7: Make a very simplified offense look like crazy complex and
Speaker 7: he just hasn't gotten there yet very much. So what
Speaker 7: Shanahan does right, So, yeah, he just hasn't gotten the year.
Speaker 7: So if you go back and look at that special
Speaker 7: edition episode, you'll see what we're talking about and how
Speaker 7: teams are really starting to jump and really start to
Speaker 7: predict what the route concepts are, who supposed to be
Speaker 7: getting the ball, all those things. And that's why I'm saying, Okay, hey,
Speaker 7: take what you've been doing, but just make it look
Speaker 7: super complex, right and still keep it simple for your offense.
Speaker 6: And I'm hoping that debt that comes out with a
Speaker 6: different result.
Speaker 2: Tuesday on one oh five three the Fan, Jerry Jones
Speaker 2: said the types of things that we all think we
Speaker 2: should be looking at as or at is we Sorry,
Speaker 2: it's hard to rate that Jones quote, Uh, we're designing
Speaker 2: bad plays, We're designing bad concepts. The facts are that
Speaker 2: there's some of that, but there's also some.
Speaker 3: Of the execution.
Speaker 2: And so basically he said, bad schemes, bad concepts, bad plays,
Speaker 2: and bad.
Speaker 3: Execution across the board.
Speaker 6: And I don't agree.
Speaker 7: Before before you go to the I disagree with mister
Speaker 7: Jones and a regard I wholeheardly on the well on
Speaker 7: the bad schemes, so more and so execution the execution.
Speaker 7: But also I'm gonna say, hey, I like the schemes.
Speaker 7: I dislike the creativity. I like the schemes because I've
Speaker 7: ran that offense a gazillion times, but I dislike how
Speaker 7: you're getting to those plays.
Speaker 2: To be fair, he said bad plays, bad concepts. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so the scheme was the overparching thing. So his actual
Speaker 2: quote was plays in concepts.
Speaker 7: So what we talked about on the Special Disition episode
Speaker 7: was concepts, correct. Right, We're talking about certain you know,
Speaker 7: smash concepts whereas a hitch usually or under in a
Speaker 7: corner route, things of that nature. But like mix up
Speaker 7: who's running against So he's mixed up the personnel groupings,
Speaker 7: but he's not mixing up the formations.
Speaker 6: He's not mixing up how you get to it.
Speaker 7: He's not mixing up pre snap motions to be able
Speaker 7: to help that get information as whether this is man
Speaker 7: or zone. Right, are these these coverage declarations?
Speaker 6: Right? All those are things that can contry to your offense.
Speaker 7: Wow, you know it's giving your offense information while making
Speaker 7: it looks extremely complex for the defense. So I think
Speaker 7: that's I don't know, maybe he watched our episode. He
Speaker 7: might have watched the episode.
Speaker 6: So I wasn't.
Speaker 7: I wasn't taking a shot out coach McCarthy in our episode.
Speaker 7: I was just saying that he needs to get in
Speaker 7: his back and get more creative. Do what you're doing right,
Speaker 7: do what you're confident with, but make it look complex.
Speaker 10: The scheme is proven, Yes, the scheme has proven time
Speaker 10: and time again.
Speaker 3: And we just talked about Kyle Shanahan.
Speaker 10: Kyle Shanahan is running the variation of the scheme, and
Speaker 10: Kyle Shanahan's scheme is very bare bones, but it's how
Speaker 10: he masks and how he uses motion and how he
Speaker 10: makes it so creative that the opposing defense just doesn't
Speaker 10: know what's coming next.
Speaker 3: But I found it though, Yeah, I found it on film.
Speaker 3: I found out some more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I found some stuff. But you just need more
Speaker 1: of that from McCarthy.
Speaker 10: And I said it on yesterday when the question was posed, like,
Speaker 10: you know, am I giving up on McCarthy or you know.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not, because I've seen him cook up. So
Speaker 1: now it's just a matter.
Speaker 10: Of getting back to that, and maybe that does involve
Speaker 10: more pre snap motion because for those that are just
Speaker 10: like the basic football fan, a very simple concept would be,
Speaker 10: if you line up and you send somebody in motion,
Speaker 10: if that man trails over, then that man is in man.
Speaker 1: Ye right, that's trying to say he's not in zone.
Speaker 10: Now, it could be a combo defense with a hybrid
Speaker 10: zone man, but that particular man just revealed to him
Speaker 10: that he's in man. So little things like that that
Speaker 10: you can do to get a tail to help your quarterback.
Speaker 3: So that's kind of what I is.
Speaker 2: Well, last week, when Barry Church was on talking, I
Speaker 2: asked him the very simple question. I was like, you
Speaker 2: played in this league for a long time as a defender.
Speaker 2: I was like, did you like or dislike when teams
Speaker 2: ran in motion pre stat motion?
Speaker 3: He said I hated it. I was like, that's simple
Speaker 3: enough for me to say, let's do it.
Speaker 2: Do it because the time, because if there's a defender
Speaker 2: saying here, like, there's no fallback.
Speaker 3: To doing pre snap motion.
Speaker 2: In my opinion, is it tougher on an offense to
Speaker 2: run pre stat motion?
Speaker 3: No, exactly.
Speaker 7: It gives you information so like shift so come to
Speaker 7: the line of scrimmage and shift right. So move your
Speaker 7: tight ends from the left side to the right side.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 7: So, now the defense from their perspective, you just changed
Speaker 7: the strength of your offense right, so, which means that
Speaker 7: they have to change the strength of their defense.
Speaker 6: So that off the bat gives you information.
Speaker 7: Now your defense might change from an underfront to a
Speaker 7: overfront or vice versa. Right, but you're getting those type
Speaker 7: of things. Okay, now that you have that, now let's
Speaker 7: run a motion right, let's run a return motion.
Speaker 6: Right, Let's take.
Speaker 7: CD this, just send them to the quarterback and then
Speaker 7: send them back. All right, what are we getting?
Speaker 12: Right?
Speaker 7: What information are we gathering? Not only are we getting
Speaker 7: a man in ari zone declaration, right, we're seeing where
Speaker 7: these safeties are moving at.
Speaker 3: We're also seeing exactly.
Speaker 7: Can can see gain more more leverage right based upon
Speaker 7: based upon what his route is.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 7: So there's a lot of things that it gives you
Speaker 7: advantage of. And that's what I believe that you're going
Speaker 7: to see more of this week because he's had an
Speaker 7: opportunity to sit back, self evaluate and now he can
Speaker 7: cook up some things that are going to help this offense.
Speaker 11: It also helps stack see what he's about to say
Speaker 11: on the play pre snap. I mean, it gives him
Speaker 11: just that that little bit of extra spy on what
Speaker 11: the defense is doing, and.
Speaker 6: The defense has to communicate.
Speaker 7: The number one contributor to bad defense communications communication. The
Speaker 7: more difficult you could make it on a defense to
Speaker 7: communicate and do their jobs properly, the more opportunities you're
Speaker 7: gonna have for drop coverages, right, drop your are we playing?
Speaker 6: Man are replaying his own I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 6: It just got mixed up.
Speaker 7: Now, all of a sudden, you got somebody running free
Speaker 7: down the sideline, right, Oh, don't show the blitz said,
Speaker 7: Oh crap, I don't know. I don't know when he's
Speaker 7: gonna snap the ball, right, All those things right, It
Speaker 7: just causes a lot of conflicts. So that's back to
Speaker 7: what you were saying about Barry. They hate it because
Speaker 7: they want to just be able to go up there, Hey, strong, right, strong, right,
Speaker 7: and then line up and play.
Speaker 3: That's what they want to be able to do. What
Speaker 3: as soon as you're doing which teams.
Speaker 7: Which teams are doing, and teams are starting to really say, hey,
Speaker 7: city's in a slot, city's either running over a CD's
Speaker 7: running a corner.
Speaker 10: And if you need evidence to what Isaiah is saying,
Speaker 10: just look at how the Cowboys defense has been just
Speaker 10: scorched over these pass several games.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 10: It's because a lot of reason is because of the miscommunication,
Speaker 10: because the opposing offenses rather it be the Saints the Ravens,
Speaker 10: they're forcing them to trade over kind of it. Yeah,
Speaker 10: they're forcing them to over communicate. And if the communication
Speaker 10: is it pristine? Yeah, that's the first the first thing.
Speaker 8: You want to miss, assignments and all.
Speaker 2: If you had your guest, if you had a guess
Speaker 2: on how much the Dallas Cowboys run motion percentage wise,
Speaker 2: what would it be?
Speaker 6: What would be your guess?
Speaker 3: Unless you already know the answer to.
Speaker 2: Them, I already know the answer, Okay, so I'll stay
Speaker 2: away from Pat Josh.
Speaker 1: What would your guess?
Speaker 8: Ten percent?
Speaker 3: Okay, Isaiah's a question.
Speaker 2: How what percentage of time do you feel like the
Speaker 2: Cowboys run motion?
Speaker 6: Oh, maybe twenty three percent.
Speaker 3: It's a little bit higher.
Speaker 2: It's actually a lot higher. Fifty five percent. Fifty five percent.
Speaker 2: But if you look at some of the other teams
Speaker 2: I've just pulled up the San Francisco forty nine ers
Speaker 2: is kind of we're talking about the Kyle Shannan offense
Speaker 2: and the tree. Would you like to guess on what
Speaker 2: they run motion?
Speaker 1: No, probably eighty.
Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, seventy.
Speaker 1: I was going to go seventy.
Speaker 3: It's eighty right on the dot, so fifty five.
Speaker 2: Great, Okay, you run it more than half of the time,
Speaker 2: but it's also less than what you run an eleven personnel,
Speaker 2: which is sixty percent of the time.
Speaker 3: It's less than what you.
Speaker 2: Do in terms of all these other different things on
Speaker 2: your offense, mixing and matching. You're still not doing it
Speaker 2: enough compared to some of the teams that do use
Speaker 2: it quite a bit.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: Motion is not the be all, end all softball, but
Speaker 2: it does give you information and it's an extra added
Speaker 2: tool that the Cowboys are only using at their disposal
Speaker 2: fifty five percent of them.
Speaker 3: Gives you information and it creates confusion.
Speaker 2: Yes, but just looking at this, have you seen how
Speaker 2: many snaps they've gone in play action this year because
Speaker 2: of how the running game has just been bad. They've
Speaker 2: had forty six play action.
Speaker 1: Snaps the six games.
Speaker 3: In six games. That's terrible, but seventeen.
Speaker 8: Percent dangerous with that play act not at all.
Speaker 2: All right, let's take our first break. When we come back.
Speaker 2: We've got some PB vision. We just talked about the
Speaker 2: Cowboys offense. What is going to happen with this San Francisco.
Speaker 3: Defense that's still a little banged up on their.
Speaker 2: Side, but they've still got some dudes. Nick Bosa, Fred
Speaker 2: Warner and company. We'll talk about it when we come
Speaker 2: back right after this with more talking Cowboys. If you're

Speaker 2: We really enjoyed getting the catch up with him. We
Speaker 2: got the whole crew out there, took a picture. He
Speaker 2: posted it up. I'll post it tomorrow after the segment,
Speaker 2: just so that way it's all kind of relevant.
Speaker 3: But uh, he actually texted earlier and in the the.
Speaker 2: On the text line, he said, back when I was
Speaker 2: in the Army, we would put coffee grounds in our lips,
Speaker 2: like Copenhagen.
Speaker 1: To keep us away.
Speaker 3: So he's he's still listening.
Speaker 6: And iron Shrimp.
Speaker 10: I've seen that because I grew up run a lot
Speaker 10: of military men and women, and I've seen them do that.
Speaker 10: I've seen them marines. Yeah, yeah, just just right through
Speaker 10: the gums.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's what I need to start doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, walk in here and just we talk about Josh,
Speaker 1: the dry shot.
Speaker 10: I want to see you put coffee grounds in the
Speaker 10: in the bottom lipper.
Speaker 3: I'll do it if you take a sip of.
Speaker 1: Do it.
Speaker 3: You don't want at that back.
Speaker 6: Huh, you don't want to smell.
Speaker 2: I don't want to put I don't want to put
Speaker 2: coffee grounds in my lips.
Speaker 6: But I'll do it.
Speaker 3: If you take a sip of black Riff for coffee,
Speaker 3: you don't even have to like it.
Speaker 1: Shout out the coal, shout the cool.
Speaker 3: We do, love you, Cole. You know what else we love?
Speaker 3: We love learning. We do on this show. There's a
Speaker 3: lot of learning. Yeah, science, a lot of science, a
Speaker 3: lot of opportunity, a lot of that. I love learning
Speaker 3: with a little bit of some.
Speaker 1: White Eddie, Why Eddie put up?
Speaker 5: It's time for QB Vision with Isaiah's stand back.
Speaker 7: Hi guys, Hey, welcome back to Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 3: They're gonna do the QB Vision now we never left.
Speaker 3: They can watch us that entire time. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Some people are just listening. You guys expect you guys
Speaker 3: have fair oh fair San.
Speaker 6: Francisco forty nine ers.
Speaker 7: Okay, let's talk about them a little bit. There's not
Speaker 7: a whole lot here because they are are beat down.
Speaker 3: Obviously. We just talked about that in the news and
Speaker 3: notes portion.
Speaker 7: But just give you guys a little perspective since twenty
Speaker 7: to twenty one, Dak Prescott versus San Francis scool forty
Speaker 7: nine ers. How do you guys feel as if he's
Speaker 7: it's not just Dak, right, but it's the whole offense.
Speaker 7: How do you guys seed that they weathered versus these guys?
Speaker 1: Not good?
Speaker 15: Not good?
Speaker 6: Bob good oh one three?
Speaker 7: Since since twenty twenty one out it's last in the
Speaker 7: league versus forty nine ers. Points per game thirteen, completion
Speaker 7: percentage fifty seven point seven, ideal passing yards per tempt,
Speaker 7: five point nine passing touchdowns, three interceptions, six, passer rating
Speaker 7: sixty point three. I say all that to say history
Speaker 7: has not been great to the Cowboys nor Dak Prescott
Speaker 7: when it comes into forty nine ers.
Speaker 8: I don't like what you're saying.
Speaker 3: It's okay, you know what, but there is good news. Okay.
Speaker 7: The good news is over the last three years he's
Speaker 7: facing difference defense, a different defensive coordinator for the forty
Speaker 7: nine ers every year.
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, so that's a good news.
Speaker 3: That's good news.
Speaker 6: That is good news.
Speaker 3: They've had the same success with different coordinators.
Speaker 7: I don't know if that's great news. Yeah, let's you
Speaker 7: don't get the same guy that's get to double up
Speaker 7: on deck. So that's the good news. Okay, let's look
Speaker 7: at the other good news. They have a lot of
Speaker 7: guys that are down right now, right, They're some of
Speaker 7: their most effective interior defense alignment are down right now.
Speaker 7: They they rely on those guys heavily to make an
Speaker 7: impact for them.
Speaker 3: But they have some other dudes, okay.
Speaker 7: And the other dudes that I want to talk about
Speaker 7: are the guys that you typically don't hear, and that
Speaker 7: is Leonard Floyd. Leonard Floyd is a dude for them,
Speaker 7: number fifty six. Obviously, you guys know him from his
Speaker 7: time in Buffalo. You guys know from his time and
Speaker 7: with the Rams. He is one hell of a player
Speaker 7: for them.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 7: He is a guy that is getting to the quarterback
Speaker 7: uh pretty frequently right now, along with his buddy old pal.
Speaker 7: And you guys probably know his buddy old pale. Number
Speaker 7: ninety seven. Yeah, Nicholas Nicholas Bosa, not Nicholas Cage. I
Speaker 7: like Nicholas Cage is a great actor. Kanye was amazing,
Speaker 7: but it is treasure guy. Kanye is gone in sixty seven.
Speaker 7: I'm a gonna see, but I love Kanye.
Speaker 1: We're also more of a long legs. Oh, long legs,
Speaker 1: long legs.
Speaker 8: Nicholas Cage, are you kidding me?
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the Nick You know me?
Speaker 8: Sorry, you go ahead.
Speaker 3: What do you know Nick Bosa for doing starring in movies? No,
Speaker 3: Nick Bosa? You know him for sacks?
Speaker 1: Yeah, knocking around your quarterback.
Speaker 7: You know him for getting to your quarterback and being
Speaker 7: the sack guy. He is third in the NFL over
Speaker 7: the last two seasons with thirty two and a half sacks.
Speaker 3: This season, he only has three and.
Speaker 6: A half though.
Speaker 1: Oh so is he falling off? No, no, no, he's
Speaker 1: not falling off. He's just pressure.
Speaker 3: Because the pressure he says a completely different story.
Speaker 7: So even though he's tied for tenth in the league
Speaker 7: in terms of the three and a half sacks, Bosa
Speaker 7: is still a dude. He will play on both sides.
Speaker 7: Unlike some defensive ends that we've seen this year. He
Speaker 7: will line up against whoever he feels is the worst
Speaker 7: of the two tackles, and he will try his best
Speaker 7: to take advantage of him. Now, he is leading the
Speaker 7: league in pressures. That is a problem because those pressures
Speaker 7: have resulted in turnovers in the form of interceptions for
Speaker 7: some of the other opponents.
Speaker 3: You can go back and look at Gino Smith.
Speaker 7: He has some good pressures against him, and Gino overthrew
Speaker 7: some guys and interception. Had fourteen pressures against Yeah, he
Speaker 7: had a lot of pressures against Seattle.
Speaker 6: He kind of had a day.
Speaker 7: So somebody that you definitely need to be aware of. Obviously,
Speaker 7: once you get past Leonard Floyd and Nick Bosa, then
Speaker 7: there is another guy that you kind of have to
Speaker 7: be concerned about.
Speaker 6: Do you guys know who the guy is at the
Speaker 6: second level?
Speaker 1: Oh, Freddy Krueger. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Fred Krueger.
Speaker 3: I'm going to call him Fred Warner, which I.
Speaker 7: Consider and I will standing here on the table right
Speaker 7: in some fruit of the draw right with some tidy
Speaker 7: white he's on, and said that he is the best
Speaker 7: linebacker in football.
Speaker 8: And you're right, Why do we need the mental picture
Speaker 8: of that?
Speaker 3: You had to see it, see it?
Speaker 1: Yep?
Speaker 3: Fair enough? Fred Warner the best linebacker in football? Yis?
Speaker 7: I would agree that, not only just because of what
Speaker 7: he can physically do, but cerebrally he is so freaking smart,
Speaker 7: and he is athletic is all get out. He's physical,
Speaker 7: he's vocal. He is when you drop a middle linebacker.
Speaker 7: He's the guy that you that you draw.
Speaker 3: You remember what he did to Dallas last year? You know,
Speaker 3: do you remember what he did?
Speaker 2: No interception, a sack, the pressures, the tackle for loss.
Speaker 2: I mean he was literally all over all over the field,
Speaker 2: Terrence Terrence Steel, by the way, last year, he was
Speaker 2: a night. Last year, Terrence Steel against San Francisco recorded
Speaker 2: the lowest past block grade of his entire career. He
Speaker 2: was graded on Pro Football Focus as an eight point
Speaker 2: four eight point four. He allowed eight pressures, a sack,
Speaker 2: three hits in four hurries on it in an eight
Speaker 2: point four grade out of one hundred, got an eight.
Speaker 3: He ever got an eight on a test. I haven't
Speaker 3: done that, Yeah, because you wouldn't be here. What Kyle's
Speaker 3: talking about.
Speaker 7: It's talking about those pressus, right, were talking about at
Speaker 7: So we're talking about Floyd, right, We're talking about Warner.
Speaker 7: Not only is he a dude, he is the only
Speaker 7: player in the NFL this year with multiple force fumbles
Speaker 7: and multiple interceptions. So not only not only is he
Speaker 7: getting downhill right and hidden it crap out of people
Speaker 7: when he gets there, Yeah, but he's also dropping back
Speaker 7: in coverage and using his athleticism to go up there
Speaker 7: and get the ball. He's a dude, all right, He's
Speaker 7: an absolute dude. Why is this a problem? Why am
Speaker 7: I talking about those three guys in particular? Because those
Speaker 7: are both of your defensive ends. Okay, those are your dns.
Speaker 7: That is also your middle linebacker.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 7: They don't they don't pressure, but they get pressure. This
Speaker 7: team blitzes the least amount in the NFL. I think
Speaker 7: there are bottom three, bottom bottom two or bottom three
Speaker 7: in the NFL in terms of blitz. Yeah, they blitzed
Speaker 7: seventeen or nineteen percent at a time. They don't blitz
Speaker 7: but nineteen yeah, nineteen, But they I mean, but but
Speaker 7: they get pressure. Yeah, they're getting back there. So what
Speaker 7: does that mean? That means that you have to be
Speaker 7: stout up front. These guys are not having to expose
Speaker 7: themselves defensively in terms of taking risk to still be
Speaker 7: effective defensively.
Speaker 2: Well, and because they're so good up front and they
Speaker 2: get that pressure, you can play Nickel, have that extra
Speaker 2: defensive back, and all of a sudden, the secondary helps
Speaker 2: out the front. It's kind of what Dallas did under
Speaker 2: Dan Quinn for a long time. Yep, in terms of
Speaker 2: pressure up front, allowing for that secondary to.
Speaker 7: Eat correct as we go to the to the secondary,
Speaker 7: I'm I think the only person that's out there that
Speaker 7: I'm remotely concerned about is Charvaria's Ward. He's just a
Speaker 7: he's a yapper, he's physical, he's he likes to get
Speaker 7: up in your face and stay in your hip pocket.
Speaker 7: Ye former cowboy but he but But coverage wise, I'm
Speaker 7: not impressed by these guys. I think that you can
Speaker 7: get over the top of them. I think that you
Speaker 7: can beat them. They don't again, because they don't take risk.
Speaker 7: They're always going to be in a relatively sound defense.
Speaker 7: They don't lean heavily either way. They don't lean heavily
Speaker 7: towards single high, they don't lean heavily towards towards too high.
Speaker 7: They are pretty even killed when it comes to defense. Right,
Speaker 7: So what that means is based upon whatever personnel groupings
Speaker 7: you come out with, that's how they're gonna match you.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 7: They're they're not a predominantly single high team or predominantly
Speaker 7: they're gonna sit back team. They change it up based
Speaker 7: upon their opponent. And because they don't have to blitz
Speaker 7: and they can still get pressure. They usually play it safe, right,
Speaker 7: they can sit over the top, right, They don't have
Speaker 7: to do a lot of things. But when they decide
Speaker 7: to get up in your face and play man, take advantage,
Speaker 7: and I think that you can.
Speaker 11: I'm a little concerned about Rinardo Green because he had
Speaker 11: a really good game in Seattle. He was giving DK
Speaker 11: Metcalfs some issues and basically eliminated a touchdown just before
Speaker 11: halftime a perfect ball, almost perfect rout and contested to
Speaker 11: catch and shoved him out of balance. And DK metcalf
Speaker 11: is a big dude. So I'm concerned about Ronardo Green
Speaker 11: and how he's going to cerebrally affect Dak Prescott for sure.
Speaker 8: And he has really great closing speed.
Speaker 10: I tell you who the Cowboys would also need to
Speaker 10: be concerned about. In addition to everyone that you guys
Speaker 10: were saying, there's another former Cowboys, a former third round
Speaker 10: pick of the Dallas Cowboys that everybody is kind of
Speaker 10: forgetting about right now. But he has three sacks right now.
Speaker 10: He's right up there with the sack tally. As far
Speaker 10: as those other guys getting getting the job done. Lennard
Speaker 10: Floyd and Nick Bosa that's Malite Collins. Malite Collins is
Speaker 10: in San Francisco, forty nine er land right now. And
Speaker 10: for a lot of Cowboys fans that did not know that,
Speaker 10: and they're thinking right now after they hear me say,
Speaker 10: they're like, well, wait, Malie Collins plays over there. Yes,
Speaker 10: and he's playing, well, he's actually playing career ball over
Speaker 10: there right now under that defensive scheme, So you got
Speaker 10: to keep an eye on him. What might work in
Speaker 10: the Cowboys favor? And I say, Mike because again based
Speaker 10: upon what I said yesterday, don't faf oh, you need
Speaker 10: to play like these guys are out there. Kevin Gibbons,
Speaker 10: he's a three three and a half sack guy. He
Speaker 10: helps with the pressure from the interior, but he is
Speaker 10: dealing with a groin injury. He did not participate yesterday.
Speaker 10: We'll see if he can go or if he's one
Speaker 10: hundred percent, but you need to play like he's going
Speaker 10: and he's one hundred percent. But nonetheless, it's that defensive front.
Speaker 10: Obviously you have Fred Warner patrolling behind. He is hands
Speaker 10: down the best linebacker in the game. But that front four,
Speaker 10: I believe, even without Givings, is one of arguably probably
Speaker 10: the best in the league, and in large part that's
Speaker 10: also because of what Maliite Collins has given them. So
Speaker 10: the Cowboys, they have some insight on Malite Collins.
Speaker 3: Use that insight.
Speaker 10: You scouted him, you drafted him, You know his tendencies,
Speaker 10: you know his strengths, you know his weaknesses.
Speaker 1: Use that exploit that.
Speaker 3: I like it, I don't like it. I like the breakdown.
Speaker 2: I don't like it the breakdown, but I do love
Speaker 2: or I don't love seeing what they have on the
Speaker 2: other side. I was looking at this stat from Fred
Speaker 2: Warner a moment ago, and it's also it goes kind
Speaker 2: of hand in hand with his versatility at the second level.
Speaker 2: Since drafting Fred Warner in twenty eighteen, the forty nine
Speaker 2: Ers have allowed eleven fewer completions on passes over the
Speaker 2: intermediate middle third of.
Speaker 3: The field than any other defense in the entire NFL.
Speaker 3: Oh eleven fewer. So that's a lot.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a full game adamsworth of completions for
Speaker 2: a really good wide receiver, but that since twenty eighteen,
Speaker 2: they've allowed a fifty one percent completion percentage to this
Speaker 2: area over that timeframe, almost two percentage points lower than
Speaker 2: any other defense. And that's Fred Warner. Not only patrolling
Speaker 2: from pressures and sacks and interceptions and all these different things.
Speaker 2: He's just a solid coverage linebacker too.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, then he do all of it.
Speaker 7: And I'm not sure if they put this up on
Speaker 7: the website yet, but I did a film room breakdown yesterday.

Speaker 7: out Dallas Cowboys dot com. That shows exactly what Kyle's
Speaker 7: referring to in terms of how smart and how savvy
Speaker 7: of a player Fred Warner is in terms of being up.
Speaker 7: But a come up to the line of scrimmage to
Speaker 7: one particular play that we show he's at the line
Speaker 7: of scrimmage, he changes the play call for that offense right,
Speaker 7: takes them out of a passing situation to put them
Speaker 7: in a situation where they're now trying to protect, gets
Speaker 7: them to change their protection. Backs up, go ahead, takes
Speaker 7: away one of the receiver, and the drops back, takes
Speaker 7: away another receiver and gets then interception, gets up and
Speaker 7: returns it for a touchdown.
Speaker 3: The dude is a problem, Yeah, The do is a problem.

Speaker 2: going to take him and Bosa out of the equation,
Speaker 2: and when we come back, I want you to give
Speaker 2: me the biggest threat on the San Francisco defense outside.
Speaker 3: Of the names we just mentioned here. In a moment
Speaker 3: right after this, with more talking.

Speaker 4: I c.
Speaker 3: To Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Back here on Talking Cowboys presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company,
Speaker 2: Patrick Noci Walker, Josh Rodriguez, Isaiah stand back with Doc
Speaker 2: Chris Beam.
Speaker 3: In the back.
Speaker 2: I'm Kyle Yeomans, all right, biggest threat. We just mentioned
Speaker 2: a bunch of names defensively, Nick Bosa, Fred Warner, and
Speaker 2: then which which one of the DB's did you just mention?
Speaker 8: Geez Green?
Speaker 3: Did you say Green?
Speaker 8: Green?
Speaker 6: Green?
Speaker 3: Okaydo Green?
Speaker 2: I wanted to take Ernardo Green out of there too, okay,
Speaker 2: out of without those guys in the fold.
Speaker 3: Who's the biggest threat on the San Francisco defense?
Speaker 1: Leonard Floyd?
Speaker 2: We said him to no, no, he said in the
Speaker 2: I said in the teas we didn't.
Speaker 3: You didn't didn't said it last night in the tea's
Speaker 3: I said, take the names. Take him out outside of Leonard.
Speaker 8: I got you, I got you. Yeah, Malik Mustafa Okay,
Speaker 8: all right.
Speaker 3: I'm sure that's what I'm looking for. I'm looking for
Speaker 3: new names.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gave you Maliite Collins.
Speaker 2: That was a good one that I'm going to roll
Speaker 2: super You can say Malie Conin Collins, and when you
Speaker 2: circle back around, I'll give an added reason keep going
Speaker 2: to Josh.
Speaker 11: I think, at least for Malik Mustafa, Dak is just
Speaker 11: not Obviously, the receivers are not quite there this year,
Speaker 11: aside from c D who also needs to get to
Speaker 11: a point where he's in sk with Dak Prescott. To me,
Speaker 11: a guy like Malik Mustafa can confuse and lull Dak
Speaker 11: Prescott into making poor decisions, which we've seen so far
Speaker 11: this year. I'm a little bit concerned about that, but
Speaker 11: again more so on Ronaldo Green, but molikasoff as well.
Speaker 7: I'm going to say in this particular matchup, I'm gonna
Speaker 7: say Jay R. Brown, he said the free safety just
Speaker 7: seemingly from a standpoint, these guys are going to be
Speaker 7: sitting back, most likely in a too high set, forcing
Speaker 7: Dallas to run the ball because you don't have to
Speaker 7: be play single high against these guys at least to
Speaker 7: this point, which allows the safeties to sit back. And
Speaker 7: if you're sitting back and you're trying to get CD
Speaker 7: the ball. Typically Dallas likes to get CD the ball
Speaker 7: in the form of over routes right when he lines
Speaker 7: up in a slot, and he likes to run them
Speaker 7: over about fifteen to eighteen yards across the across the formation,
Speaker 7: across the field, and safeties can cut on that.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 7: When I say cut, I mean like, hey, I know
Speaker 7: where you're going. I'm gonna cut you off, and I'm
Speaker 7: going to get there first and then beat the beat
Speaker 7: you there to the ball and try to intercept it.
Speaker 7: Or you're gonna see kind of what we've seen in
Speaker 7: Pittsburgh and some of these other games where CD's trying
Speaker 7: to run corner routes and the safeties are able to
Speaker 7: sit back and kind of see Dak release the ball
Speaker 7: and they can jump on those as well.
Speaker 3: So if those things have not.
Speaker 7: Been corrected over this bye week, then I think that
Speaker 7: he's probably the most advantageous person to take advantage of
Speaker 7: that in this game.
Speaker 10: So I'm gonna stick with Milite Collins and go back
Speaker 10: to segment two, listeners and viewers, and you'll see something
Speaker 10: of the reasons why I say that. Here are a
Speaker 10: couple of added reasons. Nick Bosa three and a half sacks.
Speaker 10: Milite Collins has three sacks, right, so only half a
Speaker 10: sack fewer and sixty fewer pass rush reps. Okay, he
Speaker 10: has seventeen quarterback pressures nine quarterback hits. But here's another
Speaker 10: key stat. Nick Bosa has two turnovers created by his
Speaker 10: quarterback pressures. Melite Collins has won. So while Nick Bosa
Speaker 10: is all world, Malite Collins as far as getting the pressure,
Speaker 10: forcing those pressures to be productive for his defense and
Speaker 10: forcing a turnover, rattling the opposing quarterback, he's doing it,
Speaker 10: and he's doing it from the interior, something that the
Speaker 10: Cowboys really would like to have going on on their
Speaker 10: team right now.
Speaker 1: So for me, it's Milite Collins.
Speaker 3: That's a good one.
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with I'm gonna I'm probably gonna say
Speaker 2: his name wrong, but Leonore on the outside, the de monor.
Speaker 3: Linn Walll' he's the.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been really kind of up and down since
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. He hasn't been perfect, and there's some
Speaker 2: things that he does well. But the thing that I
Speaker 2: like that he does is he keeps everything underneath. So
Speaker 2: right now, the yards per reception, where at early early
Speaker 2: reports in his career it was over sixteen yards per reception,
Speaker 2: he's given up eight yards per reception right now. He's
Speaker 2: been targeted forty times, He's given him twenty five receptions.
Speaker 2: He's broken up a lot of passes throughout. So I
Speaker 2: don't think he's a game changer. But if we're looking
Speaker 2: for extra names to say, hey, he could play an
Speaker 2: impact in this game, it might be something like Lenor
Speaker 2: on the outside as well. All Right, that does it
Speaker 2: for us here on Talking Cowboys. Tomorrow, we'll have a
Speaker 2: say It with your Chest Friday. We got yeah, some
Speaker 2: new T shirts to rock from our guy Cole. We'll
Speaker 2: talk about that a little bit and have some fun
Speaker 2: together and we'll give our predictions for the week eight
Speaker 2: slate in the NFL. Lots to talk about, and I
Speaker 2: say it with your Chest for Friday. We'll be back
Speaker 2: tomorrow for Isaiah standback for crisping in.
Speaker 3: The back for Josh Roderiguez Patrick.
Speaker 2: No see Walker on Kyle Yoman saying so long from
Speaker 2: Talking Cowboys, we will see you tomorrow.
