Speaker 2: Today. Patrick, Hello, Patrick, it's time for some news and notes.
Speaker 4: It is time for there is so well, let's start
Speaker 4: with Well, Isaiah wasn't here for the bad, So I.
Speaker 1: Gotta I gotta reiterate the bad.
Speaker 2: What I miss.
Speaker 4: Your safety position is in shambles. We lost another one
Speaker 4: for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: So no Elijah, no Donovan Wilson, no one Ye Thomas.
Speaker 2: Mali Cooker, Malik Hooker.
Speaker 1: Get so we're.
Speaker 2: Missing for safeties. That's not that bad. We still have you. Yeah, one, Actually,
Speaker 2: you know what, I take that back. We have to
Speaker 2: you have one.
Speaker 1: Who's the other?
Speaker 2: I consider Ready Steward of safety.
Speaker 1: Ready Stewart's playing, Ready Steward have a choice now, Well,
Speaker 1: the thing is check me out and watching it, watching
Speaker 1: the games. Ready Stewart. I don't consider him to be
Speaker 1: a good cover corner. Yeah, I consider him to be
Speaker 1: a good cover safety though, And he's physical, and he's physical,
Speaker 1: he's gonna as well. He's as a cornerback. But it's
Speaker 1: just my, my, my perspective. As a cornerback, he's a
Speaker 1: cover guy. But as a corner he's a ooh, hitter.
Speaker 1: He come up and hits you. He's the head hunter.
Speaker 1: As a safety, he remains a hitter, and then.
Speaker 2: He becomes a pretty good cover.
Speaker 1: Guy because you don't expect your safeties to be cover guys.
Speaker 2: Everybody's not Darren Woodson. Okay, So either way, he's ready,
Speaker 2: he's ready, and he's a steward of those dog gifts.
Speaker 1: Almost almost close letter, buddy letter. No, so kudos of that.
Speaker 1: So you still have Marqu's Bell and ready Stewart.
Speaker 4: You have Marquis Bell. It's ready steward until further notice,
Speaker 4: is actually a cornerback. But I see what you're saying,
Speaker 4: what do you what do you finish the game?
Speaker 2: This might be that's what I said.
Speaker 4: Until further notice. I mean, you do have Julius wood
Speaker 4: on the practice squad. But and I said this, I
Speaker 4: wrote a piece on the dot com dot com Sorry,
Speaker 4: I come on, come on talking about I wrote a
Speaker 4: piece on the dot com back yesterday with detail the
Speaker 4: safety issue as far as depth and injuries, but also
Speaker 4: four free agent options that I would be willing to
Speaker 4: peek at, and some honorable mentions that I would not
Speaker 4: give a look at.
Speaker 1: Go when do you expect all four of these injured
Speaker 1: safeties to return?
Speaker 4: So Malik Hooker he qualifies for twenty one day practice
Speaker 4: window to open this week point one, it's not going
Speaker 4: to happen. Her shotenheimer, okay, So he needs more time
Speaker 4: to rehab that injured toe.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: Big to not a great sign, you know, So we'll
Speaker 4: see if he's ready after the bye. Marquise Bell healthy
Speaker 4: one year, Thomas TBD. He's dealing with my grains and
Speaker 4: they're still trying to figure out what treatment works for him. Now,
Speaker 4: keep in mind, I had this conversation with one Yay
Speaker 4: and I was wondering if this was something that he's
Speaker 4: dealt with most of his life, and he said no,
Speaker 4: These migrains are a brand new to him.
Speaker 1: So that means from.
Speaker 4: His capacity, he doesn't know how to treat them at all.
Speaker 1: He doesn't know how he you know.
Speaker 4: What what the upswing looks like if when he's completely
Speaker 4: out of the woods versus when another one is going
Speaker 4: to hit. So he's been battling that and they've been
Speaker 4: trying several different types of treatment to the point where
Speaker 4: they have him practicing and like specialized goggles. So yeah,
Speaker 4: so because the light sensitivity, so they're they're trying, but
Speaker 4: we don't know because he doesn't know, they don't know.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't have.
Speaker 2: To when they pop up like that.
Speaker 3: It's different for everybody, right, And I've had family members
Speaker 3: deal with them, and they're not trying to play NFL
Speaker 3: football games in front of the bright lights and the
Speaker 3: crowd and gotten all of yes, like all of that
Speaker 3: just seems like it would ramp it up significantly. And
Speaker 3: if you don't know how to treat it yet, which
Speaker 3: there's ways to treat it, maybe, yeah, I mean there's
Speaker 3: one that's one way.
Speaker 6: But if it's a new developing thing that he's just
Speaker 6: figured out, he's going to what's going to make to figure.
Speaker 2: Out what's going to make the most effective. That's what
Speaker 2: they treatment.
Speaker 4: They're going down the list of treatments to figure out
Speaker 4: what works for one. Yay, Thomas, So we will see.
Speaker 4: He is very much TV and as we have this
Speaker 4: conversation fifty to fifty every single week until he's one
Speaker 4: hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Frustrating for him, Yeah, because walking around you're healthy, right,
Speaker 1: and you feel like you can contribute, but then you
Speaker 1: have these scene spurs where it's.
Speaker 2: Just like you just can't function. Can I can imagine
Speaker 2: his frustration?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he is quite that, you know, just looking
Speaker 1: at him.
Speaker 4: He's trying to remain upbeat and good spirited, but you
Speaker 4: can see the frustration and you can see him trying
Speaker 4: to fight being defeated by it. So and so for
Speaker 4: one yea and hopefully he gets through that soon, but
Speaker 4: he's we don't know, like he could very well play
Speaker 4: this week, but we just we just don't.
Speaker 1: And I hope that his teammates are being understanding. I really,
Speaker 1: I'm sure they are too. We're gonna assume that, right.
Speaker 1: I just hope that they are. Because the reason why
Speaker 1: I bring that up because injuries like that, right or
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call.
Speaker 2: Them a mess, you can't see them, right.
Speaker 1: So like when your teammates see you with a dislocated shoulder,
Speaker 1: they see you with cues and somebody okay, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's he's injured, right, he can't go, right. But then
Speaker 1: when you have things like that where it's like kind
Speaker 1: of judgment because bade a spade We've all been through
Speaker 1: sports and we've all seen people who have been injured.
Speaker 2: Right, It's not like he's this defense is playing terrible.
Speaker 2: He's like, you know, so you give him the benefit
Speaker 2: of the doubt.
Speaker 1: And I'm giving him all the benefit of the doubt
Speaker 1: because I believe that he's a true competitor. But there
Speaker 1: are always going to be people who look at you
Speaker 1: and be like m.
Speaker 4: Also, you also have to keep in mind the context
Speaker 4: of the whole situation. One Yeay Thomas is someone who
Speaker 4: climbed the ranks from the undrafted through the practice squad.
Speaker 4: His entire rookie season. He scratched and clawed to get reps.
Speaker 4: Last thing a last The last thing he wants to
Speaker 4: do is to say it doesn't matter how anyone feels
Speaker 4: about how the defense is being coordinated or how the
Speaker 4: unit is playing as a whole. One Yay Thomas wants reps.
Speaker 4: And I'll add one more thing to it. He's also
Speaker 4: on a one year deal right now. He's not like
Speaker 4: Keith Bell did not He did not get the reup
Speaker 4: that Marquis Bell.
Speaker 1: He got a one year reup.
Speaker 4: He needs eat these games, any one, right for anyone
Speaker 4: that's you know would even remotely accuse one Yay of
Speaker 4: taking He's not taking days off, reps off.
Speaker 1: He needs every single one.
Speaker 4: So that's why he's so frustrated, but so TBD on him.
Speaker 1: Possibly after the batleo of leek Cooker TVD on Donovan
Speaker 1: Wilson elbow shoulder injury. We have to look at the
Speaker 1: practice reports beginning tomorrow, I believe, because it's Monday night football,
Speaker 1: so they'll be back on the practice field today. But
Speaker 1: I don't know that they're required to submit a toy
Speaker 1: till tomorrow. I think it's tomorrow, so we won't know
Speaker 1: where he's turning until tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Just to add on to that, right, kind of put
Speaker 2: that put a ball on this.
Speaker 1: Imagine working twenty plus years of your life for one goal,
Speaker 1: for one opportunity, right, you put eminem on it. Just just.
Speaker 2: Seriously, he's week twenty plus years, right, you scratched.
Speaker 1: You've called everything you just said, climbing the ranks, going
Speaker 1: through small school, all that stuff just to get to
Speaker 1: the opportunity where guys have gotten injured and now it's
Speaker 1: you and you are the man of that man and
Speaker 1: then my takes you up like the amount of frustration like,
Speaker 1: I feel for him, and I hope that they can
Speaker 1: find a solution sooner than later. But put it in
Speaker 1: perspective for people at home, understanding how frustrated this could be.
Speaker 1: You literally work your life twenty plus years. How I
Speaker 1: road he is for this one chance and it's finally here.
Speaker 1: Things move out the way it works out, so that
Speaker 1: you're that guy. And then from old King Migraine, you.
Speaker 6: Have the oldest serious thing that you've never experienced before.
Speaker 2: Physically, I'm fine, Like my extremities are all good.
Speaker 4: I can get my guaranteed started for at least four games.
Speaker 1: When when Elik went to IR and just shut down.
Speaker 1: And that's not just for the Cowboys. I know he
Speaker 1: plays an under contract for the Cowboys. This is unnoticed
Speaker 1: for the other thirty one teams. Yeah, so like I
Speaker 1: really feel for him.
Speaker 2: That sucks. Man.
Speaker 4: So right now again, you got Marque's bell and you
Speaker 4: have ready that you can try it's safety. You have
Speaker 4: Julius Wood who is the safety, he's on the practice squad.
Speaker 4: You have Zion Childrens whom you can try it's safety.
Speaker 4: Because I mean, I get it, I'm saying Julius with them.
Speaker 4: But this also tells you. But even with Julius Wood,
Speaker 4: he was a standout in his first training camp with
Speaker 4: the Cowboys undrafted guy in twenty twenty four, the Cowboys
Speaker 4: signed following the draft. He stood out, and then they
Speaker 4: waved him with the numbers cut down playing the numbers game,
Speaker 4: and the Tennessee Titans claimed him. He spent that rookie
Speaker 4: season with the Titans, and now he's back with the
Speaker 4: Cowboys on the practice squad. Strong potential on Julius Wood.
Speaker 4: But as I said in the article, if you're depending
Speaker 4: on Julius Wood, who has zero starts and only two
Speaker 4: combined tackles and no other stats on his NFL line,
Speaker 4: you're in a bad way. If you're in a real
Speaker 4: bad way. So there are some free agents out there
Speaker 4: that I'm willing to look at. Go check it out
Speaker 4: on dot com.
Speaker 3: There are a couple of people in the chat that
Speaker 3: are asking about Zion Childress. He's a corner back now,
Speaker 3: yeah he's a corner Yeah he's not gonna play saying.
Speaker 6: And I just want to just tell that they feel
Speaker 6: really highly about Ready Sewart. I mean just claiming him
Speaker 6: for one thing, and then what you've seen from him
Speaker 6: in Spurs.
Speaker 1: I love him as safety, even when he was playing corner.
Speaker 1: I'll say he's a safety go.
Speaker 3: I do remember having that conversation and you you at
Speaker 3: one point said, if you're gonna play him at corner,
Speaker 3: play him at the nickel, because that's where he's at
Speaker 3: his best in the box.
Speaker 2: In the box and.
Speaker 3: He's able to play downhill. When you put them in space,
Speaker 3: especially whenever it's sitting in the underneath and in the flats,
Speaker 3: that's when things get a little bit dicey with Stewart.
Speaker 3: You push them back, you give them room to work,
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden he's got a little
Speaker 3: bit more toward his skill set.
Speaker 2: And I think we've seen maybe that same thought. Probably
Speaker 2: he lays some hits last week too. Yeah, you lay
Speaker 2: some hits week. He's a hitter.
Speaker 3: He'll come down and hit you. Even when he was
Speaker 3: playing corner, which is what you need. You didn't have
Speaker 3: a whole lot of lead up time to make a hit.
Speaker 1: But even still, can you get down.
Speaker 2: That's the only that's to be physical. That's the only problem.
Speaker 1: I don't say problem, but that's the only thing that
Speaker 1: I see as a potential problem for the Cowboys based
Speaker 1: upon their current availability. Julius will hit her, Marque's Bill
Speaker 1: hitter ready, Stewart hit her. These are all strong safe.
Speaker 1: These guys are not free steating. They're not true free safeties.
Speaker 1: Now that you can ask them to play free safety,
Speaker 1: but that's not their true position based upon their skill set.
Speaker 1: All three of those guys that you have available to
Speaker 1: you are true strong safety.
Speaker 3: How would you combat that from a scheme standpoint? Because
Speaker 3: if you're talking single high coverage and you're having that
Speaker 3: the over the top guy, you don't really have that
Speaker 3: right now, how do you try and combat that? If
Speaker 3: you're mad Eberflus and you look at that defensive side
Speaker 3: with what you have available.
Speaker 2: To you, you don't have. There's nothing that you can
Speaker 2: truly put out. That's that's my point.
Speaker 4: That's why you read the article on the duck com
Speaker 4: not and you go when you get one of these,
Speaker 4: Because I mean, we could say the name just the
Speaker 4: Simmons is out there just waiting.
Speaker 2: For a lot of people have started throwing that name.
Speaker 4: Just waiting for a call. He's one Marcus May's out
Speaker 4: there just waiting for a call. Now, are well either
Speaker 4: of these guys do you need to look at either
Speaker 4: of these guys, as you know, season.
Speaker 1: Changers, no, but these in turn solutions.
Speaker 4: But when you talk about stabilizing the safety position, we're
Speaker 4: band guys who have skins on the wall.
Speaker 2: Okay. So I'll ask you this.
Speaker 1: If you were to go sign one of those guys,
Speaker 1: are you signing them just for temporary service? I'm signing
Speaker 1: them for the remainder of the year.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So when all your other guys get healthy, barring so
Speaker 1: that those guys all get healthy, then what do you do?
Speaker 1: Hot hand?
Speaker 4: Okay, hot hand seven hundred and seventy seven straight sevens
Speaker 4: hot hand. I mean, but think about it, think about
Speaker 4: it from this capacity, right we don't here Let's say, uh,
Speaker 4: let's say we talk about let's keep it to free. Okay.
Speaker 4: So Malik is down. Before Milik went down, wasn't playing great.
Speaker 4: A part of that is due to the fact that
Speaker 4: he started dealing with the toe issue. But you know,
Speaker 4: you don't know when he comes back, how soon it
Speaker 4: be before he gets back to peak Milik or if
Speaker 4: he gets back to peak Melik this season.
Speaker 6: So if to be fair, like I said, it wasn't
Speaker 6: playing great before the injury.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: And so that part of that.
Speaker 6: Was the miscommunications on defense throughout the first half of.
Speaker 1: All of that's true, and all of that matters.
Speaker 4: Now when you talk about bringing in a guy, let's
Speaker 4: say Justin Simmons, because he's one of the ones that
Speaker 4: that I named and we're talking about the free safety position.
Speaker 4: If Justin Simpsons Simmons comes in and he's getting he's
Speaker 4: playing good football for you, and Malik Hooker is ready,
Speaker 4: probably for depth. Is for nothing else, depth and leadership.
Speaker 4: You activate Malik to the active roster. But you seriously
Speaker 4: look at the look at it from a competitive standpoint.
Speaker 4: You says Justin Simmons, now in the building, is he
Speaker 4: playing good football for us over these first one or
Speaker 4: two games that he's with us, just hypothetically speaking, And
Speaker 4: if he is, then you let him continue. There's no
Speaker 4: reason to not because there's not this you know, Okay,
Speaker 4: Deron Bland equation. All right, So Deron Bland goes down
Speaker 4: with injury and the next guy up, and the next
Speaker 4: guy up is he's playing well. Okay, he's playing well,
Speaker 4: but he's still not Deron Blank brock Kauffman.
Speaker 2: He was playing well.
Speaker 4: But we sat here and said, when the conversation turned
Speaker 4: to fans are asking, well, should we put Cooper b
Speaker 4: B back in? Well, now you see why you should
Speaker 4: put Cooper b B back in. So that's what I mean.
Speaker 4: It's at the safety position. There is not that discussion
Speaker 4: to be had as far as say, well, if you
Speaker 4: sign a guy like Justin Simmons and he's coming in
Speaker 4: he's playing well, you can honestly look at a guy
Speaker 4: like Mallie Cooker and say you are damn good depth
Speaker 4: until he starts playing poorly. If he does, and then
Speaker 4: you know, then we have that conversation.
Speaker 2: You don't have to rush those guys.
Speaker 4: That's what I mean competing every you don't have a
Speaker 4: marquee guy that you have to be like shit.
Speaker 3: Whoever wants to sign as a safety here in Dallas
Speaker 3: wouldn't only have an opportunity to stick.
Speaker 2: For this year.
Speaker 3: And I think that's kind of what Isaiah you're leading to.
Speaker 3: You have a chance to stick for a good amount
Speaker 3: of time. Remember, Malie Hooker was a late signee in
Speaker 3: the process himself. He was a training camp signee off
Speaker 3: of the free agent market that that didn't happen, thinking, oh,
Speaker 3: Malie Cooker is going to be here for the next
Speaker 3: five seasons.
Speaker 2: He's the guy. It was. It was, hey, here's a.
Speaker 3: One two year deal, and then he continued to stick
Speaker 3: around from one defensive coordinator to the next defensive coordinator.
Speaker 2: To the next.
Speaker 3: And now you've got a similar situation for whoever comes
Speaker 3: in off the street because Donovan Wilson hasn't played well,
Speaker 3: Malie Cooker hasn't played well.
Speaker 2: Wanya Thomas stepped up.
Speaker 3: But he's been hurt. Exactly what are you competing against
Speaker 3: right now?
Speaker 6: And I think you had the indicator in there you're
Speaker 6: saying that he's sort of stuck around. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 6: you don't need guys that stick around it like that,
Speaker 6: you need the guy that absolutely dominates that spot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we're gonna take our first break.
Speaker 3: When we come back, we've got QB vision on the
Speaker 3: other side of the break. As we flip our page
Speaker 3: to the Arizona Cardinals defense and the Dallas Cowboys offense,
Speaker 3: how do they rebound against this Cardinals defense?
Speaker 2: And are there some weapons on their.
Speaker 3: Side of the ball When we come back with more
Speaker 3: talking Cowboys after this.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 2: I'm home.
Speaker 4: Hey, mom, before you ask, I've done my homework and
Speaker 4: the dishwashers unloading.

Speaker 1: go review the film. What do they do well? What
Speaker 1: don't they do well? What contributors need to change? But
Speaker 1: more importantly, what does Dallas do well? They need to
Speaker 1: try to take the Arizona that'll be in for Don Calboy.
Speaker 2: I lost my hairs to hear me good, all right?
Speaker 1: Arizona is a too high safety team. They are also
Speaker 1: a three to four team, A three to four team

Speaker 2: Dalvin Thomlinson do you guys know that Yep?
Speaker 1: Pretty good? They got They got a couple of big
Speaker 1: guys up front, but they really lean on their linebackers
Speaker 1: and their safeties to be the playmakers. These guys. This
Speaker 1: is a team that runs ahead. I told you guys
Speaker 1: last week about the Denver Broncos defense, and some people
Speaker 1: said that we were glazing. I believe the term was
Speaker 1: glazing glazing because we were keeping it one hundred about
Speaker 1: the Broncos defense, right Hm, things that make you go okay,
Speaker 1: So this is not the Broncos defense. These guys do
Speaker 1: not pass rush very well now at all. As a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, they're bottom five in the league in
Speaker 1: terms of pass rust, but they're also top five in
Speaker 1: terms of split safeties. These guys play two high shale
Speaker 1: as much as possible. They want to have three down
Speaker 1: linemen four linebackers on the field at all times. If
Speaker 1: you decide that you want to pass the ball, these
Speaker 1: guys will put two down linemen, I repeat, two down linemen,
Speaker 1: five guys at the at the sorry, four guys at
Speaker 1: the second level. And they like to put how many
Speaker 1: guys in back? Five guys in the back? Okay, so
Speaker 1: that is how they get to their quote unquote dime package.
Speaker 1: They'll take a couple of linemen out and they'll put
Speaker 1: just two guys at the front line.
Speaker 2: What do they do well?
Speaker 1: They communicate very well in their secondary They really be nice.
Speaker 2: It is nice to watch.
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of pretty to watch actually watching guys
Speaker 1: run routes across the zones because that's what they run.
Speaker 1: I think they the second most zone team in the league,
Speaker 1: even more than doub Sorry I don't want to say
Speaker 1: that word on this shoddy sorry wow, but the second
Speaker 1: most zone ran by this team in the league.
Speaker 2: They pass off coverage very well.
Speaker 1: If you're running a route across the formation trying to
Speaker 1: get to the gaps in their in their zone coverage, they.
Speaker 2: Communicate very well.
Speaker 1: Hey, Josh over over, over, and Josh is like, got
Speaker 1: it right. So I don't have to follow you into
Speaker 1: the other zone. I don't have to feel like I'm
Speaker 1: the guy that's responsible because I have full confidence that Josh,
Speaker 1: you're gonna do your job.
Speaker 2: And if that guy keeps keeps going, what are you
Speaker 2: gonna say to Pat?
Speaker 1: Get that guy?
Speaker 2: Get that guy over there? Got him? And no, he says,
Speaker 2: got him? So they passed off very well, so you
Speaker 2: get your How does that help?
Speaker 1: So if I don't have a good pass rush, but
Speaker 1: I communicate very well on the back end, I play
Speaker 1: a ton of zone. It doesn't allow for you to
Speaker 1: push the ball down the field, and it gives my
Speaker 1: d line that is not a great pass rushing to
Speaker 1: opportunity to get in the backfield at some point in time.
Speaker 1: They don't have a lot of sacks, but they don't
Speaker 1: allow you to get beyond their coverage. These guys, their
Speaker 1: safeties play twenty twenty five yards deep. They kind of
Speaker 1: have a good safety You ever heard of them? Houdah
Speaker 1: and he went to the University up dub that's right,
Speaker 1: University of Washington.
Speaker 4: You're going to have to say it, Yeah, he's this
Speaker 4: is calling it what it is. He's one of the
Speaker 4: best safeties in the game. Facts, it has it has
Speaker 4: been for a very long time.
Speaker 2: But these guys, I was trying to do such a swist.
Speaker 1: He's most effective near the line of scrimmage because he's
Speaker 1: just a heat seeking missile.
Speaker 2: But they're not using him the way that they have
Speaker 2: in years past. Good. So it is very good for
Speaker 2: the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: But if you're running across the middle and you're running
Speaker 1: into his own you might want to have your head
Speaker 1: on a swivel, yeah, because he will knock your head
Speaker 1: off your shoulders. Legally, that is that Buddha isn't about peace, No,
Speaker 1: not at all at all.
Speaker 2: So overall that Baker's not about cupcakes. I'm sorry, what
Speaker 2: is it? What is my game?
Speaker 1: If I'm going Schottenheimer going against this defense, you guys
Speaker 1: are silly. I want to run the ball. Three down linemen,
Speaker 1: two down linemen should not be able to stop your
Speaker 1: running attack. There are natural running lanes that are already
Speaker 1: apparent for teams that run three four defense. Because you
Speaker 1: have a zero or one technique, you have two, three
Speaker 1: or five techniques. There's gaps, natural gaps between your guard
Speaker 1: and your tackle. Right between between your center and your tackle,
Speaker 1: there's a natural gap. There's nobody there. Okay, So your
Speaker 1: guards are typically unimpeded to work up to the linebackers,
Speaker 1: and they have some very active linebackers. These are not
Speaker 1: your average linebackers. These guys will come downhill, they'll hit
Speaker 1: you in the face, and they shed blocks very well,
Speaker 1: and they run and hit to the ball. I like
Speaker 1: their linebackers at the second level, but I think that
Speaker 1: we should be able to run the ball. So this
Speaker 1: is a Javante Williams game. Who else is this a
Speaker 1: game for? This is a game for Ferguson, Jake Ferguson.
Speaker 1: Reason why is because their guys get so much depth.
Speaker 1: They are so concerned with backing off and keeping everything
Speaker 1: in front of them that I already mentioned that their
Speaker 1: secondary plays. They're saying, if he's played twenty to twenty
Speaker 1: five yards deep, they're saying, no, ceedee Lamb, No, George Piggins,
Speaker 1: you're not running behind us.
Speaker 2: No, you can.
Speaker 3: You can utilize those guys underneath as well, especially C
Speaker 3: d CD. You've talked about yards after the catch and
Speaker 3: the short overs and absolutely absolutely the slam routes.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's where he's gonna be able to eat
Speaker 2: screen for sure.
Speaker 1: For sure, everything underneath ten yards they're running every one
Speaker 1: so on a while, diffree ransom everything underneath ten yards
Speaker 1: you should be able to eat them up.
Speaker 2: But they are allowing that. They're saying, take that, bringing
Speaker 2: it on, take that.
Speaker 1: And I can't say who said that, but they're saying,
Speaker 1: everything under ten to twelve yards you can have it.
Speaker 1: We will play downhill, but we're not gonna allow for
Speaker 1: you to get the big play over the top. So
Speaker 1: they're pretty much saying, if you either show us that
Speaker 1: you can have a sustained drive or you just kick
Speaker 1: field goals all day long. That's what they're pretty much
Speaker 1: telling you to do. That's where they rest assured. That's
Speaker 1: where they're confident. This is a good defense. This is
Speaker 1: not a scary defense, but this is a good defense
Speaker 1: in the form of the fact that these guys cover well.
Speaker 1: Their corners are sticky, these guys pass off coverage well
Speaker 1: in their zones, and they will run and hit to
Speaker 1: they'll running hit at the ball. I like their defense.
Speaker 1: I think there are strong defense. I think that's the
Speaker 1: only reason why they've been competitive in these games. Their
Speaker 1: offense has been trash. We'll talk about that tomorrow. But
Speaker 1: their defense has kept them competitive in every single ball
Speaker 1: game that they've been in this year.
Speaker 2: They have a sound defense for one.
Speaker 6: Yes, the one thing that I'm concerned about if you're
Speaker 6: talking about running the ball is, of course you have
Speaker 6: Javonte Williams. But obviously we've been seeing them try to
Speaker 6: spell in Jayden Blue. He had his first fumble last week.
Speaker 6: That was something that we had all considered about Jaydon Blue.
Speaker 6: That was his knock in the draft. If you have
Speaker 6: a guy like Buddha Baker going up and how good
Speaker 6: he is in run defense, to me, that spells trouble.
Speaker 1: And it's not even just Buddha. Let's go through their linebackers. Please,
Speaker 1: Mac Wilson number two, that dude would knock your head off.
Speaker 1: Browning number five, he's okay, I like him. Middle linebacker
Speaker 1: ten Akeem Davis Gaither.
Speaker 2: Number twenty five, I like. I like twenty five as well.
Speaker 2: Twenty five.
Speaker 1: Zavian Collins, he will knock your head off as well.
Speaker 1: He's in there often because they run so many linebackers,
Speaker 1: or run four linebackers at a time. Obviously they have
Speaker 1: some names. Okay, Kalais Campbell on the defensive front.
Speaker 2: He's old. He's been in the league for a while,
Speaker 2: but thirty nine years old.
Speaker 1: But he's still he's still product. Look, he's still productive.
Speaker 1: Josh Sweat. You guys have heard that name before. Yep,
Speaker 1: he's a big d d N.
Speaker 2: They call him an outside linebacker. Super Bowl MVP. Arguably
Speaker 2: he's Yeah, he was in that conversation. He's not what
Speaker 2: he was. He's not what he was.
Speaker 1: I think you used to have to respect him for
Speaker 1: being productive player. But he's not threatening. He's not what
Speaker 1: they brought him in to be.
Speaker 2: I'll say that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they have a couple of guys up front,
Speaker 1: doesn't have the guys around him to be that way.
Speaker 1: I'm not concerned about their front. I'm really not concerned
Speaker 1: about their front. I am, especially with back to Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: BB doesn't have a big challenge in the middle.
Speaker 6: Now, let me talk about their front for a second,
Speaker 6: because about it. One of the things that they really
Speaker 6: like to do is rotate their defensive line. Yes, and
Speaker 6: I was looking at it. As far as the rotation goes,
Speaker 6: Dante still's fifty four percent of the defensive snaps. Kalais
Speaker 6: Campbell forty seven, Dalvin Tomlinson forty eight, Darius Robinson fifty
Speaker 6: one percent. For me, looking at that, that spells shoddy.
Speaker 6: Deck and Clayton Adams need to rely on fast offense,
Speaker 6: being able to control the ball and not let them
Speaker 6: sub in and out like they like to do when
Speaker 6: they have a split like that. You need to test
Speaker 6: out their what is their conditioning? You need to rely
Speaker 6: on a fast paced, up tempo offense. For me, that
Speaker 6: would be a great idea going into it. I don't
Speaker 6: know if that's going to be sustainable because you do
Speaker 6: want to be able to control the clock as much
Speaker 6: as possible, But at least for me, that kind of
Speaker 6: eliminates that thing that they love to do in spelling
Speaker 6: those guys in and out.
Speaker 4: This is a game where this is a defense that
Speaker 4: you want to play in order to get a bounce
Speaker 4: back game from your offense. Because when you talk about
Speaker 4: what everything that Denver did, Will was everything that we
Speaker 4: particularly last week's QB vision, Isaiah Standback told you that
Speaker 4: Denver would probably do well. So he knows ball right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: allegedly you have to Yeah, you have to establish the run. Yeah,
Speaker 4: for sure, you have to do it.
Speaker 1: You just have to do it.
Speaker 4: I don't know why I'm having to say this for
Speaker 4: another week when Javonte Williams because this is this will
Speaker 4: not be one two Yeah, third week where I've actually
Speaker 4: had to say this, Give Javonte Williams the ball. Give
Speaker 4: Javonte Williams the ball. Give Javonte Williams the ball. You
Speaker 4: made an excellent point. The front the interior of the
Speaker 4: defensive line for the Cardinals that we know Kalais Campbell,
Speaker 4: we know Josh Sweat Edge guys, whatever. But as far
Speaker 4: as like interior, you see Kallais Pai play interior. Yeah,
Speaker 4: once in a while. Well, but it's not that dominant
Speaker 4: defensive interior that needs to be moved around or that
Speaker 4: it's going to be challenging to move around. Okay, So
Speaker 4: if Cooper bb is back as Stephen Jones and in
Speaker 4: front office believes that they will, the lanes.
Speaker 1: Will be there.
Speaker 2: Tomson is not the guy that he used to be.
Speaker 1: He's just he's not.
Speaker 4: The lanes are going to be there. Give Javanti the ball.
Speaker 4: Let him establish that this is the Cardinals defense that
Speaker 4: allows more than four yards per carry on the ground,
Speaker 4: more than four yards per carry. So Bot statistically by average.
Speaker 4: That means if you give Javonte the ball, giving the
Speaker 4: ball on first down, it's second and six.
Speaker 1: Yep, getting all on second, third and two. So that's
Speaker 1: just this is what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: And then you can play off the play action there
Speaker 4: because they do an excellent job. Like I said said,
Speaker 4: their coverage does an excellent job of not letting you
Speaker 4: get behind them.
Speaker 1: They're one of the best in.
Speaker 4: The league at not giving up the deep ball they do.
Speaker 4: They are effective at keeping guys in front of them.
Speaker 2: So what do you do.
Speaker 4: You use Javonte Williams because I believe in Javonte, use
Speaker 4: him to set up the play action, and the rest
Speaker 4: has to playoff of that. Yeah, but keep keep your
Speaker 4: head on the swivel because y'all sweat still impactful, I
Speaker 4: think when he's at five sacks.
Speaker 2: Right now, but usually that's cover sacks though, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: So to that point, to that point, they do a
Speaker 4: good job in coverage and communicating and keeping things in
Speaker 4: front of you, making Dak Prescott and other quarterbacks have
Speaker 4: to hold the ball alonger than they want to, giving
Speaker 4: Joshuit an opportunity to comps back there. How do you
Speaker 4: neutralize that run the ball that way, you make the
Speaker 4: coverage play more honest, and it goes from there.
Speaker 3: So with all of this being said, I'm looking at
Speaker 3: this matchup for the Dallas offense to be one where
Speaker 3: they have to sustain drives.
Speaker 2: Sure, I'm talking.
Speaker 3: Eleven twelve play drives where you're running the football effectively,
Speaker 3: you're moving the chains every so often, and you kind
Speaker 3: of dink and dunk your way down the field, which
Speaker 3: isn't necessarily what Dallas is used to. They like to
Speaker 3: strike for the big play, but they can drive down
Speaker 3: the field when they need to. The Arizona defense has
Speaker 3: been so good at executing that and forcing teams into
Speaker 3: that box. And you don't even have to go further
Speaker 3: than their final scores to see how good they are
Speaker 3: at doing that. They're in the mid twenties almost every game.
Speaker 3: Twenty seven to twenty three against Green Bay, twenty two
Speaker 3: to twenty one against Tennessee, twenty three to twenty against Seattle,
Speaker 3: even lower than that against San Francisco sixteen to fifteen
Speaker 3: final score. Oh, it was twenty seven to twenty two
Speaker 3: against Carolina and then twenty to thirteen.
Speaker 2: Only one team in any of.
Speaker 3: Their games out of the what is if they've played
Speaker 3: seven games. Out of the fourteen possible performances for an offense,
Speaker 3: only one team has scored more than thirty points, including Arizona.
Speaker 3: One team has scored only thirty points, and that was
Speaker 3: the Indianapolis Colts, and they went thirty one their top.
Speaker 3: They don't give up points because they don't give up big.
Speaker 6: All five losses have been come by a combined thirteen points.
Speaker 2: That's a historic stat.
Speaker 6: By the way, Shosta, Nick Eatman used to please, never mind.
Speaker 3: Oh that was gonna be my Yeah, that was gonna
Speaker 3: be my key wise daut of the week. But keep going,
Speaker 3: keep going. Sorry, sorry, Now we've got to reset. We're
Speaker 3: gonna be We're gonna make our sea.
Speaker 2: Josh, you're crazy.

Speaker 2: So I have to take him to one of their locations. Absolutely,
Speaker 2: really good man.
Speaker 3: I don't we don't get any extra bread to talk
Speaker 3: about it, but it's it's good stuff.
Speaker 2: We get extra beans kind of all right.
Speaker 3: To playoff of Josh's stat of the week from that
Speaker 3: je sorry, each of the cardinals five losses has been
Speaker 3: by one score with the opponent taking the lead with
Speaker 3: under five minutes remaining in the game.
Speaker 2: They are at two and five.
Speaker 3: But don't be fooled by the two and five record.
Speaker 3: Let's just go in order here Week three against the
Speaker 3: forty nine ers, they lost by one with a walk
Speaker 3: off field goal.
Speaker 2: Seahawks lost by three with a walk off field goal. Tea.
Speaker 3: Week five, Titans lost by one with a walk off
Speaker 3: field goal. Colts lost by four go ahead touchdown with
Speaker 3: four thirty two left in the game, eating scoring attackers
Speaker 3: twenty seven to twenty three go ahead touchdown with one
Speaker 3: fifty left in the game. The five losses by a
Speaker 3: combined thirteen points is tied with the twenty seventeen San
Speaker 3: Francisco forty nine Ers for the closest point margin and
Speaker 3: a five game losing streak by any team in NFL history.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that. There you go, Thank you, Kyle,
Speaker 2: Thanks Nick.
Speaker 5: Gave.
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's the uh, that's the extra, the sprinkle
Speaker 3: on top of don't take these guys lightly.
Speaker 2: No, they're good defense, man. They can play, and they've
Speaker 2: been close, and it's some of the reasons.
Speaker 1: That's being honest with you. Ill said already this defense
Speaker 1: is the only reason why those games have been close. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I repeat, Their defense is the only reason why these
Speaker 1: games have been close. Their offense, which we will get
Speaker 1: to tomorrow, is not the reason for the season. Their
Speaker 1: defense is good. Okay, this is a good defense.
Speaker 2: It's not scary.
Speaker 1: It's not even frightening at all. Halloween this weekend, it's
Speaker 1: not spooky. But you have to respect them because they
Speaker 1: don't make a lot of mistakes, and defenses that are
Speaker 1: steady and consistent those are the ones that you kind
Speaker 1: of have to worry about. Right, this is not an
Speaker 1: interception team. This is a forced fumble type team. Right.
Speaker 1: If you don't protect the ball, they'll hit you your
Speaker 1: chest cavity and the ball will be out and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden.
Speaker 3: Any running back, they'll give the ball to Jacob mh
Speaker 3: They give the ball to Jacobe Pressett, not Kyler Murray.
Speaker 6: But do you think that the air the Cardinals offenses
Speaker 6: to look terrible again against the Dallas Cowboys do either coming.
Speaker 1: Off a bye, No, just guard tradement, brighton, they have
Speaker 1: another guy out there.
Speaker 2: We're talking about this. I think this, I mean, this
Speaker 2: is a perfect opportunity.
Speaker 1: I said it.
Speaker 2: Oh, I said again.
Speaker 4: It's a perfect opportunity for the Cowboys offense to mounce back.
Speaker 4: And the fact that you're playing at home where you
Speaker 4: typically have been doing well at home offensively forty forty
Speaker 4: forty four.
Speaker 2: Just get back to that. I don't think we're gonna
Speaker 2: get forty Burger, No, I'm not saying.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying I think you're going to get forty
Speaker 4: and we'll get to predictions on Friday, don't.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to predict for getting there. But I
Speaker 4: do think that you can. I think you can surpass thirty.
Speaker 4: I think you can get past thirty with with what you.
Speaker 3: Saw against Denver this past week. You see that this
Speaker 3: offense is human. From the Dallas side of things, what
Speaker 3: they've done well is strike for the big play, quick
Speaker 3: strikeability George pick and ce d Lamb over the middle
Speaker 3: of the field. Jake Ferguson is kind of your safety blanket.
Speaker 3: Like Isaiah said, this is a big game for Javante
Speaker 3: and for Jake. How much do you see George Pickens
Speaker 3: getting involved in different ways than he has in previous weeks,
Speaker 3: in different ways, different ways because the deep ball may
Speaker 3: not be there.
Speaker 2: It may not and that's kind of been his calling
Speaker 2: cards since he arrived.
Speaker 4: But here's how you here's how you facilitate the deep
Speaker 4: ball executive games now without him scoring.
Speaker 2: One since since CD got back, Right, Yeah, you're right,
Speaker 2: it is two games.
Speaker 4: Oh the deep pass that that yeah he's going on. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so okay, so I don't see that continuing. But so
Speaker 4: then yes, I do think Pickens gets into them.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like this, since CD has gotten back,
Speaker 1: George Pickens has not made the Titan Zoe correct fair.
Speaker 2: He's had seventy plus yards receiving.
Speaker 4: Any of those disagree with that, staving facts, still saying
Speaker 4: to run the ball. You know, one way to facilitate
Speaker 4: the deep ball. As you run the ball, so exaid
Speaker 4: the play action, which then forces Bude Baker and those
Speaker 4: those defensive backs to cheat Ford.
Speaker 1: As soon as you cheat Ford, it's old crap.
Speaker 2: You're receives, should you.
Speaker 1: I mean you're gonna have to throw the ball underneath, right,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you don't take shots down, but
Speaker 1: you have to set that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you set it.
Speaker 1: I have to set that up. They're gonna give you underneath.
Speaker 1: Your receivers are gonna take hits. So yeah, get stretched,
Speaker 1: get massages.
Speaker 2: Whatever it is.
Speaker 1: Like this is their linebackers are gonna hit the crap
Speaker 1: out of you. You probably catch the ball, but they're
Speaker 1: gonna hit the crap out of you. So let me
Speaker 1: say you better buckle up for that one.
Speaker 4: So I saw your face when I said I think
Speaker 4: the Cowboys can can get thirty plus.
Speaker 1: I don't know. They didn't get forty.
Speaker 4: But here's where if I had to break it down,
Speaker 4: I think, if you do what you're supposed to do,
Speaker 4: Javon to Williams gets two touchdowns, that's fourteen points right there.
Speaker 1: You know why why I'm hard fetched to agree with
Speaker 1: you on the thirty points this week because their their
Speaker 1: style of play. Defensively agree they don't. They don't allow explosives.
Speaker 1: They don't they don't allow explosives. And on top of that,
Speaker 1: the they win time of possession a majority of their games.
Speaker 1: That's part of how they're built. You know, you know
Speaker 1: how to flip that. But in order to score thirty
Speaker 1: say it with me. Run the ball, Absolutely, run the ball.
Speaker 1: But I'm which I obviously you guys know, I'm a
Speaker 1: whole hearted believer. Yeah, but there's only so many possessions
Speaker 1: for a team that consistently does a good job of
Speaker 1: getting you off the field right or allowing for you
Speaker 1: to letting you get down here to the rezone, and
Speaker 1: you got to kick field goals.
Speaker 2: There's only so many possessions that you're gonna possess, and.
Speaker 6: If your defense doesn't have any interest in getting off
Speaker 6: the field, then we'll get to that that will be an.
Speaker 2: Issue that well, that's kind of where I'm at.
Speaker 3: If we're going to see thirty points in this game,
Speaker 3: then it's probably going to be because your defense also
Speaker 3: allows thirty points. For being completely honest, it's going to
Speaker 3: be your defense getting pushed around, not because of what
Speaker 3: Arizona has, but because of the discrepancies that you have
Speaker 3: on your own unit. I don't think Arizona's scary offensive.
Speaker 1: I think this is a field goal game for both teams. Okay,
Speaker 1: and obviously we'll talk about their offense, but I'm.
Speaker 2: Just trying to get fantasy points for Brandon or Brandon
Speaker 2: Obty is gonna have a day.
Speaker 1: It's hard for me to and I would love to
Speaker 1: have full confidence at our offense just march down the
Speaker 1: field and scores touchdowns. I'm saying, based upon what we
Speaker 1: have seen from our offense and the style of play
Speaker 1: that our offense has, I don't have the confidence right
Speaker 1: now that this is a ten to fourteen play team.
Speaker 2: I just I don't current in terms of dry, in
Speaker 2: terms of dry and I completely yeah, they've not shown that.
Speaker 2: I'm not shown that. And then when you get to
Speaker 2: the red zone.
Speaker 1: The closer you get to Arizona's end zone, the better
Speaker 1: their defense gets because you have less space.
Speaker 2: Now Buddha gets involved.
Speaker 1: Now they're linebackers, all four of them, sometimes five of them, right,
Speaker 1: are able to span the width of the field. Right,
Speaker 1: So if you're not running the ball effectually, there's nowhere
Speaker 1: to go with the ball. There's just a lot of
Speaker 1: small windows. So Ben, but don't break, Ben, but no break, Ben,
Speaker 1: but no break? Okay, our backs against the wall?
Speaker 2: Now now what no? Right?
Speaker 1: Now we go hunt right, So, and that's where field
Speaker 1: goals come in, because if you can't find those small
Speaker 1: little windows opportunity, or even if you do find them,
Speaker 1: if you don't convert on them, then you're gonna find
Speaker 1: your so king of field goals and they're like clack, clap, bravos.
Speaker 4: So this is what you're hoping that you learned. You're
Speaker 4: hoping Brian Schottenhummer learned from the Denver game.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: When you get down there to the end zone or
Speaker 4: near the end zone, goal to goal, red zone, whatever.
Speaker 4: Don't get cute because this is not the defense to
Speaker 4: get cute against. This is not the defense to you know,
Speaker 4: it's it's first and goal, second and goal, and you
Speaker 4: want to you know, no when you're down there, making
Speaker 4: no hand the ball off because again they're averaging. I
Speaker 4: looked at up is specifically four point two yards per
Speaker 4: carry on the ground.
Speaker 1: They're allowing that.
Speaker 4: So that being said, if it's goal to go from
Speaker 4: the four, mathematically speaking, you should score.
Speaker 1: If you hand the ball off to seventy plays for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offensively, how many times do you want them
Speaker 1: running the ball? Seventy play thirty five?
Speaker 2: You want fifty to fifty. I'll tell you balance.
Speaker 1: I'll take thirty, yeah, probably thirty, Ill take third.
Speaker 2: I was thinking thirty and thirty fivety runs.
Speaker 1: Forty passes.
Speaker 4: Based on what you're saying, based on seventy, sure, based
Speaker 4: on seventy, Yeah, thirty and forty.
Speaker 3: I'd get I'd go forty and thirty. Then if it's
Speaker 3: seventy forty thirty.
Speaker 1: What keep in mind? So i would go thirty forty.
Speaker 4: But in those forty passes, I'm looking at quasi runs
Speaker 4: as well, So some include some screens, some quick insids.
Speaker 4: Maybe get get Kavante Turpin involved underneath this quick checkdown.
Speaker 4: Jake Ferguson, he is quick checkdowns to Jake Ferguson. So
Speaker 4: when people hear me say forty passes, I don't want
Speaker 4: them to think, oh, well, you want Dake Priscott to
Speaker 4: air it out. That's not what I'm saying. This is
Speaker 4: not the defense to air it out. I'm saying you're
Speaker 4: going to have checkdowns, You're going to have a screens
Speaker 4: include that, don't don't run screens. So checkdowns, it's quick
Speaker 4: inside slants, quick hits.
Speaker 2: Why why no screens because the.
Speaker 1: Guys that are going to have to block for you
Speaker 1: in the screen game can't block their linebackers.
Speaker 2: And they can't get out there.
Speaker 1: I agree with that.
Speaker 2: So they have a physic physical second level with that.
Speaker 1: So quick.
Speaker 4: There's window when underneath, but you gotta get to all
Speaker 4: point itches your inside slance ye stuff.
Speaker 6: Like that big game for Brevian span Ford coming up.
Speaker 2: Maybe hey they tried. They got to move on with Stanford.
Speaker 2: If you oh my god, Spanford, he's been blocking. It's nice.
Speaker 2: Tony likes his blocking on Tony's teach tape or whatever.
Speaker 5: Gym.
Speaker 4: Yeah, spider Man, spider Man, spider Man, Sperman, gold Man.
Speaker 3: All right, that's gonna do it for us here on
Speaker 3: Talking Cowboys. Thanks Isaiah, good to see you, guys. Man
Speaker 3: learned a lot about this Arizona defense for Patrick Walker,
Speaker 3: Josh Rodriguez, Isaiah Stanley.
