Now, I probably should start c 33 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 7: sting your base here. 34 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 8: There a reason why we're having this conversation. 35 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 3: I don't know. 36 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,199 Speaker 2: In my mind, it came my mind. I just wanted 37 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: to know. I was just there may be a reason 38 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 2: that we don't do that. But I don't know. Maybe 39 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 2: maybe by. 40 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 8: Tomorrow that's there famous quote, is there a reason why? 41 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 8: Is there a reason why this and that isn't the 42 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 8: right way to do this?

Because 50 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 2: you may not know the reason and maybe a legitimate reason. 51 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 6: That phrase has made me better with conflicts, so I 52 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 6: could not I could not give Derek flack for that. 53 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 3: I know. 54 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 7: I know your favorite season is Christmas, so I need 55 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 7: to start I need to start adding your Christmas music. 56 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: Yes, that would be great, Like we could run through 57 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: this Christmas and it gives it just gives a different 58 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 2: vibe we feel good when we hear music, right, yeah, 59 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 2: and everybody. I let's get to the scouting. 60 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 3: No, I'm. 61 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 9: Apologize for me. I'm the reason the show's late today. 62 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 9: Impologized for that. My mom sorry about that. I was 63 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,399 Speaker 9: running late today. And another thing is, uh, my son 64 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 9: is in conflict right now because he's trying to sell 65 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 9: his SEC ticket to the championship game. So now he's 66 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 9: asking me questions about it. So I'm sorry I had 67 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 9: to handle family matters. 68 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 2: Parenting always comes parenting, I'm sorry, it always comes from Yes. 69 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 3: Music is good for everybody, thank you. 70 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 2: Chris is on the same pace. 71 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 3: So good for Christmas. Big Fantom Music. 72 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: Handle that for us. So I'll start working on Christmas music. Yeah, 73 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 2: all right, let's let's jump in today. I want to 74 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: start to talk. I want to start a discussion on 75 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,399 Speaker 2: Dak Prescott. He had some comments yesterday to dreey Epstein 76 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: and it was interesting. It's interesting comments he had about 77 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy. I'll read the comments and I want to 78 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 2: get your impressions on what you think. And he says, 79 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: I believe whole I believe in him wholeheartedly. I don't 80 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 2: want to necessarily get into the nuts and screws of 81 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,399 Speaker 2: it all obviously, but I think the definitely, I think 82 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: he definitely deserves a chance, another chance and a chance 83 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: to coach this team amongst more influence on his terms 84 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 2: may be a good way to say it. What do 85 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: you guys make of his endorsement. 86 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's fascinating, it's I think it's a endorsement 87 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 6: of their relationship as well. You look at the time 88 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 6: that Dak Prescott has left in his career, he probably 89 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 6: has more on the front end that he's already played. 90 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 6: I think he realizes that, and he's seen what success 91 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 6: has looked like under Mike McCarthy. You could look at 92 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 6: twenty twenty three him being an MVP runner up under 93 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 6: Mike's offense, and uh, the the quote that I found 94 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 6: very interesting though, was on his own terms. What does 95 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 6: that mean? I really just don't. I don't know what 96 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 6: that means. It could be, it could be a multitude 97 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 6: of things. Is that oversight from ownership? Is that, you know, 98 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 6: play calling not necessarily being one hundred percent in his hands. 99 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 6: I'm curious how the head coach isn't doing doing things 100 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 6: on his terms already. 101 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 9: I'm kind of conflicted on this one. Okay, I think 102 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 9: this quarterbacks are a really good politician. I think he really is. 103 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 9: I think he realizes what's about to happen, and he 104 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 9: wants to be on the right side of things, and 105 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 9: you know, if it doesn't work out, then you know, 106 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 9: he had his he had his say. He gave his say. 107 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 9: I you know, if there's been some really there's been 108 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 9: some good times, there have been some times where it 109 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 9: looks like there's been some conflict when it came to 110 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 9: the offense and what needs to be done. I think 111 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 9: I think Dak is very mindful of what lies ahead. 112 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 9: He got his deal done, the coach's deal is not done. 113 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 9: I think he's looking at this situation like, listen, I 114 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 9: don't want any I don't want any hard feelings or 115 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 9: anything at this So you you know, he's not playing 116 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 9: right now. So he's not in the light where Nick 117 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 9: Harris can walk up on a Thursday afternoon and ask 118 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 9: him a question. He's not in that light. Matter of fact, 119 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 9: it's a situation where he was doing something. Joey is 120 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 9: He and Enjoyed are very very close, you know, and 121 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 9: so she asked questions, he gives answers. His message gets 122 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 9: out that way through the media. I believe that does 123 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 9: he have some feelings about Mike, Yes, positive feelings, Yes, 124 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 9: But I think he also wants to make sure that 125 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 9: if it does in this way that he was he 126 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 9: was seen as being. I was for the coach, Ye 127 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 9: I wasn't. I'm not again to coach. If he chose 128 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 9: to be silent about this, and then you'd probably really 129 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 9: really know. But I think Dak's very very good at 130 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 9: playing this game. And I say that in an admiration. 131 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 9: I don't say that as a negative thing. I'd say 132 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 9: that as Dak Prescott is very good with the media 133 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 9: and the way he can get his message, the way 134 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 9: you know. He's not combative. He's not Aaron Rodgers. He's 135 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 9: not you know he could be. He's very calculating and 136 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 9: he thinks things out. This guy's got a master's degree 137 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 9: and stuff like this. So I kind of feel like 138 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 9: that he is trying to put his position on this 139 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 9: side of it before it potentially turns into something he 140 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 9: has no say over. 141 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 10: Well. 142 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, Dak has never been one to start 143 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 8: any kind of drama or dilemma. I don't think anything 144 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 8: other than what he said would have been an answer 145 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 8: that you would expect him to say, Like, that's an 146 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 8: answer that you expect to hear year. It's not controversial. 147 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 8: It is what it is. Even if we don't know 148 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 8: what happened controversial. 149 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 3: We don't know part of the answer though. 150 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 8: That end quote where Nick pointed it out. I mean, 151 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 8: that's that, that is what. It gives you some pause 152 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 8: and leads you to think, because sometimes even as calculated 153 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 8: as you said, Brian, even as calculated as his answer was, 154 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 8: there's some things that your brain is gonna spit out 155 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 8: like that, And he could be a simple word like 156 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 8: that one, and then now we're left to start wondering, way, 157 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 8: like what are you trying to say here? That's the 158 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 8: only thing that he leads you to assumer start creating 159 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 8: in your mind. 160 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: Let me ask you this question because I read this 161 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 2: and what came to my mind was where does he 162 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 2: lack influence? Like they started with Kellvin Moore running the offense, 163 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 2: Keln Moore's out the door, He's now running the offense, 164 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 2: he's calling the place. Where does he feel like or 165 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 2: where does Dak feel like he deserves more influence? I mean, 166 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 2: we talked about it yesterday and I think the consensus 167 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 2: that we had was it's not a bad idea necessarily, 168 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 2: or to think that there's a possibility he could be back. 169 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: The one caveat being do you make a change and 170 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 2: tell him, hey, you're coming back, but you got to 171 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: do something different with an offensive coordinator. So is it 172 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 2: where is he Where does he need more influence that 173 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 2: he doesn't have right now? 174 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 9: Listen, you know I've I was in that room in 175 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 9: two thousand and five, and I've been with head coaches 176 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 9: here that had influence with player personnel. You know, whether 177 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 9: you it's whether you want to take it or not. 178 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 9: You know, you do have influence with the general manager. 179 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 9: It's a triangle here. Yeah, Jones's family on the on 180 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 9: the top, coaches on one corner, the scouts on the 181 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 9: other corner, Will McClay and and they all have a 182 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 9: say that this organization thrives in discussion. They believe in that. 183 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 9: That's you know, we've all been here, we've all worked here. 184 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 9: We understand what that is over there. So I don't 185 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 9: know where he's going with that. Maybe maybe there was 186 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 9: some things with that Mike wanted. Maybe Mike wanted. 187 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 3: Joe Philbin back and didn't get him back. 188 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 9: Maybe he wanted Rob Davis to be here, didn't get 189 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 9: Rob Davis here anymore. You know, maybe Mike is going 190 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 9: up and saying, hey, listen, pal, they're trying to work 191 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 9: you with your contract. Just I'm just thinking out loud here. 192 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 9: I'm not you know, I'm just thinking, you know, hey, 193 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 9: you know, him and Mike talking, Hey, they're trying to 194 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 9: work you on that contract. 195 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 3: Huh, and just hanging there. 196 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 9: You know, you're you're, you're you know, And there's that 197 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 9: dialogue going back and forth, and maybe him and Mike 198 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 9: have a discussion about, yeah, it's gonna be a little tough. 199 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 9: I lost my line coach, you know. You know, hey, 200 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 9: we're gonna try and build this offense around you. We're 201 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 9: gonna try and do some things. Maybe that's the discussion 202 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 9: that him and Dak had that you know, they that 203 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 9: that Dak kind of realizes that I couldn't think he 204 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 9: would be mad about the front office asking to play 205 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 9: Ezekiel Elliott, that that's his guy. Yeah, you know, I mean, 206 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 9: if you if you were a guy and all of 207 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 9: a sudden, it's like the general man, which is his 208 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 9: prerogative to walk in a suggest to the head coach, 209 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 9: any general manager, that's his progative to walk in and say, hey, listen, 210 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 9: what can we think about what's what's what do we 211 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 9: are we having a problem playing Zeke? 212 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 3: Is there a problem there? You know? 213 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 9: He's not asking him to, He's just saying, is there 214 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 9: you know? And well, that's what I'm saying. 215 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying, though. 216 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 9: But as a general manager it happens every day in 217 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 9: the league. You can walk into buildings and say, I 218 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 9: remember Mike homegrin in ron Wolf Brett Farbi throwing a 219 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 9: ton of interceptions and Ron Wolf made a suggestion, do 220 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 9: we need to play Mark Burnell? And Mike said, no, no, 221 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 9: we're this guy and this quarterback and I are going 222 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 9: to get this done. Just give us time, we'll get 223 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 9: it done. So see, general managers make suggestions. But maybe 224 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 9: this is where to me, I maybe the coaching, the turnovers, 225 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 9: that that part of it wasn't exactly what Mike McCarthy 226 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 9: wanted to do, And now now he's kind of throwing 227 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 9: it out there. They're like, okay, I've had this discussion 228 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 9: with Mike, and you know, we're struggling with that aspect 229 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 9: of this game. 230 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's go ahead and move on, and 231 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 2: we're going to take our first break a little earlier. 232 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 2: When we come back, we're going to dive into the 233 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 2: Bengals offense, an interesting offense.

I think that's 335 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 6: probably the number one thing when you look at this offense. 336 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 6: When you look at the way Joe Burrow has played 337 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 6: this year, his numbers have stacked up alongside MVP winners 338 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 6: in past years. Over the course of the last decade. 339 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 6: His number of three hundred yard games and three touchdown 340 00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 6: games arrival. What Aaron Rodgers was doing during his MVP runs. 341 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 6: He's been efficient, he's been good, he's gotten multiple weapons involved. 342 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 6: The run game has gotten better as the season has 343 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 6: gone on. I'm starting to have a little bit more 344 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 6: trust in guys like Chase Brown to be able to 345 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 6: do some things for their run game. And they went 346 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 6: and got Khalil Herbert at the deadline. They haven't really 347 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 6: used him a whole lot, but that's a guy that 348 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 6: you have to factor in as well. But this offense 349 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 6: top to bottom is really good. I think there's some 350 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 6: holes in the offensive line. Certainly get them, yeah, and 351 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 6: that's where you got to get pressure on Joe Burrow. 352 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 6: But if you don't, it's going to be a long 353 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 6: day because they have I'll tell you what, they have 354 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 6: four receivers that I think could be wide receiver two, 355 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 6: wide receiver three on this offense that this is a 356 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 6: really good receiving core that I think it's so good 357 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 6: that some of these guys at the lower portion of 358 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 6: the depth chart are are very underrated just because of 359 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 6: the guys that are around them, and Jamar Chase and 360 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 6: t Higgins. 361 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 9: Blitz bothers these guys. The blitz bothers these guys, It 362 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 9: really does. And they've had some problems on the right 363 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 9: side of their offensive line. When you watch them. I 364 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 9: love the fact that my next gen stuff that you 365 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 9: guys there, that I can sit there and watch every 366 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 9: sack they've given up this year and how it's all happened. 367 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 9: And there's a constant theme about what happens with the 368 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 9: Bengals and they and I think Nick's right about their 369 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 9: running game. I think it's gotten better. But if you 370 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 9: look at the metrics overall, their numbers are very similar 371 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 9: to what the Cowboys do. 372 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 3: Very similar. 373 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 9: I mean the number of carries, the number, I mean, 374 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 9: it's just very similar. How that just shows you, you 375 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 9: know where they where they've kind of had to come from. 376 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 9: This is really all about the quarterback, and it's all 377 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 9: about the wide receivers. And but if Dallas gets into 378 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 9: a game where all of a sudden, Mike Zimmer has 379 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 9: figured out how to dial up pressure and dial up 380 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 9: blitz pressure, you can make it hard. 381 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 3: On these guys. 382 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 9: And I think that you can make it especially hard 383 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 9: on the right side of their offensive line when you watch, 384 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 9: because I sat there and I'm like, Okay, how do 385 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 9: you attack? 386 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 3: How do you attack? 387 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 9: And it was right side and make these backs have 388 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 9: to pick up make Chase Brown in those now Moss 389 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 9: early in the season, he's. 390 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 3: Now in I R. 391 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 9: Moss couldn't block anybody on a pickup. But if they're 392 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 9: gonna throw the football, you're gonna have to be able 393 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 9: to the problem is that with Jamar Chase, the ball 394 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 9: is going way down the field. Now, this is this 395 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 9: is when you when when Burrow when you start to 396 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 9: talk about deep shots and things like that, got six touchdowns. 397 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 9: Five of them are to Chase way down the field. 398 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 9: So you're gonna have to deal with that. The vertical 399 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 9: game there with t Higgins underneath, you know they're they're 400 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 9: going to target Chase in this game. But the pressure 401 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 9: bothers them in ways, and especially Blitz pressure bothers them. 402 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,239 Speaker 9: So now I'm going to try and figure out how 403 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,479 Speaker 9: to how to attack the right guard here. Alex Kappa, 404 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 9: He's the one guy that I kind of feel like 405 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 9: can get driven back. 406 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 3: We've seen better play from Osa in this football game. 407 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 9: I'm kind of matching him up and seeing it because 408 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 9: they're going to leave these guys one on one, not 409 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 9: all the time, but when they do, you got to 410 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 9: take advantage because they don't really like to double. So 411 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 9: when they lose, they're losing one on one, so. 412 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 3: Be ready for that. 413 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 9: They got a rookie right tackle and and they've got 414 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 9: to and with Alex Kappa at guard, he seems to 415 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 9: have the biggest prompts. Ted Karris, their center I think 416 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 9: is pretty good. But that's that's kind of where I 417 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 9: would focus that that right tackle with Osa and then 418 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 9: trying to bring some pressure off. 419 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 3: That which would be Dallas's left side on that rookie 420 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 3: tackle Mims a little bit. 421 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 2: The other thing to note about that is Dallas does 422 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 2: like to We've seen Mike Zimmer do it here of 423 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 2: the last few weeks. They like to slide might be 424 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 2: into that defensive tackle position as well, and all on 425 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 2: one that opportunity to be able to maybe a slide 426 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 2: him in there and take advantage of that matchup as 427 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 2: if it if that that that offensive line, I just. 428 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 3: Feel like that's the best. 429 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 9: I mean, if you if you don't get pressure on 430 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 9: these guys, this quarterback will kill you. Yeah, I mean 431 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 9: he's that type of passer. But but what happens is 432 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 9: you go and you study, now, go study the metrics 433 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 9: on this team. He holds the ball a lot and 434 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 9: you watch the sacks, he's like he's he's gonna throw 435 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,959 Speaker 9: and then he pulls it down, throw, pull down, like 436 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 9: he like he sees things. It's almost like the old 437 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 9: saying you see ghosts a little bit. It's like, but 438 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 9: he's only thrown five interceptions, you know, thirty touchdowns five 439 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 9: interceptions here, So but when you get him to pull 440 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 9: the ball down, that's when things really collapse for him. 441 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 9: So if you know the matchups on the outside, how 442 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 9: are you able to handle Chase Higgins and their receivers. 443 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 9: They've Nick's right, They've got some really really good receivers 444 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 9: and got some good young receivers too. But they but 445 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 9: they are but they are a little bit sceptible to pressure. 446 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 3: And Dallas. 447 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 9: One of the calling cards we've seen with Dallas, you 448 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 9: turn this into Dallas getting a rush of passer of 449 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 9: the whole game. That kind of plays into Dallas's hands 450 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 9: a little bit. So that's that's the one encouraging thing 451 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 9: that I would say, Uh Chase. Chase even said it 452 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 9: in a media availability last time he played digs and 453 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 9: it's it was a few years ago. One catch eight yards, 454 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 9: six yards something like that. Two targets and and Chase 455 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 9: even made the comment, he goes, that guy shut me down. 456 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, so. 457 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 9: Is he gonna play? Can you shut him down? Are 458 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 9: you gonna get fortunate? I mean, this was one of 459 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 9: Diggs's better games. We remember, third down route, across the field, 460 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 9: tackle right there, fourth down tackle again by Diggs. One 461 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 9: of the better games that he actually played against this week. Yeah, yeah, 462 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 9: see if he's active this week. So but that's that's 463 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 9: that's gonna be the recipe if you if you can. 464 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 3: Find a way to affect the their their. 465 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 9: Offensive line with pressure, that's that's gonna be your best path. 466 00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 6: You talk about this right side, and we've talked a 467 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 6: lot about Tyler Guitton and the inexperience that he had 468 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 6: coming into the season. Amarius Mims, their right tackle that 469 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 6: they got in the first round, only had eight starts 470 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 6: in his time at Georgia, compared to Tyler Guidon having fourteen. 471 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 6: So talking about raw and inexperience, you're seeing that show 472 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 6: up for both of these guys. In this instance, it's 473 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 6: just on the right side of the offensive line and 474 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 6: it's not paired well with Alex Kappa over at the 475 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 6: right guard position. I want to talk about their red 476 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 6: zone efficiency though their second in the NFL and touchdown 477 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 6: percentage in the red zone, and it makes sense because 478 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 6: you look at all of these weapons that they do 479 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 6: have in the red zone, not only Jamar Chase and 480 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 6: t Higgins, but andre Yosi Vosh He's got five touchdowns in. 481 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 2: The red zone season. 482 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, zone Princeton product, it's his second year in the NFL. 483 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 6: He's really coming into his own. He was kind of 484 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 6: one of my draft pet cats a couple of years ago, 485 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 6: so it's been really cool to see him come about. 486 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 6: But high school teammates with Marris Leofel, so there's some 487 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 6: history there as well. But this is a kid who 488 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 6: this is one of those receivers that I'm talking about. 489 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 6: This is a big body, a guy who can go 490 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 6: go get some balls in the red zone and it 491 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 6: makes life difficult when it gets in those compact situations. 492 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 6: So when this team gets in the red zone, very 493 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 6: seldomly do they not come away with a touchdown. 494 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 3: So if they do have to kick field goals or 495 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 3: kickers been a little shaky. 496 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, do you know the stats on Cowwoi's defense for 497 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 8: red zone? 498 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 6: I will get that for you. But the Cincinnati offense 499 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 6: they are scoring touchdowns on seventy one percent of their 500 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 6: red zone trips, second in the NFL, only trailing Baltimore. 501 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 2: That's impressive. All right, Let's talk a little bit about. 502 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 9: The touchdowns for that one guy, that receiver, which one 503 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 9: Chase Chase? 504 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about the run to pass ratio. Right now, 505 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 2: they are first in passing yards, fourth in pass attempts 506 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 2: in the NFL. On the other side, they're twenty seventh 507 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 2: in rush yards and thirtieth in rush attempts. They obviously 508 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 2: are very heavily skewed toward the pass. As you said, Brian, 509 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 2: my question is is their run pass ratio about them 510 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 2: more leaning into what they consider to be their strength 511 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,719 Speaker 2: or is it about them needing to score to keep 512 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 2: up with opposing offenses because their defense has been so bad. 513 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 6: I have the stat I'm sorry, I was looking for 514 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 6: it while you were asking that Dallas is dead last. 515 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 6: They give a touchdown red zone seventy of their. 516 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 2: Can you give that? Can give me that number? Look, 517 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 2: and I don't know you If you can, I would 518 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 2: love to know that number. Looking at the last two games, 519 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 2: three games, whatever it. 520 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 6: Might be, the last three, the last since they had 521 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 6: Michael back. 522 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 2: Essentially, what does it look like the. 523 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 6: Last three games, they're thirtieth and so it hasn't gone 524 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 6: up a ton. That hasn't gone up a ton. 525 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 2: All right, that's not great. 526 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 6: Only Pittsburgh and San Francisco have been worse than. 527 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 2: Keep them out of the red zone essentially. 528 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 6: But Cincinnati's defense is also been in the red zone. 529 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 6: We'll talk about that. 530 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get to that. So back to the run 531 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 2: pass ratio. What do you think is the reason for that? 532 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 3: I think they get behind in games. I think that's 533 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 3: I think that's a big problem there. 534 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 9: I think only Indie plays more more snaps out a 535 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 9: shotgun than this crew. I think they're constantly they they 536 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,719 Speaker 9: realize that they've got the receivers and they've got the 537 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 9: quarterback to be able to you know, to general and 538 00:24:58,480 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 9: they have to generate points. 539 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 3: They because they do. 540 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 9: They're I mean, we'll get into but just quickly, I 541 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 9: was just kind of like looking at you know, it's 542 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 9: looking because I was looking at Cincinnati offense. But then 543 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 9: you flip the Cincinnati defense and their numbers are very 544 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 9: similar to what like the Cowboys have. You know, it's 545 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 9: they're in the twenties and a lot of these even 546 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 9: I mean it goes back to these things like, oh 547 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 9: you should be can you take advantage of? Can you 548 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 9: take advantage of? Because Cincinnati on defense does a lot 549 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 9: of bad things. They do a lot of bad things. 550 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 9: But on the flip side of that, their offense, though, 551 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 9: makes up for that. I like I say, don't I 552 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 9: don't anticipate Cincinnati. I don't think they're going to run 553 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 9: the ball. I don't think they're going to try and 554 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 9: run the ball, but it might play into Dallas's hands 555 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 9: because of the pass rush. But can't can Cooper rush 556 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 9: and the offense? Can they generate points? That's gonna be 557 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 9: because if they don't, well, then Cincinnati. 558 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 3: Will be very comfortable playing this football game. 559 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 6: I think, yeah, if this offense is fully healthy. Talking 560 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 6: about the Cowboys offense, I think I'd have a little 561 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 6: bit more common in them coming away with a win. 562 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 6: Not to preview what I'm picking on Friday, but I 563 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 6: just feel like if Dak Prescott was playing, if Ceedee 564 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 6: Lamb was even at a hundred percent, that they have 565 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 6: proven that they could score points offensively over the course 566 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 6: of the last two weeks. Because a lot of these 567 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 6: a lot of these points have come from special teams 568 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 6: and defense. They if they had proven that they could 569 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 6: score points offensively, I feel like they would be able 570 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 6: to keep pace with Cincinnati. But it's it's gonna be hard. 571 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 6: It's gonna be really hard. This is a really good offense. 572 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 2: How do you think they'll match up with Jamar Chase 573 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 2: and T Higgins. I mean, obviously they haven't had their 574 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 2: two starting corner starting cornerbacks on the field at the 575 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 2: same time yet this season. How much do you think 576 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 2: how do you think they match up and how do 577 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 2: you think the pass rush affects their ability to match 578 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 2: up with those two receivers. 579 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 6: I think it does start with the pass rush. T 580 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 6: Higgins hasn't been healthy all year. He's been in and 581 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 6: out of the lineup. But when he has been in, 582 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 6: he's been productive. Yes, and he's he's taken some some 583 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 6: load off of Jamar Chase's hands. He makes life easier 584 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 6: for Joe Burrow. So it's it's right now the task, yes, 585 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 6: he is. It's gonna be an all out task. He 586 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 6: returned last week, I believe, after a two week absence. 587 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 6: But it's it's gonna be it's gonna be a tough task. 588 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 6: I don't even know who I would put on which guy. 589 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 6: I mean, considering Diggs's history with Chase, that probably makes 590 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 6: the most sense. 591 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 2: But you probably don't travel them either. You don't probably 592 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 2: just let them stay where they are. 593 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 3: And yeah, I think Mike keeps I think he keeps 594 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 3: them left and right. 595 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 9: And then you go play and then and then figure 596 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 9: out what you want to do, if you want, how 597 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 9: you want to use your safeties. 598 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 3: This team sees a lot of too deep. They see 599 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 3: a lot of two doesn't Chase. 600 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 9: Because Chase and they and so what happens The too 601 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 9: deep allows you to be able to cheat to one 602 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 9: side of this team they see. They see more split 603 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 9: safety too deep coverage than any other team in the league. 604 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 9: And it's just because of the threat of the vertical stuff, 605 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 9: but also though the ability to try and they feel 606 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 9: like that they have to. Teams feel like they have 607 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 9: to try and cheat to one side to be able 608 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 9: to handle to handle Chase. 609 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 2: And it seems like you should be able to do 610 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 2: that in a matchup where they don't really try to 611 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 2: run that much, let alone be effective that running the ball, 612 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 2: so you don't have to bring that safety down. 613 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 3: You can keep to sous Dallas. 614 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 9: And Cincinnati, two teams that play with more light boxes 615 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 9: than any other than the other teams in the league, 616 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 9: so that people don't respect Cincinnati's run. 617 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 3: So what do they do? 618 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 9: They keep the safety back thinking they're worried about the 619 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 9: over the top ball. 620 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 6: Jamar Chase obviously was banged up a lot last year, 621 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 6: so the context is a little murky, but best receiver 622 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 6: in football right. 623 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 9: Now, right now, yeah, right now. Over Jeffefferson, I take 624 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 9: take both l issue kids. Between your two guys there, 625 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 9: I'll tell you what throwing the film a Chase playing 626 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 9: against and we've played Baltimore this year because you kind 627 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 9: of understand that Baltimore struggles. He's watching Baltimore. He kills 628 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 9: Baltimore both times. Yeah, kills them, you know, I mean 629 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 9: like you run in routes. I mean they can't stop him. 630 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 9: And I'm kind of thinking Baltimore's got a pretty good defense, 631 00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 9: you know, except in the secondary. It seems that they 632 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 9: give up a bunch of plays. 633 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 3: Me personally, I take Chase, yeah, the only. 634 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 2: The only thing that makes me kind of get more Jefferson. 635 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 3: I think the quarterbacks better. 636 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 2: I look at the quarterback, and I'm like, I think 637 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 2: Chase has the benefit of having much better quarterback than 638 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 2: than Jefferson had. Maybe maybe that Jefferson's had in his 639 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 2: whole career, and Jefferson's still producing at the level he is. 640 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 9: I was kind of feeling like that Jefferson's numbers were 641 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 9: gonna come way down with me j McCarthy at quarterback. 642 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 9: That's and then McCarthy got hurt. 643 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 3: But they've done. Sam Donald's done a nice shop. 644 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 2: I thought with Sam Donald's numbs would go down, and 645 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 2: he's still He's still putting us. 646 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 6: Call a good point because if Justin Jefferson had Joe 647 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 6: Burrow to start his call, my god, oh my god, 648 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 6: that's a national champion. 649 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 2: It reminds me of Andre Johnson when he was in 650 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 2: Houston all those years where he just had whoever at 651 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 2: quarterback and he was consistent putting up numbers, putting up number, 652 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 2: putting up numbers. That says a lot man. Same thing 653 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 2: with DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins did the same thing.

All right, 729 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 2: let's let's talk about that. 730 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 9: I hope some of you wins because I don't want 731 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 9: them to get worked in this thing. 732 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 2: They can't let me nick we're having that conversation. 733 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 9: They're gonna get worked.

I want to get too far into 738 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 2: college football, but we're having a conversation. And it was like, okay, 739 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 2: so if you're the opponent, who do you want to play? 740 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 2: Do you want to play Alabama or Miami. I'm gonna 741 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 2: say I'll take Miami. I'll take my chance with Miami. 742 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 3: You say s m U. 743 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people will say give me 744 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 2: s m U. If you've watched SMU, I don't think 745 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 2: a lot of people want to play SMU. He's that's 746 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 2: a good team. It's a really good team. 747 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 9: It's a good team. I'll tell you another thing. I 748 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,399 Speaker 9: wouldn't want to go have to go play a game 749 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 9: in Boise in that cold yeah. Yeah, and the potential 750 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 9: snowhood blue field, bluefield like snow flying cold. I don't 751 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 9: know if my livelihood would be very good playing. 752 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 6: I don't think it shakes out where they will have 753 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 6: to host a first round game. 754 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 2: What if Miami had to go there coming from the 755 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 2: warm confines, they have to go up there and play. 756 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,320 Speaker 9: I was just thinking about I was just thinking about 757 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 9: having to play Boise in the cold weather about that. 758 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 2: But I agree with that. I hope, I hope SMU 759 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 2: doesn't get worked on this. I think they if they 760 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 2: win and it takes everything, you know, it doesn't matter. 761 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 2: They will get a buye and they'll be in the playoff. 762 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 2: I haven't watched the safety he's giving you check out 763 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 2: that safety. All right, let's talk about the Dallas defense. Uh, 764 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,800 Speaker 2: last game, they had six sacks. My question for you 765 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 2: guys is is the increased pressure over the last couple 766 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 2: of games that Dallas has been able to generate really 767 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 2: just about Michael Parsons. Is that really the only difference 768 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 2: or there are other things they are doing schematically that's 769 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 2: really adding to to how they're being able to get 770 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 2: pressure and get sacks. 771 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:20,359 Speaker 9: Over shown Oh sa uh Lawson. Yeah, I think there 772 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 9: kind of is a unit there. There's a little bit 773 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 9: of shades of what we saw last year with Armstrong 774 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 9: and Fowlor. And you know, if you could get Tank 775 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 9: back into this thing, God should be a great week 776 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:31,800 Speaker 9: to have back too. 777 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 2: Where's neelan at is? 778 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:34,879 Speaker 3: He will see? That's what I'm saying. 779 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 9: I think the five day the two games in five days, 780 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 9: I think got him. 781 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 3: I bet you he's back this week. 782 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 2: Do you get kneeling. Let's say you get Kneeling and 783 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 2: Tank back this week, and let's get we don't but 784 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 2: everybody has been saying, and I'm talking about the coach 785 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 2: and Jerry have said publicly there's a chance. And then 786 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 2: let's say you get Digs back. Now you're working with 787 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,360 Speaker 2: a full contingent, Like, how does that match up against 788 00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 2: the Cincinnati offense. 789 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,439 Speaker 9: But it definitely helps. Yeah, it definitely helps. Because you're 790 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 9: me personally, I think the only way to stop Cincinnati 791 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 9: is get pass rush. That's the only way I think 792 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 9: if this quarterback feels comfortable. I mean, he's had a 793 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 9: couple of games this year where he's throwing the ball 794 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 9: over fifty times, so they don't have a problem with that. 795 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 9: They just, you know, they throw and they throw and 796 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 9: they throw, and you know, and they have to do 797 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 9: it because, like you guys were talking about their defense, 798 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,320 Speaker 9: but I just feel like that one of Dallas's strength. 799 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 9: You know, we're not here talking about they got to 800 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 9: defend the run today, they got to defend the run. 801 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 9: They really don't have to defend the run. They get 802 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 9: to go play. They get to go rush the passer, 803 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 9: which is one of their strengths. The problem is if 804 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 9: they're not very good at it this game, they'll get 805 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,319 Speaker 9: run because I don't think their offense, Dallas's offense can 806 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 9: score enough points. We've talked about that a bunch. But 807 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,720 Speaker 9: at least Cincinnati does something that Dallas can at least 808 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 9: counter with their pass rush on their home turf. 809 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you'll seem or Simpson running down the 810 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 6: sideline and the Simpsons. Uh, the Simpsons cast. What is 811 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 6: that going to be on? By the way, where is 812 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 6: that even airing? I'm not is it like a plus deal? 813 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,280 Speaker 6: I think it is a ESPN Is it ESPN Plus? 814 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:13,360 Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure. 815 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 2: Chris can look it up for us. 816 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 6: I don't want to get it anyway. I think I 817 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,280 Speaker 6: think with this pass rush, I I do see a difference. 818 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,479 Speaker 6: Makes That's what I was thinking too, because those Fox 819 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 6: curved they are yeah, get the whole clinch to. 820 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 8: TV option, ABC ESPN. 821 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 2: Okay, interesting, So it is an ABC ESPN thing, And. 822 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,879 Speaker 9: That's why the game couldn't get flexed because they've done 823 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 9: all this, because they did all this leg work to 824 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 9: get this ready, because they did all the voiceovers and 825 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 9: stuff like that. 826 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:48,839 Speaker 2: But let's be clear, I'm talking Josse. The TV ratings 827 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,360 Speaker 2: for the Thanksgiving game getting thirty eight million, thirty eight 828 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 2: million that they said that is the most watched game, 829 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 2: regular season game of this season so far, Cowboys versus Giants. 830 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 2: So that's why, no matter what, Cowboys aren't getting flexed 831 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,720 Speaker 2: because not flex down because the networks are like we 832 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 2: we like having the Cowboys on because they have just 833 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 2: as many people that want to watch their demise as 834 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 2: want to watch them win, and so and so it 835 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 2: just makes for great television. 836 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 6: If the Cowboys can flex, we will find out for 837 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 6: the Tampa Bay Sunday night game. 838 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 2: Don't count on that yet. And by the way, the 839 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 2: things I'm hearing, I'm not counting on that. 840 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 7: Don't see that symptoms fun Day Football will be on 841 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 7: Disney Plus and ESPN Plus. 842 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 2: Okay, got it, so you can stream it as well 843 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 2: as watching. 844 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I will. 845 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 9: I will say this though, you need to keep winning 846 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,719 Speaker 9: though here, because if you don't, you're not going to 847 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,839 Speaker 9: see that number one crew from Fox. 848 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 3: For a while. Yeah. 849 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 6: I'm fine with that. 850 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 3: I love I. 851 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 7: Love it. 852 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 9: Those dudes are so good to interview when you get 853 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 9: to talk to him, I mean, they are really really good. 854 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, anyway, the past rush right. I do see a 855 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 6: difference that MICA's presence just And I was talking to 856 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 6: a couple of guys in locker room over the last 857 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 6: few weeks about that, and like, yeah, he certainly helps out. 858 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 6: But I was talking to Carl lost and specifically after 859 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 6: the Giants game, and he's like, everyone just knows what 860 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,839 Speaker 6: their job is now. Everyone's doing their job. Everything it's 861 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 6: skiing and on it. Yeah, and it's I think this 862 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 6: scheme threw everybody off in the beginning, and I you know, 863 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 6: there's a lot of things that could be attributed to that. 864 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,760 Speaker 6: You saw some guys give up on it. Jordan Phillips 865 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 6: was one of those guys. Do you blame him, Probably not. 866 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 6: I mean you can't whenever you factor in the situation 867 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 6: that he was dealing with. Yeah, yeah, apparently, But I 868 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 6: think I think it just took these guys a few 869 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 6: weeks to figure out what they had to do, and 870 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:35,919 Speaker 6: now that they know what they're doing, it's it's really 871 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 6: helping out all eleven know what their job is. And 872 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 6: I have to also give credit to that double mug 873 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 6: linebacker look because it confuses young quarterbacks. We've seen it 874 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 6: over and over and over again over the last few weeks. 875 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,760 Speaker 6: It confused CJ. Stroud, It confused Jayden Daniels, Drew Locke. 876 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 6: You having those two linebackers over the line of scrimmage, 877 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 6: you can do so much out of that, and that's 878 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 6: something you have to identify immediately post snap if you're 879 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 6: the quarterback, so that that g you a delay on 880 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 6: looking at your guys, So I think that's also really 881 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,240 Speaker 6: helped those guys figuring out that part of the scheme 882 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 6: and really being able to key. 883 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:07,880 Speaker 9: In on it. 884 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:12,320 Speaker 8: Also with having so many young players too, even with overshown, 885 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 8: I mean, this was really his first year that he's 886 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 8: actually playing, so again that learning curve of everyone just 887 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 8: finding their way in and trying to figure out exactly 888 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:24,319 Speaker 8: what to do. But credit again, I don't mean to 889 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 8: say Mica is the savior and the only one that 890 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 8: can make this defense run, but even some but having 891 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,400 Speaker 8: someone like that on the lineup, even if it's just 892 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 8: taking off just a tiny bit more pressure and adding 893 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 8: just a few extra seconds to your game, it just 894 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 8: it creates more opportunities. And I remember a time where 895 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 8: we always talked about prior to Micah DeMarcus Lawrence and 896 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 8: how important it was for him to be on the 897 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,399 Speaker 8: field and on the line because it did create those 898 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:59,360 Speaker 8: opportunities for the rest of those guys. So curious to 899 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,800 Speaker 8: see though, now mentioning about the Marcus when he's gonna 900 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 8: come back, because that's another added element that I think. 901 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 8: I just wish we get one game at least where 902 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:12,759 Speaker 8: we get all the starters. 903 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 6: I think it'll happen. I'd be surprised if his practice 904 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 6: window does not get opened today at the very least. 905 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 6: I don't think he's going to go Monday. If I 906 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,799 Speaker 6: were a betting man, maybe Carolina's more realistic. And if not, 907 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,759 Speaker 6: Carolina certainly for the Tampa Bay game. 908 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,240 Speaker 2: That being said, we actually had a question from Steve 909 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,319 Speaker 2: on on X and what are your expectations? 910 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 8: Feeling good today? 911 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 6: For sure? 912 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 8: Talk about that Christmas spirit? What did he say? Now? 913 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 2: You want to know what are your expectations for Tank 914 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 2: coming off his injury, even if he's able to come back, 915 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 2: like he hasn't played much, what do you what are 916 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 2: your expectations of what he can do and how much 917 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 2: they'll even use him. 918 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,719 Speaker 6: Just based off of what this training staff does like 919 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 6: to do and how they like to slow their guys 920 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 6: back in limited snaps. And that's the That's a safe 921 00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 6: way to go about it, especially with a player of 922 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 6: his age and his caliber. You don't want to make 923 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,439 Speaker 6: it worse and potentially, you know, a career ending type 924 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 6: situation if he were to reaggravate it. But yeah, probably 925 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:10,840 Speaker 6: limited snapsy. We saw that very similar to what they 926 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,960 Speaker 6: did with Marshawn neland a week ago. I believe he 927 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 6: played eighteen or nineteen snaps in that game. They were 928 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 6: trying to get him to twenty five, but they kept 929 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 6: him to that number. I could see a similar situation 930 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,280 Speaker 6: for Lawrence, and maybe an uptick for neland. 931 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 9: Playing the last three games of the season are against 932 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 9: some explosive offenses. Couldn't hurt Yeah, Yeah, couldn't. 933 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 2: Definitely help you. 934 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 6: In his contract, Lawrence, this is expiring last year. He 935 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,320 Speaker 6: basically came quick. He's basically the defense of Zach Martin 936 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 6: in the sense that, like, it's tough to assume he's 937 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 6: back next year. But I think in Zach's case, it's 938 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 6: probably more so a retirement, whereas Lawrence, I think he 939 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 6: would find a different home. 940 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. 941 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 2: Look, I don't think that Lawrence is done. I think 942 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,520 Speaker 2: Lawrence has plenty left in the tent. The last time, yeah, 943 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,280 Speaker 2: the last time we saw him playing, he was playing 944 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 2: great football. So I think it's one of those situations 945 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 2: where if Dallas decided they're not going to give him 946 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,280 Speaker 2: the deal he wants, I think there will be suitors 947 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 2: out there, and I think he'll go somewhere and he'll 948 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,400 Speaker 2: do really well. For the next several years playing defensive 949 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 2: vents for somebody. 950 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 9: It'd be nice if you had him back and you 951 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,440 Speaker 9: were seven to seven, you know in the record wise. 952 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that would help any chance, no doubt. 953 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,239 Speaker 2: Real quick. I did want before we end the show, 954 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 2: I want to talk about dron Bland. He had He 955 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 2: was a person that they kind of eased in as 956 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,440 Speaker 2: he came back from his injury. Last week he was 957 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 2: fully back ninety two percent of the defensive snaps. What 958 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 2: he played. How did you assess his play last week? 959 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 6: I feel like he's been playing well in coverage. I 960 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,719 Speaker 6: feel like his coverage is better than it was last year, 961 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 6: just in the little what's the word, I'm looking for 962 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 6: the snapshot of what we've gotten so far this season 963 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 6: in two games. Trying to pull up the numbers here, 964 00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,720 Speaker 6: he's only given up eighty two receiving yards on seventy 965 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,800 Speaker 6: nine coverage snaps, so almost one yard per plays for 966 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 6: one yard per coverage snap. So he's doing really well. 967 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,319 Speaker 6: I've loved what he's brought from a coverage perspective. The 968 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 6: only play that I can think of off the top 969 00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 6: of my mind that I didn't love was a twenty 970 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 6: yard reception in the Washington game that he gave up 971 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,919 Speaker 6: across the middle. I believe it was on a third 972 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,839 Speaker 6: down as well, on that second touchdown drive that they had, 973 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 6: and that really kind of kept them going. But aside 974 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,120 Speaker 6: from that, I loved what Blane has been able to do. 975 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 6: He really feels like he hasn't missed a step, to 976 00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 6: be honest, you get him right. 977 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 3: Absolutely, all right. 978 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 2: We appreciate you guys. Jonas, that's a rap. We'll be 979 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,480 Speaker 2: back tomorrow. We'll talk about the Cincinnati defense against the 980 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 2: Cowboys offense. Till then for Nick Harris, Brian brought us 981 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 2: an Amber Garcia. I'm Derek Eagleton.
