Speaker 1: Giants week as now upon us here from the Star

8
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: in Frisco. The team back out on the practice field

9
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: this week as a whopping leader of the NFC East

10
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: in a four and oh perfect start to the season

11
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: for your Dallas Cowboys. Oh wait, that's not what happened.

12
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: They're going on the practice field one in three, right,

13
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: I messed that up? Oh man, Yeah, so just to

14
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: keep it on. Still a little disappointed, it's still a

15
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: little butt hurt from the first couple weeks of the season.

16
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: On my end, however, I am encouraged because we're getting

17
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: some reinforcements back this week and of course a team

18
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: on the other side that is oh and four and

19
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: doesn't have a win so far in the division, and

20
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: we're going to break it down for you Cowboys defense.

21
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: How are they going to stop this Giant's offense that

22
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: has been pretty easy to stop, to say the least

23
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: in terms of the first four weeks of the season.

24
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: Kyle Yeoman's Isaiah stand back, Rob Phillips, Heck Harrison with

25
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: you here on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Glad you with

26
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: us and Rob. We saw some roster moves yesterday. Brandon

27
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: Car the veteran corners last safety out in Dallas, and

28
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 1: big reason for that is the potential return from Anthony Brown.

29
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: Is that the case going forward and one of the

30
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: big reasons White Car was released. Well, I think you

31
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: can kind of connect the dots there potentially. I think,

32
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, Mike McCarthy will talk to us after the

33
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: show and they get back to practice today. He is

34
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: eligible to come off of IR this week. They put

35
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: him on IR, I think the Saturday before the Week

36
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: two game against Atlanta. So they've got fifty one guys

37
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: on the fifty three man roster now, so there's there's

38
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: room to bring guys on from IR. There's there's other

39
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: guys eligible. I think Layton's eligible, Sean Lee cam Fleming,

40
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: I think Cheeto's got another week before he's eligible, and

41
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he's quite ready anyway. But

42
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: if they get Brown back, man, that's that is big.

43
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: And you know, the Brandon Carr think surprises me, guys

44
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: a little bit. I just I expected him to step

45
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: in and if not, start be more part of a rotation,

46
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: and he wasn't. He played. I think he was active

47
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: for all four games and played twenty one snaps. So

48
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: a little surprising there. Yeah, yesterday, yesterday, Rob, you were

49
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: talking about seeing him a little bit more than the

50
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: announcement came that he was released from the team. I said, well,

51
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: there goes that. Rob. We won't won't be seeing that,

52
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: but you guys are Rob, You're right. Getting Brown back

53
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: is going to be used for us. His experience on

54
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: the outside. I think we've been missing that. We saw

55
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: obviously last week that Worldly Uh didn't have his best

56
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: ally as the keeping it nice, but brown, brown Brown

57
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: would be Uh and Uh an addition to our defense

58
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: that I think anyone would welcome. Yeah, I mean, yeah,

59
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: Brown's coming back. Um, I don't believe that's the reason

60
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: why b Car was cut, but we're gonna leave it

61
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: at that. You know, b Car got cut because Brown's

62
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,119
Speaker 1: coming back. Um, there's other rumors that are out there,

63
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: but you know, at the end of the day, his

64
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: ten is over here. Um, good luck to him in

65
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: the future and hopefully Brown brings something that he was

66
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: that a car wasn't. Okay, So is this a is

67
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: this a rumor that we can't necessarily talk about on air,

68
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: or is this just you making a joke? Well, what

69
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: is the reason you think? I I feel that I

70
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: feel as if the rumor that's going around, and I

71
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: don't have any merit to the rumor. I don't have

72
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: even a real source. I don't know if it's really

73
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: good to talk about it here. But the rumor is

74
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: that he spoke up about their defense and a defensive

75
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: coordinator and their their level of play and their level

76
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: of play calling to date, and that kind of that

77
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: kind of saw his exit about it there. So I

78
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: have seen that happen in the NFL before US, not

79
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: a league that really likes people to step up and

80
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: speak against the regime and they kind of get you

81
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: up out of there when you do. So, Um, that's

82
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: what I've heard. If that is the truth, and it

83
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: makes sense because I've seen it happen in the past.

84
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: But again, I don't. I don't have a valid source

85
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: on that, So it's just rumors, gotcha, and rumors do

86
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: fly whenever moves are made like that. But also the

87
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys adding a couple of tackles, one to the active

88
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: roster and Greg Snat who spent last year with Kansas City,

89
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: who was uninjured reserve for a good amount of time

90
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: and then started the year on the Browns practice squad

91
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: and the cow was went and plucked him. So he's

92
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: currently on the fifty three man roster that sits at

93
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: fifty one at the moment. But whenever it comes to

94
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: these editions and you talk about secondary and the fact

95
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: that you cut a secondary player hopefully to get Anthony brownback,

96
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: but you had two more tackles, Rob, what is the

97
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: thought process behind this? You've got Terrence Steal, Brandon Knight

98
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: already there. I know that we have Cam Irving that's

99
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: available to return this week. But as this just maybe

100
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: another depth move from a Cowboys perspective of adding a

101
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 1: pair of tackles here, Yeah, I think so. I think

102
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,679
Speaker 1: I would put offensive tackle as one of the hardest

103
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: positions to find depth. It's really hard. Usually if teams

104
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: have them, they hang on to him in training camp,

105
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: and so you don't see a lot of movement with

106
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: tackles after final cuts. And yeah, I mean, as many

107
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: issues that they had on the offensive line, I think

108
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: if they can find somebody they you know, and maybe

109
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: shuffle in and out, you know, Alex lights out of

110
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: here and you know, try to add some potential depth

111
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: in case they have more problems up there than they

112
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: got to do that. And you know, cam Irving, I'm

113
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: not sure exactly where he is in his rehab, but

114
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: they said it could be a four to six week deal.

115
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: So if that's the case, then he's not quite ready anyway.

116
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: So that's probably the thought process there. Yeah, it's kind

117
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: of I think it's red flags, man. I think it's

118
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: red flags. Guy here. I just I don't like it.

119
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: I don't like it you keep bringing in tackles. To me,

120
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: it's it's just being that you have Tyron Smith back, right,

121
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: he's back, he played, he played a good game, and

122
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: you bring in more tackles, right all that sile This

123
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: is a red flag to me that Lall Collins is

124
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: probably not looking like he's gonna come back anytime soon,

125
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 1: if come back at all, Because why would you continue

126
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: to add depth at his position if you intend if

127
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: you expect him to come back. So to me, that's

128
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: a red flag. It's not good on that right side.

129
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: Hopefully they can find somebody that's permanent. Yeah, no doubt.

130
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the reports were over the weekend

131
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: he was gonna have surgery today and that has had

132
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: been confirmed by by the team officials. Uh. You know,

133
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: they've been kind of vague about it, as they have

134
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: with a lot of injuries. But it doesn't sound like

135
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna play this season. So yeah, they're they're looking

136
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: for contingency plans and obviously they've shuffled that position during

137
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: the game and um, and we'll see what happens there.

138
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: But you know, Cam Fleming when he comes back, he's

139
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: a veteran piece. But he didn't win the job in

140
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: training camp. He didn't play a lot in training camp,

141
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: but he didn't win it. Why do I always do that? Man?

142
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: Maybe good this weekend he's on the other side, we're

143
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: gonna talk to make sure. We're gonna talk about that

144
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: Giants offense. Yeah, no, thank you, thank you. I've written

145
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: I've been called out about that. Um. Yeah, they just

146
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: they need options. They need options on that side, and

147
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: I think Brandon Knight's probably their best option, and maybe

148
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna get to start again on Sunday. We'll see. Yeah,

149
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: it's it's understating that the death problem that we have

150
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: at the offensive line, and again, it's just been a

151
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: game of musical chairs, especially when you go back to

152
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: the Seattle game with Martin finishing that right tackle. We

153
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: have to find the balance that we're looking for in

154
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: the offensive line, and we just hadn't got there yet. Obviously,

155
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: you guys have been able to isolate situations with steal

156
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: against other you know, defensive ends in the league that

157
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: they've gotten the best of them. I think with the

158
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: yardage and everything, the coaches are just not fooling themselves

159
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: to think that they're in a good place offensive line wise.

160
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: They see these guys every day and they know that

161
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,559
Speaker 1: they need to get more depth. Then they currently have

162
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: four offensive tackles on the practice squad, they have four

163
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: offensive tackles on the active roster, and then they have

164
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: two on irm Lyle Collins and uh with at least

165
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: at the moment, Cam irving this week. So they've got

166
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: ten signs they must become get ready to come out

167
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: with what they must be get ready to come out

168
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: with a nine nine old lines or setting or someone

169
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: offensive formation. I don't know what the thing they're doing.

170
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: A bunch of offensive tackles and then zeke and tack

171
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: in the backfield and that's it. That's that's what you're

172
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: running with moving forward. Okay, So we also got the

173
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: We also got the news this morning that Snax Harrison,

174
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: one of our targets in yesterday's GM session, has reportedly

175
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: agreed to sign to the Seattle Seahawks dot dot dot

176
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: practice squad. As now, he is off the market at

177
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: the moment. Now we'll see if that stays. If he

178
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: stays on the practice squad for very long, he may

179
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: not be able to because they'll probably pull him up

180
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: or somebody will pluck him pretty quickly. But Snax Harrison,

181
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: at least for the moment, off the roster. But I

182
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: mentioned Anthony Brown earlier in that secondary and what he

183
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 1: brings to the table coming back, and we've seen the

184
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: struggles from the secondary. Treyvon Diggs has had a rough

185
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: go of it as a rookie in his first four

186
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: games of his professional career. Seemingly you have an easier

187
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: matchup this week, but then you've got DeAndre Hopkins and

188
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald on the other side of things. Also Christian Kirk,

189
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: who's had a pretty good season for Atlanta coming up

190
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: or excuse me, Arizona coming up in week six. But heck,

191
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: whenever you look at Anthony Brown and what he brings

192
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: to the table from a cornerback position, the depth of

193
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: having him back already improves. But what does he specifically

194
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: bring back that you have been missing desperately over the

195
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: last four weeks. He's a He's a good tackler. I

196
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: would say that we've had so many busted plays and

197
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: miscommunications and coverages, but a lot of it is attributed

198
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: to mistackles, and our secondary has been doing a very

199
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: poor job of that. I'm hoping that Anthony Brown is

200
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: the piece that we can put into at least stop

201
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: these big plays. We've had guys just running free, not

202
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: being able to get guys on the ground. And if

203
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: from that perspective, I think tackling is one or being

204
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: physical is one of Anthony brown strong suits. Yeah, that's

205
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: the that's the point I was gonna I was gonna

206
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: hit on heck is a physical aspect, right it's the

207
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: physicality of the grit, the tenacity that he has. I

208
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: think that this this secondary is missing right now. Um.

209
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: It's another reason why I think we've been talking about

210
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: other individuals on that are out there in free agents. UM,

211
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 1: hope he could bring in for those for those same characteristics.

212
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: So hopefully he brings that. Hopefully he is that same player,

213
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: he brings that to the squad, and hopefully you know, um,

214
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: he brings a level of competitiveness to this group that

215
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: hasn't obviously hasn't been present. And you know what, it

216
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: does get easier this week. I know you mentioned Hopkins

217
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: in a week from now, and I know the Giants

218
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: will We'll get into their offense. It hasn't been good,

219
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: but they have guys back there, uh that that can

220
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: that can run routes and get separation and make plays.

221
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,359
Speaker 1: I mean three four different receivers including Evan ingram Um

222
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: and and you know some of their problems has been

223
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: pass protection upfront. But if they get that, then they've

224
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: got receivers who can win routes that it's not going

225
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: to be easy against against this Cowboys secondary. Again, it's

226
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: gonna be something that I think we'll see this week specifically,

227
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean Golden Tate, who seemingly is not going to

228
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: be suspended for his altercation with Jalen Ramsey following last

229
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: week's matchup. He will be available, and even if the

230
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: league decided to throw a suspension on there is probably

231
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: going to be an appeal and so he would probably

232
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: play this week anyways. However, you're exactly right. I think

233
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: this is going to be a week where you need

234
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: to get healthy from a secondary perspective, and Anthony Brown

235
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: coming in certainly helps you out in that regard. But

236
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: I think it just takes pressure off of Trayvon Diggs

237
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: a little bit, Isaiah, because Diggs has been really the

238
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: one having to carry the load of facing a top

239
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver. You may not have to throw him on

240
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: a golden tape. Sterling Shepherd's on ir so that's probably

241
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: their top receiver at the moment as well. But you

242
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: look at those guys in the secondary, just having Anthony

243
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: Brown back just adds that much more confidence in that

244
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: secondary that absolutely needs it. Yeah, it's gonna ask some confidence, man,

245
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: Like I said, I just more than anything, Like I said,

246
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: that's just the competitive side, man. You need competition at

247
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: every position, and I don't feel like this position has

248
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 1: as much as we talked about it going into the season.

249
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: With all the depth that they have, right, we didn't

250
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: say all the talent that they had, but we said

251
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: all the depth that they had, we would you would

252
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: assume that it would have been a highly competitive group

253
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: because everybody's vying for time. Everybody's vying for you know,

254
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: for for those snaps. You know, you don't get that

255
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: many snaps. So um, I think Brown brings that and

256
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: and and this week you already mentioned it. You know Golden,

257
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: I know Golden. Golden's my dog. We used to we

258
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: used to stay up and go to game stops and

259
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: try to get Call of Duty games at midnight, you know,

260
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: at the unreleased dates. So I know him. He's competitive.

261
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: But Golden's not going to run by you, you know.

262
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: So that's that's not a challenge. And that's where we've

263
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: had issues at this year as people running by us.

264
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: Not necessarily stuff underneath, but the guy's getting over the top.

265
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: So this is a great week to bounce back, build

266
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: some confidence because next week, U, yeah, be back at it.

267
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: And you know what, I feel the same way. But

268
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: I gotta say this, Kyle, when it comes down to

269
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, he's not going to improve your pass for us.

270
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: And if he's not going to improve that pass for us,

271
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna be sitting on an island for four or

272
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: five seconds. And look, Daniel Jones as bad a years

273
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: he's having right now. If you give the guy enough

274
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: time to see the field, he can find an open receiver.

275
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: And so that's some of the problems that the back

276
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: end of our defense is having. It's just the lack

277
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: of a pass rush and getting quarterbacks on the ground.

278
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: So love to see Anthony Brown back. We just you know,

279
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: outlined his physicality and what he's gonna be able to

280
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: do from that standpoint, but this defense is historically bad

281
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: and they have problems up front that Isaiah in your

282
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: film study you pointed out. I mean, we're just losing

283
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. And I know we're gonna talk

284
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: about the Giants offense. It it it doesn't matter who you play,

285
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who you go up against. If you're

286
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: giving up three hundred and seven yards rushing, you're gonna

287
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: get beat by the bad News Bears. That's a great

288
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: point because this past week against Cleveland, your thought process was, Oh,

289
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna get run all over by Kareem

290
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: Hunt and Nick Chubb and Steadin ended up being de

291
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: Earnest Johns In that ran for the team high total

292
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: exactly the team high total from Cleveland with ninety plus yards.

293
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: And I guess originally you go into this matchup in

294
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: week five and you say, oh, my gosh, here comes

295
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: Sequon Barkley. We can't stop the run. Now. Barkley, of

296
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: course sideline with his ACL injury that he's sustained in

297
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: week two, but it's Dion Lewis, Wayne Gallman, Devanta three minutes,

298
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: a three headed attack again from the New York side

299
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: of things, which is what we saw from Los Angeles

300
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: in week one. So it'll be tough to stop when

301
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: we come back though. Here on Talking Cowboys, we're gonna

302
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: talk about that. That Giant's offense, just how poor has

303
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: it been. The return of Jason Garrett on the other

304
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: side of his turnover as the offensive coordinator now in

305
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: New York. We'll talk about that when we come back.

306
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,880

Speaker 1: of Smooth Jay. I had the sultry voice of Harrison.

349
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 1: We had the trust tree, and we were in the

350
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 1: next yesterday whenever we were breaking down this team and

351
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: the performance that we saw last week. Yeah, we've got

352
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: plenty of treaties, one tree, other, one try, but let's

353
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: break down this, uh, this burning tree of the Giants

354
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: offense because it has been rough so far for old

355
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: pal Jason Garrett who makes his return to AT and

356
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: T State, And we all knew this day was coming.

357
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: It was circled on the schedule that Jason Garrett was

358
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: going to make his return as of course the offensive

359
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: coordinator now for the New York Giants, and he returns

360
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: with headlines surrounding him in New York, but not for

361
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: the right reasons. Rob It has been a dismal start

362
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: for Jason in New York, but really he doesn't have

363
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: a whole lot to work with with no sequon Barkley

364
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: and now Sterling Shepard quite possibly his top target out

365
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: due to injury at the moment. But what have you

366
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: seen so far from this Giants offense that the Cowboys

367
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: defense can absolutely take advantage of. I've seen not a

368
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 1: lot of points scored by the Giants offense. I think

369
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 1: they're averaging like eleven and a half points so far

370
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: through four games. And Daniel Jones just continues to have

371
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: problems back there, and some of it's on him. Some

372
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: of it's, you know, holding the ball too long and

373
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: waiting for things to develop behind an offensive line that

374
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: doesn't give him a lot of time usually, And he

375
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: got sacked five times by the Rams. They had some

376
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: false starts and they just got themselves in a lot

377
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: of down and distance problems. And that's kind of been

378
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: the story for them throughout it that. You know, they've

379
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: had trouble running the ball, they've had trouble throwing the ball.

380
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: And I'm kind of surprised they hung in there against

381
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: the Rams and lost by eight points because they, you know,

382
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: they really couldn't talk about control the line of scrimmage

383
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: they had, they had a lot of trouble doing that,

384
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: but they did find a little bit of something in

385
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: the running game. In Week four, they were last in

386
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: rushing before that last game and they ended up with

387
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: like one hundred and thirty something yards. So I'm looking

388
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: at that and I'm saying, Okay, we think this is

389
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: a get right game, but the Cowboys are gonna have

390
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: to go out and show that they can stop the

391
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: run because Jason Garrett's gonna come out and try to

392
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: do that. Like that's we know that about him. He

393
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: wants a power running game and take the pressure off

394
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: his young quarterback. So I fully expect him to test

395
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense that way. Okay, Well, look, Danny Danny Dimes.

396
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: He wins two straight games as a rookie, and they

397
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: give him a nickname, Danny Dimes, and ed comes new

398
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, Jason Garrett, and now he's looking like he's

399
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: looking like Daniel Paso. He's not looking good at all.

400
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: He's a sitting duck. He's a sitting duck for our

401
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: defensive offensive line in PF grade. Everyone's failing. But the

402
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: thing about a team like the Giants and what makes

403
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: them so dangerous is the fact that their offensive coordinator

404
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: they knows personnel who we are, and so that gives

405
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: them a leg up on just kind of circling who

406
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: guys what their limitations are. But at the same time,

407
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not overlooking them. I feel like from

408
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: a running back standport, it's Wayne Gallman to me is

409
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: the more explosive between Lewis and Freeman. But you know, look,

410
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna come down. It's gonna come down to the

411
00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys stopping them from getting into any kind of rhythm.

412
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: It's not Golden Tape that worries me. It's probably gonna

413
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: be Darius Slayton That's gonna give you a lot more

414
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: of a threat. As far as stretching the field vertically,

415
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: I know they're hurt, but they're at the tight end.

416
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: They're as good as any team because Evan Ingram he

417
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: can run all the routes and he's probably gonna be

418
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: isolated with the safety or a linebacker. So let's not

419
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: just look over this team and think this is a

420
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: feel good game that we can you know, homecoming right now,

421
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,479
Speaker 1: because they're not you know, fam you they're gonna come

422
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: into players. Jeez um. Yeah. So Jason Garrett, uh, you know,

423
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett is gonna get up there. He's gonna say, guys,

424
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: we're just gonna you know, we're just gonna show up

425
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: and we're gonna play. You know, we're gonna play every day,

426
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: and we're gonna every every down and you know, every

427
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: every every play. One thing you guys can guarantee that's

428
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: gonna happen is I'm gonna get clapping, y. Yeah. Yeah. Listen,

429
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: this team, this this often sucks. There's no way another

430
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: way around it. And I'm even gonna sit there here

431
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: and trying to make him sound like they that they're

432
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: gonna be competitive. They such their officive coordinators. Yeah, their

433
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: office of coordinator sucks. It's been the same offense for

434
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: a very long time that he's been running. Everybody in

435
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: the league knows it. His running back situation is his

436
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: dog on musical chairs. His offensive line is terrible. They

437
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: play with terrible leverage. They can't hold a block for

438
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: point two seconds. Their quarterback has happy feet back there

439
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: like he's a little penguin. The receivers they're not. I mean,

440
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: they have they have slating that can run by you,

441
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: but other than that, they're not running by anybody. Ingram

442
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: has for the last three years, has had the potential

443
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,479
Speaker 1: to be a really good tight end. But that's all

444
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: that we've been talking about as a potential, he hasn't

445
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: done much and maybe that's in part to their ability

446
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: for them to actually get him the ball. They're just

447
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: bad news Bears. And if our team doesn't just totally

448
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: just take a baby wiping, get these guys off the

449
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: dog on surface, I don't know what we're gonna do,

450
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: because this is about as easy if a game as

451
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: you can hope for. No wait, man, wait a minute, Champ.

452
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: Now you know it's you know, it's any given Sunday,

453
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: And the last thing that we want to do as

454
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: a historically bad defense is breathed any confidence into an

455
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: already bad team. And from a I mean, we're giving

456
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: up the most yards in Russian passing, we're not getting

457
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: any turnovers. So even with all that said, and just

458
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: how you outline so eloquently how bad they are, there's

459
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: still a team that if you give them a first

460
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: quarter in which they score with two touchdowns, that's going

461
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: to breathe life into a team that really is looking

462
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 1: for a reason to lay down. Don't you think a

463
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: defibrillator couldn't bring these guys office back to life? Understanding

464
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: I'm trying, I think, I mean, I'm a fantastic point here, though,

465
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: because as much as you're saying about the Cowboy or

466
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: about the Giants offense being that bad and a okay, listen,

467
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: listen to the Cowboys defense right now the same let me,

468
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: let me, let me, let me put this to rest. Okay,

469
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: the Giants, the Giants offense is the worst in the

470
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: league statistically, so is the Cowboys defense. Because listen, listen, listen,

471
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: I'm coming back. I know, I know, it's it's Wednesday,

472
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: It's not Friday yet. Kind you gotta wait for and

473
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: say it with your chest, because there's statistically the worst

474
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: offense in the league, not only because of execution, but

475
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: because of their their talent level facts defensive side of

476
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: the ball. For the Cowboys, we're the worst statistical defense

477
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: in the league because of execution, not because of talent.

478
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: So if your defense that's full of talent decides to

479
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: actually execute, then guess what. You can go from the

480
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: bottom of the barrel to the top of the barrel

481
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: real quick in a hurry, which I think this defense

482
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: is going to do over these next four weeks. This

483
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: offense has zero chance. Their offensive coordinator is not good,

484
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: their quarterbacks not very good, their office line is terrible.

485
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: The running back situation that he just got out there.

486
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 1: He's trying to get established. He doesn't know what the

487
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: heck is going on. He don't know what he's signed

488
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: up for. They're not a good team, all right. I'm

489
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: just saying from the team that I when I when

490
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: I played with him, we won a super Bowl. That

491
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: was a team. I don't know what's happened over these

492
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: past seventy seven years. This has been bad, but this,

493
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: this team currently is awful. With Daniel Jones as you're

494
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: leading rusher and it's not close. That's not good. And

495
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: that's a product. That's a product that's a product of

496
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: the fact that he's you know, he doesn't have time

497
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: back there and he does, he'll take off and and

498
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: you know, not trust his reads at times, and turnovers

499
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: are problem. That's where I think they have an opportunity

500
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: because I'm I disagree a little bit. I've got to

501
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: see the Cowboys defense, no matter who they're playing, trust,

502
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: trust their assignments, and do their jobs correct down to

503
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: down because I'm you know, I'm kind of over though

504
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: they're talented and they'll get back to it. We have

505
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: to see it field. We haven't seen it for four weeks. So,

506
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: but that being said, Daniel Jones has I think sixteen

507
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: starts and he's got like seventeen picks and he's put

508
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: the ball in the ground like twenty something times. They

509
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: finally maybe the Cowboys can get some takeaways and maybe

510
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna help the Cowboys offense if they can also

511
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: themselves take care of the football. R Rob what what

512
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: what Isaiah is doing? It is like chappetto. He is

513
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: puppet master and us he knows. Don't don't let Isaiah

514
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: do us like this today it's Wednesday. No, we're gonna

515
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: have a good show. And we know and you know,

516
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: and you know clearly this is fun. I know. Hey.

517
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: One thing that people know about me is I'm always

518
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: gonn keep it one hundred. I know that's okay. If

519
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: you if the Giants are playing at one hundred percent, yeah,

520
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are playing at one hundred percent in

521
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: you guys's heart, what happens in that matchup? If they're

522
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: playing at full steam ahead? What happens in that matchup?

523
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys win by more than Giant Cowboys win by multiple scores.

524
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: They haven't done that. They haven't done that they never

525
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: don't have any proof that they can't. You don't have

526
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: any proof that they can do that. And what's been

527
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: happening on our side. You're saying talent on the other

528
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: side assignment for us, and it's been alignment and assignment

529
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: that's been getting us beat. If we go up there

530
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: in our defensive events are stretching up the field and

531
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: not keeping contained or getting beat, don't contain. If guys

532
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: in the secondary that are being sent on these blitzers

533
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 1: are not getting home, we will lose. It's just the

534
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: truth of it. And it doesn't matter how talented or

535
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: less talented a team is. These are NFL players that

536
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: still know how to do their job. And so if

537
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: we're not defensively going to play within the confines of

538
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: what Mike Nolan is trying, what he's trying to convey

539
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: to this defense, it doesn't matter who you play, Isaiah,

540
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. It doesn't happen. And hey, I do

541
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: agree with you our majority of what you just said. However,

542
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: the areas in which the cowboy you guys have I've

543
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: been dragging our defense all year right absolutely so that

544
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: the areas in which our defense have struggled have been

545
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: in two areas run defense right, run defense, which this

546
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: team can't rush, just facts, they just can't rush right.

547
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: And then are getting beat on routes which they don't

548
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: have the personnel to beat us over the top on routes.

549
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: So where we have had a disadvantage over these first

550
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: four games, we now have the advantage just purely by

551
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: walking out there and lining up, just simply by lining up.

552
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: Now they they they still have to execute. I'm not

553
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: taking that away. They have not done that, but I'm

554
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: relying on their ability that to one have better personnel,

555
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: which we do, and two actually have a little bit

556
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: of manhood and say, guess what, We're not going to

557
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: allow this team to come in here and beat us,

558
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,959
Speaker 1: especially our old Our old head coach almost called him

559
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: oc he was my old head coach. And I think

560
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: there's something to it in that regard to I mean,

561
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: you want to beat that guy on the other side

562
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: of you, And the talent level is obviously much higher

563
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: in Dallas than it is in New York. But I

564
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: think whenever it comes down to this matchup, you've got

565
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: to take care of the defensive side of the football.

566
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: I think Anthony Brown will add a confidence level. We

567
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: talked about when it was the last time that this

568
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: defense really looked confident, When was this de doing their

569
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: job the right way. I think Anthony Brown takes it

570
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: care of one of the rest of the eleven because

571
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: he's I think better than really any of the other

572
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: corners maybe besides Treyvon Diggs that you have out there,

573
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: and just having him and put it back into the

574
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: lineup is going to help out a little bit. But

575
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: we do need to take our second break. When we

576
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna give our grades first quarter grades

577
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: for the offensive line and the defensive line. We started

578
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,040

621
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: talking about the offensive grades for the running game in

622
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: the passing game through the first four weeks of the season,

623
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: grading things by quarters. In terms of this set Alice

624
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys football team, we want to go to the trenches

625
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: today where things might differ a little bit. There's been

626
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: a lot of storylines through the first four weeks of

627
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: the season in terms of the in terms of the

628
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: overall trench play on both sides of the football. But

629
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: let's start offensively on the offensive line. Grade out the

630
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: offensive line once again from an A plus to an

631
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: F minus scale, and Isaiah will start with you on

632
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: this one. B plus no, get out of here. Get

633
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: where's the apple? Are you serious? Okay? B plus? Why

634
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: but it B plus? Where's the run game? We're know

635
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: we're known for for having a run game. Where's it at?

636
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: We had? We we haven't had it? Right? So throwing

637
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: the ball yet they've had they've passed block awesome, that's

638
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: one half of your job, right, But the core of

639
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: the heart, the character of this team is running the ball.

640
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: We have not been able to do that. You have

641
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: one of arguably one of the best running backs in

642
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: the game behind you, and you and you, and you

643
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: only get what ninety yards rushing with him over two weeks?

644
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: Heck with that? Wait? Wait wait did you say D

645
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: plus A EP or B B plus B B B

646
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: B that's the way. That's a pretty damn good grade. Actually,

647
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: that's good. Your your explanations making it sound like a

648
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: D is what we're saying here. Now, it's B plus,

649
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: it's a. It's a B plus. They've been they've been

650
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: passed blocking. You don't. You don't throw for this many

651
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: yards unless they do a heck of a job pass blocking.

652
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: And they face some really good defensive linementum so front

653
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: sevens over their first four weeks. So they've done a

654
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: heck of a job in that regard. But they only

655
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 1: get they get it. They don't. They don't get anywhere

656
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: near A for me on that regard because they have

657
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: a run block. So they have to figure that out.

658
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: So they get they gotta beat. They're gonna be. They're passing,

659
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: they're passing, but if they drop any more, they don't pass.

660
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: In a graduate program. Wow, now we're in graduates first

661
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: quarter of the season. All right, heck, that's so confusing.

662
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: Let's just happened. I don't know, Okay, Yeah, so that's A.

663
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good grade, Like I was not expecting that.

664
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: Pretty good for for a line that we've been bragging

665
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: about for years missing, that's missing multiple starters. Yeah, B plus,

666
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: B plus. Yeah, Well, I'm gonna look. I graded to

667
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: the running game as a C minus yesterday and so

668
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pass that to the offensive line as well

669
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: as a C minus. We hadn't been able to get

670
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: any rhythm in the running game and a positive yardage

671
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 1: in the running game, And like you said, I said,

672
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: and I have to look at that and take some

673
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 1: real consideration to the fact that they have been doing

674
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: a pretty dog on good job in past protecting but

675
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: and run and run we have nothing. And so with this,

676
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: with the shuffle of offensive linemen and the job that

677
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: we've been able to do just over the last couple

678
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:22,439
Speaker 1: of weeks, I gotta go see minus, I'm a little

679
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: bit in between you guys. I'll go be because I think, yeah,

680
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: there's when dak is thrown one hundred and fifteen pass

681
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: attempts with a compromised offensive line, and he's they've pretty

682
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 1: much kept him upright for the last two games. I

683
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: think that's pretty good. But at the same time, you're right,

684
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: they haven't. They haven't and it's their own fault. They

685
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: haven't established the balance they want to establish so in

686
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,280
Speaker 1: the run game. So I think they're somewhere in between.

687
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: I think it's been decent, especially dealing with the injuries

688
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: they've had, but it's not what they needed to be,

689
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: and it's not where they expect to be, even with

690
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: hiring being back. So yeah, and I kind of agree

691
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: with you on that one, Rob, specifically based on the

692
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: fact that whenever you're whenever you're looking at your report card,

693
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: you don't really start getting those those progress reports and

694
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: those bubble guts until you get around like the seventy eight,

695
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 1: seventy seven mark eighty one, eighty two. You're feeling pretty

696
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: good about where you're at. I'm still get a little

697
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: bit of the bubble guts when I talk about this

698
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: offensive line. So I'm gonna say a C plus in

699
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: the regard of plus, haven't necessarily had you haven't necessarily

700
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: had the running game that you want to. You've had

701
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: these injuries, sure, but that should easily put you from

702
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 1: a C plus through the first quarter of this season.

703
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: Make me get you back to a B plus where

704
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: Isaiah is by the time the next report card comes around,

705
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: and then maybe, well we'll talk about getting you to

706
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: an A in the third segment of the year. But

707
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 1: spoil man, now we spoil. Well. We got made fun

708
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 1: of yesterday for having too higher grades over here, Isaiah.

709
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: We were saying, yeah, well, hey, yeah, who got the

710
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: apple this morning? I left, Yeah, I left my apples downstairs.

711
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: I was gonna bring some. Actually, they have faced a

712
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: lot of uphill battles and they've done a heck of

713
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: a job with what they've had to work with in

714
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: comparison to what this offensive line has been in the past.

715
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: So they've done a heck of a job for the

716
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 1: guys that they for them to be. You know, Phil,

717
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: hats off to you for playing you know, we're playing

718
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: all these guys and moving them around and finding a

719
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: way to keep your quarterback up right. They've protected the

720
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 1: most the most valuable asset on their team, and as

721
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, I'm not gonna lie if if we were

722
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: grading coaching jobs on this through the first quarter of

723
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: the season, I think Philman would be right up there

724
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: in terms of the coaching job that he's done in

725
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: order to fix up this offensive line and get it

726
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: to not only where it's serviceable, but is hopefully ascending

727
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: throughout the rest of the season once you get tiring

728
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: back for multiple weeks at a time. And then, of course,

729
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: with Nillill Collins, hopefully they stick with Brandon night Over

730
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: at the right tackle spot and you're feeling better about

731
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,240
Speaker 1: yourself here in the second quarter of a season. Okay,

732
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: now here for the fun part. I want to see

733
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: how low these grades can go, because Isaiah might have

734
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 1: of first failing F grade here on the defensive line

735
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 1: switching sides of the football. We'll let Isaiah go last.

736
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: But heck who you got for the defensive line? A

737
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 1: plus through F minus grade? Yeah, I'm look, we can't

738
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: give an end for income, you know, we can't do that.

739
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: It's it's it's gonna have to be an F. It's

740
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: got to be an F. These look when you turn

741
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: on the if it's just go from week one all

742
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: the way through week four and it's a bit, it's

743
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: it's horrible, and these guys are just getting beat And

744
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: if you have gap assignment and you're just getting de

745
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: boled out of your gap and guys getting blocked together reached,

746
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: it's just ugly. And we talked about it now, and

747
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: I posed the question to Isaiah about just drills and

748
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: where the competition is in practice, just to see why

749
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: guys are are getting man handled like this at the

750
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. It's embarrassing. So there's no other grade

751
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 1: to give the defensive line. Other than the F. I'm

752
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: sure they give themselves an F. I'm not gonna go

753
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: quite that bad. I'm gonna give him a D because

754
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: I think I think Aldon Smith raises it a little

755
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: bit in terms of what he's been able to do.

756
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,479
Speaker 1: First four games back five years gone. Uh, it wasn't

757
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: good for anybody against the Browns. But he's giving him

758
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 1: some some life upfront overall. But yeah, I mean, what

759
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: what happened up front against the Browns? Um, you just

760
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: can't it just can't happen. You know, they got dominated

761
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: up front. We saw it in the running game, we

762
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 1: saw it in the play action, and and it gives

763
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: me concern going forward no matter who they're playing, whether

764
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: it's the Giants or anybody. So I don't think de

765
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: Marcus Lawrence has been a one hundred percent. I think

766
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: he looked better in this game. But it's not good

767
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: enough for everybody overall, as he said himself, So I'll

768
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: go I'll go D. Yeah, I think I would go

769
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 1: D minus getting apples D minus. No, it's not he's

770
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 1: not getting apples. That D is is? I say, you're

771
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: I know I can feel it. I can feel that

772
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: you're about you must receive some apples. I feel it

773
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: right now. The B plus. I mean, have you seen

774
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: Alden Smith? No, no, no, no, this is a D

775
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: minus job you straight up I like it. I like it.

776
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: You haven't played well at all. The only reason I'm

777
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: not giving it an F is Aldon Smith. He's been

778
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: the one bright spot. If he's not there, this is

779
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: an F at the straightforward F failure. We need to

780
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 1: re not restructure, but we need to rethink the way

781
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: that we play defensive line. I think this is a

782
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: team that also are a part of the team that

783
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: could turn things around as well. But right now it's

784
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: sitting at a D minus right tinkering on the edge

785
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: of an F. And I'm not afraid to do that

786
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: in quarter two if they keep it up as well.

787
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: So Rob and Kyle, you guys both got apples today.

788
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: I knew Kyle was gonna gonna give him a D.

789
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: But Rob, Rob, you give him that much credit. Rob,

790
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: I'm keeping it real. Yes, Yes, a D a good

791
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: grade like I didn't have these and fel good about it.

792
00:41:53,760 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: D D means that you were sixty percent efficient, okay, D.

793
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: I think I look at D and being like that sucks. Rob,

794
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: Rob you kept Rob, You kept it real. Don't don't, Rob,

795
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,439
Speaker 1: you kept it real? Just am I wrong for saying

796
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: for thinking that D is from sixty to sixty nine

797
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 1: point nine percent? Am I wrong? Am I thinking? No? Okay?

798
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: So so Rob and Kyle, you guys are saying that

799
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: theory somewhere between sixty to sixty nine percent efficient all

800
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: this defensive front. Sure, sure, yes that's what I'm saying. Yeah, yes,

801
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: I would say that. Heck heck I'm with you. Heck

802
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: heck I'm with you. Okay, At all these snaps these

803
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: guys have played, they are not grading out at sixty percent. Sorry,

804
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: not happening. So if we're going by the book, these

805
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: guys are F minus minus minus. Yeah, if that's the thing,

806
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 1: whatever that is, like, whatever that is created F minus.

807
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: These guys have not had a presence. There's not one

808
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: offensive line in this league that respects them. And for

809
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: that reason, you get an F minus and hopefully, but

810
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: they're going to dominate Sunday. They don't. Yeah, they're gonna

811
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: dominate this on it because they have that, because because

812
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 1: they have the talent to be a plus. Right, it's

813
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,959
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a light right, So there's a light switch.

814
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: So right now, the light switch is off these guys

815
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 1: because easily walk in the locker room today and flick

816
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: that dog on light on and say, guess what, I'm

817
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: a man. I'm not gonna be disrespected by another man.

818
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out here and play ball to the wall.

819
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 1: But they haven't done that so far. But they can, right,

820
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: they absolutely can. The New York Giants offensive line can't.

821
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: They they're light. They just they have no power. They

822
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: didn't pay the bill right, They can't flick it on

823
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: the offer at all, Right, but our defensive line can.

824
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: So to date they are are f like all the

825
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: way F capital f change, all the funt it talisize

826
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: it underlining bold. They've been at F and that because

827
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: of that, they know that, like Heck said, they know

828
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: that they play like that. So wake up, go play

829
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: some ball and get a dog on a this week.

830
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: Get your confidence back, fellas. Yeah, it's got to be

831
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: about it's got to be about pride because they know

832
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: that everywhere if they can't even turn on the television

833
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: without you know, every national media outlets saying that they're

834
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: the laughing stock of the NFL. So this guy, this

835
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: has to be about pride. And you just go through

836
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: the names of the guys that we have. These are

837
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: besides from Tristan Hill, most of these guys have been

838
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: in the league for a pretty good while and that's

839
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, look their reputations in their pride. A lot

840
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: of these guys, man, they don't want to have that

841
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: stepped on, and they've been getting a beating in the media.

842
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: It's a veteran laden group that is about underwhelming. I mean,

843
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: that's that's the plane and simple, cut and dry way

844
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: of putting it. They have been underwhelming and right on

845
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: tinkering on the edge of a failing grade overall, but

846
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: none of it has been good. Hopefully that life switch

847
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: turns on this weekend and we'll talk about the other

848
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,320
Speaker 1: side of the football tomorrow in terms of the Cowboys

849
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: offense in the Giants defense, which is probably a much

850
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: more entertaining matchup than the one we talked about today

851
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: throughout the course of our last forty five minutes. But

852
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: we'll also hit the linebackers in secondary grades for the

853
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: start of the season tomorrow to wrap things up on

854
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: our Thursday edition. But that's gonna do it here for

855
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,360
