14
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: do here. I'm I'm the one that says superstitions aren't real,

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 1: and you clearly you clearly believe that too. Yeah, I

16
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: guess a whole bunch of people superstition. You're putting the

17
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: mouth on it. That's no stop. Seriously, I'm no turner

18
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: my golf. That's what That's what people say when you

19
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: bring up that, the pitchers saying you're like, oh, he's

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: throwing a no hitter, You're like, great, you put the

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: mouth on and he's gonna freaking I've never heard that.

22
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: You've never heard that to watch baseball, So maybe it's

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: just another way of saying you spoke it into existence.

24
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: They don't say that with kickers, because I've heard that

25
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: about kickers too. When you like, as soon as they

26
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: say he hasn't missed an extra point all season, it's like,

27
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: there we go here that miss it applies there. But

28
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: I've never heard that term. I guess, yeah, it's a term.

29
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: I promise I'm looking at it either not in sports.

30
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: It's a term, I promise. It's all right, let's get

31
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: back on the rails. Let's let's talk about why start now?

32
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: Why this is a it's it's you know, it's just

33
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: the biggest game of the year, and the game the

34
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: Cowboys having won in twenty years. What could we possibly

35
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: want to talk about? All right, Well, what we need

36
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: to start is with injuries, and I don't even want

37
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: to start with the real quick, just real quick. Someone

38
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: gave us a shout out at our show yesterday because

39
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: apparently talking cowboys, what's doing a whole bunch of college

40
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: football talking yeah, I'm talking about this game. Those guys

41
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: did a good job. Those guys just talk about whatever

42
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: they want to talk about. Maybe we should follow their lead.

43
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: I don't think people all right serious, like we're being

44
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: like them. Yeah, let's jump back into I don't want

45
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: to start with the guys that had missed. I want

46
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: to start with the guy that did practice, Dak Prescott,

47
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: because as soon as you see his name pop on

48
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: an injury report and then you hear reports that he

49
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: has a sprain knee, obviously everyone's alert goes up because

50
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: of just how much he means to this team, this offense.

51
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,839
Speaker 1: Talk to me about kind of what you've heard so far,

52
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: and if you're completely buying it, this has this is

53
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: no problem whatsoever. A nice sprain with your quarterback. Yeah,

54
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: I do. I mean, you're right, you're right to be suspicious.

55
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: Teams like to keep stuff under wraps. But like he's

56
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: out there, he's ten feet away, jogging around looking fine.

57
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: He was full, he was full, He definitely was full,

58
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: and you're well, go you can go watch. I mean,

59
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: it's a great play, but he took a Seahawks helmet

60
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: to his upper knee when he tried to dive into

61
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: the end zone on that sixteen yards and reminds me

62
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: of what happened to Carson Wentz last year to put

63
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: him out of the playoffs, right, and he put him

64
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: out out for the rest of the season. He practiced.

65
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I get that, and I'm not saying that

66
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: he's hurt. What I'm saying is real. What I'm really

67
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: looking for is for you guys to reassure fans out there,

68
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: because as soon as you hear the quarterback has a

69
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: needs brings fine, here you go. He's thank you fifty

70
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: feet away, like doing running back drills where he's got

71
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: the ball on the crook of his arm, running up

72
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: and down the field. Cart Will, he's fine this morning. Unbelievable,

73
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 1: the backflip in the cart. He will always catch that

74
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. There's not to get in which dancing cart.

75
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: Will's not kidding. But I wouldn't dream of I wouldn't

76
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: dream of making this a Romo Dak debate. But like

77
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: that's a selling point on Dak Prescott. He takes those

78
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: types of hits all the time, and he's builtfully fine.

79
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: He is, he is built for it, and he's out there.

80
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: He was full yesterday exprapping to be full today. Good.

81
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: I don't think this is a problem at all. That's perfect.

82
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: Waiting for Joe Looney to pop into injury report yesterday

83
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: because the way he was dancing at the beginning of practice,

84
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: like moving his neck. I'm like, he's gonna hurt his neck.

85
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: He was doing some serious dance move out there, just, uh,

86
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: what do you call this move? Like idea, you know

87
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: we need to do. We may need to get a

88
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: camera that just goes out to practice and just gets

89
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: footage of guys dancing at practice and put it all

90
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: together in one big Actually, it would be pretty good.

91
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: I tried to take a video of Tavon dancing just

92
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: to show you what it was. And I thought I

93
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: was going to get tackled by the our our pr

94
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: with cell phone videos prohibited, but I didn't say cell phone,

95
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: which you didn't let me finish. He can't do it,

96
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: can't do it. But yeah, if we sent Kent or

97
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: William out there with a real camera, there's nothing they

98
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: could do to stop us. There you go, And I

99
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: think that might be an idea. That is a good idea. Yeah, Like,

100
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: and then they lose the game and they're like, why

101
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: did they lose? And it's like he was shot of looney.

102
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: Here's a shot out of TV that's happening to Dave.

103
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: Just by the way, that's happened at every NFL practice.

104
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: That's what they do, all right. So let's talk about

105
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: some of the guys that did not practice. Cole Beasley,

106
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: Noah Brown, Malie Collins, Blake Jarwin, David Army Um didn't

107
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: practice yesterday. Which of those I guess are are concerning

108
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: or should not be concerning. Malik's back so that's not

109
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: super concerning. It was an ankle and an illness. Yes, yeah,

110
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: he's back. Noah Brown is also back. He was sick,

111
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: so you know he's okay. But Beasley and Jarwin are

112
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: still missing. Jason Garrett has and going back to skepticism,

113
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: he has said multiple times this week that they're optimistic

114
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: about those guys, but we'll see. Not practicing on Thursday,

115
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: particularly for Jarwin, who's still a young player, it's not

116
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: a super great sign, which is interesting because Swam's already

117
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: on IR We kind of we sort of prodded at

118
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: Garrett about that in the walk off today. We're like, well,

119
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: you only have two tight ends. If Jarwin can't play,

120
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: and he just kind of he kind of mildes Garrett smile, like,

121
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta make do at this time of

122
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: your type of deal. Yeah, yeah, I mean it. In

123
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: other words, that's a good question. I mean that's what

124
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: they're asking, like, what's how bad is this? And that's

125
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: that's one of those backdoor questions that you're like trying

126
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: to see, what's what's the situation here? Is there a

127
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: tight end on the practice squad right now? No? No,

128
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: So essentially like they have no real back backup options

129
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: that even know the offense to be able to play

130
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: in the event they got in that situation if Jarwin

131
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: couldn't play, like the best the closest thing to a

132
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: backup would probably be Noah Brown, which you know for

133
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: all of the you know, people like move him to

134
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: tight end. He weighs two hundred and twenty pounds. Here

135
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: we go ten personnel. Hey, that's hey, Mad, that's what

136
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: it takes. That might be your best option. Now, of

137
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: course it would help if you had Hearns and Beasley,

138
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,799
Speaker 1: but it's something it's something to watch. It's it's always

139
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: concerning when a young guys not practicing on Thursday. I

140
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: know it's Wednesday, but it's really Thursday. Get Beasley all right?

141
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: Talking to me about Beasley, I don't think he's in

142
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: the same categories ears like no, no, no, what no?

143
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: That was I'm saying, hearns it's out and Beasley, we

144
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: don't know. It'd be nice if you're gonna run a

145
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: lot of ten personnel, if you had one or both

146
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: of those guys for sure. Right, what do you say

147
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: about Beasley today? He's not practicing, Like he said, they

148
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: feel optimistic that both of those guys are gonna come around.

149
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: That's what he said. Okay, it's up to you to

150
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: decide how much you trust that, although I mean, Beasley's

151
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: kind of in the same boat. Like I don't think

152
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: I trust Tavon aust We talked about this yesterday. I

153
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: don't think I trust Tavon Austin to assume that whole role.

154
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,559
Speaker 1: And then your next best bet is probably Lance Lenore,

155
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: who is now on the fifty three or will be

156
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: by the end of the week if he's not officially yet.

157
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: The one thing you can't say about Beasley is he's

158
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: a tough guy and he's had this injury. Like he

159
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: went into the game last week. He wasn't completely healthy.

160
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean he's been playing here for the last few

161
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: weeks kind of banged up. So he is a warrior.

162
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: He'll get out there to play even when he's not

163
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. He had the foot spring before he

164
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: had the ankle spring, and Garrett said, it's the ankle

165
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: that's bothering him more so than the foot. Right now,

166
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: he's yeah, he's dealing with some stuff. Yeah, that's that's

167
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: probably I don't know, but I mean Jarwin's maybe Jarwin's

168
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: injuries not as severe, but he's a younger, less experienced player,

169
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: whereas Beasley's. You know, Beasley's getting up there. He's like,

170
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: this is like his eighth year or seventh year. Been

171
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: around for a minute. Yeah, I think he's played the

172
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: second most games on the team right now. Damn, it's

173
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: either LP behind LP. Sean hasn't played all the games.

174
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, is Sean would be up there, Sean And

175
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: then then I think it's Chris Jones and and Beasley

176
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: and it was Terrence, but you know, Terrence isn't hasn't played.

177
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: Terence Williams number eighty three, he is still officially on

178
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: their roster r I are I forget about that. I

179
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: think he'll be released in the off season and save

180
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: some money for this team. Yeah, one of many. There

181
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: was a list of guys that were limited in practice.

182
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: Tell me if any of these are guys that should

183
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: be of concern. Tavon Austin, Tyrone Crawford, Zach Martin, Tyrn Smith,

184
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: Xavier is still a Philo, and Darien Thompson. Which of

185
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: those is an issue? And where are we sitting with

186
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: specifically with Sue a Philo who didn't play last week.

187
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: My rule for a guy that played the last game

188
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: is that if you start the week practicing limited, I

189
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: assume you're good to good, even if it's limited. If

190
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: you played in the game and then you're back practicing

191
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: by Wednesday, I assume you're good. Okay. Yeah, Xavier's the

192
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: question mark. We'll see if he ups his participation today.

193
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: It's always a good sign when a guy is practicing

194
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: to start the week, even if it's in a limited fashion.

195
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: So correct me if I'm wrong. Last week he didn't

196
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: practice at all. No, so this is a step ahead,

197
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: This is a step forward. It is a step in

198
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: the right direction. Well, so we'll see and that's you know.

199
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: I asked him after the game, I'm like, how are

200
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 1: you feeling? How's your um ankle? He's like, we won

201
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: the game. I'm like, no, I know, how are you feeling?

202
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: How are you doing? He's like, we won the game.

203
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm just smiling because we won the game. I'm like, okay, cool,

204
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: I guess I'll just wait for later in the week.

205
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: Then is that English conversation? Yeah, well I don't remember.

206
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: It could be in Spanish. I mean he speaks Spanish, right, Yeah,

207
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: he did, like the only guy on the team. But

208
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: he wouldn't give me any inful. He was just that

209
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: might take that might tell you all you need to

210
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: know about that, because if you're great, you're like, man,

211
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: I'm great, I'm good. Like crap, Probably it probably ain't

212
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: feeling great. We won the game. Usually when that's the answer,

213
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: we won the game, something weird happened, or you know,

214
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: it was like we were up twenty eighth to nothing,

215
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: we won twenty eight twenty seven, you know, or something

216
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: like that. We won the game. He was happy, though, Yeah,

217
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: but yeah, who knows something. And hey, it's we talked

218
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: about the same thing as like gimpies to a Philo

219
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: or one Conor Williams, and these d tackles are better

220
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: than last week's. So we'll see all right every week. Yeah,

221
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: we're going to take our first break when we come back.

Speaker 1: Dave's gonna get us going with his scatter report on

223

Speaker 1: this Rams defense. Talking about that defensive A line tell

224
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: us a little bit about them, and I want to

225
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: talk a lot about that secondary because that's a secondary

226
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: they thought they upgraded coming into the year. I don't

227
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: know if they've always they've played in that way. We'll

228

Speaker 1: he's made of. That's why the Cowboys rely on more

272

276
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: did when they named John Deer their official tractor experience

Speaker 1: one for yourself. Visit my John Deerdealer dot com slash football.

278
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: Back to the break welcome back. It is the second

279
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: second of the Break live from the s WBC Morea

280
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: Studios at the Star. We're talking Cowboys versus Rams. That

281
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: would be the big playoff game this Saturday night Cowboys.

282
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: That kickoff will be at seven fIF teen Central Time

283
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: for you guys in our time zone, will be out

284
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: in California, it'll be five fifteen there. So Dave, Yes, sir,

285
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: tell us a little bit about a little bit about

286
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: this Rams defense. We talked about the offense yesterday. Talk

287
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: to me about the defense. I think you kind of

288
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: have alluded to it throughout the week, which is true.

289
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: Is like this thing and I think the Rams defense

290
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: is better than gets credit for. But it is a

291
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: murderers row in terms of the talent on hand and

292
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: the production statistically says it's not as good as you

293
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: would expect because you got Pro Bowl corners and Marcus

294
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: Peters and a keeb to Leabe. You got a safety

295
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: in LaMarcus Joiner, who I believe. I was trying to

296
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: look this up during the break I forgot to last night.

297
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: He's one of like five players that got put on

298
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: the franchise tag this year, maybe less than Yeah, Joiner

299
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: Ziggyanza Tank obviously Kyle Fuller. I mean they liked him

300
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: enough to pay him top ten percent at his position

301
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: to keep him there. So you got Pro Bowler caliber

302
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: players all over the secondary. Uh, and then the defensive

303
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: line you got that's just embarrassing. It is an Enriches

304
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: embarrassment of riches. You got a top five pick, and

305
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: in domi con sue, you got a top fifteen. Where

306
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: was Donald drafted? Like? Was he fourteen? It doesn't, it

307
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. He's the best defensive player in the NFL.

308
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: He might be the best player in the NFL. He's

309
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: certainly the best non quarterback in the NFL. In domi

310
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: con sue, Aaron Donald, Mike Brockers, who was a top

311
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: fifteen pick, he could have been a cowboy in another universe.

312
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: Dante Fowler has absolutely not lived up to his draft pedigree,

313
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: but he's still a top ten pick. Even oddly enough,

314
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: Mark Barron, who's playing so he's playing inside linebacker in

315
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: a three four Wade Phillip scheme. He was a top

316
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: ten pick as the safety not too too long ago.

317
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: So the talent is is gross. I mean there's a

318
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: lot of it. I think I'm even I'm missing somebody. Um,

319
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: it would have to be an outside linebacker. Don't don't

320
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: worry about it. Remember how good Will Wade Phillips defenses

321
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: were without guys like that. I mean he had where

322
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: but I mean that was by it. He's got like

323
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: three of those guys. He had some He had some

324
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: highly picked talent on that team too. I mean he

325
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: had Spears, right, he had some other guys that were

326
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: getting Nick Nick is like sure Spears was top twenty.

327
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: Didn't live up to those ex Okay, that's then. But

328
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: Fouler's the third overall pick, you know. I mean like

329
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that he didn't know he's he's a

330
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: good coordinate, he's a really good question is he hasn't

331
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: had that kind of talent. Yeah, if anyone can get

332
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: Fouler and Brokers to play in Baron to play at

333
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: higher levels, he's got um Donald playing at a higher

334
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: level than he was before, right, I mean probably. I

335
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: mean like it's all relative. Yeah, Like I'm not gonna

336
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: is prettier to dat thing yesterday. Okay, Yes, I'm not

337
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: all relative, Hallie right, halle Berry, all Haley, I'm not

338
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: gonna get Okay, I'm not letting. I'm not letting y'all

339
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: take this in of the ditch. This is important yesterday. Okay, Um,

340
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: have you ever seen the memes? Have you ever seen

341
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: like the memes or the posts on the internet where

342
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: it's like, look at this sandwich that the sandwich shop

343
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: tried to sell me, and it looks like amazing on

344
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: the outside, and the bread is all the bread's perfect

345
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: and it's risen up and like the meat is just

346
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: it looks great and yeah, and then you lift up,

347
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: you lift it up and look at it and like

348
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: there it's mostly bread, Like it's all just a show. Yeah.

349
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: That's sort of how I feel about this defense and

350
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: not I'm not saying they're not actually good, because they are.

351
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: My point is is great great in the middle like

352
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: the top and the bottom, or great and is in

353
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: the middle that's really because what I'm saying is the

354
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: line is disgusting, the secondary is really talented. I'm not

355
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: impressed by anything in between. And that I really I

356
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: think that's why you see the rams have the results

357
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: they have. So all right, we went over the personnel

358
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: there cannot throw this in that. Actually it makes a

359
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: lot of sense from the standpoint of I went back

360
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: and watched the game they played against the Seahawks, and

361
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: you saw the Seahawks running game gashing them. And really

362
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: all season they've had some games or they've gotten gashed

363
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: in the running game, and I think it's because of that.

364
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: I think it's because that those linebackers just they don't

365
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: always get off blocks, they don't always feel gaps, and

366
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: so it creates these holes that running backs have been

367
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: able to exploit at times. I did you won better?

368
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: I went back and looked at all of their games

369
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: that they played against run offenses that finished in the

370
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: top half of the league. Okay, they played nine teams

371
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: that finished in the top half of the league. They

372
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: gave up an average of one hundred and forty eight

373
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game, which is thirty yards more than

374
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: their average five and a half yards per carry, which

375
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: is a half yard more than their average, So they're

376
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: even they're doing even worse as you would expect against

377
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: the top running offenses in the league. Against teams that

378
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: finished in the top ten, which that's only three. They

379
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: played Seattle, the number one rushing offense twice and the Saints,

380
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: the number six rushing offense. Once a hundred carries for

381
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: six hundred yards in three games. They gave up an

382
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: average of six yards per carry eight yards per carry

383
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: in four point one yards per carry in those games.

384
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: And it's not it's not their front. It's not like

385
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald I wrote this down to uh, he leads

386
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: the league in like run stuffs, meaning like you know

387
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: a run that that goes for a negative or zero yards,

388
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: like he's great, Sue's great. Brockers is really underrated, Like

389
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: they do their job, but it's if you get past them,

390
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: it's real yucky. And that's where I think the Cowboys

391
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: have the chance to have a lot of success. Like

392
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Corey Littleton made the Pro Bowl. I don't care,

393
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: Mark Baron's the top ten pick. I don't care. Like

394
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys should be able to bully these guys, and

395
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: if they can't, I don't know what's going on. Because

396
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: they did it against Bobby Wagner and kJ right, So

397
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: I'm not buying it, which obvious. I mean, you know,

398
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: I think Zack Martin said it yesterday. It's a great point,

399
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: is like you look at these stats, He's like, cool,

400
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: it's not just because it's just because the numbers say

401
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: it's that easy. It's not easy, like you got to execute,

402
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: but you trust this running offense to be able to

403
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: do that, I would think. Um, so that's that's really

404
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: where it all starts for me obviously, is running the ball.

405
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: Can I ask you a question about their third down? Um?

406
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: Do you know about that? Which? Which aspect of it?

407
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: Like third and one? I mean, are like short yardage?

408
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: Are they good there it? Well? Short yardage again, yes,

409
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: like they they can because this line is really good

410
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 1: at stopping those types of things. Um, it just depends

411
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: on what they want to throw out there. The reason

412
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: why I asked that is that sometimes you know, you say,

413
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: stats can be deceiving. If you've got a team with

414
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: with some you know, beef in the middle there like that,

415
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: it's hard to just third and one to just say

416
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that. Those are the type of players

417
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: that bring an average down anyway, So why is there

418
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: average at five yards? Now that's the worst in the league.

419
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: I get it. But if there's the teams that aren't

420
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: really trying to test them on third and one and

421
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: fourth and one, those are the type of plays that

422
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: you're like, well, I'm gonna we're not even going to

423
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: try it. That's the reason that their average is going

424
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: to be higher than than you would think. You know

425
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: what I mean, I don't know that it's a good point.

426
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: I don't know if they if they're third and you know, short,

427
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: fourth and short, if they're really good or bad. I

428
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: don't have those numbers on hand. I will say this,

429
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: their numbers up the middle are far better than the

430
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: rest of their numbers, meaning and I will give credit

431
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: where it's due. I borrowed these stats directly from John Owning,

432
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: who does he does tape work for the Dallas Morning News.

433
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: He's great at it. If you're not, I mean you

434
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: should definitely go check that out. Um, three point three

435
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: yards per carry going at the right guard. I mean

436
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: this is their defense, so they allowed. So if you

437
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: go at their right guard, if you got your right guard,

438
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: yea three point three three yards yes, four point one

439
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: on left guard. So in the middle, and again that's

440
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: where their best players are. That makes sense. It's when

441
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: you take it outside five point two yards per carry

442
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 1: at left tackle, five point seven yards per carry at

443
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: right tackle, and if you go off the end it's

444
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: five point six and five point two, which to Met's

445
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: about linebackers. Absolutely, like Jalen and Layton, how good are

446
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 1: they at pursuing across the field side to side? And yeah,

447
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: they don't have guys that can do that. So I mean,

448
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: if you test the teeth of this line, it'll probably

449
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: go pretty poorly for you. But the rest of their

450
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: personnel allows you to take advantage of that, in my opinion,

451
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: and that's that's where it starts with me, because you

452
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: should be able to take advantage of that because again, okay,

453
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: you wanted to talk about their secondary I think that's

454
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: a case where stats can be deceiving because again, you know,

455
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: you're talking about a team that's had big leads for

456
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: most of the season. Teams have to pass against them.

457
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: They're still fourteenth, and it keep has missed a lot

458
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: of the year, and the keep to leave has missed

459
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: a lot of the year. Marcus Peters, you know, you

460
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: could make the argument like when when he was the guy,

461
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: maybe he didn't live up to his billing, but to

462
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: leave his backs, So that's kind of irrelevant in my

463
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: in my eyes anyway, Um, it's classic Wade Phillips, like

464
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: they just do their thing. They play. Those guys play

465
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: head up on guys, they press them fingle safety high

466
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, absolutely like they I mean they trust

467
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: their personnel, I would hope. So they traded for Talib,

468
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 1: they traded for Peters like that's that's why they got him.

469
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: And it's a smart move when you have a defensive

470
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: front like they do, to go out and get corners

471
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: that can really just man up on the outside and

472
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: then you can try to get some pressure and in

473
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: hope that you get more pressure before they can get free,

474
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: which I don't have. I don't have this on hand,

475
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: but the the narrative is that which it's It is interesting.

476
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper used to be in the AFC West. He's

477
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time playing against Talib and Peters

478
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: on other teams right on other and so um. The

479
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: narrative is that he's fared far better against Peters than

480
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: he did against Talib, which I believe a lot of

481
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: people do. The the insane game that he had if

482
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: you remember last year, I think it was a Thursday

483
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: night game Keef's Raiders. Cooper put up like two twenty

484
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: or something on the I mean he had he had

485
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: a dope game and he did a lot of that

486
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: against Marcus Peters, So that's probably where I think they

487
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: were from. You think they do they add all this season?

488
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: Do they travel to leave? I mean, it's it's what

489
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: it always is, is like more often than not, those

490
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: guys handle their side of the defense. But like, yeah,

491
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: I think they probably would. And if they feel like

492
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: to Leab is going to be better against Cooper, yeah,

493
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: I think that they would make that adjustment. But that

494
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: does go back to the question we got from a

495
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: fan I think it was yesterday, where they were asking,

496
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, would you put Cooper in the slot? My

497
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: thought is, if you got a situation like that, I'd

498
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: move them around a lot and forced them to always

499
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: adjust to wherever I'm going to put him. And if

500
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: they wanted to start traveling a key to leave, then

501
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: that means, as we've talked about before, that means everybody

502
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: else now has to travel because they can't just stay

503
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: on the side that they're accustomed to. But i'd firstly,

504
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: i'd personally test them. If you feel like that's the

505
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: guy that's the clearly the best of what they do,

506
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't let them easily be able to just line

507
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: up against my best if he's able to do it.

508
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, he's a really good receiver, but I

509
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: mean he hasn't been here for a whole offseason and

510
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: all that. Sometimes he get him to do the things

511
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: that he needs to do. Just because he goes inside,

512
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that he's, you know, going to be

513
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: effective there. And if Beasley's you know, like we said yesterday,

514
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: if Beasley's on the outside, I don't know if I

515
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: like that. So it's it's like how right I And

516
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 1: that can lead you. You can take this like down

517
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: a road where you're gonna go, oh, well, the coaches

518
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: are bad, which I mean that's you know, most people

519
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: think that anyway, that's fine, which I guess. My point though,

520
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: is this is not This is not a team that

521
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: seems to just make drastic adjustments based on their opposition.

522
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: I don't you know, Jalen Smith spied Russell Wilson last week,

523
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: and that's a wrinkle that we don't always see, but

524
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: like more often than not, I feel like the Cowboys

525
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: are way more just about like, if we execute the

526
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: way we should, then we don't need to gadget it up.

527
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: But they have done special things when they play special opponents. Obviously,

528
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: they did that with New Orleans. They did some different

529
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: things defensively than they typically And I'm spitballing here, so

530
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: I want you to correct me if I'm wrong, But like,

531
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: have they done a lot of that on offense? No?

532
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: And your example was on defense as well. So yeah,

533
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: that's a good point that they have made more adjustments

534
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: like that typically on defense when they've done it. I

535
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: struggle to think of a game where somebody on offense

536
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: was just doing something way outside. I mean, you know,

537
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: Blake Jarwin, Yeah, at that game against the Giants, but

538
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: was he well, I mean, okay, they sent him up

539
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: the scene more off They did some things than that

540
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: game a little different, It's true. But in terms of

541
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: like Amari Cooper just suddenly playing fifteen snaps in the slot, Like,

542
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: have we seen a lot of that this year? We

543
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: do what we do. Yeah? No, And there's an art

544
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: I mean that I don't agree with that. You know,

545
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: I think you need to adjust to suit your opposition,

546
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: but I just don't I don't think the Cowboys will

547
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, and I honestly I don't. I don't

548
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: know that they would. I'm just I guess going back

549
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: to that question at the fan ask I think it's

550
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: something worth considering. Again, your point's valid, Nick that if

551
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: if he can't do it, he can't do it. You

552
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: don't just do something just because. But if he can

553
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: do it, if he has that capability, if he knows

554
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: all the positions, I would move him around a little

555
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: bit more. And again, I'm looking for opportunities. If I'm

556
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: making those calls, I'm looking for opportunities to get my

557
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: best players in the best positions possible, which means the

558
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: more I can move them around and force the defense

559
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: to have to identify where he is and try to

560
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: get their guy on him, the better chance that I'm

561
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: going to get a mismatch with my best player. And

562
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: if I can get mismatches with my best player, they

563
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: can make big plays. If you've followed the league at

564
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 1: all in the last like five years, you don't need

565
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: me to tell you that the secondary gets take of

566
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 1: I mean these dbs get takeaways. I mean Peters has

567
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: been insane since he got in the league. To leave

568
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: pick six that hundred yards against the Cowboys, to leave

569
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: did that to Dak in Week two last year. Yeah,

570
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,719
Speaker 1: like these guys, they're good. Neither one of them has

571
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: had like that type of season this year. To Leave

572
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: missed a lot of it. I think they both. I

573
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: think Peters has three and I think to Leave has

574
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: somewhere between one and three. Like not a high number,

575
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: but they obviously both can do it. The thing that

576
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,239
Speaker 1: scares me, and I put this on Twitter last night,

577
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: is they have they have fourteen for yeah, fourteen forced

578
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: fumbles as a team, twelve recovered. It's third in the league.

579
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: Nine of those have come from their defensive lineman, which

580
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: it shouldn't surprise you. They're good at getting pressure, but

581
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: they have shown a knack for getting the ball in

582
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: the pocket getting it from the quarterback. We know Dak

583
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: Prescott has had a problem with that. They have eight

584
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: fumble recoveries just as a line, So like Donald Brockers,

585
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: those guys eight, which is more than half the teams

586
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: in the league have period. So and to his credit,

587
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: Dak has been better. He's been better probably the last

588
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: three games with the ball security. But just don't don't

589
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: let up now, because that's something that worries me. Yeah.

590
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: Part of that is that Donald just gets such great

591
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: penetration throughout the game, like he's a guy that can

592
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: wreck a game from the defensive tackle position, and when

593
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: you're getting when you're getting up feels so quick. Sometimes

594
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback doesn't have a chance to adjust. He's trying

595
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: to get rid of the ball and then he grabs

596
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: an arm and bam, balls out. I think, I mean,

597
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: how many times you see him, Kalil Mack, those really

598
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: great defensive players do that, And I think it's because

599
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: they just get back on the quarterback so quickly. The

600
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: quarterback doesn't even really recognize that they are in cloth.

601
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: They're in arms reach to be able to make that

602
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,719
Speaker 1: kind of play. And just in case you were curious,

603
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: Zack Martin actually, which so I think every other week

604
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: I've talked about how somebody can wreck a game. I

605
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: say that all the time. Zack Martin said that about

606
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: Donald Yet he's like, this guy can wreck everything on

607
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: his own, which carries more weight coming from him than me.

608
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: He also, and it's a it's not a Connor Williams thing,

609
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: like he just likes to rush over the left guard.

610
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: He's a three tech. He's gonna line up right off

611
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: the guards outside shoulder, and he just likes the left

612
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: side for whatever reason. So have fun. And honestly, this

613
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: is XAVI. You talk about Aaron Donald and Sue obviously

614
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: hasn't been the greatest player since he's been there with

615
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: them this year. But I'll say one of the best

616
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: games I ever saw a defensive tackle play was in

617
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: college when he was playing for Nebraska and he played

618
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: against Texas and talk about wrecking the goodev won the

619
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: Heisman that year. Talk about wrecking a game from the

620
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: defensive tackle position. I mean, every single play almost he

621
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: was in the backfield. Texas was trying to double him,

622
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: are trying to triple to like they had no answers whatsoever.

623
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: I mean this guy and he's the kind of guy

624
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: that even though he might not have had a great

625
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: season on a given day, he can show up and

626
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: probably turn that on and have that kind of day

627
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: if given the opportunity. This is you know, I always

628
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: hesitate to say these types of things about players, but

629
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: something it's always seemed like with Sue. You know, he's

630
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: not that like relentless motor guy like an Aaron Donald

631
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: or a DeMarcus Lawrence where it's just always on like

632
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: he I think he picks and chooses his spots. But

633
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: if it's third and four and the games on the

634
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: line in the playoffs, Like, you're probably gonna get that too,

635
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: Like people, you know, it's a great play and it's football.

636
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: It's not a big deal. But the famous uh you

637
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: know the Romo to Winton fourth down, you know, the

638
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: one Garrett diagram and went and retired that helped them

639
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: win the Lions game. Ronald Leary had to basically hug

640
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: Sue and bring him to the ground to keep him

641
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: from sacking Romo. Like it was one of the most

642
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: blatant holds I've seen in forever. And that's the type

643
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: of stuff you have to do to beat him. He's

644
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: not He's got talent, There's no doubt, no doubt they

645
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: got talent. It just hasn't always shown up for him

646
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: this year. And so we'll see how that helps. And

647
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: we'll see how much the Cowboys offense can affect that too,

648
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: because this offensive line I think played really well last week.

649
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: We'll see how much they can they can pull some

650
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: more of that against what is a really really good front,

651
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: probably a better front. I mean, I think one of

652
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: the reasons why Aaron Donald is probably getting so many sacks,

653
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: it's just the mindset of the defense to go rush

654
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: the quarterback get there and you know, when you hit home,

655
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 1: that's great. But when they when they pop up a

656
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: draw right, you know, right in between both of them,

657
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: then that's what's get leading to some of these bigger runs.

658
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: So I think that, you know, just the mindset of

659
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: every all those guys, I gotta get sacked, I get

660
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: up the field. That's fine. But but if you're not

661
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: in the right spot, then that's when you're gonna get

662
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, be vulnerable to a run. Of the of

663
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: the nine games they played against teams in the top

664
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: half of the league in rushing offense, they only held

665
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: two of them below a hundred yards. They held Denver

666
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: to sixty Denverse twelfth. They held Kansas a pretty good

667
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: running game, yeah, no decent, and they held Kansas City

668
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: to ninety eight. Um, Kansas. At what point of the

669
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: season was that? That was the fifty four to fifty one, Okay, whatever, November,

670
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't remember the exact Playing in the game is

671
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: what you're at. Yeah, he was playing game. He was playing. Um.

672
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: But also, I mean, the Chiefs have other things in

673
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: mind than running the ball. Oh yeah, and they were

674
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: doing it well, and that that's their ranked their ranked sixteenth,

675
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: So they are the last possible spot that I considered

676
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: for this. So that you know, Seattle one ninety, Seattle

677
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: two seventy three, New Orleans forty one, Chargers one forty one,

678
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: San Francisco one twenty seven, San Francisco one oh seven,

679
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: Chicago one ninety four. I'd be very surprised if the

680
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys can't successfully run the ball and at least to

681
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: the one forty range, right, I mean least they did

682
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: one eighty nine on them at AT and T, And

683
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: by I mean obviously this is not a recipe for success. Necessarily,

684
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: Seattle ran for two seventy three and one ninety and

685
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: lost both of those games, but it was a two

686
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: point loss and a five point loss that came in

687
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: the final minutes. So it will give you a chance

688
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: to be successful if you can do it, I think.

689
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: Um and yeah, So they ran. They ran for one

690
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: eighty nine in Week four last year. Alfred Morris had

691
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: the seventy five yard run. Uh did you finally see

692
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: the Alan Herns? Yeah, they're just holding on it. This

693
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: is the actual game broadcast, I think. So Okay, yeah,

694
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: I like looked over and if you're if you're listening

695
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: when you have TV's in the studio, and like Derek

696
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: and Nick just both like jumped out of their seat

697
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: in agony. I haven't really seen that play, and so

698
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: you have now it was happening, all right, I no,

699
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: I mean, this defense is much better than the stats

700
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: say they are, I think, and it's full of guys

701
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: who have been here and done that. I mean, you know,

702
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: to leave obviously is the big one. Um. But Sue

703
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: has been in the playoffs. Donald has Donald played a

704
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: playoff game last year. Peters with the Chiefs like they

705
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: they're they're not new to this, at least not all

706
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: of them. So all right, let's go ahead and take

707
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: our final break. We'll come back and we'll get some

708
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: Let's get some questions. Eight eight eight eight five five

709
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: two two nine seven is our number again. It is

710
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.

711
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: You can also hit us on Twitter at Cowboys Break.

712
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: This is the break. Well, the player could look good

713
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: on paper, it's when he's out on the field that

714
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: you really find out what he's made of. That's why

715
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys rely on more than just stats and scouting

716
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: reports when building their team. When picking a tractor, It's

717
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: why you should rely on more than just specs and features.

718
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: You've got to take it out and put it to

719
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: the test. The Cowboys did when they name John Deer

Speaker 1: it's like ninety minutes, just come be part of the atmosphere.

791
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: I probably will the weather. I will say this. I

792
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: heard that there's like this big tailgate that's gonna be

793
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: going on for cowboys fans like this, Like I want

794
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: to say, it's like ten or twenty different fan clubs

795
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: are all kind of coming together. I might even dip

796
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: out there, but it's if you're coming up, there will

797
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: be Cowboys fans hanging out out. Actually, I'm here, I

798
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: might dip out there. I might. I might. I meet

799
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: you guys every time you guys come to San Diego.

800
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: I've met you and Nick every last time, So I might,

801
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: all right make the trip up. Man, it'd be good

802
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: to see I probably will, but real quick, I want

803
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: to get you guys tick on this. How do you

804
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: guys still on this game? About comeback routes? So those

805
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: a little quick hitches because as I look at Talib

806
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: and Peters, they sit on these comeback routes, and over

807
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, Dak has been laid on

808
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: those comeback routes. I've seen dbs drop the ball, and

809
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: I don't think this team is going to drop the ball.

810
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: I agree with that, just like Talib took that one

811
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 1: for a hundred yards. That was a comeback route. And

812
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: it's like every time we get to get to the

813
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: team where these dbs sit on those routes, they got

814
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: a good d line Denver, just like the Rams do

815
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: and these dbs are not They're sitting on it. So

816
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm thinking more crossing routes, a little something different this week.

817
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:04,959
Speaker 1: I just want to get your guys on those routes.

818
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: It's great. I think that's in a stew point when

819
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: I think you talk Hey, all all credit in the

820
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: world to Dak Prescott. He's played great, but like you

821
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: forget about those things when you're when you're winning and

822
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: you know when the dbs are dropping the ball. But

823
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: he's left some out there, and it's been a talking

824
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: point all year, like it's so stupid how often they do.

825
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: It's like third and eight, so they run eight yard

826
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: comebacks to the sticks like it's the most predictable thing

827
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: in the world. So yeah, I think that's a really

828
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: good point. That Redskin game where um Michael Gallup scored

829
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: his first touchdown, it was one of those stop and

830
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: go I mean, you kind of have to do that.

831
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: And it reminds me of the time they played the

832
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: Rams up in Saint Louis because it was twenty fourteen

833
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: where Genorris Jenkins had an interception early in the game

834
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. You know he was he jumped into

835
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: a slant and then later in the game and they

836
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 1: did a stop and go. And I don't think Dez

837
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 1: Bryant's ever been as wide open as he was because

838
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 1: you have to, you know, make him pay for doing

839
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: those things. So that's what I hope, You're right. I

840
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: hope the Cowboys will make them pay for that. They're

841
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: gonna sit on that, You're gonna have to hopefully block

842
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: them long enough to do a stop and go. I

843
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: just this is totally anecdotal. I have nothing to back

844
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: it up, but I just feel like this team runs

845
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: crossing routes like less than everybody else in the league. Yea,

846
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 1: deep crossers, shallow crossers. I know. Uh Dak actually threw

847
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 1: a pick on a route like that. He was looking

848
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: for a Mari in the end zone against um crap.

849
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: I don't know Tennessee. No, was it Tennessee or I

850
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 1: think it was Philly. It was the first Philly or

851
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: the second Philly? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah through but it well,

852
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: it was there, it was there, and it was just

853
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: a bad it was a misthrow missroute whatever. Anyway, Yeah,

854
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: I'd love to see more of that, but I'm not optimistic.

855
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: Let's take a call from GEO in Jersey City GEO.

856
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: What g O are you there? Guess not? All right?

857
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: Do you have any questions? Let's get a question. Did

858
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: you guys get a chance to watch back then? Uh?

859
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,919
Speaker 1: The La Rams versus Eagual game? Yeah? Yeah, I watched

860
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: it was a Sunday night football. I well, I watched it.

861
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: That's the main game I watched when I was watching tape.

862
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: So well, someone's asking and wanting to knew what were

863
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: some of the things that the Eagles were able to

864
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: do defensively to beat the Ramsha you remember, Well, I

865
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: was hoping you were going to ask about the Rams

866
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: defense because I'll tell they used a lot of play

867
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: action to beat them in that game. That's what they did.

868
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: And they ran the ball well, which is part of it.

869
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: Girly didn't play the full game, did he? I thinking

870
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: about the right, Yeah, I thought that was it was

871
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: that the game where he came out. They had they

872
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: pulled him out. I believe he didn't have a good

873
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: game in that game, and I want to say he

874
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: did because I think it's because he left his face golf.

875
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: That's what they were doing. They were they were you know,

876
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: they applied the pressure. I know that off the edge

877
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: they were and and I remember correctly, there was at

878
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: least two or three passes deflected. I mean they were

879
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: getting in his face and in those in those throwing lanes. So, uh,

880
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: they were just aggressive. And that defense is starting to

881
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: come on Philadelphia's you know that. I think. I don't

882
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: know if I said that yesterday here or on cover four,

883
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 1: but that's I'm fascinated. The line on golf is definitely

884
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: that if you get to him, he can't handle it.

885
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: And Garrett said yesterday that that was the thing that

886
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: impressed him the most is that he was so good

887
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: at throwing it under pressure when he was at Cow.

888
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: So both of those things can't be true, right, I mean,

889
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: well he say it at Cal Well, you're right, But

890
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: so he magically got worse. That's such a difficult thing

891
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: to do as he got to the pros. No, I

892
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: think he hang it worse at that. If you're facing

893
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: now three hundred pound grown men as opposed to three

894
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: hundred pound you know, if you if you display, if

895
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: you display that ability in the Pac twelve, I would

896
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: feel like it would carry over. Maybe not, maybe, I know,

897
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: I've just seen I've seen a lot of quarterbacks get

898
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: into the NFL and they get those big guys, Like

899
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: that's just I just feel like, whoever coming at me

900
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 1: the thumb print, Like you know, you go on Twitter,

901
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: you see it every it's like if you get to golf,

902
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: you just get to golf and it's all over. So

903
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: I want to see if that's true, because I think

904
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will get to him at least. I mean,

905
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:04,919
Speaker 1: he's not going to be clean. They might not sack

906
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: him six times. One thing I think I will I

907
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 1: feel pretty confident is that girly is what makes that

908
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: thing go. And so in that game, particularly when girl's

909
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: not at full blast, when he's not out there, when

910
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: his knee is bothering him, whatever the case is, I

911
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: think that matters because I think that offense really revolves

912
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: and it's no different than the Cowboys offense. I think

913
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense, in a lot of respects revolves around

914
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: what Zeke provides. We didn't talk about this yesterday, but

915
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: it's worth mentioning. C. C. J. Anderson's a better fallback

916
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: than Rod Smith is. He played really well these last

917
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: two weeks, murdered Dallas in Denver last year. He I mean,

918
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: so just saying I mean, yet they got they got

919
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: options if Curly's not at okay, So Girly yesterday on

920
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: the practice report with the knee still limited, Yeah, still

921
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: kind of just I don't know, how do you feel

922
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: about this? Like I don't I don't know what to

923
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: feel playing yes, and he's gonna and he's gonna play well,

924
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna play well. I'm just saying that. I think

925
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: if you want to compare, it's hard to compare that

926
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: Eagles game and say, what did they do the thing

927
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: they didn't have to do with stop Girley, And that's

928
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: the part that is to me the hardest thing to

929
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: do when you're playing that offense, you know, So it's

930
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: just hard to me to get a good comparison comparison

931
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: when you're playing when when it was the Eagles game

932
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: versus any other game that where he was playing. I mean, obviously,

933
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: I mean clearly that has something to do with the

934
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: fact that they won that game, and it changes the

935
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 1: whole game when he's in the field and when he's not.

936
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: But I don't know, we'll see this weekend he's playing

937
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: at this time of the year. Yes, of course you're

938
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: gonna play, but how well is he gonna play? That's

939
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 1: the question. True. All right, we appreciate you guys. John
