He 102 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 11: goes doesn't matter. I mean, he was. He was adamant 103 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 11: about it. I mean, and he's like, man, that's the 104 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 11: stupidest thing you've ever said. I don't, no, no, you 105 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 11: don't know me that way. I've said a lot more 106 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 11: stupid things than that. But no, we we've been very fortunate, 107 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 11: you know, the PR department stuff have always kind of 108 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 11: suggested guys, you know, to us, and it's worked out. Really. 109 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 11: We got a lot out of Zach Mark. Yeah, Zach 110 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 11: was actuously the very much the you know, how you 111 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 11: doing Zach good? You know, he's one of those. But 112 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 11: he he told some really good stories and so we've 113 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 11: been really fortunate. It's just unfortunate too for Eric that, 114 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 11: you know, the season didn't work out as well as 115 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 11: it did. 116 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 10: I really hope he can be back here again. 117 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 13: I do. 118 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 2: And I think he's good for that locker room too. 119 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 7: I think it's it would be a good thing for 120 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 7: them having back if they can get it at a 121 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 7: good price. Yeah, all right, let's talk a little bit 122 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 7: about some Washington injuries, because they I know, Brian you mentioned. 123 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 2: Yesterday, they have they're really going to try to play 124 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 2: this game. 125 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 7: But they got Tyler Biottish Marshaun Lattimore, Cornelius Lucas, Tyler 126 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 7: Owens all did not practice. Obviously, Beyoddish a center that 127 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 7: obviously was here with the Cowboys last year. Marshawn Lattimore 128 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 7: may be their best cornerback as a guy that they 129 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 7: picked up mid season. But are any of these do 130 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 7: any of these names jump out at us being most 131 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 7: problematic for them if they can't play? 132 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 8: Yeah? 133 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 5: I think so because of what's happened. What was Andrew Wiley? 134 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 5: I didn't, I didn't what was Andrew Wiley on that list? 135 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 8: Limited? 136 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 11: Limited? 137 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 8: He was upbraded's a limited yet? 138 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 11: Okay, then if he if he's limited, and maybe they're 139 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 11: going to try and get him ready to play, but 140 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,559 Speaker 11: that's their right tackle and so if he's not able 141 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,559 Speaker 11: to go. Lucas was the backup first off the bench 142 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 11: against Atlanta and he got hurt. 143 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, something happened to him. 144 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 11: And then it became Trent Scott and it was kind 145 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 11: of like watching, you know, like, Okay, Trent Scott's kind 146 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 11: of our you know, forty eighth guy today. You know, 147 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 11: he's not really we didn't expect Trent Scott to have 148 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 11: to play, but he had to play. Be interested to 149 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 11: see if, in fact, what happens at right tackle, because 150 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 11: if Lucas can't go and Wiley's really limited, do they 151 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 11: really want to push Wiley with a playoff game the 152 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 11: following week? But they need now, They they might need 153 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 11: this game. They want this win. Trent Scott to me, 154 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 11: would be a liability there for them at right tackle 155 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 11: if that's the case. 156 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 5: So please keep an eye on that one. 157 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 7: All right, Uh, let's go ahead and dive in. Let's 158 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 7: talk a little bit about this Washington defense. They are 159 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 7: an interesting bunch because right now they are third in 160 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 7: pass defense but twenty eighth in rush defense. When you 161 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 7: dive into some of the numbers around their passing defense, 162 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 7: they're fifth in blitz percentage, so they're blitzing a lot. 163 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 7: They're also fourth in sack percentage. And and all that 164 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 7: being said, they really only generated one sack against the Cowboys. Uh, 165 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 7: and only two pressures or so, I'm sorry, two quarterback hits. 166 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 7: That was Deron Payin who got the sack against Dallas. 167 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 7: What did you see in that Dallas game? 168 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: Uh? 169 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 7: That helped Dallas maybe negate what seems to be a 170 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 7: strength for this team. 171 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: I will say I did see Frankie Louvo absolutely dominating 172 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 3: that game. And I give credit to Brian while the 173 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 3: game was going on, like, hey, he told y'all about 174 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 3: Frankie louvou. This guy is awesome. But I think as 175 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 3: the as the game went on, they they yeah, just 176 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 3: throwing Hey it. 177 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 8: Worked out, it worked out, while you hit one, right, But. 178 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 3: Uh, they relied on the run in that game, and 179 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 3: it ended up working out for them in the end. 180 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 3: But you look at most of that game, and most 181 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 3: of that game they couldn't generate points to save their life, 182 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: and you look at the two late touchdowns that were 183 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 3: off of a kick return. So that final score was 184 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 3: thirty four to twenty six, but the offense really at 185 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 3: the end of the day was only able to put 186 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 3: together twenty points and that only accounts for a couple 187 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 3: of touchdowns. Granted they had a couple of missfield goals. 188 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 3: I feel like they moved the ball. 189 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 8: Down the field really well. 190 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 3: They tied that defensive front down and the long sustained 191 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 3: drives really helped them in that game getting down the 192 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 3: field because they were keeping that defense on the field 193 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 3: for eight, nine to ten play drives. 194 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 8: But they just weren't able to execute at the end. 195 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 5: Can I quickly read my pregame notes for this one? Yeah, 196 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 5: real quick. Rush completed the second most passes twenty four 197 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 5: against the Commanders all year. 198 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 2: Yep. 199 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 11: Cowboys offensive line only allowed six pressures on thirty two 200 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 11: drop backs. This tied for the fewest pressures the Commanders 201 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 11: have allowed all season. Long that Atlanta had only six 202 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 11: pressures given up that game. The seven point nine yards 203 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 11: per play were the fifth most the Commanders have allowed 204 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 11: all season. The Commanders blitz Rush nine times in the 205 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 11: last meeting. This was the fifth fewest blitzes for them 206 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 11: for the season. Sixty three percent of the Cowboys routes 207 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 11: were open, which is the highest percentage the Commanders have 208 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 11: allowed all year. Twenty five percent of the Cowboys routes 209 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 11: were considered wide open. That's the fifth most for the 210 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 11: season for them. So you could kind of see that 211 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 11: they and my final one here real quick of too. 212 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 11: Cowboys averaged almost four yards of target separation, which was 213 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 11: the third highest allowed by the Commanders all year. Dallas 214 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 11: played their ass off in that game. 215 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 5: They really did. Offensive. 216 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 11: Cooper Rush was really really good, Matt, you know, if 217 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 11: you look at him. Overall, the number of completions. The 218 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 11: twenty four, that's the second most they've given up in 219 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 11: all their games this year. You know, they've played some 220 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 11: pretty decent quarterbacks as well, So this is the challenge. 221 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 11: But you know, Ceedee Lamb was a big part of 222 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 11: what they were able to do. 223 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 5: But they attacked on a couple of different levels. They 224 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 5: went after Jeremy Chin, the safety. 225 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 11: They got some matchups on him that proved beneficial as well. 226 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 11: So you know, the commanders have got to kind of 227 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 11: maybe come into this sing and rethink, you know, do 228 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 11: we pressure Cooper rushmore? Do we blitz some more? You 229 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 11: know they're gonna blitz. They're gonna blitz right about so 230 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 11: I'd say thirty four percent of the snaps is what 231 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 11: the numbers, the metrics will tell you. But it's pretty 232 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 11: balanced across the board. When they blitz, it's not just 233 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,719 Speaker 11: all like third down blitzes. They'll blitz on first down, 234 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 11: they'll blitz on second down. The blitz so but they 235 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 11: had Dallas has got to be ready for that, and 236 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 11: there's a lot of single high. Half their defense is 237 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 11: single high. If you had Dak and you had Ferguson. 238 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 11: This is where we always talk about attacking the seams 239 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 11: and maybe this is where Dallas kind of looks at 240 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 11: it too, with with with Chin and then also Kwan Martin. 241 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 11: Kwan Martin was really involved in the Running Game the 242 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 11: last time you played. And that's what you're gonna have 243 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 11: to do in the Running Game. It's it's gonna be 244 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 11: about blocking Wagner and Luvu. Like like my man Nick 245 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 11: here said, I think that you have to worry about 246 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 11: up front though for your pass rush stuff. Is Deron 247 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 11: pain that that and they doubled him. He got doubled 248 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 11: more when you watch it, he got doubled more than 249 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,479 Speaker 11: any of the other other Commander defenders. 250 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 5: I kind of feel like they're gonna go. 251 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 11: Into the same the same boat with with him and 252 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 11: see how that all kind of plays out him Jonathan Allen, 253 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 11: you know, we'll see they're really. 254 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,239 Speaker 5: A good team inside. 255 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 11: But they they they held Fouler in check, they held 256 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 11: Armstrong in check. It's the Frankie Luvus and guys like 257 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 11: that Wagners that the ones that were that were running 258 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 11: to make those plays in the Running Game, but also 259 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 11: some of the pressures that they got, and they didn't 260 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 11: get a whole lot of pressure with their front. 261 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's let's take our first break. 262 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 7: When we come back, I'm gonna ask you guys the question, 263 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 7: how much do you think the familiarity that Dallas has 264 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 7: with dan Quinn and his system and even guys like 265 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 7: Dorn's Armstrong and Dante followers just mentioned, how much do 266 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 7: you think that affected that last game?

It was like, Okay, we 343 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 3: haven't seen Dante Fowler, Drn's Armstrong really make a play 344 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 3: in this game. 345 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 8: And I don't know how much of that is them knowing. 346 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 3: I don't think I have a great answer for your 347 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 3: question there, Derek, but I think I think that's certainly 348 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 3: notable whenever you look at that. I think we saw 349 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 3: it more so on the other side of the ball 350 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 3: when we talked about it yesterday with Mike Zimmer hunting 351 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 3: matchups with Mike Mike Carson's after Tyler Piattish and him 352 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 3: knowing that he could. 353 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 8: Beat him, but defensively on the other side. 354 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 3: I don't think I have a straight answer there for you, 355 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 3: other than knowing that those guys really didn't make an 356 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 3: impact in that game. 357 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 11: I think it's funny because I think Dallas had an 358 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 11: understanding of what they wanted to do on defen or 359 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 11: wanted to do against the Commander's defense. I don't think 360 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 11: the Commander's had a clue how to play Dallas Dallas's 361 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 11: defense because. 362 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 5: If you look at the way that that. 363 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 11: Annuals the rush the pressures, he was like one of nine, yeah, 364 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 11: throwing the ball and the one pass that was complete 365 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 11: was a touchdown. It was one of nine against pressure, 366 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 11: and they didn't have a good handle on Micah Parsons 367 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 11: playing three technique, and you know it's it's really it 368 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 11: was good good on Dallas understanding Dan's defense, bad on 369 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,359 Speaker 11: the commanders not understanding Dallas's defense. 370 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 7: And could it also be as a part of that, Brian, Yeah, 371 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 7: that the quarterback as a young quarterback and any experience, 372 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 7: he has not seen the kind of things that that 373 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 7: Mike Zimmer can throw at you. Right, and we've staying 374 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 7: with other young quarterbacks I've had to face this defense. 375 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 7: It can be a little challenging because it's just a 376 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 7: lot of different things that you have to adjust to 377 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 7: and adapt to, and that's what makes it very tough. 378 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, all of a sudden, you're like thinking, 379 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 11: Michaeh Parsons is going to come off the edge and 380 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 11: he's standing right there, like, you know, three feet from you, 381 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 11: you know, against a guy that you during the season. 382 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 11: You're like, oh, this guy's not gonna be able to 383 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 11: block my Parsons Alagrett, he's not going to get you know, 384 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 11: he's not going to get over there and get this. 385 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 11: This could be a problem. And so yeah, and then 386 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,479 Speaker 11: all of a sudden, you get secondary blitzes. You know, 387 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 11: you get Jordan Lewis and Wilson coming on a blitz. 388 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 11: You know, like you're thinking, wait a minute, the nickel 389 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 11: corner and the safeties both are coming on this blitz. 390 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 11: So now that plays with your. 391 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 5: Head a little bit. 392 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 11: And I think they I think Mike did a really 393 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 11: good job of confusing at Danielson and Cliff Kingsbury. I 394 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 11: don't think Cliff Kingsbury adjusted very well to what they 395 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 11: were doing either. 396 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 3: I will say I think they hunted matchups. I'm going 397 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 3: back through their numbers here. They hunted Noah BNAGHENI quite 398 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 3: a bit with Ceede Lamb. 399 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 8: Like it was. It wasn't a lot of downfield action. 400 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 3: The longest reception the CD know him, it was thirteen yards, exactly. 401 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 5: Why Jordan Lewis is going to be there next year. 402 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 3: But Lamb, please please, but Ceedee Lamb ats haend receptions 403 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 3: for sixty seven yards well. 404 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 11: And you know, and also to go back and look 405 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 11: at the numbers of what they did against Frankie Luvu 406 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 11: and Wagner, they I think they had seven completions for 407 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 11: fifty something yards against these guys. So they hunted a couple. 408 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 11: You know, they were kind of checking it down underneath 409 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 11: and stuff. When when Lulu or Wagner weren't rushing they 410 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 11: kind of worked off that, you know, they they gave 411 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 11: up some completion so I think there was I think 412 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 11: there were eight attempts, seven of them complete. You know, 413 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 11: they were working off those linebackers too, so you know, 414 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 11: good for him doing that. And I mentioned I mentioned 415 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 11: Jeremy Chin and what what he had to deal with, 416 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 11: you know with the three catches for sixty one yards 417 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 11: and a touchdown. So they were hunting some matchups in 418 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 11: that secondary. And you're right about Noah, you know they 419 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 11: they they were. 420 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 5: There. 421 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 19: We go, that's here, right, Yeah. 422 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 5: I can't wait till you get for this draft show. 423 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 11: There are some crazy names of this clash. 424 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 7: Cooper rushed, as Brian you mentioned earlier, some of the 425 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 7: numbers he was. It was his best completion percentage in 426 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 7: this game that all season at seventy five percent second games. 427 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, he was better than. 428 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 5: The He was at seventy five percent this game, right yeah. Yeah. 429 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 7: And then but he was second best in quarterback rating 430 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 7: the Bucks game. Ye had a better quarterback rating at 431 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 7: one seventeen point six. Do you think that that gets affected? 432 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 7: Obviously their offense isn't the same without CD, but how 433 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 7: much do you think it affects what they're able to do. 434 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 7: Especially again in that game, they were hunting matchups, they 435 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 7: were finding some opportunities. There were a lot of guys 436 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 7: that got involved. How much you think that gets set 437 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 7: back by not having CD out there. 438 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, it hurts, It really hurts. I mean we saw 439 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 3: it last week in Philadelphia. This offense it runs through CD, 440 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 3: and it took even more importance whenever Dak was out 441 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 3: of the equation. You see Cooper on opening drives and 442 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 3: games over the course of the season, while he's been 443 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 3: starting finding CD building confidence, that's how he gets going 444 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 3: in a game. He didn't have that to build confidence 445 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 3: in the first quarter. Granted he was able to find 446 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 3: some guys in that first quarter. Jalen Tolbert off the 447 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 3: top of my head had a couple of them, Brandon 448 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 3: Cooks had a MiG their down completion, and the run 449 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 3: game helped on those first couple of drives too. 450 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 8: But after that you saw that the Cowboys. 451 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 3: Don't have a receiving option that can just beat you 452 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 3: over the course of a game. 453 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 9: But also, are we expecting Cooper Rush to play? 454 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 5: I am yeah, absolutely, absolutely. 455 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 8: I am yeah. 456 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 3: I understand that the Trey Lance potentiality but I think 457 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 3: with with Cooper Rush's incentive, he's going to play. 458 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 8: I just don't think that they're. 459 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 5: Not going to break some news. 460 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 9: I'm just asking. 461 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 10: I mean, there was some questions he was asked about, 462 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 10: you know, whether Trey Lance or even will agree or 463 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 10: we're going to see sometime this Weekend's always it. 464 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 5: Was not like he was committed to anybody right now. 465 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, right, And that's the thing, like I suspect, I 466 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 7: would not be shocked if they all play. 467 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 2: I wouldn't be shocked. 468 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 7: If this is like a preseason game where you have 469 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 7: everybody take a little bit of time and get some opportunities. 470 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 2: And stop the clock exactly. 471 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 7: Let me ask you guys this question. So for me, 472 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 7: I want everybody to take a chance. Give me your 473 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 7: best argument why Trey. 474 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 2: Lance should play in this game? 475 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 7: Should should be the predominant player at quarterback for this 476 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 7: team this game? 477 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 8: See what you got? 478 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's the little it's the last game 479 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 3: you have him under contract. You need to make a 480 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 3: decision on him in the offseason. I don't feel like 481 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 3: they have enough to make a good decision. 482 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 8: That's just me. 483 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 3: Obviously they know a lot more on that side. Of 484 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 3: the building about what Trey Lance can do. There was 485 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 3: a reason why he played almost every snap in the preseason. 486 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 3: But for me, let's see what he has against the 487 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 3: NFL starting defense, what he can accomplish over the course 488 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 3: of a game, and see what you could potentially be 489 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 3: bringing back in twenty five. 490 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 11: I'm so confused because listen to the owner general managers 491 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 11: say the Hayes and the barn on some decisions they've 492 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 11: made around here, you know, and that's talking about the 493 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 11: coach and you know, but if Hayes and barn and 494 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,959 Speaker 11: coaches coming back, then by all means, play Trey Lance. 495 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 11: Cooper Rush gives you the best chance to win the game, 496 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 11: he really really does, you know. So I'm I would 497 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 11: if you're if if there's still an indecision about the 498 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 11: head coach, you know, and Jerry wants to win this game, 499 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 11: you know, you play Cooper Rush, you know. So I 500 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 11: think that's where I think, That's where I'm at right now. 501 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,199 Speaker 11: I mean, if you if the general manager wants to 502 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 11: win this game, then then you need to play Cooper Rush. 503 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 11: There's no reason to play Trey Lance. I'd love for 504 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 11: them to play Trey Lance to shut us all up. 505 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 11: That's really what I'd like to see, you know, because 506 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 11: we keep asking about him, and you know, they're they're 507 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 11: insistent that you know, they're. 508 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 5: Trying to win games. And I don't blame him. I've 509 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 5: been in that situation. It's hard, it really is. 510 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 11: I mean, I'm sitting here thinking about draft picks and 511 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 11: talking about the draft and picking. There's a difference in 512 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 11: this draft. I think picking thirteenth and picking seventeenth, there's 513 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 11: a difference that those you know, because right now I 514 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 11: got fifteen first round grades. 515 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 5: That's the lowest I've had probably in years. 516 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 11: So I don't want to get out of that window 517 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 11: of potentially grabbing a guy like a Banks, you know 518 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 11: from Texas to tackle or somebody like that. That if 519 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 11: I if I wait to seventeen, I'm not going to 520 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 11: get him, you know that those kind of things. That's 521 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 11: the selfish side of me. But to them, I can 522 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 11: understand trying to win. Picking at seventeen, they don't care, 523 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 11: you know, I care. They don't care. I mean that 524 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 11: in a nice way. I don't mean that they don't care. 525 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 11: But they're trying to win games over there, and there's 526 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 11: no reason to play Cooper I mean, it's gonna be 527 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 11: no reason for them to. 528 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 5: Play Trey Lance. To them, there's not because they're trying 529 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 5: to win games. 530 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 10: I mean, I kind of want to see a little 531 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 10: agree I've been after that the way he left. When 532 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 10: he left on the last preseason game, he was so emotional, 533 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 10: you know, I'm like, he had such a good game. 534 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 10: I would love to see just for the fun of 535 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 10: Edgar him playing and Dak calling the place. 536 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 3: But that's not the reason Kobe Bryant went out on 537 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 3: the sixty point game. 538 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 8: That's how I view it. 539 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 10: Okay, So but no, I was I totally agree with 540 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 10: Brian and this one, Like, yes, if you're trying to 541 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 10: win this game, obviously the best answer, best choice would 542 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 10: be Cooper rush and have him out there. But it's 543 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 10: just one of those things that to me, if you 544 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 10: played Tray, what's the point at this point, you know, 545 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 10: unless you're trying to give him a chance. Maybe, hey, 546 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 10: it gives him the opportunity to potentially put some plays 547 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 10: out there for another team or kind of do him 548 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 10: a solid in that way. I don't know, because I 549 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 10: don't know if they do have true intentions of bringing 550 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 10: him back. 551 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 11: Yeah, I saw I saw Desmond Howard make our team 552 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 11: in Green Bay off one game, and you kind of 553 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 11: and I'm saying that in a way that maybe somebody 554 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 11: looks at their team and they go out there and 555 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 11: they do make a they say, you know what, there's 556 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 11: some qualities they take the preseason and then they maybe 557 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 11: maybe there's some positive things that happened in this regular 558 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 11: season game that like that you saw, like, okay, this 559 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 11: week looked like. 560 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 5: In the preseason. 561 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 11: Now here's where he's at, and you could kind of say, wow, 562 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 11: he's he's kind of developed a little bit this year. Yeah, 563 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 11: so I the selfish me would love to see him play. 564 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 11: The personnel guy that's trying to win another game is 565 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 11: thinking Cooper rushans to play. 566 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 3: I don't know how much his factors in, but his 567 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 3: entire family is going to be in Dallas this weekend. 568 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 3: His brother plays in a national championship on Monday in Frisco. 569 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 3: So he's at North Kota State. He's a wide receiver. 570 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 7: And I was gonna say it's one of those Dakota schools, 571 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 7: because yeah, they are always in the Championshis. 572 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 11: Folks in North Dakota State, I swear they need to 573 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 11: pay taxes yeah, they do. 574 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 2: There's a in that national championship right. 575 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 3: Hey, I don't know if I can say this specific 576 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 3: fast food chain on air, but there was a fast 577 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 3: food chain here and here in Frisco that uh they 578 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 3: have helmets of like all the local high. 579 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,959 Speaker 8: Schools and they. 580 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,199 Speaker 3: Have North Dakota State in there too, And I'm like, 581 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 3: that's hilarious that they should. 582 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 8: They should. They should go to. 583 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 11: Good business, go to go to the OMNI next story, 584 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 11: it's like a Green Bay packer convention. 585 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 7: All right, let's uh, let's I had to add one 586 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 7: other question before we go to our final break. 587 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 2: Outside of Tree Lance, did we answer your. 588 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 7: Question by the way, Yeah, we got we got to 589 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 7: what we wanted to get to. But outside of Tree Lance, 590 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 7: give me one other player that you think it's important 591 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 7: for them to get an opportunity this weekend and them 592 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 7: playing well makes the biggest impact on their career. 593 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 5: I think it's the left tackle. 594 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 8: I think it's as Richards. 595 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 5: I'm thinking Geydon. 596 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 11: Well, okay, I'm thinking because right now there's so much 597 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 11: you know, and Trumadoga is playing far better than I 598 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 11: ever believed he was going to play at tackle. I 599 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 11: think that Geydon needs some momentum going into the offseason. 600 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,360 Speaker 5: I think he needs to see. 601 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 11: Himself and then they need to sit down with him 602 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 11: and say, listen, you're a very capable football player, but 603 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 11: you have to do this, this, this and this in 604 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 11: order to have even more success. Okay, it's a tough 605 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 11: year in a lot of ways, the penalties, the learning curve. 606 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 5: All that. 607 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 11: But I think he really needs some positivity going into 608 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 11: the into the off season where they could build on it, 609 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 11: or a new staff could come in and who knows, 610 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 11: new staff comes in and watches their tape and they're like, going, 611 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 11: this guy's capable player, and then they can kind of 612 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 11: instead of like, well why didn't Guidon play? What was 613 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 11: Guyton's problem all year? 614 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 5: You know? 615 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,439 Speaker 11: And now the personnel guys are well, the previous staff, 616 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 11: you know, he was having penalties and that. I think 617 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 11: he needs some positivity going into this into the end 618 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 11: of the season. 619 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 8: One year. 620 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,479 Speaker 3: Thomas, I would like to see him get get rotated 621 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 3: in its safety. I feel like we've been we've been 622 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 3: clamoring for that for a while though. Austoin Richards, I 623 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 3: would like to see what he's got on the offensive line, 624 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 3: whether that be left tackle, right tackle, who knows. Let's 625 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 3: let's see what he's got up front. Those are the 626 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 3: two names that jump to mine immediately to me, and we've. 627 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 10: Had this conversation on another show. It has to be 628 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 10: one of the receivers out of who pick you make 629 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 10: your pick, because all of them, I feel like you 630 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 10: still need to show a lot more. And that's with 631 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 10: the exception of Brendan Cooks. Honestly, I don't I can't 632 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 10: even wait. Where's he out in his contract? 633 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:53,400 Speaker 8: Does this is it? 634 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 7: This? 635 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 20: Is it? Right? 636 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 9: So I don't know. For some reason, I. 637 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 10: Don't see him coming back with the Cowboys or them 638 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 10: making a deal with him. And we've talked about you 639 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 10: needing a second wide receiver, a legit one. 640 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 9: I think that gets addressed through the draft. 641 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 10: And but because of that, because of you seeing such 642 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 10: a clear need there, one of these receivers has to 643 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 10: step up. And the only one that I kind of 644 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 10: take out of the mix because I think he because 645 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,880 Speaker 10: of the way he got here, Jonathan Mingo, I don't 646 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 10: think he has so much to prove right this second, 647 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 10: I would start his taking time bomb right. 648 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 9: It's just the same Brian right at training camp. Yeah, 649 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 9: thank you. 650 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 12: Okay, the club, let's start the time thank you. 651 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 8: But I think with him, there's. 652 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 11: Some people we've already seen, believe that we've seen the 653 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 11: time bomb with that, Yeah, but. 654 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 10: With him, I think I'm waiting to see him with 655 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 10: Dak and not Cooper Rush. But anyways, these receivers, I 656 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 10: think this is the last game for them to kind 657 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 10: of really show something, especially with CD being out. 658 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 8: I'll say this for the receiving the receiving corps. 659 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 3: Like you said, probably Brandon Cooks, there's probably not a 660 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 3: reality where he's back next year. Jalen told her to 661 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 3: be back next year, Turpin, who knows. I think that's 662 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 3: gonna be a very interesting one as far as restricted 663 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 3: free agency goes. If there's a guy that you want 664 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 3: to see for me, it's Jalen Cropper. I want to 665 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 3: see what he can do in this offense. I know 666 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 3: it kind of it's very measly and practice squad talk, 667 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 3: but why not let's see what the guy has. He 668 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 3: was awesome in training camp, he was awesome in the preseason. 669 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 3: Uh he only had one game of elevation this year, 670 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 3: and see what he got. And then Dalvin Cook, would 671 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 3: you elevate him. 672 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 2: No, I would not. I think we've seen we need 673 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 2: to see. I've seen what I needed to see. I 674 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 2: think I'm good. 675 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 7: You know what I will say though, to your point 676 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 7: about value. 677 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 8: I'm good for a real chance. 678 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 7: To your point about Mingo, I actually would go into 679 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 7: this game and I would say I'm going to him 680 00:29:59,280 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 7: early in. 681 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 5: I should try. 682 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 7: I would try very hard to get him involved because 683 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 7: I want to see if you really focus on him, 684 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 7: because he won't be the focal point of the offense 685 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 7: next year, there's no chance of that, right, But if 686 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 7: you go into this game and say he's going to 687 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 7: be the focal point of our offense, we're going to 688 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 7: make him the guy that we're going to try to 689 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 7: concentrate on getting the ball to. 690 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 2: Because he's a big body. He can, he can. 691 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 7: He doesn't need a lot of separation, you wouldn't think 692 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 7: in order to be able to make. 693 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 2: Catches and make plays. 694 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 7: I would be trying to use him in a lot 695 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 7: of different ways just to see what I got, because 696 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 7: I do think that that's what he hasn't really had 697 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 7: to this point, like, really focus on getting him the ball. 698 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 7: I'd love to see it. And another name out thereof 699 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 7: for you du'ce fun Deuce. For Deuce, this is very important, 700 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 7: I think because he's getting that point in his career 701 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 7: where he's gonna have to start figuring out how to 702 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 7: get active, how to get on the field, how to 703 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 7: show them that he can be a role player for 704 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 7: them and whatever that role is. And so I think 705 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 7: if he gets an opportunity this weekend, it's going to 706 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 7: be important for him to make some plays. 707 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 3: This is a fascinating conversation because there's going to be 708 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 3: a point in the offseason where they're decide on guys 709 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 3: and they're gonna be like, man, I wish we could 710 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 3: go play a game right now. This is their opportunity 711 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 3: to go play the game right now and see what 712 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 3: they go. 713 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 11: You know, you've played some teams earlier in the season 714 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 11: that are really I excuse me, not the earlier but 715 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 11: latter part of the season, really that that play with cushion, 716 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 11: you know, and the Commanders are a team that plays 717 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 11: with cushion. If you look at the metrics of how 718 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 11: they play third most in the league, you know, seven 719 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 11: yards of cushion. It's okay, does that play well for Mingo? 720 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 11: Does that play well for Brooks? Does that play well 721 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 11: for Tovert. You know, maybe maybe you could find a 722 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 11: way to get some of these guys going like you're 723 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 11: talking about, you know, just just load say Okay, we're gonna. 724 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 5: Load Mingo up and see if he can. 725 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 11: You know, we're gonna give him six targets in the 726 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 11: first half and see how many receptions we can get 727 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 11: out of that and just kind of go from there. 728 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,239 Speaker 10: I like your playing, but to be clear, I one 729 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 10: hundred percent agree with you as to what the coaching 730 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,959 Speaker 10: staff needs to go into that game with and like 731 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 10: a game plan where you involve him. But as far 732 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 10: as I put that aside in the player individually, having 733 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 10: them as an individual needing to be to have a 734 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 10: successful game, that's where I take him out of the 735 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 10: equation like give me if he doesn't catch the ball 736 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 10: or whatever. I still have that grace period for him still. 737 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 10: But the other guys, they've had their time here now. 738 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 7: And well, but I think I think it is important. 739 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 7: Here's why I think it's important because I think that 740 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 7: a really great game from him makes the Cowboys think, Okay, 741 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 7: a lot of these other guys may not be our answer. 742 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 7: We still maybe need to go get a number two 743 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 7: but this guy gives us some firepower. There's something we 744 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 7: can do with him. I think it can be as important. 745 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 7: Like you said, to think about his career so far, 746 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 7: he just really hasn't I'm talking about I'm talking about 747 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 7: even at this previous stop. 748 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,719 Speaker 2: He really hasn't done a lot for where he was drafted. 749 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 2: And I think that's the part round pick. Yeah, you 750 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 2: got to get. 751 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 7: Him to a point where I also want to build 752 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 7: a little confidence with him. 753 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,719 Speaker 2: Like I want him to go to my sea thing. 754 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 7: Yes, exactly, But give him a lot of options, give 755 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 7: him a lot of opportunities, and then once once you 756 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 7: do that, if he shows you something, then he goes 757 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 7: into the all season and saying Okay, I think this 758 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 7: might be a place where I can grow. And now 759 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 7: go spend some time with Dak in the dockyard and 760 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 7: start figuring out how to be a part of this offense. 761 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 7: And I think he could be a legitimate guy that's 762 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 7: in your top three wide receivers. If he can show 763 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 7: you something, all we're gonna take our final break. He 764 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 7: had a time with Amber, But when we come back, 765 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 7: this is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. 766 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 2: If you can't be at the stadium.

But 837 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 10: you can look at it however you want, whether you 838 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 10: want to evaluate like the first half of the season 839 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 10: and see the progress that they made for the second half, 840 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,359 Speaker 10: or if you want to mush it all up and 841 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 10: just see it as a whole. First, let's start with 842 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 10: red zone efficiency, how successful they were, and again I 843 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 10: feel like there wasn't Let's start. 844 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:00,080 Speaker 9: With offense. 845 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 5: Zero efficiency. 846 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,839 Speaker 9: I mean, they didn't get their vert no. 847 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 11: And it and a lot of it had to do 848 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 11: even with Dak, they had some problems. They couldn't sequence plays. 849 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 11: I think I said that the right way, it would 850 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 11: seem like it would be an incomplete pass and then 851 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 11: a run and then maybe a force pass again and 852 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,879 Speaker 11: then all of a sudden, Brandon Aubrey's got seventy five 853 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 11: field goals in a row. You know, it just never 854 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 11: seemed like that they were able. You know, some teams 855 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 11: have just got a knack for how to kind of 856 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 11: get the running game in there, how to get like 857 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 11: a crossing route, how to get a pick play in Yeah, 858 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 11: everybody's got that kind of that quarterback run. 859 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 5: It seemed like we were very much. 860 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 11: Like he would look at the play sheet and everyone 861 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,760 Speaker 11: that he would select was either like a negative play 862 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,799 Speaker 11: or one that just had no chance. I just never 863 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 11: felt like there was any rhythm to their red zone offense. 864 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 7: I agree with that, and I think the reason why 865 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 7: is because most of those teams you're mentioning that that 866 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 7: really well, they typically have a pretty good running game, 867 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 7: and early in the. 868 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 2: Season, Dallas just didn't have it. 869 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,919 Speaker 7: And I think, quite frankly, and I've been pretty clear 870 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 7: aby where I thought the biggest problem was. 871 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:11,720 Speaker 2: It was the offensive line. 872 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 7: And I think when you got an offensive line problems, 873 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 7: not only can you not run the ball, which also 874 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,320 Speaker 7: tend to give up sacks, And how many times do 875 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 7: we see them get in the red zone and then sack, 876 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 7: you're back outside of the red zone, or you're having 877 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 7: to settle for a field goal, And so I just 878 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 7: think overall, I think I would say it wasn't as 879 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 7: good as it needed to be, but I think it 880 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 7: got better as the season went on, and I think, 881 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,919 Speaker 7: you know what the problems are. The problems are around 882 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 7: the offensive line and using your running game effectively. 883 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 2: And I think that. 884 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 7: I'm thinking they should know that, so going into the 885 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 7: off season they should be prepared to improve that and 886 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 7: can have some better success next year. 887 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't need me to tell you anything. Twenty 888 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,439 Speaker 3: seventh in the NFL and scoring touchdowns on they getting 889 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 3: the red zone. 890 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 8: Yeah, all right, they are. 891 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 3: Flip it the defense. Let's let's see what the what 892 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 3: the numbers have to say on that. 893 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 8: Give me one moment, y'all, y'all. 894 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 5: Have very good I want to say, I think initially 895 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 5: they were not very good. Yeah. 896 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 7: Well, all the points they gave up, they had they 897 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 7: had to be giving up some of the zone. 898 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 3: Wow, thirty second and the margin between thirty second and 899 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 3: thirty first is very large. 900 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 8: It's seven percent points. 901 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,280 Speaker 3: I mean it's it's there last by a healthy margin, 902 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 3: seventy three. 903 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 11: I think a lot of Yeah, I think a lot 904 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 11: of that had to do with what happened the first 905 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 11: like ten weeks this season. 906 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 7: Yeah, I would be interested to know what that is 907 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 7: like over the last five six games, over. 908 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 3: The last three thirty two, thirty one thirty twenty seventh 909 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 3: in the NFL. 910 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 2: Still what it was better but not great? Still bad, man, 911 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 2: that's tough. 912 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 8: Wow, that's tough. But yeah, I think. 913 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 3: Most of the time, whenever I think the defense found 914 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 3: themselves in the red zone, it was at the end 915 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,439 Speaker 3: of sustained drives. I mean, as most red zone drives are. 916 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,280 Speaker 8: But yeah, exactly. 917 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 3: But I can't really only think of a few opportunities 918 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 3: off the top of my head where the offense put 919 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:07,879 Speaker 3: them in the red zone. I think at the Cooper 920 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 3: rush fumble in Philadelphia, you have goodness, I can't really 921 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 3: think of a whole lot more turnovers that were inside 922 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 3: their own twenty unless I just can't think anything off the. 923 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 5: Top of my head. 924 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,879 Speaker 10: Okay, Now, third down conversions. This is something we've talked 925 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 10: about all year, all season long for the Cowboys. Let's 926 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 10: start with offense. Did you see how would how do 927 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 10: you rate the third down conversions? And also how do 928 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,880 Speaker 10: you feel about certain improvement in the last month. 929 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 5: I think they've gotten better in the last month. 930 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 11: Early it felt like that we were just like it 931 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,800 Speaker 11: would remember it would be like third and one and you're. 932 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 5: Just like, God, they're not gonna get this. Yeah, I mean, 933 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 5: you just did. 934 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 11: It goes back to what Derek's talking about, the offensive line, 935 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,919 Speaker 11: the lack of running game. They just the just the 936 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,759 Speaker 11: the rhythm of the play caller. It just it just 937 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 11: didn't seem their offense had no flow to it, and 938 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 11: so it would be like if they would convert on 939 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 11: third and short, it was like, you know, like they 940 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 11: needed one and they got one and a half. 941 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:13,799 Speaker 12: You know. 942 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,839 Speaker 5: It wasn't like they popped a run or threw a 943 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 5: pass or something like that. 944 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 11: I just I think they were searching for their third 945 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 11: down offense and they just they you know, initially was CD, 946 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,799 Speaker 11: you know it him throwing him the ball, but they 947 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,440 Speaker 11: didn't get it from Ferguson, who they normally get it 948 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 11: from some of the other receivers. And then I mentioned 949 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 11: the running game just wasn't good enough. So I think 950 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 11: initially is bad, but I think it's gotten a little 951 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 11: bit better with Cooks back in the lineup. CD was 952 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 11: doing some good things and then Dawdle's ability to run 953 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,479 Speaker 11: the football got better too. 954 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 3: This offense was second in the NFL last season, and 955 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 3: third down conversion percentage this year twenty fifth. They only 956 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,280 Speaker 3: converted on their third downs thirty six percent. 957 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 8: Of the times. That's another unacceptable note. 958 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 2: That's really bad. 959 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, it didn't matter who's the huge, huge it doesn't 960 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 3: matter who's in the lineup, who's at quarterback, who's uh, 961 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 3: you know, doing the pregame show on one oh five 962 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 3: through the fan. 963 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 8: It doesn't matter. It's uh, it's it's unacceptable. 964 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 7: Well, we know where the problems that originate. Again, I 965 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 7: think this goes hand in hand, Brian. We just like 966 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,880 Speaker 7: it's it's offensive line running game. If you don't have 967 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,439 Speaker 7: those two things worked out in the NFL, you're gonna 968 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 7: have a hard time and a lot of these other 969 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 7: parts of the game. 970 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 11: Didn't it seem like just to get when it got 971 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 11: the third down, it was just always a struggle. Yeah, 972 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 11: Like it just you're just like, God, they're not gonna 973 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 11: pick this up. You know, you just knew something was 974 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,840 Speaker 11: gonna mess up. You know they were gonna get a 975 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,879 Speaker 11: false start penalty or something's gonna happen that they don't 976 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 11: really get it. 977 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:42,799 Speaker 10: Well, no, we're running out of time, so let's just 978 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 10: quickly do the opposite side of the ball. How do 979 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,719 Speaker 10: you feel in uh, third down conversions on what the 980 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:48,359 Speaker 10: defense did? 981 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 11: Seemed like early again, the teams were just having the way. 982 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 11: As a matter of fact, there were times where they 983 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,920 Speaker 11: weren't even getting a third down. It was like it 984 00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,800 Speaker 11: was like they were Yeah, it was first down convert, 985 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 11: second down convert. The teams weren't teams were habited with 986 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 11: They were averaging six to seven yard shot. Yeah, and 987 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:10,320 Speaker 11: you weren't even getting the third down. So yeah, initially bad. 988 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 11: I think they've done a much better job because they've 989 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 11: come up with pressures with Parsons, Golston's gotten better. You've 990 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,279 Speaker 11: seen stuff with loss and I think the defense of 991 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,239 Speaker 11: secondary has gotten a little bit better. When it came 992 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 11: you know, you got Bland back. I think that helped 993 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 11: the linebackers. I think that second half has been much 994 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,240 Speaker 11: better than what you saw because they couldn't do anything 995 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 11: in the first half of the season. 996 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:33,319 Speaker 7: Yeah, I agree with that. 997 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 3: My last little guessing moment for you guys, do you 998 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,440 Speaker 3: want to guess where this defense ranked an opponent third 999 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,319 Speaker 3: down conversion percentage in. 1000 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 8: This the season? 1001 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 7: For the season, Yeah, I would guess they are at 1002 00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 7: about twenty seven. 1003 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:52,000 Speaker 9: Hmmm, twenty five, thirty three. 1004 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,720 Speaker 8: They are going to be shot sixth. 1005 00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,000 Speaker 5: Ranked. Well, I thought you met the percentage. 1006 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 8: That's why I said thirty three thirty six. 1007 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 2: They were that good. 1008 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,839 Speaker 8: Sixth Yeah, I thought it was a joke. 1009 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,799 Speaker 7: Well, maybe it's because of what Brian was saying, like 1010 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,480 Speaker 7: the UAFL champions, maybe because. 1011 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,839 Speaker 2: They were rarely getting them teams were rarely getting the things. 1012 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 3: They're rarely getting this to a third down. But also 1013 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,279 Speaker 3: I when they were getting into third down, I would 1014 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,879 Speaker 3: love to see their average third down yardage marker because 1015 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 3: typically when they were getting into third down it was 1016 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 3: by way of pressure or sack. And that this defense 1017 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 3: did find themselves behind the sticks and go way multiple times. Yeah, 1018 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 3: I didn't that that is a noticeable, noticeable factor. And 1019 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 3: it did feel like even though the offense was not 1020 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,359 Speaker 3: as great throughout the year, that they were still right 1021 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 3: their neck and deck every week as far as third 1022 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 3: downs with the. 1023 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 8: Other team coming against. 1024 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 2: That's impressive. 1025 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 8: Yeah, And would still. 1026 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 11: What a wrong about did it seem like that they 1027 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 11: were every time? Yes, yes, it was first in ten 1028 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 11: and they would get a gain of nine. 1029 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, but that's also the thing if if there, if 1030 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,239 Speaker 7: they're putting up thirty something points, forty points, whatever, then yeah, 1031 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 7: they're not going to be getting a third down a lot. 1032 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,960 Speaker 11: You wouldn't think they got punished at the very end 1033 00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 11: on stats, they were digging a hole and they couldn't 1034 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,560 Speaker 11: get out. Yeah, they could not get out, even though 1035 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:02,680 Speaker 11: they played better at the end. 1036 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 7: All right, well here's the real quick before we end 1037 00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:06,600 Speaker 7: the show, tell me what the Cowboys have to do 1038 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:07,920 Speaker 7: in order to get a win this weekend. What's the 1039 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,319 Speaker 7: most important thing they got to do is go around 1040 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 7: and Tayble, make you. 1041 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 3: First, Oh, show up, because I don't feel like they 1042 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 3: showed up in Philadelphia, I really don't. I feel like 1043 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,520 Speaker 3: the preparation going into that game was not great. 1044 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,319 Speaker 7: So you think it was preparation. It wasn't just all 1045 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,879 Speaker 7: the people that they've lost. Yeah, just kind of came to. 1046 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 8: It was mentioned on this show. 1047 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:29,399 Speaker 3: I forget, but you wonder how much their preparation leading 1048 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,319 Speaker 3: into that game was affected by Okay, hey we're not 1049 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,319 Speaker 3: in the playoffs. Christmases this week, we can go ahead 1050 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,240 Speaker 3: and start planning our offseason. Philadelphia's already in the playoffs 1051 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 3: and CD's gone. 1052 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 8: CD's gone exactly. 1053 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 3: So I if they prepared accordingly this week and they 1054 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,439 Speaker 3: let all this coaching stuff just kind of go out, 1055 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:47,359 Speaker 3: go in one ear and out the other, and they 1056 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,880 Speaker 3: actually prepare for this game, then I think there's a shot. 1057 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,239 Speaker 5: Control this Washington front and they did a good job 1058 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 5: last time they. 1059 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 2: Met, you know, and so their defensive front. 1060 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:55,879 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1061 00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 11: If Dallas this offensive line played well, they pass protected well, 1062 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,399 Speaker 11: they ran the ball well enough though, do the same 1063 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 11: blueprint would be good for me. 1064 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,680 Speaker 10: I think what gives him the best chance is just 1065 00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 10: win the turnover battle, don't give up the ball, protect 1066 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 10: the ball, and then on the flip side, obviously defense. 1067 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,560 Speaker 10: I think they can actually in this game create some 1068 00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,640 Speaker 10: turnovers and just have the offense be able to take 1069 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,880 Speaker 10: advantage of that and score some points. 1070 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 9: But are we picking? Are we picking? You're like whatever? 1071 00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:27,600 Speaker 5: Pick coach? 1072 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:32,360 Speaker 2: Wow, you want to make a pick. 1073 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,080 Speaker 9: If y'are and I'm not?
