8
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Welcome in, everybody. I'm live

9
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: from inside the SWBC Mortgage Studios. You can see it

10
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: back behind me, but we are virtual as always, or

11
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: at least as always this year. Rob Phillips, Isaiah stand

12
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: back in the Great heck Harrison as we break down

13
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: the great Yeah you got it, great, There you go,

14
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: the Great heck My Harrison breaking down this Atlanta defense

15
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: versus the Cowboys offense today where we're really going to

16
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: dive into how the Cowboys can look better on the

17
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,919
Speaker 1: offensive side of the football. And I know that's something

18
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: that is really a big question mark amongst Cowboys Nation

19
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: right now. But Rob, the thing is with me is

20
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 1: I'm pretty happy right now because there's some reinforcements coming

21
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: on that defensive side for the Cowboys in the form

22
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: of Jordan Lewis, seemingly because he was a full participant

23
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: in practice yesterday and this is a cornerback room that

24
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: really needs some extra help. And the fact that he's

25
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: available for a game where you have to stop a

26
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, a Russell Gage and Calvin Ridley. That's something

27
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: that sticks out to me because he's definitely one of

28
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: those guys who can make a play on the football.

29
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: Rob Yeah, for sure. I think we talked about the

30
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: how dangerous this Falcon's receiving core is and I got

31
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: I kind of got yelled at in my Twitter mentions

32
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: yesterday because I was like, hey, the injury report looks

33
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: pretty clean. Only Jordan Lewis is the only guy on

34
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: it and he had a full practice And everybody's like, yeah,

35
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: but they've got like eighteen guys on IR and you're right,

36
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: they do. But that is, uh, that is encouraging to

37
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: have Lewis full practice. That's a great sign for Sunday.

38
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly how that might affect the rotation,

39
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: because you know, Anthony Brown was kind of in that

40
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: nickel roll last week, and that's kind of been the

41
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: battle between those two guys for a couple of years

42
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: now who takes over the slot. But Lewis certainly could

43
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: do it when he's when he's healthy. And I think

44
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: he will be healthy because I think he got his

45
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: boot off. He had that ankle injury. He had the

46
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: boot off I think before week one, so I think

47
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: he's been he's been pouring towards full practice for a

48
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: while now. Yeah, that's absolutely great news to hear that

49
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: Jay Lewis is back. And obviously, prior to training camp

50
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: and even before all this ovid, we knew that a

51
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: Woozier and Lewis had to have a lights out camp

52
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: and it sounds like both of these guys during training

53
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: camp they did that. Very unfortunate for the High Eicle

54
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: spray for Jordan Lewis, but really fortunate for us. We

55
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: get him back at in a week that's really important,

56
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: and especially with the firepower that Atlanta has. So I'm

57
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: looking at Jordan Lewis to make some big plays this Sunday. Yeah, man,

58
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: it fellas. I just like his I like his energy, right,

59
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: I like Jordan Lewis's energy. I like it. I like

60
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: how tenacious he is. I think that's something that's going

61
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: to be needed this weekend against this onslaught of receivers

62
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: that obviously are coming to town. So kudos. I'm glad

63
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: he's back. Go ahead and throw them into the rotation.

64
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys back there competing, and competition

65
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: ever a bad thing, It's not a bad thing. And

66
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be some competition against Julio Jones.

67
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: And I was just asked this question on the fan

68
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: with Sean and RJ just a moment ago, and I

69
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: was gonna actually bring it up to you guys, because

70
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm struggling with this in terms of who who out

71
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: there do we put on these three receivers? Who do

72
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: you want matched up against the Julio Jones? Who do

73
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: you want matched up against the Calvin Ridley? And then

74
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: who's the third that ultimately has to go up against

75
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: Russell Gage. But I mean, when I look at it,

76
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: and this is my answer that I gave Sean and

77
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: r J, I said, why not throw treyvon Digs out

78
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: there on Julio Jones. There's a lot of reasons why not. Sure,

79
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: He's Julio Jones. Nobody's really gonna slow him down. But

80
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that. That's when I'm looking at it.

81
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: He's the most athletic one we've got back there, and

82
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: he's also the longest corner we've got back there. Isaiah,

83
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: if you have a rebuttal, give it to me, because

84
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm not confident in it. Um, you're a very mean

85
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: person because you want this. You want this rookie to

86
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: go out there and play against the best receiver the

87
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: NFL has to resist. Yes, by the way, who went again?

88
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: Us a dog ar good defense last week? And he's

89
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: still put up one hundred and fifty yards? Are you

90
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: serious right now? Yeah? Yeah, No, I'm I'm one serious.

91
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: It's trial by fire. I'm still I really seriously a

92
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: heart attack. I hope you don't walk into Diggs in

93
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: the hallway because he's gonna be like, why would you

94
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: say that? Would you do to me? Well? Who else

95
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: you put on? Hope he doesn't say that. Come on,

96
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: come on, Isaiah, If you're gonna do that, you know

97
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: you gotta give days help over the top. He won't

98
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: be he won't be a one man army versus Julio that.

99
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: Come on, Yeah, you know you're gonna you're gonna give

100
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: him help over the top, but he's got to get

101
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: used to it one of these one way or another.

102
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: He's a guy, you got. There's there's trial by fire

103
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: and then there's just death. Okay, let's not throw him.

104
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: He just got here. Let's not send him on his

105
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: way already. Okay, we don't want to say, r ip Diggs. Already,

106
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,679
Speaker 1: Julio Jones will have a complete field day. No disrespected, Diggs.

107
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: You made it to the league and you're gonna continue

108
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: to get better. You're a great player. But we're playing

109
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: against a great player, and not just a great player,

110
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: like the greatest receive that we have in the game today.

111
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: And I don't think that anybody can really dispeate that

112
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: right now. So let's not put him out there against Julio,

113
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: even with help, because we've seen Julio get guarded. Nobody

114
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: just goes man to man against Julio. He doesn't, right,

115
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think. I don't think that's what

116
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: we're talking about. Man. But with that right, Julio Jones

117
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: is still the best receiver and undoubtedly in this in

118
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: this league right now, and he never faces simply just

119
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: man to man coverage. So think about that. He always

120
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: has help over the top, and he's still it's Julio,

121
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: So yes, we might give me. Yes, Dixon, go out

122
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: there and do it. Agin It's just again, I'm just

123
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, hey, I you know, I am a realist.

124
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: If anybody out here that's listening, y'all can come at

125
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: me all you want to, I am a realist. Okay,

126
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: don't do it. There's a great poet by the name

127
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: of Andre three thousand. He said, don't do it, reconsider,

128
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: don't do it. Suck love it. I love it. So wait,

129
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: you got Julio Bob Hopkins best receiver in the leagues? Yes, yeah,

130
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: I would approach you too, just because just because it

131
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: was like Megatron in his day, there's just nobody that

132
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: can match up with him now. To play Devil's advocate,

133
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: and I'm not agreeing with Kyle, but I'm just playing

134
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: that Cable's advocate here. Tyon Treybond Diggs is six two,

135
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: and he's drafted to be a guy that eventually, eventually

136
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: can maybe match up with some of those larger receivers

137
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: in the league. But yeah, we two today. Yeah, today,

138
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: that might be a Cheeto matchup for me, Thank you

139
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: very much. You put Cheeto on them, You put Cheeto

140
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: on them, and you give Cheeto help, just like you

141
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: give everybody else help, you know what I mean, Just

142
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: like everybody else gives help whenever they play against Hulo

143
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: and you take your chances, you roll your dice against

144
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: Ridley engaged, You try your best to eliminate their number

145
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: one resource. You take him out the game, and you

146
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: trust that you have enough talent on that side of

147
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: the ball to handle everybody else that they have on

148
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: their roster. But you do not. You do not let

149
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: their number one beat you, even with help over the top.

150
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: You don't trust your rookie in that situation. I say, no, no,

151
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: not against Julio. See look just just look at it.

152
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: Last week. What do you do last week? I thought? Okay,

153
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: I mean, but still that that's who who digs are

154
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: Julio Julio Julio. Okay, yeah, Julio is fantastic. Yeah, that's yeah,

155
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: that happened. At some point. Where do you when you're

156
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: I guess, when you're strategizing for this, do you say,

157
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: all right, Julio is gonna get his, but not everybody else?

158
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: Is that the moond state going into a game like this, No,

159
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: you go, you go the opposite. You ensure that Julio

160
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: does not get his, and you trust that that you're

161
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: that your other guys on your depth chart can handle

162
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: the rest of their lineup. I would much rather lose

163
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: to Ridley Engage going off than Julio going off. That's

164
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: just that's just how it goes. Right. You trust that

165
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: your defensive line is gonna handle Girly in the backfield.

166
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: You trust that your dbs in your in your scheme

167
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: right where Mike Nolan is gonna handle Julio. Now, guess what,

168
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: Jordan lewis you figure out how to handle Gauge whoever

169
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: else step up up and you handle Ridley and we

170
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: roll the dice and we go to work. Right, that's

171
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: what you want to do. You do not want to

172
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: give this guy an opportunity to get going, because it's

173
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: not just Julio Jones. You still have Maddie Ice placing

174
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: the ball in the exact spots for only Julio to

175
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: catch the ball. So let's not just think about it.

176
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: It's just receivers out there running rounds on dbs. It's

177
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: also a matter of the quarterbacks throwing them open when

178
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: they they maybe not be open. Apparently. Remember, heck, it's

179
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: not a Chrysler here. We're not deal with just no, no, no,

180
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: I know exactly the one that we're talking about. And

181
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying from a schematic standpoint. Would it

182
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: be better that we say, look, we're gonna obviously double

183
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: this guy. We're not gonna send someone out there to

184
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: dive a thousand paper cuts against him. It's gonna be

185
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: a situation where we double him. But at the same time,

186
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: these other guys I believe are manageable. If we're gonna

187
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: go a Woozier against Jones and then go with Trey

188
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: digs against Ridley and engage with our nickel corner, I

189
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: trust that. I trust that. But at the same time,

190
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: it's just a give and take. It's gonna be a

191
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: situation where, you know, a veteran receiver like Julio, you

192
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: can't just put the clamps on him and shut him

193
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: down completely. He's too good, his game's too good. So uh,

194
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: that's that's just you know, my my feeling on it

195
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: is that that's the approach that we have to have

196
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: going into this Sunday. And if you miss, guys encouraged

197
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: by what Diggs did in a week one? Sorry, Kyle, Yeah,

198
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: I mean I'm encouraged by it. What's the question? What'd

199
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: you say? Well? I'm sorry? Were you guys encouraged by

200
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: the way Diggs plays? What played what he did in

201
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: week one? Because I was, I mean, if he were

202
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: three inches toler he might have had a pick. Yeah,

203
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: And I thought and I thought he battled. You know,

204
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: but the way the way the RAMS scheme things up,

205
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, nobody could. Yeah, I mean they're all

206
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: over the place. I mean, but but going but going

207
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: into this week, Rob like Dives had a good a

208
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: good week one. Why would you take his confidence down? Right?

209
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: Don't take his confidence down? Build his confidence. Put him

210
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: out there on Ridley. Okay, listen up. You did a

211
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: good job of this past weekend. Yeah, let's go ahead

212
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 1: and step it up. Now you're sticking Ridley right now,

213
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: that's your responsibility. Don't put that on a Ricky handle, Julio.

214
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any team in the league. I

215
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: don't care what Ricky it is. It's gonna put Ricky

216
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: on Julio. Okay, it's not gonna happen. Okay, it's just

217
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: not smart going off of that. By the way, for

218
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: those of you listening, if you haven't checked out Wednesday's episode,

219
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: we talked a lot about cars. We talked about Bentley's

220
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: and Chrysler's and how Julio's the Lamborghini of the group.

221
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. So, Isaiah, if you're not willing

222
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: to take that fresh car straight off the lot, driving

223
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,359
Speaker 1: it straight off the lot to go race to the Lamborghini,

224
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: would you be more willing to throw a classic car

225
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: on there? What about branding car is what I'm talking

226
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 1: about whenever you're talking about specifically putting a veteran out

227
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: there to maybe cover Julio Jones. Yes, absolutely, I'll put

228
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: a branded car on Julio and give him help. I would, Honestly.

229
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: It's not just our dvs that have their job cutout

230
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: for him, right obviously our defensive coordinator only he has

231
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: to figure it out. And I would, personally, if I

232
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: was a decordinator, I would put to cover two men

233
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: on that side of the field wherever to hit Julio's at.

234
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit at defense a bat on his inside

235
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: shoulder to get closest to the ball. I'm gonna have

236
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: that guy turn his back to the inside of the

237
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: field or turn his back to the quarterback. His job

238
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: is simply to force Julio Jones to run any route

239
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: outside right, and then you also have a safety over

240
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: the top that helps it. It It justicates Julio runs by you,

241
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: so you're essentially pinning him and saying all your routes

242
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: can only go in that outside five yards outside the

243
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: outside the hash marks, outside the numbers, and to the sideline.

244
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: That's where all your routes could be ran. And that's

245
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: all we're gonna allow for you to do. If you

246
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: come inside, we have help. If you run by us,

247
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: we have help. And you eliminate him out the game

248
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: and just limit him to just those routes. Everybody else

249
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: go play ball, and you expect you, We're expecting our

250
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: defensive line to come back and have a heck of

251
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: a response to they're lack thereof this past week. I

252
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: know that's that, and that's and that is the key,

253
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: because if you're talking about Julio Jones on you know,

254
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: out routes and all that, Mattie Ice is gonna Matt

255
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: Ryan is gonna have to have time to do that

256
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: and go through his progression. So the line has to

257
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: get pressure this week. They have to last week. Man,

258
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: just look be smarter. Just if you looked at the game,

259
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: you realize, Man, everything that golf was doing was quick throws,

260
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: those little five yard Deacon dunk and those guys were

261
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: taking it the rest of the way. And I think

262
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: that any quarterback in the NFL would like to throw

263
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: a five yard pass and see it go for thirty yards.

264
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: So we definitely have to stop that. Rob. Is there

265
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: a chance that we see a lot of Brandon car

266
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: because of this then in his first week back, even

267
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: though it really hasn't been that long since he was

268
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: actually plucked up off of the free agent market. It's

269
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: a great question. I'm not I'm not so sure. I

270
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: think I don't think they wanted to really put him

271
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: out their week one. He didn't have a training camp,

272
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: and I think as a vet, twelve year vet, I

273
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: think he could he could have gone out there and played,

274
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: but I think they wanted to give him another week.

275
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: Maybe he works into a rotation there I mentioned yesterday,

276
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: you know, Zaiah mentioned Hurst the tight end for Atlanta.

277
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: That that's a type of matchup that I think Brandon

278
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: Carr could thrive in. Potentially. I think we saw Darryl

279
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: Worley take the tight end last week, and maybe that's

280
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: something a way he could he could get in and

281
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: get some snaps um. But it's it's such a there's

282
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: so many numbers at this position. I'm not sure exactly

283
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: how they're gonna work them in unless they just make

284
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: a change at safety, which I don't think they're they're

285
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: gonna do week two. And Rob to your point, and Kyle,

286
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: I guess I didn't answer fully answer your question. Uh.

287
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: With car being a twelve year veteran, Right's he's your

288
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: most experienced defensive back that you have now on this

289
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: inside or side of the ball, and he has faced

290
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: more number one receivers than Trevan Dix has ever dreamed of. Right, So,

291
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: the fact that he knows the ins and outs of

292
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: number one receivers, he knows what Julio has done because

293
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: he's faced them before. Right, he knows what these guys's

294
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: schemes are. He is so much more prepared to handle

295
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: a situation such as this, which is I'm gonna go

296
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: ahead and say it. This is a must win game

297
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, must win all right, You're right, because

298
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: because you're going to Seattle next week, right, so this

299
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: is must week win, must week, must win week for

300
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. And I know it sounds silly going to

301
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: the week two. We have some some teams that we

302
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: can definitely scrape up going past that, but these first

303
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: three games are important, so you cannot afford to miss

304
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: on this opportunity. And if we were to come back

305
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: next week on Monday and talk about, oh, Julio Jones

306
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: went off for one hundred and seventy five yards because

307
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: we decided to let him just do what he does,

308
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: we will be a very, very sick as Cowboys nation.

309
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: So would you consider you know, the talk has been

310
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, Brandon Carr comes in, maybe helps the numbers

311
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: at safety, would you consider playing him at corner potential.

312
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: I'll put him right on Julio. Okay, I'll put him

313
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: right on Holi because there's nothing that Julio is going

314
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: to do that that car has not seen. Right now,

315
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: can he fully adjust and cover him? Nobody can cover Julio,

316
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: So you're not losing anything there. But in terms of schemes,

317
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: in terms of making sure that other dbs know what's

318
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: going on, in terms of seeing things on the field,

319
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: of combination routes and being able to help guys be

320
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: prepared for what's coming. Car is the most prepared person

321
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: aside from Worthy. It's the same team that had three

322
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: hundred yards receivers and lost about thirteen last year. That's true.

323
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: That's a very good point, very good point. Just because

324
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: these receivers are having success doesn't mean the team has success.

325
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: If you can put up points as well, which we

326
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: know the Cowboys can do, it could pay dividends for

327
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: them moving forward. Now we're going to talk about that

328
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys side of the football offense versus defense. Is Kellen

329
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: Moore going to get more creative with his play calling?

330
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about it next here on talking Cowboys.

Speaker 1: you're with us? Here on Dallas Cowboys dot com. We're

365
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: breaking down the Atlanta defense versus that Dallas Cowboys high

366
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: flying offense that only put up seventeen points in Week one. Boat,

367
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna get past that and we're gonna talk about

368
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: how they can get better in week two. Isaiah standback,

369
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: heck My Harrison, Rob Phillips, I'm Kyle Yeoman's and guys

370
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: like I said, there were some disappointment around this offense.

371
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: Uh play calling, offensive wine, not really getting your playmakers

372
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: the football in space. There were quite a few different

373
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: things that could have been upgraded from a Cowboys perspective,

374
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: but Heck, we're gonna start with you. What was the

375
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: number one thing in week one that has to improve

376
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: going into week two? Third down efficiency. We have to

377
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: get better on third down. That's uh. And I'm sure

378
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: you know Dak Prescott that's on his mind because that's

379
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback stat. And it just felt as though, and

380
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: let me just back up here a little bit. I

381
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: realized we had those penalties that just sty me those

382
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: drives and when we were still in momentum, but we

383
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: were awful on third down, and we have to get

384
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: better in this game. Rob, Yeah, totally agree. I agree

385
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: with you. Heck, I think that third down efficiency. I mean,

386
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't give yourself a chance to win

387
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: ball games if you only convert twenty five percent of

388
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: your third downs. Just just just not not set up for

389
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: success unless you're just making big plays all the time.

390
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: But I I think that we have to control the

391
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. I don't if we don't, if our

392
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: office a line doesn't control the line of scrimmage, then

393
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: we have zero chance. Obviously, there is a disruptorum, the

394
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: best disruptor in the league right now. Um, in terms

395
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: of with the Rams last week and with with Aaron Donald.

396
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: But you know, aside from a physical specimen of a

397
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: force like that, we don't face that this week. But collectively,

398
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: I think that the Atlanta's defensive line plays better as

399
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: a whole in their in their scheme that they play,

400
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: So we don't have to worry about just one person.

401
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: You have to worry about two or three people now

402
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: because of the scheme that they play. Um behind these

403
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: guys and as much movement as they have on this

404
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: D line, So they we have some work cut out

405
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: for us that we have to show up this week

406
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: or the otherwise there's no chance. Yeah, you're right, I

407
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: mean Tack McKinley, Dante Fowler. They had some success up

408
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: front in Week one. It's just there are some some

409
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: busted plays on the back end for Atlanta in Week one.

410
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: I think that's that was a big thing for I

411
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: mean that game was a two point game at halftime

412
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: and they kind of got blown open. I'll take it

413
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: a step further from third down and say red zone.

414
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: And I wrote about this yesterday. It's just when the

415
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 1: Cowboys have not been able to convert inside the twenty consistently,

416
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: they lose games. They were one in seven in games

417
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: last year when they converted it fifty percent or less,

418
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: and they were at fifty percent on Sunday night and

419
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: they lost. So it's one in eight. Going back to

420
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: last year, they just you know, they pile up yards,

421
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, three hundred and eighty yards, almost four hundred yards.

422
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: They would have been well over that if that gallop

423
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: play counted, and yet they're not matching that with the points.

424
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: So that's the biggest thing to me. They've just got

425
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: to find a way that ceedee lamb play. They've got

426
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: to be able to cash in. Yeah, I think I

427
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: would be right there with Heckma whenever he's talking about

428
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: the Linus grimmage and Rob you're mentioning it as well.

429
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: But you have to be able to control the attack.

430
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: McKinley's the Grady Jarretts of the world. These are two

431
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: top level edge rushers. They're not necessarily the household names

432
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: like an Aaron Donald, but they're both ascending players, and

433
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: they're both guys that got to the quarterback in Week

434
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: one against Seattle and the Russell Wilson offense. But if

435
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: this is going to be another game where Terrence Steele

436
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: is starting at right tackle, are you worried Rob about

437
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: potentially having problems over there at right tackle. I know

438
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: we kind of talked about this a little bit yesterday,

439
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: But in watching the film and looking at what Terrence

440
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: Steel did, he stood up for the majority of the

441
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: plays against that Los Angeles Rams defensive line. But is

442
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: he able to do it two weeks in a row,

443
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: That's the big question. I'm with you. I thought he

444
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: battled in the game, and you know, it wasn't really

445
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: until I think the Leonard Floyd stack late where it

446
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: really showed up. You know. I mean, you know he

447
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: had some trouble during the game. They all did because

448
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald was everywhere and he was pushing three guys

449
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: around at times. But I think for his first time out,

450
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: you know, there was definitely some progress there. But yeah,

451
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: it's something you've got to be mindful of. We talked

452
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: about yesterday. You may need some help, some chip help,

453
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: whether it's a running back at tied end, somebody on

454
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: that side. So you know, we'll see what happens, and

455
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: it's definitely something to watch because, like I said, and

456
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: like Isaiah said, they have guys who can get to

457
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback. You know, it's just I think as they

458
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: fell behind in the game, it was harder to probably

459
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: get on get pressure on Russ as the game went

460
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: on on last Sunday. Now, Isaiah, I know you actually

461
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: were on the Seahawks roster back in twenty ten whenever

462
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: dan Quinn was the defensive line coach. Any stories that

463
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: kind of stick out from your time there and what

464
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: you remember about dan Quinn. Now, of course he ended

465
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: up becoming the defensive coordinator, and now he's the head coach.

466
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: He's been the head coach for quite some time. But

467
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: what's stuck out to you a decade ago Whenever it

468
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: comes to dan Quinn, Queen likes to have fun. He's

469
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: a high energy coach who wants to get in your face.

470
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: Obviously he's passed off his defensive coordinator duties over to

471
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: over to what Raheim Raheem Morris and but the aggressive right,

472
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: they're both aggressive. I mean these dudes, these dudes got

473
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: some juice in them now, both of them. So you

474
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: can see that in last week's game against Seattle, where

475
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna have to beat man coverage, you know,

476
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: so there's there's there's pros, and there's conser that this

477
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: defensive line is collectively better than what we face last week,

478
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: and they can get pressure up the field, but it

479
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: actually hurt them last week and get Seattle as well

480
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: because guys were able to beat man coverage and make

481
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: some plays. So, um, you know we're gonna have to

482
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: figure it out on the on the offensive line side

483
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,479
Speaker 1: of things, because Quinn is gonna bring the pressure. He's

484
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: gonna bring pressure, he's gonna step up in your face

485
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: with his DBS, and he's gonna challenge Cooper. He's not

486
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: threatened by any of these guys that we have. He's

487
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: not threatened by Cooper. He's not threatened by Gallup. He's

488
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: definitely not He's definitely not threatened by Ceedee Lamb until

489
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: he shows them some more. So, these guys are gonna

490
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: get up in your face. They're gonna put hands on

491
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: your the line of scrimmage, and they're gonna trust that

492
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: their front four can get to your quarterback before you

493
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to break open as a receiver. Um. So,

494
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: if we can block it up, if we can block

495
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 1: it up and these and our receivers can beat man coverage,

496
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: then we're gonna have an opportunity of some big plays.

497
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: Don't really see him. I really don't see us chipping away,

498
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: you know, just moving the sticks. I think that this game,

499
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: if we're gonna have success in this game, I think

500
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna have to come into former big plays and

501
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna require his office in line blocking up this

502
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: front four heckma, Well, hey, well, you know, I don't

503
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: know Dan Quinn personally, so I don't have any stories

504
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: for you Quinn, but I can just go based off

505
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: of what I know about. The defense is and Roddy

506
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: Morrison again another very aggressive defensive coordinator as well. But

507
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: Tach McKinley last week has six quarterback hits, which was

508
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: tops in the NFL. And they also get Dante Fowler

509
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: from the Rams, who had a twelve sacks last year,

510
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: so they have some guys that can hunt. But it's

511
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: there a guy Grady Jared. If we're gonna do a

512
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: comparison between and we're gonna seems like we're gonna talk

513
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: about Aaron Donald every week because he pressed the heck

514
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: out of us. But Grady Jared's he's that high energy

515
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: guy man. He is so strong at the point of attack.

516
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: His hands and feet work together he's ripping guys and

517
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: getting to the quarterback. He's a run stuffer. That's what

518
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: he specializes in. And when you look at his numbers

519
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: in comparison to Aaron Donald, he's right there. As far

520
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,239
Speaker 1: as the statistics. I'm not calling him Aaron Donald. I'm

521
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: just talking about the numbers. But when you talk about

522
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: when you talk about the one on one matchups, and

523
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: that's where I think the rubber meets the roll for

524
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, because if you're gonna give our receivers one

525
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: on one on the outside, specifically especially of Mary Cooper,

526
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: I'll take that. But also there's another matchup that I

527
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: think is really gonna be interesting. Dean Jones for the

528
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. Out of LSU six one two and twenty

529
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: five pounds. Very aggressive linebacker, but he plays more like

530
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: a rover. He's gonna get one on one opportunities with

531
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott in the passing game, and that's where I

532
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: feel like we can exploit them. But guys, we have

533
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: to play bullyball. We have to play bullyball, and we

534
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: have to run this ball. Title possession is going to

535
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: be very important because the best defender that we have

536
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: Julio Jones is the bench and Gatorade. Yeah, I love it. Yeah,

537
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: you're not wrong. Just to piggyback too on that, sorry, Kyle,

538
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: on that. Um, you know, winning those man coverage battles,

539
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf blew the game open for Seattle. So he

540
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:18,959
Speaker 1: beat them. He beat the jam. It wasn't a good

541
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: enough jam from Isaiah Oliver and he was gone thirty

542
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: eight yards touchdown. And that's that's the thing. You want

543
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: to play man coverage. The Cowboys have three guys who

544
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: can win on any given down. So that was that

545
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: was on fourth down, by the way, to Row, that's right,

546
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: fourth down play. You think you have them, So you

547
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: know the Cowboys, there's gonna be some opportunities. By the way,

548
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: the Falcons have a have a rookie cornerback as well.

549
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: They're gonna play a lot. So how you know which

550
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: which secondary can be more consistent. That's a big one.

551
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: And like you guys said to controlling the line of scrimmage. Okay,

552
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: So now that we've kind of talked about the defensive

553
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: sign for for an Atlanta team that needs some help defensively,

554
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, they gave up thirty eight points

555
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: and really I had a bit of yardage as well

556
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: there last week, three and twenty two passing yards along

557
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: with eighty four rushing yards. They were good on the ground,

558
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 1: but through the air, Russell Wilson really kind of tore

559
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: them apart. Now, offensively for the Cowboys, we mentioned that

560
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: the offensive line has to get better, but really a

561
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: lot of the conversation this week has been centered around

562
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore and the play calling. It seemed like it

563
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,719
Speaker 1: was back to the conservative side of things that we

564
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: really saw at the end of last year, and that's

565
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: what was really frustrating for a lot of Cowboys fans.

566
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: But Rob, when you look at this play calling and

567
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: really the the entire body of work for Kellen Moore,

568
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: is there something that's concerning with you or is this

569
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: just really the way things were against a team last

570
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: week that was destroying you on the offensive line. I'm

571
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: not as concerned with it as some people are. I

572
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: think I think yeah, I think maybe there was a

573
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: little bit of surprise. They didn't have as much pre

574
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: snap motion, some different looks pre snap Maybe some of

575
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: it had to do with the fact that you're playing

576
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: a defense you're not really sure what you're getting from them.

577
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: There's there's no there's no tape on them, so maybe

578
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: it'll change as the weeks go on. I do think

579
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: you have to remember the way that the Rams played

580
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: their safeties back. That affects your ability to go down

581
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: the field, or at least you have to make adjustments

582
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: off of that. You have a rookie right tackle that

583
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: you want to protect, and so I know there's I

584
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: know there's been complaints about, you know, running too much

585
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: on first down. I think they try to be balanced

586
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: to help out their line, you know, and get some

587
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: balance established there. So I'm not that concerned about the

588
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: biggest thing for me is the yardage is there. They

589
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: got to finish drives and finish third downs because I

590
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: think they're able to pile up yards, it's turning it

591
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: into points. It's the biggest thing. And Rob just to

592
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: get Just to give a little bit more background for

593
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: those that are listening out there, this isn't just a hey,

594
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: m pick up play and we're just gonna run it. Yeah,

595
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,719
Speaker 1: That's not how it goes on office, right. There's so

596
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: much work that goes into this on the back end.

597
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,479
Speaker 1: These offensive coordinators, these defensive coordinators, are playing chess games.

598
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: Is literally they played. They played thirty games in their

599
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: head before four Sunday ever shows up. So I can

600
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: tell you for like a Kellen Moore, you know, there's

601
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: probably three hundred, three hundred plays that he has on

602
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: that call sheet. Every play is broken down to this

603
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: is a first down call, This is a first and

604
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: five call, This is a you know whatever our first

605
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: and tam call. This is a first and long call.

606
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: These things are so broken down. The statistics are so

607
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: so fine or minute. It's crazy if you guys were

608
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: ever to see it on the back end, because there's

609
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: so much data and those are the things that are

610
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: going through their head. On third down, they blit sixty

611
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: seven percent at a time, but if we bring an

612
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: eleven personnel, it drops down to thirty percent. Right, So

613
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: there's so many things that they're literally going back and

614
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: forthood within themselves, but before ever calling a play, and

615
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: then once they call that play, now all of a sudden,

616
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: we can't be aggressive because if we don't secure the

617
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: interior line of the scrimmage, we don't have time for

618
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: Dak to sit back and throw some of these deeper

619
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: routes and be more aggressive so I understand people, Kellen

620
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: Moore is really good. These guys have to take care

621
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: of the things up front. Until your point, Rob, it

622
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: was a first week without a preseason seeing this with

623
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: that defensive coordinator was going to do, so he had

624
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,239
Speaker 1: no idea right what the heck was going on. So

625
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: some of that conservativeness came from, Hey, let me sit

626
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: and watch. Let me get a beat on this defensive coordinator.

627
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: Let me see what his schemes are, let me see

628
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: where his tendencies are, so then I can start trying

629
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: to figure it out. But they just never got their

630
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: feet underneath them. So I said, do you mean that

631
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: they are not drawing up these plays in the dirt?

632
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. Hey also as that's good man, But I

633
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: think everyone was. I guess, I guess the complaint last week,

634
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: well Monday morning was we didn't see the creative plays

635
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: that we had been waiting for, and it was this

636
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: whole mystery what is the offense gonna look like? And

637
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought that it was black luster.

638
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: For me, when I looked at I saw the offense

639
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: try to get that motion. I saw the sprint option

640
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: plays as well, that that made a lot of sense.

641
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,959
Speaker 1: When you look at what the Rams were doing then,

642
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: they just had so many different formations in comparison to

643
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: what we were doing in the having personnel the majority

644
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: of the time that it looked like we were not

645
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: being creative. But I think the word for creative needs

646
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: to be substituted with explosive. We're just looking for more

647
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: explosive plays and it's gonna be all about the matchups.

648
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: I would give some credence to what you said about

649
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: not knowing what the defensive coordinator was gonna do last week,

650
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: only too so much, right, because we knew what we

651
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: were going to do and they had to beat us

652
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: at what we do best. We just have to find

653
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: that balance, man, finding balance in our play calling and

654
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: making sure that look we stay ahead of the sticks

655
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: and just look for the matchup nightmares. And I think

656
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: a matchup nightmare for Atlanta it's gonna be Cedee Lamb

657
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: versus Denard. I can't say his first name, but he

658
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: is there. He's there, Nickel guy. I mean, he had

659
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: ten interceptions since twenty eighteen. But I think that's gonna

660
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: be a matchup that we could take advantage of with

661
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: our rookie. Yeah, there's some weaknesses back there, and I

662
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys are going to look to try and

663
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: exploit some of those, much like how the Seahawks did

664
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: in Week one, and hopefully it leads to more success

665
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: on the offensive side. I don't think there's any reason

666
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: the panic whenever it comes to Callen Moore in the

667
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: play calling. It's week one, you have such a small

668
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: sample size. Let's not be so quick to saying this

669
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: coaching staff is the last coaching staff. It's a new era.

670
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: Things are going to turn around, and I got a

671
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: staff for you. This will come out later in the

672
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: week on Big Fat Big Facts on Dallas Cowboys dot com.

673
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: But Mike McCarthy after a season opening loss is three

674
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: and one. The only time he didn't win after a

675
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: season opening loss was his first year as a head coach.

676
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: He's won the last three times after opening the season

677
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: on the wrong side of things. So hopefully that gives

678
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: you a little bit more rest. Hopefully he can help

679
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: turn these things around and get back to even five hundred.

680
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: But with that being said, when we come back, is

681
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: this old must win for the Dallas Cowboys. Isaiah already

682
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: said it was. I'm not so sure. We're going to

683
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: debate about it when we come back. You're on Talking Cowboys.

Speaker 1: Final segment here of talking Cowboys, Kyle Yeoman's heck Ma Harrison,

723
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,479
Speaker 1: Isaiah standback and Rob Phillips has a stat for us

724
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: because I don't think this is a must win game

725
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: based off of the fact that your division is still

726
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 1: pretty weak. Whenever you talk about the Washington football team,

727
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles want to know, the New York Giants, Yeah,

728
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: they are want to know, but it's because they played

729
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:45,720
Speaker 1: the Eagles who had no offensive line. So Isaiah already

730
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: said it's a must win. Rob, are you with him

731
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:52,919
Speaker 1: in that regard? And what is your stat? Yeah, I'm

732
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: with Isaiah because it's pretty it's pretty damn close to

733
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 1: must win based on the numbers. Based on the numbers

734
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: according to USA USA Today since nineteen ninety the team

735
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: since that was when the league expanded the playoff field

736
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: to twelve teams, twelve point six percent of teams that

737
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: have started O and two have actually rebounded to make

738
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs. That is not a good percentage, and that

739
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: means that it's it's about as close to must win

740
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: as it gets. Now. Could they rebound, sure, but you

741
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: don't want to be on the wrong side of history. Guys. So, Rob,

742
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: so you're saying you don't want to go to Seattle

743
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: ONEN two, I definitely don't want to go to Seattle

744
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: O two and neither do I. I'm not saying I

745
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: want any of that, Isaiah. I mean I'm waiting for

746
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: your bottle here. I mean, that's all I was saying.

747
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 1: There was no rebuttal So what Rob said, I listen here.

748
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have absolutely everything that they need to have

749
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: a heck of a season. That first game, as bad

750
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: as we failed that we played, or as we did

751
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: not execute the way which we needed to correct, but

752
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: we were still in a great position to steal a game.

753
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: We still sort of stall that game, right, But we

754
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: did it right. So we're on one all right. So

755
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: on one now we have the Atlanta Falcons coming in,

756
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: who are respectable on defense, right, probably more of a

757
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: threat on defense than the team we just faced, right,

758
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: and we didn't do too well for them. And but

759
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: but there's gonna be a great opportunity for big plays

760
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: because of a man coverage and because of their their

761
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: their chances of blitzing and taking risks. Right. But but

762
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: then you know, on the other side of the ball,

763
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: you know what do we do right, What do we

764
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: do in terms of stopping Julio and all these other

765
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: highly acclaimed veterans. So we're gonna see, right, but if

766
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: it should we fall, right, obviously we all hope they win.

767
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: But should we fall, you were going into the Seattle Seahawks,

768
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: who were looking like muy Glliente. They have all their

769
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: pieces for the most part, that they've had over past

770
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: years that have made them a pretty dug on good team,

771
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: and they actually have gotten better because they have probably

772
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: the best safety duo in the league. And we're going

773
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: into their home. Oh and two particularly, it's not what

774
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: you want to do. It's just saying it's not what

775
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: you want to do. So you heard the statistics of

776
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: going on to your chance to come back to the playoffs.

777
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: And Kyle, I heard you talking about how the Washington

778
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: this is not the Washington of the old. They got

779
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: a heck of a defensive line over there, you got

780
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: a great defensive line. I'm not necessarily sold on the

781
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: rest of their team, now, that's the thing. Yeah, But

782
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: but was anybody sold on the forty nine ers until

783
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: about week four of last year? But there's a little different.

784
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: Always a team that that Why is it that went

785
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: because of Washington football team offense? And come on, man,

786
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: it's not even comparable, not with probably right, but let's

787
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: wait and see I just below and now that's yeah.

788
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: Confidence is a heck of a tool. That's all I'm

789
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 1: gonna saying. Let me let me say this, guys, what

790
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: we did not do with seeing Happy birthday to the NFL.

791
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: It's the hundredth birthday. Are fifteen guys met met in Canton.

792
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: This is the reason why we're here. I just wanted

793
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: to pres stay tactic is with this. Yeah he is

794
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: the guys, Come on, come on, that's what question. Yeah,

795
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to hear this. I said it last week. Yeah,

796
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: I said it last week. There's a real chance right now.

797
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that this is a for sure thing,

798
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: but there is a real chance that the Cowboys can

799
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 1: start this year and three if they don't strap up tomorrow,

800
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: I mean on Sunday. I'm sure there's a stat for

801
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: that as well. A team that start away get to

802
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: the postseason. So what is that, Rob, I'm sure you

803
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: got that hand. You just pulled that one out, so

804
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure you got another SNA I don't. I don't

805
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 1: have that one in Look, twelve point six percent. It's

806
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: not it's not the end, it's not zero percent, but

807
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: it's not great. I could hear the stress in your

808
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: voice though, when when Isaiah was talking about Seattle, you

809
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: made a oh boy three Because every every week, man

810
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,479
Speaker 1: Isaiah puts his facts together, and that's what he does.

811
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: He bogged you down with his words and the facts,

812
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: and it makes you like, wait, second, guess what you had.

813
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let him do that to me because

814
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 1: he building the other teams up so big that you're like,

815
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: oh my god, that guys an It's like, come on,

816
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: I just don't feel that way about my team. But

817
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: if we're talking about a must win game, I'm I'm

818
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: gonna agree with you. Guys. We have to win. This

819
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: is a must win game because the last thing we

820
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: want on Monday it's for the sky to be falling,

821
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 1: and we want to get rid of it, get rid

822
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: of everybody. I'm telling you right now, Atlanta is always

823
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna have fried Bird at twelve o'clock. Oh oh

824
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: my gosh. Um, by the way, are fantastic. I don't.

825
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: I don't think so. But it's a I would say

826
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: it's an extremely important game and you you need to

827
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: win it, but it's not a must win. It's not

828
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: one of those if we if we start owing two,

829
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: you're not making the playoffs. That's what I consider a

830
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: must win. I mean, yeah, that's that's not a playoff game,

831
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: exact playoff game completely, it's but it's big. It's twelve

832
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: point six big now, Okay. Based off of the twelve

833
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 1: point six, our fantastic producer in the back, Chris Beam,

834
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: gave us the stat of oh and three teams two. Apparently,

835
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 1: only six teams since nineteen eighty have actually reached the

836
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: playoffs when starting oh and three. Here's the thing, though,

837
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys last year, if you remember, started three and

838
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: oh and missed the playoffs. So wouldn't it only be

839
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: right to flip that script and go oh and three

840
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: and then make the playoffs. I'm just I'm trying for

841
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: good carma here. That'll do. Don't do that. That's I'm

842
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 1: looking for a good carm it count it just it

843
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: just give a little bit more back into the reason

844
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: why I say it is a must Winky guess the

845
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: division sucks a little bit, Okay, but these guys are

846
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: getting better, all right, But we're also a guy. We

847
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: have to face the forty nine ers this year, the

848
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens yea, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Arizona Carlos who

849
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,879
Speaker 1: looked like a dog on old school Saint Louis team

850
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: with all their weapons they have. Right now, there's some

851
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: games on the schedule, so we need to get off

852
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: to a quick start and get these ws early so

853
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: that you can account for mistakes later on. Yeah, I mean,

854
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 1: not a schedule, but it sure feels like one. Yeah,

855
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. It'll be tough for the Cowboys, especially

856
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: if they fall this week. We will give our predictions tomorrow,
