Speaker 1: season sixteen, episode number forty nine. Welcome to the latest

9
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: edition of The Break. I'm Derek Eagleton. I'm lifing s

10
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: WBC Morey Studios. At the start, I got Nick Amber

11
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: and Dave with me, and we're joined as we are

12
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: every Wednesday and Thursday, by Bucky Brooks of NFL Network. Bucky, Today,

13
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: we get to talk about the Washington football teams defense

14
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: versus the Cowboys offense. Looks like teams don't even really

15
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: try to throw much against this Washington defense. And my

16
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: question for you is that because this pass rush is

17
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: just that good, or there really just some some real

18
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: deficiencies in the running game that teams are finding more

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: more easy to kind of exploit. This defense is loaded

20
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: with pass rushers, Dave invested heavily in the defensive line

21
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: and is paying dividends. They have five former first rounders

22
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: on their defensive front. Chase Young, Monte Sweat to Run Payne,

23
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: Jonathan Allen, and Ryan Carrigan comes off the bench, and

24
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: they absolutely can get after using a four man rush

25
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: and max coverage in the back end. This is how

26
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: Jack del Rio wants to play. It's how he played

27
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: when he was at Carolina, when I was there as

28
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: a scout. That's what he wants to do. And so

29
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: they wanted to put the onus on the offense to

30
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: drive the ball to length of the field without the

31
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: quarterback making turnovers. And they're banking that your quarterback will

32
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: make a mistake, he will force the ball down the

33
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: field or the rush would just overwhelm them to the

34
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: point that he throws up a pass and air and

35
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: pass under the rest. And so that's how it works. Yes,

36
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: teams are being able to move the football and run

37
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: the football and do those things, but when they've been

38
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: able to control the game, meaning their offense doesn't give

39
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: it away, their defense is certainly good enough to win

40
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: it by themselves. Well, in that case, based on the game,

41
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: we just watched from the Cowboys and looking at what

42
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: they were able to do and not do in the

43
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: passing game and the running game. Which side Which of

44
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: the two should the Cowboys try to exploit more the

45
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: running game or the passing game. I think this is

46
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: a game with Dallas has to be very careful. The

47
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: only way that the Cowboys can lose this game is

48
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: they gift the Washington football team easy opportunities in short fields.

49
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: Because offensively, the Washington football team is very challenge in

50
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: terms of coming up with big plays. And so I

51
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: would say maybe a little more conservative game plan, not

52
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: only to protect themselves against turning it over, but also

53
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: to protect the quarterback, the backup quarterback, Andy Dalton. They

54
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: need to try and run it. They have to establish

55
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: the run. They have to be able to control the

56
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: game from a clock management tempo standpoint, and so Zeke

57
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: has to be prominently featured regardless of the fumbling wolves.

58
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: Hopefully he takes care of the football. But I think

59
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: it has to be a running game with some selective

60
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: quick passes. Quick passes them control the game and a

61
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: very ball control standpoint. Bucky, just can they go east

62
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: and west on this team? I mean I know that

63
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: we always say they need to go north, but I

64
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: just don't know if they have the power up front

65
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: on the offensive line being so banged up. Is this

66
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: one where you have to kind of try to spread

67
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: the field on them or they are is watching them

68
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: too fast for it? They're very fast. I mean they're

69
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: fast and athletic front. You can look at their linebackers

70
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: in their linebackers are non notable bull guys k Holkman

71
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: and John Boston. But it doesn't matter because the front

72
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: is so good that you can't even get to the linebackers.

73
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: And the way they play they want you to run

74
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: sideline the sideline because that plays to the strength of

75
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: their team. But their athleticism, particularly upfront, I think you

76
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: have to hit them right up in the face. You

77
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: have to make this a game that is played in

78
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: the phone booth, and you have to see if your

79
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: offensive line, in spite of all the change, is up

80
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: to the task of being able to create some movement

81
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: at the point of attack. It's going to be tough

82
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: sledding for the offense, particularly on the ground, but I

83
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: think it's the only way that you can play against him,

84
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: because you simply do not want Amy Dum to throw

85
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: the ball fifty times against this pass for us and

86
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: against the coverage that they've been able to play successful. Bucky,

87
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna kind of do the same thing

88
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: I did to you yesterday. I mean, I hear where

89
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: you're coming from. The offense needs to play clean, maybe

90
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: play a little bit conservatively so they don't make mistakes.

91
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: But that's what they do. They make a lot of

92
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: mistakes and it's gotten them in a lot of trouble

93
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: over the last month. You know, I know you just

94
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: said you can't worry about Zeke's fumbling problems, and I

95
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: think I agree with you, But I mean, is there

96
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: something they can do to mitigate the risk. Do you

97
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: just say clean it up Zeke and hope he can

98
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: do it, or you know, do you rotate these running backs?

99
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: Is there a certain type of run or maybe the

100
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: screen game that you can get him involved in to

101
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: mitigate that? What do you think? You know the problem

102
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: with that is, in spite of his flaws, I think

103
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: we all will say that Zeke is still the best

104
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: offensive weapon that the Cowboys have, and so you can

105
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: try to avoid the issues, but at some point you

106
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: gotta put the ball in the best the hands of

107
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: your best player and let him go to work. Now

108
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: it's on him to be able to figure it out.

109
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: The funnels five fumbles that he's had this year, for

110
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: those on one hundred and one rushing attempts, that's unacceptable,

111
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: But you're hoping that he can get it corrected. Traditionally,

112
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: he hasn't been a high volume fumbler, even though he

113
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: has twenty in his career. I think you have to

114
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: continue to give it to him. I do like the

115
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: way that Tony Pollard played, but then I think we

116
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: can go back early in the year year he has

117
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: some eras and miskews and things that made you queasy

118
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: about him being on the field, And so right now

119
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of trustworthy guys that you really

120
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: can lean on, and so I would like to think

121
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: that you just hang your head on Zekiel Elliott fixing it.

122
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: But also the quick rhythm passing game. Because they play

123
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: so much zone, it should be an opportunity for us

124
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: to see more slants, quickouts, little things the Cede Lamb

125
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: and Mary Cooper and gallop and maybe those guys can

126
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: break tackles in space. There's a way to attack this

127
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: Washington football team. You just have to be smart in

128
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: the way that you go about doing it. And so

129
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: a mix of the run and the ball control passing

130
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: game should give you opportunities to move the chains and

131
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: move the ball consistently into scoring range where you can't

132
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: score some touchdowns and field goals against this squad. On

133
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: that note, Buckie, the Rams of all the teams that

134
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: the Washington football team have played at their at the

135
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: best day, passing the ball against this Washington football team defense,

136
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: they gained three hundred yards of the air. How were

137
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: they able to be successful? What were some of the

138
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: things that they did, and maybe the Cowboys have the

139
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: capabilities to do that could lead to some of the

140
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: same success. We're one of the Rams married their run

141
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: game with their pass game, the same things that gave

142
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: us issues early the first game of the year, where

143
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: they were running fly sweep action, complimentary play action passes

144
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: down the field. That's where they were able to hit

145
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: the Washington football team with The Cowboys don't operate with

146
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: that kind of dynamic scheming when it comes to their

147
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: running game. But you can put the Washington football team

148
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: in the bond if you're able to create some form

149
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: of concern about the running game. And so however you

150
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 1: get to that running game, whether it's throw early, run later,

151
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: throw on first down, get back to running on second

152
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: and third down, you have to make them make a

153
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: decision that we have to drop LANDA Collins in the box.

154
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: We have to create some one on one situation, some

155
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: single high safety looks, and you have to attack them

156
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: when you get that. You have to use Zeke as

157
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: the threat to make them change the way that they

158
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: played their coverage. And then when you get them in

159
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: those situations, you have to cash in on those opportunities

160
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: when you have one on one on the outside with

161
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: Michael galloping al Maria Cooper. Because as much as I

162
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: made like how Kim the Fuller is playing, Ronald Darby

163
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: and Favorite Moreau are just guys and they've been able

164
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: to protect him by playing this soft zone. If you

165
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: can give them in a situation where they're having to

166
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: play more man to man, are having to play more

167
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: one on one situations, that's when the scales tip to

168
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys when their offense is in control. You talked

169
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: about the pass rush, and then we all know the

170
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: struggles that the Cowboys offensive lines are dealing with currently.

171
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: Last week, I feel that there were instances where I'd

172
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: be watching the offense and seeing Andy Dowton and I'm

173
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: just like comeing in the get out, go run, get

174
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: out of there, go for it, And it didn't happen.

175
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: And I know that the running and his mobility, it's

176
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,719
Speaker 1: not necessarily his strength at quarterback. But is this a

177
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: game where maybe the Cowboys give him a little more

178
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: wiggle room and liberty for him to kind of just

179
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: kind of move around a little more and just and

180
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: not be so static. I mean, like, ideally you would

181
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: think that the veteran would get the ball out of

182
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,599
Speaker 1: his hands he held onto it. Now, some of that

183
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: is rushed because he hadn't played, and as you guys know,

184
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 1: when you're the starting quarterback, you take up all the

185
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: reps where Andy Dalton hadn't gotten those reps, and so

186
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: he is still adjusted. I would expect him to be

187
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: a much better player the second start as opposed to

188
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: his first start, because now he's more comfortable as the starter.

189
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 1: I think this is also a game where Mike McCarthy

190
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: has to have a conversation with Kellen Moore to feature

191
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: the quick game. Make Andy Dalton get the ball out

192
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: of his hands by calling routes dead are quick, try

193
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: to avoid being tempted or I'm gonna take shots. I'm

194
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: gonna go attack this coverage. We're gonna set him up.

195
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: Just let the playmakers work and so Andy, get the

196
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: ball to Mary Cooper and Ceedee Lamb and Michael Gallant

197
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: and let those guys do the work for you. Five

198
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: yard passes via air yards and let those guys break tackles.

199
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: When you look at a Marey Cooper and Ceedee Lamb,

200
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: they can go to work when they have the ball

201
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: in the hands, let them do it. Get it to

202
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: him on the perimeter, and let them do all the

203
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 1: heavy lifting instead of trying to call these deep and

204
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: intricate pass routes where one year old line can't protect

205
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: and to Andy darn is going to be tempted to

206
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: hold onto it waiting for a receiver to uncover. I mean,

207
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: I doubt that, this is my opinion. I doubt Ezekiel

208
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: Elliott fumbles this week. However, do you feel like when

209
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: a guy's trying not to fumble, he's still gonna be

210
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott. I mean, he's just gonna be like two

211
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: hands on the ball. Wait, looking at me like that,

212
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: I'm just listening. Okay, he's not gonna find it's not

213
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: the ball. But is he gonna run? I mean, he's

214
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: gonna get more than five yards doing it. Because everybody's

215
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: talking about the fumbles. He's going back to the lab

216
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: to look at fumbles. I mean, all I'm saying is

217
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: is that he's not going to be a guy that's

218
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: gonna sit there and say eat because he's worried about

219
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: the football all the time. So I mean not Nick. Now, Nick,

220
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: you bring up a good point, because certainly it's going

221
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: to be in his head and it's also going to

222
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: be in the minds of every Washington football team defender.

223
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 1: Because he has put the ball on the ground, and

224
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 1: he's put it on the ground consistently the first part

225
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: of the season. Every defender is going to Pope, Pride

226
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: pool swipe at the ball when he's running it. Now,

227
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: the thing that Zeke has to be able to do

228
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: is he still has to remain an aggressive runner while

229
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: being mindful of the ball. And so what you try

230
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: to do is you try not to over coach him

231
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: when it comes to the fumbling walls. You tell him

232
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: to be mindful when you're in traffic, put two hands

233
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: on it, covered up. Understand, when you're going for extra yards,

234
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: you do put the ball in jeopardy. But you still

235
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: have to let Zeke be Zeke. And so it's that

236
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: fine line where you emphasize it and you touch on it,

237
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: but you don't want to overtalk it because you don't

238
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: want him to be a tenantive player. He has been

239
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: a dominant play, a top five runner because he has

240
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: played a certain style. You have to continue to encourage

241
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: him to play the style while Steel being mofuled of

242
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: just taking care of football. I don't think anybody who

243
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: listens to this show really needs to hear a lot

244
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: about the actual pass rushers on this team, Like Washington's

245
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: given Dallas fits for years, and that was before they

246
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: even had Sweat or Chase Young. But I'm curious. Landon

247
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: Collins strikes me as a very similar type of safety

248
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: to Buddha Baker. And we saw what Buddha Baker was

249
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: able to do the other night, due does Washington? You know,

250
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: are they gonna ask him to do that type of stuff?

251
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: Are we gonna have to worry about him lifting or

252
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,599
Speaker 1: do they trust those you know that front four to

253
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: do it all themselves. Well, when you put put it

254
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: on tape and you see Buddha Baker go crazy, certainly

255
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: Jack del Rio will have to add it to the

256
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: play sheet. He'll have to at least test him to see.

257
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: I was worried if you're gonna say that fixed it,

258
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 1: if they fixed that issue. But I mean, when you

259
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: see the Cardinals have so much success being able to

260
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: dial up pressures from all angles and the confusion with

261
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: an inexperienced offensive line, yeah, you may get some of that.

262
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: That's not their normal emo. They typically don't like to

263
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: dial up pressure because when you dialoup pressure, it exposes

264
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: them in the back end. But I do believe now

265
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: that they've seen a team have success, it will maybe

266
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 1: lead to a couple more blitzers and pressures that you

267
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: may see from the Washington football team, even though it's

268
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: not their normal way of going about doing their business defensively. Yeah,

269
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,599
Speaker 1: even though that's not what they do. I think for

270
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: the next several weeks, we could probably expect the Cowboys

271
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: are going to get a lot of that because this

272
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: offensive line and what they put on tape there against

273
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Final question for you, Bucky, we get to

274
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: the moment of truth. Who wins this game and why?

275
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I think this is a game for Dallas

276
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: to win. I don't think the Washington football team has

277
00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: enough offensive firepower to score unless the Cowboys give it away.

278
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: And so if the Cowboys just can win the turnover battle,

279
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: and I don't even really worry what that looks like

280
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: plus one or whatever, as long as they win the

281
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: turnover battle, they should be in a position to win.

282
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: I think the key to the game really rest on

283
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: Zekiel Elliott and how he approaches it. Is he tentative

284
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: and timid like Nick has been alluding to, or does

285
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: he just play? Because if he plays like Zekiel Elliott,

286
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: he can have success. We have seen him have success

287
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: against his team before. He just has to tote it

288
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: and they have to be confident enough to tote it

289
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: because we know that the recipe for disasters andy Dalton

290
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: throwing the ball fifty times. Zeke has no choice but

291
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: to be good because they have to give him enough

292
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: opportunities to be good, and I think he will and

293
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys should be able to win this game.

294
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be a touchdown a less. I think

295
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: it'd be very similar to the New York Giants game

296
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: Real Quick Bucky as a follow up to that. Do

297
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: you think Zeke is good enough to be able to

298
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: have success even with this offensive line? Yeah? I mean

299
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: it's tough, like normally depended upon your offense some line

300
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: as a runner, but I think he certainly is good enough.

301
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: I think the thing it comes to a commitment not

302
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: only from Zeke, but from the play caller and everyone involved.

303
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: Has Mike McCarthy stood in front of the room and said,

304
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: our path to success is running the football with Zeke Elliott.

305
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: When they have that declaration, that's when you'll see things

306
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: start to change. And I just don't know if they've

307
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: gotten to that point because it's not only Zekiel Ellett

308
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: in the offensive line. Does Kellen Moore know that that

309
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: is the best course for them to be able to win?

310
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: Does he have a clear understanding of how to do it?

311
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: And I think as the losses mount, Mike McCarthy at

312
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: some point has to put a bigger imprint on this

313
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: offense and the way the team is managed. And I

314
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: think we're nearing that point at two and four he

315
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: has to kind of step up with all the criticism

316
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: and the whispers. He has to kind of turn this around,

317
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping that he'll do that. All Right, we

Speaker 1: Let's do it all right? Hold on, Can I say

367
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: something real quick? This has been bothered me for a while,

368
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: definitely this week? All right? Okay, Dave Amber helped me

369
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: on this because I don't really know. Is it Washington

370
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: Football Team? As is that their title? Dallas? That is

371
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: their name? They are the Washington team? Are they the

372
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: Washington Football team? Just like it's Dallas? Are they Washington

373
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: Football Team? Well, it depends on where you look at it.

374
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: Like if you look at it on thost sites where

375
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: they you know where they they they have your name,

376
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: they have your city, and then they have your moniker.

377
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: Then they actually listed as Washington is their city and

378
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: football team. They're annoying. We don't sit there and say,

379
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons do this, the Philadelphia Eagles are this?

380
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: The Washington football team just called Washington like the Washington Dallason.

381
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: That's honestly, that's what I do. Like I've said annoying

382
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: ever since they made the change, I just typically call

383
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: it Washington. I'm just glad it's something different than it was.

384
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: It just seems like it's so cute and fun that

385
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: everyone just loves to say Washington football team, washing football

386
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: team business and then watching football teams, and even Bucky

387
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: said at fourteen times, well you know why I do that? Now?

388
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: You know why I do that is because I've said

389
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: the other name for so many years that mentally I

390
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: have to do that to keep myself from saying the

391
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: other name. So like literally really, as I was driving

392
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: to work Monday of this week, I was thinking to

393
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: myself and I said, probably fifty times, watch the football team.

394
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: Watch the football team. Watch the football team, just because

395
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: I had to get it into my head because I've

396
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: been saying the other name for solo. Yeah, so yeah,

397
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: I said, Well, on the radio the other day, I

398
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: said the red teams over under, and I think I'm

399
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: at two this week. So let's see what happens in

400
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, all right, so let's jump in. Let's

401
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about this Cowboys offense versus

402
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: the Washington football team's defense. One question I have for

403
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 1: you guys about the offense. Can Dallas win playing more

404
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: ball control and scoring twenty points per game if they

405
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: get rid of turnovers? I know Bucky was talking about that.

406
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: He was saying, you know, you want to have the

407
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: quick passing game and combine with your running game. That

408
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 1: may be your way to success. And I think if

409
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: you do that, you're probably gonna not You're not gonna

410
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: be scoring. I don't think as quick and as many

411
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: points as we've seen throughout this year. But the question

412
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: is do they have a defense that's good enough to

413
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: do that if they don't turn it over? Nicko, let's

414
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: go to you first. I think the defense. Obviously, the

415
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: defense is not as bad as as the points they're

416
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: giving up just because of the turnovers. Now, there is

417
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: something to be said of you know, you don't have

418
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 1: to give up a touchdown just because your offense fumbled.

419
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,719
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean you have to go right out there

420
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: and just have a our fault. Might as well just

421
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: give up a touchdown. I mean, you mean, show some

422
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: pride on that part. But I do think, yeah, the

423
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: turnovers would would certainly help, because not only are you

424
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: not turning it over, but like in Zeke's first fumble,

425
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: you're at the forty yard line of the Cardinals. You're

426
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: gonna drive and drive, probably get a field goal, maybe

427
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown, so you know you're it's it could be

428
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: a fourteen point swing if it's seven points out of

429
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: your hand, seven points to them. So yeah, I think

430
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: I don't know about twenty but but I think that,

431
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: you know, it could be that if this offense was

432
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: not turning it over, probably twenty four twenty eight would

433
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: would probably win amber I think. So, I mean that's

434
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: a huge part of it. The defense obviously needs to

435
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: do their part as well. Well. I mean, aside from

436
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: that first game of the week. Aside from that game,

437
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: they've given up thirty plus point every week, so that's huge.

438
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: But again, turnovers don't help. But I absolutely think that

439
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: against Washington, if the offense, the Cowboys offense, is able

440
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: to knock out all their their turnovers, they can definitely

441
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: win that way. Dave number one, I mean against against

442
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: an offense this lifeless. Yes, they can do it. The

443
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: defense can do it against this offense. I mean, you know,

444
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: the Giants scored thirty four. It's really probably more like

445
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: seventeen or twenty if if not for turnovers and mistakes

446
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: by the offense. So it is possible. I don't know

447
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: if we lost Dave there and making his great point,

448
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: but let's do this, let's do this, let's I want

449
00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: to I want to throw out something real quick about

450
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 1: what that point. You were just making compassionate about it too,

451
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: sepoldn't um we have two spots done here. Um No.

452
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: I was saying that, you know they the Cowboys are

453
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: averaging seventy point nine yards on every scoring drive, every

454
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: scoring drive they've had that the average is seventy yards

455
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: per drive. That's doing it the hard way. Yeah, and

456
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: that and that even counts like if you get if

457
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: you get a field goal. I mean, you're only get

458
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: in twenty thirty yards, you know, so it's just the

459
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: yards that you're driving, do you happen to know? And

460
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: the other opponent, the Cowboys opponents are fifty four point one,

461
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: so I mean they they're having I mean you see

462
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: some of these yards for the for the other teams,

463
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: you know, thirty yard drives, the seventeen yard drive, thirty one,

464
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,479
Speaker 1: thirty eight. Cowboys hardly have. They only have two this year.

465
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: They're less than fifty and both of them were field goals,

466
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: so they're not they're not getting any turnovers obviously, any

467
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: big plays on the punt return or anything for short fields.

468
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: And it's like you're right doing it the hard way.

469
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: And and the interesting part about that is you can

470
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: expect to maybe do that to some level of success,

471
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: maybe not winning, but some level of offensive success if

472
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: you've got all your pieces in place. And I'm talking

473
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: particularly about the quarterback. Without that, as we saw last week,

474
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: that is a that is a tough ask with this

475
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: offensive line and Andy having to play a little different,

476
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: Like that's not Andy's game to be able to deal

477
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: with a bad offensive line and make people miss. That's

478
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: not his game. So when you're asking putting him in

479
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: that situation, now you're saying, Okay, every drive you're gonna score,

480
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to go seventy yards. The likelihood of

481
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: you doing that regularly is is probably not that great.

482
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: Dave you back? Am? I am? I back? Yes, you're back.

483
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, y'all. I don't I don't know why this

484
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: only ever happens to me. It's it's you. It sucks

485
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: because I was nice and riled up, like I was, really,

486
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: where'd you lose me? Like? What was the last thing

487
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: I said? Tell you what you were going to say? That?

488
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,479
Speaker 1: Do you trust the offense to actually quit turning over

489
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: the ball? Okay? Exactly? Okay, so yes they can. They

490
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: can hold Washington to twenty points if they don't turn

491
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: over the ball. But why do we think that they won't?

492
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: Why do we think that they won't do it? Like,

493
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: it's not an aberration, it's not a rough patch, it's

494
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: what they've done all year. I will bet any of

495
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: y'all an ice cold Miller light. I mentioned PBR, so

496
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: I want to throw out one of our sponsors instead,

497
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: I will buy you a Miller lighte if Andy Dalton

498
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: does not get strip sacked on Sunday. It is going

499
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: to happen. One of these guys is going to rip

500
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,239
Speaker 1: through this line and hit the crap out of him,

501
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: and the ball's gonna be on the ground. They're going

502
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: to turn the ball over. I refuse to believe that

503
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: they won't until they prove me otherwise. And that's what

504
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 1: that's what troubles me is. Yeah, this Washington offense is putrid,

505
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: like the Dallas defense might actually have a chance against them,

506
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: but they're gonna get some help. I promise you they are.

507
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: You know, one thing, do you trust the I was

508
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,959
Speaker 1: gonna ask, do you trust the cop of the Washington

509
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: offense and our defense to actually be able to Well,

510
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: do you trust the Washington offense to capitalize on those turnovers?

511
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: I mean he goes back to the defense. I mean,

512
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: do you trust the defense enough to actually stop them

513
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: from scoring touchdown suddenly? Well, I mean that's that's hard

514
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: to predict, right because I mean, you know, maybe maybe

515
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: they turn it over on the Washington thirty, or maybe

516
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: they turn over at midfield. But what I mean, you know, Dad,

517
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: there's been a strip sack that sets Seattle up on

518
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: the three yard line. I mean, any offense can score

519
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: if they're inside the five, start to drive or you know,

520
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: or the defense say that Washington is going to get

521
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: seven to ten points off of turnovers. Just based on

522
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: everything we've seen so far this season. You know, I

523
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: think that one thing the Cowboys have got to do

524
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: in this game, and really in a lot of games,

525
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: is they have to throw the ball down the field

526
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: way more. I mean, like even the safeties aren't playing

527
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,719
Speaker 1: that far back and you can spread them all over

528
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: the field. Find your mismatch. Fine, is it Cooper is

529
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: a gallop? Is it CD? Whatever it is. But they

530
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: need to take shots down the field because I said

531
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: this for years. You do that early in the game,

532
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: it's gonna let everybody know what you're trying to do.

533
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: It lets them know if it pushes them back, and

534
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: you can kind of offset. You know, you're getting the

535
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: shotgun three steps block it, Max protect throw the ball

536
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: down field. You have playmakers that can go make plays.

537
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: They can run by people and guess what they throw

538
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: flags in this league for past interference, which in this

539
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: offense you could take it forty yards. You know, Lord

540
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: knows that the Cowboys defense gets called for it. So

541
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm just saying they need to do that. Back off

542
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: the pressure a little bit. But let me ask you this,

543
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: does that work in an instance where you're playing a

544
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: team like the Washington football team that does not necessarily blitz.

545
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: So that means if they're playing they got seven let's

546
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: say they got seven guys back, they're only rushing four.

547
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: They got seven guys back. Even if you max protect,

548
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean you're gonna get it guy open because

549
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: you got three guys in a route and you got

550
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: seven guys defending. Like, how do you how do you

551
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: manage that against a team that doesn't blitz as much? Well?

552
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: And stop? I mean, you know, do it. I mean

553
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: you don't have to. I mean, you don't have to

554
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: run deep if they're gonna play that far over the top.

555
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: But I mean you can find within that group, you

556
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: can find a favorable deep ball. They're not just playing,

557
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: you know, prevent blanket coverage back there. I mean, and

558
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: if not, then then you're tied end. Better get to

559
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: work this week. If that's the case. If they're gonna

560
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: do that and take away your deep ball and only

561
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: rush for then you're tied end. Better work it this week.

562
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 1: With Dalton Schultz. And you know, that's something I think

563
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton would like to do is throw it kind

564
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: of down. But we've seen he's got a nice deep ball.

565
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: These receivers got to go make a play on the ball,

566
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: and I think they can and I think that would

567
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: kind of offset a few things there. Well. I mean,

568
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: I think one of the things they got to consider

569
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: is I think you're right with the tight end, but

570
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: also think they're gonna have to you should we should

571
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: expect to see them flood particular zone. So if you

572
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: got seven guys playing, one way to beat that is

573
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: go to one part of the field and put a

574
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: lot of receivers in that area that with route combinations

575
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: that get a guy open and then get the ball

576
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: to him as quickly as you can. So there are

577
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: ways to do it. I don't know if the deep

578
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: ball is going to be the answer this week. I

579
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: do think though there are ways to be able to

580
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: beat a defense like this. Now is all still as

581
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: predicated on can you stop those four? Because those four

582
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: are gonna be coming and they're better than your five.

583
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: So he even went just five verses four, you're not

584
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: gonna win those matchups. A lot of times this weekend,

585
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: so we'll see how that all plays out. Let's go

586
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:25,719
Speaker 1: ahead and take our final break when we come back.

587
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: I didn't have another question about the offensive line, and

588
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: we also need to catch up on an injury update

589
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,320

Speaker 1: Hey man, we gotta find our fun in this thing.

631
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are two and four. We find some fun

632
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: in here and some reasons to laugh because right now

633
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: the team isn't given us much of though. But what's

634
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: the defense? Fourteen men on the field? Sometimes, I'm sorry

635
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: that ain't funny. All right, let's jump back in. UM,

636
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit more about the

637
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: offensive line if at this point, I think we all

638
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: probably expect that there's a very good likelihood that both

639
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: Knight and Martin will miss this game. So what is

640
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: the best line combination in your opinions? I don't want

641
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: to know necessarily what you think the team will do,

642
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: because I think we all agree they're gonna try to

643
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: minimize movement as much as possible. So cam Urban probably

644
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: is your option to just pop right in there where

645
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: Brandon Knight is and then keep everything else as it

646
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: was last week. But what do you think is the

647
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: best offensive line combination? Let's start first with Dave while

648
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: we have you, Dave woh No, it's totally justified. Um,

649
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: I mean honestly, I don't know at this point, like

650
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: where we are, like who who? Who? Am I to

651
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: even argue that there's a better possibility out there? I mean, Okay,

652
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: cam irvings Is, I assume gonna start left tackles. He's experienced,

653
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: he's done it before. Ye, maybe you try Jordan Mills

654
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: at right tackle. But like when they signed Jordan Mills,

655
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: I heard a lot of people from Chicago and Buffalo, likesh,

656
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: watch out, Dallas, don't start that guy. So it's not

657
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like anybody left is like this

658
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: just badass? You know. Um, maybe you know Greg Sinnott

659
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: was good enough that they wanted to poach him off

660
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: Cleveland's practice squad, like they took him from another team,

661
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: So maybe he's worth a look. But I mean we're

662
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: talking about the bottom of the barrel here. No offense

663
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: to all of these guys. I mean, they're NFL players,

664
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: but you're talking about with all due respect, No, and

665
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: with all due respect, but like you're you're talking about

666
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: like your fourth you're talking about like your fourth option

667
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: at left tackle, your third option at right tackle, your

668
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: fourth option at right guard, your second option at center.

669
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: Like what are they supposed to do? I guess maybe

670
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: I would try to not at right tackle, but we

671
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: know that they really like Terrence Steele, so I don't

672
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 1: think they will, So I would probably just plug Irving

673
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: in on the left side and see what happened, all right, Amber,

674
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: I mean, what else is there to add to that?

675
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: Not much. I agree with everything that Dave said, and

676
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: at this point I'm just like, okay, let's just try

677
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: to keep some kind of consistency in the old line.

678
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: So okay, yes, you're gonna keep Steel. He hasn't been

679
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: playing great, but that's what you got and you don't

680
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: got many options. So now, Cameron Irving, that's another guy

681
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: that you've had in the line in previous time. So

682
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: maybe that's a guy that's just easier to maybe just

683
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: plugging there as well. Obviously not obviously he might surprise us,

684
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: you never know, But I so now in this year,

685
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: you know, we haven't gotten a chance to really see him,

686
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys clearly preferred of other guys over him

687
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: prior to the injury that happened with him. So it's

688
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: a tough one. You just don't have many options. And

689
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: right now, I guess it's based on whatever they are

690
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: seeing at practice, which are things that we don't get

691
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: to see. So hopefully they make a good choice and

692
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: just figure it out, figure out one way or another,

693
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: trying to poor Andy, Poor Andy, Poor Andy, because it's

694
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough game. Amber didn't sound very convinced. Nigga,

695
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: I don't think. I mean, they don't know. I don't know.

696
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, they want to play Terrence Steele, and

697
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: I feel like they're they're trying that's kind of a

698
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: future thing, like, you know, let's just see how this guy.

699
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: Let's just keep throwing him out there and see if

700
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 1: he can get better. I mean, where if he gets

701
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: all these reps this year, will he be a better

702
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: player here next season? So I mean I think that

703
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: you know that that's kind of that they're gonna keep

704
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: playing him, and there's really no reason not to. Jordan

705
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 1: Mills isn't coming off the practice squad yet they haven't

706
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: done it. I mean Gregg's and not. You know, we

707
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: keep hearing he's a basketball type player, a good athlete,

708
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: but I mean, I don't know if he's ready. He's

709
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: on Cleveland's practice squad. So I mean, I think that

710
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: they said it best cam irving left side and just

711
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: keep keep rolling with Steel, but that right side of

712
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: just be oddish, McGovern and Steele. It's like, you know,

713
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 1: if you were just to say, hey, when they go

714
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: play Washington, this is the three that they're going to

715
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: have on the right side, not not Looney Zach Martin,

716
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: Lyle Collins, but but these three. So here's which just

717
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: I think about this every time they play Washington. I

718
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: talked to Lyle one time. You know, you remember a

719
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, like his first year at right tackle,

720
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: he had a murderers row, Like he had to play

721
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: Von Miller, He had to play Khalil mac that year.

722
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: Like week after week he was having to play these

723
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: badass left ends. And I was like, Who's who's the

724
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: best one, Who's the hardest guy to play? He was like,

725
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: if you want me to be honest, those guys are

726
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: all good. But Karan Karagan is the hardest guy to

727
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: play like. He's relentless every snap. He never gives you

728
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: anything but his best. I hate playing him, and that

729
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: was coming from Lyle Collins. So Karrogan doesn't even start

730
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: for this team anymore. By the way, I like good

731
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: good luck, which I did. I wanted to throw I

732
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: wanted to throw one more thing out there. You know,

733
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: we talked about Connor Williams as a tackle and if

734
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: things improve a little bit, like if when you get

735
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: Zack Martin back, maybe you can have that conversation. You know,

736
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: maybe you can play mc govern at left guard and

737
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: Zach at right guard. But like, you can't move Connor

738
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: Williams now like you don't have a guard to play.

739
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: If you move him, like you could, you could swap

740
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: Cam Irving in at guard. I think he's done a

741
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: little bit of that. But now you're asking two guys

742
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 1: to play positions they're not used to on short notice

743
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: against a great pass rush, like you can't. You can't

744
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: do that right now. Maybe when Zach is healthy again,

745
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: maybe it's something you talk about, but that's not possible

746
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: right now. So looking at everything that's happened with the

747
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: offensive line, the injuries you've had, the guys you've had

748
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 1: to play, how they've performed. Has it gotten bad enough

749
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: yet to where if you were the GM, you would

750
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: be looking out there and looking at the possibility of

751
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 1: giving up draft capital to trade for an offensive lineman,

752
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: particularly a tackle. Now. I know, obviously both those two

753
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: tackles you expect are going to be back next year,

754
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: but they're both I think definitely with Tyrone, his age

755
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: and the types of injuries he's had, makes you think

756
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: it's still not a bad idea to have a great,

757
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: a really good swing tackle on this team. Would you

758
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: be willing to go up draft capital to go out

759
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: and trade for a replacement tackle to come in right

760
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: now and give you some help, Nicholas, let me find

761
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: out this week and let me get to well, when's

762
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: the buy? I mean, when's the trade deadline? As I

763
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: guess it is coming up week eight? I think, is

764
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:01,320
Speaker 1: that right? Well, it's it's it's next week, I believe. Yeah, Okay,

765
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 1: you know I mean, and I say this because it

766
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: comes to a point in any two weeks. I'm sorry too, Sorry, Yeah,

767
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: any season, it doesn't matter if it's NFL, I mean,

768
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: you know, NBA. I mean baseball, you try to figure

769
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: out where you are, and I think Stephen Jones even

770
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: said that, like where you are is for are you

771
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: playing for the future or are you trying to win?

772
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 1: And I think with this division, you're always gonna try

773
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: to win because you're you're never really gonna be out

774
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: of it. I mean, nobody's out of it. So I

775
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: just I think that's a good question. And don't forget

776
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: about the compensatory picks the Cowboys will probably get for

777
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: about four or so. I mean, so they're gonna have

778
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: a lot of picks this year. Um, yeah, you could,

779
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 1: you could possibly do that. I just feel like you

780
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: got to figure out though, is is it worth doing though?

781
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: Is it worth trying to get into the playoffs it's

782
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: eight and eight or is it you want to just

783
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: say just play it out and see. I mean, I'm

784
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: gonna wait, this will be a good, good test. You

785
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: got one more game against a really really good defensive line,

786
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: so you'll find out if you have any hope. And

787
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: then if you if you win the game, it's like maybe,

788
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, maybe we do want to get a little

789
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: bit better here and try to win this thing. But

790
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that that's a tough question.

791
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 1: That's a good question. It is a tough question. One.

792
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: On one hand, I'm like, Okay, do I trust that

793
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: my defense is going to be able to turn things

794
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: around and do something more for my team? In that case,

795
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: do I trust that we actually have a good run

796
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: to make it? Because the thing it's like, yes, it

797
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: sounds great, Oh you're still ahead in the division, blah

798
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 1: blah blah, but what happens in the playoffs? I mean, yeah,

799
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: you might win the division, but what happens once you

800
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: start facing those other teams are playing better? I mean,

801
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: you're not automatically just gonna get better all of a sudden,

802
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: unless you know there's some progression throughout the weeks. But

803
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: let's say that that's the case, and I'm thinking, okay, yes,

804
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: I want to win this year at least get to

805
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs, then my answer would be absolutely yes. I

806
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 1: would be looking into trading and bringing someone in, mainly

807
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: because it doesn't matter the fine. Yeah, I mean it

808
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,760
Speaker 1: matters a lot. The fact that these guys level wise

809
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: are a lot lower than your starters that you initially had,

810
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: and to me, that creates more possibilities for other injuries.

811
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 1: You don't know what can happen to a Leidalt and

812
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: you don't know, and God forbid something happened to Zeque

813
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: as well, But you don't know what the lack of

814
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: good protection it's going to lead to as far as

815
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 1: creating possibilities of injuries of other guys that you absolutely

816
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: need healthy this year. So yes, I would be looking

817
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: to make some kind of trade, all right, Dave, start

818
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: off with my general philosophy. I mean, just with the

819
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: way this roster is constructed right now. If I'm trading

820
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 1: for somebody, it's got to be a young guy who's

821
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: in the you know, second second year of his deal

822
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: at the world Like, I can't do Amari Cooper again,

823
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper. It worked, It was a great trade, It

824
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: worked out for everybody. Oakland got a good pick and

825
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: they have a great receiver. But they had to turn

826
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: around and pay them twenty games later. I can't do

827
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: that right now. With how bloated this this contract situation is.

828
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: There's so many big contracts on this team and not

829
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: enough of them are pulling their weight. I can't. I

830
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: can't add that into the mix. Like, if I'm making

831
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: a trade, it's got to be for a guy that

832
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about paying for a little while.

833
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: On top of that, yeah, I mean you are right

834
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 1: to be concerned about the long term future of Tying

835
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: and Lyall, but they're still here and they're still counting

836
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: towards the salary cap, and I've I've got to try

837
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: my best to get them right for at least the

838
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: next few years. So if you want to make it,

839
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: if you want to trade a Day three pick for

840
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: a serviceable tackle who can just help you get through

841
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: the season, I would do that because you need a

842
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 1: third tackle anyway, like they need to get a guy

843
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: next year no matter what. But it can't be like

844
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: your first round pick. I mean, even with the concerns

845
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: about Tying and Lyle, you can't spend your first round

846
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 1: pick on a position where you already have to twelve

847
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: million dollar guys. I just don't think that's smart roster building.

848
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: So if you can get a guy for a Day

849
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: three pick, knowing that you've got compics coming, I would

850
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: do it just to keep the season afloat. But like

851
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: a major trade is something that you do to get

852
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: over the top or save your season, and without trying

853
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: to sign like a pessimist, I just don't know that

854
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: that's realistic for this team right now, so I wouldn't

855
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: want to commit too much. You know. The one thing

856
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: I will point out is actually, I personally think that

857
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,439
Speaker 1: they have to address offensive line in next year's draft.

858
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: I think it's actually just as important as addressing this

859
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: defense in next year's draft, because you look at the

860
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: players that they have on this offensive line, and it's

861
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: an offensive line that's really banged up, and I think

862
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: you have to account for the fact that you're not

863
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: going to have Tyren Smith for every game of the

864
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: season next year. I think for the rest of his career,

865
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: you probably have to account for that. Now, if he

866
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: happens to do it, great, that's great because I think

867
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: when he's playing, he's still wanted the best out there.

868
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: But I think you have to account for the fact

869
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: that you might not have him for full sixteen games.

870
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: So I think you gotta address the offensive line, and

871
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: probably a player that can move around a little bit

872
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: there can maybe help you out of guard, can pop

873
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: out the tackle if you get an injury there. But

874
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: I think you have to And so my point is,

875
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have to address it in the draft anyway.

876
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: Then I'm looking around at teams, and I agree with you, Dave.

877
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 1: I'm not looking at those top notch guys that I'd

878
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: have to give up a first or second round pick four.

879
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking for those guys that maybe I give up

880
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: a fifth round pick four. And it's a guy that

881
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: comes in and he is a very solid tackle. He

882
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: is a and I know fans are gonna roll their

883
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: eyes right now. He is a Doug Free. He is

884
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: a guy that has some wartz, but a guy that

885
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: is serviceable, that is better than what I have right now,

886
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: that I think can be a future swing tackle as

887
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: well on this team. Honestly, I disagree completely. I think

888
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: if you're gonna trade, I would trade a guy that's

889
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: in the last year of his deal that the team

890
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: knows that they're not going to resign. They're still pretty good.

891
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: They might get something. I mean, I don't have a name,

892
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: and I don't want to throw a name out there

893
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: for tampering, but I'm just saying, oh, I thought you'

894
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: on the couch. No, on another team, he's a second

895
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: round pick, a former first round pick maybe, and they're

896
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 1: not going to sign him. He hasn't been that great,

897
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 1: but he can. You know, let's just get instead of

898
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 1: lose him in free agency, you give him something. Because

899
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: think about it. Would the Cowboys right now for a

900
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: fifth round pick? Would they trade Terrence Steele for a

901
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: fifth round pick? Um? Yeah, they would want to. Yes,

902
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: they may not have enough bodies. They would want to.

903
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: They might not be able to. Yeah, they have enough

904
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: bodies for it. I mean even if the guys got back,

905
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: even if you even if let's say Tyman wasn't now,

906
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: you think they would trade for a fifth round pick,

907
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: maybe a sixth. I mean, I don't think it's a

908
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: no brainer. I mean, teams don't what I'm trying to say,

909
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: his teams don't want to get rid of young lineman.

910
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: There's not many out there, so there's not going to

911
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: be a lot of young lineman you can just go

912
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: and get. I don't know if the Cowboys would just

913
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: be willing to just trade maybe a fifth round pick,

914
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: but I mean they wouldn't trade him for a seventh

915
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: round pick or sixth round pick. Probably. I mean they

916
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 1: feel like they got a good young team. Saying Larry

917
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 1: Allen got thrown around by Reggie White and he was

918
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: the best to ever play. I'm just I'm not saying

919
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: he's gonna be Larry Allen. I'm just saying he let

920
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: these guys keep going, keep going. He's a big, strong guy.

921
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: He looks the part. You know, he just gotta. I'm

922
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: you're a believer. You're a believer in his upside. I

923
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 1: think you have to. I mean you, No, you don't

924
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 1: have to. I mean I'll put it like this, Yeah,

925
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 1: I haven't seen enough that makes me believe in his upside.

926
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,320
Speaker 1: The coaches obviously have seen more, and they do believe

927
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 1: in it. I'm asking you, do you believe in his upside.

928
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be right now. I can't

929
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: say he's gonna be a great player, but I know this.

930
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 1: You play football to get better. I mean, you get

931
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: better by playing football, and teams most teams don't have

932
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: the luxury of throwing out a rookie you like that

933
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:40,879
Speaker 1: to play. He's having to play. I think he's gonna

934
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: benefit from it. My point all along is that's our

935
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: that's our guy that we're talking about. A lot of

936
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 1: teams wouldn't want to part ways with a young tackle.

937
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying I got you all right. We
