Speaker 1: all right, Well thanks for that, Nick Thomas Everett. Let's

28
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: jump into, uh to what some of our topics for

29
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: the day. Remember, we got Bucky Brooks coming up in

30
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: the second segment from men IF Network. He's going to

31
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: talk to us about this Carolina defense. Man, I'm a

32
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: little worried about this, and we're gonna talk to them

33
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: about it and get some some feedback from him on

34
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: what we think of this defense. What do you just

35
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: just I mean, yeah, you watch, You'll probably watch like

36
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: seven plays and you're like, you know of them. Stop.

37
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're not good, but I mean we know,

38
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: we know. I get worried. I just said it yesterday,

39
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: like I got PTSD as you just you just I'm

40
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: all over the map. It's not even that you get worried,

41
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: like you just you ride the wave like you either

42
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: think that the Cowboys will never lose again or that

43
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: like everything is gonna be bad. Oh by the way,

44
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: and by the way, I could be like that an

45
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: hour apart. That's what I'm saying. It's not even that

46
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: in weeks. I already our apart. I already said this

47
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 1: an hour apart. You were like to work on that story, man,

48
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: and then like fifteen minutes later you were like, trouble.

49
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,839
Speaker 1: I bet you we're in trouble. I was like, there

50
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: if they're not in trouble in the press box, if

51
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: there was a there was a camera that showed like

52
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: both of us, we would probably annoy so many people

53
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: because we don't just say, like, man, that was a

54
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: bad play by so and so. We kind of take

55
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: it to him. Is he is he? Does he need

56
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: to be cut? Like? Is he good? Like you know,

57
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: like we just take this hole going to the Pro Bowl? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

58
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: we go all the way in. I think people would

59
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: relate to y'all because that's how fans watch the games. Maybe,

60
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: so I think people would be annoyed by me because

61
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting there and like I look over I'm like, yep,

62
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: y'all are talking cool. I'm gonna you can watch the game.

63
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: Y'all can be quiet if you want to. I know,

64
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: probably got some chats going on with your LSU buddies

65
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Like you're always cranking away on something,

66
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: but that might be just tweeting. It's usually Twitter or

67
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: pulling up the stats. I but you gotta remember, my

68
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: friends aren't Cowboy fans, so I mean they might I'll

69
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: get text people that are like, what the hell, Dave

70
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: and Mari's on my fantasy team, He's not doing it.

71
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, shut up, I don't care. Like I'm like,

72
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: I can do something. Yeah, I'm at work right now.

73
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: I barely care about my fantasy team. You know, they're

74
00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: going like Joe Burrows, Joe Burrows when Yeah, when Cincinnati

75
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: or Ls who are playing, it's a different story for sure.

76
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: You know. Actually tonight, I'm sorry I saw that too,

77
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: and I was and beals, I'm really excited about football

78
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: right now, just because you know it's that time of

79
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: the year. But I'm like, I'm having a hard time

80
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: getting up for this one. I would speak. This happened

81
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: right before Mike McCarthy's press conference. Somebody was like, yeah,

82
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: maybe I'll do that tonight. It's not like anybody wants

83
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: to watch Jacks Bengals. And I was like, speak for yourself,

84
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: Joey b and Jamar I'm in. I'm there. They're tweeting

85
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: the game. They're white uniforms, might be the best in

86
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: the league. Bengal, Oh, they're pretty They're pretty nice, dude,

87
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: they are awesome. I'm not talking about the Jags, no,

88
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: I mean, and they're fine, but now I don't know

89
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: the Bengals. They got it. The arrow's definitely going up

90
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: right now. I mean for them. I know we don't

91
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: play them and we're not supposed to be talking about them,

92
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: but well, you know, one of the interesting things, I'll

93
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: tie it back to the Cowboys. I just read this

94
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: morning Cheeta Woozya, who was signed by them in the offseason,

95
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: cornerback now starting for them. He has the lowest completion

96
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: percentage against him when he's been targeted in the entire

97
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: NFL through three different and it made me wonder like,

98
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: and I don't remember. You guys know way more and

99
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: keep up with this a lot more than I do.

100
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: But what was the deal. What did he gets signed

101
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: for in Cincinnati? It was like load of mid twenties,

102
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: Like three years, I want to say, three years twenty

103
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: two million dollars or like double deal for a cornerback,

104
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: starting corner. That is a good price for a starting

105
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: caliber corner. Yeah, for sure. But they had no room

106
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: for him because they were gonna draft one of these

107
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: two guys. Yeah, you know they were gonna draft one.

108
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: But but but how would you feel right now if he

109
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: was on the up It was three years twenty one

110
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: point seven I was close. Yeah, how would you feel

111
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: right now if he was opposite Diggs? Would you feel

112
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: better about that than you do with Anthony Brown? No,

113
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: you gotta like Yetta. Remember, like there was no way

114
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: any of those two corners weren't going to be there

115
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys in their mind, like they're gonna get

116
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: a corner here, they're gonna take one of these things.

117
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: They thought they were getting one first round. It's gonna

118
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: be we're gonna have one of those guys with Diggs,

119
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be often run. The way the Cowboys

120
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: have played this is perfect. Yeah, Anthony Brown's not amazing.

121
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis is fine. That's that's okay because they didn't

122
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: invest in them to be guys that. This is not

123
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith where you're like, what are we gonna do

124
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: with this contract? Ye, Like, the minute Kelvin Joseph steps

125
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: up or if he even if he doesn't like, you

126
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: can just keep drafting that. And you can either let

127
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown's already this is the second year of his extension,

128
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: so he's already only got one year left after this year.

129
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: And by the way, the guarantees are done, you can

130
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: move on from that whenever you want to. You can

131
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: move on from Anthony Brown or Jordan right now. And

132
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: the cap hit is negligible by NFL standards, so they're serviceable.

133
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: They're good enough for now. They're bridge players. That's Brian

134
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: brought us. Where are you at, buddy, You're building a

135
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: bridge with this player waiting for these young guys. It's

136
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: unfortunate Kelvin. It's unfortunate that Kelvin Joseph isn't ready right now.

137
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: But the way they played this is great. And by

138
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: the way, drafting Kelvin Joseph in the second round doesn't

139
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: stop them from drafting a cornerback in the first round.

140
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: Next year, if that's how it falls. It's so I

141
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: thought about that too. But I've got another position that

142
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I'm not saying they need to draft

143
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: a corner in the first round, but offensive line, like center,

144
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: Like like I'm and I'm thinking, you know, like if

145
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: you're if you're picking thirty seconds, you can, um you

146
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: just threw that out now. It just kind of right. Hey,

147
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: they've picked thirty second before, and I think it was

148
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: the year they got Frederick and they got a center.

149
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying they weren't in the game. But yeah,

150
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: they got thirty They'll be in the twenties. I mean,

151
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: this is a good football I think. I mean they'll

152
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: be They'll be in the twenties. That's where you can

153
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: get you can get superior talent and value at a

154
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: position like that. So we'll see. Be honest, he's gotta

155
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: get you gotta get better. They're gonna ride with him here,

156
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: I think, you know, and I don't know if he

157
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: played poorly. I know a couple of plays where he didn't. Well,

158
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: we'll do in the in the final segment, we actually

159
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: going to spend some time on the offensive line because

160
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: I really want to talk about a couple of different

161
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: guys in that offensive line and the other part to this,

162
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: and we'll talk a little bit to Bucky about this.

163
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: This may be the best if you go across the line,

164
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: this may be the best line that they will face

165
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: to this point, at least how they're playing this year,

166
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: because I know the Bucks are still the Bucks, and

167
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: their defense last year was probably the best in the league,

168
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: among the best in the league for sure, But thinking

169
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: about how they're playing this year, this may be a

170
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: This is definitely a very talented offensive line, I mean

171
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: defense line they'll be facing. So I want to seek

172
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: out how those guys are going to relate there. Um.

173
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: I did have one question. We were talking about the

174
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: cornerbacks and with regards to Treyvon digs. We had a

175
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: question from Twitter from Randall Walker. He said, with Treyvon

176
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: shadowing receivers, now can he also cover them when he's

177
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: lined up in the slot. What have you guys seen

178
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: as far as when he's traveling, how much does he

179
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: move around? Does he go into the slot or does

180
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: he pretty much stay on the outside. That's a really

181
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: good question, and I feel like I've seen him think

182
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: I've seen him in there too. But you know, all

183
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: it all depends on who you're playing and what do

184
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: they do, you know. Um, but I know Keenan Allen

185
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: is a line up everywhere type of guy. I don't

186
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: know if he actually you know what. After the game

187
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: we got Treyvon Diggs against the Chargers and I asked

188
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: him about that. He said, yeah, he pretty much went

189
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: with him every snap except for a couple of times

190
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: when we went into zone and some coverages on third down.

191
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that meant slot or not. I mean,

192
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: I think he can't. He can do it. He can

193
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: go in there, you know. Again, I say it a

194
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: thousand times, but you know, when he moves around, a

195
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: lot of people are moving around too, So you got

196
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: to give credit to, you know, the whole defense for

197
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: adjusting as well. Yeah, I hate to I'm just gonna

198
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: keep bitching about game pass. It's awful. My tape study

199
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: is not where I want it to be right now.

200
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: I will get better as the season goes. I was

201
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: gonna say, I can't remember him being in the slot

202
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: a ton, but I have all the confidence in the

203
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: world that he could if they needed him too, So

204
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Yeah, Keenan Allen does that. I would

205
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: play him wherever I felt like he needed to be.

206
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: I don't care where it is. Sometimes it's a domino

207
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: effect of it too, and I always go back to

208
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think Dez Bryant made Cole

209
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: Beasley's career because des was limited in the slot. He

210
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: couldn't play the slot, Beasley couldn't play on the outside.

211
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: So Beasley always had a role in the slot because

212
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: Dez was always going to be on the outside. I

213
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 1: always have cornerbacks like Jordan Lewis that they don't think

214
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: they really want to put on the outside. So therefore,

215
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: you know, you want to if you put digs inside,

216
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: then who goes to the outside, and that where might

217
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: be a mismatch that they don't want to get into.

218
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: So that's why I don't think it's not that he couldn't.

219
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: I think it's probably because some other inside guys aren't

220
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: as good on the outside. Worth there you go. Wow,

221
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: that's a lot good. Yeah, it's a good pull by Beam. Yeah,

222
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: thank you, sir, get it our producer, Chris Beam, thank

223
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: you for that information. But yeah, that that says a

224
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: lot about his ability. Eight And that was a website

225
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: or be him just charts this. He might chart it

226
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: as he's as he shoots slot with watching it with

227
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: one eye here. Yeah, so they've probably played a little

228
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: bit more somewhere, Like I'm guessing they've probably played like

229
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty snaps. One was fifty four last week.

230
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: So what's I mean, that's a little that's like somewhere

231
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: in the teens in terms of nine snaps. One hundred

232
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: short enough. I was gonna stay with like fifty, you know,

233
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: one thing. One ninety feels like a lot for three

234
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: games one twenty eight in the slot and hold on

235
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: one second either. But so it's it's not a huge

236
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: percentage it did, I mean twenty eight, but it means

237
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: he can. The point is it can, And that's I

238
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: think what the question was is can he truly follow

239
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: a guy if they wanted him too, for the entire game,

240
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: no matter where he goes, And I think he can.

241
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: I would not limit him if I like, if that's

242
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: what the game plan called for, I'm cool with it.

243
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: I just again, if that means Jordan Lewis is lining

244
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: up on the outside, that that might be more of

245
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: a problem than letting letting Digs just not take the

246
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: star receiver when he goes inside. Jordan. We've seen Jordan Lewis,

247
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean, wasn't a ton of plays, but we've seen

248
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: him stay with guys like Kamar for a little bit.

249
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis is a good player quick and he's one,

250
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, weird play away from We're talking about him

251
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: all week. If he that ball popped right now, he

252
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: came quick. It was that was that wasn't really a drop.

253
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: But if he catches at walks into the end zone,

254
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: it's not a drop. And I'm I'm not trying to

255
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: trash talk Jordan, but that's what I was talking about.

256
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: People are like, oh, yeah, the Digs, the Digs pick

257
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: against Tampa, whatever, that's a bobble ball, right, not guaranteed

258
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: to make those plays. We haven't seen Dallas cornerbacks make

259
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: those plays. I think the bounce on Jordan was tougher

260
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: than the bounce to Diggs. Came a lot faster. Yeah,

261
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: Diggs's play was a little bit easier to make. But

262
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm not taking for granted that a Dallas cornerback can

263
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: make that play because we just haven't seen it often. Jordan,

264
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean Diggs never played offense. I mean, Jordan, has

265
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: Diggs played receiver at Bama? No? You mean, oh yeah, mister,

266
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: but the jet sweep extraordinary? Yeah? Yeah, you remember that.

267
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: Ye I'm telling you, if they ever needed, if they

268
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: ever needed something like that, I think Diggs could play receiver.

269
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 1: I think for sure. I mean, like now, they why

270
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: why they don't stay over there? They don't. They don't

271
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: like the best receiver. They don't need it. I don't

272
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: think he would be. You know, he's not better than

273
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: like too much. I'm not. I'm not. I'm saying, but

274
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: like you got enough injuries where you need an extra

275
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: Maybe he's got great hands. You could you you can

276
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: just see the interception the play that he made. And

277
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: let's talk about him real quick. I mean, Dave wrote

278
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: the story NFC the NFC Defensive Player of the Month

279
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: the month the month Big September will be over by

280
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: the time they play. What is there to say? Three picks,

281
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: a touchdown, six pass breakups, which is leading the league.

282
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 1: Um Dallas past defense is top ten. I don't think

283
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: I realized that. But it's March. Mickey's gonna answer this

284
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: one for you. Tell me the last time this has happened.

285
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: I mean, whatever you're about to ask, that was the question, Yeah, Mickey,

286
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: because he sits with the guy, Everson Walls. Everson Walls

287
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: the last No, no, no, I'm saying, the last time

288
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had a defensive player named Defensive Player of

289
00:13:55,400 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: the Month in the NFL, it's probably d Ware, I'm guessing. Yeah,

290
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: my memory is not as great as I think it

291
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: used to be, but I'm pretty sure that a player

292
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: has never won this in the time that I've covered

293
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: the team. Twenty thirteen was your first year, right, which

294
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: not a huge stretch of time, but yeah, right to it.

295
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: I don't think you're guessing it was back in the

296
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: in the weird days. I don't think it's the heyday

297
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: of DeMarcus Square of the Month. Yeah, you never know.

298
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: I mean, and if you want to talk about cornerbacks, yeah, yeah,

299
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: good luck with that. Final think ten who did it?

300
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: I'm guessing no. He never was a big interception guy,

301
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: and to do that you gotta get some Intersett got.

302
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: Roy Williams might have. But but yeah, it's true da

303
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: Dave's era. I don't know, I don't know, I don't

304
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: I can't think of a guy that did it. He's

305
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: been a revelation. Like I knew he was good. I

306
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: was reluctant to say he was this good because Obama. No,

307
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: not just just mainly because I've been burned before. Yeah,

308
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: because Obama. Seriously, though, I wrote this article after it happened.

309
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: I mean, first round picks were good, a great at Alabama.

310
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: But second pick, second round picks and on it's been

311
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: it's been hit and miss. Yeah, you know for them,

312
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: So I think they get taken because they were really

313
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: good players there, but they get you know, sometimes you

314
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: don't know if it's because of all the talent around them.

315
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: And I'm very surprised at what he's been able to do. Honestly,

316
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: I don't wanna. Yeah I am. I did. There's no

317
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: other way to say it. Like I thought he was

318
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: a good player. I thought he had a good rookie year.

319
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: Now I'm like, damn, is he like a top Yeah?

320
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: I mean maybe it's it's too soon to say top ten,

321
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: but and I think you have to break it down.

322
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: I was talking about this on the radio today, like

323
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: you can't compare a second year corner who's a month

324
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: into a second year to Jalen Ramsey, who's been doing

325
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: this for five years. Like the pecking orders are a

326
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: little bit different, but like among the younger players, guys

327
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: who are still on their rookie deals, he's yeah, he's

328
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: in the conversation. He played sixteen games, yet I don't

329
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: think he has didn't he missed like four, He missed

330
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: a few last year. I gotta have to losk get up.

331
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: He's probably played like fifteen or so games, and so

332
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: think about it. And I know that's hard to say

333
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: like a sixteen game because he's had two training camps

334
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: and three seasons stuff like that, But sixteen games. I

335
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: think he's about to play a sixteenth game. If you

336
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: were sitting there to say, hey, he's got six interceptions,

337
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: I mean that would be that would be a monster rookie.

338
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: Here's the fastest player to it since Marcus Peters. The

339
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: last defensive plays of the Good Company for the Cowboys

340
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,239
Speaker 1: was the Marcus Lawrence in September twenty seventeen. Damn it's seventeen.

341
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: That was Remember he started that year with like seven sacks. Yeah,

342
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: he got four sacks against Denver in that blowout, and

343
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: he had like he tore it up. I forgot about that,

344
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: and then Shawn Lee had it twice September of thirteen

345
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: and said October thirteen and I sucked. Then I promise

346
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: you that they played. Shaun Lee played the Eagles in

347
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: that month, maybe twice because he was his team. He

348
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: also looked up September. September thirteen was when he had um.

349
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: He had that pick six against the Chargers that year too,

350
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: and that was in September. Didn't he get hurt that game?

351
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I'll never He picked six

352
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: Rivers and they had a big lead at halftime, and

353
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, they're rolling, and then like

354
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: they got their asses kicked in the second. I think

355
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: he got hurt in that game because d d Where

356
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: threw a player onto his foot and broke his toe

357
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: and he got hurt. Yeah, d Where just toss some

358

Speaker 1: guy around. See you, I can tell like we're all

Speaker 1: Survivor before, but this season I'm definitely in. I'm having

428
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: a good time watching it. So yeah, all right. He

429
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: did this morning that the editing process kind of helped

430
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: him out a little bit. He said, Yeah, he said,

431
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: if they would have showed everything that happened and that challenge,

432
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: it would have been embarrassing because like they ended out,

433
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: they did me right, Oh, I could tell. I could

434
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: tell he was kind of tired, and that challenge looked

435
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: like it was kind of Yeah, especially five days of

436
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: not eating and then you go do that challenge. Yeah,

437
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: that sounds like that would be really really hard. All Right.

438
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: We're joined right now by Bucky Brooks of NFL Network. Bucky,

439
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Let's talk about this Carolina defense.

440
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: And I'll start first with Carolina's a lot the fewest

441
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: yards and second fewest points this season. This is more

442
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: of a reflection of who they've played. They've played the

443
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: Jets in New Orleans and Houston, or is this defense

444
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: really that good? Defense? Is really good? They're really good

445
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: because they're fast, they're athletic, they can get after you.

446
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: And I think when you talk to Matt Rule, and

447
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: I had a chance to talk to him while he

448
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: was at bailing, he talked about rebuilding programs. He's on

449
00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: the number one thing that you have to do on

450
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: D fenses. You gotta put speed on the field. And

451
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: I don't care where they come from. You gotta be

452
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: able to put a fast and explosive team on the field.

453
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: And when I look at the Carolina Panthers, they have

454
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: certainly followed suit when it comes to their premise. They

455
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: have dbs playing at linebacker. They have guys who should

456
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: be linebackers putting their hand in the dirt like Brian Burns,

457
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: And because they're so fast and athletic, they overwhelm you

458
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: with their collective explosiveness. And you have a real snow

459
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: who is a little creative and out of the box,

460
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: and it puts a lot of pressure on you as

461
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: an offense to figure it out. So that being said, obviously.

462
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: You know, it sounds like they have a track team

463
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: going on defense. That means we'll probably see the Cowboys

464
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: trying to attack them by running the ball at them.

465
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: I mean, because they can't be that powerful if they're

466
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: going to be that fast, right, Yeah, the parliament is

467
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: You've got big Dick brown sitting up in the middle

468
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: of their defense, and Derek Browning can be a handful,

469
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: and you know, like he hasn't put up like these

470
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: crazy numbers, but he does enough to let the other

471
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: guys eat. Shack Thompson is having a good year because

472
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: run is up in the middle of commanding double teams

473
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: and allowing those guys to run in chase. When Jimmy

474
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: Box Jimmy Chen decides to get into the box, then

475
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: it becomes an issue. So the Bara box out of defense.

476
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: They're tough Man Rule has done a great job of

477
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: making sure that they play hard and they played with

478
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: a level of toughness and physicality. So this will be

479
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: kind of a test of wheels, particularly if the Cowboys

480
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: elect to run the football at them. It's gonna be

481
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: a heavyweight fight, an old school fifteen round heavywey fighter.

482
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: The line of scrimmage Bucky. I know enough to know

483
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: that Brian Burns is one of the best young pass

484
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: rushers in the NFL right now, but I don't know

485
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: his game enough to know how versatile he is and

486
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: is the I mean, does he play in one spot?

487
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: Did they move him wherever the matchup is? Obviously I'm

488
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,959
Speaker 1: asking because I mean, are they just gonna put him

489
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: over Terrence Steele and say have fun? Or what are

490
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: we looking at here? Well, what you're looking at this

491
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: guy who is a speed rusher and a speed rusher

492
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: only the best thing that he does is man He

493
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: just gets up to feel the ball. He has great

494
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: snapcount anticipation in first step quickness, and so if you're

495
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: laid out of your stands, he's by you now. To

496
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: be honest, because he's not a big fan of mine.

497
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: Going on the back to when he was coming out

498
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: of college, like he's kind of a one trick pony, right,

499
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: He's gonna either gonna come up the field or he's

500
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: gonna do a spin move. And a lot of his

501
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: sex are kind of sex on air. It's a blown protection.

502
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: The running back forgets to pick him up and he

503
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: kind of falls into it. That's it. He does have

504
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: a lot of speeding. He can chase it down from

505
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: the back side. The main thing that you have to

506
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 1: do with him you got to put a body on him.

507
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,239
Speaker 1: If you put a body on him, then you can

508
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: nullify him. But if you fall asleep at the whee

509
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: hever run passion, he certainly are knocked down. The quarterback

510
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: sounds like this defense is really good. The numbers reflected

511
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 1: they are number one against the past, there number one

512
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: against the run. If you had to choose one of

513
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: the two and say this is where you would have

514
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: potentially more success than the other, would you pass predominantly

515
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: or would you run predominantly against this defense? I think

516
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,719
Speaker 1: he'd be I think you're balanced. I think as much

517
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: as I can give Matt rule and feel Snow and

518
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: all those guys their flowers, I don't think if you

519
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense, that you're blinking at the on the

520
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: other side. I think you do what you do and

521
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: then you adjust accordingly. I think the best thing that

522
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have done is they've been balanced. And I

523
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: think Kellen Moore said as I saw Dave retweeted this

524
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: when he talked about the man as players not plays.

525
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: He basically kind of boiled down to that we got

526
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: better players. So it doesn't matter what plays I call.

527
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: I just need to get the ball to the best players.

528
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: And I think that is the premise that worked well

529
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys Zeke, Tony Powler to Marie Cooper, Ceedee Lamb.

530
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: When they get their touches, more likely than not they're

531
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: better than the opponent. And so the Cowboys just need

532
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: to play the game. I will say when they run

533
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: the football and it's a little closer to the fifty

534
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: fifty balance, it helps the defense because you're not defending

535
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: as many plays and so just being mindful of time

536
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: possession and the number of plays that you're running on

537
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: offense that is to the benefit of the defense. But

538
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: I think you line up and you play, you see

539
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: how they're playing because you have favorable matchups on the outside.

540
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: I think you attacked him throwing it. But I think

541
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, man, when you running

542
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: it with Zeke and Tony Potter like that is a problem.

543
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: I know sometimes when you look at offensive lineman, they

544
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: give up a sack or you know, some penalties and

545
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: you think, well, they're having a bad game. But you know,

546
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: there's fifty sixty other players that they do. All right,

547
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: where's Tyler be Odish in this? In your mind? As

548
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: far as whereas he's how he's playing here, he struggled

549
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. Now. The one thing about guys inside

550
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: you can cover them up, you know, in the offensive line.

551
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: The offensive line is as good as your weakest link.

552
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: And he when he's on the field, for whatever reason,

553
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: you know, he just hasn't been able power pusher. And

554
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: that is really odd because when you think about Wisconsin lineman,

555
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: you think about Wisconsin and moving people off the ball

556
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: and the level of success that they've had with guys

557
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. He has kind of falling

558
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: shorter that standard. That's it. The Cowboys having ability to

559
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: cover him up. They've been able to kind of hide

560
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: him within like the collective unit. But he certainly hasn't

561
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: played well enough to kind of like allow the Cowboys

562
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: to play at peak performance. Hopefully his play improves and

563
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: they're able to kind of make up for the weak

564
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: link that they're kind of protecting. I know you're not

565
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: in Phil Snow's meeting rooms, so I don't want to

566
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: put you on the spot too much. I can't expect

567
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: you to know this, but just as a general thought,

568
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: I'm curious they traded for CJ. Henderson on Monday, first

569
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: round pick out of Jacksonville. He practiced fully yesterday, so

570
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: he's healthy enough to participate in practice. He's had three

571
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: days to look at the playbook. What do you do

572
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: with a guy like that in this scenario. I assume

573
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: he's going to be active for this game. Can you

574
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: trust a guy like that to have it all down

575
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: and play a full game? Or what do you do

576
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: in that scenario If it's you, Oh, I'm playing him

577
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: and I'll put him on the field right away. He

578
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: automatically goes onto the field in Nickel packages. We've got

579
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to work around them. Look, man,

580
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: it's not real complicated. When you have really talented players,

581
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: you try and make it very simple for them. And

582
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: knowing how they think in Carolina, they're gonna make it

583
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: very easy for him to be able to go play.

584
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: I think they're benefited from the fact that a lot

585
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: of their coaches come from the collegiate game, and when

586
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 1: you come from the college game, you're used to doing

587
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: these quick turnarounds because you may have a freshman that

588
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: comes off the street. You gotta get them ready to play,

589
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: so you figure ready to make it very very simple

590
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: for the players who has talent can shine. Whether Panthers

591
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: want is they want to put together a collection of

592
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,719
Speaker 1: dynamic athletes on defense that can overrun you with their

593
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: athleticism and speed, and so they will find a way

594
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: to either lot C. J. Henderson up in man coverage,

595
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: play some simple sigmon zones, but they're going to put

596
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: them on the field. I would expect the same player

597
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: prominent role. Carolina leads the league right now in quarterback

598
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: pressures with forty seven. Talk to me about how they're

599
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: doing it is Is it primarily with just the front four?

600
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: Do they blitz? Do they do a lot of stunts?

601
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: Like what are they doing in order to generate the

602
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: pressure that they're generating against their opponents. It's all of

603
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: the above they do at all man they line up.

604
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: If they can beat you with four, they beat you

605
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: with four. Because their speed, Brian Burns and the speed

606
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: off the edges can be problematic. If they need to

607
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: dial a left and bring some pressure. Their bring shack.

608
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: Times they're bring some of the other guys to create

609
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: a their bring corners off the edge. There is nothing

610
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: in the playbook that they won't utilize. And so one

611
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: of the things when we talk about speed, because the

612
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: common denominator is speed, when you have a fast defense,

613
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: you can create disruption, and disruption brings about those negative

614
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: plays and those things. As the Cowboys defense has gotten faster,

615
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: when you put Mike and some of those other guys

616
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: on the field, the turners kind of happened because speed

617
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: creates disruption. And so it's the same thing for the

618
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. They got more speed on the field. They

619
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: can run down play with great effort, make up your

620
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: mistakes with your effort and your athleticism, and that's where

621
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: they're doing. That's what they have in success, all right.

622
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: So tell us who's gonna win what he thinks gonna

623
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: have on Sunday at noon at at and T Stadium.

624
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: So I think this is a statement game for the

625
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, right because the narrative has changed. Now the

626
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: conversation around town and around the countries. Oh, the Cowboys

627
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: are real, They're legit. This is an opportunity for them

628
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: to be a Super Bowl contendent and all of those things.

629
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: This is a test of the maturity of the Cowboys.

630
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: Have they grown over the past couple of years to

631
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: being a team that, oh, when they're expected to win,

632
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: they can win. I expect them to win. But to me,

633
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm looking to see how do they go about handling

634
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: their business because this is a game that I think

635
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: they should win. Can they go about just chopping win

636
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: and taking care of business right from the jump, or

637
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: do they backslide a little bit because of all the

638
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: noise has been so positive that then they get complacent

639
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: and they kind of lose their focus on what is

640
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: really important. All right, but if we appreciate you joining us,

641
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: we'll be back, thank you again next week and talk

Speaker 1: We'll do that. We're gonna take our final break, come back.

644
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: We'll get some questions for these guys on this Dallas

Speaker 1: WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. Before we end the show,

690
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit more about this

691
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense relative to the Carolina defense. But I want

692
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: to start I want to zero in a little bit

693
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: here on the Cowboys offensive line. I want to get

694
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: some opinions from you guys on how you think, particularly

695
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: three guys on the offensive live played against Philadelphia, really

696
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: just how how they've played throughout the year. We talked

697
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: a little bit about beadishu, Connor Williams, Terrence Steele. How

698
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: do you think those three guys in particular have played,

699
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: particularly last week and over the course of the season

700
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: as much as they've played. I think Steele, Um, and

701
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: this isn't really I think if you throw expectations out

702
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: the window, I think Steele has played the best of

703
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: those three. Wow. Well, I mean you didn't hear holding

704
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: seventy eight four times? Yeah, I mean Connor Williams had

705
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: a hard time blocking and Beotish costs him fourteen points. Um, yeah,

706
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: and on both goal lines. He just I thought that

707
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: that quarterback sneak yes, Dad got in in my opinion,

708
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: but Beondish went straight to the ground and he had

709
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: to kind of shift over to the right here. He

710
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: didn't get any push at all. And of course we

711
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: know what happened on the other one, so be honest,

712
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: you know. But they are they are getting four hundred

713
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: yards of offense, but they were running it, they were

714
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: moving it. I don't want to fault them all, but

715
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: I think in the past game, I think I think

716
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 1: they've struggled a little bit there, especially Connor in this

717
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: last game. Yeah, I'm really I'm conflicted about Tyler Beotish.

718
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 1: It's it's that's a hard thing to decipher because I yeah,

719
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to call him the weak link

720
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: of this offensive line right now. I also think it's

721
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: fair to point out he's he just started his seventh

722
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: NFL game and somebody somebody called me on that the

723
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: other day. They were like, he played all last year.

724
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, he started four times because Joe

725
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: got hurt, and when Joe came back, he left the lineup.

726
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: He started four games. He's barely played by NFL standards.

727
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: He was a fourth round pick. Also, yeah, I think

728
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: there's some there's some Travis Frederick association going on that

729
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: doesn't do Tyler any favors, Like he's not Travis Frederick.

730
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: Travis Fredrick was the best center in football. Um and

731
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: and also he's he's gone against Vitava and indamackin sue,

732
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: Javon Hargrave and Fletcher Cox, which for all, for as

733
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: much as everybody respects Fletcher Cox, Hargrave is playing better.

734
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,439
Speaker 1: He showed it freak o. No, by the way, Derek

735
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: Brown on deck, he's he's gross too. Top ten pick

736
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: last year. Just hard, hard guy to deal with. And

737
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: I get it. It's troubling because you're gonna have those

738
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 1: matchups throughout the season. I understand that even you know,

739
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: the Giants look like they suck. They have Leonard Williams,

740
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: like it doesn't get easier in the NFL. But I

741
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: still feel like the guy deserves a little bit of slack.

742
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: And again the expectation, like you get so used to

743
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: watching Hall of Fame caliber players play offensive line for

744
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: this team, you got to make do with less than

745
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 1: that in a lot of cases, and Tyler hasn't been

746
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: so bad that it's thrown the offense off of schedule.

747
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: I mean they're moving the ball and scoring points in

748
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: every game they've played so far, so as you've been great,

749
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 1: not at all, am I just breaking all the glass

750
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 1: and pressing all the panic buttons. Not yet. So let's

751
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: let's take this question to the next level. I mentioned

752
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: when we were talking to Bucky, Carolina leads a league

753
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: in quarterback pressures. If you look at the other opponent

754
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: the other opponents at Dallas has faced all three of

755
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: them in the bottom half of the league and quarterback pressures.

756
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: Are you'd all concerned that going into this game that

757
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: this may be a team that pressures way more than

758
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: what you've seen. And those two guys, I guess because

759
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: you guys feel like stell has been pretty good. Those

760
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: two guys Williams and and be Odist, are you at

761
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: all concerned about what they're going to be facing this

762
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: week against the team that sends a lot of pressure and,

763
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: as Buckie said, sends pressure on a lot of different

764
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: kinds of ways. Not as concerned because of Zekiel Elliott.

765
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: And I don't mean that as a pass blocker. I

766
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: just mean as a runner. I think that that I

767
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: don't know what the Jets have in their running game

768
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what Houston has. Saints, you know, they

769
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: have Kamara, but they don't really use him the way

770
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys like to use obviously Zeke, and they're in

771
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,760
Speaker 1: they're running attack. So I think the Cowboys running attack

772
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: is going to kind of set the tone of this

773
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: and maybe keep that, you know, keep the pass rush

774
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: off a little bit, because you know, like I asked Bucky,

775
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you can have the fastest guys in the world,

776
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: but I mean they're probably gonna give up some here

777
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: in the running, he said. He said, safeties are playing linebackers.

778
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: Linebackers are either hand or the dirt. Well, you gotta

779
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: better be able to run on them. And I think

780
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have a running game, unlike the other three

781
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: teams they face so far, to at least offset what

782
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: some of this pass rush will be. I'm worried about it,

783
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm glad you've phrased it that way, because

784
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: I think we're we're being remiss. We haven't mentioned an

785
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: important name in this matchup yet. He's actually he's the

786
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: guy leading the Panthers in sacks right now, and that's

787
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: Hassan Reddick, former top fifteen pick Arizona had a breakout

788
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: year last year. He's in Carolina because I don't know

789
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: this for sure, but it's a hell of a dot

790
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: to connect. Matt Rule was his coach at Temple. Matt

791
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: Rule knows his strengths and knows how to use him.

792
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: He's a hybrid guy. He can do some linebacker stuff,

793
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: he can play on the edge. He's got four and

794
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: a half sacks already this season. He's a Michael Parsons.

795
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 1: I mean he's not. He's not. He's like a He's

796
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: a bulky or less bindy Micah Parsons. But he you

797
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: can use him in that Swiss army knife kind of

798
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: way where you can create a lot of havoc with

799
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: a guy like that. You can blitz him, you can

800
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: play him on the edge. He can hold He's big

801
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: enough to hold up against the run. Now you can

802
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: get into conversations where you show blitz and drop him,

803
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: and now Deck's got to deal with that. So there's

804
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: just I just say that to say there's a lot

805
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 1: of ways that they can throw stuff at this offensive line,

806
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: and with what we've already seen from those three in particular, yeah,

807
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: it should be concerning. And I think they're gonna need

808
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: to call plays to offset that, like they should call

809
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: their offense to offset pressure, because I think it's going

810
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: to be coming out of a lot and because they

811
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: do it in a lot of ways. Why I'm most

812
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: concerned is still and be honest in their inexperience. I

813
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: know Steele got a lot of experience last year, relatively

814
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: speaking for his rookie year, but that all being said,

815
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: he still is just a second year player, and so

816
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: the relative inexperience of those two guys, I wonder how

817
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: much that can be taken advantage of by a defense

818
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: that does a lot of different things and has a

819
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: lot of speed, so you don't have time to react

820
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: if you if you're lost, like they're gonna be by you.

821
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: As Bucky was saying a little earlier, that part does

822
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: concern me a little bit. Now here's another thing. I

823
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: want to talk about Dallas's strategy offensively, and we've heard

824
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: this from Kellen Moore a few times. We aggressively take

825
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: what the defense gives us. So what do you do

826
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: when you're facing a team that's equally good against the

827
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: run and against the pass, When you know you typically

828
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: look for where they will have a little bit more

829
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: of a deficiency, and that's where you kind of attack them.

830
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm not sold on this secondary and that's and again

831
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: you know this, it's the NFL. The results are what

832
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: they are. At a certain point, I don't care who

833
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,919
Speaker 1: they've beaten. They still deserve credit for doing these things.

834
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: But you look at the quarterbacks that they've played, and

835
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: even then the receiver corps that they've played. The Jets

836
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: have a rookie quarterback behind a bang UPO line with

837
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: little in the way of skill players. The Saints were

838
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: a mess that week. It's still breaking in an offense.

839
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 1: Even when they beat the crap out of Green Bay

840
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: Week one, they only threw for like one hundred and

841
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: twenty yards. They don't have a Yeah, they don't have

842
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: skill players beyond Michael Thomas, who's not playing. I mean

843
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: like they got a bunch of low round guys and

844
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill just trying to patch it together. And then Houston.

845
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: What do I need to say, as if they weren't

846
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: even with their start, As if Houston wasn't bad enough,

847
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: They've got Davis Mills. This ain't that, this is this

848
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: is dak playing at an MVP caliber with beasts everywhere

849
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: and a running game. And so I respect Carolina up

850
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: especially their front. And like I said, if if Carolina

851
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: is gonna win this game, it's gonna be because they

852
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: just muck this whole thing up and just beat the

853
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: offensive line. Yeah. Um, but I'm not sold that this

854
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: secondary is locked down. Like Dante Jackson is fine, uh

855
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: CJ Henderson got there Monday. JC Horn's not playing in

856
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: this game. Jeremy Chen's a good player. But again, like

857
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not sold that this is some secondary that

858
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: you can't throw on. And I think there will be

859
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: placed there, agreed, I really, I just I think that

860
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: their defensive, you know, I think that their defense is

861
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: gonna be aggressive, but I think there's ways to offset that.

862
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: And I do think that that Dak is playing with

863
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,439
Speaker 1: this with this lineup right now, I don't. I don't.

864
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if you would trade him for anybody

865
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: right now, I really don't. I don't think you would

866
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,240
Speaker 1: trade for anybody in the league about what they're doing,

867
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: what they've got, right I wish you like my Grench

868
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: heart just grew like three sizes hearing you say that. Well,

869
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: I just and I'm not saying the best. I'm not

870
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: saying he's the best quarterback in the league because you

871
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 1: can't do that with guys that have won Super Bowls

872
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: and still playing at a high level. I mean, and

873
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: then they're they're there are guys out there. But I

874
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: don't think you would take the combination of Kellen Moore,

875
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: Dak the line Zeke just what they're doing right now.

876
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: You wouldn't. If you say, if you say, give me

877
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: an offense that you would trade, you wouldn't trade the

878
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense for any offense. Yeah, I mean, I mean,

879
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: myhomes is outstanding, but I mean you wouldn't. Would you

880
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: rather have Russell Wilson in here doing what Dak is

881
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: doing with all of this, No, I'd rather the guy.

882
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: It's the chemistry. It's like Dave said, the chemistry of

883
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: everything that's going is that you know he and But

884
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: here's something that that needs to be said, and we

885
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: talked about it a lot. There are no divas on

886
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: this offensive team and it is very tough to do this.

887
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: You can't just say Cooper three catches twenty four yards,

888
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 1: Hey we won that. Cowboys haven't had receivers here all

889
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: the time, like he Zeek is fine with it. The

890
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: offensive gallup was fine. CD. They just want to win.

891
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: And as much as that sounds like, it's easy, see

892
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: it around the league, you've seen it with this team.

893
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,959
Speaker 1: We saw him the other night at the game. It's great,

894
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: he's great. But Dez wasn't always okay with that situation too.

895
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: So it's it's not it's easy to say, pick your poison,

896
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: but sometimes these other players they stay hear this kind

897
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 1: of stuff, and I think it's really it's it's really

898
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: it's a credit to everything that they're how unselfish they've been.

899
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to myth make too much. I mean,

900
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,720
Speaker 1: we all we love Dak. We talk about it. Everybody

901
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: knows I love Dak. But I think a lot of

902
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: that stems from him. He is he oozes confidence, and

903
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 1: he is accessible, you know, and he's he's not aloof

904
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's one of the guys. He's he

905
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 1: uses confidence in himself, he uses his confidence in all

906
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: of them. He's the first guy to say, like, it

907
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 1: wasn't there for you there, but I got you. Like

908
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: he keeps everybody involved, and I think he is a

909
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: big part of why everybody's just kind of chill with that, honestly,

910
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: is there just like that, Dak will get me in him,

911
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: Dak will get me my play sea. They asked CD

912
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 1: about that yesterday. CD was open on the Cedric Wilson

913
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: touchdown last week, and they were like, did you kind

914
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: of did you kind of raz Dac about that? You

915
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: let him know that you were open too, And he's like, Noll,

916
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: he saw it and he made the best play and

917
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 1: he'll he'll come back to me. It's fine. Cooper was

918
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: wide open on a touchdown that they threw the jar

919
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: when it gainst the Chargers. They still scored on that drive.

920
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: Wide open though, And uh, you know, I mean you

921
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: just like you know you want to score him all that.

922
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: But but yeah, like you said, like, and that's what

923
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: that's what makes this offense so great. It's like whatever

924
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: you do, Like, I don't have to force the ball

925
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: to this guy, I gotta get him. As touches who's

926
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:53,919
Speaker 1: making fifteen twenty million year a gotta get They don't

927
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 1: do that. And I think that's a credit to everybody involved.

928
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: You gotta give coaches, you know, credit as well. But

929
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: I think it's Dack more than anything. But I so

930
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: I don't think Dak is better than Patrick Mahomes or

931
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, but I've been thinking that these last three weeks.

932
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm just like, he is operating at a level with

933
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: the best of him right now, not in terms of

934
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: like how pretty the throws are or the stat lines,

935
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: but just in terms of the confidence and the comfort

936
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: and offense making every every decision is the right one,

937
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: or if they're not the right decision, you get out

938
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 1: of it, or you bounce back from the players that

939
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: don't go right. And it's just it's it's been so

940
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: much fun to watch. And here's the thing. He's not

941
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: a one hundred percent And I don't mean like health wise,

942
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm talking about he's not at his game just yet

943
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: because he doesn't want to run right running game is

944
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: this he's Maybe it's mental, Maybe he's just being smart.

945
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: Maybe he's like, I don't have to take that risk.

946
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: But once that gets back, and that's another element and

947
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: with all this other stuff, watch out man, that's that

948
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: can even be scarier. But right right now, he just

949
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: doesn't he's you know, he's trying to be smart with it. Now.

950
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if I blame him really

951
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 1: all right. We appreciate you guy, jona Us. We'll be
