Welcome back for the people today. Welcome 10 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: back from yesterday. I thought I missed the first segment. 11 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: Welcome back, well back from yesterday. Thanky, Okay, so let's 12 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: just jump right there we go. Thank you again. We 13 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: have a lot to talk about today. So before we 14 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: get into the Giants defense, wanted to hit up on 15 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: the practice report. A few guys that showed up on there, 16 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: the Marcus Lawrence being one of them, did not practice 17 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: with a groin injury. As far as I know, this 18 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: is nothing to be concerned about, right, do you guys 19 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: know anything else? Further from that, it doesn't seem like 20 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: a big deal. He was out on the field just now. 21 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: I don't know how much he's gonna do. But um, 22 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: I don't get the impression this is a super big deal. Now, 23 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: Dak he practiced in full but did show up on 24 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: the injury report with an ankle and people so you 25 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: saw that on Twitter and started going crazy, at least 26 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: on my timeline, you know already freaking out. What's gonna 27 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: happen if Dak is not ready? Who steps in? What's cheering? 28 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: It was a mixture of both. But I think I 29 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,559 Speaker 1: think the fact that he has um like a rap 30 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: on his ankle and he's in the locker room and 31 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: people see that, and then you know what's the issue, 32 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: and he's still practiced with it. He's got something going 33 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: on that he needed to get it wrapped. I think 34 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: he's fine. Yeah. I feel like he's he's wrapped that 35 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: thing a few times, like going back to training camp. 36 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: Stop funny stop, I mean Knox and bruises of football season. 37 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: He's fine. Yeah. Now, Randy Gregory, Xavier Woods, they are 38 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: still unable to practice, so it's still a pending status 39 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: for them, so injury rapport as of right now, it 40 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: looks pretty okay. Right. Can I just kind of just 41 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: say this though, I mean, and you kind of intimated 42 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 1: this earlier this week when you're talking about Randy Gregory, Like, 43 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: you know, we've heard this before where players like I'm good, 44 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: like no, I'm I'm good, and they tweet I'm good. 45 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: But that protocol is still the protocol. And the fact 46 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: that he's not practicing, if he's not practicing today, that's 47 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on. I mean, there's a 48 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: we've seen it happen before where guy thought he was 49 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: good and he missed six weeks. Like those concussions are. 50 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: There's it's a different world than what it was even 51 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: five years ago when it comes to concussions in the NFL. 52 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: And I wonder to him, and I wonder they have 53 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: got eight defensive linemen right on the on the team. 54 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: Funny that you say that because Dayton Jones was at 55 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: practice today. I don't know what he's gonna do. They 56 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: don't let us watch that. But he was out there 57 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,119 Speaker 1: stretching and warming up, and he was feeling himself too, 58 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: Like he was kind of dancing to the music. And 59 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: I'm probably excited he was his injury to stop. Uh 60 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: what was his Seriously, it's a song, dude, I think 61 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: it was his growing right. Yeah, So I mean it's 62 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: you know, him being in stretch line does not mean 63 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: he's going to play, but he's that's closer, working working back, 64 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: so we'll see so and that's defensive tackle position. Yeah, no, 65 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: that's your Crawford slides back to end. Maybe. I mean 66 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: they mixed these guys I know so much, and it's 67 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: you know, but that's that's probably what they would do there. 68 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: If Gregory is inactive and Daytone can play, then Crawford 69 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: will play more in and they could also go with 70 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: three defensive end three three defensive end rotation, right, they 71 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: don't have to have four, No, I have to But 72 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: that sounds scary, does it. Yeah? Seven guys, they're indoors 73 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: and not gonna open the roof. We're not doing that again. 74 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: Oh no, No, Moving on from that, I just talk 75 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: on Crawford real quick. He I mean, obviously he's always 76 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: been a guy that can rotate and moved from place 77 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: to place and all that. But we've seen or talked 78 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: about him kind of settling maybe more at the tackle 79 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: position and him working on the whole weight thing. And 80 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: that was a big thing this offseason where I heard 81 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: him talk about that so much, about you know, getting 82 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 1: the right weight and all that stuff. Now, are you 83 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: guys still like okay with the whole movement happening there 84 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: or would you rather just kind of figure these eyes, 85 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: get this guy's out and keep them or try to 86 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: keep them at a specific spot. Um. I think that's 87 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: the player would like to be at one spot, probably, 88 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: but you know, the flexibility of the position is good 89 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: for the team, you know, to have a guy that 90 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,239 Speaker 1: can do that. I think Randy Gregory is the reason 91 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: why Crawford went inside is because you know, they weren't 92 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: expecting him to do what he's doing, and maybe they 93 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: didn't expect Dorn's armstrong to be at that level either, 94 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: So it just made more sense with all the issues 95 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: that you had at tackle. But to answer your question, 96 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: I think he got his body weight to the point 97 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: to play defensive end and now he's an undersized tackle 98 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be that way. I mean, we can 99 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: talk about it too the blue in the face. After 100 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: a while, you just start to have to realize that 101 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: that's what that's their plan for Tyrone Crawford. They see 102 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: him as a hybrid player that they can move to 103 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: wherever they need him, and that's just the way and 104 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: he even said I heard him talking about it in 105 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: an interview last week. He was like, you know, at 106 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: some point, it's just sounded like you. And then the 107 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: question was asked him, would you like to be in 108 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: one place? He's like, well, yeah, probably, But he said, 109 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: also the fact matter is I'm a versatile player and 110 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: that's helped me have a career, and so I want 111 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: my coaches to be able to look at me and say, 112 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: I can they can put me wherever, and I'm gonna 113 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: be able to play it. And so that's the way 114 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: he has to look at it. So he's probably gonna 115 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: have to find at some point, if he's smart, he's 116 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: gonna have to find a weight that's kind of in 117 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: between that gives him the flexibility to play either one, 118 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: because as we've seen here already, every year, it can 119 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: be a different one based upon what they need. Yeah, 120 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: I hate it, that's his value. I hate it for Tyrone, 121 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: but that's life. And yeah, I mean there's worse things 122 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: than not having a permanent job on one position. You 123 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: could not have a job at all. So honestly, that 124 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: might be the reason why he makes the value. Like 125 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: people talk about, he doesn't have the sacks for the 126 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: money that he's being paid, but for the versatility. Might 127 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: be worth it to pay that kind of premium because 128 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: there aren't a lot of guys that can play both 129 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: those positions and jump between the two because there is 130 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: a size of difference. I think the world of Tyrone 131 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: Crawford as a guy, and I think he's better than 132 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: he gets credit for. But I'm not buying that. I 133 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think they would do that deal 134 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: again if they could go back in time. But because 135 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: you really think they got the production they expected, absolutely, 136 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: But how do they expect great production from a guy 137 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: to keep moving back and forth? Well, if he was 138 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: as great as they were expecting him to be at 139 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: three Technique, he wouldn't be moving back and forth. He 140 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: would be They'd be like, Yeah, he's our three Technique, 141 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: He's the guy that makes the whole show run. I mean, 142 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: that's that's why they did that. They were trying to 143 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: get ahead and hope that they struck big Kauwan Short. 144 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's why you pay that kind of money, 145 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: and which ironically Kawan Shorts deal is for twice as 146 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: much as what Tyrone got up, saying, I don't think, 147 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: which is that's why like people talk about it like 148 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: it's this terrible thing, like it's not that bad because 149 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: the cap keeps going up, guys keep out performing that 150 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: like he's not even close to being the most expensive 151 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: defensive tackle in football, which so I mean, it's not 152 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: a great deal, but it's not this team crippling problem 153 00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: that some people want to make it out. When you 154 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: go back and you think about which position has been 155 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: hit the hardest and come in terms of suspension, I 156 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: mean every year it's Irving for four or d Law 157 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: for four or Gregory for four, sixteen, twelve and four 158 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: or whatever he's got. And I mean he was four, ten, 159 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: then sixteen, okay, yeah, and then who knows if he's 160 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: done or not. I mean, and all and all that time, 161 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: and I mean not even that greg Hardy for six. 162 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: I mean, but through that whole time, Crawford's been playing 163 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: tackle and he's in and he's moving here, and so 164 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: I mean give him credit for that. And that's I 165 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: guess that's the point of what I'm saying, is why 166 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: I'm not so against the idea of the amount of 167 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: money that they're paying him, because he does have that 168 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: kind of versatility in an area where they've had so 169 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: much just turnover and these guys in and out. You know, 170 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: I really to be You don't hear a lot of 171 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the first time we've talked about 172 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: it in a while. Like I don't You don't hear 173 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people trying to get rid of him, 174 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: you know, the like Brandon Carr was the famous one. Like, 175 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: he's pretty good at his job, he's versatile, and the 176 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: money's nowhere near as bad as some people make it 177 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: out to be. So it's fine. He's one of those 178 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: glue kind of guys. Absolutely, he's good for the group. 179 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: He's good for the room, he's good for your team. 180 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: He's not going to be your best player, but he's 181 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: a good, solid player. But again that's the thing when 182 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: I think when you have players that are flexible to 183 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: have that position flex usually they're not gonna be great. 184 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: So one of the things, like with Tyrone, he is good. 185 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: He can get the job done in whether you like 186 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: it or not. You need those kinds of guys. And 187 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: the whole money thing. I don't mind to pay him. 188 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: He does a good enough job for us to keep it. 189 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: And especially because of the position flex and the quality. Yes, 190 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: it's not going to be a Hall of fame. When 191 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: you have some dogs out there like Tank Lawrence that 192 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: you put with him not makes it even better. You 193 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: need those kind of solid guys when you have some 194 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: really good players that you pair with him, and it's 195 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: something to watch. I really I'd be pretty surprised if 196 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: Daytona Jones can play two days after returning to practice, 197 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: and if Randy can't go. Yeah, I would probably play 198 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: Tyrone at end and then let Daniel Ross and Antoine 199 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: Woods figure it out. Next to Malie Collins would be 200 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: my guess we're gonna say. I was talking about Crawford. 201 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred percent sure that he's in the 202 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: best scheme for him. You know, he's in I think so. 203 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: I think, you know, for a guy that's kind of 204 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: a tweeter back and forth, I think he'd be a 205 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: three four defensive end and um, I think he'd be 206 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 1: a really good one. Um, but it is what it is. 207 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you keep making that argument that 208 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: they have the personnel close to the personnel that they 209 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: would need to Actually, he was drafted by the Cowboys 210 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: when Rob Ryan was the drafted to be a three 211 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: four guy. Yeah, and um so it was Kyle but yeah, 212 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: but but for some reason that didn't know, that didn't 213 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: work out for him. He was better in the four three. 214 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: But I think now is is he's gotten a little 215 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: bit bigger and quicker. I think I think he's still 216 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: three four. Yeah, I think this team's got three four personnel. 217 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: They ever went that way, I think they could. I 218 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: mean with talk about three four defense, we're going to 219 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: get into that a little bit. You've been used to 220 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: seeing the Giants in four three. That's gonna be weird 221 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: to watch, I think because you've been so used to 222 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: them having those dominant front four you know, yeah, rushers, 223 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 1: and now there are three four defense was you're gonna 224 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: look very different. I think I didn't know any of 225 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 1: their guys on defense. Yeah, man, I looked at their 226 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: depth chart. I was like, I don't know any of 227 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: these guys. It's yeah, it's it's a it's a different secondary, 228 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: and the secondary is pretty good. Yeah. Not another story. Yeah, 229 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: well we'll get into it. But before the inverse of 230 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: last week, before we move into that and we go 231 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: and break and all that, I wanted to talk about 232 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: Connor Williams. You oc and I know you wrote a 233 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: story and people I see people constantly asking about him 234 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: and whether he's good enough at the guard position, whether 235 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: he should move to tackle, blah blah blah. Now, one 236 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: of the things that I think we've all seen since 237 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: he's gotten here is his power. That he needs to 238 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,079 Speaker 1: work on his strength. Okay, yeah, that's gonna say. No. 239 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: When you say we've seen his power, I was like, yeah, 240 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: have we? But do you say yeah? He's like, so, 241 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: this is one of the things that I don't know 242 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: how much time you really need to get that strength 243 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: up to where you need it, but we'll see it. 244 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 1: But you got a chance to talk to him, and 245 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: I wanted to see his perspective on this issue. What 246 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: I wanted to I thought you were going to go 247 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: full a g right there and just be like it's 248 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: not good enough. No, I think I think he's an 249 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 1: amazing athlete. I'm not gonna go there. I think he 250 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: does like some strength, and maybe it's gonna take a while. 251 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: I don't think it happening very soon, because that is 252 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: something that needs time to build up. But at the 253 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: same time, he has one of the greatest things that 254 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: I like about him is that he comes back and 255 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: shows you improvement. You know, he comes back and shows 256 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: you that he is working on it. And that for me, 257 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: I'm happy with whoever is willing to improve and shows 258 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: you the effort to improve. Uh. Yeah, well, and I 259 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: did talk to Connor yesterday and he was telling a 260 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: bunch of us. I thought it was fine. I mean, 261 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: you know, you played for the Cowboys when thirty people 262 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: want to talk to the rookie guard, you know, like 263 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: that of doubt that happens in Jacksonville. But um, maybe now, 264 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: well maybe you get my point. Yeah, Cincinnati, Um, you don't. 265 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: You don't develop strength overnight. I mentioned this yesterday. It's 266 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: it's a very similar thing with Taco Charlton. Is just 267 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: you need like a year or more in an NFL 268 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: program to really work that type of him. Yeah, no, 269 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: and no A hundred and look how much better Taco 270 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: looked in Week one than he did. He played seventy 271 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: three percent of the snaps, had some legitimate pressures YadA, YadA, 272 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: and a and a pass deflection on Sunday. That look 273 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: at him too. Yeah, you look at guys between their 274 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: first and their second year that there's a marked difference 275 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: most of the time, and so guys up front, Connor 276 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: says yesterday, he's like, look, I'm not going to develop 277 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 1: super strength overnight. That's not how that works. I gotta 278 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: be flawless with my technique. And he wasn't on Sunday, 279 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: like he can be better from a technique standpoint. But 280 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: the thing I like about him is he's such a 281 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: good athlete that I think in a lot of the 282 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: matchups he's going to be in, that's going to help 283 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: him out. Like you're not going to overpower everybody. You're 284 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: certainly not going to overpower one of the best defensive 285 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: tackles in football. And that's okay. I really I don't 286 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: have this concern that a lot of other people do. 287 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: And I'm I don't listen to talking, but I bet 288 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: over on talking Cowboys. Brian's been saying the same thing 289 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: till he's blue in the face. Brian's been trying to 290 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: tell you about tell you that about Connor Williams since 291 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,239 Speaker 1: before he was drafted, Like he was a tackle in college. 292 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: He's not going to just dominate people off the line, 293 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: at least not as a rookie. We'll see what happens, 294 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: and before anyone comes back and says, well, Zach Martin, 295 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: did you know that's what people projected, and that they 296 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: projected that kind of of strength and fundamentals and all 297 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: that stuff that he's got. Was this technique for Zach. 298 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: That that's why he They could say, you know what, 299 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: he's going to make this transition without any issues at all, 300 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: and he didn't and he hasn't had any. Zack Martin 301 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: was also picked sixteenth overall in a draft that produced 302 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: a ton of amazing players. Like you go back and 303 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: look at twenty fourteen, it's nice Aaron Donald was in 304 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: that draft in a matter of four years. They're nice. Yeah, absolutely, 305 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: And and but even if you redrafted twenty fourteen, Zach 306 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: would probably go a lot higher. Even in the draft 307 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: that good Connor was the sixtieth overall pick. There's a 308 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: difference there. It's fine, Yeah, I mean may honestly, I'll 309 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: even allow like maybe Lyle would be better at guard 310 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: and Connor would be better at tackle right now, but likes, 311 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: that's that knee jerk type of stuff that I don't like. 312 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: Just stick to the plan and hey, I'll be the 313 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: first day Lyle Collins did not have a good game 314 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: on Sunday either, But it's way too early to be 315 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: shuffling your lineup because you didn't like the way they 316 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: looked against a really good defensive front. I think patience 317 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: is a virtue. All right, Let's take our first break, 318 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: and when we come back, can the Cowboys offense beat 319 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: the New York Giants defense? We'll see. It can be 320 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: hard to find the right resource for learning about important 321 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: financial matter.

It's the exfoliant 372 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: soap bar. That's what it does. It exfoliated. Yeah, but 373 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: this one, the other one I'm that I use like 374 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: it's the smell of it is like it's the greatest. 375 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 1: You wake up in the morning you smell it and 376 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I'm ready to go.

All right. Giants defense, Uh, 389 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: we talked about well, we're gonna get into it right now. 390 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: But in comparison to last week, this should be a 391 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: little easier for the Cowboys than the than the Panthers. Defense. 392 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: I'm not convinced it's gonna be easier. It's just gonna 393 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: be a different set of challenges. It's not you're this front, 394 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: which is funny because for so long that's what you 395 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: start with with the Giants as their front. I'm not 396 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: impressed other I mean the obvious. The obvious one is 397 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: Damon Snack's hair. And who's my favorite nickname in football. 398 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: He's he's a great quote too, like he's not afraid 399 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: to speak his mind. Oh yeah, And he's a great 400 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: defensive tackle. He's he's your nose in the three four. 401 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: He's the run stuffer, he's the guy you got to 402 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: account for. Probably, I don't think it's all gonna fall 403 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 1: on Connor Williams. But another thing to watch is just 404 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: how you deal with another dominant defensive tackle. But switching 405 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: to three four. The talent around him does not terrify me. 406 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: And actually it's funny that, you know, Nick was talking 407 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: about how the Cowboys maybe have the personnel to switch 408 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: to three four. I don't really see it because I 409 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: think the world of DeMarcus Lawrence. But I just don't 410 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: know that he's a guy that I want to put 411 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: in a three four and stand him up. Maybe I'm 412 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: may I That's just that's how I feel. Which Olivier 413 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: Vernon case in point. I know he played three four 414 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: in Miami. He sure was good with the Giants when 415 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: he was in a four to three. And we haven't 416 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: seen him, well, I was gonna get to that, we 417 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:58,959 Speaker 1: haven't seen him. We don't know what he looks like, 418 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: and hopefully it stay that way for one more week. 419 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: He didn't play against the Jags, and let's even say 420 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: he was going to be a dominant three four outside linebacker. 421 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 1: Without him, they don't have a lot else to work with. 422 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: The guys that are doing that right now are Kareem 423 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: Martin and Connor Barwin. Who Barwin is? He's all right. 424 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: He used to be a lot better. He was a 425 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: big money player with the Eagles a while back. Now 426 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: he's really more of just a journeyman. He was with 427 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: the Rams I think last year. And then a guy 428 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: to watch just for the future is fifty nine Lorenzo Carter. 429 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: My draft people will remember that name. He's an athletic freak, 430 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: but Georgia, Yeah, he's not. I don't really he's the one. 431 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 1: He's a combine freak and he showed some promise rushing 432 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: the passer, but I don't think he's ready to be 433 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: that guy yet. Along that same line, they got an 434 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: end named BJ Hill I think he came out of 435 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: North Carolina State who looks like he could be something. 436 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: And then Dalvin Tomlinson who took a defensive tackle job 437 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: for them in the four three out of Alabama, Alsam, Alabama, Alabama. 438 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: They got some talent there, but they're all they're not 439 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: established playmakers, which is what we've gotten used to seeing. 440 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: And then your linebackers alec Ogletree who they traded for 441 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: b J. Goodson and Ray Ray Armstrong. The thing with 442 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: the linebackers, and again this applies to the pass rushers 443 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: and the inside linebackers, is like there's talent here, I 444 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: don't know how much discipline there is. Like that was 445 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: always my thing with alec Ogletrees, Like he's super athletic. 446 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: He will sack the quarterback on a blitz or just 447 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: make a hilacious tackle when he diagnoses the playwright. But 448 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 1: like it doesn't seem like it happens on a consistent basis, 449 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: Like you're watching tape and you see tight ends and 450 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: wide receivers just get behind the linebackers on a routine basis. 451 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: Miss tackles on running plays especially, and the Jaguars love 452 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: the run the ball. They had Leonard Fournette for the 453 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: first little bit of the game, and then even with 454 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: t J. Yelden, you see guys getting picked up by blockers, 455 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: getting washed out of the play. I really like the Cowboys' 456 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: odds of having success there, even though to be fair, 457 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: Blake Bortles had a forty one yard keeper in this 458 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: game in Week one, which again goes back to my 459 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: thing about discipline, Like, maybe you talk about some misdirection. 460 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: We didn't see it from Dak and them on Sunday. 461 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: Maybe you incorporate that because I think you can get 462 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,719 Speaker 1: these guys to bite, especially with the focus that they 463 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: want to put on Zeke, because I just don't think 464 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: this is a discipline group. Having said that, without the 465 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: forty one yard keeper, they still limited the Jacks to 466 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: three point five yards per carry, But at the end 467 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: of the day, the Jacks had one hundred and fifty 468 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 1: rushing yards, So I think there's plays to be made there, 469 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: especially if you take advantage of their aggressive nature. Anyway, 470 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: I don't think the front seven is super special. The 471 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: back end scares me a little bit, mainly because of 472 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: Landon collins Um. He's scary man because I know he 473 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: plays safety. But the thing with him is, I think 474 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna spend this whole game in the box because 475 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: that's what he did against the Jags, Like he was 476 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: basically an extra linebacker. He's in between the linebackers, he's 477 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: over on the edge. He blitzed at least two or 478 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: three times, and he was just always down in the box. 479 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: And I really think it's gonna be his mission to 480 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: make Zeke a non factor. That's what he said, right, yeah, 481 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: and he's equipped to do it. He's a good tackler. 482 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: He's a smart player. I will say thing worth. I 483 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: think he's aggressive too, like these guys want to make plays. 484 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: One of Jacksonville's touchdowns, he chased in from the backside 485 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: on t J Yelden or excuse me, on the on 486 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: the read option. Would have had a tackle for a loss, 487 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 1: no doubt about it, except TJ. Elgin scored it out 488 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: to the edge and was completely on his own for 489 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 1: a pretty easy touchdown throw. So again, you can take 490 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: advantage of that aggressiveness. But having said that, you're just 491 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: talking about smash mouth running the ball right up the gut. 492 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be hard to do, especially with 493 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,719 Speaker 1: him in there. Um. Then you got Generis Jenkins. Obviously 494 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: we know all about him. I'm curious to see, Like 495 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 1: without a Dez Bryan on this team. I mean, there's 496 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: not a receiver that he's gonna gonna follow somebody every week. 497 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: The Cowboys, you would expect a team's just gonna play exactly. Um. 498 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: And then Eli Apple, against all odds, would have never 499 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: thought he'd still be on this team. But new coaching staff, 500 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,479 Speaker 1: I think they gave him a new chance. Looked all 501 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: right to me. Uh, starting nickel back on this team 502 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 1: is b W Webb. So Cole Beasley. Cole, Oh, he's 503 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: a cue. I didn't know that. Uh, Cole Beasley, it's 504 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: on you, big guy. Um. And then your free safety's 505 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: Curtis Riley, who plays. He's gonna be in Arlington to 506 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 1: use a nick, to use a nick. No, well, you're right, 507 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: he's gonna Yeah, he's gonna be He's gonna be at 508 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: six Flags over Texas while everybody else at the same. 509 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: But I'd never heard of him before he they got 510 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 1: him from Tennessee. He looked pretty good in this game, 511 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: like he's a willing hitter. He had a pass breakup, 512 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 1: and they I don't know that they play him back 513 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: there because he's a liability. I think they do it 514 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: because Landon Collins likes to freelance so much so these 515 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: back guys, Dad's gonna have his work cut out for him. Like, 516 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: I don't know how many easy throws are going to 517 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: be there for him, And if they are, I'm looking 518 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: at b W Web more so than the guys on 519 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: the outside. Last year, we were playing up there the 520 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: Meadowlands and we were about time to go down to 521 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: the field. It was about that point in the fourth 522 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: quarter and I remember packing our stuff up and walking 523 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: and looking at the TV. And Beasley had a really 524 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: big catch, like fifty yards and got down to about 525 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: the twenty and Landon Collins made the tackle and got 526 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: hurt and went out of the game. And this is 527 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: now we're at the elevator and we're about to go 528 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 1: in and with him out of the game, the very 529 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: next play, it was Jason Witten right down the seam touchdown. 530 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 1: It was the one play that Collins was out of 531 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: the game. They recognized it, saw it, you know. I 532 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 1: don't know who saw it or if it was just coincidence. 533 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: Whitten's open That was an RPO too, if I remember, 534 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: it was like kind of a read and pull and 535 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: was that one handed San Francisco. But it was after 536 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: like they had they were bad in the red zone 537 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: all day, like they'd kicked like three field goals and 538 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: then yeah, as soon as Collins went out and then 539 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: just exploded, oh no, go ahead. There wasn't another point 540 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: I was gonna make about that. I don't remember. I 541 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: just this is I mean, this is so it's football 542 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: one oh one, like it's obvious. But I don't want 543 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: to man up and just go mano a mano with 544 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: these guys like Snax Harrison. You don't want to do that. 545 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: These linebackers will be able to fill behind him. But 546 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: like I said, like I think that they're aggressive and 547 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: they want to make plays, and they clearly don't respect 548 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 1: Dak's ability to throw the ball, according to Landon Collins himself, 549 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: so and there's got to be some room for some 550 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: misdirection and fooling them and stuff like that. I just think, 551 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: I mean, if Blake Bortles can gain forty one yards 552 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: on a read option, keeper Dak should be able to 553 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: take advantage of that. Maybe he doesn't have a fifty 554 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: yard run, but about fifty yards over the course of 555 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: five or six carries. That sounds great to me. I 556 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: remember one time in training camp with Paul Alexander was talking. 557 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,959 Speaker 1: He didn't talk a lot to the media, but there 558 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: was one time where he was he was talking about 559 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: all his years in Cincinnati and having seen different schemes, 560 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 1: and he said, you know, every year we knew how 561 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: what a challenge it was to face Pittsburgh and to 562 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: face that three four scheme, and so you know, with 563 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: him in the offensive line and getting those guys ready 564 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: to face that, you know, I mean, when you coach 565 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: anywhere twenty seven years, you face a lot of teams, 566 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: but you know, for a franchise like Cincinnati, you know, 567 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 1: beating Pittsburgh and that game is always a big thing 568 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: for them and to go up against that, so you know, 569 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: every year they were great. And so all I'm saying is, 570 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: I think he's got good experience of facing different you know, 571 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: three four fronts and what they need to do with 572 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: that offensive line. But here's the interesting part about that. 573 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,239 Speaker 1: He may have the experience, and now your rookie has 574 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: to go well, I know, and I think That's the 575 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: part that concerns me a little bit because his only 576 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: experience in the NFL so far has been everyday at 577 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: practice against a four man front first week of the season. 578 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: Four man front is gonna be the first time he's 579 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: gonna have experience in the NFL against the three man 580 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: front front. I'm interested to see how different that is 581 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: for him and how much they can confuse him with 582 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: what they do, right. I mean, I knew Paul Alexander 583 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: had never played in any of those twenty seven years. 584 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying as a coach, he's getting his guys. Maybe 585 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: you guys, Big twelve teams are are running a three four. 586 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: You don't see it often. I don't I couldn't tell you, 587 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: but you don't see it a whole lot. I should 588 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: not in the Big twelve. You need a ton of 589 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: talent to run three four that I mean, which that's 590 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: probably why Alabama does it, and well LSU now too. 591 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: I always forget LSU runs. You guys go through yeah, 592 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: three four years ago. Um, but actually Arkansas a three four. 593 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: I mean, that's how many I think we might have 594 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: its three or four. The point it's going to be, 595 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: we're not talking about Arkansas. The point I wanted to 596 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: make is actually Jason Garrett talked to me about this yesterday, 597 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: which is that no three to four team exclusively runs 598 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: three four anyway like a lot of Carwin loves to 599 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: put his hand on the ground. I mean, you're gonna 600 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: see four man fronts, like I don't think it's gonna 601 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: look that much drastically different, to be honest with you. 602 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: But the personnel is a little bit different. Snacks will 603 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: be lined up a little bit differently than he would probably, 604 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: So that's the fun thing about three to four. It's 605 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: very multiple, which Rod Marinelli's scheme is so old school, 606 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: like you're always gonna have four down linemen at least 607 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: more maybe if they're running money forty four when it's 608 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: third and eighteen. But it's much more uniform than this 609 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: because you'll see five different alignments on five different snaps. 610 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: But I don't know. I like this again for the 611 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: fifth time. Damon Harrison's a beast, and he's gonna be 612 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: a handful. But if the Cowboys offensive line, even without 613 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: Travis Frederick, is remotely as good as we give it 614 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: credit for, they should have the upper hand against these linemen. 615 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: The thing that gives me pause, honest, Like Landon Collins 616 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: and Curtis Riley for that matter, like they like to blitz, 617 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: they'll put guys near the line of scrimmage to help 618 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: out with that. Like this is going to be a 619 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: big game for Zeke, maybe just as much as any 620 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: offensive lineman in terms of protecting the passer, because just 621 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: you know, bj Hill, Dalvin Tomlinson and Kareem Martin, I 622 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,959 Speaker 1: would hope are not going to be consistently whooping Tyrant 623 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: Smith and Lyle Collins. If that's happening, then that's a 624 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: whole different set of issues. I'll tell you this much. 625 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: I was watching Eli Apple and what I saw I 626 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: did not like for the Cowboys especially we all really 627 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: know that what's going on in the passing game, but 628 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: Apple's ability to follow the receiver and stay with him, 629 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: like he does not allow any separation and he's not 630 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: afraid to get his hand on the ball or push 631 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: you down or whatever he needs to do. So I'm 632 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: really concerned about their secondary when you put it added 633 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: to what the Cowboys passing games. News flash, this is 634 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: gonna be a recurring theme in the in the NFL 635 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: this year too, and the Cowboys have known that since May, 636 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: like Apple's probably gonna be They're gonna trust him man 637 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: up on whoever he's got. They're definitely gonna trust Genorris Jenkins. 638 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: They trust Land and Colins so much they're gonna send 639 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: him down into the box and just be like, figure 640 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: it out. Uh, it's gonna be crowded, And that's what 641 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, if you're just gonna line up and 642 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: try to just bulldoze this front, I don't think it's 643 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: gonna go back and either one of those guys that 644 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: you just mentioned those corners pop into the middle, I 645 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: mean pop into into the slot. Jenkins can. Jenkins can. 646 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: The reason why I asked that is because I believe 647 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: personally that the best receiving director that the Cowboys have 648 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: is Cole Beasley. I wonder how often teams will say, 649 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: our best guy can actually go in the slot and 650 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: follow Beasley if they wanted to follow someone, could they 651 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: do that? And would they be willing to commit today? 652 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if he will because the Giants don't 653 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: share their game plan. Was absolutely, but he I think 654 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: he could. Me personally, I'd trust him better than B. W. Webb. 655 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: Although it's not BW. Web might be a fine player today, 656 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just remember how not great he 657 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: was when he has a cowboy would you always call him? 658 00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: I didn't know. That was not me, that was rowing 659 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: Kavner called him burned whenever.

Back to the break, 700 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:18,320 Speaker 1: all right, given the Giants secondary, how much are the 701 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: Cowboys gonna have to rely on the running game? How 702 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 1: well can they run the ball? Are they gonna get 703 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 1: a moving this time? And how many times are we 704 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: gonna see sick eating out of the imaginary fake spoon 705 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 1: you can imaginary out of the imaginary bow? Right? Um? 706 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: I think I think yeah, I think they know that. 707 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: Are you guys? I mean, based on where we're at 708 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,439 Speaker 1: right now, are you is that your expectation at this point? 709 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: Do you really believe that it can get moving this time? 710 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,959 Speaker 1: I do think you can, because you know you're talking 711 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: about listening to what Dave saying. You know their question 712 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 1: marks they have on their defense is just how there's 713 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: just three four you know, front seven gonna line up? 714 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 1: How do they match up against the run and against 715 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 1: the what we still think to be a pretty good 716 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: run offense. So I think that the Cowboys have to 717 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 1: to you know, test them and early and often and 718 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: see if they can do it. And if they can 719 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: do it early in the game, see if they still 720 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: can do it, you know, as you keep wearing on 721 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: them throughout throughout the game. That's traditionally what a three 722 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 1: or four defense is. I mean, you can you can 723 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,320 Speaker 1: actually you know, overpower them if you if you have 724 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: the ability to do so. And I think the Cowboys 725 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 1: still do so. Yeah, I think they're gonna do it 726 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: a lot, get him established, and I think they'll have 727 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: a lot more success. News flash, Cowboys are not going 728 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: to be successful this year if they can't run the ball. 729 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 1: So I think this is an every week discussion from 730 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: the standpoint that if they can't get the running game going, 731 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 1: they haven't proven yet in my opinion, over the last 732 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: you go back, I don't know, eight nine games, they 733 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 1: haven't proven that when teams can stop them from running. Really, 734 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,839 Speaker 1: you go back even beyond that, because you go back 735 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 1: some of those games they played against the Giants in 736 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,919 Speaker 1: their in Jeke's rookie year, when they couldn't run the ball, 737 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,840 Speaker 1: they had a hard time moving the moving the offense, 738 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,800 Speaker 1: and they have a hard time scoring points. It happened 739 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,880 Speaker 1: against Minnesota, happened against Denver last year. We saw it 740 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 1: a lot towards the end of last year. We saw 741 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: it the first game of this year. Until they show 742 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,359 Speaker 1: me that in a game where they're having trouble moving 743 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 1: the ball on the ground, that they can still move 744 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 1: the offense and still score points. Right now, that's what 745 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 1: it seems like they are. So every week the discussion 746 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: is going to be is this defense good enough their 747 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: posing defense? Is it good enough to be able to 748 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 1: stop the Cowboys from running the ball? And if they are, 749 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: they have a good chance for success. That's basically all 750 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: they need to do to screw with the Cowboys, like 751 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: screw them up, Like as soon as you take that 752 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 1: element out of them, they freak and don't know what 753 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: to do, like they can't handle it. At some point, 754 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 1: at some point, I agree with you, at some point, 755 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: at some point, the Cowboys are gonna have to show 756 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 1: the league that they can pass their way out. And 757 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,439 Speaker 1: we don't know when that's gonna happen. If that's gonna happen, 758 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: they haven't been able to do that consistently at least 759 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 1: over the last little stretch. Really only one thing that 760 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: they need to do to kind of get that going. 761 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's playing and simple. It's the fleeflicker, you know, 762 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: just get you you you jest, But and I really 763 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,359 Speaker 1: it would be a play that would work for this team. 764 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: I who could get down there. Though I understand, you 765 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 1: gotta you gotta have your bread and butter plays. You 766 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 1: gotta run off tackle and off in the a gap. 767 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: Like I understand you have to do those things. But 768 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 1: like I hope that they're not stubborn enough to just 769 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 1: try to manoamano because I just have I have nightmares 770 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: of like Landon Collins chasing off the backside and tripping 771 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 1: Zeke up for one yard gain on a play that 772 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 1: might have gotten seven, and that adds up so uh 773 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 1: actually that if you go watch it, like the Giants 774 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 1: did a lot of this, Like they did a lot 775 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 1: of counters, a lot of they don't have an offensive 776 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,839 Speaker 1: line like some of se Quon Barkley's best runs were 777 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 1: where you get the whole line flowing one way and 778 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 1: then get Barkley going the other. Like just stuff like 779 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: that misdirection. I mean read option for the millionth time. 780 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,359 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it has to be every play, 781 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: but there needs to be an element of the unknown 782 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,919 Speaker 1: to where you're getting eight nine yards on a play 783 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: that you know the whole defense is going the wrong way. 784 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 1: That type of stuff to complement what you already do, 785 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: and I think hopefully that'll work better than what they 786 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 1: did last. There was a play and I have such 787 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,800 Speaker 1: a bad memory when it comes to like time and 788 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: why gaming was or what play was, but I remember 789 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 1: you seeing and this is not necessarily something that happens 790 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: very often, but the whole being on sync in the 791 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,319 Speaker 1: in tune with everybody else where. They ran this play 792 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: and everyone went to I think the left, and the 793 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: runner was supposed to go to the right or the receipt. 794 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 1: I don't even remember who it was. No, not this passe, 795 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,880 Speaker 1: not this recent game later ever whenever, I don't remember 796 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 1: it was. It wasn't that long ago. It was pretty soon. 797 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, the preseason. Whatever. The point is, they're 798 00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 1: supposed they have this play very well planned out that 799 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 1: would have worked perfectly, and it would have ended up 800 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 1: in a touchdown. Right there they were in the red 801 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: zone and they all went to the left when the 802 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,760 Speaker 1: player was supposed to go to the right obviously open, 803 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,879 Speaker 1: and he went alone to go into the left as well. 804 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 1: So just dumb mistakes. That's probably the player that's probably 805 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,279 Speaker 1: on the running back then, or the back I mean, 806 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 1: if everybody's going left and he went right. But that's 807 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,839 Speaker 1: the infuriating thing about football is like that's every play. 808 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 1: Like if you go back and watch that Carolina tape, 809 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: as bad as they look like, there's like six plays 810 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 1: where you're like, that's a thirty yard game if Dax 811 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 1: sees that, or if the ball's placed a little bit better, 812 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: or there was even one I think it was Jeff Schwartz, 813 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 1: the former offensive lineman. He did this whole breakdown, like 814 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 1: the first play of the game. If Lyell and Joe 815 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 1: Looney communicate a little bit better on their block, Zeke 816 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: had like an alley for maybe maybe a touchdown, but 817 00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 1: at least a chunk game. But it wasn't blocked right 818 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 1: and it went for a yard Like that's I mean, 819 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 1: that's the difference. It's and it's it's infuriating watching it 820 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 1: back and seeing what could have been. I mean, well, 821 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: to me, one of the most frustrating things. Watching the game, 822 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,479 Speaker 1: especially from the press box, you have an aerial view 823 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,839 Speaker 1: and we get to see it very clearly. Obviously, when 824 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,760 Speaker 1: you're on the field and you're actually playing at eye level, 825 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,839 Speaker 1: it's a different type of view. And when you see 826 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 1: certain people being open and stuff are you're like, oh 827 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 1: my god, he should have made that. Well. The view 828 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,919 Speaker 1: is completely different, right, And it's like when you watch 829 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: a karate or Karate kid or WWE or something that 830 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,920 Speaker 1: you watch a fight and then you think you get 831 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,440 Speaker 1: so fared up that you think you can do it 832 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: better than the person, and like you want to get 833 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,279 Speaker 1: in there and do it. That's what I want to 834 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,560 Speaker 1: do sometimes, get in there. I've sat next to Derek 835 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,720 Speaker 1: for years and he's always saying, well, I mean, receiver 836 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 1: was wide open. Like you know, from our spot, you 837 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 1: just see this receiver running in like that sounds good, 838 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,800 Speaker 1: and but who knows if the quarterback saw that. You know, 839 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 1: we see it because we're up high, but the quarterbacks 840 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: sometimes of what's in his face and all that. And 841 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 1: my retort to that usually is it's a it's there 842 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,439 Speaker 1: are some quarterbacks that when that happens, that the ball 843 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 1: gets there. So maybe it's just that the quarterback has 844 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,880 Speaker 1: to improve his acumen so that he knows where he 845 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,720 Speaker 1: expects the guy to get open and has the ability 846 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,879 Speaker 1: to have the awareness to see what that you're saying. 847 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 1: Some of these quarterbacks just make the throw without seeing it. 848 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that's it too, I don't know. All it's 849 00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,319 Speaker 1: rare when you're watching when Aaron Rodgers is in town, 850 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: it's very rare that you see just a wide open 851 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,799 Speaker 1: guy running down the field and he doesn't see that guy, 852 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:41,759 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, so I think there is there 853 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 1: may be something to what you're saying, But I think 854 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: there's also something to the idea that that means that 855 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 1: maybe you need to do a little bit more whatever 856 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: that is, to be able to give yourself a better vantage, 857 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 1: a better understanding, to be able to get it to well. 858 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: Beasley was wide open, I like says who I mean, 859 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: like nobody knew that, you know. I mean, that's he 860 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: gets overlooked sometimes, you know, when he's over the middle. 861 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,920 Speaker 1: That's that's part of it. But it is on the 862 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 1: quarterback too to move and laterally and get you know, 863 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,919 Speaker 1: find open lanes to throw and see. Yeah, and we're 864 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 1: gonna keep talking about that, hopefully things calm down, and 865 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,359 Speaker 1: the Cowboys win this game, and we can't start talking 866 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 1: about some positive things because one of the talk right 867 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 1: now is who's the next quarterback? When are we getting 868 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 1: ready to go there? If this game doesn't go the 869 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:31,840 Speaker 1: right way, the draft show questions next week. They're already 870 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 1: lining up, all right, well for Nickiman, Derek Eagleton, David Hellman, 871 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 1: I remember Garcia.
