<v Speaker 1>very happy, happy. Welcome back for the people today. Welcome

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>back from yesterday. I thought I missed the first segment.

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back, well back from yesterday. Thanky, Okay, so let's

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:52.239
<v Speaker 1>just jump right there we go. Thank you again. We

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 1>have a lot to talk about today. So before we

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>get into the Giants defense, wanted to hit up on

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>the practice report. A few guys that showed up on there,

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the Marcus Lawrence being one of them, did not practice

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 1>with a groin injury. As far as I know, this

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>is nothing to be concerned about, right, do you guys

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>know anything else? Further from that, it doesn't seem like

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>a big deal. He was out on the field just now.

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how much he's gonna do. But um,

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't get the impression this is a super big deal. Now,

0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Dak he practiced in full but did show up on

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:34.400
<v Speaker 1>the injury report with an ankle and people so you

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.320
<v Speaker 1>saw that on Twitter and started going crazy, at least

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:40.680
<v Speaker 1>on my timeline, you know already freaking out. What's gonna

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>happen if Dak is not ready? Who steps in? What's cheering?

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 1>It was a mixture of both. But I think I

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.559
<v Speaker 1>think the fact that he has um like a rap

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>on his ankle and he's in the locker room and

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>people see that, and then you know what's the issue,

0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>and he's still practiced with it. He's got something going

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>on that he needed to get it wrapped. I think

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>he's fine. Yeah. I feel like he's he's wrapped that

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 1>thing a few times, like going back to training camp.

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Stop funny stop, I mean Knox and bruises of football season.

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 1>He's fine. Yeah. Now, Randy Gregory, Xavier Woods, they are

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>still unable to practice, so it's still a pending status

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>for them, so injury rapport as of right now, it

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>looks pretty okay. Right. Can I just kind of just

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.359
<v Speaker 1>say this though, I mean, and you kind of intimated

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.239
<v Speaker 1>this earlier this week when you're talking about Randy Gregory, Like,

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, we've heard this before where players like I'm good,

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 1>like no, I'm I'm good, and they tweet I'm good.

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 1>But that protocol is still the protocol. And the fact

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:49.079
<v Speaker 1>that he's not practicing, if he's not practicing today, that's

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:50.920
<v Speaker 1>something to keep an eye on. I mean, there's a

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>we've seen it happen before where guy thought he was

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 1>good and he missed six weeks. Like those concussions are.

0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>There's it's a different world than what it was even

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.960
<v Speaker 1>five years ago when it comes to concussions in the NFL.

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>And I wonder to him, and I wonder they have

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.800
<v Speaker 1>got eight defensive linemen right on the on the team.

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Funny that you say that because Dayton Jones was at

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.640
<v Speaker 1>practice today. I don't know what he's gonna do. They

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:17.919
<v Speaker 1>don't let us watch that. But he was out there

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:21.119
<v Speaker 1>stretching and warming up, and he was feeling himself too,

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Like he was kind of dancing to the music. And

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm probably excited he was his injury to stop. Uh

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:33.919
<v Speaker 1>what was his Seriously, it's a song, dude, I think

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.600
<v Speaker 1>it was his growing right. Yeah, So I mean it's

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, him being in stretch line does not mean

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 1>he's going to play, but he's that's closer, working working back,

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>so we'll see so and that's defensive tackle position. Yeah, no,

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>that's your Crawford slides back to end. Maybe. I mean

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>they mixed these guys I know so much, and it's

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, but that's that's probably what they would do there.

0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>If Gregory is inactive and Daytone can play, then Crawford

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>will play more in and they could also go with

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>three defensive end three three defensive end rotation, right, they

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 1>don't have to have four, No, I have to But

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>that sounds scary, does it. Yeah? Seven guys, they're indoors

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>and not gonna open the roof. We're not doing that again.

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, No, Moving on from that, I just talk

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 1>on Crawford real quick. He I mean, obviously he's always

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.479
<v Speaker 1>been a guy that can rotate and moved from place

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>to place and all that. But we've seen or talked

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 1>about him kind of settling maybe more at the tackle

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 1>position and him working on the whole weight thing. And

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>that was a big thing this offseason where I heard

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 1>him talk about that so much, about you know, getting

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.039
<v Speaker 1>the right weight and all that stuff. Now, are you

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>guys still like okay with the whole movement happening there

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>or would you rather just kind of figure these eyes,

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.280
<v Speaker 1>get this guy's out and keep them or try to

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.279
<v Speaker 1>keep them at a specific spot. Um. I think that's

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the player would like to be at one spot, probably,

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>but you know, the flexibility of the position is good

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 1>for the team, you know, to have a guy that

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.239
<v Speaker 1>can do that. I think Randy Gregory is the reason

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>why Crawford went inside is because you know, they weren't

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:22.039
<v Speaker 1>expecting him to do what he's doing, and maybe they

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't expect Dorn's armstrong to be at that level either,

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 1>So it just made more sense with all the issues

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>that you had at tackle. But to answer your question,

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:34.840
<v Speaker 1>I think he got his body weight to the point

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:38.640
<v Speaker 1>to play defensive end and now he's an undersized tackle

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna be that way. I mean, we can

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 1>talk about it too the blue in the face. After

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 1>a while, you just start to have to realize that

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.599
<v Speaker 1>that's what that's their plan for Tyrone Crawford. They see

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.159
<v Speaker 1>him as a hybrid player that they can move to

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.479
<v Speaker 1>wherever they need him, and that's just the way and

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.159
<v Speaker 1>he even said I heard him talking about it in

0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>an interview last week. He was like, you know, at

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 1>some point, it's just sounded like you. And then the

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>question was asked him, would you like to be in

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 1>one place? He's like, well, yeah, probably, But he said,

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>also the fact matter is I'm a versatile player and

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.599
<v Speaker 1>that's helped me have a career, and so I want

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 1>my coaches to be able to look at me and say,

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I can they can put me wherever, and I'm gonna

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:17.599
<v Speaker 1>be able to play it. And so that's the way

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.240
<v Speaker 1>he has to look at it. So he's probably gonna

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 1>have to find at some point, if he's smart, he's

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to find a weight that's kind of in

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.160
<v Speaker 1>between that gives him the flexibility to play either one,

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 1>because as we've seen here already, every year, it can

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 1>be a different one based upon what they need. Yeah,

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 1>I hate it, that's his value. I hate it for Tyrone,

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>but that's life. And yeah, I mean there's worse things

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 1>than not having a permanent job on one position. You

0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 1>could not have a job at all. So honestly, that

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.240
<v Speaker 1>might be the reason why he makes the value. Like

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:48.039
<v Speaker 1>people talk about, he doesn't have the sacks for the

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.720
<v Speaker 1>money that he's being paid, but for the versatility. Might

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 1>be worth it to pay that kind of premium because

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 1>there aren't a lot of guys that can play both

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 1>those positions and jump between the two because there is

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 1>a size of difference. I think the world of Tyrone

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Crawford as a guy, and I think he's better than

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.720
<v Speaker 1>he gets credit for. But I'm not buying that. I

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:07.480
<v Speaker 1>don't think. I don't think they would do that deal

0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 1>again if they could go back in time. But because

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>you really think they got the production they expected, absolutely,

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>But how do they expect great production from a guy

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 1>to keep moving back and forth? Well, if he was

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 1>as great as they were expecting him to be at

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.480
<v Speaker 1>three Technique, he wouldn't be moving back and forth. He

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 1>would be They'd be like, Yeah, he's our three Technique,

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 1>He's the guy that makes the whole show run. I mean,

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 1>that's that's why they did that. They were trying to

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:32.000
<v Speaker 1>get ahead and hope that they struck big Kauwan Short.

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 1>That's I mean, that's why you pay that kind of money,

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 1>and which ironically Kawan Shorts deal is for twice as

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 1>much as what Tyrone got up, saying, I don't think,

0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 1>which is that's why like people talk about it like

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 1>it's this terrible thing, like it's not that bad because

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 1>the cap keeps going up, guys keep out performing that

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 1>like he's not even close to being the most expensive

0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 1>defensive tackle in football, which so I mean, it's not

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 1>a great deal, but it's not this team crippling problem

0:07:58.360 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 1>that some people want to make it out. When you

0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>go back and you think about which position has been

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 1>hit the hardest and come in terms of suspension, I

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 1>mean every year it's Irving for four or d Law

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 1>for four or Gregory for four, sixteen, twelve and four

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 1>or whatever he's got. And I mean he was four, ten,

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>then sixteen, okay, yeah, and then who knows if he's

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 1>done or not. I mean, and all and all that time,

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 1>and I mean not even that greg Hardy for six.

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but through that whole time, Crawford's been playing

0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 1>tackle and he's in and he's moving here, and so

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean give him credit for that. And that's I

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 1>guess that's the point of what I'm saying, is why

0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not so against the idea of the amount of

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>money that they're paying him, because he does have that

0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of versatility in an area where they've had so

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 1>much just turnover and these guys in and out. You know,

0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I really to be You don't hear a lot of

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is the first time we've talked about

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 1>it in a while. Like I don't You don't hear

0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people trying to get rid of him,

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, the like Brandon Carr was the famous one. Like,

0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.360
<v Speaker 1>he's pretty good at his job, he's versatile, and the

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.720
<v Speaker 1>money's nowhere near as bad as some people make it

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 1>out to be. So it's fine. He's one of those

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 1>glue kind of guys. Absolutely, he's good for the group.

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 1>He's good for the room, he's good for your team.

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>He's not going to be your best player, but he's

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 1>a good, solid player. But again that's the thing when

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I think when you have players that are flexible to

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.200
<v Speaker 1>have that position flex usually they're not gonna be great.

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 1>So one of the things, like with Tyrone, he is good.

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 1>He can get the job done in whether you like

0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 1>it or not. You need those kinds of guys. And

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the whole money thing. I don't mind to pay him.

0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>He does a good enough job for us to keep it.

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:39.840
<v Speaker 1>And especially because of the position flex and the quality. Yes,

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 1>it's not going to be a Hall of fame. When

0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:44.240
<v Speaker 1>you have some dogs out there like Tank Lawrence that

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.600
<v Speaker 1>you put with him not makes it even better. You

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:48.680
<v Speaker 1>need those kind of solid guys when you have some

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.079
<v Speaker 1>really good players that you pair with him, and it's

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:54.080
<v Speaker 1>something to watch. I really I'd be pretty surprised if

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Daytona Jones can play two days after returning to practice,

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 1>and if Randy can't go. Yeah, I would probably play

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Tyrone at end and then let Daniel Ross and Antoine

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Woods figure it out. Next to Malie Collins would be

0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 1>my guess we're gonna say. I was talking about Crawford.

0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not one hundred percent sure that he's in the

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 1>best scheme for him. You know, he's in I think so.

0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, for a guy that's kind of

0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 1>a tweeter back and forth, I think he'd be a

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 1>three four defensive end and um, I think he'd be

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:27.439
<v Speaker 1>a really good one. Um, but it is what it is.

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, you keep making that argument that

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 1>they have the personnel close to the personnel that they

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 1>would need to Actually, he was drafted by the Cowboys

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 1>when Rob Ryan was the drafted to be a three

0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 1>four guy. Yeah, and um so it was Kyle but yeah,

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 1>but but for some reason that didn't know, that didn't

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 1>work out for him. He was better in the four three.

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 1>But I think now is is he's gotten a little

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.320
<v Speaker 1>bit bigger and quicker. I think I think he's still

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.120
<v Speaker 1>three four. Yeah, I think this team's got three four personnel.

0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>They ever went that way, I think they could. I

0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>mean with talk about three four defense, we're going to

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 1>get into that a little bit. You've been used to

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 1>seeing the Giants in four three. That's gonna be weird

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.040
<v Speaker 1>to watch, I think because you've been so used to

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:11.160
<v Speaker 1>them having those dominant front four you know, yeah, rushers,

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.559
<v Speaker 1>and now there are three four defense was you're gonna

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 1>look very different. I think I didn't know any of

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.679
<v Speaker 1>their guys on defense. Yeah, man, I looked at their

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 1>depth chart. I was like, I don't know any of

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:24.120
<v Speaker 1>these guys. It's yeah, it's it's a it's a different secondary,

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 1>and the secondary is pretty good. Yeah. Not another story. Yeah,

0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.400
<v Speaker 1>well we'll get into it. But before the inverse of

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 1>last week, before we move into that and we go

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 1>and break and all that, I wanted to talk about

0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Connor Williams. You oc and I know you wrote a

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 1>story and people I see people constantly asking about him

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 1>and whether he's good enough at the guard position, whether

0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 1>he should move to tackle, blah blah blah. Now, one

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.400
<v Speaker 1>of the things that I think we've all seen since

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:57.160
<v Speaker 1>he's gotten here is his power. That he needs to

0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.079
<v Speaker 1>work on his strength. Okay, yeah, that's gonna say. No.

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.240
<v Speaker 1>When you say we've seen his power, I was like, yeah,

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.679
<v Speaker 1>have we? But do you say yeah? He's like, so,

0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.200
<v Speaker 1>this is one of the things that I don't know

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 1>how much time you really need to get that strength

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 1>up to where you need it, but we'll see it.

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.559
<v Speaker 1>But you got a chance to talk to him, and

0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to see his perspective on this issue. What

0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:24.840
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to I thought you were going to go

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 1>full a g right there and just be like it's

0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.080
<v Speaker 1>not good enough. No, I think I think he's an

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.559
<v Speaker 1>amazing athlete. I'm not gonna go there. I think he

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:36.920
<v Speaker 1>does like some strength, and maybe it's gonna take a while.

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it happening very soon, because that is

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.680
<v Speaker 1>something that needs time to build up. But at the

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 1>same time, he has one of the greatest things that

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I like about him is that he comes back and

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 1>shows you improvement. You know, he comes back and shows

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 1>you that he is working on it. And that for me,

0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy with whoever is willing to improve and shows

0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:03.560
<v Speaker 1>you the effort to improve. Uh. Yeah, well, and I

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.600
<v Speaker 1>did talk to Connor yesterday and he was telling a

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 1>bunch of us. I thought it was fine. I mean,

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, you played for the Cowboys when thirty people

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 1>want to talk to the rookie guard, you know, like

0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:16.280
<v Speaker 1>that of doubt that happens in Jacksonville. But um, maybe now,

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 1>well maybe you get my point. Yeah, Cincinnati, Um, you don't.

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>You don't develop strength overnight. I mentioned this yesterday. It's

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a very similar thing with Taco Charlton. Is just

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you need like a year or more in an NFL

0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 1>program to really work that type of him. Yeah, no,

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.680
<v Speaker 1>and no A hundred and look how much better Taco

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.000
<v Speaker 1>looked in Week one than he did. He played seventy

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.840
<v Speaker 1>three percent of the snaps, had some legitimate pressures YadA, YadA,

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.679
<v Speaker 1>and a and a pass deflection on Sunday. That look

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:47.680
<v Speaker 1>at him too. Yeah, you look at guys between their

0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.240
<v Speaker 1>first and their second year that there's a marked difference

0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.280
<v Speaker 1>most of the time, and so guys up front, Connor

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 1>says yesterday, he's like, look, I'm not going to develop

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.199
<v Speaker 1>super strength overnight. That's not how that works. I gotta

0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.160
<v Speaker 1>be flawless with my technique. And he wasn't on Sunday,

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.360
<v Speaker 1>like he can be better from a technique standpoint. But

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 1>the thing I like about him is he's such a

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.559
<v Speaker 1>good athlete that I think in a lot of the

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.559
<v Speaker 1>matchups he's going to be in, that's going to help

0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>him out. Like you're not going to overpower everybody. You're

0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.320
<v Speaker 1>certainly not going to overpower one of the best defensive

0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 1>tackles in football. And that's okay. I really I don't

0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 1>have this concern that a lot of other people do.

0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 1>And I'm I don't listen to talking, but I bet

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 1>over on talking Cowboys. Brian's been saying the same thing

0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 1>till he's blue in the face. Brian's been trying to

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.400
<v Speaker 1>tell you about tell you that about Connor Williams since

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:34.239
<v Speaker 1>before he was drafted, Like he was a tackle in college.

0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 1>He's not going to just dominate people off the line,

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:39.360
<v Speaker 1>at least not as a rookie. We'll see what happens,

0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:42.120
<v Speaker 1>and before anyone comes back and says, well, Zach Martin,

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 1>did you know that's what people projected, and that they

0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 1>projected that kind of of strength and fundamentals and all

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.280
<v Speaker 1>that stuff that he's got. Was this technique for Zach.

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>That that's why he They could say, you know what,

0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.440
<v Speaker 1>he's going to make this transition without any issues at all,

0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:00.920
<v Speaker 1>and he didn't and he hasn't had any. Zack Martin

0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:04.280
<v Speaker 1>was also picked sixteenth overall in a draft that produced

0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.920
<v Speaker 1>a ton of amazing players. Like you go back and

0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.960
<v Speaker 1>look at twenty fourteen, it's nice Aaron Donald was in

0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>that draft in a matter of four years. They're nice. Yeah, absolutely,

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.760
<v Speaker 1>And and but even if you redrafted twenty fourteen, Zach

0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 1>would probably go a lot higher. Even in the draft

0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:21.920
<v Speaker 1>that good Connor was the sixtieth overall pick. There's a

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:26.160
<v Speaker 1>difference there. It's fine, Yeah, I mean may honestly, I'll

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 1>even allow like maybe Lyle would be better at guard

0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 1>and Connor would be better at tackle right now, but likes,

0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 1>that's that knee jerk type of stuff that I don't like.

0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Just stick to the plan and hey, I'll be the

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:39.320
<v Speaker 1>first day Lyle Collins did not have a good game

0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday either, But it's way too early to be

<v Speaker 1>shuffling your lineup because you didn't like the way they

0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:46.960
<v Speaker 1>looked against a really good defensive front. I think patience

<v Speaker 1>is a virtue. All right, Let's take our first break,

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 1>and when we come back, can the Cowboys offense beat

<v Speaker 1>the New York Giants defense? We'll see. It can be

<v Speaker 1>Back to the break, Yeah, this year was now. I

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:05.159
<v Speaker 1>wanted to talk about this facebut over here it's just stuff.

0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:10.280
<v Speaker 1>It's actually good stuff. I use it exfoliant facial Energison.

0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:15.560
<v Speaker 1>So it's actually in French. So what does that mean?

0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:21.119
<v Speaker 1>Jason so Um, I don't know. You guys have used it.

0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. But if you're a man and you

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know what a face scrub is, you definitely need

0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:30.240
<v Speaker 1>it because a face needs to be exfoliated, no doubt.

0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.119
<v Speaker 1>I used the I use that charcoal soap bar that

0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I got today. Took a shower this morning. It's awesome.

0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.320
<v Speaker 1>The charcoal is not as good as the other soap

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.920
<v Speaker 1>bar though, the one that they do. It's the exfoliant

0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.520
<v Speaker 1>soap bar. That's what it does. It exfoliated. Yeah, but

0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.359
<v Speaker 1>this one, the other one I'm that I use like

0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:47.560
<v Speaker 1>it's the smell of it is like it's the greatest.

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:49.679
<v Speaker 1>You wake up in the morning you smell it and

0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:51.879
<v Speaker 1>it's like, oh, I'm ready to go. It's like it

0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:55.080
<v Speaker 1>wakes you up, your skin up and works you stuff.

0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.399
<v Speaker 1>I love the face buff. I like all their stuff.

0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:01.720
<v Speaker 1>That's good stuff, good deal, awesome. Um. What's their website,

0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Jack Jack Black. You can google it and you'll find

0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:09.560
<v Speaker 1>it very easily, but it is Get Jack Black dot com.

<v Speaker 1>Use the code word Cowboys and you can get a

0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:14.760
<v Speaker 1>special offer. They have a best special playmaker offer right now.

<v Speaker 1>You get four of their very famous, very the some

0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:21.040
<v Speaker 1>of their best stuff, plus the lip bomb which is

0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.439
<v Speaker 1>lip bomb is pretty good too, and you get all that.

0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.240
<v Speaker 1>If you just go to get Jack Black dot com.

0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:33.400
<v Speaker 1>You two have to code cowboys. All right. Giants defense, Uh,

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:36.560
<v Speaker 1>we talked about well, we're gonna get into it right now.

0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.320
<v Speaker 1>But in comparison to last week, this should be a

0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:43.800
<v Speaker 1>little easier for the Cowboys than the than the Panthers. Defense.

0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:46.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not convinced it's gonna be easier. It's just gonna

0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:50.240
<v Speaker 1>be a different set of challenges. It's not you're this front,

0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:52.560
<v Speaker 1>which is funny because for so long that's what you

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.679
<v Speaker 1>start with with the Giants as their front. I'm not

0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.840
<v Speaker 1>impressed other I mean the obvious. The obvious one is

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Damon Snack's hair. And who's my favorite nickname in football.

0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:05.359
<v Speaker 1>He's he's a great quote too, like he's not afraid

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:06.920
<v Speaker 1>to speak his mind. Oh yeah, And he's a great

0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:10.639
<v Speaker 1>defensive tackle. He's he's your nose in the three four.

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:12.600
<v Speaker 1>He's the run stuffer, he's the guy you got to

0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:17.359
<v Speaker 1>account for. Probably, I don't think it's all gonna fall

0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:19.880
<v Speaker 1>on Connor Williams. But another thing to watch is just

0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:23.800
<v Speaker 1>how you deal with another dominant defensive tackle. But switching

0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:29.080
<v Speaker 1>to three four. The talent around him does not terrify me.

0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:31.760
<v Speaker 1>And actually it's funny that, you know, Nick was talking

0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.120
<v Speaker 1>about how the Cowboys maybe have the personnel to switch

0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:37.879
<v Speaker 1>to three four. I don't really see it because I

0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:40.200
<v Speaker 1>think the world of DeMarcus Lawrence. But I just don't

0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:41.800
<v Speaker 1>know that he's a guy that I want to put

0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:44.439
<v Speaker 1>in a three four and stand him up. Maybe I'm

0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 1>may I That's just that's how I feel. Which Olivier

0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Vernon case in point. I know he played three four

0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:53.119
<v Speaker 1>in Miami. He sure was good with the Giants when

0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:55.200
<v Speaker 1>he was in a four to three. And we haven't

0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:57.480
<v Speaker 1>seen him, well, I was gonna get to that, we

0:20:57.520 --> 0:20:58.959
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen him. We don't know what he looks like,

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:01.240
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully it stay that way for one more week.

0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:04.880
<v Speaker 1>He didn't play against the Jags, and let's even say

0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:08.480
<v Speaker 1>he was going to be a dominant three four outside linebacker.

0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:11.439
<v Speaker 1>Without him, they don't have a lot else to work with.

0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:14.600
<v Speaker 1>The guys that are doing that right now are Kareem

0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Martin and Connor Barwin. Who Barwin is? He's all right.

0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 1>He used to be a lot better. He was a

0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:24.000
<v Speaker 1>big money player with the Eagles a while back. Now

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:27.159
<v Speaker 1>he's really more of just a journeyman. He was with

0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the Rams I think last year. And then a guy

0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:33.720
<v Speaker 1>to watch just for the future is fifty nine Lorenzo Carter.

0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:37.480
<v Speaker 1>My draft people will remember that name. He's an athletic freak,

0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:41.199
<v Speaker 1>but Georgia, Yeah, he's not. I don't really he's the one.

0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:45.199
<v Speaker 1>He's a combine freak and he showed some promise rushing

0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:47.359
<v Speaker 1>the passer, but I don't think he's ready to be

0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:51.120
<v Speaker 1>that guy yet. Along that same line, they got an

0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:54.399
<v Speaker 1>end named BJ Hill I think he came out of

0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:58.320
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina State who looks like he could be something.

0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:01.640
<v Speaker 1>And then Dalvin Tomlinson who took a defensive tackle job

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:07.240
<v Speaker 1>for them in the four three out of Alabama, Alsam, Alabama, Alabama.

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:11.440
<v Speaker 1>They got some talent there, but they're all they're not

0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:14.800
<v Speaker 1>established playmakers, which is what we've gotten used to seeing.

0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:19.720
<v Speaker 1>And then your linebackers alec Ogletree who they traded for

0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:24.000
<v Speaker 1>b J. Goodson and Ray Ray Armstrong. The thing with

0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:26.520
<v Speaker 1>the linebackers, and again this applies to the pass rushers

0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:29.600
<v Speaker 1>and the inside linebackers, is like there's talent here, I

0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:31.879
<v Speaker 1>don't know how much discipline there is. Like that was

0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:34.640
<v Speaker 1>always my thing with alec Ogletrees, Like he's super athletic.

0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:38.320
<v Speaker 1>He will sack the quarterback on a blitz or just

0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:42.920
<v Speaker 1>make a hilacious tackle when he diagnoses the playwright. But

0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:45.919
<v Speaker 1>like it doesn't seem like it happens on a consistent basis,

0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:48.879
<v Speaker 1>Like you're watching tape and you see tight ends and

0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:52.680
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers just get behind the linebackers on a routine basis.

0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Miss tackles on running plays especially, and the Jaguars love

0:22:57.280 --> 0:22:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the run the ball. They had Leonard Fournette for the

0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:00.879
<v Speaker 1>first little bit of the game, and then even with

0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 1>t J. Yelden, you see guys getting picked up by blockers,

0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:08.760
<v Speaker 1>getting washed out of the play. I really like the Cowboys'

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:12.040
<v Speaker 1>odds of having success there, even though to be fair,

0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:17.879
<v Speaker 1>Blake Bortles had a forty one yard keeper in this

0:23:18.080 --> 0:23:20.040
<v Speaker 1>game in Week one, which again goes back to my

0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:23.520
<v Speaker 1>thing about discipline, Like, maybe you talk about some misdirection.

0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:26.080
<v Speaker 1>We didn't see it from Dak and them on Sunday.

0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you incorporate that because I think you can get

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:31.719
<v Speaker 1>these guys to bite, especially with the focus that they

0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:35.520
<v Speaker 1>want to put on Zeke, because I just don't think

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:38.399
<v Speaker 1>this is a discipline group. Having said that, without the

0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:40.720
<v Speaker 1>forty one yard keeper, they still limited the Jacks to

0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:42.800
<v Speaker 1>three point five yards per carry, But at the end

0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:44.240
<v Speaker 1>of the day, the Jacks had one hundred and fifty

0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:46.919
<v Speaker 1>rushing yards, So I think there's plays to be made there,

0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:51.640
<v Speaker 1>especially if you take advantage of their aggressive nature. Anyway,

0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:54.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the front seven is super special. The

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:58.680
<v Speaker 1>back end scares me a little bit, mainly because of

0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Landon collins Um. He's scary man because I know he

0:24:03.800 --> 0:24:06.320
<v Speaker 1>plays safety. But the thing with him is, I think

0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:09.200
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna spend this whole game in the box because

0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:10.960
<v Speaker 1>that's what he did against the Jags, Like he was

0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:14.080
<v Speaker 1>basically an extra linebacker. He's in between the linebackers, he's

0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:16.560
<v Speaker 1>over on the edge. He blitzed at least two or

0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:20.040
<v Speaker 1>three times, and he was just always down in the box.

0:24:20.160 --> 0:24:22.520
<v Speaker 1>And I really think it's gonna be his mission to

0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:25.400
<v Speaker 1>make Zeke a non factor. That's what he said, right, yeah,

0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:30.480
<v Speaker 1>and he's equipped to do it. He's a good tackler.

0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:33.800
<v Speaker 1>He's a smart player. I will say thing worth. I

0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:36.639
<v Speaker 1>think he's aggressive too, like these guys want to make plays.

0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:40.240
<v Speaker 1>One of Jacksonville's touchdowns, he chased in from the backside

0:24:40.280 --> 0:24:43.200
<v Speaker 1>on t J Yelden or excuse me, on the on

0:24:43.280 --> 0:24:45.240
<v Speaker 1>the read option. Would have had a tackle for a loss,

0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:48.199
<v Speaker 1>no doubt about it, except TJ. Elgin scored it out

0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:50.480
<v Speaker 1>to the edge and was completely on his own for

0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:53.400
<v Speaker 1>a pretty easy touchdown throw. So again, you can take

0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:56.280
<v Speaker 1>advantage of that aggressiveness. But having said that, you're just

0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:58.680
<v Speaker 1>talking about smash mouth running the ball right up the gut.

0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it's gonna be hard to do, especially with

0:25:01.119 --> 0:25:05.719
<v Speaker 1>him in there. Um. Then you got Generis Jenkins. Obviously

0:25:05.800 --> 0:25:08.080
<v Speaker 1>we know all about him. I'm curious to see, Like

0:25:08.160 --> 0:25:10.120
<v Speaker 1>without a Dez Bryan on this team. I mean, there's

0:25:10.160 --> 0:25:14.800
<v Speaker 1>not a receiver that he's gonna gonna follow somebody every week.

0:25:14.840 --> 0:25:18.000
<v Speaker 1>The Cowboys, you would expect a team's just gonna play exactly. Um.

0:25:18.200 --> 0:25:21.600
<v Speaker 1>And then Eli Apple, against all odds, would have never

0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:24.119
<v Speaker 1>thought he'd still be on this team. But new coaching staff,

0:25:24.119 --> 0:25:26.479
<v Speaker 1>I think they gave him a new chance. Looked all

0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:29.840
<v Speaker 1>right to me. Uh, starting nickel back on this team

0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:36.439
<v Speaker 1>is b W Webb. So Cole Beasley. Cole, Oh, he's

0:25:36.480 --> 0:25:40.040
<v Speaker 1>a cue. I didn't know that. Uh, Cole Beasley, it's

0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 1>on you, big guy. Um. And then your free safety's

0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Curtis Riley, who plays. He's gonna be in Arlington to

0:25:46.840 --> 0:25:51.439
<v Speaker 1>use a nick, to use a nick. No, well, you're right,

0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:54.399
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna Yeah, he's gonna be He's gonna be at

0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:56.680
<v Speaker 1>six Flags over Texas while everybody else at the same.

0:25:56.880 --> 0:25:59.879
<v Speaker 1>But I'd never heard of him before he they got

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:02.400
<v Speaker 1>him from Tennessee. He looked pretty good in this game,

0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:04.720
<v Speaker 1>like he's a willing hitter. He had a pass breakup,

0:26:05.240 --> 0:26:07.640
<v Speaker 1>and they I don't know that they play him back

0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:09.440
<v Speaker 1>there because he's a liability. I think they do it

0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:13.440
<v Speaker 1>because Landon Collins likes to freelance so much so these

0:26:13.520 --> 0:26:15.800
<v Speaker 1>back guys, Dad's gonna have his work cut out for him. Like,

0:26:15.840 --> 0:26:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how many easy throws are going to

0:26:17.800 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 1>be there for him, And if they are, I'm looking

0:26:19.840 --> 0:26:21.639
<v Speaker 1>at b W Web more so than the guys on

0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:24.920
<v Speaker 1>the outside. Last year, we were playing up there the

0:26:25.480 --> 0:26:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Meadowlands and we were about time to go down to

0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the field. It was about that point in the fourth

0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:32.600
<v Speaker 1>quarter and I remember packing our stuff up and walking

0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:35.000
<v Speaker 1>and looking at the TV. And Beasley had a really

0:26:35.080 --> 0:26:38.520
<v Speaker 1>big catch, like fifty yards and got down to about

0:26:38.520 --> 0:26:41.159
<v Speaker 1>the twenty and Landon Collins made the tackle and got

0:26:41.240 --> 0:26:43.600
<v Speaker 1>hurt and went out of the game. And this is

0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:45.280
<v Speaker 1>now we're at the elevator and we're about to go

0:26:45.400 --> 0:26:47.880
<v Speaker 1>in and with him out of the game, the very

0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:52.040
<v Speaker 1>next play, it was Jason Witten right down the seam touchdown.

0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:54.159
<v Speaker 1>It was the one play that Collins was out of

0:26:54.160 --> 0:26:57.240
<v Speaker 1>the game. They recognized it, saw it, you know. I

0:26:57.280 --> 0:26:59.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know who saw it or if it was just coincidence.

0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Whitten's open That was an RPO too, if I remember,

0:27:02.280 --> 0:27:04.520
<v Speaker 1>it was like kind of a read and pull and

0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 1>was that one handed San Francisco. But it was after

0:27:09.240 --> 0:27:11.440
<v Speaker 1>like they had they were bad in the red zone

0:27:11.440 --> 0:27:13.560
<v Speaker 1>all day, like they'd kicked like three field goals and

0:27:13.640 --> 0:27:15.639
<v Speaker 1>then yeah, as soon as Collins went out and then

0:27:15.720 --> 0:27:19.280
<v Speaker 1>just exploded, oh no, go ahead. There wasn't another point

0:27:19.359 --> 0:27:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna make about that. I don't remember. I

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:25.280
<v Speaker 1>just this is I mean, this is so it's football

0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:28.240
<v Speaker 1>one oh one, like it's obvious. But I don't want

0:27:28.280 --> 0:27:30.399
<v Speaker 1>to man up and just go mano a mano with

0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:32.800
<v Speaker 1>these guys like Snax Harrison. You don't want to do that.

0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:35.680
<v Speaker 1>These linebackers will be able to fill behind him. But

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:38.480
<v Speaker 1>like I said, like I think that they're aggressive and

0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:41.159
<v Speaker 1>they want to make plays, and they clearly don't respect

0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:44.439
<v Speaker 1>Dak's ability to throw the ball, according to Landon Collins himself,

0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:47.960
<v Speaker 1>so and there's got to be some room for some

0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:51.240
<v Speaker 1>misdirection and fooling them and stuff like that. I just think,

0:27:51.320 --> 0:27:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if Blake Bortles can gain forty one yards

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:56.720
<v Speaker 1>on a read option, keeper Dak should be able to

0:27:56.760 --> 0:27:58.440
<v Speaker 1>take advantage of that. Maybe he doesn't have a fifty

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:01.359
<v Speaker 1>yard run, but about fifty yards over the course of

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:03.600
<v Speaker 1>five or six carries. That sounds great to me. I

0:28:03.640 --> 0:28:08.080
<v Speaker 1>remember one time in training camp with Paul Alexander was talking.

0:28:08.119 --> 0:28:09.959
<v Speaker 1>He didn't talk a lot to the media, but there

0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:11.840
<v Speaker 1>was one time where he was he was talking about

0:28:12.119 --> 0:28:15.560
<v Speaker 1>all his years in Cincinnati and having seen different schemes,

0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:18.199
<v Speaker 1>and he said, you know, every year we knew how

0:28:18.359 --> 0:28:21.399
<v Speaker 1>what a challenge it was to face Pittsburgh and to

0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:23.920
<v Speaker 1>face that three four scheme, and so you know, with

0:28:24.040 --> 0:28:26.400
<v Speaker 1>him in the offensive line and getting those guys ready

0:28:26.920 --> 0:28:29.080
<v Speaker 1>to face that, you know, I mean, when you coach

0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:31.080
<v Speaker 1>anywhere twenty seven years, you face a lot of teams,

0:28:31.119 --> 0:28:34.399
<v Speaker 1>but you know, for a franchise like Cincinnati, you know,

0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:37.679
<v Speaker 1>beating Pittsburgh and that game is always a big thing

0:28:37.800 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 1>for them and to go up against that, so you know,

0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:44.360
<v Speaker 1>every year they were great. And so all I'm saying is,

0:28:44.400 --> 0:28:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I think he's got good experience of facing different you know,

0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:48.840
<v Speaker 1>three four fronts and what they need to do with

0:28:48.920 --> 0:28:51.040
<v Speaker 1>that offensive line. But here's the interesting part about that.

0:28:51.160 --> 0:28:53.239
<v Speaker 1>He may have the experience, and now your rookie has

0:28:53.320 --> 0:28:55.240
<v Speaker 1>to go well, I know, and I think That's the

0:28:55.320 --> 0:28:58.320
<v Speaker 1>part that concerns me a little bit because his only

0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:00.960
<v Speaker 1>experience in the NFL so far has been everyday at

0:29:01.000 --> 0:29:03.920
<v Speaker 1>practice against a four man front first week of the season.

0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Four man front is gonna be the first time he's

0:29:05.760 --> 0:29:08.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna have experience in the NFL against the three man

0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:10.480
<v Speaker 1>front front. I'm interested to see how different that is

0:29:10.560 --> 0:29:12.720
<v Speaker 1>for him and how much they can confuse him with

0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:14.960
<v Speaker 1>what they do, right. I mean, I knew Paul Alexander

0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:16.920
<v Speaker 1>had never played in any of those twenty seven years.

0:29:16.960 --> 0:29:19.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying as a coach, he's getting his guys. Maybe

0:29:21.160 --> 0:29:24.440
<v Speaker 1>you guys, Big twelve teams are are running a three four.

0:29:25.440 --> 0:29:27.920
<v Speaker 1>You don't see it often. I don't I couldn't tell you,

0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:29.680
<v Speaker 1>but you don't see it a whole lot. I should

0:29:29.760 --> 0:29:31.240
<v Speaker 1>not in the Big twelve. You need a ton of

0:29:31.360 --> 0:29:33.600
<v Speaker 1>talent to run three four that I mean, which that's

0:29:33.640 --> 0:29:36.080
<v Speaker 1>probably why Alabama does it, and well LSU now too.

0:29:36.120 --> 0:29:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I always forget LSU runs. You guys go through yeah,

0:29:38.600 --> 0:29:42.320
<v Speaker 1>three four years ago. Um, but actually Arkansas a three four.

0:29:43.200 --> 0:29:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's how many I think we might have

0:29:45.320 --> 0:29:47.720
<v Speaker 1>its three or four. The point it's going to be,

0:29:47.880 --> 0:29:51.240
<v Speaker 1>we're not talking about Arkansas. The point I wanted to

0:29:51.440 --> 0:29:55.560
<v Speaker 1>make is actually Jason Garrett talked to me about this yesterday,

0:29:55.680 --> 0:29:58.840
<v Speaker 1>which is that no three to four team exclusively runs

0:29:58.880 --> 0:30:01.400
<v Speaker 1>three four anyway like a lot of Carwin loves to

0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:03.560
<v Speaker 1>put his hand on the ground. I mean, you're gonna

0:30:03.560 --> 0:30:06.240
<v Speaker 1>see four man fronts, like I don't think it's gonna

0:30:06.240 --> 0:30:08.360
<v Speaker 1>look that much drastically different, to be honest with you.

0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:11.360
<v Speaker 1>But the personnel is a little bit different. Snacks will

0:30:11.400 --> 0:30:13.840
<v Speaker 1>be lined up a little bit differently than he would probably,

0:30:15.080 --> 0:30:17.640
<v Speaker 1>So that's the fun thing about three to four. It's

0:30:17.760 --> 0:30:20.840
<v Speaker 1>very multiple, which Rod Marinelli's scheme is so old school,

0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:23.720
<v Speaker 1>like you're always gonna have four down linemen at least

0:30:23.760 --> 0:30:26.160
<v Speaker 1>more maybe if they're running money forty four when it's

0:30:26.200 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 1>third and eighteen. But it's much more uniform than this

0:30:29.320 --> 0:30:33.040
<v Speaker 1>because you'll see five different alignments on five different snaps.

0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:36.640
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know. I like this again for the

0:30:36.720 --> 0:30:38.920
<v Speaker 1>fifth time. Damon Harrison's a beast, and he's gonna be

0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:42.640
<v Speaker 1>a handful. But if the Cowboys offensive line, even without

0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Travis Frederick, is remotely as good as we give it

0:30:44.880 --> 0:30:48.440
<v Speaker 1>credit for, they should have the upper hand against these linemen.

0:30:48.840 --> 0:30:51.880
<v Speaker 1>The thing that gives me pause, honest, Like Landon Collins

0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:54.920
<v Speaker 1>and Curtis Riley for that matter, like they like to blitz,

0:30:55.320 --> 0:30:57.480
<v Speaker 1>they'll put guys near the line of scrimmage to help

0:30:57.520 --> 0:30:59.920
<v Speaker 1>out with that. Like this is going to be a

0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:02.120
<v Speaker 1>big game for Zeke, maybe just as much as any

0:31:02.200 --> 0:31:04.760
<v Speaker 1>offensive lineman in terms of protecting the passer, because just

0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:10.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, bj Hill, Dalvin Tomlinson and Kareem Martin, I

0:31:10.080 --> 0:31:12.959
<v Speaker 1>would hope are not going to be consistently whooping Tyrant

0:31:12.960 --> 0:31:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Smith and Lyle Collins. If that's happening, then that's a

0:31:16.320 --> 0:31:19.080
<v Speaker 1>whole different set of issues. I'll tell you this much.

0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I was watching Eli Apple and what I saw I

0:31:23.920 --> 0:31:26.600
<v Speaker 1>did not like for the Cowboys especially we all really

0:31:26.640 --> 0:31:28.840
<v Speaker 1>know that what's going on in the passing game, but

0:31:29.960 --> 0:31:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Apple's ability to follow the receiver and stay with him,

0:31:35.440 --> 0:31:38.120
<v Speaker 1>like he does not allow any separation and he's not

0:31:38.240 --> 0:31:40.400
<v Speaker 1>afraid to get his hand on the ball or push

0:31:40.480 --> 0:31:43.200
<v Speaker 1>you down or whatever he needs to do. So I'm

0:31:43.400 --> 0:31:48.600
<v Speaker 1>really concerned about their secondary when you put it added

0:31:48.680 --> 0:31:52.520
<v Speaker 1>to what the Cowboys passing games. News flash, this is

0:31:52.600 --> 0:31:55.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a recurring theme in the in the NFL

0:31:55.240 --> 0:31:57.760
<v Speaker 1>this year too, and the Cowboys have known that since May,

0:31:57.920 --> 0:32:01.120
<v Speaker 1>like Apple's probably gonna be They're gonna trust him man

0:32:01.280 --> 0:32:04.160
<v Speaker 1>up on whoever he's got. They're definitely gonna trust Genorris Jenkins.

0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:07.040
<v Speaker 1>They trust Land and Colins so much they're gonna send

0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:09.320
<v Speaker 1>him down into the box and just be like, figure

0:32:09.360 --> 0:32:12.360
<v Speaker 1>it out. Uh, it's gonna be crowded, And that's what

0:32:12.440 --> 0:32:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, Like, if you're just gonna line up and

0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 1>try to just bulldoze this front, I don't think it's

0:32:16.360 --> 0:32:17.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna go back and either one of those guys that

0:32:17.920 --> 0:32:19.960
<v Speaker 1>you just mentioned those corners pop into the middle, I

0:32:20.040 --> 0:32:23.680
<v Speaker 1>mean pop into into the slot. Jenkins can. Jenkins can.

0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:25.800
<v Speaker 1>The reason why I asked that is because I believe

0:32:25.880 --> 0:32:28.800
<v Speaker 1>personally that the best receiving director that the Cowboys have

0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:32.120
<v Speaker 1>is Cole Beasley. I wonder how often teams will say,

0:32:32.240 --> 0:32:34.400
<v Speaker 1>our best guy can actually go in the slot and

0:32:34.560 --> 0:32:37.920
<v Speaker 1>follow Beasley if they wanted to follow someone, could they

0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:39.760
<v Speaker 1>do that? And would they be willing to commit today?

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if he will because the Giants don't

0:32:41.880 --> 0:32:44.560
<v Speaker 1>share their game plan. Was absolutely, but he I think

0:32:44.600 --> 0:32:48.640
<v Speaker 1>he could. Me personally, I'd trust him better than B. W. Webb.

0:32:48.680 --> 0:32:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Although it's not BW. Web might be a fine player today,

0:32:53.200 --> 0:32:55.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I just remember how not great he

0:32:55.320 --> 0:32:57.440
<v Speaker 1>was when he has a cowboy would you always call him?

0:32:57.680 --> 0:32:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know. That was not me, that was rowing

0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Kavner called him burned whenever. Alright, let's take our second break,

0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:09.240

<v Speaker 1>a proud member of Cowboys Nation. Back to the break,

0:35:13.920 --> 0:35:18.320
<v Speaker 1>all right, given the Giants secondary, how much are the

0:35:18.480 --> 0:35:23.719
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys gonna have to rely on the running game? How

0:35:23.800 --> 0:35:26.359
<v Speaker 1>well can they run the ball? Are they gonna get

0:35:26.360 --> 0:35:28.360
<v Speaker 1>a moving this time? And how many times are we

0:35:28.400 --> 0:35:33.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna see sick eating out of the imaginary fake spoon

0:35:34.200 --> 0:35:39.239
<v Speaker 1>you can imaginary out of the imaginary bow? Right? Um?

0:35:39.840 --> 0:35:42.440
<v Speaker 1>I think I think yeah, I think they know that.

0:35:42.560 --> 0:35:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Are you guys? I mean, based on where we're at

0:35:45.600 --> 0:35:48.439
<v Speaker 1>right now, are you is that your expectation at this point?

0:35:48.520 --> 0:35:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Do you really believe that it can get moving this time?

0:35:51.440 --> 0:35:54.959
<v Speaker 1>I do think you can, because you know you're talking

0:35:55.000 --> 0:35:58.040
<v Speaker 1>about listening to what Dave saying. You know their question

0:35:58.120 --> 0:36:00.839
<v Speaker 1>marks they have on their defense is just how there's

0:36:00.880 --> 0:36:04.239
<v Speaker 1>just three four you know, front seven gonna line up?

0:36:04.280 --> 0:36:06.880
<v Speaker 1>How do they match up against the run and against

0:36:06.920 --> 0:36:08.880
<v Speaker 1>the what we still think to be a pretty good

0:36:08.960 --> 0:36:11.040
<v Speaker 1>run offense. So I think that the Cowboys have to

0:36:11.440 --> 0:36:14.160
<v Speaker 1>to you know, test them and early and often and

0:36:14.239 --> 0:36:15.400
<v Speaker 1>see if they can do it. And if they can

0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:17.279
<v Speaker 1>do it early in the game, see if they still

0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:18.960
<v Speaker 1>can do it, you know, as you keep wearing on

0:36:19.040 --> 0:36:21.960
<v Speaker 1>them throughout throughout the game. That's traditionally what a three

0:36:22.000 --> 0:36:24.719
<v Speaker 1>or four defense is. I mean, you can you can

0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:28.320
<v Speaker 1>actually you know, overpower them if you if you have

0:36:28.400 --> 0:36:30.160
<v Speaker 1>the ability to do so. And I think the Cowboys

0:36:30.200 --> 0:36:31.719
<v Speaker 1>still do so. Yeah, I think they're gonna do it

0:36:32.000 --> 0:36:34.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot, get him established, and I think they'll have

0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:38.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot more success. News flash, Cowboys are not going

0:36:38.080 --> 0:36:40.239
<v Speaker 1>to be successful this year if they can't run the ball.

0:36:40.520 --> 0:36:43.319
<v Speaker 1>So I think this is an every week discussion from

0:36:43.360 --> 0:36:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the standpoint that if they can't get the running game going,

0:36:46.239 --> 0:36:49.040
<v Speaker 1>they haven't proven yet in my opinion, over the last

0:36:49.640 --> 0:36:51.920
<v Speaker 1>you go back, I don't know, eight nine games, they

0:36:52.040 --> 0:36:54.839
<v Speaker 1>haven't proven that when teams can stop them from running. Really,

0:36:54.880 --> 0:36:56.839
<v Speaker 1>you go back even beyond that, because you go back

0:36:56.920 --> 0:36:59.719
<v Speaker 1>some of those games they played against the Giants in

0:36:59.760 --> 0:37:02.919
<v Speaker 1>their in Jeke's rookie year, when they couldn't run the ball,

0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:05.840
<v Speaker 1>they had a hard time moving the moving the offense,

0:37:06.000 --> 0:37:07.800
<v Speaker 1>and they have a hard time scoring points. It happened

0:37:07.800 --> 0:37:10.880
<v Speaker 1>against Minnesota, happened against Denver last year. We saw it

0:37:10.920 --> 0:37:12.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot towards the end of last year. We saw

0:37:12.640 --> 0:37:15.080
<v Speaker 1>it the first game of this year. Until they show

0:37:15.200 --> 0:37:18.359
<v Speaker 1>me that in a game where they're having trouble moving

0:37:18.400 --> 0:37:20.279
<v Speaker 1>the ball on the ground, that they can still move

0:37:20.520 --> 0:37:23.440
<v Speaker 1>the offense and still score points. Right now, that's what

0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:26.520
<v Speaker 1>it seems like they are. So every week the discussion

0:37:26.600 --> 0:37:28.600
<v Speaker 1>is going to be is this defense good enough their

0:37:28.680 --> 0:37:30.640
<v Speaker 1>posing defense? Is it good enough to be able to

0:37:30.680 --> 0:37:32.560
<v Speaker 1>stop the Cowboys from running the ball? And if they are,

0:37:33.320 --> 0:37:36.040
<v Speaker 1>they have a good chance for success. That's basically all

0:37:36.080 --> 0:37:39.480
<v Speaker 1>they need to do to screw with the Cowboys, like

0:37:39.880 --> 0:37:41.600
<v Speaker 1>screw them up, Like as soon as you take that

0:37:41.719 --> 0:37:44.279
<v Speaker 1>element out of them, they freak and don't know what

0:37:44.400 --> 0:37:46.600
<v Speaker 1>to do, like they can't handle it. At some point,

0:37:46.640 --> 0:37:49.239
<v Speaker 1>at some point, I agree with you, at some point,

0:37:49.560 --> 0:37:51.719
<v Speaker 1>at some point, the Cowboys are gonna have to show

0:37:51.760 --> 0:37:54.080
<v Speaker 1>the league that they can pass their way out. And

0:37:54.480 --> 0:37:56.439
<v Speaker 1>we don't know when that's gonna happen. If that's gonna happen,

0:37:56.480 --> 0:37:59.160
<v Speaker 1>they haven't been able to do that consistently at least

0:37:59.200 --> 0:38:01.759
<v Speaker 1>over the last little stretch. Really only one thing that

0:38:01.880 --> 0:38:03.520
<v Speaker 1>they need to do to kind of get that going.

0:38:03.719 --> 0:38:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's playing and simple. It's the fleeflicker, you know,

0:38:07.520 --> 0:38:14.160
<v Speaker 1>just get you you you jest, But and I really

0:38:14.360 --> 0:38:16.359
<v Speaker 1>it would be a play that would work for this team.

0:38:16.640 --> 0:38:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I who could get down there. Though I understand, you

0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:22.560
<v Speaker 1>gotta you gotta have your bread and butter plays. You

0:38:22.640 --> 0:38:25.520
<v Speaker 1>gotta run off tackle and off in the a gap.

0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Like I understand you have to do those things. But

0:38:27.840 --> 0:38:29.840
<v Speaker 1>like I hope that they're not stubborn enough to just

0:38:30.040 --> 0:38:35.080
<v Speaker 1>try to manoamano because I just have I have nightmares

0:38:35.120 --> 0:38:38.200
<v Speaker 1>of like Landon Collins chasing off the backside and tripping

0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Zeke up for one yard gain on a play that

0:38:40.719 --> 0:38:44.520
<v Speaker 1>might have gotten seven, and that adds up so uh

0:38:45.120 --> 0:38:47.560
<v Speaker 1>actually that if you go watch it, like the Giants

0:38:47.640 --> 0:38:48.880
<v Speaker 1>did a lot of this, Like they did a lot

0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:51.040
<v Speaker 1>of counters, a lot of they don't have an offensive

0:38:51.080 --> 0:38:53.839
<v Speaker 1>line like some of se Quon Barkley's best runs were

0:38:53.880 --> 0:38:55.759
<v Speaker 1>where you get the whole line flowing one way and

0:38:55.840 --> 0:38:58.440
<v Speaker 1>then get Barkley going the other. Like just stuff like

0:38:58.560 --> 0:39:02.080
<v Speaker 1>that misdirection. I mean read option for the millionth time.

0:39:02.600 --> 0:39:04.359
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not saying it has to be every play,

0:39:04.480 --> 0:39:07.040
<v Speaker 1>but there needs to be an element of the unknown

0:39:07.160 --> 0:39:09.919
<v Speaker 1>to where you're getting eight nine yards on a play

0:39:10.000 --> 0:39:12.520
<v Speaker 1>that you know the whole defense is going the wrong way.

0:39:12.600 --> 0:39:15.840
<v Speaker 1>That type of stuff to complement what you already do,

0:39:16.040 --> 0:39:18.799
<v Speaker 1>and I think hopefully that'll work better than what they

0:39:18.840 --> 0:39:21.560
<v Speaker 1>did last. There was a play and I have such

0:39:21.600 --> 0:39:23.800
<v Speaker 1>a bad memory when it comes to like time and

0:39:24.280 --> 0:39:26.920
<v Speaker 1>why gaming was or what play was, but I remember

0:39:26.960 --> 0:39:29.200
<v Speaker 1>you seeing and this is not necessarily something that happens

0:39:29.280 --> 0:39:32.560
<v Speaker 1>very often, but the whole being on sync in the

0:39:33.200 --> 0:39:36.319
<v Speaker 1>in tune with everybody else where. They ran this play

0:39:36.760 --> 0:39:40.600
<v Speaker 1>and everyone went to I think the left, and the

0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:43.560
<v Speaker 1>runner was supposed to go to the right or the receipt.

0:39:43.560 --> 0:39:46.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't even remember who it was. No, not this passe,

0:39:47.120 --> 0:39:50.880
<v Speaker 1>not this recent game later ever whenever, I don't remember

0:39:51.080 --> 0:39:53.440
<v Speaker 1>it was. It wasn't that long ago. It was pretty soon.

0:39:53.800 --> 0:39:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, the preseason. Whatever. The point is, they're

0:39:57.080 --> 0:40:01.200
<v Speaker 1>supposed they have this play very well planned out that

0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:03.920
<v Speaker 1>would have worked perfectly, and it would have ended up

0:40:04.000 --> 0:40:06.160
<v Speaker 1>in a touchdown. Right there they were in the red

0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:10.040
<v Speaker 1>zone and they all went to the left when the

0:40:10.120 --> 0:40:12.760
<v Speaker 1>player was supposed to go to the right obviously open,

0:40:13.000 --> 0:40:15.879
<v Speaker 1>and he went alone to go into the left as well.

0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:20.200
<v Speaker 1>So just dumb mistakes. That's probably the player that's probably

0:40:20.239 --> 0:40:22.279
<v Speaker 1>on the running back then, or the back I mean,

0:40:22.360 --> 0:40:25.040
<v Speaker 1>if everybody's going left and he went right. But that's

0:40:25.400 --> 0:40:28.839
<v Speaker 1>the infuriating thing about football is like that's every play.

0:40:29.040 --> 0:40:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Like if you go back and watch that Carolina tape,

0:40:32.160 --> 0:40:35.120
<v Speaker 1>as bad as they look like, there's like six plays

0:40:35.160 --> 0:40:37.279
<v Speaker 1>where you're like, that's a thirty yard game if Dax

0:40:37.280 --> 0:40:39.440
<v Speaker 1>sees that, or if the ball's placed a little bit better,

0:40:39.640 --> 0:40:42.160
<v Speaker 1>or there was even one I think it was Jeff Schwartz,

0:40:43.280 --> 0:40:46.480
<v Speaker 1>the former offensive lineman. He did this whole breakdown, like

0:40:46.600 --> 0:40:50.680
<v Speaker 1>the first play of the game. If Lyell and Joe

0:40:50.800 --> 0:40:53.799
<v Speaker 1>Looney communicate a little bit better on their block, Zeke

0:40:53.880 --> 0:40:56.600
<v Speaker 1>had like an alley for maybe maybe a touchdown, but

0:40:56.680 --> 0:41:00.239
<v Speaker 1>at least a chunk game. But it wasn't blocked right

0:41:00.280 --> 0:41:02.120
<v Speaker 1>and it went for a yard Like that's I mean,

0:41:02.200 --> 0:41:05.400
<v Speaker 1>that's the difference. It's and it's it's infuriating watching it

0:41:05.520 --> 0:41:07.960
<v Speaker 1>back and seeing what could have been. I mean, well,

0:41:08.040 --> 0:41:11.520
<v Speaker 1>to me, one of the most frustrating things. Watching the game,

0:41:11.600 --> 0:41:14.479
<v Speaker 1>especially from the press box, you have an aerial view

0:41:14.760 --> 0:41:17.839
<v Speaker 1>and we get to see it very clearly. Obviously, when

0:41:17.920 --> 0:41:21.760
<v Speaker 1>you're on the field and you're actually playing at eye level,

0:41:22.120 --> 0:41:24.839
<v Speaker 1>it's a different type of view. And when you see

0:41:24.960 --> 0:41:27.440
<v Speaker 1>certain people being open and stuff are you're like, oh

0:41:27.520 --> 0:41:29.759
<v Speaker 1>my god, he should have made that. Well. The view

0:41:29.880 --> 0:41:32.919
<v Speaker 1>is completely different, right, And it's like when you watch

0:41:33.000 --> 0:41:39.680
<v Speaker 1>a karate or Karate kid or WWE or something that

0:41:39.760 --> 0:41:41.920
<v Speaker 1>you watch a fight and then you think you get

0:41:41.960 --> 0:41:43.440
<v Speaker 1>so fared up that you think you can do it

0:41:43.520 --> 0:41:45.480
<v Speaker 1>better than the person, and like you want to get

0:41:45.560 --> 0:41:47.279
<v Speaker 1>in there and do it. That's what I want to

0:41:47.320 --> 0:41:49.560
<v Speaker 1>do sometimes, get in there. I've sat next to Derek

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:52.720
<v Speaker 1>for years and he's always saying, well, I mean, receiver

0:41:52.880 --> 0:41:55.200
<v Speaker 1>was wide open. Like you know, from our spot, you

0:41:55.280 --> 0:41:57.759
<v Speaker 1>just see this receiver running in like that sounds good,

0:41:57.840 --> 0:42:01.800
<v Speaker 1>and but who knows if the quarterback saw that. You know,

0:42:02.239 --> 0:42:04.840
<v Speaker 1>we see it because we're up high, but the quarterbacks

0:42:04.880 --> 0:42:07.520
<v Speaker 1>sometimes of what's in his face and all that. And

0:42:07.640 --> 0:42:11.279
<v Speaker 1>my retort to that usually is it's a it's there

0:42:11.320 --> 0:42:14.439
<v Speaker 1>are some quarterbacks that when that happens, that the ball

0:42:14.520 --> 0:42:17.319
<v Speaker 1>gets there. So maybe it's just that the quarterback has

0:42:17.440 --> 0:42:20.880
<v Speaker 1>to improve his acumen so that he knows where he

0:42:21.040 --> 0:42:23.720
<v Speaker 1>expects the guy to get open and has the ability

0:42:23.800 --> 0:42:25.879
<v Speaker 1>to have the awareness to see what that you're saying.

0:42:25.920 --> 0:42:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Some of these quarterbacks just make the throw without seeing it.

0:42:28.840 --> 0:42:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Maybe maybe that's it too, I don't know. All it's

0:42:32.640 --> 0:42:35.319
<v Speaker 1>rare when you're watching when Aaron Rodgers is in town,

0:42:35.360 --> 0:42:37.600
<v Speaker 1>it's very rare that you see just a wide open

0:42:37.640 --> 0:42:39.799
<v Speaker 1>guy running down the field and he doesn't see that guy,

0:42:40.040 --> 0:42:41.759
<v Speaker 1>you know. I mean, so I think there is there

0:42:41.840 --> 0:42:43.640
<v Speaker 1>may be something to what you're saying, But I think

0:42:43.640 --> 0:42:46.680
<v Speaker 1>there's also something to the idea that that means that

0:42:46.760 --> 0:42:48.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe you need to do a little bit more whatever

0:42:48.760 --> 0:42:51.200
<v Speaker 1>that is, to be able to give yourself a better vantage,

0:42:51.440 --> 0:42:53.239
<v Speaker 1>a better understanding, to be able to get it to well.

0:42:53.280 --> 0:42:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Beasley was wide open, I like says who I mean,

0:42:55.560 --> 0:42:58.480
<v Speaker 1>like nobody knew that, you know. I mean, that's he

0:42:58.600 --> 0:43:01.560
<v Speaker 1>gets overlooked sometimes, you know, when he's over the middle.

0:43:01.600 --> 0:43:03.920
<v Speaker 1>That's that's part of it. But it is on the

0:43:04.000 --> 0:43:06.759
<v Speaker 1>quarterback too to move and laterally and get you know,

0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:09.919
<v Speaker 1>find open lanes to throw and see. Yeah, and we're

0:43:10.000 --> 0:43:12.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna keep talking about that, hopefully things calm down, and

0:43:13.160 --> 0:43:16.359
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys win this game, and we can't start talking

0:43:16.360 --> 0:43:19.120
<v Speaker 1>about some positive things because one of the talk right

0:43:19.160 --> 0:43:22.000
<v Speaker 1>now is who's the next quarterback? When are we getting

0:43:24.760 --> 0:43:26.840
<v Speaker 1>ready to go there? If this game doesn't go the

0:43:26.960 --> 0:43:31.840
<v Speaker 1>right way, the draft show questions next week. They're already

0:43:31.920 --> 0:43:36.160
<v Speaker 1>lining up, all right, well for Nickiman, Derek Eagleton, David Hellman,

0:43:36.239 --> 0:43:38.560
<v Speaker 1>I remember Garcia. This has been the break on Dallas

0:43:38.600 --> 0:43:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys dot Com Radio. This has been a production of

0:43:44.800 --> 0:43:48.279
<v Speaker 1>Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
