For 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:31.640 those of you who don't get that reference, go watch 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.720 our show yesterday he went through his fears of bears. 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.840 But we're having a ton of fun here and looking 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.920 at this Seattle matchup, and I just mentioned it. We're 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.959 gonna go through offense ve defense today. We flippedlop that 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.040 yesterday and we talked about the Seattle offense and the 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.480 Cowboys defense. But there's been some things that have changed 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.160 over the last twenty four hours, and there's been some 0:01:56.200 --> 0:02:00.400 concerns that have popped up amongst that Cowboys defense. Rob 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:05.000 I saw an injury report yesterday Trayvon Diggs, our corner 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.000 that Isaiah said, Hey, we're gonna have to put him 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.320 on DK Metcalf, one of the best deep threats in 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:14.120 the NFL, And well, he's on the injury report with 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:18.360 the shoulder. What's the insider information on Trayvon Diggs? And 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:23.280 is this something we should start panicking about in the secondary. 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:26.640 I don't know if it's panic, but how many corners 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:30.320 can wind up on the injury reports slash ir My goodness, man, 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.000 we just found out after the show that chio Use 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.760 is out for multiple weeks with that hamstring injury that 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:41.200 he had on special teams laid in the game against Atlanta. 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.560 They just got Jordan Lewis back, and right as he 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.720 gets back, Anthony Brown hurts his ribs in practice at 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.280 the end of the week and is on IR for 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:53.800 a minimum three weeks. And now, yes, Trayvon Diggs is 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.680 on the injury report. He was at practice the early 0:02:57.760 --> 0:02:59.520 part of practice. I'm not sure if he was really 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:04.000 doing anything because he didn't practice, And you know what 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:05.839 I'm the vibe I'm getting is I don't I don't 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:07.799 think it's time to panic here. I think, look, he 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.880 played all seventy five snaps in the game, and I 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.320 don't think there's a ton of concern at this point. 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:15.560 We'll talk to Mike mccarthur here in a little bit 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.600 and see, but obviously it's something they're trying to be 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.680 mindful of, and it may have something to do with 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.760 as many injuries as they've already got back there. If 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.040 he's got a little something, let's just try to make 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:27.760 sure he gets through the week and gets to the game. 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:36.880 Sound the alarm because it's rough, man, it is rough, 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.480 and it sucks, and I have I've said it before 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.280 for those that are experiencing any kind of injuries are 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.680 hurdles that they have to overcome. I feel for you. 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:48.000 I've been there entirely too many times, so I understand 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:52.160 explicitly what you are dealing with. However, as an organization, 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.880 sounding alarm because you don't have the depth that you 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.920 need to handle these defensive I mean, these these receivers 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.880 at Seattle's about to bring at you. I mean, goodness, gracious, 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.240 I'm sorry for the for the dog on training staff 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.720 here because I know they're frustrated. But a rookie, a 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:14.080 rookie high high, rookie draft pick, uh, not practicing on 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:20.680 a Wednesday. It's not what happens, Okay. You practice every day. 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.200 You only get three real days of practice, and two 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.040 of them are with paths typically. I don't even know 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:26.720 what the rules have changed now, But back in the day, 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.080 two days were pass. One day was was a fast. 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.640 You know, we call it up Temple Fast Fridays and 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.520 then Saturdays will walk through. If you're missing one day 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.679 a practice of like the real practice, which is Wednesday, 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.440 your preparation day. Then you're hurt, You're you're you're hurt, right, 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.039 You're not, You're not, You're You're dealing with something that's 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.480 gonna be that kid could affect you in this game 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:51.400 potentially um and then the news achieved being gone goodness gracious, 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.080 that's what everybody in Cowboys Nation was relying on to 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.560 really anchor these defensive backfield going into this week's game. 0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.880 So if you're going into to the game with your 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:06.799 best defensive back being a injured Diggs or b Anthony Brown, 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:12.279 I don't know. I don't know now it was that, 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.239 it was that, it was that mystery meat feeling. Again. 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.080 I didn't when I saw Trade Bun things his name 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.440 on the injury report, and I hadn't heard anything at all. 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:26.279 Rob hadn't reported it. Kyle, you didn't say anything about it. 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.480 So when I saw him show up on the injury report, 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.599 with Cheeto being out for multiple weeks and what we're 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.080 going through at the court end of the secondary, this 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.960 just isn't the time to have it because when you 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.800 look down the schedule at the receivers that we've got 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.919 coming on the horizon. This is a rough patch to 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.599 have your guys on ir or out for a couple 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:51.279 of weeks or just laboring. Yeah you look at yeah. Now, 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.719 I was just gonna say, with these injuries, understands what this? 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.280 What this does to you? Okay, Cowboys Nation. When you're 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.560 injured and you were short under you, you don't have 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.480 that much depth at a certain posis such as cornerback. Right, 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.920 the situation that we're currently in as a defensive coordinator 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.039 might only he wants to get to all his blitzes. 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:08.640 He wants to get to single high. He wants to 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.960 press you, he wants to start doing all these crazy things. 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.599 Guess what, now, you can't because you don't have the 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.360 person nail. You can't afford to lose any more personnel. 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:20.600 So what do you do? Well, you become really chill, right, 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.839 you become really conservative. You go back to a nice 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.359 too high zone. And guess what, you can't do that 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.040 when there's a dog on dude name by the name 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.960 of Carson in the backfield for Seattle, you just can't. 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:35.720 So this puts an entire defense at risk of being exposed, 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.839 and it sucks. You brought up a really good point about, 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:43.080 you know, the practice day and getting that work. I mean, 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:44.800 he's the second round here, he's a rookie. He needs 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:46.520 all the work he can get. I think there's a 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.760 may very well be where he's fine by Sunday. But 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.799 you know, today is a huge day if they follow 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.400 the same schedule that they've been following, because they usually 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:59.000 go longer in practice on Thursday, and they don't, they 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.919 don't practice Friday. They've got kind of a regeneration day. 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.680 Let guys recover from the week and then have a 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.279 short deal on Saturday. This is the last real heavy 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.320 work of the week, and so it'll be interesting to 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.800 see if he's out there today, because you're right, I mean, 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:14.520 a young player needs to be out there and getting 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.720 prep especially for a team of this quality, and those 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.760 are crucial because the reps that you're getting previously were 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.880 against Julio Jones, Robert Woods and Cooper Cup and the 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.560 reps that even if you're healthy. Moving into the next 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.320 couple of weeks, here's the next the next couple of matchups, 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:33.400 just the next two matchups for the Cowboys, DK Metcaf, 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.600 Tyler Lockett, Jarvis, Landry, Odell Beckham, junior. Those are on 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.280 your schedule the next two weeks. Also, I'm going to 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:40.800 worry about if you want to go. If you want 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:42.400 to go two weeks down the line, we'll skip the 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.760 Giants for now because Sterling Shepherd's banged up and they 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.200 don't really have a wide receiving corps anyways. Then you 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.040 will skip a week six. Then you got DeAndre Hopkins 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:54.640 Larry Fitzgerald on your schedule, so you have to get healthy. 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.280 These corners need to come back because right now, and 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:00.720 I know we've used a lot of PF grades this week, 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.160 but it tells the story pretty well. But if you 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.880 look at the lowest grades of three corners throughout the 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.680 Atlanta game on Pro Football Focus, the lowest was Trayvon 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.560 Diggs at a forty seven. Jordan Lewis was next with 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.120 a forty nine, and then you had Darryl Worley with 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.880 a fifty seven. And if Diggs is healthy, those are 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.400 your three guys, those are your three starting corners right 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.960 now for the Cowboys, because there's no Cheeto, there's no 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:27.720 Anthony Brown, and really that's what you're working with. If 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.720 not if Trayvon Diggs isn't healthy, you're probably going to 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.720 Brandon Carr, who you really brought into to hopefully play safety. 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.880 He's gonna end up playing corner like he did previously 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.119 during his stint with the Dallas Cowboys. So's it's worrisome, 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.559 But Rob whenever you're actually I'm gonna go to Isaiah 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.480 on this one. But Isaiah, whenever you're dealing with an injury, 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:51.760 specifically in Trayvon Diggs case, where it's a shoulder and 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.240 you're a defender, we saw him last year with Jeff Heath. 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.600 It's not necessarily an easy thing to rehab when your 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:02.560 job is to hit somebody. Yeah, and I would like 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.760 to know. And obviously we won't find out what type 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:06.800 of shoulder injury he's had because I've had a ton 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:08.760 of them, right, I've tore my labor m three times. 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.040 That was my first two major injuries I had here 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.800 when I was in Dallas. But shoulders suck. So think 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:17.679 about it from a large corner perspective, which he is, right, 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.760 Diggs as a large frame corner and larger corners. Their 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:26.120 advantage is being what being physical, Right, They're not necessarily 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.840 always gonna be the fastest. Diggs isn't necessarily the fastest corner. 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.559 They're out there, okay, but he wants to get more 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:35.960 physical with you. So going against another physical receiver presents 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:39.120 problems because he has to go against DK Metcalf, who's 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.480 six four two twenty five. He runs a four three 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.360 three by the way, He's a physical specimen in terms 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.480 of being strong. So this presents a problem because not 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:51.680 only kid Mike Nolan not be aggressive on defense. Now 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.880 all of a sudden, you have to be conservative in 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:57.680 the secondary with your coverage. And if you and now 0:09:57.760 --> 0:09:59.800 you can't even come get your hands on a player 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.560 who who runs a little four to three, that presents 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.679 a major problem. It's not a good look. Right now. 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.360 I'm not worried about them, well, I want don't say 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:13.040 that I'm worried about the DK. The DK Metcalf match 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.840 up with Diggs is one that gives me a little 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.480 bit of pause. His speed, his size, everything about DK Metcalf. 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:21.360 But when you go back and you look at the 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.640 tape and you know that these guys have seen each 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.840 other in the sec before, Diggs has had that matchup 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.960 and you handled them pretty well. Now that's obviously Alabama 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.160 old miss that we're looking at. Next tape from three 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.200 years ago, but still we have some tape to see 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:38.599 these ship guys against each other. But Dk metcalf is 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.560 a physical specimen. Diggs is gonna have his hands filled. 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:43.880 They're gonna give him help over the top. You know 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.760 that's gonna be there. And so the worry really for 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.559 me is on the other side with Tyler Lockett, because 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:54.520 Tyler Lockett is who Russell Wilson wants in those individual battles, 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.920 and Jordan Lewis is gonna have to win his battle 0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:00.280 last week didn't wasn't a good look for George Lewis, 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.320 and I'm sure he would admit the same thing. And 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.360 so they're just certain parts of our defense. And now 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.320 with car coming in being that, I don't know if 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.320 he's just in a nickel situation, but we're gonna have 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.480 to have these guys play at a high level because 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:18.480 right now for Seattle, they're where they are is priority 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.360 number one is throw the ball, and that's where they're 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.040 going to keep us in that in that Nickel packet, 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.200 it's pretty much the whole game. I disagree with you 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.760 on that one, heck I And to my point yesterday, 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.640 Seattle is not to throw the ball first offense. I 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:34.560 don't I don't care how back for our history you go, 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.520 I don't care if each just going off to the numbers, right, 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:40.400 we're going off the numbers right now. And yeah, okay, 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.200 as first is what they're doing. So I still believe, 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.719 even though the stats show differently, right because I'm not 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.520 a big stats guy, they're at a they're a run 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.840 first team in nature. Now, if the run sets up 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:53.080 for them to be able to start throwing the ball 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:54.800 a little bit more than so be it. But they 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:58.319 cannot do what they do on offense without it without 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.920 initiating the run right and establish to run. And while 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.120 we're talking about receivers, we're talking about DK and we're 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:08.080 talking about Lockett. Don't forget David Moore more beast. He's 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.319 six foot two fifteen and he catches the ball. He 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:12.840 got six catches for seventy six yards and a touchdown 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.480 and through two games. Let's not disrespect them, man. So 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.600 you also have that there to say, now Dallas gets 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:20.320 to catch a break, they catch a break a little bit. 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:24.520 And the fact that um that Dorset is now going 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:26.800 on ir because that would have really presented a problem. 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.360 But more is still a respectable receiver that they cannot 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.880 look past more. They've used him. They used him I 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:33.440 think on a jet sweep or at least a fake 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.600 jet sweep some of that misdirection stuff that where you 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.240 bring Wilson's legs and the ability to run into it. 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.000 And they've got a rookie Freddie Swayne who caught touchdown 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.880 passed last week. They've got they've got more depth, it 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.440 looks like than we think they do. So yeah, I 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.040 mean the matchups with the corners are huge. I think 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.200 the Cowboys and Kyle spoke to it. They least have 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.920 some some numbers in terms of worlies. Started games at 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.880 corner are obviously a started games at corner if they 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:03.960 need it. But you don't want to have to reach 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:05.920 too deep in the bag obviously, and you've been playing 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:09.160 those two guys at corner all right safety, so you know, 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.320 you'd like to have have some kind of you know, 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:15.480 rotation established and get something going there. It's gonna come 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.600 down to pressure and try and we talked we talked 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:21.120 about Russ all all yesterday and Isaiah made a great 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.880 point about that that interior rush too, because you don't 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:25.760 want to allow him to be able to step up 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.360 in the pocket, either run or step up and throw 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.920 and give him, you know, because he has a shorter quarterback, 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.200 give him an opportunity to really step into his throw. 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:38.240 That's huge as well, So Don Terry Poe and Crawford 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.280 and Antoine Woods. It's a big games to him, Hill, 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.600 Tristan Hill, Course, Triste, Yeah, big game for them. Yep. 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.720 And whenever you look at back to talking about that 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.360 corner back spine, that's why you went and got got 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.840 those veterans. That's why you went and secured a guy 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.439 like Brandon car and a guy like Daryl Worley. Is 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:59.840 so that way you your your floor is higher. You're 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.520 ceiling may not be as high at the cornerback spot, 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.840 but your floor is higher than it would be if 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.360 you're you're having to throw some rookies or younger guys 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.680 out there. But there are some rookies in younger guys 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:11.960 that are waiting in the wings. Reggie Robinson, who's been 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.319 inactive the first two weeks of the season. You've got 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.360 to Chris Westry. That's out there, rob But if you're 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.720 looking at either one of those guys or maybe even 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.880 some of these other practice squad caliber players. Is there 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.720 anyone that sticks out to you that could potentially get 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.720 moved up and play an active role. Yeah, I don't. 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:31.000 I don't know. I don't know if they're to that 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.200 point yet. I think we got we gotta we gotta see, 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.080 we gotta see what's up with Diggs. I think there's 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.560 there's a chance he'll be fine for this game. Um, 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:42.360 but I think what really is happening potentially even with 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:46.520 even if it's just Cheeto U and Anthony Brown, what 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.040 what Mike McCarthy has said all through camp is going 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.360 to be put to the test here where you need 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.880 all your guys in the secondary and you don't necessarily 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:55.800 play one position. You gotta be ready to come in 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:59.280 and play multiple spots. And we may we may really 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:02.360 see that with some veterans that they brought in, uh, 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:04.880 that that are kind of cross training at different spots. 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.880 It's you know, they don't really it's all about position 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:10.000 flex and they may really have to use it here 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.760 in the next few weeks. We say they don't. Don't 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.840 ease up. Now, man, last week we wanted to throw 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:16.880 digs to the Wolves. Now let's look ahead and throw 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:22.040 Robinson out there. Let him learn. No, no, no, that's 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:26.640 a that's on the team right now. Dog, that's cool. 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.800 That's a completely different player, Isaiah, that's a completely different players. 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.840 We talk about we talk about two rounds. That's it. Yeah, 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:40.760 there's a lot of difference between two rounds, a lot 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:44.560 of different guy Dudu And they moved him to safety too. 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:46.400 He really I don't know how much corner he's really 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:50.400 been working at ye. So yeah, your point's well taken. 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.640 But to Rob's point as well, we mentioned it in 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:57.480 the off season. We mentioned the fact of the word 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.920 of the year will be hybrid, and the Mic Noel 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.640 defense it's going to be hybrid, and that's exactly what 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.000 the corners and the safeties have been throughout the season. 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.440 Interchangeable another one of those words, and we're gonna see 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.880 just how interchangeable they are if we're gonna see some 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:14.520 flip flopping this week, and hopefully the Cowboys can get 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.400 something going and some healthy bodies into that secondary because 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.760 they're gonna need it against Russell Wilson when we come back. 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.280 You're on talking Cowboys. I promise we'll get to that 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:26.360 that Cowboys offense versus Seattle defense talk. Dak Prescott had 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.000 four and fifty yards last week. I think Ezekiel Elliott 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:30.800 could have one hundred and fifty this week. I'll tell 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.840 you why when we come back.

It's a Thursday 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:45.880 edition of Talking Cowboys. Week three, Episode four. Glad you're 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:49.399 with us on Dallas Cowboys dot com, and there's a 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.800 little bit of breaking news to report here on Talking 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:55.280 Cowboys as Adam Schefter has twittered the to the world, 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.720 twittered out there and tweeted and whatnot, and he is uh. 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.240 He has reported that this Seattle Seahawks, the team that 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.800 the Dallas Cowboys will be playing this week in are 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:08.080 gonna have a visit from mister Snacks Harrison at the 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:12.480 defensive tackle spun. Now good news for Cowboys fans. It's 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:15.600 twenty twenty, and because of twenty twenty, you can't necessarily 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.680 play that quickly. So Cowboys aren't gonna have to worry 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:22.240 about snacks Harrison. But some other teams earlier are coming 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.280 up on the Seattle schedule might have to worry about 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:27.760 snacks Harrison coming up there in just a bit. But 0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:30.879 there's another interesting wrinkle, and we're gonna talk about that 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:34.040 Seattle defense. And I teased going into the break that 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.640 I think Zeke is due for a huge game. I said, 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:39.159 one hundred and fifty yards. He's had one hundred and 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:42.320 twenty plus all purpose yards in each of the first 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:44.480 two weeks. I think he could do that. He might 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:46.439 even reach a hundred on the ground again for the 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:50.159 first time this season, So I think he's due for 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:52.240 a big game. And it's really because of the defensive 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:56.200 line for Seattle. I'm not necessarily impressed with them. Much 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:59.600 like the Cowboys have had a lot to be desired 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:01.320 on the de defensive line. I think Seattle is the 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:04.080 same way. They don't necessarily pressure a whole lot. They 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:06.520 don't really do that much in the run defense. But 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:08.480 I want to see what you guys think about it. Heckma, 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:11.479 is this a game where Ezeki Elliot's gonna be the 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.560 bell Cow and he's gonna be able to surpass the 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:20.320 triple digit mark again? Kyle, Yes, and I'm hoping that 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:23.840 he's twenty five plus carries in this game. But no 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:26.320 matter what, man, I'm just gonna play Captain obvious here 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:28.440 and just say we can't fumble the ball five times 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:33.720 and give up twenty points. I think that that's gonna 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:35.840 set us up for success if we don't have to 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:38.480 do that. But that's the way that that's the way 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:41.880 that the Cowboys have to go into Seattle looking at 0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:46.440 this game, and Dak is gonna have to rely heavily 0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:49.199 on that Bell cow running back Zeke is gonna have 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:52.360 to eat a whole lot and also be in that 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:55.720 be a big part of the passing game. Look, Seattle's 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:59.040 defense isn't what it used to be. Right, you would 0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:01.560 go to Seattle and the whole legion of Boom talking 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:03.760 the twelfth Man, But we don't have to deal with 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:07.280 the twelfth Man and those decibel levels, and we definitely 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:09.520 don't have to deal with this the legion of Boom. 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:11.760 But for the Cowboys, it's gonna have to be those 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:15.280
