I'm like, 37 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 5: I got a bum toe, I got a bum knee, 38 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 5: I got a bum ham string, I gotta bum lower back. 39 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 5: Like it's just like everything is breaking down. I'm like, 40 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 5: that's what age does. Yeah, but I ain't stopping. I'm 41 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 5: gonna keep going. I'm gonna keep going. To the wheels 42 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 5: fall off. 43 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 8: When you get up off the bed and it sounds 44 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 8: like somebody's making popcorn. 45 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 2: Everything starts popping. 46 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 8: Ankle pop twice, the knee pops you stretch, and the 47 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 8: backs that pop pop pop is like, okay, over written boker, 48 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 8: but it's better than the alternative. 49 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: Exactly. 50 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 7: Well. Your is good, your rib is good, your you 51 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 7: know spring Yeah, yeah, you keep up with your running and. 52 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 2: Everybody still running eighty miles a morning. 53 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 7: I can't do that. And I'm earlier than you. 54 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 5: So I think that's gonna end. At some point my 55 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 5: body is starting to say, man, running stuff, you might 56 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 5: want to try biking, you know, Yeah, biking is fun. 57 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 5: It's all right, let's jump in. We got a lot 58 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 5: to talk about today. We're gonna talk about Detroit defense 59 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 5: versus the Cowboys offense. Before we get to that, though, 60 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,839 Speaker 5: let's catch up on some injury updates. We've got three 61 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 5: guys that want to talk about Tyron Smith who did 62 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 5: not practice with a back injury, to Manydoga who has 63 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 5: a toe injury had limited participation yesterday, and then Rico 64 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 5: Dada with an ankle injury he did not practice. What 65 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,119 Speaker 5: are we hearing about those three? 66 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 8: I think Rico is going to be hard pressed to 67 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 8: play against the Lions. I mean, he only had two 68 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 8: handoffs for four yards. I think the ankle injury that 69 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 8: he's been managing for the past several weeks, I want 70 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 8: to say two months at least, is really kind of 71 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 8: catching up with him. And I think they're at the 72 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 8: point where they're looking at maybe shut him down a 73 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 8: little bit so that try to. 74 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: Help him heal up for the playoffs. 75 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 8: I think that gives you Elie Davis for his third 76 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 8: and final elevation for the regular season, so look for 77 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 8: that to be a thing. Like you said, Derek, he 78 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 8: didn't practice rico on yesterday. We'll see if he does today, 79 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 8: but I doubt it because he was downgraded yesterday to meydoga, 80 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 8: like you said, popped up with a toe injury. Limited. 81 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 8: I don't think that this is something that will hold 82 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 8: him out. But again today being the Thursday practice technically 83 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 8: for I day, we'll see how it goes. With the designations. 84 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 8: Jonathan Hankins, we talked about him yesterday. There is some 85 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 8: optimism there, but if I'm a betting man, I don't 86 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 8: bet that he plays. I'd be pleasantly surprised if he does. 87 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 8: Malie Cooker good news. Upgraded from limited to full with 88 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 8: his ankle injury, so he's back to full health or 89 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 8: damn near it. 90 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: So that's a good stuff. That's good stuff. Hunter. 91 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 8: LOOKI also upgraded with his thigh issue from limited to full. 92 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 8: Zach Martin had a rest day Tyrone Smith DNP, which 93 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 8: is did not participate again. I don't know that I 94 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 8: put too much stock in that simply because he's on 95 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 8: quote unquote the plan. So whether it was the back 96 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 8: issue or him not practicing any way, because that's the 97 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 8: course that they have him on. I don't know that 98 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 8: he would have participated, so it makes it hard to 99 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 8: determine where he is in the process. But they're at 100 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 8: least mostly optimistic that he'll play. But we'll see, maybe 101 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 8: sixty forty and well, let's go. He was activated yesterday 102 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 8: in that transaction that replaced Rashaan Evans, So I do 103 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 8: want to point out for the Lions though, Taylor Decker 104 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 8: they're starting left tackle. He was down from limited on 105 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 8: Tuesday too, did not participate on Wednesday with a growing injury, 106 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 8: So they have an issue at left tackle, maybe something 107 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 8: the Cowboys can exploit. We'll see, but that's a big 108 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 8: one to look at for Detroit, if. 109 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 5: My memory serves correct. Yesterday, Brian and we were talking 110 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 5: about the line's offense. You were saying that left side 111 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 5: had some problems anyway. Is that is this worsening it 112 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 5: or was Taylor Decker part of the problem. 113 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 3: He's part of the problem too. I mean, yeah, you know, 114 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 3: he's a very good athlete, but the problem with him 115 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 3: he's not very strong. And you got a couple of 116 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: guys on your defensive line that are really good and 117 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: they go speed to power, and that's where I think 118 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 3: that the you know, he's talking about the growing injury 119 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 3: with him. We'll see if in fact that he does 120 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 3: play in this game, but that was going to be 121 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 3: a spot I was going to attack anyway with him 122 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 3: in the lineup or out of the lineup. I'm still 123 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 3: going that direction. 124 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 5: That should be an interesting matchup for the Cowboys. And 125 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 5: as you said, like I really believe this game is 126 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 5: going to come down to the two offenses in how 127 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 5: well they can operate. So if there's a way to 128 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 5: be able to affect their passing game or the running game, 129 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 5: I think that's going to be a for the Cowboys. 130 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 3: All right, let's jump in. 131 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 5: Let's talk a little bit about this this Detroit defense, 132 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 5: and Brian, I'm gonna start again where I started yesterday. 133 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 5: I want to get a big picture look, and I 134 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 5: really want to do this because this is not an 135 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 5: opponent that the Cowboys necessarily face often. I want to 136 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 5: make your fans have a good overview of where they are. 137 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 5: Tell me what they do best and what they struggle 138 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 5: the most at when it comes to their defense. 139 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 3: Well, Dak loves playing him. I think he's four and 140 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 3: ohero in his career against these guys, so when he 141 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 3: does see him, you know, that's a positive there. I 142 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 3: think the best thing they do on defense is their 143 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 3: ability to affect you with linebacker pressure rush in the passer. 144 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 3: This is we saw last week the problems that the 145 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 3: Cowboys had dealing with the linebackers and the blitz They 146 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,679 Speaker 3: do a really good job of timing up linebacker blitzes, 147 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 3: safety blitzes, slot blitzes. So you're going to see Aaron Glenn, 148 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 3: who's their defensive coordinator, does a really good job with this. 149 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 3: He's going to you know, he's going to disguise where 150 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 3: he has guys in the box and then next thing 151 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 3: you know, you're going to see blitzes coming that direction. So, 152 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 3: you know, the Cowboys didn't exactly handle things very well 153 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 3: against the Dolphins. Maybe you know the communication. I know 154 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 3: I was listening to Nate Newton last night on our show, 155 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 3: The Cross Talk Show, and he was talking about communication 156 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 3: with offensive linemen on the road. We talked about on 157 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 3: our show as well. And you know, but you have 158 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 3: a home home game this week, so hopefully that will 159 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: help you. But that's something that I would worry about 160 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 3: with the with the Lions. You know, if they get 161 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 3: in this game and now all of a sudden, it's 162 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,679 Speaker 3: like you start to see their linebackers near the line, 163 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 3: you start to see their safeties near the line, they're 164 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 3: likely going to bring a blitz on you. And so 165 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 3: they're really good at at handling that. I think where 166 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 3: I would I would say to me where the attack 167 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 3: would be is I don't think necessarily at the cornerback 168 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 3: spot that they're great. And I say this in a way, 169 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 3: I think their safeties are some of the best you're 170 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 3: gonna play. Melifan Wu and Joseph they're both outstanding safeties. 171 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 3: Brian Branch, the rookie from Alabama who was a safety 172 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 3: at Alabama, plays as their slot corner. He is really 173 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 3: good in coverage. He's you know, he's a sticky guy. 174 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 3: But I think Cameron Sudden the corner on where's number one. 175 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 3: I think there's some snaps where you'll see him lose 176 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 3: his man in coverage, and you know, especially they'll ask 177 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 3: him if they do play they play about the metrics 178 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 3: will tell you about sixty seven percent zone coverage, but 179 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 3: they they'll they'll have times where they will lose guys 180 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 3: in coverage, and they're and they're they're hopeful this week 181 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: that they get Jerry Jacobs back the corner they lost. 182 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 3: They've been playing with a couple of fill ins the 183 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 3: last couple of weeks and it's been just okay for him. 184 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 3: But I kind of feel like that where people have 185 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 3: kind of taken advantage of these guys is like a 186 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 3: guy like I said, Cameron Smith, who loses men in coverage. 187 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 3: You know, Ceedee Lamb really good at route running and 188 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 3: his ability to have guys not stay with so uh 189 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 3: blitzing linebackers, blitzing secondary the best and then the lack 190 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 3: of coverage on the corners I think is an issue 191 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 3: for them as the worst. 192 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 5: It sounds like they are better at the slot than 193 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 5: they are on the outside. 194 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 3: There's no question they are. That's and and you know 195 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 3: they they I said, they're just they're committed to playing 196 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 3: uh you know, and playing with that with their with 197 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 3: their with their slot corner. They just don't want to 198 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 3: move Branch to the outside. They like him inside and 199 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 3: they're going to try and figure out ways to to 200 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 3: to navigate the uh the other you know, the other positions. 201 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 3: But man, I'll tell you what. Branch is a good 202 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 3: player and Melafwan moved the safety and Joe those are 203 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 3: good play Like I say, those you make a mistake 204 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 3: just being careless with the ball and you just like 205 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 3: throw it up and you're like you're not quick throwing it, 206 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 3: or you're not you know, you're not confident in throwing 207 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 3: it and you just kind of loft it out there 208 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 3: and hope for the best. These guys will hawk it, yep, 209 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 3: you know, and that's that's what you kind of have 210 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 3: to worry about in this game. 211 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 5: With that being said, then do you think that this 212 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 5: is a game where maybe instead of moving CD into 213 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 5: the slot as often as they do, then maybe you 214 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 5: keep them on the outside on the outs. Going up 215 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 5: the middle might be a bit of a challenge with 216 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 5: the safeties in the black corner, I think so. 217 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 3: To me, it's I I try and find as many 218 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 3: times as I can get my guys on. Sutton number one. Yeah, 219 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 3: that's the guy that I would and you know, like 220 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 3: we'll see, we'll see if there's any rust, uh. You know, 221 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 3: with Jacob's coming back, he's still with a hamstring injury, 222 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 3: and but they've had a lot of guys come through 223 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 3: and try and help and play the position. It just 224 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 3: hasn't probably worked out well for them. But I would 225 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 3: be very mindful of these safeties and their nickel. That's 226 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 3: who I would try and kind of stay away from 227 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 3: it if I could. 228 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, the other thing you could consider there is if 229 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 5: you know that they they're stronger there, they may also 230 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 5: you may want to kind of occupy them with CD 231 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 5: and then take advantage of the outside with cooks and 232 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 5: and maybe this is a game where Gallup can get 233 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 5: more involved you take some shots down field. If you 234 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 5: can get the safeties to really be preoccupied with CD 235 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 5: in the middle of the field, there might be some 236 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 5: opportunities there as well. 237 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 3: Well if they're not blitzing. 238 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, right, because they've lit like one third of 239 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 8: the time. Yeah, but they play a lot of single 240 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 8: high because they also like to play a lot of own. 241 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 8: So the key for them for the Cowboys in order 242 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 8: to exploit the downfield opportunities is you got to figure 243 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 8: out a way to pick up those blitz packages. And 244 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 8: then even outside of the blitz packages. You're talking about 245 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 8: a deferent defensive line that features eight and Hutchinson, right, 246 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 8: So you got to be stout in your past protection 247 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 8: Fingers crossed. The turning Smith is back for this game 248 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 8: because this is one where they're definitely going to need him. 249 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 8: But if you can pick up those blitzes and you 250 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 8: can win your one on one matchups as far as 251 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 8: you're a starting offensive lineman, then yeah, the shots are 252 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 8: going to be there. I love the idea of keeping 253 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 8: CD more so to the outside because Brian is right 254 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 8: soon he's a liability. Those other guys they are much 255 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 8: stickier as far as their hands are concerned, and they 256 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 8: are much better in coverage, so the slightest mistake turns 257 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 8: into an interception. These guys do take the ball away 258 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 8: pretty well in the air, and it's evenly dispersed between 259 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 8: those camera Sutton notwithstanding those other guys, three interceptions here, 260 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 8: three there, four there, So it's it's a pretty stout unit. 261 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 8: And those safeties play play very well, so keep them 262 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 8: playing forward. But that means you also need to establish 263 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 8: the run. This is a game where you need to 264 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 8: make sure that your run is your run game is solid. 265 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 8: So it would be key how the Cowboys handle the 266 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 8: ric o'dowdle situation and do they rest him. It's Malie 267 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 8: Davis up. Do you get more reps to Hunter lip Key? 268 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 8: Forgive him for that fumble that happened, because he had 269 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 8: two third down conversions on that same drive, so at 270 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 8: least he's coming in and then they had the pass 271 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 8: to him as well, so they got him active in 272 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 8: the past game as well. 273 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 2: You gotta forgive sooner. 274 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 8: Chris keep them off balance. 275 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 3: I'll tell you the metric that stood out, and I 276 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 3: know we all like to look at the metric. The 277 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 3: one that stood out for me in this game, come 278 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 3: in the matchup is this team's only giving up five 279 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 3: touchdowns playing zone coverage this year. That's the thing about it. 280 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 3: And they play at sixty seven percent of the time. 281 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 3: It's the third fewest in the NFL. So we'll see 282 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 3: if they if they if Dallas could take advantage of 283 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 3: I did a study too. I'm going to break it 284 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 3: out one day of Dak versus zone coverage, man coverage, 285 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 3: split safeties and all that. I just got to type 286 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 3: it all up and I'll send it to you. 287 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: Can't wait. 288 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 5: All right, let's take our first break when we come back. 289 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 5: I want to talk about the player on their defense 290 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 5: that I think is probably the most dynamic Aiden Hutchinson. 291 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 5: We'll get a scout and report on him and see 292 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 5: where he matches up and maybe could be a problem 293 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 5: for the Cowboys when we come BA Dallas. Cowboys dot 294 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 5: com Radio. 295 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 9: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 296 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 9: cheat of Savannah.

What does he 358 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 5: do well and where is he? A bit of a 359 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 5: where can you challenge him? 360 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a pain in the rear for sure. Yeah. 361 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 3: It really does start with their defensive lineup front, and 362 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 3: he's the main one. He's the guy that you absolutely 363 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 3: have to deal with. Here's a guy that's he's got 364 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 3: a long, tall frame. He could tower over guys. You 365 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 3: watch him play, Gosh, he just looks like he's so 366 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 3: damn big out there, but he plays with range. He's 367 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 3: all over the field. He's always working towards the action. 368 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 3: He has a true nose for the football. He's got 369 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 3: really good hand techniques. He's got some upper body, elite 370 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 3: upper body strength, twitchy in the way when I talk 371 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 3: about twitching that quick movement to get off blocks. He's 372 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 3: got a variety of pass rush moves and strategies. He 373 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 3: looks like he has a plan when he rushes the passer. 374 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 3: He's tremendous lower body flexibility. He can put himself in 375 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 3: a variety of positions when you know top still maintaining 376 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 3: top speed and quickness. You're gonna need to account to 377 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 3: this guy. This is the most important thing about this guy. 378 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 3: You're gonna need to account for him throughout the echo 379 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 3: of the whistle. Because this guy doesn't stop. The minute 380 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 3: you stop, he's going and now all of a sudden, 381 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 3: your quarterback's running around back. He gets more pressures and 382 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 3: sacks when the plays going on and on and on 383 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,479 Speaker 3: and on, and then all of a sudden, everybody quits 384 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 3: but him, and now it's a pressure or a sack. 385 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 3: That's just the way that he plays the game. So 386 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 3: I'm I think that this is going to be the 387 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 3: critical point of dealing with the Blitzes, but also his ability, 388 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 3: the Cowboys ability whether he plays left or right. They'll 389 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 3: move him around in these in these games, but they 390 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 3: need to find a way to account for him at 391 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 3: all times and make sure that you were locked up 392 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 3: with him as the whistle's blowing, because if you don't, 393 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 3: he will find a way to outwork you and get 394 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 3: to the ball. 395 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 5: Where is he lineup most off left? And okay, and 396 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 5: who do you expect? Like, how does he match up? 397 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 5: If you walk me through Tyler, I mean, I'm sorry, Tyron, 398 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 5: and walk me through Tuma. How does he work best 399 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 5: against them? And what can they do against him? 400 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 3: Steel? He's gonna play the majority of snaps, likely against 401 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 3: steal is what he's going to deal with there, and 402 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 3: so you have to be ready for that matchup there 403 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 3: if he's against Tuma. Then you know the thing with 404 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 3: Tuma the other day, and I know that everybody's freaking 405 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 3: out about Tuma, but when you watch the All twenty 406 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 3: two and we were just talking about in the break, 407 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 3: the metrics was saying thirty nine pass dropbacks and three pressures. 408 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 3: That's that was his metrics in that game. You know, 409 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 3: the mental mistakes were the biggest issue in that football game. 410 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 3: But what the thing will the thing that that that 411 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 3: that Hutchinson will do is if you're not quick out 412 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 3: of your stance and quick to get to him, if 413 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 3: you just kind of set soft on him, he will 414 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 3: throw moves, moves, but he keeps coming at you. And 415 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 3: and the thing with Tyron Smith is Tyron Smith is different. 416 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 3: As we all know. He's so big and so when 417 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 3: he kicks out and he just and then he sets 418 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 3: in his hands and now he stops a guy like Hutchinson. 419 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 3: You know, you that's the one thing is Hutchinson will 420 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 3: keep moving as long as you let him keep moving. 421 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 3: You know, the minute you set on him and punch 422 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 3: him and make him You saw the vikings in this game. Hockinson, 423 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 3: the tight end, was trying to chip him. They just 424 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 3: kept trying to chip him because they were trying to 425 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 3: get him to stop. Yep, you know. And that's the 426 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 3: best way to play him. To me, if you don't 427 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 3: feel like you're good enough on the outside to handle 428 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 3: him one on one, just keep chipping him, make him 429 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 3: make him start stop, start, stop, start, stop the whole game, 430 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 3: and that way that'll keep him, you know, keep him 431 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 3: off your passer. But of course you're going to have 432 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 3: a better opportunity if he goes over and rushes with 433 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 3: Smith is going to be able to hand him. Steele 434 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 3: is probably going to need a little help. You know. 435 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 3: Steele has got the athletic ability, but Steele doesn't have 436 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 3: I think Steele could get broken down easier like Steve 437 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 3: if he's not good with his hands, and this guy 438 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 3: will like swatch your hands, push your hands, push you. 439 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 3: Like I say, there's a lot of pass rush technique 440 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 3: in the way that he goes, so he could break 441 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 3: you down pretty well. But if I'm Dallas, I'm finding 442 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 3: a way to Sometimes you see Ferguson, Jack Ferguson, chip 443 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 3: the edge, chip the edge, then go out in the route. 444 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 3: I think that's going to be a necessary plan this 445 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 3: week for Hutchinson. 446 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 5: What does the middle of their defensive front look like 447 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 5: from a pass rush and a run defense. 448 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 3: That they really don't let you run the ball all 449 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 3: that much, but their offense scores a lot of points. 450 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 3: So they're like the Cowboys in the way where you 451 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 3: get behind in the game and you don't run the 452 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 3: ball anymore because you're chasing points. But what they are 453 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 3: is they are really really big inside. Benito Jones and 454 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 3: Isaiah Bugs. Their defensive tackle. Jones is like six to one, 455 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 3: but he's super wide and he does a lot of 456 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 3: the dirty work inside for the Lions. They can anchor 457 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 3: on double teams. They hustle. They got some sneaky speed 458 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 3: to these guys, and they move them along the line 459 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 3: of scrimmage. Bugs the same way. Massive man three point 460 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,360 Speaker 3: thirty keeps his feet moving, kind of head up, locate 461 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 3: the ball, you know, just gonna push the middle of 462 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 3: the pocket, like I say, they're gonna push you. But 463 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 3: here here comes linebacker Blitz and Zelony linebacker Blitz. We 464 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 3: were talking to Zach Martin yesterday and he brought up 465 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 3: Alex and Zeloni the linebacker and how much these guys blitz, 466 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 3: And so that's where you're gonna that's all of a sudden, 467 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 3: you get that middle push, but now you get guys 468 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 3: occupied and they're not coming off and getting picking up 469 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 3: blitzing linebackers or blitzing secondary guys. So that's that's something 470 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,479 Speaker 3: you're gonna have to do with. This is the size 471 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 3: of the two guys being both being about three hundred 472 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 3: and thirty pounds. 473 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 5: How would you best offset their blitz? 474 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 3: Well, well, the one thing that you've one thing is 475 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 3: the recognition of it first, you know, would be the 476 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 3: thing that I would make sure that you know. And 477 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 3: I think Dak's got to help you a little bit 478 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 3: too here, you know. I mean they had a sack 479 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 3: the other day where and I don't know why Dak 480 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 3: did this, he moved Pollard from the left to the 481 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 3: right and sent him into the flat and then the 482 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 3: blitzer came from his left, whereas if he just left 483 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 3: Pollard there, pick up the blitz, account for the blitz. 484 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 3: Everything that I'm doing, I'm trying to help to if 485 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 3: in fact, in fact it's a doga. I'm helping everything 486 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 3: to his side. I'm just I'm just I'm just assuming 487 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 3: that you know, it's not going to get picked up. 488 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 3: It's just I mean, I'm just assuming that. So I'm 489 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 3: just making sure if it's setting back or this the 490 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 3: communication about making sure that they're they slide or pick 491 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 3: up the right guys. I think they had to have 492 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 3: worked on all this all week. I mean really worked 493 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 3: on it all week when it comes to because you 494 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 3: watch the Lions play, it is it is about that pressure. 495 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 3: It's not you know, last week you see four man 496 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 3: line pressure. This one you see the pressure from the linebacker. 497 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 3: Like I say, Angeloni, he's the of off ball linebackers. 498 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 3: He's like the second most pressures in the league, you know, 499 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 3: blitzing guys. So you got to be ready for this one. 500 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 3: And but I would make sure that that you got 501 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 3: the offensive lineman and all on the same page. But 502 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 3: also to be careful about moving backs away from potential blitzers. 503 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 3: You know, I'd keep I'd keep it back to anzelone's 504 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 3: side there just in case you do see that rush. 505 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 8: And there's also ways to make them pay for linebacker blitzes. Obviously, 506 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 8: first you want to recognize it and make sure that 507 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 8: the protection is there for it. But you know, your 508 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 8: screens get get more effective at the screen game have 509 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 8: like emergency, the little valves that you can pull in 510 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 8: case of emergency. For example, if there's a blitz coming, okay, 511 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 8: well maybe you should have somebody in the flat just 512 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 8: in case. Maybe you should have a quick slant in place, 513 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 8: just in case, because if that's if it's the mic 514 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 8: that's blitzing, then ideally your slide on, a quick slant 515 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 8: should be right there for you for the quick hit, 516 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 8: so you know, acknowledge it, recognize it, make sure your 517 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 8: protections line up. And then of course if you're back pollared, 518 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 8: if it's Rico, Malik, whoever the case may be, make 519 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 8: sure maybe they get a chip before they head out. 520 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 8: But yeah, you can do that in the quick passing 521 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 8: game as well. 522 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 3: Brian Baldinger and I were talking about, yes, Sir on 523 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 3: our show and you know Baldy NFL Network, and he 524 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 3: was talking about I was asking about the hot throws, 525 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 3: you know, and he says, I don't see teams hot 526 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 3: throw anymore. Nate Newton last night on the show was 527 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 3: talking about Dave Campo brought it up hot throws and stuff. 528 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 3: There were a couple of times where it looked like 529 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 3: to me, Cooks looked for the ball. Yep, first look 530 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 3: for the ball and the throw wasn't there. So hot 531 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 3: packages are as old as Pop Warner playing football. You know, 532 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 3: when somebody blitzes, you just replace it. You just sort 533 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 3: of the ball and get it out. So maybe that's 534 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 3: something that last week was that they missed on. Maybe 535 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 3: it's something this week you pick up on. If they're 536 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 3: gonna see blitzers, those guys got to look for the 537 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 3: ball and facts got. 538 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 2: To hit them to get their vacated spot. 539 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, we're gonna take a final break. When 540 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 5: we come back, I want to talk a little bit 541 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 5: about the Dallas offense and one question I have for 542 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 5: you guys will revolve around Tyler Smith and Tyron Smith 543 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 5: and should the Cowboys really be making some considerations about 544 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 5: whether it's a good thing to move Tyler Smith out 545 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 5: to left tackle in the event that Tyron Smith is 546 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 5: still not able to play. We'll talk about that when 547 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 5: we come back.

At this 622 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 5: let's talk about Tyron Smith and Tyler Smith. We've talked 623 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 5: about this a few times. I know, we've talked about 624 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 5: this a few times this year, and I think it's 625 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 5: a worthy conversation at this point based on the fact 626 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 5: that last week, as you said, Chulmann didn't have as 627 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 5: bad a game as that Trick thinks he had. 628 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. I was watching the tape and 629 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 3: I was like, and people were losing their mind, and 630 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 3: I'm like, when, guys, I don't think it was that bad. 631 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 3: I'm sitting right. And I went through and I did 632 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 3: plus minus plus minus I kind of six overall minuses 633 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 3: that I thought and three of them were just mental mistakes. Right. 634 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 3: But that's the physical the physical part of him passing 635 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 3: stunts and picking up guys and cutting off guys, that 636 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 3: part wasn't a problem. It's the problem. It's just like 637 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 3: the it's like when you bust, when you have a 638 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 3: mental bust, and it just it just wrecks the play 639 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 3: at the worst time. That's where you're at, right, and 640 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 3: that's where you're at. 641 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 5: And that's the part quite frankly for me, when you're 642 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 5: talking about a left tackle is most worse him because 643 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 5: when you just choose not to pick up Chubb, that's 644 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 5: how you get your quarterback injured exactly. Those are the 645 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 5: those are the type situations that put you in a 646 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 5: much worse situation than just a sack. And that's why 647 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 5: I'm like, I think the conversation is warranted. Should you 648 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 5: put a more capable person in Tyler Smith out there 649 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 5: as opposed to Chuma Edoga because he's more capable to 650 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 5: take care of the blind side of your. 651 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 3: Court and play basket left guard and pay and play 652 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 3: basket left guard. Y see the the the radio guy 653 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 3: in me says, absolutely do that. And then but you know, 654 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 3: the those guys sitting in that thing, they they do 655 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 3: not want to move. I get it, they do. They 656 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 3: absolutely do not want to move Tyler Smith. We all, 657 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sorry, I don't mean to speak for you. 658 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 3: I kind of feel like though, as a group, we're saying, yeah, put, 659 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 3: we've seen Tyler Smith play at a very high level 660 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 3: at left tackle. What is the problem. Put? Him out there. 661 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 3: There's something over we're on that side of the building, 662 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 3: and it and and there. It's their job, it's their job. 663 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 3: It's our job to talk about it, their job to 664 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 3: execute it. And there's something fundamentally, and it might go 665 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 3: back to Jerry Jones's belief when I did work with 666 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 3: them in scouting that how important the inside three are 667 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 3: for him. You know, he learned somebody in his journey 668 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 3: in the NFL, Al Davis John Madden. Somebody told Jerry 669 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 3: Jones about having the front of the pocket firm. And 670 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 3: he believes that with all his heart. You know, he 671 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 3: believes that if a quarterback can step up, he has 672 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 3: a chance to throw. Quarterbacks should be able to handle 673 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 3: stuff off the edge. It's the stuff in the middle 674 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 3: of their face that they can't handle. And they, as 675 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 3: they fundamentally do not believe moving Tyler Smith is a 676 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 3: good move for that. 677 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 7: See, no one's going to agree with me on this one. 678 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 7: But how do you leave with that because we already 679 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 7: kind of talked about. 680 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 3: It during the break. 681 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, but I don't know what he's going to agree. 682 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 7: But if it was up to me, and I'm the 683 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 7: head coach and I'm sitting in this situation, and I 684 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 7: know we're in the playoffs, that's a fact you're going 685 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 7: to go in there. And I know the struggles that 686 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 7: the O line is having, regardless of the stats and 687 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 7: all of that. I think you want to give yourself. 688 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 7: You want to give the quarterback the best protection that 689 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 7: you possibly can. And we saw the way that Dak 690 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 7: played in that game. Whatever it was. Mentally, he wasn't 691 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 7: really being his usual self. But if it's up to 692 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 7: me tiring and sitting, he's watching from the bench, sitting 693 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 7: resting his back. I need him full health for the postseason. 694 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 7: I get it. A win is important. You don't want 695 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 7: to turn it into a three game losing streak. That's huge, 696 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 7: But I'm I care more about the playoffs and giving 697 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,959 Speaker 7: ourselves the best chance possible to go out there and 698 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 7: compete and have health all in the A line. So 699 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 7: I would make the change, And this is definitely not 700 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 7: going to happen, but I would sit tiring make the 701 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 7: change that you're talking about, Derek, because then that gives 702 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 7: you two games of getting a good look of like, Okay, 703 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 7: what can this possibly look at? Worst case scenario emergency 704 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 7: plan if tying at some point in the game or 705 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 7: whatever reason, it's not able to go. You take him out. Okay, 706 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 7: emergency plan goes into effect. But you cannot just ran 707 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 7: randomly just move the guy, move Tyler, and just expect 708 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 7: because we've seen it kind of before where they do 709 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 7: switch in, you know, and play musical chair. We've seen 710 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 7: that happen and it hasn't been terrible. But you don't 711 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 7: want to just do that out of nowhere and expect 712 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 7: it to or just fully rely on that plan working 713 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 7: for you. So I would take these two games to 714 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 7: get get a good look at that. But nothing I'm 715 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 7: saying matters at all because it is absolutely not going 716 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 7: to well. To Bruce, that's what I would do, But 717 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 7: also that's why I'm not a head coach. 718 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 8: To Bryn's point, it also when it comes to Jerry 719 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 8: and also McCarthy as well, they don't like to move 720 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 8: two pieces to solve one problem, and it also goes 721 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 8: to that as well. That being said, you could speak 722 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,720 Speaker 8: for me on this one because I've been on this train. 723 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 8: When Tyron missed the first couple games or so, I 724 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 8: was like, just pop Tyler Tyler Smith back out there. 725 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,959 Speaker 8: Cowboys who're like Nope, we're not gonna do it. Tyrn 726 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 8: missed more games. I was like, just pop Tyler Smith 727 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 8: back out there, and like, Nope, they're not going to 728 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 8: do it. So, like Brian said, this, this organization, this 729 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 8: coaching staff, this front office, they are hell bent on 730 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 8: keeping Tyler Smith that left guard. I if I were 731 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 8: the coach, which is your question, I would in fact 732 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,959 Speaker 8: pop Tyler Smith out to the left tackle and put TJ. 733 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 8: Bass at guard. Because we're also talking about the blind side. 734 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 8: We're not because both sides are not created equal, right, 735 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 8: So you got friends side, you got blindside. You if 736 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 8: your left tackle is missing assignments against a guy like 737 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 8: Bradley Chubb and key situations blind side, that's a very 738 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 8: dangerous situation. That's more dangerous than just the play being 739 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 8: disrupted or blown up. You might not have a quarterback 740 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,879 Speaker 8: after that. So you got to account for that as well. 741 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 8: And we talk about it, and it's true that the 742 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:12,280 Speaker 8: interior three are more so important than the outside lineman. 743 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 8: But then the question becomes what's the talent drop off? 744 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 2: Right? 745 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 8: Is there a bigger talent drop off from Tyron to 746 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 8: Tuma versus Tyler Smith to TJ Bass or is it 747 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,320 Speaker 8: the best? You see what I'm saying, you have to 748 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 8: put that into the value equation as well. 749 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 2: And I think when you. 750 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 7: Look at it also, the which side is more important? 751 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 2: Right? 752 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 8: But when you look at it like that and you 753 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,879 Speaker 8: start looking at where's the biggest talent drop off? Then 754 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 8: I still I definitely say Tyler out there, and because 755 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 8: there's a shorter drop off from Tyron to Tyler at 756 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 8: left tackle than there is from Tyron to Tuma. So 757 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 8: all of that, but I don't agree. I think you 758 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 8: played Tyron Smith this game and you wrest him against 759 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 8: the Commanders. Yeah, that's when you put this into play 760 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 8: risk takers. 761 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 7: Not me. I'm playing it safe. 762 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,040 Speaker 3: I would planned. 763 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 8: Risk a three game losing straight, three of the best 764 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 8: teams in the league. What does that do for your 765 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 8: momentum and your morale one week away? Because after this game, 766 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 8: you have one week away from good They don't play 767 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 8: well on the road. So who says you going to 768 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 8: Washington and win that game? So now you're risking nope, 769 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 8: get to win. 770 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 3: Who let me ask you this? Have you given up 771 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 3: winning the division? 772 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 2: Sounds like she has? 773 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 3: Oh my god, no, no, no, I'm asking because I'm just 774 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 3: your decision, what you're doing. 775 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 7: That's a fair point. 776 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no, no, I'm asking you this way. 777 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 3: I'm asking because if you believe that eighty six percent, 778 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 3: if you look at playoff probabilities and all that, that 779 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 3: you're going to be the fifth seed, absolutely do what 780 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 3: you're talking about doing. If you're locked into being the 781 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 3: fifth seed, absolutely do what you're you're talking about doing, 782 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 3: Reus Tyrant Smith. But if you have a just you, 783 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 3: it's also you got to keep playing until they say 784 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 3: you're the fifth seed. Because if you if there's a 785 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 3: chance that you can and again it's a slim one, 786 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 3: but you got to keep playing. You got to keep 787 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 3: winning and hope that something happens in Philadelphia where you 788 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 3: win the division or you know, or you can get 789 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 3: the second seat. I would hate to rest Tyron Smith 790 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 3: and then lose a game. But if you feel like 791 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 3: if you feel like that, no, it's eighty six percent, 792 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 3: we're locked in that odds are too much for us. Yes, 793 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 3: let's rest them. 794 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 7: I totally understand how important is Tyron Smith in the 795 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:29,879 Speaker 7: playoffs for. 796 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 3: You, huge, He's huge, more than but but but I 797 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 3: got it. I got to try and get a home game. 798 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,799 Speaker 3: I got to try and get to the second seat 799 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 3: because the second seed to be the second seed. 800 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 7: Okay, different question, home game or Tyron Smith have you seen. 801 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:50,879 Speaker 2: Question? 802 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 3: Would answer that question. 803 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 5: But if I don't have much better at home without 804 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 5: road with Tyrons. 805 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 7: Okay, Now with that being said, that argument can convince 806 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 7: convince me a lot more than yes, because yeah, absolutely 807 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:11,240 Speaker 7: will take the home games. 808 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 3: See to me, if you're if you're the two seeds, 809 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:18,879 Speaker 3: somehow you're playing Seattle at home again, I'll take my chance. 810 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 3: I mean, I know it was a I know we 811 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 3: all were hold on to our rear game, but I 812 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 3: mean it was you know, you gotta win, you know, 813 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 3: all right, y'all convince me. 814 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 5: I'll even complicate this just a little bit more. Listen 815 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,760 Speaker 5: to what you said, Bro about the linebackers and the blitzer. 816 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 5: I think maybe this is not the game where you'd 817 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 5: maybe want to move Tyler out because if you've got 818 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,799 Speaker 5: linebackers coming out the middle and you haven't adapt to that, 819 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 5: I may think, Hey, this is a game where I 820 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 5: really need my interior to stay as consistent as possible. 821 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 5: And they know each other, they know how to adapt 822 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 5: to different things that may be coming at them and 823 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 5: in one more week. Let's let's also be clear, like 824 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 5: Chuma wasn't bad when he played earlier in the season, 825 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 5: he had some bad moments in this last game. My 826 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,360 Speaker 5: expectation is coming out of going into this game, he'll 827 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 5: probably be a little bit better. And and that being said, 828 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,359 Speaker 5: I'd rather keep everything as consistent as possible. Well, when 829 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 5: I'm playing a team that's going to send a lot 830 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 5: of different pressure in a lot of different ways. 831 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 3: You need to be better too. And last week was 832 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 3: unfortunate because your center wasn't better. Your center, your centers, 833 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 3: your center's been good. And you know he earlier he 834 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 3: had some moments where he wasn't good and then he 835 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 3: kind of found himself and playing a lot better and 836 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 3: they you know, they're running the ball and all that. 837 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 3: Last week he wasn't as good as he needed to be, 838 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,360 Speaker 3: and so we're kind of focusing on Tuma. But the 839 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 3: center wasn't great either, and that that that's that's an 840 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 3: issue when you're talking about it. 841 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 7: So excited about him this year, just going back to training, fine, 842 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,880 Speaker 7: it's just it's just every time amazing. 843 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 3: Sometimes it reverts back where he gets overpowered and and 844 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 3: you know, and struggles with the blocks and sustain and things. 845 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 3: But I mean, that's you could say that about a 846 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 3: lot of centers. But when the Cowboys are bad on 847 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,479 Speaker 3: the offensive line, it's generally they're bad at a couple 848 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 3: of spots. It's center and right, and that's that's where 849 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,359 Speaker 3: they've kind of they've had their struggles. 850 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 5: I had a question for you guys. This comes from 851 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 5: Shoes and Sports on Twitter. He says, why haven't Why 852 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 5: haven't we seen more of Awesome Richards? 853 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 8: That's a good guy on Twitter, by the way, good guy. 854 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 8: That is a very good question, very good question. 855 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 5: Should should we be seeing more of him? 856 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:20,399 Speaker 2: Well? 857 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 8: I think for this one, I'd have to defer to 858 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 8: the coaching staff and assume they're seeing something that we're 859 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,840 Speaker 8: not seeing that has them, I'm not gonna say shook, 860 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 8: but not exactly as confident as they would be or 861 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 8: feel like they should be at this point in the season, 862 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 8: because in a game like you know, you saw against 863 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 8: the Dolphins, Tuma not struggling physically, but struggling with his 864 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:45,280 Speaker 8: decision making. If you're confident and Awesome, maybe Awesome starts 865 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 8: that game right, but you've not really seen I mean, 866 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,560 Speaker 8: we're going into week seventeen and you've not really seen 867 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 8: awsome Richards get you know, much of any playing time, 868 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 8: even with injuries at that position. So I just I 869 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,399 Speaker 8: feel like there's something there that they see that we're 870 00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 8: not seeing that would answer the question. 871 00:40:58,800 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 2: But we just don't have the answer. 872 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 3: Coaches do not want to play a rookie player if 873 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 3: they don't have to. I mean there's I mean, in 874 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 3: this in this day and age, sometimes you have to 875 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 3: plug and play guys and go. But they would they 876 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,759 Speaker 3: would rather remember a doga, a Dooka was we thought 877 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 3: was a better guard than he was at tackle. I 878 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 3: mean there were times of training camp at tackle you 879 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 3: were going, oh geez, moving back inside. Yeah, and awesome. 880 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 3: There's sometimes are awesome, looks great and other times looks 881 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,800 Speaker 3: like he's in a revolving door. You know, he's just 882 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 3: getting kind of knocked around and all that. You know. 883 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 3: I mean, you just gotta coaches will go with what 884 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 3: they know. And as much as they were saw what 885 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 3: they saw with a Doga, they know what a doga 886 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 3: can do. That's what they did. 887 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,239 Speaker 8: It's so much youth there between Richards and then well 888 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,359 Speaker 8: let's go and you know, let's go second, your guy, 889 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 8: but you gotta wonder if if his shoulders can can 890 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 8: hold up. They say, so, it's like, wow, just get 891 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 8: in stay healthy for the next several weeks time, and 892 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 8: that's really all you can hope for. 893 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 7: Well, it's crazy. We have Sorry what we started the 894 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 7: season kind of talking about the old line and all 895 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 7: from the beginning. I mean, we've gone through we're coming 896 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 7: near the end of the season, and we spent pretty 897 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 7: much all season talking about something about the O line. 898 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 3: For seven health lives, real health for seven. For seven weeks. 899 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 3: It really held together. 900 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 7: Well despite all the health concerned because even when they 901 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 7: were in there playing, we all know they were still 902 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 7: dealing with everybody with something. And it's been just a 903 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 7: I'm talking about yeah, just health strictly, people dealing with 904 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 7: stuff in the O line and the way that they've 905 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,959 Speaker 7: managed to hold up and get as many wins as 906 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,719 Speaker 7: they have. Now the running game does I feel it's 907 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:41,000 Speaker 7: taken a hit because it hasn't really been that great, 908 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,719 Speaker 7: but just yeah, we made it this far and now 909 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 7: we're here. 910 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 2: Well, look we. 911 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:50,279 Speaker 8: Got we're coming off of the absence in Miami, you know, 912 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 8: not coming that one, but we're coming off of the 913 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,959 Speaker 8: tyrone Smith having played seven consecutive games, so he played 914 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 8: all five in November and then he played two to 915 00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 8: start December. If he comes back this week or maybe 916 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,759 Speaker 8: next week, he comes back this week, then maybe we 917 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 8: get six consecutive games because they get you. Yeah, you 918 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 8: see what you're going with that, right, So you don't 919 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 8: need seven. My point is you don't need seven straight 920 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,839 Speaker 8: games from him anymore this season. Five or six, five 921 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 8: or six consecutive games of health and your offensive lines 922 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,400 Speaker 8: should should be okay. 923 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,399 Speaker 3: And you're just being held hostage right now. Yeah we are. 924 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,880 Speaker 3: I mean, you're so you need him so badly, and 925 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 3: yet you just when you pray to the football gods 926 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 3: that please let him be healthy today because you just 927 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 3: got to have him.
