I was gonna go forward, but. 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:27.560 I figured I'm gonna start going backwards. 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:28.560 Now, how's that going to be? 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:35.160 Next Birch Benjamin Franklin, say, Benjamin, but gonna start at sixty. 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:36.959 I'm gonna go back.

I'm telling you I 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.880 was wrapping up presents on the ground the other day 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.440 before Christmas and my back no afterwards, I've been My 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.559 back has been hurting like on an old lady all week. 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.640 Yeah, so not literally this morning when I was up 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.480 to a department right right when I got this morning, 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.400 I was like thinking, like, oh man, taking inventory. I'm like, 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.160 I got a bum toe, I got a bum knee, 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.000 I got a bum ham string, I gotta bum lower back. 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.800 Like it's just like everything is breaking down. I'm like, 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.480 that's what age does. Yeah, but I ain't stopping. I'm 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.919 gonna keep going. I'm gonna keep going. To the wheels 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:17.519 fall off. 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:19.680 When you get up off the bed and it sounds 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:21.000 like somebody's making popcorn. 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:22.520 Everything starts popping. 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:25.720 Ankle pop twice, the knee pops you stretch, and the 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.919 backs that pop pop pop is like, okay, over written boker, 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:30.480 but it's better than the alternative. 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:30.880 Exactly. 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:34.880 Well. Your is good, your rib is good, your you 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.480 know spring Yeah, yeah, you keep up with your running and. 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.320 Everybody still running eighty miles a morning. 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.320 I can't do that. And I'm earlier than you. 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.560 So I think that's gonna end. At some point my 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:49.880 body is starting to say, man, running stuff, you might 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:54.799 want to try biking, you know, Yeah, biking is fun. 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.040 It's all right, let's jump in. We got a lot 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.359 to talk about today. We're gonna talk about Detroit defense 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.480 versus the Cowboys offense. Before we get to that, though, 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.839 let's catch up on some injury updates. We've got three 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.000 guys that want to talk about Tyron Smith who did 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:11.480 not practice with a back injury, to Manydoga who has 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.400 a toe injury had limited participation yesterday, and then Rico 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.080 Dada with an ankle injury he did not practice. What 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:18.119 are we hearing about those three? 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.520 I think Rico is going to be hard pressed to 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.000 play against the Lions. I mean, he only had two 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.560 handoffs for four yards. I think the ankle injury that 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.320 he's been managing for the past several weeks, I want 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.040 to say two months at least, is really kind of 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:31.560 catching up with him. And I think they're at the 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.120 point where they're looking at maybe shut him down a 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:35.240 little bit so that try to. 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.080 Help him heal up for the playoffs. 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.520 I think that gives you Elie Davis for his third 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.720 and final elevation for the regular season, so look for 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.800 that to be a thing. Like you said, Derek, he 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.120 didn't practice rico on yesterday. We'll see if he does today, 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.000 but I doubt it because he was downgraded yesterday to meydoga, 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.440 like you said, popped up with a toe injury. Limited. 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.600 I don't think that this is something that will hold 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:58.520 him out. But again today being the Thursday practice technically 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.280 for I day, we'll see how it goes. With the designations. 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.520 Jonathan Hankins, we talked about him yesterday. There is some 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.360 optimism there, but if I'm a betting man, I don't 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.800 bet that he plays. I'd be pleasantly surprised if he does. 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:13.240 Malie Cooker good news. Upgraded from limited to full with 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.560 his ankle injury, so he's back to full health or 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:16.200 damn near it. 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:17.920 So that's a good stuff. That's good stuff. Hunter. 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.479 LOOKI also upgraded with his thigh issue from limited to full. 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.839 Zach Martin had a rest day Tyrone Smith DNP, which 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.599 is did not participate again. I don't know that I 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.800 put too much stock in that simply because he's on 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:33.080 quote unquote the plan. So whether it was the back 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.520 issue or him not practicing any way, because that's the 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:38.960 course that they have him on. I don't know that 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.440 he would have participated, so it makes it hard to 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.280 determine where he is in the process. But they're at 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.400 least mostly optimistic that he'll play. But we'll see, maybe 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.200 sixty forty and well, let's go. He was activated yesterday 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.560 in that transaction that replaced Rashaan Evans, So I do 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.480 want to point out for the Lions though, Taylor Decker 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.440 they're starting left tackle. He was down from limited on 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:05.160 Tuesday too, did not participate on Wednesday with a growing injury, 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.440 So they have an issue at left tackle, maybe something 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.640 the Cowboys can exploit. We'll see, but that's a big 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.000 one to look at for Detroit, if. 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.520 My memory serves correct. Yesterday, Brian and we were talking 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.360 about the line's offense. You were saying that left side 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.279 had some problems anyway. Is that is this worsening it 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:20.760 or was Taylor Decker part of the problem. 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.320 He's part of the problem too. I mean, yeah, you know, 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.760 he's a very good athlete, but the problem with him 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:27.919 he's not very strong. And you got a couple of 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:31.400 guys on your defensive line that are really good and 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:33.640 they go speed to power, and that's where I think 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.680 that the you know, he's talking about the growing injury 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.880 with him. We'll see if in fact that he does 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:40.560 play in this game, but that was going to be 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:42.680 a spot I was going to attack anyway with him 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.200 in the lineup or out of the lineup. I'm still 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:46.080 going that direction. 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.640 That should be an interesting matchup for the Cowboys. And 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:51.680 as you said, like I really believe this game is 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:53.480 going to come down to the two offenses in how 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.279 well they can operate. So if there's a way to 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.600 be able to affect their passing game or the running game, 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:00.919 I think that's going to be a for the Cowboys. 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:01.880 All right, let's jump in. 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.160 Let's talk a little bit about this this Detroit defense, 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.359 and Brian, I'm gonna start again where I started yesterday. 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:08.839 I want to get a big picture look, and I 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:10.760 really want to do this because this is not an 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.960 opponent that the Cowboys necessarily face often. I want to 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.320 make your fans have a good overview of where they are. 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.360 Tell me what they do best and what they struggle 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:21.000 the most at when it comes to their defense. 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:22.760 Well, Dak loves playing him. I think he's four and 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:24.800 ohero in his career against these guys, so when he 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.240 does see him, you know, that's a positive there. I 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.960 think the best thing they do on defense is their 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:34.560 ability to affect you with linebacker pressure rush in the passer. 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.200 This is we saw last week the problems that the 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:43.480 Cowboys had dealing with the linebackers and the blitz They 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.679 do a really good job of timing up linebacker blitzes, 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:52.520 safety blitzes, slot blitzes. So you're going to see Aaron Glenn, 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:56.000 who's their defensive coordinator, does a really good job with this. 0:06:56.400 --> 0:07:00.599 He's going to you know, he's going to disguise where 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.840 he has guys in the box and then next thing 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:07.240 you know, you're going to see blitzes coming that direction. So, 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.680 you know, the Cowboys didn't exactly handle things very well 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:14.440 against the Dolphins. Maybe you know the communication. I know 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:18.360 I was listening to Nate Newton last night on our show, 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:21.880 The Cross Talk Show, and he was talking about communication 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.400 with offensive linemen on the road. We talked about on 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.800 our show as well. And you know, but you have 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:30.160 a home home game this week, so hopefully that will 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.960 help you. But that's something that I would worry about 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:36.520 with the with the Lions. You know, if they get 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.080 in this game and now all of a sudden, it's 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:41.679 like you start to see their linebackers near the line, 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:45.440 you start to see their safeties near the line, they're 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.000 likely going to bring a blitz on you. And so 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:52.920 they're really good at at handling that. I think where 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.400 I would I would say to me where the attack 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.960 would be is I don't think necessarily at the cornerback 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.400 spot that they're great. And I say this in a way, 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.480 I think their safeties are some of the best you're 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:09.800 gonna play. Melifan Wu and Joseph they're both outstanding safeties. 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:14.160 Brian Branch, the rookie from Alabama who was a safety 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:18.080 at Alabama, plays as their slot corner. He is really 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.040 good in coverage. He's you know, he's a sticky guy. 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:26.360 But I think Cameron Sudden the corner on where's number one. 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.880 I think there's some snaps where you'll see him lose 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:33.880 his man in coverage, and you know, especially they'll ask 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.600 him if they do play they play about the metrics 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:40.280 will tell you about sixty seven percent zone coverage, but 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.520 they they'll they'll have times where they will lose guys 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.080 in coverage, and they're and they're they're hopeful this week 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:49.520 that they get Jerry Jacobs back the corner they lost. 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.000 They've been playing with a couple of fill ins the 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.880 last couple of weeks and it's been just okay for him. 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.160 But I kind of feel like that where people have 0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.440 kind of taken advantage of these guys is like a 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:04.400 guy like I said, Cameron Smith, who loses men in coverage. 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.319 You know, Ceedee Lamb really good at route running and 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:12.440 his ability to have guys not stay with so uh 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:19.200 blitzing linebackers, blitzing secondary the best and then the lack 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.720 of coverage on the corners I think is an issue 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:22.760 for them as the worst. 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.800 It sounds like they are better at the slot than 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:27.000 they are on the outside. 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:30.080 There's no question they are. That's and and you know 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.280 they they I said, they're just they're committed to playing 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.920 uh you know, and playing with that with their with 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.040 their with their slot corner. They just don't want to 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:43.040 move Branch to the outside. They like him inside and 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.040 they're going to try and figure out ways to to 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:49.480 to navigate the uh the other you know, the other positions. 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.800 But man, I'll tell you what. Branch is a good 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:54.520 player and Melafwan moved the safety and Joe those are 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.280 good play Like I say, those you make a mistake 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:01.000 just being careless with the ball and you just like 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.360 throw it up and you're like you're not quick throwing it, 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.800 or you're not you know, you're not confident in throwing 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:08.800 it and you just kind of loft it out there 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.640 and hope for the best. These guys will hawk it, yep, 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:13.680 you know, and that's that's what you kind of have 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:14.920 to worry about in this game. 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.560 With that being said, then do you think that this 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.000 is a game where maybe instead of moving CD into 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:21.839 the slot as often as they do, then maybe you 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:23.960 keep them on the outside on the outs. Going up 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:25.360 the middle might be a bit of a challenge with 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.640 the safeties in the black corner, I think so. 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.160 To me, it's I I try and find as many 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:34.920 times as I can get my guys on. Sutton number one. Yeah, 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.040 that's the guy that I would and you know, like 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:41.520 we'll see, we'll see if there's any rust, uh. You know, 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.920 with Jacob's coming back, he's still with a hamstring injury, 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.520 and but they've had a lot of guys come through 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.840 and try and help and play the position. It just 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.720 hasn't probably worked out well for them. But I would 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:57.840 be very mindful of these safeties and their nickel. That's 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.439 who I would try and kind of stay away from 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:00.920 it if I could. 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:02.880 Yeah, the other thing you could consider there is if 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.640 you know that they they're stronger there, they may also 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:07.920 you may want to kind of occupy them with CD 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.679 and then take advantage of the outside with cooks and 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:12.880 and maybe this is a game where Gallup can get 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.280 more involved you take some shots down field. If you 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:19.040 can get the safeties to really be preoccupied with CD 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:20.920 in the middle of the field, there might be some 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:21.839 opportunities there as well. 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:23.040 Well if they're not blitzing. 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.400 Yeah, yeah, right, because they've lit like one third of 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.280 the time. Yeah, but they play a lot of single 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:28.880 high because they also like to play a lot of own. 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:32.160 So the key for them for the Cowboys in order 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.320 to exploit the downfield opportunities is you got to figure 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:37.440 out a way to pick up those blitz packages. And 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.760 then even outside of the blitz packages. You're talking about 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:43.120 a deferent defensive line that features eight and Hutchinson, right, 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.760 So you got to be stout in your past protection 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.120 Fingers crossed. The turning Smith is back for this game 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.600 because this is one where they're definitely going to need him. 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:52.240 But if you can pick up those blitzes and you 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.080 can win your one on one matchups as far as 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.280 you're a starting offensive lineman, then yeah, the shots are 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.360 going to be there. I love the idea of keeping 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:00.959 CD more so to the outside because Brian is right 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.200 soon he's a liability. Those other guys they are much 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.240 stickier as far as their hands are concerned, and they 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.080 are much better in coverage, so the slightest mistake turns 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.160 into an interception. These guys do take the ball away 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.960 pretty well in the air, and it's evenly dispersed between 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:18.440 those camera Sutton notwithstanding those other guys, three interceptions here, 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.400 three there, four there, So it's it's a pretty stout unit. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.760 And those safeties play play very well, so keep them 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.880 playing forward. But that means you also need to establish 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:28.280 the run. This is a game where you need to 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.520 make sure that your run is your run game is solid. 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.520 So it would be key how the Cowboys handle the 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.880 ric o'dowdle situation and do they rest him. It's Malie 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:38.920 Davis up. Do you get more reps to Hunter lip Key? 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.280 Forgive him for that fumble that happened, because he had 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.640 two third down conversions on that same drive, so at 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.319 least he's coming in and then they had the pass 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.440 to him as well, so they got him active in 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:48.360 the past game as well. 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:49.559 You gotta forgive sooner. 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:57.839 Chris keep them off balance. 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.120 I'll tell you the metric that stood out, and I 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:01.679 know we all like to look at the metric. The 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.000 one that stood out for me in this game, come 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.480 in the matchup is this team's only giving up five 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:10.160 touchdowns playing zone coverage this year. That's the thing about it. 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.280 And they play at sixty seven percent of the time. 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:16.200 It's the third fewest in the NFL. So we'll see 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.800 if they if they if Dallas could take advantage of 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.040 I did a study too. I'm going to break it 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.560 out one day of Dak versus zone coverage, man coverage, 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.680 split safeties and all that. I just got to type 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:27.800 it all up and I'll send it to you. 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:28.360 Can't wait. 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.760 All right, let's take our first break when we come back. 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:32.679 I want to talk about the player on their defense 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.920 that I think is probably the most dynamic Aiden Hutchinson. 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:37.600 We'll get a scout and report on him and see 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.080 where he matches up and maybe could be a problem 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.080 for the Cowboys when we come BA Dallas.

The 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:21.280 segment brought to you by blockchain dot Com. All right, 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.840 let's jump back in. Let's talk about Aiden Hudginson. Give 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:25.680 me a scattery report on this guy. What does he 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:27.160 do well and where is he? A bit of a 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:28.880 where can you challenge him? 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.120 Yeah, he's a pain in the rear for sure. Yeah. 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.520 It really does start with their defensive lineup front, and 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:37.640 he's the main one. He's the guy that you absolutely 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.240 have to deal with. Here's a guy that's he's got 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.360 a long, tall frame. He could tower over guys. You 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.160 watch him play, Gosh, he just looks like he's so 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:48.520 damn big out there, but he plays with range. He's 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.360 all over the field. He's always working towards the action. 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.920 He has a true nose for the football. He's got 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:58.680 really good hand techniques. He's got some upper body, elite 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.520 upper body strength, twitchy in the way when I talk 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:05.640 about twitching that quick movement to get off blocks. He's 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.320 got a variety of pass rush moves and strategies. He 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.720 looks like he has a plan when he rushes the passer. 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.320 He's tremendous lower body flexibility. He can put himself in 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.600 a variety of positions when you know top still maintaining 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.680 top speed and quickness. You're gonna need to account to 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:22.720 this guy. This is the most important thing about this guy. 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:25.320 You're gonna need to account for him throughout the echo 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:28.679 of the whistle. Because this guy doesn't stop. The minute 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:31.919 you stop, he's going and now all of a sudden, 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.000 your quarterback's running around back. He gets more pressures and 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:39.240 sacks when the plays going on and on and on 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:41.479 and on, and then all of a sudden, everybody quits 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.040 but him, and now it's a pressure or a sack. 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:47.679 That's just the way that he plays the game. So 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.560 I'm I think that this is going to be the 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:55.840 critical point of dealing with the Blitzes, but also his ability, 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:59.080 the Cowboys ability whether he plays left or right. They'll 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:02.440 move him around in these in these games, but they 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.119 need to find a way to account for him at 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:08.919 all times and make sure that you were locked up 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:13.120 with him as the whistle's blowing, because if you don't, 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.000 he will find a way to outwork you and get 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:16.480 to the ball. 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.840 Where is he lineup most off left? And okay, and 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:22.320 who do you expect? Like, how does he match up? 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.960 If you walk me through Tyler, I mean, I'm sorry, Tyron, 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:28.240 and walk me through Tuma. How does he work best 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:30.440 against them? And what can they do against him? 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:33.520 Steel? He's gonna play the majority of snaps, likely against 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.840
