Dak Prescott, 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.640 as you feel it weren't even born yet. Whoa, that's 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:03.360 a Statick, you know that. Mick joining us today. I oh, 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:07.160 I gotta have this thing here at your or pay attention, 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.800 whatever you want to do. We are on the getting organized, 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.520 that's what you do before the show. Well, they haven't 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:16.880 beaten them since ninety five. Yeah, so at Denver at 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.440 Oh I'm saying any time, No, I know, but I'm 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:23.560 talking about Thank you Jason, because by the way, Jason, 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.759 it's four straight that they've lost to them too. Yeah, well, 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.080 let's get into it in the SWBC Mortgage studio. The 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.119 Cowboys are looking to get that win no matter where 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:37.000 they are. But they are at Denver their first road 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:40.680 game of the twenty seventeen season. And I thought an 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.399 interesting thing that happened yesterday in the locker room because 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:45.640 I think this will make a difference in the game turnovers. 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.920 Did you hear what Anthony Brown said about what this 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:52.480 team considers their goal for turnovers? I heard coach say 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:57.000 something about forty takeaways. Forty takeaways? Huh? Last year Kansas 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.160 City led the league with thirty three? Am I right? 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.200 I think that sounds right. Yeah, you get forty, you're 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.560 probably leading the league every year. You're winning a lot 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.720 of games. It averages out to two point five per game. 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.960 Oh so that's not Louisiana math Hey the year before, 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.680 when did they finish? Remember they had like thirty something. 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.600 I remember maybe it was twenty fourteen. Yeah, I remember 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.600 a time when they had twenty fourteen because the four 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.480 and twelve season, I think that was like at eleven 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.440 one time. Yeah, I think it was a history making league. 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:29.000 Low a couple of years ago. Absolutely, yes, So does 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.720 can this team do that? We will have to see 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.359 you think, so, you think I mean forty I think 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.320 is okay, that's I understand the lofty goals there, but 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:42.720 it is it's thirty realistic, thirty two realistic? Yeah, I think. 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.680 So what did they finish with last year? I'm looking 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.799 it up right now. We'll get you. Man, it was 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:53.280 like twenty twenty maybe it was one of them twenty 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.720 So it's more than that, wouldn't you anyway? I just 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.720 I don't know. I mean, if you look at the 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:02.680 way they created a lot of turnovers in the preseason, 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:07.280 you know, the fumbles and things had cost fumbles, recover 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.400 then recover them all. Yeah, they had one game where 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.799 they had five that they they caused and couldn't get 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:16.880 on one of them. But you know, is you talked 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:21.720 about this defense yesterday? They're capable? Yeah, I think so, 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.880 because I think are we just dreaming here now? Well, 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.400 I guess we'll find out. I mean, one game is 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.720 one game, right to be consistent. But I think what's 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:34.000 going on up front can help what will end up 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.840 havinging in the back end if those guys can continue 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:40.160 to apply pressure, and then once you get back David 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:44.840 Irving and uh Demontrey Moore got some nice rotation, and 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.200 with the addition of Price and Paya, I think you 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:52.120 could make an addition, I mean a difference up there. 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.560 They were very close to getting two takeaways the other night, 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:58.240 which you average that out, that's thirty two for the season. 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.080 So I mean, I almost had that fumble recovery with 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.240 Jalen Smith with the swipe. They kind of had it. 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.760 They tied for nineteenth last year, and takeaways with twenty 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.040 they go. Mickey was right right in the middle of money. 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.360 I'm just happy that finally a player is coming out 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:16.880 there and giving us some heat with their words and saying, hey, 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.599 we're ready to go after these goals and get them. Well, 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.880 you know what they Mickey's right, though, I think that 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:24.880 if you find a way, this is gonna be not 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.120 so much on the defense, it's gonna be on the offense. 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.440 I know it's gonna sound weird to say it that way, 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.240 but if the offense can continue to provide pressure on 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.320 defenses to have to throw the football, you know, if 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.000 you get into a game all of a sudden and 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.640 Dallas is scoring and continues to score. This is the 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.480 Denver game is gonna be a great example of this. 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.120 I put as much pressure on that quarterback Simeon to 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.400 have to match me to score. That's what I mean. 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.360 If the Cowboys they get into a game all of 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:58.240 a sudden where it's four drives, three touchdowns, make him 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.599 have to make him have to play play in a 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.600 game where he has to put the ball up. I 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.599 think that's overall with the NFL. You get a quarterback 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.640 that has to force throws to get his team back 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.599 in the game. Don't just drive the bus, right Yeah, yeah, 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.040 you're gonna you're gonna get some turnovers. Yeah, because if 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.800 you're not scoring, they'll just play cozy football. Oh there's 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.600 no question about no sense taking a chance, right because 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:24.400 you say, okay, this possession, well we'll live to Yeah, 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:28.120 you know, well we'll put punch ball live for another possession. 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.680 But if you're if you're scoring, the quarterbacks got to 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.320 start taking chances. I remember talking to Romo about that 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.760 when you know they were so so, and he was like, well, 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.680 I can't give up a possession. I gotta go for it, right, 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.760 I gotta take a chance. He goes, Okay, I threw 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.600 an interception on third down, big deal, But I had 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.360 to do it because we're we're behind by behind, Yeah, 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.520 behind behind by a couple scores. So yeah, you put 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:56.000 pressure on the posing offenses by scoring yourself, right, not 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.400 kicking field goals. Yeah, I just that's to me, that's 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.000 gonna be if they want to get some reasonable goal 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.080 of thirty or whatever. For I mean, forty I don't 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.160 think is realistic, but thirty, I think it's going to 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.560 come down to, can you put enough pressure on your 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.479 opponents to have to play football with you? Hey? And 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:16.600 if you do, you got a shot. I'm all for that. 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.680 Let's get into a new game here. We're going to 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:22.120 have on our Wednesday and Thursday shows. Wednesday being today, 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.440 we're going to be discussing the Cowboys offense versus the 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.600 Broncos defense. So I asked these guys to give me 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:31.760 one guy on the opponent's defense, Bronchos defense this week 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.160 that they'll be looking at us and to tell me 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:37.640 a little bit more about him. So I'll start, since 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:39.760 you know, we'll get this game going and tomorrow we'll 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.360 switch it. They'll tell me guys on the Broncos offense 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.359 that we need to know about. So you're talking about 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.400 them scoring. Dez Bryant might be a big help for 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.560 this Cowboys offense this week. I think that he will 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.599 be hungry. He's a good receiver when it comes down 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.400 to having to beat up certain secondary guys. Sure the 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.359 guy I'm looking at him to kind of beat up 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.760 in his match as a keep to leap. I think 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.800 that a keep Delibe obviously is an aggressive kind of guy. 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.719 He's from Texas, so I think he's he's looking to 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.960 have this matchup be a little bit of a personal thing, 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.480 personal from Garland. Yeah, which I like to see because 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.960 then you get a real energy and Dez feeds up 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:20.440 that after we saw it last week. I think he'll 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.960 be upset with his performance that he had week one 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.080 and want to go in here hungry. But to keep 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.240 de leip you gotta know that he likes to play 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.680 that that tight with the receiver. Yeah, so his Dez 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:32.480 this is going to be good. I think there will 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:36.200 be fireworks again. But he's good with following the receiver 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.360 but then looking at the quarterback right, so keep Delibe 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.880 will want to be focused on Dak seeing his adjustments. 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.880 He's the leader of their corners. I think, yeah, big 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.560 guy in their super Bowl will win. So this is 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.240 a guy. This a good matchup there, Tay are good, good, 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.120 good thoughts and all very correct. I think this is 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.800 one of those things where to Leib, Dez has a 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:58.880 chance to get really pissed off in this game, and 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.200 I mean pissed off in way maybe frustrated, because what 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.840 happens with Talib, Like you said, he plays such tight 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.800 coverage that he gets away with holding. He gets away 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.520 with a lot of holding, and you know, and we've 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.880 seen when Dez gets into a match with somebody that 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.120 is tries to be just as physical with him, then 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.160 it's a you know, it becomes a frustration factor, especially 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:25.000 if the referees call the game very very loose. You know, 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.680 if he doesn't get his due of going down the 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:29.600 field and having the opportunity to go get the football. 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:32.400 We've seen Dez with a lot of contested catches are 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:36.400 having to make contested catches. That's what Talib will do here. 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.760 So this is this is one of those games that 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.920 could go either way for Dez. It could be a 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.680 high watermark game, you know, productive super be hungry, or 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:49.679 it could be a Volcano game where he just erupts, Yeah, 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.560 and I mean erupts in a pissed off way. Yeah. 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.480 And we saw he got into it with the Giants, Corners, 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.559 Jenkins and all them last week. That's a good matchup 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.800 tape because as good and we'll talk about a certain 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.360 pass rusher here in a minute, but as good as 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.360 they are upfront, that no fly zone that they talk about, 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.480 that secondary is might be the strength of their defense. Yeah. 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:12.960 When you think about what they've been able to do 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:17.400 holding quarterbacks Philip rivers one hundred eighty five passing yards 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.920 last week. I mean, they've got guys who can make plays, 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.360 make plays on the ball. And it's not just to leave. 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:24.880 It's it's Harris, it's Roby, who had an interception the 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.079 other night too. Yes, all right, well you hinted at it. Yeah, 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.240 who's your guy? You're gonna tell you? Yeah, Rob. I'll 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:34.000 go with another Texan, a proud aggie who is probably 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.920 the best overall pass rusher in the NFL, one of 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:39.800 the best we've seen in a long long time, and 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:43.200 that's von Miller. I don't know if there's anybody in 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:48.040 the NFL that can match his combination of first step, power, agility, 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.319 and he's rounding out his game too. I think he's 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:53.880 become better in coverage. They've tried to do things to 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:55.840 be better against the run, but the main thing for 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.360 him is that first step. And they'll move him around. 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:00.440 They'll start him on the week's side, they'll move him 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.160 to the strong side, he'll play left, he'll play right. 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.800 So there's a chance Tyran Smith season Lyle Collins will 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:09.040 see him as well. And he's just he has the 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.600 agility of like a skill position offensive player. I mean, 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.400 he moves like a like a running back out there. Um, 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.360 it's that first step that they've got to be careful of. 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:22.800 He's got over twelve tackles or up sacks per per 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.600 season over his first six seasons in the NFL. And 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.400 he's just a blur. I mean there's a play in 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.440 preseason a couple of weeks ago when they played Green 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.960 Bay where they tried to ship him on the left 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:39.640 side and he spins inside, makes an inside move against 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:41.520 the tackle and just moves away from the I mean, 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.679 he's just he's he's a blur out there. So I 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.679 kind of do I kind of do Miles Garrett, come 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:52.000 on selfish their defensive end. Yeah, Soda wishes he was 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.560 still there. I'll tell you this quarterback. I like what 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.480 Rob's talking about there absolutely, I think you know that's 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.840 gonna be. I don't see them wasting snaps against Tyrn 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.440 Smith with with von Miller. I think that von Miller 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.240 goes the other side, even though it needs right. I 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.000 think you'll see both. But I would be real cautious 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:12.960 to find the broncos of having to play von Miller 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:16.120 down after down after down against Tyrn Smith. That's good. 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.400 Collins is his match. I think Colleges they're gonna beat 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:20.360 up on the right tackles. I think they're gonna try. 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.560 I think they're gonna try. Yeah, and but you know 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.760 this is where And to Rob's point, if you look 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:29.360 at he's got thirty seven career sacks at Sports Authority field, 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.640 twenty three of them have come in the last three years. 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:36.120 So if you talk about home sack, they take great 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.880 advantage of the home field they have with the crowd noise. 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.640 So this is gonna be. Yeah, you're gonna you're gonna 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.440 have to the tackles are gonna have to be right 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.000 on the screws to get this one taking care of 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.600 because again, you're getting some long yarded situations are bad 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:54.800 down in distant situations like Rob was talking about last 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.880 week with the Giants, then all of a sudden, he's 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.440 screaming off the corner. This guy is not as good 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.160 of a run player as he is a pass rusher, 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.600 and I think that's where you got to hammer him 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:06.560 when you get that opportunity. And I think that's what 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.120 you got to do when you play three four defenses. Yeah, 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.960 they got those skinny little defense outside linebackers who are 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:16.680 essentially defensive ends, and you got to keep them occupied 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.360 stopping the run. Right, Just think they're gonna pin their 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.240 ears back the one area of their defense where they 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:23.960 haven't been dominant. Do you think this will be a 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.400 game where Dak will really rely on his mobility making 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.079 sure that he gets the runs. I mean, we've seen 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:30.800 him do it. If he can't find that open pass 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.120 and it wasn't a run play, he's gonna go for 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.800 it himself. Well, I think he has to be careful though. 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.920 This is a defense that can rally to the football. They're, 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.400 like coach Garrett said, are they're a good tackling defense. 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.320 So you have to be careful about. We know, pick 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.960 and choose when you're gonna run. But like what you said, 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.320 Mickey was talking about, you've got to take the football 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:52.000 at these guys. I make Von Miller play backwards. You know, 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:55.439 I've seen him die. I see him in the San 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:59.320 Diego game retreat. You know he does not want to 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:03.240 take on and offensive tackles face to face a lot. 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.920 I mean, yeah, that's that's he's a he's a backup 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.240 and then you know, let somebody else. That's why they 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.559 got those defensive ends. They added some bulk to their 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.520 defensive ends so they could play the run better. They 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.439 were twenty eighth in the league last year in run defense. 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.800 So you have got to hammer Vaughan Miller every chance 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:26.439 you can take to hit him, hit him, slow him up, 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.920 whatever you have. See more of that, Chase Green pulling 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.120 to the right. Yeah, whatever you have to do to 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.760 beat him up, beat him up. Yeah. No, I like 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.040 what you're saying. You're talking about these defensive ends and 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:37.600 you have one two bra And why don't you tell 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.680 us about yours, mister Derrick Wolfe. Yeah, Derek Wolfe is 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:44.480 And I mentioned about Derek Wolfe and Jared crick are 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:46.959 the two crick didn't play last week in this game. 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:50.080 But Jared Wolfe is a guy. When the Broncos got him, 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:53.559 he was a slender built defensive end, probably at two 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.560 eighty five. Well, they've bulked him up. They've average added 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.720 twenty thirty pounds to his frame. He doesn't look as quick, 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.480 but he plays as a head up defensive end. He's 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.200 he's lightly you know, you'll see him what they call 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.520 five technique, so he'll be up over the top of 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:09.320 the tackles right there. So get ready for some of 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.640 those battles. He's a much better run player that he 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:13.520 used to be able to rush the passer. Now he's 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.440 more of a kind of a guy that's hard to 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.040 move in there, slide down inside. If you run the 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.840 ball inside, he's not gonna let you do that, you know. 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:24.560 But he's a he's a protector of Miller and these 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.480 outside linebackers because he can hold up at the edge. 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:31.600 But they had to bulk him up. And he's looks 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.680 way heavier than he than he has and and and 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.440 so I think Dallas is catching these guys really at 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.520 the right time, especially him, because you look at he's 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:42.760 trying to learn how to play with the extra weight. 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.600 You know, he's not as quick and as fast and 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:47.920 getting off the football, and I think that's going to 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.160 play the Cowboys advantage. But what I has seen is 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:53.840 the power at the point, extend the hands, get off blocks. 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.440 Can't allow him just to control. If you're gonna run 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.800 the football, We're gonna run it at Miller. But you 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:03.600 can't allow these Bronco defensive ends to control the game 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.080 inside if you're going to continue to do that. And 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:12.200 they have another inside guy because Rick has been hurt. Right, 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:16.400 he didn't play. Uh, they started Shelby Harris, right, but 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:21.040 off the bench comes not a Texan, not an Australian. 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:26.200 Adam Gotsis. Yes, ended up playing thirty one plays at 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.880 the defensive end spot in their three four right alignment. 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.200 Ended up with five tackles in thirty one plays. That's 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.920 pretty darn good. And he's only a second year player. 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.120 So he's a guy I just thought, interesting story. He 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:43.080 played eight years of Australian rules football. Guy for the 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:49.960 Monash Warriors, by the way, not the Sydney Swans. He's 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.520 from Melbourne, so keep an eye on this guy. He's 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.160 Awthorne Hawks. And as Brian said, they were trying to 0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:00.720 add some bulk now. Replacing Krick was Shelby Harris, right, 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:04.440 and he was on our practice squad here he was, Yes, 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:08.720 I thought that name week sixteen seventeen, so he was 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:10.400 through in the playoffs and he was the guy that 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.560 blocked the field goal at the end, I believe, yes, 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:16.920 But Delby Harris, both of those guys got Street free agent. Yeah, 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.560 they both got penetration and got up in the air 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.480 and he was able to block the Black the field 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.400 goal that would have tied the game, sent it into overtime. Right, 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.680 was a three point game, three point game point So 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.640 keep yeah, keep an eye on these guys inside because 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:35.840 go back. Cowboys need to run the football. That's part 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:39.360 of what they do. And the Chargers only got sixty 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:43.360 four yards rushing, so the Cowboys need to be able 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.320 to move those guys. Now when they go to their 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.600 four man line in nickel, you know, some of those big, 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.120 bulky guys come out. And that that's when I said 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:58.200 they had Shaquille Barrett as the other outside body taken 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:02.560 over taking over force guy named Sean Shane Ray Right, 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:07.639 we know, well right mass ye right, Yeah, he heard himself. 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:12.760 So that that so I don't know how good beartt is. 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:15.399 That gives the Cowboys a break because now that you 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:19.360 don't have the bookend guys, because with Ray and uh 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.520 von Miller coming, you got your hands full where being 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.320 gone there where as he was he was, I mean 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:27.520 he was the guy that took over for where when 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:31.200 he went when he left. So um, yeah, that that 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.480 defensive fronts pretty significant. So the Cowboys have to do 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.679 a good job run blocking, uh, take care of these guys. 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:41.560 Send the Australian back to Australian football. You know, a 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:43.840 great story though, I like hearing about that. Hey, I'm 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.280 gonna say I'm gonna play that the Giants defense. I 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.359 feel like watching them play is better than what the 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.200 Broncos played with it. That makes me feel a lot 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:53.320 better after what we did to Cowboys second I did. 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:56.000 But no, I feel like though that if you look overall, 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:59.040 you know that now of course they've got von Miller 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.919 that there's no doubt. I mean, that's that's one player. 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:03.760 But yeah, if you could find a way, if you 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.320 get if you continue to get what we've seen from 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.840 Collins on the rise, you know, I think that You've 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.120 got to find a way. Mickey said it, run the football, 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:14.679 be successful at it. This team is still trying to 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.800 find their way a play and that I know the Chargers. 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.239 See the Chargers got behind in this game. Yeah, and 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:22.159 once you get behind, then you make them a one 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:25.320 dimensional football team. And they weren't able to do the things. 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:28.200 Dallas has got to stay on schedule and make this 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:32.000 Denver defense have to be physical down after down after 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.000 down and take advantage of your offensive line. Beat up 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:37.199 on these guys when you can. You buy into the 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.679 altitude factor, guys, and to let go ahead, hold that, 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:43.520 hold that thought, you guys start thinking about altitude. Get 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.520 your minds right for that, because when we come back 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.960 from our break, we'll discuss Rob's question and we will 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:52.360 discuss Cowboys offensive players that can help all of your 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:55.160 guys's troubles.
