Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 2: Cowboys, Let's go. Are you ready for a break? Yes?

4
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 2: Are you ready for a break?

5
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

6
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: Ready for a break?

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 4: Yeah?

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 5: And so much for that.

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: with Ambar Garcia, Brian brought us, Nick Harris, and Derek Eagleton.

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 4: It is Monday, September ninth, twenty twenty four, and we

12
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 4: are here. Man, what a weekend, What a weekend. That

13
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 4: was awesome. Cowboys kick off the NFL season with a win,

14
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 4: big win on the road against the Cleveland Browns. I

15
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 4: think it was probably much more in the way of

16
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 4: scoring by the out Boys than any of us expected,

17
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 4: but it was a win, and it was an impressive

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 4: win to get things kicked off for this season. We're

19
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 4: presented by LG and so let's jump right in. Let's

20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 4: get into the meat of this game. Let's start first

21
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 4: with what we thought was the story of the game.

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 4: As we did last year, We'll go around the table

23
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 4: and tell what you think was the big story, the

24
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 4: big picture story of the game. No One, we'll get

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 4: into some of the details. What was the big picture story,

26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 4: I'll start.

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 2: With you Nick.

28
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 6: For me, it has to start with the defensive unit.

29
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 6: I mean, at all three levels, just executed to perfection.

30
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 6: I think we expected it with this defensive front. Like

31
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 6: we talked about last week. You know, they were battling

32
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 6: some injuries at the tackle positions, ended up being both

33
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 6: the starting left tackle and starting right tackle did not

34
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 6: play in this game. So I mean, you look at

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 6: the pressures that were generated on Deshaun Watson, it was

36
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 6: twenty plus. Micah himself had twelve plus. It was a

37
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 6: big day for that defensive line. Then you look at

38
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 6: the linebacking corps, and we talked about during training camp

39
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 6: and as we've seen these guys get on the field

40
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 6: and work together, they are so much more improved in

41
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 6: that position. You saw Eric Kendricks get after it to

42
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 6: Marvin Overshown got after it. If I had to pick

43
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 6: my top two defenders from yesterday, it might be those

44
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 6: two guys. They looked so strong, they were filling running lanes,

45
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 6: they were getting after the quarterback. Eric Kendricks had two sacks,

46
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 6: Overshown had one, and then you look at the secondary.

47
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 6: Trayvon Dix gets an interception on one of the rare

48
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 6: opportunities that he was even tested. And then you look

49
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 6: at Kaylin Carson and he did just fine for his

50
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 6: NFL debut. Safety group was strong. It has to start

51
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 6: with the defense for me. Sure they gave up a

52
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 6: garbage time touchdown late, but this defense, it really stood

53
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 6: tall and made life really difficult for the pass and

54
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 6: run game for Cleveland.

55
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 3: Absolutely. I think the defense is a great storyline for sure.

56
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: But to me, what caught my even more was the

57
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 3: offense overall. Because we went into a game wondering, Okay,

58
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 3: Ceedee Lamb actually gonna be able to step up his

59
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: you know, not miss a beat. Is dok Presca going

60
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: to be able to perform right after getting such a

61
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: big so a lot of questions surrounding that, as well

62
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: as the the o line and the running game. And

63
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: I think for me, and when you see an offense

64
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: or Brandon Aubrey scoring for field goals, obviously you're like, Okay,

65
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: there's a room for improvement for the offense for sure.

66
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 3: But something that I caught my eye and that was

67
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 3: very impressive was that they were able to put up

68
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 3: with the physicality and how tough and physical was the

69
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: Brown's defense sometimes, and not to say that the Cowboys

70
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: are not physical themselves when it comes to offense, but

71
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: you know, you see games where it does wear them

72
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: down and then they start kind of playing not as strong.

73
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: And these guys, man, they were hitting hard and just

74
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 3: tackling hard. So for me, that's something that when I

75
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 3: saw some of those hits and it still didn't stop them.

76
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 3: In general, you saw the players get back up Hunter Lipke,

77
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 3: another guy Zeke making some of those helping blocking. It's

78
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 3: just the offense was a lot more physical than I

79
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: expected them to be in week one and to meet

80
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 3: that caught my eye. Of course, room for improvement, but

81
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: that's something that was good to me.

82
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: I think even if Cleveland was healthy on offense, Dallas

83
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: would have done the same thing. Defensively to them, they

84
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: played that well. They were buttoned up in this one.

85
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: The rotations they had at the defensive line spot, the

86
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 2: ability of Mike and the staff to be able to

87
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: kind of put guys in position to make plays, the

88
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: guys in the back end or able to hold up

89
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 2: the safeties played well. You know, you got some guys

90
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: that probably didn't show up on the stat sheet that

91
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 2: looked really well OsO, Diggy Zoo. Well, I had some

92
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,239
Speaker 2: really some nice plays, some rushes there again, Mike moving around,

93
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: Micah moving around Tank, putting them on the same side.

94
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: They really did a nice job of confusing not only

95
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: the quarterback, but they did a really good job of refuge,

96
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: of confusing the blocking scheme for the Browns. You could

97
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 2: see there were several times where guys were blocking air

98
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 2: instead of like maybe being a double on Parsons, maybe

99
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: being a double on Tank, maybe you know, trying to

100
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: help out there. So there were some scheme things that

101
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: they were able to do defensively. This group at linebackers

102
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: completely different. And it's not just overshown, but all these

103
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 2: guys lea foul got in there for a few plays

104
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 2: was effective. You know, look at Kendricks the way that

105
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: he plays, He's just always around the ball. They just

106
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: it was really impressive to watch how they played as

107
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 2: a unit up front and even I mean Lewis playing

108
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: the nickel. They just did not give anything up on

109
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: the back end. And so much of that pressure was

110
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: because of the scheme and the way that guys were

111
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: able to play throughout the scheme, and they were in

112
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: good shape. We remember Green Bay and what a disaster

113
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 2: that was with guys running open and guys out of

114
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: position all that. No, that was a complete opposite of

115
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: what we saw in that day yesterday. And they took

116
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: advantage of a broken quarterback, and that's good. You take

117
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: advantage of a broken offensive line, that's good. Times we've

118
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: been around here and that hasn't always been the case.

119
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: It's like I remember games where oh the Giants are

120
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 2: down four offensive linemen and Eli Manning throws for four

121
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: hundred yards. You know they used to not do these things.

122
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: Now you see that, And I think that's really what

123
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: came off to me is that group was buttoned up.

124
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: They were ready to play. The scheme was good, the

125
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: players were good. It was well coached.

126
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 6: I'll say this is about the defensive unit. They probably

127
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 6: should have had ten sacks. Yes, sure, yeah, there was

128
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 6: so the.

129
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 4: Game you could say, like Michael was like, yeah, we

130
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 4: had some opportunities we missed.

131
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: We miss well. That's we talked about in the breakdown

132
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 2: is weak arm tackle. You got to go in there.

133
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 2: You saw how you need to bring Deshaun Watson to

134
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 2: the ground. Overshown is that you know in space, you tackle,

135
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: you wrap, you see you know, that's what you got

136
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 2: to do, and that's that's the lesson you learned. Tank

137
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: had the same thing happened to him. When you watch

138
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 2: he you know, there was some really good blitz designs.

139
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: The one of the one of the sacks they had

140
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 2: I thought was a really good design was your two

141
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: best pass rushers dropped in coverage. They brought the They

142
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: brought the slot bliz with Lewis. It's the first time

143
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 2: he does it the whole game. He drops Mikey, he

144
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 2: drops Tank, and next you know, it's like they're on

145
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: top of the quarterback. And so Mike had some ideas

146
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: of how he wanted to attack these guys, and his

147
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: players played really hard for him and did an excellent

148
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: job of executing that.

149
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 6: I just saw.

150
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: And Kendricks he's a freaking beast. I just saw him.

151
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 3: He's he was running around the field just now before

152
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: the show. I'm like, dude, I'm tired. I will and

153
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: I'm tired. But they're out there. So again, it's just very,

154
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: very impressive to finally see the linebacker group played the

155
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 3: way they did after what happened last season.

156
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they it was It's one of those things and

157
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 2: we talked about it a bunch coming out of Oxnard. Though.

158
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: This linebacker group will be better, and I think they

159
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: got off to a great start yesterday. I really do.

160
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 4: Let's flip to the offensive side of the ball. I

161
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 4: want to talk about my man Dak Prescott. Yesterday, he's

162
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 4: nineteen thirty two, fifty nine percent completion, one hundred and

163
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 4: seventy nine yards, one touchdown, eighty five point three quarterback grating,

164
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 4: and sixty million dollars a year.

165
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, wealthier.

166
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 4: And then well I told my wife, I said, baby

167
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 4: MJ's grandkids just got really yeah rich, Like that's the

168
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 4: kind of money we're talking This is generational wealth that

169
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 4: we're talking about for Dak Prescott. But the interesting part

170
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 4: about it yesterday was I just read off those numbers

171
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 4: not terribly impressive, but if you look at the first half,

172
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 4: you thought he was on his way to a monster day.

173
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: He had.

174
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 4: He was fourteen to twenty one, sixty seven percent completions,

175
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty six yards through the air, a touchdown,

176
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 4: and a one oh four point five rating just in

177
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 4: the first half. So my question for you guys is

178
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 4: what was the difference in the first and the second half?

179
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 2: Was it more.

180
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 4: Hey, they didn't have to do as much, so they

181
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 4: didn't do as much, did they did? They start running

182
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 4: in some bigger problems with Cleveland that they didn't experience

183
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 4: in the first half.

184
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 6: What was the different Brian might have a different perspective here,

185
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 6: but for me, it was just a really good defensive

186
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 6: coordinator making really good defensive adjustments and it stifled this offense.

187
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 6: And there's definitely some concerns that are not concerns, But

188
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 6: I think there's a lot of things that they can

189
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 6: go back and watch today in the passing game. In

190
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 6: the running game, was just no momentum created after the

191
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 6: halftime break. And fortunately you have a guy like Brandon

192
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 6: Aubrey who could bailw you out of a couple of

193
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 6: situations and get you three points. But didn't love the

194
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 6: offensive production in the second half. In the passing game specifically,

195
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 6: I think you started to see a little bit of

196
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 6: that rhythm between DAK and CD, maybe not being one

197
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 6: hundred percent, I think you maybe saw it at seventy

198
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 6: five percent in this game, and you started to see

199
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 6: why that was the case. In the second half, that

200
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 6: Brandon Cooks comes out for dehydration, it kind of messes

201
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 6: up the passing game a little bit, but overall, I mean,

202
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 6: that's why you build that first half lead. Fortunately for them,

203
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 6: they built it strongly enough. But I thought it was

204
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 6: just a really good defensive coach who made really good

205
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 6: defensive adjustments.

206
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're onto something there too, and you

207
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: look the start to talk it to me, if the

208
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: second half for Ezekiel Elliott would have been ten carries

209
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 2: for forty yards, I would have felt a lot better

210
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 2: about the offense, you know, and initially though there was

211
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: some really good design. You're get to give Dak credit

212
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: on the touchdown to Cooks because they don't block. The

213
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: front's not blocked, right. You know, they did catchup Blitzer.

214
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: They had enough blockers to take care of the Blitzer.

215
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: Dak just did a great job of getting rid of

216
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: the football and find knowing that Cooks was on Thornhill

217
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: and Thornhill can't cover me. I'm sorry, Thornhill, you can't

218
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 2: cover me on the rock. But it just you know,

219
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: they run by. It's a great design and yeah, but

220
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 2: there was some creativity the way. The creativity came with

221
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: them with running the ball early, and that's what I

222
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 2: think they had some success was the traps, the polls movement.

223
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 2: It wasn't like, listen, we're going to sit there and

224
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: get go shoe to shoe and try and push these guys.

225
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 2: We're gonna try and be a little bit more creative

226
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: with it. And there's some things. You're gonna watch this

227
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: game and you're gonna go back and you're gonna go darn,

228
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,599
Speaker 2: you know, come on, daddle. That thing's blocked, right, You

229
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 2: got to cut that ball. You can't run the darkness there,

230
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: you know. The traps and the things that they were

231
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: able to do to spring Zeke I thought were really good.

232
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 2: I think at the second half it just came how

233
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 2: do you run the how do you just try and

234
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 2: run the clock? Mike comes out. I think got lost

235
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 2: as a game as a play call on the second

236
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 2: three straight pass players and you're like going, all right, now,

237
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 2: where's your where's your running? To me? It would have

238
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: been running game, waggles boots, running game, running game, running game,

239
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 2: waggle boot, you know, just make they did in the

240
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: first half. They did a great job of making the

241
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 2: Browns have to defend the whole field that they were playing, sidelines,

242
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 2: the sideline, and we really weren't getting you know, we

243
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: weren't getting a lot of the vertical shots. You know,

244
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: but it's a shame that you had the deep incut

245
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: that that Turpin dropped. You know, that was that was

246
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: one of the best balls that pressures all around Dak

247
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 2: and they throw it down the middle and Turpin drops it.

248
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 2: You're like, damn, you got to catch that ball. You know.

249
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 2: Those are things in the first half where you were

250
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: kind of like encouraged, and in the second half it

251
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: was like playing watching a preseason game where you're just like, why,

252
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: why is the ball, Why is the ball going into

253
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: the ground, Why is the running game not working? Why?

254
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 2: You know, it was just like the defense was playing

255
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: so well that McCarthy knew that, and it's like instead

256
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: of saying, Okay, we got to amp this thing up,

257
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 2: I've got to find a way to get that get

258
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: the running game going a little bit. You know, that's

259
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: where I was hopeful. I was hoping that second half

260
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: they come out and all of a sudden, it's like, Okay,

261
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 2: let's see how well and Guiden much better run blocker

262
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: than pass blocker yesterday, bbe much better pass blocker than

263
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: run blocker yesterday. You know, still outstanding. Was worried about

264
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 2: him in this game. They had some guys that were

265
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 2: playing at a high level. They just they missed some opportunities.

266
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 2: I think in the second half.

267
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 3: That's the thing that I feel like you saw a

268
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: lot of different elements are very promising there. You're like, Okay,

269
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 3: I can work with this, you can work with this.

270
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 3: They can make it happen. But it is concerning and

271
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: I'm not going to kill them this first week because Okay,

272
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 3: at least he didn't give up the ball, he didn't

273
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 3: throw an interception, and they were able to manage to

274
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 3: win the game. But I hope it doesn't become that

275
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 3: whole thing that is happened in previous year where the

276
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 3: defense is playing so hard, then you got Brandon Nobrey

277
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 3: the one scoring points, and then the offense is just

278
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 3: not really doing enough. Because we've seen that, I know,

279
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's been two years in a

280
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 3: row now where we've seen kind of some of that

281
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 3: happening at some point in the season where the offense

282
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 3: is just kind of trailing behind, and then it's happened

283
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 3: where it just kind of flips and the defense started

284
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 3: trailing behind and then the offense scoring points. But all

285
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 3: that to say, I think we saw a lot of

286
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: different elements that are very very makes me feel very

287
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 3: hopeful in the running game Tyler Guyan, things are very promising.

288
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 3: You talked about the difference in him and bebe at

289
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 3: least there's some balance there.

290
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, it was Yeah. When you watch, when

291
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: you watch him play, I felt like it was a

292
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: matter of survival for Tyler Guyton out there attack and

293
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: it wasn't always just it was not just dealing with Garrett,

294
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 2: it was dealing with Smith and everybody. I mean, he

295
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 2: was fighting to he was bending, he was Yeah, he

296
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: was trying his best not to. The run blocking stuff

297
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: I thought was very encouraging. And we've seen him, you

298
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 2: know in Oklahoma. We didn't always talk about Tyler Guyton

299
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 2: is a good run block, but they had some situations

300
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: in that game. Bbe's got to figure out a little

301
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 2: bit more. But when they pushed that thing second level,

302
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: he's got to locate. And Cormora can play. Corey Mora

303
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: the linebacker for the Browns. He will make every single

304
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: tackle if you don't block him in the running game,

305
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: and there was a couple of times where you know,

306
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: bbe they got hooked up and he couldn't get off,

307
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: he couldn't get to the guy, and then they and

308
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: then when they would block it, well, well, as I mentioned,

309
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: daddle runs the darkness, make the cut, you you know,

310
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: keep your eyes open. But that's the kind of stuff.

311
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: I just they lost that in the second half. They

312
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: lost the ability to separate, They lost the ability to

313
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: the quarterback to be accurate throwing the football. The play caller,

314
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: I think got out of a little bit of rhythm too,

315
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: with how he was he was thinking, well, my defense

316
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: is playing great. I'm just gonna just gonna call ball

317
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: plays here. And then you know, but there could have

318
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: been some purpose, There could have been some better purpose

319
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 2: with him in the second half. You know.

320
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 4: That's something I think I've noticed about Mike McCarthy, And

321
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 4: I go back to what he said.

322
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: He had a comment.

323
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 4: I can't remember exactly when it happened, but it was

324
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 4: after they had let or they separated with Kellen Moore

325
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 4: and something. It was something to the effect of, you know,

326
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 4: sometimes you get in these games and Kellen wants to

327
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 4: get to swing the score up, and we just see

328
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 4: we want to win the game, and I think he

329
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 4: calls games like that. I think he's gonna be that

330
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 4: type where if he's got a league, he may try

331
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 4: to just protect that lead versus getting more aggressive at

332
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 4: that point to keep running the score up, which can

333
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 4: be good or bad. Now, when you got a defense

334
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 4: that's playing as well as a defense played yesterday, it

335
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 4: actually could be okay. But it does get you a

336
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 4: little nervous in the NFL, because we saw three teams

337
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 4: yesterday in the NFL were down fourteen points that came

338
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 4: back and won a lead. Is not safe in the NFL.

339
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 2: No, it's not. And the thing the way they kind

340
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: of went around it to to try and get some

341
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 2: offense or maybe run the ball a little bit better,

342
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: was they got into that twenty two personnel with the

343
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: two backs, two tight ends. Yeah that, and then twenty

344
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: one personnel with the two backs one tight end, and

345
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: it became Hunter Lipkey. Hunter Lipkey was actually your best

346
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: point of attack. And I know I'm not sure because

347
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: you're sitting there and I know you like should be.

348
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: But the thing with Hunter Lipkey, he was your Ferguson's

349
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: out and now you got to kind of kind of

350
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: cobble this thing together hunter Lipkey figured out he was

351
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 2: your best point of attack blocker when you watched him.

352
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: He was the one guy that like, Okay, I can

353
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: see why they're running twenty two personnel. I could see

354
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: why they're running twenty one personnel here because he was

355
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: able to do some things. Now, the players weren't always successful,

356
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: but he was successful in in his task. I was

357
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: watching him like, oh, that's a plus block. Well that

358
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: was a plus block. Well that was another plus block.

359
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 2: You know they didn't have that always across the board

360
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: in the second half.

361
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's turning into one of those players. I think

362
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 4: that you could see the vision.

363
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 2: You can rely on him.

364
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 4: But over time you're seeing get better and better and better,

365
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 4: and it is going to come a point when he's

366
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 4: gonna be a really, really nice piece for this offense.

367
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 4: All right, let's sick our first break. We're gonna come back.

368
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 4: We'll talk a little bit about the running game a

369
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 4: little deeper. I want to ask you guys more specifically

370
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 4: what you felt about the usage of the two backs

371
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 4: and even just to pass to run ratio yesterday in

372
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 4: the game, and we'll talk about that when we come back.

Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

374
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 7: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

375
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 7: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

376
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 7: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

377
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 7: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

378
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 7: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

379
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 7: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

380
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 7: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

381
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,199

382

442

Speaker 4: was brought to you about blockchain dot com. All right,

443
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 4: let's talk about the running game yesterday. You mentioned earlier

444
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 4: Brian Zeke had those ten carries for forty yards in

445
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 4: a touchdown thirty five of those yards came in the

446
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 4: first half, yes, sir, and just as we were talking

447
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 4: about with Dak Prescott, it was a tail of two halves.

448
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 4: The second half not really much. First, talk to me

449
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 4: about the usage you had. Zeke had ten carries, Dowdle

450
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 4: had eight carries. How did you guys feel about the

451
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 4: usage of those two backs and maybe even other backs

452
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 4: and how they ran the ball. I thought in the

453
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 4: first half it was interesting because he did a lot

454
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 4: of you know, had CD had three different runs. Yeah,

455
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 4: they were kind of doing different things in the run game.

456
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 4: But what were your thoughts on distribution when it comes

457
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 4: to the running game.

458
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 6: I feel like they mix it up well. But again,

459
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 6: the creativity in the run game only came from a

460
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 6: personnel perspective, and it came from these end rounds from

461
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 6: Ceedee Lamb and granted three of them for twenty five yards,

462
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 6: And it felt like every time that he was getting

463
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 6: that ball in the end round, he had a blocker

464
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 6: in front of him. Shout out to Jalen Tolbert. He

465
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 6: laid two good blocks on those end rounds. But as

466
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 6: far as when it comes to the Ezekiel Elliot and

467
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 6: Rico doubt Oll case. I just don't feel like there's

468
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 6: enough creativity in the running game there for them to

469
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 6: be able to pay some running lanes. You saw the

470
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 6: hurdle on the first play. That was fun, but aside

471
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 6: from that, it didn't It was fun. It didn't inspire

472
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,959
Speaker 6: a lot of confidence from me the running game, specifically,

473
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 6: eighteen carries for sixty six yards between the two of them.

474
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 6: I did like to split though, because I think it

475
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 6: kept them both fresh, it kept them both active, and

476
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 6: it wasn't a situation where we've seen this in the past,

477
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 6: or at least last season. It wasn't a situation where

478
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 6: it was, Okay, this is Zeke on this drive, Okay,

479
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 6: this is Rico on this drive. It was mixing them

480
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 6: both in as the drive went on, and I think

481
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 6: that's probably what you have to do. It's the approach

482
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 6: that you have to take when it comes to this

483
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 6: running game. But I still don't feel like there's enough creativity.

484
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 6: But I do feel like these guys can get out

485
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 6: in the open field. It's just can they be schemed

486
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 6: out into the open field?

487
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

488
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: Elliott's best play was really a draw that they ran.

489
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: If you look at it. To play with Geyt and

490
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 2: he pushes Garret up the field and then Smith pins

491
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 2: his guy inside and then you get Ferguson's up on

492
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: delpit and you know, that's that's kind of where if

493
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: BB gets the linebacker, that play is going to go

494
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 2: for even a bigger game. So that's how they tried

495
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 2: to run the ball. The jet sweeps, the traps, the

496
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 2: various things were these backs were the best help to

497
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 2: you yesterday was picking up blitzes and picking up you

498
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 2: know several times, you know, if you want Toeke. Zeke

499
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 2: had a good Zeke day for ten carries and forty

500
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 2: yards and then being able to pick up blitzes. Even

501
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 2: the first sack that they gave up to Tom Winson,

502
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: Zeke picked up the blitz. I mean it was Martin

503
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: just got broke down, but Zeke saved the play because

504
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 2: if but you know, Martin gets that block, then maybe

505
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 2: you have a chance. Because of just what Zeke was

506
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 2: able to do. But I felt like that he and

507
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 2: Dawdell when it was asked that they had to when

508
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 2: they had to pass block, they were up to the task.

509
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 2: I would not be opposed if they could figure this

510
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 2: thing out. Zeke just be the third down guy. I

511
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 2: wouldn't be opposed to that. I mean, to me, it's

512
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: maybe you pop him on a draw, maybe you throw

513
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,479
Speaker 2: them a screen, maybe you let him blitz pick up.

514
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: Maybe you know, there's things I think you could do

515
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 2: with him and not make him the featured guy. But

516
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: you know, they'll they'll hopefully figure all that out. I

517
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 2: just didn't I liked what they tried to do in

518
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 2: the first half of the creativity. I don't like the

519
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 2: execution of it in the second half. And maybe the

520
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: commitment that lacked a little bit of the commitment to

521
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 2: doing it too. You know, maybe they needed more of that. Okay,

522
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 2: we're going to we're gonna try this this series. We're

523
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: gonna come out and see how many times we can

524
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 2: run the ball, and if we're getting three yards a shot,

525
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: we'll make this thing fourth and one and we'll, you know,

526
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: or maybe we'll pop a run here. But they could

527
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 2: have they could have done more with it. They could

528
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 2: have done a lot more with this running game.

529
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 6: I think in my perspective, you say, you know, Zeke

530
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 6: probably only used on third down opportunities. However, I look

531
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 6: at you know, Zeke versus Rico Daubtle and early down opportunities.

532
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 6: I feel like they are similarly productive. I can't say

533
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 6: that word. Just if I need five yards on first down,

534
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 6: it'd be like, Okay, let's set up a manageable second

535
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 6: and five. Which guy can get me? Give me those

536
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 6: five yards?

537
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: I thought maybe that Daddell could. I mean, Zeke looked

538
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 2: good that when they handed him the ball. There was

539
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 2: a there was a couple of times where you watch

540
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 2: and you're thinking, okay, and I mentioned BB and and

541
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 2: if they just get this block or they get this

542
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: you know they can, it's going to be it's going

543
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 2: to look better. And I'm just to me, I was

544
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 2: like the I was sitting there thinking Dall's probably got

545
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 2: more explosive to him, but he didn't play like he

546
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: had more explosiveness to him. Yesterday. You know, the one

547
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 2: guy that had the Vaughan had the one carry and

548
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 2: they ran they ran a draw on that one inside

549
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: hand and it was like he had four yards. But

550
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 2: they've got it. They've got to do a better job

551
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 2: of with BB and these guards and stuff handling the

552
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 2: inside linebacker, those inside three. If they're going to want

553
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 2: to run the ball better, and I think that's something

554
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 2: they're missed out.

555
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 6: On one thing I think was interesting about Yes, specifically

556
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 6: in the Deuce Swawan case, is I think he earned

557
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 6: a roster spot moving forward for at least the next

558
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 6: few weeks because of what he did on special teams.

559
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 6: His block, the block on the he had the first

560
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 6: block turn touchdown, that was the big one. He sealed

561
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 6: off and was able to create that big open hole.

562
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 6: And then you see him as part of that escort

563
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 6: leading down to charge for turpin on the sideline. That

564
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 6: was huge, and I think that's going to end up

565
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 6: at least solidifying his roster spot moving forward for a

566
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 6: few games. How does that translate into him actually getting

567
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 6: some carries on offense. I would have liked to see

568
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 6: him get three touches. Yeah, but he only got the

569
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 6: one for four yards, like you said, Brian, But I

570
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 6: hope that manifests a little bit more.

571
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 2: I'm with you on that, because you're right. The first

572
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 2: if the first block that needed to be made on

573
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 2: the return, and it happened with the shortest guy, the

574
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 2: smallest guy. He got the block. Jan Ye, Thomas got

575
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 2: the block, and now we're now we're got an alley

576
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: to run.

577
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 9: The ball in.

578
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: And I like I said, you worry about him? What

579
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 2: all can he do? Can he block well enough? On

580
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 2: specially Yeah, he got the key block that got the

581
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 2: thing too into the alley, so you're able to score.

582
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, but he does need to get more touches.

583
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 2: He really really does.

584
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 4: Yesterday, the Cowboys had a Tide record three starters that

585
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 4: were rookies yesterday with those two offensive linemen, BP Geiton

586
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 4: and then Kayln Carson as well. Let's start, particularly with

587
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 4: the offensive lineman and.

588
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 2: Talk to me.

589
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 4: I want to talk a little bit about strategically how

590
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 4: the Cowboys used them, because I think all things being considered,

591
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 4: I think they played well enough for their first starts

592
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 4: against the defensive front that was as good.

593
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 2: As that one.

594
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 4: I think all the way around, when you look at it,

595
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 4: I would say that that was a good start for them.

596
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 4: It's it had its moments where it was kind of rough,

597
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 4: but it was it was okay. One of the things

598
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 4: I think they did strategically I thought was really good

599
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 4: was they did move the pocket quite a bit and

600
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 4: they would rotate everybody away from Garrett, which bought Dak

601
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 4: more time to be able to move around and look

602
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 4: for open guys. What's your assessment of how they used

603
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 4: them and how they performed under those circumstances.

604
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think from our vantage point in the press box,

605
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 6: it couldn't quite see the line as much as maybe

606
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 6: some other places. So I still do need to go

607
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 6: back and look at it from an all twenty two perspective.

608
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 6: But when I look at the Cooper BBK specifically, every

609
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 6: time that he was popping up on my screen or

610
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 6: in my eyes, he was looking good and he was

611
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 6: getting after it. I agree with you, Brian as far

612
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 6: as him being a little bit better in pass pro

613
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 6: H got and be a little bit better and run protection.

614
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 6: But I think for guiding he was certainly bending. Garrett

615
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 6: was given and had given it to him a few

616
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 6: times exactly.

617
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: But I think he was in a revolving door a

618
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 2: couple of times. Yeah, Yes, it turks you out, and

619
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 2: he was caught. He was trying to get out. But

620
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: that's the point. Yes, that's what I've seen Garrett do that. Yeah,

621
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 2: and you know the kids are rookie, and I'll let

622
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 2: you finish your point there.

623
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, the kids are rookie, and that's that's exactly that

624
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 6: you did not need them to be all pros yesterday.

625
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 6: You just needed them to provide a solid job, and

626
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 6: I feel like they did that, both of them. I

627
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 6: give BB the slightly higher grade. I just really love

628
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 6: again what he did in past protection because I think

629
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 6: the biggest problem that you saw with Tyler bish last year.

630
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 6: And I'm a little bit higher on Tyler b be

631
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 6: Oddis than others, but I do feel like they did

632
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 6: need to make a change at center. The biggest problem

633
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 6: that you saw with him is he created zero depth

634
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 6: in that pocket. And Dak is so strong when he's

635
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 6: able to step up, identify his second and third reads

636
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 6: and be able to make that play. And there were

637
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 6: times last year. There were games last year where he

638
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 6: just couldn't do that. And I think if Cooper BB

639
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 6: can give the depth to that pocket on a consistent basis,

640
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 6: it's gonna allow Dak to be a lot more free.

641
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 6: I mean, we talked about the experience that they have

642
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 6: in the interior defensive line with guys like Dalvin Tomlinson,

643
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 6: and he rocked, he roped to Dak on that very

644
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 6: first play that was Zach Martin's fault. But Cooper BB,

645
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 6: he looked like he was matching them bar for bar,

646
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 6: so it was it was a really strong DA B

647
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 6: for BB.

648
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 2: Yeah I think that. Yeah, I would give the higher

649
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: grade to BB. Like I say, but the run block

650
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 2: and stuff. It if as long as you're run block

651
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 2: and I'll be okay with that. But the thing too

652
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: about the uh you know when you when you look

653
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 2: it over, I wish I would have said this when

654
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,959
Speaker 2: we were talking about the going into the game. And

655
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 2: I'm not taking anything away. The cow always went out

656
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 2: there and got this victory yesterday. I think he caught

657
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett at a really good time. He looked like

658
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: he was gassed in this game. There looked like times

659
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 2: where he wasn't in when you will go back and

660
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: you watch the tape and I got him this morning

661
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 2: and did where they had him on the sidelines several

662
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 2: times and you're kind of thinking, like, Okay, he's not

663
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 2: rushing his heart, He's not, you know, he's the one

664
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 2: time he got that sack at Yeah, he was. It

665
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 2: was Miles Garrett, but it looked like to me he

666
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 2: was kind of picking and choosing, and they've tried to

667
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 2: move him around. And I thought that him. I thought Steel,

668
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: I thought Geyton, I thought they had a good plan.

669
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: I thought that chipping was helpful. The backs were helpful,

670
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 2: you know, anytime that they could kind of take a shot,

671
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 2: even if it was taken a shot to make him

672
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: slow down a little bit. I thought they had a

673
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: really really good plan for this guy and how to

674
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 2: play him. But I think he also caught him maybe

675
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 2: with conditioning not be at a peak level for him,

676
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 2: which and I wish I would have said that like that.

677
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 2: These guys, this is really their first A lot of

678
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: them don't get to play, you know, in preseason. He

679
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 2: probably worked against the Eagles and stuff like that. I'm

680
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 2: sure had preseason games and they worked against somebody. But

681
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 2: you could tell that he wasn't as you know, he

682
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 2: wasn't as Miles Garrett as he's normally Miles Garrett. Maybe

683
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 2: in week four, conditioning will be a lot better for

684
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 2: him and the way he plays, you know, ironically, that's

685
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 2: but they did a good job up front. The line

686
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: did a good job. But I'm just saying, yeah, I

687
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 2: think you might have caught him at the right time

688
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 2: with some of his like being off.

689
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 3: Well, we ever got the luck on our side, so

690
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 3: good thing for us. This is just kind of the

691
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 3: start that these players needed.

692
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 4: I don't feel sorry yet.

693
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 2: Nobody feel sorry. But I'm just saying, if you if

694
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 2: you want to say, good scheme, good idea, good plan,

695
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 2: good execution. But maybe you caught him at the right

696
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 2: time too. That that's always you know, Hey, you said

697
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: Cooks went off the field for an ivy, you know, Kendrick.

698
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, people Dad going off. Yeah, that was tough.

699
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 6: It wasn't like it was a hot day either. It

700
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 6: was a beautiful day for football. It was just the

701
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 6: matter of playing for sixty minutes, right.

702
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: Well, Dallas in the first half might have worn him

703
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,719
Speaker 2: down too, I mean, with the situation, ran a lot

704
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 2: of plays.

705
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 6: No.

706
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,719
Speaker 3: I was just saying that it worked out perfectly, and

707
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 3: I give them props because again, we got to remember

708
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 3: these two guys, the rookies, it's very tough. It's a

709
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 3: very different level when you're practicing, and even from practice

710
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 3: to college, all those changes. When you hit a real

711
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 3: football game, NFL level, it's very very different. The speed

712
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 3: is so different, and when you're going up against the

713
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 3: guy like Garrett, I mean, it's another let So these guys, again,

714
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 3: I thought they did a really really good job. Didn't

715
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 3: make a whole lot of mistakes, and you can only

716
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 3: hope it can keep getting better from this point forward.

717
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 3: So I really don't have any negative thing to say

718
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 3: about either of them. And we shall see what happens next.

719
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 3: And I'm glad you know it wasn't Week four like

720
00:31:58,360 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 3: you're saying, Bryan.

721
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 2: You think it's something that I'm just kind of grateful

722
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 2: after watching the way how many times I was worried

723
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 2: about him really wearing them out, and he didn't. He

724
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 2: didn't wear them out, and that was something good. But

725
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: give Steel credit to in this game, I thought, Yeah,

726
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 2: I thought, very well.

727
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 3: Another thing, no penalties, Really, I don't remember any penalty called.

728
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 2: A lot on special teams.

729
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 6: It was a lot on special teams. I'm talking about

730
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 6: the defensive unit.

731
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 4: Offense as you didn't have.

732
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

733
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, really worried about the holding, Yeah, I was worried

734
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 4: about that.

735
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 3: For get the hen placement said, do you get into

736
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 3: much in your head and not being us disciplined enough?

737
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 3: So I think that's another how do you call it?

738
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 6: Check check?

739
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 3: Are you check marketing?

740
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 4: All right, we're gonna take out a final break, we'll

741
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 4: come back. Let's talk about a little bit on the defense.

742
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 4: But really I want to get to what I thought

743
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 4: was may have been the best unit for the Cowboys

744
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,520

00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 7: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

786
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 7: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

787
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 7: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

788
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 7: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

789
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 7: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

790
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 7: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

791
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 7: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

792
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 7: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

Speaker 4: Final segment of the break Lot from the SWBC Mortgage

801
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 4: studios at the Star. We were rolling along. We're getting

802
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 4: our win back, getting our voice back. It's been a

803
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 4: good weekend. Let's finish this thing strong. All right, Let's

804
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 4: talk about the defense and the special teams. The first

805
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 4: thing I want to talk about the defense is really

806
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 4: around them stopping them. And I think coming into this

807
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 4: year and coming off of last year. There were two

808
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 4: things I thought the Cowboys had to get better at.

809
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 4: One stopping them run. One running the ball. We already

810
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 4: talked about their run offense yesterday, but let's talk about

811
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 4: the rush defense. The interesting part was, although when you

812
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 4: look at it as a stat at the end of

813
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 4: the game they allowed four point nine yards per rush.

814
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 4: It wasn't a factor in the game. But I wouldn't

815
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 4: say you necessarily.

816
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 2: Stopped the run.

817
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 4: But if you go ahead and look at the first half,

818
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 4: actually played a lot better. And this is kind of

819
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 4: the tail of two halves.

820
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 2: Again.

821
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 4: In the first half they held them to only six

822
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 4: carries for an average of three point eight yards per

823
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 4: carry twenty three total yards. So what did you think

824
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 4: overall about the run defense yesterday?

825
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think overall, I think it started up front

826
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 6: with the battle and the trenches, and this was I

827
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 6: think this was another product of the Cleveland Browns having

828
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 6: to play musical chairs on their offensive line figure out

829
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 6: who was playing. I mean, they didn't know who was

830
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 6: starting at right tackle until ninety minutes before kickoff. I

831
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 6: think it was more so a product of that. But

832
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,919
Speaker 6: I don't want to take anything away from the defensive unit.

833
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 6: Because I feel like they really started that game off well,

834
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 6: especially when you have a quarterback like Deshaun Watson that

835
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 6: you have to account for coming out of the backfield,

836
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 6: and he was able to do it a few times

837
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 6: on some scrambles, and I affected that into the run

838
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 6: game too, because that's the second level's responsibility at the

839
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 6: end of the day. But I liked what they did

840
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 6: in the first half, and I think the bulk of

841
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 6: these yards I would have to go back and look

842
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 6: exactly how many came on that final drive where they

843
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 6: were able to push down the field and then Jerome

844
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 6: Ford finally pushed in the for the touchdown. But aside

845
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 6: from that, I thought it was a strong start. It

846
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 6: could it have been better, probably, but I thought it

847
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 6: was a strong start. They'll have, excuse me, they'll have

848
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks here against Alvin Kamara and then

849
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 6: Derrick Henry where they're gonna be tested. So nevertheless, we'll

850
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 6: find out here in a couple of weeks.

851
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think with the front seven, you know, with

852
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 2: the rotation they had on the defensive line, it you know,

853
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 2: you didn't have to have Joseph and Phillips play like

854
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 2: massive amounts of snaps and they were able to rotate

855
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 2: those guys through. I think Mazzie Smith actually had a

856
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,720
Speaker 2: pretty good game, and you know, we always worry about

857
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 2: Mozzie initially. There were a couple of times where he

858
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 2: got off the ball really really well. He was quick,

859
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 2: was square, played down the line of scrim which was

860
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 2: part of the play. It was part of clogging things up,

861
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 2: grabbing guys, holding up guys. So that was a positive

862
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 2: from that, and he didn't get washed, he didn't get turned.

863
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 2: When you watch the end zone copy of the game,

864
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 2: you could see everybody's jersey numbers playing the run game.

865
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 2: They've got linebackers that can fill and that's a really

866
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 2: good thing to have happened for you though, Kneelan playing

867
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 2: the edge. You know, we've seen in the past that

868
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,479
Speaker 2: the right end for the Dallas Cowboys doesn't always play

869
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 2: the run very well. They put Tank over on that

870
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 2: side with Mike on the other to kind of say, Okay,

871
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 2: maybe they're going to try and run a little bit

872
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 2: at the rookie and see what happens there. But I

873
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 2: love the rotation, I love the alignment. I love the

874
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 2: way that these guys tackle, and I think that the

875
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 2: linebackers will make this a good run defense, and it's

876
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 2: as long as they're not getting gashed on the run,

877
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: which I never felt like that they were even when

878
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 2: the ball tried to The Browns are not a great

879
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 2: outside running team. You know, they're a physical, run at

880
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 2: you time kind of a team. Amber mentioned the physicality

881
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 2: that they played with. I think on defense they showed

882
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 2: that quite a bit with the way that they were

883
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 2: able to play. The safeties were playing when they needed

884
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 2: to be, the linebackers, the defensive linemen were square, they

885
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 2: were playing off blocks. Guys weren't getting driven out of

886
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 2: the hole or turned or washed. Overall, I thought it

887
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 2: was really positive in that regard.

888
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think they did a really really good job.

889
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 3: But I'm kind of with Nick on this one, Like

890
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 3: it's it's such a small sample to base like really

891
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 3: give an opinion of how this is gonna look like

892
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 3: long term. You know, they still I mean, it's crazy

893
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,479
Speaker 3: to me just looking at this again, thinking that both

894
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 3: teams scores the same scored the same amount of touchdowns,

895
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 3: one rushing, one passing. Obviously came down to Brandon Aubrey

896
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 3: and them. The Browns not being able to get those

897
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 3: other points. But I think with this game specifically, you

898
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 3: see all the different things that the linebacker are able

899
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 3: to do and how they're able to help in that

900
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 3: regards when it comes to stopping the run. But am

901
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 3: I sold on it? Am I sold on this run defense?

902
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 3: Not yet, because I need to see it with another team.

903
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 3: You saw the Browns often have so many different struggles

904
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 3: even with the offensive line that they were dealing with

905
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 3: that I just need a bigger simple size. But I mean,

906
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 3: either way, they did a really nice job. It just

907
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 3: still too early.

908
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 2: To Yeah, I think Dallas's defense made them struggle. I

909
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 2: don't think this was lack of talent. I think this

910
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,959
Speaker 2: was Dallas's front seven played really right right off the bat. Yeah,

911
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 2: right off the bat. I really do. I think that

912
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 2: you know, you could look at some of the runs

913
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 2: that they had that that you know, with the Shawn

914
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 2: Watson stuff like that. For the most part, Ford Ford

915
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 2: didn't hurt them in this game. I don't think so,

916
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 2: And so to me, I was encouraged by the way

917
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 2: this team tackled. I didn't feel like that there were

918
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 2: a lot of mistackles or you know, guys at a

919
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 2: position if you play if you play square and you

920
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 2: tackle well and you fill and you're you're in position.

921
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 2: I don't care who's running the ball, You're you're you're

922
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 2: you're going to make You're gonna have some stops. And

923
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 2: you know, you mentioned the points that how many times

924
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 2: did the Browns go for it on fourth down and

925
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 2: didn't get it? Twice twice Dallas, And it was six

926
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 2: points out of that, right because they you know, they

927
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 2: they they didn't take advantage. They could have probably scored

928
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 2: fourteen points they could have, but they didn't. So yeah,

929
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 2: defense got you six points right there, just making stops

930
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 2: on fourth down, you know. So I was I think

931
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 2: that's all part of it, the run defense, the pass defense,

932
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 2: just a great, great effort overall for that crew.

933
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 6: You mentioned a tough, a good job of tackling. I

934
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 6: will give a quick caveat to that in the sense

935
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 6: that Deshaun Watson did run the ball five times for

936
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 6: thirty nine yards. Yeah, you could probably point it probably

937
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 6: three of those where they should have had them in

938
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 6: the backfield.

939
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 2: Negative play yeah, negative plays right yeah.

940
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, real quick, before we end the show,

941
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 4: we got to talk about who I thought was at

942
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 4: least in the running for Player of the Game, Brandon

943
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 4: Aubrey is he is a weapon. He is a weapon.

944
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 4: I mean you look at offensively, just look around the

945
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 4: league at just the offensive weapons. This guy is a

946
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 4: weapon because you can roll him out there, and they're

947
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 4: getting to the point where they're getting really comfortable, get.

948
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,240
Speaker 2: To the sixty plus yards.

949
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 4: They're like, hey, run him out there, let's do it.

950
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 4: Yesterday he kicks. He made kicks a fifty seven, forty fifty,

951
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 4: and forty six and made a sixty six yarder that

952
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 4: they obviously end up negating because of the delay penalty.

953
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 4: But I just look at that and I'm like, this

954
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 4: guy can do pretty much anything you wanted to do.

955
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 4: He after the game, they asked him, would you have

956
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 4: wanted to try that seventy one yarder?

957
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, sure, yeah.

958
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 3: I mean also stopping, It's nothing like oh this is

959
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 3: so easyest whatever, you know.

960
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 2: I just I love what he's doing.

961
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 4: But my question for you guys is are you at

962
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 4: all concerned about how comfortable they are rolling him out

963
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 4: there at those long field goals, because you do create

964
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 4: some some different challenges and some risks for yourself if

965
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 4: he should miss some of those.

966
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 2: Rah the kick six is what you worry about. I've

967
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 2: seen the Auburn Alabama game. We're all sudden now, you know,

968
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 2: and and and the Browns even put a guy back

969
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 2: there the second time around. Can I ask you guys

970
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 2: a question real quick, because you were at the game.

971
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 2: What happened with the clock management?

972
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 4: They messed it up?

973
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 2: Did Dallas mess it up?

974
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:11,879
Speaker 6: No?

975
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 4: Not the way I understood it. The way I understood

976
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 4: it was they were expecting to restart the clock, and

977
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 4: the restart the reset the clock, and they did.

978
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,399
Speaker 6: There was a late substitution by Cleveland. Yeah, and under rule,

979
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 6: they are supposed to be able to reset the.

980
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 2: So it was that to put the guy deep. Is

981
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 2: that what happened?

982
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 4: It was?

983
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 6: It was it was a guy like it kind of

984
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 6: in that second level, you know.

985
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, okay, okay. Then Dallas got worked on that

986
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 2: because to me, I mean, there was some question if

987
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 2: you if you really want to, if you really wanted

988
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 2: to kick that field goal, burn of time out right there,

989
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 2: even if you feel like just make them have to

990
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 2: make a call there. So yeah, but the seventy one

991
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 2: yard er, I was sitting there like, don't do this. Yeah.

992
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 2: The thing the only you know, always comes to my

993
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 2: mind is that stupid Kansas City game. Remember we played

994
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 2: here and they threw the hill right before half and

995
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 2: it ran a screen and they just walk that thing in.

996
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 2: I think that Chargers did the same damn thing one

997
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 2: time right before half. I'm thinking, please, don't kick a

998
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 2: seventy one yard field, going to have it a little short,

999
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden you've got offensive lineman

1000
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 2: trying to cover that distance to get to a guy

1001
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 2: coming back. Yeah, and so you.

1002
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 6: Know why I wouldn't be worried in that sense.

1003
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 2: Why is that on the field. Well, you know that's

1004
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 2: that's a good point. But the thing about it is,

1005
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 2: I think they're comfortable with him kicking these things because

1006
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 2: you know what, mainly kickers drive the ball. His get

1007
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 2: up quick. It's not he's not a driver. He is

1008
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 2: a it's got some elevation, so you're not worried about

1009
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 2: a block at the line of screen.

1010
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 6: I will say the Vegas sixty six yarder definitely got

1011
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 6: up quick. The one that he had here in Cleveland.

1012
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 6: He wanted to drive it into the wind a little bit,

1013
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:46,439
Speaker 6: and so it.

1014
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,439
Speaker 2: Came off, it came, it came a little lower came.

1015
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 6: A little lower. I think I to get a little

1016
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 6: lower for that seventy one yarder. Yeah, but now that's

1017
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 6: a problem.

1018
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 2: I felt like that every time he kicks, his ball's

1019
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 2: got a little elevation to it, so you're not worried

1020
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 2: about since you do try a sixty five yard field

1021
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 2: goal and hands go up and it's a dry ball

1022
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 2: and it's blocked, and now it's all kinds of chaos

1023
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 2: rolling around.

1024
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 3: I thought he said something interesting. Uh. Last night in

1025
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,439
Speaker 3: the locker room, someone asked him if he has any

1026
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 3: saying these decisions whether or not to kick in certain situations.

1027
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 2: I would have thought that yes, but no.

1028
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 3: He said, he basically stands off to the side and

1029
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 3: gets himself ready and then anger fossil bones, he's over there,

1030
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 3: and then by McCarthy they kind of make the decisions

1031
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 3: whether yes or no, and then he just goes out

1032
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 3: there and does what he needs to do, which was

1033
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 3: what because you wouldn't mess.

1034
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 4: Well, I think that's a smart way to do it

1035
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:39,399
Speaker 4: that I heard him say the same thing.

1036
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 3: It is, But I mean you would imagine if you're

1037
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 3: the kicker, you would have a saying.

1038
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 6: Like, hey, yes, he gives him the range.

1039
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, this is range. This his range. I mean,

1040
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 2: I don't think it's like watching that pull vaulter from

1041
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 2: Sweden and it's like every quarter breaks the world record

1042
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 2: by a quarter of an inch every time.

1043
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 4: I want to say he said something like it. He

1044
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 4: was asked this back seventy yards and I want to

1045
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 4: say he said it was around at the most he's

1046
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 4: ever kicked it in, just like in a practice situation,

1047
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 4: was like seventy something yards.

1048
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 2: See.

1049
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 4: But but again, that's that's without hands up, Like, there's

1050
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 4: a lot that goes into that. That's very different than

1051
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 4: what you would have to do on the field. You

1052
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 4: got a team coming at you.

1053
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 2: I'm just grateful that those three points that before half

1054
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 2: did not cost you. Yeah, you know, you get in

1055
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 2: a game and Alston, you got a weapon that's making

1056
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 2: six sixty seven yard field goals and then all of

1057
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 2: a sudden, those points are taking off the board, and

1058
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 2: now you're thinking, boy, if we had those three points,

1059
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 2: this might have been a different game, you know kind

1060
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 2: of thing. But hopefully they'll get that squared away, all right.

1061
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 6: Twenty one fantasy points for Brandon Aubrey.

1062
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 4: Look, and I drafted in the other league. I was

1063
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 4: trying to get him in our league because he is

1064
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 4: he's a weapon. I got him in there.

1065
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, drafted like the seventh round, and everyone in the

1066
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 6: office was like.

1067
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 2: Whoa, I would not like? What did I say?

1068
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 4: I was like, if you wouldn't have got him right there?

1069
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 4: I was getting him when he got back to me

1070
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,720
Speaker 4: because he's a weapon like that offensive that's offensive skill player.

1071
00:46:58,680 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 2: I used to the same thing when I was a

1072
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 2: draft room. I used to call my Yeah, I was

1073
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 2: gonna take that guy. Look what I'm doing now, I'm

1077
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,440
