<v Speaker 2>Cowboys.

0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:17.800
<v Speaker 3>Are you ready for a Break?

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:18.319
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Are you ready for a break? Absolutely? Ready for a break?

0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and so much for that. It's time for The

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com with Ambar Garcia, Brian

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>brought us, Patrick Walker, and Derek Eagleton.

0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 5>It is Wednesday, December twentieth, twenty twenty three, Season nineteen,

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:46.840
<v Speaker 5>episode number ninety two. Welcome to the latest edition of

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 5>The Break. We are live from the SWBC Mortgage Studios.

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 5>At the start a day, we start getting ready for

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:54.560
<v Speaker 5>Cowboys versus Dolphins that's happening this Sunday at.

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 3>Three twenty five.

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 5>I think it's a kick in Miami, and so we'll

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 5>get into this Miami offense and how it matches up

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 5>versus this Dallas defense, and well we can expect a

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 5>little different outcome as far as how the defense plays

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.840
<v Speaker 5>this week versus last week.

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 3>Got a good shot.

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 5>I want to start first, though Patrick's not with us

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.039
<v Speaker 5>today and usually gives assist, but Brian, I'm sure you

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 5>have this information as well. I want to start with

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 5>some injuries and just kind of where we're like set

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 5>the table for where we are with the injuries. I

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 5>want to start first with Zach Martin because he left

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 5>the game noticeable absence for the Cowboys obviously, but what

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 5>are we hearing about his injury and what kind of

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 5>time he may or may not miss.

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, the thing that you always worry about, because last

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 3>week we talked about what Hookers situation, and they felt

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 3>good about Hooker all the way up until game time,

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 3>and then it was well that the ankle didn't respond

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.960
<v Speaker 3>fully like we thought it would. So all the things

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 3>you're hearing about Zach Martin are positive. We've also, you know,

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 3>on one O five three the Fan, we have the

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 3>Zach Martin Show every Thursday at five, and you know,

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 3>you try and ask him questions. He's usually fourth, right,

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 3>oh yeah, I'm playing in all that, and then we

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 3>get to the game and then Christy Scales tells us, oh,

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 3>he's inactive today, So everything is positive from that standpoint.

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 3>We'll see the practice designations and all that. These are

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 3>these things with you know, with Jerry Jones was on

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 3>with us at one O five three of the Fan

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 3>talking about the you know what you deal with the

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.360
<v Speaker 3>stiffness and the blood and the you know, the bruise

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.919
<v Speaker 3>and all those things that you have to but all

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 3>the indications were that he is getting better every day.

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 3>Now let's see if that translates into Zach Martin playing

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 3>against the Miami Dolphins. I feel by by Friday, you

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 3>should have a pretty good understanding of really where he's at.

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 5>What do we know about at this point. Obviously Mollie

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:41.359
<v Speaker 5>Cooker was one, as you.

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.639
<v Speaker 3>Mentioned, and they thought they thought that was that one.

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 3>What are we hearing now, yeah, that's that one seems

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 3>to be going in the right direction as well. Uh,

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.920
<v Speaker 3>you know they last Thursday I was told I'm like,

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 3>I asked, well, hey, what what's your concerned level of hooker?

0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 3>And I got these should be good to go, and

0:02:58.480 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 3>then all of a sudden.

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 6>Every last minute.

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 3>That's that's the thing that bothers me. And I asked,

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.119
<v Speaker 3>was there a setback? And they said no, there wasn't

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 3>a setback. So evidently it didn't respond how they thought

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 3>it would respond, and so I felt like, you know

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 3>that they missed him in that game the other day.

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.240
<v Speaker 3>Nothing against jan Yer Thomas, but there were some coverage

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 3>things that they had not that they had to try

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.640
<v Speaker 3>and you know that the Buffalo through the ball a bunch,

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 3>but there was some things that they had to do

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 3>with him not being on the field too to kind

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 3>of combat that. So, uh that that's a but all

0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 3>indications that he will be available this week.

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 5>All right, Hankins, what's the it was? That?

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 3>That one was I heard a couple of games.

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 5>So I don't know the anticipation I anticipated him playing

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 5>this week?

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 3>Now, man, how much?

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 6>How much did they thought the last time I heard

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 6>it was his return would have been closer to like

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 6>the playoffs?

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 3>Well they they initially what I was here, and now

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 3>I asked the question, are we looking at a couple

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 3>of games here? And that was before the Buffalo game.

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 3>So my anticipation was, or my expectations where he was

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 3>going to miss Buffalo in Miami and then we'll see

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:10.840
<v Speaker 3>what happens with Detroit.

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I don't think it was any guarantem high ankle

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 5>spring sometimes can take six weeks.

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 3>For a guy that size too, that's a problem.

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, So, I mean, you know that was I think

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.479
<v Speaker 5>it's even optimistic when you start talking about playoffs too,

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 5>like it's just you just never know how that's gonna

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 5>work out. How much did they really miss it? Like,

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:27.599
<v Speaker 5>let's start with Hooker. How much did they miss Hooker

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 5>this week?

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, it did, you know, it's with wan Ye. There's

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.839
<v Speaker 3>there's Buffalo didn't throw the ball. But there are things

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.160
<v Speaker 3>you have to play around when you don't have your

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 3>starting safety in uh. And so that just that going

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 3>into the game of Okay, how are we going to

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 3>deal with their passing attack? And it didn't really matter,

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, but just having him back there, having that

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 3>veteran player back there, you know, with some of the

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.919
<v Speaker 3>routes that they did run. Uh, you know it, it

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 3>kind of was. It was a little bit of a

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, when you have a starter out of the game,

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 3>now you're playing wan Ya in there. Okay, now maybe

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.960
<v Speaker 3>you have a plan for Wanya and some other things,

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.280
<v Speaker 3>and so you can't do that because he's having to

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.839
<v Speaker 3>start the game. So when you take starters out, people

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 3>don't realize the backups that go in have other roles

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 3>that they have to play in the scheme. And I

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:22.719
<v Speaker 3>think that hurt them a little bit in that game.

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 5>Let's talk about justin Houston. He's a linebacker that got

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 5>released by Carolina. I know, I mit saw on Twitter

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 5>that you you watched a little film.

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 3>I did. I watched him yesterday.

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 5>Could he fit any role for the Cowboys?

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 3>You know, he plays as a three four outside linebacks.

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.719
<v Speaker 3>It's a little different than he's very much like a

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 3>when we start to talk about three four, it's a

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:46.160
<v Speaker 3>stand up position. He'll occasionally put his hand down. Uh

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.359
<v Speaker 3>he is when you when you There were times he

0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 3>hasn't played since the the Houston game, which is in

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 3>week nine. So I was watching tape from week one

0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 3>through week nine and getting ideas he doesn't have the

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 3>juice he once had. He doesn't take on blocks like

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.160
<v Speaker 3>he once did. When he was in Kansas City. He

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, they were running the ball at him and

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:09.640
<v Speaker 3>then you know they were able to push him aside

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:13.159
<v Speaker 3>ball going up inside on him. So as a pass rusher,

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.040
<v Speaker 3>you know, that was kind of his calling card. And

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.280
<v Speaker 3>I didn't see that that normal that you know, when

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.840
<v Speaker 3>you start to talk about a guy like, Okay, what's

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 3>his calling card? That's his ability to rush the passer.

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 3>There were times where he was getting single blocked quite

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 3>a bit in these games, and I just don't see

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:30.119
<v Speaker 3>Dallas going that round.

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.240
<v Speaker 5>All right, let's we're gonna take a quick early break

0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 5>and then we're going to come back. We'll dive into

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.719
<v Speaker 5>the Miami offense and how they match up with this

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 5>Cowboys defense. We'll be back Dallas, Cowboys dot Com Radio.

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:43.800
<v Speaker 2>cheatah Savannah.

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 7>Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought online was reliable.

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 7>And now Todd is trying to be faster than this

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 7>cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. But the

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.280
<v Speaker 7>good news is Todd has AT and T five G

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.280
<v Speaker 7>is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the best

0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 7>thing to do is stop running and toss her the

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:04.039
<v Speaker 7>back with the beef stew At and T five G fast, reliable, secure,

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 7>It's not complicated.

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.719
<v Speaker 8>Five G requires compatable planing device. Five G may not

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:09.679
<v Speaker 8>be available in your area. See att dot com slash

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 8>five G for you for details.

0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.400
<v Speaker 9>Cowboys fans, after that move, we've just coined the term

0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 9>rowdy replay.

0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:15.679
<v Speaker 3>Let's roll back the table.

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 10>Okay, there's our mascot rowdy cheering on the boys. And

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 10>now he's on his phone on his Bank of America

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:23.120

<v Speaker 5>Welcome back. It is the second segment of the break.

0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 5>We are live from SWBC Mortgage Studios. At the start

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.559
<v Speaker 5>of the day, we're talking Cowboys versus Dolphins. Let's dive

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:10.560
<v Speaker 5>right into this matchup, talking specifically about the Miami offense

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 5>before that though presented by.

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.199
<v Speaker 3>Blockchain dot Com. All right, here we go.

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.080
<v Speaker 5>Let's talk about Tyreek Hill because I think for me,

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.520
<v Speaker 5>looking at this team, he's.

0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.559
<v Speaker 3>When everything starts. Well, you want to know where this

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.560
<v Speaker 3>game is really gonna hinge? Where is that it's on

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 3>the offensive line.

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.800
<v Speaker 5>Okay, go there first, all right, tell me about the

0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:29.200
<v Speaker 5>offensive line.

0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:31.839
<v Speaker 3>He did, Yeah, no, no, And I want to say

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 3>this because it's this is where you can win this

0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:39.120
<v Speaker 3>football okay. And it's going to affect how Hill and

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.440
<v Speaker 3>Moster and other of these guys get opportunities in this game.

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:46.200
<v Speaker 3>Tua throwing the ball. This group is really banged up

0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:49.080
<v Speaker 3>along the front. And you watch them play and it

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.559
<v Speaker 3>was so clear watching them play the Jets, even though

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 3>they win the game thirty to nothing and all that,

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, the skill on the outside great for the

0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Dolphins quarterback playing at a very high level. They are

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.840
<v Speaker 3>masking a lot of problems they're having with this offensive

0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:08.520
<v Speaker 3>line right now. And I just feel like, I just

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:13.320
<v Speaker 3>feel like that with all the moving parts that they have,

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 3>Dallas has got to take advantage of this. You've got

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 3>to take advantage in the running game, and then you

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 3>also have to take it, excuse me, take advantage of

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:27.560
<v Speaker 3>it when they throw the football, because that's where the

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.599
<v Speaker 3>Dolphins could lose this football game, in my opinion. And

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:35.319
<v Speaker 3>yet you could talk about Hill and Waddle and you know,

0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.680
<v Speaker 3>and smite the tight end too. You could talk about

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:42.160
<v Speaker 3>all these guys, but if they can't handle you up front,

0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 3>that is going to be a problem for them. And

0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 3>I feel like Dallas has the advantage here, I really

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.200
<v Speaker 3>really do. And I watched the Dolphins play. They've got

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:55.600
<v Speaker 3>a couple of Liam Eichenberg is the is taken over

0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.560
<v Speaker 3>for Connor Williams blot his knee. So now they've got

0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.440
<v Speaker 3>a center who's kind of banged up toe. They weren't

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 3>practicing him last week. You watch him play, he struggles

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.240
<v Speaker 3>with any kind of movement. He struggles to kind of

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.320
<v Speaker 3>get to the second level. He struggles to take guys

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.360
<v Speaker 3>one on one. He struggles with guys that blitz on him.

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:17.560
<v Speaker 3>So they're using backup guys for here. Kendall Lamb is

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:21.840
<v Speaker 3>playing for for Jackson at tackle. Robert Jones has been out,

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:27.320
<v Speaker 3>so Robert Jones has been in for Hunt. They Robert

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.559
<v Speaker 3>Hunt has been out, they've lost him. They've got all

0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.400
<v Speaker 3>these problems right now they're dealing with and what they're

0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 3>often what they're what Mike McDaniel is having to do

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 3>is he is trying to looks like we've seen with

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.040
<v Speaker 3>Dan Quinn when he's doing to try and stop the

0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 3>or stop running game. Mike McDaniel is trying. Now. It's

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 3>the and when you hear me say this, everybody freaks out.

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.480
<v Speaker 3>It's the penn and pull stuff. Because they can't block.

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 3>They can't block anybody one on one. They can't physically

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:58.160
<v Speaker 3>come off the ball and get in and push you like.

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 3>So they have to down block that. They have to

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 3>pull guys, they have to trap guys. They have to.

0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:05.599
<v Speaker 3>You're going to see some of the weirdest formations to

0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:09.160
<v Speaker 3>run the football that you've ever seen in an NFL game.

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.080
<v Speaker 3>You know, you can see multiple a full back, a

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.080
<v Speaker 3>tieight end, a back, a quarterback all in the backfield together.

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 3>You're going to see two backs, a tight end move.

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 3>You're going to see they have to do things in

0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 3>order to run the ball. Now they've got quality backs,

0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.400
<v Speaker 3>but they have to do it because their offensive line

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.120
<v Speaker 3>can't hold up right now with the way it is.

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.200
<v Speaker 3>They just can't come off and blow somebody off the ball,

0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:36.600
<v Speaker 3>and it struggles and they struggle a little bit with

0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.520
<v Speaker 3>protection too. Tennessee got after them. The Tennessee had five

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 3>sacks in the game. A couple of the sacks were

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.200
<v Speaker 3>because a to will fumble the ball. The thing with

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 3>two is he's not going to run away from you.

0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:49.679
<v Speaker 3>He's not going to scramble away from you. So if

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.559
<v Speaker 3>you get pressure on him, you know you close on him,

0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.319
<v Speaker 3>he's likely going to go down. So that's the thing

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.400
<v Speaker 3>for Dallas. But you clearly watch the film against the Jets,

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.400
<v Speaker 3>it's the quickest they've got the ball out all year long.

0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:02.920
<v Speaker 3>And I have a feeling that it's gonna be the

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.719
<v Speaker 3>same game plan this week against the Cowboys. I think

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 3>they're gonna be scared, like, we can't get in a

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.320
<v Speaker 3>mode here where we let the Cowboys rush. Okay, now

0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.360
<v Speaker 3>it turns into a running game. Can the Dolphins block

0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:17.320
<v Speaker 3>you with this current configuration of their offensive line, that's

0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.760
<v Speaker 3>going to be their their issues in this game. Well,

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 3>that's gonna be the problem.

0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:26.040
<v Speaker 5>We've seen matchups where teams have had some success with

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.200
<v Speaker 5>quick passing games, right, is that something that Dallas? What

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 5>can Dallas do to offset that? No one coming in

0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:32.640
<v Speaker 5>this game? That's probably what they're gonna want to.

0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.560
<v Speaker 3>Just got it know to me, I am not you

0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.960
<v Speaker 3>know I'm gonna I am going to I'm gonna take

0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna take the quick death here is what I'm

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm not gonna take slow death. I'm not gonna back

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.560
<v Speaker 3>up and let these you know, these receivers can run,

0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.040
<v Speaker 3>Don't get me wrong. I'm gonna play these guys at

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.319
<v Speaker 3>press coverage though, I'm gonna make them try and win

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.800
<v Speaker 3>off the line, which you know you probably could put.

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:54.840
<v Speaker 3>But Tua wants to get rid of I mean, he

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.880
<v Speaker 3>wants to Maybe it's not gonna go with the quick game.

0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.160
<v Speaker 3>It goes to smite the tight it goes to one

0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.880
<v Speaker 3>of these backs. You know, maybe you keep it away,

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:05.800
<v Speaker 3>because that's what the Jets were able to do. Yeah,

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:07.920
<v Speaker 3>they hit on a deep ball down the field. It

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 3>was off of play action. They got the protection, the

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.400
<v Speaker 3>ball went way down the field. But overall though, I mean,

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.400
<v Speaker 3>the Jets were getting pressure on him, you know. And

0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 3>so I think with the quick game, it might mean, Okay,

0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.760
<v Speaker 3>they're going to throw the ball. Maybe it goes more

0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:24.520
<v Speaker 3>to the backs, like say, more to the tight ends.

0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 3>Maybe they try and get the receivers going and some

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.120
<v Speaker 3>of the inside breaking routes and things like that. They're

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:34.600
<v Speaker 3>a huge run after catch team. That's their game, like

0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.880
<v Speaker 3>fifty four to fifty five percent of their offense or

0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:40.000
<v Speaker 3>run after catch is what that is. But what you

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.000
<v Speaker 3>have to do, though, is I think you have to

0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:45.040
<v Speaker 3>disrupt their routes at the line. Don't give them the

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 3>free access. If you're going to die, die a quick death,

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.280
<v Speaker 3>don't die a slow death. You know, by playing off

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.400
<v Speaker 3>and just letting them hit balls all day on you

0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 3>real quick.

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.320
<v Speaker 6>Going back to the O line and the issues that

0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 6>you mentioned. For how long like how long has it

0:14:58.000 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 6>been of them dealing with.

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.000
<v Speaker 3>The They've dealt with it last several weeks, the last

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.400
<v Speaker 3>three games, They've had some problems with this line. It's

0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.640
<v Speaker 3>now to the point where it's like critical for them.

0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.840
<v Speaker 3>I think this is I just feel like the Dallas

0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.840
<v Speaker 3>has an advantage against this offensive line with the with

0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 3>their personnel against this offensive line, Can Dallas take advantage

0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 3>of that? That's going to be the biggest that's going

0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 3>to be the key in this football game. We could

0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 3>talk about Hill and Waddle and all and all these

0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 3>other guys. But but if if Miami is able with

0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.800
<v Speaker 3>this offensive line, with banged up as it is, blocks

0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:38.320
<v Speaker 3>the Cowboys front, Dallas deserves to lose this football game.

0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:42.080
<v Speaker 3>Dallas's off defensive line is better than what this what

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:45.720
<v Speaker 3>this Miami, this current Miami offensive line is configured right now.

0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:48.400
<v Speaker 5>When you look at this offense from the standpoint of

0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.400
<v Speaker 5>their skill positions. We talked about it a little bit.

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:51.640
<v Speaker 3>TI to catch off on that one.

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:53.040
<v Speaker 5>No no, no, man, that's actually great.

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:53.400
<v Speaker 3>Great.

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.840
<v Speaker 5>It actually leads into where I'm going with this Tyreek kill.

0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.000
<v Speaker 5>I could see a situation where Dallas may go in

0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.440
<v Speaker 5>this game and say, Okay, cool, let's press. What I

0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.320
<v Speaker 5>worry about is even if they don't press. What we've

0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 5>seen from this these cornerbacks sometimes is they can get

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 5>duped and the double move can get them right and

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 5>if they get time, you're not gonna If he's even

0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:14.480
<v Speaker 5>with you, he's gonna leave you. Like he's got that

0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.600
<v Speaker 5>kind of speed. How do you offset the speed of

0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:17.200
<v Speaker 5>Tyreek Hill?

0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 3>Whatever football God, you pray to stop praying now, well,

0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 3>pray pray to this that you know he's banged up.

0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean that at ankle is a significant injury for him.

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.080
<v Speaker 3>That's a high ankle sprain that he's having to deal

0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:30.680
<v Speaker 3>with right now, and that's something that you know. I mean,

0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:34.680
<v Speaker 3>i'd say he's limited this guy, Okay, I'm not. It's

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:36.680
<v Speaker 3>not government secrets or anything. This is one of the

0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:40.320
<v Speaker 3>most dynamic weapons in the National Football League. We all

0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 3>have seen this guy puts fear in the hearts of

0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:47.400
<v Speaker 3>defensive backs by the way he plays. You're terrified. You know.

0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.080
<v Speaker 3>They get what they call three by one, they get trips,

0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 3>they get one. You know, they put him in that bunch.

0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:54.640
<v Speaker 3>They don't let you double them. He moves around, he

0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.200
<v Speaker 3>catches balls underneath, he goes down the field. You know

0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.400
<v Speaker 3>he's going to go all over the field to catch

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 3>the football. So you have to be ready for that.

0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:04.040
<v Speaker 3>If you're going to travel with him, you have to

0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.080
<v Speaker 3>be ready for that. He is going to line up

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 3>all the place. You try and double him, you know

0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.040
<v Speaker 3>you're trying. And this is where you need, like guys

0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.119
<v Speaker 3>like Hooker and others to maybe to be able to

0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:15.200
<v Speaker 3>bracket guys like this. You know. But I'm not giving

0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.120
<v Speaker 3>these guys free access. I'm just not. I'm not. I'm

0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 3>going to try and disrupt him at the line of scrimmage.

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:22.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna try and bang them around. And if Tua

0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.399
<v Speaker 3>wants to get the ball out, then throw it into

0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:30.120
<v Speaker 3>some and throw it into some uh contested coverage. I'm

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.120
<v Speaker 3>not giving two any because two is already accurate enough

0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:37.440
<v Speaker 3>throwing the football he is, he's underneath at the line

0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:41.680
<v Speaker 3>of scrimmage. He's almost perfect. When it's down the field though,

0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:43.640
<v Speaker 3>that's when it's a little bit of a problem for him,

0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, down the field, like he's I was looking

0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:49.480
<v Speaker 3>at so some of the metrics on him, interceptions left

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:53.360
<v Speaker 3>hash six, you know, down the field, there's some problems

0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.919
<v Speaker 3>down there. He's not as accurate with some of his throws.

0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.040
<v Speaker 3>So I'm trying to make this as much of a

0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:01.439
<v Speaker 3>contested game, because if they're gonna throw quick, you might

0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:03.320
<v Speaker 3>as well be in the receiver's face and make them,

0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:05.560
<v Speaker 3>make them have to fight for the ball.

0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.280
<v Speaker 5>As good as their offense has been, there have been

0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.639
<v Speaker 5>some games this year what teams have limited them. They

0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:12.520
<v Speaker 5>remind me a little bit of the Cowboys. It's kind

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:15.320
<v Speaker 5>of feast or family, like they can really blow you up.

0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:18.200
<v Speaker 5>They put up seventy on Denver, but they also had

0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:20.760
<v Speaker 5>two games where they they were under two hundred yards passing,

0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.040
<v Speaker 5>both at Philadelphia and at Kansas City.

0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:27.120
<v Speaker 3>What did those teams do so Philadelphia? Philadelphia did a

0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:30.760
<v Speaker 3>great job of when the ball was out. They tackled

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:34.119
<v Speaker 3>great in that game. Philadelphia, I mean, they didn't allow

0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:38.160
<v Speaker 3>any type of run after catch, it was throw guy

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.080
<v Speaker 3>and play. And it seemed like that every time that

0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:43.760
<v Speaker 3>Philadelphia excuse me, that Miami ran motion and then we're

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:45.960
<v Speaker 3>trying to they have a design motion and then throw

0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 3>the ball. There was somebody in a Kelly Green Jersey

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.800
<v Speaker 3>standway right there, just waiting there. I mean, they were disciplined.

0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we've seen Philadelphia just completely fall apart in

0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.439
<v Speaker 3>the secondary. They were outstanding in this game when it

0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:00.920
<v Speaker 3>came to their coverage and then playing assignments and when

0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:05.080
<v Speaker 3>receivers came into their area. But then again, the Philadelphia

0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:09.320
<v Speaker 3>pass rush affected Miami. You know, Toua goes back, he's

0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:11.680
<v Speaker 3>feeling these feelings, Phielings trying to get rid of the ball.

0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:14.439
<v Speaker 3>But then you got the secondary, you got coverage down there.

0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:17.720
<v Speaker 3>That's the teams have been able to play with some discipline.

0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:21.280
<v Speaker 3>You can't I get it. You're scared of these receivers.

0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:24.680
<v Speaker 3>They are. They're scary men when the way they play

0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:28.600
<v Speaker 3>for defensive back. Yeah, but I'll tell you what though,

0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:34.600
<v Speaker 3>this offensive line they're having to mask things to get

0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:36.440
<v Speaker 3>offense because they're not good enough.

0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.320
<v Speaker 5>Right now, when you mentioned that they do a lot

0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:41.119
<v Speaker 5>of pinn and polls and that kind of stuff. How

0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:44.160
<v Speaker 5>much does the speed of their running backs. We talk

0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.560
<v Speaker 5>a lot about the speed of Hill, but man, they

0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:49.399
<v Speaker 5>got some runners in the backfield with mostered and with hn.

0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:52.240
<v Speaker 5>How much does that present a problem, especially in a

0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:54.359
<v Speaker 5>situation which because of the pinn and pool kind of

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:56.840
<v Speaker 5>things like those, all you need is a quick hit

0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:58.359
<v Speaker 5>and if you got a quick back, you can actually

0:19:58.680 --> 0:19:59.040
<v Speaker 5>like that.

0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:01.040
<v Speaker 3>That's the thing about it. And Jets did a pretty

0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 3>good job of this though. When the ball was going

0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:07.119
<v Speaker 3>to the inside, the Jets were the Dolphins weren't doing anything.

0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:10.159
<v Speaker 3>Everything was let's try and if it's a you know,

0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:12.440
<v Speaker 3>they get what they call pistol formation where they stand

0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:16.320
<v Speaker 3>directly behind behind and he turns and hands the ball

0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:18.199
<v Speaker 3>and then they try and get to the outside. Or

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.080
<v Speaker 3>they'll go they'll send misdirection, they'll send the line one way,

0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:23.880
<v Speaker 3>back will counterstep, and then they come back the other

0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:26.960
<v Speaker 3>and just toss on the outside. They'll crack on the outside.

0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.240
<v Speaker 3>That's where That's where I mean to me, this is

0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:34.000
<v Speaker 3>where you have to win. You have to win on

0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:38.680
<v Speaker 3>the edge. You cannot let Smite the tight end pin

0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:42.679
<v Speaker 3>you inside. You can't let Cedric Wilson pin you inside.

0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:44.960
<v Speaker 3>You got to know they're gonna want to run the ball.

0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:47.880
<v Speaker 3>You see a tight split and it's Cedric Wilson number eleven.

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.639
<v Speaker 3>You're thinking, he's about to crack my ass, you know.

0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:52.440
<v Speaker 3>So I got to be ready for this. I gotta

0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:54.400
<v Speaker 3>be able and see that's what hied to Micael Parsons

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:56.640
<v Speaker 3>the other day. He got cracked. He tried to spin

0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:58.760
<v Speaker 3>out of it, but it's too late, balls already. So

0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 3>you have to play with some awareness in this game.

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:03.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, you can't, you know. And Tank's really good

0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:06.040
<v Speaker 3>at this too. He understands like, Okay, that guy right

0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:07.840
<v Speaker 3>there is going to it's going to block down. I mean,

0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:09.560
<v Speaker 3>they're gonna pull this guy. I can read his stance

0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.400
<v Speaker 3>right now. Dallas has got to play with some anticipation

0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 3>in this game, especially the way the Dolphins run the football.

0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:17.760
<v Speaker 5>When you look at a guy like Cook, obviously I

0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:20.119
<v Speaker 5>don't I don't personally think he has more skill than

0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:22.880
<v Speaker 5>these backs. Yeah, that you're playing this weekend, what would

0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:25.600
<v Speaker 5>give you reason to believe that Dallas can actually match

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:27.359
<v Speaker 5>up with this running game better than what they did

0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:27.880
<v Speaker 5>against Cook?

0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:30.679
<v Speaker 3>I just I just I go back to the offensive line.

0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:34.720
<v Speaker 3>You have got to win and you Dallas got penetration

0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:37.800
<v Speaker 3>in a lot and several of the snaps against Buffalo

0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:40.240
<v Speaker 3>the ball just bounced on him. You know, you have

0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:42.640
<v Speaker 3>got to play with some discipline in this game. If

0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:45.120
<v Speaker 3>you were if you were a backside defender and you're

0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:47.480
<v Speaker 3>chasing the ball down inside and it bounces around the corner,

0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:49.600
<v Speaker 3>and all of a sudden, it's a ten yard game

0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:53.520
<v Speaker 3>because you didn't play assignment. That's that's on the defense

0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:55.480
<v Speaker 3>because you're winning on the front side, but on the

0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:59.119
<v Speaker 3>backside you're not doing your job. So I I would

0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:01.879
<v Speaker 3>say that that dan Quinn. This week of practice a

0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:05.679
<v Speaker 3>lot of that. Hey, let's not let the thing with

0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:09.760
<v Speaker 3>the Dolphins. Buffalo will bounce the ball. The Dolphins are

0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:13.639
<v Speaker 3>a attack, attack and then or throw or get the

0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:16.560
<v Speaker 3>ball to the outside. So you're naturally going to see

0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:19.159
<v Speaker 3>it's not a lot of bouncing going on. It's a

0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:21.439
<v Speaker 3>lot of are a we're determined that we're gonna go

0:22:21.480 --> 0:22:24.919
<v Speaker 3>outside and they have to do that because their line

0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:27.760
<v Speaker 3>can't hold up in the running game if they have

0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:29.240
<v Speaker 3>to play toe to toe with somebody.

0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 5>I want to take you back to that offensive line.

0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:33.960
<v Speaker 5>Where is the biggest point of failure for that offensive

0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:35.200
<v Speaker 5>line that maybe Dallas can.

0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:37.280
<v Speaker 3>Expec Yeah, they they gotta, they've got to work on

0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:40.879
<v Speaker 3>the center. Though they've absolutely talked about Eikenberg the center.

0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:44.480
<v Speaker 3>He's a backup. And the thing we all know Connor Williams.

0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:47.200
<v Speaker 3>Connor Williams was a really good athlete. So Connor Williams

0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:49.399
<v Speaker 3>has got a little bit of that, uh of the

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:53.120
<v Speaker 3>of the Jason Kelsey uh kind of that that kind

0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:55.760
<v Speaker 3>of you know, play with him, the ability to pull

0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:58.080
<v Speaker 3>and do well. He's out, he's gone. So now they're

0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:00.080
<v Speaker 3>they're there in a situation where they don't have a

0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:03.879
<v Speaker 3>second level blocker. He's imber, he can't get up on

0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:07.600
<v Speaker 3>any can't sustained. And I also think Lamb, the right tackle,

0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:10.440
<v Speaker 3>Kendall Lamb, those were two areas right there where I

0:23:10.520 --> 0:23:12.880
<v Speaker 3>kind of saw a guy, you know, center can't get

0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:16.040
<v Speaker 3>in there, and the right tackle given ground, you know,

0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:19.240
<v Speaker 3>tank needs to like needs to drive because two is

0:23:19.280 --> 0:23:21.639
<v Speaker 3>gonna stand there, Two is gonna try and you know

0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:23.800
<v Speaker 3>he's gonna try and left hand make that throw and

0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:26.640
<v Speaker 3>you know that's that's affecting him from that backside there.

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:30.720
<v Speaker 3>So if your right tackles poured, that's that's where Micah

0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 3>and and and and Lawrence and these guys. They need

0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:35.679
<v Speaker 3>to work that, but they also need to work the

0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:37.639
<v Speaker 3>middle because if you can, if you get to it

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:39.880
<v Speaker 3>to get that where he just stands there, you can

0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:41.800
<v Speaker 3>get him on the ground. He is not gonna run

0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:44.080
<v Speaker 3>away from you like the quarterbacks that you've played the

0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:45.040
<v Speaker 3>last couple of weeks.

0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:46.760
<v Speaker 5>All Right, we're gonna take our final break, We're gonna

0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:49.160
<v Speaker 5>come back. What does some player evaluations. I'm gonna throw

0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:52.480
<v Speaker 5>some names to you, guys, some particular defensive players for

0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:54.239
<v Speaker 5>the Cowboys, and I want to get your thoughts not

0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:55.800
<v Speaker 5>only on how they played last week, but how they're

0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:58.760
<v Speaker 5>performing and what you think their role may be going

0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:00.000
<v Speaker 5>into this next game that.

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:00.359

<v Speaker 5>guys to tell me what you think of their play.

0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:51.920
<v Speaker 5>Maybe last weekend we could talk a little bit about

0:26:51.960 --> 0:26:54.280
<v Speaker 5>it from that game, but also just in general, where

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:57.400
<v Speaker 5>are they and what you expect from them? I guess

0:26:57.480 --> 0:26:59.760
<v Speaker 5>into this game and in the coming games down the

0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:01.679
<v Speaker 5>show stretch, I'll start with Mozzie Smith.

0:27:02.600 --> 0:27:06.080
<v Speaker 3>You know this one is a because I am a

0:27:06.119 --> 0:27:08.320
<v Speaker 3>fan of Mozzie Smith, and I'm a fan of Mozzie

0:27:08.320 --> 0:27:10.879
<v Speaker 3>Smith because I don't see a bad football player. And

0:27:10.920 --> 0:27:14.159
<v Speaker 3>I know people that you know, the fan base, I

0:27:14.200 --> 0:27:17.040
<v Speaker 3>get it. You know you're expecting more from Mozzie Smith.

0:27:17.080 --> 0:27:19.560
<v Speaker 3>You see what Carter's doing in Philadelphia. He's a first

0:27:19.600 --> 0:27:22.720
<v Speaker 3>round pick. There's a lot you know where the Cowboys

0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:24.800
<v Speaker 3>are struggling with run defense, and all of a sudden,

0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:27.159
<v Speaker 3>Mozzie Smith is supposed to be a run defender and

0:27:27.200 --> 0:27:30.359
<v Speaker 3>he's not helping the situation. I wish I had the

0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:32.480
<v Speaker 3>opportunity to sit down and I tweeted this last night.

0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:34.000
<v Speaker 3>I wish I had the opportunity to sit down with

0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:37.560
<v Speaker 3>fans and watch the all twenty two of Mozzie Smith play,

0:27:37.960 --> 0:27:39.800
<v Speaker 3>just so you get a little bit better of appreciation.

0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:43.439
<v Speaker 3>Is Mozzie Smith perfect? No, he's absolutely not. It's been

0:27:43.480 --> 0:27:45.560
<v Speaker 3>well documented. We talk about it, whether it's on this

0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:47.480
<v Speaker 3>platform or on one, O, five to three of the

0:27:47.520 --> 0:27:50.080
<v Speaker 3>fan on those shows. When Mozzie Smith, it's laid off

0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:53.400
<v Speaker 3>the ball. He's a terrible football player. He's laid off

0:27:53.400 --> 0:27:55.920
<v Speaker 3>the ball. That's a problem. And that happens not all

0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:58.520
<v Speaker 3>the time, but there were times in the Buffalo game

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:01.119
<v Speaker 3>that he was Actually when you watched him play and

0:28:01.160 --> 0:28:02.800
<v Speaker 3>the way he was able to get rid of guys

0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:06.240
<v Speaker 3>and and get and force the ball to balance and stuff,

0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:08.960
<v Speaker 3>it was because of Mozzie Smith. Mozzie Smith played better

0:28:09.000 --> 0:28:12.120
<v Speaker 3>in that game than OsO Diggi Zua played better. I mean,

0:28:12.160 --> 0:28:15.400
<v Speaker 3>you played better than Carl Davis, who was in there,

0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:18.400
<v Speaker 3>a veteran player. You know, there were guys at defensive

0:28:18.440 --> 0:28:20.960
<v Speaker 3>tackle that didn't play very well. Mazzie Smith. Did he

0:28:20.960 --> 0:28:21.440
<v Speaker 3>play great?

0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:21.560
<v Speaker 6>No?

0:28:21.800 --> 0:28:24.639
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely not. And I'm not sitting here defending and it

0:28:24.680 --> 0:28:27.920
<v Speaker 3>sounds like I'm defending Mozzie Smith. But I think if

0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:30.879
<v Speaker 3>people sat down and watched him play, snap after snap

0:28:30.920 --> 0:28:33.960
<v Speaker 3>after snap after snap, you would have a different appreciation

0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:36.679
<v Speaker 3>for him, or you would say, Okay, I see some

0:28:36.800 --> 0:28:40.520
<v Speaker 3>of those things why they drafted him. And I'm not

0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:43.280
<v Speaker 3>defending him, and I'm not defending the scouting staff or

0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:46.520
<v Speaker 3>picking him. But there are times when this guy does

0:28:46.560 --> 0:28:49.040
<v Speaker 3>exactly what he's supposed to do and I don't think

0:28:49.080 --> 0:28:51.880
<v Speaker 3>people see that all the time, and they and it's

0:28:52.040 --> 0:28:55.120
<v Speaker 3>low hanging fruit to me, and I trust me. I've

0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:57.080
<v Speaker 3>dealt with all of you on Twitter. I've dealt with

0:28:57.160 --> 0:28:59.800
<v Speaker 3>you. You know you can come after me at Brian brought

0:28:59.840 --> 0:29:02.320
<v Speaker 3>his I know you will because you always do, you know.

0:29:02.920 --> 0:29:05.920
<v Speaker 3>But I challenge you to get that all twenty two

0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:07.560
<v Speaker 3>and sit down. You don't have to be a former

0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:10.280
<v Speaker 3>scout to figure this out. Go watch him play. There

0:29:10.320 --> 0:29:12.240
<v Speaker 3>are things about him that you see that he's better

0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:14.080
<v Speaker 3>than the guy playing next to him in those games.

0:29:14.520 --> 0:29:17.680
<v Speaker 3>So that's that's my two cents about Mazie Smith. Is

0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:19.920
<v Speaker 3>he is he is? He is? He is he a

0:29:19.920 --> 0:29:22.920
<v Speaker 3>perfect player right now? Absolutely not, But he is not

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:24.520
<v Speaker 3>the bust that everybody thinks he is.

0:29:25.880 --> 0:29:29.720
<v Speaker 6>I think it is fair like we do get frustrated

0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:34.200
<v Speaker 6>at times because we have set our own expectations of

0:29:34.280 --> 0:29:38.640
<v Speaker 6>him and sometimes and that is quote unquote to be expected.

0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:41.240
<v Speaker 6>When you draft a first round pick, you expect them

0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:44.960
<v Speaker 6>to be the guy right away, step on that feel

0:29:45.360 --> 0:29:49.880
<v Speaker 6>and not have any issues being pactful, and the reality

0:29:50.000 --> 0:29:53.080
<v Speaker 6>is not everyone can do that. We see how big

0:29:53.120 --> 0:29:55.480
<v Speaker 6>of a change there is between year one and year

0:29:55.520 --> 0:29:59.640
<v Speaker 6>two with these guys, their bod is how much they learn,

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:03.040
<v Speaker 6>how much they changed throughout. And to be fair, he

0:30:03.280 --> 0:30:07.120
<v Speaker 6>wasn't drafted to be the main guy just yet. They

0:30:07.280 --> 0:30:11.720
<v Speaker 6>hide they had signed Jonathan Hankins back on the team,

0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:14.680
<v Speaker 6>and Mazzi, I think he's shown he started to show

0:30:15.160 --> 0:30:18.680
<v Speaker 6>some improvement. Like Brian said, he's not perfect, and I

0:30:18.680 --> 0:30:21.240
<v Speaker 6>don't think he's gonna be for what's left of the season,

0:30:21.480 --> 0:30:24.960
<v Speaker 6>but I do believe that he's gonna be so much

0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:28.120
<v Speaker 6>better next year. He's gonna he's gonna grow from this

0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:31.360
<v Speaker 6>and be a better player and become hopefully the type

0:30:31.400 --> 0:30:34.480
<v Speaker 6>of player that the Cowboys drafted him to be. But

0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 6>right now, I get it, fans get mad, but it's

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:40.160
<v Speaker 6>it's early. It's early to say or call him a

0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:42.920
<v Speaker 6>bust because you can't just call someone a bust on

0:30:43.000 --> 0:30:43.400
<v Speaker 6>year one.

0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:46.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well that's but that's the that's the world we

0:30:46.680 --> 0:30:49.880
<v Speaker 3>live in. Yes, and hey, I get it, fans, I

0:30:50.320 --> 0:30:53.880
<v Speaker 3>totally I understand where you're coming from. You're frustrated, your

0:30:54.240 --> 0:30:58.000
<v Speaker 3>your team got gashed bad, and you're thinking, well, why

0:30:58.000 --> 0:30:59.640
<v Speaker 3>do you draft a guy he's supposed to be a

0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:02.520
<v Speaker 3>run to. I could deal with him not getting sacks.

0:31:03.120 --> 0:31:06.600
<v Speaker 3>But but look where the ball was run. The ball

0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:09.040
<v Speaker 3>wasn't if you if you if you look at the metrics,

0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:12.760
<v Speaker 3>the ball I said it to you left outside ten

0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:17.440
<v Speaker 3>carries eighty two yards. That's that's not at Mizzy Smith.

0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:19.880
<v Speaker 3>You know, maybe a little bit of that with Mozzie

0:31:19.880 --> 0:31:22.560
<v Speaker 3>Smith and those guys are the tackles. But Mozzie Smith

0:31:22.680 --> 0:31:24.680
<v Speaker 3>was not the problem in that game the other day

0:31:25.240 --> 0:31:27.440
<v Speaker 3>you had it was there was a he was part

0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:29.160
<v Speaker 3>of Was he the main problem?

0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:29.280
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Was he part of the problem. Sure, if you want

0:31:31.840 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 3>to put it on, if you want to put it

0:31:33.280 --> 0:31:35.960
<v Speaker 3>on the defense for how they played, yeah, absolutely.

0:31:36.240 --> 0:31:38.560
<v Speaker 5>Let me ask you this question because I've heard a

0:31:38.600 --> 0:31:40.360
<v Speaker 5>couple of people mention this, and I think it's at

0:31:40.440 --> 0:31:44.600
<v Speaker 5>least a fair thought, right, is do you put blame

0:31:44.800 --> 0:31:47.280
<v Speaker 5>on the defensive tackles and Mozzie being a part of that.

0:31:47.400 --> 0:31:49.840
<v Speaker 5>More from a standpoint that you know, when you have

0:31:49.920 --> 0:31:53.000
<v Speaker 5>these safeties playing down in the box, they cannot handle

0:31:53.000 --> 0:31:55.200
<v Speaker 5>a three hundred pounds of that guy's onto them. Are

0:31:55.240 --> 0:31:58.240
<v Speaker 5>the tackles not doing enough to keep those linebackers free

0:31:58.280 --> 0:32:00.400
<v Speaker 5>so they can flow to the ball and maybe that

0:32:00.440 --> 0:32:02.160
<v Speaker 5>would stop some of those outside runs.

0:32:02.240 --> 0:32:05.120
<v Speaker 3>I think the fact is that you talk about keeping

0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:08.239
<v Speaker 3>free free is about your ability to go run and

0:32:08.360 --> 0:32:11.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, and and so what happens is you get

0:32:11.240 --> 0:32:14.960
<v Speaker 3>linebackers or these safeties that are playing linebacker, maybe they

0:32:14.960 --> 0:32:17.239
<v Speaker 3>need to flow a little faster when you're not. When

0:32:17.240 --> 0:32:19.720
<v Speaker 3>you're a sad about recognition. Yes you're down there playing

0:32:19.760 --> 0:32:22.680
<v Speaker 3>safety or a safety and you're playing linebacker. There's different

0:32:22.800 --> 0:32:25.400
<v Speaker 3>site lines that you have White guys like Sean Lee,

0:32:25.520 --> 0:32:28.640
<v Speaker 3>Leighton vandersh those guys, you know why they anticipated play.

0:32:28.920 --> 0:32:31.560
<v Speaker 3>They saw what The guy that can anticipate plays and

0:32:31.600 --> 0:32:35.040
<v Speaker 3>sometimes it's too aggressive is Donovan Wilson. You put Donovan

0:32:35.040 --> 0:32:38.760
<v Speaker 3>Wilson down there, sometimes he's overly aggressive running to the football.

0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:43.200
<v Speaker 3>So sometimes you know, if you hesitate, If you hesitate

0:32:43.240 --> 0:32:47.320
<v Speaker 3>even a split second. Playing linebacker, they're gonna find a

0:32:47.360 --> 0:32:50.520
<v Speaker 3>way to block you no matter who gets how you're

0:32:50.560 --> 0:32:54.640
<v Speaker 3>holding up. Guys, it's not all combination blocks getting to

0:32:54.680 --> 0:32:58.080
<v Speaker 3>the second level. That's not you know. You know when

0:32:58.160 --> 0:33:00.520
<v Speaker 3>you play as a when you play as a one technique,

0:33:00.680 --> 0:33:03.160
<v Speaker 3>you know you're sitting there holding blocks. But you play

0:33:03.160 --> 0:33:04.920
<v Speaker 3>as the three, you're trying to kind of get up

0:33:04.960 --> 0:33:07.000
<v Speaker 3>to fit. You're not holding blocks because they could the

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:09.760
<v Speaker 3>guard can the guard can take you, and then you

0:33:09.760 --> 0:33:11.880
<v Speaker 3>know the backside center can get up. I mean, it's

0:33:12.000 --> 0:33:14.200
<v Speaker 3>there's a lot of different things. It's not all about

0:33:14.240 --> 0:33:18.800
<v Speaker 3>just holding up blocks inside. It's about anticipation and seeing

0:33:19.040 --> 0:33:21.560
<v Speaker 3>where the ball's going and getting to the ball. And

0:33:21.600 --> 0:33:24.360
<v Speaker 3>they've had problems with that with these with these safeties

0:33:24.360 --> 0:33:27.040
<v Speaker 3>playing his linebackers, it's tough for them, asking a lot

0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:28.360
<v Speaker 3>for them to do in that situation.

0:33:28.600 --> 0:33:30.160
<v Speaker 5>Talking about Damone Clark.

0:33:30.720 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 3>He's he has not done as well as I thought

0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:35.040
<v Speaker 3>he was gonna do. I thought that I think last

0:33:35.120 --> 0:33:36.840
<v Speaker 3>year da Moone Clark. For him to come off the

0:33:36.840 --> 0:33:39.320
<v Speaker 3>injury that he did and play the way that he

0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:42.440
<v Speaker 3>did and come back with Layton vandersh he was clearly

0:33:42.440 --> 0:33:45.640
<v Speaker 3>a better player when he you know, when he when

0:33:45.680 --> 0:33:48.640
<v Speaker 3>he had with without Layton vander esh Uh. It's I

0:33:48.680 --> 0:33:50.760
<v Speaker 3>think it's been a struggle for him. I think he

0:33:50.800 --> 0:33:52.760
<v Speaker 3>doesn't see the I don't think he always reads the

0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:55.240
<v Speaker 3>play correctly. I don't think he reached the scheme in

0:33:55.240 --> 0:33:58.320
<v Speaker 3>front of him correctly. I don't think he anticipates fast enough.

0:33:58.680 --> 0:34:01.080
<v Speaker 3>He could be a guy that wins and he gets

0:34:01.160 --> 0:34:03.600
<v Speaker 3>in space, he can make a tackle, he can be physical.

0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:08.000
<v Speaker 3>But the problem is though he appears to play lost

0:34:08.239 --> 0:34:10.840
<v Speaker 3>more than he does having the awareness of what he

0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:13.640
<v Speaker 3>needs to do in the scheme. That's an issue. You

0:34:13.640 --> 0:34:15.839
<v Speaker 3>can talk about holding up blocks all day, like I

0:34:15.880 --> 0:34:18.279
<v Speaker 3>was talking about, but if you don't have the anticipation

0:34:18.440 --> 0:34:21.040
<v Speaker 3>to read the play, to get downhill, to make the tackle,

0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:23.520
<v Speaker 3>to knife through, to be that type of a football player,

0:34:24.200 --> 0:34:25.520
<v Speaker 3>you're not going to win at that level.

0:34:26.280 --> 0:34:29.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, he's such a talented player, but again expectations, our

0:34:30.000 --> 0:34:34.080
<v Speaker 6>expectations were different in thinking that he could become a

0:34:34.640 --> 0:34:38.440
<v Speaker 6>lead role. Not everyone can be at the wrong blend.

0:34:38.560 --> 0:34:42.680
<v Speaker 6>Not everyone can step into a higher role where you're

0:34:42.719 --> 0:34:46.160
<v Speaker 6>asking more of them and be successful at it. Sometimes

0:34:46.200 --> 0:34:48.839
<v Speaker 6>there are just leading roles and you're just part of

0:34:48.880 --> 0:34:52.600
<v Speaker 6>the cast supporting everybody else. And I think the only

0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:56.520
<v Speaker 6>thing that I'm going back to in justifying or giving

0:34:56.520 --> 0:35:00.719
<v Speaker 6>them some grace is because of all the injuries that

0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:03.400
<v Speaker 6>the defense has suffered. You talk about all the different

0:35:03.400 --> 0:35:05.760
<v Speaker 6>things that you're having to ask all these other guys

0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:08.920
<v Speaker 6>and having to make up for what's already missing on

0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:12.520
<v Speaker 6>the field, and that's tough to do. So that's the

0:35:12.560 --> 0:35:18.640
<v Speaker 6>only thing. But absolutely don't we did have even going

0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:21.279
<v Speaker 6>back to last year, him coming back so quickly from

0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:23.760
<v Speaker 6>the injury, him playing the way that he was playing,

0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:26.440
<v Speaker 6>I think it would be fair to say that right

0:35:26.480 --> 0:35:31.040
<v Speaker 6>now we would be or I was expecting to see

0:35:31.400 --> 0:35:34.160
<v Speaker 6>him shine better a lot more right now.

0:35:34.320 --> 0:35:36.080
<v Speaker 3>I thought year in two, I thought year two they

0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:38.719
<v Speaker 3>was going to take that jump, and it hasn't. He's

0:35:38.760 --> 0:35:41.680
<v Speaker 3>actually he's actually probably in my mind, gone down a

0:35:41.680 --> 0:35:43.400
<v Speaker 3>couple of notches from where he was playing.

0:35:43.560 --> 0:35:46.040
<v Speaker 5>Is any of that about health? Is there is there any.

0:35:46.320 --> 0:35:49.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't know? I mean to me, when you watch

0:35:49.800 --> 0:35:52.800
<v Speaker 3>him play, he looks like a healthy player out there.

0:35:53.000 --> 0:35:55.920
<v Speaker 3>I just think I think there's some things that with

0:35:56.120 --> 0:36:01.440
<v Speaker 3>instinct awareness understanding. Sometimes at linebacker you have to be

0:36:01.440 --> 0:36:04.040
<v Speaker 3>a good guesser. Sometimes you have to take a gamble

0:36:04.120 --> 0:36:06.480
<v Speaker 3>that Okay, I'm gonna shoot this gap and it's gonna work.

0:36:06.680 --> 0:36:08.760
<v Speaker 3>And I haven't seen any of that from him.

0:36:09.000 --> 0:36:11.239
<v Speaker 5>And so and I do remember, like I think all

0:36:11.280 --> 0:36:13.479
<v Speaker 5>of us were very excited about I was very wished

0:36:13.520 --> 0:36:18.840
<v Speaker 5>to guy, but also watching him play a college you're like,

0:36:18.920 --> 0:36:22.400
<v Speaker 5>this guy is a playmaker. He can make that's exactly right,

0:36:22.400 --> 0:36:25.080
<v Speaker 5>and you just haven't seen that happen yet. And uh,

0:36:25.080 --> 0:36:27.200
<v Speaker 5>and I'm hopeful that that that's just a matter of

0:36:27.239 --> 0:36:29.200
<v Speaker 5>he's got to get acclimated to the game. And it

0:36:29.239 --> 0:36:30.839
<v Speaker 5>even goes back to the point you were making about

0:36:30.880 --> 0:36:34.439
<v Speaker 5>being able to anticipate. It's hard to expect that Bell

0:36:34.560 --> 0:36:37.520
<v Speaker 5>would have that linebacker anticipation and that I that a

0:36:37.560 --> 0:36:40.200
<v Speaker 5>linebacker has to have when he's never played linebacker.

0:36:40.239 --> 0:36:42.600
<v Speaker 3>He's having to learn he can run. He could run.

0:36:42.640 --> 0:36:44.680
<v Speaker 3>And the one thing that Bell will do is he

0:36:44.840 --> 0:36:47.160
<v Speaker 3>if he sees it, he will go. And I think

0:36:47.160 --> 0:36:50.960
<v Speaker 3>with Clark Clark, there's that little bit of hesitation. You

0:36:51.000 --> 0:36:53.600
<v Speaker 3>can't have that hesitation and play linebacker in this league.

0:36:53.760 --> 0:36:56.560
<v Speaker 6>I was gonna say even with Layton, it took him

0:36:56.719 --> 0:37:00.279
<v Speaker 6>about maybe two years because I know he had a

0:37:00.280 --> 0:37:03.640
<v Speaker 6>great first year starting out and then in the in

0:37:03.760 --> 0:37:07.520
<v Speaker 6>between when shan Lee came back and all that, and

0:37:07.719 --> 0:37:09.960
<v Speaker 6>he kind of lost that and you watched his name

0:37:10.239 --> 0:37:12.200
<v Speaker 6>his game, and not to compare him to Sean Lee,

0:37:12.239 --> 0:37:14.880
<v Speaker 6>but Shanlee was great at it with just guessing and

0:37:14.960 --> 0:37:18.600
<v Speaker 6>anticipating and going for it before you know, just knowing

0:37:18.600 --> 0:37:20.640
<v Speaker 6>where to go or guess where the play was going.

0:37:21.040 --> 0:37:24.600
<v Speaker 6>And you saw that a lot in Layton, so him

0:37:24.719 --> 0:37:28.760
<v Speaker 6>lacking that kind of skill or trade, but then eventually

0:37:28.800 --> 0:37:30.879
<v Speaker 6>he found it and he got better at it even

0:37:30.920 --> 0:37:34.440
<v Speaker 6>when he was playing still, you saw him be such

0:37:34.480 --> 0:37:38.399
<v Speaker 6>a such a better player within the maturity of it.

0:37:38.400 --> 0:37:40.680
<v Speaker 6>It's more of just the knowledge and being out there,

0:37:40.760 --> 0:37:43.440
<v Speaker 6>the amount of snaps that you're out there, the amount

0:37:43.480 --> 0:37:45.920
<v Speaker 6>of time that you're out there. It comes with the

0:37:46.000 --> 0:37:48.120
<v Speaker 6>years of experience and being a veteran.

0:37:48.960 --> 0:37:50.440
<v Speaker 5>All right, I got three more names for you an

0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:53.520
<v Speaker 5>album and take them all in one category. Carl Davis

0:37:53.680 --> 0:37:56.960
<v Speaker 5>also DIGGI Zua Neville Gallimore. I know you mentioned the

0:37:56.960 --> 0:37:59.640
<v Speaker 5>title and then the defensive tackles. What were your thoughts

0:37:59.640 --> 0:38:01.360
<v Speaker 5>on how they played in that game and where they

0:38:01.400 --> 0:38:03.200
<v Speaker 5>can be better going into this next Yeah, the.

0:38:03.160 --> 0:38:05.600
<v Speaker 3>Problem was I thought this was OS's worst game by

0:38:05.600 --> 0:38:10.080
<v Speaker 3>far there was he was not. He He didn't where

0:38:10.120 --> 0:38:12.760
<v Speaker 3>he usually is winning is off the off the line,

0:38:13.080 --> 0:38:17.520
<v Speaker 3>and they were They handled him very well. The blocking schemes,

0:38:17.600 --> 0:38:20.480
<v Speaker 3>the combination blocks, the single blocks, they handled him in

0:38:20.480 --> 0:38:22.080
<v Speaker 3>this game. He got up field a couple of times,

0:38:22.160 --> 0:38:24.680
<v Speaker 3>went past to play, you know, and he wasn't able

0:38:24.719 --> 0:38:27.280
<v Speaker 3>to redirect back to get a play. Carl David started

0:38:27.320 --> 0:38:29.680
<v Speaker 3>off really poor in the game, matter of fact, very

0:38:29.680 --> 0:38:31.120
<v Speaker 3>for one of the first plays he's in he went

0:38:31.160 --> 0:38:34.560
<v Speaker 3>to the ground. He got better the last say three

0:38:34.680 --> 0:38:36.840
<v Speaker 3>or four plays that he played in the game that

0:38:36.960 --> 0:38:38.560
<v Speaker 3>he had to go in there and play. There was

0:38:38.600 --> 0:38:40.400
<v Speaker 3>a little bit better movement, a little bit better you

0:38:40.440 --> 0:38:42.919
<v Speaker 3>talk about taking on blocks. He was able to grab

0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:44.760
<v Speaker 3>a couple of guys and kind of free some guys

0:38:44.840 --> 0:38:48.320
<v Speaker 3>up running to the ball. Gallimore had to tackle along

0:38:48.360 --> 0:38:50.319
<v Speaker 3>the sidelines that I remember where he got to the

0:38:50.320 --> 0:38:53.040
<v Speaker 3>outside and actually chased the play, But didn't play a

0:38:53.080 --> 0:38:55.239
<v Speaker 3>whole heck of a lot. I just think overall, the

0:38:55.280 --> 0:38:58.960
<v Speaker 3>defensive tackle groups as a whole was nowhere where it

0:38:59.040 --> 0:39:02.319
<v Speaker 3>needed to be. They to win inside this week with

0:39:02.400 --> 0:39:04.799
<v Speaker 3>the configuration that the Dolphins have, if they don't they're

0:39:04.800 --> 0:39:07.360
<v Speaker 3>going to probably lose this football game, but they're capable

0:39:07.400 --> 0:39:11.160
<v Speaker 3>of playing well against this inside three for the Dolphins.

0:39:11.560 --> 0:39:16.520
<v Speaker 6>Yeah. I mean, if you were to give if you're

0:39:16.560 --> 0:39:19.600
<v Speaker 6>going based off this game against Buffalo, there's nothing positive

0:39:19.680 --> 0:39:22.839
<v Speaker 6>you can say because it was an absolute domination against them.

0:39:22.880 --> 0:39:26.239
<v Speaker 6>So there's absolutely nothing that I can recall that was good.

0:39:26.600 --> 0:39:32.919
<v Speaker 6>But Neville and Osa, they've shown that they can be

0:39:33.040 --> 0:39:36.120
<v Speaker 6>really good, that they are talented player. Osa. I absolutely

0:39:36.200 --> 0:39:38.359
<v Speaker 6>love the way he plays, and to me, I don't

0:39:38.400 --> 0:39:42.440
<v Speaker 6>see that being kind of the standard of the level

0:39:42.480 --> 0:39:48.280
<v Speaker 6>of play. So I don't know. I think that they're

0:39:48.360 --> 0:39:50.560
<v Speaker 6>talented player. This was a bad game, and I hope

0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:53.279
<v Speaker 6>they can bounce back. Carl, I'll be honest, I haven't

0:39:53.280 --> 0:39:55.880
<v Speaker 6>seen a whole lot of him, and the couple of

0:39:55.920 --> 0:39:58.319
<v Speaker 6>plays that I did see where I was specifically just

0:39:58.400 --> 0:40:01.440
<v Speaker 6>watching him, it didn't impress. Just looked like someone that

0:40:01.600 --> 0:40:04.600
<v Speaker 6>just kind of kind of knew to being out there

0:40:04.640 --> 0:40:07.799
<v Speaker 6>on the field right there with everybody else. So let's

0:40:07.800 --> 0:40:10.200
<v Speaker 6>give it some time and see what they've been working

0:40:10.239 --> 0:40:11.319
<v Speaker 6>on this week and see how they can.

0:40:11.440 --> 0:40:13.759
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't have the movement that Hankins has. Yeah, it's

0:40:13.800 --> 0:40:17.240
<v Speaker 3>more of a stationary type of a player. You missed

0:40:17.239 --> 0:40:20.520
<v Speaker 3>that with Hankins and his ability to play down the line,

0:40:20.760 --> 0:40:21.759
<v Speaker 3>Davis doesn't give you.

0:40:21.719 --> 0:40:24.200
<v Speaker 5>That real quick Before we end the show, Janie Thomas,

0:40:24.239 --> 0:40:25.560
<v Speaker 5>what do we see from him? He did have a

0:40:25.560 --> 0:40:27.640
<v Speaker 5>more pronounced role this week, seem him.

0:40:27.640 --> 0:40:29.640
<v Speaker 3>I'll tell you what I was watching with him though.

0:40:29.840 --> 0:40:31.400
<v Speaker 3>To me, there was a couple of times with the

0:40:31.480 --> 0:40:34.520
<v Speaker 3>ball he's coming downhill forced the ball out of bounds.

0:40:34.680 --> 0:40:36.040
<v Speaker 3>I thought he was going to be more of a

0:40:36.080 --> 0:40:38.600
<v Speaker 3>physical player in this game. I think he was worried

0:40:38.600 --> 0:40:41.000
<v Speaker 3>about everybody was kind of worried about Buffalo and the

0:40:41.000 --> 0:40:43.520
<v Speaker 3>potential of throwing the football, But then it turned into

0:40:43.640 --> 0:40:45.640
<v Speaker 3>just a running game. I thought he needed to be

0:40:45.680 --> 0:40:48.759
<v Speaker 3>more involved going downhill and making plays. And you know

0:40:48.840 --> 0:40:50.920
<v Speaker 3>that that was just a kind of a little bit

0:40:50.920 --> 0:40:52.560
<v Speaker 3>of a hit and miss thing for him. It wasn't

0:40:52.760 --> 0:40:55.239
<v Speaker 3>that game where I thought he could have shown up

0:40:55.239 --> 0:40:58.000
<v Speaker 3>and been a big presence. It just didn't work out

0:40:58.000 --> 0:40:58.640
<v Speaker 3>for him that way.

0:40:59.080 --> 0:41:01.360
<v Speaker 6>The one thing I like on him and I think,

0:41:01.640 --> 0:41:04.480
<v Speaker 6>and again I wouldn't be able to list everybody like

0:41:04.600 --> 0:41:06.400
<v Speaker 6>the fastest player in.

0:41:06.280 --> 0:41:07.640
<v Speaker 3>The whole list quick.

0:41:07.760 --> 0:41:09.640
<v Speaker 6>He is a fast guy and I think he can

0:41:09.680 --> 0:41:12.440
<v Speaker 6>bring some of that speed that maybe sometimes you're lacking

0:41:12.480 --> 0:41:15.919
<v Speaker 6>on the secondary. So that's one aspect of his game

0:41:15.920 --> 0:41:18.440
<v Speaker 6>that I do like, and I think he can find

0:41:19.440 --> 0:41:22.840
<v Speaker 6>and take advantage of that part. But yeah, like you said, Brian,

0:41:23.120 --> 0:41:25.960
<v Speaker 6>there's still a lot of stuff that he hasn't been

0:41:25.960 --> 0:41:29.280
<v Speaker 6>out there that much, so you still you're seeing that happen,

0:41:29.360 --> 0:41:33.200
<v Speaker 6>and it's unfair to kind of mega criticize him when

0:41:33.280 --> 0:41:36.560
<v Speaker 6>he hasn't given that been given that whole amount of chance.

0:41:36.719 --> 0:41:37.120
<v Speaker 6>Just yet.

0:41:37.320 --> 0:41:39.520
<v Speaker 5>All right, we appreciate you, guys. Jonas, We'll be back tomorrow.

0:41:39.520 --> 0:41:41.680
<v Speaker 5>We'll wrap this thing up. I'm sorry, tomorrow. No, we'll

0:41:41.680 --> 0:41:45.080
<v Speaker 5>get into the Dolphins defense defense versus the Cowboys offense.

0:41:45.080 --> 0:41:47.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm thinking it's Friday already.

0:41:47.160 --> 0:41:49.000
