We were all on the same relay team 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:30.560 when we're eight years old. We set a record down 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:32.680 at University of Hoarding. That's a squad. Oh yeah, we 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.400 were riding. Maybe that's a fast Garfield's fast. You're listening 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:39.200 being Ohio, you're listening. Yeah, he doesn't want those problems, Danny. 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.520 I've been fascists. I came out to womb okay. So 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:44.560 that's that's you know, that's how we get it done. 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.520 That's how we go get it done today. So you know, 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:50.160 Kyle Yeoman's our our, our guy. He left us. He 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.520 left us today left. I mean he has he has 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:58.280 bigger fish to fry is sometimes you know he left, 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.360 but I just know he left us. The phone rings 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.360 and Kyle had to answer it. But he will be 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.960 back on Monday. So I'm here today and tomorrow. But 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.079 you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna rock out today, guys. 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.160 So I'm gonna finish that line. Don't finish that thank you, 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:13.800 So you know it. Just you know, I'm a bright ware. 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.280 I know, yeah, I know, and I always go cut 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:21.639 you off. Right's gonna hit the button for you. But Pete, 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.040 what's in the news, Pete, We're gonna start with you. 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:25.760 We want to know what's going on. There's been a 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.359 kicking competition. You need to tell us about who our 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:32.200 new kicker is gonna be. Man Lirium Hira lah who Oh. 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.840 I remember him twice twice, signed him at the end 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:40.000 of training camp, signed him for Week two right after 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.440 Greg's Airline missed two field goals and an extra point 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:47.280 against the Bucks, and then zir Line righted things and 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.480 then they release Hira lah Who. And now we'll see 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.600 what happens with Greg's Airline. I think based on history 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:55.640 here this season, with guys that have dealt with COVID, 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.600 it's highly unlikely that he'll play. And they've got Hira 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.280 lah Who on the practice squad. Like you said, he 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:04.800 after a competition with one Brett Maher Cowboys former kickers 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:06.960 for a year and a half. So my question is 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:13.920 Haullahu has no NFL experience and he was he beat 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:19.000 out Maher, who has plenty of NFL experience. How did that? 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.240 I mean, was it even closer? What did Mahur do 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.560 or not do? I heard both guys kicked, well, they 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.279 kicked through their goal polls. They did over the mountains, 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.800 over the mountains. But you know, I think there's more 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.800 history lately with the new special teams coordinator John Fossil 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.160 than there was in eighteen nineteen when Maher was here, 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.159 and mahar made some kicks for this team, had a 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.920 game winner against one team called the Atlanta Falcons years ago, 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.160 but obviously his time here did not end well. And 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.240 look when they signed Maher in twenty eighteen, it was 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.400 kind of a similar situation. CFL guy played a lot 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.840 of football, just not in the NFL, and that's kind 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.800 of high lah whose stories too, So obviously they have 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:03.680 confidence in him to have signed him now for a 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.920 third time, and I think the odds are pretty good 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.560 that he'll be activated this weekend. But it sucks. It 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.400 sucks simply because of the fact that now you know, 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.640 it's not like any other position where you can just say, hey, 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:16.720 somebody else, just come in. This guy would be out 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:21.400 this week possibly now because it's your kicker, somebody most 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.520 likely is gonna have to be let go. Yes, that's 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:27.240 the Secky situation about this. Somebody on your roster is 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:28.760 going to have to get let go. So now you're 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.200 going down and saying I'm wrong. Now you do a 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.880 straight elevation this time you can just practice squad so 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.520 I keep forgetting the rules change. So it's it's a 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.840 great rule. I mean, especially with COVID. I mean, this 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.880 is a this is that situation where a guy is 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.240 most likely going on to COVID, he is on COVID 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:50.320 reserve zeroline, and you can just elevates the only positive 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:54.360 thing to come out of COVID. Yea, Because in the 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.440 past you would have to let one of your fifty 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.880 three go or now fifty five whatever it is, okay, 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:00.560 and let one of your guys go and hope that 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:02.839 he clears waivers and that you can get him back. Yeah, 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.000 but now you don't have to. Yeah, it's a good rule. 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.840 Now he's also going to be handling kickoff duties as well. Yeah, Now, 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:10.680 Howard la who is going to have to boot that 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:14.080 thing out of the end zone this week? Well let's see, 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.279 Well he can't shank on one and get it to 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.600 call Darrel Patterson that we know is known to take 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.880 it to the house because he don't play take it 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:23.520 to the house. Would you would you rather kick it 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.839 out of bounds or kick it to huh kind of 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.039 angle it? Yeah, I mean you're gonna try to stop 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:30.600 him down in the corner. That's the hardest thing for 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.880 a kick returner. Yeah, I know one um hardest thing 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:35.520 is coming out of the corner on a Kioff return. 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.159 But if if he had to mess up, would you 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.359 rather him kick it inside, you know, before the goal line, right, 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.120 keep it in play or kick it out of bounds? 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.280 I mean Patterson will he will take it out four 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.680 yards deep. That's yes, I mean he don't it don't 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.280 really doesn't matter, That's what I'm saying. Kick that thing 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.200 to the to the chili to standing up on the 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:52.720 little thing. If you had to pick though, if you 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.480 if you didn't know, I'm gonna angle it. I'm gonna 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:56.159 angle it, you know, try and get an angle on 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.280 him and hopefully pin him down. I mean that's I mean, 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.320 he's a he's a dangerous guy. And you know if 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.120 you you go to sleep on one of those kickoff 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.880 returns kickoff return team, that he will take it to 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:08.440 the house on you. Any other news injury news, practice news, 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:12.920 anything coming out from yesterday. There were six guys who 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.960 did not practice yesterday, most notably Tyrant Smith with the 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:22.520 ankle and I'm blanking on a Cedric Wilson with a 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.200 shoulder injury. Did not practice, so we'll see what happens. 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.080 They're gonna be in pads. This is the day where 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.880 you really kind of gauge where guys are at. Michael 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.720 Gallup's going to be activated. I'm pretty confident of that 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.440 this week and h and then you had a couple 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.800 of guys who were sick non COVID Corey Clement, I'm 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:44.040 blanking on CJ. Goodwin, and as a precaution, it's not 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.920 close contact. Otherwise they'd be on reserve COVID, but just 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.040 out of out of precaution with Greg's urline on reserve COVID. 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:54.200 They held out Brian Anger and Jake McQuaid yesterday long 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.800 snapper and punter. And what's the mindset owned that and 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:01.280 holding these If there was no close contact, why was 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.320 it just an a total abundance of caution by the 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.440 medical staff and the training staff. That's what I was told, 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:08.960 Because it's just being just being careful, because I mean, 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.280 you know, when Mike McCarthy spoke to this yesterday, not 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.440 that specifically, but when a guy tests positive, you know 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.640 you're just going to be cautious test everybody, and you 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.440 kind of, I mean, you kind of hold your breath 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.080 for a couple of days. Make sure you know nobody 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:22.600 else lands on the list. I want to take out 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.440 all of your specialty guys. That would be a nightmare 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.560 heading into this game. But guys, let's get on get 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.000 this on the road. Man. We know that Thursdays are 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:33.880 always for offense, Cowboys offense versus the defense. And last 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.559 week our offense had a stinker of a game, and 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:38.520 you talk about it. As far as the numbers are 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:42.160 concerned with, Dak hadn't seen numbers that low since his 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:47.760 rookie season QBR completions. However, he still was able to 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.400 throw two touchdowns and right now he's still in a streak. 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.120 I think it's five games so far that he has 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.440 double multiple touchdowns, So he's on a bit of a streak. 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.320 People call that empty calories. But Pee, I'll start with you. 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:02.280 How do you get back in the rhythm because obviously 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.880 he wasn't last week. I think it starts. I think 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.079 it starts with him because I think he is such 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.360 a motivated guy. It wouldn't shock he got a question 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.000 about it in the post game. It wouldn't shock me 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.000 at all. He's heard about this blueprint stuff and I 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:15.640 know we're gonna get into that later. I just think 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.959 he's such a self motivated guy and he didn't want 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.200 to blame his performance on the calf and all that. 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.160 But you can't convince me that Russ did not factor 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.160 in a little bit into that that performance, along with 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:29.800 what Denver did, give him credit. Man, they had a 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.400 great game plan, Vic Fangio told us all about it, 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.080 you know, and and they executed it well. But I 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.800 just think his own his own internal clock, like he's 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:40.840 he's gonna come out ready. I don't think we're gonna 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:44.120 see a repeat of this. Isaiah Monday, when you came in. 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.720 The one thing that that was that I noted, you 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:51.040 said was Dak played hurt and you could tell on 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.240 some of his throws. Do you still after watching the tape, 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.360 do you still believe that? Do you believe that it 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.240 was Russ? Uh? Like he said, yeah, I'm not sure 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.640 if he if he played hurt, I just think that mentally, 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.680 I'm meant to mechanically he was. He was not sound, 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:08.800 and I don't know if that's because of the calf. 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.120 I don't know if that's because of the rust. But 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.319 either whatever the result where whatever the reason, was. He 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.440 did not come prepared to play physically, And you know, 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:18.880 I think a lot of that is just him being 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.800 intentional about, you know, thinking about the things that as 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:23.480 a quarter as a veteran quarterback, you don't have to 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:26.280 normally think about my drop, how I set on my 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.760 back leg, how I transfer my weight, all those things 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.240 that just come naturally because you had a gazillion reps 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.000 at him. Now when you have been out for a 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:34.800 little bit, now that if you actually had a you know, 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:38.040 care for a calf that affects your throwing emotion, Now 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.240 those things have to become prominent again in you and 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:41.679 your thinking. All right, now you have to go back 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.360 through those steps, drop, sit on the back leg, drop 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.320 your hips, transfer the weight, all those things, get my 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.240 elbow up. All those kind of things have to come 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.160 back into the fold until you get back on the 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.640 bandwagon again. And I just think that he probably just 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:53.880 thought he could just go back out there and just 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:55.960 go back to throwing again with life bullets coming at you. 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.920 And we saw the result of that. He was inaccurate, 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:03.240 balls were bad, velocity wasn't there. It just it just 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.600 wasn't a good showing. And on the same on the 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.079 same thing in terms of when receivers are trying to 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.080 catch the ball, no excuse wants the ball touch your hands. 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.760 We know the rule. But when when that velocity is off, 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:14.600 When that velocity is off, it's a little bit when 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:16.760 the when the ball location is not where you expected 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.800 to be. Because of how your relationship is that you 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:20.679 have with your quarterback, those things affect you as well, 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:22.240 even though they hit your hands, even though it hit 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:23.920 you in the chest, if the ball's coming out a 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:25.719 little bit hotter, guess what your timing's off. All that 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.680 stuff is as proprioception. All that stuff is depth, perception. 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.280 All those things play a factor into the past and 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:35.280 the reception of making completions. It's a great breakdown from 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.400 a former quarterback. I mean, well, how do you come 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:41.320 behind that? But look true? But absolutely And the one 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.640 thing that I want to point out was the timing. 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.560 You talk about the timing. That's what I thought more 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:48.840 than anything, that the timing was off. The first time 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.160 that I seen dak hesitate on the throw, not that 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.200 it wasn't there, it just seemed like he was second 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.319 guessing himself. Did you see the same thing? Yeah? I did. 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.400 I did, And I think you saw saw that affect 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.160 his delivery as well. And again, these are all things 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.000 that he can shure up. That's all stuff that he'll 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.079 go back and watch the film. They can say blueprint, 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:06.960 they can say, you know, the d coordinator did a 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.720 great job. He missed opportunities, and there was nothing that 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.680 if he would have hit on those opportunities, you know 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:13.760 that defensive coordinate wouldn't seen up here talking about how 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:16.400 about how great of a job he did. The reality 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.520 is we threw the ball bad. We dropped a lot 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.280 of balls, and we missed touchdown throws. That's the facts. 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:23.760 And you do have to give a little bit of 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.040 credit to Denver, maybe more than a little bit, just 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.760 because of the way they play. I meant there were 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.319 there were opportunities, like Isaiah said, but for a lot 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.920 of that game, that was some tight man covers that 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:37.760 they're in and guys weren't running as free as we've 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.520 seen in other games where it's that whole pick your 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:43.240 poison thing and maybe you know, teams playing more zone 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:44.920 and trying not to give up the big play and 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.440 Dalton Shultz is killing you underneath. There weren't any of 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.960 that in this game. Yeah, so talking about pick you poison, 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:51.800 and we get a little bit of our poison back 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:53.760 this week. Talk about a guy that's been dealing with 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:57.600 a calf injury, Michael Gallop. Michael Gallop is back on 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.360 the field, and I always, you know, I hesitate because 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.800 Cechil Wilson plays so well in his absence. You know, 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.280 what do you think the effect of having Michael Gallop 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:07.800 back in this offense is going to be for the 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.480 Cowboys this week? Jerry said it on Tuesday. Deep threat. 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.760 He's he's probably their best deep threat on the team. 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.760 And I'm kind of reminded of one of his other 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:19.679 good skills in this last game where there was a 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.440 lot of contested balls. He's a great guy just to 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:23.760 go up and get it. I mean, he's a great 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.680 contested ball catcher. So I think those two things stand out. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.319 And you know, Ceedee Lamb talked about yesterday. He's like, 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:30.959 if if y'all don't know how good he is, you're 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:32.960 all about to see And I think fans know, but 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:34.880 it's been it's been a while since he's been out there, 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.880 so he is a difference maker on his offense. And 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.520 I have been I know I've been missing him, and 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.679 I know that the Dallas Cowboys have been missing him 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.360 as well. He's he takes a lot of pressure off 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.440 of Coop. Coop's really good. He's really good. We know 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.040 that he's one of the best in the league. And 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.199 he's a dog. He plays through injury, he plays through 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:53.760 all that stuff. He has a heart of a lion. 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.480 But he needs it. He needs his comrade, he needs 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.440 his buddy, he needs he needs his parting his right hip. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.640 And that's what Gallup is as well as Wilson's been playing, 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:04.360 as well as Noah Brown has been playing. These guys 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.600 have done their job in terms of fulfilling their roles 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:08.760 and by stepping up the next man up. They've done 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.080 a great job of that and that's why they're on 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.400 this roster. However, they're not Gallup. And Gallup provides you 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.199 not only your deep threat, okay, but he takes Guess 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.640 what happens when he's running down the field. That safety 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.360 can't sit there and key on Coop. Now that safety 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.680 can't sit up there and have his eyes back there 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.400 on Sholts in terms of what he's doing. I gotta 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.000 get out of there, right, I gotta get gone because 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:28.840 I have to respect this dude. Not only can't he run, 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:30.560 he can catch. His one thing just to have a 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:32.240 fast gout on your team. There's a bunch plenty of 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.760 specialists that can run fast, right, This duke can run, 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.480 he can catch, he can catch the short route, he 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.520 can create separation. He's shifty. He's a heck of a 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:41.600 number two. I mean, we talked about it coming into 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.240 the season. Is he a one B? Right? He's not Coop, right, 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.560 but we talked about his abilities and hey, do we 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:48.120 are we gonna be able to retain him going into 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.720 next year? All those conversations were taking place, and then ah, 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:52.680 he got injured. What have you seen from the wide 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:55.520 receiver group in his absence that you can continue to 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.000 build on. I mean, obviously with a guy going out 0:14:58.040 --> 0:14:59.760 and you talk about his ability to take the top 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:03.400 off a defense, but also you saw Coop running those 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.480 deep routes. You also saw CD running those deep routes. 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:08.720 Are those things that you want to continue to keep 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.240 in your offense because obviously you saw a guy step 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:13.760 up in his absence. I think more than anything you 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:15.840 show you know there, I don't think there's anything that 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:17.800 was proven to our coach and staff that these players 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:19.520 show them. These guys know what these guys are all 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.280 capable of, all the way from Noah Brown all the 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:22.800 way up to Coop Right, you know what these dudes 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:24.640 are capable of. The only person we don't know still 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.680 a semi right and he's still around. But in terms 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:31.800 of of of Gallup, you know, he he What he's 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.560 gonna be able to bring is the ability to do 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.600 everything and take all those things off those guys played. 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.880 When those guys step on the field, now, the opposing teams, 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:42.000 the defensive coordinators know exactly that everybody out there is 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.280 a thread. When before you uhould just look at and say, hey, 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.160 I know Coop's a thread, I know Gallup's a threat, 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.200 and Cedric we know he'll come in and do this. Oh, 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.400 when Noah brands in the game, he's blocking. Not the 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.520 case anymore. Now, when those guys step on the field, 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:54.400 the defensive coordinator has to say, we gotta respect all 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:56.480 these guys because they've shown it. Yeah, that's gonna be 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.480 interesting to see because you know, with Vic Vangio last 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.760 week kind of pounding his chest about being able to 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:06.560 stay in man, I wonder, I wonder will Atlanta. Take 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:10.680 the same approach coming into this game knowing that we've 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:14.040 got a few of our weapons back this weekend. Look, 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.440 there's gonna be some mismatches on that front line, and 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.680 we're gonna talk about it coming back after the break. 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.480 But guys, we got a lot to talk about because 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.440 we have may have some mismatches in this game coming 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:27.840 up next back here on Talking Cowboys.
