That was a different 16 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: That was a different kind of loss, you know, the 17 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: kind that people will not put in the rear view mirror, 18 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: and it just will I mean, look, we just got 19 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: to get to this Sunday to get this feeling behind us. 20 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: You feel like that's going to happen this Sunday. Oh 21 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: hell yeah, we have to, Okay, I mean we have to. 22 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: It's it's one of those things where the tape isn't 23 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: gonna lie. These guys are seeing the effort and just 24 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: when you go back over and it's just us, it's nasty. 25 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: Uh So I anticipate this Sunday at twelve o'clock and 26 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: those noon games have been a booger for us, man, 27 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: but you know, I expect for these guys to do something, 28 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: to come in more energetic on Sunday at twelve. I 29 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: was pretty proud of Cowboys Nation Twitter on Sunday Monday Tuesday. 30 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: The toxicity level was not what I expected. The venom. 31 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: The venom was not what I expected coming out of 32 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,559 Speaker 1: that game. They I think people had it in perspective. 33 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: I think when you win sixth straight, maybe your due. 34 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: Yeah Sunday, if that happens again, though, it's uh yeah, 35 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: that toxicity is going to be right back at the 36 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 1: high level. It would go atomic. Yeah, one more time, 37 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: it'd be atomic. H Yeah, you could say that again. 38 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: Welcome Isaiah, sir. How's it going my friend today, mate, 39 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: Well might he had an early morning this morning? I 40 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: saw it on your Instagram store Away. I was actually 41 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 1: a late morning, was it. Yeah, you got to sleep 42 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,839 Speaker 1: in a little bit. I have to wake up till 43 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: five thirty today. Wow. Yeah, I hate that. I hate 44 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: even thinking about that. Yeah, I was. I was on 45 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: daddy duty. So the kids actually got up with me 46 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: this morning. Oh that's fun. Yeah, they love it. Actually, 47 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,839 Speaker 1: there you go every so often, every so often. So 48 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: we were talking about the toxicity of Cowboys Nation and 49 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: how it wasn't at the atomic level yet, but if 50 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: the Cowboys do lose this weekend, it would reach new 51 00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: heights ultimately on Twitter and social media. And that's Dallas. Yeah. Yeah, 52 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: that's the pressure that runs with That's that's what comes 53 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: with being in Dallas. That's I can tell you from 54 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: somebody who's been on been with some of the larger 55 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: organizations in the in the in the NFL, that's Dallas 56 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: more souther than New York, more even more southern New York. Yeah. 57 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: What about New England? New England is they're just supportive. 58 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: All they do is win. So yeah, every regulation and 59 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: freaking Boston wins seemingly at least when when I was 60 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: playing see But I feel like that would ratchet up 61 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: the pressure even more with though No, I think they 62 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: just have a confidence that everything's gonna be okay. I mean, 63 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: you gotta remember, Cowboys fans have been waiting for championships 64 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: for a very long time. To point, the city of 65 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: Boston hasn't had to wait that long, so when you 66 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: make those kind of comparisons, and the city of New 67 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: York hasn't had to wait that long, so they have 68 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: more recent memories of things that grasp one to and 69 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: hope to have. Um confidence to have versus versus the Cowboys. 70 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: I feel like the Cowboys like hippie pip pipe hype, 71 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: and it's right is hippe hype, And so I think 72 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: people are tired of their roller coaster. Um. Yeah, So 73 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: I think they're just they're hopeful, very very hopeful. Cowboy 74 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: fans know what a great team looks like, though it's 75 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: been a long time since they've had a champion, but 76 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: they true. I think that's why. I think that's why 77 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: there's some perspective here. I think people know they're good. 78 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: They just have to show it. They have to come 79 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: out with the energy that they had during that six 80 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: game win streak, and part of it's about themselves, and 81 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: then also the fact that we're always in the in 82 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: the national media and then in everyone's face. So the 83 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: expectation and the disappointment is always front and center as well. 84 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: And you talk about other organizations like Boston, I mean 85 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: they were a grease fire for a number of years, 86 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: and so it wasn't until Belichick and Tom Brady got 87 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: there than any of that even started. So I mean 88 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: you talk about the history of the Dallas Cowboys and 89 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: winning Super Bowls, I mean, this is an expectation, and 90 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: so you know, even if the fan base sometimes and 91 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: what really trips me out is how people perceive Cowboy fans. 92 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: It's like these brats are you know? These people that 93 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: that feel as though each and every year is our year. 94 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: Name a team that doesn't feel like that. Name a 95 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: fan base that doesn't feel like their team should be 96 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: number one every year, and I'll show you a loser. 97 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: Can I say where it's accurate? Though? Where about the 98 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: judging quarterback play in this town. I think that's the 99 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: one where it's like there's no perspective there because they've 100 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 1: been so fortunate and there's franchises that don't have anywhere 101 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: close to the fortune they've had finding quarterbacks, whether it's 102 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: mid round picks, undrafted guys, first round picks, you name it. 103 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: I wonder what percentage of Cowboys Nation and I think 104 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: it's probably still pretty high, but how large of a 105 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: percentage it is that realizes how lucky, and I mean 106 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: straight up lucky the Cowboys got with Dak Prescott replacing 107 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: Tony Romo and that seamless transition in twenty sixteen and 108 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: how that happened, and then the fact that it is 109 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: carried on all the way through twenty twenty one and 110 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: it'll continue through the rest of Dak Prescott's career. I mean, 111 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: that transition could not have worked out any better for 112 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: Cowboys fans. And it does bring up some bad memories 113 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: for a lot of Cowboys fans as well, especially those 114 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: that were really high on Tony Romo. But I mean 115 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: having a franchise quarterback and then immediately replacing him with 116 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: another franchise quarterback. That doesn't happen that often, but the 117 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: Cowboys have had that great fortune over the last couple 118 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: of years. Now we keep talking about how this team 119 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: is good or they can still do something special even 120 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: though you did have an embarrassing loss. The first step 121 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: in that is, like I said, putting into the review 122 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: mirror and then taking a step forward, and the Atlanta 123 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: Falcons are that step forward. This week, you also got 124 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: a guy who knows the Atlanta Falcons pretty darn well, 125 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: and that's Dan Quinn, defensive coordinator, former head coach of 126 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: the Falcons, and had you post this question in our 127 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: group message earlier in the week. But do you think 128 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,679 Speaker 1: dan Quinn has that brings a little bit of an 129 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: advantage the fact that he knows that organization inside and out, 130 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: in the fact that he has already left his stamp 131 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: on this defensive or defensive unit. A mean and he 132 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 1: even said it in his interview that maybe you know 133 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: only on personnel because he drafted most of these guys, 134 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: but their systems and everything that they do now is 135 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: completely different from when he was there, and so studying 136 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: tendencies all that you know, that may be important, but 137 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: still the difference the defenses, offense, everything is completely different 138 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: from when he was there. So, I mean, again, if 139 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: there's any advantage, it's just on personnel alone. What do 140 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: you guys think about having that, Isaiah, did you ever 141 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: play against the former coach like that? Not head coach, 142 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: but I mean did you have a head coach? Yeah? 143 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: I was thinking Belichick, but yeah, yeah Belichick, m Garrett, Right, yeah, 144 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: played against Garrett. I mean, but that as a player, 145 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I mean coaching wise, knowing the personnel, right, 146 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: knowing the personnel and knowing there's obviously guys still on 147 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: the roster that he's familiarized with, then he understands their 148 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: strengths and their weaknesses, and you can play to those things. 149 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: You know, I think teams are. It's no different than 150 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: like Diggs. Diggs ball out the first part of the season, right, 151 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: and now teams know what he's what he's great at, 152 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: but they also know what he's vulnerable to him. Right, 153 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: So when you're a coach and you've coached those guys, 154 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: you also know those things. You know what they're more 155 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: inclined to do. These guys, he's more inclined to jump 156 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: on this type of route, they're more inclined to take 157 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: this type of set when when we line up in 158 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: this in this type of front. So there's there's advantages 159 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: like that that I'm sure that he'll bring to those meetings. 160 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: But other than that, you know, guys just got to 161 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: show up and play. Yeah, I mean he was with 162 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan for six years, so I think in six 163 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: years you've got a pretty good read on what he likes, 164 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: what tendencies he doesn't like, and so I think that helps. 165 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: But even from a personnel standpoint, some of the guys 166 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: are driving their offense weren't there when he was there, 167 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: you know, Quarduroll, Pattison was not there, Kyle Pitts was 168 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: not there. So I think it helps, maybe especially from 169 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: the quarterback perspective because they had a close relationship and 170 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: they worked together for a long time. But yeah, the 171 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: scheme of the offense is different, and a lot of 172 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: personnel is different. How much crossover is there between a 173 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator and a quarterback whenever, or not even a 174 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, but a head coach and a quarterback when 175 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: the head coach is so defensive minded, I mean there's 176 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: a lot. You know exactly what Matt Ryan doesn't like, 177 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: you know, you know exactly the looks that he likes. 178 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: So when he used to call him when the plays 179 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: came in and he obviously passed him along or gave 180 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: all gave Matt Ryan. Okay, like he knew exactly what 181 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: plays he wanted, right. I like this type of look. 182 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: I feel confident in this. So I'm pretty sure that 183 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: Quinn's gonna stay away from those kind of looks. He 184 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: also knows exactly what pisses Matt Ryan off or what 185 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: causes him issues. And you know, he was able to 186 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: fire those things up in practice or not send me, 187 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: you know, to have whatever type of practice they were 188 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: looking for. So he knows advantages and disadvantages, and you know, 189 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see. It'd be very interesting to see. Yeah, 190 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: the Tennessee's man, I mean, you know your quarterback. If 191 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: you're a head coach, you know you're a quarterback. And 192 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:51,839 Speaker 1: I love what he had to say about it. He 193 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: says he's an ultimate competitor. And knowing that, you know, 194 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan has been one of those quarterbacks over the 195 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: years that has gone as high as he could possibly 196 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: go to, you know, going to a Super Bowl, it 197 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: going as low as he could possibly go with just 198 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 1: man team having an awful season, him being injured right now, 199 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: I think even in the evaluation of the Falcons, man, 200 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: it's just really kind of weird to see them without 201 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: Julio and some of the guys that have been a 202 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: part of the team for so many years. They're completely changed. 203 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: And I think the team that we're going to see 204 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: come in here on Sunday, it's gonna be a lot 205 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: different from the one that was here last year that 206 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: we you know, obviously, the famed Watermelon kick and all 207 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: of that, and it was a victory that we had 208 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: to pull out. But I want to see what Arthur 209 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: Smith brings to the table. I think Arthur Smith and 210 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: you know, a new head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, 211 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: thirty nine years old, one of those offensive minds that 212 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: everyone kind of thrust to the front. You know, he 213 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: had his success in Tennessee. You know that they went 214 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: from Tennessee. They wanted to run the ball, playoff, play action, 215 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: and throw, and I think that's the same thing that 216 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: they're doing here. The way that they're using Cordell Patterson. 217 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: I think it's very interesting. I've watched Cardelle Patterson's career 218 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: and how I didn't know he was that kind of weapon, 219 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: but they obviously saw something in him and what he 220 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: does that they think, you know, is you can lead 221 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: this franchise and right now, if if the season ended 222 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: right now, Atlanta would be in the playoffs. And that's 223 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: that's hard to fathom for a lot of people. And 224 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: that's another thing. You can't overlook this team as well. 225 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to be a problem after 226 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: what the Broncos just did, But you can't overlook this 227 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: squad as well just because they had a poor start 228 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: to the year. They've won some some gritty games four 229 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: and four, and all four of their wins have been 230 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: within a single score. I mean, they've won close games, 231 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: and I guess through the Cowboys side of things, they've 232 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: won close games as well. So if you want to 233 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: kind of look at the two back and forth, you 234 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: gotta make sure you take them seriously. Now, with dan 235 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: Quinn and the game plan that he has and the 236 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: fact that he knows the personnel to a certain extent 237 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the football, what would he 238 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: say the strengths are of this Atlanta squad. Would it 239 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: be Cordarell Patterson, would it be Kyle Pitts is at 240 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: the run game? What exactly is it specifically that dan 241 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: Quinn would try and take away? It's not the run game. 242 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: You know that they don't run it a lot, and 243 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: they haven't run it with a ton of success either. 244 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: I think they're getting three point four yards to carry. 245 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: They're near the bottom of the league and attempts. You know, 246 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: it's it's Matt Ryan and you guys watched it. I mean, 247 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: they're they're kind of the mismatch business. Basically, They've got 248 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: a running back who's not really a running back, and 249 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: they've got a tight end who's not a tight end 250 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: that you know, they try to create mismatches with Cordoroll 251 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: Patterson out of the backfield, line him up everywhere, and 252 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts lines up everywhere, and sometimes it's getting the 253 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: attention of the number one cornerback on the other team. 254 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: So interested to see how the Cowboys handle both of 255 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: those because it's a pretty unique offense from a personnel standpoint, 256 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: and Rob right on the hit. I mean, these guys 257 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: are they create mismatch nightmares. I mean, they create personnel 258 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 1: nightmares for you. Um, you know it's it's kind of 259 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: kind of incredible. The fact that Cordale right, corda Corridoril Like, 260 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: I'm like, Cordoil, Yeah, Um, that's how I'm gonna remember it. Um, 261 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: if you call him that sometime throughout the week, I'm 262 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: gonna laugh so hard it will happen. I'm sure, no disrespect, 263 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: but I mean the fact that he can line up 264 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: in the backfield and you have to treat him as 265 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: a running back. But then he could literally widen out 266 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: and if you don't have the right personnel called on 267 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: the defense side of the ball, you're gonna put a 268 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: lineback around him or a safety on him. Either way, 269 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: you lose, and he'll run a go route too on you. Yeah, 270 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: either way you lose. He's a receiver by trade. Ye, 271 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: he's a returner by trade. Um, So you line up 272 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: anybody but Michael Parsons, you're gonna lose. You line up 273 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: you know, you know JR. Jay Ron Curse and try 274 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: to guard him on a route. It's probably not going 275 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 1: to end well, even though Curses had a good year. 276 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: You know, sticking tight ends, This is not a tight end. 277 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: This is not a running back. This is this is 278 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: a wide receiver that has set the size to be 279 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: able to lay the hammer down one need to be. 280 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: So that's that's just rosse point. They create those those 281 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: matchup issues for you, and I don't. I'm interested to 282 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: see personnel wise what we go out there with on 283 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: defense when they come out of these different packages. Because again, 284 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: if Pitts, White and Whiten's out, who do you put 285 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: on them? If Cordell comes out the backfield, Cordell comes 286 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: out the backfille, then what do you do? It's gonna 287 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: be an interesting thing to see for dan Quinn. I 288 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: think that he has the personnel to match up perfectly 289 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: with these guys. I mean, you know, Kyle Pitts is 290 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: a tight end. We're gonna slash receiver Patterson in his 291 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: career right now. He's looking good. He's done some some 292 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: pretty good things. And like we said last year, and 293 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: we were evaluating the Atlanta Falcons, you know, even though 294 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: christ of the three hundred looks like a Bentley. So 295 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure that I stayed with that because 296 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: I feel like this defense has the leg up on 297 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: the Falcons offense. And the reason being is we got 298 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: to get back to getting pressure on the quarterback. We 299 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: hadn't been able to do that. And I think, you know, 300 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: there's so much has been made of getting turnovers. What's 301 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: good to happen when this defense doesn't get a turnover. 302 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: We had one last game, but obviously a flag negated that. 303 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: But we have to get back to that. That's what 304 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: that's what we do. Create those turnovers, create pressure and 305 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: make quarterbacks make bad decisions. And that's where Matt Ryan, 306 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: I believe, is at his best in making those those 307 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: bad decisions. He'll give you an opportunity to get the ball. 308 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: But obviously with the deep crossers and we're seeing those 309 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: be a problems sometimes for Diggs. They're gonna hit us 310 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: with that and they're gonna try and put put those 311 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: mismatches together. But we have to understand, man, they're without 312 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, and Ridley took his absence because of mental 313 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: health and we wish him all the best. But still 314 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: I think that when you look at Russell Gage and 315 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: our ability to play him with Lewis, I think those 316 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: are those are matchups that our guys should look forward 317 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: to because these are winnable for them. But Isaiah is 318 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: right when he's out of the backfield, when Patterson's coming 319 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: out of the backfield, do you put Micah on him? 320 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: Do you go with Jay run curse on him? I 321 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: think there are things that you can do within your 322 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: defense to make sure that he's not the one guy 323 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: that beats you. Let's let's say that they're in I 324 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: guess what would it be? Eleven personnel, three wide receivers. 325 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: You've got the running back which is Cordorel Patterson in 326 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: the backfield, and then you've got the one tight end 327 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: in Kyle Pitts on the field right, and you spread out. 328 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: Cordorel Patterson comes out of the backfield and he adds 329 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: that that fourth wide receiver looks So now you're in 330 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: one personnel. What's the difference from really any other team 331 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: just putting four wide receivers with a tight end. That's 332 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: what they initially come out in. Okay, So you initially 333 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: come out in you initially come out with three receivers. 334 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: So I guess what you put three dvs out there? 335 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: Or you put three cornerbacks out there right in Nickel. Now, 336 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he comes out the backfield. Now 337 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: who bumps out your linebacker? Right? So it's all about 338 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: the personnel that they come out on line up with. 339 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: That's how they create those mismatches. That's how that's how 340 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: they that's how they mess you up because they can 341 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: come out in twelve personnel. Yep, they come out of 342 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: twelve personnel or you know, one running back, two tight 343 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: ends and severs all of a sudden, now you're in 344 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: your base defense and now you got this dude. He 345 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: comes out the backfield and you're like, oh crap. Or 346 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: they have a short split with their receiver and now 347 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: they've run Pits outside and then they motioned Patterson and 348 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: now they're now they're in an empty set and you're 349 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: guarding Pits with a cornerback and you're guarding you know, 350 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: Patterson with a dog on linebacker. Is It's just they 351 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: can create some some bad situations for you. Everybody's gonna 352 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 1: have to have their and their antenna's up. But how 353 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: do you combat that? Maybe even prior to the snap 354 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: with personnel? Who do you put out there if you 355 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: know that there's a chance that Patterson does split out? Why? 356 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: I mean I think you I think you negated by 357 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: doing exactly what Rob said. Rob said, they're not running 358 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 1: the ball, Well they're not. They're not running the ball. Well, 359 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: so knowing that they're not running the ball, well you 360 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: might be able to come out in these Nickel type 361 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: sets and and not and just just say, hey, guess what, 362 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: non't matter what you do, we can stop your run 363 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: even in this personnel grouping. And if you decided to 364 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: widen these guys out, we have the personnel out there 365 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 1: to go ahead and guard you. You're not gonna mess 366 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: this up. And every you call it a big nickel, 367 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: whatever you want, that's we're typically in the nickel anyway. 368 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: So I mean, whether they go empty or they go 369 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: with him and the one you know as the back 370 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: in the backfield, we're usually there. And I and and 371 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,239 Speaker 1: for me again going back to our strong safety, it's 372 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: your run curse, um ja run curse is the is 373 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 1: the link uh in this game or most of the 374 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: games when they go to an empty set where he's 375 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: having to make plays or he's isolated with the tight end, 376 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: we still have to talk about Hayton Hurst. I mean, 377 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: we're looking at other pieces, but Hayden Hurst is also 378 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: a weapon for them as well. So I mean, and 379 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: Zachie is that dude is coming along strong, so you 380 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: better respect him as well. But do you have two 381 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: or three touchdowns this week? He's balling, Yeah, he's ball 382 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 1: and he's playing more without Ridley. Yes, they I mean 383 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: they play Cowboys play a lot of big nickel, like 384 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 1: you said, and if you watch, I mean the Falcons 385 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: will run against that and and hand it off if 386 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: they see, you know, kind of a light front. But yeah, 387 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: they haven't run it that great. And I do think 388 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: to your point, heck, the Cowboys are way better equipped 389 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: this year than they were last year with curses, versatility, parsons, 390 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: speed back there. They've just got more versatility. They just 391 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: they just didn't play well last week. I mean, Quinn said, 392 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: they missed fourteen tackles, they didn't finish runs, didn't finish plays, 393 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 1: they were trying to strip the ball, trying to get 394 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: that takeaway instead of just wrapping up and finishing the play. 395 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: It just wasn't It just wasn't a good performance. And 396 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: you know, if you go back to the Patriots game, 397 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: I think they tried to test the Cowboys in space 398 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: with their tight ends and their running back. So see 399 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: how responded. It'd be a good chess match. I think 400 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: stopping the run is going to be one of the 401 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: easier assignments, but it's still something that concerns me because 402 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 1: of the way that the Cowboys defense has given up 403 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: some chunk yardage on a couple of occasions this year. 404 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: If they come out and play like they did against Minnesota, 405 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna feel pretty good. If they come out and 406 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,719 Speaker 1: play it like they did last week against Denver, you're 407 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: gonna feel like maybe you're missing something. Um. And by 408 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: the way, going back to your takeaway point earlier, I 409 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: meant to mention this yesterday, but now I thought we 410 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: had an answer to the Minnesota game and the Cowboys 411 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: defense did not have a takeaway. I was like, Wow, 412 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: this defense can still play when they don't have a takeaway. 413 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: This is awesome. This is gonna be really good moving forward. 414 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: And then the next week it is completely went the 415 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: opposite direction. Didn't have a takeaway, Andy didn't play well. 416 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: So we have two opposite ends of the spectrum. If 417 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: the Cowboys can't even find a middle ground, I feel 418 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: like you're gonna be fine with it. But there's more 419 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: to talk about with that moving forward. When we come back, 420 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: you're on talking Cowboys. Is Matt Ryan still Matt Ryan? 421 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: What can he do that picks apart this Cowboys defense? 422 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: And who needs to step up on the defensive line 423 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: when we return Right after this, Honey, big news, Gary 424 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: are you okay?

Second segment here are talking cowboys here on 463 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: a wonderful Wednesday. Heck Ma Harrison, Isaiah standback, Rob Phillips, 464 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: some Kyle Yeoman's Chris Beam in the back. And I 465 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: posed this question going into the break. Is Matt Ryan 466 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: still Matt Ryan? Can he put up big numbers? Well? 467 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: Over the first four games of the year, the answer 468 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: was probably no. Went one in three averaged under twenty 469 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: points per game. Points per game allowed for the defense 470 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 1: was thirty two points per game, so it's not like 471 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 1: the defense really helped him out a whole lot. But 472 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: over the last four games, however, the Falcons are three 473 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 1: and one. They've averaged over twenty four points per game, 474 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: so seeing an uptick there, and the defense is playing 475 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: much better with five takeaways and averaging just twenty three 476 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: points against. So I ask you the same question, based 477 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: off of the numbers that you heard there, Is Matt 478 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: Ryan still good enough? Is he still elevated his game enough? Heck? 479 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: But to be able to pick a part of defense 480 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: like he did early in his career, Well, he has 481 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: the best nickname in the game, Mattie. I is Mattie 482 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: Ice and he has been. His nickname is so good 483 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: that almost every Matt in the world has probably been 484 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: called Mattie Ice at some point. At some point I 485 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: stole a nickname. Yeah, you called Matt Kent, who does 486 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 1: great work in the studio, Mattie Ice like every day. 487 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: You know. I grew up in the neighborhood where if 488 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: you a nickname, boy, you bet if you got one stick, 489 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: it's stick and it stays with you. And a lot 490 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: of people give you a bad nickname. It's about to say, 491 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: there's probably not some good ones in it's you know 492 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: what it is. It is some good ones, but I'm 493 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: telling they stayed with you, with Maddie. And look, I 494 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: know you're thinking of something right now. I got something too. Yeah, 495 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: he's probably well, yeah, yeah, The thing is, you're right. 496 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: I mean, Matt Matt Ryan is a veteran quarterback that 497 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: you know hasn't lost it. He's not one of those 498 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 1: guys that you know has fell off the deep end. 499 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,959 Speaker 1: He's lost some of his receiver depth, for sure, but 500 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: he's still able to make all the throws. He's still 501 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: competent um and he knows that he can get he 502 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: can get the ball there. I just think that, you know, 503 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: as far as his protection and things like that. Those 504 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: things are breaking down. It doesn't matter, you know, whether 505 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: you're an old quarterback or you see justin fields in Chicago. Man, 506 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 1: you can't maneuver and do a whole lot when you 507 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: don't have time in the pocket. And that's gonna be 508 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: the biggest thing for him because he needs for these 509 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: plays to develop. I think that their their head coach 510 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: definitely tries to put him in a position to be successful. 511 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: They change his launching point in certain games you've seen 512 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: where they're getting pressure on him. But again, I think 513 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys, they cannot come into this game 514 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: being overconfident. The number one thing has to be is 515 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: getting pressure on Matt Ryan and creating those turnovers. How 516 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: do you do that against this offensive line? Is this 517 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: offensive line better than any of the ones you've seen previously? 518 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: On this office line of struggling and matt and Mattie 519 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: Ice turns loot warm whenever he has some pressure he 520 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 1: has whenever he has to move his feet, he literally melts. Yeah, exactly, 521 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: he's the dog on snowman. He's but no, he um, 522 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: He's still delivered the ball. He's still he's still You 523 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: have to respect this man. Don't disrespect him. We learned 524 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: our lesson in that already. Um, as a reason why 525 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: I sit up here and talk about how good players 526 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: are every week. Um, you have to respect this dude. 527 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: And but the way that you can throw him off 528 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: his game is, you know, he has some pressure on him. 529 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 1: And whether that have results in sacks or not, I 530 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: think it's still affects the game just as much. Um. 531 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 1: He doesn't throw the ball well on the move. Um, 532 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: And he has guys that are able to get to 533 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: the middle of the field right now. A lot of 534 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: times you're worried about guys outside the hashes, You're worri 535 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: about guys ouside the numbers in the NFL. UM, he 536 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: has guys that can work the middle now, and that's 537 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: dangerous if you allow for him to set his feet 538 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: back there and be comfortable. Yeah, Gage does that, Zacarius 539 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: does that obviously, Pitts does that. Yeah. I thought against 540 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: the Saints he did a pretty good job of just 541 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 1: buying a little extra time moving up in the pocket, 542 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: climbing the pocket because he because you're right, like, the 543 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: pressure was on him and it's not the strength of 544 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,959 Speaker 1: their their offense right now, even though they have some 545 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: good players Jake Matthews obviously so, but he can he 546 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 1: can buy a little extra time. I think the thing 547 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: you worry about is just he has seen everything in 548 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: the NFL. He's seen every coverage you can throw at him, 549 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: and honestly, when we talked about it goes the other way. 550 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 1: I mean, he's been around Quinn for a long time. 551 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: I think one thing you give quin Quinn credit for, 552 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: and he talked about it Monday, is he's changed a 553 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: lot of his philosophy. He's you know, when he came here, 554 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: we said, oh, he's a cover three defense. He plays 555 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: a lot of different coverages and so lately changed. Yeah, 556 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: and that's that's part of him adapting. After he got 557 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: let go from the Falcons, he said, he went back 558 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: seven years and looked at everything I did Seattle Atlanta 559 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 1: and tried to kind of change that up and add 560 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: more and that'll be important against the guy that he 561 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: coached for six years. Yeah. And he also with two 562 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: seventy six for four touchdowns last last year versus so yeah, yeah, 563 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 1: he's done. If I gave you one guest to say 564 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: where Matt Ryan ranks in terms of completion percentage efficiency 565 00:27:55,359 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: in the NFL since Week three, what would your guests be? Yeah, 566 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: I wouldn't know, wouldn't completion percentage, it's almost seventy right, yeah, yeah, yeah, 567 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: seventy yeah, sixty nine point five completion percentage since Week three. 568 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 1: That's second in the NFL only behind Kyler Murray. So 569 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 1: in that winning streak or the three out of or 570 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 1: three in one streak that I mentioned coming into the segment, 571 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: he's been dealing. So that's pretty good. It's been dealing. Yeah, 572 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: seventy percent completion rate is pretty good, pretty good. But 573 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: the Scott used to have one of those. But you know, 574 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: these guys are not. They don't have a lot of 575 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: explosive plays, and so those all short yardage things that 576 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: he that he's doing. So, I mean, for our worries 577 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: about our defense has been all the big play, you know, 578 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: the big play. Giving up the big play has been 579 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: our Achilles Hill anything. And you just can't allow for 580 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: Atlanta to get certain things going. We talk about them 581 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: not having a true running back. Well, when they turn 582 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: a hand the ball off to Mike Davis and he's 583 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: grinding up some yards, that kind of opens up everything 584 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: on their offense. You want to keep them in the 585 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: bubble that they came in and they're not used to 586 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: getting those big chunk played. But when they do, that's 587 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: when you see that offense actually clicking. Also, I forgot 588 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: about this whenever we're talking about this offense and the 589 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: potential of linebackers having to cover tight ends and having 590 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: to cover Cordorell Patterson, Kyle Pitts and Michael Parsons played 591 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: against each other in high school. They were high school 592 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: rivals in both on the all state team in high 593 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: school in Pennsylvania. So something interesting to think about is 594 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: they're breaking news over there. You know, I'm just looking 595 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: at some of these stats. My god, you know, g 596 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: Mattson's out emails, hut and the last four games, these 597 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: guys that have a seventy five percent winning percentage, they're 598 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: averaging twenty four points a game. You know, we're not 599 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: gonna talk about the defense right now, but they're they're 600 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: scoring more than they than they are allowing right now, 601 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: and these boys are picking it up. So as you 602 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: talk about Matt Ryan and his completion percentage over these 603 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: last you know, three four games, it's it's that's that's why, 604 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: right they're figuring it out. They're figuring out their personnel 605 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: on it's complimentary football too. It's complimentary football for sure. 606 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: I mean, but you know, one of your favorite human 607 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: beings in the world in this past draft was was 608 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitch. There's no secret about that. And in the 609 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: first three or four games, they didn't know how to 610 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: utilize him. They didn't know how to you know, how 611 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: to incorporate him into their offense. Guess what they need? 612 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: They figured it out. Um. So now all of a 613 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: sudden they figured that out, and now they're starting him 614 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: and Matt Ryan are starting to get that symmetry in 615 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: that chemistry, um, and they're starting to result in w's 616 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: for them. So they have they've had some feel good games. 617 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: I mean, and I love you know the schedule that 618 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: they have wins against the Giants, lost to the Washington 619 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: football team, they beat the Jets, they beat the Dolphins. Um, 620 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: they lost against the Panthers. Are you saying it was 621 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: the same thing last week? Same thing last week against Denver? Denvers. 622 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: Denver's wins were against teams that were not good. But 623 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: but if we played, if we have to play a 624 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: Denver every week, I think I hear and that I 625 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: was just addressing your point in terms of the feel 626 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: good wins. Denver, they're feel good wins were all was 627 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: all their win columns as well, So that right there, 628 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't look at that, and more so I would 629 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: more so look at the aspect that these guys are 630 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: starting to figure out how to utilize their personnel, on 631 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: how to incorporate their offense. Patterson is getting He's everywhere now. 632 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,239 Speaker 1: In the first couple of games they were they had 633 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: an idea what they wanted to do with him. Now 634 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: they know exactly how to utilize him. Saints that two 635 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: lost going into last week as well, and Atlanta came 636 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: out and smacked him in the mouth. I mean, they 637 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: got up early and boy did they almost collapse again late. 638 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: But the fact that they got up so big on 639 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: New Orleans was pretty impressive. Yeah, and this and this 640 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: zac is cat. I know he doesn't his stats aren't 641 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: like jumping off the screen. Watch him, please watch him. 642 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: Robinson put us all on notice. Now, So the guy 643 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: that comes in we're not expected now that the fifth guy, Yeah, 644 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: the fifth guy on the fifth guy on the roster, 645 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: we better watch out for. I mean, I agree, I 646 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: mean this guy, these guys do some good things, and 647 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: like you said, the respect level has to be there. 648 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: But when I look at their schedule and some of 649 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: their wins, and even going back to that Saints game, 650 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: they tried to give that game, They really tried to 651 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: give that game up. So this is gonna be an 652 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: interesting match up, right, They haven't being a bunch of 653 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: playoff teams. If you go into New Orleans and win, though, 654 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: I'm in that's the Cowboys, whether they add a starting 655 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: quarterback in there or not, that's I think that's an 656 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: impressive win. Division game, division game for sure. How much 657 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: of this do you think, you guys think is just 658 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,719 Speaker 1: about you just getting back to playing the way they 659 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: play defensively? I mean, dan Quinn kept talking over and 660 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: over about that on Monday. He said, I think just 661 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: remembering what that relentless nature of going and finishing can 662 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: feel like and look like, and what you've seen from 663 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: that defense. We've got to capture that every time you go. 664 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: It's got to be that way. I mean, personnel wise, yeah, 665 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: there's mismatches all that, but they were not physical, they 666 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: were not they missed tackles. I think some of this 667 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: stuff is self scout and just get back to playing 668 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: the way you play and they'll be all right in 669 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: that regard. Although like you said, they're still giving up 670 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: big plays. That's been a common theme every week, whether 671 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: it's run game, mostly in the past game, but they 672 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: gave up too many big I think they had six 673 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: explosive runs for like one hundred and thirty yards Broncos 674 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: did last week. I love that, man, and it's a 675 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: term people using football and sports period. Let's let's get 676 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: back to being us. And I think if we get 677 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,239 Speaker 1: back to being us, you feel better about going in 678 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: and smacking the Falcons around because you felt but you 679 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: had to feel horrible about your effort versus Verst the 680 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: Broncos and the tackles, and you talked about it. You're 681 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: going in, you're trying to strip guys and they're getting 682 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: getting away and getting ten fifteen extra yards. Get the 683 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: guy down. This is the first time I think I've 684 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: seen a game where we made contact and the runner 685 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,959 Speaker 1: kept going. And so this is if this is going 686 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: to be a first time, let it be the last time. 687 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: Gotta make it be the last time. Now, for those 688 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: of you who played the game, both of you at 689 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: the end of the table. When there's a loss like 690 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: that and you turn around, you have to get back 691 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: to being yourself. What's the approach from a practice standpoint? 692 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: What kind of practice are you having because the Cowboys 693 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: are back on the field today, what kind of practice 694 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: are you having to today and tomorrow in order to 695 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: get back to that point? Oklahoma, drill bulling the ring, 696 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: bulling the ring, It's still different. It's just you know, 697 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: you're just more dialed in. You know, you're just asking 698 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: guys to be more dialed in. You recognize that this 699 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: is such a pr so well, I mean, I mean 700 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: it is. I mean, you're you're asking guys to be 701 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: more dialed and watch more film, you know, be more, 702 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: be more intent on executing your assignments. This was not 703 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:23,240 Speaker 1: a physical just beating in terms of us just getting 704 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 1: just thraw like New England did on our first drive. 705 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,320 Speaker 1: That wasn't that was that was just being out physical 706 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 1: because we just couldn't stop them physically. This was out 707 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: physical because guys just didn't show up and you just 708 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 1: meant mentally weren't there. So to your point, heck, if 709 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 1: the guys get back to showing up, get back to 710 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: you know, being approaching the game that proper, the proper 711 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: way and executing then then I think that we're feeling 712 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,919 Speaker 1: pretty dog going good about it. Um. But in terms 713 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,879 Speaker 1: of practice, yeah, it's just dialed in. Hey, get back, 714 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: get back focus. Whatever happened to you last week, get 715 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 1: that mess about your system, get locked back in. We 716 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,919 Speaker 1: did not just face the dog on you know, mon 717 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: stars and they just came in just no loves. You know, 718 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: you just happened now. And you know, being in this 719 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: building man, and having an opportunity to speak with guys 720 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: like Nate Newton that you know and you talked to Nate, 721 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 1: and then being coached by Jimmy Johnson, their whole mentality 722 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: on those teams were completely different. Now with the you know, 723 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: players not hitting through through the week, they were having 724 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 1: live hitting sessions through the week, so when they got 725 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: to the game, there was no such thing as you know, 726 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: guys not putting in the effort, because guys were always 727 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 1: worried about their job under Jimmy and so you know, 728 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: it's just I love having those conversations with guys that 729 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: have done it at a high level, that's been there, 730 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: that understand the look man, right now, these guys and 731 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 1: you even say it all the time. Man, this is cupcake. 732 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: I would love to be a part of this training 733 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 1: regiment of what they're doing during the week and so 734 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: having a letdown game like this and guys knowing that, 735 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: you know, look, they didn't get to this, they didn't 736 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: get to this level by accident. So you know, going 737 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: back to what made them professional athletes gonna be important 738 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: and tackling is just a part of it. Under this schedule, Isa, 739 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,399 Speaker 1: you could have played another eight games. I'm thinking about 740 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 1: stretching right now. Don't move it. You gotta beat Barry 741 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,359 Speaker 1: Church in a race first. You gotta make it happen. 742 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: Chance doesn't have a chance. Drink, get too much of 743 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: that wine, hung and sipping on that man makes his 744 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: own wine. Yeah, I would. I would be sipping on 745 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:27,399 Speaker 1: a tune if I was. If I was, Let's take 746 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: a break when we come back.

Bells, 821 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna be off the chain. Yeah, off the chain, 822 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,959 Speaker 1: no chain, no change, no change, just depended. Hey, who's 823 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 1: that guy that played first place for the Yankees a 824 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 1: long time ago? I can't remember Jason Giabby? No, who 825 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,919 Speaker 1: was it? It was Wally Pitho. Oh okay, that's fair. 826 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 1: If heck wants my job, you can have it. Nobody 827 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:23,760 Speaker 1: won't show job exactly off, can't nobody out Kyle Kyle? Yeah, 828 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 1: nine one one, Yeah, it's all right. Final final couple said, 829 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 1: what did I say that? It will be interesting who 830 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 1: is under the most pressure on the Cowboys defense to 831 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 1: have a better performance on something? What? Who would you say, 832 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,839 Speaker 1: would you say it's a specific player or specific unit, 833 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,279 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, but who has the biggest pressure on them? 834 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 1: Moving into Sunday, Rob, I mean this is a cop out. 835 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 1: I think it's everybody. I don't think any level of 836 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 1: defense went well Sunday. I mean you could point out 837 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,759 Speaker 1: specific guys and say Mike have played well, especially in 838 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 1: the past rush game, Layton had a bunch of tackles, 839 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't think top to bottom it 840 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,239 Speaker 1: went well for for anybody. And I know you put 841 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 1: treyvon Diggs on the on the rundown there, and I 842 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,399 Speaker 1: think he's an interesting guy to talk about because he's 843 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 1: got all these interceptions, but he's got some penalties lately, 844 00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 1: and he's given up some plays. And you know, either 845 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,600 Speaker 1: Quinn or Mike McCarthy said he's probably playing I think 846 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: Mike said he's playing a little too aggressive right now. 847 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 1: So how do you how does he strike that balance 848 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: because that's what makes him good as a cover guy, 849 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:37,880 Speaker 1: But how do you not give up as much as 850 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,239 Speaker 1: he's been given up lately as well? Yeah, I think 851 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 1: Curse has to have a big game. I think Kurs 852 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 1: and Parsons and obviously depends on what coach Quinn does 853 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 1: in terms of personnel matchups. But Curse is going to 854 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 1: have his handsful obviously with Pitts, and I think Parsons 855 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 1: will be the guy that's kind of touted to be 856 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 1: follow around Patterson anywhere he goes. That's what I would do. 857 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 1: Do you think Curse and his ability to cover Jared 858 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 1: Cook back in week two and kind of having that 859 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,479 Speaker 1: even remotely translates to what Kyle Pitts can do, because 860 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,840 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of big athletic tight ends and Kyle Pitts 861 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: is a different animal than Jared Cook. But Jared Cook's 862 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:14,840 Speaker 1: right up there, at least in terms of the guys 863 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 1: he's faired. Cook was tripping over himself this, I mean, jok, 864 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 1: I don't have it. If not watch the film to film. 865 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: I mean, he's an older he's players. I don't Jared 866 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: Cook is not a route run? Did he do against 867 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: Jered Cook's not a route runner? Happened? I don't have 868 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 1: any people who are stronger than me. You can have Itsten, 869 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,880 Speaker 1: I did everything I needed to do. What was the 870 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:46,400 Speaker 1: comparison you made? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, he's Jered He's I 871 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 1: mean you go back to jail. I think Jayle Smith 872 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 1: was trying to cover him right and some other stuff that. Anyways, 873 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,920 Speaker 1: he's not a route runner. Um, Kyle Pitts is a 874 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: route runner. I mean you think about the tight ends 875 00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 1: that we faced this year. Yeah, Gronkowski Week one, he ate, 876 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:02,319 Speaker 1: he ate a whole plate Thanksgiving, came back for seconds. Actually, uh, 877 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 1: who else do we face? That was a beast of 878 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,800 Speaker 1: a tight end? Cronk I'm saying aside from Gronk, m m, 879 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 1: not really. Yeah, we haven't faced one, so I'm saying 880 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,239 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. Curses the next challenging guy from 881 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,719 Speaker 1: the Giants. But he's he's kind of office his thing. 882 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:22,319 Speaker 1: But you know what I think. I agree with you. Patriots, Yes, 883 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 1: the Patriots and Patriots. Yes, those guys are talking. Yeah, 884 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 1: those guys are guys really good. So yeah, that's that's 885 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 1: the next next group that I would say put in 886 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 1: that in that category. And those guys are kind of 887 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,840 Speaker 1: a dual threat. This is the guy for them. But 888 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:34,400 Speaker 1: I agree with both of you. I just want to 889 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 1: say I agree with both of you into that regard 890 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,960 Speaker 1: and not taking the easy way out that everybody has 891 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 1: to play better on defense. But You're right about curse 892 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,680 Speaker 1: and Curses leading the team right now and tackles. Fact 893 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 1: checked me on that Chris being, But I believe he is, 894 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 1: And if he finishes the season leading this team and tackle, 895 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 1: be the first time that a free safety or safety 896 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,880 Speaker 1: has led the team and tackle since b from Ohio Wow, 897 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 1: who had one hundred and ten tackles. So, I mean, 898 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,080 Speaker 1: he's he's a guy that's an integral part of what 899 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 1: we do. But you're right, man, he has his hands 900 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:08,400 Speaker 1: full on defense, especially versus Kyle Pitts. But I believe 901 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,840 Speaker 1: this Randy Gregory, Randy Gregory has to get that motor 902 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,280 Speaker 1: going bash him. Our edge guys have got to continue 903 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 1: to put pressure on Matt Ryan because, like you said, 904 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,799 Speaker 1: the offensive line is compromised and we know that Matt 905 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 1: Ryan will give you opportunities. And in the run game too, 906 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 1: edge containment was a problem. Uh. You know, they they 907 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 1: bounced a lot of stuff outside. You know they got 908 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 1: beat in the middle, interior two in the run game too. 909 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 1: So I'd say just that front four, five, whatever you 910 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 1: want to call it. For sure, I wonder, I mean, 911 00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 1: is this a matchup for digs though against against Kyle Pitts, 912 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,440 Speaker 1: do you think that's they need to I'm just watching 913 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:46,960 Speaker 1: it back. I mean Xavian Howard was covering, so I 914 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:51,279 Speaker 1: don't know. Kyle Pitts also had to. Yeah that will Yeah. 915 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,839 Speaker 1: Yle pits had nine nine, it was seven for one 916 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,680 Speaker 1: sixty three and then there are some passing inferences there too. Yeah. 917 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,879 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons now leads the team in tackles. That's why. 918 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,319 Speaker 1: That's why I said you will fact you know what's coming. 919 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:09,440 Speaker 1: So curses right there, that's buy one tackles coming up. 920 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 1: I'll be on my right home. Who were wrong? Ye? 921 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:18,719 Speaker 1: Get a coffin, Chris, Yeah, yesssed up. Well that's it 922 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,320 Speaker 1: for us here on talking cowboys.
