I mean, who knows 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.120 who knows in the thick of it. 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.320 Yeah, time is flying, man, Bye week is next week. 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:29.040 Man. 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:33.120 That is wild seven so seven verses eight, it's still 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:34.280 mid season four. 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:38.480 Les, I mean after this we are a third of away. 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:40.200 Yeah, third. 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:43.280 That and the third man. 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:48.560 It's making its way maybes, but we've got QB vision 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:50.560 today is I say, it's going to break down what 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.960 we see on the Lions defensive side of things, and 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:55.120 if there's any. 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:59.400 Sort of susceptible opportunity a little bit of a Florida 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:01.840 uh well, a little bit of lights. 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:06.560 Going out first, but second now, yeah, that's speaking of 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:08.919 for all those that are down in Florida. 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.520 I hope he stayed safe for tonight. It looked rough. 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.360 It really did look rough, But I'm glad that it 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:13.880 eased up. 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:15.920 Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like, no disrespect to 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:17.880 you know, people who are you know, faced hard times 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.160 in regards to this storm and people who have lost ones, 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.359 but it could have been substantially worse. Right, I think 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.040 it eased up to a to a three or two 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.440 got grated last night. Yeah that's good man, because I 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:30.359 was when it was at that five. I'm like, that's 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.400 that's catastrophic. Yeah, it's I mean, it's a beast situation 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:38.080 oi the way, because with with the hurricane comes the flooding, 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:39.240 which does the most damage. 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.799 And then I saw fifteen feet of storm feet of 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:42.400 storm surgeon. 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.160 I saw a couple of people, a couple of my 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:48.400 followers send me some video of like multiple tornadoes like that, 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:52.160 twisters and things like that, like touching down simultaneously. So 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.800 I mean, obviously some some catastrophic catastrophic damage has still 0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:00.800 been occurring in Florida. But Isaiah's point, thankful, it wasn't 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:05.320 the category five that made landfall that everyone was afraid of. 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:10.359 So hopefully everyone's staying safe and hopefully everyone is okay. 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.640 And just know you're in our thoughts and pray, you know, 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:15.960 and we're thinking about you here. And we had two 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:17.760 of our three callers on talking Tuesday. 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:19.440 We're from Florida and from in the. 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.520 Middle of the path of the storm listening to the 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.000 podcast while they're dealing with. 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.799 You guys, see that, Lieutenant, I say, go check on Lieutenant. Dan. 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.000 Dude was like in a little like a little single 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:32.359 person boat. This boat twenty Yeah, it's twenty foot boat. 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:33.080 Bro. This dude's in there. 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.920 He's like, I'm writing it out and like he did 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:37.560 like a whole Did you see the stream that he did. 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:40.800 He did a stream with live stream, did a live 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:44.920 stream from the boat with some popular you know streamer. Yeah, 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.440 and they're like gifting him like one hundred thousand dollars 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:49.080 boat because he made it through. 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.520 Wow, that's cool, he said. 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.640 He said he wanted to keep the boat because that's 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.320 the only thing he had. He's been living on the 0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.560 street and finally got this boat and he's always been 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.400 living on his boat, and that's the only thing you had. 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.280 So he's gonna, wow, take it out. 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.200 This is the mayor went out there, told him to hey, man, 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.600 we got we got shelter for you, and he's like, no, man, 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:10.320 I'm staying with. 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.720 My boat life stories. 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:14.240 Gosh, crazy stuff. 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.280 Let's get back to check it out. 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.560 I had an opportunity to do so. And thoughts and 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.559 prayers to all those out in Florida. All Right, news 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.880 and notes, yesterday we had a very interesting injury. 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:27.320 We did you want the bad news or the good 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.760 news versus give me the bad knock it out? 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:30.680 Take the bad news. 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.160 Bad news is as the cowboys are dealing with issues 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:36.400 with their defensive line depth, specifically defensive end. They might 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.000 be dealing with some issues with the linebacker depth as 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.560 well this week. Eric Kendricks did not participate in Wednesday's practice. 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:46.760 He's two separate injuries a calf and a shoulder going 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:48.680 into this matchup against the Lions, and. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.640 Those aren't connected, right like the side of things. 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:57.760 Connected to the is it opposing? Good question? 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:00.680 Good question doesn't specify, But I'm going to ask that 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:05.080 today because I want to know that's that Tilton, all right? 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.000 So Eric Kendricks, that is absolutely something to keep an 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.800 eye on. And Nick Vigil, which is the backup green 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.640 dot for Eric Kendricks, he also did not participate yesterday. 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.640 He's dealing with a foot injury. And yesterday was a 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:20.600 limited practice overall because the Cowboys got in later than 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:24.680 usual because of the rain delay in Pittsburgh. Today, being Thursday, 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.160 is going to be a full blown heavy shell practice 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.520 two hours, so we'll see what the report looks like 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.440 after that. Marquise Bell he did not participate, but it 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:35.360 was with an illness, so presumably he'll be fined as 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.760 long as the illness passes in time. We've seen those 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.039 can kind of drag out as well, but for the 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:44.120 most part, everyone else participated like they should have. Kaitlyn 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.240 Carson was a full participant with that shoulder injury for 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.359 the first time since suffering that shoulder injury against the Ravens, 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:56.600 So that's good news. And Doran Bland what everybody's waiting on. 0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:03.279 Doran Bland was a full participant. Interesting, and yesterday's practice 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.440 his twenty one day practice window has been activated. They 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.280 have until October thirtieth to make a decision on him, 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:13.280 but at this rate it'll be way before then when he. 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.839 Gets back on the field. Talk to Jordan Lewis yesterday 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:16.800 in the locker room. 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.320 Didn't get a chance to talk to Doroan He he 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.599 was going to do something before we had a chance 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:25.600 to get in there. But Jordan Lewis basically just could 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:29.120 not be more excited for the possibility of maybe as 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:33.240 early as this weekend, getting Jordan Lewis, Trayvon Diggs and 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.160 Deron Bland on the field at the same time. 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:37.960 Dag you what we're gonna need him. 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:42.760 Yeah, So Doron Bland is trending rapidly. It's good toward 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:43.360 his return. 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.839 It's interesting you gave. 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.920 That hypothetical yesterday, how would it make you feel if 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.240 he was a full participant. You just kind of threw 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:52.599 it out there, and sure enough. 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:53.120 That's what happened. 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.200 And honestly, that was just hypothetical. 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.520 I genuinely was like, Okay, if that twenty one day 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.839 practice was opens starting tomorrow and it's he goes for 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.719 the full practice, what do we think? Uh to me 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:10.280 that it indicates obviously trended stores you're gonna see him 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.920 on the field on Sunday, which was very exciting. 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:17.280 Joe and Lewis said that he being Deron Bland, almost 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:18.920 had an interception in his first team for. 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:28.560 The first time, like Luda in Old one. I like that. 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.680 Now my question to you, you talked about it being 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:36.080 a limited practice, right, a limited sense of practicing. Does 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.440 that change today as they go into a further ramp up. 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.920 If that's the case, do you expect a limited tag 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.120 on a lot of these guys that were full participants 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.720 because it was limited, Like, hey, let's put you out there, 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.720 We're not doing a whole lot, We're going to categorize 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:50.320 you as full. 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.080 So if there's a step back. 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.920 Today from guys like Bland and guys like Diggs and 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:55.840 guys like Carson. 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:57.679 Is that something to worry about? 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.280 I that's an excellent point. 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.720 I wouldn't expe fact that a guy like Trayvon Diggs 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:03.679 would be downgraded from full limited. 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.000 I could see Carson. 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.080 Yeah, I could see a guy like Kayln Carson being 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:12.680 downgraded to limited because of the added workload from Wednesday's 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.960 practice to a full blown Thursday's practice. And then speaking 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:18.720 with Kayln yesterday, he said in the locker room, he said, 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.880 he is feeling better, but he's working to get his 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.480 full range of motion back. So to that point, there 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.160 is a likelihood that Kayln Carson will be limited today. 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.600 But don't view that as a setback for all intents 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.640 and purposes. Just view it as a ramping up with 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.880 the workload versus if he's staying on this same even 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:38.240 keel as yesterday. Technically contextually, like Kyle is saying, it 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.680 makes him limited today whereas it made him full yesterday. 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:42.960 Do you think they're considering the optics of that though? 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.240 If they do end up being limited at the end 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:49.640 of the day today, are they thinking we're outwardsly looking 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:53.600 in If they're limited and they were full yesterday, does 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:54.480 that mean like, Okay, they. 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:55.160 Brought it back too soon? 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:55.680 What do we doing? 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:57.679 Like, do you think they consider the optics or are 0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.320 they just dealing with it as. 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:00.200 They care about it up? 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.800 If anything, they may use the optics to their advantationship 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.559 because Detroit gets the same injury report that we do, 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:09.120 and you get the same injury report that that the 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:12.160 Lions send out. So if you're the Lions, you're looking like, wow, 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.360 Doron blaying back full participant up. Never mind he was limited. 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.880 Maybe they were just doing some small stuff. So if anything, yeah, 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.680 I think the competitiveship gives an opportunity there and interesting 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:23.160 we'll see. 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.320 Yeah, but I can promise you that the medical staff 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.160 doesn't care about optics. They care if the player is 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.720 cleared ready or transitioning. Yeah, and then work with the 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:33.319 coaching staff and what are their reps. 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:34.720 That's how it goes. 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.960 How big of a win is that for the defense 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.480 if Deron Bland is back out there, even for limited 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:44.280 snaps we talked about fifteen snaps, twenty snaps. 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.640 However, it may be going into the weekends huge. 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:47.160 I mean, you have your starting lineup out there in 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:48.280 terms of your defensive backs. 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:49.520 That's which never happens. 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.880 It hasn't happened here much at all. Actually, we've been 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:56.120 waiting on blanding digs that play together and when those 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.000 guys are not together and Jay Lou is down and 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.240 Jay Lou's down, those me so you know, we need 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.880 to trifecta. So we're finally gonna get the trifecta. But 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:08.679 you still won't have the full the full gravity of 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.760 what this defense capable of because the pressures probably won't 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.240 be there to help those guys in their coverage. 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:16.600 Of course, there's how many pick sixes can we get 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:17.400 on fifteen snaps? 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:18.760 You know what I mean? Yeah, you know I mean 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:20.280 fifteen fifteen. 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:22.200 Let's go for that. 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.760 This it sounds like a good idea now you brought 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.000 up the point there. They've always had Michael Parsons in 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.320 front of him as a trio. Anyways, in the small 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.160 snaps or even limited snaps that they've had together, they've 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:34.600 always had Michael Parsons or. 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:36.680 DeMarcus Lawrence in front of them. They do not have 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:37.320 those guys. 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.080 Nope, going into the week and there's no update on 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:41.160 Micah right like he's. 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.160 He didn't present. You're still missing your top four d 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.560 he's not looking good for the top four. 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:48.839 Marshawn six. 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.240 If we go back to last those two previous guys yeah, 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:52.960 and then the two guys from last year. 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:57.000 Too well, then the six rough Yeah that's right. Yeah, 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:58.120 so now you. 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:01.760 Have significantly do you think that that, Yes, they won't 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:03.880 play as well as a unit and it may not 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:05.680 look as clean from their standpoint. 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.360 Quarterback has more time, receivers have more time to get open. 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.360 It will have a negative impact, most likely on your 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.000 defensive backs ability to cover. 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:14.880 So what should the expectation. 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:18.960 Be for them to get their feet underneath them? I mean, 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.760 Jay Lou's playing well. Diggs has been pretty quiet. I 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.200 haven't paid much attention to Diggs, and obviously we usually 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:26.840 talk about him in regards to clamp down corner. I 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:28.480 need to go back and watch more film on him 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:29.600 to see exactly how he's doing. 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.720 But he's has been throwing away from Diggs. 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.760 They run at him, They run at him. 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:41.080 For a bit of a ride on that one tackle 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:42.160 against the Steelers. 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.679 He's been playing so yeah, I mean, so Diggs, Diggs 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:46.720 and jaylu are doing their things. So now you just 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:48.120 want to get you want to get bland and you 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.800 know what Bland is capable of. But you know, let's 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.679 let's have some some low expectations for somebody coming off 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.400 of a foot injury, right Like, let's get him, let's 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:56.800 get him in there, let's see what he looks like, 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.880 and hopefully he's what we remember him being. And if 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.040 that's the case, and you have a solid three out 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.360 there that can play against the solid core of receivers 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:06.720 that you're about to face, and then you need your 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:07.920 safety to be able to obviously help. 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:09.880 Over the top, and hopefully that leads to coverage sacks, 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:11.000 coverage pressure, right. 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.360 Yes, absolutely, yes, So from that standpoint, yes, you not 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.120 what we're what we're referring to. Okay, for those that 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.439 are listening, Okay, these I'm not saying that their defensive 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.280 backs can't cover, correct, I'm saying that our defensive backs 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:25.319 are more effective with their coverage ability when they have pressure. 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.240 That's that's any defensive that's any dbs. 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:28.400 Right. 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.640 It's the reason why the Seattle, the Seattle Legion of Boom. 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:33.600 Yeah, the Legion of Boom and the Seahawks were so 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.200 good back in the day because they have pressure. 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.280 Jets are good right now in their defense, right. 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:39.840 So I mean it goes hand in hand. 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:43.000 So it doesn't mean because you don't have those guys 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.319 listening to pressure up front, that you no longer have 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.640 the ability to cover. It just means that the quarterback 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:51.120 has more time, right, So you have to cover longer, right. 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.000 And if you have to cover longer, then obviously you 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:54.840 have a greater chance of getting tired and they have 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.040 more chance to get open. It's like an extended play, right, 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:03.360 So it has a negative negative correlation in that regard. 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.120 But these guys can still cover. So I'm looking forward 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.360 to seeing those three together because this receivering core is solid. 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.080 I mean, you know, we talked about it yesterday. We 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.439 talked about Jamison Williams, Jameson Williams, we talked about maras 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.800 A Brown. You know, they got some dudes, right, So, 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.960 Tim Patrick, that's a solid three receivers. You need solid 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.000 three defensive backs, and then you need some safeties that 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:23.480 can come down there and take care of those tight ends. 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.040 And we have that. So it's gonna be it's gonna 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:27.559 be fun to see that unit looking forward, seeing what 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.240 happens at the linebacker side of thing. Damon Clark, he's 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:32.200 he's obviously just been a special teams player up to 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.320 this part of the year. I'm looking forward to him 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.920 possibly have an opportunity to get in there proove this week. Yeah, 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:38.840 I mean so, I mean you talk about somebody who's 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:40.439 had their opportunity, who thought they were going to be 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.000 a more intricate part of this this defense, and that 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.280 pretty that rug pool kind of happened to them when 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.960 these new these new faces showed up in the locker room. 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.520 Injuries usually provide opportunities. So if Kendricks is unable to go, 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:53.440 you're gonna see a lot of eighteen in there. And 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:57.080 I'm pretty sure when you have that one opportunity, you 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:57.880 don't want to miss it. 0:13:58.400 --> 0:13:59.680 So you got one shot. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:04.080 One thing that we've we've been seeing with the Cowboys. 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:06.040 It's one thing we've been seeing with the Cowboys is 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.679 that guys are taking advantage of the opportunities that they 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.080 otherwise may not have without injury. I mean, look at 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.360 what Jalen Tobert did, look at what Chauncey Ghost and 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.839 Tyrs Weed, Carl Lost and TJ Bess last week. 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:18.680 Limited opportunities like really. 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:24.680 Take huge Absolutely, he's he I mean that needs to 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:26.840 be talked about more. I can't pronounce his name. 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:40.400 O Yo, understand, give respect. 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.360 We we've really done it a few times this week 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:44.280 in terms of the front office, right and Will McLay 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.600 and the whole scouting department. The job they do of 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:48.640 going and getting guys. When they pulled him on the roster, 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:50.200 nobody knew who the heck you was. Let's call it 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.720 what it is, respect. I didn't know what. I didn't 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:54.200 know his body at work, I didn't I don't know 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.920 him right, So why we had to work to pronounce it? Yeah, 0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:00.480 and I'm still right. But but what I'm gonna say 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:02.720 thenate Newton Nutch approject. I'm just gonna give initials. But 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.240 the fact that he showed up, you know, booth booth 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.400 is still to me right now. But Ao showed up 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:13.040 in a major way. And having a contributor like that 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:16.640 that you know can come in when called upon, when 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:18.520 they didn't have a body of work within your even 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.200 your training camp. They want a training camp. They' when 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:21.600 the ots and then that stuff, and they show up 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.600 and started making plays for you. When your depth chart 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.280 is down. Now you look at it, you have four 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.560 guys the team want to go, four wives, and so 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.480 we got a fourth guy that we trust, you know, 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:32.680 so like and that was somebody that that's an You 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.040 ever had a contribution that you just didn't expect, you 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.440 know what I mean, Like something added to your budget. 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.480 Like, oh dude, I had one recently. Yeah, the same 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:41.360 thing tax return there. 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:45.680 I like was expecting like taxes, like like paying taxes. 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.320 I was like, so not looking forward. But it's a 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:51.200 huge game changer. The amount of diapers in formula. I'm 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:54.040 buying all now. It's like, so you did that, you. 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:57.120 Got the extra checking this like I was. I was 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:01.280 planning to be okay without it. But since I have, yeah, 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:03.240 all welcome. 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:05.480 In your pocket, you know what I mean. 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.160 But look what that does for the defense though. 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:10.160 For the defense, I mean you go out there and 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.400 dye in personnel now and feel confident no matter. 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.680 Who linees up out there, bring your best ward receivers. 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.120 I don't care. We're solid. Instead of being like, okay, 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.240 I'm feel good about our three. This fourth one, we 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:20.600 got to protect him a little bit. Maybe we got 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:21.960 to play a little bit safer. You don't have to 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:23.720 do that now because you're confident, right, I'm not saying 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:24.040 that he's a. 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.240 World playing with house money and house money. 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:27.680 Absolutely, that's a good analogy. 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:30.320 Not that we're gambling people on talking. 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:35.000 Unless you guys want to embrace me or something that's 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:36.960 probably not good in my advantage right now, this hamstring. 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.000 The only thing you can win at is a ball game, 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:39.880 the football throwing. 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:44.160 Yeah, we've already established this. Now I want to take firstran. 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:50.960 Yeah, that's the second part of it. Isaiah posted the 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.520 video of what we talked about yesterday of him cheating 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.600 at these football games at the fair and he left 0:16:56.880 --> 0:17:00.440 the guy hanging like Tom Brady on this island. 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:02.920 Baby, just go to my IG because I'm really not 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.000 on X too much.

Isaiah, 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.880 and I want you to outline how the Cowboys can 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:40.080 dice apart the Detroit defense in some. 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:50.400 M wait for m why. 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:57.199 It's time for QB vision with Isaiah's standback. 0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:04.840 It's good forms though.

We're good, good man, let's talk about it. 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:14.080 I'm gonna talk about the cowboys. 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:15.800 Still look like you at the fair, just. 0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:20.480 Shaking hands after the high probability of that happening, because 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:22.520 these guys are not very good. 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:26.879 WHA sorry, call it. 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:29.399 Like you sees them. 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:31.600 There we go. I'm sorry. I mean, I'm just calling 0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:32.200 how I see it. 0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:38.600 Yeah, I'm unimpressed by this, my ex teammate, you know, 0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:42.120 I'm saying there in Gland's lead defense. 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:42.040 A G. 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:43.960 Yeah, a G. You're a great dude. 0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:47.520 I'm not sure what's going on with their defense right now. 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:51.399 But again to the point of their defensive backs to 0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:53.880 start back there, unimpressed there. 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.720 These guys their physical they're they're feisty. 0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:02.119 They embody the personality not only of AG but they 0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:05.760 embodied Dan Campbell obviously, so they're they're fighters, right, They're scrappy, 0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:08.959 they're gonna get up in your face a little bit. 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:12.560 But they're gonna hold and they're gonna be talking, and 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:16.680 they're gonna be undisciplined, and they're gonna want to be heroes. 0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:18.959 We talk about playing hero ball. They do that often 0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:21.760 if they have a responsibility at they're a zone that 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:24.960 they're responsible for, they say, screw that right, I'm in 0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:27.399 the middle of an argument with this dude. We're beefing, 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:30.399 so I'm locking him up wherever he goes. And by 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:33.439 doing that, playing that hero ball, playing selfish ball, they 0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:36.320 leave their teammates out to dry. So there are a 0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:42.760 lot of opportunities within their defensive scheme. They mix up 0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:47.240 their coverages. They're not a primary one or primary two. 0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:49.560 I mean stats might say differently, but as I watched 0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:53.240 the film, is really based upon what personnel you're coming 0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:55.399 out in. So for like Dallas, Dallas likes to be 0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:58.000 an eleven personnel. They want to be single high. They 0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:00.199 want to be single high. These guys run the cover three. 0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:04.159 They'll run man in their man coverage. Their communication is 0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:06.800 trash like pepulate pew. If you guys want to go 0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:08.880 back and look at the Seattle game, Seattle ran. 0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:09.240 A lot of. 0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:15.680 Seattle ran a lot of crossing routes because of because 0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:17.119 of the fact that Detroit was trying to play man 0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:19.520 to man defense on them. Seattle obviously has a plethora 0:23:19.520 --> 0:23:21.920 of receivers, so they were pretty much like catch me 0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:25.119 if you can type of deal. They they want to 0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:28.320 play aggressive, their defensive backs want to undercut. They want 0:23:28.359 --> 0:23:30.760 to go out there and get the interception. So being 0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:34.399 that that's the case, double moves are right there for 0:23:34.520 --> 0:23:37.080 the taking. You can get these guys on slug gos, 0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:41.399 hitching goals, over and ups, you know, post corners, you 0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:43.280 can get them on anything that's gonna get these guys 0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:46.159 going in one direction, no, no dance moves and then 0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:47.359 take it to the corner. 0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:49.120 Wow, take it to the brig. 0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:54.480 So yeah, so their dbs can be exposed, their secondary 0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:58.000 can definitely be exposed. The seams, especially when these guys 0:23:58.040 --> 0:23:58.480 are playing. 0:23:58.720 --> 0:23:59.800 Is that good the seam throw? 0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:02.159 That's very good at the seams. So there's gonna be 0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:03.480 a lot of opportunities for splash. 0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:06.080 Does he have a wide receiver or a tight end maybe? 0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:09.240 Yeah, running down he always throws a perfect seam to 0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:11.040 and you know, and CD. 0:24:11.200 --> 0:24:12.720 I think this is a game where CD can really 0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:15.399 go off in the in the slot right, So I'm 0:24:15.440 --> 0:24:17.840 talking about lining up CD LAMB and a short split, 0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:21.680 meaning are around the numbers, maybe motioning out a duce 0:24:21.760 --> 0:24:24.240 vawn if he can be active, or we go now 0:24:24.280 --> 0:24:25.840 that he's shown the ability to catch the ball down 0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:27.640 the field. If you can motion these guys out, there's 0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:30.960 some some alignments, some coverage. 0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:33.240 Deck just real quick off of that. Does it worry 0:24:33.280 --> 0:24:36.080 you the fact that Duce Vaughan was not active, it 0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:38.560 does work. I don't like it, Yeah, I don't like it. 0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:40.760 Now they were able to be effective on the ground 0:24:40.760 --> 0:24:42.520 a lot of that because of Rico doubtle and what 0:24:42.640 --> 0:24:43.320 he was able. 0:24:43.280 --> 0:24:44.800 For sure, and Rico proved that he can catch the 0:24:44.880 --> 0:24:48.560 ball right. Yeah, I like I like. I like Douce though. 0:24:48.760 --> 0:24:50.840 I like what it provides in terms of a change 0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:52.720 of pace. So I would like to see him be 0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:55.560 utilized more because I think he gives this offense more versatility. 0:24:56.760 --> 0:24:58.000 I think this is a game where he can be 0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:00.439 highlighted because I think he could create to match up 0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:02.960 Nightmare for their overly aggressive linebackers if they do want 0:25:03.000 --> 0:25:06.600 to match up in their second level. Linebackers are very aggressive, 0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:08.920 very fast. They want to come hit you in the mouth. 0:25:10.160 --> 0:25:12.000 This is a physical team, no, no doubt about it. 0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:16.439 Forty six Jack Campbell, Solid, Alex Azolon. I like him 0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:19.199 a lot. He's number thirty four. He is a wild man. 0:25:19.200 --> 0:25:20.720 He's the dude with the hair hanging out his helmet. 0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:22.439 You've always liked him. 0:25:22.440 --> 0:25:23.199 I've always liked him. 0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:24.800 He's a very Campbell esque. 0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:27.480 I like him, like he reminds me. 0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:29.520 Of like the Van Ginko Kat who now plays for Minnesota. 0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:31.680 I like those guys remind me of each other. Just 0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:34.879 you know, balls of the wall, just NonStop. They're not 0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:38.160 going to stop. They're relentless in their pursuit. Yeah, high 0:25:38.200 --> 0:25:41.240 motor guys, right, they don't turn it off. So that's 0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:43.960 how their whole defense plays. But their secondary is just 0:25:44.080 --> 0:25:46.640 not disciplined. So take advantage of that. CD can go off. 0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:48.439 Like I said, get him in the slot to take 0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:50.960 advantage of those seams and Cover two and in Cover three, 0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:56.920 they're underneath coverage guys. They stay played deep, so they'll 0:25:57.080 --> 0:25:59.199 give more than they're supposed to. So imagine if you're 0:25:59.240 --> 0:26:01.000 playing it. If you're a linebacker and you're supposed to 0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:03.080 be playing anywhere from five to seven yards depth, these 0:26:03.119 --> 0:26:05.520 guys will sink about thirteen to fourteen. 0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:08.720 Yards deep to try to get underneath your deeper receivers. 0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:09.639 Well what does that allow for. 0:26:09.840 --> 0:26:13.280 Well, if you're if you're strategic enough and you're disciplined enough, 0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:15.280 you'll take the easy pass underneath. 0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:16.320 And let your guys go get some yards up the 0:26:16.440 --> 0:26:16.920 catch y. 0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:20.560 Yeah, so you they want to protect because I think 0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:23.200 they know that these guys are undisciplined, so they ask 0:26:23.240 --> 0:26:25.040 their underneath guys to say, hey, go back there and 0:26:25.119 --> 0:26:27.239 help these guys out a little bit because these are 0:26:27.320 --> 0:26:30.040 these they're there wild men. But it opens things up 0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:31.320 for your running back to be able to catch about 0:26:31.320 --> 0:26:32.840 the backfield. So that's what I'm talking about, dous and 0:26:32.920 --> 0:26:35.880 things of that nature. Low dunk downs. You know, Jake 0:26:36.080 --> 0:26:38.440 can get some things underneath five seven yards easy high 0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:40.800 precision passes and then use your yard us, your legs, 0:26:40.840 --> 0:26:41.680 and your abilities to get. 0:26:41.600 --> 0:26:42.320 Some extra yardage. 0:26:42.960 --> 0:26:45.159 So that's the first that's the third level. Obviously, the 0:26:45.240 --> 0:26:47.199 DB's the linebackers. I said, they're running hit. 0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:49.359 They will run a hit the extra point on your 0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:52.600 defensive backs here too. They're without Melifan Wu, who was 0:26:52.960 --> 0:26:54.920 one of the better safeties in football over the last 0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:57.560 couple of years. Then you've got Brian Branch who's kind 0:26:57.560 --> 0:26:59.920 of that two way guy who can play safety and corner. 0:27:00.280 --> 0:27:02.480 He was inactive last week. He's on the injury reporting 0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:02.920 in this week. 0:27:03.000 --> 0:27:05.080 So something to keep an eye out in terms of 0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:07.760 their depth at the safety spot because now they're rolling 0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:10.520 out Carlton Davis on the outside and Terry on Arnold 0:27:10.600 --> 0:27:13.240 both are decent players in the right but like you said, 0:27:13.240 --> 0:27:15.399 the communication just communications. 0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:18.080 Trash, and like I said, they play immature, and Terry 0:27:18.119 --> 0:27:20.679 and Arnold especially, he plays immature. He talks a lot, 0:27:20.880 --> 0:27:22.920 grabs a lot, a lot of penalties. I mean he 0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:26.240 probably had five pis on DK rookie. Yeah, he's four 0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:27.680 games in first round pick though. 0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:32.360 Yeah, well he's learning and so it's hard for him enough. 0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:35.800 But the thing is, oddly enough, as big as there's 0:27:35.800 --> 0:27:37.080 a lot of players that have been left on the 0:27:37.119 --> 0:27:40.080 table against them, the people just had not connected. And 0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:41.960 I think because those guys are so fisty, the ball 0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:43.960 kind of has to be on the money, which Deck 0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:45.639 has been very accurate this year. So there's so many 0:27:45.720 --> 0:27:49.240 opportunities for those one on one matchups there, but they 0:27:49.320 --> 0:27:51.840 buckle down. They've only given up four passing touchdowns. Yeah, 0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:54.119 So as much as I'm saying that you can get 0:27:54.160 --> 0:27:56.080 splash plays against them, you still got to score because 0:27:56.080 --> 0:27:58.439 they've only given up four touchdowns. They have four interceptions 0:27:59.320 --> 0:28:02.160 because they just taking their rolling the dice on their guys. 0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:05.239 So how important is it because Kenneth Walker torched them? 0:28:05.320 --> 0:28:06.760 Yes he did in Detroit. 0:28:06.880 --> 0:28:09.000 Yes he did, even though you had Jerry Goff in 0:28:09.080 --> 0:28:11.719 the offense dicing it up and going eighteen for eighteen 0:28:12.200 --> 0:28:13.960 on that side of things. The way that Kenneth Walker 0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:17.040 was able to have success and it wasn't the passing 0:28:17.119 --> 0:28:20.320 game from Gino Smith and the Seahawks, how important is 0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:22.719 this game for Riko more important than what he had 0:28:22.720 --> 0:28:24.560 to do in Pittsburgh or less. 0:28:24.800 --> 0:28:26.600 I think it's about the same thing. It's about the 0:28:26.640 --> 0:28:28.679 same I think in terms of running the ball. If 0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:30.360 you can have an effective running game against these guys, 0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:33.320 their d line is not world beaters. They don't get 0:28:33.359 --> 0:28:35.080 home in terms of passing, so you don't have to 0:28:35.119 --> 0:28:37.359 worry about Dak necessarily being under pressure, even though we 0:28:37.440 --> 0:28:40.400 talked about Dak throwing the ball better under pressure. Substantially, 0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:43.000 they're one of the worst in the league in terms 0:28:43.000 --> 0:28:45.240 of pressures. But they have the leading sacker in the 0:28:45.320 --> 0:28:48.719 game and Aiden Hutchinson, and that most of that came 0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:51.080 from one game where he had four sacks. He has 0:28:51.080 --> 0:28:53.080 six and a half on the season right now. But 0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:55.880 he's not doing it necessarily great right now either, So 0:28:55.960 --> 0:28:57.880 I'm not concerned about the pressure. But I think this 0:28:58.080 --> 0:29:00.240 is a team as much as we talk about their 0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:02.760 their attitude and their grit, I think. 0:29:02.600 --> 0:29:04.600 You can run the ball against them. I truly think 0:29:04.600 --> 0:29:05.960 you can run a ball against these guys. 0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:08.560 You just have to be determined enough to take it 0:29:08.640 --> 0:29:10.479 to them and go head up with them and just say, hey, 0:29:10.520 --> 0:29:11.920 it's me and you square up. You know, let's go 0:29:11.960 --> 0:29:15.640 Oklahoma drill and just just run them over. If you 0:29:15.680 --> 0:29:17.440 could take that from them, you could take their will 0:29:17.520 --> 0:29:19.600 from them. You could take their will, and that's going 0:29:19.680 --> 0:29:21.680 to be a blow not only to their defense but 0:29:21.840 --> 0:29:24.600 to their entire team because that's the identity of their team. 0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:26.160 They want to run, they want to hit right. 0:29:26.240 --> 0:29:28.200 Their guys want to play downhill, and because of that, 0:29:28.360 --> 0:29:31.760 play action is oh so sweet. If you can get 0:29:31.800 --> 0:29:35.040 these guys coming downhill, yes, play action, but in order 0:29:35.040 --> 0:29:38.760 to have play action, red of the rent. So that's 0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:40.600 pretty much what I have there. Man, I wish there 0:29:40.680 --> 0:29:42.920 was more. I've I've looked, I've searched, I've done all 0:29:42.920 --> 0:29:44.480 those things. These guys are the bottom of league and 0:29:44.480 --> 0:29:46.000 pressures are at the bottom of the league. Of sacks, 0:29:46.360 --> 0:29:48.640 they're they're they're not they're at the top of the 0:29:48.720 --> 0:29:51.040 league in terms of giving up yardage in the air. 0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:55.040 They're just they're just not good statistically and then defensively. 0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:57.080 They only have a handful of guys that you're necessarily 0:29:57.120 --> 0:29:59.520 concerned about. Like I said, Hutchison, keep your eye on them, 0:29:59.640 --> 0:30:01.960 but you've faced way better this year. You know, he's 0:30:02.000 --> 0:30:04.280 he's a high motor guy. He's not a skilled guy. 0:30:04.600 --> 0:30:06.600 He's a high motor guy, not a skill guy very 0:30:06.680 --> 0:30:09.880 much at the next level. Alex ends alone, high motor guy, 0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:12.120 not necessarily a high skill guy, but you better get 0:30:12.120 --> 0:30:15.560 your hat on him because he'll be a disruptor. Outside 0:30:15.560 --> 0:30:17.520 of that, there's just not a lot of dudes, man, 0:30:17.760 --> 0:30:22.040 DJ Reader. He's just a big boy. But and you know, 0:30:22.120 --> 0:30:24.320 I'm like, I'm just I'm just not impressed. I'm not impressed. 0:30:25.400 --> 0:30:27.200 If you can shut down their office, you're you're you're 0:30:27.200 --> 0:30:27.800 a good position. 0:30:28.000 --> 0:30:28.720 This is weird. 0:30:28.880 --> 0:30:31.920 Hearing Isaiah and not impressed about an imposing defense. 0:30:32.600 --> 0:30:36.320 I'm not They're a good team, right, so like they're 0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:39.720 a good team overall team, but out of their team, 0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:43.120 this is probably the worst third of their of their game. 0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:46.040 What's strange to me is whenever I was going through 0:30:46.040 --> 0:30:47.880 the tape and outside looking in, I was like, this 0:30:47.960 --> 0:30:49.800 is a great team that we're about to play. I'm 0:30:50.040 --> 0:30:52.920 afraid of them, Like I'm intimidated by this team. However, 0:30:53.600 --> 0:30:55.840 when I was writing down my notes looking at the 0:30:56.000 --> 0:30:58.240 defensive film, the defensive side of the ball, I was 0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:00.480 kind of coming up with the same thing. I was like, Okay, well, 0:31:00.720 --> 0:31:03.240 Aaron Glenn is almost aggressive to a fault, Like he 0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:05.520 wasn't even double covering DK Metcalf for the most of 0:31:05.560 --> 0:31:07.800 that Seahawks game. And I'm like, okay, well, thank you, 0:31:08.040 --> 0:31:10.480 Please keep doing that. Please keep doing that. I would 0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:13.680 love to do that because that just opens cdlam down 0:31:13.680 --> 0:31:16.000 the field, and thank you for that. They play a 0:31:16.080 --> 0:31:18.120 lot of man coverage, and I think you can scheme 0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:20.480 them to death with the right offensive play calls, but 0:31:20.560 --> 0:31:20.840 they have. 0:31:20.920 --> 0:31:21.640 To be creative. 0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:24.440 And that's another thing with at least on the cowboy side, 0:31:24.440 --> 0:31:26.640 where I don't feel like they've been as creative down 0:31:26.720 --> 0:31:28.640 the field throwing the football, You know what I mean, 0:31:28.680 --> 0:31:31.400 It's very much the same hit routes, the same go routes, 0:31:31.440 --> 0:31:35.680 the same I think if you're able to do more 0:31:35.800 --> 0:31:38.320 crossers and play off of because they are doing a 0:31:38.360 --> 0:31:44.280 lot of off ball or what is it offman exactly, 0:31:44.360 --> 0:31:46.480 if you're able to run crossers, I think that's where 0:31:46.520 --> 0:31:49.160 you you find the juice, right almost. 0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:52.600 Like the one that got Jaylen Tobert the go ahead touchdown. 0:31:52.400 --> 0:31:55.480 Almost like exactly exactly. 0:31:55.640 --> 0:31:57.800 Seattle ran about six of them in the game. You 0:31:57.920 --> 0:31:59.600 go back to watch Seattle film set, it ran a 0:31:59.640 --> 0:32:02.280 ton of them. Gino Smith missed a lot of throws 0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:05.040 in that game. That just missed a lot of throws. 0:32:05.080 --> 0:32:07.280 And you talk about DK, about four or five of 0:32:07.320 --> 0:32:09.360 those things were to DK for big plays and DK's 0:32:09.400 --> 0:32:10.880 you see him just throwing his hands up like bruh, 0:32:10.920 --> 0:32:11.479 could you get there? 0:32:11.640 --> 0:32:14.800 And talking about undisciplined Arnold for one. Whenever he was 0:32:15.080 --> 0:32:17.920 covering DK like he was, it was strange. So he 0:32:18.000 --> 0:32:20.560 had his back turned to the sideline where he was 0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:23.960 just leaving DK open. He was mainly looking downfield and 0:32:24.480 --> 0:32:26.640 back to the quarterback obviously, but to the center of 0:32:26.720 --> 0:32:29.240 the jump. It exactly when it's like this is DK 0:32:29.360 --> 0:32:31.640 metcalf Man. He could play the sideline all day long, 0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:34.520 and guess who can also play the sideline all day long, 0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:38.960 CD lamb. So to me, they won't be able to 0:32:39.000 --> 0:32:41.479 beat you with speed at all. You want to get 0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:44.720 Cavante Turpin involved early and often, like we talked about 0:32:45.000 --> 0:32:48.120 giving him that confidence in getting them the ball early enough, 0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:51.240 and being creative with his routes as well, and giving 0:32:51.280 --> 0:32:54.800 him those crossers too, because you'd think they would change 0:32:54.800 --> 0:32:56.920 their ways a little bit and maybe double cover CD. 0:32:57.080 --> 0:32:58.920 But I don't think Aaron Glenn's gonna do it. 0:32:59.000 --> 0:32:59.880 He likes his guy. 0:33:00.160 --> 0:33:01.480 He's only I mean, he's only blitzing. 0:33:01.600 --> 0:33:02.920 To your point, you talk about how aggresive he is, 0:33:02.960 --> 0:33:06.560 he'sk about aggressive in terms of his defensive backs techniques 0:33:06.600 --> 0:33:10.240 because they're only blitching twenty nine percent, right, we're. 0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:11.120 Talking about techniques, right. 0:33:11.200 --> 0:33:14.840 These guys trust, they trust in their defensive backs coverage ability, right, 0:33:14.920 --> 0:33:16.720 so they will they have no problem leaving these guys 0:33:16.800 --> 0:33:18.760 man to man. So you got to win, You gotta win, 0:33:18.800 --> 0:33:20.920 and they will come up in two hand punch you 0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:22.400 in the mouth at the line of scrimmage and say 0:33:22.520 --> 0:33:23.160 get off the ball. 0:33:23.360 --> 0:33:25.120 So CD's gonna have to be on top of his cubes. 0:33:25.280 --> 0:33:26.880 One thing that I want to highlight that I think 0:33:27.000 --> 0:33:28.440 is going to be very important to this game that 0:33:28.520 --> 0:33:29.960 we haven't had to worry about too much yet is 0:33:30.040 --> 0:33:32.800 ball security. I really want to stress ball security this 0:33:32.880 --> 0:33:35.960 week because this is a physical team that flies and 0:33:36.080 --> 0:33:39.280 hits you at full speed. They're not great tactles. No, 0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:41.600 not just talking about Jalleen'sober and they're not great tacklers. 0:33:42.240 --> 0:33:45.200 They're not great tacklers. These guys will run and they'll 0:33:45.280 --> 0:33:47.760 hit you full speed and they'll try to punch the 0:33:47.800 --> 0:33:48.200 ball out. 0:33:48.840 --> 0:33:50.760 There's an interesting point I want to make here, and 0:33:50.840 --> 0:33:53.720 it's based off of something you said three years ago 0:33:53.920 --> 0:33:55.800 about this Lion's team. I'll tell you about it when 0:33:55.840 --> 0:33:57.800 we come back. Right after the break here on Talking. 0:33:57.640 --> 0:34:01.160 Cowboy, Tons thought it would be secure to jog in 0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:03.960 the Cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he 0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:07.040 bought online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to 0:34:07.080 --> 0:34:09.520 be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles 0:34:09.600 --> 0:34:11.960 per hour.

They were one in five. 0:36:27.080 --> 0:36:30.120 They worked their way into AT and T. But there 0:36:30.239 --> 0:36:32.080 was something in QB vision. 0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:33.759 I don't even know if we called it that back 0:36:33.800 --> 0:36:36.279 then at that point, but it was something you saw in. 0:36:36.360 --> 0:36:39.520 Tape, and it was a willingness to be physical. 0:36:39.600 --> 0:36:42.160 It was a willingness to play downhill and it was 0:36:42.960 --> 0:36:48.399 a culture of physicality that Dan Campbell had continued to grow. 0:36:48.520 --> 0:36:50.200 Now we've seen them take steps. 0:36:50.239 --> 0:36:53.359 They started winning that year, nearly made the playoffs, lost 0:36:53.400 --> 0:36:55.240 in the final week of the regular season, or actually 0:36:55.239 --> 0:36:57.480 they won in the final week against Green Bay but 0:36:57.560 --> 0:36:59.279 didn't end up getting in because of some of the 0:36:59.360 --> 0:37:02.120 other outside actors. Then last year they did what they did, 0:37:02.239 --> 0:37:04.359 making their way all the way to the NFC title game. 0:37:05.680 --> 0:37:08.680 This time around is what has been the. 0:37:08.760 --> 0:37:12.000 Key for that physicality, growing and building that culture all 0:37:12.000 --> 0:37:15.359 the way through. And are they as physical or less 0:37:15.400 --> 0:37:15.960 physical than. 0:37:15.920 --> 0:37:17.880 They were last year when the Cowboys saw I think 0:37:17.920 --> 0:37:20.600 they're less physical. Interesting, Yeah, I don't think they're as 0:37:20.680 --> 0:37:22.800 physical as they once were. I think they're playing faster, 0:37:24.160 --> 0:37:28.920 but they're playing more reckless. They're playing faster, but more reckless, 0:37:28.960 --> 0:37:31.840 and they're not This is not as discipline. And I 0:37:31.960 --> 0:37:34.440 hate to say that because Mix teammates his unit, but 0:37:36.800 --> 0:37:38.960 this is a defense that used to be very confident 0:37:39.000 --> 0:37:41.560 in their ability to hit you and tackle you. Now 0:37:41.640 --> 0:37:42.279 they just hit you. 0:37:43.440 --> 0:37:44.600 And I don't know if that has to go back 0:37:44.600 --> 0:37:46.600 to training camp rules or all this stuff, you know, 0:37:46.760 --> 0:37:49.239 but they're not tackling well, you go back and watch 0:37:49.280 --> 0:37:51.520 some of their previous games. Guys are running through arm tackles. 0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:54.920 Guys were leaving their teammates out. They're not playing with leverage. 0:37:55.160 --> 0:37:58.319 You have cornerbacks that are making business decisions as as 0:37:58.360 --> 0:38:00.960 peers will say, you know where you're supposed to stay 0:38:00.960 --> 0:38:03.279 outside in and kind of funnel everything into your your 0:38:03.280 --> 0:38:05.319 guys that are coming from the inside. And these guys 0:38:05.320 --> 0:38:07.040 are just jumping around and saying, I'm not about to 0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:08.640 get hit, you know what I'm saying. They just totally 0:38:08.680 --> 0:38:11.719 abandoned what they're supposed to be doing responsibility wise. So 0:38:11.800 --> 0:38:14.439 you're seeing a lot of selfish play by these guys. 0:38:14.520 --> 0:38:17.359 And I think guys are being selective as to win. 0:38:17.880 --> 0:38:19.640 Certain guys on our defense of being selective as to 0:38:19.760 --> 0:38:20.880 win and what they want to do. 0:38:21.080 --> 0:38:23.600 Is that a byproduct of knowing that the offense is 0:38:23.640 --> 0:38:25.279 as good as they are and saying, now. 0:38:25.200 --> 0:38:26.640 I will get those points in someone. 0:38:26.680 --> 0:38:27.800 It might be. It might be. 0:38:27.920 --> 0:38:29.400 I mean, I think that's one that's something that you 0:38:29.480 --> 0:38:30.880 have to be concerned about, right when you have one 0:38:30.960 --> 0:38:33.160 unit as relatively dominant, the other unit is like, we 0:38:33.200 --> 0:38:34.560 don't have to be as good, you know. And I'm 0:38:34.600 --> 0:38:36.840 not saying that's something that should be the case, but 0:38:37.160 --> 0:38:39.800 it's human nature for some people, right. And depending on 0:38:39.880 --> 0:38:41.319 the guys that you have in that locker room, depending 0:38:41.320 --> 0:38:42.640 on the guys you have on that side of the ball, 0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:45.439 what points of emphasis are being instilled on that side. 0:38:45.840 --> 0:38:48.399 We don't know, right, We can speculate all day long, 0:38:48.520 --> 0:38:51.879 but the reality is they're not as good defensively as 0:38:51.960 --> 0:38:54.800 they have been. They're at the bottom of the league, 0:38:55.320 --> 0:38:57.480 literally at the bottom of the league and statistically, So 0:38:58.280 --> 0:38:59.000 that's not opinion. 0:38:59.080 --> 0:39:01.279 That's just facts, you know. That reminds me of. 0:39:02.840 --> 0:39:05.520 In looking at the Detroit Lions, how they're playing football 0:39:05.640 --> 0:39:09.080 in twenty twenty four, looking at the film, hearing what 0:39:09.200 --> 0:39:11.560 Isaiah is saying, which I completely agree with, and I'll 0:39:11.600 --> 0:39:12.879 get to QB vision. 0:39:12.960 --> 0:39:15.239 I had a great point that supports what you're saying. 0:39:16.480 --> 0:39:21.759 It feels like the Detroit Lions are currently what the 0:39:22.000 --> 0:39:27.560 high powered Dallas Cowboys were at the turn of the decade. Right, 0:39:27.800 --> 0:39:31.200 When you have a quarterback operating at a high level, 0:39:31.239 --> 0:39:34.040 you have two running backs that compliment each other so 0:39:34.200 --> 0:39:37.000 well that they're arguably the best RB duo in the 0:39:37.120 --> 0:39:39.400 league when you're talking about Zeke and Tony. Right, you 0:39:39.480 --> 0:39:41.680 had a Marii Cooper, you had CD Lamb and don't 0:39:41.680 --> 0:39:44.120 show who's operating at a high level because Dak Prescott 0:39:44.200 --> 0:39:47.359 made him his most targeted receiver at the time. Right, 0:39:47.680 --> 0:39:50.000 So you have Sam Laporter, so you have the tight 0:39:50.120 --> 0:39:53.720 end that's highly effective. You have the two dominant wide receivers, 0:39:53.760 --> 0:39:55.600 you have two dominant guys back there, and you have 0:39:55.719 --> 0:39:58.120 an offensive line that can block you up right. 0:39:58.120 --> 0:39:59.960 An uber aggressive offensive coordinator. 0:40:00.120 --> 0:40:02.600 Right, like all of these things, But what you didn't 0:40:02.680 --> 0:40:07.680 have was a secondary that scared the lights out of anyone. 0:40:07.920 --> 0:40:09.840 Right, you had a shaky secondary, but you. 0:40:09.880 --> 0:40:12.080 Kind of got away with it because you had an 0:40:12.120 --> 0:40:15.520 offense that would just light up the scoreboard at every turn. 0:40:15.880 --> 0:40:18.200 So to your question and to your answer, I agree, 0:40:18.719 --> 0:40:21.040 this doesn't feel. This is not to say they're not 0:40:21.160 --> 0:40:25.520 still physical, but they feel less physical and more finesse 0:40:25.760 --> 0:40:29.520 and speed and flash than they were in last year 0:40:29.680 --> 0:40:31.759 or the year prior as they started to turn the 0:40:31.800 --> 0:40:34.360 culture around. And again this is we're not saying this 0:40:34.520 --> 0:40:36.400 is a bad thing or a bad football team, but 0:40:36.640 --> 0:40:39.640 the three in one. But when you contrast that with 0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:42.399 what the Cowboys have been forced to be this year, 0:40:42.800 --> 0:40:45.759 right with the struggling offense and the rushing attack not 0:40:45.840 --> 0:40:48.440 getting where it needs to get. They're scratching and clawing, 0:40:48.600 --> 0:40:52.480 having to learn how to be the bullies. No game 0:40:52.640 --> 0:40:55.400 was more evident than the one in Pittsburgh. Right. So 0:40:55.560 --> 0:40:59.439 now you have a more finesseful, flashy Lions team going 0:40:59.520 --> 0:41:03.960 up against a more scrappy man down hauling all cards 0:41:04.719 --> 0:41:07.879 right back against the wall mentality in this matchup, it's 0:41:07.960 --> 0:41:11.680 actually the Cowboys that feel like the more physical team. 0:41:11.760 --> 0:41:14.080 As odd as it is for me to say, but 0:41:14.239 --> 0:41:16.480 I said yesterday going to QB Vision, I love that 0:41:16.560 --> 0:41:19.600 you said the secondary is questionable because they are the 0:41:19.680 --> 0:41:22.160 defensive front not so much work, not so much to 0:41:22.320 --> 0:41:24.600 that point, because they are dominant eight Hutchison and those 0:41:24.600 --> 0:41:26.640 guys up front, they can do some damage, but that 0:41:26.800 --> 0:41:30.439 secondary undisciplined. Like Isaiah said, they play off the play 0:41:30.520 --> 0:41:31.920 safe because Dan. 0:41:31.840 --> 0:41:33.560 Campbell in the defensive court at Aaron Glynn. 0:41:33.560 --> 0:41:35.960 They don't necessarily trust that those guys technique is going 0:41:36.000 --> 0:41:36.719 to be what it's going to be. 0:41:36.840 --> 0:41:37.320 So what do you do? 0:41:37.400 --> 0:41:39.000 You cushing them a little bit and say, okay, well 0:41:39.040 --> 0:41:40.680 just keep the play in front of you. Okay, well 0:41:40.760 --> 0:41:42.800 that's fine. So then you attack the underneath throuts. And 0:41:42.960 --> 0:41:44.640 I say that to say yesterday, I was having a 0:41:44.680 --> 0:41:47.239 good conversation with our our friend ass who's on Girl 0:41:47.280 --> 0:41:50.040 Talk Boys Talk with with Nicole Hudgerson, and I said, 0:41:50.040 --> 0:41:52.719 I feel like this is the Jake Ferguson game. I 0:41:52.800 --> 0:41:55.640 feel like this is the Jake Ferguson game in both 0:41:56.920 --> 0:42:01.279 matchup and in demeanor. Right, you talked about it when 0:42:01.320 --> 0:42:05.680 you said the lack of discipline in their secondary, it's youth. 0:42:05.800 --> 0:42:07.600 It's they want to talk. They want a yap, they 0:42:07.600 --> 0:42:10.239 want a yammer unlike Jordan Lewis, though you haven't proved 0:42:10.239 --> 0:42:12.000 that you can stick to your technique to be able 0:42:12.080 --> 0:42:12.400 to do that. 0:42:12.480 --> 0:42:15.759 Yep. But in yammer, something about Jake Ferguson, What is 0:42:15.840 --> 0:42:17.439 he like to do? Oh, he'll talk. 0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:19.759 You want to talk, He'll talk back. He's going to 0:42:19.800 --> 0:42:21.600 get under your skin. He's going to get in your head. 0:42:21.640 --> 0:42:24.640 He did that to a veteran and Jamal Adams completely 0:42:24.680 --> 0:42:27.320 got Jamal Adams off of his game, right. So I 0:42:27.400 --> 0:42:29.720 think when you talk about being able to attack underneath, 0:42:29.840 --> 0:42:34.600 obviously Ceedee Lamb, Jaylen Tolbert underneath, but the seams, they're 0:42:34.640 --> 0:42:36.680 going to be right there. And I love how Jake 0:42:36.800 --> 0:42:38.560 is making guys miscal back. And look at what he 0:42:38.680 --> 0:42:41.320 was doing with against the Steelers, making guys misket in 0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:43.800 those extra yards Hunter Lipkey, if you're not going to 0:42:43.840 --> 0:42:46.239 have deuce von in the game, Hunter Lipkey, look at 0:42:46.280 --> 0:42:48.319 what he did on that critical late game drive right 0:42:48.920 --> 0:42:51.320 receive right of the back field, making guys miss so 0:42:51.480 --> 0:42:55.160 attack the underneath. But as far as like matchup and demeanor, 0:42:55.400 --> 0:42:57.680 give me this being a Jake Ferguson game to kind 0:42:57.719 --> 0:42:59.280 of help set that bully. 0:42:59.480 --> 0:43:01.200 We're more phys a cool than you tone. 0:43:01.640 --> 0:43:04.080 And it's kind of fun to think about it for 0:43:04.160 --> 0:43:09.480 a second because the Lions are the more finesseful team. Yeah, 0:43:09.480 --> 0:43:11.719 I punch him in the face, then, yeah, I think 0:43:11.880 --> 0:43:13.600 in the face. And this is a bold prediction, but 0:43:13.640 --> 0:43:16.160 I think CD goes for one fifty. Oh like that, 0:43:16.320 --> 0:43:17.680 how manyieswies? 0:43:18.400 --> 0:43:20.440 You're putting it on?

I just don't know 0:43:30.400 --> 0:43:32.960 if Coach McCarthy's gonna put him in position to do it, 0:43:33.520 --> 0:43:33.719 you know. 0:43:33.920 --> 0:43:35.960 I mean I can see it on filming. I know 0:43:36.000 --> 0:43:36.520 what I would do. 0:43:36.719 --> 0:43:37.760 Now I'm making prediction. 0:43:37.920 --> 0:43:43.080 Say it with your chest halfway, say see, I believe 0:43:43.200 --> 0:43:43.560 half that. 0:43:43.800 --> 0:43:46.640 If you line the camera, listen, listen, if you line 0:43:47.360 --> 0:43:50.600 CD Lamb, If Ceedee Lamb gets fifty percent of his 0:43:50.640 --> 0:43:53.879 snaps from the slot, he goes for one fifty if 0:43:53.920 --> 0:43:54.439 he just needs. 0:43:54.960 --> 0:43:56.239 Now, he got quiet as he said that. 0:43:56.520 --> 0:43:58.719 No, this is me talking to This is me talking 0:43:58.719 --> 0:43:59.120 to the people. 0:43:59.160 --> 0:44:01.840 Listen, Ceedee Lamb needs to be in a slot this 0:44:02.000 --> 0:44:05.080 week because the seams are there, right, These safeties are 0:44:05.120 --> 0:44:05.800 not disciplined. 0:44:05.840 --> 0:44:07.600 It you see what I'm saying. 0:44:07.760 --> 0:44:09.239 If you put them on the outside, and you put 0:44:09.280 --> 0:44:10.560 them on the boundary, why would you want to Why 0:44:10.560 --> 0:44:11.400 would you want to box him in? 0:44:11.440 --> 0:44:15.400 Don't box him?
