WEBVTT - Cowboys Break: WR Position Needs Help 0:00:01.639 --> 0:00:04.160 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:07.360 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:11.920 a break? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely ready 0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:15.840 for a break? Yeah, and so much for that. It's 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:21.799 time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com with 0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:27.080 Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and Bar Garcia and Derrek Eagleton. 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:31.400 Good morning, guys, welcome to the Break today. There's no 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:35.440 Derrik Eagleton, but we have mister Brian brought us here. 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:38.040 Thank you. Does Brian Holls it feel to be back 0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:45.320 on a good show? Yeah? No, damn. Absolutely did miss you? Really? 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.480 I missed you, guys, Yeah, I missed you. You really 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.560 don't pull punches ever. Yeah. The average age of the show, 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.040 do you know what a joke is? Yeah? The average 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:55.000 age of my show is one hundred and five and 0:00:55.160 --> 0:01:01.440 this one is a lot less than absolutely absolutely all right. 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:03.800 I wanted to get into the some of the guys 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.240 that people people are asking about. One of them is 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:11.000 Shaun Lee. He's been doing some work today. How is 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.679 that looking for this weekend? I know, obviously it's kind 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.120 of soon to tell, but as far as the things 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.680 that you've been able to see out on the field 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:20.880 and what he's been able to do so far, only 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.959 practiced yesterday, is at practice again today. We always say, 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.680 you know, you're the earlier in the week you're available, 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:29.119 the better it is for your prospects of being available. 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.720 So I feel kind of confident that he might be 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:36.039 able to go. And what we've we've gone back and 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.360 forth about what that means for the linebacker position and 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.240 how they platoon all those guys. But I'm kind of 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.680 leaning toward thinking he might be active. You know, usually 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.000 you have like a situation where you got to buy week. 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:49.320 I mean, you wouldn't think that you would play, but 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.280 no one shan Lee and seeing what he's seeing out 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.360 there on the field, with these two guys playing like 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.720 they are, I think he wants to get back there 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.760 as well. So he said it all along. If I'm healthy, 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.200 I'm going to play, regardless the bias. Yeah, I think 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.320 that it was very clear that Jason Garrett came out 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:05.760 the other day, I think it was Monday, and was 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.640 talking about there's only so many of these games, you know, 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.760 there's only so many of these opportunities, And I think 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.600 that was a really good hint that Sean was going 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:17.280 to try and work his way through. I know on 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.160 our periscope yesterday I said he's going to come and 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.600 play and start, and I don't. I don't feel that 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:27.560 any different today than I did, you know, so I'm 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.520 going I'm gonna say that he's gonna be part of 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:34.679 this rotation. He's likely gonna he's gonna start him and 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.919 Jalen Smith, and then they're gonna find ways to get him, 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.919 Laton vander Esh, those guys all through are going to rotate. 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:41.240 And I think at the end of the day, it's 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.120 gonna be really good for Sean Lee because in the 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.440 fourth quarter, when you need him in a game to 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:47.560 come out and make a play, maybe to chase down 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.880 a quarterback, to chase a ball, to knock a ball 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.400 down fourth down, whatever he has to do, you'll have 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:54.280 a fresh or Seawan Lee playing that way, and I 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.680 think that's a good thing. I just want to stop 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.120 and consider the fact that Dallas Cowboys might have have 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:04.040 too many good linebackers, Like, what the hell happened? That's amazing. 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.920 I can't even believe those words came out of my mouth, 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.360 but it's true. You know what they've said. Problem they 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.560 took a chance they took a chance though, really on 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.400 one of them, on Jalen Smith. Helly, it took a 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:19.120 huge chance on Jalen Smith. And you know, and point 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.280 the finger at me as not wanting anything to do 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.280 with Jalen Smith. But now you have a situation where 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.880 you're saying, well, you know, everybody's thinking they drafted Layton 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.520 vander esh to possibly play for Jalen Smith. It's not 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:34.080 Jalen Smith. It's not like it's Sean Lee. But now, okay, 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.839 they got through the time. I'm surprised, and I asked 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.200 this question on our show the day. I am surprised 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:44.800 how smoothly this this without Sean Lee has gone. And 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.560 there's a lot of work up turnabout communication. I think 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.400 that's talking. On the offense, it seems to be a problem, 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.720 but on defense they haven't given a big place. They haven't. 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.840 You know, I'm I'm sitting there screaming for for you know, 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.600 go out and get that guy from Seattle, go out 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.000 and get her Thomas, because I was worried about Sean 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.640 Lee being out of the lineup. Then all of a sudden, 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.320 like who's going to hold this thing together? But a 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.480 rookie and a third year player are really holding this 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.160 thing together. Plus you got what's going on up front 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.960 with their rotation of their pass rush and their defensive line. 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:20.080 So you know, count me as being not very smart 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.599 thinking about what Jalen Smith could do. You know, I 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.320 had some questions about Layton Vanderish some, but you know, 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.040 they were smart. They knew what they needed to do 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.080 to get through this, no doubt about it. Now you 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.279 mentioned the line, and as far as some of these guys, 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:39.200 Molly Collins, he's finally in full practice, it seems ready 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.480 to go. Obviously played last game. Now as far as 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.320 DeMarcus Lawrence, he's still showing up as limited with the 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:49.920 whole shoulder injury. Is this turning something into maybe that 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:53.000 it's kind of concerning or just one of those things 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.120 that you know, he's a tough guy. That's some kind 0:04:56.160 --> 0:05:00.680 of injury that he can keep playing through. He's gonna play. Yeah, 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.120 but no, yes, both because it's not going away. He's 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.440 got a tear in his labor, I mean yeah, which 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.400 is yeah, it's absolutely concerning. I think we talked about 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.200 that on Monday or Tuesday. It is just that I 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.560 have no doubt he's gonna fight through it, but he 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.600 fought through it. He fought through a shoulder issue in 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:21.360 twenty sixteen and it's severely limited his ability. So I'm 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.760 not ready to say that we're going to see a 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.320 severe drop off. He's still been you know, even he's 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.880 been he's impacted these last two games. He hasn't had 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:32.640 the sacks, but he's been there. So I'm not ready 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.360 to say he's gonna disappear, but it seems like something 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.039 he's gonna He's gonna be fighting it all year, and 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.599 I think that, you know, it sucks for him, Okay. 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:41.360 And then the last guy I want to talk about, 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:45.200 Cheeto Cheetah ba Wooziah is still struggling there with the 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:50.080 ankle injury limited how I mean, based on what we saw, 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.720 Jordan Lewis kind of stepping in. Are you feeling kind 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.080 of okay with Okay, let's just leave Cheeta off to 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.680 the side, let him recover with the amount of time 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.880 he needs, and you're okay with Jordan. I think it's 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.360 this front seven is playing so well right now, especially 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:06.640 the linebackers. But the front seven is playing well. And 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.000 I'm not trying to discredit what Jordan Lewis has done 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.640 or even Cheeto and Byron is playing great. But I 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.040 do think that they're playing so well together up front 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.240 that they're allowing these guys to step in. Jordan can 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.160 come in, he can make plays, he can pick up 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.960 a fumble, he can do some good things. Um, I 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.680 think they're gonna need Cheeto obviously, from they're gonna have. 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.279 They're gonna go against them, the Matt Ryans and Carson 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.560 Wentz and all those guys. But I think right now 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.120 it's it's it's it's going well and the confidence of 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.880 Jordan Lewis it seems to be a raised that's a 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:39.000 good thing too. I think when Cheeto is one hundred 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.400 percent he comes back into the mix, it's probably a 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.680 good thing right now. Yeah, I think they were worried 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.760 about I mean, I met person. I was worried about 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.560 them losing Jordan Lewis. I really was like I was 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:53.480 losing them him mentally, like being being having the fire 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.680 in his gut to continue to play. You know, Chris Rushard. 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:58.400 It might have been the best thing in the world 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:00.920 ever for Byron Jones, for Chris Richard to come in, 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.640 because he saw something in him that nobody else had seen. 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.080 In him, so hey play him at right corner. But 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.120 what else did he do? He said, well, you know what, 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.480 I would rather play with Anthony Brown than I would 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.360 with Jordan Lewis. And so all of a sudden, now 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.480 and you know, here's Jordan Lewis. He played fourteen games 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.040 for it. I think he made seven starts for you 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.320 last year, and all of a sudden, now he's your 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.600 fourth best corner, you know, and that that was a big, 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.080 big switch for him to have to But I think 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:28.480 this game, you know, they threw him in the dime 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.680 package into against Detroit and he got beat, you know, 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.480 on that play, and that's going to happen. But then 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.240 they didn't play him the rest of the time. You're thinking, okay, 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.360 well here we go. They're not going to play him anymore. 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:40.480 But you know, he got a lot of work last 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.160 week practicing because the woozier, as you said, Ambro was 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.840 not ready to go. And so he's he played with 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.880 some confidence in practice, played with some confidence in the game, 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:51.480 and it looks like that he's back to the guy 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.240 that we kind of saw a little bit last year 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.080 and not this guy that's kind of wandering around without 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.480 a rudder out in the water somewhere, just waiting to 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.240 hit land. And what helps him, I think is kind 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.680 of his personality, to his attitude. You know, he's not 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:12.040 an example the Orlando's can Drake type of behavior locker rooms, though. 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:16.160 I'm glad. I'm sure we're all glad to see that 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.480 he was able to step in and take advantage of 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:24.440 those reps. Now, Dave, let's get into the Redskins defense. Now. Oh, 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.840 we're gonna do that right now. Okay, you always like you. 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.480 It's I like how you mix it up. I never know, 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.440 I never know when you're gonna spring that all. You 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.080 gotta go on the fly. You did it at the 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.080 top of the show one time, and you waited for 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.280 the first break one time. But yeah, okay, we can 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:39.880 do that right. Well, we have time, we have a 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:43.240 little time before we go into break. Nick is gonna 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.440 step out for a little bit, so let's just start 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.320 off with the interview the owner. That's probably more important 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:52.280 than talking to us, maybe, Okay, no, yeah, let's get 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:57.400 into it. Um. It's funny because it's a different scheme, 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.760 but the Cowboys and the Redskins just remind me so 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.880 much of each other. Like, this looks familiar to me 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.600 looking at them, So it's a three four defense. I 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:09.439 don't think I really buy that. They look just as 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.600 much four three as three four. To me, Ryan Karragan 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.760 and Preston Smith played down just as much as they 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.920 play up. And this is a big front. Like we 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.280 talked last week about how athletic the Jags are, and 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.600 obviously all NFL players are athletic, but this is this 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:24.680 is size. That's the last thing I was just looking 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:28.040 at before you threw it over to me is Durron 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.480 Payne and Jonathan Allen are the centerpiece of this thing. 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.960 These first round picks they've taken the last two years 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:36.360 six three three twenty and sixty three three hundred, and 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:42.120 they move with alarming athleticism, like Jonathan Allen and Durn 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.880 Payne routinely make plays at the numbers even though they're 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:50.000 freaking gigantic. And then you got Preston Smith who's six 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:54.199 five to eighty and Ryan Karragan is the smallest guy 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.679 at six four two sixties. So this is gonna be 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.640 a lot of beef for the Cowboys off pensive line 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:03.839 to handle. And behind them again, you say three four, 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.360 but Kerrigan and Preston Smith are basically ends. I don't 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.360 really consider them linebackers. So you've got much like Jalen 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.240 Smith and Layton Vanderesh or Shawn Lee. You got two 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.680 middle linebackers behind that front that make every tackle that 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.520 they miss in Mason Foster and Zach Brown. Yep, I 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.880 don't think that there is Again, I don't think they're 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:26.960 as freakishly athletic as Jalen or Vanderesh, but they appreciate 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:32.160 I appreciate this positive reinforcement. Um. They they're instinctive players 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.880 though like they make tackles, they diagnose plays like I said, 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:37.840 they don't. They don't jump off the screen at you 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.120 the way Jalen Smith does in my opinion, but they're 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.839 always where they're supposed to be. Um, if you had 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:46.240 to rate them compared to what the Cowboys have faced 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:50.120 so far, they're not as I struggle to say, they're 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.719 not as good. They're not as athletic as you say. 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.600 You're saying the front seven or just front seven. That's 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.439 a good question. That is a really good that's a 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.200 good dick, and I'm gonna answer that when he gets 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.480 all right, let me let me just go down the line. Um, 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.680 I don't think they're as good as Carolina. I don't 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.000 think they're they're better than New York, especially when you 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:14.440 consider that Olivier Vernon didn't play in that game. They're 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:22.360 better than the Seahawks current incarnation probably debatable. Um. Week four, 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:28.400 they're better than Detroit overall. I think they're probably better 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:33.080 than Houston. And I know it's all about the pass rushers. 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.720 That's where I think it's very similar. Yeah, that's where 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:38.720 I think we I think we were really you know, 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.480 you think they're better than Jacksonville just the front. No, Yeah, 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.720 I don't think they're better than Jacksonville. Are you saying 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.640 there like Houston because of the size. I'm saying because 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.760 of the size, and I'm saying because the slinky play, 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.200 And I mean, I'm talking about the linebackers. What gave 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.199 the Cowboys trouble in that Houston game. It was that 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:59.160 guys at number ninety kind of moving around and doing 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:01.640 different things. But that's kind of I don't see that 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:06.320 guy here. Oh, Preston Smith can be that guy. Preston Smith. 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.120 I think Preston Smith is one of their most underrated players. 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.080 I heard you say that yesterday. Yeah, I think he 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.360 is one of the most underrated players and a number 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.360 ninety four, and you watch him play, and these guys 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.480 had the Billy where And this is why I asked 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:21.920 Jason Garrett this question today Dave and the walk off 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.679 about the three four and the four to three. You know, 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.560 you know, we all want them to do more read option. 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.120 We want them to let Dak run the ball. Is 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:33.320 there going to be a difference for this offense to 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.720 have to play against up front? That is, you know, 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.600 in three to four in scheme, but you know, but 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.760 they show some four three tendencies, you know, is it different? 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:48.240 It's different from having to block outside linebackers standing up 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.040 than it is having to block defensive ends that are down. 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.319 And so that's where I'm kind of thinking, which will 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:58.720 will Houston excuse me to say, well, well, well, well Washington, 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:03.360 look at what Hughes did scheme wise, and try and 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.679 affect the Cowboys running game that way. My counter to 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.080 that is and that you know, you go back and 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.200 watch the film of this, and you know, the New 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.600 Orleans Saints absolutely demolished this defense rolling the ball. Though No, 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:18.199 I basically I don't care about that because the Cowboys 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:20.920 aren't going to play that way Drew Brees. They don't. 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.960 But shockingly, the Carolina Panthers, if they don't get in 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.120 a seventeen nothing hole right out of the gate in 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.080 that game, they Yes, they had some success running stuff 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.240 the Cowboys like to do. Yes, kid, that's where I'm seeing, 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:35.760 you know. I think that that if you're you know, 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.720 if you're if you're Greg Manuski, who's the defensive coordinator 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.400 for Washington, I think you have to look at games 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:45.240 where people were able to control Dallas from running the football. 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.000 I think that's the kind of the thought that, now, 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.559 do you have the personnel to do that? I think 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:54.600 Washington does have the personnel to play with the heavy 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:58.040 the heavy techniques inside, I would agree. I think they 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:02.200 have the length and the and the power on the 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.760 outside with the with the two outside linebackers. And now 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:09.000 it's gonna come down can those inside linebackers as great players? 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.160 Can they make plays if you're running the ball. I 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:14.720 just if I'm if I'm a Newski, I am not 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.480 letting Dallas run this football and I'm not letting Cole 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:20.680 Beasley beat me throwing the ball. But to that point, 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.320 we saw the read option. Yeah, plenty of success against 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:28.320 the Jags. Yes, we saw Carolina do it to these 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:31.600 guys too, right, And I mean, I think Dak Prescott 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:33.760 needs to be ready to take a beating in this 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.600 game because I think he's gonna have to. Are we 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.520 okay with that? We all we all made a determination. 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:41.800 I know, I do stuff with a show with her 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.160 and we're like, hey, yes, yes, yes, you know what 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:48.520 I mean. If you've you know, it's it's too for 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:52.240 this offense to move. They're gonna have to have Dak 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.800 play that way. Yes, they cannot. You're you're you're you're 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:57.880 playing with him. Just throwing the football is not the 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:02.240 is not gonna win you this game. Between between Alan 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.560 and Payne and then the linebackers there, like, yeah, I 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.960 completely think that they can limit Zeke and what they're 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.200 thinking about four point one to carry there. And they're 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.800 sixth in the league in rushing defense too. Yeah, I 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.320 think that they have what it takes to stop them 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.880 from just ramming the ball down the which is why, yeah, 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.800 Dak's there's gonna have to be an element of misdirection 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.040 and Dak being willing to keep the ball to keep 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:29.080 them off back Carolina was a great precursor to what 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.120 they're gonna see this week. In my opinion, Yes, you know, 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.080 if you talk about like I believe New England is 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.360 playing the Bears. They played the Bears, right, Yeah, they 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.920 played Kansas City last week. So you sometimes you get 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:44.440 schemes that carry over the week the week. Really Yeah, 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:46.320 that's a good point, and so I think you're gonna 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.320 get a carry over schemes. They get to talk football 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.760 when I'm on your show, and so you know, it's 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:53.960 but it's scheme to scheme, you know what I'm saying. 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.160 So if if Greg Manuski again, he's gonna look at 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.520 that film and say, Okay, how did Carolina hurt us? 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.720 How did they hurt us running the football? And you're right, though, 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:07.320 that's seventeen and nothing. Lead was huge because it made 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:09.920 Carolina pretty one dimensional. Yeah, they had to get away 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.480 from they had to get away from everything. But you know, 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.560 look what Dallas has done, say, the last four week 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.120 meetings they've had even I mean last year the two 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:21.840 games weren't even close, and they weren't even close, especially 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:24.480 the one here. Yeah, So I mean I just kind 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:27.200 of think that, you know, but there was no Travis Frederick, 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.120 and you know, it's just there's some things that kind 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.120 of make you a little bit nervous about this offense. 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.480 Let me ask you this. I mean, I cheated because 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.960 I edit your matchup story every week, so I know, 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:39.480 I know that you think that they're going to take 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.720 or try to take Cole Beasley away, which why wouldn't 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.680 they after what Cole Beasley did? And I think there's 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.000 precedent for it. I thought it was really funny that 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.360 I think Jerry it was Jerry Jones that kind of 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:54.640 compared what Beasley did against the Jags to what Witten 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:58.760 has been for this offense. Right, well, the Redskins spent 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:03.400 all day last Sunday taking Greg Olsen out of Carolina's offense. 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.160 God opened up a couple of times if they missed 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.919 him on some overthrown cam cam missed him, but basically 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.120 every time he went down field, he had a guy there. 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.600 He had a safety over the top or a linebacker 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.000 trail in the play. And I would imagine it's going 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:18.359 to be something similar for Cole Beasley. Which my question is, 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.960 I assume Cole Beasley is going to have his work 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:25.320 cut out for him. Do you think that somebody else 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.199 in this offense can make plays against this secondary because 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:34.240 I know that break, We're gonna take this question too. 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.400 I think you got an answer for this one too. Well. 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.480 When we come back, we'll answer that question and keep 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.399 talking about the Redskins defense.

Are 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:53.840 I would assume probably going to try to double Cole Beasley? 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.399 I would think that's going to happen. Yeah. Do you 0:19:56.560 --> 0:20:00.440 think somebody else in this passing game can hurt them 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:03.359 for doing that? Which is not something we've really seen. No, 0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:06.119 through six weeks and we have not. We have not. 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:12.160 He wants wants No, No, I'm interested. Well, I mean, honestly, 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:15.520 there hasn't been anyone to give you that or make 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:18.359 you think that way as of right now. And the 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.440 only guy that would come to mind is Michael Gallup. 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:24.160
