So we've all known 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:24.760 some brothers from the streets. Yeah, ain't no brother from 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.919 the street. They ever have to advertise their stuff. I don't. 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.520 I don't know what that you you give it, you 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:35.000 give it to the right person. They advertise it. They 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:39.600 they they taste it. Street start talking. Okay. But yeah, 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.840 So so here's what I'm so. That's what I'm gonna 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:46.040 let you do about hanging with the boys. Not enough, 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.640 not not over here in this break neighborhood, they're not 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.519 talking about hanging with the boys. I'm gonna give you 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.000 a chance to get your testers out and then we 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.360 see what happened Fallow. Whatever you want, just don't call 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:59.480 a blue match. Well, welcome to the show. We got 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:00.960 a lot of talk about what I'm gonna do over 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.560 the next two days is we're gonna really go big picture. 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.120 We got a lot of questions I'm gonna throw at 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.519 you guys, just big picture. Give you guys an opportunity 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:09.520 to talk about what you think of this team through 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.400 six games. Obviously, it's been very exciting here. It's probably 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.520 more exciting than anything we've seen in quite a while 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:18.959 around here. So I'm gonna start first, I want to 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:20.679 go back a little bit to the New England game. 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.400 There were a few questions I had from that game, 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.160 and I wanted to start talking to you guys about 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:28.200 Let's start first, what things do you think Belichick exposed 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.400 that Dallas will have to see over the next few weeks, because, 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.600 as we know, in the NFL, it is a copycat league. 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.800 You show teams what can possibly be a Kryptonite four team, 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:38.640 they're gonna try to do the same thing. So what 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:40.080 are you thinks that? What are some of the things 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.280 you think Belichick may have shown this last week? Big 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.520 boy ball, the ability that is simply just I'm bigger 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.560 and I'm stronger than you, and I'm coming at you 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.960 downhill every single play. You saw that with New England's 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.880 first drive. I mentioned it yesterday on yesterday show. They 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.920 with thirteen personnel for the entire first drive. They went 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.400 thirteen personnel for our whole first drive, three tight ends. 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:00.160 I don't care if we're using all five line in 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.600 all three tight ends and we're coming downhill, good luck 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.240 trying to stop us. And we struggle with that now. 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.720 Obviously we have some of our our key pieces that 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.680 are missing. In turn, the former Gallamore and d Law. 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.480 We'll get Tristan Hill back, you know, some of those guys. 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.440 But that's a problem if we face an opponent that 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.839 has the personnel to you know, and that's something that 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:20.960 we give up by having a fast defense. When you 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.200 have a fast defense, just like when we played against Carolina, 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.039 they had a fast defense, like a running hit you. 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:26.640 But what do we do. We just said, Okay, we're 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.440 bigger and fasig. We're bigger and stronger than You're gonna 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.440 run the ball down your throat. So when you choose 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.000 to have a defense like we have now that's so versatility, 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.840 that's so fast, that has those various various personnels, we're 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:38.960 going to give up something. And I think we were 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.720 giving up size and strength in that regard. Yeah, I 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.480 think you hit it right on the head. Is for 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.560 a long time, the Cowboys have been weak in the 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.760 middle of their defense up front. And I said in 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.200 earlier last week coming into that show that this game 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.320 will be won or loss at the line of scrimmage, 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.240 that Bill Belichick and company wanted to control that line 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.960 of scrimmage, being that they will be physical on their 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.600 side offensively, and then defensively being able to create some 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:09.680 uh some some some confusion, some pressure, really attack the 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:13.960 middle of our offensive line. And for the Cowboys, uh, 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.600 you know, they really have to kind of if they 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.479 want something to work on to kind of be the 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.400 quote unquote complete team. It's trying to find ways. Okay, 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.280 we know that we're fast, we know that we're physical, 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.839 we know that we have dynamic playmakers on our our defense, 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:32.440 but how can we shore up that middle um. Now, 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.040 when you talk about the team that we have coming 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:40.719 down the stretch next up being Minnesota, we knew what 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:42.599 we know what Minnesota will try to do to us. 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.440 They will try to do what doing a Patriots did 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.479 to us. And Dalvin Cook has been a thorn on 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:52.000 our side both running the football and catching the football. 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.560 But a lot of teams don't have the ability to 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.880 do what do what the Patriots do. A lot of 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.680 teams don't have the ability to do what Minnesota will 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:05.680 try to do with Dalvin Cook. So in contrast to 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.560 that is we teams will either have to continue to 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.640 play their style of football and hope that it works 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:18.080 or try to go another way because most teams don't 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.680 can't do what the Patriots do. You don't have the 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.360 personnel and you don't have the brain power, and that's 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.920 that's that is key. So it's easy to say it's 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.840 a copycat league, but it's hard to copycat when you 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:30.560 know one got the Cats to copy it. But let 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.720 me ask you this, what did you think that this 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.120 last game was an aberration when it comes to um 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.120 the running game and not being able to stop the 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.240 running game? Or had you seen shades of this and 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.039 other games? Maybe other teams didn't do it to the 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.640 level that the Patriots did, But did you see moments 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.880 where you were like, this could be a problem going 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:48.880 down to stretch. I mean, I think there's pieces that 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.520 we obviously need to shore up on the defensive front, 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.640 but overall we've had some really good play out of 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.160 our defensive front. You got some guys like Osa Basham, 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:57.640 some guys that are really starting to show up and 0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.800 play um. At the end of the day, it comes 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:02.920 in personnel matchups. And you know, asked why I hate 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:04.800 when something when people say, oh, well this team, you 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.960 beat this team, but you couldn't beat this team. It's 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.600 all about matchups. It's all about matchups. Just you know, 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.320 there might be some some big boys across that across 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.240 the way that you just can't handle. There's these are 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.480 grown man. They get paid. I'm sorry, Cowboys Nation. These 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.240 boys get paid too, right and um. And that's one 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.880 thing that they invest in. They invest in big guys 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.480 up front and dominant downhill because at the end of 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.720 the game, at the end of the day, Coach Belichick 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:30.400 wants you to have a tight game where he can 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.280 just just smash mouth football. That's it. If he could 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.480 run the ball eighty times a game, he would do it. 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.440 And the thing that we have going to our advantage 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.960 to help our defense. And this is why I was 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:44.560 so I was all for Mike McCarthy going forward earlier 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.280 in the football game because yeah, I was too. Actually 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:48.880 I was so forward. I was so. I was so 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.600 forth one because I want to set a tone. And two, 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.280 the thing that the Cowboys can do well that other 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.480 teams can't do is that we can score at track fast. Yeah. 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:00.640 And when you score early and often, team now have 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:05.080 to play outside of their realm. And if now we 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.600 gifted them fourteen points, which made us have to kind 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:09.280 of play a little bit differently, and they were able 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:10.720 to kind of stick to the script, but what they 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.520 wanted to do. But when you come out early and 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.760 teams already know, they already know. They they cut the 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.880 film one and they like, you got Zeke, you got Tony, 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:22.360 you got shots, you got Jarwin, you got CDM. Mark. 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.320 You can't stop all these dudes. So once you go 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.320 up fourteen, all running up, running the football and trying 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.320 to eat up possessions and eat up clock, that goes 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.440 out the door. And now you have to play a 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.520 game that we want you to play. And it is 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.679 kind of worked in our favorite because Trayvon Diggs is 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:38.800 just sitting back there saying, all right, you guys may 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:40.320 get me for one or two of quarters, and I 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:41.720 may give up a couple of players here and there, 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.240 but just throw another one. I'm gonna get it. And 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.680 so that's the Cowboys have had that advantage all year long, 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:50.319 is what those weapons offensively, teams haven't been able to 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.079 do what they want to do in the running game, 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.959 you know, to our defense, because you just gotta score 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:59.680 with us. And the Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels, they 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.120 came out with a great plan that said, you know what, 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:06.040 today you will play our game and the Cowboys did 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.240 for most of the game have to play that game, 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.640 and then it just came down to we got one 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.080 too many horses. And then so to Dario's point, do 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:14.960 you think that that these guys just opened up a 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:16.959 wound that was already there or do you think that 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.760 because of the game plans or because of how we've 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.959 been ahead again most games, we haven't necessarily had had 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.800 to encounter the running so much. Yeah, a lot of 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.520 people you can try. Yeah, you know, people always say 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:30.839 what Mike Tyson always says, everybody got a game plan 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:32.640 until you get pushed in the face. Yeah, you know 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:33.880 what I mean. So you can come out and try 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:35.439 it if you want to. But when you die fourteen 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.520 points and and and number four and company walking back 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.160 out on the field again, you start saying, all right, 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.479 now we got to match the point of the game. Yeah. Yeah. 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.559 And the way I see it is like, yeah, there 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:47.079 are a lot of things that need to be cleaned 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.720 up in the Cowboys played on defense and also on offense. 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.439 You know, all the penalties we talked about yesterday. But 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:55.720 I think that this game and the way that he 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:59.400 played out it actually showed case something very positive that 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.240 the Cowboys have in our building, and it's to show 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.000 opponents that this is not the same team that was 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.920 years ago and even last year that you know, when 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.559 mistakes happen, it just goes down the hill and they 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.000 can't really catch up. No, this is a team that's 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:19.439 actually fighting and going out there and building this chemistry 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:23.080 of you know, there's no laziness. Even on the defensive 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.280 side of the ball. You can see little things that 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.480 happen that are not good and need improvement, but at 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.760 the same time, you're seeing a defense that is energized 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.240 and go out there with fire and it's fighting back. 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.600 So I think that's something that the fact that they 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.520 won that game the way that they did in overtime 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:44.040 against Bill Belichick is actually going to show other teams 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.959 down the road that this is not a Cowboys team 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:50.439 to really mess around or sleep on. You know, this 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.240 is someone that whatever you do, they're gonna come back 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.480 and keep fighting for it. Yeah. That's a good point 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.840 because I think, and I would say this, when you 0:10:57.880 --> 0:10:59.120 get to a point like that where you have a 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.640 team that handles it city, well, I put that on 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.120 coaching and I put that on confidence, and I think 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.520 this team has a lot of both. Now you can 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:08.720 say what you want to say about Mike McCarthy, but 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.120 whether it's Mike McCarthy or whether it's the offensive or 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:14.199 the defensive coordinator, they're figuring out ways, even when they 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:15.920 get in a game like that where things aren't going 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:17.880 their way, to figure out how they can make the 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:19.800 adjustments they need to make in order to get themselves 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:21.959 back into the game and ultimately win it. And that's 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.160 the sign of a really good team. Let's talk about 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:26.640 Dak Prescott for a second. We know that he got 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.000 hurt there on that last player of the game. Really 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.439 great play obviously to win the game. I was happy 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.080 with the fact that they were just being aggressive and 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.319 didn't just think, hey, we're in our kicker's range, which 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.040 we heard so much this year. Don't do that. If 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.160 you got a chance, your best shot is to left 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:41.640 forward do his thing, and that's what they did. He 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:43.960 got the touchdown, but he gets to the calf injury. 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.360 How concerned are you guys about this calf injury injury? 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.520 I know they have the bye week, but that's two weeks. 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.960 Is still not a long time to recover from an injury. 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:55.680 How concerned are you I'm very concerned, like and I 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:59.880 get it. You know, there's talked throughout the building about 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.839 it's not that bad. You know, initially everybody said, it's 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.000 not Michael Gallop. Right, everyone, it's not Michael Gallop. Right. 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:06.720 Everybody wants to say that it's not Michael Gallop. I'm 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:12.440 glad they said that too, because my thing is, it's 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:18.480 the right calf, the same calf, same leg of the 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:23.680 ankle surgery. Now, I'm no doctor, no trainer. I don't 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:27.480 have a PhD. I went to a public university, barely 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.880 got out of there. But when you talk about that 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:35.360 particular play, right, Dak Prescott rolling out to his right, 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.400 delivering the ball down the field, what happens when we 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.760 got to do that against Minnesota? What happens when you 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:45.040 have to do that against Atlanta? Does that now hinder 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.440 his ability to do those things, his ability to be 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:49.680 mobile in the pocket, his ability to take off a 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.920 rowan it's time to take off and run. It may 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:56.319 not be an issue now, Maybe it's an issue two 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.760 weeks from now. Maybe it's an issue three weeks from now. 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:00.920 Pushing off that leg and a zaid I let you 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.560 speak more into this, because you have more of history 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.920 playing at that position. But everything is so critical from 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:11.360 the quarterbacks position, about balance, about having the right base 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.200 to deliver the fault, to deliver the ball accurately down 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:18.480 the football field. So if your base is off, and 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:22.480 everything that we want to do in this offense, we 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:26.040 can't do it now to me, that that worries me something, 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:29.520 and I think we don't. You can say that, you know, 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.280 we have nothing to worry about because this week we 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.880 act nothing to worry about. We had no game. But 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.040 I just think it's a little bit deeper than just 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:41.000 we don't have anything to worry about. Well, I say 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.440 this first, we don't know how how bad it is. 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:45.800 Well I don't think we'll ever find out really how 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.160 bad it is. Um, they'll get an MRI. They have 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.440 likely he has the best training staff in the league. 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.880 Trust me, I've tested most of them out. He has 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:55.480 an amazing staff and he has a lot of all 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:59.040 the resources he needs. With that said, Backdorn, what what 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.800 Jesse said. We've had two guys out with calf strains. 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:04.640 Gallop this year. We haven't seen him since week one. 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:09.240 We're going to week six to six weeks by week Okay, 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.040 So we haven't seen gallup since he had his calf 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:15.599 strain Zach Martin last year. Calf strain. Okay, he was 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:20.920 out obviously for a minute at the quarterback position. Yes 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:24.080 it was his his injured ankle, but just taking the 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.280 ankle out of it. As a quarterback, you're dropping back, 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.880 you're pushing off your left leg. As a right handed quarterback, 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:32.680 you're pushing off your left leg, and you're setting setting 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.720 your base with your right leg. Right, So that's the 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.640 leg that he has to set Now. Obviously, the ankle's fine, 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:38.680 we can set on an ankle, but now with the calf, 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.920 think about that right that is literally absorbing all your 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.840 energy from dropping back. Now that you've absorbed the energy, 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:45.560 if you set on that back leg, now you're asking 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:47.760 him to drive off of that back leg and push 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.320 and throw the ball. Okay, Now people can say, oh, 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.680 he doesn't have to push, he's strung enough arm, all right, 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:54.400 But now that comes to then to matter what did 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.400 he doing camp shoulder and shoulder and the shoulder pick 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.720 whatever you called it. Right, So if he's not pushing 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:01.720 off his leg and he's using his upper body more 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.560 to create the velocity, now he's putting that at risk. 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:06.880 So it's not even just one thing here. It's not 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:08.560 just the cat on a calf. He'll be okay, we 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.240 don't know how bad it is. It might be something 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.120 he needs a week off of, a week off of, 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.280 or he might need it multiple weeks. But even if 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.720 he is allowed to play, it plays a role because 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.520 now it puts his shoulder at a risk for potentially 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.440 injuring that simply because he's going to be trying to 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.920 create velocity off of that versus just sitting back and 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:25.960 throwing off his regular leg. Yeah, it's a really great 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:27.840 point because I think both of you guys make because 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.080 one thing begets another right when you start talking about injuries. 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.920 The body is all connected. So if you're favoring something, 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:37.080 then it puts extra pressure on something else. And how 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.760 long can that handle the extra pressure That can create 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:42.720 a lot of issues for him. And you can putting 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:46.040 the physical part aside, and I and Doc is one 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:49.520 of the most confident guys I have ever met. But 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.520 you have to take into an account the mental aspect 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.200 of it, and you can't help it sometimes, you know, 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.680 hesitation him being mindful of that and then creating that 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:02.560 extra step his mind and then throwing to the mix 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.600 what Tyler Beat is just dealing with. You know, that's 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:09.600 something else in the formula there that Dad has to 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.240 kind of keep in mind, the little struggles that he 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:16.280 has had the center position. Then it just takes away 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.320 maybe from his full focus of this thing of the football, 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:24.640 that it's actually now becoming something so natural to him. 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:26.720 You know he hasn't. You don't see him just standing 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.160 there in the pocket really thinking things through. So I 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.960 just it makes me wonder, although he's super confident, makes 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.640 me wonder, Okay, is this gonna really kind of slow 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.360 him down mentally and what he's doing in the field 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:42.040 before making a play aside from obviously what these guys 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.720 mentioned as far as the physical aspect, and I think 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:48.000 it changes. It's the game planned as well, because when 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.400 he's healthy, right, Kellen can call anything he wants to call. 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.040 But when he's not healthy, you you have to now 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:57.680 condense what you can call. Right, maybe we're not calling 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:01.000 as many rollouts. The great thing is you get Lyle 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.760 Collins back. I don't know how rusty he'll be, but 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:05.800 now you maybe have a little bit more security and 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:07.399 he doesn't have to kind of scramble that much in 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.480 the pocket. But one of his biggest throws if you 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.080 watch in the last game, right, you got the d 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.399 D in coming up. What does he do? He pulls 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:16.320 through and now he has to break out to the right. 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:19.800 Does he have that mobility to do that again? Because 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.040 we're at a point in time of the season where 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.639 there's so much film out there and now teams can say, Okay, 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:26.359 here's what we want to do, here's what we can do. 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.240 And you know you're talking about how to stop this 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.800 Cowboys offense. It's not really no way to really stop 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.639 the Cowboys offense unless you can get to four. And 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:39.200 if I know four is hampered, then you've been around 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.359 long enough. You've been around long enough, you've been around. 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:44.959 Zimmer's coming. Like he's not gonna sit back and just 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.879 say we'll just wait. That's not who he is. Like, 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:52.159 Zimm's gonna come and he's gonna bring blitches from every 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.639 single weear and he's gonna test Tyler beyandest he gonna 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:58.200 test you've been out for five weeks. I'm gonna test 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.520 to see if you're ready to go. And by the way, 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:03.439 I know what y'all said. He was Okay. I know 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:06.280 y'all said he was all right. We're gonna find out. 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.639 We're gonna find out just how okay he really is, 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:11.639 and we're gonna touch him up a little bit. I 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.359 wouldn't even And this is not I want to say 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:18.880 it's dirty, but it's it is said amongst teams. Hey 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.200 make him feel you. I ain't saying hit him late. 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.400 I ain't saying be dirty. But every time you get 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:27.080 close enough, pull a pad on him, pull a little 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.480 shot on him. Let this let him know I'm near, 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.439 I'm coming, I'm touching you. You're gonna feel my presence 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:34.720 all day long. So it's it's it's one of those 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:40.360 deals where it's it's who Yeah, all right, we're gonna 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.440 take our first break. When we come back, we're gonna 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:44.040 talk a little bit more about this offense. I actually 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:45.400 want to talk about Dak and I want to see 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.040 where you guys place him among the other quarterbacks in 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.160 the NFL this year. Because there's a lot of good 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:53.320 quarter play quarterback play happening, he's obviously among them. I 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:55.280 want to see where you guys rank him in that 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:57.480
