28
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 7: the optimism and don't have all the problems that you

29
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 7: discovered during the season, but.

30
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: Aubrey's kicking the ball and it.

31
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 7: Yeah, right, that was the worst problem we had back then,

32
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 7: was like are you gonna have a kicker? And now

33
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 7: that all resolved itself, we got so many other issues

34
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 7: to talk about.

35
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: We know so much about kickers, don't we?

36
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, we do, all right, So we're going to today

37
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 7: We're going to talk about the Cowboys versus the Lions.

38
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 7: We're going to get into the Lions offense versus the

39
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 7: Cowboys defense. Uh, let's start first though, with some injury updates.

40
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 7: What are we hearing right now about Tyron Smith?

41
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: Well, Tyron Smith he said on yesterday and with locker

42
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 3: room availability that he had, he's not calling it the stinger.

43
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 3: He's like, it's not a stinger. He's saying it his

44
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: back tightened up. He said, quote unquote, it feels better.

45
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: He said that they set him so that it would

46
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: quote unquote call down. Apparently, based upon what Tyron said

47
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: on yesterday, it has calmed down. That does provide some

48
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 3: optimism that he could possibly take the field against the

49
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 3: Detroit Lions. If you ask McCarthy and owner and general

50
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: manager Jerry Jones. They're kind of fifty to fifty on

51
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: it right now. Of course, there's still half today's practice,

52
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: you know, have a walk through tomorrow so we'll know

53
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 3: the final determination. But when it comes to Tyron, progress

54
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 3: has been made, so that's the good news there. Jonathan

55
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 3: Hankins still fifty to fifty based on what Jerry said

56
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: to One on five through the Fan on yesterday, what

57
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 3: McCarthy is saying, but McCarthy said he does have a chance.

58
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: Hankins does to take the field as well. He also

59
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: said Tyron has a chance as well, so that goes

60
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 3: to the progress that Tyron has made. Those are your

61
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: two headliners as it stands, they both have an opportunity.

62
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: We'll see how the rest of the week goes. The

63
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 3: rest of everyone else is just limited. Stefan Gilmore, he

64
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: said that he was dealing with a rib injury that

65
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: he suffered against the Miami Dolphins, but he said that

66
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: he's in, He's going to play. That's basically that's what

67
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: was echoed by Mike McCarthy. Stefan was limited on yesterday,

68
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: but they expect that Stefan Gilmore will be on the

69
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 3: field against the Detroit Lions and they're gonna need him because,

70
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 3: as Brian is going.

71
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 4: To tell you, guys, they've got some firepower in Detroit.

72
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: The rest is basically some rest days, veteran rest days,

73
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 3: guys limited. We had two transactions this morning that came

74
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 3: in a few minutes before the show kicked off. Rashaan

75
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: Evans has been waived by the Cowboys to make room

76
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 3: for the activation of Matt will Let's go. So, well,

77
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: let's go is now back from ir with hit that

78
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: shoulder injury there. I know he's going to get into

79
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: it in a moment, but yeah, so linebacker depth is

80
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 3: now much more of a concern with Rashaan Evans being

81
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: sent to waivers. And for those that don't know now,

82
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: at this point of the season, every single person that's

83
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: waived goes to the waiver wire and can't be claimed.

84
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: And if he's not claimed, then he'll be a free agent.

85
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: He can sound whatever he wants. But well, let's go

86
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: is back and we'll see if his shoulders can allow

87
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: him to stay on the field this time. But I

88
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: think it's one of the things with the Cowboys saw

89
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: the pressure put on Dak Prescott in the absence of

90
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: Tyrone Smith and said, Okay, yeah, Matt, come on up

91
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: and let's see what you.

92
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 4: Got a little confused on the Rashawn Evans move. I mean,

93
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: here's my thing.

94
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 7: When when you're starving, do you like turn down saltine crackers?

95
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 4: Like is it?

96
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 7: Like?

97
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: No, They're delicious everything, everything's delicious, right, And I'm like, okay,

98
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 3: so linebackers the position very good?

99
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: Right?

100
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 8: Literally?

101
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 7: Like you like like it's like, you know, I mean,

102
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 7: I just I don't understand that, Brian, what have you

103
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 7: seen in Rashon Evans? I guess what have you seen

104
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 7: from Rashaan Evans that may suggest that maybe he's just

105
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 7: not the answer for them? And they're like, he's a part,

106
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 7: he's too much a part of the problem, you know.

107
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 9: I the times he did play, I think that they

108
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 9: were a little bit worried about. And it's been a

109
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 9: struggle for the linebackers or the guys that have played.

110
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 9: It's been about awareness. It's about when you when you play,

111
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 9: are you seeing everything? Are you reacting the right way?

112
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 9: Are you Can we trust you to play coverages? Can

113
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 9: we trust you to play downhill? Can we trust you

114
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 9: to fill when you have to fill? I think they're

115
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 9: having some really struggles with that right now, and you know,

116
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 9: then they really don't have an answer. They tried their answer.

117
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 9: Their best shot at this was trying to get Shack Lennard.

118
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 9: That was their best shot at it and to try

119
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 9: and maybe help the situation. But I think the thing

120
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 9: with Evans is that when they put him in there,

121
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 9: they they obviously did not like what they saw the

122
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 9: way that he played at all the things I mentioned,

123
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 9: you know, I mean, he didn't get a whole lot

124
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 9: of chances to play, but the ones that he did play,

125
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 9: you know, you kind of felt like though that here's

126
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,679
Speaker 9: a guy that in his career had been a difference

127
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 9: maker in some teams. For this one though, wasn't nearly

128
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 9: around the ball near enough, wasn't nearly finishing blocks like

129
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 9: he needed or it's going to be finishing plays like

130
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 9: he needed to finish. And they deemed him as the

131
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 9: fifty third guy, which is surprising to me, but considering that,

132
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 9: I didn't think.

133
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 2: He was that bad of a player.

134
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 9: But their thoughts and my thoughts are totally different a

135
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 9: lot of times, and so uh, you know, they they

136
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 9: move on that way, but it does it definitely weakens

137
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 9: what they're trying to do at least from a depth standpoint,

138
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 9: you know, And we need to probably go back and

139
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 9: look at the special team stuff. Was Evans helping you

140
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 9: enough on special teams to you know if if if

141
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 9: he was, I guarantee a bones fossil would have been

142
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 9: standing at at Will's door saying no, no, you can't

143
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 9: do this.

144
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: I need this guy.

145
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 9: So obviously everything that about that tells him just to

146
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 9: move on from him.

147
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think there are probably That's the thing we

148
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 7: have to always remember is the amount of time that

149
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 7: the coaches are spending with these players is substantially more

150
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 7: than what we see.

151
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 4: Just on the field when we watch games and the

152
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 4: room stuff. Yeah, it's all practice stuff. Does you have

153
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 4: the right practice habits? Yeah?

154
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 7: Like, there are lots of things about and I'm not

155
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 7: saying he doesn't. All I'm saying is a lot more.

156
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: It's clues. It's clues. It's clues.

157
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 9: And I've been a part of scouting staffs for thirteen

158
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 9: years and exactly everything you just said is exactly true.

159
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: You know it.

160
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 9: There's things that day's coaches like, would they get to

161
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 9: a point where they do not want a.

162
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: Player regardless of what he's doing regardless.

163
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: Of what he's doing.

164
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 9: As a personal guy, you just have to say, Okay, coach,

165
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 9: you got it because.

166
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 7: The road right the personnel guys like he can play yeah,

167
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 7: and the coaches like I can't coach him.

168
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: And that's the thing.

169
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 9: You never want to put a player bring a player

170
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 9: to a coach that doesn't want to coaching. It's a

171
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 9: it's a bad mix right there. And you know, obviously

172
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 9: he did not do enough for what they were asking

173
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 9: him to do on the field. You as a player

174
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 9: to be part of this fifty three man roster. I

175
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 9: say something about Hankins real quick if I could. The

176
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 9: thing they're struggling with right now with Hankins is he's

177
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 9: a three hundred and thirty pound man with a high

178
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 9: ankle sprain.

179
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: That's a problem. That's a problem.

180
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 9: Usually sometimes you get lighter guys. It's a little bit

181
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 9: more of a quicker fix. And that's what they're working

182
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 9: through right now. They're hopeful, they're hopeful on Smith, but

183
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 9: they're hopeful on Hankins as well. But the problem is

184
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,239
Speaker 9: have his size and taking on double teams, the lateral

185
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 9: agility and all those things, those are all weighing into them.

186
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 9: Trying to get him ready to practice right now or

187
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 9: to excuse me to play. You know, are they making

188
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 9: progress like Patrick said, Yes, are they? But is it

189
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 9: going to take more time? We'll see, We'll see. But

190
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 9: right now that's the biggest issue. They're dealing with his

191
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 9: size and they want to make sure that he has

192
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 9: he's playing on both both feet. You know, you don't

193
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 9: want to be a defensive tackle and playing on one leg.

194
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: That's a problem.

195
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 9: I want to ask you another question here real quick, guys,

196
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 9: before we get into this, how much you think Mazzie

197
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 9: Smith ways.

198
00:08:45,720 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 7: If you had to guess, I would guess three.

199
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 9: Two ninety three. See, this is the problem now, and

200
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 9: I'm bringing up during the season. He's lost forty pounds.

201
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 4: During the season.

202
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: He's three hundred and thirty.

203
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 9: Pounds coming out of at A Michigan and we wonder,

204
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 9: you know, we wonder I was visiting.

205
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 4: With he has a lot of weight to lose.

206
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 9: He's lost weight along the way. Because we've seen other

207
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 9: guys in this. You know, Tank is a guy you

208
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 9: talk to Tank, what he eats is very very regimented.

209
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 9: You know, you got guys, uh oh, so Diggy's what up?

210
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 9: Very regimented the way he eats, you know, not with me.

211
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 9: Oh they're standing there waiting for the burgers, you know,

212
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 9: with the fries that are excellent at this facility, you know,

213
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 9: kind of going to the salad bar, tater tots, Yeah that's.

214
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 2: Here, you know, and I'm not.

215
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 9: I was just talking to some folks about it, and

216
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 9: I said, why does Mazzi look smaller on tape? He

217
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 9: doesn't have the big rear anymore and stuff like that.

218
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 9: He goes, No, he's down, he's down. He's lost about

219
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 9: forty pounds. So you wonder they're asking him to play

220
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 9: a role for Hankins, in a role where he's we're like,

221
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 9: really a three technique. And so that's that's part of

222
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 9: what we're dealing with right now. We're dealing with being

223
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 9: laid off the ball. But we're not the player we

224
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 9: drafted coming out of Michigan that was three hundred and

225
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 9: thirty pounds. You know, you get a better dietitian program

226
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 9: or whatever, but you lose forty pounds when you're a

227
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 9: one technique. That's you're not a one technique playing at

228
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 9: two hundred and ninety three pounds.

229
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 8: But also, just to be clear.

230
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 2: And I'm not making excuses for it.

231
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, but this is a coach decision.

232
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: This is like the coach player decision.

233
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 10: Well, what I've been told, and I'm not talking about

234
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 10: Mazi specifically, I'm talking about different players what I've been told.

235
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 10: I mean, there is a certain weight that you're required

236
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 10: to be, depending on what they're asking you to be.

237
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 10: If you're over under that weight when they have to

238
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 10: weigh every week, they get fine, Yeah, oh no, it

239
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 10: has to be exactly the weight that you're supposed to be.

240
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 10: So that just leads me to think this is the

241
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 10: weight that they're asking to be and is not otherwise. Yeah,

242
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 10: they wouldn't have him played. I mean, that's a lot

243
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 10: of weight to lose.

244
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: Well, you think about what his responsibility is.

245
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 9: And we talked about him on the draft show for

246
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 9: an up and you know, as we've gone through the

247
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 9: year here and I'm not trying to make excuses for

248
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 9: the guy again, I really am not.

249
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 2: He's a different player. Yeah, he's a different player at

250
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: two ninety three as he is the three thirty.

251
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this.

252
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 7: Would they have thought that maybe getting him at a

253
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 7: smaller weight would help.

254
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 4: With his get Yeah.

255
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 7: Right now, he's not getting up as fast as you

256
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 7: wanted to.

257
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 4: But I would think that's more of a just reaction

258
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 4: than it is.

259
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: Three twelve yeah, right, three twelve, three fifteen.

260
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 9: I mean if you maybe kick out, you know, kick

261
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 9: off eight to ten pounds and he's already quick. But

262
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 9: you know it's just that reaction, right, you know, it's

263
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 9: the snap of the ball and his hands are still

264
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 9: on the ground and everybody's moving. That's the thing that

265
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 9: is correct that with lower weight. Yeah, no, it's but

266
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 9: maybe he's thinking like, oh I for movement, how I

267
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 9: get up the field, be quicker and all that when

268
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 9: he when he gets off the ball, he can play

269
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 9: football well for you. But I think our vision of

270
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 9: the player is and I'm watching him on tape and

271
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 9: I'm wondering. I'm like, does he looks smaller?

272
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 2: You know?

273
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 9: And I ask, and this is what I hear. And

274
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 9: so now all of a sudden you're thinking this is

275
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 9: a different football player. I'm not looking at it. I'm

276
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 9: not looking at Hankins. I'm looking at oh so Dighy's

277
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 9: is what I'm looking at. Or I'm looking at you know,

278
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 9: I'm looking at a smaller player. That's asked to play

279
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 9: as a run stopper. So when you talk about Hankins

280
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 9: and how important he is, and there's a lot of

281
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 9: things that go into this defense and a lot of

282
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 9: questions about it right now, to be honest with you.

283
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 3: It makes me wonder thinking about or having this conversation.

284
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: First person that pops in my head is Tyrone Crawford.

285
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 3: Now where you know the Cowboys, That coaching staff had him,

286
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 3: They pop him inside, they asked him to put on weight,

287
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: move him outside, he have to ship away. That was

288
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 3: kind of a yo yo situation regularly regularly.

289
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:06,359
Speaker 4: Yeah.

290
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 3: So and that then takes me back to training camp

291
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 3: this h this past summer wherein we saw a lot

292
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 3: of Mazzie Smith packages side by side with Jonathan Hankins,

293
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 3: which kind of makes me wonder if their plan, at

294
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: least this year was to say, Okay, well, we're going

295
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 3: to see how much we can play you alongside Hankins.

296
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 4: Maybe drop some of that weight.

297
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: But that's a lot of package to drop forty, So

298
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 3: that that does kind of pigeonhole him at the three

299
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 3: because you're not playing zero in one, you know, unless

300
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: your Michael, Yeah, your Michael, you can do zero and

301
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 3: one you can move on past.

302
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 7: But when you're trying to stop running, when when you're

303
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 7: ready to have an issue, you're not going to hold

304
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 7: up pounds on you.

305
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: You're already small. You're already kind of small up front.

306
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 9: And one of the things, and maybe one of these

307
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 9: things too, like Ambar says, is like, Okay, maybe we

308
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 9: want to get him on the field more with Hankings,

309
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 9: And so how do you get him on the field

310
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 9: more with Hanks?

311
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: You play him as a traditional three. They turn him

312
00:13:59,120 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: into a three.

313
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 9: But I haven't heard anybody come out and say we're

314
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 9: going to start working Mozzie Moore as a three technique.

315
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, he's got this year's come up.

316
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 9: Sometimes these players they lose weight through the year because

317
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 9: they're not used to playing seventeen games and having a

318
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 9: whole training camp, and naturally they just get beat down

319
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 9: and they can't. But that's a lot yeahs.

320
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 3: And they added.

321
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 8: You have to purposely run of those those because.

322
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 3: The added problem is if I was a bitten man,

323
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 3: and but if I'm a bitting man, I don't think

324
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 3: Jonathan Hankins plays in this game. It's obviously possible, but

325
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 3: I just don't feel like he plays in this game.

326
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 3: I feel like he's too valuable for what they need

327
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 3: to do in the playoffs. So they're kind of at

328
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 3: a situation where, yeah, they want it, Yeah, they don't

329
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: want to back into the playoffs, so they want to

330
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 3: win these games, but they don't want to win these

331
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 3: games at the risk of hurting the possible playoff run.

332
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 3: And Carl Davis, bless his heart, did not look great.

333
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 3: Did not look great. So if we got a forty

334
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 3: pounds lighter Mazzi plus Carl Davis not looking great, Jonathan

335
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 3: Hankins likely not playing this particular week, that you have

336
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 3: an issue at nose tackle, and now you just sent

337
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 3: the linebacker packing. So now you have depth issue at

338
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 3: linebacker unless you're one, and I'm not one. Unless you're

339
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: one who thinks Buddy Johnson's going to come off the

340
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 3: practice squad and and be you know, Bobby Wagner, you

341
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 3: got some issues there as well. So some things to

342
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 3: figure out for the Cowboys.

343
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 10: A name out there maybe they're looking at possibly to

344
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 10: bring in because.

345
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 9: This, you know, not this not this late in the year.

346
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 9: I wish that they would. I wish you've got the

347
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 9: playoffs they'd let you take somebody off somebody's team, right,

348
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 9: not the playoffs like travel baseball, Like you beat somebody

349
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 9: in a tournament, you get we can to take one.

350
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 3: Of their pot allow that that would be not I

351
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 3: really think it's rightful.

352
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 4: I think it's something that they should consider.

353
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

354
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: It doesn't hurt anything, but it helps the competitive competitiveness

355
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 3: of the playoffs.

356
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 7: Although knowing how the Eagles are, everybody you know they are,

357
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 7: they going they don't mind if you get anybody and

358
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 7: everybody you if.

359
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 9: You get the if you get the buye, you don't

360
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 9: get to take a guy.

361
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 4: Okay, good, I like that. I like that. So they

362
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 4: would be rooting for the Eagles to get the BUYO.

363
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, anybody you got a five? No guy? Right a Right,

364

Speaker 11: let's take our first break when we come back. We're

365
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 11: gonna dive into the Detroit offense. Man, there's some there's

366
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 11: some problems. Yeah, we're gonna talk about it. Talk about

Speaker 11: going into this weekend. We'll back Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

369
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 12: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

370
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 12: Cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the Big Cat repellent he bought

371
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 12: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

372
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 12: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

373
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 12: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

374
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 12: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

375
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 12: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

376
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 12: toss her the backpack with the beef stew at and

377
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,760

426
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 2: place to go have a beer. It is.

427
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 9: I mean, I've we've done a like we do our

428

Speaker 9: beer and a burger, and it's a good place to go.

431
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,119

00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,320

433
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,560

435
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,120

Speaker 7: This is the second segment of the break. We'll live

441
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 7: from that WBC Mortgage studios at the Star In. This

442

Speaker 7: segment's brought to you by blockchain dot Com. All right,

443
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 7: let's go. Uh, let's start going to see you right. Offense,

444
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 7: and I guess I'm gonna ask you a big picture question.

445
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,479
Speaker 7: You take it where you want to take it. What

446
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 7: does this offense do best? And where are they most challenged?

447
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 2: I think actually where they're the best?

448
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 9: Is there a built hand It's hard to say because

449
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 9: I'm on, I'm on, Rod Saint Brown is a really

450
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 9: talented player and so he could put a lot of

451
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 9: pressure on you catching the football. I'm gonna start with

452
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 9: these backs because I kind of feel like though that

453
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 9: there's a lot of people that gave the Lions a

454
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 9: lot of.

455
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 2: Grief for drafting Jamar.

456
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 9: Gibbs where they got him, and then you look at him,

457
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 9: Gibbs and David Montgomery. These are quality backs, I mean

458
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 9: quality backs, and you look like last week what you

459
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 9: had to deal with with the Dolphins, you're kind of

460
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 9: dealing with the same kind of thing this week with

461
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 9: But the thing with Gibbs, he is an amazing kid.

462
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 9: Started his career at Georgia Tech and then went to Alabama.

463
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 9: He can wore multiple hats as a player. You can

464
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 9: hand it to them, you can throw it to him.

465
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 9: I will give you a little key though. When they're

466
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 9: under center, they're going to run the football. That's their

467
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 9: thing they do. They're one of the they're one of

468
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 9: the they're one of the when you look at the metrics,

469
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 9: and the metrics tell you when you watch the tape

470
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 9: that when Golf gets in gets under center, they're probably

471
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 9: going to hand the ball to one of these backs.

472
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 9: So Cowboys, if you're in that mode, you know there's

473
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 9: your key right there. Check it out. I'm sure they

474
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 9: know that just as well as I do. But yeah,

475
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 9: this team does not run the ball all that much

476
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 9: out of shotgun. But when they do hand it to

477
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 9: these guys, and I think one they want to do

478
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 9: is they want to play under centers because they want

479
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 9: to put Gibbs as far back.

480
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 2: As they can and then hand it to him.

481
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 4: And then let it already running.

482
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 9: When he's already running and so I mean he's when

483
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 9: he runs, it's like he's on ice skates. I mean

484
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 9: I watch a lot of Dallas Stars hockey, and he

485
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 9: just kind of like he's one of these guys just

486
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 9: going up the ice the way he plays. But he's

487
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 9: got home run speed. He's the feel for the crease,

488
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 9: he can hit it. He could set up the blockers,

489
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 9: he gain an angle and then man, he could just

490
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 9: hit it and go his hands. He's got receiver like hands.

491
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 9: So he's really a weapon in all areas right here.

492
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 9: And he's a you know, he's just that kind of

493
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 9: that qual you have a player. Montgomery doesn't have the

494
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 9: flash of Gibbs, but he's a chain mover, you know,

495
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 9: is that you hand him the ball and it's next thing.

496
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 4: You know, it's it's.

497
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 9: Second and six and he's getting seven. It's second in five,

498
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 9: he's getting six. He's he's just that kind of player.

499
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 9: He's really good after contact too. Actually, both these guys

500
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 9: are really really good after contact, Like you hit them

501
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 9: and then they find a way to gain extra yards.

502
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 9: But the balance, the vision, you know, both of these

503
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 9: guys have really are impressive players, and their line does

504
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 9: a really good job where they do struggle is I

505
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 9: think with some of their past protection stuff. I don't

506
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 9: think the right side of actually be the left side

507
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 9: of their offensive line is particularly a strength of theirs.

508
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 9: But as run blockers, man, they do a good job.

509
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 9: Frank Ragnow the center man, I had problems with him

510
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 9: coming out of Arkansas, and I was it's kind of

511
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 9: like it reminded me of Travis Frederick. I'm like, Wow,

512
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 9: you took a guy in the first round.

513
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: Prove me wrong. He proved me way wrong.

514
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 9: The way this guy the movement, skills, agility, all that stuff.

515
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 9: But if they've got a problem, it's going to be

516
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,719
Speaker 9: on there on that left side with Jonah Jackson and

517
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 9: Taylor Decker, I think are the areas that you might

518
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,479
Speaker 9: need to focus on if you're going after pass rushing.

519
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 7: Right, I was looking at the metrics for this team.

520
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 7: They are right now fifth in passing. Yeah, they are

521
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 7: also third in rushing, So across the board, whether they're

522
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 7: throwing or run the ball, they are very potent and

523
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 7: they can put up a lot of yards on you.

524
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 7: Let's focus in on the passing for a second. First,

525
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 7: there are two guys that I want you to give

526
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 7: us a scouting report on huh Aman Ross Saint Brown

527
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 7: you already mentioned, and then Sam Laporta, the rookie tight end.

528
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 9: Okay, well, okay, Saint Brown is This is how I

529
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 9: would describe him. He's the kind of receiver who doesn't

530
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 9: let the ball hit the turf when it comes to is,

531
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 9: when it comes to him and it hits his hands,

532
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 9: it's not gonna hit the ground. I mean, he is

533
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 9: one of the most consistent when you start to talk

534
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 9: about ball skills of receivers that I've seen. The attention

535
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 9: to detail that he plays with or outstanding. He's super

536
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 9: competitive and you could tell with the way he plays

537
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 9: he really loves the game. It's important to him the

538
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 9: way he plays and his detail is like when you

539
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 9: when he runs routes, it's very heavy of just that.

540
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 9: Like I was talking about the detail foot points where

541
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 9: he needs to be.

542
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 2: There's just no wasted motion.

543
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 9: When he plays, and he can put a defensive back

544
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 9: in an area where he wants and take advantage of that.

545
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 9: So'll run at you, he'll move you, and now you're

546
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 9: in trouble. And then he goes off his way and

547
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 9: he'll go catch the football. So he's got strength in

548
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 9: his hands, he's got quickness, he's he's a he's a

549
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 9: quality player for for them.

550
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 2: And Laporta the question, and this is a this came

551
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 2: up on draft day.

552
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 9: So if you're listening to the Dallas Cowboys dot Com

553
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 9: the Draft show, we were talking about this because late

554
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 9: in the process, late in the process, we were hearing

555
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 9: about Sam Laporta tight end from Iowa, that maybe the

556
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,239
Speaker 9: Cowboys would select him in the first round. We were

557
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 9: all like, oh wow, okay, that's interesting. So and just

558
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 9: kind of visit with people post draft about him. I

559
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 9: was like, man, I was hearing whispers.

560
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 2: About this tight end.

561
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 9: Coach and head coach really liked Sam Laporta a lot.

562
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 9: I mean, they were on that. That was something that

563
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 9: give my credit, you know, give under Wells a lot

564
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 9: of credit. They had a vision for what this player

565
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 9: potentially could be. And as crazy as that might have

566
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 9: sounded back then, it might have been a really wise

567
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 9: choice to take to take this guy in the first

568
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 9: round because he's a thick, compact kind of guy, but

569
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 9: his lower body power is excellent. He's got to burst

570
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 9: off the ball, he creates separation.

571
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 2: He's got foot.

572
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 9: Speed, physicality, toughness, in the routes, mismatch player, he's got strength,

573
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 9: he's got speeds off handed, he's got the catch radius.

574
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 9: He wins on contested balls. He has had some drops

575
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 9: this year. There were a couple that I saw in

576
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 9: the games I watched. Matter of fact, the Bears game

577
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,479
Speaker 9: is a kind of a fun game to watch. They

578
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 9: really didn't. I think it has something to do again

579
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 9: with with golf, playing outside and cold. It's kind of

580
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 9: his kryptonite. And the Bears caught him in one of

581
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 9: those games and he wasn't as good as he needed

582
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 9: to be.

583
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 2: But they've had.

584
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 9: Some drops with Laporta, but most of everything nine touchdowns

585
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 9: and he's kind of got solid effort desires or run blocker.

586
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 9: I think he's going to need to improve his sustain

587
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 9: a little bit. But this is a guy's a weapon.

588
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 9: I mean, he really is a weapon when you watch

589
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 9: him when you run the routes and they throw him

590
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 9: the ball.

591
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 7: So looking at the rushing attack. As I said before,

592
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 7: they're third in rushing in the NFL.

593
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 4: Check this out.

594
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 7: In seven of the last eight games they've played this season,

595
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 7: they have one hundred and forty plus rushing yards.

596
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 4: This is a potent running offense.

597
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

598
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 7: So here's a question that I have for you, guys,

599
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 7: because in this last game with the Cowboys played, they

600
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 7: held they held moster to forty six yards, they held

601
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 7: a change to twenty four yards.

602
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 4: My question for you is what does.

603
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 7: That tell you about the Cowboys rush defense if anything?

604
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 4: And I want to hear from everybody on this, but

605
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 4: go ahead.

606
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 2: I've talked too much, Patrick, go ahead.

607
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 4: No. I was going to say.

608
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 3: It kind of goes back to a couple of weeks

609
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 3: ago when I said, this Cowboys team has shown me

610
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 3: that they can stop the opponent's run. It's just a

611
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 3: matter of like Brian said yesterday, it's the details. It's

612
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 3: it's execution. It's first of all, going in with the

613
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 3: correct mindset and then not allowing one big game or

614
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 3: something like that to demoralize you and just keep these

615
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 3: guys in front of you, play sideline the sideline. And

616
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 3: as long as you can do that, then you can

617
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 3: keep guys like most It contained. You can keep guys

618
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 3: like a prime in that moment Austin Eckler contained. And

619
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 3: I mean talk about a chain for example, that's one

620
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 3: of the shiftier, speedier running backs. And for the at

621
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 3: least the first half of the season. He was a

622
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 3: hit one of the headliners for the Dolphins offense. He

623
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 3: was an afterthought against the Cowboys run rushing defense on

624
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 3: a couple of days ago on Sunday. So, I mean

625
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,719
Speaker 3: that tells me they have the ability to do it

626
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: even with a guy like Jonathan Hankins injured. It's just

627
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 3: it's commitment to it. It's you know, staying focused on

628
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 3: the details and just making sure that everybody plays their

629
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 3: role in a Texas that way. And you can do that.

630
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 3: So I'm not of the mindset that, oh, well Hankins

631
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 3: is out and oh who is the world? No, I've

632
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 3: seen this team be able to stop with Hankins and

633
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 3: without Hankins. It's just mindset, mindset, stay committed, play your

634
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 3: play your lanes, and focus on the details.

635
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 9: They handle the perimeter run really well in the Miami game. Yeah,

636
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 9: and so but what you have to worry about with

637
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 9: this group, it's a little bit more inside and outside.

638
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 9: You know, they're they're gonna if they they're going this

639
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 9: line is gonna come off. They're gonna come off and

640
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 9: zone and they're gonna double and then they're gonna push

641
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 9: and they're gonna get second level. And like Patrick's talking

642
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 9: about though, the reason the Cowboys play, they play with

643
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 9: great discipline. The other day when you watch the Ravens play.

644
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 9: Somebody we're talking to is Aisham Wurson and I were

645
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 9: talking about this and she goes, why, I really admire

646
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 9: the way the Ravens play.

647
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 2: And I don't think the Ravens get enough credit for

648
00:28:58,720 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 2: how physical.

649
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 9: They give them credit for about physical and the players

650
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 9: they have give credit for how discipline they play and

651
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 9: they don't get out of place, and that, you know,

652
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 9: to be really good in run defense, like Patrick saying,

653
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 9: you have to have fits. You have to have you

654
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 9: have to have your your nickel coming down. You have

655
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,719
Speaker 9: to have your safety coming down. You have to have

656
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 9: your your edges like Tank and those guys holding up, pushing,

657
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 9: you know, getting guys up the field, not letting them

658
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 9: get around the corner. You know that that's the challenge

659
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 9: again this week. I mean, these guys are gonna they're

660
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 9: going to test the edges on you. And but these

661
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 9: guys I think are better running the ball inside than

662
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 9: what the Dolphins were.

663
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 2: That's gonna be the challenge for you.

664
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 10: Right there, we've seen improvement for sure, but to me,

665
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 10: it's always like kind of like.

666
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 8: A slippery slope where.

667
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 10: You can't have those games and they've come out with wins.

668
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 10: Even though teams have ran the ball very well, there

669
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 10: have been games where the Colways end up winning the

670
00:29:54,920 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 10: game regardless, but we've seen those games where they the

671
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 10: running back can escape and then there it goes. And

672
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 10: then now that kind of becomes the trend of the

673
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 10: game and it's hard to stop it. So that's why

674
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 10: I call it a slippery slope because as well as

675
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 10: soon as sometimes they allow one big play, two big play,

676
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 10: then it just carries on throughout the whole game and

677
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 10: it happens like that, and then mistakes start happening. Also,

678
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 10: you talked about playing a clean game, penalties and those

679
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 10: things where you know at key moments, and that goes

680
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 10: on both sides of the ball. Honestly, it's not just

681
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 10: on the defense offense as well. But I think the

682
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 10: advantage here and I know you'll do the scouting report

683
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 10: tomorrow for the defense, but I think the advantage here

684
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 10: is one they're playing at home and to.

685
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 8: The offense. Cowboys offense, I.

686
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 10: Think they should be able to play better and score

687
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 10: more points than they have the last two weeks, which

688
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 10: will then help the defense as well. That's one of

689
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 10: the things you can This defense has been getting tired,

690
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 10: and they've been holding on there for dear life and

691
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 10: making it happen. But then at the end of the day,

692
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 10: the offense hasn't pulled their part of the game.

693
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 3: When it comes to a guy like Jamior Gibbs especially,

694
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 3: and I'm looking at the linebackers for this one, you

695
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 3: got to try to get him at the line of

696
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 3: scrimmage as often as passe quick like, yes, quickly, because

697
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 3: if he if he already gets past the first level

698
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 3: and he has a lane to the second level and

699
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 3: it's him versus your linebacker, your linebacker is in dire

700
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 3: straits immediately because he's one plant direction change and it's

701
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 3: so difficult to square him up. So you gotta at least,

702
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 3: you know, for the defensive line. Obviously you want that

703
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 3: tackle at or behind the line of scrimmage, but worst case,

704
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 3: just disrupt him and give your linebacker a chance, because

705
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 3: if it is, if it's a clean lane and he's

706
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 3: staring at at your linebacker coming full speed, if you

707
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 3: try to score up, where do you go because fake left,

708
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 3: go right, and you're done. We just saw the highlight

709
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,959
Speaker 3: yesterday on Twitter. Oh my god, that man has a family.

710
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 3: He laid a grown man down with one move. So careful.

711
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 3: That's Jamiir Gibbs's game. If you let him at the

712
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 3: second level, your linebackers are in trump.

713
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

714
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 7: One of the things I do take from that game

715
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 7: against the Dolphins is Mostert and Hn are both speed guys.

716
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 4: There are Jamir Gibbs is also a speed guy.

717
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 7: Yes, And so the hope is that what they did

718
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 7: in that game, maybe they can bottle him up in

719
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 7: the same way and the speed won't affect him in

720
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 7: the same way. I will say that Gibbs, in my opinion,

721
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 7: is a little shiftier than I of those other two backs.

722
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 7: But that all being said, like, this is going to

723
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,239
Speaker 7: be a challenge, and I don't care how you how

724
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 7: you dice it up.

725
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 4: This is going to be a challenge trying to stop

726
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 4: Gibbs and Montgomery.

727
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 2: Score forty and they don't run the ball.

728
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 4: It's a good point.

729
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 2: You can't do that. Bar's playing score forty and they

730
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: won't run the ball.

731
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 4: All right, let's take our final break.

732
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 7: Will we come back we come back, will jump into

733
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 7: the Dallas defense. I actually want to talk a little

734
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 7: bit about some of the some specific players, particularly some

735
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 7: of the safeties and the linebackers. We'll talk about that

736
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 7: when we come back to this Dallas Cowboys dot com Radio.

737
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 12: Todd thought it would be secure to jog and the

738
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 12: cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he

739
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 12: bought online was reliable and now to trying to be

740
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 12: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

741
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 12: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

742
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 12: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

743
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 12: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

744
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 12: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

745
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 12: T five G. Faster, reliable, secure, It's not complicated.

746
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,160

787
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 7: Jon Us, it's the final segment of the break Let's

788
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 7: talk about the Dallas defense. I noticed something as I

789
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 7: was going through and looking at some well, something triggered.

790
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 4: I don't even remember what it was, but.

791
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 7: I started thinking, I wonder if the Cowboys made any

792
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 7: changes to who was playing and how much they were

793
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 7: playing between the Baltimore mean Sorry, the Bills game and

794
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 7: then looking at the Miami game.

795
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 9: Say that once more time, I got a text that

796
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 9: it confused me quick, So player participation.

797
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 7: I wanted to look at player participation in the Bills

798
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 7: game versus the Miami Dolphins game, particularly at the safety

799
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 7: and linebacker position, because seeing how much better they played

800
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 7: in Miami, my thought was.

801
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 4: Did they use people less or more? And I saw

802
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 4: something very very interesting.

803
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 7: Dmoon Clark the Buffalo game played ninety two point three

804
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 7: percent of the snaps in the Miami game, however, he

805
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 7: only played sixty seven point two percent of the snaps.

806
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 7: You look at Marquise Bell in the Buffalo game seventy

807
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 7: five point four percent of the snaps in the Dolphins

808
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 7: game forty six point nine percent of the snap So

809
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 7: both of them dropped off a significant amount. On the

810
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 7: flip side of that, Donovan Wilson in the Bills game

811
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 7: sixty nine point two percent of the plays in the

812
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 7: Miami game ninety eight point four percent, so almost a

813
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 7: complete game for him.

814
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: Yep.

815
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 4: And by the way, I don't know that Donovan had

816
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 4: a great game, but the run defense was better.

817
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 7: My question is, do you think that this was just

818
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 7: by a chance or do you think they actively were

819
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 7: like those two linebackers have to be on the field

820
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 7: less for us to be better at run defense.

821
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 2: You're gonna go after one of the You're gonna go

822
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 2: after these guys a little bit.

823
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 4: Well, I know it's a hard question.

824
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 9: It's it's it's a fair question. Yeah, I think this

825
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 9: is weird. I think Donovan Wilson is a good run player.

826
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 9: I think he struggles seeing in the pass, but he's

827
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 9: so physical and when you play him close to the

828
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 9: line of scrimmage and ask, now, okay, we've seen some

829
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 9: Arizona game was a crazy angle next thing, you know,

830
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 9: it's out the gate kind of thing. But I think overall,

831
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 9: you put him near the ball or around the ball,

832
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 9: or let him see the ball, he is going to

833
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 9: go get the ball. And I do feel like there's

834
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 9: some things I think Bell is trying his best. I

835
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 9: think they're asking Bell to play at a superhuman level,

836
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 9: and I think he's played his best. I mean that's

837
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 9: it's not like a compliment Sandwich there, but it's really not.

838
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 9: I do really feel like that he's you know, when

839
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 9: he's down there in the box, he could play the

840
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 9: run as well. But then again, his size limits when

841
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 9: people get up on him. And I think with with

842
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 9: with Clark, just to see the instincts, I just don't

843
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 9: and I don't. And we talk about the linebackers that

844
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 9: have been able to the great ones around here. You

845
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,439
Speaker 9: know that that wins the Dexter coke Les, the just.

846
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 2: Name them all, Sean Lee's. I mean, they see.

847
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 9: The formation and they know where the ball's going and

848
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 9: they and they just go and they don't. They have

849
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 9: trouble getting off blocks. And that's the thing about it.

850
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 9: You when you don't get off blocks where Wilson will

851
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 9: run and get away from blocks, you know they'll run.

852
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 9: And that's where Belle needs to take more of it.

853
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 9: He needs to run away, get away from those blocks, don't.

854
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 2: Take them on. So I think they said, hey.

855
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 9: We're going to have to do something different because when

856
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 9: they do get hooked up on these blocks, we're having

857
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 9: problems stop in the run. And they're trying to limit

858
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 9: the number of times they have to face a three

859
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 9: hundred and eighteen pound man being in their face the

860
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 9: whole day.

861
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

862
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, let's be honest here, no one's ever

863
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 3: picked Donathan Wilson as your best cover guy. As far

864
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 3: as your safety United, that's not history history. Yeah, his

865
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 3: strength is playing forward and that could be in blitz packages,

866
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 3: it could be in run defense things like that. That's

867
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,919
Speaker 3: what he's the heat seeking missile. Like Brian said, see ball,

868
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 3: get ball, and that ramping him up likely helped you

869
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 3: on the run defense. And of course like that we

870
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,439
Speaker 3: talked about when it comes to Marquise Bell for its

871
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 3: as exceptional as he's played, particularly in the context of

872
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 3: what he's been asked to do, you give up size

873
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 3: for that speed. But Donovan Wilson, you're not giving up

874
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 3: that size. Donald is a unit, right, So you have

875
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 3: a guy who can not only disengage blocks, but he

876
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 3: rarely is locked up on the block in the first place,

877
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 3: he's moving around it, he's going through it. And then

878
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 3: when it comes to the Moon Clark, we've seen flashes

879
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 3: and we've seen games where he's played well, but you've

880
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 3: seen games where he's kind of dipped as well. So

881
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 3: for me and Demon, it's the lack of consistency that's

882
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 3: kind of plaguing him at the moment. And I think

883
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 3: that his development is kind of being stared just a

884
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 3: bit by LV not being on the field because when

885
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 3: he and LV we on the field together, you saw

886
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 3: him playing off of LV a lot. You saw those

887
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 3: having those who having a lot of conversations, and they

888
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 3: still do because LV is his biggest mentor here outside

889
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 3: of Dan Quinn and the coaching staff. But the absence

890
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 3: of LVE it has layers to it. So you missed

891
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 3: that player on the field, but you also miss what

892
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 3: his impact is to a younger guy like Demon Clark.

893
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 3: So with Clark not being consistent enough and then the

894
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 3: size that you're giving up on Bail and Bell gets

895
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 3: locked up in blocks, sometimes it just makes sense that

896
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 3: you look at Donovan and say, hey, well we're you know,

897
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 3: the more we play you forward, it's not that we're

898
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 3: losing anything in coverage because you're not the coverage guy

899
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 3: as far as the safety's un concerned.

900
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:34,720
Speaker 4: So it's not an accident.

901
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 3: It's not a crapshoot that was obviously planned and it

902
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 3: worked in their favor. So we probably see it again

903
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 3: against the running back you andit like what Detroit has.

904
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, you're absolutely right because Patrick's wright because what's gonna happen.

905
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 9: Wilson's gonna fly downhill and you know, and you can't.

906
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 9: If you're gonna deal with speed, you got to get

907
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 9: to speed before speed gets to you. Yeah, and that's

908
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 9: what Wilson.

909
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 2: He will.

910
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 9: He will throw his body in there, good and bad.

911
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 9: But what you have to do is, especially in those

912
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 9: edge perimeter runs, is you have to disrupt blocking and

913
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 9: you have to disrupt the back, make the back stop,

914
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 9: and once the back stops, now you got bodies that

915
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 9: can get there and limit the gain and what you're

916
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 9: going to have.

917
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 10: And he's a guy, and I know he hasn't He's

918
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 10: had his fair share of problems as you're Donovan Wilson

919
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 10: as far as how he's played. But when he is good,

920
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 10: he's a great tackler. He can really really tackle. And

921
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 10: that's another thing that the Cowboys defense has been struggling

922
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 10: with the past couple of weeks, has been tackling. And

923
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 10: I think it just it's as simple as who's giving

924
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 10: you more currently. And that's not to say not to

925
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 10: give credit to those guys, because I think they've done

926
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 10: a nice job given the situation. It's not what we

927
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 10: need it to be or what we wish it was,

928
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 10: but given the current situation, I think they think I

929
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 10: give them credit to what they've done, because it is

930
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 10: a hard job. It is something hard. The moon Clark

931
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 10: we he came back way faster from that injury. Yeah,

932
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 10: and we got to take that into account. Everybody's human.

933
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 10: He's a human being, and we know that it takes time.

934
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 10: Even though he was I'm not saying that the staff

935
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,280
Speaker 10: rushed him or anything at all. They they they're great

936
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 10: at rehab and everything. But I still think that after

937
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 10: you get from come back from an injury, it does

938
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 10: take time. Even though you're healthy, it takes your body

939
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 10: time to get adjusted and all of that.

940
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 8: But I think that right now.

941
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 10: Donovan Wilson, he's been improving his game and because of that, I.

942
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 8: See it as okay, if you're the.

943
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 10: One playing better right now, hey, we need you go

944
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 10: out there and here are more plays for you.

945
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 9: They miss vander USh and Patrick because because van der

946
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 9: USh will say, watch the watch his own watch his

947
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 9: zone watching and he's telling you know, they're communicating like

948
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 9: he's talking about what's about to happen, and and that

949
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 9: was that was It was like it was like Darren

950
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 9: Woodson playing with Roy Williams. Yeah, when wood he went away, Roy.

951
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 2: Williams all of a sudden, Well, yeah, what am I

952
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 2: supposed to do here?

953
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 5: Now?

954
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 9: You know, run pass, runner pass and that Woodies like

955
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 9: watch it, they're gonna do this and and so you

956
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 9: know that that clicked Roy Williams and then Roy Wiams

957
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 9: could go attack.

958
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 7: So yes, I guess from that standpoint, and jay Ron Curse,

959
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 7: he's playing one hundred percent of the snaps. Yeah, it

960
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 7: almost feels to me like they've just said, we're going

961
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 7: to go back to those safeties that we had in

962
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 7: there last year, and we're just gonna have all three

963
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 7: of them out and that's going to act. As I

964
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 7: saw the first I think it was the first play

965
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 7: the game, jay Ron was lined up at lineback like

966
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 7: it's I think they've just made a decision that that's

967
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 7: probably a better option for them. Theyre going with the

968
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,439
Speaker 7: inexperience is as good as he's played for what they've

969
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 7: as to do of Marque's bell, there's still some inexperience there, right,

970
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 7: and so I think they just decided to give me

971
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 7: some experience and we'll see what we can do with that.

972
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 7: You're still gonna give up size with those offensive linemen,

973
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 7: but at least you'll have more experience out there with

974
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 7: Donovan and with Dayron Kurrs.

975
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 9: As long as the team doesn't pound the ball at

976
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 9: him straight ahead, they're all right. Yeah, when teams play

977
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 9: on the sideline, sideline, the sideline, it's a little bit

978
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 9: easier for them to run and go make.

979
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 7: Plays, which does concern me a bit with Montgomery. Montgomery,

980
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 7: he's coming at you. That's the kind of running back

981
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 7: he is. So that's going to be a bit of

982
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 7: a challenge for them this week. All right, appreciate Jeffs.

983
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:16,919
Speaker 3: I was going to say out on a closing point,

984
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 3: and when it comes to stopping the Lions offense, I'll

985
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 3: say two fold. When it comes to rushing again, it's

986
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 3: about stopping at the line of scrimmage because they're rushing

987
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 3: yards over expectation, almost two hundred yards over expectation, So

988
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 3: do not let them get to the second level. The

989
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 3: biggest crux of what you want to stop for them

990
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,399
Speaker 3: is is yards after the catch. Almost fifty percent from

991
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 3: a receiving standpoint, almost fifty percent of the passing yards

992
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 3: last receiving yards for that offense golf and those guys

993
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 3: are off of yak. So you know, a couple weeks ago,

994
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 3: Cowboys did a great job of stopping guys up front

995
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 3: as once they caught the ball. That's what you need

996
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 3: in this game. If you allow them to get free

997
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 3: laporting and I'm on Ross Saint Brown, and you let

998
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 3: those guys get that ball and start making moves, you're

999
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 3: in for a long day. So once they make the catch,

1000
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 3: just bring them down right there and you will get

1001
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 3: more third down stops than not.

1002
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 4: Who just came all right there?

1003
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 7: You see it right right there, right oh, right there,

1004
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 7: Georgia came out that George is coming.

1005
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 3: Outright because we went past eleven forty five. You go

1006
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 3: past eleven forty five, Georgia sneaks up.

1007
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 4: As a route man. We'll be back tomorrow.

1008
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 7: We're gonna talk about this Lion's defense versus the Cowboys offense.

1009
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 7: Till then for Patrick Walker, Brian brought us Amber Garcia.

1010
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 7: I'm Derek Eiltson. This has been The Break live on
