I got a lot 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.520 of questions for you guys, just kind of giving people 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.240 a good sense of what your takes are on this 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.440 team halfway through the season, which is really kind of 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.760 the beauty of what we do here. It allows us 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.360 to kind of mix up some some some different opinions 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.360 that you guys may have on your shows, and sometimes 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:00.920 you start thinking that that's kind of the prevailing opinion, 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:02.320 and then you get on other shows of other people 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.440 and you're like, oh, wow, y'all see different yea. So 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.800 so it'll be fun. We'll have some fun here real quick, though, 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:08.639 I do want to first talk about trade deadline that 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:12.680 happens today at three pm. It'll be uh the the 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:16.520 NFL has the deadline set right now. If you look 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.200 across the Cowboys team, and I know wide receiver is 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.959 to push the position that everybody's talking about, but let's say, 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.160 outside of wide receiver, what position do you think on 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.800 this team can have can be best improved by maybe 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.000 looking at an opportunity to go and make a trade. 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:32.919 Go ahead, Barry, because I'm thinking, are you thinking a 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.280 little bit of making over here? We're talking about outside 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.480 outside of our receive because we're gonna assume wide receivers 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:39.399 are that group. Ain't getting no separation. R I ain't 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.120 get no separation right now. But um, I'm gonna say this. 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.600 I like what they did along the defensive line bringing 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:46.959 Hankins in there, because we know right now that Cowboys 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:48.760 defense is struggling when it against the run. I think 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:50.680 they're like twenty or twenty first in the league right now. 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:52.960 Gets to run and for them to go to where 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:54.480 they want to go, that's not gonna work. So I 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.480 like what they did. They're bringing a guy out there 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.280 that can stuff to run up. To me, I would 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.360 love to see them do something at the second level. 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.760 The linebacker crew. Now, I understand, we got LV there, 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:06.600 we got Anthony Barr out there, and we got a 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.080 lot of young talent underneath them cocks. You know, Damon 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:12.520 Clark had his first couple snaps in there this last game. 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.880 But to me, I think we just need more of 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.640 a like a downhill guy, like kind of like a 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:19.360 Rod quantsman. But he's going on the other side. I 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.720 understand all that, but I love his mentality when it 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.079 comes to the run game downhill. When he hits you 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:25.800 at the point of attack, you're going down and they 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.239 know leaky yardage involved. And that's why I see a 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.400 lot of our linebackers. They may be in the right 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.240 place at the right time, but when they get to 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.360 that point of attack, it's a lot of leaky yardage two, three, 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.520 four yards down Labroun. Then they're bringing them down. They're 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:39.600 tackling them like it's a safety out there. To me, 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.880 I need my linebackers in the run game, running downhill, 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.040 stuffing guys writing the out, hitting them right in the mouth. 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.480 And right now, Anthony Barr LV, they're having good seasons, 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.760 but I just don't like the aggressiveness. I want to 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:52.800 see some more aggression out of both of those guys. 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.080 So to me, I would like to see them make 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:56.280 a move right there. And it doesn't have to be 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.160 a big splash guy that comes in and has to, 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.200 you know, do eighty snaps a game or anything like that, 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:03.080 but just somebody who can bring that attitude to the defense, 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.360 because I feel on the defensive line, you got Tank Lawrence, 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:06.960 you got have Parsons who can bring that thumb and 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.040 bring that attitude to them. In the second level, you 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.600 got Wilson. You got a curse back there who's thumping 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.800 and bringing that pain that second level right now, I 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.600 just don't see it. So to me, I would like 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.279 to see them do something that lineback real quick on 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:18.960 that line then not the linebacker. Before we get to 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.039 TI issue, I want to talk a little bit about 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.600 that from the standpoint of linebackers. Oftentimes, we've seen these linebackers, 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:28.159 particularly get swallowed up, can't get off blocks. We've seen 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.240 the number of big plays that happen in the run 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.640 game because they can't get off blocks. How much of 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.000 that do you put on the linebackers? How much of 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:36.760 that do you put on the defensive tackles in front 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.479 of them? See, I would have put if we're going, 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.760 you know, percentage wise, I would say those defensive tackles 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.440 got to represent at least seventy percent of that because, 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.280 like you said, they get into that second level way 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.800 too fast. And I understand, you know, them linebacker's supposed 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.000 to be able to get off of those blocks, but 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.360 sometimes you're reading stuff back there and they creep up 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.760 on you quick, and once those linemen get them hands on, yeah, 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.359 it's hard to get off you. So that's why I 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.880 love that move back for it. Hankins, big dude, sixty 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.040 three to three hundred four pounds. He should be able 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.479 to gobble up some offensive lineman from getting to that 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.640 second level to lve to bar to those walk down 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.280 safety so they're able to go sideline and sideline a 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.360 lot easier or downhill a lot easier with a guy 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.919 like that in there. So I would say, hopefully Hankins 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:15.960 is able to reduce you know, the lineman getting to 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.240 the second level, and maybe Nevill Gallimore and those guys 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.520 as well be able to step up. But I would 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.760 say definitely at least seventy percent on those guys, because 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:24.800 when you're at a linebacker, you're not technically just looking 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:26.280 straight at the D line. You're looking at all this 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.400 stuff in the backfield to make sure you're reading your 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.480 keys correctly, and that could be tough when you get 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.440 those big lineman coming up on you. All right, I 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:38.560 don't want to make nobody man, but I think, well, 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.480 number one, what you have going on in the safety 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.000 room right now, I think it's great. You got the 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.840 young guys behind Mallie Cooker and those guys with them, 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.880 and so you had Marquis Bell and Israel mcquamu those guys. 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.160 But I mean, I know y'all saw on Sunday you 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.520 had a lot of safeties, you know, get out of 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.120 injured and stuff like that. And when you look at 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.839 the free safety spot after Malie Cooker, there's not a 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.160 definite guy that can come in there and you know, 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.719 play that backfield. I guess you want to say, like, granted, 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:05.760 you do have those young guys, but when you're asking 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:07.600 a guy to go out there and be like I'm 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.240 the guy back there, you know single I you know, 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.760 the Cowboys play a lot of you know, single high, 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.599 so he's just like, hey, he's whoever's back there's going 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.120 to have to do their job. So with that being said, 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.920 I think that maybe you could bring in another secondary player. 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.160 I think that you've seen teams there's just no slight 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.480 to one, but you've seen teams go Anthony Brown early. 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:28.880 So I'm curious to see what's gonna happen with that 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.000 cornerback two spot. Right now, it feels like maybe there 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:35.000 is a little bit of maybe competition there, So maybe 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.880 if you wanted to upgrade, or maybe not upgrade necessarily, 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.719 but bringing another veteran player for the secondary in itself, 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:43.560 I think that would change some things and give you 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.240 some depth there. But I would have said linebacker two. 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.400 I think that Demon Clark kind of what you're asking for. 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.600 He actually did well on tape, and I mean and 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:54.920 to see that from him early. Granted he had his 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:56.800 you know, his few whips and stuff, but you're talking 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.840 about somebody coming downhill and just being instinctive and just 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.480 going and to make the play regardless of Like I think, 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.200 I think the Cowboys linebackers right now, I think they're reading, 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.520 but they're not reacting fast enough a lot of the time. 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.680 Right So um, I agree with you on the linebacker 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.040 thing too, but it's kind of kind of weird with 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:16.400 Demon Clark where he come him with him coming in 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.120 the way he is because he is a rook and stuff. 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.400 So I kind of feel like that that makes me 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.120 feel weird about the linebacker situation now, and maybe they 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.120 feel like they maybe don't need it right now. But 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.960 the secondary, I think at the two positions, the cornerback 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.560 two positions could get better there. Let me ask you this, 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.480 what are your thoughts on Darn Bland Because I think 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.720 right now when I look at the secondary, I personally 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:40.160 think I definitely think he's your third best cornerback. At 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.120 least I think there's a case to be made he 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.200 maybe your second best cornerback. What are your thoughts I 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.840 was hinting. I was trying to ease on into that, 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:52.240 you know what, because quite honestly, like I said, you 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:56.720 do see teams going at your two cornerback early in games, right, 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.440 So I do think that people see that there's they 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.760 think there's a weakness there or whatever. So I would 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.600 like to see maybe Anthony Brown slide into, you know, 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.480 play more slot. We've seen him thrive there. He's actually 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.520 good in the We've seen him thrive there. I think 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.880 his awareness and his ball instincts are just better there. 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:16.040 And so maybe looking at dron Bland playing on the out, 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.440 seeing how he does, that's an option. Possibly. We saw 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.640 him have some success in the preseason. You know, it's 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.240 just preseason, but we've already said, like, this guy has 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.800 a nose for the ball. He's extinctive, especially, and I 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.240 think that he could maybe do something out there if 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.640 you put him out there. Say now, obviously, this name 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:35.280 is not one you have to worry about when it 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.880 comes to a trade because he's not on a team 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.560 right now. But Odell Beckham Junior is sitting out there. 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.200 He's recovering from an injury last year, was injured in 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.320 the Super Bowl. Coming back from that injury, and don't 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.400 really know the time frame on that. I assume the 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:52.760 Cowboys would if they were thinking or interested in him. 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.120 Would you, if you were the Cowboys take a look 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.679 at him and possibly bring him in as a free agent? 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:05.559 I would say absolutely not without literally not, Like I understand. 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.679 You know Eldell Beckham, you know he's he's an elite 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.320 wide receiver when he's healthy, when he's healthy. He's an 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.000 elite wide receiver, no doubt about that. The only thing 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.640 is he's coming off his second you know, ACL injury, 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:18.600 and I believe that happened. Well, it was at the 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.920 super bow. It's right around the right, it was right 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:25.360 around the corner. So we've seen how guys recover from 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.360 the ACL. Look at look at Michael Gallup right now, 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.280 he's still trying to get there. He's still trying to 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.319 find himself out there. Of course you'll have a couple 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.120 of moments where he's like, oh, he's back, look at it. 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.000 He's doing his day. But they don't have a lot 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.559 of laws out there as well. So to me, I 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:42.000 wouldn't bring Odell Beckham in until I know he's a 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.400 hundred and fifty percent right and he's right back to 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.319 where he can be to come and help this team out. Now, 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.520 maybe that'll be, you know, further down the line, you know, 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.400 maybe closer to the playoff situation maybe, but as of 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.840 right now, I wouldn't bring him in and try to 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:56.360 develop him and try to get him right and try 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.280 to get him hooked up onto this system. Knowing that 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.400 you got a guy named Michael Gallup has a already 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.480 dealing with that ACEL injury, and we see how slow 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:06.319 he's he's coming back from his progress. So Odell, I'm 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.520 out on him out. I don't know, I'm I'm kind 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:11.520 of on the fence. I think that you could bring 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.920 someone here and help out with like the slot work 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.560 and any medior work. But with Odell, like you were 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.600 just talking about his injury, he did like his rehab 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.680 is where is he at his rehab? Like that's the 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.559 biggest thing, is like where is he at in his rehab? 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.280 And I mean, he is a veteran guy, So if 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:30.120 you bring him in here, maybe that the short, intermediate 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:31.599 stuff that you're asking him to do. Maybe he's not 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.400 a strenuous But I do agree that his injury, in 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.800 the timing of his injury is kind of off putting, 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.360 especially seeing how guy how long guys take to come 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:41.960 back from an ACL. Then you have to look at 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.040 the locker room. You have a very young locker room 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:46.959 that's close knit right now. Do you want to bring 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.160 a guy in here who is you know, been in 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.760 the league for a while, has some experience, and how 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.560 does he fit in this locker room? That's another conversation 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:59.480 to have with him being an alpha personality. So I'm 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.679 good on it right now, I'm the contingent on It's 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.560 contingent on where he's at in his rehab. For me, Yeah, 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.640 I agree with all that. But here's my thought. Even 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.800 even if let's say he is a ninety percent of 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:16.720 what he was, is he still not better than Yeah, 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.679 you start looking at your depth chart. Yeah, he may 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:21.840 not be CD. He may not be the oldell that 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.960 you're expecting or that you've had in the past, But 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.280 when you look at what you have right now, he 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.200 might upgrade the whole level. And by the way, you know, 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:32.360 I know that there have been times in his career 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:33.880 where you're like, man, I don't know if i'd want 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.640 him in my locker rooms. I think he's mature beyond that. 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.280 And so the way I look at it is I 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.360 actually think he might actually be It might actually be 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.320 an advantage. You got a really really young wide receiver 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.680 room and and having somebody with his skins on the 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:50.280 wall walk into that room, especially if he's the matured 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.320 person I think he is. I think he adds some 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.600 some extra mental to that room. I think he can 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:58.760 bring some stuff into that room that maybe helps him 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.319 think about the game differently and helps them mature a 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.360 little bit better in the game as receivers. Do you think, 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.640 you know, bringing Odell in there, do you think that 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:08.680 would hinder CD in any type of way, Because like 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.240 right now, CD's like, all right, I'm the leader. I'm 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:11.840 an alpha dog in this room, like you know what, 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:13.880 I what you go through me. Do you feel like 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:15.960 if you brought an Odell in there it would kind 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:17.400 of hinder him and he would kind of want to 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.400 take a back sea because I don't really I don't 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.560 see him as that kind of do an You know, 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:23.520 I go if if you're an alpha in another alpha 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.559 walksing room, you don't take a step back exactly. You're like, 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.680 all right, cool, we might run this thing together. But 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:29.560 I ain't taking a step back. So I don't. I 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.280 don't see CD as the type that's gun necessarily step back. 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:34.680 I think he will say, okay, that's a VET. I'll 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.360 learn some stuff from him, So I'm open to that, 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:39.559 But at the same time, I'm not gonna step back 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:41.959 and just kind of addicate everything. Then That's where I 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:43.840 look at Noah And to your point, like when you 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:47.040 talk about bringing in possibly an Odell. It truly, just 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:48.960 the threat of him on the field may change things 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.720 for you as well, just may open up things like 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:52.480 say what you want to say. But this guy is 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.959 respected in the league, and granted he is coming off 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.240 of an ACL, but his speed is something people have 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.520 always talked about and you're looking for right now. I 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.920 think every receiver you need someone to take the top 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.080 off right now. You need a vertical threat. So I 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.760 don't know, let's see, let's see if people are open 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:11.000 to you know, Odell being a a cowboy, that would 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.280 be an interest. That would be crazy. I mean the lights, 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.320 camera action and do it. He would love it. And 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:18.640 I'll be honest with you. Meant like, we gotta have 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.560 somebody on in this wide receiver room that can consistently 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.839 beat man and man coverage because right now CD's getting 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.040 that double. Everybody's knowing like, all right, if we take 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.240 CD away, you know what can these other guys do? 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.440 And right now, you know, Noah Brownie had a couple 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.280 of games early on that you know, wow, he's doing 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.280 this thing. But can he be consistent out there and 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.320 beating that man to man coverage because we know teams 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.760 are gonna do the Cowboys. They've they've been leaning on 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.240 their strengths, which is the defense and that run game. Ye, 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.400 eventually they're gonna run into a team where they're gonna 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.640 stack the boxing, They're gonna they're gonna shut down that run. 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:48.840 You're gonna have to open it up. Do we have 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.520 receivers on this team that can consistently beat that man 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.959 to man coverage. I know, you know, James Washington's coming 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.240 back from injury, but there's a reason why Pittsburgh let 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:57.760 him wik. You know, it wasn't like he was the 0:13:57.760 --> 0:13:59.880 most consistent guy out there and doing this thing. So 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.520 you know that we gotta find somebody to come in 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.800 here consistently beat man and man they put help of 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.480 pressure off of CD Lamb out there. Yeah, absolutely needs 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:09.560 a running buddy. I do think that I do think 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.160 that Kelly did a really good job this game scheming 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.200 these guys open. Yeah, I mean, and granted this last 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.280 couple of weeks we've seen guys be open and stuff. 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.520 You know, you got you got your quarterback back there now, 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.760 so that makes the difference. But I do agree with 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.000 you that you do see that the way that teams 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:27.800 are playing, they're just Bracken and CD and they're just 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:29.720 they're betting on the next guy to make the play. Now, 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:32.720 we'll say the way that the tight ends are being 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:36.160 used kind of muddies the water a little bit because 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.520 you can say, right like, Okay, well these guys can't 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.400 get open on their own right now, they're not creating 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.800 a lot of separation. Well, your tight ends are doing 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:44.840 a lot and that are you know? So that's an 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.040 option too that I think that sometimes we forget when 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.440 we're talking about the receiving corps. I guess you do 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:51.640 got some guys out there. Dalton Scholtz is coming along 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.800 like since stacks back. So I mean, I agree, like 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.600 there's there's something to be said about what's going on 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.720 with the receiver corp. Right now. You see improvement, but 0:14:59.880 --> 0:15:02.400 is going to be enough when you start playing those 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:04.920 teams that can lock down and load the box and 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:06.680 do all that stuff. Are you gonna take our first 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:08.160 break when we come back from that break, We're going 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:11.240 to launch into our midyear review when we come right back. 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.320 This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.
