Speaker 2: You get him. Sorry, guys, oh man, you enjoy that
Speaker 2: good morning football dog. That's so funny. All right, let's
Speaker 2: get it. Don't hang out with your new dudes. You

Speaker 2: take that angry run. And just my word, it went
Speaker 2: from Isaiah feeling.
Speaker 5: To the exacerbaby, why you feel ostracized?
Speaker 2: The cold world, brother, whole world, cold world man. No blankets,
Speaker 2: no blankety blankets, grebel coat.
Speaker 5: All right, so we're going to start with news and notes. Okay,
Speaker 5: let's let's start with a text that I just received.
Speaker 5: So it's one of those literally like just just sixty seconds,
Speaker 5: not necessarily breaking news, but a bit of a of
Speaker 5: a reunion for the CA Dallas Cowboys. They have re
Speaker 5: signed rookie defensive tackle Justin Rogers. Oh yeah, so Justin
Speaker 5: Rodgers is back. Out of all he was on the
Speaker 5: Bengals for a while, probably Bengals for a while. The
Speaker 5: Cowboys waved him in their roster management because they had
Speaker 5: some ir moves to make injuries happening obviously obviously, but yeah,
Speaker 5: Justin Rodgers, he is back. Seventh round pick back in
Speaker 5: April of the Cowboys. I saw some promise from him
Speaker 5: in training camp, but he wasn't able to earn his
Speaker 5: state away onto the field. They're getting another look at
Speaker 5: him for twenty twenty five obviously, so let's see what
Speaker 5: happens with that.
Speaker 2: So welcome back to Justin Rodgers. Interesting.
Speaker 6: I don't know that I've seen that before. Well, it
Speaker 6: was weird to see him in the preseason or I
Speaker 6: guess it was the preseason right now get released as
Speaker 6: a draft pick. That was really interesting. I don't know
Speaker 6: that I had seen that. Yeah, a long time Cowboys.
Speaker 1: It was like twenty I think before that was like
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen or twenty twenty, the last one they released
Speaker 1: a guy.
Speaker 6: Good trivia question.
Speaker 1: It would have been a late day three guy, because
Speaker 1: the first thing that came to mind was Reggie Roberts
Speaker 1: Robinson in the fourth round corner.
Speaker 2: But I don't think that was a training camp cut.
Speaker 2: That was later in the year. Maybe even that.
Speaker 1: Then, what about Michael Jackson, that's twenty nineteen, I think
Speaker 1: probably that might be it might.
Speaker 2: Be thinking Michael Jackson, Yeah, that might be. Well.
Speaker 5: Nonetheless, it's it's not worth digging into. No disrespect to
Speaker 5: those guys, but you know, we got more yeah, more, but.
Speaker 2: It was interesting to see them move on.
Speaker 1: And I think based off of what Patrick saying, I
Speaker 1: completely agree the stuff that he showed in camp was
Speaker 1: significant enough for me to say, Okay, like, I see
Speaker 1: why you drafted him. It wasn't like he was tearing
Speaker 1: people up and it was a it was a bloaytant
Speaker 1: disrespect releasing him.
Speaker 2: Or whatever it ends up being. But I'm happy he's back.
Speaker 2: That's a good he shows. Got a practice squad signing.
Speaker 5: I'll get clarification. That text simply says cow team re
Speaker 5: signing Justin Rodgers. Didn't specify if it was practice squad
Speaker 5: or straight to active ross interesting, so I'll get clarity,
Speaker 5: hopefully before the end of the show. But welcome back
Speaker 5: to Justin Rodgers. Cowboys injury report came out yesterday. We have,
Speaker 5: as it goes, we have the bad news and we
Speaker 5: have the good news. I'll start with with the bad.
Speaker 2: So TJ.
Speaker 5: Bass did not participate on Wednesday's practice with that thigh
Speaker 5: injury that took him out late against the Carolina Panthers,
Speaker 5: So we will monitor that. You might have some ol
Speaker 5: shifting on on there. Likely if Bass can't go, expect
Speaker 5: to Meydoga to pop in at right guard as he
Speaker 5: did against the Panthers for the Cowboys. Trayvon Diggs, we
Speaker 5: already know his season is done. He won't be back. Well,
Speaker 5: we'll see if he starts on the publice probably will.
Speaker 5: Eric Kendricks, it was a non injury related personal deity
Speaker 5: did listed as a calf as well that he's managing.
Speaker 5: But the calf is not withheld him out of practice,
Speaker 5: so no worries there for Eric Kendricks.
Speaker 2: Keep an eye on.
Speaker 5: Mazzi Smith so he did not participate yesterday with a
Speaker 5: back issue. This is not the first time that a
Speaker 5: back issue has cropped up. On the injury report from
Speaker 5: Mazzie Smith. It didn't keep him out of the last
Speaker 5: couple of games as far as the injury report that
Speaker 5: preceded those games, so hopefully that's the case here. But
Speaker 5: something to monitor there. Nick Vigil he doesn't practice.
Speaker 2: Let's move on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, plays, but he plays and he blocks punts.
Speaker 2: So there you go.
Speaker 5: We have some limiteds. Malik Hooker, Seeding Lamb. None of
Speaker 5: those guys are of any concern. I will say this
Speaker 5: now here we go with the good news. Jordan Lewis
Speaker 5: spoke with Jordan Lewis in the locker room yesterday. Obviously,
Speaker 5: he suffered the elbow injury against the Panthers, and he
Speaker 5: told me after the game he has good mobility. Cowboys
Speaker 5: ran some tests on Monday. Spoke with Jay lou on yesterday.
Speaker 5: He said he's a little banged up, but he feels
Speaker 5: like he can go out there and play this week.
Speaker 5: So to that comment, he was limited in practice yesterday.
Speaker 5: He did do some of the practice participations, so that's
Speaker 5: good news. More good news as far as the secondary
Speaker 5: is concerned. Jan Ye Thomas, we had that terrible scare
Speaker 5: with him a couple of weeks or so ago. Turned
Speaker 5: out to be a minor meniscus issue. I talked to
Speaker 5: him yesterday. He said that he's able to go through
Speaker 5: put it through its paces his knee. He's just managing
Speaker 5: a little bit of soreness thereafter. But Andrew report backs
Speaker 5: that up limited participation. I asked one yeah, yesterday, I said,
Speaker 5: are we good for Philadelphia?
Speaker 2: Hint? Hint?
Speaker 5: He smiled, and he said why not this week? I
Speaker 5: like that energy, young man.
Speaker 2: I like that energy.
Speaker 5: So there's a chance, a solid chance that one Ye
Speaker 5: Thomas will be back against the Buccaneers fingers crossed on that.
Speaker 5: Cooper BB more great news. He was a full participant
Speaker 5: in practice yesterday. I will get clarity on if that
Speaker 5: means he's clear the protocol or not. But he was
Speaker 5: allowed to participate fully yesterday. So that is a glaring
Speaker 5: green light for Cooper BB's chances and everybody else special
Speaker 5: assass yeah, and the others. Rico Daldo full participant, Tylers
Speaker 5: Smith full participant. So great takeaways. Cooper bebe back at
Speaker 5: practice full participant. Looks like he's on the route to
Speaker 5: being cleared if he's not already. Jordan Lewis says that
Speaker 5: he can play. We'll see if he's allowed to. Jan
Speaker 5: Yea Thomas looks like he's back earlier than they anticipated.
Speaker 5: They said two or three weeks. We're coming up on
Speaker 5: two weeks. So that the tracks so the bad and
Speaker 5: the good for the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: I did look it up, by the way, Josh.
Speaker 1: Last player to get cut from training camp or after
Speaker 1: training camp before the regular season and not be re
Speaker 1: signed to the or practice squad for at least a
Speaker 1: significant period of time was Marquez White twenty seven.
Speaker 2: Corner White. It was the last one, of course, Corner
Speaker 2: out of Florida.
Speaker 6: Little while ago, but I don't think he was ever
Speaker 6: re signed after the fact, especially not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they cut him on September third, so yeah, he was.
Speaker 6: He was out for a while, so this is interesting.
Speaker 5: Well, they brought him on the back they were hoping
Speaker 5: to not lose Justin Rogers to waivers when they it
Speaker 5: was one hundred percent of numbers game. They were hoping
Speaker 5: he'd clear fall back to him, kind of like the
Speaker 5: John Ridgeway thing. But he didn't, kind of like the
Speaker 5: Jordan Ridgeway thing. So yeah, but he's back now.
Speaker 2: I say, I liked that move, right whenever John Ridgeway.
Speaker 2: I like the John Ridgeway. Yeah, they did too.
Speaker 5: He's done some good things, Yes, he's he's been a
Speaker 5: starter for the most part since he's left here.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, he's been decent.
Speaker 5: Decent is the right word. We're not going to pretending
Speaker 5: it's not Galacta South here.
Speaker 2: But he was a Crown or anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he was like a six round pick at
Speaker 1: that point, right, He wasn't Magneto for sure.
Speaker 2: Magnet I know it now. It was back in the
Speaker 2: draft show in twenty twenty where I didn't though.
Speaker 5: By the way, after the Superman trailer dropped, well, talked
Speaker 5: about it.
Speaker 2: Oh, we're gonna talk about it.
Speaker 6: Also sponsored by black Roff Coffee.
Speaker 2: He that was Crisp. That was sponsor. That was Cowboys.
Speaker 2: That sounded like a drop Okay, not as crisp, not
Speaker 2: as crisp, not as Crisp.
Speaker 1: I couldn't know without your slurp. That was unfortunate, but
Speaker 1: it was great. I'll get there, get there.
Speaker 2: I want you to tell me intimidated by you? No,
Speaker 2: I just want to let it breathe a little bit.
Speaker 2: That's all.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 1: With all this being said, Cowboys offensive preview against Tampa Bay.
Speaker 2: We talked yesterday about what Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: Does offensively, Mike Evans, Baker Mayfield, they're the headliners, but
Speaker 1: they aren't the only ones that have some success the
Speaker 1: Cowboys right now, the headline er is Rico Dowdle, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it.
Speaker 2: The offensive line Rico Doubdle. That is what your offense is.
Speaker 1: One A, one B is cd Lamb there too, and
Speaker 1: what he's done over the last few weeks and continuing
Speaker 1: to do throughout the season. So my question to you,
Speaker 1: I'll start with Isaiah on this one. Out of the
Speaker 1: run game or the passing game, which one has to
Speaker 1: be on the highest of the totem pole whenever it
Speaker 1: comes to this matchup. You got to be better in
Speaker 1: the passing game.
Speaker 5: Yes, you got to be able to pass. The second
Speaker 5: is this are we doing?
Speaker 1: We'll go to QB vision in the next second, but
Speaker 1: just kind of kind of talk generally about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta throw the ball on these guys.
Speaker 5: They're not Their secondary is not amazing, So I think
Speaker 5: you have opportunities to do that. There's a lot of
Speaker 5: gaps in there in their coverage and that you can
Speaker 5: fully get behind. This is a tight end game.
Speaker 2: This is a game for your Titans. But you hope
Speaker 2: so got a couple of those guys.
Speaker 6: They're ranked thirtieth in opponents pass yards per game. I
Speaker 6: don't know if you guys knew that. They're not really
Speaker 6: a note work.
Speaker 2: It's not the bottom.
Speaker 6: It's not the bottom, but it's it's not great. They're
Speaker 6: not really enough of the bottom.
Speaker 5: Still kind of the basement. Fair enough too, stairs up
Speaker 5: from the floor in the basement. It's still you're in
Speaker 5: the basement.
Speaker 6: They haven't done much to be noteworthy this season. I
Speaker 6: mean over the last four games. Obviously they've stepped it up,
Speaker 6: but I just like you said yesterday, they haven't really
Speaker 6: beat a winning team on this run. So I just
Speaker 6: don't think, like you said, the secondary is anything to
Speaker 6: necessarily be concerned about. But you have to be concerned
Speaker 6: in that Cooper Rush is the one that's leading the charge,
Speaker 6: right and he's kind of been getting his deep shots in,
Speaker 6: but they are not as consistently well thrown.
Speaker 2: As you'd want.
Speaker 6: Oh absolutely, you know, and Isaiah's mentioned this a couple
Speaker 6: of weeks ago. The velocity of those throws, they're just
Speaker 6: not there. You saw a couple of really really nice throws,
Speaker 6: but I think the net of those passes are maybe
Speaker 6: thirty twenty five yard. He's really not bombing it out there.
Speaker 1: I think even over the last few weeks he's taken
Speaker 1: steps in that in the right direction.
Speaker 2: Is it Dak Prescott level? Is it high level quarter either? No,
Speaker 2: it's not.
Speaker 1: But Cooper Rush, let's say, let's just compare weeks ten
Speaker 1: and eleven, so the first two losses that he had
Speaker 1: against the final month of the season that he's had
Speaker 1: as well, where he's three and one, so oh and
Speaker 1: two to start five point one yards per attempt, right,
Speaker 1: And he was asked about that question last week about
Speaker 1: yards per attempt, He's like, I don't even know how
Speaker 1: they really calculated, right, And so he's obviously not looking
Speaker 1: at it, does not pay close of attention to it.
Speaker 1: But five point one yards per attempt that was lous
Speaker 1: lowest in the NFL over starting caliber players.
Speaker 2: In the two weeks from week ten to week eleven.
Speaker 1: From week twelve through fifteen, he's three and one as
Speaker 1: a starter, of course, and he's taken that five point
Speaker 1: one and he's up to it to six point six,
Speaker 1: so they've they've pushed it a little.
Speaker 2: Bit more downfield.
Speaker 1: His passer rating went from a seventy to a ninety eight.
Speaker 1: He had one passing touchdown one interception of those two games.
Speaker 1: He now has eight passing touchdowns and one interception in
Speaker 1: those far the most recent four games. They're using him
Speaker 1: in a different way. But why why is it successful?
Speaker 1: Is it just the defenses that they're playing. They're not
Speaker 1: playing as loaded of defenses as they did against the
Speaker 1: Texans and the Eagles.
Speaker 2: I think that could play a factor.
Speaker 5: Honestly, I think Rico has been pretty relatively consistent all
Speaker 5: year long. I mean, all year long, he's been over
Speaker 5: a four year average and forty four yards per carry
Speaker 5: average for the most part, most recently, I think the
Speaker 5: shuffling of the offense alignment have have contributed to his success.
Speaker 1: So I was what I was mentioning was was Rush
Speaker 1: was his numbers overall for Cooper Rush. But are you
Speaker 1: saying Rico's running game is adding to that?
Speaker 2: No, I don't. I don't. I think Rush is just
Speaker 2: by chance. It's just he's not doing anything. It's not
Speaker 2: anything different. I'm not trying to hate. I'm just being real.
Speaker 3: I just have not.
Speaker 2: I've seen his game fall off.
Speaker 6: Rushes.
Speaker 2: Yes, from when, from when? From previous year? Years, okay,
Speaker 2: previous year.
Speaker 5: His accuracy is down. He seems less, less comfortable, and
Speaker 5: that's burying itself out in the fumbled snaps and some
Speaker 5: of the errant throws to like a wide open crosser
Speaker 5: CD Lamb, or the inability for he and Jonathan Mingle
Speaker 5: to get on the same page. It's it's it's it's
Speaker 5: kind of weird to see from a veteran who has
Speaker 5: already proven that he can be accurate and he can
Speaker 5: be confident and composed back there to come in this
Speaker 5: particular season, and again when his first couple of starts,
Speaker 5: there were some real protection issues, okay, and a large
Speaker 5: part of that was due to injuries like Zach Martin
Speaker 5: for example, he was not Jack Martin. But then when
Speaker 5: you bringing these younger guys, brought coff In, TJ.
Speaker 2: Bass.
Speaker 5: Obviously, Cooper Beebe has been eating up front. Tyler Smith
Speaker 5: is doing what Tyler Smith does. Terren Steele is playing
Speaker 5: at a high level. Again, you're having the time back
Speaker 5: there for Cooper Rush, but you're still seeing him not
Speaker 5: make the throws even when he has the time. So
Speaker 5: it's kind of strange. But I will say it seems
Speaker 5: that he's more willing to take risks. So I'm viewing
Speaker 5: Cooper Rush on kind of a scale right now. Normally
Speaker 5: he's he's not going to be your river riverboat guy.
Speaker 5: He's not Dak Prescott, not going to take those deep
Speaker 5: shots because he wants to not be the reason you
Speaker 5: lose the game. Yeah, he doesn't want to throw the
Speaker 5: interception right right, But his confidence between you know, one
Speaker 5: to ten yards or so was always really high. The
Speaker 5: accuracy was really high. Well, that's kind of taking a
Speaker 5: step back, definitely, and I feel like as that goes down,
Speaker 5: he feels like he needs to be a little bit
Speaker 5: more of a risk taker. So that's why you're seeing
Speaker 5: twenty twenty plus yard passes.
Speaker 2: Go on, come on with it. This is a bold take.
Speaker 2: It's my opinion. Hey say, this is my opinion.
Speaker 5: This is not from insight. I don't think they believe
Speaker 5: in them and Cooper who Cooper Rush? I don't think
Speaker 5: who doesn't. I don't think the offensive weapons believe in
Speaker 5: Cooper Rush's ability to get them the ball. So the players,
Speaker 5: the players, and I think that has contributed to his
Speaker 5: lack of execution offensively. So you start talking about confidence
Speaker 5: just because somebody has had a good record and things
Speaker 5: have been well for them in the past. When you
Speaker 5: lose confidence, and as a player, you see that your
Speaker 5: team no longer, there's a twinkle in the eye, and
Speaker 5: there's a frustration. There's body language, there's all these nonverbal
Speaker 5: cues that you see when you're playing and when you
Speaker 5: see these inaccurate passes and when you see opportunities miss
Speaker 5: and you see receivers looking back at you like shaking
Speaker 5: their head like come on, man, And it happens consistently
Speaker 5: over and over. Now you question everything that you do
Speaker 5: as a quarterback. So when you start questioning everything that
Speaker 5: you do, you start playing as a shell of yourself.
Speaker 5: We've seen it in we're seeing it in Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 5: Everybody's wondering what happened to KIRKU He can't move?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he can't move.
Speaker 5: But that's not all right the other guys. It's the
Speaker 5: mental aspects, right when you see guys stop believing in you.
Speaker 5: Guys don't run their routs.
Speaker 2: It's hard.
Speaker 5: When they do run their routs hard and they get open,
Speaker 5: you freaking throw it a bad ball. They're not going
Speaker 5: to give you the same effort, but you're just not
Speaker 5: going to get that.
Speaker 2: So confidence is a real thing.
Speaker 5: I don't care what level of competition you're at, but
Speaker 5: especially at the NFL, when there are other people who
Speaker 5: are depending on you to help them be in the limelight,
Speaker 5: to help them get their performance bonuses, to help you
Speaker 5: to help them get their numbers up. When you're directly
Speaker 5: affecting them, yeah, they're gonna be frustrated with you. And
Speaker 5: when they're frustrated with you, and you see that they're
Speaker 5: frustrated with you, you're no longer confident. Why would you
Speaker 5: be confident, but they want.
Speaker 6: To put good tape out there as well. It's it's
Speaker 6: not just about, you know, quitting on a route if
Speaker 6: you don't think.
Speaker 5: He's he's saying.
Speaker 6: But my thing with Cooper Rush is that I don't
Speaker 6: know that he's had enough time in It sounds bad
Speaker 6: because he's been here for a long time, but in
Speaker 6: this offense, because if you could, if you think about it,
Speaker 6: Mike McCarthy instituted the Texas Coast offense last season. He
Speaker 6: didn't play any time really during the season that he
Speaker 6: hadn't played until before when Kellen Moore was the offensive coordinator.
Speaker 6: Part of me feels that, like like we had issues
Speaker 6: last season getting into the groove of things, especially Dak Prescott.
Speaker 6: It wasn't until week five where Dak really started to
Speaker 6: figure out the Texas Coast and to me, it feels
Speaker 6: like a bit of growing pains in that. But then again,
Speaker 6: he's been here a long time. He should know the
Speaker 6: offense in and out.
Speaker 1: It's also a sample sized thing too along with exactly
Speaker 1: because remember before the season, what we're we talking about
Speaker 1: it was the five and one record from Cooper Rush,
Speaker 1: so that as a starter five and one filling in
Speaker 1: for Dak Prescott six games total as a starter in
Speaker 1: the NFL throughout his entire career.
Speaker 2: How many games has he started already this year with
Speaker 2: three more to play? What's six? Okay, so it's the
Speaker 2: same number.
Speaker 1: So he's had just as much starting ability or starting
Speaker 1: opportunity in twenty twenty four already as he has his
Speaker 1: entire career previously. And you throw in the fact that
Speaker 1: it's the first time, really outside of the one game
Speaker 1: last year, that he's had a chance to play in
Speaker 1: a new West Coast scheme.
Speaker 2: I know the West Coast is supposed to be quarterback friendly.
Speaker 2: It's not the system. And I'm not trying to be
Speaker 2: a jerk. I'm no, no, it's not the system.
Speaker 5: It is it is from my perspective, from what I'm seeing,
Speaker 5: it is all confidence because these guys are going out
Speaker 5: there and it's a mental thing. These guys are going
Speaker 5: out there. They're going out there with a proper intent.
Speaker 5: We're gonna go out There're gonna this game. We're going
Speaker 5: to execute the game plan. And you go out through,
Speaker 5: you do your job, and then balls over. You're like, bro,
Speaker 5: what like, come on, man, why is this the conversation. Now,
Speaker 5: it's been it's been building. It's been building.
Speaker 1: But every week they've won three of their last four
Speaker 1: and he just threw a three touchdown pass or three.
Speaker 5: He made a couple of good throws. Yeah, he made
Speaker 5: a couple of good throws. Absolutely, I'm not going.
Speaker 2: To say you build confidence off of that.
Speaker 5: Nope, Yes, I I don't want to disagree with I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think you can. I don't
Speaker 2: think so.
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, I think he made some good plays,
Speaker 5: and those guys made some great catches.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying he's the starter of the future or
Speaker 2: even the backup of this.
Speaker 5: Those are broken plays though, too so.
Speaker 1: But when you like, when you have the freelance as
Speaker 1: a quarterback, the best quarterbacks are best whenever the play
Speaker 1: breaks down.
Speaker 5: You don't want him breaking you don't. Okay, I agree
Speaker 5: with you about what you about to say. Cooper Rush
Speaker 5: isn't the quarterback you want in a broken play in
Speaker 5: the facts, but he made a couple of good plays.
Speaker 2: But he did. I mean, you got to give him credits.
Speaker 2: So can you off on that.
Speaker 5: I agree with that, that that's not the quarterback you
Speaker 5: wanted to broke and play. But it's also true. I
Speaker 5: believe that when a quarterback throws a dot like to
Speaker 5: Jalen Brooks or the Jaalen Tober like the ones he
Speaker 5: did great, that's a confidence builder, right, especially in one
Speaker 5: of those was a flush out. He didn't have to
Speaker 5: flush out to the right, but he flushed out and
Speaker 5: he made that throw. Now, there are some throws that
Speaker 5: rattle the confidence. Again, He's only thrown two picks with
Speaker 5: his entire seasons.
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is, I get you.
Speaker 5: The consistency of his accuracy to me ties into a
Speaker 5: confidence issue.
Speaker 2: So he has ebbs and flows with confidence.
Speaker 5: When he fumbled the snap for the first time that's
Speaker 5: in his career, we saw him frustrated and just punching
Speaker 5: the grind. That's confidence. That's a confidence issue. And fumbling
Speaker 5: is missing the throw to CD Lamb and then CD
Speaker 5: turns around. He's like, yep, that dot it in your head, right,
Speaker 5: and then you make a good throat, Well, you make
Speaker 5: another bath throw that CD saved you from. Right, that's
Speaker 5: in your head. You're like, oh, thank you so much,
Speaker 5: CD for saving you. Don't say it out loud, but
Speaker 5: you're saying it in your head right. You might even
Speaker 5: say to him the touchdown the CD was a bath throw.
Speaker 5: That's what I just said. But when you then muster
Speaker 5: up or buck up and you make that throw to
Speaker 5: Tobrin and Brooks on their back in that back pyelone
Speaker 5: confidence builder, it reminds you that, hey, I can play
Speaker 5: this game at a high level.
Speaker 2: So I do agree with you and disagree with you there.
Speaker 5: I believe that those throws can be confidence builders, and
Speaker 5: he's had more and more of the confidence builder throws
Speaker 5: over the past couple of games than the previous four games,
Speaker 5: but they need more of those accurate throws.
Speaker 2: I agree to. What you're saying is you're going to
Speaker 2: see a lot of play action.
Speaker 5: Hopefully that's going to be the recourse of what you
Speaker 5: just saw. So and statistically they're not running a lot
Speaker 5: of PA with him, but I guarantee you see a
Speaker 5: huge uptick because what the coaches saw was like, Okay,
Speaker 5: maybe he's maybe he just needs to get out the
Speaker 5: pocket to feel comfortable. That's what that's that's what you're
Speaker 5: gonna say. I guarant I almost gear will I listen,
Speaker 5: You're gonna see him get out the pocket a lot
Speaker 5: more this week.
Speaker 2: I think I'm okay with that. I would be okay
Speaker 2: with that.
Speaker 1: The thing about Cooper Rush, and I understand what you're
Speaker 1: saying because you're you're so right in the ball placement
Speaker 1: and the throws and the way he's leading receivers and
Speaker 1: all of these different aspects of playing the quarterback position.
Speaker 1: You're critical on Dak in that regard too, from time
Speaker 1: to time, and Dak's gotten better as his career has
Speaker 1: gone on in that regard, whereas Cooper Rush has shown
Speaker 1: a significant regression. I don't think I can kill Cooper
Speaker 1: Rush on what he's done this year based off of
Speaker 1: the situation he's been put in and some of the
Speaker 1: things that he's been put in front of him. He's
Speaker 1: overcome a lot as the starting quarterback over the last
Speaker 1: six games.
Speaker 2: I don't disagree.
Speaker 5: But what I'm saying is I don't believe that the
Speaker 5: players have the same boat of confidence in him as
Speaker 5: a quarterback as they once did.
Speaker 2: That's that's my statement. So comparing one for the Rush
Speaker 2: to Cooper Rush, not comparing Cooper to Dak.
Speaker 5: It was they had confidence because before I'd just say before,
Speaker 5: when he was whatever was a se whatever it was,
Speaker 5: he was getting the ball out on time, The ball
Speaker 5: was accurate, right, he wasn't. He wasn't creating plays, but
Speaker 5: he was doing what was expected. Just do get me
Speaker 5: the ball. Just get me the ball on time, on location,
Speaker 5: with opportunity to get get some yack yardage.
Speaker 2: No, that's no longer the fact.
Speaker 5: So if Cooper Rush, who doesn't possessed the ability to
Speaker 5: really run the ball, he's not the most agile person
Speaker 5: in the world. He's not gonna make anybody miss. He's
Speaker 5: not known for throwing on the run. If he can
Speaker 5: no longer sit in the pocket and throw the ball
Speaker 5: on time and accurate, what is he.
Speaker 2: He's a placeholder for thank you very much. And that's
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. But that's what he's supposed to be.
Speaker 5: Well, he's a backup quarterback. Well, we're not going to
Speaker 5: do is sit here and pretend that that Cooper Rush
Speaker 5: and Ceedee Lamb have ever actually had chemistry on the field.
Speaker 5: They're great teammates and they love each other to death.
Speaker 5: But if you go back and you look at because
Speaker 5: I remember having this conversation even during Cooper rushes for
Speaker 5: one for in one stretch, right, Ceedee Lamb wasn't Ceedee
Speaker 5: Lamb that season until Dak got back, and it was
Speaker 5: like a couple of them, right. So certain receivers and
Speaker 5: certain quarterbacks as much as they love each other and
Speaker 5: they love.
Speaker 2: Now you're in there, brother, No, there's no lie there.
Speaker 5: But when I started talking about the lack of confidence
Speaker 5: from the player's perspective, from the running back who has
Speaker 5: to catch the ball out of the back through from
Speaker 5: a tight end, from a receiver, those guys who are
Speaker 5: dependent on their quarterback to get them the ball for
Speaker 5: their opportunities to make plays. That that's the requirement outside
Speaker 5: of getting handed the ball on a fly sweep okay,
Speaker 5: which as you saw up tacking on that because of that, right,
Speaker 5: we have to get the ball in his hands. We're
Speaker 5: struggling to get the ball in his hands.
Speaker 2: Crap fly sweep. Right, So that's what you saw.
Speaker 5: And again, once I run past twelve to fifteen yards,
Speaker 5: what's my confidence level that I'm getting the ball?
Speaker 2: Not very much. Not It's not great, it's not great.
Speaker 2: So what is that? What does that do to you
Speaker 2: as a receiver? Well, be honest, why do you what
Speaker 2: does that do with you? Do do to you as
Speaker 2: a receiver?
Speaker 5: If you have a deep route, I can kill this
Speaker 5: dude off the line of scrimmage, but I'm probably not
Speaker 5: gonna get the ball because he can't get it there.
Speaker 2: It kills It kills your motivation.
Speaker 5: I'm just telling you, it kills your motivation as a
Speaker 5: player to continue doing your job at the level that
Speaker 5: you know. You know what needs to kick in, and
Speaker 5: what better kick in is professionalism because you better run
Speaker 5: run that coaching because that ball the moment you don't
Speaker 5: run the route and you don't finish the route and
Speaker 5: come out of your break clean, right.
Speaker 1: But this is what's on the play caller to not
Speaker 1: put you in exactly and know the limitations that you
Speaker 1: have as a quarterback. That's why Cooper Rush has a
Speaker 1: one hundred quarterback rating over the last four games, because
Speaker 1: the coaching staff that realized we can't throw the ball
Speaker 1: downfield with Cooper Rush.
Speaker 2: Like we did with Dak Prescott. Correct.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, that's the reality that this team has settled into.
Speaker 1: And I don't think that's changed from five and one
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush to three and three Cooper Rush.
Speaker 2: I really don't think you're gonna find out a.
Speaker 5: Lot about Cooper Rush cut his team presses man, let's
Speaker 5: talk about it.
Speaker 2: QB Vision coming up right after this with more talking cowboys.

Speaker 2: Better to talking Cowboys. Back here on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This segment of the show is brought to you by
Speaker 1: Quaker Oats, the official oatmeal sponsor of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Quaker Oats trusted since eighteen seventy seven. We went a
Speaker 1: little long in the first segment because yeah, we were
Speaker 1: just on the oats. Yeah, we're going to get to Sorry,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get there. We're gonna get hear it.
Speaker 2: Discussion. It be quick, but we do have some Why Eddie,
Speaker 2: why Eddie put up?
Speaker 5: It's time for QB Vision with Isaiah's stand back hick
Speaker 5: the room.
Speaker 2: All right, guys, this is the accelerated version of TV
Speaker 2: vision because we have a lot to get to today.
Speaker 2: Celebrated like Cooper Rush su.
Speaker 5: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense. There's a dude by the name
Speaker 5: of Todd Bowles who happened to be here. Actually, my
Speaker 5: first interaction with Todd Bowles was when he was a
Speaker 5: coach here to Dallas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a dude. He's a dude.
Speaker 5: He is a good coach. He's a no nonsense coach,
Speaker 5: and his defense plays like him. You start talking about
Speaker 5: I'll say this, I'll say the strength of their defense
Speaker 5: is the front seven. The front seven. That's that's where
Speaker 5: you want to get away from. You want to get
Speaker 5: away from those dudes because they have some guys on
Speaker 5: the front seven.
Speaker 1: Name on the interior, you know, he went in a
Speaker 1: down year, went to like down Washington State.
Speaker 2: I know it like that. Don't do that. He would
Speaker 2: never allow that.
Speaker 5: His name is Vita Vea. There's a large human being
Speaker 5: in the middle of the field. Uh large, he's numbers fifty.
Speaker 5: If you guys want to see it's probably like a
Speaker 5: seven x L. He's what six six three.
Speaker 6: Three, he's seventy eleven.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a large human and he's very strong and
Speaker 5: very qui station. Yeah, he's very quick. You guys have
Speaker 5: seen him before. We played Tampa before, so Cowboys fans
Speaker 5: are very familiar with Vita Vea.
Speaker 2: He's a dude that you can't put one person on.
Speaker 5: That's why this defensive front provides problems because if you
Speaker 5: try to put one person on him, he's going to
Speaker 5: be five yards deep in the backfield. It's just gonna
Speaker 5: be the case because there's not one guy that can
Speaker 5: block him. Welcome back, Cooper b B exactly right. So,
Speaker 5: as you're talking about this shuffling of offensive linemen for
Speaker 5: the Dallas Cowboys, you have to factor into it that
Speaker 5: they're about to go against a veteran dominant defensive lineman
Speaker 5: in Vita Bay. Now, as I just mentioned, he is
Speaker 5: having a down year by his standards, but he's still
Speaker 5: a dude. The fellas that are playing next to him,
Speaker 5: those guys, those guys get after it.
Speaker 2: They have some guys. One of them in particular is
Speaker 2: Logan Hall. I like him. I like him a lot.
Speaker 1: He was another Kyle Draft pat cat out of he
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, so fun dude.
Speaker 2: His table is fun.
Speaker 1: He and Elijah Kncey, who are also who's also on
Speaker 1: that team fancy out of pit.
Speaker 2: He was more broadus his guy on that draft show.
Speaker 2: But he's not doing fun.
Speaker 6: Cancey's not doing great. He had and he hadn't had
Speaker 6: the same similar to Mazzie Smith in that way, Sargin.
Speaker 2: You're you're fine.
Speaker 1: Uh So.
Speaker 5: Logan Hall's other gentlemen on the defensive front that I
Speaker 5: that I really like. So those guys up front are
Speaker 5: are strong, they're stout, they're linebackers.
Speaker 2: Talk to him, Oh Lavonte David.
Speaker 5: Wait, he's still there thirteen years and still ball and
Speaker 5: he has a young gun playing with him. Woods name
Speaker 5: is Yaya Young appear on ya yah yah ya is
Speaker 5: an absolute dude as well. I like him, Yeah ya Yadyadi,
Speaker 5: Yeah yah yah Dyabi. He's he's the dude they run
Speaker 5: and hit those two guys running.
Speaker 2: You go to Cincinnati, where was he from? Click on that.
Speaker 2: He's a dog.
Speaker 8: He's six three sixty three, the getting better by the year. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 8: that's pretty good. So yeah, yeah, those guys are nasty.
Speaker 5: Okay, they they they run a four man front, but
Speaker 5: they like to walk two guys up on the edge,
Speaker 5: so they present a six man front. And the reason
Speaker 5: why that's important is because Cowboys fans a lot of
Speaker 5: times when you guys see coach Zimmer walk his guys
Speaker 5: up to the A gaps. The reason why that presents
Speaker 5: the problems because there's usually six guys at the line
Speaker 5: of scrimmage and those guys in the A gaps really
Speaker 5: determine which direction.
Speaker 2: You want to send your protection.
Speaker 5: So when there's four defensive linemen and there's a defensive
Speaker 5: end slash outside linebacker depending on your system, like these
Speaker 5: guys have to stand up and outside lanebackers a lot
Speaker 5: of times you have to make a decision which way
Speaker 5: do I want to send my my center want to
Speaker 5: send them to the right. I want to send them
Speaker 5: to the left. It's literally rowing the craps as well
Speaker 5: as you don't know is am I going to be
Speaker 5: sliding to the right three man side or am I
Speaker 5: going to be sliding to a four man side? I
Speaker 5: really don't know. So that's the issue that they present
Speaker 5: up front. That's where the communication issues may come in. Also,
Speaker 5: if you have a vita via at the inside your
Speaker 5: interior D line position that requires two guys, and you
Speaker 5: have six guys walked up at the light of scrimmage,
Speaker 5: that's a huge problem numbers wise, because now you have four. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 5: so now you got three guys available. Because if you're
Speaker 5: using two to block Vita vea, you have three guys
Speaker 5: available to block a potential five present some problems. So
Speaker 5: they don't do a lot of crazy exotic blitzes, but
Speaker 5: the simplistic stuff that they do. They're able to do
Speaker 5: simplistically because of the guys that they have on.
Speaker 2: They're just bringing it. They're not doing anything crazy.
Speaker 5: They're not doing anything crazy. The thing is they know
Speaker 5: you can't put one guy on their guy. So it's like, okay,
Speaker 5: well with that fact, it's like, what's name he's played
Speaker 5: d line for the Rams. Aaron Donald? Yes, so Aaron
Speaker 5: Donald definitely trust I did not I did. I'm hurting
Speaker 5: right now, Aaron donal Aaron Donald require two people at
Speaker 5: all times because of his speed and his ability just
Speaker 5: to get off the ball. Vitavea, in the opposite regard,
Speaker 5: requires two people because he's just a large human who's
Speaker 5: strong and he's quick for his size. So those are
Speaker 5: the problems, right, They're not doing this exotic stuff for safeties.
Speaker 5: Are walking all over the place and you have to
Speaker 5: figure out it's literally we're at the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? Beat us? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: And on top of that, not only do we have
Speaker 5: six guys walked up to the line of scrimmage, but
Speaker 5: we're also going to press you on the outside. Right
Speaker 5: for the first time that Dallas Cowboys are facing a
Speaker 5: single high dominant team where they're gonna come up and
Speaker 5: play either Cover three or they're gonna play Cover one.
Speaker 5: Those are their two primary coverages that they like to run.
Speaker 5: You go back and watch the Chargers game. They are
Speaker 5: up in your face, beat me off the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 5: have fun, have fun, and I bet you by the
Speaker 5: time that by the time that your receiver gets open,
Speaker 5: we're probably in the backfield grabbing the slamming, slamming your
Speaker 5: your your quarterback, like like the Hulk slammed U what's
Speaker 5: his name, what's his name? Low Ki exactly right. So
Speaker 5: that's that's what B to B wants to do. He
Speaker 5: wants to grab me and slam you, like like Hulk and.
Speaker 2: Low Key exactly. So that's what they do there.
Speaker 5: Coverage wise, their safeties corners not impressed there at all,
Speaker 5: but you have to beat them off the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 5: and Dallas has not seen that challenge.
Speaker 2: I missed it trying to blow through.
Speaker 5: So that's that is that run defense is not as
Speaker 5: impressive as you would think they would be.
Speaker 6: No, but a lot of that is because of Kalajah
Speaker 6: can see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been he's been rough.
Speaker 6: It's rough to see, and like if we're complaining about
Speaker 6: Mazzie Smith, I mean, look at this dude. This guy
Speaker 6: was drafted nineteenth overall in twenty three draftees.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's rough.
Speaker 1: He wasn't really supposed to be a run stopper. He
Speaker 1: was supposed to be a penetrator. He's supposed to be
Speaker 1: a guy that that had some success rushing the quarterback.
Speaker 1: Like that's what they wanted to get out of Colaijah
Speaker 1: can't see, but they they happen.
Speaker 6: The only thing he can't see it, you know what
Speaker 6: I'm saying, I can't see it.
Speaker 5: The only thing I'll add to what was a phenomenal
Speaker 5: QB vision as always from our guy Iris, is that
Speaker 5: Levante David in his thirteenth year. He can he can
Speaker 5: cover because he has more than five pass break coups,
Speaker 5: but he can also get after the quarterback five and
Speaker 5: a half sacks absolutely, So what you want to keep
Speaker 5: him from doing is playing downhill if at all possible.
Speaker 5: So I love what you said about this possibly being
Speaker 5: a big tight ends game for like Jake Ferguson, maybe
Speaker 5: Looke Schoolmaker contries as well. Get Lavonte is making more
Speaker 5: of an impact as a downhill guy who's pressuring quarterbacks
Speaker 5: and blitz package, and then he is as a cover guy.
Speaker 5: But though he can cover, but force him to cover right.
Speaker 6: Him as a pass rusher, he's kind of he's what
Speaker 6: is it called when you're just transcending time? He really is,
Speaker 6: because he hasn't had this many sacks since twenty thirteen.
Speaker 6: He's been in the league a long time while, and
Speaker 6: he's doing really well. And the fact that he is
Speaker 6: now rushing the pastor more than he has before gives
Speaker 6: him a jolt of energy. He's he looks more youthful.
Speaker 5: Now, dragging him down the scene. Force him to delete
Speaker 5: him from the blitz packages because you're already going to
Speaker 5: have your hands full with that front four and next.
Speaker 5: Don't need any additional guys going after Cooper rush.
Speaker 2: You just don't. Not that are that good anyway.
Speaker 6: Next to him is another linebacker, J. J. Russell, who's
Speaker 6: he's not great. He's not flashing in coverage by any means,
Speaker 6: but he's stopping the run. He has not recorded a
Speaker 6: mistackle this season.
Speaker 5: No, they tackle, well, that's the discipline. Say that again, ya,
Speaker 5: that's ridiculous. We are having this conversation nineteenth.
Speaker 6: Yes, and JJ Russell has not recorded a mistackle this season.
Speaker 2: That's insant.
Speaker 5: Yeah, their whole defense tackles well, they really do, and
Speaker 5: that goes in them from from tom balls to balls.
Speaker 5: Is not going to accept a team that doesn't tackle well.
Speaker 5: He wants guys, He wants those big fellows to hold
Speaker 5: down to Ford. He wants his outside linebackers to get pressure.
Speaker 5: And we're going to press up and.
Speaker 1: Good luck that will it be enough to beat the
Speaker 1: Dallas cowboy. We've got some pickums coming up on the
Speaker 1: other side of the break. More talk to cowboys. Right
Speaker 1: after this, Todd thought it would be secure to jog
Speaker 1: in the cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent

Speaker 2: it on social time.
Speaker 9: I'm Jeff.
Speaker 14: I did not pronounce Patrick's in the league. Kyle has
Speaker 14: made a jump from third place to second. Josh is
Speaker 14: like a roller coaster. Games in behind, you're two games
Speaker 14: or two games. You're like a roller coaster, Josh. A
Speaker 14: couple of weeks ago, you're in second, Now you're in

Speaker 14: Kyle has jumped you in one week. Stand back, fans,
Speaker 14: stand back, stand back, got a caboose. You need to
Speaker 14: spend more time in the classroom and less time at
Speaker 14: the NFL network.
Speaker 2: Buddy, forty eight and thirty two.
Speaker 14: That's a winning record, you're well, I mean you're only
Speaker 14: twelve games back. Your twelve games back of Patrick.
Speaker 2: So either either you have to do one or two things.
Speaker 5: They have a better winning You need to pick a
Speaker 5: lot of dogs.
Speaker 14: In the next three weeks, a lot of dogs, and
Speaker 14: you need to pick against Patrick.
Speaker 2: So whatever Patrick says, pick no, I'm going to my
Speaker 2: fellow dread brethren.
Speaker 5: That's what got him in trouble, does f well, because
Speaker 5: if you pack with me, we'd be talking.
Speaker 14: You'd be fine, all right, So he would do like
Speaker 14: a jersey swat bed and but you're not catching. If
Speaker 14: stand back can get to first pace and be Patrick,
Speaker 14: we got Patrick has to do something.
Speaker 2: Hot sauce challenge. Last time we did a jersey challenge.
Speaker 2: Whoa like that? One would say, if I catch you,
Speaker 2: you have to do a hot sauce challenge. The percentage
