Gentlemen, you're ready to say it with your 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:13.839 chest today? Absolute? Yes, yes, yes, Golla mode that best 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:18.080 donkey Komba got like ten push ups in this morning. 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.520 That was definitely at least twenty five. Now he was 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:33.119 he was busy throwing barrels at Mario. Oh goodness, guys, 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.280 would you rather uh? Would you rather watch Paint Dry 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.479 or watch Thursday Night Football Last definitely paint dry. Yeah, 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.479 I think that sounds entertaining, honestly, right. You know it's 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.480 bad when current players are just calling out the game 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.440 on Twitter. I mean, just saying how bad it is. 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:47.920 I think it's it's that much worse when you have 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.440 fans home fans who paid for these seats get up 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:54.120 and leave before over time because they're just fed up. 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.000 They're just over it. They don't even care about the 0:01:56.000 --> 0:02:00.200 outcome anymore. They're like, bad, this is bad football. Yeah, 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.760 and I mean the Colts twelve Broncos nine, and over 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:08.320 time it was all Bols back and forth. Man, uh 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.560 As Kirk hurts, true, they said here was all so 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:14.400 bad that it's good. He was like, no, he's like 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.480 almost fell off the sofa ware. He said that because 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.160 I was trying to try to fish it up. Kirt 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:24.280 was like, oh no, this isn't when game to call, 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:25.680 I thought, that's all I can think about while they 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.880 were watching. I'm like, dude, this is somebody I saw 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.400 on Twitter was like, they deserve a Nobel Peace Prize 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.760 for having to go through that entire game and be 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.639 excited about And you could almost hear the disappointment in 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.600 Kirk's voice, um when he said, well, someone has to win, 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.519 right lad in the full quarter? I was like, no, 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:43.360 they could tie. He was like, oh, well yeah, and 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.480 welcome to the NFL, Kirk. Yeah, it's like I left college. 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:50.080 This isn't college football like I left Ohio State in 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:56.960 Michigan and Alabama. It's like, I'm not even gone. Yeah, 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.399 he's still in college football. He'll be out there this week. 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.080 But I think he realized for the first time, but 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.120 I might have to go through all of this for 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.160 a time. You can. Got to hear that in his voice. 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.240 I was like, what can you do? Yeah? And I 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.320 mean those are the type of ugly games. I mean, 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.920 Indianapolis isn't talking right now about how terrible the game was. 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:17.760 They're talking about, Okay, we got to win. We're back 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.079 to five hundred. They already had a tie going into 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.000 that game because they tied earlier in the campaign with 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.720 the Texans, so it would have been one two or one. Yeah, 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.600 one two and two, and now they're two two and one, 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.960 so they were able to pull it out. What about 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:33.880 the play call toward the end of the ball game 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.160 inside the ten yard line, throwing it over the middle 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.640 and that one getting batted away. K. J. Hammler was 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:42.600 wide open comments about that. What was it? Oh? He 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.560 have we not learned? Yeah, learned the lesson he vented 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:49.680 when you're right down there inside it run. Oh yeah. 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.000 He used it as a therapy. He went off the 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.280 rails when they came to that does the day I 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:59.120 would still learn learn was here? Yeah, he said, I 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.080 wish more songs. He's like learned. We were out there 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.600 in Denver. I thought we I really thought Denver was 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.600 gonna be You add Russ to that defense? Yep, you 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.920 know that defense has a lot of injuries. Yeah, defense 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:12.240 has a lot of injuries. And the office the line 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.440 seemed like leaves office a line right now. Yeah, but 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.360 worst is also not making good decisions. He's really he's 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.599 just heaving it up Seattle man, he's really just heaving 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:26.200 it up there. That's Seattle. You're pretty successful. You know. 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:31.080 I have my work. I think it's unmatched. You're saying 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.320 it's better. I think, Yeah, that's what he's saying. That 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.680 what I'm saying, what he's saying. All right, let's take 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.120 a look at some news and notes from the Dallas Cowboys. 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:45.560 A full padded practice yesterday and now walk through today? Correct? 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.800 Or is that walk through push to the it's the 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.960 region day, it's the stay day. That's where you do 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.320 a mock game. Yeah, they'll have practice on Saturday before 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:57.520 the road trip. And just glancing at the injury report, 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.520 not a bunch of changes. Jordan lewi Us got back 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.440 into limited practice. Jake Ferguson got back into limited practice. 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.480 The rest of it was the same. Ceedee Lamb did 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.599 not participate. He had a groin issue and he saw 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.400 it during the open portion. No see, he was going 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.719 through a lot of stretching and trying to get loose 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:17.680 with Britt Brown, the director of rehabilitation. He talked afterwards 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.280 and said I'm good. He also said he wouldn't be 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.120 on the injury report, and he was on the injury report, 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.040 but he didn't sound like he was too concerned about it. Well, 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:27.000 I don't think that he had much say. And I 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.400 say that facetiously because he had no say. And if 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.800 he was going on the injury report or not, it's transaction. Though. 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.000 If the team doesn't put him on there and it's 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.560 found out that he has even a minor injury, team 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.080 can be you know, subject to punishment for that. But 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.719 he was all smiles and he said, you know, quote, 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.159 I don't want to scare anyone. I'm fine. So we'll 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.880 see if that plays itself out as far as you 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.000 know the regent today and then practice tomorrow, you know 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:51.719 what the final injury report is. But it sounds like 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:53.440 he's good to go, you know, for the most part. 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.280 On a positive On a more positive note, Noah Brown 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.720 had another full practice on yesterday, So that's two full 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.480 practices for Noah Brown. His two foot practices for jay 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:05.240 Ron Curse Michael Gallup is still you know, right where 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.320 he needs to be. No setbacks there, so ceedee lamb 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.440 was the biggest takeaway from non practicing. But he said, 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.240 he swears he's good and it's a groin injury. He says, 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.800 it's a groin injury for a wide receiver. That kind 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.839 of scares me, even though he said, don't be scared 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.400 with it with a huge little scared with a huge 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.000 smile and you know, if you know the resting CD face, 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.279 he doesn't smile often in front of the cameras, so 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:32.960 he was all teeth. So I'm at least inclined to Yeah, 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.279 I'm inclined to you know, lean toward him in that. 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.920 I'm not saying that it's nothing, but he doesn't seem 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.480 concerned about it. So again we'll see. Yeah, and usually, 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.320 and this is not one hundred percent, Usually, when a 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:46.599 guy does his media obligations, despite having a little something, 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.919 probably expects to go. But hey, there's a couple more 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:52.520 days left. See how it feels. You're right. I mean, 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.120 that's nothing to play around with. When you're right, as 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.760 Isaiah knows wide receiver and you gotta get separation on 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.200 every play. Maybe sixty players are counting on him. Yeah, 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.440 hopefully he's fine, but growing suck if he does have 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.920 something that's going on there, something because of the fact 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.640 that the change of directions, the agility that's required in 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.800 terms of that muscle group, as well as your change 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.240 of speeds. You try to change, you try to shift gears. 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.160 You can't shift gears if you're growing. Is pissed off. 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.040 So hopefully he's healthy, you're ready to roll. And Jake 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.400 Ferguson return to practice as well in the limited capacity. 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.760 So that's a good blocking tight end. Jake blocking tight end. 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:29.440 Furg Delicious was back in practice. Fer fer Yeah, Black 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:35.240 eyed peas. Yeah, so if let's let's just put this 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:39.680 out there. If CD Lamb is unable to go, where 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.280 does the confidence leave level go from your wide receiving 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.720 cord now to where your wide receiving cord would be there? 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:51.560 Would it change a whole lot for you, Isaiah? It changes, Uh, 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.760 not a whole lot, really, not a whole lot on 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:58.760 just right now where I'm at right now, Not a 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:02.440 whole lot because of the fact that you know what 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.480 you have in Noah Brown right now, and Norah Brown 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.320 was and has made the some of the similar plays 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.920 that CD has made this year. This is a system offense. 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.840 This is not a Cooper Cup type offense where it's like, hey, 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.040 wherever he goes, like the ball goes. You know, you're 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:22.120 not losing that much productivity from CD. Yeah, he's coming 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:23.840 on as of late, and he's starting to show that 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.240 he could be that consistent guy. But let's not act 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.280 like he's been a world beater here this year, you know, 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.520 I mean, Noah Brown has had this very similar production. 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:32.720 So yeah, it was sucking not have him on the field, 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.640 But you have Gallop out there, and you have Noah Brown, 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.839 you really need a one two punch one, two, Three's 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:40.000 just just an extra benefit. I think it brings it 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:41.719 down for me. But it brings it down kind of 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.960 to Isaiah's point. It brings it down to right back 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:47.520 to pre Gallop. Right, So it's it was it was 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.000 Ceedee Lamb and it was Noah Brown and it Ford 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.120 Ever reason knuckle was Ceede Lamb can't go. Now it's 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.600 Michael Gallop and Noah Brown. So you know the extra 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.520 credit that you give them as far as raising that 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:02.200 bar because it's Gallop, Brown and Lamb in no particular order. 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.120 Now you if you were to lose one of those, Okay, well, 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:06.680 it just comes right back down to what it was 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:10.520 week one through week three, right, So, and I will 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.440 say maybe a little bit, it'll be a little bit higher, 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:15.520 just in the aspect of Noah Brown can play underneath 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.679 just like CD cam can, but Michael Gallup is more 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:22.440 of that downfield threat than either Brown or Lamb. So 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:24.800 a little bit of an extra plus there. But at 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.840 the same time, you know, where would I settle. It'd 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.400 be the week one versus week three version of this 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:31.800 wide receiver cool a. CD Lamb and Noah Brown both 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.480 have over two hundred and seventy yards of receiving. Nobody 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.200 else on the Cowboys roster has more than eighty, and 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.200 that's Dalts and Scholtz. He has eighty on nine reception, 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.360 so I mean there's a pretty significant gap in the middle. 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.040 Of course, Michael gallipbonly has the two for twenty four 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.160 and a couple of PI penalties against him, But there 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:52.280 hasn't been that wide out contribution outside of Lamb and 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:56.280 Brown consistently throughout the season. So I think my confidence 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.800 level goes down more. It really does. Even with Gallop 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.200 back in the fold, I still think it goes down 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.839 pretty heavily. With CD Lamb, He's had seventy five yards 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.240 each of the last three games. He's gotten better as 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.000 you've gone along, seventy five than eighty seven, then ninety seven. 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:10.960 He's had a couple of touchdowns over the last few games. 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.960 He is a better receiver than anybody on that roster 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.360 talent wise. It makes me, It makes me worried. I'm 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:18.920 a little worried. I'm not gonna lie to you. I 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.480 would be too. Make me feel better, Rob, No, I'm 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.160 with you because because hey, the other thing too is 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.680 is Gallop ready to play sixty snaps, yeah, or I 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:28.520 mean he may be ready to, but do they want 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:29.679 to put him out there? He put I think he 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.360 played thirty nine out of sixty one last week and 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.440 they're going to ramp him up. So if he was 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.480 full go gallop all the way and he didn't have CD, i' 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.200 feel a little bit better. I still probably with no CE, 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.480 I would lean towards CD going. I wonder if maybe 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.520 regardless Jalen Tolbert is active, and maybe they have to 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:46.959 do some roster configuration, but just to get an extra 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.319 receiver up there in case the game starts and he's 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.640 not feeling great or something happens in the game and 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:53.640 you're going and you can I mean, if for whatever 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.079 reason CD can't go knock on, I don't keep knockingna 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.160 loof because I think he will, then I hope he will. Yeah, 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.800 but you look at your cuting unit and you say, hey, 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.400 you know what, You're gonna get targeted more in this 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.280 game because you know Cooper Rush is going to need 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:07.959 to keep this pass rush off of him. So if 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.600 for whatever reason, we don't have Ceedee Lamb Dalton shots, 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:14.200 you better be feeling better than last week. If dalty. 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.200 You better be feeling better, Hey, Fergie, Yeah you're up 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.840 but great. You know. Also Rob Phillips is over there 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.360 making me feel better than Patrick's. Like, don't worry Kyle 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:27.680 if Ceedee Lamb won't go buddy kind of what it 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:31.160 sounds like that what I said. However, not gonna discount 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.120 painting him shot. He can make some plays, um, but 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.120 I mean to your point, Ceedee Lamb, he's coming up. No, 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.760 he's coming off of two games in which he has 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:43.079 produced almost a combined two hundred receiving yards. He's found 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.680 his groove. If he's not on the field for whatever reason, 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.400 it is a big loss for that wide receiver unit. 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.240 What I'm simply saying is it drops them from me 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.440 pushing them up with the addition to the readdition of 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:56.360 Michael Gallop back to week one, week three, and then 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.360 you look over at your tight ends and you say, hey, 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.920 you know what we pay you two. I'm panicking, why 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:04.080 are we not talking about? Why are we not? I 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.280 was actually going to mention him because he played most 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.040 of the snaps. But is he how's he feeling like? 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.760 Is he really a hundreds probably not one hundred percent yet? 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.439 Coming off of that injury. So I say it, he's 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:21.600 been in been healthy enough to fay. Are we gonna 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.040 put him in the same category as a Dennis Houston 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:28.240 in terms of him being a dat guy? Um? You could. 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.800 I think that's fair. Where you're you're saying without rush 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.440 or without Dak in the fold and rush at quarterback, 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.120 he's just not as valuable though, as you would be 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.240 with Dak in there. Right, that's kind of what you say. 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:41.400 I can agree with this. Let's not forget he's the 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:49.040 franchise player, yep Ida, so it is, yeah, the same duffer. 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:51.720 I can agree with that. I mean, and we kind 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.319 of mentioned it as far as when Dak is healthy 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:59.000 and Doos return, you will see Dalty's targets increase exponentially 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.839 because that is the dad guy. He told with Dennis 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:03.920 Houston being an a dad guy, I don't shoot the 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.600 absolute dead guy. So you know, so we're thinking that 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:08.839 he's not one hundred percent, is that we're saying, Robin, 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.880 I'm just I mean, coming off a PCL, he's one week, 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.079 he missed one game. I don't think he's a hundred yeah, 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.280 I mean, I think he's healthy, don't play, but I 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.360 think to that point. I think he's only we haven't 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:22.160 had too many Dalton sightings. No, he's nine receptions for 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:26.040 eighty yards through four games. He was set most of 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.240 the game Dak played. In Week one, he was seven 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.120 for sixty two and then he went so he's got 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.240 eighteen yards since Dak has been out. He went two 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:36.160 for eighteen and then he was out there against the 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.439 Commanders given what he could. I don't know if he 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.320 was one hundred percent. He had full practice this week, 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.080 so maybe he's getting healthier. I think it's fairly obvious. 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.160 I mean, who was Deck's most targeted receiver last year? 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:54.640 And there you go. But he isn't okay. I'm trying 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.600 to think of a way to even combat this because 0:13:57.080 --> 0:14:00.280 I don't think he's only a DAK guy, nor should 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.120 he get a pass as only being a DAK guy. 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.120 He's got to play better with Cooper Rush. It could 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.520 be Patrick no c Walker quarterback. He's got to play better. 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:10.040 You would think that's somebody who's in a position and 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:11.839 I'm not taking shots. This is just the reality. This 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:15.240 is what the fact, this is your franchise tag yep, 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:20.640 and he's not getting the rock. What the heck, like 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:22.400 we're talking a lot about cd put a lot of 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:26.120 pressure on cdee Lamb nor Bro where Shultz? Yeah, No, 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:29.160 what does that go on? Is that on Calamore's that 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.320 on Dalton Shoultz, Is it on Cooper Rush? Who is 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.360 it on? I don't know. I would just assume that 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.680 if you franchise tack somebody, you kind of want to 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.760 get them the ball. You want to use him, No doubt, 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.200 That's what I'm saying. Nobody's disagreeing with you. No, I'm 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.640 just if you just haven't had many sightings. That's what 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:49.160 I'm saying. Is he kind of Dennis uses to Dennis 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:52.520 Houston without Dak? What did they do? Go ahead, we 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:55.320 we don't need you until Dak gets back. Maybe. Yeah, 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:59.120 this feels like a prelude to Adulty seventy five yard 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:03.680 to touchdown? So I hope so because he is too 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:07.760 integral to this offense. The reason I believe that they're 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.560 underutilization of Dalton Schultz in the tight end position, right, 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:13.480 Let's talk about the position group and then talk about 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:19.360 the individual they're underutilization is hurting this offense. It surely 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:23.520 ain't helping. So you think they're all underutilized with Ferguson 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.800 and Hendershot and yeah, but I mean starting but you're 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.000 starting to hear Hendershot's name a lot more. Why because 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:30.320 they know that what he can do with the ball 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.040 in his hand, He's a vertical, absolutely, but you're not. 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.280 You're using, You're keying in more on him than you 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.920 are on your freaking franchise tag player. I think there's 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:41.880 also an aspect of it that lends to Kellen Moore 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.880 being more committed to making sure that the run game 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.880 is still the backbone, because going into week two you 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:50.440 saw that it was a clear frustration of Mike McCarthy saying, 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.760 you know, we gotta be smarter in certain things. And 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:54.720 basically what he was saying was if if the run 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:56.840 is working, stick with the run, and even if it's 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:58.960 not working, you know, at least pretend you're sticking with 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:00.320 it to set up the play acts and then go 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:04.840 now field. But in in the Cowboys recommitting to the 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:08.960 run Dalton and when he's healthy, he didn't miss a 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.920 game with a spring PCL, He's going to be tasked 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:15.560 with blocking more than going out and running the round. 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.600 And the same goals for Jake Ferguson as well Peyton Hembershot. 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.040 You know, to his own credit, he has been humbled 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:22.720 enough to say he needs to improve his run blocking. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.480 But in admitting that, it's basically telling you that when 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:26.840 he's on the field, it's probably not going to be 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:28.680 a run play. I mean, it might, but it's probably 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:30.920 going to be a pass play. So because they're recommitting 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:33.200 to the run, I think that's an added layer to 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.560 it all. As far as White, Dalton's not getting his 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:38.160 rep So you're completely correct, and that's the point that 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.920 I've made offline a lot of times. Dalton is the 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.480 dad guy. When dad comes back, he'll get his targets. 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:47.240 But also committing to the run heavily, you're asking Dalton 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.080 to do way more blocking than you would receive him. 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:53.400 And so well the other thing too though, I mean, 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:57.000 we wanted Ceedee Lamb with Ceede Lamb gonna be featured, featured, 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:00.560 He's being featured, so we can't be upset about that. 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:04.080 I mean, they're one drive, three straight catches. They're not 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.960 they're not forced feeding him, but they're making sure he's involved. 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:09.359 And maybe it's somewhat at the expense of Dalton. Shows 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:11.640 the other thing is maybe Cooper Rush is just he's 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:15.800 pressing the ball down the field a little bit. Guy Brown, 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:19.600 Noah Brown. But CD has had a nice couple of 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:21.840 games put together now too, which is something that we 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:24.879 talked about all off season. They got to get him 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.840 going and that's been progress. I just feel like, because 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.520 it's a tight end they got tagged, everybody's okay with 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:32.320 him not getting the ball. If it was a receiver 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.840 that got tagged, nobody hit this cover would be okay 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:36.919 with this. To me, I don't view the tag like 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:38.960 I do. If he had gotten a five year deal 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:42.000 worth seventy millions, I agree with, Like, I don't think 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:45.600 they the tag means you're good, but they didn't commit 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:49.320 to him with a big fat contract. So because they 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:52.119 could have done that, they could have contracted or signed 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:54.360 him forward, but they did. I think this is why 0:17:55.200 --> 0:18:01.000 m hm, I mean this, well, no tag basically saying hey, 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:04.760 you're good enough for us to not want to lose 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:09.000 you just yet, but not necessarily great enough to have 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:12.680 convinced us that we need to give you in this situation. 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:15.520 This situation I agree with because there's something that is like, 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:17.240 we just haven't figured out the money, asked fare, which 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.720 will be like a deck situation? Ezekiel Elliott. Earlier in 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:22.800 the week, he was asked, have you had any thought 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.800 on the fact that you haven't hit seventy plays on 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.080 offense yet and you really just haven't really been pushed 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:29.959 down the field? He pushed this. He's like, I'm not 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:32.320 losing sleep. He's like, we've won three straight. We're doing 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:34.640 what we need to on offense. I say it's losing sleep. 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:36.280 He's like, we gotta get CD the ball. We gotta 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:38.040 run the ball better. We gotta get Dalts and Schultz 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:40.000 the ball. We gotta get Noah Brown the ball. We 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:41.960 gotta get Dennis Houston the ball when he's active. Why 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:44.840 is Jaylen Tilbert not active? He's got so many different questions. 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:46.640 I love it. His point is well, to your point 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:49.800 is well because at some point, maybe this Sunday, the 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:53.040 Rams offense, if they can protect, is gonna wake up. Yea, 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:55.320 They're not gonna get three points every time in the 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:57.600 red zone and and this offense is going to have 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.160 to do a little bit more and it you know, 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:02.320 they may be maxing out what they can do with 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:05.119 Cooper Rush. That just maybe the factor you know, and 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:07.280 he's done a nice job, but I think we're kind 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:10.119 of forgetting he is the backup quarterback and now the 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:16.520 victories are overshadowing the fact problems. Yeah, the problems right now, 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:20.119 And I think I think yeah, but I'm saying, you know, 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:22.080 if you know the fans and go go, they're gonna 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:25.120 go moy loco. If there's an if there's if there's 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:26.959 a loss, and you have the same stat line as 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:28.639 you have on Officer, theres are gonna be a problem. Right. 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:30.960 People are gonna lose their They're gonna lose their colons. 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:34.760 But I think that on a T shirt, can we 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:41.159 get better than an alternative? What? I can't say? The 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:46.360 other one show title for today, you lose your Colonum. 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:49.120 Rob makes a great point. Um, you know, Cooper Rush 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:52.520 has has definitely been more than serviceable, capable. He's shown 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:54.720 the five percent um, But we might be seeing the 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:57.600 ceiling of Cooper Rush. And now you're reinserting Michael Gallup, 0:19:57.640 --> 0:19:59.560 and now he and Michael Gallup are starting to gotta 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:03.240
