Our life 48 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 2: is in the press box, and you can't cheer. And 49 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: literally it was as quiet. I mean, you could see 50 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 2: the Astro riders all just kind of the and the 51 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 2: Ranger riders were all just like not again. 52 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 6: So it's been a roller coaster ride. 53 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: But the great thing about this the Cowboys and the 54 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 2: Stars and the MAVs Rangers, they all support each other. 55 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 2: Dak Prescott was at the game dressed up, he had 56 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 2: his jersey on ready to go, you know.

He does a 112 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 3: lot of things really well. My first thought was was 113 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill. 114 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 6: I mean, just a. 115 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: Complete game changer, clutch player, somebody who's just an unbelievable 116 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 3: athlete and a little bit undersized, a little under the 117 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 3: radar until he hit that point in the NFL. That 118 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 3: was kind of my comp But I want to try 119 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 3: and ask that same question. 120 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 2: I was just thinking on hate sports hate, oh sports hate, Yeah, because. 121 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 6: TV to me, no, he's from him. 122 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 3: Oh No, he's a. 123 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: Huge out huge, you know. But he has a history 124 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: of things that aren't above board, you know. I mean, 125 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 2: whether you believe it or not, but he's got kind 126 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 2: of that history. A lot of the Astros do, and 127 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 2: you know New England Patriots, same way with Tom Brady. 128 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 2: There's a lot of things that you kind of Okay, 129 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 2: well you can't do that, but you're trying to do this. 130 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 2: And I just think because l TV has been he 131 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 2: has killed the Rangers in the series, him and Alvarez 132 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: both have just killed.

That is that is that from Jerseys. 139 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 4: I've been a part of those Aaron Rodgers Daggers man, that. 140 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 6: One up, buddy, that's the right one. 141 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 3: On uh not Friday. On Wednesday, we had a chance 142 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 3: to really talk about the offense, state of the offense, 143 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 3: what this team looked like going into the bye week, 144 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 3: and some of the ups since some of the downs. 145 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 3: I want to switch the conversation to the defensive side 146 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 3: of the football today. Starting with the confidence meter, we 147 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 3: talked about the overall confidence. Then we talked about the 148 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 3: offensive unit. Barry, I'll start with you, our resident defender. Yes, sir, 149 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 3: where does your confidence level rank right now in the 150 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 3: Cowboys defense? In the fact that can they still be elite? 151 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 4: It's waver just a little bit. If we're going all 152 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 4: the way back to training camp, you know, and all 153 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 4: the reports I've read out there, and those guys were 154 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 4: just destroying this offense, I'm in my head thinking there's 155 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 4: got to be a chance to be an historic defense. 156 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 4: I mean, you got the pass rush, you got the secondary, 157 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 4: the second level all down pat. If we can just 158 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 4: basically muddy up that run that we've had, you know, 159 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 4: these past couple years, this team is going to be there. 160 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 4: This defense is gonna be historic. You know. Then the 161 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 4: first two weeks come, you go against New York Giants, 162 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 4: and the Aaron Rodgers list Jets, and we didn't know 163 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 4: how bad you know, those teams were going to be 164 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 4: at the beginning of the season. So you're off to 165 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 4: a historic pace, and I'm like, man, this defense is legit. 166 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 4: This is it because New York Giants, they were a 167 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 4: playoff team last year and they were able to destroy them. 168 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 4: And even though we didn't go against you know, Aaron Rodgers, 169 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 4: I felt like, man, this defense has it. This team, 170 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 4: this team has got the juice. This defense can really roll. 171 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 4: And then a couple of injuries happened right there, and 172 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 4: I didn't think that Digs injury was going to be 173 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 4: as huge as it has been, because if you look 174 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 4: at it, man, this secondary back there, if any quarterback 175 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 4: has just a sliver of time, just a little bit 176 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 4: above average of time back there, they're able to find 177 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 4: open receivers out there. And if we go back to 178 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 4: last week with the Chargers Herbert, if he was able 179 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 4: to make a couple of those throws, I mean we 180 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 4: may be having a different conversation right there. So to me, 181 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 4: I think the injuries have played a big part in it. 182 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 4: When you talk about the defense as a whole, that 183 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 4: secondary they're opportunistic, but you can still get them a 184 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 4: little bit. And if that pass rush is not elite 185 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 4: every single down, they have a chance to give up 186 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 4: some big plays out there. So to me, you know, 187 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 4: my confidence waivered just a little bit. Defensively, I still 188 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 4: think they're doing big things out there. They're still doing 189 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 4: good things as far as as a whole. You know, 190 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 4: the defensive line winning their one on ones, because you 191 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 4: know Parsons is going to get all the attention and 192 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 4: he's gonna get double team, triple team. And I think 193 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 4: guys like Odiggie Zoo. I think guys like de Marcus Lawrence, 194 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 4: even though he's not having these sack numbers, I think 195 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 4: he's still unbelievable in the run. I think he's still 196 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 4: a dominant run defender. So those guys win in their 197 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 4: one on ones. That's a bright spot. But what also 198 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 4: kind of worries me a little bit is that injury 199 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 4: with Van Deeresh in the second level. And even though 200 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 4: Marquis Bell had a great game against the Chargers, that 201 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 4: Chargers offense is more of a finesse offense, and when 202 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 4: you're going against guys like the Philadelphia Eagles who can 203 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 4: pound it down your throat. If you go against the 204 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 4: forty nine ers once again, even Detroit. You know Detroit 205 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 4: got you know, Molly wopped this past Sunday. But they're 206 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 4: a physical offense and Montgomery's gonna come back healthy. So 207 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 4: when you go on against teams like that, I still 208 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 4: kind of want Vanderesh in that lineup and he'll be 209 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 4: back eventually. But Marquis Bell, even though he had that 210 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 4: great game, it still kind of worries me him on 211 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 4: that second level because I feel like if you can 212 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 4: get to him up there by blocker getting to the 213 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 4: second level, they can easily kind of displace him. He's 214 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 4: using to speak good, he's using his quickness good. But 215 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 4: I don't know if if an offense sticks with the 216 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 4: ground game each and every each and every down, I 217 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 4: think you can wear that defense down. But overall, I 218 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 4: started out as a nine eight, I'm going down to 219 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 4: about a seven six and a half right now, So 220 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 4: it's wave it a little bit, but still above Average's 221 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 4: still above AVIAG. I still don't think they could believe 222 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 4: be above average, but just not historically great defense. 223 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 6: What's your next question? 224 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 2: Because he hit it all yeah, all the way down. No, No, no, 225 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: he covered it all and rightfully. So I think that Barry, 226 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 2: you know, has a really good understanding about what it 227 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 2: takes to play really good defense in this league. And 228 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 2: I think that we were all the injuries have now 229 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 2: weakened this defense. 230 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 6: You know, you're gonna miss. 231 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 2: Vander esh We'll see how the linebacker corps plays from that. 232 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 2: There was some questions about them going in. Losing Digs 233 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 2: really kills you because playing Bland in the slot and 234 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 2: having Digs on the outside Gilmour on the other side, 235 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 2: I think that you know, you have a pretty good 236 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 2: combination there. 237 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 6: The pass rush is what it can be. 238 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: Uh, But yeah, I just think the injuries have really 239 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 2: hurt this defense to the point where it's a good defense. 240 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 2: I don't think it's a great defense, but you've got 241 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,599 Speaker 2: to find a way to make teams very one dimensional 242 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 2: because the strength of it is going to be your 243 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 2: pass rush, and you got to get guys home because 244 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 2: if you don't get guys home like you saw the 245 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 2: other night, you know, there were some plays to be 246 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 2: made against his Cowboys secondary. And I think there's the 247 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 2: thing with Gilmore. I think that we're seeing some slippage 248 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 2: there and I'm only saying slippage in a way of 249 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 2: the skill of his ability to run. And I do 250 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 2: worry about teams watching your tape and saying, carry him inside. 251 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 6: Let's see if he can chase, Let's see if he. 252 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 2: Can run down guys. And you know that's gonna be 253 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 2: a problem. Bland's done a nice job, Jordan at the nickel. 254 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: You know there's some there's some going to be some 255 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 2: issues there. He's he's very much a kind of a 256 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 2: sixty forty player, you know, sixty good, forty bad, And 257 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 2: you know you got to find a way to to 258 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 2: kind of maybe, Matt, I think you've got to mask 259 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 2: a couple of things in the secondary now. The safety 260 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 2: play hasn't been great here and that, and I think 261 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 2: that's really those are the things that keep you from 262 00:11:58,760 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: being elite. 263 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 7: How do you because they're undersized a linebacker you both 264 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 7: talked about the linebacker, Vander espn out, how do you 265 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 7: make up for that maskt as you said earlier, because 266 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 7: DeMont Clark seems like you're only true physically linebacker and 267 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 7: you've got a bunch of small guys like you can 268 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 7: get to that second level. 269 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 4: And you're in trouble. 270 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 3: Well, how do you cover that? 271 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm interested to see what they do with the 272 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 2: new additions with you know, with Evans, with Shawn Evans, 273 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 2: and and and and how. 274 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 6: Does he fit? 275 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 3: Uh? 276 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 2: You know, Michael Jones, Michel Jones, you know, I mean, 277 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 2: these are a couple of practice squad guys. Do they 278 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 2: make a move at the trade deadline that's coming up 279 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 2: October thirty first? 280 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 6: And you know, so everybody's like, well, who would you 281 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 6: go get? Who would you know? I don't know. 282 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 2: I mean I'm talking to my guys around the league, 283 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 2: and you know, they're giving me names and stuff, but 284 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 2: like they're guys should go poach off a practice squad. 285 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 2: There's nobody out there on the street. Would you trade 286 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 2: for somebody? Nobody's really talking about any guys you would 287 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 2: trade for. Nobody's putting anybody out there right now. 288 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 6: We'll see. 289 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 2: They might just address this through what they've done on 290 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 2: the practice squad, you know, to try and help. Because 291 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 2: Barry makes another great point is, you know, if you 292 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 2: put those safeties down in the box, Curse and Bell 293 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 2: and those guys, even Wilson, if you get blockers up 294 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 2: on them, Burry will tell you again, if you can't. 295 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 2: You're fighting three hundred and ten pound guys and you're 296 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 2: trying to find the ball and you're you're moving, and 297 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: if you just read it a tick late, you're there 298 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 2: on you. 299 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 6: If you know, that's the great thing about the the. 300 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 2: Layton vander Ushers and the Sean Lee's and any great linebacker, 301 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 2: their ability to know formation balls going that way gone. 302 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 2: You know, they'd stay a step ahead. And you know, 303 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 2: you got, like I say, you've got Demoon Clark who's 304 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 2: trying to kind of find his way, and if he's 305 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 2: a tick late, they're up on him, or Bell, they're 306 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 2: up on him. Or you know, Bell made a great 307 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 2: play the night just reading it and going, you know, 308 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 2: attacking the hole. 309 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 6: But you're gonna need a lot more of that for 310 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 6: this defense. 311 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 4: As a safety, if you're in that box, your first 312 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 4: instinct when you see a three hundred pound guy coming 313 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 4: at you, let me avoid him. And it's tough when 314 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 4: you're in that trenches like that. If you avoid a 315 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 4: gat away, you're just opening up another home. It's tough 316 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 4: when you got undersized guys like that man. 317 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 3: So we got a chance to talk to Scott McCurley, 318 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 3: the Linebackers coach right before everybody kind of went on 319 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 3: the break last week, and one of the things was 320 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 3: that was asked was how do you feel like Bell 321 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 3: has progressed? Because it is he was a safety. He 322 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 3: was a safety that was brought in thought hey, maybe 323 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 3: we could throw him in linebacker, and he showed some 324 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 3: good things and I think his most recent game against 325 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 3: the Chargers, when you go back and you look at 326 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 3: the film, it was his best game. But it doesn't 327 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 3: mean it was a perfect game. There was a lot 328 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 3: of stuff that where he was out of position. There 329 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 3: was one where he was beat on coverage, got completely 330 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 3: turned around and almost looked lost. But then there were 331 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 3: other times where he was shooting a gap, he was 332 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 3: reading the formation and which which way it was going, 333 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 3: and he was able to get back behind the line 334 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 3: of scrimmage. How tough of a transition is is that, though, 335 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 3: from safety to really a linebacker role, because we hear 336 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 3: about this safety linebacker hybrid, and there's a hybrid position, 337 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 3: but I mean there's two distinct roles that Bell is 338 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 3: having to kind of come in and Phil. 339 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's extremely tough when you're at a safety, even 340 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 4: if you're not a box safety like that when you're 341 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 4: coming down. There's so much you gotta read in that box, 342 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 4: especially going against a team like the forty nine ers. 343 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 4: I'll show you I candy left and right. When you're 344 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 4: in that box, you're not only you know, looking at 345 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 4: the formation, but you're reading. Let me see if this 346 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 4: offensive guard pools, my gap responsibility goes from let's just 347 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 4: say he pulled from the A gap on the right side, 348 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 4: so now you got to do the A gap on 349 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 4: the left side. You got to follow these things and 350 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 4: track these things. And it's extremely hard to do just 351 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 4: on a whim like that. And I understand he's had 352 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 4: training camp, he's had a couple weeks to get acclimated 353 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 4: with it, but we can't expect this guy to be, 354 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 4: you know, a Sean Lee out there where he's just 355 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 4: oh man bang, it's thinkful like that. He's gonna have 356 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 4: to grow and especially being undersized, you're gonna have to 357 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 4: make those decisions even quicker because you got to beat 358 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 4: these offensive linemen too. The next hole to be able 359 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 4: to beat these guys, and it's just tough at that 360 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 4: second level because he's also not only is he gonna 361 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 4: have to you know, shark downhill and getting those gaps. 362 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 4: But there's some instances where you gotta set the edge, 363 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 4: Like there's a point guard coming around and he has 364 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 4: to match that guard and pull two hundred and ten 365 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 4: going against three ten. I mean, you're gonna get displaced 366 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 4: and it's gonna be hard to move around that guy 367 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 4: when you got to set the edge, Like, the edge 368 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 4: has to be set. So there's some things that he's 369 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 4: that he's gonna be limited with just because of the 370 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 4: size in that second level. And that's the thing that 371 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 4: dan Quinn's gonna have to, Uh, he's gonna have to 372 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 4: mad scientists and cook something up. 373 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 374 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 2: The thing about it is when you get a team 375 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 2: like say the forty nine ers, who don't they don't 376 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 2: combo block. 377 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 6: They just they go straight up. They just they don't. 378 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 2: I mean, they're like they trust their guys to win 379 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 2: one on one. 380 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 6: Like a lot of teams. 381 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 2: You'll see though combo they'll get hip to hip and 382 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 2: they'll push that down lineman to the linebacker and make 383 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 2: the linebacker have to run the hump, you know, to 384 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 2: get to the play. 385 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 6: And then you're running the hump. 386 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 2: Well, it's already four down, four yards down field when 387 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 2: contact is being made. So to me, it's a lot 388 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 2: on that defensive line too to try and find a 389 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 2: way to hold up these guys, because if these tackles 390 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: and guards know that they could just go straight up 391 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 2: field and not have to worry about a down lineman, 392 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 2: then then those safety linebacker guys are are in a 393 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 2: lot of hurt. 394 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 3: Well, there's a number of things I think that Bell's 395 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 3: gonna have to get better at. Yeah, Nay Thomas whenever 396 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 3: he's back in clarkn't have to get better at Clark specifically. 397 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 3: I mean, it's a huge hole left by Layton Vandersch, 398 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 3: no doubt about it. Huge hole, and those injuries have 399 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 3: piled up on the defensive side. But I do want 400 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 3: to take our first break when we come back. Can 401 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 3: the pass rush still carry this team to victory? Not 402 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 3: just the defense and the success in the defense, but 403 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 3: can the pass rush be good enough to win you 404 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 3: multiple football games down the stretch post bye week, We'll 405 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 3: ask that question, plus which one of these injuries is 406 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,719 Speaker 3: most impactful on this Dallas Cowboys defense and where do 407 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 3: they like they can maybe make a move at the 408 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 3: trade deadline. Like Brian brought up a couple moments ago, 409 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 3: a couple things on the line down the line here 410 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 3: on talking cowboys. We'll be back right after this. 411 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 8: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 412 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 8: cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought 413 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 8: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be 414 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 8: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. 415 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 8: But the good news is Todd has at and T 416 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 8: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he 417 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 8: learned the best thing to do is stop running and 418 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 8: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and 419 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 8: T five G.

This segment is 462 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 3: also brought to you by Invisi Line, the official smile 463 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 3: of the Dallas Cowboys. Back here with Barry Church, Kurt Daniels, 464 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 3: Brian brought us Chris Beam in the back. I'm Kyle 465 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 3: Yeomans talking through this Cowboys defense, Kurt Win. It looked 466 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 3: like initially early in the season, and I put this 467 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 3: out there on our shows whenever it happened. Trayvon Diggs 468 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 3: going down was robbing not only Cowboys fans but the 469 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 3: NFL of a possibly historic defense. That's what it looked 470 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 3: like at the time, because they had just gone through 471 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 3: those two games, they had really been working in the 472 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 3: right direction. Felt like, okay, this defense can be special. 473 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 3: But even without Trayvon Diggs They're still going to be 474 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 3: really really good, if maybe even great, but still not 475 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 3: as good as what they could have been without Trayvon Diggs. 476 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 3: In the fold, we just talked a lot about Layton 477 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 3: vander Esh with those two guys out, now, which one's 478 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 3: been the most impactful injury or is there another one 479 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 3: that stands out to you based off of Digs and 480 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 3: Leyton vander Esh and how this defense has to fill 481 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 3: the holes. 482 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 7: I think over these next few games it's going to 483 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 7: be Vandersh And just because that position is so thin, 484 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 7: there's not a lot of experience there. There's not a 485 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 7: lot of just linebackers like we talked about earlier. And 486 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 7: it's not just his his physical presence of being there. 487 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 7: But you guys will know better than I do, but 488 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 7: it feels like he just kind of keeps that defense 489 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 7: in check, like he settles it down. 490 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 3: He's kind of that leader in. 491 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 7: That way, and then he's able to make sure he's 492 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 7: in the right place and this and that, and so 493 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 7: I think, you know, I was obviously blusing Digs is 494 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 7: a big blow, but I felt like with Bland and 495 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 7: maybe Jordan and some of the young guys, you had 496 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 7: enough there. You weren't in dire straits. Now at vander 497 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 7: esh out, there's enough talent around him. But still I 498 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 7: think that's a that's a huge hole there that I wonder. 499 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 7: I'm interested to see how they feel. 500 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying to think about, you know, with with 501 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 2: vander esh You're right, Kurtis, the position was then to 502 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 2: begin with vander esh Really, I'm gonna you know, he 503 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 2: does so much he helps you in the running game. 504 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 6: You could put him in coverage. 505 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 2: You know. Clark played well the other day against the Chargers. 506 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 2: It was nice to see him step up. The New 507 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 2: England game was his best game before that. 508 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 6: But man, that injury to Digs, it just to me it. 509 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 2: You know, the one thing that you got to be 510 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 2: able to do is you got to be able to cover. 511 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 6: And if you could cover, that helps your pass rush, 512 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 6: you know, and and and. 513 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 2: I think there's been a little bit of some inconsistency 514 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 2: with the with the coverage since uh Digs been out. 515 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 6: So I mean the. 516 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 2: Pass rush, yeah, the pressures, but maybe if you can 517 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 2: hold it a tick longer en route, you know, or 518 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 2: keep a guy from getting up the field on you, 519 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 2: that gives that buys Parsons an opportunity, Fouler opportunity, Lawrence 520 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 2: an opportunity, Osa Diggi's what buys them an opportunity. I 521 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 2: think that digs injury is huge, and I think they 522 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 2: could play around vander Esh, but just the coverage aspect, 523 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 2: that's what teams are doing now throwing the football, and 524 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 2: they're finding ways to do it on the secondary. 525 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 6: A little bit. 526 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, when we talk about these injuries, I think right now, 527 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 4: I think vander Esh is a huge injury right now, 528 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 4: But as far as the long picture is concerned, I'm 529 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 4: gonna have to go with Digs on this one because 530 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 4: when you think about it, the teams that they're gonna 531 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 4: have to play the upper echelon teams or whatever you 532 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 4: want to call it. They not only have an offensive 533 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 4: line to match your defensive lines pressure, so they're always 534 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 4: gonna be you know, hound in the quarterback, but the 535 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 4: majority of them have that that double option a wide 536 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 4: receiver when you talk about explosive players, and before the 537 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 4: digs injury went down, you know you had faith in 538 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 4: Gilmour and Diggs and be able to match those two receivers. 539 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 4: So when I'm talking about them, talking about like Philly, 540 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 4: they got aj Brown and Deavonte Smith out there. Are 541 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 4: you gonna leave one of those corners back on an 542 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 4: island against you know, a J. Brown or Devonte Smith 543 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 4: kind of have your safety shading over there, or are 544 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 4: you gonna kind of have to play a two high 545 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 4: shell over both of those receivers, But then that leaves 546 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 4: you weaken in the run. So I think when you 547 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 4: had those two corners out there, you were able to 548 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 4: do a lot more with this defense, and dan Quinn 549 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 4: was able to be a lot more creative. You also 550 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 4: think about the forty nine ers. I you Deebo Samuel 551 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 4: out there. I mean Miami coming down the road. You 552 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 4: get Tyreek, Kiwaddle, Detroit Reynolds, Saint Brown. These these upper 553 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 4: echelon teams that you're gonna have to play to get 554 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 4: to that next level, have those double options and they 555 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 4: have the offensive line to kind of match your defensive 556 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 4: pass rush. So I think that digs injury long term 557 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 4: is going to be huge on this defense when you 558 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 4: talk about being able to match skill for skill out 559 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 4: there and not have to take away something from the 560 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 4: defense as far as aggressiveness to kind of you know, 561 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 4: match and help out those corners on the outside. So 562 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 4: I think over the period of time that Digg's injury 563 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 4: is going to be humongous. 564 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 6: I went back and real quick, I'm sorry. 565 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 2: I went back and watched the Browns play the forty 566 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 2: nine Ers on tape. I was curious of how they matched, 567 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,959 Speaker 2: how they matched up and barriers right they What was 568 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 2: really interesting. They very smart the too high shell. And 569 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 2: what they did though, is when brock Perry started too 570 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 2: high and then when the snap of the ball, they 571 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 2: drove a safety in the middle of the field as 572 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 2: a robber, and. 573 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 6: So they went they went. 574 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 2: So what they did was they played man underneath and 575 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 2: they went four man rush, but they took advantage of 576 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 2: Buford and mckivitt's. 577 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 6: On that right side. 578 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 2: Teams know the Browns were good enough to put pressure 579 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 2: at tackle and at edge, but the way they did 580 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 2: it they took They took the forty nine ers cross 581 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 2: game away with playing man underneath, playing man really all around, 582 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,479 Speaker 2: and then driving that safety to the middle of the 583 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 2: field to take the crosser. And then they had somebody 584 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 2: back over the top. So they were they were they 585 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 2: were covered on every level of the defense, but they 586 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 2: were able to get. 587 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 6: The pressure home and then they gave pretty and you. 588 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 2: Know, Dallas I don't think is equipped to play too deep, 589 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 2: not with not with Curse playing the other safety, you know, 590 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 2: and sometimes even Wilson, you know, his eyes get lost. 591 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 2: And but if you're going to play a too deep 592 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 2: and play with a robber in the middle of the field, 593 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 2: you know that that might be something going forward that 594 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 2: they kind of a little bit of a different look 595 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 2: that they give it. That's how the Browns got to 596 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 2: the got to the forty nine ers. They just didn't 597 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 2: allow him on these crossing routes. And that's the thing 598 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 2: that I'm worried about when it comes to Gilmore. I 599 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 2: said it earlier about our team's going to carry him 600 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 2: inside and make him chase anything vertical. 601 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 6: He's fine. 602 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 2: Anything across as a chase situation has been a little 603 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 2: bit of a struggle. 604 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 7: So is the I said that dig is obviously one 605 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 7: of the best in the game. Is Bland that big 606 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 7: of a drop off or is it more of a 607 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 7: domino effect because you're kicking out band. 608 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 3: And that's now your slot is. 609 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 6: That's where I that's where I think it is. I 610 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 6: think you're weak now. 611 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 2: At two spots, well, actually really weak at one spot 612 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,959 Speaker 2: because Bland playing slot, to me is the best of 613 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 2: you know, you get three guys on the field that 614 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 2: can cover. Now, now, all of a sudden, you take 615 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 2: one of that, you take one of the best defenders 616 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 2: off the field, and you put Bland on the outside. 617 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 6: He's good. I think Bland's even better inside. 618 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 3: I agree. 619 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 6: And so now. 620 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 2: You're dealing with and you know that if you believe 621 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 2: in Pro Football Focus and all those people that grave 622 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 2: these players, the eye test will tell you Bland's had 623 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 2: some really nice games and some nice coverage. But man, 624 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 2: he's just so much better. I think it's it kills 625 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 2: him because Lewis has his moments, but not like Bland, 626 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 2: you know. And so now you got now you've got Diggs, Bland, 627 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 2: and Gilmore in the back end covering and that that 628 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 2: that's that's the best. 629 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 7: Of everything inside. 630 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 6: That's the question position strong. 631 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 2: Well, that's what I'm saying, because they can't They're not 632 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 2: going to play Jordan Lewis outside. And if you had 633 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 2: somebody else and not everybody has all these corners. 634 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 6: I mean mccuamu was a guy that we saw last. 635 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 2: Year late in the year, all of a sudden, they're 636 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 2: they're getting guys off the street to play corner in 637 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 2: these games, and all of a sudden, mcwamu's like, okay, 638 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 2: we're we're not going to do this anymore. We're not 639 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 2: going to play with these off the street guys. They 640 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 2: put mcwamuy out there and they actually played well, played well. 641 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 2: But I don't know if man to me is it's 642 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 2: just it's a struggle just because I love Jordan Lewis. 643 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 2: I just don't know, you know, if if that's the 644 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 2: all the time thing that I want to go with any. 645 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 4: Thoughts on right sliding on the outside, you get the length, 646 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 4: he's a little longer of a corner. 647 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 3: Coming back from injury. I think they're they're trying to 648 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 3: work him back into the fold. But even if that's 649 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 3: the case, is he gonna be better on the outside 650 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 3: than Bland would be on the outside, because at least 651 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 3: with Bland you have Jordan Lewis to rely back on 652 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 3: in this true right in that nickel position. The one 653 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,719 Speaker 3: thing I'm looking at whenever it comes to the domino 654 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 3: effect you mentioned the domino effect of Trayvon Digg's injury 655 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 3: is not only is Bland better suited for the inside 656 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 3: in the nickel position. But Gilmour is better suited as 657 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 3: a cornerback too. Now he's been a corner one his 658 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 3: entire career, but they signed him to be a cornerback 659 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 3: two to not face the AJ Browns, to not face 660 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 3: those number one wide receivers. But now he has to again, Well, 661 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 3: they don't travel, but they don't always travel. 662 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 6: See that's I'm saying so to me. To me, I 663 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 6: don't look at football anymore as a one in a 664 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 6: two corner I don't. 665 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,479 Speaker 2: I just think you have to find a way because 666 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 2: the way that teams formation you. And if you're not 667 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 2: gonna travel, you gotta play. You're gonna they're gonna gonna play. 668 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 3: You're gonna play. 669 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, they're gonna. They're gonna They're gonna find a way. 670 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 2: They're like, Okay, we don't think he's better than this guy. 671 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 6: We're gonna line him up over here. That's what these 672 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 6: teams do. 673 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 2: They'll scheme you to a point where all of a sudden, 674 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 2: like we've seen guys with, they'll bump a guy. They'll 675 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 2: bring a guy in motion, bump a guy out, and 676 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 2: they'll bump. They'll put a linebacker on Christian McCaffery, and 677 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 2: you're like, oh, wait a minute, he had a corner 678 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 2: on him earlier here. Now he's bumped him out because 679 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: of the motion. And so they'll match you up. If 680 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 2: they don't feel like that you can that you can cover, 681 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 2: they will find ways. So I don't look at it 682 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 2: as a one into two. I just think I think 683 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 2: both the guys have to be more than suitable. 684 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 3: But you also look at it from a totality standpoint 685 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 3: of the of the secondary in the cornerback room, because 686 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 3: if Bland's on the outside, you feel pretty good about it. Yeah, 687 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 3: you feel good about what Bland is. He might be 688 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 3: your best corner. Maybe he might agree. And if if 689 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 3: that's the case, then you put him back inside. Your 690 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 3: drop off from the outside from Bland is then either 691 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 3: nay Sean Wright, Noah Iggbonogany, or somebody else. Yeah, I 692 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 3: mean that's just kind of what it is. There's a 693 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 3: significant drop off, whereas if you take Bland out of 694 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 3: the slot, your drop off is from Bland to Jordan Lewis, 695 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 3: which is not nearly as significant of a drop off. 696 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 3: So that's why they're putting him on the outside. That's 697 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 3: why they're playing him out there because one, whether or 698 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 3: not they travel Gilmore, He's gonna face a number one 699 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 3: or a number two wide receiver on the boundary. Bland 700 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 3: is going to face a number one or number two 701 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 3: receiver on the boundary. Jordan Lewis has just got to 702 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 3: play better. I mean, and I'm not saying he's played poorly. 703 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 2: There's times when he's been fine. I just have we 704 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 2: faced a team I say, well, I shouldn't say we 705 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 2: have they faced a team that has a dominant slot player. 706 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 3: You can, I mean throw Brandon Ayuk in that conversation, 707 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 3: but incredible. 708 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 6: But are you killed him on the out outside? It was? 709 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 3: I mean, but you have three guys there. 710 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 4: You see. 711 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 6: I'm interested. 712 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 2: I'm interested in watching the Rams this week and seeing 713 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 2: what they're doing. 714 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 6: What they're gonna do.

Yopau's gonna be slot outside bound, it 716 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 4: doesn't matter Nicula. I mean that's an headed monster. 717 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 2: Yeah see, I'm interested to see how teams tried to 718 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 2: match up against them that way, because those guys have 719 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 2: been making well. I know that Cooper Cups coming back 720 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 2: from injury, but that kid from that kid from BYU 721 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 2: has been special. 722 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 3: He really yeah, he's been fantastic.

Yeah, we've 800 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 3: talked about the offense, talked about the defense, the overarching 801 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 3: theme of this team. Now let's run down the draft picks. 802 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,439 Speaker 3: We'll start with, of course, the first rounder Mozzie Smith. Kurt. 803 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 3: When you look at Mozzie Smith, has he done enough 804 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,360 Speaker 3: to reach your expectations for the first six games of 805 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 3: the year. 806 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 7: Oh no, not. I don't think anybody thinks he's reached 807 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 7: the expectations that you'd want from a number one pick, 808 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 7: just as far as the impact he would have. I'm choosing. 809 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 7: I'm choosing two things. One is that the Cowboys have 810 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 7: some depth so they don't have to rush them in. 811 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 4: Two, I'm just. 812 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 7: Hale Will McLay and his staff, and I'm putting my 813 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 7: trust that they, you know, and they're obviously one of 814 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 7: the best in the league, and that they know what 815 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 7: they're doing. 816 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 4: I don't. 817 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 7: I don't know what. I have no idea so they 818 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 7: but they've proven to be uh guruz at this before 819 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 7: and I'm just I'm putting my trust in them. 820 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,479 Speaker 3: What do you think, Brian? Yeah? 821 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 2: I mean the thing if you're one of those guys 822 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 2: and gals that watches all twenty two, and I encourage you, 823 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 2: you know, if you can, if you can afford to 824 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 2: do it and go to the NFL dot Com and 825 00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 2: get your the package. You don't have to be a 826 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 2: former scout or ball player, right and you don't have 827 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 2: to be You could see it with your own eyes, 828 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 2: you know, you could just sit there and focus on 829 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 2: number fifty eight. Did he have problems getting off the snap? Initially? 830 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 2: Absolutely he did. Was he laid a bunch. Yes he was. 831 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 2: Has he gotten better he has. Yes, he's gotten better 832 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 2: getting off the ball, He's gotten better playing with his hands. 833 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 2: His base is better. The numbers don't say all that. 834 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 2: But if you really sit down and just say, today, 835 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,880 Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch Mozzie Smith play football, and you know 836 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 2: he gets like fifteen eighteen snaps a game right now, 837 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 2: and those there's probably four or five of them, you go, okay, 838 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 2: little late there, got turned, got knocked out of the 839 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 2: hole and all. But then the other fourteen or fifteen 840 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 2: You're like, okay, got off the ball, disruptive, held up, 841 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 2: the guy did a good job with osa. I'm not 842 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,240 Speaker 2: sitting here and carrying water for the Dallas Cowboys drafting 843 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,919 Speaker 2: department or the scouting department at all, but I'm gonna 844 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 2: say this guy is not a bust. 845 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 6: He is not now. 846 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 2: I love Luke Schoonmaker. Luke Skingmaker was my guy. Luke 847 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 2: Skinmaker is struggling right now. I mean, and he's struggling 848 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 2: catching the football. He's struggling with some of the point 849 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 2: of attack blocking as us all the tight ends here. 850 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 2: So to me, those first two picks and then overshown 851 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 2: gets hurt. We were just talking about it during the 852 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 2: break among ourselves what Overshown's role would have been. So 853 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 2: this thing would have looked a lot different if you 854 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,280 Speaker 2: would have had maybe Overshown in the mix. But don't 855 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 2: throw dirt on Mazie Smith right now, love it. Just 856 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 2: don't throw dirt on him. And I encourage you, if 857 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,319 Speaker 2: you can afford to watch the All twenty two, go 858 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,799 Speaker 2: get it and just and just take a peek and 859 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 2: get the end zone part of it and just kind 860 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,320 Speaker 2: of look, oh, look there's fifty eight boom. Watching him play, 861 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,279 Speaker 2: you'll have a better understanding of what he is. 862 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 7: But as a number one picks. 863 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 2: It's been yeah, it's it's not been Yeah, it's no, 864 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,880 Speaker 2: it's not it's it's not it's not the impact of 865 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 2: you know, of some of the other number one picks 866 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 2: around the league. You know, it's not just looking at 867 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 2: names like a Will Anderson into what you know, what he's, 868 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,439 Speaker 2: what he's been able to do. I mean, there's there's 869 00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:00,760 Speaker 2: plenty of guys in this draft that, you know, the 870 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,840 Speaker 2: first round picks, that are playing at a much higher level. 871 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 2: I just don't like I say, I I think the 872 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 2: position he plays, if he was an under tackle or 873 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 2: a three technique and not a nose. You know, noses 874 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 2: are different than what you know, those guys that get 875 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 2: on the outside shoulder and run up the field and 876 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 2: they're disruptive and all that. Would I like Mazzi to 877 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,879 Speaker 2: make more tackles behind the line when he gets in there, 878 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 2: and play a little bit more power, Sure, absolutely I would. 879 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:33,280 Speaker 2: But I think that the position he plays limits really 880 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 2: the numbers that you're gonna see. 881 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 6: And you know, I would like him to be a 882 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 6: little bit better and some some snaps. Sure, absolutely. 883 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 884 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 4: When we talk about Bozzi, uh, you know, was he 885 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 4: getting thrown out of the club early? No preseason all 886 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 4: that stuff? Of course, I mean no, no white teas 887 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 4: at all. He was getting tossed around, especially in a 888 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 4: Seattle preseason game. But like Brown was saying, I mean, 889 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,920 Speaker 4: he's shown improvement. You know, I wouldn't I wouldn't call him, 890 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,359 Speaker 4: you know, tackle Charlton's just yet, all right, this guy 891 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 4: he's shown improvement. And what people got to realize is, 892 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,319 Speaker 4: you know, he wasn't brought in here to be you 893 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 4: know an Aaron Donald, a guy that's gonna just go 894 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 4: a field, disrupt everything. Penetration early on. I think what 895 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 4: he was brought here to do is pretty much solidify 896 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 4: that interior, which means at the point of attack, if 897 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 4: you're getting double team, stand your ground right there. Don't 898 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 4: let that combo block work up to the next level 899 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 4: to the linebackers. I think he was brought here to 900 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 4: be a space eater and and you love to see 901 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 4: him get a little bit better at and kind of 902 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 4: pushing that pushing the off the line back a little 903 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 4: bit more. But he's getting better. I feel like that 904 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,319 Speaker 4: Chargers game, he was doing a pretty good genat of 905 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 4: holding the point of attack and you know, shedding here 906 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 4: and there and not letting those guys get up to 907 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 4: the next level. And that's why we were able to 908 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 4: see a Bell and Clark, you know, kind of go 909 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,279 Speaker 4: sideline the sideline and do their things. So you know, 910 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,280 Speaker 4: he's far from a bus and he's showing improvement each 911 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 4: and every week out there. But to me, I just 912 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 4: would have loved to see Over shown out there just 913 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 4: so far this season. I mean, that guy had so 914 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,320 Speaker 4: much promise in the in the preseason. The way he 915 00:40:58,360 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 4: was able to move out there, I just feel like 916 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 4: he could have been an unbelievable chess piece for Dan Quinn. 917 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 4: But so far this year, when you look at this 918 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 4: draft class, I think we've been spoiled a lot, you know, 919 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 4: from the past with the Cowboys as far as getting 920 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 4: first round picks and them having this immediate impact. I say, 921 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,240 Speaker 4: just give a little bit of time for Ozzie Smith, 922 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 4: and I think you'll see improvement each and every week. 923 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,959 Speaker 3: Look at every first round pick since twenty eighteen. Wayte 924 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 3: Vander Rush immediate impay, Cede Lamb immediate impact, Michael Parson's boom, 925 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 3: Tyler Smith boom. Mozzi Smith is the first one since 926 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 3: Taco Charlton then has not had it. We'll see immediate, 927 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,439 Speaker 3: but we're six games in. Yeah, he'll have a battle 928 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 3: rookie season. 929 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 2: I think people I think people are seeing maybe what 930 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,880 Speaker 2: Jalen Carter's doing with Philadelphia with the Eagles. 931 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 6: You know that Jalen. 932 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 2: Carter on a lot of boards was like the first 933 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 2: overall pick as the thought of people when you talk 934 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 2: about Jalen Carter, you watch Jalen Carter tape and Mozzie 935 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,680 Speaker 2: Smith tape for Michigan, it was a clear difference. But 936 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 2: I think people are kind of expecting that, like, well, 937 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 2: look what they got out of their big guy. Why 938 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 2: can't our big guy not you know, why can't our 939 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,359 Speaker 2: big guy not have three and a half socks and 940 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 2: stuff like that? But you know, that's it's kind of 941 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 2: a different player. But that's that's kind of how you 942 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,399 Speaker 2: view it in the lens. But I encourage people if 943 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:08,920 Speaker 2: you can watch it, go watch it. 944 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:09,799 Speaker 6: You'll learn a little bit. 945 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 3: So with with that being said, he's he's shown some improvement. 946 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,719 Speaker 3: I want to do some second half superlatives. And I 947 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 3: know it's not the second half of the schedule, but 948 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:18,720 Speaker 3: it's post bye week, so it's. 949 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:19,560 Speaker 6: The second half. 950 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 3: It feels like the second half. Uh, predictions for this 951 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 3: most improved player? Who would you think would be the 952 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 3: most improved player on this Cowboys roster? Kurt, I'll start with. 953 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:33,239 Speaker 7: You, Well, it's probably the low hanging fruit. But and 954 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 7: this implies that he hasn't been good in some ways. 955 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,359 Speaker 7: But I think he's just kept progressing. That's OsO. I mean, 956 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 7: he's really stepped up his game even more this year. 957 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 7: He's been good at first two this season. I think 958 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 7: you're the third. You're really seeing him come along now. 959 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:51,240 Speaker 7: He's been a maybe perhaps because Malesi's learning curve here. 960 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 7: He's really stepped up and held down a lot of 961 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 7: that interior thing. 962 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 3: It's been awesome. 963 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 4: Arry, I'm gonna have to go even though he you know, 964 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,359 Speaker 4: he's strull a little bit early on, had a great 965 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,719 Speaker 4: game last week. I'm gonna have to go with Bell 966 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 4: on this one. As far as improvement. You've seen a 967 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 4: switch his position from safety to linebacker, and they kind 968 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,399 Speaker 4: of threw him into the fire. And the first couple 969 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 4: of weeks practice whatever you want to call it. 970 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 3: He didn't. 971 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 4: He kind of seemed lost out there a little bit. 972 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:17,919 Speaker 4: And as the weeks go on and as he's getting 973 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 4: more comfortable at that linebacker position, you see he's starting 974 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,920 Speaker 4: to make plays, you know, whether it's shooting gaps or 975 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,360 Speaker 4: covering guys like Austin Eckler. I mean, because he pretty 976 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,799 Speaker 4: much made Eckler, you know, a non factor in that 977 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 4: game against the Chargers. I mean, he was pretty much 978 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 4: on him from a coverage standpoint. So I'm saying he's improving, 979 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,919 Speaker 4: and I'm and I'm seeing a lot from Marquise Bell, 980 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 4: and I like what I see so far. 981 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 2: I think Turpin is a guy that I'd like to 982 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 2: see him get more involved in in some of the 983 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 2: offensive snaps. You know, the guy has actually shown the ability. 984 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,279 Speaker 2: They brought him emotion one time and he jumped up 985 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:47,719 Speaker 2: in wheen of the longest runs they had in the 986 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 2: game the other night, Like I think it was a 987 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 2: seven yard room, maybe a little bit longer, but he's 988 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 2: like he goes, he comes in motion and then jumps 989 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 2: inside and is able to get a block and it. 990 00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,320 Speaker 6: Gets the back. It's like second level through. 991 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 2: And then now you know they're running with a little 992 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,880 Speaker 2: bit more of some space. But when they hand him 993 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,840 Speaker 2: the ball, throw him the ball he blocking. He seems 994 00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,160 Speaker 2: like me to a guy that he played a lot 995 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,759 Speaker 2: of football last year because of the USFL, and then 996 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,560 Speaker 2: he came in and you know they were trying to 997 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 2: kind of you know, I mean, there was thirty some 998 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 2: odd games. I think the guy played was kind of crazy. 999 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,040 Speaker 2: Maybe long and wrong about that, but he seems like 1000 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,839 Speaker 2: a guy that I would try to get more involved 1001 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 2: in the offense him Cooks, try and get them a 1002 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 2: little bit more involved in with that burst in that 1003 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:32,760 Speaker 2: speed and take. 1004 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:33,480 Speaker 6: Advantage of it. 1005 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 3: I think I would throw Jalen Tolbert into the fold too, 1006 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,439 Speaker 3: just at that wide receiver position. I think more it's 1007 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 3: maybe not because he's playing just out of his mind. 1008 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,239 Speaker 3: It's because of where he came from. Sure came from 1009 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 3: last year and he was in a bad place from 1010 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,440 Speaker 3: a football standpoint. He was in a dark place with 1011 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 3: the coaching staff, with the front office. I mean, nobody 1012 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,480 Speaker 3: was really happy with Jalen Tolbert. And it's that he's 1013 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 3: worked his way onto the roster. He's showing a willingness 1014 00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:59,800 Speaker 3: on special teams. I know he's coming off of the 1015 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,399 Speaker 3: play against the Chargers. I thought he was just trying 1016 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,359 Speaker 3: to make a play. Yeah, oh he got got blown up, 1017 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,799 Speaker 3: trust me. And he's filling in first a good one 1018 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 3: in that situation. There are times like that where it 1019 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,080 Speaker 3: didn't go well for Jalen Tolbert. But he's shown a 1020 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 3: willingness to play on special teams. He's shown ability to 1021 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 3: make an impact from an offensive standpoints. I'm gonna say 1022 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,959 Speaker 3: most improved Jalen Tolbert. Now, this one's for the first 1023 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,040 Speaker 3: six games and the rest of the season. When the 1024 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 3: season is said and done, Barry Church, who will be 1025 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:33,240 Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys Most Valuable Player MVP? Here's the guy. 1026 00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 4: That'll be the MVP. 1027 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 3: So this is more of a prediction as opposed to 1028 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 3: a review. 1029 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 4: If the season goes how I believe it will go, 1030 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,240 Speaker 4: which this team will get to the playoffs and hopefully 1031 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 4: make a run. I'm saying this, this MVP has it's 1032 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 4: got to be Prescott. I think it's got to be 1033 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 4: him if this team is going to make a run. 1034 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,560 Speaker 4: We understand what this defense brings is to strengthen his 1035 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,239 Speaker 4: team so far, and I think they'll always give you 1036 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,759 Speaker 4: an opportunity to win ball games. And I think it's 1037 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 4: going to come down to can that quarterback make the 1038 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,480 Speaker 4: plays out there? And we saw last week he has 1039 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,879 Speaker 4: the ability. He has the ability to put this team 1040 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,400 Speaker 4: on his shoulders and make plays out there offscript, on script. 1041 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 4: He has that ability. It just comes down to the 1042 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:13,280 Speaker 4: decision making and if the play's not there, don't compound 1043 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,279 Speaker 4: the issue about trying to force something in there, throw 1044 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:16,960 Speaker 4: the check down, use your legs. And we saw a 1045 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,240 Speaker 4: little bit of that last week. So if this team's 1046 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 4: going to go where I believe they can, I think 1047 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,200 Speaker 4: Dak Prescott has got to be the MVP. 1048 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:23,800 Speaker 12: Yeah, I agree. 1049 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 7: I mean, obviously Michaeh. Parsons is gonna make a case 1050 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 7: for but I mean the ball is in Dak's hands 1051 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,000 Speaker 7: every snap where Mike's not even on the field on 1052 00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,200 Speaker 7: some plays. So I think in the end, this team 1053 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 7: is going to roll how Dak rolls. 1054 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,759 Speaker 3: So if the ball is in Michael Parson's hands. 1055 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:47,520 Speaker 2: The other way, it's got to be Tony Pollard because 1056 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,879 Speaker 2: this cowboy running game is non existent right now, That's true, 1057 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,200 Speaker 2: And the second half they've got to figure it out, 1058 00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,440 Speaker 2: whether it's what's going on with the five guys. We 1059 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 2: had Stephen Jones on one O five three the fans 1060 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,200 Speaker 2: on last Friday. We talked about annuity. We talked about 1061 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 2: this group, this offensive line, the five guys that play together. 1062 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 2: Now a couple of weeks. You know, you really didn't 1063 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 2: have any opportunity to practice this week. So the second 1064 00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,799 Speaker 2: half of the season, you know, you're gonna have to 1065 00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,319 Speaker 2: kind of figure some things out with this offensive line. 1066 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 2: I know, the first three games, the Rams, the Eagles, 1067 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,799 Speaker 2: the Giants, and then you get the Commanders, you know, 1068 00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,319 Speaker 2: with you know, with their inside guys, you've got to 1069 00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:25,600 Speaker 2: figure out ways. 1070 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,200 Speaker 6: To block fronts. You've got to be able to run 1071 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:28,800 Speaker 6: the ball. 1072 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,480 Speaker 2: To take pressure off Dak Prescott. You know, you've got 1073 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 2: to try and be more balanced. I think that's what 1074 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 2: McCarthy wants to do. But it's going to have to 1075 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 2: start with it up front. But anytime that Tony Pollard 1076 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,440 Speaker 2: has the ball in his hands, it can't be a 1077 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,160 Speaker 2: plus two or plus three. It's got to be plus four, 1078 00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,320 Speaker 2: plus five, maybe some bigger. 1079 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 6: Runs than that if they're going to have any success. 1080 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 7: But is that a Pollard issue? 1081 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 6: Is that an offensive line it's an offensive line issue. 1082 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,359 Speaker 2: But they're going to need Pollard though, if they do 1083 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,440 Speaker 2: figure things out to be the guy that's going to 1084 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,759 Speaker 2: carry the mail for them in this thing, they're going 1085 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 2: to have, you know, even throw him the ball, you know, 1086 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,560 Speaker 2: throwing the screens and stuff. If they can continue to 1087 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,240 Speaker 2: find I think putting the ball in his hands maybe 1088 00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,960 Speaker 2: I don't know. Tony Pollard might not be completely he 1089 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,160 Speaker 2: might be healthy, but I don't know if he's got 1090 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 2: that burst that he once had. But if this team 1091 00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,319 Speaker 2: is going to have offensive success, he has got to 1092 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:18,640 Speaker 2: have success himself. 1093 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,400 Speaker 3: I like I honestly, I think the run game is 1094 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,600 Speaker 3: where this offense struggles the most right now, and I 1095 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,279 Speaker 3: think if they can get that going, it's going to 1096 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,560 Speaker 3: open things up for Dak Prescott. So I agree with Brian, 1097 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,399 Speaker 3: I really do. I think Tony Pollard is the key 1098 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,440 Speaker 3: to this thing. And I mean the real key is 1099 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:36,160 Speaker 3: the offensive line. 1100 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,320 Speaker 7: Say maybe the MVP's the offensive line. 1101 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 3: Well, that might be the number one concern. The MVP 1102 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:43,920 Speaker 3: would have to be Tony Poller because he's the only 1103 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:45,839 Speaker 3: one that could maybe make it invad home. 1104 00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 6: They've had some struggles. 1105 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,720 Speaker 2: I mean, you always great offensive lineman, you know, sixty 1106 00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,080 Speaker 2: five plays, you know they might if if they have 1107 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,120 Speaker 2: three bad plays, it's an understanding. If they have six 1108 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,000 Speaker 2: bad plays or seven bad plays, then there's a problem there. 1109 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 2: And we're starting to see if you're great sixty five plays, 1110 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,320 Speaker 2: that there's six or seven problems. You know, Tyler Smith 1111 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,080 Speaker 2: in a couple of games has not been as great 1112 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:07,239 Speaker 2: as he has been in the past. 1113 00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,759 Speaker 6: Tyler Beatdish is healthy and he's not been great as much. 1114 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:12,719 Speaker 2: You know, Zach Martin is really playing on one leg 1115 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,760 Speaker 2: right now. Tyron Smith started off the year really, really well. 1116 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,440 Speaker 2: And Terrence Steele, I mean, you know it's just him 1117 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,560 Speaker 2: and Martin on the right side have just not gotten 1118 00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,560 Speaker 2: it going blocking wise, like we've seen in the past, 1119 00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,239 Speaker 2: the tight ends have got to be better at the 1120 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 2: point of attack if they're gonna do anything in this 1121 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:29,120 Speaker 2: running game as well. 1122 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,279 Speaker 3: Man, there's a long way to go and there's a 1123 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,839 Speaker 3: lot of things to look at with this Cowboys team, 1124 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,560 Speaker 3: but man, we're gonna cover it all the way through. 1125 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:41,239 Speaker 3: We're back to the normal podcast schedule tomorrow and catch 1126 00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:45,440 Speaker 3: Barry Church on Players Lounge ThM Central Time.
