Speaker 1: a monster readers, and you can you try not to

24
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: miss the read today. Oh okay, you want to talk

25
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: about underwear. Yeah, at some point, not right now, but

26
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: at some point I'd love to talk about underwear. We're

27
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: talking about the Cowboys defense. Did you have a joke?

28
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: There was something going with that? Not? Really? All right?

29
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: Dave you good this morning? Great? I already said that.

30
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: Oh you did, Yeah you did. Okay, I'm good, real good.

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's jump right in. Let's talk some Cowboys

32
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: versus Cardinals. Um. As I was going through looking some

33
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: of the numbers, there were some some pretty startling things

34
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: that stuck out to me, but nothing was more apparent

35
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: than I was talking to Brian this morning when I

36
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: got into the office and we were looking at some

37
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: different stats. And one of the things about their offense

38
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: is that I think that kind of points out how

39
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: inefficient they've been offensively. Is that right now they're averaging

40
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: less than a yard on first downs. They are I

41
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: think I want to say, I can't remember exactly the

42
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: ranking in the league, but right now they're second down.

43
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: Their average second down is second and nine points something

44
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: yards to go. They're not getting anything on first down.

45
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: If you look at the efficiency of their quarterback to

46
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: quarterback is a guy that is not right now getting

47
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: a lot of He's not being very accurate there. There

48
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: only I think, going a fifty four percent. So Dave

49
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: give us an give us kind of a layout of

50
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: what this offense. Look at some of the players that

51
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: are involved, what they do well, and what they don't

52
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: do well well. Let's start off with injuries, okay, because

53
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: it's really easy to look at their first two games

54
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: and say, these guys suck, and it's really easy to

55
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: then look at who's not playing for them and realize

56
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: why I think so upon doing my homework lass night,

57
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: let's just go through this real quick. DJ Humphries, your

58
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: first round draft pick from a couple of years ago,

59
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: who's supposed to start at left tackle, is out with

60
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: a knee injury, still out this week. We all of

61
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: these guys are guys that might return, So this is

62
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on as we get into

63
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: practices this week. Okay, Mike Upatti, who is your four

64
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: time pro bowler that Sonny came to the Cowboys for

65
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: Dallas day. Wow, it was a while ago because he's

66
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: been in the league for a while. Yep, four time

67
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: Pro bowler in San Francisco, starter at left guard, forty

68
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: million dollar contract, out with a triceps injury. John Brown,

69
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: your number two receiver, out with a quad Jermaine Gresham,

70
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: your tight end that they signed from Cincinnati during the offseason.

71
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: Former first round draft pick, heard his ribs in Game one.

72
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: Out with ribs. Havn't even gotten to David Johnson, who

73
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: fantasy owners can tell you is one of the most

74
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: dynamic players in the NFL. Out with a wrist. T

75
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: J Logan fifth round pick running back out of northcre

76
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: Alina who they drafted just this past spring, out with

77
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: a risk that he actually hurt in the Hall of

78
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: Fame game against your Dallas Cowboys. So what's that four?

79
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: That's five starters and or no, yeah, five starting caliber

80
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: players and then a couple of key backups that that

81
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: you're not working with for this Arizona Cardinals team. So

82
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: you're filling in the gaps with guys like Kerwin Williams,

83
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: who is a journeyman at best. He's been in the

84
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: league since fourteen. He's a seventh round draft pick. You've

85
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: got John Wetzel playing left tackle for Yeah, He's been

86
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: on three other practice squads. Arizona is the first team

87
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: that promoted him to the active roster out of necessity.

88
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: It sounds like out of necessity. You've got Alex Boone,

89
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: who was cut by Minnesota mainly for money reasons, starting

90
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: at left guard and not looking too great doing it.

91
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: In my summation, this is my favorite one. Probably Evan Beam,

92
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: fourth round pick starting at right guard. Doesn't look great.

93
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: Drew a couple of flags and allowed a sack against

94
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: the Colts on Sunday. Picked seven spots ahead of Dak

95
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: Prescott in last year's draft. So just funny. So yeah,

96
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: who it seems like the Chargers, it's about three years ago.

97
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: It's it's it's easy to knock them for looking bad.

98
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: And there's stuff that looks I mean, it all looks

99
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: pretty bad. Honestly, it's funny. So I watched I didn't

100
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: watch both of their games. I watched the Colts game

101
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: last night. Carson Palmer finished that game with three hundred

102
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: and thirty two passing yards, and it was like the

103
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: worst three hundred and thirty two passing yards I've ever seen. Like,

104
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: when I got done with the game, I was like,

105
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: oh my god, really because they don't look good. You

106
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: said it yourself. He's completing fifty five percent. He's thrown

107
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: two touchdowns to four interceptions. Chris Johnson is back in

108
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: the fold now that David Johnson is out. He looked

109
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: pretty nice running the ball. But I still think their

110
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: longest run from scrimmage that wasn't called back by a

111
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: flag was eight yards maybe something like that. So really

112
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: you're just talking about a long and a lot of

113
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: deep balls. Yep. That's how this off getting by m

114
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: jj nelson is a where where's my jj Nelson? He's

115
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: a fifth round pick from twenty fifteen, been the most

116
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: productive receiver they've had. Maybe right, yes, broke Chris Johnson's

117
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: forty record. This was before John Ross broke it. But

118
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: he was the fastest man at the combine, so he's

119
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: got some wheels. He had five hundred and sixty eight

120
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: yards last year. He's on pace for a thousand yards season.

121
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,679
Speaker 1: He's got two touchdowns in two games. Basically. The only

122
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: play they ran in Sunday's Colts game offensively that impressed

123
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: me at all was Palmer just chunked it up to

124
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: him from about fifty yards out and he beat double

125
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: coverage for a touchdown. You'll be surprised by this, JJ Nelson.

126
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: I guess speedster from the combine. He was on my

127
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: mock draft the entire time that year, like because you

128
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: want your because I like the speed guy, so I

129
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: picked him every single time. And I actually watched him

130
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: play at UAB before they stopped the program and then

131
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: got it back, which I'm interested again. All those injuries

132
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: I listed off are guys that you're gonna have to

133
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: watch because I know there's at least there's optimism Gresham

134
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: will be back. There's optimism that John Brown will be back.

135
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: He's also a burner if he's healthy, pottypotty, yeah, and

136
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: not David Johnson not. You do not have to worry

137
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: about him. But selfishly speaking, it having watched this offensive

138
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: line against the Colts, the makeshift one that they're getting

139
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: by with, I like the idea of DeMarcus Lawrence and

140
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: company going against these guys because they surrendered four sacks

141
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: to the Colts, who don't. I mean, they don't have

142
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: much in the way of fearsome pass rushers ever since

143
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: Freenie and Mathis left. And they gave up four three

144
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: of which came to the defensive line. Yeah, so they

145
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: had it. So you're you're talking about a unit that's

146
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: struggling a little bit. Kind of reminded me of the

147
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: Denver game. Like Dak was getting pressured a lot even

148
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: when he did have time to throw the ball. The

149
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: same thing goes for Carson Palmer. He had to improvise

150
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: a lot, step up in the pocket a lot. So

151
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: their coach came out after the game and said, Carson

152
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: Palmer needs to play much better than this does. And

153
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: then he came back Monday and said he did play

154
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: better than that after watching the tape. He was a

155
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: lot better than I thought. So, you know, and remember

156
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: they won the game. I mean a lot of times

157
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: you say that stuff after you lose. But they won

158
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: the game. And he's been sacked five times in two games,

159
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: and like I said, he threw for three hundred three

160
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: two yards. I guess that's the flip side of this

161
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: is I was I'm watching this and I'm thinking, man,

162
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: these guys look bad really if it's not for him

163
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: hitting deep balls and you know, deep comebacks like throwing

164
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: to the sideline to minimize his risk of getting intercepted

165
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: and throwing deep because he's still got a strong arm

166
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: and his receivers are fast. I'm thinking that's that's really

167
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: all they got. That's their offense right now. But the

168
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: secondary of the Cowboys sure didn't look in, you know,

169
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: encouraging on Sunday. So who am I to say that

170
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: they're going to definitely take that away? And that's exactly

171
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: where I wanted to go with all that. Once you

172
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: look at this team, it's pretty apparent that that's what

173
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: they do well. And when you match them up against

174
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, my question for you guys is how comfortable

175
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: do you feel that the Cowboys secondary can handle the

176
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: speed and that deep playability that they seem to be

177
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: pretty good at. If it's even if it's the only

178
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: thing they do well, how much do you think how

179
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: much confidence do you have that the Cowboys secondary can

180
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: handle it. I think the one thing that I'm confident

181
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: about that I feel kind of good about is then

182
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys put in pressure on the quarterback and with

183
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: Demontre Moore coming back. I think DeMarcus Lawrence can do

184
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: a good job there, and for me, that's gonna kind

185
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: of take off some pressure from the secondary. So maybe

186
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: that balances out a little bit and they get some

187
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,599
Speaker 1: help from that. I think that's a good point. And

188
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: you know, you do have question marks about the secondary.

189
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: You can't be comfortable right now because you don't really know.

190
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: We don't really know exactly the status of some of

191
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: these guys that you know, they've had this kind of

192
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: a week, weird week because of the Monday night game,

193
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: so we haven't seen them since the game, really, and

194
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: then we don't talk to them until today at four

195
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: third or four and I'm not even sure. It's not

196
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: a great locker room day. Won't see a lot. You're

197
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: not gonna get a lot of information until tomorrow morning.

198
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: About this time when Garrett talks about how what's the

199
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: status of Nolan Carroll Cheeto. Monday games are weird. It

200
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: seems like for as you know, the Cowboys have all

201
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: this national appeal, like we don't play that many Monday

202
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: night games. I guess because I don't room now, I

203
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: don't remember it being this seems like we get once

204
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: once a year. Yeah, it's a lot of times it's

205
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: a home and they like that week three Bears Carolina

206
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: or something like that they played on They played their

207
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: Monday night game over Christmas last year, and Christmas is

208
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: always a wonky schedule anyway. Yeah, I used to love

209
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: Monday night road games. I used to look for him

210
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,599
Speaker 1: on the schedule and the schedule would come out and

211
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: we got any Monday night road games because you know,

212
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: it's it's fun to have a Monday off in a

213
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: different city. It's fun to have a Saturday that too,

214
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, Saturday here actually just sitting watch college. But

215
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: that actually changes now. It used to be we didn't

216
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: have to come up here and cover the practice, but

217
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: now it's like a Friday, they're going to have a

218
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: practice then yeah, availability, so we'll be here for Saturday.

219
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: But talk to me specifically about speed, like what kind

220
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: of speed do the Cowboys out because we haven't really

221
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: seen again, mainly because they were hurt all during training camp.

222
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: We haven't really seen these cornerbacks other than maybe the

223
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: college evaluation of them, but we haven't seen them in

224
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: situations where they're really having to run. Because I don't

225
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 1: think any of the read I don't think other than

226
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: you know, other than Bryce, I don't think you can

227
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: you look at their Cowboys receivers and say there's just

228
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: pure speed there. Now what I guess let's go back

229
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: to the college evaluation, Dave and what you guys were

230
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: talking about on some of the draft shows. What kind

231
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: of speed do some of these young guys have to

232
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: be able to match up with guys like JJ Nelson

233
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: or or Brown. I mean, to be able to play cornerback,

234
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: you have to be pretty fast, just as a NAT.

235
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not playing cornerback with like a four

236
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: or five or a four to six. But I mean

237
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis and Chittabeousier like that's not their calling card

238
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: that they're like setting combine records. Although and you know,

239
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: even at thirty years old, I think most people would

240
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: say Orlando Scandrick's probably one of the fastest few guys

241
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: on this team. So you've got speed, You've got you know.

242
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: I know he's kind of getting knocked by people this week,

243
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: but Byron Jones is as athletic as they come. He's

244
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: a fast guy. Actually, Jeffy deceptively fat, Like I don't

245
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: worry about you having. You don't think speed is an

246
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown's best going up the game. I'm sorry, Anthony

247
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: Brown's the fastest guy on the team. I don't. It's

248
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: it's not like college where I matter. No, it does, Yeah, absolutely,

249
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't worry about them just getting behind

250
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: these guys all the time. I just worry about coverage

251
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: skill more than anything else. I mean, how much space,

252
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: you know, And it's not you know, it's not like

253
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: these guys are just running goes all day every day.

254
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: Like I feel like sixty percent of Palmer's completions against

255
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: the Colts the other day, where these fifteen to twenty

256
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: two yard comebacks. And that's the type of stuff where

257
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: I could see a special I mean, Nolan Carroll or

258
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: a guy like Jordan Lewis who has doesn't have a

259
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: lot of experience. I could see, you know, a Larry

260
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald or a guy like that who's a route running

261
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: technician taking advantage of that and getting open for these,

262
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: you know, eighteen to twenty five yard games because they

263
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: ran a few things near the line of scrimmage. But

264
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: I swear it felt like every completion they had was

265
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: fifteen or more yards down the field, like they're looking

266
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: for chunk plays when they throw, which makes sense because

267
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: Bruce arians is super aggressive coach. From a speed standpoint,

268
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't really worry me. I just worry that in

269
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: terms of route running and coverage. I mean, the coverage

270
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: certainly didn't look good on Sunday, so that needs to

271
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: be cleaned up. On top of that, I would love

272
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: to think, based on what I saw, that the Cowboys

273
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: can top this running game because it looks bad, Like,

274
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't look good at all. Right, They averaged three

275
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: point two yards per carry. Chris Johnson, like I said,

276
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: he had a couple of nice runs, but like Alex Boone,

277
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: just looked bad. And you're right tackle Jared Veld here,

278
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: they did not have a lot of room to run.

279
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: So I would like to think the Cowboys can make

280
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: them one dimensional. But again, after the Denver game, I

281
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: don't sorry, what are you gonna say, we didn't. I mean,

282
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: this is the same defense that the Cardinals faced, the

283
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: same defense from the Colts that gave up like forty

284
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: six points. I guess some of it was on offense,

285
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: but yeah, those were pick sixes. They gave up a

286
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: lot of points to the Rams, so I mean, and

287
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: then the Cardinals going there and yeah, they's they struggled.

288
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: But this reminds me of that game back in twenty

289
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: twelve maybe where against the Chargers where they had about

290
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: three offensive linemen banged up and who's gonna play for him?

291
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys are gonna come in here, and I

292
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: think Philip Rivers only through for four hundred yard that

293
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: day and half of its gates, And I mean, they

294
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: figured it out. So I'm not just gonna say, oh, well,

295
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: John Wetzel, haha, you know, okay, John Well. DJ Humphries

296
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: could be back for this game too. So really, like

297
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: all those guys I said are hurt, like, you're gonna

298
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: have to keep an eye on them because they could

299
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: all be coming back to the lineup for this game.

300
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: But you know, it seemed like every time the Cardinals

301
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: wanted to run in this last game, they had to

302
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: go jumbo like there Joe Looney was on the field

303
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: for probably sixty percent of their run plays, which, again,

304
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: if that's the type of stuff you need to do

305
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: to move the ball on the ground, I would like

306
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: to think the Cowboys can clean that up and try

307
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: to make them one dimension got Do you think that

308
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: their ineffectiveness in the run game is moore related to

309
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: the fact that they don't run enough, because they I

310
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: want to say it's two to one past to run ratio,

311
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: But do you think it's it's that if they ran?

312
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: I know, you see it. Chris Johnson looked pretty nice

313
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: on some of these runs. Do you think it's just

314
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: they don't run enough. It's not that they can't run,

315
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: it's that they choose to throw more than they run.

316
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: I think most teams, if they could run, they Yeah,

317
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: that reminds me of like the twenty eleven, twenty twelve,

318
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen Cowboys, Like if you if you could run,

319
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: you would run, like you wouldn't just leave DeMarco Murray

320
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: with nine carries on the day. That's that's not how

321
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: football works. Like that's coaches love to run the ball,

322
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: and like, yeah, Chris Johnson had a couple of runs

323
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: where he got into space, but for the most part,

324
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: you're talking like three yards in a cloud of dust,

325
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: Like two guys are past their blocks immediately, Like just

326
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: doesn't look pretty. So but what I worry about more

327
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: than anything is the Larry Fitzgerald running down the field.

328
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: He's got Jordan Lewis or Anthony Brown right there with

329
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: him horribly underthrown passes, and then you know that crafty

330
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: veteran at Fitzgerald to draw the past interference. I could

331
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: just see a bunch of PI calls because who are

332
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: these guys? Who are these guys to get a call

333
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: on Larry Fitzgerald. You know there's no way that Anthony

334
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: Brown can cover Larry Fitzgerald, right. You know that's probably

335
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: a mindset that any normal officials probably gonna have. So

336
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get the benefit of the doubt. Lets

337
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: you just go and really beat them, and that's gonna

338
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: be a challenge for them. Yeah, I agree, I mean

339
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: this will be Like I said, it sounds simple enough,

340
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: but I'm not I'm not ready to give this secondary

341
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt that they're gonna shut this

342
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: thing down. I think it's it's gonna be challenging for them.

343
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald's a Hall of Famer JJ and Nelson looks

344
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: really impressive through two weeks. You might get John Brown

345
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: back for this game, and he's he's a big play threat.

346
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: So home opener too. Yeah, the nurse two weeks. Yep,

Speaker 1: your questions or comments on Twitter at Cowboys Break. We'll

409
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: start with a question from Twitter Amber, what do we have?

410
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: I know it's way too early for this, but every wait,

411
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: let's just go ahead and its this. This is y'all

412
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: from Kimberley. I don't remember a super Bowl winning team

413
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: getting dominated like that, speaking of the game against the Broncos.

414
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: Can you remind me of it when a super Bowl

415
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: winning team did? I think Kimberly tweeted me earlier this

416
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: week and I answered her, but yeah, go ahead. Well,

417
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three, the Cowboys lost to the opener thirty

418
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: five to sixteen, to the Redskins, nineteen ninety four to

419
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers lost I believe forty to eight

420
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: at home to the Eagles, and then they went ahead

421
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,239
Speaker 1: and win the Super Bowl. This is perfect because you

422
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: always know that stuff and not the recent stuff. And

423
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: I know the resents. Let's give me some recent stuff.

424
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 1: I know what's happened. The twenty fourteen Patriots got their

425
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: doors blown off forty one to fourteen by the Chiefs

426
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: in Week three. I think Brady's done. Getta play Garoppolo.

427
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: Somebody legitimately asked Belichick after the game if like the

428
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: Brady arrow was over, and I love all fans overreact

429
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: they I think they lost one more game the rest

430
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: of that year or something like that. Like they were

431
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: pretty good. So I not say half Cowboys are gonna

432
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl, but it happens on a somewhat

433
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: ular basis, your hope the Saints. The Saints, it wasn't

434
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: a blowout, but they lost to one of the worst

435
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: football teams in the NFL that year after the Cowboys

436
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: beat them for their first loss. And was that twenty

437
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: two thousand nine. Yeah, I mean then I think Tampa

438
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: Bay came in. They lost on a walk off field goal.

439
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: It's not like they got their asses kicked. I didn't

440
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: say that. I said, but they had only won that

441
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: was their second win of the year. Yeah, but they

442
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: were bad. I don't know if they were that bad. So,

443
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: I mean it kind of ruined what the Cowboys had done.

444
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: So and they started thirteen to o and finished thirteen

445
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: and three. The whole city and then and then We're like,

446
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna go one and done in the playoffs, like,

447
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,479
Speaker 1: and they went all the way. Yep, it was awesome.

448
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: I'm trying to I'm trying to think back to like

449
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: the ninety five Cowboys that I don't believe they had

450
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: anything really too bad. Um, they had some struggling losses,

451
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: but nothing like that. But I mean it it happens

452
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: where a game could get away from you. I don't

453
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, I know they weren't Super Bowl teams,

454
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: but I brought this up, uh one, either yesterday or Monday.

455
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: The Green Bay Packers, who have been a you know,

456
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: championship contender for six or seven years in a row,

457
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: got their butts kicked in Denver two years ago, twenty

458
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 1: nine to ten, I believe. And Tom Brady loses it

459
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: mile high all the time. I mean, obviously the AFC

460
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: title game that's a little different, but he's lost regular

461
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: season games there as well. I mean, it's a tough

462
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: place to win. You would prefer that it looked a

463
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: little better, but stuff happens in the NFL. I remember

464
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: the ninety eight Cowboys were pretty good. I mean it

465
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: was a pretty good team. They were ten and six,

466
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: they won the whole that They were eight no in

467
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: the division that year, but they went to Denver and

468
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: got beat by Terrell Davis. It was probably something like

469
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: that forty two to twenty one or something where he

470
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: get he had about two hundred yards so this oh yeah,

471
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: he did the salute. Yeah, Okay, should Dak use his

472
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: legs more create the dual threat and bob bootleg? Bootleg?

473
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: How do you say? Bootleg? Roll out the pocket pass thing? Might?

474
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: I would be his game? What do you guys think?

475
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: I'd like to see him run a little bit more.

476
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: I actually, Nick you and I talked about that during

477
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: the game last week. They were down near the goal

478
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: line and I was like, I'd love to see them

479
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: spread it out here and try Dak on a quarterback

480
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: basically a quarterback draw, because I think that when you

481
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: do that, especially against a defense like that, number one

482
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: they're really aggressive and number two they got really good corners,

483
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: and I think it kind of gives you just one

484
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: more wrinkle that everybody has to think about. Your safeties

485
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: have to think about it, so they can't kind of

486
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: dip out. So if you're in man coverage, now you're

487
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: back to the quarterback you're not really paying attention. I

488
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: think it can give you a few more options if

489
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: you can, if you can use him a little bit

490
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 1: more with his leg. I don't see that bootleg much

491
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: in this offense. Last year they did it more, didn't

492
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: They just just a straight play action bootleg. He never

493
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: ran here action and threw out of it. And he's

494
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: done that a couple of times, but it doesn't seem

495
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: like they're doing it as often this year so far.

496
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: But the idea of the bootleg is really not to

497
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: run it. It's to throw it. But if if you're

498
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: you know, if you can get there. Yeah, but I

499
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: don't know, I mean ask for just straight running plays

500
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, I mean I think this will. This

501
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: is just kind of the evolution of him. I mean,

502
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: he's getting there's there's becoming a good pocket passer. He

503
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: proved that he could stand in there. He's gonna have

504
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: to be a little bit more consistent throwing from there.

505
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: But you know, once you prove you can do that,

506
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: then the other stuff will open up. Yeah, at this level.

507
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: The I think the question was like the pocket passer

508
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: thing might not be his game. It has to be

509
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: your game. In the NFL, like, you can't get by

510
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: on that. Running has to be the second option in there,

511
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: which and yeah, I mean you could draw up a

512
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: few more things I'd like, Like the boot action worked

513
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: last year. I'd like to see it a little bit more.

514
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: But he's developing as a pocket passer. He had a

515
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: good camp as a pocket passer. I'm not worried about

516
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: that in the long term. All does Dak have Romo's

517
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: ability to know what the defense is doing by alignment

518
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: and to change the play to take advantage of what

519
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: he sees pre snap. Not on that level, not yet yet.

520
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: And there's honestly, there's not many quarterbacks in the NFL

521
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: that are on Romo's level like that. He was by

522
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: the end of his career. Let's let's make that Cavy.

523
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not even Tony. You didn't

524
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: even see the field for like four years. And that's

525
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: what people forget I think sometimes, Yeah, yeah about that.

526
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: You know, Tony developed that that part. But I gotta remember,

527
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: Tony's not a tall quarterback. He's not overly athletic. He

528
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: didn't have the strongest arm, he didn't have a great

529
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: deep ball. He had that that's what he had and

530
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: that's why I think he's probably better at that than

531
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: a lot of even some of the better quarterbacks are

532
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: reading that kind of stuff, but that it's not just

533
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: that you got to be able to execute, and he was,

534
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: you know, he was good at that too. But but no,

535
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 1: I don't. I think that's unfair to call Dak on

536
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: that level. He may never be on that level to

537
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: do that, but athletically, we're talking about a different quarterback too.

538
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: I I think his grasp of the mental side of

539
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: it is above average for a second year player. I

540
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: agree with that. He's not on like the Romo Payton

541
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: Manning level. That's I mean, that's decade plus of work, right,

542
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 1: But I feel good about where he is with that.

543
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I think I don't. I don't

544
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: have any reason to believe he can't get to that point.

545
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: I just think he's a second year quarterback, and so

546
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: as a second year quarterback, he doesn't seen everything Like

547
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: this is the first time he's faced a defense like Denver.

548
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: Let's see what happens the second time he faces a

549
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: defense like Denver. You know, those are the kinds of

550
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: things that you kind of learned over time. And I'm sure,

551
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: the same thing happened with Romo as he got in

552
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: and started playing. What was year three when he started

553
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: finally playing when he gets in then after that fourth year,

554
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: so after that then he starts accumulating this information as

555
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: he plays teams. He learns about this guy, he learns

556
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: about this guy, he learns about this scheme, he learns

557
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: about that scheme, and he builds that over time. That's

558
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: not something you come in the door immediately knowing. I

559
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: don't think. Nope, just kind of how Romo has been

560
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: doing during the broadcasting, just saying calling the before it

561
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: even happens. So from his experience, what's funny. I saw

562
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: something on NFL Network. They were showing I don't even

563
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: remember the two guys one of them was the Ike

564
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: Taylor maybe yeah, yeah, they where they're hating on that,

565
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: like Colin Blitz is like, who doesn't do that? Like

566
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: everyone knows that, you know. It seems like from what

567
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: I've heard about Romo is that he has been really good.

568
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: Fans like him. He's given them a dimension that they

569
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: don't really you don't really have. I've heard media types.

570
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: I've heard you know, some of my family members. I've

571
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: heard other media guys say it, but I think you know,

572
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: he still was considered an overrated quarterback around the league.

573
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: They didn't really like this guy. They thought he got

574
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: too much pub and attention. And you can still kind

575
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: of see that the hate I guess if you will

576
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: about what he's doing on the broadcast. Better man. I've

577
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: listened to a little bit and it's it's pretty good. Yeah,

578
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: he's a little pompous though, you know, that's what he is.

579
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: He's kind of smug. Let's say that that's his person,

580
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: that's him. Wat's this He's smug. But that's okay. I mean,

581
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: I mean do it. I mean, if you can do

582
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: the same thing, if you know, then call call players

583
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: before that, before they happen. Yeah, and if that's gonna

584
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: be his calling CARF, that's gonna be what he brings

585
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,479
Speaker 1: to broadcast that other people know how to do they

586
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: just haven't done, then good for him. Yeah, that's a

587
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: that's a good calling card to have if you're watching

588
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: the game. Do you want that? I do every time,

589
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: maybe not every play, but he'll get coached. What it

590
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: becomes then is it becomes oh wow, he said, let's

591
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: see if it happens, right, it becomes kind of this

592
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: game of can you predict it right? And he's kind

593
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: of predicting it, you want to see if he's right.

594
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: So I don't think every play, but I do think

595
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: at certain points in the game, I kind of want

596
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: that kind of I haven't. I do too. I haven't.

597
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: I haven't watched a lot of it. I've seen, like

598
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: I've seen the highlights basically, But I hope when he's

599
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: done predicting why they did it, Like, when he's done

600
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: predicting it, I hope he explains why yes and yes,

601
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: and he has in the times the instances i've seen,

602
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: that's what he's gone back after said Okay, and here's

603
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: why I said this. Yeah, I've heard here's why I've

604
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: done this and one here's why they did this is

605
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: because they were thinking this, this, and this. I care

606
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: way more about the explanation than the prediction. So as

607
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,479
Speaker 1: long as he's doing that, then I don't care if

608
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: you but we've seen, like Nick, you remember we saw

609
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: this on a plane while he was with the Cowboys win.

610
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: He came that one time. It was really cool. He

611
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: spent what maybe fifteen minutes standing there on the plane

612
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: just breaking down different plays. We had just finished playing that.

613
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: They just finished playing the Giant Giants. That's right. I

614
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: told the story. I told the Sturgis the other day.

615
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: What was fascinating about it was is they played the

616
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: Giants and Tony was looking at plays on an iPad

617
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: from the Giants offense. Yes, and and he was like,

618
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: this the one where they dumping down to vereen or

619
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, like whyn't you on the sideline like looking

620
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: at yours and stuff like that. But I mean, he

621
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: was like, oh, see, this is what happens here. He's

622
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: gonna look at Church. If Church moves over here, he's

623
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: gonna come down here and then watch watch He's looking

624
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: at Sean Lee and I'm like, and he sang it

625
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: before the play begins. And then the play begins and

626
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: it's like, oh wow, yeah, that's what they get like

627
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: six yards. And there's no way he was watching it

628
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: during the game to be able to recall it. He

629
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: just couldn't recognize it. Hey, here's what they do in

630
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: this situation. Here's what I know he's looking at, and

631
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: here's how it's going to play out. And he walked off,

632
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: and yeah, we were like, and he's probably pretty good

633
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: in the booth one day, exactly right. Yeah, it's one

634
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: of the reasons why when he took the job. I

635
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: was telling some of my friends. I was like, he's

636
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: gonna be good at this, right, and now let's take

637
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,479
Speaker 1: it back to what people really care about, Like if

638
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: Dad got hurt, would he get the call? And I

639
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: know I've said it, but I think the more you

640
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: do that and that that chair is very cushiony. I went,

641
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: John Gruden, it's nice to be sitting up there and

642
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: not getting hit. It's hard to get those guys out

643
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: of that chair. I wrote a column in the spring

644
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: about how I didn't really believe Romo was done, but

645
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: like the more he settles into this, the less I believe.

646
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: And it's good at it, Like that matters. He's good

647
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: at it, and he's getting a lot of a lot

648
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: of acclaim for it. Right. He can't have anyone better

649
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: holding your hand than Jim Nance Yeah, hello, friends, I

650
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: don't know if I say anyone better, but that's a

651
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: great one to have, right. He's no Gus Johnson in

652
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: my opinion, but Michael's is pretty good it too. Okay, Well,

653
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna go on Monday night football

654
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: yet But hey, okay, maybe, hey let's talk about Patrick Peterson.

655
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Another great cornerback. Do you guys great

656
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: Alabama Tigers at Alabama? Do you guys think he will blanket?

657
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: That's Bryant, Yes, Dave, I think he will travel. That's

658
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: not that's not the question. Was answer the question blanket?

659
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: When when she said blanket, I thought they meant, you know,

660
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: is he gonna be on Daz every That's not what

661
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: they're asking. I can't. I'm yeah, Daz, you're gonna have

662
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: your work cut out for you. Sorry, yes, it's gonna okay, yeah,

663
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: I mean Brandon Whedon was the quarterback the last time

664
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: these guys played, But Patrick Peterson kicked his asshole and

665
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: he had a touchdown with I think twenty seconds left

666
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: in a blowout win. So you're saying that I shouldn't

667
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: start him in fantasy this week. I would not. I

668
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: would not. He wouldn't be one of those draft king guys.

669
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have, if you if you could

670
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: just take anybody from around the league, if it's it's

671
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: not a good week to take him right. Actually, you

672
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: know what, we have a fantasy article going up to day,

673
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: and I believe on our guys picks he has both

674
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: Dez and Zeke against against he has Dez against Patrick Peterson. Yeah,

675
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I don't want to give too

676
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: much this away because I'm writing about it later this week.

677
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: But I went back and looked. I only looked at

678
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: des plays, so I didn't chart the whole game because

679
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: I only have so much time, but plenty of time.

680
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: You have no life, and I don't care. I don't honestly.

681
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: The sad thing is, you're right. I know, um, I

682
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: don't care about your fantasy team, So just leave that

683
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: at the door. But in the part of the Broncos

684
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: game where it was still a game and you could

685
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: still be multidimensional, Des was targeted four times, caught three

686
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: of them for for thirty four yards in a touchdown,

687
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: when it was still a game where you can kind

688
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: of run your offense and you're not just chucking it.

689
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: Once they went down twenty eight to ten, what point

690
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: would you say that it was that two quarters? Was

691
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: that two and a half quarters? Like I believe, I

692
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: stopped considering it a close game at twenty eight ten,

693
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: which was early third quarter early third quarter, So through

694
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: two and some change he had four three catches for

695
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 1: three four yards in a touchdown, which is not great

696
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: but horrible against that defense and against that up What

697
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: was the incomplete? Um? I believe it was interception, wasn't it? Now?

698
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 1: That came after I thought that was twenty one to

699
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: ten and then the pick. I mean I thought that

700
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: was still kind of a game, was it not? I go, yeah,

701
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: I think twenty eight was win. Maybe it was the

702
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: run after that interception correct, when Zeke went and caught him,

703
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: might be right, then then it. I mean, I'm not

704
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to absolve Dez like he had some

705
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: bad moments in that game. It wasn't a great game

706
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,959
Speaker 1: for anybody, but in the portion of that game where

707
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: it was still within reach, I don't think he was

708
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: as bad as he gets credit for it. And a

709
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: lot of those, you know, you see the sixteen targets,

710
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: A lot of those came in a game where you're

711
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: just chunking the ball trying to do something. Okay, So

712
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: with that being said, why do you then make the

713
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: jump to blanket that that Peterson will will blanket him?

714
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: I guess because when I hear the word blanket. What

715
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 1: I'm saying, what that suggests to me is that Des

716
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: gonna get one of those one catch games. This is

717
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: going to be a game where he's not gonna get much.

718
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: Is Peterson that much better than to keep to leave?

719
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: And Chris Harris clarifying myself when she said blanket, I

720
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: just took that to mean he'll be on Dez every

721
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: snap of the game. Okay, So answer the question of

722
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: do you think that he will shut Dez down? That's

723
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: a better way. Yeah, answer it. I answer it. I

724
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: mean I would be surprised if Des has more than

725
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: three or four catches for thirty or forty yards. But

726
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: in the NFL, that's that is a shut That's not

727
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: a great game. And Patrick Peterson is one of the

728
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: best like cover corners in the NFL. I think, better

729
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: than the two of the yard that he already faced

730
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: last week, don't you know. Yes, Yeah, here's the here's

731
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: the problem in terms of he follows people around. He

732
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: can do everything, he can cover every type of receiver.

733
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: But again, just like you mentioned, Nick, I think it

734
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: was maybe yes, Ory. Sorry, I was just gonna say

735
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm biased though, that's okay, you are biased. But I

736
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: want the opinion. The reason I want the pin because

737
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: I know they're fans out there that are trying to

738
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: figure out, like we heard that he would he faced

739
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: great cornerbacks last week. Is Patrick Peterson in the same

740
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 1: vein is he better like? So that they can get

741
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: a gauge on what they think des Bryant will be.

742
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson is and has been one of the best,

743
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: like three in the league for five years now in

744
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: my opinion, So yeah, it's gonna be tough. I was

745
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: gonna say that again. I think you mentioned this the

746
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: other day, maybe yesterday. It doesn't it's not necessarily just

747
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: about the cornerback covering, does Brian. It's also the passing

748
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: Dak throwing the ball at him and being that precise.

749
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: We know how small of a window there is right there.

750
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: So from what we've seen on the other games like

751
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: that hasn't really worked out that way where Dak is

752
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: able to throw the ball exactly where he needs to

753
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: be for Dusk to catch it. There were three balls

754
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: in that last game. One ended up an interception where

755
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: if he throws his back shoulder versus throwing to the inside,

756
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: I think Desk makes that catch and I think you

757
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 1: get and you might turn into something more because he's

758
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: turning to the outside defender on the inside, turns up field,

759
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: breaks a tackle. He's off. Let's be fair to everybody. Yeah,

760
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: Dez is never gonna win the route Runner of the

761
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: Year award ever on this team or in the league,

762
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: of course, but in that instance, you're talking about a

763
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: back shoulder fate's that's not a real route. No, that's

764
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 1: not a route that's like that. It's hard to run.

765
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: You have to be that precise one, right. The thing

766
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: is is that Dez is so great at the contested

767
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: catch because he has to. Yeah, he has to be

768
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: a good contested catch guy because he's not gonna have

769
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: the best separation. And I think this big issue is

770
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: when you're talking about Peterson gonna shut down Daz or

771
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: cover him. You know, I've said a thousand times. The

772
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: issue is nobody really compliments what Dez does. And now

773
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: I think that is a problem for what the Cowboys

774
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: explaining that's done. They haven't. You look at Larry Fitzgerald

775
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 1: and you've got you know, JJ Nelson, You've got a J. Green,

776
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: and then you've got the John Ross. They don't have

777
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 1: that guy that because Dez is not your burner. Dez

778
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: is your possession guy who can go make plays. They

779
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: also have a possession guy in Terrence Williams, who I

780
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: know can run deep sometimes, but he doesn't. And Bryce

781
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 1: doesn't play enough to utilize his speed, and Cole Beasley's

782
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: not going deep. They don't have a good, compliment, complimentary

783
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: group of receivers that kind of work well together. I

784
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: feel like they've got a lot of guys that do

785
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: the same thing. But how does that explain to me

786
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: how that affects does I would love a guy that

787
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: could be in the slot and can take it to

788
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: the house where that Tyrone Matthew has to look at

789
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: him number fourteen or whoever and go that guy can run.

790
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: I don't know much about it. I know he's the

791
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: fast guy watch him, and then Dez can work underneath

792
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 1: and do stuff as opposed to not worried about him,

793
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: not worried about Beasley's not going deep. He'll go underneath,

794
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: the linebacker will hit him. Not really worried about Bryce

795
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: he'll catch it fifty percent of the time, and not

796
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: worried about this. I mean, I'm just saying they don't

797
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: have the guy that really scares you. They don't have

798
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: a scary player on a receiver other than dead and

799
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: Dez isn't really doing this scary work down the field only.

800
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: The only part that I disagree a little bit on

801
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: that is I think typically that scary player means you

802
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: get that safety, that extra safety now having to worry

803
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: about him. But a lot of times we're seeing in

804
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: these situations, especially when it's a good cornerback, there's not

805
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 1: another safety there. It's not like they're putting a safety

806
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: and the good cornerback on Dez. It's Dez against that cornerback.

807
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: And that's where you know, I don't think that changes.

808
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: If you have a scary player, he's still got to

809
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: beat that cornerback. And there isn't enough of that in

810
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: these situations for whatever reason, whether it's the ball isn't

811
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: getting there accurately enough or what are you saying that

812
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 1: they don't beat those guys aren't beating the corner the

813
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: other receivers. No, No, no, that that Dez is still

814
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: going to be man like. Dez is being played by

815
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: one man right now, and he's going to be played

816
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: by one man. If they have the scary player, it

817
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: doesn't change. That doesn't I don't you know. I was

818
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 1: listening to Bryce the other day and he was kind

819
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 1: of explaining one of dozes problem is that he plays

820
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: a too much with the cornerback, like they go back

821
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: and forth a little too much then he should and

822
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: he according to him, I mean, I'm sure he knows

823
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: way more than I do, obviously, but based on what

824
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: he's seen on tape and while he watches you know,

825
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: him watching desk playing, he says that affects him in

826
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: catching the ball and kind of staying with what he

827
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: should be doing rather than kind of battling too much

828
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: with the cornerback. You know, he spending that back and

829
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: forth back and forth. That's always been an issue with

830
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 1: with Dez. And let me say this about Bryce. I mean,

831
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: I like Bryce a lot, but I think that he

832
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 1: does have some setbacks when it comes to Jess. When

833
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: you think he's about to kind of take it, then

834
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 1: he'll he'll he'll five step forwards, two steps back. But

835
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 1: and then he made some plays and then getting past

836
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: some of the drops. And we've seen now in the

837
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: two games, there have been some some plays he should

838
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: have caught that he didn't, you know, and I really

839
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: was very optimistic about him coming out of training camp

840
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 1: because everything he showed in training camp suggested it was ready.

841
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: He was ready to take that next step. And we

842
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: just haven't seen it yet. You know, it doesn't mean

843
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: he can't. Just haven't seen it yet, you know. I

844
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: just I know it's like a dead horse that here

845
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: that I keep talking about with speed, with the speed.

846
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: But I mean, I think it affects them. I really,

847
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: it can't hurt I mean, and I kind of disagree

848
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: though with what you say about it's just des getting

849
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: one on one. It's really not. I mean, because they

850
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: do cheat a safety over which allows those corners to

851
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: be very aggressive with them and kind of play more

852
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: underneath because they know they've got somewhat, they got some help.

853
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: I think they do that sometimes. I do think there

854
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: is a lot of times though, and I've I've spent

855
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: games just watching and see what teams do against Dez,

856
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: And in these first two weeks, there have been a

857
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: lot of times when there was not a safety there,

858
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 1: there was not a safety helping out over there. It

859
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: was literally we feel good in this particular situation with

860
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: Dez being covered by men and we're gonna just leave

861
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 1: it there and see what happens. And the Cowboys haven't

862
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: been able to take advantage of it. And now again

863
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: I don't want to put that all on DEAs because

864
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,959
Speaker 1: it's not all on Dez, but the Cowboys as a team,

865
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: as an offense have not been able to take advantage

866
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: of that near as much as I think they should.

867
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: The five best cornerbacks that he's gonna face this year,

868
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 1: I think three of them are going to be right here.

869
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: Don't you think Jenkins? You stay right here? You're talking

870
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: about at home? No, these first first few games, Jenkins

871
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: to leave. You're gonna have Peters when you play when

872
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: you play Kansas, Sansas City, and then you're gonna have

873
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: Sherman when you play Seattle. That's probably the five best

874
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,439
Speaker 1: cornerbacks in the league, right, wouldn't we say? Up there? Yeah? Yeah,

875
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't who else? I don't even know some of

876
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: the other guys I can't think. I mean, like, but

877
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: who's the guy out in Tampa Bay now he used

878
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: to be in Miami, Oh Grimes. Grimes, I don't know

879
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 1: that he's on that level. I mean, he's if you

880
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: start talking about the Pro Bowl kind of cornerbacks. He's

881
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: in that category. I guess. Yeah, Hayden used to be.

882
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: I don't know this engine over the last couple of years.

883
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: Maybe he's not anymore. We're not giving any love to

884
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: his number one nemesis right now, Josh Norman. Oh, we

885
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: should put him in that category. He has to play

886
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:03,479
Speaker 1: him twice. The normal plays him well, I mean Minnesota Roads. Yeah,

887
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,399
Speaker 1: they don't face him this year. He did beat him

888
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: for a touchdown last year he did. This is a

889
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: it's a tough stretch to open the schedule. But I

890
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: guess that was great. By the way. Way to go, guys.

891
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: That little hope is great. That little tete a tete

892
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: right there. That's what we do. But I don't know.

893
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: It wasn't as bad as it as it looked. It

894
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: wasn't good. Yeah that's not what I'm saying. But it

895
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: wasn't as bad as it looked. All right, let's take

935
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 1: all right. In football, adjusting your plays are a key

936
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: to win, and if you don't adjust, you lose by

937
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,280
Speaker 1: twenty five. But underwear adjustments or something we'd rather avoid,

938
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: and we also want to avoid Derek dancing like that,

939
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 1: So in your pants adjusting like that. Isn't that their

940
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: commercial that they sing that little answer your pants? Yeah?

941
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: And it is. Yeah, Well I'm not gonna singing it. Okay, sorry,

949
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: I tried one time. I couldn't get into it, but

950
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try it again. Yeah. I don't know if

951
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 1: it's up your alley, but it is good. All right,

952
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: we'll give it a shot. Can we talk about some

953
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: running backs? Now? Talk about whatever you want to talk about? Okay,

954
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,399
Speaker 1: the backup running back. Do you guys think that they'll

955
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:22,320
Speaker 1: stick with Alfred Morris or make that a little switch

956
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: to Darren? Do people care about this? Yeah, I'm looking

957
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: at it on Twitter. Yes, apparently they do. I don't know,

958
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: and I don't care. Honestly, I'm being honest. I'm just

959
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: being honest. Ron Smith. Okay, so I'll ask this question.

960
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: Let me change the question a little bit. Do you

961
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: think in those times when you take you take Zeke

962
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: out of the game because he needs a break, do

963
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: you think the Cowboys could get more out of those

964
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 1: moments from Darren McFadden than they're getting out of Can

965
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: you point me toward an instance in any of the

966
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 1: games that Zeke has been on this team where the

967
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: backup running back did something that you thought was awesome?

968
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: But that's also goes to my point. Do you think

969
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 1: that there could have been moments when the backup running

970
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: that could have done something? It was Morris at times

971
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 1: last year. It actually I take that back because Morris

972
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: he scored a touchdown in the Washington game. Is the

973
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:16,240
Speaker 1: second career game good for him? Um? It was Morrison.

974
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: Fact right there. It's been Morris at times, It's been

975
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: McFadden at times, it's been Dunbar at times. So your

976
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: point is there's no appreciable difference between them. To make it,

977
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: to make it hasn't shown on the field. Have you

978
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: seen a game where you were like, oh, hey, that

979
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: guy made the most of his chance. No, if anything,

980
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 1: just keep Zeke on the field. I like that point.

981
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: He's twenty two years old. Just let him beat out there.

982
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: I don't I never understood this. I still don't understand it,

983
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: and I certainly I don't want to get into an

984
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 1: argument about the semantics of who's gonna do better with

985
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:53,959
Speaker 1: their three touches. Sorry, well, all I know is that

986
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones made it. Had about a seven eight minute

987
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,280
Speaker 1: conversation on the field with Darren McFadden. I don't know

988
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: what about. But what do you think? No, I was creeping.

989
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: I was like trying to their fate. You don't get

990
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: you don't get this close to each other. And now

991
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 1: that's because you just can't hear there. But yeah, that

992
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 1: conversation wasn't about Arkansas uniforms. I can promise you that

993
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 1: if it was, then Darren would have told me what

994
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 1: it was. When I asked him, he was like, I'll

995
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: just keep that between us, okay. So I don't know.

996
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe he was like, man, look to step

997
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 1: up your game. I'm sorry you've been inactive. Um, that's

998
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 1: just how the game is. Maybe it could have been

999
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: like listen, you know, as a real diehard razorbag like

1000
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: Amber said, step it up. Start practicing better, play better.

1001
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. I say patient, probably stay patient.

1002
00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,959
Speaker 1: Your time will come. We're gonna need you at some point,

1003
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: or maybe when David Irving comes back, we might be

1004
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: letting you go see what else is out there. What

1005
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: do you think would you make that cut? I will

1006
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: say this. I would say this once they figure out,

1007
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 1: like I think there's still one more hurdle, like they

1008
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: still have to wait for the fifth Circuit to come

1009
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 1: back and say for sure that they're going to deny

1010
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: the NFL's appeal for a stay. Once that's done and

1011
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: you feel that you know that that that Zeke is

1012
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: going to be here for the year, I think that

1013
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: position becomes expendable personally. Yeah, I do. And so if

1014
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: that's around the time or before the time that they

1015
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: may have to make a decision on David Irving, I

1016
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: certainly look at it. I definitely look at And I'm

1017
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: not saying I choose. I'm not saying I necessarily choose

1018
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,879
Speaker 1: Afford Morris over him, but I think one of them

1019
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,399
Speaker 1: becomes expendable when you know that Zeke's gonna be here

1020
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: barring injury. I think that's that definitely becomes a position

1021
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: that's in play. I agree with you, but that would

1022
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 1: still surprise me because that's not that's not the type

1023
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: of cut that they do like for whatever reason. I mean,

1024
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: they didn't they cut Darius Jackson when they could have

1025
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: cut a host of other veteran guys. That's a good point.

1026
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 1: I would be less surprised if they cut Rod Smith

1027
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: and the two of those guys, even though I think

1028
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: that would be I would me personally, I would not

1029
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, that seems more like they're kind of

1030
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: cut is they would cut him before they would cut

1031
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: those two better. I agree. All right, let's get a

1032
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: phone call. We got a call from Troy and Philly. Troy,

1033
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: what up? Hey, what's up? Guys? Hey going on? Hey, Hello, Yeah,

1034
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 1: we're here. Okay, Um, you know what, guys. I'm like,

1035
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not gonna I'm not gonna jump off a

1036
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: cliff over what over Sunday's game. I'm still I still

1037
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: believe this is this is a championship team and that

1038
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna be okay. Um, but I do think of

1039
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: maybe a little presumptuous for us to think that, oh well,

1040
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 1: they're not going to say anybody else like this again,

1041
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: and that may be true on the schedule, on the

1042
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: actual schedule, but I think they are going to have

1043
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: to figure out these types of defenses in order to

1044
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 1: go where they need to go, where they want to go.

1045
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: I mean teams like Minnesota, we'll see what happened with

1046
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: Arizona this week, Seattle there White, They're gonna have to

1047
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 1: beat these types of teams in order to advance and

1048
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 1: get to that championship level. So I think that Lanahan

1049
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: and Dak and these guys are gonna have to figure

1050
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 1: out these types of defenses if they're gonna go anywhere.

1051
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, we may be a little

1052
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: presumptuous to say, oh, well, they're not gonna see anybody

1053
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: like this again, good luck at you know those teams

1054
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: that can do that. Heys, they're gonna have to figure

1055
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: this thing out. Also, Hey, Troy, real quick, real quick,

1056
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: before you get to your second question, you should have

1057
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: this question for you. Do you put the Giants in

1058
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: that same not not maybe as good, but in that

1059
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 1: same level when you're talking about the Arizonas and some

1060
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 1: of these other defenses that you just mentioned. Is New

1061
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: York in that same category? Um? I do, But I

1062
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: think New York has to figure out their offense a

1063
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: little bit more like I think if if if New

1064
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: York could have, um, if they could have put up

1065
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 1: some type of offense, I think that would have been

1066
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: a much more contested game. UM. But I think New

1067
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,280
Speaker 1: York is different and that you know, they just couldn't

1068
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 1: move the ball. We you know, defense was all over

1069
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: those guys. It was like two hundred and thirty yards

1070
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 1: they got. I think the New York is a little

1071
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 1: bit different from from some of those other teams. And

1072
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: I realized some of the other teams have some of

1073
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: their right Minnesota same thing, I think, right they do,

1074
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: they do. But then so there's the Cowboys, you know.

1075
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: So but I think that in terms of offense to

1076
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: to to that to that type of defense, they are

1077
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: gonna have to prove that they can beat that type

1078
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: or that they can play better against that type of defense.

1079
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: That's my other thing is And you guys actually talked

1080
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: about touching them a little bit yesterday. Where is Zeke

1081
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 1: in the passing game? Like we were promised it don't

1082
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 1: know if we were promised, but you know, we thought

1083
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 1: that this was gonna happen, and I mean not if

1084
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: daz t will and Beasley isn't open, just hit him

1085
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,280
Speaker 1: on the flair out. I mean, where are the schemed

1086
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 1: plays that will route or you know, getting him, scheming

1087
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: them up so he's on a linebacker or safety or

1088
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 1: whoever getting them in space. Well, I mean we've already

1089
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 1: seen what he can do um in the screen game

1090
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: where I think this, these guys are gonna have to

1091
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:57,879
Speaker 1: figure out getting your your best players getting the ball

1092
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: into Zeke's hands and we're Switzer like, you know, where's

1093
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 1: he in the offense? I think he's another weapon. I

1094
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: just think these guys are going to have to empty

1095
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 1: the barrel with those types of the defenses. And I'll

1096
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,320
Speaker 1: hang up and listen to you, all right, Troy appreciate

1097
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: the comment. All Right, you know what, I don't I

1098
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: agree with the first party he was saying. Yeah, they

1099
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: are going to have to play well against defenses. We're

1100
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: not saying that this is the only good defense that

1101
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 1: they're gonna face. But I don't think you can say

1102
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: that are they going to face a better pass rusher

1103
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: than that? No, if they whoever is close to that

1104
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 1: doesn't have two really good corners, a tandemal corner and

1105
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 1: even though it sounds like an excuse, it's not. They

1106
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: It is a tough place to play on the road

1107
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 1: with the crowd, and especially when you're down in the

1108
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: game and having to throw back into it. You're not

1109
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: going to face a tougher crowd, a tougher pass rusher,

1110
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: and two tougher corners. That doesn't mean those teams you

1111
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: mentioned aren't going to be presenting different types of challenges.

1112
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 1: But I think what we were saying is is that

1113
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,320
Speaker 1: might be the toughest that it's gonna get. Now when

1114
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: you put the aggregate together, and they got beat by

1115
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: twenty five, So that's not a good thing. And just

1116
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: to say that, well Seattle won't be as tough, they

1117
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: can still win, right. I mean, we're not saying that

1118
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 1: they're out of the woods here, like they'll be fine

1119
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 1: because I said yesterday, it's not just that they'll face

1120
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: a much better offense than that. So it wasn't good.

1121
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 1: They've got a lot to figure out. I will say this,

1122
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: the last time that this offensive line, this wasn't this team,

1123
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,840
Speaker 1: but this offensive line faced Seattle. They beat him up

1124
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: pretty good upfront. It was not the same game as

1125
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 1: what you saw last week against Denver, when it came

1126
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: to those two fronts battling, they beat him up and

1127
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 1: they took it to him pretty good. When when they

1128
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: went up to Seattle and played in Seattle that well

1129
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, they didn't do too bad either, right, Yeah, um,

1130
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: that's not that that Seattle lines a little better though

1131
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,720
Speaker 1: than it was then. Absolutely, and but but it still

1132
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: is if you look at it, player for player, Yeah,

1133
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 1: I think it's very comparable to what they saw in

1134
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 1: Denver last week. You know. That's that I told you

1135
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: about yesterday. I also told it to Shannon and Shannons

1136
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: and goes, I'm I'm putting this on the air today.

1137
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna say it on the Hanging with

1138
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: the Voice. So I was like, well, before you do that,

1139
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I'm gonna reveal it on ours. You

1140
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 1: just killed this segment. Oh, I found the stato. That's true.

1141
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: I found the stat Anyway, I have no love for

1142
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,359
Speaker 1: standon and hanging with the boys that Ate. Nate's got

1143
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 1: a good love, Nate. I love those guys and I

1144
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 1: love what they now. I like the I like the

1145
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: dynamics that you've got working over there. Now, Um, the

1146
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,399
Speaker 1: last time they've been beat by twenty five points or more.

1147
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: I looked the last five times. Took it took all

1148
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 1: the way back to like two thousand and six with

1149
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: the Saints. But um, that was a forty two seventeen game.

1150
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,399
Speaker 1: Exactly five times that they've been beat by twenty five.

1151
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: They come back the next week, they win them all.

1152
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 1: They've won them all and then and three times they've

1153
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,399
Speaker 1: won at least two. So then I said, all right,

1154
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: twenty one points. So I found the last ten times

1155
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: they've beat by three touchdowns or more. Their record is

1156
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,399
Speaker 1: nine and one. The next week, no, nine and one,

1157
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 1: the next game, nine and oh the next week the

1158
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 1: one the one loss was after the Patriots in twenty fifteen.

1159
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: They had a bye week, then they went and changed

1160
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: quarterbacks put Castle and they still lost. But they're nine

1161
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 1: o nine and one in the next game after they

1162
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 1: lose by twenty one points or more in the last ten,

1163
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 1: So a nice little stat. Yeah, yes they're coming, I mean,

1164
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: and six of those ten are in the Garrett era.

1165
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: So Garrett gets his team ready to you know, and

1166
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 1: and it's sort of the nature of the NFL. You

1167
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: kind of get handed to you come back, and so

1168
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: if you got a good team, well yeah, and that's

1169
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:29,839
Speaker 1: what I was saying. Some of those teams aren't that good,

1170
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: you know, Um the forty five one of those was

1171
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 1: that forty five to seven lost to the Packers. Um,

1172
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:39,839
Speaker 1: when the website went down and then the coach it's

1173
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: funny now, No, it's not, will never ever ever show

1174
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: about it, will never ever be funny, right, not even

1175
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,800
Speaker 1: a little bit funny. Now, it's pretty not great to

1176
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: stop at Amber. Seriously, I expect expect that from them.

1177
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: I don't expect that from you. All. Right, let's take one.

1178
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 1: That's that's good play that drop more. Okay, we know

1179
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 1: that the Montre Moore is coming back, yep, and we've

1180
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:09,280
Speaker 1: kind of talked about him yesterday. But what are y'all's

1181
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 1: expectations on him? Is he going to be a player

1182
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,359
Speaker 1: that when he returns, is going to impact the game.

1183
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: I think he'll be active and he'll rotate in. He's

1184
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: not going to start. I wouldn't guess. And I mean

1185
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: four sacks with the season for the season five five,

1186
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: but you got de Montre getting five sacks. Maybe he

1187
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: looked really good in the pre he did. Yeah, that's

1188
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's so hard to judge. You know, he's

1189
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: been off for two weeks. How long does it take

1190
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 1: him to bounce back. He's been here working out, so

1191
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: it's not like he's just been away from football completely.

1192
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: He looked good in the preseason, but was that against

1193
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: bad players or good players? This is a crappy Arizona line,

1194
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 1: as I just detailed. So I mean, I don't think

1195
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna like blow up in this game. But he'll

1196
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: be out there and you'll notice him. That's what I'll say.

1197
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 1: They have five sacks right now, four by Marcus Lawrence,

1198
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: one by Tapper. They're on pace for their first forty

1199
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 1: sacks season since twenty eleven. Yeah, and most of that

1200
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: is obviously DeMarcus. But but you know what I like,

1201
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: got to imagine somebody else is going to come along

1202
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: with him at some point. But yes, and what I

1203
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 1: do like about that is, if you've got if you've

1204
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: got somebody like DeMarcus, if he continues not this pace,

1205
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting him to keep this pace of two

1206
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: sacks per game, that would be a record. But if

1207
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 1: but if as other people's exactly, if he's if he's

1208
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: active like he's been continues to do that. You get

1209
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 1: a guy like Irvan Becky in, you get a guy

1210
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 1: like Demontre Morian, you get you're working already working with

1211
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 1: Malie Collins and Stephen pie. I think it kind of

1212
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: builds on itself to where they can create a pretty

1213
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: good pass rush just consistently over the season, and that's

1214
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 1: what they I think in the last few times they've

1215
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: been to the playoffs, I think pass rush has been

1216
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: one of their achilles heels. I think they actually might

1217
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: have something to work with. Is that right? Wow? Yeah? Yeah,

1218
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: who knew? Who thought that? But yeah, I mean there's reason,

1219
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 1: there's reason for optimism, all right. I think I think

1220
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 1: Demontre will be solid. All right, let's say that's that's

1221
