Speaker 1: Chris Beam as always in the back. I'm Kyle Yeoman's
Speaker 1: glad you're with us here. With the next forty five minutes,
Speaker 1: we are going to preview the Las Vegas offense versus
Speaker 1: the Dallas defense. And we're gonna take your calls as well.
Speaker 1: Eight eight eight eight five five two two ninety seven.
Speaker 1: That is eight eight eight eight five five two two
Speaker 1: nine seven. We'll do that coming up here in just
Speaker 1: a little bit. Gentlemen, how are we doing today? Peach
Speaker 1: Peachie swell, swell and Peachy as well, doing good. We're
Speaker 1: bracing the short week, aren't we. Yeah, no, you gotta
Speaker 1: get after his twenty four hour rule. Let's get out,
Speaker 1: get in, get out. Let's not talk last game. I'm confused.
Speaker 1: I don't know what day it is. I don't know
Speaker 1: what time. What's going on? Man? It we got a
Speaker 1: game on that. So this is officially our Thursday to Thursday.
Speaker 1: This is the Jason Garrett thing. It's like it's it's
Speaker 1: a Wednesday, but it's really like a third It's a Wednesday, Thursday,
Speaker 1: and then tomorrow will be like a Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
Speaker 1: actually Friday, it's Friday. Well because if day's Thursday, yeah yeah, yeahah,
Speaker 1: but we've got two shows later for them, it's a Friday.
Speaker 1: For us, it's a Thursday. It's a Friday. Okay, cool
Speaker 1: Friday to them. Yeah. Mike mccartley was talking about it yesterday.
Speaker 1: He said it was it looked like a Wednesday when
Speaker 1: they walked in because they had all the packets and
Speaker 1: stuff and the quality control was all there, and they
Speaker 1: always they were ready for the Vegas Raiders whenever they
Speaker 1: walked in the door, which is good. And the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are back on the practice field today, Rob what does
Speaker 1: a week of practice look like this week. Whenever it
Speaker 1: is such limited time to get ready for Thursday, it's
Speaker 1: usually it's no pads. It's it's in and out almost
Speaker 1: like not meetings on the field, but very very light.
Speaker 1: And Mike reference it yesterday, especially once again with these
Speaker 1: uncommon opponents that they have not had a ton of
Speaker 1: success against in this AFC West. It's a lot of
Speaker 1: film study, it's a lot of quick crash course on
Speaker 1: what these guys do well, and there is some familiarity,
Speaker 1: especially with the coaching staffs on the defensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball. But yeah, it's I think it's probably more
Speaker 1: mental than physical this week. Is that a good thing
Speaker 1: or a bad thing for this team? Because I don't
Speaker 1: know if I really know that ants or yet after
Speaker 1: what we've seen to the last three weeks, it's a
Speaker 1: good point. A lot of flash cards, a lot of
Speaker 1: flash cards to ross point this week it's men's mental.
Speaker 1: I mean, you physically can't go beat your guys down.
Speaker 1: They're still recovering. I mean it takes Sunday game, We're
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Your body honestly doesn't start feeling better like
Speaker 1: until about Wednesday of a normal week. So tomorrow, guys
Speaker 1: will be like, all right, I'm all right that that
Speaker 1: game is starting to come up off me a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And so I mean then you're at the twenty four
Speaker 1: hour rule. So you can't do a lot of physically
Speaker 1: because you because you will still literally be recovering from
Speaker 1: last week's game. No, I mean both of you, guys
Speaker 1: will spot on and the way that you handle this
Speaker 1: is just trying to get I don't know even know
Speaker 1: if this guys can be healthy by Thursday. You just
Speaker 1: limp into Thursday. But and right now, I guess what
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about watching the Raiders is, man, could
Speaker 1: we potentially be paying playing the right team at the
Speaker 1: wrong moment right now? And and so I just look,
Speaker 1: there's a lot about them offensively and defensively that you
Speaker 1: if you start fast, you go in there, you handle
Speaker 1: your businesses. You can make this an easy game, or
Speaker 1: you could make this a long Thanksgiving for everybody. Yes,
Speaker 1: you could very easily. We're going to get into that
Speaker 1: coming up here in just a little bit. But first
Speaker 1: news and notes, a couple of guys given some updates
Speaker 1: on yesterday. Mike McCarthy was at the podium. We'll start
Speaker 1: with Ceedee Lamb. What's the possibility of him getting out
Speaker 1: of concussion protocol and ready to go for Thursday? I
Speaker 1: mentioned yesterday on the show, and it's does sound promising
Speaker 1: or possible. Mike said he was in all the meetings yesterday,
Speaker 1: so that is encouraging. There's a multi step process to
Speaker 1: eventually getting back on the field. You have to pass
Speaker 1: all these separate steps in the concussion protocol, but it's possible.
Speaker 1: You got two days left, so we'll see there. And
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence is getting closer. He's going to be starting
Speaker 1: his practice window soon, maybe as early as this week.
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't look for him to play in this game,
Speaker 1: but Saints are next week possibility, So who that starting
Speaker 1: to get healthy and looks so I guess he's ahead
Speaker 1: of schedule compared to like Randy Gregory or Neville Gallimore
Speaker 1: in terms of being activated at this point. It's what
Speaker 1: has taken so long for Neville Gallimore. Was there a
Speaker 1: setback there that we don't know about? Was there something
Speaker 1: going on there because it was a dislocated elbow. That's
Speaker 1: a lot for a defense interior defensive alignment. I see
Speaker 1: and I don't disagree I mean, you're pressing against three
Speaker 1: hundred plus pounders. Every play, you're reaching, you're literally trying
Speaker 1: to shed the blocks and reach out there, and which
Speaker 1: got him in trouble the first time. Right, you're you're
Speaker 1: you're engaged with a block, and now you're trying to
Speaker 1: reach out and stop another two hundred and some pound
Speaker 1: man running full speed. That elbow has to be right,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of ligaments and joints in there
Speaker 1: which have to be strengthened. So that's and I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure he'll be out there playing with the the you know,
Speaker 1: the the good old Don way, you know, knee brace
Speaker 1: as an elbow brace on there like Tyros Smith, Tyre Smith. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you should patent that. That's a bad injury though for
Speaker 1: for a defense alignment, because it was originally what six
Speaker 1: to eight weeks was the initial diagnosis, but it's been
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what they said about ten weeks said.
Speaker 1: That's what they said about Tank too. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: know when Tank broke his foot in twenty fourteen, it
Speaker 1: was closer to like this timetable. So no, and they've
Speaker 1: had success. You don't have to rush guys, and they're
Speaker 1: not gonna rush guys anyways, But what's up? Heck, why
Speaker 1: won't you tell me? Why don't you tell us about
Speaker 1: what I tell the people what they want to hear.
Speaker 1: I can't do that. I tried to be optimistic Friday
Speaker 1: to really to make you happy, and it didn't work.
Speaker 1: You wanted me to go about fifty percent. I went
Speaker 1: about fifty percent. He didn't play, So I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say fifty percent. He will be questionable. I
Speaker 1: think we'll see. Now. Look, they do sound more optimistic
Speaker 1: this week than they did last week, Stephen said, barring
Speaker 1: a setback, I think he's playing. Yes, you can ask
Speaker 1: a question, yeah, not knowing what we do know about
Speaker 1: what just took place in that game on the defense
Speaker 1: in front for them, for them, for the opposing team.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna refer so forget what happened, forget what
Speaker 1: happened last week? Which game is it more important for
Speaker 1: a tiring to be there last last week's game or
Speaker 1: this week's game? This week's game, for sure, no doubt.
Speaker 1: I agree, unbelievably, no doubt. I would have taken him Sunday,
Speaker 1: would this week day? Yeah? Yeah? Against well the strength
Speaker 1: any Kansas City any weeks, any week. I agree. The
Speaker 1: strength of Kansas City's defense is Chris Jones and the interior.
Speaker 1: The strength of the Vegas defense is off the edge.
Speaker 1: What are they taking over there? Can I just ask
Speaker 1: that question? What how do you take what kind of
Speaker 1: subliman's already taken over there that they are juiced up
Speaker 1: the entire game? The motor is, the motor is real
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball. They I mean, goodness, gracious,
Speaker 1: you think it's preseason and somebody's trying to get a
Speaker 1: roster spot. But Max Crosby has always been like that.
Speaker 1: Max is just he is every everything ONNA go to
Speaker 1: with him. But man, usually when I when we come
Speaker 1: in here on Monday, I watched the game twice. I
Speaker 1: couldn't watch the game on twice on Sunday, I can
Speaker 1: only watch it once. But Chris Jones, Man, dog yah, dude,
Speaker 1: just ninety five dak is still see in ninety five,
Speaker 1: you know, like you stare at the sun close. He
Speaker 1: didn't change the numbers, dude, because offense, offensive line got dominated.
Speaker 1: That's why I asked the question about Tyren Smith because
Speaker 1: we need him back period. I mean for our running game. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's so much to be desired. Our offense just sputtered
Speaker 1: and you can't get anything going. I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people have been on Dak, but man, what could
Speaker 1: Dak do? Literally, what could Dak do? He had no
Speaker 1: time even in the offense where his queens as quick
Speaker 1: as any quarterback in the league at getting the ball off,
Speaker 1: he just had at no time. Yeah, period, And watching
Speaker 1: the game back because I didn't hear the broadcast Sunday,
Speaker 1: but Troy mentioned that that, you know, he's he's not
Speaker 1: in rhythm, and I think people maybe want to compare,
Speaker 1: you know, correlate it to the calf and all that.
Speaker 1: Jerry on the fan this morning. So that's not it's
Speaker 1: not an issue. I do think he was out of sync,
Speaker 1: you know, when your protection is not there. Look, he's
Speaker 1: got to make throws, and he didn't play as well
Speaker 1: as he needs. A player Byte knows that he's got
Speaker 1: to play better. But but yeah, I think the protection.
Speaker 1: We said it yesterday, that was the biggest factor. I
Speaker 1: think offensively, and look, you were right too, because because
Speaker 1: Mike said it yesterday, Jerry echoed it. They agree with you. Heck,
Speaker 1: they needed to run the ball more than they did Sunday.
Speaker 1: That's sixteen carries and that was a season low. By
Speaker 1: the way I averaged it out, they were averaging thirty
Speaker 1: one attempts or thirty two attempts a game going in.
Speaker 1: Now you've played with a ton of leads, but they
Speaker 1: probably should have strived for more balance in that game
Speaker 1: than they had. And that's gonna be something to talk
Speaker 1: about in tomorrow's show too, because I want to ask
Speaker 1: about the rushing offense, the rushing attack, because it has
Speaker 1: not been great over the last month really since the
Speaker 1: Giants game, really since then. You're exactly right, since the
Speaker 1: Giants game, there's hasn't been the same level of success.
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be a lot of what tomorrow show is.
Speaker 1: But before we start taking calls, and we'll take some
Speaker 1: calls after our first break, but let's talk about this
Speaker 1: Las Vegas offense. Derek Carrent company, what I mean. This
Speaker 1: has been such a crazy season for them off the field,
Speaker 1: and it's starting to translate on the field. The Vegas
Speaker 1: Raiders have lost three straight games ever since their bye
Speaker 1: week and their bye week which was the bye week
Speaker 1: that included the Henry Ruggs incident. And he's still being
Speaker 1: processed through all of that, he's been released. He is
Speaker 1: not no longer a part of the Raiders organization. John
Speaker 1: Gruden was a couple of weeks before that, he was
Speaker 1: let go parted ways by the Raiders organization. And then
Speaker 1: after that, Damon Arnett, first round cornerback last year, taking
Speaker 1: out of the picture because of a social media video.
Speaker 1: So this has been a trying season for the Las
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders from the get go, and they are they
Speaker 1: at first, we're able to kind of weather the storm
Speaker 1: a little bit and want a couple of games. But
Speaker 1: since that bye week, since the Rugs deal and then
Speaker 1: the Arnette release, they've lost three straight and they have
Speaker 1: not looked great so offensively. What are the strengths of
Speaker 1: this team and why is that not necessarily translated over
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. And this team really is
Speaker 1: a hard team to gauge, And obviously because of the
Speaker 1: controversy and everything that us just said, that's an understatement.
Speaker 1: Now I wouldn't have to deal with all of that
Speaker 1: as a team and then still have to go out
Speaker 1: and face opponent opponents. But Coachsachia, there used to be
Speaker 1: rich Besachia. They used to be a special teams coach here,
Speaker 1: It's done absolutely his best to try and get things
Speaker 1: on the road. This last three games slide for them
Speaker 1: has been bad. Defensively, they have looked like we talk
Speaker 1: about the motor and some of the things and players
Speaker 1: that they have, but you go back and you look
Speaker 1: at the film and you go man, especially against the
Speaker 1: game against the Giants is the one that I watched
Speaker 1: that and and just seeing the faults in their defense
Speaker 1: and some of the guys that they have on the
Speaker 1: outside that are good scheme, but in the middle of
Speaker 1: their offense and excuse me, the middle of their defensive line,
Speaker 1: they have some problems where and I think we can
Speaker 1: explore that just talking about the running game. But offensively
Speaker 1: they haven't been able to do a lot since they've
Speaker 1: lost some of the key pieces. But Hunter renfro is
Speaker 1: a look, he's not a speecher, he's a he's a tech.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a very technical wide receiver. But they
Speaker 1: have a guy number eighty three, Darren Waller, and I'm
Speaker 1: really curious to see what you think about him, because
Speaker 1: in evaluating the tape on eighty three and Derek Carr,
Speaker 1: that is his safety blinking he wants to get the
Speaker 1: ball out of his hands. He wants to get the
Speaker 1: ball to number eighty three. Jacob's in the running game. Okay,
Speaker 1: But they have a guy by the name m Kenyan
Speaker 1: Drake if you guys forgot about him last year twenty carriage,
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty four yards and two tugs on us. Yeah, Arizona.
Speaker 1: So I mean, look, man, I yield the floor you guys.
Speaker 1: Let me know, Jo, what do you think I said?
Speaker 1: I think these guys are past a passing team. However,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, to Heckma's point, you know, they've
Speaker 1: had a heck of a rough year that I don't
Speaker 1: even know how you even play. But they've had a
Speaker 1: rough year, and this team is capable of a lot.
Speaker 1: This team is very capable. These guys are momentum type team,
Speaker 1: especially offensively. They have a lot of youth. They're the foundation.
Speaker 1: Let's go back to Gruden. The foundation of their team
Speaker 1: is hard nose players. That's the foundation of their team. Right.
Speaker 1: Obviously things are changing now, Hey, coach isn't there anymore,
Speaker 1: but the players are still there. And those guys were
Speaker 1: there because they were gutsy type, hard nose get after
Speaker 1: it balls to the wall type players offensively and defensively.
Speaker 1: Jacob's at the running back position is a freaking horse
Speaker 1: if you let him get going, which you can't allow
Speaker 1: to happen. But these guys respect their offense because as
Speaker 1: good as our offense is, their third best in the
Speaker 1: league been passing, we're fifth. Don't forget, I'm gonna run
Speaker 1: that back. We're third. I mean, they're third in the
Speaker 1: league in passing. We're fifth in the league in passing.
Speaker 1: So we better respect what they can do offensively on
Speaker 1: that side of the ball. David Carr, get to him.
Speaker 1: If you can get to him, he'll turn the ball
Speaker 1: over if you don't get to him. These guys are
Speaker 1: like they are another juggernaut team there. If you allow
Speaker 1: them to get confidence, they'll get rolling. Because they're athletic,
Speaker 1: they're tough, They got some they got some cats that
Speaker 1: that really don't care what you got to say or do.
Speaker 1: They're gonna bush you in your mouth. They're gonna keep fighting. Um.
Speaker 1: They don't have any softies over there, So um to
Speaker 1: that point, David Waller or when you're Darren Darren Waller,
Speaker 1: Waller's a dude. He's a big boy. He can run,
Speaker 1: he creates mismatches. A lot of his big plays come
Speaker 1: off of play action. So if you can if you
Speaker 1: can negate the running game, then you can kind of
Speaker 1: negate what Waller does. Curse has his hands full and
Speaker 1: then on the outside obviously with Renfro He's he's a
Speaker 1: dude too. He's what fifty six yard fifty six catches
Speaker 1: for twenty four So I mean he's he's he's a guy.
Speaker 1: He's he's pretty elusive route runner kind of it's kind
Speaker 1: of weird. Yeah, what a stretch for Jabron Curse, Travis Kelsey,
Speaker 1: and Darren Waller in four days. That's that's an He
Speaker 1: had a nice pick. He had a nice pick in
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday. Yeah, for sure. Shout out to
Speaker 1: Eddie and the Raiders Digital team because they've been through
Speaker 1: a lot o friends with the Raiders, they've been through
Speaker 1: a lot this year. Rich Besaca to your point, he's
Speaker 1: a family guy. I think he's the he's the perfect
Speaker 1: guy for them to step in and try to lead
Speaker 1: this team through all the things they've been through so far. Um, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're they're they're a good passing team. Derek Cark and
Speaker 1: Sling it. We've watched it for years. Um, they haven't
Speaker 1: been as prolific than they're in this three game losing
Speaker 1: streak though. I mean, he racked up the yards of
Speaker 1: the first month. He's been at two ninety six, two
Speaker 1: sixty one, two fifteen. The last three games all losses,
Speaker 1: and they've they've scored sixteen, fourteen and thirteen this past
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Bengals. And I, you know, talked about
Speaker 1: guys the Cowboys are missing yesterday tyrn Amari. Again, I
Speaker 1: don't think those are excuses. I think those are facts.
Speaker 1: I think obviously those guys can help the Cowboys offense.
Speaker 1: Not having Henry Ruggs in their lineup is clearly making
Speaker 1: a difference. Yeah, I mean, heck and I talked about
Speaker 1: before the show. For years, this has been a team
Speaker 1: offense based on speed. They draft speed, they want to be,
Speaker 1: they want to get vertical, and they don't have that
Speaker 1: element of their offense right now. Waller's their guy, and
Speaker 1: he's an outstanding tight end, maybe the best in the league,
Speaker 1: but you know, they don't seem to have that element
Speaker 1: right now, and they've been playing from behind and it's
Speaker 1: been difficult. And they've also had some guys, some changes
Speaker 1: in their offensive line that changed out a couple spots
Speaker 1: in their interior because of injuries, so they haven't been
Speaker 1: as prolific. We'll see if they can get anything going
Speaker 1: in this game. Though. That's a great point because when
Speaker 1: you look at the Cowboys defense, what has been the
Speaker 1: number one most consistent weakness all year long? Giving up
Speaker 1: the big play that's consistently across the board been a
Speaker 1: weakness because they give up the big play quite a bit.
Speaker 1: The Raiders have two plays over fifty yards this season.
Speaker 1: One of them was to Henry Ruggs, who's no longer
Speaker 1: part of the team, and that was a sixty one
Speaker 1: yard touchdown. And then Brian Edwards had a fifty one
Speaker 1: yard score as well, So he's a decent receiver on
Speaker 1: the back end well as well. I liked him out
Speaker 1: of South Carolina whenever the draft world around a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago. But overall, you don't look at this
Speaker 1: team and you say they're built for the big play.
Speaker 1: I don't see that. I don't see them being built
Speaker 1: for the big play. I see them built for sustaining drives,
Speaker 1: moving the ball down the field, which in my mind
Speaker 1: worse Oh yeah, I was thinking it matched up better
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys defense. You don't think so, I don't.
Speaker 1: Why is out It's easier to stop a team that
Speaker 1: relies on a big play. We just did it. Okay,
Speaker 1: we just did it. We stopped a team that relies
Speaker 1: on the big play. Ken City's not built off of
Speaker 1: sustaining drives. Kann City has built off of big plays, right,
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, you know you back your safeties up, you
Speaker 1: make share those guys that when he crosses that formation,
Speaker 1: I mean he crosses the field that you have your
Speaker 1: backside of safety, cut them off and all those things.
Speaker 1: Teams that are built to sustain drives. Those are teams
Speaker 1: that wear you out. Those are teams that wear you
Speaker 1: out if you allow them. They're they're equal opportunists. Right
Speaker 1: to give Jacob's the ball, he'll beat you down a
Speaker 1: little bit. Then you play action, you get Waller the ball.
Speaker 1: Then you go to Renfro and these guys are used
Speaker 1: to ten, twelve, fourteen play drives. Those are the teams
Speaker 1: you worry about because they'll just they'll just keep eating
Speaker 1: away at you, eating away at you, because there's not
Speaker 1: one thing that you that you're waiting on. You're not
Speaker 1: waiting on them to make that one big attempt at
Speaker 1: a big play for you to get to capitalize off
Speaker 1: that mistake. They're not. They're not that team. So in
Speaker 1: frame my eyes, it's actually worse for us. Now they
Speaker 1: have less weapons, So that's always awesome, right, But in
Speaker 1: terms of holistic and their approach as as a team,
Speaker 1: when they're third in the league and passing, these guys
Speaker 1: will chip away at you. I was thinking more of
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are built for a matchup better than that.
Speaker 1: I feel like they're built to take on teams that
Speaker 1: are built that way. Yeah, I mean that are ready
Speaker 1: to take absolutely thinking about how dangerous as a team
Speaker 1: when they're third in the league and passing and they
Speaker 1: only have two plays over fifty yards. Yeah, but you
Speaker 1: gotta sustain drives and they haven't been able to sustain
Speaker 1: drive late yet these last couple of games, I think, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: lately fourteen straight unsuccessful third down attempts going back to
Speaker 1: Kansas City in this Bengals game ward they're having, you know,
Speaker 1: and they've got to Sean Jackson to try to try
Speaker 1: to get that get that vertical element back, but it
Speaker 1: hasn't you know, it hasn't connected. I thought I was
Speaker 1: reading that wrong when I saw the Sean Jackson's name.
Speaker 1: Why won't he just retire and go away? That's been
Speaker 1: a problem here. I do not like that guy. He
Speaker 1: just comes out of the Salvation army kettle. Where did
Speaker 1: he come from? And here he is um. But but
Speaker 1: you guys are right. I mean, either way it goes.
Speaker 1: I think first down and third down, we've been played
Speaker 1: giving up the big run on first down, giving up
Speaker 1: you're not getting off the field on third down. It's
Speaker 1: going to be important for us. This team is one
Speaker 1: that if you get on top of them, Derek Carr
Speaker 1: will make mistakes. He will turn the ball over, and
Speaker 1: we've seen where turnovers coming bunches for this team. I
Speaker 1: think the weakness for the Raiders is their offensive line,
Speaker 1: and I think Alex Leatherwood, Uh, the guy that they
Speaker 1: drafted I think seventeenth overall and everyone was surprised by
Speaker 1: him out of Alabama. He's a big old dude, right guard,
Speaker 1: right guard, but he was originally attacked at Alabama. He
Speaker 1: was attacked. Yeah, so they tried him at tackle and
Speaker 1: he was horrible. And then his p f F grade.
Speaker 1: As we you know as I'm trying to win this argument,
Speaker 1: his p f F grade was bad and they moved
Speaker 1: him down to guard. But again, another really big guy
Speaker 1: that I think you could take advantage of on the
Speaker 1: offensive line. Our guys have got to pin their ears
Speaker 1: back and come after their car period. Dot the end,
Speaker 1: Layton vander esh has to have a better game in coverage,
Speaker 1: in the run game. All of those things are going
Speaker 1: to be contingent on the success that we're gonna have.
Speaker 1: But I just feel like as a matchup is concerned with,
Speaker 1: even without having our weapons and tanking Randy, I just
Speaker 1: feel like being able to attack these guys get their
Speaker 1: car on the ground, he will make some mistakes and
Speaker 1: give us the ball. So where should the bazooka? Ba oh?
Speaker 1: I was just about to ask that question. There's so
Speaker 1: so two things in this game. Because I understand where
Speaker 1: his value is on the edge, you can bring him
Speaker 1: all the time. But when Zuka is Michael Parsons by
Speaker 1: the way, but also the show, but also the way
Speaker 1: that we've seen that he could cover running backs out
Speaker 1: of the backfield. I mean, I'm I'm really of the
Speaker 1: as the more he plays, I realize he can he
Speaker 1: could do it all, So why relegate him to one
Speaker 1: thing over another. Seeing him last week playing on the edges, like, boy,
Speaker 1: this boy is he's hunting out here and it's really
Speaker 1: hard to stop. But then there are other times where
Speaker 1: he's such a novice at rushing the passage that you
Speaker 1: see his moves kind of get confused. Now does his
Speaker 1: win rate overlap that, Yes, absolutely, But I think linebacker wise,
Speaker 1: Kean O'Neill is going to have to do so much more,
Speaker 1: and if we can rely on our linebackers to do it,
Speaker 1: then I think we don't have any problems with putting
Speaker 1: him on the edge and leaving him there. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: don't disagree. I don't. This is a game where we
Speaker 1: played last week against Kansas City. We know we can't
Speaker 1: get behind, we know you can't get behind, and you
Speaker 1: got behind. So it was a rap from the get go.
Speaker 1: This game is not a game that I wanted to
Speaker 1: even be close. Is you want this to be Atlanta? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I'm just shy though, because these guys are
Speaker 1: built off of confidence. These guys, these are the company.
Speaker 1: These guys are a momentum team and they can they
Speaker 1: can snap into it, just like dog on Thanos can
Speaker 1: snap his fingers. These guys can snap into all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, Oh shoot, let's go. We're the freaking Raiders.
Speaker 1: And they go and they freaking go, and then you
Speaker 1: got worried about Crossby and freaking Yannick and all these
Speaker 1: other cats start going and flying up to You don't
Speaker 1: want these guys to play with even a speck of
Speaker 1: confidence because they are a team that is dangerous. They
Speaker 1: have they have weapons. Now, let's not let's not config
Speaker 1: they've they've had a bad stretch here, they've had they've
Speaker 1: had a bad year and two. Absolutely, these guys are
Speaker 1: a threat in the AFC. So let's respect them. Let's
Speaker 1: we need to get up. Please get up, please, please
Speaker 1: please get up. I'm begging y'all, cowboys, get up. Let's
Speaker 1: not make this a competitive game because it's already it's
Speaker 1: already a high profile game there, everybody's already gonna be
Speaker 1: jacked up and juice. These guys don't get this game
Speaker 1: all the time. Dallas does, right, So you have they
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to play on Thanksgiving. Everybody and their
Speaker 1: mom is gonna be watching the game. The Cousins, everybody
Speaker 1: overseas and on I they're all gonna have the game
Speaker 1: turned on, and if the game is competitive, they will
Speaker 1: find extra juice. So please, we need to get up early.
Speaker 1: I just want to talk about the Basuka just real quick,
Speaker 1: go for it. I love that name, name he I've
Speaker 1: been a proponent of. Just keep him where they've done.
Speaker 1: Just he loves chess. Make him a chess piece. Let
Speaker 1: move him all around. He can do so much for
Speaker 1: you depending on matchups. But you watch that game on
Speaker 1: Sunday and you're like, he's Von Miller at times, like
Speaker 1: he could be Von Miller, that first step and just
Speaker 1: screaming off the edge, and it's really exciting. It's interesting
Speaker 1: to see what they're gonna do with him. I know,
Speaker 1: I just I fluctuate week to week when I see
Speaker 1: him right now, but ultimately I think what they're doing
Speaker 1: is the right call. But sometimes he makes those plays
Speaker 1: and you're like, this guy, this guy could be a
Speaker 1: ten time Pro Bowl edge rusher if you wanted to.
Speaker 1: I mean here, he Ray told us that he could
Speaker 1: play any position on a so well, and I believe
Speaker 1: that there's there's athletes that come around every so often
Speaker 1: that can have that impact no matter where they're at
Speaker 1: this game. I agree with he needs to be at
Speaker 1: the second level, and I feel like I'll say that
Speaker 1: every week. But there's a dude in that backfield that
Speaker 1: we need to keep an eye on, and in Jacobs.
Speaker 1: And there's also a dude that's gonna be lined up
Speaker 1: with his hand in the ground and that can run
Speaker 1: out and he's not small by any means, and we
Speaker 1: need somebody to be able to run out and take
Speaker 1: some shots on his chest, and he can't do that
Speaker 1: from the end position. But I thought Hilaire coming back
Speaker 1: for Kansas City was that kind of matchup where you
Speaker 1: had to worry about, you know how use him off
Speaker 1: the ball with his speed. And they said, you know what,
Speaker 1: we have to get to ma homes. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: put Hilara is more is shifty. Jacobs wants to run
Speaker 1: through your chess cavity. Two different backs, two totally different backs, right, Jacob, Yeah, exactly, Hilaria.
Speaker 1: You got to you gotta guard him with multiple people.
Speaker 1: He's not a guy that you can just Hey, you
Speaker 1: got him, could be that guy for him. Not Kenyan
Speaker 1: Drake is that guy. Yeah, let's not let him get
Speaker 1: in there and get going. I just wanted to shower
Speaker 1: him with praise for a seconds because eight sacks and
Speaker 1: ten games, and really it's been three games out of ten,
Speaker 1: Week two and three, and then this last game where
Speaker 1: he's really been an edge rusher. Other than that, he's
Speaker 1: been a third down specialists, more sacks than their best guy.
Speaker 1: All right, let's step aside. When we come back, we
Speaker 1: are gonna take Cowboys Nations call. Come on, give us
Speaker 1: a call eight eight eight eight five five two two
Speaker 1: nine seven. We talk to you next on talking Cowboys.

Speaker 1: let's talk to Troy in Philadelphia. Shout the monkey bars.
Speaker 1: What's up, Troy? How's it going? My man? Hey man,
Speaker 1: what's going on? Guys? Like you guys doing good? Good,
Speaker 1: good good. I'm glad to hear that, man, Man, you
Speaker 1: I love you guys. Man, I don't you don't get
Speaker 1: a chance to listen live, but you hardly day weekend.
Speaker 1: Everything's like you get a chance. Hey, Troy, Troy, did
Speaker 1: you just you're in Philly? Yeah, you're believe I'm behind you. Wayne,
Speaker 1: You're a cowboy fan in Philly. Oh you have no
Speaker 1: get it? Hey man, I'm sending you a pound through
Speaker 1: I don't know digital pound, right, now that's that's one
Speaker 1: hundred right there. Brother, Wait, he's an insurgent's doing God's work.
Speaker 1: You know, I can't say that I'm a Cowboys fan
Speaker 1: if I'm just ordering my phone. Man, it's dum. I
Speaker 1: don't do it. It's crazy. I loove man. I wanted
Speaker 1: to um. I wanted to chime in, man because I
Speaker 1: keep hearing this thing about the offense and you know
Speaker 1: how we had all these and Ring Tirring was out
Speaker 1: and uh Coop and we didn't have CD for the
Speaker 1: second half. But I'm sorry, guys, I watched this defense
Speaker 1: ball out all season and they have not been home.
Speaker 1: Like they didn't have their two top d ends in
Speaker 1: this game, and they neutralize the best quarterback in the world.
Speaker 1: And we're making excuses. And I'm not saying, you know you, guys,
Speaker 1: I get Tirring mattered. I get it. We said it
Speaker 1: last year, um, not just last year. Archer had the
Speaker 1: stat they're eighteen and nineteen. When he doesn't play career,
Speaker 1: it's a problem. It always is a problem. Right, it
Speaker 1: was a big deal. But again, this defense is bawling
Speaker 1: out without its best players, and we don't make it
Speaker 1: like we're not making excuses for that, like they are
Speaker 1: bawling out they stash a thord or neutral They didn't
Speaker 1: stop them, but they neutralize the best quarterback in the
Speaker 1: game was out their best two d ends, And we're
Speaker 1: making excuses on the office. I'm sorry, you know that
Speaker 1: can't be missing passes. We can't be dropping passes like
Speaker 1: this is supposed to be an elite offense who everybody
Speaker 1: said can beat you, however they want to beat you.
Speaker 1: But Callen seems to want to beat you. What's the
Speaker 1: passing game? And he'll take the running game if it's working,
Speaker 1: but he seems to want to beat you with the
Speaker 1: passing game. I just it's hard for me to make
Speaker 1: excuses for the offense when we when we when we
Speaker 1: haven't seen this defense play whole the whole season, as
Speaker 1: you really think about it, other than the Tampa games
Speaker 1: when you know Tim just took it, Brady just took it.
Speaker 1: But the two the other two losses that we've had,
Speaker 1: it's been because the offense let us down. It wasn't
Speaker 1: the defense. It was the offense of that let us down.
Speaker 1: And both of those games, and we supposed to be
Speaker 1: in the lead offense. And that's why I keep hearing,
Speaker 1: and that's why I see when we're winning, but when
Speaker 1: we're losing, it's the offense of letting us down. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much for the Thank you so much for
Speaker 1: the call, Troy. You are the man out in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Keep doing great work out there. And honestly, he poses
Speaker 1: a great question because he's right to a certain extent.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you could blame the defense or
Speaker 1: the offense only for the Denver loss. That was a
Speaker 1: little bit of everybody. But you could blame the offense
Speaker 1: for the Kansas City loss certainly, Oh yeah, you could
Speaker 1: totally do that. But Denver was a little bit of everybody.
Speaker 1: And then, like you said about the Tampa Bay game,
Speaker 1: that was Tom Brady being Tom Brady at the end.
Speaker 1: You played well throughout that game. But why why is that?
Speaker 1: Why do we make excuses? And once again by we,
Speaker 1: I mean just basically Cowboys Nation make excuses for the
Speaker 1: offense versus the defense and the defense still getting a
Speaker 1: job done. Is there that much of a discrepancy between
Speaker 1: the two sides, between the two units when they're missing
Speaker 1: their best pieces. First of all, shout out to you
Speaker 1: being an insurgent in Philly's tough. Um uh, keep it okay,
Speaker 1: that's certain. Yeah, however, I don't disagree with you. That's
Speaker 1: fair analysis. That is very fair analysis in terms of
Speaker 1: those guys, you know, failing on certain games, things of
Speaker 1: that nature. Understand this, it's not the same because it's
Speaker 1: harder to play offense. And some people may not digest
Speaker 1: that very well. It's it's harder. It's harder to play.
Speaker 1: It's at those positions. It's harder to replace an offensive
Speaker 1: tackle versus replacing a defensive alignment or a defensive end.
Speaker 1: It's just more difficult. You can lose a defensive end
Speaker 1: that's getting paid like our guys are getting paid, and
Speaker 1: replace them with a guy that gives crazy Max Crosby effort.
Speaker 1: You might not get all the production, but you're gonna
Speaker 1: get it. You still gonna get a help of a
Speaker 1: lot of pressure and put some stress on that offense.
Speaker 1: When you miss a office a lineman, it demoralizes you
Speaker 1: simply because there's so much technique that's required to be
Speaker 1: effective at those positions. Receivers is hard in this league. Receiver.
Speaker 1: You lose a receiver, it affects you major in a
Speaker 1: major way too. Why Because there's so much technique that
Speaker 1: goes in getting a release and you know, and just
Speaker 1: a savvyness of getting in and out your breaks and
Speaker 1: things of that nature. You lose a running back. The
Speaker 1: league starting to figure this out. You lose a running back.
Speaker 1: I can replace the running back. I can replace the
Speaker 1: running back. It might be as effective, but we won't
Speaker 1: be that far of a drop off. Right. But there's
Speaker 1: just certain positions that you just can't afford to lose,
Speaker 1: and that, unfortunately is the case with the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: You can't lose lineman. Plus, I think the environment they
Speaker 1: were in was not conducive for a lot of youth
Speaker 1: on the left side of that line, and it was
Speaker 1: a factor in the game. It's not an excuse, it's
Speaker 1: a fact. Watch the game. There was a problem. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, everybody's right. They didn't make plays that
Speaker 1: were there to make. They didn't they didn't step up
Speaker 1: and make plays. The drops, the penalties, it all rolls
Speaker 1: into one. It's not just oh they didn't have these guys.
Speaker 1: They didn't win. They didn't make simple plays to win games.
Speaker 1: I'm not disputing that, but I'd also think we just
Speaker 1: talked about Michael Parsons for ten minutes, like, yeah, you're
Speaker 1: missing your top two edge rushers. But he's changed this
Speaker 1: defense because he can play anywhere you can plug him
Speaker 1: in and he's got he's got more sacks than anybody
Speaker 1: on the team. So they have more depth at that
Speaker 1: position this year than they do on the offensive line
Speaker 1: based on what we've seen. Yeah, may have been a
Speaker 1: wrong week to try and plug in a new left
Speaker 1: guard as well. And I'm not saying that Connor McGovern
Speaker 1: isn't better than Connor Williams, and I'm sure that's an
Speaker 1: ongoing competition, but whatever they're trying to put together, just
Speaker 1: the synergy between the offensive line may have changed so
Speaker 1: much so that you couldn't put out a dominating performance,
Speaker 1: a one where the offense and got clicking. So look,
Speaker 1: I just feel as though we have this mentality in football,
Speaker 1: as football fans, as people that appreciate the sport, that
Speaker 1: there's a next man up mentality, And that sounds good
Speaker 1: in theory, but I think what Isaiah is saying is that, look,
Speaker 1: when you replace guys like this on your offensive line,
Speaker 1: or you have skill position guys that you count on
Speaker 1: rely on heavily that are not there. It changes the
Speaker 1: whole complexity of your offense and there's nothing you can do.
Speaker 1: It's a technicality that's different than anything on the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the football. The fact that you have that
Speaker 1: continuity that's been a buzzword around these parts since Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy arrived, was continuity and continuing to have that relationship
Speaker 1: back and forth. And it's kind of what Rob said yesterday.
Speaker 1: I don't know if if they would have thought Tyrn
Speaker 1: Smith was inactive for the Kansas City game. I don't
Speaker 1: know if they make that change this week. I think
Speaker 1: if they knew going into the week that Tyron Smith
Speaker 1: was going to be out, I don't know if Connor
Speaker 1: Williams would have been taken out for Connor McGovern. I
Speaker 1: think it would have been the same five that we
Speaker 1: saw week prior. Then you wait for tyrants meant to
Speaker 1: do it. But I think they were probably disappointed in
Speaker 1: the fact that Tyrne wasn't available. You look like you
Speaker 1: wanted to say something there. Yeah, I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: know that's the top. I don't know, just throwing that
Speaker 1: out there. I feel like they were working the governing
Speaker 1: in there. I feel like for the week's leading up
Speaker 1: to that, they were getting him warmed up, and Jerry
Speaker 1: said it was a separate decision. I mean they they've
Speaker 1: seen the penalties you're going to Arrowhead. They felt like
Speaker 1: they needed to make a change. But but yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it certainly would have helped have to have that
Speaker 1: yeah right there next to you. Yeah. All right, let's
Speaker 1: go to Ted in Houston. Ted, what's going on? You're
Speaker 1: on talking Cowboys? How's it going guys? Hey, I just
Speaker 1: wanted to say that I think Kelln is getting too
Speaker 1: cute out there on the red zone. He tries to
Speaker 1: go east and west instead of north himself, and I
Speaker 1: think he puts stalls in our offense there. And I
Speaker 1: think he could do a better job of, you know,
Speaker 1: running at consecutive times with Zeke or Paul because the
Speaker 1: run game was there, you know, looking back, and he
Speaker 1: just didn't run at consecutive times. And I think he
Speaker 1: just gets too cute. And I just think if I
Speaker 1: think Mike needs to get in and you know, help
Speaker 1: out Kellen with the play call. What do you guys think?
Speaker 1: Thank you Ted for the call. What do you guys
Speaker 1: think about that in terms of the red zone? Well,
Speaker 1: you just said it I mean, the coaching staff already
Speaker 1: knew that they went away from the run a little bit,
Speaker 1: and that's something they should have accentuated a little bit
Speaker 1: more last year. Kellen Moore, We've been talking about his
Speaker 1: red zone problems for a while, but this year they
Speaker 1: seem to cure a lot of them. We hadn't had
Speaker 1: any problems with it. It's and if we're gonna go
Speaker 1: on a game by game basis, I'm fine with that too.
Speaker 1: We just didn't do well in the red zone this game.
Speaker 1: So you come up against a Las Vegas opponent that
Speaker 1: is horrible in the red zone. They allow their opponents
Speaker 1: to score seventy four times seventy four percent of the
Speaker 1: time when you get into the red zone. So I
Speaker 1: just think, you know, sometimes you get a game where
Speaker 1: the right opponent comes in for you and can help
Speaker 1: you cure some of those wolves that are eels that
Speaker 1: you have. Yeah, they got, that tells them what they
Speaker 1: got the what what is that to fix all? It's
Speaker 1: a good thing. Okay. Well, I don't know who our
Speaker 1: sponsor is, so I don't want to sponsor forever a
Speaker 1: sponsor for everything around here. I don't I don't disagree
Speaker 1: with you. I mean, but you know t hegma's point.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's sometimes you just face the wrong opponent man,
Speaker 1: or things just aren't clicking. Last week, things just weren't clicking.
Speaker 1: So I don't have any concerns with our red zones
Speaker 1: right now. I think that, you know, I think Kelly
Speaker 1: Moore is still young as off as a coordinator, and
Speaker 1: he's still learning is great. As great as he's been,
Speaker 1: people still have to give him grace because he's still
Speaker 1: going back and doing film, studying himself and trying to
Speaker 1: improve just like the players are. Yeah, and just generally
Speaker 1: he talked about throwing the ball too much and that
Speaker 1: maybe you know, there's there's a temptation when you've got
Speaker 1: man coverage on the outside it's open and you have
Speaker 1: you have trusted in your receivers, even without Amari, we
Speaker 1: trust our guys like Dak thrown into the end zone
Speaker 1: against the various ward and tested him and it was
Speaker 1: a pick, but he said, I'll give my guy a chance.
Speaker 1: You know, how windy was it in Kansas City? Pretty windy?
Speaker 1: It was, yeah, okay, fourteen fifteen miles an hour. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it depending on gus, I mean, pregame it was it
Speaker 1: was very windy down there. McCarthy, What do you say yesterday?
Speaker 1: He didn't think it was a major factor, but he
Speaker 1: said it was like a six to eight yard difference
Speaker 1: or something like that. It was windy. Yeah. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take our second break. When we come back, we'll
Speaker 1: take one more call and wrap things up here on

Speaker 1: what's up? Man? You're on talking cowboys? Hey, how's it
Speaker 1: going on? What's going on? Jo? Hey? Um? So, I
Speaker 1: want to ask you guys, how how concerned are you
Speaker 1: with Tyrant Smith's health for the rest of the season.
Speaker 1: And if, let's say he was to come back in
Speaker 1: and reaggravate his injury again, what can Dallas do to
Speaker 1: um avoid what happened on Sunday? I mean, come January,
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna have Von Miller Aaron Donald in
Speaker 1: Dak's face. You know they have to they have to
Speaker 1: figure something out. Um, And this message is kind of
Speaker 1: just for Cowboys Nation. It's just it was just one game,
Speaker 1: you know. Um, I just I just watched Buffalo gets
Speaker 1: dumped on their home field forty one to fifteen. Champa
Speaker 1: just lost a couple of weeks ago to Washington. It's
Speaker 1: it's it's a week to week league. The Rams lost
Speaker 1: and then they have to play Green Bay on Sunday,
Speaker 1: So you're gonna have a chance to to jump one
Speaker 1: of these teams in the NFC. Um, I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's all doom and gloom like people may seem. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, they're making it seem like it's the same
Speaker 1: old Cowboys. But I've seen enough from this team throughout
Speaker 1: the season that I think that they're legit. Um. I
Speaker 1: think that they have a chance to to really make
Speaker 1: a run in the postseason if they can stay healthy
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. And um yeah, I'm just I'm
Speaker 1: not giving up on this team. I know I have
Speaker 1: them getting to the NFC Championship Game and I got
Speaker 1: them playing Green Bay. I don't think seating doesn't matter. Um,
Speaker 1: what matters is you getting to the postseason. And you're
Speaker 1: determined to win. Your willingness to fight, that's going to
Speaker 1: keep them going. Um so all right, bye, okay, Chris
Speaker 1: the way over, come on. We gotta yeah we okay,
Speaker 1: all right, Chris is trying to hurry a three minute call. Man,
Speaker 1: I was asking him sing o bay. Yeah. I liked
Speaker 1: what he was saying. He's right, he's right, He's exactly right.
Speaker 1: Three teams. Every team's got flaws, and it's it's a
Speaker 1: long ass season. There's seven games left. You know, a
Speaker 1: lot of time to get it right. But you gotta
Speaker 1: stay healthy. Like you said, you gotta stay healthy. You
Speaker 1: can't be too banged up now and offensive line, Are
Speaker 1: you concerned about Tyrant Smith long term? Yes? No, maybe,
Speaker 1: because my answer is a resounding yes. Stephen Jone said
Speaker 1: no once he comes back. So to me, if it's
Speaker 1: more about the high ankle than the spurs, because the
Speaker 1: spurs don't go away, Yeah, But if it's more about
Speaker 1: the high ankle, then yeah, if he comes back concerned
Speaker 1: about it, okay, Isaiah, I'm not confident. Yeah, I'm kind
Speaker 1: of there too. I need him to be healthy, but
Speaker 1: I agree with Pee that you know, if they feel
Speaker 1: like the last three weeks and giving him off is
Speaker 1: going to have him healthy for the long stretch. Then
Speaker 1: I'm all for it because we got some we got
Speaker 1: some heat coming and December hasn't been kind to us,
Speaker 1: so let's let's make it work. No, not at all,
Speaker 1: all right, Jordan, once again, thanks for the call. Thanks
Speaker 1: to everybody who gave us a call today. But that
Speaker 1: does it for us here on Talking Cowboys, join us tomorrow.
