Isaiah stand back, Nick Harris, John Michoda, 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.720 Welcome back, my friend. I'm Kyle Yeoman's John. We haven't 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:48.320 heard from you yet. We'll let you start things off. 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:53.000 How does what were your overall thoughts on Sunday's loss? 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:56.480 Pretty stunned? Yeah, pretty stunned. I guess that all has 0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:58.400 to do with what your perspective is on the team 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:03.680 and what you think this team's and I did not 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:08.240 think they were capable of playing that poorly, particularly on defense. 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:12.039 You know, you lose the three starting offensive lineman. I 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.440 can understand some issues on that side of the ball. 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:18.959 But just watching that game over again yesterday, I just 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:20.880 can't believe. Like I don't want to say lack of effort, 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.119 but I just there wasn't that, you know, that edge 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.080 that I'm used to seeing this team play with. And 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.120 there's just too much talent on that side of the ball. 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:32.520 And if we're just being completely completely honest, where Seed 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:36.080 is in the press box, we are directly right behind 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.880 where the Cardinals run out of their their thing for 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:40.600 pregame warm ups. I'm like, man, this is such a 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.480 cool angle, but there's nobody on their team that like, 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.000 is really I want to like take a video of. 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.360 I mean, that's literally the level that that I mean. 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.040 I mean, I'm being honest. If anybody disagrees with me, 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:53.920 tell me an NFL team from top to bottom in 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.040 terms of just a star power, standout star that like 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.600 is worse than that Cardinals team. Like I'm not saying 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.200 that Da and Connor and all these guys didn't you know, 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:03.880 Rondell Moore, they didn't play well and stuff like that, 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.080 but I'm saying that roster to do that to your defense, 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.760 particularly in the first half, I'm stunned. I really am. 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:11.640 Like it brought me back a little bit to Washington 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.520 last year at the end of the season, a little 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.720 bit to the Denver game the year before that. Now, 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.040 they did have big responses to both those games, but 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.440 I did not think that this team was capable of 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.720 playing that poorly, And to be honest with you, knocks 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:25.720 me down a little bit on the whole, Like, I 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.360 don't think they're on the same category right now with 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.760 the Eagles and Niners. I think they're a step down. 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.519 And I didn't think that was the case going into 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.720 that game. Even knowing, hey, this could be a trap game, 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.359 you know, twelve point favorite whatever, you know, you can't 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.120 sleep on anybody. I still thought, like I mean up 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:43.800 into the point where even like late in the fourth, 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.320 I'm like, they'll get a touchdown here, They'll be right 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.080 back in this game. The momentums all on their side. 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:52.040 And to me, the most alarming play was that sixty 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.600 nine yard pass to just have somebody that wide open. 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.639 I see that stuff on Saturdays, but on Sundays with 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.600 a dan Quinn defense that was that was just odd 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.240 to me. I couldn't believe it. Like again, where you're 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.760 sitting in the prospect. You just like, well, there's a 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:07.959 guy there. I'm pretty sure that they have eleven on 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:09.880 the field. He seems like he's an eligible receiver. I 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:11.520 don't know why he's twenty yards on the field. No 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.440 one's near him. Again, like Saturdays, you see that. Yeah, 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.840 but from a defense that you think could be the 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:18.799 best in the league, that was inexcusable. 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.079 I mean we were talking about Legion of Boom. We're 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.560 talking about seventy Steelers, eighty five Bears. I mean that 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:25.600 was the trajectory through two weeks. 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:26.680 Yeah, it was just two weeks. 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:31.280 But none of those things happened to that those defenses, 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.640 right like that, none of the what Arizona did in 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.640 Week three happened to the eighty five Bears. In the 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:38.440 seventies steel Now in the Legion of Boom, like that 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:42.360 just doesn't happen. Now, they were certainly missing Trayvon Diggs, 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.000 but it wasn't all Trayvon Digs that that was missing. 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:46.880 Oh if they threw the ball all over the yard 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:48.680 and you're just like, man, this secondary has got some 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:50.600 work to do, which I couldn't see happening. But I 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.080 guess after Sunday, I shouldn't say that there's anything I 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.880 can't see happening because because that opened up a new 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:57.800 chapter for me where I just I did not think 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.640 but from where this defense is built. I thought that 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.000 Washington game last year, the Denver game two years ago 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.320 were gone. I didn't think that they could fall back 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.560 down to that type of a level. And so that 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:11.080 was that was an eye opener there that, to be honest, well, 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.240 probably won't sit right with me unless they were to 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:15.960 come out of these first five at four and one 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:17.600 and you go to San Francisco you won that game. 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.960 I could change a little bit on that. But as 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:21.760 I sit right now, I see them going three and 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.359 two through those first five and and who knows, this 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.040 could be a game they look back on and they're like, man, 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:28.760 I mean that ends up costing them a division, it 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.520 caused you know, playoffs, are you know, seating or whatever 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.600 like that. I don't know, but that's that one that 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.440 there's no And then the whole talking about wake up 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.400 collect for played two games? Who needs a wake up 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.440 collect for two games? Like that's not needed. I know 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:45.000 you got to say something because you know they were stunned, 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.120 but still, I mean, I don't know why you would 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.279 need a wake up collect for only two weeks of 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:50.680 beating the Giants and Jets. 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:51.440 No, it is. 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.560 True, and I'm well said on all occasions. I want 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:55.960 to get more into that here in a little bit. 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:57.400 But we are going to do some news and notes. 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.000 We're bringing it back. I mean, we had news and 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.800 notes with Rob Phillip, we had news and notes with 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:02.520 Patrick no C. 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.960 Walker. Now we're gonna start it with Nick Harris. Nick 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.599 Harris every day is going to give us our news. 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.640 What you need to write down, what you need to 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:12.640 keep aware of for the Dallas Cowboys. 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:13.919 Anything stick out from yesterday. 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.960 Yeah, So today we're gonna highlight the availabilities from yesterday 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.640 with Mike McCarthy and all three coordinators. I thought I 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.040 pressed some mute button for a little bit, Mike McCarthy. 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:23.560 It was kind of a strike half. 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.239 It was a checkout check Okay, held up Mike McCarthy 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.000 and all three coordinators. They took time with the with 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.000 the media yesterday. We'll start with McCarthy asking about him 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.880 about red zone problems. He said that they will spend 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.800 more time on red zone this week, but they're not 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:38.919 going to over react just yet. 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:40.080 Hmm. 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.599 So more time in the red zone. I mean, when 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:45.640 you're working on more time in the red zone, what 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.160 is that really? What are you trying to accomplish there? 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:49.279 It's a point of emphasis. 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.559 Yeah, just putting more on it, that is all. 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.039 That is always bringing attention to how important it is 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.120 to your team that you can't take advantage of the 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.160 fact that you're that you're getting down there to get 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:01.480 down and you got to capitalize on it. So you 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.039 just got to bring that back to the forefronts of 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:04.760 guys and just say, hey, this is not our average 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:06.960 portion of the field. Once we work to get down here, 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.440 we have to end this drive with six points. 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.640 Yeah, it's also that was another part of the game 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.120 that there's levels of this. The defensive performance to me 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.000 is on the top level. But next down, I am 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.080 surprised that they've gotten through three games not throwing a 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.600 touchdown pass to a wide receiver. I mean that's pretty wild. 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:23.320 Yeah, I agree. 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:25.800 Talking to Dan Quinn yesterday, he was talking about the 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.160 run defense. Obviously he was asked about it quite a bit. 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.479 He called it a tail of two halves where in 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.000 the first half they gave up one hundred and eighty 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:33.560 one yards on the ground, it's the most for the 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.680 franchise in thirty two years, and then overall giving up 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.200 seven and a half yards per play throughout the entire game, 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.839 the most in seven years. He said, sometimes you just 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:43.760 have a performance that you're not pleased with at all. 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:45.560 When you walk around our locker room, you had a 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:47.680 lot of pissed off people, and they should be. We 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.159 were not up to the center that we had set 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.760 for ourselves. When you're going through a difficult performance, you 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.320 do grow from them. I would love to say you 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.360 learn from forty to nothing, but that ain't the truth. 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:57.280 You got to have some adversity and come out the 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.520 other end to show what you're capable of. These guys 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.880 are a war your crew, and they will responded like crazy. 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:04.200 It felt like he was a little uh. 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.120 It was almost like he was offended in the way 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.960 that people were talking about the defense and how it 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:12.440 didn't look like a dan Quinn defense. 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:14.120 Not offended by the. 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.000 At least by the headlines, because the headlines were what 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.080 they were and then were the truth. It was more 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.080 offended because of kind of like what John was talking 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.240 about initially of a dan Quinn defense doesn't look like 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:30.040 that especially a dominant dan Quinn defense doesn't look like 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.880 what they had against Arizona. But they did look like that. 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.640 It didn't look like a dan Quinn defense. He said 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:37.400 that was one of the things that hurt him the most. 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.120 I think, so I didn't Maybe I'm reading too much 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:41.080 in between the lines there. 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:41.880 I couldn't. 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:43.280 I couldn't really get a read on if he was 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:48.320 talking about media saying that or people that text him, 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.880 because he because you know how he mentioned later about 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.280 like people like about the tray Von Diggs thing, you know, 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:54.960 other people in the league reaching out to him. So 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:56.880 I was kind of like, I wonder if that he's 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:58.880 also talking about like other people in the league that 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:00.920 were like, damn, you know, that didn't look like your 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:02.600 your normal defense or something like that. And the thing 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:04.960 they said he was so upset about is the fact 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:06.960 that or he called it. He didn't call it a 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:08.560 slap to the face. He said, like I think he 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:10.840 said like five five fingers he had to the face. 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:12.760 Was the fact that when he looks back and he's like, 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:14.960 they were right, it doesn't it didn't look like our defense, 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:16.680 you know. So I don't know, maybe I was reading 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.320 too much into that, but I didn't. I don't think 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:19.800 he was talking media, but maybe it was. 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:20.160 I don't know. 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:21.440 Yeah, you got to the point that I was just 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.240 about to highlight on that he had come. Dan Quinn 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:25.960 always comes out with like an opening statement in his 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.120 compress conferences. He's he only wanted the four to do it, 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.679 and he had said in that opening statement he said, 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.360 our performance felt like five fingers to the face. And 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.319 whenever everyone was saying, you know that this defense didn't 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.360 look like itself, it was five fingers to the face, 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:41.280 and he said, you know, that was tough because it 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:41.800 was true. 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:43.400 So I think it's. 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:45.000 Maybe a little bit of self reflection in that moment 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:46.840 as well, and also just being disappointed. 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:47.200 In the overall effort. 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.840 Maybe maybe it could be just you know, people getting 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.240 on it a little too much, who knows. But nevertheless, 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:53.920 you know he's gonna have an opportunity to bounce back 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.360 from it, this defense overall against a really good New 0:08:56.360 --> 0:09:00.559 England team coming up next. Thing this is really interesting 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:04.920 that we dove into with offense coordinator Brian Schottenheimer yesterday. 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.920 Will Greer was signed by the Patriots last week onto 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:10.200 their active squad, and. 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:11.719 He said that he's probably a guy. 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.720 He's probably being interrogated by Bill Belichick at the moment 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.520 for hand signals and anything else that could help them 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.880 give a little bit of an advantage going into this game. 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.800 On Sunday, and Schottenheimer had a funny quote. He said, 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.120 Will and Will and Zeke Ezechiel Elliott being there as well. 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:29.640 Will and Zeke know where the bones are buried. Those 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.640 are things you talk about. We certainly have more than 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.680 one hand signal for most of our core concepts, and 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:35.520 sometimes you can use it to your advantage. 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:36.520 Everybody does it. 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:38.520 You get a player that's played somewhere, you bring them 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.959 in to talk about different things, and you're very selective 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.040 about how much you put into it. I'm excited to 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.319 see Will, but I'm sure he's being interrogated. It'll be 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:47.840 a lot of late nights with the defensive coaching staff. 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:53.640 If only we had somebody somebody on this panel, I 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.080 don't know who. 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.319 I call it Belichick spy mission. 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.640 That would be the article played for Bill ella Check 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.400 at some point in his career. I wonder if we 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:05.880 had somebody like that, where what would they say? In 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.000 this moment it was called Jesse Holly Jesse. 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.920 No, he's on hanging with the boys. 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:12.680 Yeah. 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.199 I mean, I mean, like like Shotty said, this is 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.080 a part of the game. You get somebody your roster. 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.200 They have information, they have insight. I mean, is Will 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.319 Greer showing up isn't going to change the world. You 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:26.040 already had Zeke on your team, So any information that 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.680 you wanted to attain, it's already attainable if anybody knows it. 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.280 I think Zeke would understand what was going on. Bringing 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.080 Will Grear just adds another level to it. 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.920 Yeah, but maybe like new offense, you know, new hand signals, 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:40.680 new concepts. He's only a month off of it, not 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.320 eight months off of it. You know, he did just 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.240 throw thirty for thirty four in that offense or twenty 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:45.679 nine thirty. 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:46.360 I hear you. 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.640 Jack Prescott was a play caller, and Jack Prescott was 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:49.160 a play call. 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:50.439 I mean when I was playing with the Giants, I 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:52.120 mean I knew all the hand signals for New England. 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.520 Of course you pass that information along, you know when 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.319 you go and help you win a ring. So I mean, 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.040 that's that's a part of the game. 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.160 I think the key sentence was we're very selective aout 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.319 how much we put into it, so I'm sure it'll 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.120 be maybe once or twice it'll be like, hey, that 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.000 looks familiar. Maybe look for this, but don't marry yourself 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:07.280 to it. 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:09.920 It really comes in play in the two minute because 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.640 you know, from Shoddy's perspective, you could change things up 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.160 scheme wise during the game. I could change up some signals. 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:16.880 But when it gets hot and heavy and you're blown 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:18.679 and going, the last thing you're thinking about is what's 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:20.600 the new hand signal that we installed this week. No, 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.360 you're going back to the same old foundational pillars that 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:25.680 you have, and I'm going in them, and Dak's doing 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:27.480 his thing, and I'm giving my signals, and that's when 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.040 it comes to play, those those high intensity two minute 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:34.080 drill type settings. That's when Dak's gonna call what will knows? 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.720 And that's I mean, for the most part, you can't 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.240 upend that in a week. No, there's no way that 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:41.880 you could upend that in a week. You could change 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:43.800 certain things, like you said, just to throw them off, 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.800 But outside of that, I mean, that's just a minuscule 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.679 amount of what the entire playbook could open up correct. 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.880 Well, only be a small portion of the game possibly, 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:53.880 you know, depending on the situation going into the half 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.000 or any of the game. But it can come into 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:56.640 play for sure. 0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:01.840 Does it happen often where you purposefully will put out 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.720 a sign out there that Will Greer would know, But 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.719 it's completely opposite from what it was in this show. 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:07.679 So I'm saying it would have to be in a 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.240 two minute situation, like you're not really doing that during 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.400 the game. Yeah, I mean, they're not running no huddle. 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:14.200 You know, Dallas is getting to the ball. They're getting 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:15.880 out huddle quickly getting to the ball, but they're not 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.959 running no huddle. So it's not really going to come 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.560 into too much play. Check with me's type of deal. 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:22.520 Most of the check with me is that Dallas is running. 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.280 You don't see Dak out there playing Peyton Manning where 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.120 he's up there changing the entire play. You know, with 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:30.080 this West Coast offense is usually just come up. You know, 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:31.440 you choose the side that you want to go to. 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.040 If you need to flip something over, you know, you 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.280 over over. You give an over overcall because a lot 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.000 of times the tight ends are on opposite ends or 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.800 you're flipping things around, so it's not a lot of 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.360 hand signals in this offense, so there's not a lot 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.400 for a will to give away. But if they do 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:48.080 find themselves in a two minute situation, that's when you 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:49.880 can have your intendas up to see, hey, this can 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:50.720 possibly hurt you. 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:52.200 See this is what you do for this game? Is 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.120 that for this one particular one, because of this, you 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:56.839 just do the college thing and you just come out 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:58.600 there and you have somebody on the sideline that as 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.480 one of those signs as like for different it's like 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:04.320 a Waterburger symbol, Tupac, Taylor Swift, Kyle and you know 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:06.400 Kyle's face and you know, and it's. 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.400 That that place the camera. 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.040 I do love how that is used, well not maybe 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:11.880 not as much in college it. 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.400 Used to be, but that always just random stuff like 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.760 how is that not trickled up to the NFL. Yeah, no, 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.280 you're right, that's true because it started high school and 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:20.840 then you got some colleges. 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:21.800 Of course the colleges do you. 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.640 Guys ever do that you're in college, but you were 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.560 in you were in a conference that because to me, 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.120 when I think of it, I think of Oregon. 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.640 No right here, and I was like that looks silly. 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:33.200 Couldn't stop them either. 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.080 So that was about to say, wait a second, the. 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.719 Pride of my career was that there's a school down 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:39.440 in South Texas. 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.400 How It'sville. They had used a picture of my dog 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:42.719 just because no way. 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.240 A couple of years ago, I'd spent a lot of 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.199 time around that program, and They're like, we want to 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:47.400 use your face, and I'm like, I don't want to 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.840 use my face, you can use my dog, and so 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:51.800 I gave them my dog's face. Yeah, it's the pride 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:53.439 of my career. I have a picture of somewhere. I 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:54.200 gonna find it, but. 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:55.960 Yeah, that's yeah, you're gonna have to tweet it out later 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:56.440 for sure. 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.120 That last news and note from from yesterday, we had 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:02.040 asked Mike McCarthy just about injuries, especially all three up 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:04.160 from the offensive line. He said he hadn't really had 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.880 a chance at that point yesterday to see how those 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:10.760 guys were doing. No more on Wednesday, but while they 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:12.839 were banged up going into the game, not a ton 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.800 of injuries coming out of the game. Damon Clark had 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:17.480 kind of banged up his shoulder a little bit, but 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:18.280 it looks like he'll. 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:19.680 Be all right going forward. 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:21.800 Stephen Jones was asked on the one O five three, 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.880 his radio hit on Monday about the same thing about Beattish, 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:30.400 Zach Martin, and Tyler all being Tyron, Tyler, and zach 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.600 Man's computer tools all being back for Sunday. He said, 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:35.480 it's possible. We'll just have to see how the week goes. 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.440 You got to take each guy week to week. Is 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.080 it possible, yes, Do we know for sure? Absolutely not. 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:44.480 So I don't know what to think in terms of 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:48.280 injuries right now, because, like we talked about yesterday, we 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:49.160 came into the week. 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.240 We were at least we finished our show on Friday. 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.600 We were doing the doing the Bushwhacker, and we were 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:56.240 getting out of there and we were saying, yeah, we're 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.240 gonna have some offensive lineman back, and then all of 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.720 a sudden, you don't. So they're all back. 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:05.600 And Mike McCarthy sounded genuinely surprised by what they had 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.680 to go through because and felt like it was on 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.480 him that he didn't get more reps with some of 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.200 those guys during the week, like a TJ. Bass, you know, 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:17.200 like Chumah, thinking that hey, we might have to go 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.480 with all these guys. I think he was pretty confident 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.720 from what he was hearing that, Hey, I'm going to 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.280 have at least two of these guys for that game. 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:26.400 And so it sounds like there was a lot of 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:30.520 scrambling going on right before that game to figure out 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:33.160 I mean Zach Martin, I mean Tyron Smith was out 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:34.960 there warming up like he normally does. I thought for 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.760 sure Tyron Smith was playing, and then he came out, 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:39.880 you know, fully dressed. I will say when he ran 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:41.600 out of the tunnel, he did not look like himself. 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:43.760 It did look like it was like a they want 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:45.360 me to win in a uniform, I'll come out here, 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:47.280 but there's no chance I'm going today. Like even in 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:49.280 the like warm up lines and the stretching lines that 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:50.880 I was like, that does not look like Tyron Smith 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.880
