Speaker 1: for the ride and well, it's gonna be a fun

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: next forty five minutes because we're gonna preview this Washington

21
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: defense and quite possibly the best defensive line that the

22
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys have had throughout the twenty twenty season so far.

23
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: And then we've also got the Cowboys offense and how

24
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna figure some things out after a stalemate last

25
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: week against the Arizona Cardinals. But first, let's go ahead

26
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: and talk some things up about the injury report. Rob yesterday,

27
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys back on the practice field, Mike McCarthy this morning,

28
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: saying that he fully expects to see Alden Smith ready

29
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: to go for Sunday, which is good news for that

30
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys pass for us. So you have Alden Smith, you

31
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: still Brandy Gregory coming in, but overall, a fantastic news

32
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: there in terms of getting Alden Smith back. What else

33
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: have you heard in terms of the injury report, Well,

34
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: the other big one is Zack Martin and Cowboys typically

35
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: don't practice today, and you know, whatever they do Saturday

36
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: before the trip will be light. So his big chance

37
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: to get back into practice was yesterday. Mike McCarthy saying

38
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: on the fan this morning, he's still in concussion protocol.

39
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: How that pans out the next day or two. Not sure.

40
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's a bunch of steps that you've got

41
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: to pass to get to the point where you can

42
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: get back on the field. So we'll see where that goes. Obviously,

43
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: they're probably trying to get They are getting Connor McGovern

44
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: ready to play in case Zach can't go. And as

45
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: Mike said, at left tackled Brandon Knight out for a

46
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. They're working a couple of different spots.

47
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: So maybe that's Cam Irving coming off ir maybe it's

48
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: somebody else, Grison not. But they've got to prepare for

49
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: a Washington front that's pretty good, fellas, really good stout. Yeah,

50
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: Washington front that has five first round draft picks. And

51
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: now you're throwing out what would be what two undrafted

52
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 1: free agents saw on the edge. Now, I know Cam

53
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: Irving might not, he's not an undrafted free agent by

54
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: any means, but he's on that left tackle spot. And

55
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: then Connor Williams SEUs has seen just two and a

56
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: half years now at left guard. You've seen now a

57
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: rookie at center, a guy, and Connor McGovern, who has

58
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: barely seen any playing time at right guard. How worried

59
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: are you, Isaiah about this offensive line, especially knowing the

60
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: opponent that's coming up on the other other side of

61
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: the Linus scrimmage this week. Well, if we have to

62
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: defend these guys man on man, i'm i'm my my,

63
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: My warrior radar is up there. Hopefully the schemes that

64
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: Coach Fielding comes up with allows for you guys to

65
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: work in symmetry in motion as in poetry. You know,

66
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: hopefully they work together and they slide together, and they

67
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: they protect each other's gaps, and they have each you know,

68
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: they have each other's backs. It's like huh, you know,

69
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: it's kind of like ballet. We're gonna say, um so,

70
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: a combination of some slide protection, some some quick quick

71
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: passing game. Hopefully both of those things was keep us

72
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: out of situations where we have to face these absolute

73
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: goons on the D line. Um yeah, I don't like

74
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: our one on one match us, but again, you can

75
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: scheme a team like this and get the victory. All

76
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: I could see, Isaiah was the electric slide right there

77
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: when you like a wedding party, right uh, you know, Kyle,

78
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: thank you so much for eloquently articulating how empty the

79
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: cuboards are, thank you so much, and uh yeah, man,

80
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: it's yeah, thank you, you know. And and let's go

81
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: over this one more time. So let's see Travis Frederick

82
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: retired before the season in the off season, layall Collins

83
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: uh didn't even get a chance to participate in two days,

84
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: well a couple of days, all right. Uh. Then then

85
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: we have uh Smith go down with the neck. He's

86
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: out for the year. Check uh check. Uh. Then we

87
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: have Zack Martin who uh now is in concussion protocol.

88
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and the big one, Dak broke his ankle.

89
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: So it's abysmal. It's the kind of day that we're having.

90
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: You see the dark clouds hovering over the Metroplex right now.

91
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: That is where our offense is right now. And five

92
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: for about Joe Looney and Irving is yet to play

93
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: on offensive. So all of that. I tried to save

94
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: some of that other stuff, right. But here's here's the thing.

95
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: When I when we I knew we had today, and

96
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: so I'm starting to look for the silver lining or

97
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: something good for the offensive line, and and I'm looking

98
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: at yadish fourth round draft pick. I'm looking at Connor McGovern,

99
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: who Connor McGovern was a third round draft pick overall,

100
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: um ninetieth overall. And right now, have you guys heard

101
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: any talk about Connor Williams lately? None? All right, Connor

102
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: Williams right now on this offensive line is looking like

103
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: last call. All right? He is at the end of

104
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: the bar, looking like last call. That's how good our

105
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: left guard is looking right now. Because we don't have

106
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: nothing right and so the guys that own this offensive

107
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: line in the middle, they're gonna have to take pride

108
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: and get some do something for this running game, because

109
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: right now they are all we have that's hit last call? Hey,

110
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: are you saying that Connor is the last one to

111
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: get picked in dodgeball? Is that what you're saying right now?

112
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: Last call? Right there? Hey, don't not dodge He look

113
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: more now. I think it's more so Connor William's just

114
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: looking around and saying, where where did my friends go?

115
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: What I've been to? Everybody? Where's where's all my guys

116
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: guys here? But yeah, I mean, whenever it comes to

117
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: this offensive line, I think it's been very well articulated

118
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: that overall that they're gonna struggle this week and we're

119
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: gonna see some pressure from that defensive line. But now

120
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: now kind of moving into Kelln Moore and and really

121
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: the play calling that's gonna have to combat this a

122
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,679
Speaker 1: little bit. Do you expect something rob to to change

123
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: a little bit from what we saw on Monday night

124
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: football in Arizona from a Kelen Moore play calling standpoint

125
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: or even Andy Dalton at the line of scrimmage here, Well,

126
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: Isaiah said it best, man. They need to scheme it up.

127
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: You know, you can't just expect to drop back and

128
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: uh and and have a deep passing game all the

129
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: time with a lot of long dropbacks and slow developing plays. Um,

130
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: they can't let to quote Isaiah, you can't let this

131
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: be like an e Honda Game three Fighter style with Washington.

132
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: You can't allow that to happen. So, um, you know,

133
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: they've just got to be you know, they've got to

134
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: scheme it up. But they've got to execute better in

135
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: terms of uh the screen game and and letting guys

136
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: letting those blocks develop. And as I'm hearing myself in

137
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: my own ear, sorry guys, but they just got to

138
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: be more effective doing that, uh, doing some short quick

139
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: passing games. Some things to help that the pocket move.

140
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, Daniel Jones did. They did that

141
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: with the Giants last week, trying to let the pocket

142
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: develop a little bit. Uh, and so maybe that that's

143
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: the way they can scheme it up Isamu. We had

144
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: some technical issues, so I couldn't hear everything that Rob said, unfortunately,

145
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: but um, in terms of them, in terms of the line,

146
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: as I already I'll tell you, I already mentioned these guys,

147
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna have to be a scheme deal. You gotta

148
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: scheme these guys. You can't you can't line up and

149
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: try to face these guys. You're gonna have to get

150
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: the ball out quick. You don't want to sit back

151
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: there and hold the ball. That's what we saw any

152
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: Dalton doing this week. I mean it happened because of

153
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: two reasons. It happened because his receivers were getting open.

154
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: Versus the coverage that they were facing last week, which

155
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: we talked about, They're gonna have guys in their face

156
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: all game long. With Peterson and Buddha, Baker and Murray

157
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: and all those guys. Those guys were in their facing.

158
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: It made it hard for them to get free releases

159
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: and help hard for them to get open um, and

160
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: then also because of the fact that he was unsure

161
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: about the timing right when you have new receivers, it's

162
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: like it's like when when when you when you throught

163
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: about the combine. Right most most top of line quarterbacks

164
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: don't like to throw the ball at the combine because

165
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: you're throwing to receivers that you just don't have timing with,

166
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: you don't have chemistry with, and you rather throw to

167
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: your guys. When you drop back, you hit your fifth step,

168
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: you can drive the ball because you know they're gonna

169
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: be what you're supposed to be. Versus at the combine,

170
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: you're throwing with guys and your timing's off and the

171
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: ball could be behind and it could make you look bad.

172
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: So I attest the same thing that that we've dealt

173
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: with any Dalton's past week to that he hasn't had

174
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: reps with his first string guys, right, he's probably spent

175
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: more more time with the with the scout team and

176
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: the practice squad guys and anything, because that's just how

177
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: it goes in the NFL. The second string quarterback doesn't

178
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: get the reps in practice. Um, So you I think

179
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: that they need to get the ball out quick, then

180
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: he get his quick game going. I can only imagine

181
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: how many times he's throwing the ball to his receivers

182
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: after practice today, because that's what you do when you're

183
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: trying to get that chemistry. There's not enough practice reps

184
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: to build chemistry, so you have to either come early

185
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: or you gotta stay late, and you gotta get that work.

186
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: And I can't even imagine that's what they've done this week.

187
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: Expect to see a short passing game, Expect to see

188
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: these officersivelignements short setting, and also expect to see them

189
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: cut blocking because these guys are huge on the defensive

190
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: line and they don't want to sit up there and

191
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: try to wrestle with these guys all day. No. And

192
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: you know, I think the game plan for Kelly Moore,

193
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: like you said, isaid. I'm sure Rob's alluded to the

194
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: same thing, was get the ball out of Andy Dalton's

195
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: hands quickly. And Andy Dalton also said that he feels

196
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: a lot more prepared going into this week Bass just

197
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: based off of, you know, just last week's performance. And

198
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 1: that's good news for us, just knowing that he understands

199
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: the kind of pressure that he's going to be under

200
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: this week with the Washington defensive line. But look, Buda

201
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: Baker is we saw the one of the best safeties

202
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: in the league last week, and now we go on

203
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: to landon Collins and maybe they'll try and copycat some

204
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: of the things that we saw versus Cardinals. Not even

205
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: maybe we will and so we're able to pick up

206
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: the blitz. That's what's gonna happen. But you know, one

207
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: of the things that Andy Dalton can't do is stand

208
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: back in the pocket and burp the baby. He's got

209
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: to get rid of the He's got to get rid

210
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: of the ball and play to his strengths. And we've

211
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: always said that his strengths are reading defensive quickly. But

212
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: because of his AFC North experience, he's got to put

213
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: that on display. Because look, we know the names on

214
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: the Washington defensive front, and Washington hadn't been a team

215
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: that has been known to blitz because of the pressure

216
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: that they manufacture upfront. Sorry, fellas, I had some technical difficulties,

217
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: a lot of rain up here this morning. You go,

218
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: now you got you guys are right, And that's what

219
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: I said too. They got to be able to move

220
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: the pocket. I thought they did that. The Giants did

221
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: that with j Daniel Jones a little bit last week,

222
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: but you're right. Heck like, you know, when Washington tried

223
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: to blitz the Giants last week, they didn't really have

224
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: a success. They're the opening touchdown for New York was

225
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: on a Landing Collins blitz and they picked it up

226
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: and blocked it up and Daniel Jones good now, Andy Dalton,

227
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: they didn't have any type of success against the blitz

228
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: last week, so we'll see how they handle that. We

229
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: mentioned Connor Williams man, I'm looking at him because that

230
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: matchup with Dron Payne is huge. You know, he didn't

231
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: have he didn't have a lot of consistent success, at

232
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: least in that first meeting with Washington last year. I

233
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: think one of Dak's interceptions in that game was off

234
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: of a pressure from pain. That's the big one. He

235
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: If Zach can't go, he's the veteran guy. He's got

236
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: to be able to keep guys out of Dalton's face.

237
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: With that middle rush on Sunday, well, you've also got

238
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: the guy's coming off the edge. Of course, Chase Young

239
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: second overall pick Montes sweat on the other side, Jonathan

240
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: Allen is the other nose tackle for Washington and then oh,

241
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: by the way, their league or their team leader in

242
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: sacks and also franchise leader in sacks. Ryan Carrigan is

243
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: in the second levels. He's second on the depth chart,

244
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: which it's coming off the bench, coming off the bench,

245
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: and you talk about fresh legs, you talk about rotation.

246
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: It's going to continuously hit this offensive line and really repeatedly,

247
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: especially in the first part of that football game. But Isaiah,

248
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: whenever it comes to a quarterback standpoint, how much pressure

249
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: on it is on Andy Dalton this week too, especially

250
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: throughout the couple of practices that they had a chance

251
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: to have earlier in the week, and just having that

252
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: communication down of being able to recognize the defense and

253
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: be able to call it for that offensive line to

254
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: be successful. Yeah, I mean, I mean I talked I

255
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: talked to any Dalton up a ton last week, right,

256
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: And I know people try to drag me on Twitter

257
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: for it. I'm still standing up for any Dalton. And

258
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: you know one thing I didn't account for it and

259
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: I should have, was just the fact that he didn't

260
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: have enough. He hasn't had a lot of time with

261
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: his officive line communicating he hasn't had a lot of

262
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: time with his with his offensive receivers in his tight

263
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: ends getting them in the ball, and it plays a

264
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: huge part at the quarterback position. I don't feel that

265
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: he has pressure. I don't think he's adding any more

266
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: pressure onto himself this week. If anything, he feels less

267
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: pressure because he actually feels more comfortable within this offense.

268
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: He's been working with his guys directly. It's different when

269
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: you're working with the guys as a backup versus when

270
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: you're working with the guys. I'm the guy right now,

271
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: all right, it's a different it's a different vibe, right Guys,

272
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: Listen to you a little bit differently. Right when you

273
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: step in the huddle, Guys look at you a little

274
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: a little bit differently when you're the guy versus you,

275
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: guy who just came in for somebody who for our

276
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: guy who just got hurt. So I think he's probably

277
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: has less pressure on him this week. Now. The outside world,

278
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: right us and the fans and everybody else are gonna

279
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: put all kinds of pressure on him. But as a quarterback,

280
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: as Andy Dalton right now, I can guarantee you he

281
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: feels less pressure because he feels more prepared going into

282
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: this week, and I think we'll see a lot more

283
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: resemblance of what we expect at Anie Daldon. He's what

284
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: he's been in the past. I think we'll see a

285
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: lot more of that this week than what we saw

286
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: last week, because last week was just like, oh, what

287
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: the heck is going on? Well, yeah, he had the

288
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: kitchen sink coming at him last week and he didn't

289
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: really have a lot of time they I mean, obviously,

290
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: if you watch the All twenty two you can see

291
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: that pocket collapsing on him. But he has got to

292
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: make at some point in this game. He's gonna have

293
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: to make a play with his books because because of

294
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: the way that this defense is structure, he's gonna have

295
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: that opportunity. And so it's gonna be a third and

296
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: eight third, whatever it's gonna be. Andy Dalton's gonna have

297
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: that opportunity. I know guys don't want to hear that,

298
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: but it's all hands on deck as far as our

299
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: playmakers are concerned. And I'm gonna say it again, we

300
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: have to feed Zeke. We feed Zeke, We limit the turnovers.

301
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: That's one of the things that it's been killing us. Limits,

302
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: we have yes, limits, Please everybody feed Zeke, well, we

303
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: have to. He's he's a veteran guy on our team.

304
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: He's a leader. He's he's a leader, he's a dog,

305
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: bell cow, all of those things. And I think that

306
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: Zeke just throughout the week, you can see it in

307
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: his eyes. Man, he's claiming that he knows that he

308
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: messed up. Man, and it's it's on him, and people

309
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: are trying to put that stigma a fumbler on him,

310
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: and he doesn't want it. And so also for Zeke,

311
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: the Washington football team is a team that he loves

312
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: to play against. He scored eight touchdowns against him in

313
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: his career. Is at seven hundred and thirteen yards rushing

314
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: versed him in his career. So look, maybe this is

315
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: the feel good game for Zeke to get him back

316
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: on track, because we're gonna need him to get in

317
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: rhythm to help Andy Dalton in the passing game. You know,

318
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: he said he watched cutups of every fumble he's ever

319
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: had this week to try to figure out what the

320
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: what the common denominator is and you and you're right. Heck,

321
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: he went over one hundred yards in both games. Last year.

322
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: So but it's a different line. You know, can they

323
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: can they find those creases for him, because that's it's

324
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: the whole continuity thing, not only for the pass protection,

325
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: for the run game as well. But I wanted to

326
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: bring back real quick, Isaiah because your point about a

327
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: second week being the starter for Dalton, how much that helps,

328
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: so that that is a real thing in terms of

329
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: timing with receivers and things of that nature. Because he

330
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: did mention that yesterday, and part of you is like, well,

331
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: you know that's what you're gonna say another week. It's

332
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: a short week, But it does it? Do you think

333
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: it does make a difference for him? It makes a

334
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: huge difference. I can remember in my time when I

335
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: was kind of winding down things in the NFL, when

336
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: I was in Jacksonville and we had we had a

337
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,719
Speaker 1: change in that quarterback, and I would stay out because

338
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: I was just new to the team. I was I

339
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: needed to stay after practice for about good thirty five

340
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: forty minutes running the routes that we were gonna we

341
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: had in the game plan, and we were running over

342
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: and over and over and over so that they had

343
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: some sense of confidence when that play was called that

344
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: I was gonna be where I was supposed to be, right,

345
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: because it's one thing for it to draw it up

346
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: on paper. If Heckma goes out and runs a route right,

347
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: that's on paper, and then I go out there and

348
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: run a route, dis guess what the ball is going

349
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: to have to be in a different place depending on

350
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: who's running the route right, depending on what my timing gets.

351
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: All that stuff matters. This is all the in depth

352
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: football stuff, behind the scenes stuff that most fans and

353
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: everybody don't really understand. This stuff matters. Repetitions matter. The

354
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: reason why you're seeing the production down over all in

355
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: the NFL on defense is because most of these defenses,

356
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: it requires everybody to be in sink, and this offseason

357
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: then allowed for them to be in sinc The teams

358
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: that have new the teams that have new offenses have

359
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: struggled for the most part, right because because they haven't

360
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: been had an opportunity to have those reps. This stuff matters.

361
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: You could say they're professionals. You can say these guys

362
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: are getting paid a lot of money. All that stuff

363
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: is fining Danny, and yeah that's true, but guess what,

364
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: it's still human and humans still need reps to perfect

365
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: their craft. Yeah, well, go ahead. No, I appreciate that,

366
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: and I understand that. You know, and a lot has

367
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: been made of people think that this is seven on seven.

368
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: It's not. And there's a lot. There's a lot that

369
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: goes into you know, footsteps, timing things like that, because

370
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: you have people coming at you while you're trying to

371
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: make this pass. Whatever the excuse was, whatever happened, however

372
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: it was. What I'm looking for is Andy Dalton not

373
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: throwing the ball fifty four times in the game. Plea, right,

374
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: let's not do that. Whatever it is when we come

375
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: to the statuet Sunday night, Monday morning, let's not see

376
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton throwing the ball that many times. Get your

377
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: time and routes down the little quick throws that you could,

378
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: whether it's the slant stop routes, all of those things

379
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: are gonna help Andy Dalton. So hopefully those are the

380
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: things that we've been working on. Because you still have

381
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: your receiving corps intact and plenty of playmakers. What we

382
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: have to do, and what everybody can see is that

383
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: the running game is suffering, and once the running game

384
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: is obsolete, teams are just been pinning their ears back

385
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: and coming after him. Yeah, and another thing I want

386
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: everybody kind of turning their attention to as I know

387
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: everybody was super hard on Dalton or any other quarterback

388
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: that will step into the situation. Right, everybody look at

389
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Look at Tom Brady, Tom Brady of the past, right,

390
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: Tom Brady with New England Patriots. Every year he steps

391
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: out there and balls out. I gotta tell you, TB

392
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: twelve spends a ton of time with his receivers in

393
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: the off season. This year is a little bit different, right,

394
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: But in past years, even when I was playing out there,

395
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: I would see him on college campuses, working with ground Kowski,

396
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: working with Edelman. He's flying guys in and he's working

397
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: with these guys that he already knows. He knows these guys,

398
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: he already has chemistry with these guys. But he's continued

399
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: to build the chemistry with these guys all throughout the

400
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: off season. So guess what when they show up to

401
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: the season, their time is impeccable, right, their confidence And

402
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: when when I draw back three steps or five steps

403
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: and I delivered the ball, I know where he's gonna

404
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: be when I throw it back shoulder, that nonverbal communication.

405
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: He knows when to turn around and catch the ball. Right.

406
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: And then look at Tom Brady when he goes to

407
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Everybody was dragging him the first couple of weeks, right,

408
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: everybody was dragging Tom. Oh Tom Brady's lost it. Oh

409
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: my goodness, he's not TV twelve anymore. Oh he's terrible

410
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: and he's got it. He I told you, it was

411
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: just a he was a product of the system. That

412
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 1: was the first couple of weeks. Why, because he didn't

413
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: have chemistry with those receivers. He didn't have that, he

414
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: didn't have the amount of rips with those receivers he

415
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: typically would have in a typical off season. But now

416
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: what do you see with TV twelve. Now he's throwing dimes.

417
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: Now his chemistry is getting better. I'm just saying. I'm

418
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: just saying. I'm just saying, look at his stats, right,

419
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: look at what's happened. Now. Their chemistry is getting better. Right.

420
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a it's a perfect correlation from

421
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: somebody who hasn't had a lot of rods with with

422
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 1: a group of guys, versus when they feel they get

423
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: more comfortable and look at the production difference, So I

424
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: think we ever can expect the same here. You know,

425
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: out here, Frandy's more than I. I mean, he's he's going,

426
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,959
Speaker 1: he's going, all right. But to your point, you know,

427
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: maybe we were a little spoiled by the way Andy

428
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: came in and went nine of eleven after Dak got

429
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: hurt two games ago. But but what he spoke to yesterday,

430
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: Amari spoke to yesterday, was just what you said. We've

431
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: got to know what the quarterback sees in addition to

432
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: what we see. It's got to be the exact same

433
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: thing in terms of routes and adjustments on routes. And

434
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: they actually spent some time after practice kind of going

435
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 1: over some specific routes and making sure, okay, you're we're

436
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: seeing the same thing. It's that nonverbal communication you talked about,

437
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: And that's that's the most impressive thing about what Dak

438
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: and Amari were able to build in twenty eighteen. Right

439
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: off the trade. Right when Amari came in, it was

440
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: like they've been playing together for years, and so yeah,

441
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: maybe you know, no matter how long you started in

442
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: this league, every rep counts for a quarterback, So maybe

443
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: that'll make the difference, Like Heckma said, though it depends

444
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: on balance, it depends on time, time in the pocket.

445
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: You know, if he can't function there, none of it's

446
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: gonna matter. Well. And of course Dak Prescott had that

447
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 1: timing down with his receivers before his injury. I mean,

448
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 1: he had done the same thing kind of what Isaiah

449
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: was mentioning and Tom Brady of going out and having

450
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: those different get together get togethers in those different meetings

451
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: with his receivers, and unfortunately Andy Dalton just never had

452
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: an opportunity to do that, and his learning curve starts.

453
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: Now it started in training camp. Sure they had the

454
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: reps in training camp, but this is where that curve

455
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: starts kind of really showing up of finding that timing,

456
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: finding a rhythm. And not only is Andy Dalton trying

457
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: to find a rhythm with his receivers, but his receivers

458
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: to him and then also he to the offensive line

459
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: that is still an ever changing carousale of players that

460
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: we mentioned just a little bit ago. So it's kind

461
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: of these different aspects, these different puzzle pieces that continue

462
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: to make things tough on the Cowboys offense moving forward.

463
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: Now when we come back, are these receivers at a

464
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: bigger advantage this week than they were last week to

465
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: maybe have a bounce back week against another solid secondary.

466

00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,840

508
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: lighting is being cut down by this this wild storm

509
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: this morning in the area, so he looks a little

510
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: more intimate. I guess in the light tonight, you look fantastic.

511
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: It's spooky season in the Harrison household. He's already taken

512
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 1: away Christmas and now they take away his lights. Yea,

513
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: but hey, hey, cow can we let him do an

514
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: inch next time? He's like this so you can say

515
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: love today talking Harrison, get a little candle back there.

516
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: So I've been down for that. How about that. We'll

517
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: let we'll let Heck intro the uh intro, the prediction

518
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: segment and kind of give us a nice little hype intro.

519
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: J We we we've been previewing this uh, this Cowboys

520
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: offense up against the Washington defense and the matchup that

521
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: comes up at noon Central Time on Sunday, and guys,

522
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: it was a disappointing week last week for for a

523
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: lot of Cowboys Nation because of the stats and because

524
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: of really the results on Monday that Night football, But

525
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: it was especially disappointing really for wide receivers on Monday

526
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: Night football. Mary Cooper got his phill seven reception seventy

527
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: nine yards, Ceedee Lamb seven for sixty four. But then

528
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: you have Michael Gallup two receptions twenty three yards, Cedric

529
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: Wilson he really didn't have a chance to shine yet

530
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: two receptions ten yards, and Dalton Scholtz had four but

531
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: only thirty five. So my question to you, of course,

532
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: they were going up against a Buddha baker who had

533
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: an interception in that game. Of course, we learned prior

534
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: in that week about Patrick Peterson and really the different

535
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: challenges that they put out there. But now you get

536
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: to see Landon Collins, who we've already mentioned in today's show,

537
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: Ronald Darby out there as well as Kendall Fuller as

538
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: for this Washington defense. So my question to you, Hackma,

539
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: is the wide receiving core going to have a better

540
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: week this week and why well, they have to and

541
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: they have to and guys that are in the slot

542
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: have to be aware that the ball is coming out

543
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: of Andy Dalton's hands quickly. Kendall Fuller to me is man,

544
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: he's a very glitchy cornerback. He will jump a route.

545
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: He doesn't care right, wrong, and different, he will do

546
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: it and that's why he has four interceptions. As he's

547
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: on the leaderboard for having those interceptions. But you know,

548
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, as we talked about in the last segment,

549
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: it's just making sure that Andy Dalton has that comfort

550
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: with the receivers to know what they're going to do.

551
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: And Isaiah's articulated that very well and just saying that, Look,

552
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna come down to these guys finding those

553
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: open spaces and thinking on the same wavelength as Andy

554
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: Dalton because you know what you're gonna get from the

555
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: defensive front. So these guys have to have a better showing. Obviously,

556
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: if you're just comparing the last game, is really kind

557
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: of unfair because of the pressure that Andy Dalton was

558
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: under and he just couldn't find anybody. There were certain

559
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: downs where he held on to the ball way too long,

560
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: and he can't afford to do that. Otherwise you have

561
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: a defensive line that is going to get after him.

562
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: And what I fear most about this matchup versus Washington

563
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: is you know, the strip sack, because if he's standing

564
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: in there and he doesn't feel the pressure behind him

565
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: or in front of him to run pain, uh, sweat

566
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: or young, they are going to be trying to take

567
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: advantage of that and get the ball out of Dalton's hands. Yeah,

568
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: I'm not too concerned about the ball protection side of

569
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: things with Annie Dalton. I think he does a great

570
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: job securing the ball with both hands. Actually he does.

571
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: I think he does a better job than most guys

572
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: in the league in terms of just having both hands

573
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: in the ball and being aware. Um, but the d

574
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: light will present a problem for offensive line. We obviously

575
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: already know that. We already talked about that um last

576
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: week as we looked to last week. All Right, we're

577
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: talking about um, Annie Darner or anybody else for that matter,

578
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: who's the second stream quarterback in this league coming in

579
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: and trying to throw timing routes with their receivers, with

580
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: the starting receivers who they haven't had reps with against

581
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: man coverage against one of the better corners in the

582
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: league Peterson and Um and and and Murray and who

583
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: who Murphy was playing well as well. It's not it's

584
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: not a good thing, right. You want to be able

585
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: to just line up and throw routes on air and

586
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: like like Heck already has alluded to in terms of

587
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: seven or seven when you're trying to throw routes the

588
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: guys that you already don't have timing with versus man

589
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: to man press cover, and those guys's timing is going

590
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: to be thrown off by that as well. It's a

591
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: bad combination. So last week was not the week to

592
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: be trying to rate this passing offense with with the

593
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: new regime at quarterback. UM, this week is a little

594
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: bit better, right, UM. D line is a lot more stout. Um,

595
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: this is this D line presents problems for us. The

596
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: secondary is respectable. Um, but Jack deale Real, the defensive coordinator,

597
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: is going to play base defense. You don't. I don't

598
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: think unless they were watching film and they want to

599
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: get outside of what their their character or their defense is,

600
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: I don't see them bringing a lot of pressure. This

601
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: team is very, um, very bullheaded and very stubborn in

602
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: their defensive schemes, and they're going to run some very

603
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: simple stuff, but they're going to run it well. They're

604
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: gonna run three coverages and they're gonna run them to

605
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: the best of their ability. They're going to communicate well,

606
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: they know where everybody's supposed to be, and they were

607
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: going to rely on this defensive line and push the

608
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: pocket and make it uncomfortable for any Dalton back there.

609
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: Our receivers should have a good game reason beings because

610
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: they're not gonna have guys following them every step of

611
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: the way on their routes. They're gonna be able to

612
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: find the gaps and find holes in this. In his

613
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: own defense, it's gonna come down to kenda offici line.

614
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: Keep this defensive line at bay, keep their hands down

615
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: right to keep them out the passing lanes and keep

616
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: them from bull rushing and pushing back into Andy Dalton's face.

617
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: If they can be respectable and be even okay seventy

618
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: percent out their assignments, I think our offense goes out

619
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: and absolutely kills it against this defense. Yep. It comes

620
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: down to pressure. Because you said it, like we talked earlier,

621
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: maybe maybe they see in copycat Arizona and try to

622
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: blitz more. But they have the luxury of a front

623
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: flour and they put their hands in the dirt and

624
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: they get after it, those front four guys, and so

625
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily have to blitz. You can play more coverage.

626
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: So that's that's the key. You know, Montes sweat You

627
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: watch him and he's in the backfield a lot, so

628
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: they have got to they have got to be on

629
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: their keys there to you guys point like it is

630
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: a good secondary. Kendle Fuller is a good corner derby.

631
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: They've seen him before in the NFC East, So I

632
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: think there will be opportunities there, but it's going to

633
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: depend on how comfortable and Dalton be in the pocket

634
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: to let these let these routes develop, because and the

635
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: other part of the receivers too. They may need to

636
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: get the screen game going, get that short passing game going,

637
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: some of those timing throws and that they got to

638
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: block it up better. You know, that's on receivers and

639
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: tight ends, getting out in space and creating space four

640
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: zeke four pollard uh. I think there might be opportunities

641
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: to get that going, but you got to be able

642
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: to block it up. They haven't been consistent doing that

643
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: and letting those plays. That's a great point, rob And

644
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,719
Speaker 1: in order to run um, um excuse me, in order

645
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: to run screen game against the defense as sound is this,

646
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to get your cut blocks. You're gonna

647
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: have to sell it really well, or these office alignment

648
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: they have to get out. They're gonna be very sure

649
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: about setting the edge and walling their defensive ends in

650
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 1: and getting them washed down. Um, these receivers are going

651
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,239
Speaker 1: to have to block. You can run. You can run

652
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: screenplays all day, all day long, right, and you want

653
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: to because you want to tire route this defensive line

654
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: to make them less effective. Um and you know in

655
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: every other aspect of the game. And if you could

656
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: do that, that's awesome. But even when you do that,

657
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: a lot of times the quarterbacks can come up and

658
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: make the play right and even though you did a

659
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: good job to defensive line, the cornerback comes up a

660
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: spoils the whole play for you. So our receivers are

661
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: gonna to be under ques as well in terms of blocking.

662
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,959
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be it's gonna be required for everybody

663
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: to be doing their job. Now, if you had to

664
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: pinpoint which element of this offense for the Dallas Cowboys

665
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: is going to have more success on Sunday, and heckmon,

666
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna start with you. I'm gonna put you on

667
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: the spot here. Would it be the running game because

668
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: of the susceptibility of maybe taking advantage of overaggression from

669
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: the defensive line in a weaker linebacker corps than we've

670
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: seen in the last couple of weeks. Or the passing

671
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: game because of the opportunities that these receivers are gonna

672
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: have against the zone defense. You know, I don't. I don't.

673
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm not one of those people that feel like you're

674
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: just gonna have to keep running zeke up in there

675
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: against this stone wall of a defense. But I think

676
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: you have to get some type of rhythm going in

677
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: the running game to have give give Andy Dalton success

678
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: in passing the ball. If anyone is going to have success,

679
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,959
Speaker 1: I believe it's gonna be those receivers on hot reads

680
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: because they think they're gonna have an opportunity to take

681
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: some the distance. So you know, for me, it's gonna

682
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: be the receivers. Although I realize the importance of the

683
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 1: running game. I just feel like versus this defensive line,

684
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 1: this may be a tougher task than it had been

685
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: uh in in previous weeks. Rob, I think, Man, oh, Rob, No,

686
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: I Uh, I'm kind of with Heck on this, but

687
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: but I I think they've got to get the run established.

688
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any other way around it. I

689
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: think Zeke's gonna be highly motivated in this game, and

690
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: I know he's got to take care of the ball.

691
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: But I know he's taken a lot of criticism, but

692
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: he's a competitive, a guy that I've covered on this

693
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: team before. I expect him to run angry in this game.

694
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: And if they can, you know, we'll see how they block,

695
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: how they how they because this this front is good

696
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: against the run too. But I think they have to

697
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: get it going, and I kind of have a feeling

698
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to at least to try

699
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: to just kind of keep him off balance, keep him

700
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: honest a little bit in the passing game. Yeah, I

701
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: am in total agreeance with both of you guys in

702
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: that regard. I think Zeke is gonna be a mad

703
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: man as well. You could tell competitors many not to

704
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: say that all guys aren't competitors, but there's levels to this, right,

705
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 1: and Zeke is a true competitor. I could see how

706
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: angry he was at himself last week. Not only was

707
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: he angry at himself for his performance and his lack

708
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: there of execution, but he was mad because he let

709
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: everybody else down and he knows a position that he

710
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: put everybody in. So when you internalize that as a competitor,

711
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: because every player who's who's been been in a position

712
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: to actually control the ball in the game and who's

713
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: made a mistake like that feels that right. They know

714
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: that that weight he's gonna come out and he's gonna

715
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: try to make a point this week. He's gonna try

716
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: to lay that head and try to bust somebody open

717
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: on these on these plays. I think if we're going

718
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: to be successful in the running game, it's not going

719
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,439
Speaker 1: to be running it straight up the middle. Not gonna

720
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: be just straight assignment straight up the middle. Let's line

721
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: up and try to move these guys off the ball.

722
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to even I don't think we have

723
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: to drive these guys off the ball. I think if

724
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: we can even hold them on a line of scrimmage.

725
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: I think Zeke can find some holes in there. We're

726
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: gonna work, but we have to get up to the

727
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: second level. It's one thing to block the defensive line.

728
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: It's another there's four defensive linement for your five offensive alignment, right, so,

729
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: but there's also three linebackers behind those guys. So if

730
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: you don't get up to the second level, those linebackers,

731
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: they they kill your play as well. I think we're

732
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to try to get to some of these

733
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: outside zones and these receivers again, there's gonna be a

734
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on them. Yes, they're trying to find

735
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: some holes in zone coverage for receiving purposes, but also

736
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: blocking wise, they're gonna play a huge part in the

737
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: blocking game. If we want to get this running game

738
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: going versus two high defense, our office alignment gonna have

739
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: to hold the blocks, right, We're gonna need that extra

740
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: office alignment to get up to the next level, and

741
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: then we're gonna need our tight ends, right, We're gonna

742
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,439
Speaker 1: need these guys to get up to the next level

743
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: and get these linebackers in these safeties, and then we

744
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: have a chance. They're getting some running game because they

745
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: do want to play two high safety, and if they

746
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: even think about playing single high safety, that's when our

747
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: passing game has to take over for sure. Yeah. Absolutely,

748
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: And I mean this is a Washington defense that at

749
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: the moment sits in the top five in terms of

750
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: passing defense allowed. I think their second in terms of

751
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: passing defense and passing yardage allowed so far this season

752
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: as a defense. And one of the reasons why they

753
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,399
Speaker 1: put a lot of pressure on the quarterback. And maybe

754
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 1: Zeke's where you try and find a hole, you try

755
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: and make them susceptible and take advantage of establishing the

756
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: run early, and maybe that opens things up with Andy

757
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,919
Speaker 1: Dalton later in the football game. I'm gonna go ahead

758
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: knock this read out so we can then come back

812
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 1: and Isaiah Standback had an okay week as well. I

813
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,480

818

00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna try and get through as mini games as possible.

826
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: So quickly here, heckmas or no, Isaiah's gonna start us off.

827
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: Steelers Titans, Battle of the undefeated teams, last two undefeated

828
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: teams in the AFC. Who you got on this one?

829
00:41:54,520 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: Where's it at? It's Tennessee, I said, quickly, here, Isaiah,

830
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: let's go fam Yeah, sorry, Pittsburg. I'm gonna go to Pittsburgh. Okay,

831
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 1: I like both. Let's go to Pittsburgh. Okay, rob Steelers

832
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: giving up less than like ninety points so far the

833
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: st heckma, I'm right. I'm riding with the Titans. Man.

834
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: I like what they do in the running game. I

835
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be hard to contain Henry. So I'm

836
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: going with the Titans. Ana plus, I gotta make up ground. Yeah,

837
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 1: I gotta make up ground. Two. So either we're gonna

838
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: make up ground or lose another game. I'm going with

839
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: Tennessee and that one both teams five and Oh that'll

840
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 1: be a fun one. Okay, let's go to New England.

841
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo returns to New England as the San Francisco

842
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers at three and three take on the

843
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: Patriots at two and three. I think the Patriots get

844
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 1: back on track and sneak out a win at home

845
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 1: and Gillette Stadium. And I'm gonna give this one to

846
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick and the boys. How about you? Heckma oh,

847
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: this is a toss up game for me. Um, I'm

848
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: going with Cam and this one. Man, I think New

849
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: England Belichick he knows Garoppolo all too well. So now

850
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to New England at home. Rob Belichick's not

851
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: losing two in a row. Okay, New England across the board, Rob, Oh,

852
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna see takes he takes New England. Okay, uh yeah, yeah, No,

853
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots going to two and four, No, I can't

854
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: see it. Yeah, that would be kind of interesting to

855
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 1: say the least. Okay, how about this one flexed Sunday

856
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: night game with the team that we just saw, the

857
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals hosting the Seattle Seahawks and Russell Wilson, who

858
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: has a six one and one record on the road

859
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: against Arizona. And yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and start

860
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 1: with Isaiah. Get that one out of the way. He's

861
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: already putting the Seahawks wings up. Hey, hey, birds of

862
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 1: a feather don't flock together. I'm going with the Hawks, baby,

863
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: they are both birds here. You got the record out there,

864
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: six and one, Yeah, six and one. I'm going to

865
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: seattle on that one. Also, Yeah, I gotta go Russ

866
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: over Kyler m. I'm gonna pick the Cardinals here, and

867
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: they continue their hot streak from what we saw, and

868
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna win it at home on Sunday Night. That said,

869
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: probably a bad pick for me, but I need to

870
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: make up ground again once again. Okay, Monday night game.

871
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: The Bears and the Rams, Los Angeles hosting this one,

872
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: and they're fourteen and four at home since twenty eighteen.

873
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 1: Who you got in this one? Heckma, I'm gonna go

874
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: with the Rams, Okay, rob Right, I haven't seen anything

875
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: of Chicago this season, so I'm not sure why they're

876
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: five and one, So I'll go with the Rams because

877
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 1: i've seen them play. I say it's making ram Wards

878
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: into the screen right now. I say it's like the

879
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 1: least friendly person for someone who listens to talking cowboys.

880
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: I just want to apologize for everyone who's missing out

881
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: by watch the video. Ye got to come back and

882
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: watch it. I keep listening to it. I'm gonna take uh, man,

883
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: I can bake up another game here. But I don't

884
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: want to go against the Rams. But I'm going to

885
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: go with the Rams. I just say, what's your chest?

886
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it with my chest because I think

887
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: they're bringing that whole Kyle. Rams are a better team.

888
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: Rams are a better team. I'm gonna go with Los

889
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: Angeles here. Okay, here's the fun one. You're gonna hate yourself.

890
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna hate. I'm gonna hate it. If if Nick

891
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: folesohow pulls that one out, I'm gonna hate it. Okay,

892
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: big one on Sunday at noon, Cowboys against Washington and

893
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: the football Team. The Cowboys have won seven of the

894
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: last eight matchups. Isaiah, start us off. My friend, I

895
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: got my Cowboy shirt on today because the Cowboys gonna

896
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: win that thing. They winning this ball game. Let's go.

897
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 1: I love it, getting right back on it. Do we

898
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: have a score prediction, mister stanback uh score prediction. Let's

899
00:45:51,719 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: go with U. Let's go twenty eight seventeen. Huh okay, okay, Rob, Yeah,

900
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: look man, if you look, if you watch the News.

901
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: You wouldn't know that there are fourteen other teams that

902
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: have no wins or at least two, and the Cowboys

903
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 1: are amongst them. But this is the game where we

904
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: try and get things back on track. I know we

905
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 1: win this one. It won't be an easy one. I

906
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 1: say a nail by the twenty four to twenty one.

907
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: This comes down to whether you feel better about Washington's

908
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: ability to score on the Cowboys defense or the Cowboys

909
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: offensive line to hold up on their end. To me,

910
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: it's kind of a toss up. But I feel like

911
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: Washington's got enough wards too. I think they've been outscored

912
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: forty seven to fourteen in the first quarter. If that's

913
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,439
Speaker 1: a chance for the Cowboys get off to a good start,

914
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 1: a good start, and if they can do that and

915
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: not turn the ball over, I'll take them. Low scoring

916
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: game though, like twenty one eighteen Cowboys. Yeah, I can

917
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: see that one. I can see that one as well.

918
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: And I told myself last week that after the Arizona game,

919
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: I told myself I was like, I'm not picking the

920
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys until they win again. I'm gonna pick against the

921
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: Cowboys throughout the next couple of weeks. No matter what,

922
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: but just looking just looking at it though, just really

923
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: like this is another one of those things where it's like,

924
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys should win this football game. It would be an

925
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 1: extreme disappointment if they didn't win this game just based

926
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: off of what they had with the inedal. Oh yeah, no,

927
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: I'm backpedaling. For sure, Cowboys are gonna win this game,

928
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: and I think it'll be by a couple of I

929
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,800
Speaker 1: think it'll be buy a couple of scores. Washington's the

930
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: only team in the NFL that has not h the

931
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 1: only team in the NFL that has not scored on

932
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: an opening drive in either the first half or the

933
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: second half all season. They're over twelve in opening drives.

934
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys will get on the board first.

935
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: They'll play with a bit of a lead, and I

936
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: think that does pay dividends for Andy Dalton in that

937
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: offense to find a little bit of a rhythm and

938
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: then hopefully they come out on top. I'll say Cowboys

939
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: twenty seven twenty one in this one. I think it's

940
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: gonna be. I think it'll be a good game. I

941
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: backtracked on that one too. I said scores, Yeah, that's fine,

942
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 1: and I'll backpedal all day long. If I need you,

943
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: I'm saying it with my chest. Twenty one. Guys, it's

944
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: been real fun over the last forty five minutes in
