Speaker 9: It is Thursday, January fourth, twenty twenty four, Season nineteen,

16
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 9: of The Break. We are live from s WBC Morriage Studios.

17
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 9: At the start of day, we're talking Cowboys versus Commanders.

18
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 9: We will dive into the commander's defense versus the Cowboys offense.

19
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 9: Before we get there, though, there are lots of housekeeping

20
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 9: news and notes that we need to catch up on

21
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 9: Cowboys and moves on their roster. They have officially signed

22
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 9: four players and officially cut four players. I'm going to

23
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 9: roll this out for you, guys, and I want to

24
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 9: hear from you on what you think sounds interesting about

25
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 9: this or is this much ado about nothing? Lyell Collins

26
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 9: offensive lineman signed Damian Wilson, linebacker Sir Roderick Thompson running back,

27
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 9: big running back, wide receiver Race McMath. All four of

28
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 9: those players signed to the practice squad who has been

29
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 9: cut Artabius Bryant, Tyron, Billy Johnson, Willington Prevalon, and Adam Pankney.

30
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 9: Let's start first with the guys you. It'll start first

31
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,279
Speaker 9: with the guys who have been signed to the practice squad.

32
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 9: We already talked quite a bit about Lyele Collins and

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 9: what we think he can or cannot do.

34
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: Damian Wilson, how much does he add for you?

35
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 9: Obviously just from the standpoint of having a body that's

36
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 9: actually a linebacker now signed as a linebacker.

37
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 10: Well, it's exactly like you said, because right now, with

38
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 10: the lease of Rashaun Evans, the only true linebacker you

39
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 10: have on the active roster is Demon Clark because you know,

40
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 10: Marquise Bell is a convert from safety and he's a

41
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 10: flex guy. And then you got Buddy Johnson, but he's

42
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 10: on the practice squad and not much you know of

43
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 10: a sample size there. So adding Damian Wilson, which is

44
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 10: not only a true linebacker and in physical form and

45
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 10: as far as football, like you, because that's that's his position,

46
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 10: but it's a familiar face. It's a guy who knows

47
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 10: the organization, who knows a lot of guys that are

48
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 10: still here in the building from his time now, you know,

49
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 10: difference being versus Lyle Collins, where you still Likeola is

50
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 10: still going to have Tyron Smith and Zach Martin and

51
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 10: those kind of familiar faces. This linebacker room looks wildly

52
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 10: different from the last time Damian Wilson took some snaps

53
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 10: in it, so he's also going to have to be

54
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 10: looked upon add some mentorship to that locker room young guys,

55
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 10: Damon Clark and those guys. I'm interested to see what

56
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 10: his Special Teams contributions are going to be, because even

57
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 10: if you look at his play last year, he still

58
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 10: was able to put up a lot of.

59
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 5: Special Teams reps.

60
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 10: I'm curious to see how Bones Fossil uses him in

61
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 10: that aspect as well. But obviously the Cowboys think that

62
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 10: there's some value there as well with him, and hopefully

63
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 10: that's going to add to what he can bring.

64
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, that's a veteran guy, You're absolutely right

65
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 11: about that, and one that you know has experience of

66
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 11: playing here now, not the experience of playing with this

67
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 11: coaching staff, so that's a little bit different for him.

68
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 11: But you know, it's this time of year. It's about

69
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 11: what players you have available. And Patrick talks about having

70
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 11: guys on practice squad available and stuff like that, and

71
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 11: I think that's important because coaches need to have confidence

72
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 11: that they can put guys out there and get the

73
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 11: job done. And obviously, you know, there's a great deal

74
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 11: of trust between Dan quinn and Will McLay and if

75
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 11: Will saying, hey, listen, we could do this with this guy.

76
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 11: I can help you with this guy, and Dan's like, okay, man,

77
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 11: just bring him in. We'll coach him up and we'll

78
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 11: see what happens. So you know, when you going through

79
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 11: those litany of names of guys that got released other

80
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 11: than Bryant, it was like that was a.

81
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: Practice squad player. That was a practice squad guy.

82
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 12: I know the guys that they signed better than some

83
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 12: of the names you name.

84
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: What I'm saying, think about that.

85
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 11: You know, if if you're going through the season and

86
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 11: you're and now you're having to put guys on the

87
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 11: bring guys up, elevate guys to play, you're you're you're

88
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 11: thinking like you're like, oh man, how does this guy.

89
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: Help.

90
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 11: I'm not familiar with his game. You know, you know

91
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 11: when you look at the guys that they've added, that's

92
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 11: now you're you're in that playoff mode. You've had an opportunity.

93
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 11: The guys they've let go, they've had an opportunity to

94
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 11: work with them. It doesn't you know, it didn't it

95
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 11: didn't pan out.

96
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: Like for Brian.

97
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 11: I know there are a lot of people that are

98
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 11: asking me, and I'm sure Patrick you were getting the

99
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 11: same same text, the same tweets, how are they gonna

100
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 11: get Brian up?

101
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: And when you get rid of.

102
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 11: Gallops and all that, And I'm like going, guys, he

103
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 11: ain't coming up unless there's an injury or and now

104
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 11: you know you've kind of seen it didn't work out.

105
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 11: You know, they kicked the tires on it.

106
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 3: It didn't go.

107
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 11: Maybe you bring it back another time if you have

108
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 11: a spot. But you know that's where you're at now.

109
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 11: It's about getting players that you have confidence in that

110
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 11: if you had to play them and bring them up

111
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 11: and then play them, that you feel like that they

112
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 11: could get the job.

113
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 3: Done on a one or two game basis if you

114
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 3: had to.

115
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 12: I think for me, I do really like the signing,

116
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 12: But I think it's mainly because of the familiarity that

117
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 12: we know these guys, we've seen them play. They're not

118
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 12: the best of the best, but they can go out

119
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 12: there and still play for you and help you out

120
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 12: in ways that right now you don't have any other choice.

121
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 12: But so I think it's more of that of just

122
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 12: knowing and also thinking of like, Okay, they're fresh. But

123
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 12: at the same time that can be a bad thing too,

124
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 12: because sometimes it takes you a while to get into

125
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 12: actual play form and being out there on the field,

126
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 12: because one thing is practicing saying in shape, and we

127
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 12: know very well another thing is being out there during

128
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 12: the game. But it's good to have them. I think

129
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 12: Damian Wilson, from what I remember, he wasn't terrible. He

130
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 12: was okay, like a solid guy to have there. He

131
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 12: wasn't the best. He sometimes would have trouble on the field,

132
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 12: but it wasn't anything that from what I remember that

133
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 12: I can think of, Man, we need to get rid

134
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 12: of this guy, get him out of here, cut him.

135
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 13: It wasn't like that.

136
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 10: No, his time with the Cowboys a pretty solid, especially

137
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 10: in rotation with like Anthony Hitchens and Shown Lee when

138
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 10: he was healthy, Damian Wilson he stepped in rotationally and

139
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 10: was he perfect, No, but he was definitely one of

140
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 10: the better rotational guys at the time. And obviously we're

141
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 10: talking years removed, because that's twenty eighteen last time he

142
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 10: was here. Now he's back five years later. But even

143
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 10: if you look at what he did with Carolina five starts,

144
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 10: he was available all seventeen games. He was available all

145
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 10: seven team games in twenty twenty one for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

146
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 5: So he's durable.

147
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 10: He's continued to be durable, and like I said, he's

148
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 10: bringing added value because forty five percent of the special

149
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 10: team snaps for the Panthers had Damian Wilson involved. So

150
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 10: now he's if you're Will McLay, you're talking to dan Quinn,

151
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 10: like like Brian said, you're saying, okay, well, dan Quinn,

152
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 10: trust me on this. He can give you some value

153
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 10: on defense. And then you look over at bones Fosts

154
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 10: when you say, hey, you want another special teams guy,

155
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 10: prove a veteran who can give you some snaps as well.

156
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 10: So hopefully kind of the win win there. I wouldn't

157
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 10: I wouldn't say it's any kind of a blockbuster situation, right,

158
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 10: so you know, great, it's a familiar face and he

159
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 10: can come in an impact. He's a quality addition to

160
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 10: the practice squad insurance guy if you need him.

161
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 5: But let's not make it any smaller or bigger than what.

162
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 13: We expect them to see them, any of them this

163
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 13: weekend or that's way too fast.

164
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 5: I think that's too soon.

165
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: I would assume that's way too soon.

166
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 9: But if I'll put it like this, if it were

167
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 9: a game, let's say this game gets away from you,

168
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 9: or this game you were in your leading big if

169
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 9: any of them are even up, like, that's also the thing,

170
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 9: like do they get call them up? But you may

171
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 9: be looking for bodies to put in if you get

172
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 9: into a situation where the game is out of hand

173
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 9: one way or the other, and you know, you're just like, okay,

174
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 9: let's we're looking forward to the playoff at this point,

175
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 9: and we get our starters out of there, maybe we'll

176
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 9: get some burn. But I don't even expect any of

177
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 9: them to necessarily be up, unless, unless, of course, there

178
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 9: is flare up, say with with knock on Wood with

179
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 9: Tyrann to where you're like, hey, we probably just ought

180
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 9: to have a backup available to us.

181
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: But other than that, I don't think.

182
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 9: I don't think I necessarily expect them to be up.

183
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 9: I do have a question for you guys about Sir

184
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 9: Roger Thompson. One thing that stood out to me. He's

185
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 9: a bigger guy, six foot two fifteen. Knowing that they've

186
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 9: been looking for a solution for short yardage for you know,

187
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 9: power type situations, how does that play in do you

188
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 9: think that maybe he's a guy that they look at

189
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 9: for that type of role? And number two on that

190
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 9: same line, do you think that this ends any speculation

191
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 9: about Dalvin Cooks since they have now signed a running

192
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 9: back to that.

193
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 11: He is on waivers today, by the way, so yeah,

194
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 11: you can put a claim in for him today, let's

195
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 11: talk about it. Yeah, but again yeah, yeah, I didn't

196
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 11: want to get money.

197
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 3: I'm usually the guy to get everybody in trouble here.

198
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 11: So now yeah, that's uh, he is on waivers three

199
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 11: o'clock today. Uh, you will know whether if you put

200
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 11: a claim in for him or not, whether you get

201
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 11: him awarded to you.

202
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 3: Uh.

203
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 11: The thing, you know, it's it's interesting to me just

204
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 11: for the fact that they they're they are hunting. They

205
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 11: are hunting of backs obviously here, uh and you know

206
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 11: when they But what was strange was the fooko move

207
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 11: for for Vaughan. You know, to me that one maybe

208
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 11: you hold if you're interested in bringing it back on,

209
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 11: that you would hold and say, Okay, we need this

210
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 11: roster move, we need this, we need that spot in

211
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 11: order to get this guy on.

212
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 3: And you know I heard it would Douce.

213
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 11: It's an ankle injury that he's dealing with right now,

214
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 11: so that's why they were able to do what they

215
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 11: were able.

216
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 3: To do with him.

217
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 11: But it just seemed like it was like they're they're

218
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 11: they're having a hard time getting guys on the roster

219
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 11: right now because the to their credit, I mean, I

220
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 11: didn't want to say it. We all know why they're

221
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 11: having trouble, you know, because they're fortunately things are going

222
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,599
Speaker 11: the right way with their you know what that I

223
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 11: don't like to talk about because every time I talk

224
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 11: about it seems something bad app Yeah, so I don't

225
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 11: want to talk about it. But anyway, that's that's where

226
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 11: they're at. I mean, their team is is kind of

227
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 11: rolling along right now and they don't want to make

228
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 11: any moves that that might upset the way that those

229
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 11: things are going. So yeah, this this, uh, but having

230
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 11: on a bat, I think it's once again, it's just

231
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 11: kind of a kicking the tire situation. I don't think

232
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 11: I would read into it anymore than that, Like, you know,

233
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 11: he is a bigger guy.

234
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 3: Let's see what he's got and and uh, if it

235
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: you know, if.

236
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 11: It works out that it's part of an elevation. I

237
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 11: still think they're going to look at Hunter Lipkey. I

238
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 11: know that I know that what happened the fumble was

239
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 11: a bad situation at that time, but man, he is though.

240
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 11: When you do hand him the ball, he can convert,

241
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 11: you know, and that and that fumble was just a

242
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 11: you know, maybe hopefully that's the only thing that ever

243
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 11: happens bad to him carrying the football for the Dallas Cowboys.

244
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 10: I think when you look at Thompson and and I

245
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 10: love I love the human aspect of these guys. And

246
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 10: I say that to the to the Thompson aspect of

247
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 10: this is a guy. This is an irving Texas kid.

248
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 10: He's a former Red Raider with Texas Tech and he's

249
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 10: coming home, so I mean he'll have a lot of

250
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 10: motivation because this is literally his hometown team and he.

251
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 3: Wants to prove Vali Ranchkid.

252
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, Vali Ranch Kid. Absolutely, Ranchview went to the same

253
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 10: high school that my son's graduated, Stomping Grounds shouts out to.

254
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 5: Ranchfreet High School with the Wolves.

255
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 10: But yeah, so I think it's it's a situation where Thompson,

256
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 10: he is kind of a bigger guy. He can give

257
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 10: you that he had some really good numbers with Texas Tech,

258
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 10: both from the rushing aspect as far as yard is touchdowns,

259
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 10: but also he can give you some receiving yards out

260
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 10: of the backfield as well, so just overall yards from scrimmage,

261
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 10: he can give that to you. To answer your question,

262
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 10: does it preclude them from, you know, possibly looking in

263
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 10: the Dalvin could I'm told no, it does not. The

264
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 10: angle the Cowboys are taking based on the conversations I

265
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 10: had yesterday, is that they aren't necessarily interested in claiming

266
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 10: his contract. So even though it was reworked so that

267
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 10: he could get the mutual release mutually agreed upon release

268
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 10: from the Jets, Cowboys aren't interested in the contract, but

269
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 10: they are with the players. So if he does clear waivers.

270
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: This is not a waiverclaim type situation.

271
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 10: Correct, it's not a waiverclaim type situation for the Cowboys.

272
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 10: It's more so if he claims waivers, they'll likely be

273
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 10: on the phone to try to see what his numbers are.

274
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 5: So, but you don't know how that goes. So what

275
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 5: do you do?

276
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 10: You go and get somebody like Sir Roderick Thompson and say,

277
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 10: come on, let's kick those tires and let's see what's

278
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 10: going on there.

279
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 5: All right, let's go and.

280
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 2: Take our first break.

281
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 9: When we come back, we'll dive into this Washington defense,

282
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 9: talk about some of the things that stand out maybe

283
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 9: from the first game, as well as some of the

284
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 9: things that have happened to their team and some of

285
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 9: the guys that we would be aware of that we

286
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 9: need to be aware of heading into this weekend's matchup.

287

294
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,600

Speaker 9: It is the second segment of The Break live from

345
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 9: the SWEC Mortgage studios. At the start, the segment brought

346
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 9: to you by blockchain dot Com. All right, let's talk

347
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 9: about this Washington defense. The thing that pops out is

348
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 9: immediately when you start looking at the numbers around this team,

349
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 9: they are dead last points allowed.

350
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 2: They are also dead last in yards allowed.

351
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 9: Every That is the two statistical measures you probably look

352
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 9: at to say where teams rank, and offense and defense

353
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 9: they're dead last.

354
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, that being.

355
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: Said, Brian, what do they do well? What do they

356
00:15:58,680 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: do well?

357
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 9: And where are they most vulnerable? Obviously vulnerable in a

358
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 9: lot of spots where they most.

359
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 11: Of the secondaries, Where the secondary where they're they're having

360
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 11: problems right now. Uh, but it's gonna start up front

361
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 11: with those two defensive tackles.

362
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 3: They actually played the forty nine Ers.

363
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 11: Pretty well in this football game, and then it kind

364
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 11: of got away from got away from them. But the

365
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 11: Cowboys did a really nice job against Aron Payne and

366
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 11: Jonathan Allen the last time that they played. And so

367
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 11: the question you have now is what's the situation with

368
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 11: Tyler Smith?

369
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 3: You know? And uh t J.

370
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 11: Bass has done a really fine job when he's been

371
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 11: asked to play. This is a different animal though, that

372
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 11: he's having to deal with with Payne and Allan inside.

373
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 3: So we'll see what happens. I was told that at

374
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 3: the Tyler Smith's situation is actually.

375
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 11: Gonna carry over to Sunday. They're gonna they're gonna get there.

376
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 11: They're gonna try and figure it out. And if he

377
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 11: can go, he can go. If you can't go, then

378
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 11: you're gonna get TJ. Bass And they're playing. So but

379
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 11: it's gonna start up front with the commanders at those

380
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 11: two spots. It's hard to move these guys one on one,

381
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 11: it really really is. Opponents have had success on them

382
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 11: attacking on the outside, not running the ball inside, but

383
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 11: running the ball to the outside. And so I guess

384
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 11: say a little my Odyssey group by the way, all

385
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 11: my friends, there's all my guys I work with right

386
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 11: there in Odyssey.

387
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 3: So Hi, guys, Great to see you guys. But yeah,

388
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 3: so the.

389
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 11: Thing with people have had success running the ball on

390
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 11: the edges and staying away from running the middle. If

391
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,239
Speaker 11: you look at the forty nine er game, and I

392
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 11: was curious about this, Allen was doubled thirteen times by

393
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 11: the forty nine ers and Payne was doubled eight times.

394
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 11: So they're not going to let teams are not going

395
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 11: to let those guys control the game. They have a

396
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 11: weakness at linebacker. Dallas did a great job in the

397
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 11: game going back and watching and taking advantage of this

398
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 11: commander linebacker group. Cody Barton I think is the best

399
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 11: player of the group, but there were a couple of

400
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 11: times where he was matched up on Jake Ferguson. Ferguson

401
00:17:59,280 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 11: took him to the wood.

402
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 3: Shit.

403
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 11: So you know, we'll see if they I don't expect

404
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 11: Ron Rivera to make the same mistakes that Jack del

405
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 11: Rio did in this game with some of his some

406
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 11: of his matchups right there. The screen works against these guys,

407
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 11: and misdirection works.

408
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 3: Against these guys too.

409
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 11: When you start to talk about how you maybe want

410
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 11: to attack them, the secondary is really really banged up,

411
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 11: you know. And I was talking to somebody with the

412
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 11: commanders about this, and it might be if the situation

413
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 11: was different, that maybe some of these guys wouldn't be

414
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,719
Speaker 11: on the injury list. But you know, it's it is

415
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 11: what it is for them right now. And that's a

416
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 11: whole other thing we need to get into about how

417
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 11: they might play this game. But Benjamin Saint Jus Kendall Fuller,

418
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 11: they're dealing with injuries. Castro Fields is also dealing with

419
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 11: an injury. That got concussions, You've got knees, you've got

420
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 11: shoulder problems that are starting a rookie now with Emmanuel Forbes,

421
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 11: he's played quite a bit against the forty nine ers.

422
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 11: He's probably their best guy of all the guys that

423
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 11: are playing right now, of the the guys that aren't injured.

424
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 3: Uh.

425
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 11: But it's it's a group that really really struggles to

426
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 11: to stop people.

427
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 3: From throwing the ball on them.

428
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 11: And that's and that's something that the forty nine ers

429
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 11: were able to do pretty well with Samuel au can Kittle.

430
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 11: That's you know, they had their way throwing the ball

431
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 11: with them. And that's that's the problem that they're going

432
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 11: to probably have to deal with again this week.

433
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 9: You mentioned Jonathan Allen, a defensive tackle. He did not

434
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 9: practice yesterday also with a knee injury. Yeah, if Allan

435
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 9: is able to play combined with pain, how does TJ.

436
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 2: Bass match up there?

437
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,479
Speaker 9: Like that's based on what TJ. Bass does well and

438
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 9: not so well. How does he match up?

439
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 11: Yeah, the problem that you're dealing with with with Allan

440
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 11: at Pain is the power they they are.

441
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 3: They are so just explosive off the ball.

442
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 11: So now when you when you make that contact and

443
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 11: you watch, it's like you hit and then they just

444
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 11: stop you. You just stopping your tracks and now they're

445
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 11: they're kind of rocking you back or they're kind of

446
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 11: now they're working around you their hands or pulling around you.

447
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 11: You honestly need to when they're not in the game,

448
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 11: that's when you need to take advantage of them even

449
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 11: more on defense because they have matthis and John Ridgeway

450
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 11: who used to play here. When those guys get it tackle,

451
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 11: that's when you have to kind of find a way

452
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 11: to make some hay, you know. But when the other

453
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 11: two guys in there, because like I say, the one

454
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 11: thing that Bass could do is He is a strong guy,

455
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 11: and he does a really good job with his past

456
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 11: set of sitting down, bending his knees, anchoring down on

457
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 11: those guys. But I'm if I'm the Cowboys, I'm kind

458
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 11: of taking a page of the forty nine er book.

459
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 11: If I'm be oddish, I'm kind of keeping an eye

460
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 11: on what's going on to my left. If Tyler Smith's

461
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 11: not playing.

462
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 3: Zach Martin, You're a Hall of Famer over here, man,

463
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 3: you understand how hard it is to do with those beggings.

464
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 3: Like we're gonna have a day. We're gonna get to

465
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 3: talk to Zach today.

466
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 11: On his weekly show, and he'll tell you that it's like,

467
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 11: you know, it's these are tough matchups for these guys.

468
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,719
Speaker 11: But bass is you know, he's strong, he's powerful, but

469
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 11: he doesn't have a whole heck of a lot of

470
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 11: experience against a guy like this, So we'll see how

471
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 11: it works out for him.

472
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 9: It sounds like Alan and Payne obviously the two big names.

473
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 9: Are there any other players on that defense that you're like,

474
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 9: this guy can be a problem.

475
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 11: Not really, No, not really, I mean I like I

476
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 11: like I like Forbes the corner because what they could

477
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 11: do is he can match up. You know, we've seen

478
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 11: last the last couple of weeks teams treat and this

479
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 11: is if Saint Jus can say fuller, do play, then

480
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 11: you could use Forbes. We've seen teams attack Jake Ferguson

481
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 11: like he's a wide receiver. Yeah, we've seen the Lions

482
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 11: last week they took their their were their best cover

483
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 11: guy and put him on. You know, there were snaps

484
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 11: where they took Ferguson where like, Okay, we'll take our

485
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 11: chances with Lamb on the outside. But we know at

486
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 11: this situation that maybe Prescott's going to want to throw

487
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 11: the ball. So that's that's the things that you're now

488
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 11: starting to see and and that's the one thing that

489
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 11: that I think that Forbes can do is you know,

490
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 11: and you look at where he in the game. Just

491
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 11: I went back, I'm like, okay, I noticed what he's

492
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 11: doing here. You look at the metrics of the game.

493
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 11: He took Samuel in the game, he took Ayuk in

494
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 11: the game, and he took Kittle in the game.

495
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 3: So they're obviously trying to.

496
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 11: Get him involved in you know, he was one of

497
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 11: their better cover guys of trying to at least move

498
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 11: him around enough to take various reps against the forty nine.

499
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 3: Ers best weapons.

500
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 9: If you had to identify one person in the secondary

501
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 9: that was the target, Like we're going to try to

502
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 9: attack this guy, who would that be?

503
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,719
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's it's the guy. The guy that gave up

504
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 11: that that's giving up the most to Saint Jews is

505
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 11: he's he's been.

506
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 3: It's been a little bit of a struggle for him.

507
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 11: The Cowboys the first time around went after him pretty good.

508
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 2: And what does he typically line up?

509
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 3: They flip, They play both sides. This is what they do.

510
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 11: So you're not gonna you're not gonna be able to

511
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 11: get a bead. So I would just I would. I

512
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 11: would try and find a way to match up. We'll

513
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 11: see if if if they don't play, then these guys

514
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 11: in the world have heard even more.

515
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know with what they're going to have to

516
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 3: deal with.

517
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 11: But I just feel like that Dallas, the the the

518
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 11: their ability, they just don't hold up and coverage very well.

519
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 11: You know, they don't they don't carry routes particularly well. Uh,

520
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 11: they don't play the ball particularly well. And you know,

521
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 11: I feel like that you know, Dallas, Dallas had a

522
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 11: really good plan against him last time, and I I

523
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 11: expect I say Jack del Rio was the defensive coordinat

524
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 11: at the time. Uh, you know this is gonna be

525
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 11: a Ron Rivera game.

526
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 3: Uh.

527
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 11: And you know Ron Rivera is probably coaching his last

528
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 11: This is probably his last gick. It's probably his last

529
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 11: time he's going to coach in a coach a game.

530
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 11: So I have a feeling he's going to try and

531
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 11: match up the best he can. He's just playing short

532
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 11: handed right now with this.

533
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 9: Guys, knowing that they struggled so much to get pressure

534
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 9: on Dallas in the last game. They only had two pressures,

535
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 9: zero sacks, and they don't have the defensive ends that

536
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 9: they once had. They got rid of both their defensive

537
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 9: ends early this year. In trades, they're good defensive, their

538
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 9: best defensive.

539
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 3: Ends sweat and young and young.

540
00:23:59,240 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

541
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 9: So do you think that this could be a game

542
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 9: where maybe they go in and think, hey, we got

543
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 9: a blitz. Have you seen me in that over the

544
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 9: last couple of weeks, where maybe they're doing a little

545
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 9: bit more of that to try to generate pressure, or

546
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 9: is this just one of those games where they're just

547
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 9: not going to generate pressure and as we all know,

548
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 9: if you don't pressure Dak Prescott and you just let

549
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 9: him sit back there, he's probably gonna carve you up.

550
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 11: Yeah, they played a lot of zone last week. I

551
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 11: mean watching them against the forty nine ers, I think

552
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 11: that's kind of what they want to do. They're trying

553
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 11: not to give up the big play if they can.

554
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 11: You know, that's what That's how teams are really playing

555
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 11: Dallas now, they're just not letting Dallas, you know, have

556
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 11: those The problem that the that the Commanders had in

557
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 11: the Thanksgiving Day game was they gambled on some coverages

558
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 11: that you know, some of these routes that the Cowboys ran.

559
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 11: The safety play was really really bad. They got the

560
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 11: corners turned around, safeties were reading the wrong thing. It

561
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 11: seems to be that the coverage things that they were doing,

562
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 11: the combinations of trying to take care of the second

563
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 11: and be solid the secondary, they really really weren't. So

564
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 11: I think Dallas can throw the ball on him. Like

565
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 11: I say, how how do you handle what's going on

566
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 11: at defensive tackle in this game?

567
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 4: That?

568
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 11: I think they can handle everything else. I think they

569
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 11: can manage everything else. It's it's if Tyler Smith doesn't play.

570
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 11: How do you find a way to help TJ basson

571
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 11: this game so that the middle of this Cowboy offense

572
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 11: doesn't get affected.

573
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 10: And when you go back and you look at the

574
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 10: Thanksgiving game, quite as it's kept Tony Pollard had a

575
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 10: pretty good day.

576
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 5: It had that afternoon.

577
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 10: So not only did you have Dak Prescott kind of

578
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 10: carving up the secondary, the poor secondary four touchdowns, three

579
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 10: hundred and thirty one yards, one forty two point one rating,

580
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 10: here's Tony Pollard seventy nine, Yeah, seventy nine rushing yards,

581
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 10: six point one yards per carry. So going into that game,

582
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 10: we said it then that this Washington secondary was launched

583
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 10: like you could absolutely have a day there. The question

584
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 10: was how would the Cowboys perform in the running the game,

585
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 10: especially running interior with Payne and Allen. Well, to answer

586
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 10: your question, Pollard had a really good that day. And

587
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 10: now it's a situation where either Allen may not play

588
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 10: in this game because of injury or he will be

589
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 10: far less than one hundred percent. So it kind of

590
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 10: goes to, you know, the logic that maybe this is

591
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 10: a game with Tony Poler gets a good bounce back.

592
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 10: And then Rico Dada was expected to return, So you

593
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 10: definitely want to continue to let your primary form of

594
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 10: attack against this commander's defense be attack that secondary.

595
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, Like I say, a lot of the perimeter runs,

596
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 11: they ran the ball to the weak side, set formation

597
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 11: to the left schoon maker for some left side ran the.

598
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 3: Ball back to the right like a toss just toss week.

599
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 11: And then they also went with their crack game where

600
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 11: they brought there, you know, and they the Commanders just

601
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 11: didn't handle that very well. Linebackers, corners get cracked. And

602
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 11: now the ball's out.

603
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 3: On the edge.

604
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 11: So a lot of the runs were going to be

605
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 11: on the on that outside. I think if Dallas is

606
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 11: gonna maybe they'll go back and look at this, maybe

607
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 11: the Commanders will say, well, we've got to play a

608
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 11: little bit wider. Forty nine ers had a good day

609
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 11: running the ball on the edge too. I think anybody

610
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 11: that plays the Commanders can run the ball on the edge.

611
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 11: I just think they get the support that they needed

612
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 11: that spot.

613
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 10: Also, because the defensive end that those positions are weakened

614
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 10: by the trade for you know, Chase Young being sent away,

615
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 10: monch Sweat being sent away. So even if they say

616
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 10: we're going to play a little bit wider. Well, now

617
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 10: you're you're basically weakening Allan in pain because they play

618
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 10: better in that phone booth. But if you're widening the

619
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 10: phone booth, you're asking them to do more lateral work

620
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 10: that widens the gaps in the A and B and

621
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 10: there you go. There, So some interior runs they just

622
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 10: really don't have an answer as far as their defense

623
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 10: is concerned.

624
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 12: I'm trying to not get too confident with your knee

625
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 12: you did.

626
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 13: I don't even know where the button.

627
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 2: It's one of those days.

628
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 13: Okay, I got long legs. Okay.

629
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 12: I was saying that I'm trying to not get or

630
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 12: feel too confident about this game because right now everything

631
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 12: seems to be so much in favor.

632
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 13: For the Cowboys.

633
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 12: Like you talk about an opportunity to have a good

634
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 12: passing game but also a good running game to end

635
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 12: the season with kind of being back and establishing the run,

636
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 12: maybe Tony Poler feeling a little bit more confident comfortable

637
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 12: with running. Also maybe winning a road game and ending

638
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 12: the season high on that. But also I'm like, okay,

639
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 12: take it back and chill, because we've seen this happen

640
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 12: before Arizona. We've seen it happen even against the Panthers.

641
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 12: It wasn't a game where the Cowboy was completely dominated.

642
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 13: You know, they should have, but I mean they won.

643
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 12: But so it's one of those things where you're trying

644
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:47,239
Speaker 12: to everything sounds great with the both scouting reports that

645
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 12: you gave Brian of the update between yesterday and today,

646
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 12: but also being mindful of how things can easily turn

647
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 12: bad and how the Washington commanders, how they can all

648
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 12: the sad and show up and decide to play a

649
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 12: great game against the Cowboys.

650
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, and talking to people in Washington about this game,

651
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 11: and because I was asking about the second overall pick

652
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 11: and protecting it and all that, they do want to

653
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 11: play some young players, that that's something that's interesting to them.

654
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 11: They would like to try and play some young guys

655
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 11: and see how it goes. But they got coaches on

656
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 11: that staff that are honestly coaching for their jobs. Yeah,

657
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 11: and so nobody wants to go out you know that way,

658
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 11: and you never know, it might be a situation where

659
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 11: you know, ownership says, well, hey listen, we like this

660
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 11: position coach, or we like that guy. You have holdovers

661
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 11: some staffs and stuff like that. So that's kind of

662
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 11: why you know that they're I don't think they're interested

663
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 11: in tanking this game, but it's one big that they

664
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 11: would like to have just for the fact that they'd

665
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 11: like to, you know, for new for the ownership, and

666
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 11: maybe for the next coach, that there's reasons for us

667
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 11: to stay around here and help coach.

668
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting this.

669
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 9: I saw a video this morning on social media where

670
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 9: they were asking the Washington players about the fact that

671
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 9: that the fans are in the were in the stadium

672
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 9: cheering for them to lose because they want to keep

673
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 9: that pick, and you can tell the players are like

674
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 9: to kind of taking it back by it. But also

675
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 9: they made it clear our expectations of ourselves this weekend

676
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 9: is we're going to win this game because we want

677
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 9: to win this game.

678
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 13: Sometimes players don't care about draft.

679
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 2: No no, no, the absolutely don't. But but I also think

680
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 2: that's also part of it.

681
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 9: I think that they are focused primarily on winning because

682
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 9: not only do they just players want to do it,

683
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 9: but I also think it's because sometimes you have people

684
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 9: just constantly saying you don't need to win, you don't

685
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 9: need to win, y'all good enough, y'all good enough to

686
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 9: sometimes it just becomes a thing where Okay, let's see,

687
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 9: let's see, and I do think that they're going to

688
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 9: come in ready to play. Question will be did they

689
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 9: prepare a during the week like they wanted to play?

690
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 3: But I think their.

691
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 9: Effort on Sunday will be every bit as much as

692
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 9: any team the Cowboys will have played this season.

693
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 3: This is likely going to be a tough game.

694
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: It will It'll be a tough game. All right, it's

695
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: sec our final break, let's come back.

696
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:56,959
Speaker 9: I do have a question for you guys about this

697
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 9: Cowboys defense and how concerned you might be at this

698
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 9: point about them being able to close out games. We'll

699
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 9: talk about that when we come back to the stalls

700
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 9: Cowboys dot Com Radio.

701
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 14: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

702
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 14: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

703
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 14: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

704
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 14: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

705
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 14: But the good news is Todd has at and T

706
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 14: five g. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

707
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 14: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

708
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,440

750
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 9: We are alive from this WBC Mortgage Studios.

751

Speaker 2: At the Star.

752
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 9: Let's talk about the Cowboys defense. We've seen over the

753
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 9: last two games now where the offense has gone down

754
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 9: and scored to put the Cowboys in position to where

755
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 9: they were in the lead in the final minutes of

756
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 9: the game, and in both those instances, the defense allowed

757
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 9: scorers that allowed the other team to get back into

758
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 9: position to possibly win or win, as it was the

759
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 9: case in Miami. How cancer you about this defense's.

760
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:02,959
Speaker 2: Ability to be able to close our games?

761
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 10: What I said about it this particular game against the

762
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 10: Lions was that, and I know Brian agreed. You changed

763
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 10: how you played defense on that final drive, right. You

764
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 10: played it a certain way that was effective for the

765
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,919
Speaker 10: majority of the game, which helped you keep them down

766
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 10: to just a touchdown, much like you did against the

767
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 10: Miami Dolphins. But also like you did against the Miami

768
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 10: Dolphins when you needed that final stop, you got softer

769
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 10: as far as how you spaced it. You got different

770
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 10: in how you played it. And that's my concern. I

771
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 10: don't believe that the Cowboys have an issue with getting

772
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 10: the final stop. If they just continued to do on

773
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 10: that final drive what they did successfully. The only reason

774
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 10: to change in the final drive is if something wildly

775
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 10: wasn't working over the course of the game. But when

776
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 10: you've hold when you've held these two powerful offenses down

777
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 10: for fifty eight minutes of football, and now you're down

778
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 10: to two minutes, why change up?

779
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 5: Why change up? That's why it started to allow chunk plays.

780
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 9: So to be clear, your concern is more with how

781
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 9: the defense is being called that right in.

782
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 10: Those final in those final moments with the game on

783
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 10: the line. It's why change up. It's the play calling

784
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 10: in that instance, because you're play calling in your execution.

785
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 10: It was there for fifty eight minutes, and then here

786
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 10: come to the final two and then you change up

787
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 10: and now you're allowing the chunk plays.

788
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 5: That's a concern for me.

789
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 11: Give me the Seattle defense that whatever defense they played

790
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 11: in that final drives against the Seahawks to get those

791
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 11: games to get off the field, they had three fourth

792
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 11: down plays and then the pressure. You know that that's

793
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 11: the thing. When the Cowboys do not get pressure, that's

794
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 11: a problem for them in those situations.

795
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 2: Because that's because of the second.

796
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 3: Well, the secondary, Yeah, the secondary. You know.

797
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 11: In this last game though, the spacing was not great,

798
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 11: you know, and to Dan's credit, he went three different

799
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 11: ways to try and to stop it. It wasn't like

800
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 11: he just sat there, down after down after down using

801
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 11: the same defense.

802
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 3: He tried.

803
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 11: It just didn't work. The common denominator here is when

804
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 11: the Cowboys don't get pressure, they could be very mediocre.

805
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 11: As a pass defense can be very mediocre that way pressure.

806
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 11: You know, the whole entire game, you were you were

807
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 11: creating problems for Jared Golf and then all of a

808
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 11: sudden he gets comfortable on that final drive because there's

809
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 11: no pressure. I think Dan learned a lesson there. I think,

810
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 11: you know, you can't if we're gonna The Seattle game

811
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 11: was a great example of coming after that quarterback and

812
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 11: affecting the way, and they were able to do it

813
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 11: with their front.

814
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 6: Uh.

815
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 11: But that in that in the Miami game, they couldn't

816
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 11: get home, and they couldn't get home in this last

817
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 11: game on that final drive. And that was the difference

818
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 11: really in the game, in the Dolphin game especially. But

819
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 11: you know, if they they they've Dan's trying. I just

820
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 11: think if they don't get pressure. Then they they are

821
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 11: very ordinary on defense, and that's not going to win

822
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 11: you many games.

823
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 3: Being ordinary. You have to be almost elite at.

824
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 11: The very end to win games, and you know being

825
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:53,479
Speaker 11: ordinary is gonna get you beat.

826
00:36:54,280 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's somewhat of a tough question, because I I am.

827
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,919
Speaker 12: But at the same time I'm not, Like I'm more

828
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 12: concerned about the offense and them doing their job, Like

829
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 12: I can't blame the defense, like by the end of

830
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 12: the game, Like, bro, I'm tired, I'm drained, I've gave

831
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 12: you my all. I've given you all I got. I

832
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 12: catch an interception for you, and you do nothing Like

833
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 12: I think I can get go sit for a few

834
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 12: moments on the bench.

835
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 13: Next thing I know, I'm right back out. So it's just.

836
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 12: Yes, concerning the whole broad aspect of it, But at

837
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 12: the same time, I just don't. I can't be mad

838
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 12: at them, as you know.

839
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 10: Let me say this to add to your point where

840
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 10: you're going with this. It also goes to offensive play

841
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 10: calling and execution as well late in these games. So

842
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 10: an example would be, if you see that your defense

843
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 10: has held strong, be it an interception or you know,

844
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 10: DeMarcus Lawrence gets a critical run stop on third with

845
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 10: goal to go, and now your offense gets the ball back.

846
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 10: It's late in the game. How you call that next

847
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 10: offensive drive? First of all, it needs to be penalty free.

848
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 5: You don't need anything putting you behind the sticks.

849
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 10: You don't need anything that awards or keeps extra time

850
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 10: on the clock for the other team. Are you effective

851
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 10: with running the ball? Can you start to soft the

852
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 10: game away or can you not? Because you don't have

853
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 10: confidence in it, So guess what you're doing. You're dropping

854
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 10: back and passing in situations where you probably wouldn't otherwise.

855
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 10: Against the Lions, we were talking about the Cowboys, it

856
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 10: felt like McCarthy didn't have a lot of confidence in

857
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 10: the run game late in that particular game. So the offense,

858
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 10: to your point, also needs to help its defense because

859
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 10: when your defense is playing and bottling up these high

860
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 10: powered offenses for the majority of the game, you get

861
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 10: an interception, you get the ball back in Dak Prescott's hands.

862
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 10: You would like to get at least a field goal,

863
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 10: but definitely a touchdown. If they come away with nothing there,

864
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 10: it's a quick three and out. Defense is back onto

865
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 10: the field. So complimentary football help those guys out as well,

866
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 10: and then you will have fewer situations wherein you are

867
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 10: asking your tired defense who's played well fifty eight minutes

868
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 10: to go out there and now save the day when

869
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 10: it shouldn't have to necessarily be that.

870
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 11: Guys going to lose your mind when we get to

871
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 11: the end of the game and it's a four minute

872
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 11: offensive situation, you're trying to run it out and they

873
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 11: have to.

874
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 3: Keep throwing the ball because that's where we're going to Guys,

875
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 3: we know that.

876
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 2: Right, Well, here's the thing.

877
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 13: I'm gonna lose my mind regardless.

878
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 11: See the thing about it is the way for them

879
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,240
Speaker 11: to get first downs is throwing the football.

880
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's a way to throw the ball.

881
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 9: I think that's where most people that had a problem

882
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 9: with that deep pass there at the late part of

883
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 9: the game. Sure it was not that it was not

884
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 9: that they're throwing the ball. In my opinion, I'll speak

885
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 9: for myself. I wasn't upset at that they were throwing

886
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 9: the ball. My frustration was, you're taking a lower percentage pass.

887
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 2: Give me a high percentage pass.

888
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 9: That is a part of your running game, I guess,

889
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 9: is the best way to put it. I mean, this

890
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 9: offense is predicated on quick passing, So give me some

891
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 9: of those, give me a slant route, give me a

892
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 9: bubble screen.

893
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 2: I think there are other things.

894
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 9: You can do when you got a higher percentage chance

895
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 9: you're going to complete the pass, so that if nothing else,

896
00:39:58,400 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 9: even if you don't get in the yards out of it,

897
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 9: at least you keep the clock moving.

898
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 2: I think that's the point that.

899
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 9: Most people are, at least for myself, that I would

900
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 9: have a problem with. So no, I won't lose my

901
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 9: mind if they're throwing the ball, if they're throwing it

902
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 9: downfield and taking a lower percentage pass, I will lose

903
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 9: my mind.

904
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,399
Speaker 11: See that's where I'm at right now, because I kind

905
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 11: of feel like if to maybe kill a game, they're

906
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 11: gonna have to throw the ball and it plays it.

907
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 11: I mean, you're trying to get them to use their

908
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 11: timeouts and stuff, but that might be the only way

909
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 11: Dallas can kind of keep the clock. I mean, they

910
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 11: could keep it going running the ball, but it's gonna

911
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 11: be second and ten, it's gonna be third and eight,

912
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 11: it's gonna be yeah, it's gonna be fourth and seven.

913
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. You know, that's kind of where you're at I mean.

914
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 11: You're still yeah, and then now you're not yet.

915
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 3: Hold No, I mean that's what I'm saying. I think

916
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 3: that to me, you're right.

917
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 11: About the higher percentage passes though. You're absolutely right about

918
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 11: that though, and so to me. But I just wonder

919
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 11: because it's going to be about I think there's gonna

920
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 11: be times where in the playoffs s it's they're going

921
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 11: to have to keep the clock going, but it it's

922
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 11: probably not going to be running the football. Yeah, you know,

923
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 11: I mean their best chance of winning and their best

924
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 11: chance of maybe not exposing the defense to what Amber

925
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 11: was talking about being tired and holding up the way

926
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 11: they have the whole game is they're going to have

927
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 11: to go get first downs, and they can get first

928
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 11: downs throwing the football. They could do that for sure.

929
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,280
Speaker 11: I would incorporate more quarterback running myself, no doubt. Oh yes,

930
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 11: and maybe the jet sweeps, yeah, anything other things you

931
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 11: can do.

932
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm trying. I'm just trying.

933
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 11: Maybe I'm here at the time, maybe I haven't shown

934
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 11: you anything. Maybe I haven't shown you that quarterback pulling

935
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 11: the ball. But I'm going to do it in that

936
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 11: four minute drive, trust me.

937
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 5: And when you do it.

938
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 10: No penalties to negate that because we've seen that a

939
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 10: couple of times here recently with Dak Prescott gets a

940
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,760
Speaker 10: chain mover with his legs and there's laundry on the field.

941
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 5: So play clean football real quick.

942
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 9: Before we end the show, I did want to mention

947
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 3: That could not make it? When we were sitting there

00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 3: store in the radio.

952
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 5: None of us would expect.

953
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 11: Now It's like we're standing there like poor you know,

954
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 11: Ambar's getting hit with a ball, you know, and we're

955
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 11: like thinking, well, man, she's gonna own part of the

956
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 11: team now for injuries and stuff here.

957
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, no, it's great that it's great that it's

Speaker 3: Stuff like that. Well done.

962
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 2: You know one of the things I told my wife

963
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 2: last night.

964
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 9: We were talking about this because she said, man, they

965
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 9: got lucky with Aubrey, and I was like, you know,

966
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 9: you can look at it that way, but I actually look.

967
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 2: At it the other way, because how do you look

968
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:45,399
Speaker 2: at it?

969
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,760
Speaker 9: Well, if you look at how you're played during training camp,

970
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,479
Speaker 9: I know none of us thought this guy could play.

971
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 2: Let's because none of us. Not only that, not only that,

972
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 2: they got rid of the other guy that was there

973
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 2: with it and didn't bring anybody else. I know they

974
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,720
Speaker 2: doubled down on it that stuck.

975
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 9: No. So to me, that's not them being that's being

976
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 9: confident in what they scouted and saying this guy can play.

977
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 2: We feel he can play. And they were right.

978
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 3: They got it.

979
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 13: Weren't we all seeing the same thing.

980
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 11: Clearly right once they got rid of Once they got

981
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 11: rid of the other kickers, he started making kicks.

982
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 3: He didn't miss.

983
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 11: It's like it's like this guyana would miss, then he

984
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 11: would miss. Then this guy would make and he would

985
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 11: It was like they were going back and forth back and.

986
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 2: Who can miss most?

987
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 3: And it's funny. Once once they got rid of this

988
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 3: guy in. This guy never missed, never missed.

989
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, And I got to give them credit for that

990
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 9: because I think that was about their confidence in what

991
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 9: they'd scouted and believing this guy could be man if it's.

992
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 13: Good for them.

993
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 12: And at the same time, I'm like, let's don't put

994
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 12: me under that stress, Like I don't like.

995
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 13: Feeling stress. And guys live.

996
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 11: In the building And when bones Fossil goes upstairs, the

997
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 11: pull take your drink, sit down next to him and.

998
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 3: Ask him, really, how that all went down? I want

999
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 3: to know.

1000
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 11: I want to know how that all went down, because

1001
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 11: there's no way they we saw the same thing.

1002
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 3: How did they choose one less misser over the other missery,

1003
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.

1004
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 9: How did they decide they were going to not only

1005
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 9: level down on him by letting him noting somebody else in.

1006
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 2: That's where I'm like, they felt really confident about where

1007
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 2: they were company over a miller.

1008
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 3: Lite will tell you how that all went down.

1009
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:31,439
Speaker 13: Well, that's the crazy, crazy thing. Training camp. We get

1010
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 13: to see all of the practice like it's open. It's

1011
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 13: not here.

1012
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 3: We only got sometimes were involved in practice.

1013
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 13: Yeah, so that's crazy.

1014
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 12: Like during that time we were all It's not that

1015
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 12: we were crazy. We all saw the same thing. So

1016
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 12: but anyways, congratulations to him.

1017
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 3: That's all the surprise.

1018
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 10: And the only thing I will say is seven guys congratulations.

1019
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 10: Guys like Brandon Aubrey, you know, Covenance, but a couple

1020
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 10: couple of snobs that I'd be remiss if I didn't mention.

1021
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 10: I feel like de Marcus Lawrence is having another outstanding season.

1022
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 10: I feel like his resume, especially you talk about those

1023
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 10: critical stops. I mean, the Cowboys are probably plus two

1024
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 10: in the win column because of DeMarcus no question play.

1025
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 10: And then when you look at Tyler Smith, I feel like,

1026
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 10: although he has had an issue with some penalties here

1027
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 10: or there, for the most part, he's already proven that

1028
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 10: year two he's one of the best interior offensive linemen

1029
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 10: in the league. I don't see how you don't get

1030
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 10: Tyler in there as well.

1031
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 5: So outside of those.

1032
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 10: Two very very obvious snubs, for me, the other seven

1033
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 10: are more than deserving whatsoever. And keeping eye on the

1034
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 10: alternates because a couple of these guys might still sneak in.

1035
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 3: The goal is not to any of these guys plays,

1036
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 3: None of these guys. None of these guys involved with

1037
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 3: tuger War or Dodgeball or any of that.

1038
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 5: Stuff you just wanted for.

1039
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 10: You want it for these guys, for the fact that

1040
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 10: it's being honored, the honor for the work. And also

1041
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 10: you know, when it comes to contract negotiations.

1042
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:45,719
