Welcome to the latest edition 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.040 of The Break. We are live from s WBC Morriage Studios. 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.480 At the start of day, we're talking Cowboys versus Commanders. 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.040 We will dive into the commander's defense versus the Cowboys offense. 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:56.840 Before we get there, though, there are lots of housekeeping 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.120 news and notes that we need to catch up on 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:03.240 Cowboys and moves on their roster. They have officially signed 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.360 four players and officially cut four players. I'm going to 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:07.840 roll this out for you, guys, and I want to 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.400 hear from you on what you think sounds interesting about 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:14.039 this or is this much ado about nothing? Lyell Collins 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:19.759 offensive lineman signed Damian Wilson, linebacker Sir Roderick Thompson running back, 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:23.960 big running back, wide receiver Race McMath. All four of 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:27.040 those players signed to the practice squad who has been 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:33.679 cut Artabius Bryant, Tyron, Billy Johnson, Willington Prevalon, and Adam Pankney. 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:38.520 Let's start first with the guys you. It'll start first 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.279 with the guys who have been signed to the practice squad. 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.360 We already talked quite a bit about Lyele Collins and 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.280 what we think he can or cannot do. 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.480 Damian Wilson, how much does he add for you? 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.800 Obviously just from the standpoint of having a body that's 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:56.440 actually a linebacker now signed as a linebacker. 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.720 Well, it's exactly like you said, because right now, with 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.600 the lease of Rashaun Evans, the only true linebacker you 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.400 have on the active roster is Demon Clark because you know, 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.960 Marquise Bell is a convert from safety and he's a 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.560 flex guy. And then you got Buddy Johnson, but he's 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:12.480 on the practice squad and not much you know of 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.800 a sample size there. So adding Damian Wilson, which is 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.920 not only a true linebacker and in physical form and 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.400 as far as football, like you, because that's that's his position, 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:23.440 but it's a familiar face. It's a guy who knows 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.520 the organization, who knows a lot of guys that are 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.200 still here in the building from his time now, you know, 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.239 difference being versus Lyle Collins, where you still Likeola is 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.919 still going to have Tyron Smith and Zach Martin and 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.160 those kind of familiar faces. This linebacker room looks wildly 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.600 different from the last time Damian Wilson took some snaps 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.040 in it, so he's also going to have to be 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:44.400 looked upon add some mentorship to that locker room young guys, 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:48.440 Damon Clark and those guys. I'm interested to see what 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:52.200 his Special Teams contributions are going to be, because even 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.560 if you look at his play last year, he still 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:56.720 was able to put up a lot of. 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:57.760 Special Teams reps. 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.560 I'm curious to see how Bones Fossil uses him in 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.720 that aspect as well. But obviously the Cowboys think that 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.280 there's some value there as well with him, and hopefully 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:06.960 that's going to add to what he can bring. 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:11.080 Yeah, you know, that's a veteran guy, You're absolutely right 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:15.720 about that, and one that you know has experience of 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.920 playing here now, not the experience of playing with this 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.959 coaching staff, so that's a little bit different for him. 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.400 But you know, it's this time of year. It's about 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:31.280 what players you have available. And Patrick talks about having 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.280 guys on practice squad available and stuff like that, and 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:38.480 I think that's important because coaches need to have confidence 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:40.880 that they can put guys out there and get the 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.240 job done. And obviously, you know, there's a great deal 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:48.520 of trust between Dan quinn and Will McLay and if 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.480 Will saying, hey, listen, we could do this with this guy. 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:55.320 I can help you with this guy, and Dan's like, okay, man, 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.440 just bring him in. We'll coach him up and we'll 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.640 see what happens. So you know, when you going through 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.280 those litany of names of guys that got released other 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.200 than Bryant, it was like that was a. 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.920 Practice squad player. That was a practice squad guy. 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.520 I know the guys that they signed better than some 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:14.480 of the names you name. 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:16.040 What I'm saying, think about that. 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.560 You know, if if you're going through the season and 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.760 you're and now you're having to put guys on the 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.960 bring guys up, elevate guys to play, you're you're you're 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:30.039 thinking like you're like, oh man, how does this guy. 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:30.320 Help. 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.680 I'm not familiar with his game. You know, you know 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.920 when you look at the guys that they've added, that's 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.280 now you're you're in that playoff mode. You've had an opportunity. 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.960 The guys they've let go, they've had an opportunity to 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.560 work with them. It doesn't you know, it didn't it 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:46.320 didn't pan out. 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:47.120 Like for Brian. 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:48.960 I know there are a lot of people that are 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:50.920 asking me, and I'm sure Patrick you were getting the 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:55.240 same same text, the same tweets, how are they gonna 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:55.960 get Brian up? 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:57.200 And when you get rid of. 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.599 Gallops and all that, And I'm like going, guys, he 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.919 ain't coming up unless there's an injury or and now 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:05.920 you know you've kind of seen it didn't work out. 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.200 You know, they kicked the tires on it. 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:08.840 It didn't go. 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.279 Maybe you bring it back another time if you have 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.080 a spot. But you know that's where you're at now. 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.760 It's about getting players that you have confidence in that 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.560 if you had to play them and bring them up 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.400 and then play them, that you feel like that they 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:23.440 could get the job. 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.599 Done on a one or two game basis if you 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:25.960 had to. 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.880 I think for me, I do really like the signing, 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:33.920 But I think it's mainly because of the familiarity that 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:38.279 we know these guys, we've seen them play. They're not 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.160 the best of the best, but they can go out 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.440 there and still play for you and help you out 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:48.839 in ways that right now you don't have any other choice. 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.279 But so I think it's more of that of just 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:58.240 knowing and also thinking of like, Okay, they're fresh. But 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.280 at the same time that can be a bad thing too, 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:03.359 because sometimes it takes you a while to get into 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:07.039 actual play form and being out there on the field, 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.320 because one thing is practicing saying in shape, and we 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.960 know very well another thing is being out there during 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.200 the game. But it's good to have them. I think 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.480 Damian Wilson, from what I remember, he wasn't terrible. He 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.840 was okay, like a solid guy to have there. He 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:27.240 wasn't the best. He sometimes would have trouble on the field, 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:31.159 but it wasn't anything that from what I remember that 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.440 I can think of, Man, we need to get rid 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.320 of this guy, get him out of here, cut him. 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:36.240 It wasn't like that. 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.919 No, his time with the Cowboys a pretty solid, especially 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.360 in rotation with like Anthony Hitchens and Shown Lee when 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.039 he was healthy, Damian Wilson he stepped in rotationally and 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.720 was he perfect, No, but he was definitely one of 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.880 the better rotational guys at the time. And obviously we're 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:52.200 talking years removed, because that's twenty eighteen last time he 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.520 was here. Now he's back five years later. But even 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.080 if you look at what he did with Carolina five starts, 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.720 he was available all seventeen games. He was available all 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.920 seven team games in twenty twenty one for the Jacksonville Jaguars. 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:03.679 So he's durable. 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.280 He's continued to be durable, and like I said, he's 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.640 bringing added value because forty five percent of the special 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:13.000 team snaps for the Panthers had Damian Wilson involved. So 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.840 now he's if you're Will McLay, you're talking to dan Quinn, 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.440 like like Brian said, you're saying, okay, well, dan Quinn, 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:20.200 trust me on this. He can give you some value 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.040 on defense. And then you look over at bones Fosts 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.040 when you say, hey, you want another special teams guy, 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.240 prove a veteran who can give you some snaps as well. 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.840 So hopefully kind of the win win there. I wouldn't 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.920 I wouldn't say it's any kind of a blockbuster situation, right, 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.360 so you know, great, it's a familiar face and he 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.720 can come in an impact. He's a quality addition to 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.080 the practice squad insurance guy if you need him. 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.560 But let's not make it any smaller or bigger than what. 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.240 We expect them to see them, any of them this 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:48.040 weekend or that's way too fast. 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:49.040 I think that's too soon. 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:50.920 I would assume that's way too soon. 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.480 But if I'll put it like this, if it were 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:55.760 a game, let's say this game gets away from you, 0:07:56.360 --> 0:08:00.680 or this game you were in your leading big if 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.000 any of them are even up, like, that's also the thing, 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.360 like do they get call them up? But you may 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.080 be looking for bodies to put in if you get 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.920 into a situation where the game is out of hand 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.880 one way or the other, and you know, you're just like, okay, 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:14.840 let's we're looking forward to the playoff at this point, 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.560 and we get our starters out of there, maybe we'll 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.920 get some burn. But I don't even expect any of 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:23.520 them to necessarily be up, unless, unless, of course, there 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.720 is flare up, say with with knock on Wood with 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.400 Tyrann to where you're like, hey, we probably just ought 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.000 to have a backup available to us. 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:33.280 But other than that, I don't think. 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:35.120 I don't think I necessarily expect them to be up. 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.040 I do have a question for you guys about Sir 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.520 Roger Thompson. One thing that stood out to me. He's 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:44.120 a bigger guy, six foot two fifteen. Knowing that they've 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:47.360 been looking for a solution for short yardage for you know, 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.760 power type situations, how does that play in do you 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.800 think that maybe he's a guy that they look at 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:56.040 for that type of role? And number two on that 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.600 same line, do you think that this ends any speculation 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:00.959 about Dalvin Cooks since they have now signed a running 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:01.240 back to that. 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.520 He is on waivers today, by the way, so yeah, 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:05.680 you can put a claim in for him today, let's 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.520 talk about it. Yeah, but again yeah, yeah, I didn't 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:09.200 want to get money. 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.480 I'm usually the guy to get everybody in trouble here. 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.240 So now yeah, that's uh, he is on waivers three 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:19.360 o'clock today. Uh, you will know whether if you put 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.520 a claim in for him or not, whether you get 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:22.800 him awarded to you. 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:24.319 Uh. 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.160 The thing, you know, it's it's interesting to me just 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.280 for the fact that they they're they are hunting. They 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.600 are hunting of backs obviously here, uh and you know 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:37.360 when they But what was strange was the fooko move 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:42.120 for for Vaughan. You know, to me that one maybe 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.640 you hold if you're interested in bringing it back on, 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:48.200 that you would hold and say, Okay, we need this 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:52.080 roster move, we need this, we need that spot in 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:53.600 order to get this guy on. 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:55.920 And you know I heard it would Douce. 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.520 It's an ankle injury that he's dealing with right now, 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:00.320 so that's why they were able to do what they 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:00.840 were able. 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:01.360 To do with him. 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.880 But it just seemed like it was like they're they're 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.520 they're having a hard time getting guys on the roster 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.000 right now because the to their credit, I mean, I 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.080 didn't want to say it. We all know why they're 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.880 having trouble, you know, because they're fortunately things are going 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.599 the right way with their you know what that I 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:22.760 don't like to talk about because every time I talk 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.160 about it seems something bad app Yeah, so I don't 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.280 want to talk about it. But anyway, that's that's where 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.280 they're at. I mean, their team is is kind of 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.440 rolling along right now and they don't want to make 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.680 any moves that that might upset the way that those 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:38.080 things are going. So yeah, this this, uh, but having 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:39.679 on a bat, I think it's once again, it's just 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.319 kind of a kicking the tire situation. I don't think 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.960 I would read into it anymore than that, Like, you know, 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:45.960 he is a bigger guy. 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.520 Let's see what he's got and and uh, if it 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:49.120 you know, if. 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.480 It works out that it's part of an elevation. I 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.560 still think they're going to look at Hunter Lipkey. I 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.360 know that I know that what happened the fumble was 0:10:56.400 --> 0:11:00.400 a bad situation at that time, but man, he is though. 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.640 When you do hand him the ball, he can convert, 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:04.839 you know, and that and that fumble was just a 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.400 you know, maybe hopefully that's the only thing that ever 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.040 happens bad to him carrying the football for the Dallas Cowboys. 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.760 I think when you look at Thompson and and I 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:16.040 love I love the human aspect of these guys. And 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.680 I say that to the to the Thompson aspect of 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:20.880 this is a guy. This is an irving Texas kid. 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.960 He's a former Red Raider with Texas Tech and he's 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.600 coming home, so I mean he'll have a lot of 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.360 motivation because this is literally his hometown team and he. 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:29.560 Wants to prove Vali Ranchkid. 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.920 Yeah, Vali Ranch Kid. Absolutely, Ranchview went to the same 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:35.320 high school that my son's graduated, Stomping Grounds shouts out to. 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.880 Ranchfreet High School with the Wolves. 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.439 But yeah, so I think it's it's a situation where Thompson, 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.000 he is kind of a bigger guy. He can give 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.920 you that he had some really good numbers with Texas Tech, 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.400 both from the rushing aspect as far as yard is touchdowns, 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.760 but also he can give you some receiving yards out 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.199 of the backfield as well, so just overall yards from scrimmage, 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.200 he can give that to you. To answer your question, 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.400 does it preclude them from, you know, possibly looking in 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.080 the Dalvin could I'm told no, it does not. The 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.560 angle the Cowboys are taking based on the conversations I 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:08.120 had yesterday, is that they aren't necessarily interested in claiming 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.640 his contract. So even though it was reworked so that 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.439 he could get the mutual release mutually agreed upon release 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.160 from the Jets, Cowboys aren't interested in the contract, but 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.360 they are with the players. So if he does clear waivers. 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.520 This is not a waiverclaim type situation. 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.160 Correct, it's not a waiverclaim type situation for the Cowboys. 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.840 It's more so if he claims waivers, they'll likely be 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:28.719 on the phone to try to see what his numbers are. 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:32.520 So, but you don't know how that goes. So what 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:33.040 do you do? 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.960 You go and get somebody like Sir Roderick Thompson and say, 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:37.840 come on, let's kick those tires and let's see what's 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:38.440 going on there. 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:40.440 All right, let's go and. 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:41.160 Take our first break. 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.040 When we come back, we'll dive into this Washington defense, 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.160 talk about some of the things that stand out maybe 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:48.959 from the first game, as well as some of the 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.679 things that have happened to their team and some of 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.720 the guys that we would be aware of that we 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.120 need to be aware of heading into this weekend's matchup. 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:56.800 We'll be back Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. 0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:59.560 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.560 cheats s.

At the start, the segment brought 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.520 to you by blockchain dot Com. All right, let's talk 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.840 about this Washington defense. The thing that pops out is 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:39.640 immediately when you start looking at the numbers around this team, 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.920 they are dead last points allowed. 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.240 They are also dead last in yards allowed. 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.760 Every That is the two statistical measures you probably look 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:52.040 at to say where teams rank, and offense and defense 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:53.280 they're dead last. 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.000 So yeah, that being. 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.680 Said, Brian, what do they do well? What do they 0:15:58.680 --> 0:15:59.080 do well? 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.680 And where are they most vulnerable? Obviously vulnerable in a 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:02.840 lot of spots where they most. 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.440 Of the secondaries, Where the secondary where they're they're having 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.600 problems right now. Uh, but it's gonna start up front 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:10.160 with those two defensive tackles. 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:11.720 They actually played the forty nine Ers. 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:13.600 Pretty well in this football game, and then it kind 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.560 of got away from got away from them. But the 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.680 Cowboys did a really nice job against Aron Payne and 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.320 Jonathan Allen the last time that they played. And so 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:27.840 the question you have now is what's the situation with 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:28.800 Tyler Smith? 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.600 You know? And uh t J. 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:33.920 Bass has done a really fine job when he's been 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.560 asked to play. This is a different animal though, that 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.200 he's having to deal with with Payne and Allan inside. 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:43.400 So we'll see what happens. I was told that at 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:45.960 the Tyler Smith's situation is actually. 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.600 Gonna carry over to Sunday. They're gonna they're gonna get there. 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:50.800 They're gonna try and figure it out. And if he 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:52.840 can go, he can go. If you can't go, then 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.800 you're gonna get TJ. Bass And they're playing. So but 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.600 it's gonna start up front with the commanders at those 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:02.880 two spots. It's hard to move these guys one on one, 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.960 it really really is. Opponents have had success on them 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:11.080 attacking on the outside, not running the ball inside, but 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.720 running the ball to the outside. And so I guess 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:15.480 say a little my Odyssey group by the way, all 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.439 my friends, there's all my guys I work with right 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:19.120 there in Odyssey. 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:22.240 So Hi, guys, Great to see you guys. But yeah, 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:22.679 so the. 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.240 Thing with people have had success running the ball on 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:30.640 the edges and staying away from running the middle. If 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:32.239 you look at the forty nine er game, and I 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.679 was curious about this, Allen was doubled thirteen times by 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.159 the forty nine ers and Payne was doubled eight times. 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.840 So they're not going to let teams are not going 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.800 to let those guys control the game. They have a 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.639 weakness at linebacker. Dallas did a great job in the 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:50.440 game going back and watching and taking advantage of this 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:54.480 commander linebacker group. Cody Barton I think is the best 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:56.600 player of the group, but there were a couple of 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.240 times where he was matched up on Jake Ferguson. Ferguson 0:17:59.280 --> 0:17:59.960
