All right, let's jump in. 96 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 2: We got a lot to talk about today. 97 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 5: We we're going to get into some injury dates, particularly 98 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 5: on Cooper Bebe. We'll talk about about where he is, 99 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 5: and then we're gonna talk a little bit about special teams. Yesterday, 100 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 5: Mani Ouarrier had his first session with the media following 101 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 5: the botched punt from last game and some interesting thoughts there. 102 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 5: And then we're gonna talk about the Carolina defense and 103 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 5: how it matches up with this Cowboys offense again. This unit, 104 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 5: as we talked about yesterday, the offense has some interesting things. 105 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 5: This unit, Oh my gosh, like that all the numbers 106 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 5: say that you should be able to do a lot 107 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 5: of good things against them. But we'll talk about that 108 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 5: and dive into some of the players that you should 109 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 5: be aware of. Let's start first, though, with Cooper Beby. 110 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 5: He mispracticed yesterday with a concussion. Obviously, with a concussion, 111 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 5: it's probably not likely in a short week. 112 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: That he plays, I would guess. 113 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 5: But I want to focus a little more on another 114 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 5: like an offshoot of that, which is brock Hoffman, who 115 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 5: has played, who played center and replacement and replacement of 116 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 5: BB this last game. My question for you guys is 117 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 5: do you think at this point, from what you've seen 118 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 5: this season, because he's had a pretty good amount of 119 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 5: playing time, you think he's a better center or a 120 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 5: better guard. 121 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 6: That's a tough one. I think. 122 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 9: I think it's kind of the same. I don't necessarily 123 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 9: see a major difference unless you do. 124 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 3: Brian. Now, you know what's funny was were you surprised 125 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 3: how quickly that competition ended? 126 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 2: Yes? 127 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 3: At training camp? 128 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:26,119 Speaker 2: Yes? 129 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 6: Did it end quick? 130 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 8: Though? 131 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 9: I felt like we were like two or three weeks 132 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 9: in a camp and we're like, Yo, Hoffman might win 133 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 9: this thing, And I just kind of flipped around. 134 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 3: I kind of felt like I felt like that there 135 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: was maybe like two weeks and then we were getting 136 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 3: into it and it was like, but I was I'm 137 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 3: not gonna lie to you. I was on board because 138 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 3: I wanted to see BB play center. Yeah, I misevaluated Hoffman. 139 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 3: I thought Hoffman for one or two games get you through. 140 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 3: I got to the point where I've started to ask 141 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 3: questions on these podcasts I'm on about do you feel 142 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 3: like I think I asked you guys this question. Does 143 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 3: does does Hoffman and and say Basses play make you 144 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 3: not want to think about a guard early in this draft? 145 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 3: You know? Yes, for example, you'll know the name Banks, 146 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 3: Texas tackle who a lot of people, and he won 147 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 3: the Lombardi Award last night. But you know, we've talked 148 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 3: about Banks being potentially a guard. I don't know, you 149 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 3: might think he's a tackle. But does it do you 150 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 3: feel like that if you're picking at eleven or twelve, 151 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 3: that you would take a guard there? Or does BB 152 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 3: or excuse me, has Hoffman made you feel like that 153 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 3: you're you don't need to draft that guy there at 154 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: that spot, that you could draft something else? But I 155 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 3: kind of felt like though maybe maybe I'm wrong about that, 156 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 3: but I kind of felt like the BB thing. I thought, 157 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, it was like Hoffman was out. 158 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 9: I just remember Bebe couldn't snap the ball for like 159 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 9: two and a half weeks, and it was like, Okay, 160 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 9: I think Hoffman might win this thing. 161 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 3: Okay, and we were talking about some of those problems. 162 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 9: And then all of a sudden Bebe learned how to 163 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 9: snap the ball and he was the center. Yeah, you know, 164 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 9: it happened very It did happen quick. 165 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 3: That's that's that. No, No, that's you. That's fair. 166 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 5: It could have been perception, but it did. It felt 167 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 5: like to me it was kind of a shell game 168 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 5: from the beginning, like oh, Hoffman's gonna he's the starter 169 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 5: entering camp. But it was just kind of like it 170 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 5: was always gonna be Bb. That's how it felt. And 171 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 5: maybe that's why I didn't. I didn't see what you 172 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 5: think of it from the way you you thought of it. 173 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 5: I just always thought, eventually Bbe's gonna be the guy. 174 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 3: I kind of feel like that if Zach Martin was 175 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 3: not playing right guard this year, say Zach Martin would 176 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 3: have retired last year, I think you would have seen 177 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 3: Haffman at center and BB at right guard. 178 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's where actually, that's where I was going 179 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 5: with the question is if if you think Hoffman is 180 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 5: as good a center as he is a guard, is 181 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 5: BB then a better guard than he is a center, 182 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 5: in which case maybe they flip if you if you 183 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 5: go into next year, or even as if BB comes 184 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 5: back this year. I don't know if they'd make that 185 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 5: change just like the year. But at some point do 186 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 5: you see that kind of flip where Bbe now moves 187 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 5: out to guard. 188 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 6: I'll tell you this. 189 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 9: I've started getting active in my in my draft group 190 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 9: chats again over the course of the last month, and 191 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 9: as we take you this long yeahs, as we kind 192 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 9: of just bs and everything, especially talking about last year's class, 193 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 9: there are a lot of people that are like, so, 194 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 9: why are the Cowboys playing Cooper b B at center? 195 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 9: He's like, yeah, it's working out, but why is he 196 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 9: not playing at guard? 197 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 3: Yes? 198 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 9: Hey, And so it always kind of makes me think, 199 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 9: in the back of my mind, maybe he would be 200 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 9: a better guard. 201 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 6: But we can only see what we've seen. 202 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 9: When I saw at Kansas State was a guy that 203 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 9: was absolutely nasty at guard, and I've seen a guy 204 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 9: at center who's been consistent for a rookie. He's been consistent. 205 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 9: Is he still learning the position? I think so absolutely, 206 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 9: But he's been consistent, So I don't know. I would 207 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 9: like to see both. 208 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 3: Why if Phoebe was healthy, why would I want to see? 209 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 3: I mean, and I'm saying this, I'm asking, okay, a doga. 210 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 3: I see that's Steel's played well enough. But there's a 211 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 3: side of me that kind of wants to see guide 212 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 3: and play right tackle me too, but also put BB 213 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 3: at right guard and put Howp in it center. 214 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 6: Just be cooking just to see, just for like three 215 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 6: on this. 216 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 3: Site, three games. But I but I'm not I'll tell 217 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 3: you what. I don't want to do anything with Steel 218 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 3: right now because I feel like Steele is playing pretty 219 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 3: well for you. I mean, he's it's it's there was 220 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 3: some times where you know him and Martin it was 221 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 3: a struggle over there. But I want to see. I 222 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 3: wonder if you would see if you did, because I 223 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 3: don't want to sit there and say, okay, now Steel, 224 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 3: go play left, go play left tackle and then we'll 225 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 3: see how this works. But there's I would not be 226 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 3: opposed to like seeing that combination with Hoffman at center, 227 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 3: b B at guard and guiding it right right tackle. 228 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 9: I think this team is one more loss away from 229 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 9: starting a toy with those kinds of things. And Steven 230 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 9: Jones said yesterday he was asked, Okay, hey, when do 231 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 9: you start thinking about personnel changes, you know, just to 232 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 9: see what you got. He's like, right now, we're playing 233 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 9: to win. When that changes, you'll notice it, and so 234 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 9: he left the door open for that. 235 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 2: Well, I guess that might. 236 00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 6: Be one loss away from that. 237 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Brian, I look at that. 238 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 5: And going back to your question about what you thought 239 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 5: about the no, but think about what you were talking 240 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 5: about a guard. 241 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: I don't think i've seen anything. 242 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 5: I have seen things that make me question whether I 243 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 5: would draft a guard early. I have not seen anything 244 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 5: that makes me say I wouldn't draft a tackle early. 245 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 5: So going back to let's say Banks, if you think 246 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 5: he's going to be a guard, I won't. 247 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 2: I don't necessarily think i'd take a first round pick 248 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 2: on him. 249 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 5: If I have a bona fide tackle that I feel 250 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 5: really good about and I'm up at eleven twelve and 251 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 5: that guy's there throwing the guard up there. 252 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 3: This is I don't know yeah, and I like, I 253 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 3: don't know how you feel about this. I kind of 254 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 3: feel like that maybe Banks would be this this tackle group. 255 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 3: When you watch him and when we talk about him, 256 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 3: it's not going to have the same tone that we 257 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 3: had last year about this group. I think there's a 258 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 3: lot more questions about this group playing. And I think 259 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 3: one of the best ones, the Simmons from Ohio State 260 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 3: who has a knee injury, I think he's going to 261 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 3: be I think he would have been one of the best. Well, 262 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 3: I think he'd have been maybe number one on this 263 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 3: on the in my opinion on this board for tackle. 264 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 3: But I think I'm I'm I don't know, because I'm 265 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 3: trying to feel like, did Hoffman do enough at right 266 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 3: guard to make me not want to take to draft? 267 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,599 Speaker 3: And you might think Banks is a tackle only I 268 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 3: don't know that. 269 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 6: No, No, I think you could play either. 270 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 8: Yeah. 271 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 6: I think that's so. 272 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 3: See that's what I'm saying. I mean, do you you 273 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 3: know there's a couple of positions now where I'm like, Okay, well, 274 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 3: maybe I've seen enough. I mean, running back might be 275 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 3: another one too, where you've seen enough with Rico Daddle 276 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 3: this you're like, Okay, maybe I don't have to eleven 277 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 3: or twelve maybef Genti's there the running back from Boising. 278 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 3: Maybe I don't have to do that because of Daddle 279 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 3: the way he's playing. 280 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 8: This conversation is making me feel so uneasy because the 281 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 8: fact that you guys are starting to get comfortable with 282 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 8: some of the guys on the offensive line, like, it 283 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 8: just makes me because of the trauma I carry. And 284 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 8: it's been so long, because if you think about it, 285 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 8: I mean from the time I started, which was right 286 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 8: before the beginning of the career of Dak where you 287 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 8: had a pretty solid line. Zach Martin he's like the 288 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 8: last piece of that line that was here initially. So 289 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 8: it's crazy and to me, and this is just the 290 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 8: course of the NFL and what happens, you know, players 291 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 8: retire or they leave or move on or whatever. But 292 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 8: to think now that you're gonna have to find that 293 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 8: confidence in five guys that you can fully trust and 294 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 8: move on from the well, what about injuries because recently, 295 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 8: in the last few years, it's always somebody dealing with 296 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 8: some kind of injury and going back to the draft 297 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 8: and having to rely, you know, rely on drafting, and 298 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 8: they've hit the nail or what is it, the nail 299 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 8: on the head when it comes to drafting offensive players 300 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 8: early on in the draft. But it's just hearing all 301 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 8: of this, I'm just like, man, this is pretty wild. 302 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 8: And also when you talk about the different combinations, it 303 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 8: makes me think, when would. 304 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 7: They actually do that? 305 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 8: Aside from these last few games where they could maybe 306 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 8: if they're after that percentage of chance that you have 307 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 8: left for the playoffs, after that's out of the question, 308 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 8: these different combinations, when do you expect the Cowboys to 309 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 8: actually see that? Because sometimes even at training can when 310 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 8: you talk about these different guys, I feel like, okay, 311 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 8: that's the right time to maybe test different things. But 312 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 8: you don't tend to see them shuffle people around that 313 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 8: much unless someone gets hurt and you just are forced to. 314 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 8: So I don't know, this interesting conversation when it comes 315 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 8: to all these different players. 316 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 3: Would you take an offense or defensive player if you're 317 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 3: picking in the top five offense, how about you, Derek? 318 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 2: Honestly, it depends on the play. I don't know. 319 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 5: If I could say, I'll tell you this it would 320 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 5: be a tackle, an offensive tackle, a defensive tackle or 321 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 5: defensive end. Probably, yeah, think or maybe I wouldn't take 322 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 5: a line back of that. One of those three is 323 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 5: probably what I would take. 324 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 6: My answers, yes, my answers, yes, Yeah, I would think. 325 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 9: I don't think they're in a position right now to 326 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 9: not take the best player available. 327 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 3: See, yeah, I kind of agree. It's kind of where 328 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 3: that's kind of where I hope this thing goes.

He's 381 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 9: like they are in a position where they are one 382 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 9: playmaker away to be able to make some things happen. 383 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 6: He's like, genty makes the most sense. 384 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's before that's before you think about the free 385 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 5: agency they may lose this year. Yeah, Like I think, 386 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 5: before you think that, you might be able to say 387 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 5: some of those areas you have something some players. 388 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 3: But yeah, I would be totally elated if they take 389 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 3: that kid.

But if I'm the general manager, 398 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 3: I'm thinking, well, I might only have two years with 399 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 3: this job. If you know any you know here, it's 400 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 3: a little bit different.

They are thirty second in rush defense. 478 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 5: They've allowed two hundred yards rushing four times this season. 479 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 5: Check out their last five games at Philadelphia two hundred 480 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 5: nine yards versus Tampa Bay two hundred thirty six yards, 481 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 5: versus Kansas City one hundred and sixty five yards, versus 482 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 5: New York Giants one hundred and sixty seven yards versus 483 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 5: New Orleans one hundred and ninety seven yards. Like, they 484 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 5: are not just giving up yards, They're giving up a 485 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 5: ton of rushing yards. You think you've seen bad run 486 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 5: defense at times around here this year, they are making 487 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 5: like they are saying, hold my beer, and they are really, really, 488 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 5: really giving up a lot in the running game. My 489 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 5: question is what makes the most vulnerable against the run. 490 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 9: It just feels like guys have open holes. I mean, 491 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 9: this defensive line is not impressive. I do like one 492 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 9: of their interior guys from a pass rush perspective, but 493 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 9: from a run defense perspective, I mean, these guys they 494 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 9: don't move bodies, they don't they don't fill these gaps. Uh, 495 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 9: there's just a lot of holes for these these running backs. 496 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 9: You see it with Kansas City. You know they weren't 497 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 9: even really fully healthy. But checko was just trying to 498 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 9: you know, find his footing again. And then with the 499 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 9: Giants as well. You know, they've had issues. I like 500 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 9: Tyrone Tracy, but they've had. 501 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 2: Issues the Giants. 502 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's it's it's bad. I think it starts up 503 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 9: front with this line. I think this line is really weak. 504 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 9: Even once you Davian Clown, he's been in the mix, 505 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 9: it hasn't been great. 506 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, they miss Frankie Luvu who's now playing at the Commanders. 507 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 3: And Frankie was pretty good at playing the run. We 508 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 3: saw that with their own eyes when he was you know, 509 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 3: with the with the Commanders earlier in the year. And uh, 510 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 3: they just they really have a problem with explosive plays 511 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 3: to explosive runs. You know. It's and they and they 512 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 3: face a ton of carries, as you mentioned, they give 513 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 3: up a ton of yards. They're not really good at 514 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 3: playing on your side of the line of scrimmage, you know, contacts, 515 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,199 Speaker 3: all that stuff is usually on their side of the 516 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 3: line of scrimmage. They we always like to talk about 517 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 3: the metrics of how many guys you're going to play 518 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 3: down and here they are getting killed in the run 519 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 3: game and they still play six men in the box 520 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 3: you know, they think they can handle that and it's 521 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 3: just not working for him. They play you know, they 522 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 3: play light that way, and it's funny when you start 523 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 3: to compare them with the Cowboys, you know, with the 524 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 3: you know, Dallas was so bad for so many weeks 525 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 3: and you know, trying to kind of dig out of 526 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 3: that hole. But it just it doesn't matter whether it's 527 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 3: run or pass. With this group, you know, they give up. 528 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 3: They give up almost six yards of play, you know, 529 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 3: and Dallas was Dallas is right there with him and 530 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 3: the number of you know, the number of opportunities that 531 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 3: teams have against him. But I kind of feel like 532 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 3: though that it is about the front. They just don't 533 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 3: have anything. They don't have any way to control the run, 534 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,959 Speaker 3: and teams know that and they just they load up 535 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 3: and they and they go at them with it. And 536 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 3: you kind of felt like that maybe that they would 537 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 3: be a little bit better. But I think missing the 538 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 3: linebacker Frankie Luvu, I think that really is as hurt 539 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 3: them with this. With their run defense. 540 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, when you look at their pass defense, there are 541 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 5: some numbers that are equally as bad. 542 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,959 Speaker 2: They're about twenty eighth in sacks. 543 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, thirty second in pressure percentage and in quarterback hits. Yeah, 544 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 5: it just doesn't seem like they generate much pressure. If 545 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 5: there is a guy though that you should be concerned about, 546 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 5: who would that guy be in the front from a 547 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 5: pass rush. 548 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 6: Stand from pass rush. Ashawn Robinson. 549 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, Robinson's played really love for him. Yeah, and I'll 550 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 3: tell you another thing though, they've actually if you look 551 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 3: at the metrics too, on Clowney. On Clowney has been 552 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 3: when he's been on the field and off the field, 553 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 3: the number of pressures that they've had. But Robinson has 554 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 3: played really really well for them. That was that was 555 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 3: a good get for them. You know, he's he's the 556 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 3: one guy. He's number ninety four for them playing on 557 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 3: the left end and and he's he's he's the one 558 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 3: guy you kind of have some familiarity because he was 559 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 3: with the Giants and so he was part of that 560 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 3: that line and really kind of was it wasn't had 561 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 3: flashes of play, but here he's a little bit I 562 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 3: think he's been a little bit more consistent with the 563 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 3: way he's played. 564 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 8: Well, McCarthy will be able to just do hither and 565 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 8: there's so little room for mistake on this one. Whether 566 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 8: he decides to throw some passing plays or run the ball, 567 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 8: you can go either way. 568 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 3: This just looking at and I know you watched the 569 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 3: secondary here too. You know, Joe Horn was a name 570 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 3: that was thrown around here a lot during that period 571 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 3: when they when they took Micah Parsons, and you know 572 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 3: that it was Sir Tan and it was Horn. And 573 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy had coached jac Horn's dad, Joe Horn, at 574 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 3: New Orleans, so it was kind of like they was 575 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 3: lining up that maybe the coaches were lining up for 576 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 3: Horn and the scouts were looking at Sir Tan, and 577 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 3: they've they've gone after Now you talk about the lack 578 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 3: of pass rush, opponents have had a lot of time 579 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 3: to throw the football against these guys too. They don't 580 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 3: get pressure at all or quick enough put it that way, 581 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 3: So that's a problem for their secondary. I will say 582 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 3: this about Horn. Mike Jackson's on one side and he 583 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 3: gets attacked a lot in this They got him in 584 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 3: a trade from Seattle. The teams go after him Horn, 585 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 3: They'll go after him. He's given up seven touchdowns this year, 586 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 3: but his completion percentage is pretty good against I mean 587 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 3: against he plays. It's not an easy throw against him, 588 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 3: He's going to battle you back there. So I kind 589 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 3: of feel like that Jackson is the guy to go after. 590 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 3: They play with a lot of cushion. Did you notice 591 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 3: that about this this team? How how they play? Like? 592 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 3: I was curious because of watching the tape and I'm going, God, 593 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 3: they're playing off so much off coverage. How they're doing this? 594 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 3: Went back and I checked they play on an average 595 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 3: of like seven point two yards of cushion on the outside. 596 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 3: And I'm sitting here thinking, no wonder, you're getting crushed on, 597 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 3: you know, No wonder, you can't stopped. You have no 598 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 3: pass rush and you're playing cushion, you know. 599 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 6: And I think maybe that's a reaction to no pass rush. 600 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 3: They they maybe they're trying to keep everything in front 601 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 3: of them. Maybe they're not trying to give up the 602 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 3: big plays. But I was surprised, especially with Horn, you know, 603 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 3: he's kind of a man man player, get up on you, 604 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 3: kind of disrupt you, kind of. But when you're telling 605 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 3: me they're playing set and that I think that was 606 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 3: I think that's third or fourth most in the league. 607 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 3: When you start to talk about that, so that that 608 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 3: you know, amber you're kind of making fun of Oh, 609 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 3: Mike can kind of do you know. Mike might look 610 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 3: at that and say, well, geez, we could throw. We 611 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 3: could throw on these guys who we could protect, and 612 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 3: then we could make and we could throw with that cushion. 613 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 3: We can run our we can run our inside game, 614 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 3: or we can run our slants. We can run our 615 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 3: you know, and if they're not going to press us, 616 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 3: then that that plays. That's good for the Cowboys, because 617 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 3: the Cowboys have struggled getting off the line of scrimmage. 618 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 5: So here's the millionaire question. You look at this defense 619 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 5: and statistically they're the worst in the league. 620 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, in a lot of ways. 621 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 5: How the heck are they playing all these teams so close? 622 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 5: They've had a lot of games that they've lost that 623 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 5: have been really close games to get some really good teams. 624 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 5: Why team's not running through them and putting up thirty 625 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 5: forty points every week? 626 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 2: If this defense is so statistically bad. 627 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 9: Ye know, how like sometimes offense is the best defense, 628 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 9: and I think this offense is just playing a lot better. Yeah, 629 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 9: maintaining time in possession a little bit more as the 630 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 9: games have gone by. That's at least what I noticed 631 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 9: from the Chiefs game, because I looked at that one specifically, 632 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 9: like how did they have a chance. It's crazy, but 633 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 9: I just see time of possession as a factor. 634 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 3: In that one. It's Hubbard, it's running the football. It's 635 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 3: that ability. Yeah, the quarterbacks not efing it up, throwing interceptions. 636 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 3: He's the last five games is three touchdowns interception before that, 637 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 3: I mean he thrown he thrown seven for the year, 638 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 3: six of them before the time he got betched. He's 639 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 3: protecting the football. They're running the ball with Chuba Hubbard. 640 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 3: Their offensive line, like we talked about yesterday, is not spectacular, 641 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 3: but they're getting it. They're and it does fishing. Yeah. 642 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 3: So I it's it is a mystery to me why 643 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 3: that teams, but they're on par They're on par with 644 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 3: the Cowboy and the Cowboys started so badly. They so badly. 645 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 3: I mean, just to give you an example of things, 646 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 3: like I was looking at this, we were talking about 647 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 3: blitz numbers and stuff. Dallas and Carolina have blitzed roughly 648 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 3: the same amount on defense splitz people. Dallas has got. 649 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 3: Dallas has got, like I think I wrote, I wrote 650 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 3: it down in my notes here, but I was just 651 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 3: because I was looking at Dallas has how many more 652 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 3: pressures than than they have eleven more sacks than what 653 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 3: Carolina has with the same amount of blitz pressure. Okay, yeah, Dallas. 654 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 3: Carolina splitzed one hundred and forty nine times. Dallas has blitzed. 655 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 3: Excuse me, Dallas splits one hundred and forty nine times 656 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 3: Caroline hundred and forty seven. Dallas has fifty two more 657 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 3: pressures off those blitzes and eleven more sacks, wow, than 658 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 3: what Carolina has. But that's so even. 659 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 2: When they're blistening it just they're getting no pressure. 660 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 3: And another thing is, you want to talk about problems 661 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 3: that teams have, they get down in the red zone. 662 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 3: And I always like to look at how many completions 663 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 3: do you get down there in the red zone? Just 664 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 3: a note I put here, They've had twenty nine attempts 665 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 3: down there against them in the red zone completion percentage 666 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 3: about fifty two percent. That's the fifth worst in the league. 667 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 3: Dallas is second in that category. They've given up there. 668 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 3: They're they're given a fifty nine percent completion down there. 669 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 3: We understand why Dallas has problem. Carolina's got the same 670 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 3: kind of problems. But you're right, teams have not taken 671 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 3: advantage of them at least the last five weeks. And 672 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 3: I think it's to your point, Nick, it's because the 673 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 3: quarterback's playing better. They run the football, and they find 674 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 3: a way to kind of hold things in games with 675 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 3: their offense and with their with the running game and 676 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 3: then with guys like Thielan and others to make some plays. 677 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 2: He seems good. 678 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 9: I think just this defense overall, kind of going back 679 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 9: to their run defense. Back to that subject. Nine times 680 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 9: out of ten, when a safety is leading your team 681 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 9: in tackles, that's not a good thing. 682 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. 683 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 9: I do like Xavier Woods. He leads the scene in tackles, 684 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 9: he leads him in interceptions. 685 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 2: Cowboys. 686 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 9: Yeah right, And I think I think there's a I 687 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 9: think that's an indictment on this rush defense. 688 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 6: But I do like Xavier Woods. I think I think 689 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 6: he's being asked to do a lot from that third level. 690 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we're gonna take our final break.

I 789 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 2: want him back and you can figure out. 790 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 5: We'll see if we can figure out how Dak can 791 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 5: get him the ball. Actually good pass, you'll see. 792 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. I really do appreciate your honesty 793 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 3: there because I yesterday I got into that same discussion 794 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 3: and actually was on with my guy Watch Lombardi last night. 795 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 3: We were talking about and I said, listen, you got 796 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 3: one receiver. I mean, just the Tolbert stuff and all that. 797 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 3: I I was, I was willing, I was hopeful. I 798 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 3: wanted to see, you know, And he says, well, his 799 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 3: numbers are same as Michael Gallup. Basically, I said, that's 800 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,760 Speaker 3: the problem. And he's out and he's gone. That's the problem. 801 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 3: And you know with with I think he you know, 802 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 3: to me, it's you needed more. You needed a lot 803 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 3: more over there, and you know Cooks got injured. That 804 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 3: that really hurts you. I still think Cooks could play. 805 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 3: But you're you're not wrong. It's it's Michael, it's it's 806 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 3: ceedee lamb and and go and try and revamp this thing. 807 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,240 Speaker 3: I don't disagree with you at all. 808 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 9: But talking about the I bring that up just because 809 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 9: the past, the past offense. I don't think is reliable 810 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 9: enough right now. And you look at Cooper Rush quarterback 811 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 9: throw either. Yeah, you look at Cooper Rush as well. 812 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 9: He didn't have the greatest game against against Cincinnati. So yeah, 813 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 9: I think if they can, if they can maintain the 814 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,760 Speaker 9: run when the time of possession battle in these games, 815 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,839 Speaker 9: they can, they can rattle off two or three wins here. 816 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 3: I do believe that. 817 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:57,360 Speaker 8: So you also have to remember, like, so it's not 818 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 8: like just because you're having a back up right now, 819 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 8: you've seen this a good chunk of the season. It 820 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 8: was with Dak Prescott as to quarterback, and they were 821 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 8: still struggling a whole lot. 822 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:10,959 Speaker 3: That's a good point. 823 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 5: So that being said, here's the next question of that, 824 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 5: where's your level of confidence with Koper Rush? I think 825 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 5: coming into this year relative to where it was then 826 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 5: versus where it is now seeing him play these games, 827 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 5: do you feel like you have the same level of confidence. 828 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 2: Do you think it's more, do you think it's less. 829 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 9: I think there were rightful questions whenever he came in 830 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 9: to start for Dak Prescott, just because we hadn't seen 831 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 9: him in two years. Yeah, and I think I look, 832 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,800 Speaker 9: I've looked back to camp and he had had some 833 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 9: issues at camp, and I wonder if there was a 834 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 9: conversation had with him at camp to start taking more chances, 835 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 9: just to see what that looked like. 836 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:45,479 Speaker 6: Because he pushed the ball down the field. 837 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 3: Did he look better? He looked better at camp. 838 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 9: Granted he made mistakes on the same end, but he 839 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 9: was pushing the ball down the field. You've seen him 840 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 9: try that a couple of more times this time around, 841 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,399 Speaker 9: as compared to twenty twenty two. But again, in twenty 842 00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 9: twenty two, he had a lot more working for him 843 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,919 Speaker 9: than against him, and he has a lot more working 844 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,320 Speaker 9: against him than for him now. So my confidence in 845 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 9: Cooper Rush are you asking for the future or. 846 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 6: For the same games. 847 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 5: I'm just saying in general, where you thought he was 848 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 5: at the beginning of the season, your level of confidence 849 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 5: there to where it is now. 850 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 12: Is more? 851 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 2: Is the same? Is it less? 852 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 9: I would say it's probably the same, because I've never 853 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 9: seen him as the guy that'll win you the game. 854 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 3: You know what, there's a weird side of me that 855 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,880 Speaker 3: thinks they're not going to play Trey Lance because they 856 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:26,919 Speaker 3: want to sign him cheap. 857 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,839 Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought about that. I've thought about that as well. 858 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 3: If you don't play Trey Lance. And he goes out 859 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 3: there and say he has success, say, I mean maybe 860 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 3: it's maybe you have four games he wins, maybe he's 861 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 3: two and two. But all of a sudden, you see 862 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 3: some sparks in the offense. You see the running game, 863 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 3: you see him running the ball, you see him kind 864 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,280 Speaker 3: of finding some receivers mart that. Yeah, all of a sudden, 865 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,480 Speaker 3: now it's like whoa Trey Lance? Might someone might want 866 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 3: to go and sign Trey Lance. There's a side of me, 867 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 3: a sneaky side that's feeling like that they're not going 868 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 3: to play Tray Lance just because they're gonna They're gonna see, 869 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 3: they're gonna see like, okay, hey listen, I hey, it 870 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,319 Speaker 3: didn't work out for you here as far as getting 871 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,839 Speaker 3: a bunch of snaps, Da da da da da, we'd 872 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 3: like to have you back. And then it turns into 873 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 3: Trey Lanceton becomes your backup quarterback and then they move 874 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 3: on from Cooper Rush. 875 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 6: I definitely could see that. 876 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 3: I think they're I think they're playing the game with 877 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 3: us right now. They don't want him to play because 878 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 3: they don't want his marketability. 879 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 14: To go up. 880 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,359 Speaker 6: That's the draft. A guy late day three or bring 881 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 6: back will career. 882 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, well, in this in today's world, I unless you're 883 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,880 Speaker 8: a quarterback answer the question. Yea, unless you're a quarterback 884 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 8: that is highly accurate. You have to be able to 885 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,839 Speaker 8: move out of the pocket like I'm not and I'm 886 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 8: not saying be a runner and then an extremely mobile quarterback. 887 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,760 Speaker 8: But you have to have that flexibility in your body 888 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 8: to be able to do that at times and not 889 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:57,759 Speaker 8: lose visions so bad. 890 00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 7: Like there are times that he just stands. 891 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,800 Speaker 8: There and I'm like, at least like have that natural 892 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 8: instinct of survival of like getting out and yeah, I 893 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 8: mean it's just a natural instinct of humans, you know. 894 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 7: You see then you're, oh, crap, let me try to run. 895 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:15,279 Speaker 4: But I get it. 896 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,359 Speaker 8: When it comes to fight or fly, I just stay still. 897 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 8: I'm just like I freeze. Uh So maybe he has 898 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 8: that freeze moment. No, it's absolutely terrible. Then that's why 899 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 8: I'm talking about it. 900 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 6: But not a quarterback exactly. 901 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 8: You do not want Yeah, but you don't want that 902 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 8: in your quarterback in today's world. And he you know, 903 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 8: I also have to remember too that who was calling 904 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 8: the place when he had that success. Again, different offense 905 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 8: Kellen Moore was the one still calling the place there 906 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 8: and I have a lot of issues with the play 907 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 8: color and remembering again how bad the offense still looked 908 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:03,839 Speaker 8: with Dak Prescott as your starter. So it's just it's 909 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 8: it's hard to evaluate at times because the offense has 910 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 8: just overall been so bad. But at the same time, 911 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,720 Speaker 8: there are plays that you see him make and throws 912 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 8: that he throws, and there's no there's no justification for 913 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 8: that either. 914 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,360 Speaker 5: All Right, I think we're gonna have to wait on 915 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 5: the Orior over Warria conversation. 916 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 2: Will save that until tomorrow.
