The only one came in here with 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.560 chek and nobody said nothing about no chinking, no armor. 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.000 That was you from the beginning. Whoa you didn't say 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.160 that like you said that. Would you like to bet 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.480 you're the one open you opened the show with chinking arm. 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.240 Would you like to bet I don't want to be 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.000 all right because I ain't never said man, I actually 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.320 came here yes and say yesterday and said that didn't 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.120 have nothing to do with us. I ain't no chinking 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.480 the Armorer. They've been playing that way all year. So 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.640 I'm not gonna because you know, because you know, I'm 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.919 gonna because you know, I'm gonna rewind to take because 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:41.760 that's what he loves to do. 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:42.320 Forensic. 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:47.120 We're gonna don't go back and don't deal with him 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.079 on that level. So I didn't say check say that now. 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:50.880 I didn't say it. 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:52.800 Anyway. 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.400 I said tomorrow man, I see tomorrow man, Man, what 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:56.839 do you think about it? I mean, we've been talking 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.720 about philing this Philly. This is how we played Philly. 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.720 Obviously Sunday night, everybody's anticipating this matchup. 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.639 But you was tuned in at three fifteen to that game. 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:06.440 So I want to know. 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:07.960 We didn't get a chance to talk to you yesterday, 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:09.360 but tell us, man, what did you think about it? 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:10.840 So when I looked at that game, you know, at 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:12.520 first I was going into it. I'm like, it's about 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.080 to be a matchup. This is about to be it. 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.320 Like you know, you got two powerhouses in the NFC, 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.959 possibly the two best in the National Football League. Going 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.400 at it primetime foot of all that good stuff. In 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.240 the first half it it kind of lived up to 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.919 a fourteen six. I feel like Philadelphia squandered a couple, 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.359 you know, red zone situations. They squandered them early on, 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:31.400 and I kind of gave you know, the forty nine 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.000 ers that wont met them to go. But when you 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:34.880 look at them as a whole, man, I just don't 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.080 see any we talk about chinks, I don't see anything. 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:38.240 When you come to the forty. 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.080 Nine ers, that's gonna be a bad matchup for anybody 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.400 in the league. Maybe outside of Baltimore, that's gonna be 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.480 a bad matchup. So when you look at the forty 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:46.920 nine ers, I think, at the end of the day, 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.480 it's gonna have to go through San Francisco to get 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:49.760 where you. 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:50.080 Want to go. 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:51.280 And we're talking about the s Bob. 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:52.640 If you want to get to where you need to go, 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.120 it's gonna have to go through San Francisco. Because you 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.440 look at it, not only does the coaching off point, 0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.440 you saw how they was able to confuse that Philly 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.920 definey defense. They knew what was going out there. Edges 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.640 weren't being said. Guys were all over the place, and 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:05.800 I think they had a lot to do with the 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.560 play design and all that good stuff. Brock Purty, that 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.280 man's starting to come along. Man, Like early on it 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:13.680 was kind of like, man, you know he got all 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.359 these all pros. He ain't he's not like that. The 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.880 man's making throws in the biggest of the games, you know, 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.240 Dallas forty two to ten. I believe, Philly forty two nineteen. 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.200 I mean, the man's making big plays. So overall, forty 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.520 nine ers is where they were. I think everything's gonna 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.280 have to go through. But Philadelphia, man, that that defense, 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:33.240 that defense looked extremely suspect, especially on the back end. 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.880 And it wasn't just a player here, a player there. 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.679 I seen big Place Slagh getting turned around. I seen 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.880 brad Berry on the other side getting beat the safeties, 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.120 which I bragged about early on byed those guys. They 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.880 they were Phillip hole, they were missing old. There was 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.000 a lot of mistackles in that game. And you know 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.400 Shaqland being there, that's that got to be an upgrade 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.360 in my opinion, eventually. But when you look at it, man, 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.640 that defense is extremely gettable, and the offense for Philadelphia 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.800 has to play lights out in my opinion, to match 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.680 up with Cowboys or the forty nine ers. 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.200 You know, and you sound just like I sounded yesterday, 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.960 and they would shooting me down yesterday. I say, man, 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.960 San Francisco is different when they're comparing what they can 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:19.440 do to you on offense, their offensive schemes, how they 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.960 play with your eyes, get you out of your gap, 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.280 don't They don't allow you to sit there in because like 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.520 it is, it is a totally different challenge than anything 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.120 else you gonna see from anybody else around the league. 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.159 And when they're healthy, I have agreed, they are the 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:41.479 best team in the league. You are in healthforcements. This 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.640 is exactly what I said yesterday. And it was like, Nah, 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:45.040 that showed us that you can I said that we 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:46.320 just played phillyd Ago. 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.680 It didn't show us. We didn't look like that. Lamb 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:49.880 almost had. 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.680 While he's while he's rewinding the tape, lit me just 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.599 say this tomorrow. Tomorrow, would you rewind the tape. My 0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:00.040 whole thing was in the matchups that I've seen the 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:04.279 Philadelphia Eagles in, they have something in the first half 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.520 they've had to They've gone into half down by seventy 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.520 ten three, whatever, it is teams have let them off 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.159 the hook. My thing was the forty nine ers was 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:14.800 the one team that I knew that could come in 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:18.000 if healthy, and not let them off the hook. And 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.239 we saw that. That's my only point that a team 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.400 is gonna play them for four quarters, like Philly is 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.240 gonna play you for four quarters. 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.359 Jalen Hurts has that Nick Sabing trait. 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.800 Whatever it is they gonna play you for, it's gonna 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.600 be a fourth quarter game. Now, the forty nineers was 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.720 the only team that I saw come in there and say, 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:45.040 I right, Poundtown, this is what we did. You know, 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:53.480 we got Will Smith, he got nothing about no come 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.480 on people, yeah, come on, But you saw what it was. 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.960 I mean that second quarter, that third quarter, that fourth quarter, 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.880 they were unrelenting on defense and on offense. Now, when 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.279 I'm saying they look gettable, it's because a team that 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:07.960 won't lit up on them, and that's. 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:09.240 The way the Dallas is gonna beat them. 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.280 I'm listening because I want you to go back and 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:13.960 I want you to go through the stats that you said, 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:15.080 because he was talking about you. 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.200 See what CMC did to him, and it was betting 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:17.800 all these yards. 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.440 Yeah, yeah, we got that, I said, Tony Paula averaging 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:22.840 not as much to see MC this year. 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:23.200 Okay. 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.000 We talked about the last time we played Philly had 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.600 like fifty three yards three catches for thirteen yards, and 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.200 then Heck started ratling on off stats and said, okay, 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.119 I mean if you can go ahead and get ninety 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.600 seven rushing at forty catching, and I said, when has 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:38.880 he done that? A so so like, Okay, it doesn't 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.200 make me feel better about Tony Paula being able to 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.800 do that just because of what I saw San Francisco do, 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.240 because I know what San Francisco is. 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.480 Can we beat Philly? Absolutely? 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.440 We left them off the hook last time we played them, 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.280 But I don't always consider that letting them up the hook. 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:55.720 They found a way to make the players at the 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.640 time when we weren't able to make them. San Francisco 0:07:57.800 --> 0:07:59.720 just one of them teams where man, when they get 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:04.040 you down, they're gonna keep you down. Shanahan is the 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.640 wizard of the West Coast System. Well we agree on that, yes, okay? 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.080 Will you agree that Mike McCarthy runs some variation of 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:12.960 what is considered a West Coast system. 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:14.960 Getting the ball out fast to moving your number one 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:16.400 option around you, I would say, so. 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.000 I agree. I know you're going with this, but you 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.840 finish No, it's a variation on in all. 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:25.320 I'm saying, Texas Coast, Texas Coast, whatever you want to 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:29.400 call it. But the truth is is in this offense, 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.160 what I believe is missing and what you don't see 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:37.160 is that incremental production from Tony Pollard in the running 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.040 game which would make everything else run smooth. Now, I'm 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:45.160 saying this, in any especially in most offenses, short passing 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.040 is just an extension of the running game. 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.440 Would you agree with that? Agree? Okay? 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:58.120 So San Antonio, I do a lot, got it? 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:01.000 Okay? San Francisco. 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.880 San Francisco's extension of their running game is so short 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.440 passing game with Deebo Samuel's okay. And I think that 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.480 the Cowboys do the same thing. And I'm relating this 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.560 to Brandon Cooks as well, because Brandon Cooks can be 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:14.840 that extension of the running game that you're not getting 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.679 from Tony Pollard in those short passes. We hadn't been 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.840 able to hit him. Well lately we've been able to 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:23.880 do it. But expose defenses with that style of an offense, 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:26.800 and all I'm saying, is that for Tony Pollard. To me, 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.960 I just need a twenty percent boost in his production 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.440 to be sure that we can go into this game 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:34.080 and be Philly. 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:35.079 No, no, no doubt about it. 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:36.760 I think if you if you're getting a little bit 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:38.839 more out of Tony Poller, it'll make things easier for Dak. 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.040 We talk about play action and being able to manipulate 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.280 the defense, but I will say this man that the 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:48.000 system is one thing, But Deebo Samuel, he's a different dude. 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:49.480 I mean, you could throw a bubble screen to him 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.400 and he could take it, you know, sixty five yards. 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:52.200 On any given down. 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:54.920 Christian McCaffrey might be the best running back in the 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.880 national football one of one. So when you talk about, 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.520 you know, being able to expose defense, it's also the 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:03.959 guys in the in that system that's able to expose that. 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.679 I mean, I don't see another receiver like like Deebo Samuel, 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.079 like Ceede Lambs is a beast when it comes to 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:08.920 route running catching. 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.000 But when you talk about, you know, being a running 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:11.559 back after you. 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.719 Got that ball in your hands, only there's only so 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.960 many cats like a Deebo Samuel. So to me, I 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.320 think the system that the Cowboys got going now where 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.079 it's you know, they're getting the ball out of Dak's 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.320 hands quick. He's also hitting some of those Sea routes. 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.320 Fergie's coming alive a little bit out there as well, 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.480 and Cooks. I think that offense is enough, just Mike McCarthy, 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.640 Texas Coast, whatever you want to call it, is enough 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.200 to move the ball on Philly and give your team 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.000 an opportunity to win. I mean, we saw a couple 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.600 of weeks ago Dak was outstanding against Philly in Philadelphia, 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:39.240 and we all know this team is a different team 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.120 on the road. But when you talk about at home, 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:42.760 I think that's when you get the best of the best. 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:44.880 And this offense that they got right now, I think 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.160 it's it's perfectly made and it will be able to 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:48.040 move the ball against Philly. 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.240 Yeah, And I think and I agree with that because 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.560 I think our offense is much different than than San Francisco's, Like, 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.679 we don't San Francisco is able to do what they 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.240 do because how well they're able to run the ball 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.640 right right. I don't think we have that the same 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.760 type of running game, but we do have Dak Prescott 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.360 and the way that Dak Prescott has played since the 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.040 bye week has been a way that I think that 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.600 if he can sustain that and continue protecting the ball 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:12.880 and getting the ball into his playmaker's hands and also 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.040 continue extending plays using his legs, I think that is 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.280 our recipe for beating any team out there in the league. 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.000 I just don't think we're gonna go out there and 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.560 look any anyway like San Francs. Like I said, the 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:26.280 players make a difference and Debo is a difference maker, 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:27.840 but that offense runs through. 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.480 Christian McCaffrey, like he is the guy. 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.800 Being able to catch out of the backfield have caused 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.320 those matchups. He can also block in past like he 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.720 can do all of it. And I think as long 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.400 as you have a guy like that on your squad, 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:40.520 then you're good. 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.040 Our guy like that is Dak Prescott. 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.600 So it's staying on this side of the ball, I mean, 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.719 from our offense to their defense. And then you talk 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.240 about the weapons and there's no comparison, and nobody's trying 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:53.680 to call Brandon. 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:57.840 Cooks Debo tp CMC not doing that. 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.280 What I'm saying is with the weapons that you have, 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:04.760 you have an opportunity against this Philly defense, which to me, 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.920 like you said, that secondary looks guttible, all right, but 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.480 what isn't gettable is that front. 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.240 That front line. They are still stout up front. 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.280 Now you have seen and my question to y'all, is 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.040 is related to the offensive line and raising up to 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:24.600 the challenge of Philadelphia's defensive front because the last time 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.960 we saw them, we had a big time problem with 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:27.520 our protection. 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:30.800 Yeah, listen, it's still it's still a little scary. I think. 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.000 I think the positives that you can take out of 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:37.280 our offensive line this time around is I think Tyron Smith, 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.320 now with this new practice schedule, is a lot healthier 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.360 and he's playing He's able to play a lot better 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.280 because I think that that weight is off his shoulder, right. 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.200 I think he feels a lot more comfortable in doing 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.680 everything that he needs to do because he not worried 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.280 about being injured. And he's also healthy as he's been 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.480 in a while. All right, Tyler Smith continuing to get better. 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:59.440 I still like the hottish I watched the Philadelphia defensive 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:03.240 line and they didn't look anything unstoppable when they played 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.560 against San Francisco, So I'm still comfortable there I think 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.600 the issue that we had was a Terren Steel issue 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:11.160 last time. And I'm hoping that, like Terren Steel has 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.760 done in the past when he's had a bad outing, 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.160 had a bad season, that he went back into the 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.360 lab no pun intended, and he worked with the offensive 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:20.960 line coach and they said, hey, man, this is what 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:22.480 you got to do to get better. Right, you got 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.160 ten days. Right, you played on Thursday, we play on Sunday. 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:26.600 You got ten days. We need to figure out how 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.160 to get you better. So we don't have that same 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.280 type of issue when we go into the game. And 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:33.319 I believe that, though it may not be one hundred 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.960 percent better, he's going to be more stout than he 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.800 was in the previous So you believe I do, Karen 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.280 still in this matchup with Sweat, I believe he will 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.439 be better than he was last time. 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:45.880 And I believe they'll do a better job coaching, Like 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.439 I don't think if they Sweats starting to go crazy, Like, 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:50.360 I don't think they're just gonna leave he still on 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.200 the island like they did in the previous game. And 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.079 we all saw that last drive. I mean, the man 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.440 was getting beat him for whatever reason. There was no 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.439 chipping of the running back, chipping of the tight end. 0:13:58.480 --> 0:13:59.920 They kind of left him out there on the island, 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.520 which we saw was devastating overall. So I feel like, 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.400 not only will t still you know, I don't know, 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.040 be in the right space, whatever the case may be, 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:08.800 and he'll he'll perform better, but I believe that they 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:10.280 won't leave him on an island as well. I think 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.400 McCarthy has done a great job coaching so far, especially offensively, 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.320 and I don't think he'll let one guy, you know, 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:16.240 ruin the entire thing. 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:17.520 I think they're going to help him out a lot 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.480 on that edge. So overall I'm in it. 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:21.920 I went and deviate too far from the game plan 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:24.880 that they had last time. But I do think those 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:26.840 two guys in the middle for Philadelphia, you're talking about 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.160 Jordan Davis and who's the young guy from from the 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.240 rookie from Alabama, Jalen Carter. 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.240 I do believe that they'll create a little bit of 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:33.800 problem in there. 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.360 Like Beyonna, he's playing well, but those two guys, man, 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.680 they create a lot of early penetration. So I can 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:40.640 see us getting you know, Dak prescoing on the edge 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.440 using his legs or getting Tony Pollard out on the 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.760 edge in that regard. But I like the game plan 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:46.520 they did last time, and be honest with you, I mean, 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.200 and they put up a lot of points. But what's 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:52.400 happening minus the fact that Brandon Cooks was not looked 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:56.160 at it? Well yeah, okay, yeah, because as much as 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.160 you getting helped by bringing the tight end in or 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.000 or somebody to chip and all that stuff like, you're 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.240 able to do that if you have more than one 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.240 person who was going off in the game. All right, 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.320 If Ceedee Lamb and Brandon Cooks are options out there 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.120 for you to say, hey man, both these dudes are 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.000 eating and we can throw about any one of these 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.280 guys at any time, right, and defense has to respect that. 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.880 Then you have an opportunity to move that tight end 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:21.600 in and then chip because you don't necessarily have to 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.680 have him in the route because you got two guys 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.120 out there, possibly three guys out there that's cooking, and 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.480 you can afford to say, hey man, you stay here, 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:30.720 make sure that he has some help before you release 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:34.240 out into your route. So throw, throw, throw Brandon Cooks 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.280 to get him involved. 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.320 Wwever you gotta do it out of the backfield screen 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:40.400 pass whatever it is. 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.680 He ain't debo, But I'm telling you speed wins speed 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:45.200 kills in the NFL. 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.240 I watched Tyree Hill go out there and do what 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:48.840 he did because I played against him in both My 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:50.840 fantasy leader went out there and kill me in both though. 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.040 All right, I seen the man motion across, get down 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.760 in a squat position, and everybody know he's about to 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:58.720 run deep like he just coming out of the blocks, 0:15:58.760 --> 0:15:59.200 and they ran. 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:00.560 He ran straight by every time. 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:02.760 Now, why you kill me? Why you kill me when 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.240 I talk about Tony Pollard and c mc vein, and 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:07.320 then you take no no, I said no, no, no, no, 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:12.080 you preface your statement. I said speed, But I said speed, okay, 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:16.240 not but your tight player for what I see. But 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.680 then you took this that's not the same. Oh no, 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.440 you're talking about different. You're talking about the player I'm 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:23.280 talking about it. 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.840 He is this guy right here. You lost, girl. You 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.120 are in the wrong profession, brost. 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:33.360 You just want to argue it's Tyring Hill fast. Yes, 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:34.640 it's Brandon Cooks fast. 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:35.240 Okay. 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:37.960 So that's that's what I'm talking about. Their ability to 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.280 run rouse and do all that playing. I'm just talking 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.320 about when how fast they are you you win, because 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.720 I'm gonna win on this on this foolish. 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:46.320 Were talking about. 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:48.760 Now, I know y'all got a chance to look at 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.680 the tape and just at the defense for Philadelphia. Who 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:55.840 is the guy that you're circling this guy and saying, look, 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:58.480 opportunity goes right through. 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:03.920
