Back in the building. 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:02.959 Sorry guys, to have you back. 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:04.800 Yeah, last couple days have been a little bit of 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.640 a hustle and bustle, but back in the building. 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:08.240 But we held it down. 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.240 Brian had some good questions for us yesterday, so we 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.400 had a good discussion yesterday. Maybe some of those topics 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.199 come up today. We'll get your opinions on them. Let's 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.760 start first, though, with some injury updates. Obviously, the Cowboys 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:21.800 roster is a mass unit and uh and they're just 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:23.240 kind of managing right now. 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:25.600 Let's start first with Marshaw Neelan. 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.800 Obviously, after being injured in the game, the expectation is 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:33.040 he's gonna miss some weeks. They did actually sign and 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:36.200 got to the practice squad last week. kJ Henry Brian, 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:36.720 I don't. 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.640 I don't think signed to active ross, active active roster. 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:42.600 Sorry, I don't think we got a scouter report on 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:43.160 him last week. 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:44.400 We'll see what I could do for you to give 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.000 me a little scouter report. Let me let me see 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.400 if I could do that for you. All right, sent 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:49.360 day g ag, you. 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:49.840 Want to do it? 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.440 Got that scouting report to pull it up? I got 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.200 it right here, watch me, watch me do this. 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:59.120 Just trying to buy time with me, trying to buy 0:01:59.200 --> 0:01:59.600 some time. 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:02.000 Yeah, I just wanted to make sure I had it 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:03.840 because I got all these scouting reports in my head. 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.520 The consummate radio guy knows you can't have dead air, 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.200 so he's like, can. 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.600 You okay, kJ Henry, this he's he was on the 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.239 Cincinni practice squad and I watched him on the Commanders. 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.760 He was a fifth round pick by the Commanders in 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:21.400 the twenty twenty three NFL Draft, and he's. 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:22.160 Got really good link. 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.040 I like the way that he could play off blocks 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.360 because of the link. I think that helped him. I 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.560 saw some redirect skills in him. I didn't see a 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:32.600 guy that was just up the field and then you know, 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.280 and then got stuck. Like he was able to kind 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.160 of come back and make some play. They played him 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.240 as a stand up guy at times, so stand up, 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.200 hand down both with the with that the read option 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:45.919 stuff I thought was pretty good. They got a game 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.120 against Carolina preseason game where they had to were kind 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:50.880 of doing some of that read option stuff, and he 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.200 looked like he was playing with some pretty good discipline 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.880 and not to get fooled on that. The good patience 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.960 balance good with his inside moves. I thought he closed 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.520 down quickly on the plays that went away from him 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.400 and squeezed the hole pretty well. Movement from the. 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:06.440 Backside is really good. 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.200 Good can gain some ground with that first step and 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.320 finds his way to the corner, can capture. But I 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.679 think he needed to be more consistent doing that. I 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:16.600 kind of felt like that he got there, but he 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:20.040 couldn't exactly get around it with any kind of real 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.920 consistency there. So I'm really pressed with the way he 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.120 was able to kind of control blockers and how he 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.640 extends on blockers, and so I felt like that there's 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.000 gonna be some depth with the current group that you 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.480 got surprised he wasn't active the other day, and I 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.600 guess he just wasn't ready to play. Maybe he didn't 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.560 know what was going on. But I saw him as 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.320 a positive player. You know, when you start to poach guys. 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.280 He was a guy my Gang of seven if you're 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.160 new to the show, My Gang of seven, or my 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:49.520 guys and gals around the league, the general managers and 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.840 player personnel, guys that do the film every weekend. I 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.040 asked him for three names of guys to go poach, 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.800 and he was the top name on four. 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.480 Of the seven. Okay that they said that. 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.480 My guy said, hey, if you're gonna go poach an 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:09.920 Edge kJ Henry from Cincinnati was for the seven had 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:11.040 him as the top guy. 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.440 So here we go. In your opinion, why was he 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.040 relegated to a practice squad in Cincinnati this year? 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.440 You know it's I don't know, it's Cincinnati and Cincinnati 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:23.440 struggling with her defense too. You know, maybe the maybe 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.279 the thing that bought that that teams are that we're 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.480 looking at of him, it's the probably the pass. 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.360 Rush stuff's because he's just. 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.800 Not I didn't see a guy that was that. We 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.440 always talk about the Bendi being able to kind of 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.200 get to the and then find his way to the quarterback. 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.400 That was a little bit of a struggle for him, 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:43.919 Like he he kind of gets there, but it just 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.919 doesn't have that ability to capture that then go. And 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:49.840 I kind of felt like maybe that's where people are 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.000 kind of knocking him a little bit on his Did. 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:54.880 You remember him? Do you remember him coming out of college? 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:55.080 Not? 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.400 Actually really? Yeah, this is a new name whenever he 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:58.320 popped up last week. 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.800 Yeah, okay, well he was, uh, Like I say, I was. 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:04.760 I was impressed with the ability, some of the athletic 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.760 ability that he showed, But the pass rush stuff, I 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.480 think that it's gonna take a little time there maybe. 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.919 But you know, honestly, if you tell me he's a 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.080 better run defender than he is a pass rusher, I'm 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.520 comfortable with that in the short term. Knowing that you 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:20.679 got to have to make just kind of make things 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.120 go right now. And the worst thing you can do 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.240 is get somebody who can't stop the run, yeah, because 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.039 they already got problems there. So I look at it 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.479 and that, to me, that would be a win. 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.120 He at least shows how to play the run. Well, 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:32.760 that's the thing. 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.120 And the opportunities he got, you know, so that the 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.440 discipline I think when you when you the one thing 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.360 to Dallas has kind of struggled with a little bit. 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.440 And boy, it'll be a different type of running game 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.120 this week that we're going to talk about here in 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:49.320 a few minutes. But but but still, yeah, you know, 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.120 as far as the depth piece and stuff like that, 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:57.880 the right size, the length. You know, I'm hey, you 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:02.320 know what if for my seven guys and gals say, no, man, 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.200 take a look at this guy. I mean, he's a 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.720 guy that we would go get and I would I 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.640 trust that Dallas did the right thing here, you know, 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.760 instead of just signing somebody off the street that they're 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.280 gonna have. This guy's been practicing, he's been playing, he's 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.720 been in a training camp. You know, all those things 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.520 are kind of positives going forward. 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.320 One other name Cowboys look like they're expected to sign 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.720 a new defensive end to their practice squad. 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.279 Luigi Villain. Is that how you pronounce it? Is Luigi 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:29.640 or Luigi Luigi? 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:33.000 I hope it's Luigi Villain, but I think it's Vilaine. 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.360 And actually Villain is so much better. 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.920 Right, I was like, this is a perfect wrestling name, right, Yeah, 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.600 Oligi Villain, like the perfect Nino sixty four. 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.000 Now I don't know anything about Luigi. Yeah, I don't 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.200 know anything about Luigi because I was working on the Lions. 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.200 Well, we'll figure that figure out. 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.840 But he's on the they're signing to practic QA likely 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.039 is he will probably wouldn't be up this week anyway, 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:55.920 catch right, Probably the guy that's gonna. 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.080 We don't study the practice squad d But when about that, 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:00.680 I think it's the active call we'll study. 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.480 But the point is they're doing more, They're getting more bodies, 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.120 and I think that's really the key to this is 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.000 that they're going to need bodies to be able to 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:07.560 sustain them. 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.720 I think the point you made yesterday because I tried 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:11.840 to convince you to go trade for a defensive end 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:15.520 and you weren't biten. His reason for not trading, I 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:17.520 asked him, and I'll ask you this question, though, do 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.680 you think this do you think this front off is 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.800 now it's imperative that they go and trade for a 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:25.680 legitimate defensive end. 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.320 The thing is, if you go and you trade for 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.680 a legitimate defensive end, I almost said a name that 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.880 would have been back. I got to get back in 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.960 the framework if they went and traded for a legitimate 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.520 defensive end that is potentially on the market. You're getting 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:43.160 him for three four games in an increased role, right, 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:45.320 and he's expected to come in and play those three 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.280 four games as your guy. He's going to be great. 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.720 But then once Michael Parsons comes back to Marcus Lawrence 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.920 comes back, Marshaw k Neelan comes back, Sam Williams comes 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:53.440 back next year, what do you do with this guy? 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.240 Well, see, this is the thing about it is you're 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:59.760 thinking about six games for kneel in six games for Tank, 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:00.960 so you. 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:05.840 Know, definitely, yeah, you need some help. Yeah, but is 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:09.520 there enough confidence from you for what Chauncey Golson and 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.120 Tires Wheat and Carl Lawson did on Sunday against Oh. 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.440 No, it helped my soul that they played well. 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.520 But see But when we talked about when we talked 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:24.040 about the playing against the Steelers, remember it was kind 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.160 of like, well, they've got some issues that they've got 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.400 some issues that tackle, and you're about to play a 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:33.240 team this might be the best offensive line you play 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:34.000 against all year. 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:35.920 You'll find out this might be the best one. 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:39.080 Better than better than when they're fully healthy. 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:40.360 I think so, Yeah, I think so too. 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:44.440 Yeah, it depending on what happens with Frank ragnow the center, 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:45.240 you know what. 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:46.400 His situation is. 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.120 But yeah, there, this is this is going to be 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.000 a legitimate that this is going to be hang on 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.360 to your you know what, because it's this is going 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:55.439 to be tough. They're gonna have to. 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:57.360 So we'll see. We'll see. 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.480 With Wheat and Golston and those guys, it's how they 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.920 play against. I felt like that they matched up well 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:07.160 enough against the Steelers, But who matches up well against 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:11.440 these guys. I mean, obviously the Buccaneers went to Detroit 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:14.960 and beat them, but everybody else, I mean, Seattle in 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:19.160 these games. I'm watching the Arizona game and just you know, 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:20.360 it's pretty tough up front. 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.560 So you guys talk about the players that are expected 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:25.839 to come back to injured guys, and I love how 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:30.080 everyone is just we're expecting them to return. It'd be great, 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.439 be good, like and this I'm not trying to be negative. 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:37.080 Maybe it's just the anxious person. No, it's the anxious 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.719 person in me that I'm always dealing with anxiety and 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.560 I'm always thinking worst case scenario and I dealing with 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.520 all that. But it's like, we know that when players 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.319 return hurt it takes them a while. 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:49.840 I don't know that that. I don't know that I 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:50.480 agree with that. 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.960 When you're talking about a player returning in season and 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.560 a veteran player like say Micah or Tank. Yes, for 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.199 Sam Williams, that would be concerned after he miss is 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.440 an entire year and then comes back after that year 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.679 and returns coming off an injury, this should be concerned about, 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:08.079 like how long is it going to take him to 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:09.199 ramp up to getting. 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:09.760 Back to what he was? 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:11.520 But I don't know if that's necessarily the case when 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.320 you're talking about veteran guys that miss a few weeks, 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:17.040 like they've gone through training camp, they played a few games, 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.120 they get hurt, they're out for a few weeks, and 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:19.920 then they come back. 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:20.360 I don't know that. 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.480 I necessarily think it's going to take ramp up time 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.000 for them to get back to playing as they were 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:24.520 playing before. 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.560 Oh no, I do think so with certain players. I mean, 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.360 not everyone's turn Smith that can get hurt and then 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.320 when he comes back, he's playing at a high level. 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.960 And I hope I'm wrong you're saying that. But it's 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.560 just something to keep in mind that even when they 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:41.480 were healthy, they weren't playing at such an amazing level yet. 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.000 So that's another I think. 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:50.920 About just the defense in general, overall unit everyone put together. 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.720 That's another thing that it was also a problem. Man. 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.959 You just thinking about Pollard and Steel and there has 0:10:58.040 --> 0:10:59.320 been a history up until late. 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:00.920 I mean if you think about the guys. 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:02.679 Out for longer periods of time though, is what I'm 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:03.280 saying though. 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:05.520 Right, Oh no, I mean for the year, That's what 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:11.240 I'm saying. That's what. Yeah, I see where. 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.079 You're expected to return a law sooner because you're in season, 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.120 so you're you're doing what you can. So I don't know. 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:24.440 I mean, I'm again, it's anxiety just like type of situation. 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:26.920 What the problem is now is when we looked at 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:30.000 the schedule in May, when it came out and you're like, 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:34.160 you play the win loss game and you're thinking, oh, Atlanta, Commanders. 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.679 I saw a stat the other day, Dallas is only 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:43.200 a forty eight chance at best to win if win 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:46.040 any of those games. I mean there's some they're like, 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:53.560 you know, the Commanders, what you would say, Commanders, how. 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:54.600 Much are they going to win by? 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.560 That was the question, Atlanta, let's go, you know. 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.880 But now it's like this row of games coming up 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:04.040 and you're going, damn, but they're gonna win any of them. 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:08.040 But these players, that's what I'm saying, Yeah, you're gonna 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.199 miss all these like you this week when we start 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.360 to talk about the Lions and where you can attack, 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.120 what are their tackles? Is who you need to go 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.120 after and we'll get into that, But this is a 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.040 game you would love to have had Micah just for 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:26.240 the reason of they could He could break this guy 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.640 down and I don't know if the others can't. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.720 But that's that's the problem I'm running into right now. 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.640 I'm just don't feel like I feel like I'm kind 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.640 of showing up at a fight and I don't have 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:36.400 all the weapons. 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.120 Yeah, no doubt, but fight the battle to your point 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.280 about the schedule and looking at the schedule, I think 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.600 there's there's already been those moments too where you didn't 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:46.760 think New Orleans when we saw the record, we were 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:48.559 like they saw the schedule, we were like, Okay. 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.960 That's kind of where they are right now. Yeah. Yeah. 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:52.679 And then but then the flip side of that is 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.640 Pittsburgh was probably better than what I thought they were 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:57.440 when the schedule came out, and Cowboys going to win 0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:57.720 that one. 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:00.960 So the NFL is just a strange lady. You just 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.040 never know what's going to happen, and you don't know 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:04.280 it's too early. 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.200 In the year to know who's really good and who's 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:09.120 really not, and and like where you're seeing things that 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.720 really will matter as the as the season plays out. 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.040 I just I'm looking at the Commanders every week, and 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.480 they had defense is thirty first in most categories, their 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.559 offenses first or second, and everything else. It's very much 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.520 a it's a it's a weird team. Is if you 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.559 could deal with their offense, you got a chance. If 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.240 you don't, they're probably gonna beat you. Yeah, it's just 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:30.319 a weird, weird season. 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.360 The Yeah, I watched that that whole game last week 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.600 because we were at the hotel waiting for our game. 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.640 And yeah, they look really good, especially offensive. 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.079 Cleveland kind of can be a little bit of a trainer, 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:43.840 but Cleftand's defense, You feel like Cleveland's defense is pretty good. 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.480 Yeah, that offense and that that Washington offense looks really 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.480 good right now. And they got a number of guys 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.319 all yeah, it's crazy the number of guys that can 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:54.320 actually get you on any given play. 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:56.600 Well, Cliff Kingsbury, the OC there has learned how to 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.920 run the ball. You finally figured out how to run 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.320 the ball to go with all the craziness that he 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:02.360 throws at you. 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:03.760 You have three running backs, so you can hand it 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:03.960 off to. 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.600 It makes no doubt easier. Three good running bock knock. 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:09.160 All right, we're gonna take our first break when we 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:09.600 come back. 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.439 We're going to dive into the Lions offense versus the 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.800 Cowboys defense.

All right, 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.399 let's talk about this Detroit offense. I want to start 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:21.960 at the part of this offense that I think can 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.719 be most problematic. Like Pittsburgh, they run a lot. They 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.960 are fourth in the league and rush attempts. Unlike Pittsburgh, 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.639 they're very good at it. Now they're sixth in the 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.879 league at rushing yards. Give me a scatony report on 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.119 David Montgomery and jamieer Gibbs. 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.280 Yeah, two of the better backs that you're going to face, 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.520 and they they're really interchangeable. The great thing about them 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:46.240 is that they it doesn't matter who is in the game. 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:48.480 They like to They're a team. 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:51.000
