Let's get some injury updates. 80 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 8: Did the injury list grew by one person yesterday? 81 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 2: But let's go through the list. Talk about what. 82 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 8: We're thinking and what we're hearing about each of these players, 83 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 8: Let's start with Tyler Smith. 84 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 9: Tyler Smith, the expectation was that he would go into 85 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 9: practice and do some work on Yesterday Wednesday, and he did. 86 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 7: He came out as limited. 87 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 9: Question now is will the Cowboys try to ramp him 88 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 9: up to do a little bit more on Thursday. 89 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 7: That is the plan. 90 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 9: Mike McCarthy said that the status from yesterday on Tyler 91 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 9: Smith as well as these other guys we'll talk about 92 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 9: here in a second, is basically going to be the same. 93 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 9: So the expectation this Thursday, it'll be limited. But does 94 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 9: that mean he does a little bit more, Possibly because 95 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,279 Speaker 9: he can and still be limited. Zach Martin did not participate. 96 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 9: That was expected as well. He rode his ankle. All 97 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 9: signs or that he's fine and he will be a 98 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,559 Speaker 9: goal for Sunday. Just looks like it's, you know, precautionary. 99 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 9: They want to rest the ankle. Smart move there. Brandon 100 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 9: Cooks he was also limited, as was Tuma Idoga. Both 101 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 9: of those players are on the same plan as Tyler Smith. 102 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 9: Limited on Wednesday, possibly likely limited on Thursday, but we'll 103 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 9: try to ramp up on Thursday. All three are trending 104 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 9: upward towards possibly taking the field against Arizona Cardinals. J 105 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 9: Roon Curse unexpected absence, but it was due to an illness. 106 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 9: I'm told that it's not entirely different from what Malie 107 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 9: Cooker dealt with. But Malik was able to play through 108 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 9: that game and fight through it. So week of rest 109 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 9: maybe for jay Ron Curse. He's not expected to practice 110 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 9: today as he tries to recover from that illness. 111 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 7: Huge positive news. 112 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 9: Donovan Wilson was expected to be on the same plan 113 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 9: as the other guys who would participate yesterday, Tyler and 114 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 9: Chuma and Brandon Cooks, but he was a full participant 115 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 9: in yesterday's practice, full participant for the first time since 116 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 9: suffering that cavstream. Of course, there were no injury reports 117 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 9: in training camp, but he practiced fully for the first 118 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 9: time since the first week. First day, I want to 119 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 9: say of training camp, Donovan Wilson looks very good for 120 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 9: taking the field against Arizona this Sunday. 121 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 7: That's a good report right there. 122 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 8: Yeah, the fact you can get if you can get 123 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 8: Donovan Wilson back, and you got these other guys that 124 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 8: have been out Tyler Smith, Brandon Cooks, at least practicing 125 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 8: a little bit limited a little bit. I think that's 126 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 8: a good thing for the Cowboys. They're trending in the 127 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 8: right direction, and from my purposes, or at least the 128 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 8: way I look at it, I just want this whole 129 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 8: thing cleared by week five. 130 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 3: I want to. 131 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 2: Have a full slate by week five. 132 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 8: When we travel to San Francisco, we are going to 133 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 8: get into the Cardinals versus the Cowboys. Brian, I know 134 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 8: there's some interesting things to note there before we do that, though, Patrick, 135 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 8: I wanted you to real quick talk about an article 136 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 8: that you wrote. 137 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 2: I saw it this morning. 138 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 8: I thought was really interesting from the standpoint of the 139 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 8: kicker and Brandon Aubrey and what you noticed about him, 140 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 8: and you made this unique parallel to another kicker, another 141 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 8: really good kicker for the Cowboys, and what did you 142 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 8: find in your study and then putting that article together. 143 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 9: Well, the standard for kicking in Dallas is going to 144 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 9: be Dan Bailly, and it's probably always going to be 145 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 9: Dan Bailly until someone as successor comes up and shows 146 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 9: that he's worthy. And we're sitting here and we're trying 147 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 9: to figure out if all we can be the guy 148 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 9: just that we tried to figure out if this guy 149 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 9: into could be the guy. And we tried to figure 150 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 9: out if Garabey might be the guy last season, and 151 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 9: none of that worked out, you know, hadre Lalu, none 152 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 9: of that worked out. 153 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 7: But after the game. 154 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 9: On Sunday, which pushed my confidence meter to ninety percent, 155 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 9: he goes. 156 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 7: Five for five. 157 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 9: He goes five for five and then it as it 158 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 9: turns out, he's the first kicker in franchise history to 159 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 9: have made his first seven field goal attempts with the Cowboys. 160 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 9: So that sparked a thought in my head. I said, 161 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 9: you know what, for this week's Science Lab, which just 162 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,679 Speaker 9: debuted not an hour, go check that out on Dallas 163 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 9: Cowboys dot com. I said, I wonder how did dance 164 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 9: Yeah science, thanks Baber. I wondered how did Dan Bailey 165 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 9: fare as a rookie? Now we time has been distanced 166 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 9: from us to Dan Bailey, so that creates a little 167 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 9: bit of romance, a lot of romance and to forget 168 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 9: the bad that happened. So we know Dan Bailey as 169 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 9: you know, the top guy, but as a rookie, he 170 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 9: had his struggles. I went in with an open mind 171 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 9: as always, and I was just curious and maybe Dan 172 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 9: Bailly as a rookie blows Brandon Aubrey as a rookie 173 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 9: out of the water through the first two weeks. 174 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 7: Not so fast, my friends. So here's what I found 175 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 7: with Dan Bailly. 176 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 9: Week two, he had a twenty one yard field goal 177 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 9: miss versus San Francisco, so he missed one of his 178 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 9: first three field goals as a rookie with the Cowboys. 179 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 9: Fast forward to Week thirteen. That was a bad game 180 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 9: in Arizona. Part of it was because Jason garrett iist 181 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 9: his own kicker, so there's that. But nonetheless, there was 182 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 9: a fifty three yard miss in week thirteen against Arizona. 183 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 9: In that same game, they put Jay Feelly in, Philly 184 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 9: made a field goal, then they put Dan Bailly in 185 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 9: with the game on the line, it was tied forty 186 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 9: nine yard miss and that was infamously for those that 187 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 9: remember Jason garrett Iist's own kicker. But nonetheless, a miss 188 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 9: is a miss. Cowboys went on to lose nineteen to 189 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 9: thirteen in overtime. The very next week, dan Bailly missed 190 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 9: a forty seven yard er. He's lost thirty seven to 191 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 9: thirty four in regulation for against the Giants. Cowboys finished 192 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 9: eight and eighth. That season, Giants win the division at 193 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 9: nine and seven. 194 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 7: Ouch. 195 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 8: So you're telling me that even if the kicker has 196 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 8: some misses later this season, you might. 197 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 7: You're smelly, you're smelling whatever saying so, and. 198 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 9: That that's actually literally what I'm pondering my question that 199 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,679 Speaker 9: I posed after And also touchback rate for Dan Bailly 200 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 9: thirty five point eight percent, touch back rate for Brandon 201 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 9: Aubrey one they're. 202 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 2: Going back to preseason. 203 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 9: I don't think there has not been a single return 204 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 9: on one of Aubrey's kicks, but nearly two thirds of 205 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 9: Dan Bailey's kickoffs were returned. And then you could say 206 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 9: extra points. This was another key thing, extra points. Dan 207 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 9: Bailly never missed an extra point for the majority of 208 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 9: his career with the Cowboys, but the field goal was 209 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 9: moved back to the fifteen yard line in twenty fifteen, 210 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 9: and a couple of years after that, his extra point 211 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 9: percentage fell off of a cliff, which then led to 212 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 9: him being released. So that's not even apples to apples 213 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 9: because Dan Bailey was kicking extra points from the two 214 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 9: yard line. These kickers nowadays are kicking from the fifteen. 215 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 9: But my point that I parted. It was how much 216 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 9: grace would we and I'm including myself have given would 217 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 9: have given Dan Bailey after seeing him miss the first 218 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 9: of three field goals, And that was in a time 219 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 9: where the Cowboys were also looking for a worthy kicker 220 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 9: to say that's the guy. 221 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 7: Missus Missus. One of the first two. 222 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 9: Goes to Arizona Missus two. The last one with the 223 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 9: game on the line the next week, loses Missus and 224 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 9: then that leads to a loss against a division rival, 225 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 9: who then wins the division goes to the playoffs by 226 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 9: one more win than you had. I in that instance, 227 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 9: I wouldn't have been given him grace. I would have 228 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 9: been like, get him out of here. And I'm admitting that. 229 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 9: So I had to look myself in the mirror after 230 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 9: getting these numbers, and I said, well, maybe we should 231 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 9: ride this ride. Maybe we should appreciate what Aubrey is 232 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 9: doing as far as taking us from one percent confidence 233 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 9: in training camp, if any at all, to sit in 234 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 9: an early franchise record in his first couple of games. 235 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 9: And we can be okay with saying, you know what, 236 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 9: let's let's put a pin and all to bring a 237 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 9: veteran in at least until further notice, because, like you said, 238 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 9: what if he turns into Dan Billy. Maybe he doesn't, 239 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 9: maybe he does, but we won't know if we don't 240 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 9: give this kid grace. 241 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 10: So all those misses and Dan Belly had would have 242 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 10: put your confidence meter about eighty percent. 243 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 9: Then right now, if you if you after the first one, 244 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 9: you missed the twenty one yarder, okay, I'm not feeling great. 245 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 9: You go to Arizona, Yeah, you miss those two, I'm 246 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 9: at like ten percent. The very next week, you miss 247 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 9: it against the Giants with the game on the lasher, get. 248 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 7: The guy out of here, and I would have been 249 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 7: dead right. 250 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 8: Well, but you know, real quick, I was gonna point 251 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 8: out Nick actually listening to the show. He just texted me, 252 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 8: he said, But also point out that if he doesn't 253 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 8: make the two game winners. 254 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 2: Oh yeah that game Francisco out, he gets cut. 255 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 8: And so it's not so much just necessarily about the 256 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 8: missus as much as it is can you read deem 257 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 8: yourself with the big kicks to where the team can say, yeah, 258 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 8: he missed, but he came through in the clutch when 259 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 8: we needed him. 260 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 10: Well, the twenty one yard field gold and that was 261 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 10: a game. You were fighting for inches. I mean, you 262 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 10: needed any points you can get it. It was crazy 263 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 10: the way it went. We all remember at the Jesse 264 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 10: Holly play and he made the game winning field goal 265 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 10: after that. But I to me, yeah, this whole kicker 266 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 10: thing is, yeah, you do have to give them grace 267 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 10: and opportunity to prove themselves. I just think in this 268 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 10: day and age, though, with where we live in the 269 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 10: National Football League, these games are so close. 270 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 3: They're so close. And you said it very well. You 271 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 3: miss a. 272 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 10: Field gold and you lose a game and it costs 273 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 10: you an opportunity in the playoffs. Now you start to 274 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 10: think about and again, there's a lot of things that 275 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 10: happened during a season, but you could point out the 276 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 10: plays that might have turned the season around, either in 277 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 10: a positive way or a negative way. And these kickers, 278 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 10: you know, it's a hard evaluation. If you've got one 279 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 10: like the Ravens have there and Tucker, man, they're worth 280 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 10: your weight in gold. 281 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 3: I was talking one time on the Draft show about this. 282 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 10: I said, you know, when you talk about like I say, Tucker, 283 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 10: would you give your first round pick the bottom of 284 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 10: the first round, Say you're picking at twenty seven if 285 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 10: you didn't have a kicker, would you give your twenty 286 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 10: seventh pick overall to go get somebody like that? 287 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 3: And absolutely you would. 288 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 10: Because it means that much to you that that's something 289 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 10: that you don't want to have to live through that 290 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 10: Cowboys lived through Brett Maher at the end of that 291 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 10: season last year, with the thought of this could go 292 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 10: really badly for us, to the point like can we 293 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 10: even think about kicking a field goal here? 294 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 3: You know, you don't want to get paralyzed like that. 295 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 10: And and you know it's good for Aubrey that's come 296 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 10: in and done as well as he had right off 297 00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 10: the jump. 298 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 3: It's good that he's had. 299 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 10: Those USFL seasons that you could really evaluate him and see, 300 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 10: you know, he's the type of guy I know talking 301 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 10: to people around the league that study kickers. I ask 302 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 10: about him and I've heard you say this before, he's 303 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 10: wired right, And when you start to talk about how 304 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 10: he is as a person as a kicker, mental makeups 305 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 10: and all those things I think are really important for 306 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 10: that position. 307 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 3: All right. 308 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 5: I think I was going to say that one thing 309 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 5: I've kind of learned after the whole Dan Bailey era, 310 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 5: because that's when I first got here, I loved him, 311 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 5: had a poster on him. Yeah, I eventually had to 312 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 5: retire the poster, and yeah, Sean Lee is currently replacing 313 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 5: that spot and he will stay there. But that was 314 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 5: when I came in and I watched and I thought, 315 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 5: that's what a kicker should always be. That was my 316 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 5: initial How hard is it to kick the ball and 317 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 5: get it in every time? You know? Seems easy enough. 318 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 5: And then I slowly after that and the transition of 319 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 5: the cow was trying to find a new kicker. I 320 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 5: begin to find out and discover, Okay, this is not 321 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 5: just like your body's a machine and it just goes 322 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 5: through the motions and he repeats over and over what 323 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 5: they're supposed to do. But it's also that mental part 324 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 5: of the game that affects kickers and again happen to 325 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 5: them Bailey, happens to so many other kickers that they're 326 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 5: doing well and then whatever mental thing happens where it 327 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 5: just becomes a struggle and they just can't seem to 328 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 5: get it right again and get into that groove and 329 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 5: flow every game and until they have to change scenes 330 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 5: and go to another team. So now I'm like with him, 331 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 5: he's doing with Aubrey. He's doing a great job right now. 332 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 5: He started off really really good despite the training camp 333 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 5: that he had or initially showed, and congratulations to him, 334 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 5: and I'm excited for that, and I hope it does 335 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 5: keep going week after week. But it's one of those 336 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 5: things that it would take me, I think, probably two 337 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 5: seasons two yes for me, no, for me to just 338 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 5: feel settled, like fully trust in somebody where I'm like, okay, 339 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 5: that's a given type of obviously there's always gonna be 340 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 5: a honor to missus whatever, but just to get back 341 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 5: into how I used to feel with the guy like 342 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 5: Dan Bailey, just because I've kind of learned my lesson 343 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 5: over the years that when I think it's okay, it's not. 344 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 5: And again that's not dismissing what he's done so far, 345 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 5: but I am back to thinking every week is a 346 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 5: different week. Every environment is a different environment, different weather, 347 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 5: different stadium, different crowd, different intensity. Is the game solely 348 00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 5: relying on that last kick or not? So again, let's 349 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 5: hoping it goes well. But it's cool to hear those 350 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 5: things to kind of see the trend we. 351 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 9: Tend to forget and you know, like I said, Dan Bailey, 352 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 9: I would argue he needs to be the first place 353 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 9: kicker in the Cowboys Ring of honor. 354 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 7: I mean, I hold him in unbelievably high regard. 355 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 9: But when I was looking back at the numbers, I 356 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 9: had actually forgotten about a couple of these misses because 357 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 9: it's been such a period of time. So they popped 358 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 9: out at me and I said, hey, for all the 359 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 9: good Dan Bailly did, and there was good that he 360 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 9: did in you know, year one and year two as 361 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 9: well before he became Dan Bailey, But then you start 362 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 9: looking at Aubrey and it's like, well, you know what, 363 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 9: this kid through two weeks has earned the grace for 364 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 9: us to be like, you know what, we're a little 365 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 9: bit more comfortable. But it's also fair to say we're 366 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 9: not going to be completely bought in until we see 367 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 9: at least one full season's body of work. And then contextually, 368 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 9: you can look back at the season and said, where 369 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 9: there any game winners? 370 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 7: You know what? 371 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 9: Environments was the playoffs? And then we could have that conversation. 372 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 9: But as it stands, I mean, he's off to a 373 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 9: hotter start than Dan Bailey. Will he have as het 374 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 9: of a you know, finish in the end, you can 375 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 9: only hope so but we can only go about wis 376 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 9: in front of him. 377 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 10: I hope he doesn't get injured like Dan Bailey did, 378 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 10: oh back in the back injury. 379 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 2: Was that the other part to it too? 380 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 7: Right? 381 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 10: Dan Bailey was one of the best conditioned athletes to 382 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 10: ever play here with the Dallas Cowboys. 383 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 3: Regardless of his position. 384 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 10: Pound for pound, he was a guy that was always 385 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 10: one of the workout warriors if they you know, was 386 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 10: on the wall for what he did and and but 387 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 10: you know when he got that suffered that back injury, 388 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 10: that was that was the taelling sign that it really 389 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 10: hurt him. 390 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 7: Great down, all right. 391 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 2: We're gonna take our first break when we come back. 392 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 8: Let's dive into the Dallas defense versus the Arizon offense 393 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 8: with the back Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. 394 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 11: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 395 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 11: Cheatah Savannah.

Let's talk about the Dallas defense versus 453 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 8: the Arizona offense. Brian I was talking to you before 454 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 8: we went down air and talking about how as I 455 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 8: went back and watched film, I was actually quite impressed 456 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 8: with this, especially this offense, particularly Dobbs and and Connor. Yeah, 457 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 8: tell me what you've noticed from this offense as you studied. 458 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 10: Yeah, this is not a tanking team. And they're zero 459 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 10: to two because they can't finish games. That's their biggest 460 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 10: problem right now. They're doing some things right on offense, 461 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 10: and they're gonna present some problems for you defensively just 462 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 10: because of what they do with your eyes. There's a 463 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 10: lot of motion, a lot of movement. They're always working 464 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 10: to try and affect the eye level of the defense. 465 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 10: You're gonna get shot guns sixty four percent the time, 466 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 10: you're gonna get under center thirty six percent of the time. 467 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,959 Speaker 10: Most of the most productive personnel group they have as 468 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 10: their twelve personnel stuff. They average right around seven yards 469 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 10: of snap doing that nineteen but they only do it 470 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 10: about nineteen percent of the time, but it's their most 471 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 10: productive group. I could see them doing it against the Cowboys, 472 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 10: just because how much they worry about the Cowboys rush 473 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 10: and with the way they go there. There's been some 474 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 10: snaps where they completely fool the defense. 475 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 3: With the play. 476 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 10: But sometimes they have poor execution, don't finish. Like I said, 477 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 10: you have to be ready in this game for the 478 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 10: picks and the rubs. When they get in a bunch formation, 479 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 10: they'll scatter, they'll run guys across the formation. They're going 480 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 10: to run you through trash. They like to run receivers 481 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 10: inside and then run the tight end out to kind 482 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 10: of use a bigger body to pick. So you've got 483 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 10: to be ready of all those kinds of things. Josh 484 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 10: Dobbs is a quarterback they traded for him before the season. 485 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 3: Dobbs. If we all remember started last year. 486 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 10: Against the Cowboys and Tennis see in a game that 487 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 10: they they were still trying to fight for a playoff spot. 488 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 10: He wasn't ready to play. He looks like a different 489 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 10: quarterback the way he's playing now. The ball really comes 490 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 10: off his hands or his hand. Well, Uh, there'll be 491 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 10: some struggles, I think in a couple of areas. He'll 492 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 10: stares an intended target at times, and he doesn't set 493 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 10: his feet, and when he doesn't set his feet, he's 494 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 10: not as accurate. So, but you have to be ready 495 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 10: for him running the football when the play breaks down. 496 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 10: He's not afraid to do so. The scheme does have 497 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 10: some design runs and it build in and but you know, 498 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 10: he'll also, in my opinion, he'll make a mistake with 499 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 10: the ball occasion, with the way he throws it, he'll 500 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 10: just kind of force it into a spot. Teams haven't 501 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 10: taken advantage of that with him. You've got to find 502 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 10: a way when he throws you the ball, catch it. 503 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 7: You know. 504 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 10: The one thing the Cowboys can do is they're pretty 505 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 10: good at turning turning you over in that in that regard, 506 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 10: so got to be ready when he throws you one. 507 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 10: James Connors our primary running back. He's a physical player 508 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 10: in every sense of the word. He runs with an attitude. 509 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 10: He's not afraid to take the ball in, but if 510 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 10: he watched the Cardinals play at all, he'll bounce it 511 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 10: to the outside. He runs through arm tacklers. He's got 512 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 10: some complete traits to him as a player. He catches 513 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 10: well on screens in the flat, and he's not afraid 514 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 10: to take a shot at a defender in the passing game. 515 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 10: As a blocker, he's got a little edge to him 516 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 10: the way that goes. He had a little bit more 517 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 10: trouble running the ball against the Commanders than he did 518 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 10: against the Giants. It felt like as a whole they 519 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 10: blocked better in that game against the Giants. The Cowboys 520 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 10: had some success at well. Maybe the Giants aren't as 521 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 10: good defensively as we all thought they were. Zach Ernz 522 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 10: and Trey McBride, those are their two primary tight ends. 523 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 10: Ernz is not as quick or as elusive as he 524 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 10: once was, but he's still going to make his share 525 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 10: of reception. Dobbs really relies on him to make those 526 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 10: simple plays. Ertz is a savvy veteran field route runner. 527 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 10: He'll push off down the field. You know, you've got 528 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 10: to be ready for him to do that. The thing 529 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 10: you have to be careful. I want to point this 530 00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 10: out about McBride, and this pertains to Michael Parsons. They 531 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 10: run the ball one way, they'll take full flow, say 532 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 10: to the right, and they'll bring McBride back to the left. 533 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 10: If Micah Parsons is on the back side, they will 534 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 10: cut him. In this game, they will try. That's what 535 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 10: McBride does. He doesn't really square up anybody. So Mike 536 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 10: has got to be careful. If he's screaming off the 537 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 10: backside and they're running the ball away from him, that 538 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 10: you get McBride coming the other way with a low block. 539 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 10: That's something, and he does it every single time. So 540 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 10: Micah has to be aware of that. The cowboys have 541 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 10: to be aware of that. Especially you know, hey, here 542 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 10: comes flow going one way, your haul and rear going 543 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 10: after it, and here comes a block coming. 544 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 3: Back the other way. But it's low. 545 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 10: That's you know how Sometimes some of these guys get hurting, 546 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 10: maybe they'll take a shot at Mica to slow him 547 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 10: down that way, So keep an eye on that the 548 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 10: weakness of this offensive line is at the guard spot. 549 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 10: Both Will Hernandez and Elijah Wilkinson. They tend to catch blocks. 550 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 10: They'll both struggle with quickness. They have trouble getting to 551 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 10: the second level. This could be an opportunity to draw 552 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 10: some holding calls here because of their style of play, 553 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 10: the way they clutch and grab oh sudden, these guys 554 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 10: the ability to get up the field. 555 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 3: These guys will. 556 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 10: Probably have to tackle them to stop them, but that 557 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 10: might be some calls depending on who the referee is. 558 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 10: We'll talk about that probably a little bit tomorrow. But 559 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 10: as a unit, the overall scheme is to described as 560 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 10: pin and pull. They like to down block and then 561 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 10: pull guys to the outside, So they really don't want 562 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 10: to take you square. 563 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 3: They want to. 564 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 10: Pin you and then pull a guy around to get 565 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 10: the connor into some space running the football, and they're 566 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 10: going to use angles instead of having to go toe 567 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 10: to toe with you. The receivers. I don't think this 568 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 10: is a bad group of receivers. I think the highlighter 569 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 10: of the group is Marquise Brown. There's some explosive side 570 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 10: to his game, the quickness to speed that aids him 571 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 10: as a route runner. I've seen him make some really 572 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 10: nice receptions and to drop some easy ones, so he's 573 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 10: kind of been a little inconsistent. That he's got the 574 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 10: only receiving touchdown that the Cardinals have this season, but 575 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 10: also know that seven of his nine receptions have resulted 576 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 10: in first downs for this team. The player that I 577 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 10: really like is Ron Rondel Brown. The one guy that 578 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 10: dan Quinn needs to keep an eye on. The Cardinals 579 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 10: staff wants to get him involved in the game plan. 580 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 10: That's Rondell More might say Brown, that type Brown, It's 581 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 10: more sorry, it's ronde Moore. He's the one guy that 582 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 10: dan Quinn needs to keep an eye on. The Cardinals 583 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 10: staff want to get him involved. They will line him 584 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 10: up all over the formation, out wide, in the slot, 585 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 10: in the backfield. He's always on the move. They have 586 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 10: to be ready for him running the wheel route out 587 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 10: of the backfield or getting the screen out to his side. 588 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 10: Like Brown, he's an explosive player with the ball in 589 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 10: his hands. So the Cardinals off offensively, They've got a 590 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 10: lot of things. Movement is really really big with their group. 591 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 10: They're going to try and affect your eye level and 592 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 10: make you chase things that aren't there and then try 593 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 10: and take the ball back. Micah does need to protect 594 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 10: himself though, on those backsides, those plays that go away 595 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 10: from him, if he's the backside guy. 596 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 9: I was just gonna say, and speaking of that wide 597 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 9: receiver Cord and I know a lot of people they're 598 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 9: looking at Joshua Dobbs, and rightfully so, because it all 599 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 9: starts and ends with the quarterback. But I mean they're 600 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 9: not devoid of talent like Brian's pointing out, They're not 601 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 9: devoid of talent on that offense. And for those that 602 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 9: haven't seen James Connor in Arizona, I mean you saw 603 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 9: him in his early time with Pittsburgh. I mean he 604 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 9: can really change the game if you allow him to 605 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 9: change the game. Marquise Brown, you saw him with the 606 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 9: Baltimore Ravens before things kind of went left there. That's 607 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 9: a speaster who can take the top off. The good 608 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 9: thing is when you talk about a player with the 609 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 9: caliber of the caliber of like zach Ertz, Cowboys are 610 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 9: extremely familiar with him, So that could be edged to 611 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 9: the Cowboys that you know as far as defending zach Ertz. 612 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 9: And then they have possibly Donovan Wilson coming back, Jayron 613 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 9: Curs as long as he recovers from the illness. 614 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 7: Marquise Bell is there. 615 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 9: They got linebacker speed on the Dallas middle of the 616 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 9: Dallas defense. So I think you can contain Ertz. But 617 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 9: I really love what you said about Rondelle Moore because 618 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 9: he could be the kind of like the pressure release 619 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 9: valve for Joshua Dobbs. So if you don't keep an 620 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 9: eye on him, and if you let him start changing 621 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 9: the game a little bit, that's going to open up 622 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 9: the field for those other guys and for Joshua Dobbs 623 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 9: to really start to kind of operate. So keep an 624 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 9: eye on that. But what was interesting, Another interesting thing 625 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 9: for me is we talked yesterday. I want to say 626 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 9: about how foreshadowing the Eagles matchup against Michael Parsons and 627 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 9: this defense, how the RPO for the Eagles froze Michael Parsons. Well, 628 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 9: this might this Sunday might be an early test of 629 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 9: how Micah and the Cowboys are going to handle the 630 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 9: RPO because Dobbs and the Cardinals they've already run the 631 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 9: RPO ten times over their first two games. 632 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 7: They've passed out of it. 633 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 9: Eight of those two times and they've they're averaging eleven 634 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 9: yards per completion out of that. So it's interesting that 635 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 9: we talked about that yesterday. As far as the Eagles 636 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 9: and Jalen Hurts is concerned, Let's see, let's keep an 637 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 9: eye on that against Joshua Dobbs. Let's see how Michael 638 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 9: Parsons handles that RPO against Joshua Dobbs. That's going to 639 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 9: give us early indication of how he'll probably handle it 640 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 9: when he gets to the Eagles and Jalen Hurts. 641 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 8: On that same note, Obs has rushed this season six 642 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 8: times for thirty eight yards in one rushing touchdown. This 643 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 8: will be the third week in a row when you'll 644 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 8: the Cowboys will face a quarterback that I don't know 645 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 8: any of these are game breakers when not talking to 646 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 8: Michael Vick. We're talking about guys that can move, guys 647 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 8: that can kind of make you pay a little bit. 648 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 2: Are you, as you watch how they've. 649 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 8: Performed against these other teams, are you're starting to think, 650 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 8: you know, they really got to figure this out because 651 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 8: this can be a problem for them as they go 652 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 8: Or do you think, hey, if this is what they're 653 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 8: going to give up, if all the things they do 654 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 8: defensively forces them or makes them give this up more regularly. 655 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 8: These little runs by quarterbacks that can kind of hurt 656 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 8: you a little bit here and there, that's worth it 657 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 8: for everything else they get out of this defense. 658 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 10: I think the thing to me that the biggest concern, 659 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 10: like you're talking about, is the quarterback run, especially with 660 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 10: the way these guys are breaking the pocket and keeping 661 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 10: drives going. It's not really punishing the Cowboys yet, like 662 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 10: if you're in a really close game. But I think 663 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 10: that Mike McCarthy's probably talked to Dan Quinn. Staff is 664 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 10: probably all talked together, and if you had to self scout, 665 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 10: you would say, what's the one thing that we're struggling 666 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 10: with on a defense. It's containing the running quarterback, or 667 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 10: it's playing with gap or laying discipline. 668 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 3: Integrity, whatever you want to call it. 669 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 10: You know, when we rush, we got to make sure 670 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 10: that you know that we don't just create seams in 671 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 10: our defense that allow these quarterbacks to run. 672 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 3: This guy. 673 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 10: The quarterbacks you played, like I say, Zach Wilson got 674 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 10: after you a little bit. 675 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 3: We know what Daniel Jones is going to do. I 676 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 3: think this guy here. 677 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 10: With Dobbs I think he's okay with running the football. 678 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 10: He's a big body guy, and I think he's like, 679 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 10: if he doesn't have to throw it, he's okay with 680 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 10: running it, because you'll see times and he'll be it's 681 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 10: not get down, guy, it's try and run over. You 682 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 10: almost plays like Dak Prescott in that way of how 683 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 10: physical he could be. But if you're the Cowboys, the 684 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 10: one thing that you have to say is a little 685 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 10: bit of a concern of the defense has been that 686 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,719 Speaker 10: running quarterback, and they have to be a little bit 687 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 10: more discipline going forward playing these types of guys that 688 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 10: are more willing to run. 689 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think you've seen that. Uh, these first 690 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 5: two weeks of the season, compared to last year, you know, 691 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 5: they were struggling with the running game in general, and 692 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 5: so far this season they've been able to contain running backs. 693 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 5: But there have been in Week one and Week two 694 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 5: instances very briefly. Week one, at the beginning of the game. 695 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 5: Week two, I forgot what part of the game it was, 696 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 5: but the quarterback took off in a couple. 697 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 2: Of plays for half and had those. 698 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 5: Yes. Yes, So you've seen that happen. And if I 699 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 5: was the opposing team whoever else is preparing to face 700 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 5: the Cowboys, I would really just look at those plays 701 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 5: over and over and try and I get it, like 702 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 5: it's hard. You're not gonna have your your quarterback running 703 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 5: all the time consistently, but I would incorporate that every 704 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 5: few plays or so to kind of make it the 705 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,959 Speaker 5: Cowboys think and try to hurt them that way, because 706 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 5: other than that, I don't see any other type of 707 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 5: weaknesses right now for the Cowboys defense. They've been doing 708 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 5: such a great job, but the fact that there have 709 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 5: been those moments with the quarterback has been able to 710 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 5: sneak out and run. You know, the Cowboys hate to 711 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 5: see that. Anytime a play a quarterback gets away from Micah, 712 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 5: you know how pissed off Mike is gonna get. So 713 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 5: just kind of get them off. And that's the one 714 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 5: thing that I think can affect a guy like Micah, 715 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 5: getting him off, like mentally messing with his head, messing 716 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 5: because he's that type of competitive guy that he and 717 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 5: we saw it last year there was just like I 718 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 5: think it was just maybe one game I can't remember, 719 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 5: but very briefly, that if you get in his head 720 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 5: a little bit and he starts getting angry and allowing 721 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 5: that to happen and not channel that energy towards focus 722 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 5: in game and attack. That's how you can throw off 723 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 5: a guy like Mike, because otherwise Mike is like the 724 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,959 Speaker 5: best of the best. Otherwise you're not. But yes, I 725 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 5: do think that running quarterbacks, that that would be the 726 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 5: biggest problem that the Cowboys defense could deal with. 727 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 10: I think you make a great point about if you 728 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 10: go back and maybe you spent some time again, this 729 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 10: is not a common opponent that the Cowboys face. 730 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 3: I mean, it's you know they have in the past. 731 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 3: But if you're if you're going to walk. 732 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 10: How do you stop Michaeh Parsons, if you're going to 733 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,719 Speaker 10: do a deep study. Philadelphia did a good job of that, 734 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 10: And it was really with the RPO stuff. It was 735 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 10: they made him hesitate. They made him like take pitch 736 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 10: or take you or take the quarterback, you know, take 737 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 10: hand off or take quarterback, and you know, you create 738 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 10: that indecision. But that's not everybody else too. That's not 739 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 10: just on Micah. That's everybody else having to play play 740 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 10: the scheme. You know, you you have to. Mike has 741 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 10: got his responsibilities. The other guys have to come up 742 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 10: with their responsibilities as well. But if I'm playing the Cowboys, 743 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 10: I'm doing anything I can. Like I say, either the 744 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 10: cut blocks, run at him, freeze him, if you can, 745 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 10: I do anything to keep him from trying to take 746 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 10: over the football game like he has throughout his career. 747 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 7: In great job on dan Quinn through these first two games. 748 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 9: I mean we've seen him over the first couple of seasons, 749 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 9: you know, start to move Michael around, but not like 750 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 9: we've seen these first two games. 751 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,439 Speaker 7: I mean it is really a game of where's Wald doing? 752 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 9: Now? Dan Quinn is playing that same game with DeMarcus Lawrence, 753 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 9: who's normally mostly stationary on the left end, but now 754 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 9: you see him getting some strong sat on the right end. 755 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 9: You see Micah getting some rushes over the guard. I mean, 756 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 9: dan Quinn knows that they're trying to key in and 757 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,839 Speaker 9: attack Micah, so he keeps moving them around, so DQ 758 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 9: he's orchestrating it. 759 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 8: All Right, we're going to take our final break, We're 760 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 8: gonna come back, and I'm gonna ask you guys a 761 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 8: very simple question.

Yes that 830 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 10: he'll give you one percent of whatever he makes of 831 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 10: that that might be. 832 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 7: And the suggestion started pouring in on Twitter yesterday. 833 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 8: We ought to spend the whole show trying to see 834 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,800 Speaker 8: if we can all get paid. 835 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 10: I might not have to read about his hats anymore 836 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,439 Speaker 10: if we can figure out a name, right. 837 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 2: And that'll get you to costa Rica Hu. 838 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, that problem all right. 839 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,280 Speaker 2: Here's the question. It's a very simple question. 840 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 8: If you were the opposing team playing the Dallas Cowboys 841 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 8: in any given given week this season, how would you 842 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,720 Speaker 8: attempt to attack them? And particularly how do you slow 843 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,879 Speaker 8: down a guy like Michael Parsons and keep him from 844 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 8: wrecking the game. 845 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,320 Speaker 5: So, yeah, Google, what do Lions life. 846 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 3: Is like? 847 00:38:55,120 --> 00:39:00,760 Speaker 5: The most to see? Who would be the sacrifice by somebody? 848 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 5: But you're screwed because they like everything. 849 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 2: They will eat and devour every line is always hungry, Yes. 850 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 5: They always are. And I'll leave the professional question breakdown 851 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 5: to you guys, but to me, it's what I said 852 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,839 Speaker 5: earlier before we went to break and I think it's 853 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 5: hard to do now the mental aspect of things, because 854 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 5: he has been improving season after season, and he's just 855 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 5: more dead focus on what he won. And I think 856 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 5: every time he gets a sack, every time they make 857 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 5: a play, the energy just keeps building and building. So 858 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:43,240 Speaker 5: it's harder to throw somebody off their game when they're 859 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 5: mentally already past you. So I think that would be 860 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 5: hard to do. But the only way for me that 861 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 5: I see it is more just messing up and I'll 862 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 5: let you take over, kind of what the Eagles did 863 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 5: to the Cowboys last year, because that seemed to work 864 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 5: a little bit. But it's just at this is just 865 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 5: hard to stop. 866 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 3: I like it. 867 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 10: I think the I think the things that I would do. 868 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 10: Are you just thinking about Mica in general or just 869 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 10: the whole defense? 870 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 8: I mean, the thing about it is it all starts 871 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 8: with Micah, So that's what I'm really thinking. Like, you 872 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 8: got to think about what are you first gonna do 873 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 8: with Micah and then or are you gonna just say, hey, 874 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 8: I'm gonna know Michael Parson is gonna do his thing, 875 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,399 Speaker 8: but if I can do these things to the rest 876 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 8: of the defense, then he his his impact will be lessened. 877 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 10: I think what I'm gonna do is and and Arizona 878 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 10: actually does this, and I and I think they do 879 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 10: it with the purpose of trying to help their line. 880 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 10: The movement, all the all the the motions across the movement, 881 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,720 Speaker 10: across the pulling guard, pulling guards, the penn and polls 882 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,800 Speaker 10: I was talking about, They're trying to do things to help. 883 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,919 Speaker 10: So if I'm Mike is usually focused in on how 884 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 10: he's gonna beat the guy in front of him, He's 885 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,839 Speaker 10: usually that's his focus, whether it's a tackle or he's 886 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 10: dealing with the center guard. We saw that the other 887 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 10: day in the Jets game, how he's able to kind 888 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 10: of get the Jets center off balance a little bit 889 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,759 Speaker 10: and then get in on the play. I'm doing things 890 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 10: to try and mess with his what he's seeing. I'm 891 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 10: not gonna I'm gonna flash things at him. I'm gonna 892 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 10: I'm gonna act like I'm gonna block him, but I'm 893 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 10: gonna send it this way, or I'm gonna block him, 894 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,239 Speaker 10: or I'm gonna i'm gonna have, like I say, the 895 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:16,280 Speaker 10: pin and pull stuff. 896 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna make him have to deal. 897 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 10: The Cowboys did a really good job of this with 898 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 10: with Joey Bosa at the time when Terrence Steele made 899 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 10: his first start at right tackle, Bosas on the outside, 900 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 10: and we're all predicting doom and gloom. What they did 901 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,760 Speaker 10: was they blocked him one time with steel, They blocked 902 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 10: him the next time with a tight end. He got 903 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 10: him next time with steel and a tight end. They 904 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 10: took a back at him one time. I think you 905 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 10: just have to throw a lot of different things at him. 906 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 10: Don't let him feel like that he can get He's 907 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 10: gonna he's gonna just see one type of blocker the 908 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 10: whole day. I play with his eyes. I try and 909 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:57,319 Speaker 10: just like tight ends, wings, motion across, you know, leave 910 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,399 Speaker 10: him on the open side, motion to him hit it there, 911 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 10: you know, block crack him if you can. I mean, 912 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 10: it's hard to do. You got to have bodies to 913 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 10: be able. But I just don't let him get comfortable 914 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 10: playing against one guy or getting a feel for the scheme. 915 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 10: I'm just throwing a lot of different things at him 916 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 10: and try and find the best one that might work 917 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:19,880 Speaker 10: and take him out of his game. 918 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 9: And for me, it's it's the motion, the pre snap 919 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 9: motion and making him think. But I mean, when you 920 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,319 Speaker 9: talk about where do you attack this version of the 921 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 9: Cowboys defense, well, first you pray, and then you make 922 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,040 Speaker 9: sure you paid your tiles this week, because you're gonna 923 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,719 Speaker 9: need a little bit of divine intervention to help you 924 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,799 Speaker 9: against this Cowboys defense. I mean, and I said it 925 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 9: on one on five point three of him the fan 926 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 9: this morning about what might be the only weakness on 927 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 9: the Cowboys defense, and I said, you know what, we 928 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,360 Speaker 9: could say weakness in the aspect of a running quarterback, 929 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 9: but it's not even the weakness per se through the 930 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 9: first two weeks as much as it is a soft spot. 931 00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 9: So just attack the soft spot. So if I'm the 932 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 9: opposing offense, you have your pre stat motion and you 933 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,520 Speaker 9: get these guys to thinking. But you also have to 934 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,759 Speaker 9: remember there are other playmakers at each position across the 935 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 9: line as well. I wrote a piece on Osodiggie Zuwa. 936 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 9: Three sacks in the first two games, and he's off 937 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 9: to the races as far as probably obliterating his four 938 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,359 Speaker 9: sack total from last year. DeMarcus Lawrence. He's being moved around, 939 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 9: he's doing some things. Jonathan Hankins is impacting not only 940 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,920 Speaker 9: the run defense obviously, but he's getting in the backfield disrupted. 941 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,719 Speaker 9: If I'm the opposing quarterback, I'm running and then I'm 942 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 9: running again, and then I'm going to run again. And 943 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 9: then when you cheat Ford, I'm gonna throw the ball 944 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 9: and then you're gonna back up and I'm going. 945 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 7: To run again and run again. 946 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,359 Speaker 9: Then handoff for me, the only thing you can do 947 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 9: is attack the only soft spot, which is mobile quarterbacks, 948 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 9: and until you show me, because right, you're right, because 949 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 9: I'm risking myself. But if that's all I got, that's 950 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 9: all I got. And Brian made an excellent point about 951 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 9: the Giants and Daniel Jones first offensive drive for the Giants, 952 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,759 Speaker 9: Daniel Jones, here he goes, here, he goes, here he 953 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:58,800 Speaker 9: goes and we're all sitting in the press box and we're. 954 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 7: Like, oh, okay, here we go. 955 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,720 Speaker 9: And then the Giants, like you said, the Giants helped 956 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,440 Speaker 9: the Cowboys by getting away from that early and then 957 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 9: the rest of the game got away from them. The 958 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 9: Bowl constrictive mentality, right, So you know Zach Wilson that 959 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 9: drive before halftime, Zach Wilson hadn't taken off and scrambled 960 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 9: to that point, but then he did, and then it worked. 961 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,960 Speaker 9: And then Salah was like, do it again, do it again, 962 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 9: do it again? And then ultimately they got three points, 963 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,399 Speaker 9: didn't get touchdown, but got three points. But then third 964 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 9: quarter came, Cowboys got there three and out, just completely 965 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 9: abandoned Zach Wilson scrambling. So for me find the soft spot, 966 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 9: there's only one soft spot, especially with Donald coming back 967 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 9: as early as this week, and it's I'm running the 968 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 9: ball with my quarterback and unfortunately I'm putting him at 969 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 9: added risk. 970 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,600 Speaker 7: But what else do you got?
