Speaker 1: at it? On transitions and they're starting to kind of dark. Hello,
Speaker 1: y'll see it saying. You know what I'm saying. It's
Speaker 1: a little bright shame break like a damn for those
Speaker 1: of you that listen to the audio. He's wearing a bright,
Speaker 1: highlighter yellow me on day at my kids school today,
Speaker 1: So I figured I'll participate. I like that like that.
Speaker 1: It's it's Organ neon. No, No, don't do that. Don't
Speaker 1: do that. Don't do that for enough for a fellow
Speaker 1: Pack twelve guy that's fighting words, do that. Don't do
Speaker 1: that at all. Seattle SuperSonics neeon. Okay, don't you dare Organ. No,
Speaker 1: don't you bring up a bad word. Nike shoe as
Speaker 1: you have on right? Okay, you know I feel night
Speaker 1: it's something totally different. Okay, the same color. Does have
Speaker 1: highlighter yellow Nike shoes on? Yeah, kind of like no, no,
Speaker 1: nothing like I have friends at Man. I don't really
Speaker 1: care for them when they wear their uniform. I just
Speaker 1: Organ is just one of those teams Organ and Washington State.
Speaker 1: It's just like it just makes you cringe. Like if
Speaker 1: you're in front of me and you have an Organ
Speaker 1: sticker or a Washington style you might want to get
Speaker 1: out the way because if I had, like a if
Speaker 1: I had one of those, if I had one of
Speaker 1: those freaking what's the name was? Crashing cars are legal? No,
Speaker 1: I just always imagine like if I that I could
Speaker 1: have a car that had like a blow dart, and
Speaker 1: I can, and it's like, just make your tires go
Speaker 1: flat like I would do that, you would do it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have a little you have like a James Bond.
Speaker 1: I could think about a James Bond car with an
Speaker 1: organ freaking sticker on your car. You're getting blow darting
Speaker 1: like a sure style three darts. It is too much.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you. I was looking to
Speaker 1: troll you at some point whenever Washington and Washington State
Speaker 1: play and I was just gonna wear a Washington stated not, no,
Speaker 1: we would. We would definitely wrestle that day, would we.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we were, We would wrestle. D D T
Speaker 1: might have to do it now. But they play on
Speaker 1: THANKSGA Community, so it's we don't even have a ton
Speaker 1: of shows. Like it's just kind of walking up to
Speaker 1: me saying those two words, the R and the T
Speaker 1: word roll tide. Where the apple? Where does the apple Cup,
Speaker 1: Apple Cup. Did you ever win the Apple? Talk about Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, Championship game losers, Let's talk about the Cup. Okay,
Speaker 1: I like it. We do have some news and notes
Speaker 1: to get to because there was a lot that happened yesterday.
Speaker 1: We were after we were done, we wrapped, I mean,
Speaker 1: we we got done from here. I'm glad they listened
Speaker 1: to us in the front office. I'm really happy that
Speaker 1: the front office takes the time every day to listen
Speaker 1: to talking cowboys. You know what I'm saying. Because the
Speaker 1: wisdom and the knowledge that we dropped, the science that
Speaker 1: we dropped, I mean, it's something that you should definitely
Speaker 1: listen to and digest because you probably can utilize this
Speaker 1: to make front office moves. When'd you say there no see?
Speaker 1: I agree? I agree. So yesterday we were filming Hit Sticks.
Speaker 1: He can go and watch it today on Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: dot com. And right at the end, the question of
Speaker 1: the day, which gave away a copy of Madden, it
Speaker 1: was if there was a if there was a wish list,
Speaker 1: if there was a position you could trade for, what
Speaker 1: would it be? And I asked that to Isaiah. I
Speaker 1: think Isaiah's got a hot line to the front office.
Speaker 1: I think that's what we're not being told here. I
Speaker 1: think he's got the one that that that quick little
Speaker 1: hot line to go to the Jones family and say, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: I want a big, beefy defensive tackle that can stop
Speaker 1: the run. Put a bug in the rear. Oh, it
Speaker 1: looks like something like that happened, because that's exactly what
Speaker 1: he said on hit Sticks. He said, I want a big,
Speaker 1: beefy defensive tackle that could stop the run and get
Speaker 1: you one. Not but thirty minutes later the Cowboys went
Speaker 1: out and got one, gotcha one. Obviously. That's that's the
Speaker 1: headline that carried yesterday, it's going to carry to day,
Speaker 1: and it's going to carry into uh I mean going forward. Basically.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Hankins, former second round pick of the rival New
Speaker 1: York Giants. Cowboys fans should know Jonathan Hankins very well
Speaker 1: from his time spin in New York with Big Blue
Speaker 1: and tandem with Damon Snacks Harrison, that run stopping duo.
Speaker 1: Half of them is now here in Dallas, and two
Speaker 1: of them six three, three hundred and forty pounds of
Speaker 1: football playing human about to be dropped in the middle
Speaker 1: of the defensive line. For dan Quinn, the rich get
Speaker 1: richer that is likely and expected to help show up
Speaker 1: the arguably the only weakness on this defense. And there's
Speaker 1: no ramp up period. There's no ramp up And I'm
Speaker 1: glad you brought that up because yesterday someone on Twitter
Speaker 1: kind of not equated it. But they had a question.
Speaker 1: They say, well, is this similar to the don Terry
Speaker 1: Poe signing. No, it's not, because Poe was coming off
Speaker 1: of a torn quad. There is an offseason that he
Speaker 1: needed rehab and recovery and he needed to ramp up.
Speaker 1: It's not even the Jason Peters situation and that Jason
Speaker 1: Peters didn't have any training camp, were needed to ramp
Speaker 1: up or anything like that. Hankins he had thirty combined
Speaker 1: starts over the last two seasons for the Las Vegas Raiders,
Speaker 1: and he was active in five of their seven games
Speaker 1: this season. So he's ready right off the tarmac, right
Speaker 1: So he's he's expected to come in here. You know,
Speaker 1: he's already passed the physical. That transaction was made official
Speaker 1: on yesterday, so he could be in practice as early
Speaker 1: as today. Cowboys are hoping to get him on the
Speaker 1: field against the Bears. The Bears team that ran four
Speaker 1: over two hundred and forty yards against the New England Patriots.
Speaker 1: So yeah, no coincidence for the timing. What a move
Speaker 1: by the front office though, right, Not only do you
Speaker 1: address your knee, like what'd you give up nothing? Six?
Speaker 1: But then you next year? Yeah, so the sixth ver
Speaker 1: seven exactly. Great job by the front office, A great,
Speaker 1: great job for this. I think this is the type
Speaker 1: of position, or the type of move that around the league.
Speaker 1: We've sat here on this show many times and said, oh, man,
Speaker 1: why couldn't we have made that move? Why didn't we
Speaker 1: make that move? Why didn't we go get that guy?
Speaker 1: We could have given up us, he could have given
Speaker 1: up us fifth round pick. Are you kidding me? This
Speaker 1: is one of those moves where it's like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: we did it that. This is literally the only glaring
Speaker 1: weakness that you had on your defense. And I've been
Speaker 1: sitting here beating my chest about it and just trying
Speaker 1: to drive it home, like there's you have to address
Speaker 1: the run. You can patch yourself on the back and
Speaker 1: and sugarcoat it all day long. Teams that can run
Speaker 1: the ball will run the ball against the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: You don't want to pass against the Dallas Cowboys. So
Speaker 1: if you have the capacity and the personnel to run
Speaker 1: the ball, guess what you're gonna do. You're gonna run.
Speaker 1: It's right. So, as the Dallas Cowboys, if you can't
Speaker 1: always force a team into a passing situation, which they
Speaker 1: necessarily haven't been able to do aside for the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter of last game, then you're gonna have to find
Speaker 1: us a resolution for it. And this was the resolution.
Speaker 1: Go out there and find you a big dog who's
Speaker 1: proven as of late, not as of they're not back
Speaker 1: in the day in their career, but as of late,
Speaker 1: like as of like a week ago. Then you can
Speaker 1: stop the run and you bring him on your team,
Speaker 1: and you give up hardly anything for it because he's
Speaker 1: only thirty years old. He's only thirty years old. He's
Speaker 1: not your last yeervices contract. Right, Great, yep, there you go.
Speaker 1: But wait, there's more? Well, can we I want to
Speaker 1: ask this question because I'm glad you brought up Done
Speaker 1: Terry Poe, because that's really the fresh thing on people's
Speaker 1: mind in terms of acquiring a veteran defensive tackle Don
Speaker 1: Terry Poe, Don Terry Poe and I want to talk
Speaker 1: about Nevil Gallimore at some point too, and where he
Speaker 1: kind of fits into this equation. But with Poe, like
Speaker 1: you said, it was a completely separate situation. But should
Speaker 1: the expectations for Hankins be tempered a little bit? Or
Speaker 1: is this an immediate plug play? You feel good about it,
Speaker 1: and let's let's keep on rolling, because it's always tough
Speaker 1: coming into a tough situation or a new situation. However,
Speaker 1: stopping the run and stopping the run in Las Vegas
Speaker 1: the same as as it is in Dallas. Right, Here's
Speaker 1: here's what I would say to that, Don Terry Poe
Speaker 1: had extenuating circumstance that should have given you pause, and
Speaker 1: in the moment you could have justified justifiably been excited
Speaker 1: about it. I excited about it in the moment, but
Speaker 1: I also took pause because coming off of the quad injury,
Speaker 1: so forth and so on. Is he going to get
Speaker 1: back to that? We just mentioned that Hankins is ready
Speaker 1: off of the tarmac. He's played games this season, several
Speaker 1: games this season, and I mentioned it in the article
Speaker 1: on the dot com yesterday about to move. He's not
Speaker 1: going to be tasked with playing a lot of reps,
Speaker 1: like you're not asking right, You're not asking a lot
Speaker 1: of Hankins, which is a different situation than what you
Speaker 1: were asking from Don Terry Poe, who was in the
Speaker 1: same free agency hall as Gerald McCoy. Those two guys
Speaker 1: were supposed to come in and help be the saviors
Speaker 1: of the defensive line at that point, as far as
Speaker 1: the interior and helping out on the edge. This is
Speaker 1: a situation where you have a thirty year old with
Speaker 1: a lot left, a lot tread left on his tires.
Speaker 1: He's coming in to a very deep rotation of talent.
Speaker 1: And we'll get to Nevill gallim On in a second,
Speaker 1: but you're also talking about osa Odigi Zuwe. You're talking
Speaker 1: about another building of a man in Quentin Bohanna that
Speaker 1: he's going to be tasked with rotating Chauncey Ghost. And
Speaker 1: so you know, it's a situation right now where you
Speaker 1: get first and second down out of hankins and then
Speaker 1: you hook him right until it's time to put him
Speaker 1: in there for another run defense. And I think those
Speaker 1: limited reps, in that limited expectation will allow him to
Speaker 1: stay fresh longer, It would allow him to be more
Speaker 1: impactful because you're not asking a ton. So I mean,
Speaker 1: the only thing that's similar between he and Don Terry
Speaker 1: post the fact they played the same position. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: basically it. That makes me feel so much better about
Speaker 1: this whole situation, not saying that I was comparing Hankins
Speaker 1: to Pope, completely different players in terms of what they
Speaker 1: do similarly. But like I said, Isaiah, where does Nevill
Speaker 1: Gallimore fit into that fold? Because inactive last week? Why
Speaker 1: why was he inactive again? There was a health issue
Speaker 1: that cropped up. He was medically cleared meta mich McCarthy
Speaker 1: and Steven Jones. But because there was a health issue
Speaker 1: that cropped up, he was It was it came down
Speaker 1: to a coach's decision, which was basically a less than
Speaker 1: one hundred percent Nevill Gallimore or a one hundred percent
Speaker 1: Tristan Hill because Carlos Watkins had just been signed from
Speaker 1: the practice squad to the Act four run defense, which
Speaker 1: was kind of a hint at, you know, making the
Speaker 1: move for Hankins. So I know that the timing of it.
Speaker 1: People are connecting dods and saying, well, is this the
Speaker 1: writing on the wall for Neville Gallimore. I'm more of
Speaker 1: the mindset. I wonder how this impacts a guy like
Speaker 1: Carlos Watkins who's not subject to waivers just yet before
Speaker 1: the trade deadline, and they probably feel that they can
Speaker 1: get him back on the practice squad now, they don't
Speaker 1: need to make that move just yet because Joe Lewis
Speaker 1: is going to go to IR. So let's swap Lewis
Speaker 1: with them on Clark who might be activated today. Got it,
Speaker 1: and then well let's go Is on IR. So you
Speaker 1: got a spot. But if they're really pressed about it,
Speaker 1: I'm more so looking at Watkins versus Gallimore. I think
Speaker 1: I know Gallimore and Hankins are two different players. They
Speaker 1: do two different things, two different assignments. Yeah, but it
Speaker 1: doesn't hurt to have a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: grown man sitting up there. I mean, you start thinking
Speaker 1: about if you get your you know, we talk about
Speaker 1: this bend, but don't break defense, right, So if you
Speaker 1: face the team that is has some kind of effect
Speaker 1: on the ground game, they're better work this thing down
Speaker 1: into the red zone, back you up into the black zone.
Speaker 1: Reactually your back is literally against the goal line. It's
Speaker 1: nice to be able to call upon you know, and
Speaker 1: just call these guys in there, Hey Gallimore, Yeah, exacting them,
Speaker 1: bring them all in. Yeah, and that's when the big
Speaker 1: dude just there and they come out there, you see
Speaker 1: nothing but three forty three thirty sign. It's nice to
Speaker 1: have those options down there because you're a literal wall.
Speaker 1: It's a literal wall on the interior because you know
Speaker 1: that teams can't beat you on the outside with your speed.
Speaker 1: So it's it's you're literally just saying, okay, where are
Speaker 1: we weak at? Okay? Boom And we talked. I talked
Speaker 1: about it in terms of like the three hundred. When
Speaker 1: you think about the movie three hundred and they all
Speaker 1: the guys have their little shields up right, everybody working together.
Speaker 1: There's no cracks, right, but that one person, that one
Speaker 1: person creas a little weakness. Oh that's the crease right there.
Speaker 1: Let's attack behind him. Yeah, and you can. It's it.
Speaker 1: Leonidas warned, if that's it. Leonidas warned, if you did,
Speaker 1: he said, we are only as strong as the unit. Yep.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm so glad that we've brought up three
Speaker 1: hundred references on this show. That's just phoenomenal. This is
Speaker 1: my favorite. All right, Uh, outside is going to show
Speaker 1: you that God's bleep with his defense, He's gonna show
Speaker 1: you that King can bleed. I like it all right.
Speaker 1: There were some other news though, absolutely um. We also
Speaker 1: saw the Cowboys. Not long before they made the trade
Speaker 1: for Jonathan Hankins, they brought on Sheffield Kendall Sheffield to
Speaker 1: the practice squad to help with the death at Nickel
Speaker 1: Corner specifically. Obviously we just mentioned the loss of Jordan Lewis.
Speaker 1: He's expected to go to IR might happen as early
Speaker 1: as today, so you know it's still gonna be de
Speaker 1: Royn Bland getting the headline there. You're gonna see Kelvin
Speaker 1: Joseph fighting with fighting for reps with Nashan Wright, who
Speaker 1: was expected to get his first active game time this
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Chicago Bears, but Kenne shell Field, former
Speaker 1: fourth round pick of guess who the Atlanta Falcons, and
Speaker 1: guess who was the head coach at that time. It
Speaker 1: was one guy named dan Quinn. So he knows him, Yeah,
Speaker 1: knows him quite well, which is going to help him
Speaker 1: acclimate to his system that he has already. He's a
Speaker 1: dan Queen guy. He's a dan Quinn guy. He played
Speaker 1: seven hundred staffs with dan Quinn in twenty nineteen, another
Speaker 1: five twenty five in twenty twenty with dan Quinn, and
Speaker 1: then after dan Quinn left in twenty one he only
Speaker 1: had fifty three snaps. So he's da dad Quinn guy.
Speaker 1: He's only oglissively, Hey dan Quinn, Yeah, yea quite literally
Speaker 1: you want him to be followed two point zero and
Speaker 1: not Keyan O'Neil two points that's that's because it could
Speaker 1: go either way. But again in dan Quinn, I trust
Speaker 1: right until further notice in dan Quin well, and he's
Speaker 1: supposed to be a depth in practice squad guy, right right,
Speaker 1: because you're gonna elevate the guys you already had. Is
Speaker 1: different from what Keyan O'Neil was, And he'll come in
Speaker 1: and he'll he'll compete for a practice squad spot and
Speaker 1: maybe compete to try and get on the active roster.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know who you have
Speaker 1: out right, and it doesn't really change a whole lot.
Speaker 1: And to be fair to Keyan O'Neil, he wasn't just
Speaker 1: brought in to help get some of those starter rips,
Speaker 1: but he was brought in at a change of position, right,
Speaker 1: So they were looking at switching lets him between linebacker whatnot.
Speaker 1: So that was allowed to put on this place, especially
Speaker 1: a veteran who had been in the league so long.
Speaker 1: So that experiment go well, But we have to admit
Speaker 1: that it was an experiment which is different from Sheffield
Speaker 1: practice squad guy. He's coming in to do exactly what
Speaker 1: he's been doing for dan Quinn and the Falcons have
Speaker 1: a question. Now, yeah, this is just just for giggles,
Speaker 1: where it usually comes before that. But yeah, I'm about
Speaker 1: to say, what was the whole part where family giggles?
Speaker 1: Now that you picked up Okay, now you got the
Speaker 1: big fella in the middle. If you were to sign
Speaker 1: one other position or trade or trade this media man yesterday,
Speaker 1: what would make this defense unstoppable? If you were to
Speaker 1: add one more piece on defense? Where now? Where do
Speaker 1: you add it? Though? I'm just asking a question just
Speaker 1: because you added one d linement? Do you feel like
Speaker 1: your your run game is automatically just just secure. I
Speaker 1: think it's it's as close as it can be because
Speaker 1: it wasn't bottom of the league in run defense, right so,
Speaker 1: but do you feel like I we line up like
Speaker 1: nobody can run the ball on him? Do you feel
Speaker 1: that right now? I have to see Hankins. I can't
Speaker 1: say that yet I have to I don't feel that.
Speaker 1: I don't feel that way either. I mean I think
Speaker 1: I think it helps. It helps, yeah, and it helps
Speaker 1: from and look at the you know where the tide
Speaker 1: line was. Right again, you're not saying it helps upgrade
Speaker 1: a thirty second ranked run defense. So what redition would
Speaker 1: you add on defense? I don't have an answer for that.
Speaker 1: But here's why I don't have an answer for that.
Speaker 1: It's because you put Hankins in. Prior to the Hankins move,
Speaker 1: it was you know, we got to do something to
Speaker 1: stop to show up the run defense. Okay, you're gonna
Speaker 1: get Hankins, right, he's proven he's big, all right. So
Speaker 1: then it's like, okay, so you address that you're heavy,
Speaker 1: heavy on the edges, heavy on the edges, You're so
Speaker 1: you are already heavy on the interior line to the
Speaker 1: fact that you were trying to figure out how to
Speaker 1: get guys like Tristan Hills snaps and so forth and
Speaker 1: so on. So then now you move to the linebacker corps. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: Micaul's Michael Anthony Barr's coming on strong. LV is playing very,
Speaker 1: very solid football, despite what the narratives on Twitter might
Speaker 1: tell you. Um to the point where Jabille Cox is
Speaker 1: having a hard time, a virtually impossible time getting on
Speaker 1: the field, and now you're going to throw Damon Clark
Speaker 1: into that room. He's going to start with special teams,
Speaker 1: but before the season is over, he's going to look
Speaker 1: to be a contributor at linebacker. Okay, now you go
Speaker 1: to the secondary. All right, you lost Jordan Lewis split,
Speaker 1: I'm confident in de Ron Blade. We'll see what Sheffield
Speaker 1: still has on this trid. You have Kelvin, Joseph Nashan, right,
Speaker 1: your guy Nahan right, Anthony Brown is better than most
Speaker 1: people will give him credit for. Go to the safety unit.
Speaker 1: I don't even have to dissectly you know what. You know,
Speaker 1: we have some depth there. You know what it is.
Speaker 1: So I don't have an answer for that, because you're
Speaker 1: with the addition of Hankins. I mean, what you got,
Speaker 1: I've got an answer? What's your answer? Did you have
Speaker 1: an answer in mind? Of course I do. You always
Speaker 1: ask a question with an answer in mine? I would
Speaker 1: go get a run stopping corner. Oh yeah, because where's
Speaker 1: your weakness in terms of stopping the run shown throughout
Speaker 1: five of the six games that you've been run on
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, outside the tackles, go get a guy
Speaker 1: that can stop the run as a cornerback. Of course
Speaker 1: we can't say names, but there are some really good
Speaker 1: defenders on the edge that you could set a cornerback
Speaker 1: and then oh, by the way, they can stop the
Speaker 1: run there too. Okay? Thought? Or do you go safety?
Speaker 1: Do you go get a run stopping corner or do
Speaker 1: you ask your corners to be run stoppers? Because it's
Speaker 1: just a decision. I like the letter, I think so,
Speaker 1: it's absolutely I know it is a decision. Would you
Speaker 1: see what? Will they go? Get? It? Like the letter
Speaker 1: Donald Will? I like the lotter goes and get. If
Speaker 1: you're asking me if I would rather pay for my
Speaker 1: coffee or get free coffee, I'm gonna take the free coffee,
Speaker 1: especially if it comes with miller, especially if it's got
Speaker 1: me a lot, especially if it's black rifle. But if
Speaker 1: you if the corners don't have an inability to tackle,
Speaker 1: if the coffee machine is broken, then what do you do?
Speaker 1: It's not broken? Is it broken? It just needs to
Speaker 1: be just what I'm getting. That's you got a jiggle
Speaker 1: to handle. You gotta chi handle a little bit, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So you're thinking, you're saying, if
Speaker 1: if if Dan Quinn and Al Harris had an intervention
Speaker 1: with treyvon Diggs and said you got to stop the run, dude,
Speaker 1: you think he would automatically want us want the smoke
Speaker 1: because you've talked about it. Smoke, No need the smoke. Yes,
Speaker 1: he needs to go be a run stopping corner. Does
Speaker 1: Trey Von Diggs need to go do that? Though? He year,
Speaker 1: but it has in his mind and it helped in
Speaker 1: his mind and it helped. He acted Jalen Ramsey Ish
Speaker 1: a number of times this year and it helped. It's
Speaker 1: been great. It's been great. So yes, every cornerback has
Speaker 1: the ability to be that guy. It has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with size. We just saw how how hard the
Speaker 1: Detroit was running around hitting people. None of that was
Speaker 1: based upon size. I'll tell you who that was all. Well,
Speaker 1: who would love the smoke in the run defense game
Speaker 1: from a cornerback position. Kevin Joseph Absolutely, Covid Joseph would.
Speaker 1: He started to show that. You didn't see that last year.
Speaker 1: So you see the physicality now I've seen it now
Speaker 1: on special teams. Yes, you absolutely can bring it. He
Speaker 1: can transfer that over to the defensive side of the boat.
Speaker 1: What was your answer to your own question, another big
Speaker 1: boy in the middle? You want another? Want another? Another one.
Speaker 1: I want to discourage teams from running up the middle.
Speaker 1: I want you to say, crap, we can't go in there,
Speaker 1: and then you look outside you say, crap, Michael Parsons
Speaker 1: over there, crap, the laws over there, Sam William Teams
Speaker 1: already gone to the second part of it. Absolutely, So
Speaker 1: I'm saying, so when you look outside, you're like, can't
Speaker 1: go out there, can't go out there. Okay, well let's
Speaker 1: just go straight ahead. Imagine if you couldn't go straight
Speaker 1: ahead because you can't move them. You're gonna have some sets,
Speaker 1: plenty of sets where you see Bohannah standing next to
Speaker 1: Hankins and that's the old crap. Yeah, like, so where
Speaker 1: are you gonna put this? See? But I don't I
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think they're both scaring anybody yet
Speaker 1: He's he's capable of making place because they don't know
Speaker 1: any better. Yet. I'm with you on that, telling you
Speaker 1: I want I want two guys in there. Then everybody's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I want to five. I want Tony Sarah Goosa, Sam Adams,
Speaker 1: Helodi Nada. That's what I'm talking about, Like, we are
Speaker 1: not going in there to the Great Goose. You want
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Front, that's what you want. You want
Speaker 1: from from last year, Sue, Yeah, from last year, Sue
Speaker 1: feet of Vey. Both of those guys of one of
Speaker 1: them is a true nose, one of them is a
Speaker 1: true three technique. And it's just like, oh, oh no,
Speaker 1: where do we go? Oh gosh, there's Devin White. And
Speaker 1: exactly because when you step up to the line of
Speaker 1: scrimmage as officers a linement, if there's a run plays
Speaker 1: called we lost, We're gonna lose on one side. Yeah,
Speaker 1: We're going to lose on one side. Physically, I cannot
Speaker 1: move that man. That is the most discouraging mindset in
Speaker 1: the world. When you have a job to do and
Speaker 1: you step to the line, I physically can't move this human.
Speaker 1: I just want to know where you're gonna put the
Speaker 1: third mammoth human in a situation put I'm on the
Speaker 1: line death. I suppose we're talking death now, because again
Speaker 1: you're going to see you don't have a special team's
Speaker 1: problem right now, if you had a special team's problem, right,
Speaker 1: I would say, I would say, I'm with you, right,
Speaker 1: But you don't have a special team's problem because you
Speaker 1: have linebackers and you have defensive lineman playing on special teams.
Speaker 1: So you can add another guy to the defensive front
Speaker 1: on your depth chart on the game day roster and
Speaker 1: still not miss anything special teams wise, that's usually the
Speaker 1: deciding factor on whether or not you put another guy
Speaker 1: in that position. So here's my question for that, and
Speaker 1: I'm not adverse to it, but my question will be,
Speaker 1: are you talking about adding a mercenary who's on the
Speaker 1: street waiting, or are you talking about giving up another
Speaker 1: late rounder for somebody? Now? The latter I don't know
Speaker 1: that I'm on board with, because keep in mind, if
Speaker 1: you typically typically I would say that, And let me
Speaker 1: tell you what I scorched earth stop you know why.
Speaker 1: Though I know about I know you're about to go.
Speaker 1: I'm not about to say hold on, let me finish.
Speaker 1: But listen, the Rams did wet last year. They got
Speaker 1: rid of all the they got rid of all their
Speaker 1: big time picks to go ensure that they walked away
Speaker 1: with a ring. Correct, Sure, Okay, I would be perfectly
Speaker 1: fine giving up late round picks for the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: to go get you a guy who has one job.
Speaker 1: We need you for one job, because what are the
Speaker 1: percentages the chances? I don't want to start this conversation yet,
Speaker 1: but everybody knows what are the chances that you're gonna
Speaker 1: return Dan Quinn next year? Thank you very much? So
Speaker 1: take it and you freaking go. But that's a different
Speaker 1: covers for different conversation. But you freaking go for it.
Speaker 1: If you're talking about six seventh round picks. Come on, now, okay,
Speaker 1: here's how we have We have time within the next
Speaker 1: because typically speaking, you shouldn't overvalue your draft picks, especially
Speaker 1: your late round us, because we can all agree those
Speaker 1: are typically flyer picks. Okay. And what made it easier
Speaker 1: for the Rams to do it was because they don't
Speaker 1: typically draft well. Okay, but when you look at a
Speaker 1: Cowboys team or any club that typically drafts very well,
Speaker 1: you look at this rookie class, both undrafted and drafted,
Speaker 1: you have to wonder, now you got Hankins. Fine, you
Speaker 1: gave up a six, you got a seventh beat for Hankins,
Speaker 1: E C. C. Now if you make another move and
Speaker 1: you give up another late round pick, that question of
Speaker 1: did I just give up a Donovan Wilson, Did I
Speaker 1: just give up an Israel mcquambo, et cetera, that becomes
Speaker 1: more pressing. So if you're talking about a mercenary off
Speaker 1: the street approven mercenary, I'm with that. If you're talking
Speaker 1: about giving up another pick, okay, let's let's kind of
Speaker 1: be balanced here, because you can do what you just
Speaker 1: did and adding Hankins and help make yourself that much
Speaker 1: more so of a contender now without mortgaging the future,
Speaker 1: because you might be able to remain contender for the
Speaker 1: next several years if you walked in line correctly. My
Speaker 1: my fans side of me says, f the pics, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: let's go win. It's not even Friday. Science. My my
Speaker 1: draft analysts and my draft show side says, let's hold
Speaker 1: onto the pis So either way, by that point, we're
Speaker 1: delirious on draft weekend anyways, and we're like, who the
Speaker 1: heck is the Ron Bland. Oh, by the way, it
Speaker 1: might be your starter this week against that Chicago good different.
Speaker 1: Let's take a break. When we come back, we're previewing
Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense versus the Chicago Offense on talking Cowboys.

Speaker 1: But the good news is Todd has AT and T
Speaker 1: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he
Speaker 1: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

Speaker 1: c Walker. All Right, last week when we previewed the
Speaker 1: uh the Lions, it was the Lions defense that you
Speaker 1: decided to say was garbage. Yeah, yeah, you use the
Speaker 1: word trash. They play hard though, okay they did. They
Speaker 1: played really, really hard. What's your initial word? If you
Speaker 1: had to give one word to describe the Bears offense,
Speaker 1: what would it be? Justin fields? I would say they
Speaker 1: were recyclable. Oh, okay, recyclable. We're staying in the same
Speaker 1: same category, the same category. I would say they're recycable
Speaker 1: simply because of the fact that they have justin fields,
Speaker 1: and justin fields is reusable. You know, you know, you might.
Speaker 1: He might have a game where he's where he's down
Speaker 1: and out and you throw him away, but guess what,
Speaker 1: you can use him for something else. He bounces right back,
Speaker 1: so you can't just put him aside. He's a he's
Speaker 1: a threat. He's not gonna light up the stat line,
Speaker 1: but he can. He's a pest. He's a guy that
Speaker 1: just doesn't go aways. Like as soon as you think
Speaker 1: that you have there, have them with their backs against
Speaker 1: the wall, you know, here he goes freaking taking off
Speaker 1: and running for a first down. As soon as you
Speaker 1: think that you have a spy on him, He's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna stop. We're gonna stop him from running now.
Speaker 1: Then he threatens like he's gonna run. He throws the
Speaker 1: ball behind your head right and moves a chain. So
Speaker 1: he he does a good job of moving the chains.
Speaker 1: I think his decision making compared to last year is
Speaker 1: so much better in terms of his Billy just to
Speaker 1: move the chains and put his team in position to
Speaker 1: be have some form of success. Montgomery's not what he
Speaker 1: has been. His office in line is not what they
Speaker 1: what they want them to be, So he's not as
Speaker 1: much of a threat as he has been in recent years. Um,
Speaker 1: and you know you got my boy out of you, Dub.
Speaker 1: You know petis Dante Petz. He's pretty much there there,
Speaker 1: there go juice at the receiver position right now in
Speaker 1: terms of their their lightning bolts. So I think you
Speaker 1: have a handful of guys that you can kind of wrangle,
Speaker 1: but ultimately, if you shut down fields, you shut down
Speaker 1: this entire offense. So rankings wise, they're twenty eighth in
Speaker 1: total yardage. They're dead last in passing yards per game
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty six yards per game through the air.
Speaker 1: Their bottom five in interception rates, sacks allowed, first down
Speaker 1: per game, hunting average. I'm just even going down the
Speaker 1: list at this point. Red zone percentage, goal to go
Speaker 1: percentage their bottom two in the league, and then their
Speaker 1: bottom ten in points per game with eighteen points per game.
Speaker 1: They are number one in one certain area though they
Speaker 1: have the number one rushing offense in the NFL right
Speaker 1: now one hundred and eighty one yards per game. That
Speaker 1: ballooned a little bit because they had plus two hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty last week on Monday Night Football against the Patriots.
Speaker 1: But Patrick, coming off of a short week, what travels
Speaker 1: defense and the running of the football game, and when
Speaker 1: it comes to justin fields, you know, that's that's my
Speaker 1: fellow Georgia boy. Hated to see him go to OSU,
Speaker 1: but he's gonna Bay prospered. He prospered, But what hasn't
Speaker 1: transferred yet to the NFL side of his equation is
Speaker 1: the arm that you saw at Ohio State. And that's
Speaker 1: for several reasons. Obviously, this is going to be the
Speaker 1: second year, second head coaching in as many years. They
Speaker 1: had some losses on the offensive line, so the protection
Speaker 1: is not great, whatever the case may be. But he's
Speaker 1: also thrown six interceptions to five touchdowns. So if you're
Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense, the formula is no different from that
Speaker 1: of Jalen Hurts. You want to try to keep him
Speaker 1: one dimensional and then shut down that dimension. Right. You
Speaker 1: don't want him figuring out how to find his receivers
Speaker 1: against you, because they haven't figured out how to do
Speaker 1: it all season for the most part. So allow him
Speaker 1: to be one dimensional, but shut down that one dimension.
Speaker 1: And that's why you go and get a guy at
Speaker 1: Jonathan Hankins. But you gotta keep eyes on not only fields,
Speaker 1: but we talk about David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert. That's
Speaker 1: another guy who can do some damage out of the
Speaker 1: backfield as well on the ground for the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1: But as an offense on the whole, they're averaging only
Speaker 1: eighteen points per game. They're not lightening up the school board.
Speaker 1: This is a game that you can go in and
Speaker 1: out physical them and should win rather handily. It's if
Speaker 1: you go in and get out physical is when you
Speaker 1: will run into a situation like you ran into against
Speaker 1: Detroit and that you weren't supposed to be as close
Speaker 1: as you were going into the half, but those guys
Speaker 1: just mounted up and they were the ones landing the punches.
Speaker 1: This time around, you need to take the lessons learn
Speaker 1: from Detroit, from that first half in Detroit and the
Speaker 1: second half, and in the second half you were the
Speaker 1: one landing of the Haymakers. If you start doing that early.
Speaker 1: We've seen situations already with the Justin Fields version of
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears where if he starts getting beat up early,
Speaker 1: or if things don't go well, head starts going down,
Speaker 1: the chin starts approaching the chest a little bit, He's
Speaker 1: on the sideline kind of feeling defeated and then things
Speaker 1: can unravel from there. So, yeah, you gotta attack the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears running offense early often and then defeat them
Speaker 1: as far as their morals go, like break their heart
Speaker 1: in the first quarter and they will just basically let
Speaker 1: you have their way over the next three. So what
Speaker 1: kind of run style do they run with? Because I
Speaker 1: know last two weeks you faced two good running teams
Speaker 1: and one was at RPO from Philly, the other one
Speaker 1: was more downhill from Detroit. Are they kind of a mixture?
Speaker 1: They are a mixture of it, and they don't really
Speaker 1: run a whole lot of RPO, but they run a
Speaker 1: lot of zone read in zone sweep, so pretty much
Speaker 1: where they give him the ability to read the in
Speaker 1: man online the scrimmage and either give it or take it,
Speaker 1: much like Philadelphia, but they had a passing option off
Speaker 1: of it, which hints to RP. You think that they
Speaker 1: could add that into they absolutely can. Yeah, they absolutely will,
Speaker 1: especially against the way that Philly put it on tape
Speaker 1: against the defense. Absolutely will still probably at least ten
Speaker 1: to twelve plays from that Philadelphia playbook and they will
Speaker 1: put that into the script. So the way in which
Speaker 1: you prepared for and then the film study that you
Speaker 1: have coming off of Philadelphia, you might want to repeat
Speaker 1: that because a view that because that's exactly what you're
Speaker 1: going to face in Justin Fields. And I agree they're
Speaker 1: going to try they be in Chicago, they're going to
Speaker 1: try to use the blueprint from the Philly game. But
Speaker 1: like I've often said, having the blueprint and having the
Speaker 1: tools to build off of that blueprint, those are two
Speaker 1: different things. When you're talking about the Eagles and Justin Fields,
Speaker 1: you're also talking about DeVante Smith and you're talking about A. J.
Speaker 1: Brown and you're talking about Dallas Goddard. When you're talking
Speaker 1: about the Chicago Bears and Justin Fields, you're talking about
Speaker 1: Darnell Mooney who has no touchdowns through seven games. That
Speaker 1: he was one thousand yard receiver in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: but he has no touchdowns through seven games. You're talking
Speaker 1: about Equinamius Saint Brown who has a career high of
Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty eight yards and he only has
Speaker 1: one touchdown thus far. Is in twenty twenty two. The
Speaker 1: weapons don't equate. Are you saying this offense is trash?
Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying? Am I hearing that correct.
Speaker 1: Their passing. Their passing attack is garbage. Their passing attack
Speaker 1: is garbage nothing. Yeah, I'm so not concerned with the
Speaker 1: passing attack. The run offense though, that's not garbage like that.
Speaker 1: That's something will be concerned about. That is a very
Speaker 1: real threat. Okay, absolutely, But and it's not just me.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, They've got multiple guys that can run the
Speaker 1: football right Herbert's leading the team in Russian right now.
Speaker 1: So the Russian attack is legit passing though that's septic
Speaker 1: tank like. This is a perfect opportunity and here's your say, well,
Speaker 1: perfect opportunity to figure out the cornerback situation outside of
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis being lost. Here you go, you go. So
Speaker 1: with that being said, and with the lack of threats
Speaker 1: on the outside, is there a potential that we spread
Speaker 1: these snaps out within these young quarterbacks working into this
Speaker 1: ball game. We're gonna answer that question when we come
Speaker 1: back on the other side of the break. Here on
Speaker 1: Talking Cowboys, presented by a black Rifle coffee company, Todd
Speaker 1: thought it would be secure to jog in the Cheetahs
Speaker 1: sevent Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought online

Speaker 1: But the good news is Todd has a T and

Speaker 1: Patrick Nosey Walker, Chris being in the back um Kyle
Speaker 1: Yeoman's final segment here of talking Cowboys continuing to preview
Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense and that Chicago offense. So we've established
Speaker 1: the run game is there. We've established they're going to
Speaker 1: do some different things probably than they've done on tape
Speaker 1: at different points throughout the season. But with their being
Speaker 1: such a low threat on the outside from a passing game,
Speaker 1: the number thirty two ranked offense out of thirty two
Speaker 1: terms of throwing the football, right, is this the perfect situation,
Speaker 1: Isaiah to mix in Nashan Right, Kelvin, Joseph de Ron
Speaker 1: Bland and give them an even snap count to try
Speaker 1: and see who is best suited to replace Jordan Lewis.
Speaker 1: Moving forward. You want to see you want to see
Speaker 1: them get their feet wet. Absolutely, they're towing the water. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: no cannon balls. Yeah, I'm with you. I think this
Speaker 1: is a perfect game to do so. I honestly think
Speaker 1: any game is a perfect game to do so. Unless
Speaker 1: you're playing, you know, one of those elite offenses. Then
Speaker 1: that's probably not the game you want to do it,
Speaker 1: but you know, this is a perfect scenario for these
Speaker 1: guys to come in and get some reps and get
Speaker 1: some confidence, to get some good game films that the
Speaker 1: coaches can review it and see ex actually what situations
Speaker 1: who's better situationally um e, so that they so Dan
Speaker 1: Quinn knows where to play and play guys. I mean
Speaker 1: it's been a while and some of these guys have
Speaker 1: been in that position. You know, preseason is preseason, but
Speaker 1: that was weeks ago. That was weeks ago. So now
Speaker 1: you know, these guys get to get out here and compete,
Speaker 1: and I couldn't be more excited for them. So I
Speaker 1: will actually say, let's go ahead and do full cannon ball.
Speaker 1: So this cannonball you might as well, because what you
Speaker 1: what you want to do is use the situation where
Speaker 1: we're talking about. You know you're not and all due
Speaker 1: respect to these guys, but Darrell Mooney is not shaking,
Speaker 1: not making you shaking your boots. Saint Brown's not making
Speaker 1: you shaking your boots. Co commits not making you shaking
Speaker 1: your boots. Thirty second ranked passing offense. So what you
Speaker 1: want to do is get these young guys Kelvin, Joseph
Speaker 1: Nashaun Wright, de Ron Bland, and maybe I don't know
Speaker 1: that they're going to call up Shiffield, but none. Nonetheless,
Speaker 1: get these guys as many reps as possible, because you
Speaker 1: want to try to use this and the bye week
Speaker 1: to sort this out before you face Aaron Rodgers. And
Speaker 1: we know Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers and
Speaker 1: that offense is struggling. But I don't care how much
Speaker 1: that that offense is struggling. I never want Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: versus a completely green cornerback. And if you have more
Speaker 1: than one completely green cornerback, you're really setting yourself up
Speaker 1: for a potential disaster. So going against the Bears offense
Speaker 1: personnel wise, personnel versus personnel, it's perfect. And going into
Speaker 1: a bye week, I do it full cannon ball, no
Speaker 1: toe in the water. So you're saying by toeing the water,
Speaker 1: I think it was basically splitting it evenly. You don't
Speaker 1: want to split evenly. You want whoever's going to be
Speaker 1: in that job moving forward to be in that job
Speaker 1: this week. Oh no, no, what I mean, I'm split
Speaker 1: even wants both of them that that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I'm cool with that. That makes
Speaker 1: no I mean either way, as long as they're getting snaps,
Speaker 1: I'm happy. I want all three of those guys to
Speaker 1: get defensive snaps, not specialty. Because here's my thing. I
Speaker 1: feel like we and we will learn more obviously as
Speaker 1: his career goes along. As I said, season goes along,
Speaker 1: I believe that we are confident enough in what d
Speaker 1: ron Bland can bring so at the moment, at the moment,
Speaker 1: so I will say, this doesn't necessarily have to be
Speaker 1: a you know, ninety five percent snap game defensive snap
Speaker 1: game for d ron Bland. I'm fine if you make
Speaker 1: it a fifty percent snap game for d ron Bland.
Speaker 1: And then you use the risk to kind of change
Speaker 1: personnel groupings and say, okay, now let's try Anthony Brown Kelvin.
Speaker 1: You go out and you get you know, Kelvin Kelvin
Speaker 1: tent snaps and then you say, okay, Kelvin. Now you say, Anthony,
Speaker 1: you stay in the nickel. But hey, Nashan, now you
Speaker 1: go out and then you kind of hey, cannon Ball,
Speaker 1: have your fun, have your fun. This was a mail
Speaker 1: back question. So if you want to read more on
Speaker 1: the answers to that. I had a mail bag answer. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I didn't meaning for that to happen, but it is
Speaker 1: a conversation right now. You you you brought something up
Speaker 1: that kind of put my intent as up. I said,
Speaker 1: you said, you said not against one of those elite offenses.
Speaker 1: You're okay with it not being against an elite offense.
Speaker 1: When's the next elite offense on the schedule? I run
Speaker 1: it down for you. Tell me yes or no. Do
Speaker 1: you think they're elite? And I think this first one
Speaker 1: after the Bears is interesting. Packers right now? No, I agree,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. No, what is what is that time?
Speaker 1: Is that a timing warning to get off the air? Okay?
Speaker 1: I like it? Good? Uh, Minnesota Vikings are they elite?
Speaker 1: The receivers are? I would agree with that? Tealing? And uh, Jefferson,
Speaker 1: did you say tealing? It's actually how you say it,
Speaker 1: by the way. Nope, he's never corrected anybody. I met
Speaker 1: his cousin the other This is breaking news, bets. I
Speaker 1: met his cousin the other day. His cousin plays for ACU,
Speaker 1: and I called their game and I got a chance
Speaker 1: to talk with a couple of players prior to the game,
Speaker 1: and he said, uh, I said, so, Feeling. I was like,
Speaker 1: are you Are you related to Adam? He's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's my cousin. He's like, actually, by the way, it's
Speaker 1: tealing by like and on the pronunciation guy t e
Speaker 1: e capital tee dash lynn li in lowercase in taling. Wow.
Speaker 1: He's like, that's actually how you say it. We just
Speaker 1: never have corrected anybody with him. Well, okay, then, so
Speaker 1: how about that. Uh here at at ESPN, you're at
Speaker 1: a NFL network, Go go check with Adam, go figure
Speaker 1: it out. I'll call him feeling because that's what all
Speaker 1: the pronunciation guys did say. But I did let that
Speaker 1: one slip because that's how I'll call him off the air.
Speaker 1: New York Giants the lead offense, elite caller, but not
Speaker 1: table Uh. Indianapolis definitely not right now. Texans No, No,
Speaker 1: Jackson Jacksonville Nope, getting better, Philadelphia at the end, Nope.
Speaker 1: I'm still I still say no. I think I would
Speaker 1: say yes in that regard. Tennessee in week seventeen, no passing,
Speaker 1: and then Washington at the end. So you've got Minnesota,
Speaker 1: Philly and then a maybe on Green Bay and Tennessee,
Speaker 1: depending on how they play. That's about. That's the elite
Speaker 1: offenses that you've got coming up for this defense that is,
Speaker 1: no doubt, unbelievably elite. It's pretty good odds in my opinion.
Speaker 1: That sounds pretty fun. Yeah, it's a good way to
Speaker 1: wrap up the show, right about that. Go get them.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no other way for me to say.
Speaker 1: It is just just absolutely pin your ears back and
Speaker 1: go get these Go get it against these offenses like
Speaker 1: we're talking about. And obviously it can change on any
Speaker 1: given Sunday, Monday, Thursday, whenever you're playing. But this defensive
Speaker 1: personnel set, led by this defensive coordinator going against the
Speaker 1: offenses you just listed. The most dangerous one as far
Speaker 1: as the ability to both run and pass is going
Speaker 1: to be the Minnesota Vikings. But outside of that, everyone
Speaker 1: can be had more easily. All you need is Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott and this Cowboys offense to find their stride and
Speaker 1: if that happens, and I believe it will happen before
Speaker 1: the season is out, and what better time than November December,
Speaker 1: which then gives you the momentum going into January. So
Speaker 1: we talked about it before you rather half your hiccups
Speaker 1: and your your biggest diversities in the front half of
Speaker 1: the season, the Cowboys did. They're they're getting healthier, and
Speaker 1: they're making Jonathan Hankin's level trade right. They're gonna lose games.
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen. You're not gonna go fifteen and two.
Speaker 1: That's not happening for Cowboys fans out there, despite how
Speaker 1: the matchups look on paper right this second. But you
Speaker 1: still got a chance to win a lot of games.
Speaker 1: So I gotten losing three more somewhere. Got to tune
Speaker 1: into the show to find out where they were. Patrick
Speaker 1: no c Walker, Isaiah stand back, Chris being in the backup.
Speaker 1: Kyle Yeoman, thanks so much for joining us here on
Speaker 1: Talking Cowboys, presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company. We will
Speaker 1: be back tomorrow to break down the Cowboys offense versus
Speaker 1: the Bears defense. Will see what Isaiah thinks about that
Speaker 1: matchup and how Patrick and I can debate it moving forward.
Speaker 1: That does it for us. We'll see tomorrow with more
Speaker 1: Talking Cowboys. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys
