In here from the s WBC studios at 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:53.560 the Star in Frisco, as we preview the Cowboys defense 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:57.640 against that Chicago Bears offense. Today. It's week eight of 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:00.160 the NFL season and the Cowboys are at five and 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:02.200 two and they welcome in the Bears coming up Sunday 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.959 to try and get to six in two at AT 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:08.240 and T Stadium with Patrick No C Walker, Isaiah stand back. 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.319 I'm Kyle Yeoman's gentlemen.

I 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.600 have my I have my sunglasses in my bag. Should 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.760 I pull them out? As kind of hard to look 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:27.080 at it? On transitions and they're starting to kind of dark. Hello, 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:28.760 y'll see it saying. You know what I'm saying. It's 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.240 a little bright shame break like a damn for those 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.160 of you that listen to the audio. He's wearing a bright, 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:38.440 highlighter yellow me on day at my kids school today, 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.759 So I figured I'll participate. I like that like that. 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.440 It's it's Organ neon. No, No, don't do that. Don't 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.240 do that. Don't do that for enough for a fellow 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.680 Pack twelve guy that's fighting words, do that. Don't do 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:56.360 that at all. Seattle SuperSonics neeon. Okay, don't you dare Organ. No, 0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:00.120 don't you bring up a bad word. Nike shoe as 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.040 you have on right? Okay, you know I feel night 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.840 it's something totally different. Okay, the same color. Does have 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:09.600 highlighter yellow Nike shoes on? Yeah, kind of like no, no, 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.560 nothing like I have friends at Man. I don't really 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.720 care for them when they wear their uniform. I just 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.200 Organ is just one of those teams Organ and Washington State. 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.600 It's just like it just makes you cringe. Like if 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:21.079 you're in front of me and you have an Organ 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.120 sticker or a Washington style you might want to get 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:24.919 out the way because if I had, like a if 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.120 I had one of those, if I had one of 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.560 those freaking what's the name was? Crashing cars are legal? No, 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.160 I just always imagine like if I that I could 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:35.959 have a car that had like a blow dart, and 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.240 I can, and it's like, just make your tires go 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.119 flat like I would do that, you would do it? Yeah, 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.440 I have a little you have like a James Bond. 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.560 I could think about a James Bond car with an 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.440 organ freaking sticker on your car. You're getting blow darting 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.000 like a sure style three darts. It is too much. 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.440 I'm not gonna lie to you. I was looking to 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.680 troll you at some point whenever Washington and Washington State 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:02.480 play and I was just gonna wear a Washington stated not, no, 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.160 we would. We would definitely wrestle that day, would we. 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.040 Oh yeah, we were, We would wrestle. D D T 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.440 might have to do it now. But they play on 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.840 THANKSGA Community, so it's we don't even have a ton 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:14.880 of shows. Like it's just kind of walking up to 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.639 me saying those two words, the R and the T 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:24.480 word roll tide. Where the apple? Where does the apple Cup, 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:26.919 Apple Cup. Did you ever win the Apple? Talk about Yeah, 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:31.800 of course, Championship game losers, Let's talk about the Cup. Okay, 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.519 I like it. We do have some news and notes 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.200 to get to because there was a lot that happened yesterday. 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:41.320 We were after we were done, we wrapped, I mean, 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:43.960 we we got done from here. I'm glad they listened 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:45.680 to us in the front office. I'm really happy that 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.080 the front office takes the time every day to listen 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.720 to talking cowboys. You know what I'm saying. Because the 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.240 wisdom and the knowledge that we dropped, the science that 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.640 we dropped, I mean, it's something that you should definitely 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.800 listen to and digest because you probably can utilize this 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.360 to make front office moves. When'd you say there no see? 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.920 I agree? I agree. So yesterday we were filming Hit Sticks. 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.880 He can go and watch it today on Dallas Cowboys 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:09.960 dot com. And right at the end, the question of 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:13.240 the day, which gave away a copy of Madden, it 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.920 was if there was a if there was a wish list, 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.360 if there was a position you could trade for, what 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.520 would it be? And I asked that to Isaiah. I 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:22.760 think Isaiah's got a hot line to the front office. 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:24.480 I think that's what we're not being told here. I 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.599 think he's got the one that that that quick little 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.720 hot line to go to the Jones family and say, hey, listen, 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.080 I want a big, beefy defensive tackle that can stop 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:34.840 the run. Put a bug in the rear. Oh, it 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.000 looks like something like that happened, because that's exactly what 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:38.840 he said on hit Sticks. He said, I want a big, 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.280 beefy defensive tackle that could stop the run and get 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.680 you one. Not but thirty minutes later the Cowboys went 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.480 out and got one, gotcha one. Obviously. That's that's the 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.600 headline that carried yesterday, it's going to carry to day, 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.839 and it's going to carry into uh I mean going forward. Basically. 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.320 Jonathan Hankins, former second round pick of the rival New 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:59.000 York Giants. Cowboys fans should know Jonathan Hankins very well 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.359 from his time spin in New York with Big Blue 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:06.520 and tandem with Damon Snacks Harrison, that run stopping duo. 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.880 Half of them is now here in Dallas, and two 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:15.840 of them six three, three hundred and forty pounds of 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.599 football playing human about to be dropped in the middle 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.440 of the defensive line. For dan Quinn, the rich get 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:26.320 richer that is likely and expected to help show up 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.520 the arguably the only weakness on this defense. And there's 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:31.920 no ramp up period. There's no ramp up And I'm 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.919 glad you brought that up because yesterday someone on Twitter 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.880 kind of not equated it. But they had a question. 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.840 They say, well, is this similar to the don Terry 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.240 Poe signing. No, it's not, because Poe was coming off 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.360 of a torn quad. There is an offseason that he 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.680 needed rehab and recovery and he needed to ramp up. 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.240 It's not even the Jason Peters situation and that Jason 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.160 Peters didn't have any training camp, were needed to ramp 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.120 up or anything like that. Hankins he had thirty combined 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.760 starts over the last two seasons for the Las Vegas Raiders, 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:00.640 and he was active in five of their seven games 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.920 this season. So he's ready right off the tarmac, right 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.160 So he's he's expected to come in here. You know, 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.720 he's already passed the physical. That transaction was made official 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.479 on yesterday, so he could be in practice as early 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.960 as today. Cowboys are hoping to get him on the 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.640 field against the Bears. The Bears team that ran four 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.680 over two hundred and forty yards against the New England Patriots. 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.680 So yeah, no coincidence for the timing. What a move 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:25.920 by the front office though, right, Not only do you 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:30.960 address your knee, like what'd you give up nothing? Six? 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:37.200 But then you next year? Yeah, so the sixth ver 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.240 seven exactly. Great job by the front office, A great, 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.000 great job for this. I think this is the type 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.400 of position, or the type of move that around the league. 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.720 We've sat here on this show many times and said, oh, man, 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.360 why couldn't we have made that move? Why didn't we 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:54.240 make that move? Why didn't we go get that guy? 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.120 We could have given up us, he could have given 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.480 up us fifth round pick. Are you kidding me? This 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.440 is one of those moves where it's like, oh, okay, 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:05.400 we did it that. This is literally the only glaring 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.200 weakness that you had on your defense. And I've been 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.200 sitting here beating my chest about it and just trying 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.800 to drive it home, like there's you have to address 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.000 the run. You can patch yourself on the back and 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:18.440 and sugarcoat it all day long. Teams that can run 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.640 the ball will run the ball against the Dallas Cowboys. 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.120 You don't want to pass against the Dallas Cowboys. So 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.920 if you have the capacity and the personnel to run 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.160 the ball, guess what you're gonna do. You're gonna run. 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.800 It's right. So, as the Dallas Cowboys, if you can't 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.280 always force a team into a passing situation, which they 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.880 necessarily haven't been able to do aside for the fourth 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.560 quarter of last game, then you're gonna have to find 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.680 us a resolution for it. And this was the resolution. 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:45.480 Go out there and find you a big dog who's 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:49.360 proven as of late, not as of they're not back 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.320 in the day in their career, but as of late, 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.400 like as of like a week ago. Then you can 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.360 stop the run and you bring him on your team, 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.680 and you give up hardly anything for it because he's 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:02.440 only thirty years old. He's only thirty years old. He's 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.280 not your last yeervices contract. Right, Great, yep, there you go. 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.080 But wait, there's more? Well, can we I want to 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:10.960 ask this question because I'm glad you brought up Done 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.440 Terry Poe, because that's really the fresh thing on people's 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.720 mind in terms of acquiring a veteran defensive tackle Don 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:19.400 Terry Poe, Don Terry Poe and I want to talk 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.840 about Nevil Gallimore at some point too, and where he 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:27.480 kind of fits into this equation. But with Poe, like 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.400 you said, it was a completely separate situation. But should 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.880 the expectations for Hankins be tempered a little bit? Or 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.199 is this an immediate plug play? You feel good about it, 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:40.640 and let's let's keep on rolling, because it's always tough 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.800 coming into a tough situation or a new situation. However, 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.520 stopping the run and stopping the run in Las Vegas 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.199 the same as as it is in Dallas. Right, Here's 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.360 here's what I would say to that, Don Terry Poe 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:55.480 had extenuating circumstance that should have given you pause, and 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:59.480 in the moment you could have justified justifiably been excited 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.319 about it. I excited about it in the moment, but 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.920 I also took pause because coming off of the quad injury, 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:05.400 so forth and so on. Is he going to get 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.480 back to that? We just mentioned that Hankins is ready 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:12.280 off of the tarmac. He's played games this season, several 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.800 games this season, and I mentioned it in the article 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.599 on the dot com yesterday about to move. He's not 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.400 going to be tasked with playing a lot of reps, 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:23.679 like you're not asking right, You're not asking a lot 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.000 of Hankins, which is a different situation than what you 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:27.839 were asking from Don Terry Poe, who was in the 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.120 same free agency hall as Gerald McCoy. Those two guys 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.600 were supposed to come in and help be the saviors 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.640 of the defensive line at that point, as far as 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.599 the interior and helping out on the edge. This is 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:38.880 a situation where you have a thirty year old with 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.720 a lot left, a lot tread left on his tires. 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:46.120 He's coming in to a very deep rotation of talent. 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:47.840 And we'll get to Nevill gallim On in a second, 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:51.040 but you're also talking about osa Odigi Zuwe. You're talking 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.400 about another building of a man in Quentin Bohanna that 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.199 he's going to be tasked with rotating Chauncey Ghost. And 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.719 so you know, it's a situation right now where you 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.840 get first and second down out of hankins and then 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.760 you hook him right until it's time to put him 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.760 in there for another run defense. And I think those 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:13.360 limited reps, in that limited expectation will allow him to 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.120 stay fresh longer, It would allow him to be more 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.800 impactful because you're not asking a ton. So I mean, 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:23.720 the only thing that's similar between he and Don Terry 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.240 post the fact they played the same position. Okay, that's 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:28.880 basically it. That makes me feel so much better about 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.600 this whole situation, not saying that I was comparing Hankins 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.120 to Pope, completely different players in terms of what they 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.880 do similarly. But like I said, Isaiah, where does Nevill 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.160 Gallimore fit into that fold? Because inactive last week? Why 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.160 why was he inactive again? There was a health issue 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.520 that cropped up. He was medically cleared meta mich McCarthy 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.199 and Steven Jones. But because there was a health issue 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.319 that cropped up, he was It was it came down 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.080 to a coach's decision, which was basically a less than 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.960 one hundred percent Nevill Gallimore or a one hundred percent 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.760 Tristan Hill because Carlos Watkins had just been signed from 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:02.360 the practice squad to the Act four run defense, which 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.880 was kind of a hint at, you know, making the 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:08.160 move for Hankins. So I know that the timing of it. 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:10.839 People are connecting dods and saying, well, is this the 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.640 writing on the wall for Neville Gallimore. I'm more of 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.439 the mindset. I wonder how this impacts a guy like 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.560 Carlos Watkins who's not subject to waivers just yet before 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.840 the trade deadline, and they probably feel that they can 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:23.840 get him back on the practice squad now, they don't 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.240 need to make that move just yet because Joe Lewis 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.640 is going to go to IR. So let's swap Lewis 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.839 with them on Clark who might be activated today. Got it, 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:33.719 and then well let's go Is on IR. So you 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.319 got a spot. But if they're really pressed about it, 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.840 I'm more so looking at Watkins versus Gallimore. I think 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:43.240 I know Gallimore and Hankins are two different players. They 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.599 do two different things, two different assignments. Yeah, but it 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.360 doesn't hurt to have a lot of a lot of 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.600 grown man sitting up there. I mean, you start thinking 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:52.720 about if you get your you know, we talk about 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:54.640 this bend, but don't break defense, right, So if you 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.760 face the team that is has some kind of effect 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.480 on the ground game, they're better work this thing down 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:00.840 into the red zone, back you up into the black zone. 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.400 Reactually your back is literally against the goal line. It's 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:06.040 nice to be able to call upon you know, and 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:10.160 just call these guys in there, Hey Gallimore, Yeah, exacting them, 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.240 bring them all in. Yeah, and that's when the big 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.920 dude just there and they come out there, you see 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.760 nothing but three forty three thirty sign. It's nice to 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.080 have those options down there because you're a literal wall. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.319 It's a literal wall on the interior because you know 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.720 that teams can't beat you on the outside with your speed. 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.320 So it's it's you're literally just saying, okay, where are 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:30.319 we weak at? Okay? Boom And we talked. I talked 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.199 about it in terms of like the three hundred. When 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:33.640 you think about the movie three hundred and they all 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.400 the guys have their little shields up right, everybody working together. 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.040 There's no cracks, right, but that one person, that one 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.240 person creas a little weakness. Oh that's the crease right there. 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.319 Let's attack behind him. Yeah, and you can. It's it. 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.000 Leonidas warned, if that's it. Leonidas warned, if you did, 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.760 he said, we are only as strong as the unit. Yep. 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:50.880 Oh man, I'm so glad that we've brought up three 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:54.520 hundred references on this show. That's just phoenomenal. This is 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.520 my favorite. All right, Uh, outside is going to show 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.719 you that God's bleep with his defense, He's gonna show 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:04.320 you that King can bleed. I like it all right. 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:07.720 There were some other news though, absolutely um. We also 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:11.400 saw the Cowboys. Not long before they made the trade 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:15.880 for Jonathan Hankins, they brought on Sheffield Kendall Sheffield to 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.400 the practice squad to help with the death at Nickel 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.720 Corner specifically. Obviously we just mentioned the loss of Jordan Lewis. 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:23.719 He's expected to go to IR might happen as early 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.760 as today, so you know it's still gonna be de 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.040 Royn Bland getting the headline there. You're gonna see Kelvin 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:32.000 Joseph fighting with fighting for reps with Nashan Wright, who 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.800 was expected to get his first active game time this 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:38.040 Sunday against the Chicago Bears, but Kenne shell Field, former 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.120 fourth round pick of guess who the Atlanta Falcons, and 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.439 guess who was the head coach at that time. It 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:47.080 was one guy named dan Quinn. So he knows him, Yeah, 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.560 knows him quite well, which is going to help him 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.640 acclimate to his system that he has already. He's a 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:54.800 dan Queen guy. He's a dan Quinn guy. He played 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.720 seven hundred staffs with dan Quinn in twenty nineteen, another 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:01.000 five twenty five in twenty twenty with dan Quinn, and 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:03.800 then after dan Quinn left in twenty one he only 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.559 had fifty three snaps. So he's da dad Quinn guy. 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:12.600 He's only oglissively, Hey dan Quinn, Yeah, yea quite literally 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:14.880 you want him to be followed two point zero and 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:19.320 not Keyan O'Neil two points that's that's because it could 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.160 go either way. But again in dan Quinn, I trust 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:26.440 right until further notice in dan Quin well, and he's 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.840 supposed to be a depth in practice squad guy, right right, 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:31.920 because you're gonna elevate the guys you already had. Is 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.000 different from what Keyan O'Neil was, And he'll come in 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.680 and he'll he'll compete for a practice squad spot and 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.640 maybe compete to try and get on the active roster. 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.280 But at the same time, you know who you have 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.400 out right, and it doesn't really change a whole lot. 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.680 And to be fair to Keyan O'Neil, he wasn't just 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.320 brought in to help get some of those starter rips, 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.440 but he was brought in at a change of position, right, 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.760 So they were looking at switching lets him between linebacker whatnot. 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:56.360 So that was allowed to put on this place, especially 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:57.800 a veteran who had been in the league so long. 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:02.520 So that experiment go well, But we have to admit 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:04.880 that it was an experiment which is different from Sheffield 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:06.960 practice squad guy. He's coming in to do exactly what 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:08.800 he's been doing for dan Quinn and the Falcons have 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.560 a question. Now, yeah, this is just just for giggles, 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.400 where it usually comes before that. But yeah, I'm about 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:19.840 to say, what was the whole part where family giggles? 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.440 Now that you picked up Okay, now you got the 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:28.360 big fella in the middle. If you were to sign 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:34.160 one other position or trade or trade this media man yesterday, 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.880 what would make this defense unstoppable? If you were to 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:40.520 add one more piece on defense? Where now? Where do 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.480 you add it? Though? I'm just asking a question just 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:45.080 because you added one d linement? Do you feel like 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:49.160 your your run game is automatically just just secure. I 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.880 think it's it's as close as it can be because 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:56.200 it wasn't bottom of the league in run defense, right so, 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:58.320 but do you feel like I we line up like 0:15:58.360 --> 0:15:59.920 nobody can run the ball on him? Do you feel 0:15:59.920 --> 0:16:01.600 that right now? I have to see Hankins. I can't 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:02.880 say that yet I have to I don't feel that. 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:04.200 I don't feel that way either. I mean I think 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:07.360 I think it helps. It helps, yeah, and it helps 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:11.280 from and look at the you know where the tide 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.960 line was. Right again, you're not saying it helps upgrade 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:17.840 a thirty second ranked run defense. So what redition would 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.920 you add on defense? I don't have an answer for that. 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:22.960 But here's why I don't have an answer for that. 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.400 It's because you put Hankins in. Prior to the Hankins move, 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.080 it was you know, we got to do something to 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.920 stop to show up the run defense. Okay, you're gonna 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:36.120 get Hankins, right, he's proven he's big, all right. So 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.280 then it's like, okay, so you address that you're heavy, 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:43.040 heavy on the edges, heavy on the edges, You're so 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.360 you are already heavy on the interior line to the 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:47.320 fact that you were trying to figure out how to 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.840 get guys like Tristan Hills snaps and so forth and 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.680 so on. So then now you move to the linebacker corps. Okay, well, 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:56.200 Micaul's Michael Anthony Barr's coming on strong. LV is playing very, 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.880 very solid football, despite what the narratives on Twitter might 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.920 tell you. Um to the point where Jabille Cox is 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:04.359 having a hard time, a virtually impossible time getting on 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.520 the field, and now you're going to throw Damon Clark 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:08.520 into that room. He's going to start with special teams, 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.359 but before the season is over, he's going to look 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.520 to be a contributor at linebacker. Okay, now you go 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.080 to the secondary. All right, you lost Jordan Lewis split, 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.080 I'm confident in de Ron Blade. We'll see what Sheffield 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.199 still has on this trid. You have Kelvin, Joseph Nashan, right, 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:25.400 your guy Nahan right, Anthony Brown is better than most 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:29.080 people will give him credit for. Go to the safety unit. 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.920 I don't even have to dissectly you know what. You know, 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:33.560 we have some depth there. You know what it is. 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.760 So I don't have an answer for that, because you're 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.880 with the addition of Hankins. I mean, what you got, 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:42.440 I've got an answer? What's your answer? Did you have 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:44.560 an answer in mind? Of course I do. You always 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:47.640 ask a question with an answer in mine? I would 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:51.800 go get a run stopping corner. Oh yeah, because where's 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.240 your weakness in terms of stopping the run shown throughout 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:56.600 five of the six games that you've been run on 0:17:56.800 --> 0:18:00.239 this year. Yeah, outside the tackles, go get a guy 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.480 that can stop the run as a cornerback. Of course 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.760 we can't say names, but there are some really good 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:08.240 defenders on the edge that you could set a cornerback 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:09.840 and then oh, by the way, they can stop the 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:13.720 run there too. Okay? Thought? Or do you go safety? 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:15.600 Do you go get a run stopping corner or do 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:18.520 you ask your corners to be run stoppers? Because it's 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.480 just a decision. I like the letter, I think so, 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.920 it's absolutely I know it is a decision. Would you 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.520 see what? Will they go? Get? It? Like the letter 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.720 Donald Will? I like the lotter goes and get. If 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:32.399 you're asking me if I would rather pay for my 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.359 coffee or get free coffee, I'm gonna take the free coffee, 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:37.600 especially if it comes with miller, especially if it's got 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:41.080 me a lot, especially if it's black rifle. But if 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:43.800 you if the corners don't have an inability to tackle, 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:45.800 if the coffee machine is broken, then what do you do? 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:47.879 It's not broken? Is it broken? It just needs to 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:49.920 be just what I'm getting. That's you got a jiggle 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.040 to handle. You gotta chi handle a little bit, you 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:55.080 know what I'm saying. So you're thinking, you're saying, if 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:58.400 if if Dan Quinn and Al Harris had an intervention 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:00.880 with treyvon Diggs and said you got to stop the run, dude, 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:03.760 you think he would automatically want us want the smoke 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:07.560 because you've talked about it. Smoke, No need the smoke. Yes, 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.160 he needs to go be a run stopping corner. Does 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:14.560 Trey Von Diggs need to go do that? Though? He year, 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.040 but it has in his mind and it helped in 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:20.640 his mind and it helped. He acted Jalen Ramsey Ish 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:22.960 a number of times this year and it helped. It's 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:26.360 been great. It's been great. So yes, every cornerback has 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.080 the ability to be that guy. It has nothing to 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:32.280 do with size. We just saw how how hard the 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:34.680 Detroit was running around hitting people. None of that was 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.000 based upon size. I'll tell you who that was all. Well, 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:39.400 who would love the smoke in the run defense game 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:43.080 from a cornerback position. Kevin Joseph Absolutely, Covid Joseph would. 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:45.840 He started to show that. You didn't see that last year. 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:49.439 So you see the physicality now I've seen it now 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:51.960 on special teams. Yes, you absolutely can bring it. He 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:54.120 can transfer that over to the defensive side of the boat. 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:57.000 What was your answer to your own question, another big 0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:00.479 boy in the middle? You want another? Want another? Another one. 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:02.960 I want to discourage teams from running up the middle. 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:06.280 I want you to say, crap, we can't go in there, 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.600 and then you look outside you say, crap, Michael Parsons 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:12.880 over there, crap, the laws over there, Sam William Teams 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.879 already gone to the second part of it. Absolutely, So 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:18.000 I'm saying, so when you look outside, you're like, can't 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:20.040 go out there, can't go out there. Okay, well let's 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:22.400 just go straight ahead. Imagine if you couldn't go straight 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:25.320 ahead because you can't move them. You're gonna have some sets, 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.359 plenty of sets where you see Bohannah standing next to 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:31.880 Hankins and that's the old crap. Yeah, like, so where 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:32.879 are you gonna put this? See? But I don't I 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:35.399 don't think. I don't think they're both scaring anybody yet 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:37.280 He's he's capable of making place because they don't know 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:40.480 any better. Yet. I'm with you on that, telling you 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:43.199 I want I want two guys in there. Then everybody's like, oh, 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:47.560 I want to five. I want Tony Sarah Goosa, Sam Adams, 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.520 Helodi Nada. That's what I'm talking about, Like, we are 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.560 not going in there to the Great Goose. You want 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:56.000 the Tampa Bay Front, that's what you want. You want 0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:59.760 from from last year, Sue, Yeah, from last year, Sue 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:02.240 feet of Vey. Both of those guys of one of 0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:03.600 them is a true nose, one of them is a 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:06.000 true three technique. And it's just like, oh, oh no, 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:08.760 where do we go? Oh gosh, there's Devin White. And 0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:10.680 exactly because when you step up to the line of 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:12.720 scrimmage as officers a linement, if there's a run plays 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:14.800 called we lost, We're gonna lose on one side. Yeah, 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:18.080 We're going to lose on one side. Physically, I cannot 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:22.440 move that man. That is the most discouraging mindset in 0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:24.280 the world. When you have a job to do and 0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:27.880 you step to the line, I physically can't move this human. 0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:29.600 I just want to know where you're gonna put the 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:32.480 third mammoth human in a situation put I'm on the 0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:35.160 line death. I suppose we're talking death now, because again 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:36.920 you're going to see you don't have a special team's 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:38.919 problem right now, if you had a special team's problem, right, 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:40.879 I would say, I would say, I'm with you, right, 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:42.800 But you don't have a special team's problem because you 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:46.200 have linebackers and you have defensive lineman playing on special teams. 0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:48.920 So you can add another guy to the defensive front 0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:51.320 on your depth chart on the game day roster and 0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:54.000 still not miss anything special teams wise, that's usually the 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:57.000 deciding factor on whether or not you put another guy 0:21:57.040 --> 0:21:58.480 in that position. So here's my question for that, and 0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:00.119 I'm not adverse to it, but my question will be, 0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:04.359 are you talking about adding a mercenary who's on the 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:07.879 street waiting, or are you talking about giving up another 0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:10.600 late rounder for somebody? Now? The latter I don't know 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:13.119 that I'm on board with, because keep in mind, if 0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:16.680 you typically typically I would say that, And let me 0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:21.239 tell you what I scorched earth stop you know why. 0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:23.000 Though I know about I know you're about to go. 0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:24.720 I'm not about to say hold on, let me finish. 0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:27.760 But listen, the Rams did wet last year. They got 0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:29.280 rid of all the they got rid of all their 0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:32.960 big time picks to go ensure that they walked away 0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:35.880 with a ring. Correct, Sure, Okay, I would be perfectly 0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:40.240 fine giving up late round picks for the Dallas Cowboys 0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:42.800 to go get you a guy who has one job. 0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:45.680 We need you for one job, because what are the 0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:48.199 percentages the chances? I don't want to start this conversation yet, 0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:50.600 but everybody knows what are the chances that you're gonna 0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:54.000 return Dan Quinn next year? Thank you very much? So 0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:57.160 take it and you freaking go. But that's a different 0:22:57.200 --> 0:22:59.680 covers for different conversation. But you freaking go for it. 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:02.840 If you're talking about six seventh round picks. Come on, now, okay, 0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:05.800 here's how we have We have time within the next 0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:12.720 because typically speaking, you shouldn't overvalue your draft picks, especially 0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:14.520 your late round us, because we can all agree those 0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:18.280 are typically flyer picks. Okay. And what made it easier 0:23:18.480 --> 0:23:20.600 for the Rams to do it was because they don't 0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:23.040 typically draft well. Okay, but when you look at a 0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:26.360 Cowboys team or any club that typically drafts very well, 0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:29.159 you look at this rookie class, both undrafted and drafted, 0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:31.639 you have to wonder, now you got Hankins. Fine, you 0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:33.320 gave up a six, you got a seventh beat for Hankins, 0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:35.119 E C. C. Now if you make another move and 0:23:35.160 --> 0:23:37.960 you give up another late round pick, that question of 0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:39.760 did I just give up a Donovan Wilson, Did I 0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:42.679 just give up an Israel mcquambo, et cetera, that becomes 0:23:42.760 --> 0:23:45.080 more pressing. So if you're talking about a mercenary off 0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:47.760 the street approven mercenary, I'm with that. If you're talking 0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:49.760 about giving up another pick, okay, let's let's kind of 0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:52.000 be balanced here, because you can do what you just 0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:54.639 did and adding Hankins and help make yourself that much 0:23:54.680 --> 0:23:57.879 more so of a contender now without mortgaging the future, 0:23:57.920 --> 0:24:01.240 because you might be able to remain contender for the 0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:03.879 next several years if you walked in line correctly. My 0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:10.360 my fans side of me says, f the pics, Yes, yes, 0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:14.200 let's go win. It's not even Friday. Science. My my 0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:17.600 draft analysts and my draft show side says, let's hold 0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:22.240 onto the pis So either way, by that point, we're 0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:25.040 delirious on draft weekend anyways, and we're like, who the 0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:27.200 heck is the Ron Bland. Oh, by the way, it 0:24:27.359 --> 0:24:36.560 might be your starter this week against that Chicago good different. 0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:39.000 Let's take a break. When we come back, we're previewing 0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:42.520 the Cowboys defense versus the Chicago Offense on talking Cowboys. 0:24:44.200 --> 0:24:46.880 When you build, you start with the foundation, and home 0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:50.120 ownership is a foundation of a stable future.

It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he 0:25:59.160 --> 0:26:01.159 learned the best thing to do is stop running and 0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:04.080 toss her the backpack with the beef stew At T 0:26:04.240 --> 0:26:08.159 five G fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated.

Isaiah stand Backpatrick no 0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:24.320 c Walker. All Right, last week when we previewed the 0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:28.000 uh the Lions, it was the Lions defense that you 0:27:28.200 --> 0:27:32.159 decided to say was garbage. Yeah, yeah, you use the 0:27:32.240 --> 0:27:36.480 word trash. They play hard though, okay they did. They 0:27:36.560 --> 0:27:39.320 played really, really hard. What's your initial word? If you 0:27:39.400 --> 0:27:42.400 had to give one word to describe the Bears offense, 0:27:42.960 --> 0:27:47.800 what would it be? Justin fields? I would say they 0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:51.640 were recyclable. Oh, okay, recyclable. We're staying in the same 0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:54.320 same category, the same category. I would say they're recycable 0:27:54.440 --> 0:27:57.320 simply because of the fact that they have justin fields, 0:27:57.400 --> 0:28:00.199 and justin fields is reusable. You know, you know, you might. 0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:02.240 He might have a game where he's where he's down 0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:03.879 and out and you throw him away, but guess what, 0:28:04.000 --> 0:28:05.960 you can use him for something else. He bounces right back, 0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:08.240 so you can't just put him aside. He's a he's 0:28:08.240 --> 0:28:10.320 a threat. He's not gonna light up the stat line, 0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:12.760 but he can. He's a pest. He's a guy that 0:28:12.880 --> 0:28:15.199 just doesn't go aways. Like as soon as you think 0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:17.240 that you have there, have them with their backs against 0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:20.080 the wall, you know, here he goes freaking taking off 0:28:20.119 --> 0:28:22.040 and running for a first down. As soon as you 0:28:22.119 --> 0:28:23.720 think that you have a spy on him, He's like, Okay, 0:28:23.720 --> 0:28:25.560 we're not gonna stop. We're gonna stop him from running now. 0:28:25.960 --> 0:28:27.720 Then he threatens like he's gonna run. He throws the 0:28:27.760 --> 0:28:29.680 ball behind your head right and moves a chain. So 0:28:29.800 --> 0:28:32.000 he he does a good job of moving the chains. 0:28:32.000 --> 0:28:33.879 I think his decision making compared to last year is 0:28:33.920 --> 0:28:36.200 so much better in terms of his Billy just to 0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:39.840 move the chains and put his team in position to 0:28:40.200 --> 0:28:42.920 be have some form of success. Montgomery's not what he 0:28:43.040 --> 0:28:44.760 has been. His office in line is not what they 0:28:44.880 --> 0:28:47.200 what they want them to be, So he's not as 0:28:47.320 --> 0:28:49.920 much of a threat as he has been in recent years. Um, 0:28:50.280 --> 0:28:52.000 and you know you got my boy out of you, Dub. 0:28:52.240 --> 0:28:55.280 You know petis Dante Petz. He's pretty much there there, 0:28:55.360 --> 0:28:57.760 there go juice at the receiver position right now in 0:28:57.880 --> 0:29:00.040 terms of their their lightning bolts. So I think you 0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:02.480 have a handful of guys that you can kind of wrangle, 0:29:02.600 --> 0:29:05.239 but ultimately, if you shut down fields, you shut down 0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:08.280 this entire offense. So rankings wise, they're twenty eighth in 0:29:08.400 --> 0:29:12.200 total yardage. They're dead last in passing yards per game 0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:14.720 one hundred and twenty six yards per game through the air. 0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:19.440 Their bottom five in interception rates, sacks allowed, first down 0:29:19.800 --> 0:29:23.360 per game, hunting average. I'm just even going down the 0:29:23.400 --> 0:29:26.640 list at this point. Red zone percentage, goal to go 0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:30.320 percentage their bottom two in the league, and then their 0:29:30.680 --> 0:29:33.840 bottom ten in points per game with eighteen points per game. 0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:37.440 They are number one in one certain area though they 0:29:37.520 --> 0:29:41.719 have the number one rushing offense in the NFL right 0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:44.480 now one hundred and eighty one yards per game. That 0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:46.760 ballooned a little bit because they had plus two hundred 0:29:46.800 --> 0:29:50.960 and twenty last week on Monday Night Football against the Patriots. 0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:54.200 But Patrick, coming off of a short week, what travels 0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:58.360 defense and the running of the football game, and when 0:29:58.400 --> 0:30:01.160 it comes to justin fields, you know, that's that's my 0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:04.320 fellow Georgia boy. Hated to see him go to OSU, 0:30:04.480 --> 0:30:08.280 but he's gonna Bay prospered. He prospered, But what hasn't 0:30:08.320 --> 0:30:12.160 transferred yet to the NFL side of his equation is 0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:15.200 the arm that you saw at Ohio State. And that's 0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:17.480 for several reasons. Obviously, this is going to be the 0:30:17.600 --> 0:30:21.040 second year, second head coaching in as many years. They 0:30:21.120 --> 0:30:23.600 had some losses on the offensive line, so the protection 0:30:23.720 --> 0:30:25.840 is not great, whatever the case may be. But he's 0:30:25.880 --> 0:30:28.800 also thrown six interceptions to five touchdowns. So if you're 0:30:28.840 --> 0:30:31.360 the Cowboys defense, the formula is no different from that 0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:33.880 of Jalen Hurts. You want to try to keep him 0:30:33.920 --> 0:30:36.600 one dimensional and then shut down that dimension. Right. You 0:30:36.640 --> 0:30:40.160 don't want him figuring out how to find his receivers 0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:42.200 against you, because they haven't figured out how to do 0:30:42.280 --> 0:30:44.800 it all season for the most part. So allow him 0:30:44.840 --> 0:30:47.320 to be one dimensional, but shut down that one dimension. 0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:48.480 And that's why you go and get a guy at 0:30:48.520 --> 0:30:51.800 Jonathan Hankins. But you gotta keep eyes on not only fields, 0:30:52.320 --> 0:30:55.920 but we talk about David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert. That's 0:30:55.960 --> 0:30:58.040 another guy who can do some damage out of the 0:30:58.080 --> 0:31:00.280 backfield as well on the ground for the Chicago Bears. 0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:04.320 But as an offense on the whole, they're averaging only 0:31:04.360 --> 0:31:08.160 eighteen points per game. They're not lightening up the school board. 0:31:08.680 --> 0:31:11.160 This is a game that you can go in and 0:31:11.280 --> 0:31:15.800 out physical them and should win rather handily. It's if 0:31:15.920 --> 0:31:18.400 you go in and get out physical is when you 0:31:18.440 --> 0:31:20.760 will run into a situation like you ran into against 0:31:20.800 --> 0:31:23.800 Detroit and that you weren't supposed to be as close 0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:26.040 as you were going into the half, but those guys 0:31:26.120 --> 0:31:28.360 just mounted up and they were the ones landing the punches. 0:31:28.440 --> 0:31:30.320 This time around, you need to take the lessons learn 0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:32.520 from Detroit, from that first half in Detroit and the 0:31:32.640 --> 0:31:34.640 second half, and in the second half you were the 0:31:34.720 --> 0:31:37.360 one landing of the Haymakers. If you start doing that early. 0:31:37.480 --> 0:31:41.840 We've seen situations already with the Justin Fields version of 0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:44.760 the Chicago Bears where if he starts getting beat up early, 0:31:44.960 --> 0:31:48.120 or if things don't go well, head starts going down, 0:31:48.280 --> 0:31:50.720 the chin starts approaching the chest a little bit, He's 0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:53.400 on the sideline kind of feeling defeated and then things 0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:56.640 can unravel from there. So, yeah, you gotta attack the 0:31:56.760 --> 0:32:03.080 Chicago Bears running offense early often and then defeat them 0:32:03.280 --> 0:32:05.600 as far as their morals go, like break their heart 0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:07.840 in the first quarter and they will just basically let 0:32:07.880 --> 0:32:11.120 you have their way over the next three. So what 0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:13.160 kind of run style do they run with? Because I 0:32:13.240 --> 0:32:16.440 know last two weeks you faced two good running teams 0:32:16.520 --> 0:32:18.719 and one was at RPO from Philly, the other one 0:32:18.880 --> 0:32:23.080 was more downhill from Detroit. Are they kind of a mixture? 0:32:23.320 --> 0:32:25.080 They are a mixture of it, and they don't really 0:32:25.160 --> 0:32:26.720 run a whole lot of RPO, but they run a 0:32:26.760 --> 0:32:29.479 lot of zone read in zone sweep, so pretty much 0:32:29.520 --> 0:32:31.200 where they give him the ability to read the in 0:32:31.320 --> 0:32:33.640 man online the scrimmage and either give it or take it, 0:32:33.840 --> 0:32:36.760 much like Philadelphia, but they had a passing option off 0:32:36.800 --> 0:32:38.600 of it, which hints to RP. You think that they 0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:41.560 could add that into they absolutely can. Yeah, they absolutely will, 0:32:42.080 --> 0:32:44.520 especially against the way that Philly put it on tape 0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:47.000 against the defense. Absolutely will still probably at least ten 0:32:47.080 --> 0:32:50.160 to twelve plays from that Philadelphia playbook and they will 0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:52.120 put that into the script. So the way in which 0:32:52.160 --> 0:32:56.120 you prepared for and then the film study that you 0:32:56.200 --> 0:32:58.600 have coming off of Philadelphia, you might want to repeat 0:32:58.680 --> 0:33:01.520 that because a view that because that's exactly what you're 0:33:01.520 --> 0:33:04.280 going to face in Justin Fields. And I agree they're 0:33:04.320 --> 0:33:06.120 going to try they be in Chicago, they're going to 0:33:06.200 --> 0:33:09.120 try to use the blueprint from the Philly game. But 0:33:09.360 --> 0:33:12.240 like I've often said, having the blueprint and having the 0:33:12.320 --> 0:33:14.440 tools to build off of that blueprint, those are two 0:33:14.520 --> 0:33:17.960 different things. When you're talking about the Eagles and Justin Fields, 0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:20.200 you're also talking about DeVante Smith and you're talking about A. J. 0:33:20.280 --> 0:33:22.240 Brown and you're talking about Dallas Goddard. When you're talking 0:33:22.240 --> 0:33:25.320 about the Chicago Bears and Justin Fields, you're talking about 0:33:25.520 --> 0:33:29.480 Darnell Mooney who has no touchdowns through seven games. That 0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:31.400 he was one thousand yard receiver in twenty twenty one, 0:33:31.440 --> 0:33:33.240 but he has no touchdowns through seven games. You're talking 0:33:33.240 --> 0:33:36.040 about Equinamius Saint Brown who has a career high of 0:33:36.040 --> 0:33:38.600 three hundred and twenty eight yards and he only has 0:33:38.640 --> 0:33:41.440 one touchdown thus far. Is in twenty twenty two. The 0:33:41.520 --> 0:33:45.520 weapons don't equate. Are you saying this offense is trash? 0:33:46.000 --> 0:33:48.360 Is that what you're saying? Am I hearing that correct. 0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:51.680 Their passing. Their passing attack is garbage. Their passing attack 0:33:51.760 --> 0:33:54.560 is garbage nothing. Yeah, I'm so not concerned with the 0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:57.960 passing attack. The run offense though, that's not garbage like that. 0:33:58.280 --> 0:34:00.360 That's something will be concerned about. That is a very 0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:03.280 real threat. Okay, absolutely, But and it's not just me. 0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:06.640 Yeah no, They've got multiple guys that can run the 0:34:06.680 --> 0:34:10.880 football right Herbert's leading the team in Russian right now. 0:34:11.000 --> 0:34:16.360 So the Russian attack is legit passing though that's septic 0:34:16.440 --> 0:34:19.560 tank like. This is a perfect opportunity and here's your say, well, 0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:23.640 perfect opportunity to figure out the cornerback situation outside of 0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:26.640 Jordan Lewis being lost. Here you go, you go. So 0:34:26.840 --> 0:34:29.320 with that being said, and with the lack of threats 0:34:29.360 --> 0:34:32.760 on the outside, is there a potential that we spread 0:34:32.880 --> 0:34:37.000 these snaps out within these young quarterbacks working into this 0:34:37.120 --> 0:34:38.960 ball game. We're gonna answer that question when we come 0:34:39.000 --> 0:34:41.520 back on the other side of the break. Here on 0:34:41.600 --> 0:34:45.600 Talking Cowboys, presented by a black Rifle coffee company, Todd 0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:47.520 thought it would be secure to jog in the Cheetahs 0:34:47.520 --> 0:34:50.480 sevent Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought online 0:34:50.640 --> 0:34:53.320 was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be faster 0:34:53.520 --> 0:34:55.759 than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. 0:34:56.320 --> 0:34:57.960 But the good news is Todd has a T and 0:34:58.000 --> 0:35:00.840 T five G.

Give me your for all those 0:37:45.719 --> 0:37:47.439 I like to fire up to grill. It's about time 0:37:47.480 --> 0:37:49.839 you get that grill fired up because in about four 0:37:49.920 --> 0:37:51.920 weeks it's about to be it's about the go. It's 0:37:51.920 --> 0:37:54.239 about to go down. Yeah, time you get that thing 0:37:54.360 --> 0:37:56.600 fired up to I thought about that too, Get them greats, 0:37:56.640 --> 0:37:58.800 get the whole thing, get the liner cleaned out all that. 0:37:59.360 --> 0:38:02.480 Last night I I grilled. I grilled on the stovetop 0:38:02.600 --> 0:38:04.360 just because I was lazy and I didn't want to 0:38:04.400 --> 0:38:06.640 get the grill going and stuff. And I was sitting there, 0:38:06.640 --> 0:38:08.239 I was like, man, why am I so lazy? I'm 0:38:08.239 --> 0:38:09.920 never gonna get to use that grill starting in like 0:38:10.040 --> 0:38:12.200 three weeks, Like there's no way. I was like, I 0:38:12.239 --> 0:38:16.600 shouldn't just do it. Yeah, I'm gonna get some I'm 0:38:16.600 --> 0:38:20.200 gonna get some steaks or something, treat the fiance. You 0:38:20.280 --> 0:38:23.480 need a steak sponsor. I like that idea, Isaiah stand back, 0:38:23.520 --> 0:38:25.600 Patrick Nosey Walker, Chris being in the back um Kyle 0:38:25.680 --> 0:38:29.200 Yeoman's final segment here of talking Cowboys continuing to preview 0:38:29.360 --> 0:38:33.840 the Cowboys defense and that Chicago offense. So we've established 0:38:33.840 --> 0:38:35.800 the run game is there. We've established they're going to 0:38:35.880 --> 0:38:38.640 do some different things probably than they've done on tape 0:38:38.680 --> 0:38:41.879 at different points throughout the season. But with their being 0:38:42.160 --> 0:38:45.200 such a low threat on the outside from a passing game, 0:38:45.280 --> 0:38:48.279 the number thirty two ranked offense out of thirty two 0:38:48.719 --> 0:38:52.080 terms of throwing the football, right, is this the perfect situation, 0:38:52.800 --> 0:38:56.560 Isaiah to mix in Nashan Right, Kelvin, Joseph de Ron 0:38:56.640 --> 0:38:59.000 Bland and give them an even snap count to try 0:38:59.080 --> 0:39:02.520 and see who is best suited to replace Jordan Lewis. 0:39:02.600 --> 0:39:04.200 Moving forward. You want to see you want to see 0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:07.600 them get their feet wet. Absolutely, they're towing the water. Yes, okay, 0:39:07.680 --> 0:39:09.640 no cannon balls. Yeah, I'm with you. I think this 0:39:09.719 --> 0:39:11.839 is a perfect game to do so. I honestly think 0:39:11.880 --> 0:39:13.680 any game is a perfect game to do so. Unless 0:39:13.680 --> 0:39:16.319 you're playing, you know, one of those elite offenses. Then 0:39:16.360 --> 0:39:17.640 that's probably not the game you want to do it, 0:39:17.920 --> 0:39:19.480 but you know, this is a perfect scenario for these 0:39:19.560 --> 0:39:21.000 guys to come in and get some reps and get 0:39:21.040 --> 0:39:23.120 some confidence, to get some good game films that the 0:39:23.160 --> 0:39:25.640 coaches can review it and see ex actually what situations 0:39:25.680 --> 0:39:28.799 who's better situationally um e, so that they so Dan 0:39:28.880 --> 0:39:30.560 Quinn knows where to play and play guys. I mean 0:39:30.600 --> 0:39:31.880 it's been a while and some of these guys have 0:39:31.960 --> 0:39:34.600 been in that position. You know, preseason is preseason, but 0:39:34.680 --> 0:39:37.799 that was weeks ago. That was weeks ago. So now 0:39:38.120 --> 0:39:39.800 you know, these guys get to get out here and compete, 0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:41.759 and I couldn't be more excited for them. So I 0:39:41.840 --> 0:39:44.759 will actually say, let's go ahead and do full cannon ball. 0:39:44.880 --> 0:39:48.040 So this cannonball you might as well, because what you 0:39:48.200 --> 0:39:51.480 what you want to do is use the situation where 0:39:51.520 --> 0:39:53.920 we're talking about. You know you're not and all due 0:39:53.920 --> 0:39:56.920 respect to these guys, but Darrell Mooney is not shaking, 0:39:57.120 --> 0:39:59.279 not making you shaking your boots. Saint Brown's not making 0:39:59.320 --> 0:40:01.240 you shaking your boots. Co commits not making you shaking 0:40:01.280 --> 0:40:03.800 your boots. Thirty second ranked passing offense. So what you 0:40:03.880 --> 0:40:06.320 want to do is get these young guys Kelvin, Joseph 0:40:06.400 --> 0:40:10.400 Nashaun Wright, de Ron Bland, and maybe I don't know 0:40:10.480 --> 0:40:12.480 that they're going to call up Shiffield, but none. Nonetheless, 0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:14.800 get these guys as many reps as possible, because you 0:40:14.840 --> 0:40:16.640 want to try to use this and the bye week 0:40:16.680 --> 0:40:19.560 to sort this out before you face Aaron Rodgers. And 0:40:19.640 --> 0:40:21.520 we know Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers and 0:40:21.600 --> 0:40:24.799 that offense is struggling. But I don't care how much 0:40:24.880 --> 0:40:28.040 that that offense is struggling. I never want Aaron Rodgers 0:40:28.200 --> 0:40:31.759 versus a completely green cornerback. And if you have more 0:40:31.840 --> 0:40:35.120 than one completely green cornerback, you're really setting yourself up 0:40:35.239 --> 0:40:38.640 for a potential disaster. So going against the Bears offense 0:40:38.760 --> 0:40:42.239 personnel wise, personnel versus personnel, it's perfect. And going into 0:40:42.320 --> 0:40:44.719 a bye week, I do it full cannon ball, no 0:40:44.880 --> 0:40:48.399 toe in the water. So you're saying by toeing the water, 0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:51.640 I think it was basically splitting it evenly. You don't 0:40:51.680 --> 0:40:53.640 want to split evenly. You want whoever's going to be 0:40:53.680 --> 0:40:55.600 in that job moving forward to be in that job 0:40:55.680 --> 0:40:57.800 this week. Oh no, no, what I mean, I'm split 0:40:57.960 --> 0:41:01.200 even wants both of them that that's what I'm saying. 0:41:02.360 --> 0:41:04.719 That's what I'm saying. I'm cool with that. That makes 0:41:04.800 --> 0:41:07.640 no I mean either way, as long as they're getting snaps, 0:41:07.680 --> 0:41:09.440 I'm happy. I want all three of those guys to 0:41:09.520 --> 0:41:12.800 get defensive snaps, not specialty. Because here's my thing. I 0:41:12.880 --> 0:41:15.839 feel like we and we will learn more obviously as 0:41:16.080 --> 0:41:18.120 his career goes along. As I said, season goes along, 0:41:18.320 --> 0:41:21.000 I believe that we are confident enough in what d 0:41:21.080 --> 0:41:23.839 ron Bland can bring so at the moment, at the moment, 0:41:23.960 --> 0:41:26.440 so I will say, this doesn't necessarily have to be 0:41:26.840 --> 0:41:30.520 a you know, ninety five percent snap game defensive snap 0:41:30.560 --> 0:41:32.560 game for d ron Bland. I'm fine if you make 0:41:32.600 --> 0:41:34.640 it a fifty percent snap game for d ron Bland. 0:41:34.680 --> 0:41:36.640 And then you use the risk to kind of change 0:41:36.680 --> 0:41:40.520 personnel groupings and say, okay, now let's try Anthony Brown Kelvin. 0:41:40.600 --> 0:41:43.040 You go out and you get you know, Kelvin Kelvin 0:41:43.040 --> 0:41:45.360 tent snaps and then you say, okay, Kelvin. Now you say, Anthony, 0:41:45.440 --> 0:41:47.640 you stay in the nickel. But hey, Nashan, now you 0:41:47.800 --> 0:41:50.560 go out and then you kind of hey, cannon Ball, 0:41:51.080 --> 0:41:53.879 have your fun, have your fun. This was a mail 0:41:53.920 --> 0:41:55.560 back question. So if you want to read more on 0:41:55.880 --> 0:41:58.480 the answers to that. I had a mail bag answer. Yeah. 0:41:59.320 --> 0:42:01.440 I didn't meaning for that to happen, but it is 0:42:01.440 --> 0:42:04.400 a conversation right now. You you you brought something up 0:42:04.440 --> 0:42:05.960 that kind of put my intent as up. I said, 0:42:06.800 --> 0:42:09.799 you said, you said not against one of those elite offenses. 0:42:10.040 --> 0:42:12.520 You're okay with it not being against an elite offense. 0:42:13.160 --> 0:42:15.799 When's the next elite offense on the schedule? I run 0:42:15.840 --> 0:42:17.320 it down for you. Tell me yes or no. Do 0:42:17.360 --> 0:42:20.239 you think they're elite? And I think this first one 0:42:20.600 --> 0:42:25.200 after the Bears is interesting. Packers right now? No, I agree, 0:42:25.360 --> 0:42:28.000 I don't think so. No, what is what is that time? 0:42:28.160 --> 0:42:32.320 Is that a timing warning to get off the air? Okay? 0:42:32.360 --> 0:42:35.960 I like it? Good? Uh, Minnesota Vikings are they elite? 0:42:36.320 --> 0:42:41.440 The receivers are? I would agree with that? Tealing? And uh, Jefferson, 0:42:43.200 --> 0:42:45.440 did you say tealing? It's actually how you say it, 0:42:45.520 --> 0:42:49.480 by the way. Nope, he's never corrected anybody. I met 0:42:49.520 --> 0:42:54.120 his cousin the other This is breaking news, bets. I 0:42:54.280 --> 0:42:57.520 met his cousin the other day. His cousin plays for ACU, 0:42:58.000 --> 0:43:00.560 and I called their game and I got a chance 0:43:00.600 --> 0:43:02.239 to talk with a couple of players prior to the game, 0:43:02.760 --> 0:43:06.200 and he said, uh, I said, so, Feeling. I was like, 0:43:06.239 --> 0:43:08.279 are you Are you related to Adam? He's like, yeah, 0:43:08.280 --> 0:43:10.359 he's my cousin. He's like, actually, by the way, it's 0:43:10.400 --> 0:43:13.400 tealing by like and on the pronunciation guy t e 0:43:13.560 --> 0:43:19.080 e capital tee dash lynn li in lowercase in taling. Wow. 0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:20.719 He's like, that's actually how you say it. We just 0:43:20.800 --> 0:43:23.480 never have corrected anybody with him. Well, okay, then, so 0:43:23.600 --> 0:43:26.319 how about that. Uh here at at ESPN, you're at 0:43:26.320 --> 0:43:29.080 a NFL network, Go go check with Adam, go figure 0:43:29.080 --> 0:43:32.160 it out. I'll call him feeling because that's what all 0:43:32.200 --> 0:43:35.239 the pronunciation guys did say. But I did let that 0:43:35.320 --> 0:43:37.319 one slip because that's how I'll call him off the air. 0:43:37.680 --> 0:43:42.840 New York Giants the lead offense, elite caller, but not 0:43:43.840 --> 0:43:48.480 table Uh. Indianapolis definitely not right now. Texans No, No, 0:43:48.640 --> 0:43:51.799 Jackson Jacksonville Nope, getting better, Philadelphia at the end, Nope. 0:43:52.360 --> 0:43:55.919 I'm still I still say no. I think I would 0:43:55.920 --> 0:44:00.560 say yes in that regard. Tennessee in week seventeen, no passing, 0:44:00.800 --> 0:44:04.680 and then Washington at the end. So you've got Minnesota, 0:44:05.840 --> 0:44:09.520 Philly and then a maybe on Green Bay and Tennessee, 0:44:09.600 --> 0:44:12.320 depending on how they play. That's about. That's the elite 0:44:12.360 --> 0:44:14.800 offenses that you've got coming up for this defense that is, 0:44:15.280 --> 0:44:19.480 no doubt, unbelievably elite. It's pretty good odds in my opinion. 0:44:20.320 --> 0:44:22.440 That sounds pretty fun. Yeah, it's a good way to 0:44:22.480 --> 0:44:27.160 wrap up the show, right about that. Go get them. 0:44:27.680 --> 0:44:29.919 I mean, there's no other way for me to say. 0:44:29.920 --> 0:44:33.239 It is just just absolutely pin your ears back and 0:44:33.400 --> 0:44:37.120 go get these Go get it against these offenses like 0:44:37.480 --> 0:44:40.279 we're talking about. And obviously it can change on any 0:44:40.360 --> 0:44:44.480 given Sunday, Monday, Thursday, whenever you're playing. But this defensive 0:44:45.040 --> 0:44:50.400 personnel set, led by this defensive coordinator going against the 0:44:50.480 --> 0:44:55.799 offenses you just listed. The most dangerous one as far 0:44:55.880 --> 0:44:58.640 as the ability to both run and pass is going 0:44:58.680 --> 0:45:01.080 to be the Minnesota Vikings. But outside of that, everyone 0:45:01.280 --> 0:45:05.319 can be had more easily. All you need is Dak 0:45:05.400 --> 0:45:08.680 Prescott and this Cowboys offense to find their stride and 0:45:08.760 --> 0:45:11.200 if that happens, and I believe it will happen before 0:45:11.239 --> 0:45:14.880 the season is out, and what better time than November December, 0:45:15.200 --> 0:45:18.040 which then gives you the momentum going into January. So 0:45:18.200 --> 0:45:20.600 we talked about it before you rather half your hiccups 0:45:20.640 --> 0:45:23.279 and your your biggest diversities in the front half of 0:45:23.320 --> 0:45:25.520 the season, the Cowboys did. They're they're getting healthier, and 0:45:25.560 --> 0:45:31.399 they're making Jonathan Hankin's level trade right. They're gonna lose games. 0:45:31.560 --> 0:45:34.359 It's gonna happen. You're not gonna go fifteen and two. 0:45:34.600 --> 0:45:37.640 That's not happening for Cowboys fans out there, despite how 0:45:37.960 --> 0:45:40.920 the matchups look on paper right this second. But you 0:45:41.000 --> 0:45:42.359 still got a chance to win a lot of games. 0:45:43.680 --> 0:45:47.160 So I gotten losing three more somewhere. Got to tune 0:45:47.200 --> 0:45:50.760 into the show to find out where they were. Patrick 0:45:50.840 --> 0:45:53.320 no c Walker, Isaiah stand back, Chris being in the backup. 0:45:53.400 --> 0:45:55.400 Kyle Yeoman, thanks so much for joining us here on 0:45:55.480 --> 0:45:59.080 Talking Cowboys, presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company.

Will see what Isaiah thinks about that 0:46:05.680 --> 0:46:09.320 matchup and how Patrick and I can debate it moving forward. 0:46:09.400 --> 0:46:11.560 That does it for us. We'll see tomorrow with more 0:46:11.719 --> 0:46:15.680 Talking Cowboys. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys 0:46:15.760 --> 0:46:18.399 dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
