Speaker 9: I'm surprised you didn't wear anything.
Speaker 1: I don't have to wear you do You wear it sometimes.
Speaker 5: Sometimes just to remind you all. But this is the
Speaker 5: last listen. Monday is going to be a beatdown.
Speaker 1: Why is that? Because the University of Washington is going
Speaker 1: to beat the crap out of it. You have to
Speaker 1: wake up early and after being out in New Orleans,
Speaker 1: I'm turning up. How about the pop Tarts bowl? Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, I don't think they're a sponsor, but man,
Speaker 1: that's really funny.
Speaker 9: Open comes out of the Yeah.
Speaker 1: The end of it is like, this is my god,
Speaker 1: that pop tart just came out of a toaster. It's
Speaker 1: it's a real thing. It happened yesterday.
Speaker 7: So the mascot was made out of pop tarts. So
Speaker 7: at the end of the game, he baked himself. He
Speaker 7: toasted himself.
Speaker 5: I'm not doing this and.
Speaker 1: Really put the winner has got to eat him. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: people eat you put pop tars in a toaster. I
Speaker 1: don't normally, but you do you can. I tell you
Speaker 1: what they're made for. That's why they're they do that.
Speaker 1: Pop tarts going the toaster, don't that's what they do?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know that they're a post to but nobody
Speaker 5: does that everybody, So I definitely don't do that.
Speaker 9: I mean, you want me to get my kids involved
Speaker 9: here because they eat, I'll get my kids involved.
Speaker 5: Only eat pop tarts out the toaster. Yes, I know
Speaker 5: you're in a good neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Text line text line line you do it? One eight,
Speaker 1: one seven, nine zero three two nine A do you
Speaker 1: toast them or not? And which flavor? Is it strawberry
Speaker 1: frosted or are you like strawberry postals?
Speaker 5: I can't argue with that back now it's done. Yeah,
Speaker 5: please text that in because I've always just popped it.
Speaker 1: Also, would you drug black right espresso? Or enjoy it
Speaker 1: the way? Enjoy? Please? Any who's I've been trying. I've
Speaker 1: been trying. I promise rifle.
Speaker 7: So with it being a Saturday game, game designations came
Speaker 7: out yesterday for the Cowboys and Lions matchup, which will
Speaker 7: be tomorrow night. Something to something to kind of look
Speaker 7: at here I think is probably the most interesting thing
Speaker 7: that came out of yesterday's game designations with Rico Daubdell
Speaker 7: has been ruled out with his ankle injury. So it's
Speaker 7: going to be a committee type project behind Tony Pollard
Speaker 7: with douce Vaughan and Hunter Lipkey. This morning on the fan,
Speaker 7: Mike McCarthy was asked about duce Vaughan.
Speaker 1: Was the last one? Uh? Hunter Lipkey, you got to
Speaker 1: remind people about Malie gets in.
Speaker 7: Why Malik cannot go because he's out of practice quite elevations,
Speaker 7: so he will not be on the field unless he
Speaker 7: assigned to the active roster, which would mean somebody would
Speaker 7: need to be wave you would.
Speaker 1: Have to make.
Speaker 4: That would probably happen today because if they were going
Speaker 4: to make a move like that, it either happens on
Speaker 4: Friday or Saturday in a normal week, but with it
Speaker 4: being tomorrow, that move would probably come because I think released,
Speaker 4: Did he really release?
Speaker 1: Officially? He did? Okay, So does that free up a spot?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 1: Because let's spot, would you say, Beamer? I heard you.
Speaker 9: I said the elevations have to come out. I believe
Speaker 9: they come out.
Speaker 1: They come out today. They come out today. They can't
Speaker 1: come out the day of the game. They've got to
Speaker 1: make a roster movie. You guys gonna have to feel
Speaker 1: like they're gonna make a roster movie. You think they're
Speaker 1: just gonna move up.
Speaker 7: No, Because Mike McCarthy was asked on the fan this
Speaker 7: morning about duce Vaughan getting an opportunity, he said, Deuce
Speaker 7: will be up this weekend.
Speaker 1: We got a plan and we're looking forward to it.
Speaker 7: I'm really excited about this, you know, because I whenever
Speaker 7: Ducevaughn obviously came here, it was a cool story. But
Speaker 7: I think from an on field perspective, we were all,
Speaker 7: you know, expecting quite a maybe not quite a bit,
Speaker 7: but we were expecting more than probably what we've gotten
Speaker 7: in his rookie year so far. And I don't think
Speaker 7: it's necessarily been a product of him not being ready.
Speaker 1: I really don't.
Speaker 7: Whenever he's had his on field opportunities, it's been in
Speaker 7: late game, garbage time type stuff again with backup offensive linemen.
Speaker 1: I mean, his averages are pretty bad.
Speaker 7: I think he's averaged in less than two yards of carry,
Speaker 7: but he hasn't really had an opportunity to get going.
Speaker 7: He's been inactive for most of probably the last ten games.
Speaker 7: I would say, or so, this is a really good
Speaker 7: opportunity for him to be a compliment to Tony Pollard
Speaker 7: and show what he can do in this offense before
Speaker 7: the playoffs roll around and maybe earn an active roster spot.
Speaker 7: As you know, whenever Week O Dawtle does come back
Speaker 7: and maybe he can get integrated back into the offense.
Speaker 7: But it's a good opportunity for deuced faw And it's
Speaker 7: also a good opportunity for Hunter Lipkey to bounce back
Speaker 7: from that fumble last week and you know, show that
Speaker 7: he could still be a reliable short yardage guy.
Speaker 1: Balls on the two yard line? Who you turn around
Speaker 1: and give it to Hunter Lockey?
Speaker 7: Baby, there's still confidence there, and especially after a mistake
Speaker 7: like that, that's a guy that won't do it again.
Speaker 7: Like I'm completely confident in that Ceedee Lamb not not
Speaker 7: Peyton Hunters.
Speaker 1: Remember that?
Speaker 4: Which one do you feel like fans outside of this room,
Speaker 4: because I know, like you said, confidence doesn't waiver in
Speaker 4: one play, but in terms of a fan base sometimes
Speaker 4: it does. And who would you feel like it's received
Speaker 4: the worst or received more poorly if they gave the
Speaker 4: ball to him on the one yard line Tony Pollard
Speaker 4: or Hunter lip Key based off of what happened, or.
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, I think, I think if from outside.
Speaker 4: This room, yeah well I don't probably Lipkey from the
Speaker 4: outside looking at.
Speaker 7: Probably from the outside, maybe Lipkey just because he fumbled
Speaker 7: last week. But I mean, you look at what Tony
Speaker 7: Pollard is to the five yard line so far this year.
Speaker 7: I mean, you have to figure out other things.
Speaker 1: I stand on it. I said this a long time ago.
Speaker 1: I like deuce on a goal line. I'm done with it.
Speaker 1: How are they gonna find him? Exactly?
Speaker 5: That's my reasoning.
Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see.
Speaker 4: I went back, I was, I was looking at old footage,
Speaker 4: and yesterday I just went back and I looked at
Speaker 4: the preseason game that that we had the chance to.
Speaker 1: Call against Jacksonville. Call that, bro, Yeah.
Speaker 4: We we we're talking about this. And he was at
Speaker 4: the five yard line and you brought it up on
Speaker 4: that drive. He said, you know, once you get into
Speaker 4: the red zone, he could become a weapon because you
Speaker 4: can leak him out of the backfield, you can put
Speaker 4: him behind the tackles, you can do whatever you need
Speaker 4: to do, and sometimes they just can't find him.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 4: And I mean, sure enough, two plays later he was
Speaker 4: in the end zone and both boards. So uh, that
Speaker 4: was me getting sidetracked yesterday. But hey turned into a
Speaker 4: point for Tomal Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Your memory is amazing. I knew I said it. I
Speaker 1: just didn't.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 1: I watched it last night, like literally, like I went.
Speaker 4: I was searching through old footage on the hard drive
Speaker 4: that I've got and I have that recording of that.
Speaker 5: Game exactly what was happening. But that's how he goes
Speaker 5: to sleep.
Speaker 1: At night tonight, I'm watching the or I'm listening to
Speaker 1: the Seattle game. That's what's happening. Yeah, there you go,
Speaker 1: not there you go.
Speaker 7: Continuing here on the injury report of Jonathan Hankins was
Speaker 7: ruled out for this game. He had said last week
Speaker 7: that he was going to try and push and make
Speaker 7: it for this game. He's from Detroit, he really wants
Speaker 7: to play against Detroit hasn't played him in a few years.
Speaker 1: But not ready.
Speaker 7: And so it'll be Mozzie Smith, Novel Gallimore. I assume
Speaker 7: Carl Davis will get his third elevation this week.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 7: And then Tyron Smith good news was upgraded to limited
Speaker 7: and yesterday's practice was getting limited reps. He is questionable
Speaker 7: for Saturday's game. There's a lot of confidence that he's
Speaker 7: gonna play tomorrow. I think I think Tyron Smith is
Speaker 7: back on the field. So that's a that's really good news.
Speaker 1: So you're saying there's a chance, I'm not saying there's
Speaker 1: a chance. I'm saying it's likely left Side. I don't
Speaker 1: I do get the reference left Side. I just know
Speaker 1: it's a Jim Carrey character. We'll give you because it's
Speaker 1: on Twitter.
Speaker 7: Is it the movie where he has like double personality disorder?
Speaker 1: Is it that that's the mask? That's me and myself
Speaker 1: and Irene? I was thinking the mask? So what movie
Speaker 1: was left Side strong Side?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 11: Huh?
Speaker 1: What movie was it where they said.
Speaker 7: Left Side strong Side Blindside?
Speaker 9: Oh, please take his car?
Speaker 5: Is your representative University of Texas. This is who's represent
Speaker 5: in the studio.
Speaker 1: I don't watch it. That's a football movie though, I
Speaker 1: don't remember. Remember the Titan, Yes?
Speaker 9: Have you ever seen that?
Speaker 5: I have.
Speaker 1: It's just been like fifteen years. Wow, So you were
Speaker 1: four I was months like four months.
Speaker 9: That was funny.
Speaker 7: Thanks, That's that's that's all goes as far as the
Speaker 7: injury stuff for the Cowboys. On the other side for
Speaker 7: the Lions, CJ. Gardner Johnson, he had had his twenty
Speaker 7: one day practice window opened a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 7: I think they were targeting to get him back on
Speaker 7: the field this week, but they're going to keep him
Speaker 7: on the ir he remains out for this game. That's
Speaker 7: big for the Cowboys as far as you know, trying
Speaker 7: to get over the top. I think there's a really
Speaker 7: good opportunity to have a big day in the receiving game.
Speaker 7: I think CD has an awesome game. We'll talk about
Speaker 7: that later, I'm sure. And then as far as other guys,
Speaker 7: H James Houston ankle injury popped up on the injury
Speaker 7: report yesterday or excuse me, he had he had his
Speaker 7: practice window opened yesterday. He's not going to play in
Speaker 7: time for this game. But starting corner Cam Sutton popped
Speaker 7: up on the injury report with a toe injury yesterday,
Speaker 7: did not practice and it's now questionable. So that is
Speaker 7: one of their starting corners already missing.
Speaker 1: CJ. Gardner Johnson.
Speaker 7: Cam Sutton has been a guy that has taken on
Speaker 7: most of the wide receiver one so far the season
Speaker 7: for the Lions. That'd be a huge if you can't go,
Speaker 7: so really a big day, really big opportunity in the secondary.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what you guys talked about yesterday and QB
Speaker 4: vision was you were talking about. This is a young secondary.
Speaker 4: You have places where you can take advantage and try
Speaker 4: and get the long ball going. So big day for
Speaker 4: Lamb Cooks. Yeah, I mean Jaalen Tolbert maybe in that
Speaker 4: conversation now, Yeah, you just.
Speaker 5: Need identify where their safeties are because their safeties are
Speaker 5: very active and it's their safety. They communicate very well
Speaker 5: on defense, they're very disciplined in terms of their front seven,
Speaker 5: in terms of what they have going on up there.
Speaker 5: But secondary wise, they do get exposed because Aaron Glenn,
Speaker 5: defensive coordinator, does like to bring pressure. Yeah, and he'll
Speaker 5: do it from the most random place. It's like they
Speaker 5: blitz like crazy and it's usually one guy. Every so
Speaker 5: often you'll get two guys blitzing. But they'll bring it
Speaker 5: from the boundary corner. They'll bring it from the safety.
Speaker 5: They'll bring it usually from the outside. They like bringing
Speaker 5: pressure from the edges. But they do it when when
Speaker 5: they have a good idea of what your protection looks
Speaker 5: like and you're overloaded to one particular size, so they
Speaker 5: do expose their secondary in their regard. Sometimes their safeties
Speaker 5: are out of position because they're trying to make it
Speaker 5: look one way. They'll roll those guys all the way
Speaker 5: down into the line of scrimmage and then they'll run
Speaker 5: those guys back. So a lot of times when they're
Speaker 5: trying to get back to their responsibilities, they're now out
Speaker 5: of place, they're displaced, they're out of position. So there's
Speaker 5: a lot there's a huge opportunity as long as you
Speaker 5: can block it up, and Dak just needs to know
Speaker 5: where that pressure is coming from, so you can adjust
Speaker 5: with his footwork to buy himself a little bit more time.
Speaker 4: Last season, you would have been concerned with a team
Speaker 4: like that coming in and disguising and moving safeties around
Speaker 4: and changing coverages. You're holding on to the ball because
Speaker 4: it's post snapped and you're holding onto the ball, and
Speaker 4: Dak had trouble at times last year where his interceptions
Speaker 4: were a problem of reading defense's post snap. Do you
Speaker 4: feel like that's still a concern or do you feel
Speaker 4: like he's rectified.
Speaker 1: That throughout the year.
Speaker 5: I think he's done a relatively good job of rectifying
Speaker 5: that there are some times where I'm still a little
Speaker 5: bit concerned whenever he gets a little bit of happy feet.
Speaker 5: But he's shown his resilience. He's shown his patience even
Speaker 5: under duress. You can just a good point to last week,
Speaker 5: did a great job just a adjusting it in the pocket,
Speaker 5: and even when pressure was right on top of him,
Speaker 5: he still was able to not freak out, not panic,
Speaker 5: you know, shake the guy off him, and get his
Speaker 5: eyes back downfield and try to execute his assignment. He's
Speaker 5: not just throwing it into coverage he like he once
Speaker 5: was before last year. Specifically, I think he's a lot
Speaker 5: more intentional. He's a lot more intentional about where the
Speaker 5: ball's going and mitigating his risks.
Speaker 1: You said shake and I got a little PTSD from
Speaker 1: the back. Right, All right, let's take our first really quick.
Speaker 1: Is that one more really good thing?
Speaker 7: So for those that cannot attend the game tomorrow night,
Speaker 7: I had tweeted out yesterday, we got an email like,
Speaker 7: right as we popped out of here. The halftime ceremony
Speaker 7: for Jimmy Johnson being inducted into the Ring of Honor.
Speaker 7: It will be aired live on ESPN. It will also
Speaker 7: be on the Dallas Cowboys Radio Network. Douglas did remind
Speaker 7: me of that whenever I tweeted that out, be sure
Speaker 7: to check both of those outlets.
Speaker 1: And then one more quick thing.
Speaker 7: We had a conference call yesterday with head coach Mike
Speaker 7: McCarthy and I asked him about Trayvon Dix, just what
Speaker 7: he's been up to during his recovery. We've seen him
Speaker 7: pop in the locker room a couple of times. His
Speaker 7: son Aiden had popped in the locker room a couple
Speaker 7: of weeks ago, and I want to share a really
Speaker 7: quick story on that. He was going up to Turp
Speaker 7: and cavante urp and and he was kind of gi
Speaker 7: given him some hell and he was like, hey, man,
Speaker 7: like I thought you were faster, and he was like
Speaker 7: getting in his face a little bit. It was a
Speaker 7: funny thing. He was like, I'm fast, man, I run
Speaker 7: four two, and Ada was like, you run four to nine,
Speaker 7: and then.
Speaker 1: He liked.
Speaker 7: So he went up to the fastest guy on the team.
Speaker 7: It was like you're slow, but yeah, it was. It
Speaker 7: was a really funny opportunity the kind of see those
Speaker 7: two interact. But I asked Mike McCarthy, you know what
Speaker 7: has he been up to is he around the facility
Speaker 7: is still quite a bit. He said that he's still
Speaker 7: he's still around and he's helping out in the secondary
Speaker 7: and he said that Al Harris makes a point to
Speaker 7: get with him every time that he's in the building.
Speaker 7: So it looks like there's still quite a bit of
Speaker 7: instruction going on. And every time we see him in
Speaker 7: the locker room, he's upbeat. It looks like his spirits
Speaker 7: are good. So, in case you're curious how Diggs has
Speaker 7: been doing, He's been doing well. No timetable or anything
Speaker 7: as far as if we know he'll be back by
Speaker 7: OTA's mini camp, but I'm sure that'll come early in
Speaker 7: the off season.
Speaker 1: I'm sure Aiden is loving this time. Oh for sure.
Speaker 1: Aidan's getting to see this past or like this is
Speaker 1: cool and for a reason. Man.
Speaker 5: Always, I'm a big believer in that. It might obviously
Speaker 5: the Cowboys took a big blow this year, but you
Speaker 5: know his son benefits. Yeah, so it's it's pretty that's great.
Speaker 4: The uh, the the trash talking from Aiden Diggs, that
Speaker 4: dude's going to be an elite crash.
Speaker 1: God, think about his uncle.
Speaker 5: He met his dad, family barbecues, bro Oh my god,
Speaker 5: I'm sure they talked to him just as much as
Speaker 5: he talks to that's act he's going.
Speaker 1: On tour talking like that. Four Yeah, okay, dude, round
Speaker 1: it up, buddy, get your speed up, man, gotta love it.
Speaker 4: Aiden Diggs, Dallas Cowboys Celebrity gym. All right, let's take
Speaker 4: our first break. When we come back.
Speaker 1: We've got some updates on these non sponsored toaster pastries
Speaker 1: that we were talking about in the early going.
Speaker 4: Uh No, you cannot have that extra black rifle coffee, Isaiah.
Speaker 1: That's what happens. Whenever you chug your first one, you're
Speaker 1: supposed to enjoy it.
Speaker 5: Shiny.
Speaker 1: When we come back with more talking Cowboys, key matchups
Speaker 1: come in your way.
Speaker 12: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the
Speaker 12: Cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought
Speaker 12: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be
Speaker 12: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.
Speaker 12: But the good news is Todd has at and t
Speaker 12: five g It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he
Speaker 12: learned the best thing to do is stop running and
Speaker 12: toss her the backpack with the beef stew at and

Speaker 1: Toaster pastries? No one, not out of the toaster.
Speaker 4: So one thing is they're called pop tarts as the sponsor,
Speaker 4: which is not a sponsor, but they're called toaster pastries
Speaker 4: as like a generic toaster.
Speaker 1: Plus pop is in the in the name.
Speaker 5: I never even yeah, I pop together, I pop open them.
Speaker 4: So our text line is get after you a little bit,
Speaker 4: yeah text line eight one seven two nine zero three
Speaker 4: two nine eight do you toast your pop tarts?
Speaker 1: Your toaster pastries?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 1: In the toaster always the best?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 4: Raised three grown kids, three grandchildren, forty years.
Speaker 1: Of pop tarts and all flavors all in the toaster.
Speaker 1: That's like eighteen toasters. That's a lot of toasters.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 1: This one says, what are you thinking? Stand back? This
Speaker 1: is all caps? What are you thinking? Stand back? Of course,
Speaker 1: pop tarts get toasted. If you're not toasting them, then
Speaker 1: you're living life all wrong? Is that belch?
Speaker 8: Stamp back?
Speaker 1: This one says, pop tarts definitely go in the toaster.
Speaker 1: Tell Beamer to answer the phone in the back. I'll
Speaker 1: pick up the phone. I feel like, uh, toasted toasted
Speaker 1: pop tarts. Ooh, this one's interesting. Toast it and throw
Speaker 1: some butter on the back. It's a no no about that.
Speaker 1: I don't eat pop I have not done that, but
Speaker 1: I know people that do this.
Speaker 8: I have a.
Speaker 1: Good this is this is the thing that people do.
Speaker 1: I support it.
Speaker 7: You know, however, you want to get your pop tarts
Speaker 7: on except for outside of the toaster. Here's the thing, though,
Speaker 7: If you don't toast it, you are an impatient person.
Speaker 7: And I know it's just because I used to do.
Speaker 1: Uh. They're not a sponsored pizza rolls, just pizza frozen.
Speaker 1: Yeah whatever.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but if you don't put them in the oven,
Speaker 7: you're genuinely missing out on life.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, people put pizzas. No, it's not. It's the
Speaker 1: microwave versus.
Speaker 7: I used a microwave them when I was seven years old.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 7: And then you know, you learn from a friend, like, no, dude,
Speaker 7: you put them on that wait the extra ten minutes,
Speaker 7: put them in the oven, and life is air.
Speaker 8: Air.
Speaker 1: This is true. Covid introduces to the air fryer. I
Speaker 1: feel like technique.
Speaker 5: You popped it. You pop over and pack the little
Speaker 5: foil package. Can you pop it in half? Okay, you
Speaker 5: bite one side, you bite the other.
Speaker 1: There's four pieces. There's four pieces per tart. You just
Speaker 1: eat after part per turn. He can. That's like a
Speaker 1: grabbing gold snack. Like you grab it, you get in
Speaker 1: the car. That's fine. I do the same thing. You
Speaker 1: can grab and go. And it's not in the toaster napkin.
Speaker 1: Bro that's a part of your your daily breakfast snack.
Speaker 1: In my house, Isaiah, it's not a meal. How. I
Speaker 1: have a serious question, Isaiah, how do you eat toaster?
Speaker 5: Shootle toaster?
Speaker 6: Shoot?
Speaker 5: I don't I don't eat strood.
Speaker 1: Oh god, alright, so serious? Okay, no, let we're gonna
Speaker 1: get off to because I haven't. You're totally gonna get
Speaker 1: off YouTube comments these guys do, because this leads me
Speaker 1: to this will be for next week for rice. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is it.
Speaker 5: We're gonna We're gonna prep you guys, all right, salt
Speaker 5: butter or sugar on one rice?
Speaker 1: But on rice? Yeah, I'm almost you said salt butter,
Speaker 1: sugar salt? Uh, I don't know, probably butter butter for sure.
Speaker 1: I'm butter and sugar.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think I've ever put sugar in rice
Speaker 7: because like if I'm if I'm eating rice.
Speaker 1: I'm going.
Speaker 5: Just let me into that convers.
Speaker 1: Please give us some key matchup for the straight segment. No,
Speaker 1: no black rifle key matchups going into this week. Obviously
Speaker 1: it's a big game.
Speaker 7: I think, uh, the winner of this game will obviously
Speaker 7: have a lot of momentum going into Week eighteen and
Speaker 7: then into the playoffs. I think these three matchups will
Speaker 7: probably determine the outcome. So we're gonna start off with
Speaker 7: h Terrence Steel, right tackle for the Dallas Cowboys going
Speaker 7: up against Aiden Hutchinson. This is gonna be This is
Speaker 7: gonna be an interesting one because Hunderson, he we talked
Speaker 7: about it this week. Where he lacks maybe in technique,
Speaker 7: he picks up in physicality and being able to kind
Speaker 7: of just overwhelm guys uh sometimes with his athleticism as well.
Speaker 7: And Terrence Steele, I think he's really started to stack
Speaker 7: some good reps over the course of the leftst few
Speaker 7: weeks has had a bad game here and there, but
Speaker 7: like as far as where he was from the beginning
Speaker 7: of the season till now, completely different. So this is
Speaker 7: going to be a big matchup and keeping Dak Prescott
Speaker 7: clean in the pocket.
Speaker 1: I think Steele.
Speaker 7: Honestly, if I were taking bets, I would take Steel here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think do you think he has a rebound
Speaker 4: from what happened last week? Or do you think he
Speaker 4: had a rebound last week against the Dolphins based off
Speaker 4: of the last I guess juggernaut front seven that.
Speaker 1: He had faced. Yeah, I guess you could say.
Speaker 8: So.
Speaker 4: He didn't really go up against Chubb a whole lot.
Speaker 4: Chubb was mostly lined up over the top of the every.
Speaker 7: Snap he was over adoga, So yeah, you could say
Speaker 7: he was most of that pressure was coming from the
Speaker 7: left side and it was coming from the interior. Honestly,
Speaker 7: I think Tyler piattish was a big factor in that
Speaker 7: pressure getting generated as well, along with Chunleidoga. But as
Speaker 7: far as Terrence Steel and Zach Martin, they held their
Speaker 7: own on the right side. That right side kind of
Speaker 7: turned into what the left side has been for most
Speaker 7: of the season. So yeah, Steel is really starting to
Speaker 7: stack good games, and I hope people are noticing because
Speaker 7: whenever he started the year, we were looking up in
Speaker 7: like week eight or week nine and he had double
Speaker 7: pressures than anybody else on the offensive line. And he's
Speaker 7: really bounced back and he's proving why they signed him
Speaker 7: to that contract right before the season started. So this
Speaker 7: is a big opportunity for him to keep it going.
Speaker 7: Do they not move eight and Hunchson in around a little? No,
Speaker 7: not really, They're gonna keep They're gonna move him off
Speaker 7: that right tackle, that right edge. They want him on
Speaker 7: that side. They feel good about it. And he doesn't
Speaker 7: have a whole lot of sacks this year. He's definitely
Speaker 7: not in the double six and a half, okay, but
Speaker 7: he leads the team. But he has a dog twenty
Speaker 7: three quarterback kids. He has six and six and a half.
Speaker 1: Sacks and he's a solid run defender. He's a great run.
Speaker 1: That's really what his calling card was.
Speaker 4: He's always been a good pass rusher, but he was
Speaker 4: elite as a run defender coming out of Michigan, right right.
Speaker 4: The thing with Hutchinson is he's not as versatile as
Speaker 4: I think they anticipated coming out.
Speaker 1: They thought maybe they could move him around. He hasn't
Speaker 1: been there yet. Maybe that's technique. Maybe that's just a
Speaker 1: lack of ability outside of him on that front. Seven.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the case is, but they do
Speaker 1: not move him around at all.
Speaker 7: Of Michah Parsons, if you will, not a Michael Parson
Speaker 7: now he's now and the Lions.
Speaker 1: Could have drafted Michael Parsons. Uh, oh, well they took
Speaker 1: they took penn A sool over Micah. The worked out
Speaker 1: for him was after Micah. No, I think it was before. No,
Speaker 1: he's definitely it was definitely after really yeah, Oh that's
Speaker 1: what it meant. That's what they could. They could have
Speaker 1: drafted Micah. They did not know Cowboys picked him beforehand.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that draft it was it was Certan, then Horn
Speaker 4: and then Dallas traded back one of and they uh,
Speaker 4: Chicago took Justin Fields or no, no, no, DeVante Smith
Speaker 4: then Chicago traded up to eleven, took Justin Fields, Michael
Speaker 4: Parsons win at twelve.
Speaker 1: Penna Sool was on the board. That was That was
Speaker 1: the Cowboys question.
Speaker 4: Was penn A Suol or Michael Parsons and Cowboys select
Speaker 4: to Michael Parsons's team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't really go wrong with them. Both of
Speaker 1: them were great. Yeah. Second matchup that we're gonna highlight
Speaker 1: here Isaiah versus a warm pop tart, Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 7: We're gonna go uh doron Bland versus arm and Ross
Speaker 7: Saint Brown. So I'm and Ross Saint Brown. Man, y'all
Speaker 7: think ceedee Lamb moves around a lot. This guy moves
Speaker 7: around every snap here, he's going to be in the slot.
Speaker 7: He's going to be on the outside. He'll bounce the left,
Speaker 7: he'll bounced the right. They'll motion him in. They utilize
Speaker 7: quite a bit of motion. I would say they're middle
Speaker 7: of the pack in the NFL as far as utilizing it.
Speaker 7: But it's typically am and Raw that's coming around in motion.
Speaker 7: It's him and Josh Reynolds. So it's a It's been
Speaker 7: really fun to watch him this season. He's really put
Speaker 7: it together, having a having a really good year after
Speaker 7: having a really good year last year. But Deron Bland
Speaker 7: the reason I want to focus on him here. I'm
Speaker 7: in Ross Saint Brown will see every dB that the
Speaker 7: Cowboys have. But the reason I want to focus on
Speaker 7: Deron Bland here specifically is because when he is on
Speaker 7: the boundary, I think that's going to be a really
Speaker 7: important matchup as far as limiting him outside of the numbers,
Speaker 7: and then we can go from there.
Speaker 4: Quick correction, I completely mixed up the teams. I was
Speaker 4: thinking Chargers in Rashawn Slater.
Speaker 1: I was just thinking, No, I'm an idiot. I apologize.
Speaker 4: I completely mixed up the teams. The Lions were up
Speaker 4: in the early parts of the draft overall, let me
Speaker 4: take it.
Speaker 1: I don't thought you're gonna do it now. I'll finish
Speaker 1: the rest of this.
Speaker 4: There's a lot left here that was like, oh, that's
Speaker 4: on me. Yeah, I was thinking of the Rashawn Slater's significance.
Speaker 4: That was the conversation. I've messed it up, my bet.
Speaker 7: Sorry guys, fair enough time out, But just me, my
Speaker 7: mic what do you'll kind of feel about As far
Speaker 7: as a Monroe Saint Brown, we can focus on Isaiah
Speaker 7: here too, just because I think there's a really good
Speaker 7: I think there's a really good perspective there.
Speaker 1: Time out. You hit your knee, No, I'm in time out.
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be on Jameson Williams? What about him? Focus
Speaker 1: on am? How do you limit an? I don't.
Speaker 5: We're gonna be playing man, so in terms of limiting him,
Speaker 5: and you just just kind of come down to matchups.
Speaker 5: As you mentioned, everybody's gonna have their opportunity. Everybody's gonna
Speaker 5: have their shots, dB J, lou Gilmour, everybody's gonna have
Speaker 5: their opportunity. This dude's quick. He's quick as crap and
Speaker 5: I don't know crap is quick.
Speaker 1: But Camby can bey. But you want.
Speaker 8: It.
Speaker 5: Whenever you're facing guys like this, you kind of get
Speaker 5: caught in the mix in terms of do you want
Speaker 5: to get my hands on him to kind of disrupt
Speaker 5: his ability get off the ball, but you run the
Speaker 5: risk of him getting over the top of you. So
Speaker 5: you have to really pick your battles based upon what
Speaker 5: you feel most confident in. Hopefully there's something that they're
Speaker 5: picking up on film that they feel like they can exploit.
Speaker 5: But if I'm deron Bland. I think I have the
Speaker 5: quickness to go up there and stay with him, so
Speaker 5: I can take the risk of being more physical because
Speaker 5: I can now catch up. If I'm Gilmore, I'm gonna
Speaker 5: give a little bit more space and try to play downhill, right,
Speaker 5: So you know, and if you're if you're Jaylu, you
Speaker 5: gotta do Jylu things right. You got to be physical,
Speaker 5: you gotta be feisty. You want Jaylu near the line
Speaker 5: of scrimmage anyway. So I would much rather him be
Speaker 5: kind of closer impressed up, especially going off the game
Speaker 5: he had against Miami where he was a physical force
Speaker 5: in a running in the run defense.
Speaker 7: Yeah, can we talk about Jaylu really quick these last
Speaker 7: few weeks that he's been greatling since I think since
Speaker 7: the Seattle game, we could start with that game.
Speaker 1: I think since then he's stacked really good games.
Speaker 7: And it's kind of unfortunate because Buffalo is one of
Speaker 7: his best games of the season too, But I mean
Speaker 7: they didn't need to put the air through the ball.
Speaker 1: That was a little bit different.
Speaker 7: And then last week against Miami, like whenever he was
Speaker 7: lining up on Tyreek, he was with him, but he
Speaker 7: was doing he was he got physical with him, he's
Speaker 7: really starting to seck some good reps. I'm happy for him.
Speaker 7: I mean, that's a guy. He's one of the easiest
Speaker 7: guys to talk to in the locker room. He's one
Speaker 7: of the more personable guys.
Speaker 5: I did not expect him to be one of the
Speaker 5: best run defenders on this team right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which says a lot about the defense in general.
Speaker 5: I would have lost all my money, it's true.
Speaker 1: So that that's me with Millie Cooker as far as
Speaker 1: run defense as well, I wouldn't have guessed he would
Speaker 1: be one of the most.
Speaker 5: But the Leaf's job as a safety, right to I mean,
Speaker 5: whether you're free or whether you're a strong like, it's
Speaker 5: your job to still be physical as a safety. That's
Speaker 5: the expectation. As a nickel corner. I don't have an
Speaker 5: expectation of you coming up and being physical. That's just
Speaker 5: not the guy that I would have said, Hey, this
Speaker 5: guy's gonna come up and hit you. But Jay Lou
Speaker 5: is having that presence and it has a tremendous effect
Speaker 5: on your run defense. As we talked about the Buffalo game,
Speaker 5: our edges got exposed well this game against Miami. In
Speaker 5: the most recent game, it did not get exposed because
Speaker 5: Jay Lou had his presence there. Obviously d Law had
Speaker 5: a big impact too, but right behind d Law, it
Speaker 5: was Jay Lou that was coming downhill and having a force.
Speaker 5: I think there was one series where this dude had
Speaker 5: like three three tackles in a row where he was
Speaker 5: just coming down and just lighting guys up. And I
Speaker 5: would go back and I'm looking at the film and
Speaker 5: I'm like, is that number two?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's just like, are you
Speaker 1: kidding me? And like he's getting up and he's.
Speaker 5: Hype, and I'm like, okay, all right, dude, and like
Speaker 5: having that presence. We talked about Jaylen Ramsey and his
Speaker 5: presence in run Defense and some of these other guys
Speaker 5: around our league. Jay LOUI is starting to be that
Speaker 5: for Dallas and it's and it's awesome.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and he's a he's from Detroit as well. He's
Speaker 7: from Michigan. It's gonna be an opportunity for j Law
Speaker 7: this week. I forget what exact city he's from in Michigan,
Speaker 7: but he's excited about this. When we were able to
Speaker 7: chop it up with him earlier this week, and he's
Speaker 7: excited about it. And if I'm correct me if I'm wrong,
Speaker 7: the Detroit game was the game he heard his foot
Speaker 7: in last year.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's where he had an interception. They landed
Speaker 1: on his foot.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so you know, a really big game for him.
Speaker 7: I'm excited for him and see what he could put
Speaker 7: together as well.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you can. He's from Detroit, from Detroit. He
Speaker 1: went to cast Technical Quah, Yep, he was from Detroit.
Speaker 1: It's not Detroit King. So now he'll get an interception
Speaker 1: and running back. Yeah, that was really cool.
Speaker 4: Just to address a text line question here, you guys
Speaker 4: obviously don't watch the Lions. Hutchinson on winds up over
Speaker 4: the garden more than he blinds up over the defensive end.
Speaker 1: Come on, guys, know what you're talking about. Man talks.
Speaker 1: Let me just go ahead and pull this up. No,
Speaker 1: he doesn't.
Speaker 4: So this is next gen stats. This is every snap
Speaker 4: he's played throughout the season. If we can take this
Speaker 4: full there's aiden Hutchetson receets. How many times does you
Speaker 4: line up over the garden?
Speaker 5: How many times, let's even let's knowed Son against the rush?
Speaker 4: Lookie, oh wow, literally has not lined up over the
Speaker 4: son I'm sorry three one seven.
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna call somebody out.
Speaker 5: Be right, Oh tell me right.
Speaker 4: There's the comparison. That's Micah, just so you know, just
Speaker 4: there's a little bit of something there in the middle.
Speaker 1: I wish I could, but there you go, figure ot
Speaker 1: how to work that website. It's fantastic high five.
Speaker 5: There is somebody that you guys need to worry about.
Speaker 5: If I can find his number, is it Melifan Wu No,
Speaker 5: John Kominski, he's a problem Krazinsky, Ted Koleminsky, John Kominsky
Speaker 5: number seventy office number seventy nine. He's he's a big boy.
Speaker 5: They listen him as a d N They listen him
Speaker 5: as a defensive end, but he lines up at D tackle.
Speaker 5: He's not in that first wave a lot of times.
Speaker 5: He's usually in the second wave because then when they're
Speaker 5: coming out in their first you know, or down first
Speaker 5: and second down is typically they have the big boys
Speaker 5: in the middle, right, the big three hundred and thirty five,
Speaker 5: three hundred and forty pound guys. But this guy comes in.
Speaker 5: He is sixty five to eighty five and he has
Speaker 5: he has freaking o Rngu tang arms. And he's he's
Speaker 5: he's a force. He's one of the other guys that
Speaker 5: stuck out on film. Okay, the safety I number six
Speaker 5: Milifan Wu yep and seventy nine John Kominsky. He showed
Speaker 5: up on film to me. Those are the two guys
Speaker 5: that popped off the film to me. And he was
Speaker 5: always around the ball. Well, he's in the game, like he's,
Speaker 5: he's he's very disruptive.
Speaker 1: They popped off like a.
Speaker 5: Like a pop popped tart. Yeah, out of keep your
Speaker 5: eye on him though, seriously, he's not. He's not a
Speaker 5: guy that I plan on him getting sacks and things
Speaker 5: like that. But in terms of run defense, he's he's
Speaker 5: a disruptor. He really is a disruptor.
Speaker 1: Three to two zero says, just run the ball. I
Speaker 1: like that. I like not going to be Go watch
Speaker 1: film Room from this week. Go watch film Room from
Speaker 1: this week. Kyle and I broke it. Things to clean up.
Speaker 1: There's some things that need to get cleaned up.
Speaker 5: And I know a lot of people are focusing in
Speaker 5: on Tony Pollard and oh he's not being productive and
Speaker 5: we're talking about how.
Speaker 1: He's not getting enough touches.
Speaker 5: Go watch Film Room if you guys are concerned about
Speaker 5: the Dallas Cowboys running attack, go watch it. Kyle and
Speaker 5: I break it down. It's probably about what's about seven
Speaker 5: minute segment there. Yeah, spend seven minutes of your time
Speaker 5: to become the smartest one in the room. We show
Speaker 5: you all the things that are that are playing a
Speaker 5: part in the ineffectiveness of the Dallas Cowboys running offense,
Speaker 5: from Tony Pollard messing up to guys missing blocks. There's
Speaker 5: there's some things that need to get tightened up, and
Speaker 5: there's some opportunities there. There's just small adjustments. But go
Speaker 5: watch it if you guys want to know a little
Speaker 5: bit more. As we we dove into the film room
Speaker 5: a little bit.
Speaker 7: But to add to that really quickly, I feel like
Speaker 7: Tony Pollard has been playing his best ball over the
Speaker 7: past few weeks since Buffalo really aside from the one
Speaker 7: play last week that could have got him into the
Speaker 7: end zone.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he's been looking at some of the end zone.
Speaker 4: I think we're talking about Tony Pollard at it for
Speaker 4: a different light.
Speaker 1: He's been looking like Tony Pollard over the last like.
Speaker 5: Three weeks, all thirteen touches. That's the problem too, That's
Speaker 5: what he's averaging thirteen point eight touches.
Speaker 7: For my math, Yeah, final matchup'll dive into here is
Speaker 7: DeMarcus Lawrence versus Pinne Sool. Also threw Micah in here
Speaker 7: as well because he'll he'll line up with him. But
Speaker 7: specifically why I want to highlight DeMarcus and Penne Pinne
Speaker 7: Stool is one of the best run blockers in the
Speaker 7: entire NFL, especially as a right tackle. It's it's really
Speaker 7: important DeMarcus Lawrence. I've said it many times on the show.
Speaker 7: He's the best run defender on this team. So for
Speaker 7: the Cowboys to be able to limit the edges and
Speaker 7: not let Jamiir Gibbs specifically have a big game, it's
Speaker 7: gonna be big for DeMarcus Lawrence to get around pine Sool.
Speaker 7: And then we're talking about pass rush perspective. This is
Speaker 7: where we can kind of incorporate Micah pine Stools giving
Speaker 7: up sixteen pressures this year and only one sack.
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's been awesome.
Speaker 7: Seven penalties and obviously it'll stay at seven this week,
Speaker 7: but yeah, sixteen total pressures. He's been awesome as far
Speaker 7: as pass blocking as well, But it's the run blocking specifically,
Speaker 7: is when I wanted to highlight here really quick on
Speaker 7: the final matchup.

Speaker 4: Cowboys and the Lions. The Lions fresh off their first
Speaker 4: division title since nineteen ninety three. The Cowboys had ten
Speaker 4: and five still chasing the division title this year, but

Speaker 4: But I yeah, I can't give them for I think
Speaker 4: they abandoned the run. I can't give them for I
