0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 1>from a Sunday noon game to a Saturday night game,

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and get it out of the way. Get

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys ready for the playoffs. How's everybody doing today? Great? Good?

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's good? Nick? You wanta give me a ninety one LP? Wow?

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Is that kind of damn best you got? Darren Benson?

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.959
<v Speaker 1>You ever heard of him? Yeah? He was. He was

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 1>doing some roofing work in in nineteen ninety four and

0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.039
<v Speaker 1>they Cowboys called him and said, you want to play football?

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 1>A pretty big guy. They're like, yeah, okay, and he

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 1>played a couple of years. Darren Benson, Okay, don't like

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.040
<v Speaker 1>a story. It seemed fair to say that kind of

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.320
<v Speaker 1>day about a guy who was here for like sixteen years.

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I think he's got did his job. Most great stories

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 1>in the history of the Cowboys, does he? Yes? Yeah,

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah. The way you got here, I mean, we've

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>never done it before. We've never ever other than one

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>time in two thousand and five, if we stayed over

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>for a week forty nine Ers Raiders. And because of that,

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>when you say stayed over, we were in town for

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 1>one game, we stayed the entire week in that city

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>for another game that was going to be in the

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 1>first game against the forty nine Ers, this deep snapper

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.919
<v Speaker 1>had another bad snap and Parcels were like, yet you're

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>out cut? Them, you gotta get someone else, and since

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>we're out there, can we get someone local. There's a

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>guy over here Atkyle Berkeley named LP a little bit

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.679
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, okay, well get him in here and

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>see if he can do it just for a little bit.

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.080
<v Speaker 1>And then he did it for seventeen years without a

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 1>bad snap. It's amazing. If we were back to Dallas,

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 1>like we've probably should have been. Parcels just wanted to

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:31.639
<v Speaker 1>do that. If we were back to Dallas, then we

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 1>would have gotten the pool of you know, seventeen snappers

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 1>and this guy, this guy cool, and probably LP would

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 1>have never done it. Also, like at this point has

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>trained a decent number of successful long snappers that are

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 1>in the league right now. I don't I don't know

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 1>their names he did. I don't know their names off

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 1>the top of my head. But there were at least

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>like three or four long snappers in the league right

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.520
<v Speaker 1>now who were to his understudy and training camp who

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>went on to be successful. Just working under him for

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>a summer here we had, Yeah, there's probably four. Crater

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:08.399
<v Speaker 1>c was one of them. Would yeah there, Like I said,

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:09.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't know their names, but there have been a

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 1>few really really. You can scoff at it all you want,

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.119
<v Speaker 1>but like the best long snapper and team history and

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:21.359
<v Speaker 1>one of the best ever. No, he was the LP

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 1>was the best LP. I mean, hellster, I did it

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>for equally as long he did, what twenty something years? Right?

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.519
<v Speaker 1>How long is he here? Not not that long? Not

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>that How long is he you know? Not off the

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 1>top of my head, but I know lpsteen ninety to

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and one. I don't know, twelve years, I

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>guess something like that. If LP didn't set the record

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 1>for years served, he definitely like tied it, right, Yeah,

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>he didn't have the most games. No, you know, Witten

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>was like, you guys, gotta come on now. Never heard

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>his voice ever, not once LP. Yeah, I don't know

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.119
<v Speaker 1>what he hounds. Not a big talker, not a very

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>not a very friendly guy he would like. That's probably

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>what you hear about voice, way more than is him

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 1>as a long snipper. See, I'm I'm more than willing

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>to acknowledge your contributions on the field, even if you

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>weren't the nicest off of it. That's okay, I guess

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 1>all right, let's go ahead and get into some of

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 1>the we'll talk on this team. Let's talk about a

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>couple guys on the injury report. Let's start first with

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 1>jay Ron Kursey popped up yesterday on the injury report.

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Was limited, but Mike McCarthy had a couple of things

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>to say. What do we hear Dave from McCarthy on him?

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.160
<v Speaker 1>He's got a hammy, didn't do well they walked through yesterday. Anyway,

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>they're not expecting him to do a lot today, at

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 1>least not at the outset. Questionable to play, which hey

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 1>sit him? Oh no, a really good player can't play

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>in this game and needs to take the week off. No,

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I hate that. I don't like getting my guys rest

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.080
<v Speaker 1>heading into the playoffs. Is also on the list limited.

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you're Pollard, so I'm sure you're probably thinking

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 1>the same thing. They're like, please just sit him down.

0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I guess I'll just have to watch Edo Smith like terrible.

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.040
<v Speaker 1>I haven't heard that, Like that was you and Lindsay

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:10.040
<v Speaker 1>doing that? Yeah, I was like, I've heard that somewhere before.

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 1>But it's just my whiny baby voice. I mean, hopefully

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>these guys are all okay, and it becomes a problem

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.840
<v Speaker 1>if they're not ready for the playoffs. But I thought

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.719
<v Speaker 1>that was kind of like y'all, sort of a Mickey voice.

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.160
<v Speaker 1>We have a lot of bits, Lindsay Draper, and I

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of bits. Lindsey me too, She says, Hi,

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>I talked to her often. Her kids are great. Funny

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.600
<v Speaker 1>thing is I literally this was And I'm getting way

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>off the track here, but you are this is literally

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.880
<v Speaker 1>a two or three months ago. Me and my wife

0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>were out. We never go out. We were out one

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:42.160
<v Speaker 1>night at a bar having drinks, and who runs up

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 1>on us but Lindsay and her husband. And there is

0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.280
<v Speaker 1>like a rooftop bar at a hotel and they're staying

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>at the hotel. They're in town for the weekend. So

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:50.840
<v Speaker 1>we got to hang out with them a little bit.

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I miss her. I really miss sir same.

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's let's find out about Blake Darwin. Like

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.920
<v Speaker 1>there was, there's news around him right His practice window

0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 1>has been activated, so he should be out there today.

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 1>It's fun. So he got they have twenty one days

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:10.840
<v Speaker 1>to evaluate him. There's no rhyme or reason to what

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 1>that means. If you remember, they activated Maurice Kennedy's practice

0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 1>window gave him like three hours to get ready and

0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>then activated him to the roster. Some guys they take

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 1>all the way through the twenty one days. I think

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:26.039
<v Speaker 1>it just depends on how physically fit you are. He

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 1>according to the rules, there's nothing stopping him from being

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 1>activated and playing against Philly, but that'll probably depend on

0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 1>how he practices. That's a situation where you would love

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 1>to get him out there and get him on the

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.040
<v Speaker 1>grass and just get him back in the flow of

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 1>a football game before the playoffs. But even if that's

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:47.040
<v Speaker 1>not doable, it's very encouraging to think. I mean, he'll

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 1>be available for the playoffs. That's just a guest by me.

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.240
<v Speaker 1>But if you're at practicing this week, that gives you

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.680
<v Speaker 1>next week. I think he'll be available for the playoffs. Well,

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm a little I'm interested to see how they will

0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>do that. You know, how they'll use him, Um, if

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 1>he is active, you know, say for the playoff game,

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>because they like McEwen, Sprinkle gets some decent amount of

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 1>snaps for blocking tight end. But they also can have

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 1>all these other guys jumbo packages and stuff like that,

0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know if you would need the four

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 1>tight ends. But yeah, I mean I definitely think you

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.160
<v Speaker 1>use them if he's out there, And I agree with David,

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 1>if he's ready to play, I'd play him for this game.

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Just get him some snaps, get him back in the flow,

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.760
<v Speaker 1>because when the playoff game hits, it'll be That's what

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say. I'm like, if he's ready by then,

0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 1>by the playoff game for sure, at that point, how

0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 1>much work do you actually give him to where he

0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 1>is going to be productive for you with being on

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 1>the field. He's been out for what is it now,

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 1>long time, so it makes me wonder, like how much

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 1>time does he really need us, like playing time to

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of get back into things and actually be productive. Yeah,

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I think I just don't. I don't like the setup

0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.840
<v Speaker 1>at tight end. I don't like these two tight ends

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 1>as your tight ends because they don't block. That's the problem.

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>You don't think that's a big deal. No, I mean yes,

0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 1>but I mean they both okay, they're both pass catchers,

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 1>but they don't do what you want them to do

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.800
<v Speaker 1>to like two tight end set. Could they run? Could

0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:18.960
<v Speaker 1>they pass? They're probably gonna pass because they're not gonna

0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 1>They don't get an advantage by having two tight ends

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.320
<v Speaker 1>that just maul you and run. These aren't the two

0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 1>tight ends sets that create this mismatch problems, because they

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 1>are problems sometimes in the running game. But I will

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 1>say this, there have been I think there have been

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:36.679
<v Speaker 1>games this year where Dalton Schultz has been pretty good blocker.

0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:38.679
<v Speaker 1>I know there have been players where I've seen him

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.199
<v Speaker 1>make some really good blocks. And that doesn't mean he's

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:44.200
<v Speaker 1>a consistent blocker. That doesn't mean he reminds me of

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.600
<v Speaker 1>what Jason Witten was for a lot of his career.

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Like I think early in his career he got the

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 1>reputation of being a really great blocker, and I think

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.000
<v Speaker 1>he was earlier. I think as he got into his career,

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:54.920
<v Speaker 1>he was a willing block in the way, which means

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:56.079
<v Speaker 1>he knew how to get in the way, he knew

0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 1>how to position his body, and in doing so, he

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.319
<v Speaker 1>could create the right kinds of opportunities I kind of

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>lanes for running game. I think Dalton Schultz has become

0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 1>that kind of blocker. He's not horrible at it. I'm

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.600
<v Speaker 1>fine any and I'm fine with that. Yeah, don't need

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 1>two of them. See I actually I disagree, And it's

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 1>not they're not They're they're not. Yeah, we need that, right,

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.200
<v Speaker 1>we do every once in a while. At least. They're

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 1>not great blockers, and we've there. You can go pull

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 1>up the tape of both of them failing in especially

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 1>in space, going all the way. But what you just like,

0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.679
<v Speaker 1>you always like, I feel like you're gonna interject, even

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 1>though I'm about to agree with you. Okay, I want

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:33.920
<v Speaker 1>to I want to hear you go, so go. They're

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.240
<v Speaker 1>not great blockers, they're not good in space, they're not

0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.600
<v Speaker 1>good one on one. But what they do, and especially

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 1>they work in tandem, like when they run twelve personnel

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 1>with these guys, they're almost always next to each other,

0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:48.800
<v Speaker 1>and together they can be useful in that regard. They

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:50.880
<v Speaker 1>can seal off the backside. They can keep a guy

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.200
<v Speaker 1>from coming around the edge and that opens up their

0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>back to get where he needs to get without somebody

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>chasing him down. They can do that type of stuff.

0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 1>And they're both really at athletic. So if the Cowboys

0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 1>go twelve personnel with Blake, Dalton, Cooper and CD and

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.040
<v Speaker 1>you load the box because it's twelve personnel and you

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.199
<v Speaker 1>think they're gonna run, well, you're screwed now because you

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 1>got two really athletic tight ends who can get out

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.360
<v Speaker 1>in space on top of your receiver personnel, and if

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.320
<v Speaker 1>you drop back because you're worried about what they can

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 1>do in the passing game, they're good enough to be

0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.640
<v Speaker 1>plus blockers together. Like it's they're not Marty B. They're

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.960
<v Speaker 1>not just gonna mash the front side, d end on

0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 1>their own and hold the edge so you can get

0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.240
<v Speaker 1>around them. But together they can do just enough to

0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 1>make the running game viable while making you respect the

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.440
<v Speaker 1>passing game. Yep, I agree with that. I know That's

0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 1>why I got frustrated because I was like, you're gonna

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 1>try to make my point for me. No, no, no,

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:44.079
<v Speaker 1>I agree with that, and I will say this too.

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.079
<v Speaker 1>I will say when it comes to the twelve personnel,

0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what he can add to this, because

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.080
<v Speaker 1>what we were talking about back when they were coming

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 1>into the season was where are you gonna go twelve?

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Or are you gonna go third? Or are you gonna

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.439
<v Speaker 1>go I'm sorry eleven. When you have Michael Gallup and

0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 1>you had those tree wide receivers, it was kind of

0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.640
<v Speaker 1>that well, which which gives you an advantage. Well, now

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.559
<v Speaker 1>without Gallup, I actually think that you might have a

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.400
<v Speaker 1>little bit more of an advantage having those two tight

0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.680
<v Speaker 1>ends with two wide receivers, because you can do some

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 1>different things with Jarwin up the middle of the field,

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.680
<v Speaker 1>which I don't think they've exploited quite enough this year.

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I think they use cd in in that role some,

0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:15.840
<v Speaker 1>but I think they can do more with that. And

0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 1>it's funny because I think I think Blake has ten

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.040
<v Speaker 1>catches on the year, Like I don't think he even

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.079
<v Speaker 1>has one hundred receiving yards on the year. Like I

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.200
<v Speaker 1>don't want to, I definitely don't want to blow this

0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.840
<v Speaker 1>out of proportion like this is he does. Yeah, but

0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:32.319
<v Speaker 1>I just think his ten catches for ninety and two touchdowns.

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 1>We're not talking about bringing Kelsey into the lineup, you know,

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:41.400
<v Speaker 1>but his skill set. I don't think it's a coincidence

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.600
<v Speaker 1>that when they lost that personnel grouping that was when

0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 1>they were at their best. It was when they had

0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 1>they love twelve personnel. Kellen Moore loves it. They've been

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.400
<v Speaker 1>using it like a quarter of the time, even with

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 1>all the receivers that they have, and I just don't

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 1>think it's been the same since Blake left. And so

0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:59.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if this is a magic pill. But

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm optimistic that this could be really beneficial for them.

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 1>All right, Okay, my point. Really, they'll be fine in

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 1>these couple of games. I don't think it's going to

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:09.440
<v Speaker 1>be the make or break in the playoffs or whatever.

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.120
<v Speaker 1>But you do have some decisions to make coming up

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:15.439
<v Speaker 1>next year. You've already paid Blake Dalton. Schultz is getting

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:19.600
<v Speaker 1>close to eighty catches for a season. He might be gone,

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and he probably will be. But you know,

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you signed both of them. I think

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 1>you need. I mean, I don't think you have both

0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.080
<v Speaker 1>of those contracts here, but I mean if you had

0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 1>to pick one of the two, I mean, wouldn't be Schultz. Well, well,

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.200
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's the conversation we definitely will have

0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.760
<v Speaker 1>because I think, yeah, that's offseason conversation because and the

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:38.840
<v Speaker 1>reason why I say that's because I do think you

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.960
<v Speaker 1>have a very tough decision there to make, Because it's

0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.199
<v Speaker 1>not so much that of the preference of one or

0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.240
<v Speaker 1>the other. It's about how much Dalton's gonna cost you.

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 1>That may be a very well, relatively expensive it's it

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 1>might be a contract more expensive than you thought you

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.240
<v Speaker 1>would have coming into this season just based upon his

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 1>production this year. All we're gonna take our first break

0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:57.319
<v Speaker 1>and we come back. We got Bucky on the line.

0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.280

<v Speaker 1>most stupendous to night WrestleMania in the history of visitgeek

0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 1>dot com. Welcome back, second second of the Break Life

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:23.480
<v Speaker 1>in s WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. We are

0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 1>joined right now by Bucky Brooks and NFL Network. Bucky,

0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 1>you were listening in on that last conversation that we

0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 1>had about Blake Jarlin and his return, what he might

0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.600
<v Speaker 1>bring to this team once he returns. Tell me what

0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:38.600
<v Speaker 1>your thoughts are on them. Look at me. I think

0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 1>it may be a blessing in disguise for the Cowboys

0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.600
<v Speaker 1>if that's the boom, because what it may do it

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 1>may force Killing Moore and Mike McCarthy to balance up

0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 1>the office little bit, not just in terms of run fast,

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 1>but in terms of formation diversity. Killing Moore was the

0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:55.200
<v Speaker 1>guy that played a boy the state Chris Peterson with

0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.440
<v Speaker 1>the head coach, that they utilize a lot of motions

0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 1>and shifts to kind of change up the look and

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.680
<v Speaker 1>what it does. And here's the advantage of twelve personnel.

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 1>It adds extra gap for the running game. And so

0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.640
<v Speaker 1>regardless of whether the guy can block or not, from

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 1>a defensive perspective, do you have to account for the

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 1>extra gaps when you have an extra body at the

0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.480
<v Speaker 1>end of the line, whether it's tight end on either

0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 1>side or tight ends in a wing formation. And so

0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.080
<v Speaker 1>what it does is it makes the defense after just

0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.400
<v Speaker 1>it also creates some opportunities maybe where you can create

0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.640
<v Speaker 1>one on one coverage for a Marit Cooper and Cde Lamb,

0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.200
<v Speaker 1>And so it may not be all bad. Then they

0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.440
<v Speaker 1>have to use a little more twelve personnel because it

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 1>could help them not only in the running game, but

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.880
<v Speaker 1>in the passing Again, So just so I'm clear on

0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 1>what kind of what you're saying is is with Jarwin

0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 1>out there as opposed to a Connor McGovern, they might

0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.720
<v Speaker 1>lose a little bit in the space blocking, but this

0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:52.120
<v Speaker 1>the versatility of Jarwin could do more things, is probably

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:55.360
<v Speaker 1>more beneficial. Is that what you're saying, Well, yeah, because

0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.080
<v Speaker 1>then as a defensive coordinated you got to make a decision. Okay,

0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 1>how do we want to treat there? It in do

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 1>you want to treat them as a wide receiver? Do

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:03.920
<v Speaker 1>you want to treat them as tight ends? Do you

0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:06.639
<v Speaker 1>want to put a base personnel or nickel personnel on

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.720
<v Speaker 1>the field. And depending upon how you kind of do

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:12.879
<v Speaker 1>the alignment, you put both tight ends on one side

0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:14.960
<v Speaker 1>and the NCD Lamb and Cooper on the other side.

0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:17.320
<v Speaker 1>You put them where the wide receivers are wide and

0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:20.040
<v Speaker 1>to tied end or inside. There are a bunch of

0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.800
<v Speaker 1>different things that you can do to create one on

0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:24.879
<v Speaker 1>one matchup. Now. I don't know if tell them more

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.960
<v Speaker 1>of want to get into his bag like that versus Philadelphia,

0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.439
<v Speaker 1>But it has to be something that's the thought because

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:33.239
<v Speaker 1>when you get into the postseason, you got to have

0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:37.399
<v Speaker 1>something that you may not have shown. A wrinkle, a trick,

0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:41.280
<v Speaker 1>a gimmick, something to just roll opponents off. And so

0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:43.280
<v Speaker 1>it may give them an opportunity to be a little

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:47.240
<v Speaker 1>more diverse and some of their formation and alignments and

0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe even some of the play coling to be used.

0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Buck going back to the Eagles, I mean, all I

0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:58.359
<v Speaker 1>keep hearing about is how well the Eagles have run

0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the ball since they kind of got their act together.

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Am shoot, it was week three. It feels like a

0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.800
<v Speaker 1>lifetime and goo since then. So just when people say that,

0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what exactly are they doing? And I know

0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:12.440
<v Speaker 1>they got guys on the COVID list for the purposes

0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.719
<v Speaker 1>of this, let's just pretend like they don't. What are

0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.200
<v Speaker 1>they doing that's making them so successful running the ball?

0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:23.720
<v Speaker 1>They become the NFL's version of Oklahoma. Basically, they're lining

0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:27.119
<v Speaker 1>up and running Jim and Hurst's offense from Oklahoma. He

0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.640
<v Speaker 1>is that quarterback. He's a sent a piece of the offense.

0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:33.280
<v Speaker 1>He's not Lamar Jackson, but they used them like Lamar Jacklins.

0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's the center, the focus on the running game.

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:38.920
<v Speaker 1>And so when the quarterback runs and you got GT

0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:44.800
<v Speaker 1>pool garden tackle pool counters, read game, it changes how

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.200
<v Speaker 1>you have to play on defense. And because so few

0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:51.240
<v Speaker 1>teams jutilize the quarterback like that, it's like playing Army

0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.600
<v Speaker 1>and Navy in a week. And so when they went

0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:57.679
<v Speaker 1>to that move, the offense exploded. They were rushing for

0:18:57.880 --> 0:19:00.280
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and seventy five per game over like five

0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:03.920
<v Speaker 1>or six games. Stretch and the crazy They weren't even

0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.520
<v Speaker 1>using the mouth standards at that point. Then they started

0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.720
<v Speaker 1>incorporating the running backs and all that other stuff. It

0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:13.159
<v Speaker 1>gave them an identity and some confidence. And so the

0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 1>problems that you've seen teams have with Baltimore in San

0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Francisco when they begin to utilize all the fucking stuff

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:25.320
<v Speaker 1>from Shotgun with jet sweeps and fly sweeps and quarterback run, yeah,

0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:28.760
<v Speaker 1>it's problematic. And now they have so much confidence in

0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:31.320
<v Speaker 1>it that they feel like they can beat you up.

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.240
<v Speaker 1>And it's made them a more physical and a tougher team,

0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:38.480
<v Speaker 1>which has also hit their defense. Bucky, what are your

0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:41.360
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on playing the starters? This is a game where

0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys kind of start out slow and it goes

0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:47.840
<v Speaker 1>into the second half where you're still kind of trailing behind.

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you keep the starters in, do you pull them out?

0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:54.280
<v Speaker 1>What do you do? Well? It's a trade. White. If

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:56.320
<v Speaker 1>you told me that last week that the Cowboys played

0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:59.000
<v Speaker 1>well against the Cardinals and everything was butting up, I

0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:00.879
<v Speaker 1>was like, Hey, give me talk could be fresh and

0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.280
<v Speaker 1>ready to go in the playoffs. Because they didn't play

0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:05.480
<v Speaker 1>as well, I think they have to play a little more. Now.

0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.200
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to risk injury because the only thing

0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:11.119
<v Speaker 1>that you're playing for maybe is seating. But it seems

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.960
<v Speaker 1>like you're already locked in to Arizona, So you kind

0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:15.560
<v Speaker 1>of want to treat this like one of the final

0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.720
<v Speaker 1>preseason games. You want to give them enough work if

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:22.760
<v Speaker 1>you're good about going into the postseason, but you don't

0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:26.159
<v Speaker 1>want to expose them too much because you want everyone

0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.840
<v Speaker 1>available and ready to playing the post seasons. All Right,

0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:30.920
<v Speaker 1>So I'm looking at this team, and I'm looking at

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:33.440
<v Speaker 1>what they have done so far this year in Philadelphia

0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about and I noticed the fact that they

0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:39.479
<v Speaker 1>have not beaten a single team that's over five hundred.

0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Their best wins came against New Orleans, who's eight and eight, Denver,

0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:45.359
<v Speaker 1>who's seven and nine, in Atlanta, who's seven and nine.

0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:49.359
<v Speaker 1>Is their record recently in their production and then getting

0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:51.679
<v Speaker 1>in the playoffs. Is all that a reflection of the

0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:54.320
<v Speaker 1>opponents that they've played, or do you think that team

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:59.600
<v Speaker 1>is good enough to actually make some noise in the playoffs? Look? Man,

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:01.760
<v Speaker 1>look you are what your rector says you are? Is

0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:04.879
<v Speaker 1>that what Bill Bull says? Yeah? Um, they haven't beaten

0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:07.760
<v Speaker 1>any major teams, but all they can do is be

0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 1>the teams that are on this KIP. I would just

0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:13.520
<v Speaker 1>say that their style of play is tricky and if

0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:17.720
<v Speaker 1>you're not ready for quarterback run game, you're not ready

0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:19.920
<v Speaker 1>for some of the re option stuff and power be

0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:23.320
<v Speaker 1>stuff that they do. Yeah, it can get ugly at times.

0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Um are they the best team you know? But a

0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:29.560
<v Speaker 1>team playing with a bunch of confidence that somehow found

0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:32.360
<v Speaker 1>their way into the postseason tournament when no one expected

0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 1>to be there. They're dangerous team and for them, man,

0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:37.879
<v Speaker 1>they would love nothing better than a knockoffs down. So

0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:40.160
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be ready to play, regardless of who's playing,

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:42.040
<v Speaker 1>how long they play, and so it's one of those

0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:44.119
<v Speaker 1>games where you gotta get ready, gonna buckle up that

0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:46.760
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna play. It's a robbery game. Fucky. Do you

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:49.920
<v Speaker 1>vote for players of the year? Do you get that

0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:53.800
<v Speaker 1>vote for like APT defense Player of the Year and stuff. Yeah,

0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:55.919
<v Speaker 1>I just get I just get to do the Twitter stuff.

0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:58.560
<v Speaker 1>That's it. It's good since since you don't have to,

0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:02.080
<v Speaker 1>since you're not revealing your vote. Who would be your

0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:07.280
<v Speaker 1>comeback player of the year in the NFL? Man definitely

0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:10.639
<v Speaker 1>back player of the year. I mean, it's loaded because

0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:14.720
<v Speaker 1>nobody was saying Jack. But I think Dak's paid. Yeah,

0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:20.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of made it hard. Um, Cincinnati, I mean, Joe Burr.

0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:22.800
<v Speaker 1>You can't count Joe Burrows a comeback player, can you?

0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Like you can't, But like, how many games did he wins?

0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:30.560
<v Speaker 1>He like all the legaments in his knee. I think

0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:33.119
<v Speaker 1>if he's if he's Ellible Ford, then I would just

0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:37.040
<v Speaker 1>dave a ball and go with it. I mean, just

0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:41.159
<v Speaker 1>just because there's something to seeing him coast look like

0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:43.200
<v Speaker 1>he does in the locker room. You see him with

0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Jamar Chase and Tyler Boyd, he cigars up. You see

0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:49.040
<v Speaker 1>him with a back Taylor and everybody else. He's super corporate.

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:51.720
<v Speaker 1>I give him credit because he's one of the best

0:22:51.800 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 1>that I've seen from a leadership perspective of being able

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:56.600
<v Speaker 1>to bring everybody an So, yeah, if he's Dollible, he

0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:58.679
<v Speaker 1>definitely should be not only comeback player of the year.

0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I think you got to talk in the MVP conversation, Okay, don't.

0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't hate that. I mean because I'll say this.

0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:09.640
<v Speaker 1>I was in Cincinnati last year when the Cowboys were

0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:13.399
<v Speaker 1>a bad football team and dominated that train wreck of

0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:16.160
<v Speaker 1>a team. But Brandon Allen and those guys they were

0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:19.360
<v Speaker 1>bad and to think that three hundred and sixty five

0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:22.959
<v Speaker 1>days later that here they are winning a tough division.

0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's a tough, gritty division. And to win

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:29.399
<v Speaker 1>it with him, Yeah, he's pretty valuable. So yeah, I

0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:31.840
<v Speaker 1>think the difference is I think a couple of things

0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:34.480
<v Speaker 1>that I learnt from watching Cincinnati kind of about back. One.

0:23:34.640 --> 0:23:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Quarterback is everything, and quarterback has to go beyond what

0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:40.880
<v Speaker 1>they look like, how they throw it or whatever. It's

0:23:40.960 --> 0:23:44.520
<v Speaker 1>more field and intangible, and that's are the culture changes

0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:47.480
<v Speaker 1>in the locker room. Technically, they did a good job

0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:50.000
<v Speaker 1>on defense, and no one talks about their defense. If

0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:51.720
<v Speaker 1>you want to be a team that is blue collar

0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:54.480
<v Speaker 1>and you pride yourself and being like a try hard,

0:23:54.520 --> 0:23:57.240
<v Speaker 1>work hard team, you have to get guys that embody

0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:00.960
<v Speaker 1>that Trey Hendricks and Sam Hubbard, even Cheeto when he

0:24:01.040 --> 0:24:03.399
<v Speaker 1>was playing, he was doing a good job everybody on

0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:06.600
<v Speaker 1>their defense the brand, and I think that is the

0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:08.280
<v Speaker 1>big thing that you have to do when you reading

0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:12.080
<v Speaker 1>your team. Buck. I'm interested in one of the last

0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:16.080
<v Speaker 1>things you said about the Eagles. It's possible they played

0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Dallas in the playoffs, but not super likely. If I

0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:22.399
<v Speaker 1>had to guess it's looking like they're gonna play the

0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Rams or maybe the Buccaneers. Is there a team that

0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:29.720
<v Speaker 1>you think the Eagles match up really well with in

0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the sense that you know they might be the seventh seed,

0:24:32.200 --> 0:24:36.080
<v Speaker 1>but they could give somebody fits. I think it gets them.

0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:40.080
<v Speaker 1>You're okay playing the ram because the Ram's biggest issue

0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:42.280
<v Speaker 1>had been when people have stocked him in the mouth.

0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Physical football teams have given them problems. We saw him

0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:48.040
<v Speaker 1>struggle last week. Could get in Baltimore, but the backup

0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:50.439
<v Speaker 1>quarterback in Tyler Huntley and a team that has been

0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:53.560
<v Speaker 1>ravaged by injuries. So you're the Philadelphia Eagles, You're okay

0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:56.520
<v Speaker 1>lining up and having to play Matthew Stafford. And that

0:24:56.840 --> 0:25:00.359
<v Speaker 1>because even though the Ramblers motivates, star powered and they

0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:03.240
<v Speaker 1>may be the best team that emerges in the NFC,

0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:05.639
<v Speaker 1>I think you take your chances on being able to

0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:07.600
<v Speaker 1>deal with the team. Then more to death and powers

0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:14.320
<v Speaker 1>other than winning this game and having no injuries, are

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:18.080
<v Speaker 1>what are you looking for in this game? Cowboy's got

0:25:18.119 --> 0:25:20.159
<v Speaker 1>to get back on track. Like I don't like some

0:25:20.240 --> 0:25:21.920
<v Speaker 1>of the things that came out of the last game.

0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't like all the wine. And then crying about

0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:27.280
<v Speaker 1>officiating and that stuff, because to me it may be

0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:30.600
<v Speaker 1>paused a little bit because it springs up immaturity. And

0:25:31.359 --> 0:25:33.399
<v Speaker 1>I just need to see them play well because despite

0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:35.480
<v Speaker 1>the bad cause, a lot of the issues that the

0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys had were self inflicted. And when you have turnovers,

0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:42.000
<v Speaker 1>you have a bunch of penalties, you have errors in

0:25:42.040 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 1>the kicking game, and you give up big plays over

0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:46.680
<v Speaker 1>the top of the defense, you're going to lose game.

0:25:47.040 --> 0:25:49.040
<v Speaker 1>And so that part of it needs to be cleaned

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:51.760
<v Speaker 1>up because for the majority of the season, the Cowboys

0:25:51.800 --> 0:25:54.800
<v Speaker 1>are being great at those areas and so I don't

0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:57.800
<v Speaker 1>like trans happening. So I want to see that be erased.

0:25:57.920 --> 0:25:59.920
<v Speaker 1>So they play well against Philadelphia and to claim for

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:02.080
<v Speaker 1>ball game? And did you feel better about what? Did chance?

0:26:02.160 --> 0:26:04.439
<v Speaker 1>Starting to post? You? All right? Buck, We'll appreciate you man.

<v Speaker 1>Welcome back. Final segment of the Break Life in s

0:28:37.760 --> 0:28:41.080
<v Speaker 1>WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star, we're talking Philadelphia offense

0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:43.480
<v Speaker 1>in Dallas defense. I did have a question for you

0:28:43.560 --> 0:28:46.560
<v Speaker 1>guys about this defense and how they match up against Philadelphia.

0:28:46.680 --> 0:28:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Right now, Dallas is twenty fourth NFL. There ranked twenty

0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:53.400
<v Speaker 1>fourth in rushing yards per attempt at four point giving

0:28:53.440 --> 0:28:56.120
<v Speaker 1>up four point five yards per tempt. Do you see

0:28:56.160 --> 0:28:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the rush defense as a problem for Dallas because there

0:28:59.000 --> 0:29:01.280
<v Speaker 1>have been some games it's been kind of like shaky,

0:29:01.640 --> 0:29:03.320
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know if they've been killed by it.

0:29:03.480 --> 0:29:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Do you see it as a weakness. They've been killed

0:29:05.800 --> 0:29:09.000
<v Speaker 1>by it one time and it was Denver in my opinion,

0:29:10.040 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 1>and everybody on the team admits that they forgot to

0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:16.920
<v Speaker 1>show up for that game. So no, yeah, I mean

0:29:17.000 --> 0:29:19.680
<v Speaker 1>they're not great, but I've never felt like it was

0:29:19.880 --> 0:29:23.920
<v Speaker 1>just this this issue that's going to kill them, you

0:29:24.000 --> 0:29:26.600
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. Yeah, it's not like last year.

0:29:26.920 --> 0:29:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Last year that was a big problem. It was the

0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:34.480
<v Speaker 1>worst I've ever seen. I've seen high schools that play

0:29:34.480 --> 0:29:36.720
<v Speaker 1>the run better than last year's. Y. Yeah, it was bad.

0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:41.400
<v Speaker 1>But to my point, it's like when they're doing so

0:29:41.560 --> 0:29:44.080
<v Speaker 1>much else for you and it's not you're not walking

0:29:44.160 --> 0:29:46.480
<v Speaker 1>out of a game and we get on this show

0:29:46.600 --> 0:29:50.440
<v Speaker 1>talking man that run defense, they just absolutely suck. Well,

0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:53.200
<v Speaker 1>they're not great or the best at it, but they're

0:29:53.240 --> 0:29:55.200
<v Speaker 1>giving you so much more to the point where you're

0:29:55.240 --> 0:29:58.280
<v Speaker 1>not necessarily complaining about it that much. So it could

0:29:58.360 --> 0:30:00.400
<v Speaker 1>come back and bite you in the butt in the

0:30:00.520 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 1>playoffs if they're unable to perform in other areas on

0:30:05.160 --> 0:30:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the field. So as of right now, I don't I

0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:10.280
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's a huge I would rather take what

0:30:10.400 --> 0:30:13.120
<v Speaker 1>they're doing right now. It's it's the same as almost

0:30:13.760 --> 0:30:17.600
<v Speaker 1>every other facet of the Cowboys game, you know, it

0:30:17.760 --> 0:30:22.000
<v Speaker 1>really is. I mean, look at the run defense. It's like, no,

0:30:22.240 --> 0:30:24.479
<v Speaker 1>they're not world beaters. They don't. They don't get gashed

0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:27.000
<v Speaker 1>every time either. I mean, I think it's the same

0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:29.880
<v Speaker 1>as the secondary. I think it's the same as the

0:30:30.000 --> 0:30:32.840
<v Speaker 1>passing game. I think it's the same as the kicker,

0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:34.640
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. You can say, oh, you

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:36.680
<v Speaker 1>want to about the kicker missing kicks. He's hit some

0:30:36.760 --> 0:30:39.960
<v Speaker 1>big kicks too, and so is that the biggest problem

0:30:40.000 --> 0:30:43.480
<v Speaker 1>for the same though that there's it's like they're not bad.

0:30:43.640 --> 0:30:46.320
<v Speaker 1>They're not great, but they're not bad. But like the

0:30:46.760 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 1>everybody just is this gonna be a problem. So it's

0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:51.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna be problems and it might be. I mean, think

0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:53.760
<v Speaker 1>about the Colts back in I think it was like

0:30:53.840 --> 0:30:57.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty two thousand and five. Vander Jack was their kicker.

0:30:57.320 --> 0:31:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he missed a kick all year. He

0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:03.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't miss a kick until the championship game and he

0:31:03.520 --> 0:31:05.920
<v Speaker 1>missed and they didn't go to the super Bowl. So

0:31:06.920 --> 0:31:09.200
<v Speaker 1>it can go the other way. I mean, you just

0:31:09.320 --> 0:31:11.360
<v Speaker 1>gotta go play the damn game. Like that's it. You

0:31:11.400 --> 0:31:13.680
<v Speaker 1>just gotta play the game. And so they've got some issues,

0:31:13.720 --> 0:31:16.400
<v Speaker 1>like they're just kind of in the middle. I also think,

0:31:16.440 --> 0:31:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean this, this team's potential is unlocked when they're

0:31:20.600 --> 0:31:23.280
<v Speaker 1>playing up to their offensive ability. That's when they've been

0:31:23.360 --> 0:31:25.320
<v Speaker 1>their best. And I think a big part of their

0:31:25.400 --> 0:31:28.120
<v Speaker 1>run defense not being a liability is they take that

0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:31.000
<v Speaker 1>away from you. The Saints also ran all over them

0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:33.280
<v Speaker 1>until they were put in a position where they couldn't

0:31:33.280 --> 0:31:35.360
<v Speaker 1>do that anymore. And then what happened. They started throwing

0:31:35.400 --> 0:31:39.360
<v Speaker 1>picks because Taysom Hill's awful, and I mean, I think

0:31:39.400 --> 0:31:42.560
<v Speaker 1>that's a big part of their game plan. And it's

0:31:42.640 --> 0:31:46.320
<v Speaker 1>not totally fair because Kyler Murray is unique. I mean,

0:31:46.400 --> 0:31:48.440
<v Speaker 1>there's there's only so much you can do to contain

0:31:48.520 --> 0:31:51.040
<v Speaker 1>a guy like that. But the Cardinals got the ball

0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:53.280
<v Speaker 1>back with how many minutes to play the other day

0:31:53.280 --> 0:31:56.280
<v Speaker 1>and they ran the clock out ye, And so, like

0:31:56.360 --> 0:31:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I said, it's not totally fair comparison because of who

0:31:58.920 --> 0:32:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Kyler is. But if you wind up in that situation,

0:32:01.960 --> 0:32:04.760
<v Speaker 1>like let's just say they're in Lambeau, do I completely

0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:07.640
<v Speaker 1>trust that they can stop aj Dillon and Aaron Jones

0:32:07.800 --> 0:32:10.960
<v Speaker 1>from pounding on them until the clock runs out? Not really,

0:32:11.240 --> 0:32:13.320
<v Speaker 1>but well, they're gonna have like good four days to

0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:16.520
<v Speaker 1>prepare for that or so why four or five? I

0:32:16.600 --> 0:32:19.960
<v Speaker 1>mean whatever, No I know, but just I guess my

0:32:20.080 --> 0:32:23.080
<v Speaker 1>point is. And of course, the deeper you get into

0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:24.840
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs, the better the teams you're gonna play, and

0:32:24.880 --> 0:32:26.960
<v Speaker 1>you're not gonna be able to build these second half leads.

0:32:27.080 --> 0:32:30.520
<v Speaker 1>But just like everything else, it's on the offense to

0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:32.800
<v Speaker 1>take some of that strain off the defense. In my opinion,

0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we're all we've all been very clear. This

0:32:35.760 --> 0:32:38.960
<v Speaker 1>defense is fantastic. There are such a huge success story,

0:32:39.640 --> 0:32:42.320
<v Speaker 1>but they're not at their best if the offense isn't

0:32:42.360 --> 0:32:45.200
<v Speaker 1>putting them in a better position. One thing to note

0:32:45.240 --> 0:32:47.360
<v Speaker 1>that I think we all should remember is that first

0:32:47.400 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 1>game Cowboys played against it Philly, and the argument can

0:32:50.320 --> 0:32:52.200
<v Speaker 1>be made that Philly is a very different team. Now.

0:32:53.200 --> 0:32:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Eight of the first offense, not eight of the first

0:32:55.720 --> 0:32:59.360
<v Speaker 1>nine offensive plays run by Philadelphia where passes they came

0:32:59.400 --> 0:33:00.840
<v Speaker 1>out with the hint that they were going to throw. Now,

0:33:00.880 --> 0:33:03.280
<v Speaker 1>they did throw an interception in those in those plays,

0:33:03.600 --> 0:33:06.440
<v Speaker 1>but they went into that game, whether it was strategic,

0:33:06.800 --> 0:33:09.320
<v Speaker 1>whether it was before they found their identity as this

0:33:09.520 --> 0:33:12.280
<v Speaker 1>running team, they came in that game with the intention

0:33:12.320 --> 0:33:13.600
<v Speaker 1>that they were going to try to throw the ball.

0:33:13.920 --> 0:33:16.000
<v Speaker 1>We'll see if that's going to be their intention this week,

0:33:16.080 --> 0:33:19.120
<v Speaker 1>but I suspect it's not on a twenty degree night

0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:21.920
<v Speaker 1>outside in Philly. I don't think, and by the way

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:23.880
<v Speaker 1>that their identity, as some would change. I don't know

0:33:23.960 --> 0:33:26.280
<v Speaker 1>that they had this identity of this running team back then.

0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:29.640
<v Speaker 1>But we will see, and we'll see if if they're

0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:33.000
<v Speaker 1>they're strategic, they go into this game strategically thinking we

0:33:33.080 --> 0:33:34.959
<v Speaker 1>got to put up points, and that forces them out

0:33:35.000 --> 0:33:36.600
<v Speaker 1>of what they want to do. Maybe I'm just the

0:33:36.680 --> 0:33:40.800
<v Speaker 1>hater and we won't really know, probably because the Eagles

0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:43.080
<v Speaker 1>are going to have guys missing because of COVID. I

0:33:43.200 --> 0:33:45.680
<v Speaker 1>still think the Cowboys are probably gonna do what Bucky

0:33:45.760 --> 0:33:49.000
<v Speaker 1>said and kind of be smart about snap counts. But Vegas,

0:33:49.920 --> 0:33:52.200
<v Speaker 1>what's I don't even know the spread like seven and

0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:55.840
<v Speaker 1>a half Dallas. Yeah, that's weird to me. But I

0:33:55.880 --> 0:33:58.640
<v Speaker 1>don't think Philly is a different team. I'm sorry, the

0:33:58.680 --> 0:34:01.600
<v Speaker 1>same thing. I think they're They've benefited from playing a

0:34:01.640 --> 0:34:04.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of in the league's trash at The Cowboys have

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:08.480
<v Speaker 1>only blown out one playoff team and that's Philly. And

0:34:08.560 --> 0:34:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I know the Philly is different than they were, but

0:34:10.239 --> 0:34:12.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, maybe not that much different. But but the

0:34:12.480 --> 0:34:15.040
<v Speaker 1>other two, you know, Patriots and the Chargers are not in.

0:34:15.200 --> 0:34:17.480
<v Speaker 1>But I think that they're gonna get in. Um, you know,

0:34:17.560 --> 0:34:19.600
<v Speaker 1>they took walk off touchdowns and then and then the

0:34:19.680 --> 0:34:22.239
<v Speaker 1>other playoff teams they didn't beat. So who would you say,

0:34:22.280 --> 0:34:26.880
<v Speaker 1>out of the two teams Cowboys and Eagles is playing

0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:29.800
<v Speaker 1>for the most in this game that would go in

0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:34.040
<v Speaker 1>that game. The Cowboys. The Cowboys, Well, a good question,

0:34:34.120 --> 0:34:37.520
<v Speaker 1>but the Cowboys a little bit because they their percentage,

0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, their chances of moving to three and even

0:34:40.680 --> 0:34:43.400
<v Speaker 1>or two. Philly doesn't I mean, Philly doesn't have a

0:34:43.400 --> 0:34:44.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of time. I mean, and even here's the thing,

0:34:45.200 --> 0:34:46.799
<v Speaker 1>even if they moved from seven to six, I mean

0:34:46.880 --> 0:34:49.000
<v Speaker 1>seven to six, he doesn't change anything. They're not getting

0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:50.960
<v Speaker 1>a home game. All it's gonna change is who they're

0:34:50.960 --> 0:34:53.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna face, right and unless that seven team loses, I

0:34:53.880 --> 0:34:56.759
<v Speaker 1>mean wins, then they're not gonna get home. They can

0:34:56.840 --> 0:35:00.480
<v Speaker 1>have the Rams because I'm telling you, like, I like

0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:03.360
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys chances of beating any other team in the

0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:08.239
<v Speaker 1>NFC more than the Rams. And seriously, I don't like

0:35:08.360 --> 0:35:10.600
<v Speaker 1>you think the Rams are the toughest matchup for the Cap.

0:35:10.719 --> 0:35:14.239
<v Speaker 1>Without a doubt. I believe that more Southern Green Bay. Yeah,

0:35:14.760 --> 0:35:17.759
<v Speaker 1>I hate to say that, I do, and I mean,

0:35:18.239 --> 0:35:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I just don't think they would beat the Rams. The Rams,

0:35:21.239 --> 0:35:24.480
<v Speaker 1>to me have Italy, and I know they have issues.

0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they lose, but I take my chance of

0:35:27.000 --> 0:35:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Stafford's dying to give the ball away. I know he's

0:35:29.640 --> 0:35:34.000
<v Speaker 1>dying to throw picks Cooper Cup. I mean, I know,

0:35:34.440 --> 0:35:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I just think. I mean, they have three of the

0:35:36.760 --> 0:35:39.400
<v Speaker 1>very best players at their position in the NFL, and

0:35:39.560 --> 0:35:42.319
<v Speaker 1>I think that is I mean, and maybe even four.

0:35:42.480 --> 0:35:44.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, when von Miller is playing and really on

0:35:44.880 --> 0:35:48.799
<v Speaker 1>his game, he definitely up there up got he got

0:35:48.920 --> 0:35:52.239
<v Speaker 1>the corner of Ramsey, I mean, you got Cooper Cup

0:35:52.440 --> 0:35:55.160
<v Speaker 1>is just a nightmare to to stop. And there the

0:35:55.280 --> 0:35:57.120
<v Speaker 1>way that makes faith. I mean, they end up getting

0:35:57.120 --> 0:35:59.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot out of Beckham right now too. He's he'sn't

0:35:59.080 --> 0:36:01.759
<v Speaker 1>at von Miller cap Gary of when he's at his best,

0:36:01.840 --> 0:36:03.120
<v Speaker 1>he could be right up there with the best. He

0:36:03.200 --> 0:36:05.000
<v Speaker 1>seems to do it when the Cowboys are on the

0:36:05.040 --> 0:36:07.800
<v Speaker 1>other side. So to go back to your question, I

0:36:07.880 --> 0:36:09.840
<v Speaker 1>think you also have to remember the Eagles are just

0:36:09.920 --> 0:36:12.759
<v Speaker 1>happy to be here, like they're I'm not that's not

0:36:12.880 --> 0:36:15.200
<v Speaker 1>to throw shade, I'm dead serious. They should be thrilled.

0:36:15.520 --> 0:36:18.080
<v Speaker 1>They're in the first year of a new regime. They're

0:36:18.200 --> 0:36:21.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of in a rebuild, you know, they're all year long,

0:36:21.640 --> 0:36:23.640
<v Speaker 1>like they're focused on what they're gonna get out of

0:36:23.680 --> 0:36:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the Carson Wentz trade and the Dolphins trade. Like, Okay,

0:36:26.040 --> 0:36:28.399
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have all these picks next year. They got

0:36:28.680 --> 0:36:30.839
<v Speaker 1>they can rebuild that thing. Who do they have who

0:36:30.880 --> 0:36:33.480
<v Speaker 1>do they have cap space committed to right now? Yeah?

0:36:33.480 --> 0:36:38.120
<v Speaker 1>They got money? Right? Good about where we're going. If

0:36:38.120 --> 0:36:40.399
<v Speaker 1>you're an Eagles fan, you're like, man, were we made

0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs with this? This is great? And meanwhile, the Cowboys,

0:36:43.760 --> 0:36:47.239
<v Speaker 1>you got big money everywhere you started six and one, Like,

0:36:48.360 --> 0:36:50.399
<v Speaker 1>if they don't get to the conference championship game, it'll

0:36:50.400 --> 0:36:52.960
<v Speaker 1>be a disappointing season. Philly's not thinking like that. So,

0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:55.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean the Cowboys have way more to gain and

0:36:55.280 --> 0:36:59.839
<v Speaker 1>way more to lose. Three picks, Yeah, first rounders, Yeah,

0:37:00.000 --> 0:37:02.160
<v Speaker 1>because I mean wins only Wentz had to play seventy

0:37:02.200 --> 0:37:04.680
<v Speaker 1>five percent of the snaps. As long as he plays

0:37:04.760 --> 0:37:07.319
<v Speaker 1>this game on Sunday, he'll hit that it's not about

0:37:07.360 --> 0:37:09.799
<v Speaker 1>them making the playoffs, it's about his snaps. Yeah. Oh

0:37:09.840 --> 0:37:11.880
<v Speaker 1>well then yeah, but they won't be It won't be

0:37:11.960 --> 0:37:13.759
<v Speaker 1>a great pick because the Colts will probably be in

0:37:13.800 --> 0:37:16.600
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. But like, so they'll pick Philly will own.

0:37:16.719 --> 0:37:19.640
<v Speaker 1>There's Indies and Miami's first round picks. So they're gon,

0:37:19.760 --> 0:37:22.839
<v Speaker 1>Miami is gonna be love What about did Yeah? Something

0:37:22.880 --> 0:37:24.560
<v Speaker 1>like that. So you got three picks that'll be like

0:37:24.680 --> 0:37:28.120
<v Speaker 1>in that fifteen to twenty something range and which you

0:37:28.200 --> 0:37:30.319
<v Speaker 1>can not beat. Yeah, you can use that to move

0:37:30.360 --> 0:37:32.960
<v Speaker 1>if you want. When you could move. He Hurts has

0:37:33.000 --> 0:37:35.279
<v Speaker 1>played well enough that maybe you don't have to worry

0:37:35.320 --> 0:37:37.320
<v Speaker 1>about now. I'm not saying a great quarterback draft. I

0:37:37.360 --> 0:37:39.640
<v Speaker 1>don't think people I've been reading. I'm not saying he's

0:37:39.680 --> 0:37:41.719
<v Speaker 1>your quarterback of the future. But he's been good enough

0:37:41.760 --> 0:37:44.680
<v Speaker 1>that you're like, well, let's address the line, let's do this. Yeah,

0:37:44.880 --> 0:37:46.560
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot about that that makes me a little

0:37:46.600 --> 0:37:49.439
<v Speaker 1>worried about what Philly can become over the next few years.

0:37:49.480 --> 0:37:51.600
<v Speaker 1>No doubt about that. All Right, we're gonna we appreciate

0:37:51.600 --> 0:37:53.120
<v Speaker 1>you guys, you wantas We'll be back tomorrow. We'll talk

0:37:53.120 --> 0:37:56.760
<v Speaker 1>about Cowboys offense versus this Philadelphia defensiltant for Nick Eatman,
