When 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.360 I walked in, he was on the floor and we 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:41.760 had to kind of. He didn't want to help getting up. 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:46.240 But you're training and you're doing well. I am. I 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:53.040 am in fat rupsy right now. Guys, So you can 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.800 we coin that term? Can we make T shirts? No, 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.600 don't you make a team? I'm not. Don't you do that? 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.640 I mean, damn T shirts we got. We got a bunch. 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:03.240 You got rat boy vibes, brat boy vibes. Say it 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:07.120 with your chest, yeah, smelly stick smelly stickers. Yeah, we 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.800 got a lot of different T shirt sayings here. But 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.520 I'll look who designed this show up. We were trying 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.040 to make it subtle. No, don't make it stuff. So 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.080 we were trying to make it subtle by starting on 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.960 the camera with me only. But I mean it took 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.520 him a minute. Hey, we're all here for you. You 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:28.040 said we were coming in hot today today late. Yeah, 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:30.280 I'll get it here. You went to speed limit though, right, 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:38.720 um and autobun limit all right, North Texas given day. 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.840 Do you guys know that? No? Oh, Wow, no, no, 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:42.679 so I got side. I'm trying to post for some 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.080 of the foundations that I'm with, so very nice. Well, 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:46.680 we'll talk about that a little bit later on. I 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.880 like that. Let's get into Cowboys news since everybody's here now. 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.000 There was some news that broke yesterday. Wednesday just has 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.760 been an unfortunate day over the last two weeks for 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:59.760 the Cowboys. Kean O'Neil out this week because of COVID 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.240 or based on the COVID reserve list. What is the 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:06.080 what is the update there, Well, he hadn't been ruled 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.680 out yet, that's good. But if we go off of 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:12.400 every player that's had this happened to them days before 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.760 a game, then they're preparing for him not to play. 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.080 It happened to Randy Gregory, it happened to Zach Martin, 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:21.560 happened to Brandon Night. Noah Brown was cleared in time 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:25.720 but didn't play. So the reports are he's a close contact, 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:29.600 which means five days of isolation, and you're gonna test 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:31.600 every day so that there's a chance he could be 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.400 cleared right in time. But I don't think the Cowboys 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.840 are preparing. Is this more of a contact tracing kind 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.640 of deal like he sounds like, okay, yeah, so we'll see. 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.120 But I think you know, it's interesting. It's gonna be 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:47.000 kind of a musical chairs thay because if he doesn't 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.600 play and Dorn's Armstrong doesn't play and you don't have 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:56.000 DeMarcus Lawrence obviously very interesting where Michael Parsons is gonna 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.040 line up and maybe maybe it's a little bit of everywhere. 0:03:58.080 --> 0:03:59.640 We kind of touched on that early in the week. 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:03.360 I don't see it being pigeonholed in the one spot, 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:07.000 especially if Keona Hill is not available, because I mean, 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.120 we we've had the conversation of, oh, now that Randy 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.240 Gregory's back, do we even need him at edge Rusher? 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:16.080 I guess the consensus was half and half yes, no, 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:20.520 maybe sometimes, but yeah, if there's no Neil back there, 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.720 then do we see a lot more of eleven at 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:26.200 the linebacker spot? Hope not? Hope. No, There's a dude 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:27.960 we drafted by the name of Jabril Cox. I don't 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:29.800 know if you guys know him, but he's on a 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.960 roster and he's pretty athletic as well. Yeah, with the 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.640 lsu Kin kind of a dude. Whereas number fourteen, Yeah, 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:37.960 kind of a dude, So I think that he can 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.280 fill in in that role as well. We talked about 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.479 our depth at a lot of positions this year. We 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:46.120 have the fortune of having that, so let's utilize it. 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:47.840 Let's get these guys out there. Let him go out 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:49.720 there and make place. That's what he does now. I 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.320 love the optimism, Um, and I've been trying to get 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.120 a look at these younger guys anyway, and so if 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:55.880 this is the opportunity that he gets, I'm sure to 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.760 just being spot duty on a tight end, which is 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.839 supposedly his strength coming out of the draft, his ability 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.360 to cover tight end. So he'll get that this week. 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:08.280 We don't know the health of their tight ends why. 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.440 I think Zach Earnst is out for the game, but 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.520 I trust that with Dallas Goddard and Jack Stole that 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:21.280 we could use Jabril cox in spot duty. I'm with that. Yeah, 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.720 that's him. Some more playing time I think would be nice. 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.080 He hasn't seen a ton of playing time. Most of 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.520 his stuff has come on special teams. But maybe there 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:31.599 will be a little bit more Jabril Cox. Um. In 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:36.200 terms of Wednesday, whether any other news storylines, Rod, I 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.839 think that's it. Randy Gregory's back. That's a good one. 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:42.960 So back to practice today, so we should see him. Yeah, 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.600 it's weird it's Thursday, but it's Wednesday. Yeah, it's Garrett 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:48.200 thing back in the day. It's been kind of slow 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.320 because of no practice the last two days and there 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.680 hasn't been anybody in there. I was asked last night 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.600 by one of the guys that the fan asking if 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:59.880 Calvin Joseph has been practicing, But is he available to 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.479 practice yet or does he have to wait until that 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.919 three weeks is up until he actually gets on the 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.360 field period. That's a good question. When he returns from 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.239 his hip injury. I think he's got to be on IR. 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.680 I think so too, Yeah, and then he can they 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.440 can start the clit like when it's Wow. That's a 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.240 good question because these IR rules have changed and it 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:22.400 used to be within like pup you can start practicing 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:23.920 and you have a window and all that stuff. I 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:25.760 don't know if that's the case for him though, yeah, 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.680 because he was okay, Yeah, we'll try and figure that 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.560 out later on as well. But anything sticking out to 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.880 you guys now that we've kind of previewed the Philly 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.640 offense and the Cowboys defense. Now, well, let's flip the 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.320 table a little bit. Looking at the film going into 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.799 Monday's matchup. We're trying to break down this Cowboys offense 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:48.240 into the Philadelphia defense. And I'll start this off with you, heckma, 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.720 early on in the season, what is the best thing 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.760 that the Cowboys offense has done so far to you 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:59.039 air it out? Throwing to football? They've been airing people out. 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.920 I mean, yes, the game last week versus the Chargers, 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:06.039 I think getting Tony Pollard involved, I think shown that 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.599 showed the kind of asset that he can be to 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:13.120 this offense. And Michael Gallup's absence basically, and so you 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:14.880 know when you when you look at both of these teams, 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.360 it really will this game will be decided by the 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:21.680 front lines offense and defensive lines. And Fletcher Cox is 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.640 still Fletcher Cox, number ninety one. He just sticks out 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:26.560 like a store thumb with everything that he does. But 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.800 he has a guy by the name Javon Hargraves that 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.160 will cancel Christmas if we don't get him. If we 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.200 don't get him blocked, no Christmas trees this year. And 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.000 the heck no, no, we don't get a Christmas Tree 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:38.440 and I got one picked out already. They already got 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.120 to nick that out for you this year. But I mean, 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.880 it's gonna be one up front, and so I think 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.840 it's gonna be interesting to see how the Dallas Cowboys 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.280 line this up. It's not the same threat as it 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.040 was with Bosa on the outside, even though they do 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:54.800 have some some some edge rushers. But for me, I 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.960 just want to see Terence Steele not go to sleep 0:07:58.000 --> 0:07:59.480 at the wheel. I know that, Ryan Bars, but I 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:03.440 wouldn't just stay on top of what you do. I know. 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:05.440 I think it's a heightened sense of awareness when you 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.160 have a Bosa on the other side of you. So 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.360 just don't relax, you know. And it really does feel 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:12.280 good going into a game like this knowing that you 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.600 do have Zach Martin. No having him back was a 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:19.120 world of a difference in week two. But I want 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.120 to ask kind of off of that point, Rob if 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:25.520 your confidence level. I know it's risen from Terren Steele 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:29.120 last week to Terren Steele in week three, but how 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.760 much has it risen going up against another team, Like 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:33.760 you said, even though there is no Joey Bosa on 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:37.400 the other side, it's Risen, but he talked about it 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:41.120 yesterday himself, Terren Steele that this front line for Philly, 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.080 there they're monsters and they I feel like we've been 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.960 saying that about them for twenty years, Like that's their 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.480 defense starts up front, and it always seems to and 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:55.120 they lose what Brandon Graham for the season. I'm looking 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.640 at the Eagles official depth charter on their website right now, 0:08:57.640 --> 0:08:59.640 and there's just a blank spot at left defensive end. 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.959 They don't they haven't officially filled that. I imagine Josh 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:06.680 Sweat Barnett, they're gonna, you know, one guy is gonna 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.079 play that side, but they're just gonna plug one guy 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:10.840 in and go. I mean, I think they're still really 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:14.200 good upfront. Um, and you know, you watch the forty 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:17.000 nine Ers game and you you know, you watch what 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:21.000 uh Barnett and those guys can do off the snap. 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.839 It's pretty impressive. So it's not just Steel, I think 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.120 it's everybody. Uh, they got to be able to block 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:29.679 for Dak Prescott. These guys propose a different challenge than 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.000 what we faced last week or even a week before. Um, 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.200 you know, I feel like week one versus Tampa, they're 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.000 big boys. I mean we have something. They had some 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:38.840 big boys on the end that can get to the quarterback. 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:42.000 Week two agains the Chargers, we were worried about one guy, 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:45.000 primarily Um. Now you know they don't have a Jabrail Cox, 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.480 but they do have a big boy Cox c c 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.760 o X right, you know, and he's been in the 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.679 league for a while. He's dominated if you allow him 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.960 to be Um. But they you know, obviously we talked 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.680 about Graham being gone, but they just gave Sweat a 0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.679 bunch of money. Yes, they just gave Sweat a bunch 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.240 of money. So he steps up, he will be in 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.199 that role. And then there's a guy behind him too 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.160 who's always been a Cowboys record by the name of Carrigan, 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.480 Ryan Carrigan. Yeah, he's not even starting for him, but 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.560 he's there. He's there. He's always start for Washington. Last 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.480 year when he was him the first time and he 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.880 had two sacks, I believe, So he's they So until 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.840 you're to that point, these boys are they proposed they 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:24.280 present a different problem for us up front. Um speed 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.200 is one thing when you're worried about Bosa, but these guys, 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:30.120 you know, to steal his point, have a motor. They're 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.400 they're they're dogs, they're savvy veterans, these are vents. Now, 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:35.920 these guys know what the heck they're doing, and they're ginormous. 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.440 They're ginormous, right, and they got that old man Uncle Strim. 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.240 So you gotta be you know, you know what I'm 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.440 talking about, that Kung Foo pan, the grip that'scatouch. Okay, 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.920 so you gotta Yeah, so you have to be able 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:49.240 to to hold the fort, drop your hips and get 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.880 underneath these guys, otherwise they will walk you back to 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.319 the quarterback. And we don't need that on Dack's legs. 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.480 Had you when you look at them, did they have 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.400 a twinge of that Tampa defense up? I'm just talking 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.480 about up front with the bay from the inside, the 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.160 one and the three tech, the way they play, they 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.559 favored Tampa more than they favored the Soldiers. Y. Yeah, 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:08.760 I mean so, I think if you're gonna make a 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.280 comparison obviously to what we've faced this year, it's more 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:16.480 Tampa than it is um Los Angeles. And that's not good. No, no, no. 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.160 By the way, I know, it's only week three, so 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.360 this is super early to start throwing out ranks. But 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.880 at least we have multiple sample sizes to do this on. 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:28.160 This has been against two struggling offenses, with San Francisco 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.959 and Atlanta being the opposing teams to Philadelphia. But right now, 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.680 the Eagles defense finished or currently sits top five in 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:40.599 total yards allowed, scoring aloud, passing yards allowed, third down percentage, 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.880 and yards per play allowed. So I mean they've gotten 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:45.400 off to a quick start and a lot of that 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:49.680 is the front seven overall. But if so, you're saying 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:53.400 not as good as Tampa Bay, but similar in style 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.920 is ultimately what you're you're laying out here. Yes, they're 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.200 I think they're like I said, it's just hard, you're savvy. Yeah, 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.720 I think they're just sad events, you know, and these guys. 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.000 You're not gonna fool these guys. You're not gonna trick them. 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.960 You're not gonna, you know, out leverage them. They know 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.280 all the tricks of the trade. So you know, it 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.720 really comes down to you're gonna have to go when 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:13.240 you got to hit these guys, You're gonna have to 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.320 move them off the ball. You're not You're not gonna 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.880 be able to bamboozle your way into getting good plays. 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.240 You're gonna have to man handle these guys and you 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.120 bringing your sack lunch, you know them draws. You have 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.080 to come back out because it's gonna be a work 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.680 day when you're playing against Fletcher and you're playing against 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.000 you know, Josh Sweat who has a pocket full of 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.559 money now and in and in Hardgrave and then oh, 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.480 by the way, Kerrigan who just doesn't stop right. So 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:37.280 you got you have your work. You know, your work 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:38.959 cut out for you as we try to establish this 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.640 running game continuously. The one thing they haven't done is 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.360 forced the turnover yet in two games. That's the one 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.120 thing you look at their their their resume and say 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:48.920 they haven't done that, although they dropped at least one 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.680 pick against San Francisco. So yeah, they're good all the 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.120 way through. And they are similar to Tampa and that 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.600 that's their strength. I mean, you try to run against 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:58.640 this front and it's gonna be tough, you know, and 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:00.760 pass pass protection is gonna be tough too, because they'll 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.760 put five guys on the line of scrimmage and d yeah, 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:05.719 or just kind of trying to make you figure out 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.360 who's coming and who's dropping and whether they're not like 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.200 Tampa is they don't blitz a lot. I didn't see that. 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:12.760 They don't bring a lot of guys on the blitz, 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:14.640 and they may benefit us as well. I think we 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:16.959 have an advantage on them and the edge. I think 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.240 we can get the edge. And I think Tony polit 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.439 if we continue the trend that using him that way, 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.000 he can get the edge. And I think this is 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:24.720 a game for Zeke to get on track, and so 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:28.360 we could stop all this talk. And you know, it's 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.559 got fifteen more games ago and I think a fresh 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.520 twenty one later in the season, it's going to benefit us. 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.640 But offensive line watch just going back to talking about 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.800 Zach Martin and what he's done with still just kind 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:41.480 of anchoring these guys that hold right side of the 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.600 offensive lying down. Be honest, I think people are starting 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.640 to understand that he needs a lot more strength. You know, 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.280 he's we've seen him lose those battles in the bull 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:54.000 rush situation. But I want to this guy. People are 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.640 not talking about what he's doing. And I talked to 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:58.560 you when we talked last year, I said, I said 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:00.599 that he's like that last call the lady at the 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.400 end of the wile, the last call but Connor Williams 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.400 is having a damn good season, and I mean he 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:10.560 start to a season last year. You did not listen. 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:15.400 Now listen, this is me coming around and saying you 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:20.080 were right. There's a surroundabout way to say. I mean, 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:24.720 he's absolutely means somewhere around him. But I mean Connor 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.960 Williams is doing a good job and having Smith back 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.400 also kind of anchors this offensive line. So I love him. 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.320 I agree, But you know, to that point, you know 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.160 two weeks you know, our first game was only two 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.160 weeks ago, and the film you talk about, try to 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.320 be honest, the film that was out on the second 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:43.560 half where he was getting kind of driven back bulldorg um, 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.800 that's out there, and you can best you best believe 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.800 that these guys watch that. And as good as Vita 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.920 Vea is, these guys up front, no more than he knows. 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.560 Vita Vea was just locking on and just running you back. 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.080 So imagine the guys with the same ability, but now 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.280 have all the tricks that you know in their bag. Well, 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.240 so we have to be on our on our toes. 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.640 I mean, obviously I'm not just gassing these guys up there. 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.360 They're good, they're good and for the type of defense 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:09.480 that they're going to run, we are going to have 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.120 to establish a run. We're gonna have to sustain drives 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.440 because to your point, they don't blitz. Why because they're 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:16.280 not confident in their secondary, So why would they put 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.040 their secondary, you know, at risk. So they're gonna sit back, 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.280 they're gonna be they're gonna they're gonna play a single 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:23.720 high safety. They want to do that, but they're gonna 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.320 have They're gonna have eight guys in a box. So 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.560 we still have to establish a run. But we have 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.320 to win our battles on the outside as well. And 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.280 you know, obviously it depends on if Coop Dogg is 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.840 back and obviously Gallup's gone, so we got some struggles 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:36.160 there too. Yeah, and you're gonna have to find a 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:37.920 way to get to the edge regardless. But when we 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.320 come back, I want to keep that Tyler Beiottish conversation 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.040 going him and Connor Williams both because that interior the 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.240 offensive line has been kind of a point that's been 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.320 glossed over by a lot of the Cowboys, or at 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.760 least media and us in general. Kind of I feel 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:55.440 like that might be the trouble spot on offense right now? 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:57.240 But is it that big of a trouble spot. We'll 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.400 talk about it when we return with more talking cowboys, 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:03.960 presented by Tostitos. Honey, big News, Gary? Are you okay?

I was waiting 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:34.919 on the mic swing, and I was waiting on the 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:36.640 long finger. When you hit them with the long finger, 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:40.879 that's who can't give it to them every day? We 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:42.960 got five days a week. Okay, you're right, you know 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:44.920 the mic swing is even better when you get five 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:49.119 days a week times seventeen weeks, solo shows, s s shows. 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:54.200 You can't spoil them. Finger. I like that Arsenio Hall 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:59.280 the lowe finger. By the way, while we were in 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:03.240 the break, Chris gave us an update on the IR situation. 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.160 I asked the question and put Rob on the spot 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:08.800 earlier about kel or excuse me, Kelvin Joseph and his return. 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:11.080 What is the what is the thing with I are they? 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.199 It's just like pup because Pupp's always been six weeks 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:18.440 start a window to practice same thing. Three weeks on IR, 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:21.680 then he can start practicing and start that clock. So 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.560 one more week to go for for Kelvin Joseph. So 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:27.720 though most likely not have him back week four, even 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:31.280 as I mean best case scenario, I mean, I think 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:33.480 they'll have him on the field probably, but they would 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.440 ramp him up. I would think as a rookie that's 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:38.240 missed that significant amount of time, that's a good question. 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.440 I mean, if he was able to practice next week 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.679 and had a full week, you know, I don't know 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:44.160 if he would play in the game, but he might 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.200 be ready to be active and dressed for the game. 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:48.240 Are they to work with trainers in all that during 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:50.520 that period desire? Yeah, I mean they're they're doing really 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:53.719 so they he's not out of out of shape, and 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:56.760 he's working with Britt Brown, so he'll be in shape. 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.960 Prints on him. Trust Me, somebody who's been with Brit 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:02.119 you're in shape. You much rather be on a practice 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:04.400 field than to spend your time with him every day. 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:07.160 He's an awesome person, but he's a he's a whole dog, 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:11.880
