Speaker 2: the pasties? J J. McCarthy thinks, not.
Speaker 4: Otherwise known as stickers. Yeah, hold on, guys, I want
Speaker 4: to hear this. Okay, what the heck is nine mode?
Speaker 7: That's okay, that's JJ McCarthy's persona.
Speaker 4: Oh is that like when he's like real dramatic at
Speaker 4: the beginning of the game and he's like meditating at
Speaker 4: the goalpost and he's got his eyes closed in his headphones.
Speaker 7: And then also in the post game when he's like
Speaker 7: amped up and he's like doing the whole thing.
Speaker 6: With the Yeah what he's amped up? Yeah, he's doing
Speaker 6: that thing.
Speaker 2: I'm seeing that I have one more time, one more time.
Speaker 6: That's what he does.
Speaker 2: Oh JJ, you guys are on Twitter's a rookie. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're right, I'm not that coming to plaster.
Speaker 6: You're on to I know he's seen it.
Speaker 2: I still haven't seen. Oh I saw was quigmyre gigdy.
Speaker 7: That's what he's doing, dude, I swear if you think
Speaker 7: I'm joking.
Speaker 2: It's so cringey. I am. I'm gonna look it up.
Speaker 4: I think one, I've got to see what you're talking
Speaker 4: about on the post game stuff. But man, he's he's
Speaker 4: not had a good enough year to have a persona.
Speaker 6: Everybody he calls it nine.
Speaker 2: That's terrible, like like eleven, like stranger things or what
Speaker 2: are we talking about?
Speaker 8: I don't compare him to the greatness of eleven. Oh
Speaker 8: I know whether you say eight or one. Can't tell
Speaker 8: him a stranger thing?
Speaker 2: Can Josh?
Speaker 9: Three?
Speaker 2: Two? One? It's nine? O four? We can talk for
Speaker 2: about now. Stop it. This is this is the nine
Speaker 2: persona that we're looking at.
Speaker 6: This is nine.
Speaker 2: Okay. Oh, it's just like high video interest on top
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 6: Oh no, just the very beginning.
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, he looks like an actor. I can't remember
Speaker 5: who the actor is.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that there was a name attached to
Speaker 2: that nine.
Speaker 7: Be careful, guys, we're previewing nine.
Speaker 2: We are going to preview the vikings. It doesn't in
Speaker 2: the capital n none.
Speaker 8: Right, Yeah, that's he's producing.
Speaker 2: Speak to my dog? Was that I speak to my
Speaker 2: nothing in German? Do you what do you say in
Speaker 2: German to your dogs? That's it? You have German shepherds. No,
Speaker 2: are you talking to non German German?
Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't understand this is such thing as a
Speaker 4: German right, Yeah, this is a genuine question.
Speaker 2: Yeah I did not know that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, just rotil that happened to be from Germany. It's
Speaker 8: like a whole thing like Germany and roth Wilders, Like.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're saying meekly. Doesn't change the fact that
Speaker 2: I was unaware. I thought it was Doberman's. Interesting Okay,
Speaker 2: only just tough.
Speaker 5: Dogs, big dogs.
Speaker 2: And forty solid the only rolls I know from the hood. Yeah,
Speaker 2: from Germany.
Speaker 5: You don't want to mess with them, you don't. Those
Speaker 5: are the ones that have Those are a lot cheaper.
Speaker 5: I can say that they're not imported, but.
Speaker 8: Those are the ones they have. You jumping on top
Speaker 8: of cars. Have you ever written like ran away from
Speaker 8: a dog?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, absolutely, multiple times. You become an instant. One
Speaker 2: of them was a pit bull. I remember that.
Speaker 4: That was the like the the scarring one was back
Speaker 4: whenever I was I was probably eight or nine.
Speaker 2: Got away though, Yeah I did get away. I got
Speaker 2: jumped the chain link fence and got away from it.
Speaker 2: And even then I was like, not did you use hands?
Speaker 5: Barely to the ovals that you see from like the
Speaker 5: road runner. Yeah, running, I feel like beamers ran from
Speaker 5: a colored dogs before made me see Beamer.
Speaker 7: Getting I see a dog and I the dogs run
Speaker 7: from Beamer.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into news and notes, Pat.
Speaker 8: Yes, absolutely, so we have the first injury report of
Speaker 8: the week cow boys delivered to us after they had
Speaker 8: their first practice.
Speaker 2: Was their good news or bad news? Not bad news? Pause?
Speaker 8: Not unexpected. I had to think for a second because
Speaker 8: Tyler got in. He's trending in the right direction, but
Speaker 8: he didn't practice yesterday. That doesn't seem And don't say
Speaker 8: the two numbers while I'm doing this, please, but I
Speaker 8: shouldn't speak louder than word. Yeah, basically, so he was
Speaker 8: off to the side with Britt Brown doing rehab work yesterday.
Speaker 2: Please don't say the numbers.
Speaker 10: We didn't say zero six zero, Okay, work under these,
Speaker 10: but no, he was off to the side doing rehab
Speaker 10: work with Britt Brown and Jack Sam Boyne.
Speaker 8: So we'll see if Tyler guy you can get in
Speaker 8: practice today. If he doesn't practice today, then I'm concerned about,
Speaker 8: you know, his availability against the Vikings. But going into
Speaker 8: yesterday's practice, Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones, Brian Schttenheimer. They all
Speaker 8: sounded optimistic about his chances, so put a pin in
Speaker 8: that one. That's why I paused, because I don't know
Speaker 8: if they're just giving him another day or if there's
Speaker 8: actually something here that could, you know, turn his needle
Speaker 8: in the wrong direction.
Speaker 2: Don't know. We'll see.
Speaker 5: How often do you think Britt Brown has to change
Speaker 5: out those bands? Uh, it's every couple of years probably,
Speaker 5: it's a question. I don't think it needs to be
Speaker 5: like a yearly thing.
Speaker 2: And it's definitely more frequent than that thing. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean those are high quality.
Speaker 5: They are high EQUI that ask that question next time.
Speaker 5: Just ask Brown if yeah, how frequently change the band?
Speaker 2: I'll see. I'll see what we can figure out on
Speaker 2: that one.
Speaker 4: I feel like that's like two years is probably what
Speaker 4: I would think.
Speaker 2: What if he's never changed them? Maybe maybe so it's
Speaker 2: quality equipment.
Speaker 6: Switch out the band they don't pay.
Speaker 4: They don't pay the truth or the for the cheap
Speaker 4: ones they don't pay for, just like the ones you
Speaker 4: get at Walmart.
Speaker 5: I feel like those are the same exact bands for
Speaker 5: the last thirty years.
Speaker 6: Maybe the band are different here, cheap out.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 8: So the only other player who did not participate in
Speaker 8: practice was Malie Hooker, but that was not injury related.
Speaker 8: That was due to a personal reason. I'll check to
Speaker 8: see if he's expected to be back today. But again,
Speaker 8: good news is is not an injury issue. Hopefully everything's
Speaker 8: find on the personal front. He can get back to
Speaker 8: practice this week. Other than those two guys, everyone else
Speaker 8: practiced and some capacity.
Speaker 2: Here's the good news today. Jon Clowney was.
Speaker 6: Back at Yes, yes, scot golf clop. I like those words.
Speaker 8: Yes, Yes, this is going to give you a little
Speaker 8: bit more more of a golf clap, if not a
Speaker 8: little bit more.
Speaker 2: CD Lamb was back at practicing. Yes, dred Heads are back.
Speaker 2: I like this report. Dread Heads are back, Ceedee Lamb.
Speaker 8: He is still in concussion protocol at the moment, however,
Speaker 8: he is passing the bench marks. Brian Schottenhammer said that
Speaker 8: he only had quote unquote one or two more benchmarks
Speaker 8: to pass in order to clear concussion protocol. I can
Speaker 8: tell you the eye test yesterday looked good on Cedee Lamb.
Speaker 2: That I look good on Ceedee Lamb.
Speaker 8: Yesterday he was participating in uh the individual drills, portion
Speaker 8: of practice during media availability, he was running at full speed,
Speaker 8: he was in good spirits, he was kind of bopping
Speaker 8: to the music. He was high five and coaches and players.
Speaker 8: So it looks like Ceedee Lamb is exactly where he
Speaker 8: needs to be. So as long as he can clear
Speaker 8: this final benchmark or two, I expect that he will
Speaker 8: take the field against the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 2: So that is absolutely huge, you feel.
Speaker 7: So that's your reporting that he will be on the field.
Speaker 2: Is that what you just.
Speaker 8: Said, reporting that if he clears the final or two benchmarks,
Speaker 8: then he will be on the field. And I'm also
Speaker 8: reporting that he looked good yesterday and moving around and
Speaker 8: his good spirits and going full speed through his routes.
Speaker 5: If you had a dodgeball game tonight, would you feel
Speaker 5: comfortable picking up Cede Lamb and playing tonight?
Speaker 8: No dodgeball because somebody might throw a wrench at him.
Speaker 8: If you can dodge, if you caught the reference reference.
Speaker 8: But those are the good that's the good news to
Speaker 8: even Clowney. Back of practice, it was a limited capacity,
Speaker 8: but back in practice, nonetheless, he's trending in the right direction.
Speaker 8: Ceedee Lamb still a concussion protocol, but full speed and
Speaker 8: individual drills. He is trending toward playing as well, he
Speaker 8: just needs to clear a protocol in order to do so.
Speaker 8: Savone revel he was limited in practice yesterday, something not
Speaker 8: keep an eye on. Spoke with Savone yesterday in the
Speaker 8: locker room after practice and he said he's just dealing
Speaker 8: with some soreness. He told me that I didn't catch
Speaker 8: this in film. He said that he banged his knee
Speaker 8: on the on the turf in Detroit, making one of
Speaker 8: those tackles. So yeah, so he said he's just dealing
Speaker 8: with a little bit of sowordness there, which is why
Speaker 8: he was limited yesterday. So not to say that he
Speaker 8: won't play, but keep an eye on that because it
Speaker 8: feels like if he does, maybe that answers the question
Speaker 8: yesterday as far as like they kind of scale back on.
Speaker 2: The uh the rep count on him.
Speaker 8: So we'll see, but just draw a circle around that,
Speaker 8: and that's that's something to watch now. From a Minnesota
Speaker 8: Vikings injury report, two notables did not practice yesterday for
Speaker 8: the Minnesota Vikings, one being offensive tackle Christian Dearisol dealing
Speaker 8: with a knee issue. Something to keep an eye on.
Speaker 2: And T. J.
Speaker 8: Hawkinson kind of a kind of a big deal. He's
Speaker 8: dealing with a shin injury. He did not participation yesterday either,
Speaker 8: So from Minnesota shin, shin, shin injury.
Speaker 2: Usually they would just put like a lag or a
Speaker 2: lower body or something like.
Speaker 8: That, shin being on a quite It is quite specific
Speaker 8: now that you mention wouldn't suck.
Speaker 2: I never won them, never.
Speaker 6: Had try to drag one time, Bro immediately terrible.
Speaker 2: I'm good. Yeah, me and my sister have gone through
Speaker 2: those a couple of times.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm a Disney adult syndrome.
Speaker 8: By the way, I'll tell you id Disney.
Speaker 7: It's like people going to Disney for the first time
Speaker 7: that like are really into it. They're having trouble walking around.
Speaker 6: Maybe not go there.
Speaker 8: I'll tell you what as much trek as I ran
Speaker 8: in and yesterdayear Bro, actually I was actually blessed to
Speaker 8: have never suffered since plans I've had.
Speaker 2: I know that you you ran on good tracks.
Speaker 5: We ran on We ran on concrete with dirt thrown
Speaker 5: over the top, ran on everybody split.
Speaker 8: I would like anyone in the chat that happens to
Speaker 8: be from the West side of Savannah, Georgia.
Speaker 2: To chime in on Isaiah's allegation, you guys have never
Speaker 2: ran a little track.
Speaker 4: Okay, guys, now, now I believe I actually ran track.
Speaker 2: Now I think you're now. I think you're just making.
Speaker 5: Our track was so bad. If it rained, you would
Speaker 5: have We're running a steeple race.
Speaker 8: Bro, that's so much water much water was Seriously, but
Speaker 8: I don't know if it's just preparational, because really I
Speaker 8: don't know. I know shins plus is a uh is
Speaker 8: a it's an impact.
Speaker 2: I've been on your year old track. Oh no, no, no, no, beamers.
Speaker 2: That's the new version. Bro.
Speaker 5: Yeah, beamer has been there, but I was there, you
Speaker 5: were there, But that is new. That is freaking amazing.
Speaker 5: Before Bro, it was straight concrete jungles.
Speaker 8: Okay, so then, you know, just like back when right
Speaker 8: between practices, when you're at home, when you're in the black,
Speaker 8: you kid corner the corner, barefoot on the street and
Speaker 8: all of that. And I still was blessed to not
Speaker 8: have shin splins. Now, I will say I had plenty
Speaker 8: of other impact injuries, ankles, knees. That's why I have
Speaker 8: at least one bad knee right now. But shin splints
Speaker 8: never had them, never want them, but I heard the
Speaker 8: horror stories you can have that, you can have that.
Speaker 2: I love how we got to this off of talking about.
Speaker 11: The s Yeah, we're not saying back in Western Georgia,
Speaker 11: we're not saying he has. All we know is that
Speaker 11: his shin is on the injury report. His shin is
Speaker 11: on the injury report. So keep an eye on that
Speaker 11: because t J. Howkinson is dealing with something. So even
Speaker 11: if he can't go, he'll be less than one hundred percent.
Speaker 11: But right now on your left, Cowboys fans probably don't
Speaker 11: subscribe too much to that because didn't Jamior Gibb was
Speaker 11: just okay, yeah, so yeah yeah.
Speaker 6: Then Brown, oh yeah yeah, Marshall so yeah yeah.
Speaker 7: Melvin say they need to be invested. Hated the Lions too.
Speaker 7: Saint Brown wasn't injured at all?
Speaker 2: Or your linebackers. I mean it's usually it's play or
Speaker 2: you just let him cook. Is this the five o'clock fore?
Speaker 2: So yeah, there you go, news and oes injured report
Speaker 2: for that's good.
Speaker 4: Let's preview the Cowboys defense going up against the Minnesota
Speaker 4: offense and what they've done this day, are going into
Speaker 4: this week rather Uh, there's one quarterback in the NFL
Speaker 4: right now that is registered and above the threshold of
Speaker 4: being considered in the statistical categories, right that has more
Speaker 4: interceptions than he does touchdowns.
Speaker 2: Would you like to take a guess on who that is? Nine?
Speaker 2: And you know, you know how many passing touchdowns he's
Speaker 2: had this year? Nine? You know how many interceptions?
Speaker 6: More than nine?
Speaker 4: Ten he's had. He's had ten interceptions. What have you
Speaker 4: seen from j J McCarthy this season?
Speaker 7: Oh, my goodness, inconsistency. I mean, you saw a guy
Speaker 7: that's full of confidence early on in the season. Uh,
Speaker 7: but that kind of dropped off pretty quickly after that
Speaker 7: Monday Night opener. I guess for them, Uh, at least
Speaker 7: for me, JJ McCarthy is not what they wanted him
Speaker 7: to be. He has no chemistry at all with JJ.
Speaker 7: Over there, JJ and JJ are not having their chemistry.
Speaker 7: Like that big fact that Kyle put up yesterday on
Speaker 7: the dot com.
Speaker 2: Should I read that big fact please from yesterday?
Speaker 6: It is Isaiah on the dot com.
Speaker 2: It's pretty wild. It is on the Thank you Dan,
Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I said JJ to JJ just isn't working out
Speaker 4: of the quarterback to wide receiver duos this season with
Speaker 4: at least forty targets. The combo of JJ McCarthy and
Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson rank dead last in passer raids.
Speaker 7: What was the name of the last guy you just named?
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson?
Speaker 7: Ah, and really bad so far, right, Yeah, he hasn't.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's putting up career low numbers in every
Speaker 4: major category.
Speaker 7: But he's always had a consistent quarterback that has given
Speaker 7: him the numbers that he's had so far in his career.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, pretty much. It doesn't matter who up until now,
Speaker 2: huh night.
Speaker 4: I mean he had Sam Donald last year, which was
Speaker 4: kind of a crazy luck thing. Yeah, yeah, of course,
Speaker 4: and then before that it was it was Kirk Cousins. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you're right, probably not luck, but people didn't expect Sam Donald.
Speaker 2: Let me say, unexpected surprise, a surprise.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, mister Seattle, Chill out, dog. I know
Speaker 4: he got ten wins, chill out. But when it comes to.
Speaker 2: JJ to JJ forty five passer.
Speaker 4: Rating when he is being targeted this year out of
Speaker 4: ninety eight duos that have at least forty targets, dead last,
Speaker 4: the next closest one, next lowest, I guess I should say,
Speaker 4: is Geno Smith to Jacoby oh And speaking of Seattle,
Speaker 4: Gino Smith to Jacoby Myers with the Raiders and they
Speaker 4: had a fifty four point one.
Speaker 2: So it's like a.
Speaker 4: Con considerable gap in between how bad JJ McCarthy has
Speaker 4: been while throwing the football to Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 7: I mean that clearly indicates that Justin Jefferson has regressed
Speaker 7: in some way, right.
Speaker 2: He's washed, washed, possibly.
Speaker 8: I think that's what That's what the kids nowadays would say.
Speaker 8: It's scary're gonna say it.
Speaker 6: By the way, I'm jo.
Speaker 7: Justin Jefferson is that dude is a monster.
Speaker 2: But and I say at the quarterback.
Speaker 7: I say all of that in the same context of
Speaker 7: this is the Dallas Cowboys defense so far this season
Speaker 7: has been a get right game.
Speaker 6: For a lot of offenses.
Speaker 7: And I don't want that to start clicking. I don't
Speaker 7: want nine to start coming out out of nowhere gros.
Speaker 6: I don't want to see it.
Speaker 8: I don't see I'm concerned about Justin Jefferson. I'm not
Speaker 8: concerned about JJ McCarthy because when you look at number one,
Speaker 8: availability has been an issue for him, But now that
Speaker 8: he's available for them, like you said inconsistency, but he's
Speaker 8: actually consistently bad, you know what I mean. So even
Speaker 8: in the thirty one points that they hung on the
Speaker 8: Washington Commanders last week, yeah, JJ, McCarthy had three touchdowns,
Speaker 8: But go back and look at that stat line. As
Speaker 8: far as his passing yards, I don't think he broke
Speaker 8: two hundred passing yards.
Speaker 4: In that game, if I'm not mistaken. So I got
Speaker 4: it right here, you got it. Yeah, he had won
Speaker 4: sixty three.
Speaker 2: There you go. Didn't even sniff two hundred passing yards.
Speaker 2: So you see that way through it twenty three times.
Speaker 2: It's not like they're giving him the keys to the.
Speaker 8: Car, nor should they, because something I referenced yesterday on
Speaker 8: the back end of QB vision was that in the losses,
Speaker 8: the defense for the Vikings are still holding teams to
Speaker 8: less than twenty six points a game. Yep, you should
Speaker 8: be winning those games, most of those games anyway, But
Speaker 8: each one of those games are losses because McCarthy and
Speaker 8: or whoever whomever at the time was the quarterback. They've
Speaker 8: been averaging under thirteen points a game. Offensively, that is abysmal.
Speaker 8: That what now, listen, try that's exactly what that is.
Speaker 8: I can tell you who's not trash. You guys already
Speaker 8: mentioned one name, justin Jeff Jefferson. Do you guys know
Speaker 8: who else is not trash?
Speaker 2: I like Jordan Addison, No, I like him.
Speaker 5: I think he's really you know, all those guys are trash.
Speaker 5: But Kevin O'Connell's not trash. Yeah, I thought he was
Speaker 5: the QBU whisper though. I think he'll figure he's met
Speaker 5: his match. Can't whisper to that. I can't whisper to
Speaker 5: listen Kevin O'Connell when I turned on this film.
Speaker 4: His offense is nice, Dude, I've always been a listen.
Speaker 4: His offense is nice.
Speaker 5: I'm talking about all aspects from formations to running or
Speaker 5: to run game, to the scheme running scheme, the past
Speaker 5: concepts are are immaculate like this, dude.
Speaker 2: If you like, we saw last year.
Speaker 5: What happens when you give him a quarterback that's capable,
Speaker 5: and obviously you're seeing.
Speaker 2: The opposite this year. But he is a freaking dude.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 2: I know we don't typically talk about coaches.
Speaker 5: We typical talk about the glad you're going to see
Speaker 5: on the field, the man who's calling the plays.
Speaker 2: I think this is a well coached team. He's a
Speaker 2: freaking dude. Yeah, the coaching is nothing.
Speaker 4: Flores on the defensive side, doesn't Yeah, and O'Connell on
Speaker 4: the one on thett O'Connell.
Speaker 2: It's not justin Jefferson. It's not t. J.
Speaker 5: Hockinson, it's not Aaron Jones, it's not Jordan Addison, it's
Speaker 5: not Madison.
Speaker 2: Process of elimination. Right. I just named nine.
Speaker 6: Guys about the nine.
Speaker 2: But so we say all that.
Speaker 5: At least I say all that to say, if for
Speaker 5: whatever reason, the light bulb comes on for him, it
Speaker 5: can get ugly because he has the weapons, then he
Speaker 5: has a heck of a coach that's calling a great
Speaker 5: game plan. So yes, we're least I'm staying for what
Speaker 5: I'm saying, Like, in terms of him not being very
Speaker 5: good so far in his career, it's not because the
Speaker 5: lack of talent around him. Is not for lack of coaching,
Speaker 5: it's not for lack of scheme, it's not for lack
Speaker 5: of protection.
Speaker 2: He just hasn't been good.
Speaker 5: So if he remotely like wakes up and takes him
Speaker 5: tuzzlem and clicks even remotely, listen, this is a team
Speaker 5: that you better put some respect on because you're really
Speaker 5: just missing that one element.
Speaker 2: It's not like, hey, we suck there. We're kind of
Speaker 2: weak there too. We're no.
Speaker 5: No, this is this is like if he figures it out,
Speaker 5: if they figure anything out with him, they can be
Speaker 5: really good offense.
Speaker 6: What did they not figured it out?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 6: What is it about?
Speaker 5: His timing is trash? His ball location is trash. His
Speaker 5: you know, velocity is nowhere near I saw it in college.
Speaker 5: I don't know what everybody was talking about coming into
Speaker 5: the league, but his velocity is not good at all.
Speaker 4: And they're trying to take a step up in that
Speaker 4: regard because last week he had a career high or
Speaker 4: a career.
Speaker 2: Low in terms of time to throw.
Speaker 4: They're trying to get the ball out of his hands
Speaker 4: quick so that way he makes it. Even if he
Speaker 4: does make a mistake, it's a lesser of a mistake.
Speaker 2: It's not the downfield perceptions.
Speaker 4: When you're lacking that's that's what they're trying to do.
Speaker 4: They're trying to take the ability to make mistakes out
Speaker 4: of Mike mc jj McCarthy's hands.
Speaker 2: That's what they're trying. So when you when you have
Speaker 2: a lack of velocity.
Speaker 5: When you have a lack of accuracy, the best thing
Speaker 5: to do is is quick passes, right, because that's the
Speaker 5: best way to increase your receiving percentage, to increase your
Speaker 5: passing percentage, Like, those are the things that you can
Speaker 5: do to help out your quarterback. This isn't because he's
Speaker 5: receiving pressure. This is not that's not the reason why
Speaker 5: they're making this change. Typically coaches shorten up the routes,
Speaker 5: shorten up the skin if your offensive line, if your
Speaker 5: offensive line is not good, right, or you just yeah,
Speaker 5: mainly your offensive line is not good, or they're not
Speaker 5: blocking very well, or you're getting pressure, all those things.
Speaker 5: But hardly ever in this league do you ever see
Speaker 5: coaches make that adjustment to their scheme because their quarterbacks
Speaker 5: inability to throw the ball beyond fifteen yards and to
Speaker 5: throw the ball accurately.
Speaker 8: I would not blitz JJ McCarthy. I wouldn't either, And
Speaker 8: I love that Kyle set this up for me. Okay,
Speaker 8: the Vikings do want to get the ball out of
Speaker 8: his hands quickly. This is one of the weird instances
Speaker 8: where I'm completely fine with not sending a plus one,
Speaker 8: especially if you get your Davion Clowney, get your pressure
Speaker 8: with your front four. But Cayle intimates something very important
Speaker 8: when it comes to j McCarthy, the more time he
Speaker 8: has in the pocket, that less likely he's going to
Speaker 8: make the completion. And that's not only backed up by film,
Speaker 8: but I just I was curious, so I looked it
Speaker 8: up on next.
Speaker 2: STA was also that way in Michigan too.
Speaker 8: Agreed, agreed, don't talk about it. Almost went there.
Speaker 2: I'm not going.
Speaker 8: I'm not going there. But yeah, okay. So per next Stats,
Speaker 8: three things jump out that support this point. As far
Speaker 8: as Mike McCarthy, the longer he has back there to
Speaker 8: make the throw, the more likely he's going to mess
Speaker 8: this up. Right, it's crazy as it was wild because
Speaker 8: typically it should be the other way around. You want
Speaker 8: to speed his clock up, but actually you want to
Speaker 8: slow his clock down.
Speaker 5: Because it's going to make an inverse relationship. He really
Speaker 5: just does so.
Speaker 8: Her next year instances, JJ McCarthy has completed just seventy
Speaker 8: two percent of his passes to open targets and open
Speaker 8: target as defined by a receiver who has three or
Speaker 8: more yards of separation.
Speaker 2: Oh brother, h H hit me with the sound, brother thinks.
Speaker 2: So when a receiver has three or more brother guy stacks.
Speaker 8: He is only hitting them less than three quarters of
Speaker 8: the time. Okaytory, right now, that's the lowest in the
Speaker 8: last week. Yeah, that's the lowest in the NFL, ahead
Speaker 8: of only one other quarterback. Would you like to know
Speaker 8: who that quarterback was? Anthony Richardson? Oh interesting, Wow, another
Speaker 8: stat that goes to that drive. Yeah, because god, that's awful.
Speaker 2: I mean, they did the same thing and went and
Speaker 2: got Philip Rivers. Oh, he looks like he's been sitting
Speaker 2: on the couch. He has been on the couch.
Speaker 8: Defenses are opting to not blitch JJ McCarthy this season,
Speaker 8: and they're allowing him, and they're dropping back with seven
Speaker 8: or more defenders and coverage when they do that. JJ
Speaker 8: McCarthy has the lowest completion rate in the entire NFL
Speaker 8: at fifty six percent.
Speaker 5: So would you say, is we need a one man
Speaker 5: rush and the second and the second fewish yards per
Speaker 5: attempt at five and a half yards.
Speaker 8: This is the most upside down shouts out to stranger things.
Speaker 2: This is the most.
Speaker 8: Upside down thing I've seen in football in a long time.
Speaker 8: We're literally telling you that JJ McCarthy. If you allow
Speaker 8: him time to throw the ball, he'll mess it up.
Speaker 8: But if you if you get on him quickly, pressure wise,
Speaker 8: he might make the completion.
Speaker 2: There's no season be screaming for the press box.
Speaker 12: Don't stas prevent defense all game, just prevent defense.
Speaker 2: Just leave them alone.
Speaker 8: The film in the stats, the Scotty report on Jajon
Speaker 8: McCarthy is if you leave them alone, he'll throw.
Speaker 2: You get your chance, all right.
Speaker 4: When we come back on Talking Cowboys, we're gonna talk
Speaker 4: about the rest of the weapons though on the Minnesota side,
Speaker 4: and then how Dallas matches up defensively, and don't worry
Speaker 4: lab Coat coming up a little bit later.

Speaker 5: Yeah, remember from Miami, Dad, I don't know if somebody
Speaker 5: from Miam Yeah, are you kidding?

Speaker 2: first nobody is Miami.

Speaker 12: going Glen Rice.

Speaker 4: entire chat is just spamming Glenn.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So look they know.
Speaker 8: Ball, Alan, Keith, all of you guys, James Vuie, but
Speaker 8: you can you can freez that nobody knows Glenn Rice
Speaker 8: from Miami.
Speaker 2: I would say, I know, I first thought would be Sharlotte.
Speaker 4: Charlotte. That's what he made his career. That's okay, that's
Speaker 4: Glenn Rice's grandmama. Yeah, okay, what sha Those guys know ball, So.
Speaker 2: You don't you don't go back to to Orlando, Glen, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 8: L A is the Shack you remember? Orlando is the
Speaker 8: Shack that that he.
Speaker 5: That's what made Shack. But what made Shack Hall of
Speaker 5: Famer l A.
Speaker 2: You're saying, you're saying, Shack is who l A?
Speaker 5: He said, when you think of Shack, what's the first
Speaker 5: thing you think of Lenox?
Speaker 2: You know, first thing you think of is l A.
Speaker 2: I think of him being a DJ. Hey, Shack fool
Speaker 2: talking cowboys starts at.
Speaker 4: Nine, I know, all right, doing our boys defense versus
Speaker 4: the Minnesota offensive preview. Outside of JJ McCarthy, tell me
Speaker 4: a little bit about the others out there. Remember you
Speaker 4: hear about speaking of basketball terms. You hear about the
Speaker 4: others that are there that are going to make a
Speaker 4: big impact on the game, on the game and on
Speaker 4: the team offensively for offensively for them, I mean, they've
Speaker 4: got some dude.
Speaker 2: They got some dues.
Speaker 5: Justin Jefferson obviously arguably the best receiver in the game,
Speaker 5: arguably because you you have a guy here that's in
Speaker 5: that conversation as well, sort of Cincinnati Jordan Addison, really
Speaker 5: good Jalen Naylor really good. All three of the receivers,
Speaker 5: they have a solid receiving corps.
Speaker 7: Jalen Naylor is that one of those guys against the
Speaker 7: Cowboys that typically is going to kill you, you know
Speaker 7: what I'm saying, like one of those yak guys that
Speaker 7: it's like, how is he open? How is he that
Speaker 7: wide open? And he's gonna hurt him.
Speaker 2: I really like their core.
Speaker 5: Obviously, they have three guys that I really really trust
Speaker 5: and they all present different problems. And then you go
Speaker 5: to the tight end tj Hodkinson, and he's tried and true.
Speaker 5: Obviously everybody knows that he's a solid tight end. When
Speaker 5: you think about tight ends, he's a He's a real
Speaker 5: one block. He could stand there, he could block, he
Speaker 5: could run routes, he could post you up in the
Speaker 5: red zone. He does all the things. And Aaron Jones
Speaker 5: just continues to find a way to stay in the league.
Speaker 7: A guy you don't want to see back at and
Speaker 7: T Stadium.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he always has my good every.
Speaker 6: He was a free agent.
Speaker 2: We need to start him in fantasy. He was a
Speaker 2: free agent. It was yeah, it was.
Speaker 5: It was actually on Good Morning Football with us. He's
Speaker 5: a good dude. That's a good dude. He's he's a
Speaker 5: really cool guy.
Speaker 2: So he's a good dude. He's a good player.
Speaker 5: Jordan Mason his back backup. You guys remember his time
Speaker 5: when he was in San Francisco, really good. He took
Speaker 5: advantage of the opportunity when McCaffrey went out, he stepped in,
Speaker 5: balled out and then when signed with the Minnesota and
Speaker 5: found himself in another backup role. But he's a dude.
Speaker 5: Even at the two second second on the depth chart
Speaker 5: and then their fullback he goes to the ball. What
Speaker 5: a what a last name for a full back? Yeah,
Speaker 5: he just goes hand about to go. But you don't
Speaker 5: want to meet him. You do not want to meet him.
Speaker 5: He's the last guy that you want to meet when
Speaker 5: when the hole opens up and you have to come
Speaker 5: downhill and try to try to go out there and
Speaker 5: hit somebody.
Speaker 2: Last guy you want to see. C J. Ham.
Speaker 5: There's not that many fullbacks in the league. Out of
Speaker 5: the fullbacks that are in the league, he's one of
Speaker 5: the ones that you don't want to see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's one of the bees.
Speaker 5: He's physical as heck like, he's not a fullback. That's
Speaker 5: all your team to be on special teams Like this,
Speaker 5: dude will hit your face mask off the rails.
Speaker 2: What why'd you say that last part? A fullback that's
Speaker 2: on your team just to be on special teams. You're
Speaker 2: referencing somebody? Are you saying anybody's name here?
Speaker 4: Not at all talking about talking about see light, You're
Speaker 4: talking about jad if you will.
Speaker 2: Kind of felt like there was like a little little
Speaker 2: sideway shot there saying.
Speaker 5: Being coy Isaiah, you're having a fullback, you might as
Speaker 5: well using for fullback things.
Speaker 2: Whoa in Minnesota? Does that? Feels like Minnesota definitely does that?
Speaker 2: Feels like Kevin O'Connell does that. Kevin O'Connell.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can attest to this, or you can talk
Speaker 4: to my wife and she can at So this this
Speaker 4: is gonna be something you guys give me flag for
Speaker 4: for a long time. There are two coaches that when
Speaker 4: I'm at home and we're watching football that I just
Speaker 4: gush over, like just man.
Speaker 2: Crush straight up.
Speaker 4: I love these two guys, Kyle Shanahan and Kevin O'Connell.
Speaker 4: Those are the two dudes in the NFL because they're
Speaker 4: freaking smart as hell and they know how to run
Speaker 4: a team. And so I feel like there's a lot
Speaker 4: of guys in the league that.
Speaker 2: Are good at one or the other.
Speaker 4: They know they are either good leaders or they're really
Speaker 4: good x's and o's wise, and those guys are good
Speaker 4: at both of them, and they they get people to
Speaker 4: rally around them. And I think Kevin O'Connell does that.
Speaker 4: This would be a ten win team if they had
Speaker 4: a good question.
Speaker 2: Oh, easily, this would be a ten win team if
Speaker 2: they had a quarterback. So they don't. This is michaelay roster.
Speaker 5: That's my question because there is a chance that that
Speaker 5: JJ McCarthy can wake up.
Speaker 2: And have it, specially there's there's a there's a chance
Speaker 2: that he could just wake up and ball out that day.
Speaker 2: Remember that's really in year one. He's two years in
Speaker 2: the league.
Speaker 4: He got injured last year, didn't really watch and watched
Speaker 4: and learned and saw Sam Darnold do what he did
Speaker 4: throughout the year. So he's basically a rookie yep. So
Speaker 4: there's gonna be growth in there.
Speaker 5: So if he shows up that does expect him to
Speaker 5: show up in Balto? Okay, what's your approach defensively? Being
Speaker 5: that these guys are so well rounded across the board.
Speaker 8: Well, if for whatever reason, he completely bucks this trend
Speaker 8: that we're seeing as far as if you give him
Speaker 8: more time, sure he will mess up. If he bucks that,
Speaker 8: then send the horses. Then you send the blitz because
Speaker 8: you need to do whatever you need to knock him
Speaker 8: off his spot, whatever the spot might be.
Speaker 6: So if his his mental spot or both.
Speaker 2: Because if he.
Speaker 8: Is uncomfortable sitting in the pocket for a long period
Speaker 8: of time and making those plays he just talked about,
Speaker 8: he only completes seventy three percent to receivers who are
Speaker 8: have three plus yards of separation, right, So if that's
Speaker 8: what makes him uncomfortable, let that happen, don't.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. It's a weird dynamic. Right.
Speaker 8: However, if you see him back there taking advantage of
Speaker 8: this extra time, then disrupt that, like find the discomfort,
Speaker 8: whatever that might be.
Speaker 5: So by bringing pressure, typically you're gonna be lesser on
Speaker 5: the back end when they have the very lever.
Speaker 8: That's that's why it works in your favor to not
Speaker 8: send your plus one.
Speaker 2: That's that's the key you need. You need the coverage
Speaker 2: against that quarter that you're talking about.
Speaker 8: And it helps that he doesn't excel when not pressured anyway,
Speaker 8: So the formula is ready made.
Speaker 2: Just have your seven you know, dbs, and then tell your.
Speaker 8: Front four get pressure to just get pressure organically, you
Speaker 8: do it that way. Film scouting numbers say that McCarthy
Speaker 8: will will blow this game. Now, Cowboys defense has been
Speaker 8: a get right game. Yeah, if we expect let's let's say, hypothetically,
Speaker 8: if McCarthy goes out there and in the first quarter,
Speaker 8: you know where the Cowboys are currently being outscored.
Speaker 2: Forty two nine in the first quarter.
Speaker 8: Good god, if for whatever reason you see that happening,
Speaker 8: flip the script.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: I think, at least outside looking in, from our purview,
Speaker 7: this would be the game for Logan Wilson to really
Speaker 7: make his debut as a starter for the Cowboys. In
Speaker 7: my opinion, he's still here, Logan Wilson is, he's employed here,
Speaker 7: He is employed.
Speaker 6: He ain't taking many I'll say that.
Speaker 7: But if you're going to have him take the majority
Speaker 7: of the snaps over a K nine, let's just say, hypothetically,
Speaker 7: if that's what they want to do, this is the
Speaker 7: game to do it.
Speaker 2: Question, just because I don't.
Speaker 5: I feel I'm not looking at the chat, but I
Speaker 5: feel as if our family isn't understanding how much of
Speaker 5: a threat these this skill set position is.
Speaker 2: I think they know if nothing else, they know justin
Speaker 2: Jefferson isn't a all right, So let's ask this question.
Speaker 2: Is this the most well rounded?
Speaker 5: This is in the top three of the most well
Speaker 5: rounded offensive skill positions that we've faced this year?
Speaker 7: Top three, Yes, if you combined why, whide receivers, tight quarter,
Speaker 7: running backs.
Speaker 5: Yeah, running backs, tight ends, wide receiver, yes, top three,
Speaker 5: top three. That's why I want people to understand dangerous if
Speaker 5: they get a quick I want That's why I want
Speaker 5: people to understand.
Speaker 2: Like, to me, this is number three, who's two and
Speaker 2: who's one?
Speaker 5: I think that obviously Philly fill in therese Philly's in there.
Speaker 5: And then the one that just in Chicago.
Speaker 2: Chicago's up there. That was kind of the other one,
Speaker 2: Troy Troy.
Speaker 8: I was gonna say that might be the one that
Speaker 8: just had I was I was a healthy loporter.
Speaker 2: But yeah, exactly, Reporter might have been fifty five.
Speaker 5: I think I put them at four three or four.
Speaker 5: Chicago and them were interchangeable to me. I'll put them
Speaker 5: out of Chicago, so I'll put them you put them ahead.
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna start Philly, Arizona, yes, easy, uh, Kansas City,
Speaker 4: they have the quarterback.
Speaker 2: Yes, they don't have the I don't the receivers on
Speaker 2: Amazing Raiders, No Broncos. Maybe no receivers now, JK dobbin.
Speaker 2: I mean they put up forty four on you compared
Speaker 2: on you.
Speaker 6: What I'm saying everybody does that.
Speaker 8: Three destroyed Vikings taking the quarterback out of the Trackers,
Speaker 8: Philly Detroit Vikings, Packers, Trey McBride, Packers.
Speaker 2: Is more than Philly Detroit Vikings for.
Speaker 4: Me, Philly Detroit Vikings over Chicago.
Speaker 5: Chicago's right, I think what I think about right now,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna put Chicago right that four.
Speaker 8: So I think the biggest problem for the boys with
Speaker 8: this with this offense, Yeah, Justin Jefferson is one of
Speaker 8: the biggest problems. But it's like Josh said, Man, until
Speaker 8: you figure out a way to stop letting Aaron Jones
Speaker 8: come into at and t staate goodness and look like
Speaker 8: Eric Dickerson every single time, then you're you're going to
Speaker 8: keep losing to whatever team Aaron Jones is playing for
Speaker 8: every but he.
Speaker 7: Had his best game in the season last week against
Speaker 7: a defense where he was running up the middle of
Speaker 7: the entire game.
Speaker 6: I don't think they're gonna be able to do that
Speaker 6: this week. I really don't.
Speaker 7: But if they just rely on you going to the outside,
Speaker 7: and if you got Kenneth Murray playing all game, then yeah,
Speaker 7: you got a good chance to gain some yards. But
Speaker 7: they're not gonna be able to rely on the inside rush.
Speaker 8: I will say this, this is different, and you're right,
Speaker 8: this part is different from when Aaron Jones has faced
Speaker 8: the Cowboys on the multiple occasions prior that you could
Speaker 8: just run up the middle. Now you got Big Q,
Speaker 8: you got Kenny Clark right there, Sally Osa. Yeah, those
Speaker 8: guys as a whole need to have a bounce back game.
Speaker 8: But I like a pissed off Quinn Williams. This was
Speaker 8: his first loss suffered in the Cowboys uniform, and it
Speaker 8: wasn't a pretty one. Forty four points allowed. And you
Speaker 8: know he said after the game, after that loss, he said,
Speaker 8: we're better than forty four points.
Speaker 2: I like to hear.
Speaker 8: Quentin Williams say things like that because it tells me
Speaker 8: he's pissed off some accountability there, Yeah, and a pissed
Speaker 8: off Quinn William Matt.
Speaker 2: I feel like he's mad. It sounds like you can tell.
Speaker 4: The more we talk about this, the more we're cutting

Speaker 12: To yes, sing us hurry and he doesn't have to
Speaker 12: drop ready.
Speaker 8: All right, we're gonna we're gonna talk about this place.
Speaker 8: We're gonna talk about this. Playoffs were really quickly play off. Yeah,
Speaker 8: I know, I know fans are wondering. Hey, you know, no,
Speaker 8: see Isaiah cow Josh, what's the path to the playoffs
Speaker 8: for the Dallas Cowboys?
Speaker 2: What has to happen?
Speaker 8: I wrote this in this week's Science Lab, which will
Speaker 8: go up on Dallas Cowboys dot com within the hour,
Speaker 8: So make sure you check that out because I'm not
Speaker 8: going to give you everything that's in that column, but
Speaker 8: I'll give you two key points. The Cowboy always number one.
Speaker 8: We all know they have to win out. It is unequivocal.
Speaker 8: You have zero margin for error. You gotta mel again
Speaker 8: with the Philadelphia Eagles losing to the Los Angeles Chargers,
Speaker 8: take advantage of it. You have to win these next
Speaker 8: four games, point blankant period. If you don't, nothing I'm
Speaker 8: about to say matters. If you do what I'm about
Speaker 8: to say will matter. That's how it goes. In addition
Speaker 8: to winning out, the Cowboys need the Eagles to lose.
Speaker 8: Turns out not to Kyle. They need to lose three
Speaker 8: oh four games. They need to lose three. They have
Speaker 8: the Raiders coming up. They got the Commanders twice and
Speaker 8: they got the Buffalo Bills, so I really think they're
Speaker 8: gonna drop the rop it against the Buffalo Bills. I
Speaker 8: think they split with the Commanders. Commanders are looking to
Speaker 8: play spoiler. Question is can the Commanders sweep or can
Speaker 8: the Raiders pull a shocking up sit we'll see. Cowboys
Speaker 8: also need the Bears to lose. No excuse me if
Speaker 8: the Eagles lose three of the next four and the
Speaker 8: Cowboys went out. You got the NFC East.
Speaker 2: You got it. That's what you're aiming for, cool beings. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: it's two. I have three here, check let's see. So
Speaker 2: let's yeah, just double check your math. Hold on, and
Speaker 2: I did. We're a game and a half back. We're
Speaker 2: game and a half back. So if they lose two
Speaker 2: and we win, I.
Speaker 8: Wonder if this tie is coming in because I don't. Yeah,
Speaker 8: that's what between three metrics? Yeh, three metrics, we're two
Speaker 8: behind them, including the ESPN model has them having to
Speaker 8: lose three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll confirm. I'm looking at the NFL model.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's right.
Speaker 8: Okay, so we have a discrepancy between ESPN PFF model
Speaker 8: and rather we'll see now. But nonetheless, that's fine. You
Speaker 8: need them to lose at least two, maybe three, we'll see.
Speaker 8: Y'all looked that up. Now, that'll get you the NFC
Speaker 8: East title.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 8: Much more difficult path is if the Bears. You need
Speaker 8: the Bears to lose three out of four. That'll get
Speaker 8: you a wild card. If you went out and the
Speaker 8: Bears collapse, then you can get the wild card. But
Speaker 8: considering the Bears play the Browns next. I think they
Speaker 8: walk the Browns. You're hoping that Bear No, I'm not actually,
Speaker 8: because it's the NFL. You're hoping that the Bears can
Speaker 8: get a bounce back game against the Packers and don't
Speaker 8: allow a sweep by the Packers. Then they go against
Speaker 8: the forty nine Ers and the Lions. So it's possible
Speaker 8: that the Bears could lose three of the next four Packers,
Speaker 8: forty nine Ers, Lions after the Browns.
Speaker 2: We'll see if that happens.
Speaker 8: There are two other scenarios that involve the Lions and
Speaker 8: the forty nine Ers falling backwards and what they need
Speaker 8: to do as far as it collapse is concerned to
Speaker 8: help the Cowboys that you got to check out on
Speaker 8: Science Lab on Dallas Cowboys dot com. But I am
Speaker 8: going to double check, well not even double quadruple drew,
Speaker 8: because I triple checked and I had three different models saying.
Speaker 2: Can I when did you look at it last night?
Speaker 2: In this morning? I pinned this column. When was the
Speaker 2: date from from when they posted that question? Well too,
Speaker 2: because it's because Monday night. No, No, it was before Monday.
Speaker 2: I think I believe it was Tuesday yeah, it's definitely
Speaker 2: two games. They need to lose two for sure. Even better.
Speaker 4: If they lose two games, they finish at ten and seven. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and if we went out, if the Cowboys went out,
Speaker 4: then they are ten to six and one, so the tide.
Speaker 2: So even better. Two games.
Speaker 8: So Cowboys need win four, Eagles lose two. That gives
Speaker 8: you the NFC East. Cowboys win four, Eagles don't lose two.
Speaker 8: You look at the Bears, Bears need to lose three
Speaker 8: or the last four, and it's possible because again, Packers,
Speaker 8: forty nine Ers, Lions, and then you look at where
Speaker 8: each of those teams where they're up against when they
Speaker 8: face the Bears, forty nine Ers vying for to stay
Speaker 8: in the playoff, Lions will be vying for you know,
Speaker 8: playoff seating, right, So and we know the Packers are
Speaker 8: looking to sweep their rivals so they can improve their
Speaker 8: seating potential.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we'll see how that goes playoffs.
Speaker 4: Could you imagine the scene at at and T Stadium
Speaker 4: this weekend if the Raiders, who play the Eagles at
Speaker 4: noon end up upsetting Philadelphia at noon on Sunday and
Speaker 4: then by the time everybody gets to a t and
Speaker 4: T Stadium, Dallas has a chance to be half game
Speaker 4: out like that would be that it would completely change
Speaker 4: the entire feeling around the building just by a game.
Speaker 2: That happens halfway across the country.
Speaker 4: It'd be pretty wild if that ends up happening. So
Speaker 4: go Raiders, Let's go lost. Come on, get it done, baby,
Speaker 4: Carol will do a thing.
Speaker 2: Come on, Pete.
Speaker 3: Rock Powers.
Speaker 5: Carroll's trying to get a draft pick, buddy, Pete Carroll doesn't.
Speaker 2: No, he would never be talking about that would never happen.
Speaker 8: Oh no, Isaiah takes that information from his guy Pete.
Speaker 2: No, he didn't commit to him. Pete. Pete wanted to
Speaker 2: recruit him.
Speaker 4: He did, Isaiah said no, He said, no, get your uh,
Speaker 4: get your workout in today.
Speaker 2: You might get a.
Speaker 4: Call from some of these teams that need a quarterback.
Speaker 4: Here's three years younger than Philip Mud has him to
Speaker 4: say about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was like, wait, I'm not available.
Speaker 4: It's like, no, Cam, you're not all right for Patrick
Speaker 4: knows trying as Isaiah stand back, Chris Beam in the back,
Speaker 4: I'm Kyle Yeoman saying so long, we'll see you tomorrow
Speaker 4: with a say it with your chest Friday going into
Speaker 4: this matchup on Sunday against the Vikings.
Speaker 2: See you later.
