Speaker 7: Wait wait, wait, it's actually a clap bro.
Speaker 8: Oh no way, Now you can't clap dirty wait or
Speaker 8: else the lights.
Speaker 5: But what if we believe in Javonte, Let's go. Let's go, bro,
Speaker 5: So we got the studio was like clap for me.
Speaker 5: I don't feel like coming in there and changing the lights.
Speaker 5: I just saw some new clap.
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, so I'm thinking Biamer's just like joking around.
Speaker 1: He's a joker.
Speaker 5: Bro.
Speaker 1: So I clap and it changes. I'm like, oh, that
Speaker 1: was great timing.
Speaker 9: Bro.
Speaker 1: I forgot I completely the show.
Speaker 3: I was wondering what was going on, all the lights switching,
Speaker 3: and I was like, I guess it's a rave.
Speaker 8: I don't know if that's a great idea now that
Speaker 8: we think.
Speaker 1: Of, Bro, everybody when they're doing their other shows. I'm
Speaker 1: walking by just clapping. Crawl on the ground over here,
Speaker 1: just start clapping. We're gonna have some fun with it.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 2: Every time we do the Javante clap from here on out,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be pink.
Speaker 3: And white and blue.
Speaker 8: And oh that was all the clapping you can handle
Speaker 8: on talking cowboys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go. That's hey. We have fun in here.
Speaker 10: That is wait, no doubt, just make it clap, there's
Speaker 10: no doubt. All right, gentlemen, and we're off. Enough of
Speaker 10: the man buns, chill out, enough of the man cool off.
Speaker 1: I tell you.
Speaker 3: All right, we've got to get into some news and
Speaker 3: notes here for the cowboys. Today is our cowboys offense?
Speaker 2: Or excuse me, defensive preview going up against the Las
Speaker 2: Vegas Raiders offense.
Speaker 3: We talked about the flip side of the matchup yesterday.
Speaker 2: And Isaiah did a great job going through it on
Speaker 2: QB Vision about what the Raiders bring on the defensive side.
Speaker 2: We'll also have lab Coat ready to rock. We're gonna
Speaker 2: get a health healthy serving of science.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I can't wait for that. And so Pat will let
Speaker 3: you start it off here.
Speaker 6: Yeah, just a couple of news and notes. I mean,
Speaker 6: for those that may not know the offensive tackle Jeron Christian.
Speaker 6: He was actually poached from the practice squad by the
Speaker 6: Denver Broncos. So lose one game one. Yesterday, the Cowboys
Speaker 6: signed offensive tackle Marcellus Johnson to the practice squad. Johnson's
Speaker 6: an undrafted free agent from twenty twenty four, so young guy.
Speaker 1: He's in year two.
Speaker 6: He spent both of his seasons to this point between
Speaker 6: the New York Giants and the Minnesota Vikings practice squad,
Speaker 6: kind of oscillating between those two teams before more recently
Speaker 6: going with the Indianapolis coach which is where the Cowboys
Speaker 6: acquired him from, or I should say after that stint.
Speaker 6: So that's the only transaction for yesterday just a practice
Speaker 6: squad transaction. We already know the huge news we talked
Speaker 6: about yesterday Agent zero de marveon overshown Cifon revel they
Speaker 6: were activated to the active roster from are So that's
Speaker 6: basically the what they have going on now. Today the
Speaker 6: Cowboys will return to practice for the first time since
Speaker 6: the marshaw neland tragedy. So that's going to be critical
Speaker 6: to see how they move forward. And I loved how
Speaker 6: Brian Schottenheimer worded that so eloquently, say we don't move on,
Speaker 6: we move forward, perfectly stated. So that process has already begun,
Speaker 6: but it really becomes a rubber meeting the road type
Speaker 6: thing today when they put their cleats in the grass.
Speaker 2: So that'll be today, And he did say in the
Speaker 2: press or yesterday, so he said, for some guys, that's
Speaker 2: going to be the best thing.
Speaker 3: For other guys, it's going to be emotional.
Speaker 2: And I can understand that sense of it following a
Speaker 2: loss like that, and today is going to be extra
Speaker 2: emotional because it's also the first time that they're putting
Speaker 2: on pads. They're going to be standing next to his locker,
Speaker 2: they're going to be all together in the sense of
Speaker 2: they've already done that from a classroom standpoint this week,
Speaker 2: but from a practice standpoint, they haven't done it without Marshawn.
Speaker 3: And then it's going to end up being emotional on
Speaker 3: Monday too, I'm sure so.
Speaker 8: But I loved what he said. I mean overall, I mean,
Speaker 8: just watch that press conference.
Speaker 3: It was amazing how.
Speaker 8: Upfront he was with everything and obviously dealing with a lot,
Speaker 8: but the strength to stand up there and say exactly
Speaker 8: what he said yesterday was really just moving, honestly. But
Speaker 8: my favorite thing was when he said, we will honor
Speaker 8: marsh On with how we play not just against the Raiders,
Speaker 8: but for the rest of the season. I was talking
Speaker 8: about that on Monday when we've had our first show.
Speaker 8: Is that I don't want the narrative to be especially
Speaker 8: from you know, fan base or people that are not inside,
Speaker 8: the ability to be like, oh well this better you know,
Speaker 8: motivate them to play well going forward, like it's it's
Speaker 8: so much bigger than that. But the way that he
Speaker 8: put it, the way that he stated it, I think
Speaker 8: is perfect for what they need. And no better guy
Speaker 8: than Brian Schottenheimer to lead those men.
Speaker 2: And it goes back to what Solomon Thomas even said
Speaker 2: to Tommy Yaris. You can read that piece on Dallas
Speaker 2: Cowboys dot Com from earlier in the week. He talked
Speaker 2: about how shot and High addressed the team earlier this
Speaker 2: week whenever they finally did come back together, and he
Speaker 2: said he had an incredible slate of words to share
Speaker 2: the emotion and to kind of share what was happening
Speaker 2: within the building. If from the outside looking in, I
Speaker 2: know I've seen a lot of love and support.
Speaker 3: I've also seen some.
Speaker 2: Comments out there about Okay, it's time to get back
Speaker 2: to football. It's time to get back to football. I
Speaker 2: get it, I understand it. But this is still an
Speaker 2: organization that's going to hurt for a long time. They're
Speaker 2: gonna hurt forever, and they're going to always miss Marshawn
Speaker 2: neland and I think you're going to see that throughout
Speaker 2: the season. I know we're in the middle of the
Speaker 2: bye week, coming off of the bye week. Then you'll
Speaker 2: get back into a routine. And that was another thing
Speaker 2: Shoty said yesterday, is it's imperative that they get back
Speaker 2: into a routine, Isaiah, because I know that's part of
Speaker 2: what a season is from a players and coaching standpoint,
Speaker 2: You've got to find a routine, you got to stick
Speaker 2: with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 4: I mean you get in a sequence right where you're
Speaker 4: kind of just rolling. You understand what every day brings.
Speaker 4: Your mind kind of gets calibrated in terms of tan
Speaker 4: and your body gets adjusted to Hey, this this is
Speaker 4: the day that I work. There's a day that you
Speaker 4: get the physicality, and when that gets thrown off due
Speaker 4: to a bye week, due to Monday night games, Thursday
Speaker 4: night games, it really messes with you. It's one of
Speaker 4: the main things outside of just recovery. Why players, I
Speaker 4: should say before I speak as a former player don't
Speaker 4: like Thursday night games. It's because your body, it not
Speaker 4: only hasn't had enough time to recover right, but also
Speaker 4: mentally it throws off your your timer. It's no different
Speaker 4: than going across seas and trying to play a game,
Speaker 4: or going across seas and traveling with your family. Right,
Speaker 4: your your mind is calibrated for one time and you
Speaker 4: have to, you know hard, reset it and be like no,
Speaker 4: I need you to adjust to this time and your
Speaker 4: body struggles to get on that on that timeline. So
Speaker 4: it's a number of things. But yeah, no, that He's
Speaker 4: definitely right. We are creatures of habit. A lot of
Speaker 4: guys struggle outside of football because they're that that structure
Speaker 4: is gone. So they definitely need to get back in
Speaker 4: line with that. And that's the reason why you heard,
Speaker 4: you know, Quinn Williams. He was doing his interviews with
Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys dot Com. He was talking about, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: be here and I'm gonna run myself through a workout
Speaker 4: on Sunday because my body is accustomed to working on Sundays,
Speaker 4: you know, and I don't want to throw that time.
Speaker 2: And then he's coming off of double bye weeks too.
Speaker 2: He had a bye week in week nine with the Jets,
Speaker 2: and then he gets traded to a team that has
Speaker 2: a week ten by.
Speaker 3: He hasn't played since week eight.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. He's fresh, fresh, baked, told
Speaker 1: the Jets double bosh and baked. He's ready to roll,
Speaker 1: roll it off. He ready to get after body based
Speaker 1: que you ready to roll I'm saying, did anybody get
Speaker 1: him some barbecue yet? BBQ?
Speaker 3: I'm sure winning.
Speaker 1: Quinn, if you're listening, your boy will take you to
Speaker 1: get some barbecue.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: You got you're taking specifically I'm not gonna we'll.
Speaker 3: Take take him as a good call.
Speaker 8: Good call, yeah, taking the black Rabble coffee first, and then.
Speaker 1: Make sure Brisket is involved.
Speaker 3: We got to make sure he's had him Visitligne taking
Speaker 3: care of it'll be good. Yeah, let's he's had a
Speaker 3: a Lenovo computer.
Speaker 1: Against this offensive line.
Speaker 3: Can't wait a We'll talk more about that here in
Speaker 3: a little bit.
Speaker 1: See that, Barty.
Speaker 3: Any other news and notes their path.
Speaker 6: No, no, those are that's the transaction. Just a couple
Speaker 6: of practice squad swaps over the past couple of days.
Speaker 6: We already know the headliners coming back and they're back
Speaker 6: at practice today and yeah, so now it's just a
Speaker 6: matter of seeing who is going to practice that has
Speaker 6: a question mark around them. So we're talking about guys
Speaker 6: like Donovan Wilson. Will see, if you know, the optimism
Speaker 6: surrounding Malie Hooker, who as we speak is still currently
Speaker 6: on to activate his window of twenty one days hasn't
Speaker 6: been activated yet. We'll see how that goes. We know
Speaker 6: unfortunately one year Thomas is down for at least four games,
Speaker 6: maybe more because he deals with these migraines. So today
Speaker 6: will be critical for not only the emotional component of
Speaker 6: the Cowboys. But physically we need to see coming off
Speaker 6: this by who whose body bounced back fairly well, you know,
Speaker 6: from being banged up.
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 2: And remember the twenty one day practice window. You do
Speaker 2: not have to complete the twenty one days in order
Speaker 2: to be put on the roster.
Speaker 1: A lot of times you just do one. Yeah.
Speaker 2: A lot of times teams will stretch that and then
Speaker 2: we'll push it all the way out and that may
Speaker 2: That way, they have the roster exemption and they don't
Speaker 2: have to necessarily make sure that they're on the active
Speaker 2: fifty three man roster immediately.
Speaker 3: But they can activate him as soon as today if
Speaker 3: they really want to. They can bypass the whole window,
Speaker 3: if you could.
Speaker 1: If they feel like he's ready to go, that could
Speaker 1: be a thing.
Speaker 3: Who's that people in the window.
Speaker 2: Before we take our first break and then we begin
Speaker 2: our Cowboys defensive preview. I know yesterday Coach Schottenheimer brought
Speaker 2: up the Marshawn neland memorial. Yes fund, is there a
Speaker 2: way that our Talking Cowboys listeners can donate to that
Speaker 2: and and give to Catalina Marshaw's girlfriend and their they're current.
Speaker 6: They're absolutely families and that link is Marshan Kneelandfund dot org.
Speaker 6: Easy enough, so go to Marshan Nilandfund dot org if
Speaker 6: you would like to and are able to donate. Those
Speaker 6: funds go directly to Catalina, who recently discovered that she
Speaker 6: and Marshawn are pregnant. So the goal here and the
Speaker 6: contributions have already been pouring in from inside the building
Speaker 6: from teammates and ownership and coaches and the like. But
Speaker 6: as a fan, if you want to and your heart
Speaker 6: moves you to give towards this particular cause, by all means,
Speaker 6: do it again.
Speaker 1: Marshaan Kneelandfund dot org. There you go.
Speaker 2: I want to give you guys an opportunity to help
Speaker 2: if you feel so inclined to. I know, I think
Speaker 2: me and my wife were talking about a possible donation
Speaker 2: on our end that we'll contribute to, and everybody out there,
Speaker 2: I encourage you to donate to the family that lost
Speaker 2: the loved one.
Speaker 8: This week in the time that you gave the r
Speaker 8: L to. Right now a donation has been made.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 1: That's sorry.
Speaker 8: It's a very quick thing to do, cool, it takes nothing,
Speaker 8: and I.
Speaker 1: Want to say you have. If you're able to, please
Speaker 1: do it. If you're able to one.
Speaker 6: I want to say something really quickly because I saw
Speaker 6: a couple of unfortunate comments that I chose not to
Speaker 6: reply to online. I just get the reply and locked
Speaker 6: them because this is not the time to piss me off.
Speaker 6: Now with your ignorance, I will say this, Yes, it
Speaker 6: is one hundred percent true. As I just said, donations
Speaker 6: are coming in from inside the building, these players, coaches,
Speaker 6: the executives, and yes they are wealthy individuals, but that
Speaker 6: does not mean that you have the right to judge
Speaker 6: if a fan who's also grieving wants to make that donation,
Speaker 6: if they want to make the donation. Understand, everyone grieves differently,
Speaker 6: and if this is a way that any particular fan, friend,
Speaker 6: or whatever the case may be, if this helps them
Speaker 6: through their grieving process by giving to Catalina, you allow
Speaker 6: them to do so, and you shut the hell up.
Speaker 3: Thanks, well said. All right.
Speaker 2: When we come back here on talking Cowboys, we had
Speaker 2: the Cowboys offensive preview versus what was the the words.
Speaker 3: Raiders? Yeah, you are actually making a donation. I can
Speaker 3: see your credit card numbers right here?
Speaker 1: Can I you see the last word CVV.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I see the watch show the cameras because the
Speaker 3: watch you can't have watches.
Speaker 8: That's that Good morning football money?
Speaker 3: Hey, what's that?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make my donation, That's all I'm doing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you guys freaking carry on, but a break all right?
Speaker 2: When we come back here on talking Cowboys, we're gonna
Speaker 2: flip it to the Cowboys defense, a new look defense
Speaker 2: going up the Raiders offense. I don't think you could
Speaker 2: use that same word against the Raiders offense.
Speaker 1: But one player on there is playing try.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about it right after this.
Speaker 11: Every day begins with a promise, a promise to work
Speaker 11: hard and to build a future. That's why we're here

Speaker 2: There's one more left in there.
Speaker 3: I left it in there for you. Yes, let's Josh
Speaker 3: took it.
Speaker 1: Third segment.
Speaker 3: We're gonna make happen in this string.
Speaker 8: As far as I'm concerned. The energy drinks are for
Speaker 8: Patrick Nocy Walker.
Speaker 3: Those things are delicious though.
Speaker 1: I like the zero sugar like white can. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: It got me through uh midnight drive to Starkville last week.
Speaker 2: That was that was what I had in my backpack
Speaker 2: from down here. I grabbed one and stashed it for
Speaker 2: a little bit and it helped me survive the drive.
Speaker 3: That's exactly what happened?
Speaker 4: All right, when we come or when we come there,
Speaker 4: what do you do? I get we are back a
Speaker 4: best case. Hey made another donation, so we got the two.
Speaker 3: For in just a few minutes. Have been right.
Speaker 1: It's very easy to do if you can.
Speaker 6: And if your heart moves you to do so, by
Speaker 6: all means do so. If your heart doesn't move you
Speaker 6: to do so, that's well and fine, but stop talking
Speaker 6: down to those whose heart is moving them.
Speaker 3: To do so.
Speaker 6: It's really just that simple. It's kind of being a
Speaker 6: good human being. So you know, excuse me, let me
Speaker 6: make sure the settle is right on this hot horse.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, let's talk about the Cowboys defense
Speaker 2: versus New Look defense versus the Raiders. Hey wait, you
Speaker 2: said somebody's playing like trash on the Raiders side of things.
Speaker 1: Ah, you got to say the right way though, they're
Speaker 1: playing like right?
Speaker 3: Who are you referencing?
Speaker 4: I'm talking about their offense just in general, Kyle. I
Speaker 4: don't like individuals out there. Again, Yeah, I don't like
Speaker 4: pointing out personal individuals. However, they have not had great
Speaker 4: play from the quarterback position. Old Geno aka former quarterback
Speaker 4: for the Seattle Seahawks, which you guys know that I'm
Speaker 4: also a fan of because I love Seattle, but I
Speaker 4: rack the Dallas Cowboys nation, so I've had my eye
Speaker 4: on the Seattle for a while. Gino Smith carried over
Speaker 4: to Pete Carroll. Pete Carroll, if you guys ever wondered
Speaker 4: whether or not he is tied to his players, well
Speaker 4: just look at their roster. Yeah, car he brought onto
Speaker 4: everybody that he could from Seattle. Tyler Lockett's now there.
Speaker 4: Adams is now that linebacker, exact linebacker as an outside linebacker,
Speaker 4: sam linebacker to be exact. And then also he has
Speaker 4: Gino Smith, who's his quarterback, getting paid forty plus them
Speaker 4: things to throw eleven touchdowns and twelve interceptions on the year.
Speaker 1: Yeah yo.
Speaker 4: One of two quarterbacks in the NFL that has more
Speaker 4: interceptions than touchdowns. The other one is a rookie first
Speaker 4: round pick first overall, picking Cam Mood out of Tennessee.
Speaker 8: Are you saying you don't like?
Speaker 1: I don't care what he's.
Speaker 4: Doing over there as long as he continues it against
Speaker 4: the Cowboys this week. Their offense in terms of what
Speaker 4: do they do, Okay, this is a twelve personnel team.
Speaker 4: Those that don't know what twelve personnel is as one
Speaker 4: running back two tight ends. Why do they'd like to
Speaker 4: run twelve personnel, Well, they don't have a ton of
Speaker 4: receivers and they have invested a substantial amount into their
Speaker 4: tight ends.
Speaker 1: They don't say yeah, just a little bit. They have
Speaker 1: two tight ends. They have a block and tight end
Speaker 1: by the name of Michael Meyer.
Speaker 4: You see what I did thereoween first off a Halloween
Speaker 4: and then they have another tight end that you guys
Speaker 4: may have heard of.
Speaker 3: Rock Yeah, Brock Brock browers different than Hoffman. He's a dude.
Speaker 1: He's a dude.
Speaker 9: He is.
Speaker 4: He's one of two dudes that they have on offense,
Speaker 4: one of two dudes that they have on offense.
Speaker 1: However, he's really the only dude that's shown up this
Speaker 1: year on a consistent basis.
Speaker 8: He's a dog man.
Speaker 4: He's a freaking dog Why do they run twelve personnel
Speaker 4: outside of their fact that they've made their investments there.
Speaker 4: If you run twelve personnel, typically this is how it goes. Okay,
Speaker 4: defensive coordinator watches the personnel group and that comes in
Speaker 4: for the offense. The defensive coordinator then matches up his
Speaker 4: personnel according to the personnel of the offense. So if
Speaker 4: you bring two tight ends in game, he says, it's
Speaker 4: base base base and your base defense then matches up. Typically,
Speaker 4: most defenses is like a four to three. Okay, Dallas,
Speaker 4: we don't know what they might do. Matt Eberflus has
Speaker 4: changed up his schemes. I would assume five down. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he's got so I would assume that he would go
Speaker 4: four too, you know, I don't know, Yeah, fourty five.
Speaker 4: I think that's probably what he'll end up doing. Because
Speaker 4: you can't treat brock Bauers as a typical tight end.
Speaker 4: Brock Bowers is physical like a tight end. He's the
Speaker 4: size of a tight end. He runs routes like a
Speaker 4: freaking like a receiver. He's a mismatch versus base defense.
Speaker 4: That's the reason why.
Speaker 1: They do it.
Speaker 4: Linebackers can't guard him, period. Ninety eight percent of the
Speaker 4: titles of his league can't guard him. Maybe ninety nine
Speaker 4: point five.
Speaker 1: But that's what he does. Okay.
Speaker 4: These guys run a West Coast style offense, meaning a
Speaker 4: lot of bunch sets, a lot of condensed sets, a
Speaker 4: lot of switch releases. They're going to force you to
Speaker 4: communicate in terms of who is coming into my zone.
Speaker 4: If you're playing zone defense, right, a lot of switching
Speaker 4: at the line of scrimmage, so in and in, out,
Speaker 4: out out in my mind, your george, yours, whatever it
Speaker 4: might be. If you're playing man de man, they're going
Speaker 4: to try to cross you up right now. They're trying
Speaker 4: to run these legal pick plays right where I am
Speaker 4: playing man to man. I'm following my guy, all right,
Speaker 4: Kyle's following his guy, and you guys decided to switch.
Speaker 4: Now we're running into each other right accidentally, so they run.
Speaker 4: That causes problems in Manda, man, they're always going to
Speaker 4: run somebody at low, medium high. They they got rid
Speaker 4: of their their their deep threat. He got traded away.
Speaker 4: Remind me the name.
Speaker 1: Sorry Jacoby talking about Jacob Jacoby. Myus is gone. That
Speaker 1: was there. There was a deep threat. He's gone, so
Speaker 1: they don't. Yeah. Sorry.
Speaker 4: Tyler Lockett is kind of their guy in that regard now,
Speaker 4: But Tyler Lockett, Tyler Locket is a little bit older now,
Speaker 4: so he doesn't have as much juice as he once did.
Speaker 4: So their offense is struggling in that regard. Ashton Gent okay,
Speaker 4: let's talk about Ashton genty.
Speaker 1: He is a dude.
Speaker 4: We all know that he's a dude, but in this
Speaker 4: particular system how they run their offense, he's not a dude.
Speaker 1: He's just another guy in this offense.
Speaker 4: No disrespect to him or his capabilities, but they're based
Speaker 4: upon the blocking scheme that they have for him. He's
Speaker 4: not getting the running rushing lands that he's accustomed to having,
Speaker 4: and you'd argue.
Speaker 8: The offense is not necessarily fitting to his strengths selfish right,
Speaker 8: not at all. And they're running.
Speaker 4: They're running their offensive line. The reason why I'm excited
Speaker 4: for our new defensive line is because this offensive line
Speaker 4: doesn't do a lot of movement. This offensive line, more
Speaker 4: so than any other team we face, is a lineup,
Speaker 4: and we're just gonna go straight a lineup. Whoever's over me,
Speaker 4: I'm blocking them in past game. They're not doing They're
Speaker 4: not pulling, they're not trapping, they're not doing any of
Speaker 4: those things. The people who are doing all the movement
Speaker 4: are their tight ends. Michael Meyer. Michael Meyer is eighty seventy.
Speaker 4: He's going to line up in a wing set. He's
Speaker 4: the guy that tries to trap block. He's the guy
Speaker 4: that tries to pull around. He's the guy that tries
Speaker 4: to work around and up to the next level. So
Speaker 4: if you want to track anybody, you're not tracking lineman,
Speaker 4: you're tracking the tight end. He's the one that's giving
Speaker 4: you the indication as to where the play might be going.
Speaker 4: The offensive linemen are literally coming off the ball and
Speaker 4: whoever's over them, they're blocking them.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: They do have combo blocks occasionally where two offensive linemen
Speaker 4: are working with one defensive player, but it's not great.
Speaker 4: Their pad levels bad. They're straight up and vertical. When
Speaker 4: you watch these games, defensive lines are literally pushing their
Speaker 4: guys into the backfield. Ashton Genty has nowhere to go. Now,
Speaker 4: that's no indication on his capabilities. That's an indication on
Speaker 4: how he is in this system and how he's being utilized.
Speaker 4: So don't mix this up. If he breaks out for
Speaker 4: a couple he's still ashing Genty. He's just not what
Speaker 4: he was in this system. Okay, So that's what it is.
Speaker 4: Their running game is slim to none because of their
Speaker 4: blocking scheme. They're passing game. You should be able to
Speaker 4: push these guys into the back into the freaking lap
Speaker 4: of Geno Smith. Their route tree is honestly, not bad, don't.
Speaker 4: I don't dislike their scheme. I just seem that they're
Speaker 4: running too many deep routes and they're not They don't
Speaker 4: have the time to push the ball down the field.
Speaker 1: You have to find a way to communicate.
Speaker 4: For a lot of the crossing routes across the middle
Speaker 4: of the field, there's always somebody going across the formation,
Speaker 4: which has caused Dallas Defense some problems in the past.
Speaker 4: So we have to be able to communicate those crossers.
Speaker 4: You have to be able to find a way to
Speaker 4: disrupt Brock Bowers at the line of scrimmage. He is
Speaker 4: a specialist at the line of scrimmage in terms of
Speaker 4: getting clean releases.
Speaker 1: Go up there and slap them.
Speaker 2: Who who is tabbing with that? Who on this Cowboys?
Speaker 2: Not one person tabbing with not one person Brock and
Speaker 2: trying to knock him off. It's one guy per point
Speaker 2: listening the double double Brock's.
Speaker 8: That's what I'm saying, is there is there one weapon
Speaker 8: double Brock I'm putting.
Speaker 4: I'm putting one of my alignment. I'm shifting my line
Speaker 4: to brock Bowers. That's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not. I'm not a defensive coordinator. But
Speaker 4: if I'm playing Madden, I'm shifting my d line over
Speaker 4: to brock Bowers. I'm gonna put my my defensive end,
Speaker 4: whether that's going to be OsO Digizua or whether it's
Speaker 4: Donovan Azaraku, whoever it might be, Solomon Thomas. I would
Speaker 4: go big, I would go heavy.
Speaker 2: And there's those that are thinking, oh, but the two
Speaker 2: of those three guys are defensive tackles with a five
Speaker 2: man front.
Speaker 4: It could be anybody with a four man front, even
Speaker 4: for Osa and Solomon could be my dns in this
Speaker 4: fore man front.
Speaker 1: Very much so, period point blank.
Speaker 3: In this week, especially with Clark and.
Speaker 4: Quinn Williams personally, Quinn Williams as my five technique or
Speaker 4: my three technique, I'm putting Kinny Clark as my one technique,
Speaker 4: and I'm putting Osa and Solomon to be my disruptor.
Speaker 4: Whoever whichever side brock Bowers goes, if he wants to
Speaker 4: attach himself to the line of scrimmage, jam him up,
Speaker 4: come off and hit him in his chest cavity, and
Speaker 4: then I'm gonna have a linebacker sitting there waiting for her.
Speaker 1: Jam him up, even more at the next level.
Speaker 3: I'm not of a NASCAR package. I am not all
Speaker 3: edge rusher, open front. The opposite of that. This is like,
Speaker 3: this is the dumpy package.
Speaker 1: That's what this is. Absolutely listen is to twisted metal. Listen.
Speaker 4: I want brock Bowers by the by the second quarter,
Speaker 4: battered and bruised and not getting past five yards. I
Speaker 4: want him stumbling and bumbling beyond the five yard point
Speaker 4: because he's just gotten hit by every which way direction.
Speaker 1: That's what I want.
Speaker 4: I want him doing Chris Tucker and rush hour two hit.
Speaker 4: That's what I need this week. So I know people
Speaker 4: are like, oh, there's not gonna be any pass rush.
Speaker 4: You can pass rush internally against this team. You don't
Speaker 4: need pass rushers. Go big against these guys. That's my wish.
Speaker 4: I know people want to see as a Roku and
Speaker 4: they want to see you know who else we got
Speaker 4: out Williams.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got a lot of pass rushers. Not this week,
Speaker 1: not this week.
Speaker 4: Jadavion could do it, James, he doesn't. Yeah, James Hewson,
Speaker 4: I like Jadavion in this rotation as well. But big,
Speaker 4: go big and be a disruptor. That brought Boarers. But
Speaker 4: you know what, they're gonna do. Then they're gonna they're
Speaker 4: gonna detach him and line them up on the outside. Correct, press,
Speaker 4: come up and press. I don't care if he's in
Speaker 4: a bunch set press. Put your hands on him. And
Speaker 4: then when he gets to five yards, slap him again.
Speaker 4: Like you can't allow him to have free releases. You
Speaker 4: can't shadow him at the line of scrimmage. It doesn't
Speaker 4: matter how quick you are, doesn't matter how fast you are,
Speaker 4: he will he will run by you, or he'll just
Speaker 4: big boy you in the middle, in the middle of
Speaker 4: a key and just and just post up. So brock Bowers,
Speaker 4: brock Bowers, brock Bowers without him, this this team, you
Speaker 4: should be able to handle.
Speaker 8: Now quickly though, because brock Bowers is such a weapon
Speaker 8: for them, And you're talking about asking gent the one
Speaker 8: alarming stat with I mean, at least alarming for Vegas
Speaker 8: when I was looking at it. Uh, they have scored
Speaker 8: a collective one hundred and thirty nine points, good enough
Speaker 8: for thirty first in the league. There are thirty two
Speaker 8: NFL teams.
Speaker 3: Yep, I like those words.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't seem great.
Speaker 8: So as much as you could quarterback play obviously and
Speaker 8: as much as you should be afraid of those weapons.
Speaker 8: These guys don't score a lot of points in basically
Speaker 8: every offensive category. The Dallas Cowboys haven't beat.
Speaker 2: Can I ask you a question, though, yes, sir, on
Speaker 2: the flip side of that, where do the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Rank in terms of points allowed this year?
Speaker 1: Your jerk, I'm just asking coming and he's right. I'm
Speaker 1: just and that's exactly. It's fair bad on bad.
Speaker 3: It's fair until further notice it is bad on bad.
Speaker 2: And I see somebody that's like tongue in cheek in
Speaker 2: the comments, or like Kyle probably thinks Gino's going to
Speaker 2: dice up this defense. To be fair, everybody, everybody has
Speaker 2: diced up the defense to a certain extent this year,
Speaker 2: except for maybe Jalen Hurts in Week one and definitely
Speaker 2: not justin Fields in Week five.
Speaker 3: Those are really the only two exception.
Speaker 2: Exactly like Jacoby Brissette played like he was a three
Speaker 2: time pro bowler.
Speaker 8: Wait, that wasn't Kurt Warner out there.
Speaker 1: It was I told everybody that we do want to
Speaker 1: Conler Murray instead of exactly.
Speaker 2: And he played very well now and then he gets
Speaker 2: destroyed by Seattle one week later.
Speaker 1: Audust so that's defense.
Speaker 3: They're nasty, So I don't believe Gino should dice up
Speaker 3: the defense.
Speaker 2: But until further notice, and I know they've made the additions,
Speaker 2: there's still a lot of conversation to be had about
Speaker 2: how much of a change and how much of an
Speaker 2: impact are we going to see. You've heard a couple
Speaker 2: of things there from Isaiah Patt. I'm interested to see
Speaker 2: what you think. How many times in this game are
Speaker 2: we going to look down and say that's a different defense.
Speaker 2: Is it going to be half the snaps? Is it
Speaker 2: going to be twenty five percent of the snaps? One
Speaker 2: hundred percent of the snaps? Which is what the hope
Speaker 2: is for everybody I think in this room is that
Speaker 2: I hope it's a completely different look. But in week
Speaker 2: one with these new additions, it's kind of unrealistic to
Speaker 2: think that it's going to be off the.
Speaker 6: Charts between the new editions and the you know, someone
Speaker 6: like Demarvey and Overshow who.
Speaker 3: Come turning his first game limited snaps probably.
Speaker 6: Snaps I'd say twenty five percent of the time, So
Speaker 6: one fourth of the time you will look down at
Speaker 6: the defense and you'll say, holy crap. But then the
Speaker 6: other three quarters you're looking at them and you'll probably
Speaker 6: say it looks like, yeah, it's like you let me,
Speaker 6: let me break it down this way.
Speaker 1: Fifty percent of the.
Speaker 6: Time, you'll probably see as these guys acclimate right, you'll
Speaker 6: probably see the same defense you saw over the first
Speaker 6: nine games. Twenty five percent of the time you'll see
Speaker 6: flashes where it's just like, okay, almost almost. I saw
Speaker 6: where you were going with that. That almost worked. I
Speaker 6: saw the play call. I like the play call execution.
Speaker 6: Wasn't there tweaking a little bit? And then twenty five
Speaker 6: percent of the time you'll be like, there it is.
Speaker 6: That's that's that's why you went and got Quinn Williams.
Speaker 6: That's why you want and got Logan Wilson. That's why
Speaker 6: we believe that Logan Wilson plus to Marvey on Overshan
Speaker 6: can be a problem.
Speaker 1: But that fifty.
Speaker 6: For me, the concern is I need to see and
Speaker 6: we'll see it with Quinn Williams. We'll see how it goes.
Speaker 6: I need to see a consistent pass rush that gets
Speaker 6: home because if you do not, if you do not,
Speaker 6: especially panic Geno Smith, I'm telling you it doesn't matter
Speaker 6: if you press Brock Bowers. It doesn't matter if you
Speaker 6: slap him in the helmet. After you finish pressing brock Bowers,
Speaker 6: he will get open. He is one of the more
Speaker 6: physical tight ends in the league. He has some of
Speaker 6: the best hands in the league. He's one of the
Speaker 6: best route running tight ends in the league. He is
Speaker 6: an absolute say.
Speaker 3: A double So no, dogs, you said it, I can
Speaker 3: said you can't.
Speaker 1: There you go. I'm proud of myself. Look like I've
Speaker 1: been frightening.
Speaker 6: But all jokes aside, all bias aside, brock Bowers is
Speaker 6: a problem.
Speaker 1: He is the problem.
Speaker 6: So one of the best ways is, like Isaiah said,
Speaker 6: you're gonna have to beat him up.
Speaker 1: But just no, he's he's not. So you can take that.
Speaker 6: He can, he can take it, and he can dish
Speaker 6: it out. Okay, So while you're trying to get physical
Speaker 6: with him, the goal is to disrupt his timing so
Speaker 6: that the pass rush hopefully can push the pocket and
Speaker 6: get to Geno Smith. But if they can't get the
Speaker 6: Geno Smith, Brock is going to get his. And if
Speaker 6: Brock starts starts getting his against the secondary that's trying
Speaker 6: to figure themselves out, and and a safety unit that's
Speaker 6: in dire straits. As far as depth is concerned, it's
Speaker 6: going to be a longer day than you think it.
Speaker 8: That's why I think their offensive line is in for
Speaker 8: a Yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Hope so bold prediction. Logan Wilson gets a pick wow
Speaker 1: in coverage, that's bowl. But I like it.
Speaker 3: He'll get no, that's bold.
Speaker 8: But like for for Dallas Cowboys linebacker, I have an interception.
Speaker 3: That that's that's a bowl.
Speaker 1: I just answered the question.
Speaker 8: But it's been how long? How long that been?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 2: So that's against the passing game. We've talked a lot
Speaker 2: about Geno Smith, brock Bauers and company. They do have
Speaker 2: a rookie running back who we talked a lot about
Speaker 2: in the offseason. His name's Ashton Gent. He played his

Speaker 3: Glad you're with us here on talking Collays for being here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we appreciate you, Kyle, thank you, thank you for
Speaker 2: being here, Josh for being a gracious host.
Speaker 3: Thanks man.
Speaker 8: I'm talking cowboys and Dallas Cowboys every day.
Speaker 3: All right, here we go.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna read off this stat line from Ashton genty
Speaker 2: this year, one hundred and forty three carries giving him
Speaker 2: the rock. Yeah, one three, he's got five hundred forty
Speaker 2: seven yards. Anybody would like to take a crack at
Speaker 2: the yards per average, yards per carry average.
Speaker 1: There three and a half.
Speaker 3: It is three point eight, so real close, very nice,
Speaker 3: three point eight. He does have a long enough sixty four.
Speaker 2: This year it was a touchdown four touchdowns for Ashton Denty.
Speaker 2: As we do get into talking about him real quickly
Speaker 2: before we gets a science lab or is he a
Speaker 2: part of Science Lab? Is? Oh good segue, Let's pass
Speaker 2: it over to mister Patrick knows well, let's do it.
Speaker 1: Yes, science all right, So this is.
Speaker 6: Lab code, by the way, this is lab coat, absolutely
Speaker 6: so I will say this, this week's lab Code is
Speaker 6: a little bit unique in that it's not going to
Speaker 6: be tied to the topic of Science Lab. When Science
Speaker 6: Lab drops on the dot com later today, make sure
Speaker 6: you check it out. That'll be a separate thing. It's
Speaker 6: more of a memorialization of Marshawn and speaking to mental health,
Speaker 6: and I'll drop a couple other things in there as
Speaker 6: way cool. But for the football aspect of it, lab Coat.
Speaker 6: I wanted to see just how much Ashton Genty is
Speaker 6: is struggling, you know, So you go back and you
Speaker 6: look at the film, because we watch film, we do,
Speaker 6: so everything that Isaiah is saying about Ashton Genty is
Speaker 6: one hundred percent correct. It is not the capability. It
Speaker 6: is not something where oh, well he was doing all
Speaker 6: of this and see look this is why the cowboy.
Speaker 6: Now Ashton genty is still very dangerous. But the reason
Speaker 6: he's struggling is because his offensive.
Speaker 1: Line is just so bad. No, no, no, you gotta
Speaker 1: go an.
Speaker 6: How bad are they Well, we know that they're one
Speaker 6: of the worst in the league. But statistically this is
Speaker 6: per next Gen stats, this season, Ashton Gent has been
Speaker 6: stuffed for a loss or no gain on almost twenty
Speaker 6: nine percent of Russia is sane almost twenty nine percent.
Speaker 1: So just run up a little bit.
Speaker 6: Almost one third of his rush attempts he's been stuffed
Speaker 6: for no gain or loss.
Speaker 3: And you're not just running behind the line of scrimmage
Speaker 3: and falling down.
Speaker 1: That dive dodge, ducking dodge And watched that movie earlier
Speaker 1: this week.
Speaker 6: So that means that someone who doesn't have the capability
Speaker 6: of Ashton Gent would actually be much worse than this.
Speaker 6: Like as bad as that is, now you're asking, okay,
Speaker 6: well you hear me say, nearly one third, Well, how
Speaker 6: bad is that?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 6: See, it's the second highest mark among running backs who
Speaker 6: have at least fifty cares.
Speaker 1: The second highest mark in the entire league.
Speaker 3: I'm curious as to who would be higher.
Speaker 1: That's a good question.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you who it ain't.
Speaker 1: I don't believe in Javonte.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there it is, so they can't see it on
Speaker 3: there but the lights.
Speaker 6: So I bring up this Ashton genty point because I
Speaker 6: knew that one of the primary conversations today would be
Speaker 6: Brock Bowers.
Speaker 1: As it should be.
Speaker 6: He is the weapon, but the offensive line is so
Speaker 6: poor with the Raiders that I don't want to say
Speaker 6: you can overlook Ashton Gent, but I think that problem
Speaker 6: resolves itself because his ability is deleted by his own
Speaker 6: offensive line. So anyone who's coming into this game and
Speaker 6: they're wondering if the Cowboys, if Aston Gent will suddenly
Speaker 6: have a career day against the Cowboys, Anything's possible. But
Speaker 6: I would say even before the acquisition of Quinn Williams,
Speaker 6: this is what Ashton genty was going to struggle with,
Speaker 6: is getting past the line of scrimmage. Now you add
Speaker 6: Quinny Williams alongside. Can you clay how many weeks has
Speaker 6: he been off?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Double buy Fresh Meet.
Speaker 6: Get you, and then of course the Cowboys are going
Speaker 6: to start running more five man fronts, so again the
Speaker 6: run defense versus this offensive line for the Raiders. It's
Speaker 6: like Josh said, I think the offensive line for the
Speaker 6: Raiders are in for a long day, which means Ashton
Speaker 6: Genty is in for a long day, which just circles
Speaker 6: us back to brock Boers brock Bowers.
Speaker 2: You know, it's kind of funny when you think about it,
Speaker 2: like how much Ashton Genty was tied with Dallas just
Speaker 2: because of his is upbringing in Frisco and the way
Speaker 2: that he played at Frisco Lone Star High School down
Speaker 2: the road, and then throughout the entire draft process, Dallas
Speaker 2: needs a running back.
Speaker 3: They're looking to get at a running back.
Speaker 2: They have an early first round pick, but he just
Speaker 2: ends up skyrocketing up these draft boards.
Speaker 3: But he talked about it multiple times.
Speaker 2: I'd love to be a cowboy, I'd love to play there,
Speaker 2: I'd love to be there, and this, that and the other,
Speaker 2: and you know, when he doesn't get picked by them,
Speaker 2: he ends up going to the Vegas Raiders at six overall.
Speaker 2: He's probably like, okay, sweet, Like I've got the six
Speaker 2: overall spot. I'm one of the highest paid running backs
Speaker 2: in the league by automatic, automatically rapt spot and he's
Speaker 2: cool with that. He's probably looking on the schedule like, man,
Speaker 2: when can I get back at the Cowboys a little
Speaker 2: bit here? And as he's doing so, he's like, man,
Speaker 2: they have the worst rush defense and football playing.
Speaker 8: Very well coming out party.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just like, man, like, finally to get an
Speaker 2: opportunity to show what I've got.
Speaker 3: And then the Cowboys trade.
Speaker 8: For Quinn Williams and it's like, oh, and now he's
Speaker 8: in a query never mind.
Speaker 1: Like and then.
Speaker 2: I can only imagine the thought process in that building, like,
Speaker 2: don't worry, We've got Dallas in week eleven.
Speaker 3: Don't worry we got Dallas.
Speaker 6: Was like and then and then and then and then
Speaker 6: so Ashton gent is gonna look at his dude, where's
Speaker 6: my block? But but yeah, where's my block? Where's my
Speaker 6: Where's block? Dude's dude's Yeah? So I mean, yes, Floyd,
Speaker 6: you know, I know you don't like me right now,
Speaker 6: but I love you. Floyd makes a great, great point.
Speaker 6: It's like what we're saying and what what what I
Speaker 6: just said in in uh describing lab coat is that
Speaker 6: the Cowboys defensive line pre Quinn Williams.
Speaker 1: I believe still could have done some.
Speaker 6: Work against this Vegas offensive line and keeping Ashton gent
Speaker 6: bottle up at Quinn Williams. And you can bet your
Speaker 6: bottom dollar Ashton gent is going to be met shortly
Speaker 6: after he takes the handoff. Now to that, I will say,
Speaker 6: if Pete Carroll schemes it differently, then you'll probably see
Speaker 6: them trying to get Ashton Genty out in space more
Speaker 6: often than they have, so be prepared for that possible adaptation,
Speaker 6: in which case, when that happens, boy, when that happens.
Speaker 6: And will you really do wish that you had some linebackers.
Speaker 1: That could Oh.
Speaker 6: Well, I'll be damned you do. You got Logan Wilson,
Speaker 6: you got to Maury on over shown. So sorry, Ashton,
Speaker 6: It's just it's probably going to be a bad.
Speaker 1: Day for you, sir.
Speaker 8: It's going to be a delayed premiere for Ashton Gents.
Speaker 8: I don't know, I feel like and this is something
Speaker 8: Isaia alluded to earlier. I think Osa Diggizy was in
Speaker 8: for a big game because this is the first time
Speaker 8: he's really had help since Michael Parsons being traded away
Speaker 8: and him flashing with Micah. Now you have him in
Speaker 8: a situation where the defense or the offense is going
Speaker 8: to be focused in on Quinn Williams. They're gonna be
Speaker 8: focused in on Kenny Clark. Oh, this is going to
Speaker 8: clean up.
Speaker 1: I think it's really interested on how they're going to
Speaker 1: do this defensive line rotation.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's interesting. So the the depth start came out yesterday,
Speaker 8: and I don't know how they kind of play into,
Speaker 8: like how that reflects stuck out. There was a few
Speaker 8: things that stuck out to me. Sam Williams is listed
Speaker 8: as third team behind Donovan Azaraku and Jadavian Clowney.
Speaker 3: That doesn't stick out, Tom d that's truck right.
Speaker 8: That tracks he was not third team before this. I
Speaker 8: mean I will say that you also have Kalen Carson
Speaker 8: at third team behind Doron Bland and Trequezy Bridges interesting
Speaker 8: bridge Bridges, Burriages, and then your starting safeties are Donovan
Speaker 8: Wilson and Marquispell.
Speaker 1: You know, to our depth chart.
Speaker 6: I don't know if it will happen strong safeties. I
Speaker 6: don't know if it will happen. Yeah, you're right, dire Strait,
Speaker 6: I don't know if it will happen. This Monday, we
Speaker 6: talk about the the fifty to fifty chance of Savone
Speaker 6: Revel being inactive, maybe being active, I don't know, probably not,
Speaker 6: but once he is, I'm curious to see how quickly
Speaker 6: he can ascend the depth chart, keeping in mind that
Speaker 6: Trayvon Diggs is going to miss, you know, a few
Speaker 6: more games.
Speaker 8: So one of the things they do in the depth
Speaker 8: chart is they'll sometimes list two players in that first
Speaker 8: first team position. They'll say blank or blank correct and
Speaker 8: currently already after Savone Reveel's been activated or yeah activated
Speaker 8: to the roster Kyrie elam or Savone Revel, Wow, Scott
Speaker 8: shot there, so he's already up. I don't know, something
Speaker 8: to think about.
Speaker 2: I hope we see some of him today in the
Speaker 2: practice session. Let's open to the media. Get to see
Speaker 2: him running around a little bit. See what he's able
Speaker 2: to do on special teams, because I'm sure as a rookie, oh, he.
Speaker 3: Probably out there, start and stop. Yeah, it's going to
Speaker 3: be exactly start, stop, change the direction.
Speaker 1: Well, I just don't know if they're going to put
Speaker 1: him in special teams.
Speaker 6: You think maybe as a means of protecting him, they
Speaker 6: will keep him off of spicially, which.
Speaker 2: Is fair, But he's a rookie. And I feel like
Speaker 2: at some point there's going to be that conversation.
Speaker 1: I completely understand it. I just don't know if they're
Speaker 1: going to expose him to that.
Speaker 2: The thing going back to Osa at Iggy Zoo before
Speaker 2: we wrap up here. I know one of the things
Speaker 2: that I've really knocked him on, and Isaiah's broken this
Speaker 2: down on film a couple of times. He really likes
Speaker 2: to jump around blocks this year for some reason, He's
Speaker 2: just and Kenny Clark's doing his job. He's eating up
Speaker 2: multiple gaps. He's in the middle of the offensive line,
Speaker 2: he's taken multiple blockers away, and then you have Osa
Speaker 2: that's just kind of freelancing off to the side and
Speaker 2: he's getting pushed off his spot and he's out of
Speaker 2: his gap, and that's what allows for a gap or
Speaker 2: a big running gap to form. I think with both
Speaker 2: Williams and Clark, he'll be better at that, Yes, but
Speaker 2: I also don't want.
Speaker 3: Him to continue to freelance.
Speaker 2: I want him to continue to take steps in the
Speaker 2: right direction of gap integrity to allow the linebackers to
Speaker 2: do their job.
Speaker 8: I'd argue because of the the attention that Quentin Williams
Speaker 8: and Kenny Clark will be paid. I think he's not
Speaker 8: going to have to forget it as much. He will
Speaker 8: be able to be on his guy.
Speaker 3: And I hope that's the case. We'll see more from
Speaker 3: Mosa Diggy Zoo coming up with those.
Speaker 8: I hope it opens up for him.
Speaker 3: I really do it didn't it didn't change?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 3: That does it for us?
Speaker 2: Here on Talking Cowboys Today. Tomorrow it's going to be
Speaker 2: a say it with your chest for Riday. We'll have
