18
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: now they get into a part of the schedule where

19
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: these next two games we're gonna really see what they

20
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: got and what they're working with this season. But certainly

21
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: for what they've done right now. Very good for them

22
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: to be sitting at a spot of three and one.

23
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's start first with stories of the game.

24
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: Let's go around the table. Tell me what you think

25
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: was the story of this game. Nick, let's start with you. Man.

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: I'd like to go third, because there's a lot of stories,

27
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: but I mean, the biggest what's the biggest story of

28
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: the game. The biggest story of the game is that

29
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: the defense is just just annihilating nasty. They're nasty. That's

30
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: what we've We've been talking about all year, and they

31
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: are I mean, I said it in my column. You know,

32
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: I don't think this has been but don't break I mean,

33
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: because they don't even been that much. They they are

34
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: really really good and they are helping this offense, which

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: offense has been okay, but they don't have to be

36
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: that great because that's how good the defense it is.

37
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: I think, to me, the story of this game is

38
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: the fact that you ran the ball for two yards

39
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: to carry and were managed to win this football game,

40
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: you know, and I think that has a lot to do.

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: And you know, you know, you look at the it

42
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: was really nice to see Michael Gallop out there playing

43
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: again and it was really I think they've when you

44
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: look at what Kellen Moore and Mike McCarthy have done

45
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: with this offense, I mean, I think they're doing everything

46
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: they can. If you'd told me that, like I said,

47
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: two yards of carried, that they were going to win

48
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: this game, I would have said, no way, because that

49
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: then that would have put a lot of pressure. But

50
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: like Cooper rushed for the most time, I don't think

51
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: this was Cooper Rush's best games of the victories they've had.

52
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: You know, there were times he was thrown off his

53
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: back foot. I think there were some problems in the

54
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: offensive line. I think Tyler Smith had some problems. I

55
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: know that Beadish had some problems. Heck, even Zach Martin

56
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: had some problems along the way. This was going to

57
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: be a difficult game because of that front. But they

58
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: find a way. They just find a way. I'll see

59
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: a huge play of the game. If this game was

60
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: really really close, that tackle that your kicker made after

61
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: the after the block extra point that saved you two

62
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: points right there. You know, and you're thinking about in

63
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: a game, you're like, man, this thing, it's like it's

64
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 1: going to come down to the end, you know, they're

65
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: gonna maybe make a play. You're gonna have to make

66
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: a play. But you know, give credit to the guys

67
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: like Digs. You know, give a lot of credit to

68
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: the kid coming in and playing in the nickel bland.

69
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: You know, the way he was able to step up.

70
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: It's just Nick's right. It's a It's one of those

71
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: defenses you were kind of like going, yeah, okay, it's

72
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: it's good. It's got a chance. But the way that

73
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: they attack you in different ways. You could see the

74
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: fear in and wins his eyes when he was throwing

75
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: balls in that in that football game. This isn't necessarily

76
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: the story of the game, but I think that some

77
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: credit should be given to Brent Moher and what he's

78
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: been doing so far, because he's been keeping in games

79
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: as well being able to it's gone to the point

80
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: where now you're not necessarily holding your breath every time

81
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: he's about to make a kick. So to this point,

82
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: he's done a great job. And he keeps you in

83
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: there scoring three points at a time, but it adds

84
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: up and then once the offense is finally able to

85
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: get into the end zone, it adds up points for them.

86
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to give credit to him and

87
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: what he's been doing, especially after last year and what

88
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: we went through with the kick kicker position. Yeah, I

89
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: think finally the Cowboys have a kicker that you don't

90
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: look at every kick, including extra points in one der

91
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: are they gonna make this? Like you're getting comfortable. I

92
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: know I'm getting comfortable. And the longer it is more comfortable,

93
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: I seemed to get like, Oh, yeah, he's gonna kick

94
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: this one. He's gonna make this one. But yeah, it's

95
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: a it's a really good situation. Brian, going back to

96
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: what you said, I thought it was interesting because actually,

97
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: you know, you grew up in obviously in football and

98
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: from nineteenth and being a guy Nick, all of us

99
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: kind of other than Amber, like you didn't grow up

100
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: watching football, but from the time you grew up watch football,

101
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: you always hear there are two things you gotta do

102
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: in every in every game, you gotta run the ball,

103
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: and you got to stop the run. Yeah, and the

104
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys didn't either. Like the Cowboys in this game, they

105
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: they only average two yards of carry, as you said,

106
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: they allowed the Washington Commanders to average five point three

107
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: yards per carry, and they still won by double digits.

108
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: That to me is where I look at this game

109
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: and I'm like, they're winning games that they that You

110
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: would look at the numbers and you'd be like, how

111
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: did they win a game like that? Yeah, in a

112
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: in a situation where you would think that's what teams

113
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: need to be able to do against them. You gotta

114
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: be able to run the ball because you're not gonna

115
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: have much time to throw. And somehow even trying to

116
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: run the ball and running the ball as effectively as

117
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: Washington did, they still couldn't get more than ten points. Yeah,

118
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: and I think that they always talk about Bill Parcells

119
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: would say the hidden yards Washington's penalties killed them. Those

120
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: were some huge, huge calls in that game because that

121
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: made up for the lack of what your running game was.

122
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: I mean, they figured out, you know, especially in that

123
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: second half, that you know what it's gonna be, okay

124
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: if we max protected sing and throw the ball down

125
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: the field and let them get tangled up with a

126
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: cowboy receiver. But every time that the Commanders had a

127
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: negative penalty on offense, it killed a drive for them.

128
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: You know, whether it was a holding penalty, they had

129
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: a thirteen yard run get called back because of a

130
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: holding penalty. So you know, you talk about the turnovers,

131
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, the interceptions they were able to get, and

132
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 1: then the negative plays that because of the hidden yards

133
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: with the penalties for the Commanders, that that more than

134
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: made up for your lack of a running game in

135
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: this one for sure. Yeah. And when you look at though,

136
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: when't they really needed to run? I mean they there

137
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: there was times where they obviously struggle for most of

138
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: the game. But you look at the first drive after

139
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: Washington takes the lead seven to six, and now you're thinking,

140
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: all right, this is gonna be this's gonna be a

141
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: tough one. Because the Cowboys are one dimensional. They come

142
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: out at the seventy five yard driving. Just here here

143
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: are the running plays. Zeke for three, you know, and

144
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: then it's Zeke for two, Zeke for six, Pollard for five,

145
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: Pollard for four, Pollard for nine, Zeke for five. Touchdown.

146
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: So they did run the ball pretty well on that

147
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: drive to to you know, go seventy five yards like that.

148
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: Obviously it wasn't as consistent, but you know that I

149
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: thought that drive was huge because they got in a

150
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: touchdown to gallop and kind of got the momentum back

151
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: on their favorite before halftime. You know, I felt that

152
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: and you mentioned penalties just now, Brian, but I felt

153
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: that this was one game that the penalties were in

154
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys favor this time, and usual, it rarely ever

155
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: happens that way. Whether it's a wrong call or the

156
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: right call, it just disciplined. It usually happens in the

157
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: bad for the Cowboys, it goes against them, and this

158
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: was the one game that watching them like, dang, okay,

159
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: they got saved by that one. Yes, some were the

160
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: right calls, but just regardless, it just worked out in

161
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys favor this time. And it was just a nice

162
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: break in that aspect because we rarely ever get that. Yeah,

163
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: so let's give the Cowboys a little bit of credit

164
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: for some of those because those penalties that that saved

165
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: those interceptions. I mean, what's mugging is that? Okay, sure

166
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: I can go for that. Okay, sorry, yeah, yeah, out

167
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: a word in the press box that Derek was like, no,

168
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: thank you, But they were mugging them up there, you

169
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: know what I mean, they really were, and and and

170
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: winning off the line. That's what Gallup you talked about.

171
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: Gallup really helped you know, Um, those those players, you know,

172
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: and then on the flip side, the Cowboys secondary guys,

173
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: we're covering them. You know. I thought we put Gallup

174
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: as our player of the game, and we did it

175
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: today on the website. Gallup a player of the game.

176
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: But you know, for everything that he did and then

177
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: the penalties he drew. But Trayvon Diggs was amazing. Yeah, yeah,

178
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: that was he really, I can tell you McLaurin is

179
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: pretty good about other corners. Hit don't want anything to

180
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: do with Dicks. Diggs has his number, and he has

181
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: for three games. And and and Anthony Brown's doing pretty good,

182
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: not not great, but as he was. But we talked

183
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: about tackling. I thought they did a nice job when

184
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: they got the ball out quick, they tackled. But I

185
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: mean that interception that Diggs makes, like next time they

186
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: cow always have issues at receiver, you know. I mean

187
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: he's tracking the ball, yeah, I mean he isn't. And

188
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: that's where he's really good. I think that's where he's

189
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: at his best too, because anytime you get him in

190
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: a situation where he can just turn into a receiver. Yeah,

191
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: And and that typically is when he's just running down

192
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: field and he turns finds the ball, he tracks it,

193
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna make that get. Those are the kind of

194
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: plays where I think he's at his very very best.

195
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: And to me, like, I don't know why teams are

196
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: challenging him like nine riots. I wouldn't challenge him like

197
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: that because he's he's gonna have a good shot at

198
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: the ball. Keep challenging. But it works when you when

199
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: you go up against their best receiver, because then, you know,

200
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine the press conference where they're like, well,

201
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: why didn't they get you know, why did you get

202
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: Keenan All on the ball today? Or why didn't you

203
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: get you know, A J. Brown the ball? It's like, well,

204
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: you know Diggs, I mean, no, no offensive coordinator, they

205
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: still got all. They're all arrogant enough. We're like we're

206
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna like our guy. You know, we like our

207
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: guy one on one. I mean, yeah, I'll tell you what.

208
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: And I know I was very critical last week of Gallimore.

209
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: I thought this was one of his almost like he

210
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: heard you, Yeah it was. It was one of those

211
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: games where you know, he played with physicality up front,

212
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: and you know you're kind of saying, okay, and you

213
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: wonder they're they're they're they're doing a decent job of

214
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: playing the run in the middle, but you know, the

215
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: stuff on the edge is going to be a problem

216
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: for them. I mean, they did a much better job

217
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: in the second half defending the run on the edge,

218
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: because all of a sudden, it was like, Okay, bar

219
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: doesn't get blocked, Wilson doesn't get blocked, Diggs doesn't give ground,

220
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: Vanderish doesn't get caught inside. There was there were some

221
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: times where they were they looked like everybody was supposed

222
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: to be where they were supposed to be fit. But

223
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: then you get blocked, you know, and now now the

224
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: balls to the edge and it's a problem. Second half

225
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: did a much better job of getting guys up the

226
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: field and forcing the ball back inside and guys not

227
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: being But Gallimore was a big part of what they

228
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: were doing with the defensive line, the pressure that he

229
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: was able to get the way he was able to

230
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: play the run when the ball was to the inside.

231
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: So you know, I got to be fair about that

232
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: because he was not very good against the Giants on

233
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: Monday night. He was really good against the Commander Shyster.

234
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: I think it's it has to be said too, like

235
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: you know, he's Superman out there. I mean, there's no

236
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: doubt Michael Parsons is a phenomenal player, maybe the best

237
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: player in the NFL and defense. And we'll find out,

238
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, this week with the Rams coup and then

239
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: you know Donald have something to say about that. But

240
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: when you put Michael Parsons on the edge every time,

241
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: I obviously the Washington's like, okay, listen. I mean you're

242
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: a linebacker slash undersized defensive end, and yes you have power,

243
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: but we gotta run at you like that. And and

244
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: he wasn't the best at it. I think they they

245
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: cleaned it up. But you know that's one thing to

246
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: kind of neutralize this is with with Parsons staying on

247
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: the edge so much, and I sent in the second half,

248
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: we saw him rush a little bit more from the

249
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: flip side and the middle, but he stayed on that

250
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: left side and they felt like they were running him.

251
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: You know what I don't know, and I want to

252
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: ask somebody about this is you saw that happen. You

253
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: saw it happened with him, You saw it happened with

254
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: Fouler a couple of times. Yea, they went up field

255
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: and what I don't know is are they coaching these

256
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: guys go ahead and go up. Feel our linebackers are

257
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: gonna feel that gaps the linebackers are getting blocked because

258
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: I saw him, probably the linebackers aren't getting off their block.

259
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: So I don't know if it was that they're asking

260
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: the defensive end to actually hold that edge in which

261
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: is their fault, or they're saying, you guys are going

262
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: to get up, feel our linebackers are gonna fail those

263
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: gaps and the linebackers aren't getting fall here. Yeah, I'll

264
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: tell you what, because there were a couple of times

265
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: it looked like you'd like you're yelling at Vanderish like

266
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: got over there, get over there, get over there. But

267
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: then you're watching like, okay, the the end is getting

268
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: knocked wide, and now you're Vanderis is trying to like

269
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, they're trying to hold the gap to inside

270
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: of him, so he's trying to kind of squeeze it.

271
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: Now the balls bouncing, but you got this big gap

272
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: and you don't have a safety coming down in there too.

273
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: So I mean, so one of the three is not

274
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: Because I was saying, I'm sitting there, I'm sitting there

275
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: like Layton, get over and then I'm like, no, wait

276
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: a minute, he's squeezing. You know, they got the A

277
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: gap taken care of. He's squeezing the b Oh my gosh,

278
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: the end has got kicked way out of the sea.

279
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: So now the space is so much that even if

280
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: Vandrush were to get there, he can't cover. But I'll

281
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: tell you what they're doing to Parsons now that that

282
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: is going to be a problem for him is they're

283
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: cutting him. They're cutting him now and there, and they're

284
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: gonna start and everybody's gonna start going at his knees.

285
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: And because that's what they were doing on those screens

286
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: no matter where he was, if he was the side

287
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: of the screen, immediate cut block and so now not rushing,

288
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: hands down, hands down, protecting his knees. And so that

289
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: was one of those times where I'm gonna I was

290
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: watching the tape, I'm like, I counted three different times

291
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: where sam Cosmi is chopping at his knees and he's

292
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: not rushing or he's not I mean, he's playing off

293
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: the block and then and then redirecting to the ball.

294
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: But it but it, but you could tell he's like

295
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: bro stay away from my knees, of course. And what

296
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: another thing that does too, is that they throw it

297
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: over his head. He's not the tallest guy anyway, so

298
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: now when he's going down, make sure you know his

299
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: hands are down too to protect himself. That's an easy

300
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: throw over. I think I saw that two games in

301
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: a row. I've seen teams kind of throw over him

302
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: like that. But combat, is there anything you can do.

303
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's tough. I mean it's tough because

304
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: you know, we saw what happened to Thibadeau with the

305
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: Giants in the preseason. They did the same thing. They

306
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: chopped Armstrong coming across on a play, same situation. Armstrong

307
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: is like spinning on one leg and you're like, you know,

308
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: like oh look out. But yeah, he'll hurdle him. That's

309
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: what he'll do. Well, it's he'll just jump over there

310
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: to make a play and it'll be the play of

311
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: the week. That's what'll happen. Well it, but it's something

312
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to deal with now because they're gonna

313
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: get on a tape like Okay, how do you slow

314
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: him down? Take the ball at him, but also chop

315
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: him while you're taking the ball at him as well well,

316
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: And did you guys notice him like dealing with something

317
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: not back. He something was off and you could tell

318
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: this was And it wasn't even towards the end of

319
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: the game. It was early second quarter. He was just

320
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: like the snap was gonna happen and he wasn't even

321
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: ready just yet. He just looked like you know when

322
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: you're a little just drained of some sort. He was still.

323
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: I mean he was still, but he just looked like

324
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: juice style for that game. Something was wrong with him.

325
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was more physically rather than

326
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: he just looked tired. And maybe it was that short

327
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: week coming out. But he plays a lot of snaps. Yeah,

328
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: he plays a lot of snaps, you know. I mean

329
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: you talk about those defensive linemen that get the rotate.

330
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: He didn't get the rotate. Yeah, And when they and

331
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: when they and when they don't have him out there,

332
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: we're all like, where is he? Where? Why? Christy give

333
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: me a report? So you know, you're I need to

334
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom now, I mean, like, what's going on? Yeah,

335
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: it's a good time. And one thing I do worry

336
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: about for him is he's getting a lot more attention

337
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: from from offenses. He's getting those double teams, he's getting

338
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: those chips, he's getting like people going at his knees.

339
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: I do wonder if at some point it's going to

340
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: wear him down a little bit and they're gonna the

341
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: cowboys are gonna have to think about how do we

342
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: manage his time so he doesn't get worn down to

343
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: the point because like you said, he's not the biggest guy,

344
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: certainly not to be playing another thing that he needs

345
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: to work on. And this isn't pick on Mica Day

346
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: or anything like that, but he needs to realize that

347
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: that this is successful, like like, And it's a tough

348
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: balance because you want the lion to stay hungry all

349
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: the time. But you know, they're teasing him in the

350
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: locker room because he didn't get a sack, and it's

351
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: almost like, are you is it that big a deal

352
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: to get a sack that he had when he missed? Yeah?

353
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: Are you going to play out of your game now? Like?

354
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: They got to be happy about this. He needs to

355
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: be happy, and I hope he is, but I get

356
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: the sense that even he gets frustrated because he didn't

357
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: get a sack and all that. But the way he's

358
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: sound in the locker room last night, it did make

359
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: me seem like he had perspective. That's like the way

360
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: he was talking was like man our unit, and he

361
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: was talking a lot about the scoring. Yeah, I think

362
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: the way he's looking at it is the right way.

363
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: I hope so. And they playfully teased with him and

364
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: whatever pokes the bear or whatever gets him going, that's fine.

365
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: But like you know, he's a huge part of this.

366
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: He is he creates all of this stuff for the

367
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: other guy. I don't practice him a couple of days

368
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: during the week, maybe a day during the week, I mean,

369
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: whatever day you determine that he could take off and

370
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: just stand there and watch all day and heal up.

371
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: Let me have a few of those days, listen, I

372
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: mean you can, you know, hey, just watch what we're

373
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: trying to do here. But he's so involved in all

374
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: the scheme packages. You know, it's like, Okay, they're gonna

375
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: line him up with Tank on that side too, and

376
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: then Fouler on that. I mean, they're going they create

377
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: things for mismatches. So if he doesn't practice, are they

378
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: able to work on you know, It's it's kind of

379
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: like Amari Cooper. When Amari Cooper didn't practice, do you

380
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: confidently call a play that he doesn't practice, you know,

381
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: I mean, well, Maria is good enough, you should be

382
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: able to run the play. Well, no, that's why you practice.

383
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: So you run the play if it's a combination routes

384
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: and you know, things like that. So you just gotta

385
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: find time for him. You just gotta say, listen, broke

386
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: away from the game today. Just stay away from the

387
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: game because they are they're they're now taking offenses, are

388
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: desperate playing against him. They're desperate to try and do

389
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: anything they can to stop him from reckons shop. All right,

390
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: we're gonna take our first break. We're gonna come back,

391
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: going to dive a little more into the offense. There

392
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: were a couple of different performances we need to talk about.

393
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: We'll bry back Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. Todd thought

394
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: it would be secure to jog and the cheetah Savannah.

395
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought online was reliable.

396
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: And now Todd is trying to be faster than this

397
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. But the

398
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: good news is Todd has at and T five G.

399
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the

400
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: best thing to do is stop running and toss her

401
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: the backpack with the beef stew at and T five

402
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:48,000

Speaker 1: by blockchain dot Com. All right, let's talk about the offense.

442
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush yesterday was fifteen to twenty seven, fifty six

443
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: percent completion rate, two hundred and twenty three yards, two touchdowns,

444
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 1: no interception, to one oh seven point five rating. He

445
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: becomes the first quarterback in club history to win his

446
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: first four games as a starter. Pretty impressive. What was it?

447
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: What do you think is the key to his success

448
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: so far? Well, I mean he's he's taking care of

449
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: the ball. Statistically, he had a couple of interceptions, but

450
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, he doesn't need to be thrown

451
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: off his back foot. I can tell you that he was.

452
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: He did a couple of that. But but I mean,

453
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: he makes smart decisions. And also he's a good deep

454
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: ball thrower. And and I thought that in Brian and

455
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: I talked about this or after the game, is that

456
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: this is where McCarthy comes into play. Yeah, because McCarthy

457
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: studies officials. He knows what crews call, and he threw

458
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: the ball deep a lot knowing that that good things

459
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: were going to happen. Either you catch it. It's not

460
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: fifty fifty that the ball gets down there. It's it's

461
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: more seventy thirty you catch it or PI or whatever.

462
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: Good things happen. He's a good thrower. And not only

463
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: on that stat about the first quarterback in Cowboys history,

464
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: first quarterback in NFL history to have whin his first

465
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: four starts and the quarterback rating him ninety above every time.

466
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, the defense is helping him, but he's also

467
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: making smart decisions where he's having a good quarterback ratings

468
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, it's you know, Nick's right about that.

469
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: I mean, you have to study these officials. You have

470
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: to understand if crews are going to call pis excessively,

471
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: and this was a crew that was going in. You

472
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: knew that this was a This usually was a When

473
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: you look at these officials, there's certain things that you

474
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: can kind of tag them with. And I applaud McCarthy

475
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: and those guys for being able to say, hey, Max protection,

476
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: let's see if these guys can hold up. And once

477
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: they kind of figured out two that Michael Gallup was

478
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: going to be able to have the separation felt comfortable running. Hey,

479
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: by all means, send him on the nine routes, send

480
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: him on the go. See if you get tied up.

481
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: I mean they sent Ceedee Lamb down one time on

482
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: a You know, it was really a good play by

483
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: the corner from the commanders. But that's what you gotta do.

484
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: You got to take some shots down the field, and

485
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: you know you're going to get a thirty eight yard pin.

486
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, a thirty eight yard penalty is just

487
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: as good as a thirty eight yard run. You know,

488
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: as long as they give you the yards and give

489
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: you the fuel position, why not play to that strength.

490
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: So that's where I think Cooper rushed. Those are really good.

491
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: But I was really surprised on the one past row

492
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: in the game that Noah Brown didn't adjust well enough

493
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: on it. You know, I thought maybe that was an

494
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: opportunity for a big play, but just didn't adjust well

495
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: enough to it. But by all means, learn about these

496
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: officials trying to take advantage of the situation. Yeah, some

497
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: of those deep throw I'm watching again, I'm like, beautiful,

498
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: that was beautiful, what a beautiful bass. But credit to

499
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: the line, the old line. I think they've been giving him,

500
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: making him what I'm not gonna say, they're making him

501
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 1: what he is. They're just allowing him to process things

502
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: and make those throws like he's not constantly under pressure,

503
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: He's not constantly having to get outside the pocket and

504
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: run for his life. So again, I think the old

505
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: line has been doing a great job and helping him

506
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: out in being able to carry this team along while

507
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: Dak is out. So yes, I love everything that I've

508
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: been seen with Cooper Rush, but after yesterday it made

509
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: me wonder. I'm hum with what the old line is doing.

510
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: I think Dak would be able. And I don't mean

511
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: to start that whole conversation right now again, but I

512
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: just it makes me wonder and think about you know,

513
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: Dak would be able to play a lot better than

514
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: what we saw that first game of the of the season.

515
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: And I think he would be able to because I

516
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: think a lot of people the comments that you see

517
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: is that, oh, Dak is not going to be able

518
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: to do what Cooper Rush is doing but with yeah,

519
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: which is insane. But I think you plug in Dak

520
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: a healthy Dak full unhealthy with his thumb and everything,

521
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: I think he would be able to give you what

522
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush has been giving you and the help that

523
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore has been able to create for the quarterback position. Yeah,

524
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna this will be a big, big

525
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: test for Cooper Rush this week because I've been told

526
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: it's unrealistic that Dak is going to play this week.

527
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: So look for Cooper Rush to go to as you

528
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: guys load up and go to Southern California. It S

529
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: been a good matchup for him. You know, when we

530
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: get into when we start to talk about the defenses

531
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: and the things that he'll have to do, you know,

532
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to put up some points in this

533
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: football game, I believe. You know, I haven't seen a

534
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: whole lot. We'll see the Rams play tonight against the

535
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, will you know, get an idea about that.

536
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is going to be probably the stiffest

537
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: test that he will have when it comes to he's

538
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: going to have to play in this game because you

539
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 1: are playing against you know, they did a nice job

540
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: against Cincinnati that was a Super Bowl team. Well here's

541
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: the team that won the Super Bowl. So go find

542
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: a way to win this game. But you're gonna get

543
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush this week. It's what you're gonna do, and

544
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: we'll see if he can, if he can pull it off.

545
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: You say that you're gonna get Cooper Rush, like you're

546
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: gonna get like he is what he is this week,

547
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: Like you're gonna no, you're gonna get him to play

548
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: quarterback this week? Oh it's yeah, Dak, Yeah, it's you know,

549
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: a post game I was told he was unrealistic that

550
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: Dak was going to play this week, And that makes

551
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 1: me wonder, you know, unrealistic, Like, no, no chance he's

552
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: gonna play in seven days, so days, like like if

553
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: you're if you're absolutely not on seven days, I mean,

554
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 1: fourteen seems like a stretch. Well, I think the lock

555
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: could happen in fourteen days. Like. The reason why I

556
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: think it's unreally, in my opinion, the reason why I

557
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: think it's unrealistic for this week is because he really

558
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: hasn't practice. He really hasn't been doing much from the

559
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: standpoint of actually throwing the ball. Um. So I think

560
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: though this week, let's say, for example, he does towards

561
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: the end of this week, he's actually out there and

562
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: throwing and they're like yeah, yeah, exactly, and they're like, Okay,

563
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: it's starting to so by then then you give him

564
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: a week of practice next week, ye, then maybe he is.

565
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like, right now, it doesn't sound like

566
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: he's done any of that to this point, so it

567
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: seems unrealistic that he can do I never heard the

568
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: word close. You know, I never heard the word close.

569
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean it was I was asking because I thought

570
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: Jerry in the postgame, did I think he did a

571
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: good job of not really selling it, like you know,

572
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 1: he kind of was very noncammital about it. But you know,

573
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: and you guys live here in this building, you talk

574
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: to people as well. You know. The one thing that

575
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: I was told was like, no, it's it's not a

576
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: realistic situation this week. Because of the things we talked about,

577
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: the practice, the grip strengthen, all those things. I feel

578
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: that had they've been losing, you would be here next week. Yeah,

579
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: you'll be hearing the word close. Do we have time

580
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: to ask a question? Yeah? Sure, I was gonna ask

581
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: because a lot of I feel that a lot of

582
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: the times that we're watching the games, on their offense,

583
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: they get the ball moving, they're moving the moving, then

584
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: they just completely hit a wall as they approached the

585
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: red zone. So what would you point out the biggest

586
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 1: problem as to why that is happening. Well, I'm honestly,

587
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: when you in this game, I mean, you can't run

588
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: the football, like it's even harder to run down there

589
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: in the red zone, So you got to you gotta

590
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: take your deep shots. And that's why it always did.

591
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: That's why I always say first and goal in the ten.

592
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: It's the toughest, toughest to score because deep ball is

593
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: out of the out of the equation obviously, unless you

594
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: want to throw it the rowdy. So I mean, like

595
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: it's right there, you've got to you've got to play

596
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: in We've got to be able to push them back,

597
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 1: and they couldn't push anyone back. So I thought they

598
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: did a pretty good job down in there. I mean,

599
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: but because it's hard to run at the fifty, it's

600
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: definitely hard to run inside the twenty. Yeah, Monday night

601
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: we talked about and Nick brought it up in our

602
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: show on Tuesday, was about how they got against the Giants.

603
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: They got down there and ran the ball what three

604
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: straight time? And they ran it in I think what

605
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: happened the touchdown when you go back and you watch,

606
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: you're all twenty two. The touchdown you're gonna see to

607
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: Gallop was a really good design because what they were

608
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,959
Speaker 1: able to do was and this is where I know

609
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: I've been critical of Kellen Moore because you see guys

610
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: like Sean McVay with the rams. He will get Cooper

611
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: cup on linebackers and you're now you're like you're running

612
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: against a linebacker and down there, and that that's what happened.

613
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: He got Gallop on Holcomb the linebacker by by design,

614
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: by formation, and now all of a sudden, Holcomb's you know,

615
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: inside leverage is you know, great, but outside leverage is terrible.

616
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: And that's where you know, you watch the ball. I mean,

617
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: the route goes inside and then breaks and now you've

618
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: got the quarterback rolling in the pocket and he's able

619
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: to make that throw. You need more of that, you need,

620
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: you know, you talk about running the football and then

621
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: better design of how to get your guys in situations

622
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: where okay, we're gonna spread you out a little bit

623
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: and we're gonna make sure that your linebackers covering our

624
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver and then trying to stay in position to

625
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: do that. More of that would be great in my book.

626
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: You know that that would be the the that would

627
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: be the fix that I saw that he had yesterday. Yeah,

628
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: I'm glad you called that out because we give Kellen

629
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: a lot of flak. I think there a lot of

630
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: people do for not scheming things up to get his

631
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: playmakers in position to make plays. That was a really

632
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: good example of that kind where he did. And another

633
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: one who coming out of the third quarter going into

634
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, I mean they set there, it's basically

635
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: a time out. They come right out of that the

636
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: first play. They schemed it up where Schultz and he

637
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: got to give Schultz credit because he yeh down the

638
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: field right and the scene took the safety with him.

639
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: Guess what one on one to CD lamb. I mean

640
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: that that was obviously called and he got the inside.

641
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: So it was perfectly you got Nick's right there because

642
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: Curl the safety is he's He's so focused on Schultz

643
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: running vertically that it kept it gave enough space to

644
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: allow CD to run and then the corner on their

645
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: side was too wide, so there was that natural scene

646
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: where he was able to throw the ball. Well designed play. Yeah,

647
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: all right, let's talk about the running game. Let's talk

648
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: about Zeke Elliott and Tony Pollard. Yesterday, Zeke was nineteen

649
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: carries for forty nine yards a two point six average.

650
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: Pollard eight carries for six yards point eight average. Why

651
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: didn't the running game work yesterday? Was the biggest problem?

652
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: Jonathan Allen is your biggest problem? J Allen was a

653
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: pain and the what and both those guys were I

654
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: mean that was they were as good as we've seen

655
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: them before. I mean that that was a mean day.

656
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: Yeah did but no, no, he's he'll fit in. He'll

657
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 1: fit in good with that team. I mean, you know

658
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: that that was just an unfortunate thing. Cowboys wanted him,

659
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,959
Speaker 1: but it just that they have injuries and we have injuries.

660
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: You've got to figure out how to how to get

661
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: around it, and you had to try to steal it

662
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: practice squad spot and Washington needed help. Good good move

663
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: for them, But I thought that they just couldn't run

664
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: the ball as well. Because they didn't, they didn't win

665
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: the physical battles um And I think that's kind of

666
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: what what we see with Pollard and Zeke. Yeah, Pollard's

667
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: great on the outside and he can do all that stuff,

668
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: but running him in the middle like that. It's tough

669
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: sledding and we didn't even average a yard. So you know,

670
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: this is why they He'll have better days, I mean

671
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: for sure, and Zeke will too. But this is kind

672
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: of why, you know, the thunder and lightning situation is

673
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: what it is, because you gotta get some tough running.

674
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: I thought Zeke ran okay, but his stats don't really

675
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: look good. They struggled because McGovern was playing in the

676
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: game and coming back from the ends hurt to me.

677
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: He wasn't moving very well, not look good to me.

678
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: He struggled. He struggled with his movement and struggled with

679
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: his power and couldn't sustain anybody. They struggled a little

680
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: bit with with Beyondish at center. Zack Martin actually had

681
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: a couple of them where he was he lost a

682
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: little bit of his uh you know, the you know,

683
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: being able to stick onto his guy. They just couldn't.

684
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: And there was a couple of times too where guys

685
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: like Steele was in good position and the guy went

686
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: backdoor on him and now he's trying to adjust back

687
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: and then there's really no place for the ball to

688
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: cut and then there's the tackle right there. They they

689
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: played it really well. They were. There were time they

690
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: had an eight man box one time and Dallas ran

691
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: it inside and I'm like going, okay, well, Coop, it's

692
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: eight men in the box you've got You're not gonna

693
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: be able to block all these guys, and they still

694
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: ran the ball. That was one of those things where

695
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: I think he would have checked out if he If

696
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: he today, when he gets to watch his film, he's

697
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: gonna go, oh damn, what was I doing. I mean

698
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: it was four down and four behind, and they were

699
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: not gonna let you run the ball in that particular play.

700
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: But again, once you know, you look at Zeke the

701
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: third one, he continues to have the success doing that.

702
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: That to me but also too real quick and I

703
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: know I'm talking a lot here, I'm sorry, But the

704
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: thing about it is they put Farniac in the backfield.

705
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: That's now. Farniac ran a route one time on a play,

706
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: on a play that went to Noah Brown for a

707
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: big catch. He ran a route, but but Ferguson stayed

708
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: in and blocked the tight end, which was hilarious. You

709
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: see Ferguson's like blocking on the end, and then here's

710
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: Farniac running a route like you know, he's like up

711
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: the fuel kind of like that throwing the ball and

712
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: the ball goes over the top. But that's the kind

713
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's crazy. I want to see that. Yeah,

714
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: it's it's it's you can watch to play, but it's

715
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: it's funny to me that that you put the fullback

716
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: in there, and it's it's just a telegraph we're gonna

717
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,719
Speaker 1: run the ball. Yeah we're gonna run. But that one

718
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: time they threw the pass and you know, able to

719
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: make a play out. But it was funny to see.

720
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: I didn't stay in and offensive lineman go out and

721
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: run the route. Peter Peters looked forty a couple of times.

722
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: He looked forty in that game. He sure did, ye

723
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: sure it did. Did. He looked more forty than he

724
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: looked like at nine time pro bowler. But of course

725
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: I know he's playing guard and it's not his position

726
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 1: that he's used to play in. But it was tough,

727
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: It was not It was not the best. I still

728
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 1: wonder how this whole thing's going to shake out. McGovern

729
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: you know healthy, and you know it's just Aaron Donald

730
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: coming up this week, so I think they could figure

731
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: it out figuring the fact that they only gave up

732
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: one sack, because I agree with you guys, I don't

733
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: think the offensive offensive line played particularly well, but they

734
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 1: ended up only giving up one sack. I do think

735
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush, as he's done since he's been in there,

736
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: he's really good at getting the ball out, so I

737
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: think it doesn't expose him as much as maybe you'll

738
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: see from other quarterbacks. But all things being considered, this

739
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: was not a great game for the offen to me.

740
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: To me and the way I see it, to me,

741
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: they played a well game as far as the passing game.

742
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 1: The run game, that was a whole different thing. They

743
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: could not run the ball, and this this is why

744
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: this win makes it that much more impressive to me,

745
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: because sometimes we see when they do not have that

746
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: kind of balance where they can't run the ball, they

747
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: end up losing the game. And for example, at the

748
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: tight ends position, Dalton Schultz did not have a good game.

749
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: He didn't but even then, like he was doing, it

750
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: was not a good day for him. So keeping that

751
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: in mind, and just the very few weapons that Cooper

752
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: Rush and Kellen Moore had to work with last night,

753
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: and they got away with the wind got too touchdowns,

754
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: So to me that that was impressive. And this is

755
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: the only reason why I keep giving the old line

756
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: so much credit is the fact that you didn't see

757
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush just having to run for his life all night.

758
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: They were just giving him time. And yes, Cooper Rush,

759
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: credit to him too. His legs, his feet, he can run,

760
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: he can figure out where to go, So to me,

761
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 1: that's a win in that aspect. I think that we'll

762
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: see how they improve in the running game. But when

763
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: you get away with without the running game working point

764
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: eight average for Tony Pollard, that's pretty embarrassing. Yeah, But

765
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: I think I think the thing to consider here, and

766
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of how they're going I think

767
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: it's how they're gonna play football is you look at

768
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: the total number of carries relative to the sole number

769
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: of passes. They're right there about fifty fifties twenty nine rushes.

770
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: Two of those rushes were rushed and so those are

771
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: probably not called runs. So you look at about twenty

772
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: seven twenty seven, right, you're looking at about a fifty

773
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: fifty split between run pass and by the way, I

774
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: think that's how they think they're gonna have to play

775
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: football right now. Because of the fact that they've got

776
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: such a great defense. I think they look at it

777
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: and say, hey, we need to keep the other team

778
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,919
Speaker 1: off balance, which means it even sometimes, as you say, Brian,

779
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: you might have an eight man box, we're still going

780
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: to run it off because for us, as we saw

781
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: earlier this season, like you don't want to leave your

782
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: defense out there too much, so you have to take

783
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: the time you have to sometimes you have to run

784
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: into bad situations. But the point is you're going to

785
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: run the ball, and we're gonna trust the fact that,

786
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: as I was saying to you Nick in the press box,

787
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: like a punt is not a bad thing with this

788
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: kind of defense. Sometimes you take a few plays, you'll

789
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: take some time off the clock. You punt the ball,

790
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: let your defense do his job. I'll tell you what,

791
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: When you punt the ball to your own twenty eight

792
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: and don't give up points, you got a pretty damn

793
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: good defense, really good, yeah, exactly right. Yeah. And then

794
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: when the putter messes it up. I mean the putter

795
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: has been hit it like fifty two, fifty six, fifty

796
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 1: eight yards. He punts one twenty two, and you're like going,

797
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: this is not good, and then you don't give up points.

798
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: That shows you got a pretty good And they went

799
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: for a field goal. I mean they went for a

800
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: fourth down because they they had to, but still, I

801
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: mean they got down there to the nine good sack

802
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: on third down to push it back forth and fifteen.

803
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's like they said, I mean it's been

804
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: but don't break. But they're not been in a whole

805
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: lot and it's it's really impressive. And you know that's

806
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: what we said after they played Brady and Burrow. It's like, Okay,

807
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: now you get Daniel Jones and you and you get

808
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: wins and they've taken advantage of that. Now it's Stafford

809
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: and Hurts, so you know, yeah, but it steps up.

810
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take our final break. We're gonna

811
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: come back. We're gonna have these guys tell us who

812
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,080

859
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: of the game. Let's go around the table. Everybody give

860
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 1: me one amber. Let's start with you. To me is

861
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup. He's a guy that you know, didn't have

862
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: a training camp. He was out for a really long

863
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: time and he got in here and even though I

864
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: know the kind of talent he has, it is one

865
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: of those things that you always have some kind of

866
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: doubt on how quickly they can be impactful inside in

867
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: the game. And even when he didn't have the ball,

868
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: he was he was drawing penalties, he was helping. That

869
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: way that touched them, to me, was so impressive. And

870
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: the way that Cooper Rush was able to get the

871
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 1: ball to him and he was able to catch it.

872
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: So to me, he was player of the game because

873
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: not only what he did in that game, but what

874
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: he was able to put on film for the next

875
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 1: opponent coming up. He's gonna bring some attention to him

876
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 1: and he's gonna keep making an impact on the offense

877
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,760
Speaker 1: and helping the other guys around him as well durn Bland.

878
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: Like durn Bland found out he was going to start

879
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: five maybe five minutes before they go to warm up.

880
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: They go at, they get back from warm and he

881
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: comes in. They walk in say, you're starting nickel corner today. Oh, okay,

882
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: I guarantee you. Durn Bland did not get a lot

883
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,439
Speaker 1: of work this week playing nickel corner, which Jordan lewis

884
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: out there, and they didn't practice a whole hell of

885
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: a lot either. To be honest, what happened with Jordan

886
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: do we know? I know you're growing? And did it

887
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: happen in pregame? Pre game? So all of a sudden

888
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: they come in they tell the kid he's going to start.

889
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: He did a great job in that football game. That

890
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: is not easy to play that that corner spot, especially

891
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: with the receivers that they have over there at the Commanders.

892
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: And then he gets the interception, great read. They're playing zone.

893
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: He's right where he needs to be. He sees that

894
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,439
Speaker 1: what Carson Wentz is gonna do. He drives on the ball,

895
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,280
Speaker 1: gets in front. You know, the some of the initial

896
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: runs that were run at him in the first half,

897
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: he kind of struggled with a little bit second half.

898
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: He was far better playing in that game. Hats off

899
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: to him, helmet stick or whatever you want to give

900
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: him for how he played in that football game. But

901
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: two got two here us both? Well, Um, you know,

902
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 1: i'd like to say Diggs because I thought Diggs played

903
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: a great game and really kind of shut down their

904
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: best player. But you know, as Brian said, when you

905
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: average two yards to carry, and I mean this thing

906
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 1: is supposed to keep a float here with Cooper Rush

907
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 1: because they got help him out. You gotta run the ball,

908
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: you gotta played good defense. They couldn't run the ball,

909
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: yet they win a game by two scores. My my

910
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: MVP of the game is Cooper Rush. Uh. He's four

911
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: in a row of as a starter three this year

912
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: and he's just kind of finding his rhythm. Offense is

913
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: getting better. But they were really one dimensional and he

914
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: had they had to pass the ball through it and

915
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 1: they were able to do it. So, uh, to me,

916
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: it's it was Cooper Rush. You give us your second?

917
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 1: Well Diggs, I said, Jaker was one that I really

918
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: would like to say Diggs, but and I thought he

919
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: played great, But I it's it's Cooper for me. Yeah,

920
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what dan Quinn does with Donovan

921
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 1: Wilson and Curse both. Yeah, and you know now now

922
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 1: how you yeah, and exactly how do you get these played? Well? Yeah,

923
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: how do you get these guys on the field, especially

924
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: guys that can tackle, you know, and you're gonna need

925
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: that if people are gonna start trying to run the

926
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: ball on you, You're gonna need guys that make plays.

927
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: Wilson's physical, Curse physical. They don't miss Hooker played pretty well, sure,

928
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: says played great. Well, I'll tell you what the one

929
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: play that went down they but we thought him have

930
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,280
Speaker 1: been intercept you each about Wilson. They're playing four across

931
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: at the sticks and the ball's going deep, and who's

932
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: running from the hash you know to get the on

933
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: the cover John McLarin down the field. It's it's Wilson.

934
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: So not only was he just like a physical player down,

935
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: he was a deep player back and made a huge

936
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 1: play in that game. Because your players game my players.

937
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 1: Maher Amber Amber started the show talking about him. He

938
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: had kicks of fifty three, twenty eight, twenty nine. Really,

939
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: if you look at a great tackle in the open field,

940
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: it's absolute points absolutely. And if you look at the

941
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: first quarter of the season, outside of say Michael Parsons,

942
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that you could say that there's any

943
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: player has been more consistent during the first quarter of

944
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: the season and made a difference for this team than

945
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: Brett Maher. He has been really, really good for them.

946
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 1: Has scored a ton of kicks and may kicks that

947
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: are fifty plus, Like we're talking about some really tough

948
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 1: kicks that most kickers in the league would struggle to

949
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 1: have the percentage that he does, and he's been making

950
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: those kicks. I think he has been phenomenal. I think

951
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: it's the first time they had a kickoff return against him.

952
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: He'd had he'd put every ball out of the end

953
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: zone and then they brought one back on him yesterday.

954
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 1: But up until then, through four games, I mean, he's

955
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: been putting every balls into great football. Yeah. I got

956
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: asked this on the radio the day on one of

957
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: five three the fan and I said, the question was,

958
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: is which player has been the most surprising this year?

959
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: I through four games? Is it? Is it Cooper Rush

960
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: Maher or Tyler Smith? And and you know I in

961
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: order or you know I put I put Cooper rush.

962
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: I mean I would I wouldn't expected this, but I

963
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: mean they're all great, great choices there. I mean, all

964
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: three of those guys. Well, you think about what we

965
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 1: were back in Ox and Ard. The thought was watching

966
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: this is going to be a problem this year. It

967
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: is going to be a significant problem. And then when

968
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: they may kind of changes and all that, then you're like, okay,

969
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: we'll kind of back to where we were a couple

970
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 1: of years ago. Like I don't I don't know if

971
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: that's going to be better. But the guy has been fun.

972
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, he's played really good, getting good football.

973
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: We'll see. The thing about it is you bring back

974
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: Maher and you're like, okay, you couldn't scout better. You couldn't.

975
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: You couldn't you. Why do you have to bring back

976
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: somebody that we've already seen get sent away. Yeah, And

977
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: sometimes you send them away and they come back and

978
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 1: they work out better. But that was the one where

979
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: I was like, I was proud of them for making

980
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: the decision that the kicking game was not good enough.

981
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: They could have just sat there and ranting with those

982
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 1: guys and been Okay, hey, we're not weirdly like our

983
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: guys Yeah, but to bring back Maher and have him

984
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: to have success, you have to give him credit for that.

985
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: All right, appreciate you guys, Johnis. We'll back tomorrow. We'll
