And so much for that. 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:33.560 It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:39.879 with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:44.760 It is Thursday, October twenty ninth, two thousand and twenty, 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:48.880 season sixteen, episode number fifty four, and welcome to another 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:51.599 edition of The Break. We are live here at the 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:56.040 FunTown r V tailgate. We're in the Tostitos Championship Plaza 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.560 at Ford Center, and I got my crew with me. Man, 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:02.440 this is awesome because it's the first time since maybe 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:07.000 I don't know, February March, since we've all four been 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.520 in the same room. You probably had a meeting back then, 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:13.920 so it mean yeah, like mid February. Yeah, I'm just 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.679 saying no. So the first time we've been together for 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.199 a show. We don't have to worry about Dave's phone 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.679 doing glitchy type things right now. We can actually have 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:25.560 a good conversation. There's nothing that's that's prohibiting these guys 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:27.360 from mixing it up a little bit. So I'm very 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.440 very excited to have you guys here, and thanks to 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.399 a funtwn RV for setting this all up for us. 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.080 A little bit cool, a little chilly, but we'll make 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.880 it through. Amber you Okay, I'm hanging in there. If 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.200 you hear any teeth chattering, it's amber. So you know, 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.399 we'll make it through. It would be fall and bad weather. 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:47.880 And this is what we got right now. Okay, let's 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.560 do this is actually, this is a really fitting U 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:53.440 sums up where we are in the Cowboys season. That 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:58.120 episode fifty four, h yes is wow. Wow, I didn't 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.320 even get that. Oh my god, oh my god. All right, 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.960 it's gonna be I'm talking about episode fifty four. It 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:06.920 means it's gonna be a Ring of Honor type show. 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:08.760 You know, there's two fifty four is in the Ring 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:12.639 of Honor, Randy White, thanks, mister historian. That's good. Fifty 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:16.520 four you guys are referring to three? Will there be three? Now? 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.959 Darren Hambrick won't get in, so I don't know. Maybe 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.280 what do volunteer? All right, let's let's jump right in. 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.239 We need to talk a little bit about this roster. 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.240 There were a couple moves yesterday Darryl Worley and Don 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.320 Terry Poe obviously Wave we talked about it on the 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.480 show yesterday that was likely going to happen. It did happen, 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.640 but the Cowboys did also or they are expected to 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.520 make another move at quarterback, bringing back an old familiar 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.960 name and Cooper Rush. Question is where does he fit 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:44.520 on the depth chart? Like they got a lot of 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.560 guys that kind of well, two guys that they've added 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:49.280 here in the last couple of weeks. Where does what 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.240 does the depth chart really look like for this team 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:55.160 at quarterback? Nick Well, I'm just hoping we can get 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.240 the term ginger snaps somewhere on the headline of this. 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.359 I mean, if we can get him and Andy Dalton, 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.040 I mean, come on, you have to got it. We'll 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.560 see how it goes Sunday. I mean like that they 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.760 don't have to decide the depth chart. I mean, if 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:14.440 if Nutch goes out there and plays well, I mean, 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.480 you know, he could be the backup when Andy comes back. 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.440 But if not, I mean, this might be have nothing 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.359 to do with Andy Dalton or Denuccie. It might be 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.840 more about Garrett Gilbert and be like, all right, he 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.040 doesn't he's still having a hard time learning the plays. 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.440 This guy knows the plays. I mean, Cooper knows the plays. 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.840 He knows Kellen Moore. So I don't know where he's 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.680 gonna remember it's the practice squad next week, but you know, 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:39.160 he could be the third quarterback moving forward, maybe the second. 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.160 I don't know. Yeah, I think. I mean in a 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.640 perfect world that I think the hope is that neither 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.720 Cooper Rush nor Garrett Gilbert ever needs to play this. 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.600 I think, for one, you just got to cover yourself 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.640 in case Andy takes longer than expected coming back, and 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.000 or if something happens to Ben de Nucci. I mean, 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.800 he's he's going to be running for his life one 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.040 way or the other on Sunday. Like, hopefully he can 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:05.480 stay healthy on Sunday. Cooper Rush gives you insurance. He yeah, 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.840 Mike McCarthy said today, he was like, well, Cooper was 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.920 part of our offseason meetings. I don't think that's completely 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:15.280 true because Cooper Rush was cut on May fourth, right 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.800 after Dalton signed, like so they weren't really into the 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.880 meat of what they were doing. But he was here 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:22.760 last year in the year before that, he knows Kellen 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.960 Moore like, he's probably pretty familiar with the offense, so 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.200 you would think he can pick it up pretty quickly 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.599 if he needs to. But Andy Dalton was in meetings today, 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:33.400 he was in the team meeting yesterday, He's in the 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:37.240 position meetings today. So I would hope he's rounding toward 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.839 being able to play next week if he can't go Sunday. 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.240 So I would hope Cooper Rush doesn't need to do 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.240 anything on the field. But it's just insurance Kenny at 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.120 this point, I mean, with the COVID protocols, when will 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.040 he be able to actually be with the team and 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.760 Canny even be on the field this Sunday on the 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.080 sidelines or anything. He won't be here till next week. 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.680 He's got I think, Nick, you said it's six six tests, 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.600 six negative tests, just to get in the door. That's 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:04.320 the part that's a little curious to me, because by 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.320 the time he would actually be able to come into 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:10.040 the building, I would guess I would hope Andy Dalton 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.320 his back and so you're at like he's even farther 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.480 down the depth chart. Does that seem a little bit 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.200 strange to you guys that they would bring him in 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.160 at this point knowing that he really can't help him 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:22.839 this weekend when you would be without Dalton presumable. Well, 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.800 I here's the thing with the offensive line. You just 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.080 don't know what's going to happen at the quarterback position. 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.760 And I'm sure we're gonna talk about Bendy Nucci in 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.279 a little bit, but I feel bad. I feel bad 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.360 for the guy. He has talent and all that, but 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:41.200 he's so tiny, and I feel bad that if he 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:45.159 gets hit, it's not gonna feel good. And hopefully he 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:49.200 doesn't get hit, but we know that's bound to probably 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.359 happen with the kind of old line we have. But man, 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.520 you just don't know at this point what kind of 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.200 injuries starting from the old line, and then now it's 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:02.560 carrying on to the quarterback position as well. Also, I would, 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.560 I would. I would just say concussions are different. You 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.840 know it's not. There is no specific timeline. No two 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:10.760 concussions are the same. It's a very good sign that 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:14.880 Andy's in meetings, but you know, he might I don't 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:16.440 even know how that works. I've never had a concussion, 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:17.960 but he might not feel as good Monday as he 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:19.520 does right now. I don't know so and he had 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.520 hurt to cover your neither as he. I mean, he's 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.920 never had one, which is you know, that's good and bad. 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:26.520 I think it's good that you know, this's not like 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.359 it apparently keeps getting worse and worse the more that 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:30.960 you have. But he know, he's never had one, so 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.040 he doesn't really know the symptoms and feelings, you know, 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.560 of what he should be, you know, having. But you know, 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.279 I just think it again, I think it comes back 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.280 to Gilbert. I think at the end of the day, 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:43.840 he's probably going to be the third Russia will be 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:47.200 the third quarterback or maybe second, depending on how Ben 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.520 plays in this game. Yeah, and let's not forget like 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.480 when he was laying on the field that that certainly 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:54.600 didn't look very good. It certainly looked like to me 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.600 he was really injured. And so you know, you just 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.800 never know the severity of this concussion. Obviously they don't 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:01.840 really that kind of information, but it certainly didn't look good. 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:05.280 I don't want to cast aspersions because again, all signs 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.200 point toward Andy being fine in the long run. But 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:10.360 I always think about it's a completely different sport. But 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.240 Sidney Crosby once suffered a concussion that knocked him out 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.400 for like half a season, like he could. Yeah he 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:19.880 so hockey, right, yeah, yes, one of the best players 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.560 the last day. Yeah yeah, I got you. H So 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:24.920 you never know, and like I feel like people to 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.520 you know, Zach Martin is coming back one week after 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.160 his most people are like, okay, a concussions one week 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.080 But that's not always true. So it's just something to remember. 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:34.440 All right, let's move on. I want to talk a 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.000 little bit about this Cowboys offense. Remember, in the second segment, 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:38.720 as we do every Thursday, we'll have a Buckey Brooks 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:40.960 calling and he's gonna talk to us about the Cowboys 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.720 offense versus the Philadelphia defense. But I had a few 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:47.160 questions for you guys, particularly about this Philadelphia. I'm sorry 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.760 about this Cowboys offense in the matchup. I want to 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:53.520 start with Ben Denucci. We heard Mike McCarthy talking this 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:55.400 morning about the fact that he's a guy that that 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.720 certainly can run. We've heard coming into the league, we heard, 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:00.760 you know, stories of a guy he seems to be 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.240 a mobile type quarterback, a guy that kind of can 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.240 freelance as necessary and with this offensive line, I would 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.080 think freelancing is something he might have to do. That 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.320 all being said, do you think that he actually gives 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.720 the Cowboys, not factoring in in I know it's gonna 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.720 be weird, but not factoring in his inexperience, do you 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.360 think he actually gives them a little bit of an 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.960 advantage knowing the offensive line isn't as good and he 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.760 has the ability to get off script and be able 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:29.280 to make things happen on the run and on the fly. No, 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.800 I don't. I think if they were racing, like if 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.360 it was a scramble drill and you run in, yes, 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.760 he would be better than Andy Dalton doing that. But 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:41.480 you know, like like the old saying Parcel says, you know, 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.600 knowledge is confidence and confidence lets you play fast. So 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.400 you don't have that knowledge. You don't even know where 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.520 this s blitz is coming from. You haven't seen it before, 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:52.000 you haven't even played big time college football. It's gonna 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.280 be tough for him for him to just be aware 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.520 of things and grasp stuff. So, yes, if if Fletcher 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.280 Cox is running at him, he will probably be able 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.120 to get away from it quicker than Andy Dalton. But 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.679 will he even know that that that guy's coming, you know, 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.319 as early as some of the other guys would. So 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.439 I don't I don't see the advantage. I know what 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.240 you're saying, but I don't see the advantage just because 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.440 he's so raw. I can I can answer that question 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:21.840 with a refreshingly honest anecdote from Mike McCarthy yesterday, Calvin Watkins, 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:23.800 our friend. He covers the team for the Dallas Morning 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.720 He asked, it wasn't a funny Well, we'll get to that. 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.280 He asked Mike McCarthy if it's harder to design a 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.640 game plan for a seventh round rookie who's never played 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.920 in the NFL. And McCarthy literally said, is that supposed 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.040 to be a joke? I can't tell because you're wearing 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.240 a mask, And Calvin was like, no, no, no, I'm 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.720 totally serious. And he was like, of course it's harder, 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.640 and he's like laughing as he said it. So, no, 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.319 it definitely isn't an advantage. But you know, Denucci is 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.400 an athlete, like, he is an athletic guy. He's not 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:57.080 even sneaky athletic like he is athletic, and so maybe 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:01.400 that'll help him. But I can't call it an advantage. 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.760 Well I made reference to it earlier and they've just 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:08.520 called him athletic, and he cann't have athleticism. But in 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:12.680 my eyes, he looks so fragile and skinny, and most 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:17.000 rookies come into their first year, you know, a little skinny, 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.640 and usually they start gaining some muscle as the years 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:23.079 go by. So that's the aspect that scares me. The 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:26.560 confusion that Nick mentioned him kind of hesitating and then 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:30.480 because of that hesitation being tackled, being tacked and then 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:35.600 causing a possible injury. And I guess I'm just panicking 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.880 even more now that we've seen it happen, and then 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.040 we're down to our third quarterback. It's just like you're 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:45.719 more hesitant with everything. So I'm just I am honestly 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.160 scared for him right now. You know. It's interesting. It 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.520 reminds me of what Kellen Moore had to say yesterday 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.640 in his press conference. I think it was yesterday, but 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:54.920 he was saying, you know, one of the big things 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.600 about Ben Denucci is he just got to make sure 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.440 he can call the play. And that's where I was like, Wow, 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.160 that's where we are right now. Can you call the play. 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.520 Can you get the play called in the huddle in 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.120 a way to where everybody knows what they're supposed to 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.640 do and get it right, because, by the way, that's 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.000 the last thing that offensive line needs is more confusion 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.840 in the huddle, right, So that tells you kind of 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:17.440 where they are from the standpoint of experience. I mean, 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.959 this is guy had no preseason action, even like, that's 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:23.079 how hard this will make sure. McCarthy said another question 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:26.000 about that today. Somebody asked, like, are you above putting 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:28.400 a wristband on him? You know, like you typically associate 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.160 that with high school and college football, And McCarthy was like, 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.240 I think we'll be okay because we got the micro 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.200 you know, we got the headsets and the helmets. But 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.880 I'm not above anything if I think it'll work or 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:39.800 whatever you gotta do at this point. All right, let's 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.280 want to another question. Let's assume that and I think 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.440 it's a fair assumption that Zach Martin will be back 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.200 this week. Would you keep the offensive line the same 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:51.320 or and just plug zach In at right guard? And 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.720 if not, what would you do? Let's start with you day. 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.760 Can I answer your question with a question? Sure? Do 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.320 I get Joe Looney too, because I'd love to moves 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:03.760 act to tackle. But who's sure, let's slay to Joe's back. 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:05.719 Let's let's assume Joe is back. I actually tell me 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:06.959 what you would do? You know, I think I might 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.800 do it anyway, honestly, because Connor McGovern seemed to hold 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.079 up okay, like he wasn't he wasn't awful the other 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.160 day and that was a really good front. I'm terrified 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.800 at Fletcher Cox's playing against Connor McGovern, But but are 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:22.800 you more afraid of Terrence Steele up against who has 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.760 killed cowboy quarterbacks in the past. Absolutely, I am so Yeah. 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.800 I think I probably would. Yeah, I mean I think 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.199 it starts with Steele As to being out, I mean 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.600 you have to replace him some one way or another. 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:39.200 He can't be your right tackle anymore. Uh, you know, 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.760 good good story, good player. I mean maybe he will 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:44.559 be a good player at some point, but right now 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.280 he's not there. I would move Zach Martin out there, 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:49.800 from what I've been told, the guy that might not 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:56.720 start this week as Connor Williams. Yeah, wow, if I'm 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.920 just that's just what I've been told that it cut 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:07.640 the mustard could be McGovern or, probably Irving Looney, Beaddish 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:13.160 McGovern and Zack Martin. Don't hold me to that. I'm 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.240 just saying that's they're thinking. Connor Williams. Say a little 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:20.640 more than that, because I'm confused right now. What are 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.559 you confuse about? Yeah? What's do you really think Connors 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.839 played well enough where he shouldn't be above reproach? Here? 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.800 I hold on before she answered, let me just say, 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.280 I don't think I would do that. I wouldn't. I'm 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.319 going with this. Many guys that have seen the Eagles 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.480 are seen an NFL you know, front before, so I 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.480 I think I would do that over Connor McGovern I 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.120 haven't seen enough yet, But I'm just saying it's all 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:47.760 being tossed around right now. If I have Joe Looney back, 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.480 imagining his back already, this is what I would do. 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:55.280 I would put Connor Williams and Sack Martin, moved them 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:59.679 out to tackle, keep Connor McGovern guard and Joe Louney 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:03.480 i ard and then Beatish at center. I think that 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:08.560 at this point, because I feel that maybe that's I 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.199 don't want to say it's gonna start giving you some 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.439 kind of consistency because at this point, I mean injuries, 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.240 you don't know when they're gonna happen, but at least 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.720 you're It would make me feel better at the tackle position. 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:24.320 And a guard like Dave bensh I mean McGovern he's 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:26.840 been doing an okay job, so he seems like he's 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:30.600 gonna hold up Biddish. He seems to be doing fine 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.640 as well. And at least with Joe Looney, we know 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.160 he's a vet, he has the experience and he can 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.440 probably hold up a guard as well. Doing a good 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.240 job there, So I would love I would love to 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.280 go ahead and put Connor Williams at tackle. All right, 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.000 we're gonna check our first break. When we come back. 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:47.920 Bucky Brooks should be joining us.

So I 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:05.200 saw the guys out here for Talking Cowboys this morning. 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.760 I thought the show went really well. They didn't seem 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:09.399 to be as cold as we are, but you know, 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:11.439 I thought it was so funny that that show has 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.520 been going on for several months now. And Heckma and 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.000 Isaiah Stanback had to meet each other. They've never met 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:19.199 exactly right. They were like, yeah, we just met this 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.560 morning for the first time in person. I've argued with you, 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.240 I've called you, you know whatever. But yeah, nice to 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:26.560 meet you. So make sure you joined in these for 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:27.840 the rest of the shows a day and then all 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:31.760 the shows tomorrow. We'll be out here in the outside 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.160 the Ford Center at the Star all right, So let's 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.920 let's jump back in. We've got Bucky Brooks now joining us. 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:41.040 What's up, Bucky, Welcome to the show. We'll start where 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:44.080 we start every week. Give us the strengths and weaknesses 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:50.159 of this Philadelphia defense and the right up front of 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:55.760 the line of scrimmage. Plus your talks, Brandon Graham, very 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:59.520 really good have done. Did bring that rush you with four? 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:02.240 They need to bring others and when they're able to 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:06.480 control the line of scrimmage, they're a handful. I would say. 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:09.840 The weaknesses already at the second level. They're linebackers. They 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:13.280 don't really invest a lot in the linebacker position, and 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:15.240 so if you want to get them, it's all about 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:19.280 attacking their linebackers. But they're backed up by secondary the 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:23.040 various lave that can cover, and so it's a defense 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:24.840 where they have to be able to get it done 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:26.880 with the front four. If they can't get it done 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:29.080 with the front four, they can struggle at times. So 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:35.000 holding up to get good team Bucky, I want to 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:37.359 know we we just in the first time man we 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:40.199 talked about the Cowboys online. I just want to know 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:43.600 more in depth about the pass rush that the Eagles 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:46.399 have right now and how that could be maybe a 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:50.119 problem for the Cowboys. Well, it should be a problem 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:52.400 because they have three guys that can get home Schleussian 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.960 Cox is where it stars. He's an interior pass rusher, 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:59.080 has size, has strength, has power, and when motivated, he 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:02.320 can take over the game by himself. Brandon Graham is 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:05.280 a guy that is an energize with Bunny off the edge. 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:07.760 He's not necessarily a double visit chack artist, but he 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:11.840 is persistent and he's problematic. His ability to play with leverage, 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:15.280 his ability to play with a relentless spirit gives upon 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:17.880 his problems. And because he is what I call an 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:22.840 undersize pass rusher, tall pass protectors can have a problem 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:24.560 because if he gets a funny that he can walk 0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:27.240 it back to the quarterback and then Derek Cornett is 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:30.000 someone who is very sound technically doesn't get a lot 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:34.159 of fanfare, but he also can create problems off the backside. Bucky, 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:39.960 are you warm right now? I am? I am. I'm 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:42.080 the one heart of my own home and perfect. Yeah, 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:44.439 there's one I just want to make sure too far 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:48.760 a question, man, if you were the Eagles defense, would 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:51.840 you have to pull up James Madison tape right now 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:55.120 if you were just to try to scout Jane ben 0:20:55.200 --> 0:21:00.200 de Nucci. Yeah, like you surely have looked at the 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:03.640
