00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: Welcome to the latest edition of The Break.

16
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 8: We are alive from the SWBC Mortgage studios at the

17
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 8: starts our job today to get you ready for.

18
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 2: Cowboys versus Buffalo Bills.

19
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 8: We're gonna talk about the Bills offense today and we'll

20
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 8: actually start just getting kind of a big picture look

21
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 8: at this team. This is one of the most puzzling

22
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 8: teams I think there are in the NFL. But before

23
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 8: we do that, let's start off with an injury. The

24
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 8: big injury for the Cowboys, the only real injury that

25
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 8: the Cowboys are worried at this point about.

26
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: Jonathan Hankins.

27
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 8: He had a high ankle sprain, is what I think

28
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 8: it was diagnosed Das what do we know at this point,

29
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 8: and how long should they expect him to be out?

30
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 5: Well, as you stated, it is a high ankle sprain,

31
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 5: but I'm told that it's of the mild variety, not

32
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 5: a ton of concern. As we have this conversation, there's

33
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 5: no dialogue about potentially putting him on injured reserve, which

34
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 5: would block him out for at least four weeks. So

35
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 5: it sounds like he could be back far before then,

36
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 5: but we're want to take it on a day by day,

37
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 5: which is what it looks like. I think they'll revisit

38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 5: to see if he will be available next week against

39
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 5: the Miami Dolphins, but there's a good likelihood he won't

40
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 5: take the field this week against the Buffalo Bills.

41
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 6: But again, doesn't sound like it's worst case scenario.

42
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 5: And as we have this conversation Barn, any changes between

43
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 5: now in the next few days. I know Mike McCarthy's

44
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 5: scheduled to speak this afternoon again, see if we get

45
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 5: another update on the hankins from him, But right now,

46
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 5: it doesn't sound like it's an ir situation.

47
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 8: Probably a couple of games, yeah, Brian the obvious replacement here.

48
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 8: Mazzie Smith, the first round pick talk to me about

49
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 8: how you've seen him play over the last if you

50
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 8: take the first part of season and then maybe the

51
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 8: last few games, have you seen any progress?

52
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 2: What do you seeing from him?

53
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 3: Mazzie Smith's only problem is when he doesn't get off

54
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: the ball with everybody else, When he's the last one

55
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: off the ball, he's going to get blocked. He's going

56
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 3: to get hooked, he's going to get reached, he's going

57
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 3: to get pushed. You know, Mozzie is a very powerful player.

58
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: When he comes off the snap and gets into a defender,

59
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: he can disengage with the defender quickly when he plays

60
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 3: on the move. The problem is, though, there are times

61
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 3: when you watch him and you can stop the tape

62
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 3: and everybody else is moving and he's still in his stance,

63
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: and that's a huge advantage for offensive linement, especially when

64
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: they try to double team you or as I mentioned, Scoop,

65
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 3: you reach, you get to your corner, earn you. He's

66
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 3: already at a disadvantage. And that's Mazzi's biggest problem right there,

67
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: is that there's times where he's coming off the ball

68
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: with everybody else he's moving, they really can't block him

69
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: all that well because of how strong he is, but

70
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 3: he plays limited snaps and he has like eight really

71
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: good snaps and then three snaps where he's not very good.

72
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: And you know, he needs to develop a little bit

73
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 3: more consistency of coming off the ball. That to me,

74
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: that's the absolute biggest issue that he deals with when

75
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: he plays. He has to fight that of like seeing

76
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: the ball, getting off on the ball and then being

77
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 3: engaged and where he needs to go.

78
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 8: You guys anticipate that Mazzi's going to be the answer

79
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 8: during this time when Hankins is out, and is that enough?

80
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 5: I think the answer is staring you in the face.

81
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: As far as OsO Digi, Zoa, Chauncey Ghost and Neville

82
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 5: Gallimore should get a lot more burned. I think I'm

83
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 5: pretty expecting that Mazzie Smith will get more reps. But

84
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 5: I don't think that he's gonna be the one that

85
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 5: you immediately look for and say you're, you know, Jonathan

86
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 5: Hankins until further notice.

87
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: But here, real quick, I like those guys. Those guys

88
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: don't have the size.

89
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're right, hank Which Carl Davis, you need to

90
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 6: learn who Carl.

91
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 5: And it comes to Carl Davis, former third round pick

92
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 5: recently signed to the practice squad, got I think nineteen

93
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 5: NFL starts under his belt, so he's got some u

94
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 5: He's a veteran still, you know, not an older guy,

95
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 5: not a younger guy right there, middle ground. So he's

96
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 5: gonna step in as well, and you'll see him likely

97
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 5: elevated as early as this week against Buffalo. So there's

98
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 5: that extra body in for two at this time and

99
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 5: on adding him to the practice squad because that was

100
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 5: only a couple of weeks before Hankins went down with

101
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 5: this injury. So good job by the Cowboys and the

102
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 5: scouting department to get you know, that extra body in

103
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 5: before they needed it. So, yeah, you're gonna, like Brian said,

104
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 5: get used to hearing Carl Davis because he's gonna get

105
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 5: some burn as well.

106
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 2: If you haven't had a scoutter report on them.

107
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just you're with Carl Davis when you watched

108
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 3: him play and he came out of Iowa and he

109
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 3: was one of those guys that when you look at

110
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 3: the size, it's very simplar similar what you have with

111
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 3: a guy like Hankins. A big square body guy doesn't

112
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 3: get turned very much, plays with more power than he does.

113
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: H really that athletic ability or or you know, pass

114
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 3: rush ability. Uh. Coming out of college though he was

115
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 3: a hard guy to move. He watched him just you know,

116
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,119
Speaker 3: eat up blocks. But his main asset to a team

117
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: is his size. That's where he's he's at as best.

118
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 3: You're not going to get a lot of like I said,

119
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 3: you're not gonna get a lot of pass rush at

120
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 3: him or uh, you know, covering a lot of ground

121
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: sideline to sidelines. He's just he's one of those guys

122
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 3: that can that kind of that that takes up the

123
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: space if they run into his area. He's capable of

124
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 3: getting off the block and making a tackle right there

125
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 3: at the spot. But chasing down plays and stuff like

126
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: that is something that that that's not really really part

127
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: of his game.

128
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: Good thing is you said he eats up blocks.

129
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: I love that guy.

130
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: He's running backs, running around without guards on himself.

131
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 6: That's exactly right.

132
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 8: All right, all right, let's talk about Buffalo. This is

133
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 8: a seven and sixteen. They they are currently not in

134
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 8: the playoffs. Currently they are the eleventh team in the AFC.

135
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 8: That all being said, They've beat Kansas City at Kansas City,

136
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 8: they beat Miami and they lost in overtime to Philadelphia,

137
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 8: a game they should have won. Like, let's be clear,

138
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 8: they should have won that game if you were ranking

139
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 8: them relative to.

140
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: The team the Patriots too, they have right.

141
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 8: So there's it's all these mixed signals that you're getting

142
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 8: from them.

143
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: My question is if you would have ranked.

144
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 8: Them right now relative to the teams the Cowboys have

145
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 8: played this season, what would they be ranked?

146
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 3: Just watching their offensive tape, I would say this team

147
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 3: And I was on with their guys last night on

148
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: their podcasts, and the Buffalo Bills have a podcast and

149
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 3: I was on with them. This is a team I

150
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 3: don't want to really play. I just think there's too much.

151
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 3: There's too much talent. I know on the offensive side

152
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 3: of the ball right now, when you look at the quarterback,

153
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: you look at the wide receivers, the tight ends, you

154
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 3: look at the running back. There's a lot of talent there.

155
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 3: So give me whatever team Dallas has played that has

156
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: really good offensive talent.

157
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: San Francisco, they better than San Francisco.

158
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: Not not to that, but yeah, it's it's very much

159
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 3: like it's almost like Seattle, where you're dealing with a

160
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 3: couple of wide receivers that can really play. Seattle didn't

161
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 3: have the tight end that you play. But man, they've

162
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: got two guys. They're both being kind of banged up.

163
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 3: The running back with Cook, there's there's some things about

164
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: him that you just when they throw him the ball.

165
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 3: And now with Joe Brady, they have a new play caller,

166
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 3: so you look like a different team, you know, So

167
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 3: you're gonna get schemed a little bit, and you're gonna

168
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 3: get schemed with talented players. The problem they run into

169
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 3: is they got a quarterback that will turn over the

170
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: ball at a heartbeat, so you can't really say, well,

171
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 3: you know, that's a lot of been a lot of

172
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 3: their issues is they've dealt with, you know, at times,

173
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: he's turned over the ball at the worst of times.

174
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: So I would put them in the top probably four

175
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: teams that Dallas has played when you're just looking at

176
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 3: offensive skill right now, that would be my That would

177
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: be my guess.

178
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 9: Sorry, guys, I've been Brandon Aubrey was name NFC Special

179
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 9: Team Players.

180
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: Of the Week.

181
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 9: So I'm posting the story and dealing all of that

182
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 9: since there's only one.

183
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 8: That in Spanish and they come back and speak with

184
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 8: us in yeah, yeah, yeah.

185
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 9: I mean, yeah, I don't really have a team, Derek,

186
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 9: so it's all a me to do it. But what

187
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 9: was the question I was.

188
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: Saying, Like, looking at this Buffalo team, they're all over the.

189
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 8: Map, like as far as the their production relative to

190
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 8: who they are and what the players that they have,

191
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 8: how would you.

192
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 3: Would you rank them?

193
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 8: If you rank them against the other teams Cowboys to play,

194
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,239
Speaker 8: where would you put them?

195
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 4: Well?

196
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 9: I did hear Brian say that's a tough one to

197
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 9: kind of rate there because they don't have that kind

198
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 9: of consistency. But you cannot take them easy, Like I'm

199
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 9: trying to look the right world like you cannot.

200
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, a lot of talent.

201
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 9: Very they have a lot of talent, and you just

202
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 9: never know what kind of team is going to show up.

203
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 9: They can completely dominate you, or you can dominate them

204
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 9: and and end up with the win. Honestly, the biggest

205
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 9: thing coming into this weekend is the fact that the

206
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 9: Cowboys have to travel over there and play in their

207
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 9: own stadium. Those people they're they're used to that, that's

208
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 9: their home, that's where they play. The Cowboys they're not

209
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 9: used to that. And taking into account we do have

210
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 9: a lot of young players that are on this Cowboys team.

211
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 9: So when you talk about the experience and and having

212
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 9: to travel into those conditions, and I think you said,

213
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 9: the weather's not terrible this week, it's actually pretty good.

214
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 8: There's some rain that's crept into towards maybe the end

215
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 8: of the game, but that's still only fair.

216
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 3: But it's something last night Buffalo. The players in Buffalo

217
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: don't like to play in the bad weather. Oh really, yeah,

218
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 3: because they were we were talking about it on the

219
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: podcast and and they were saying, you guys are probably

220
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 3: going to catch a pretty good day and you know,

221
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: and and I said, well, how does that affect when

222
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 3: you guys playing and goes, oh, no, our guys don't

223
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 3: want to play in wind and rain and cold and

224
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 3: snow and all that that. No one does know. They

225
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: they we live in it. But to be honest with you,

226
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 3: the offense wants to play in dry conditions.

227
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: Think about how they play offense.

228
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 3: That's how they That's exactly right. Yeah, yeah, so well

229
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: see what you catch your break?

230
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 10: You do?

231
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: I think you're going to catch your break now. They're

232
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 3: talking about wind on Friday Saturday. You see if the

233
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 3: wind creeps in that's That's the only thing that I

234
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 3: worry about when you play in Buffalo at that stadium

235
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 3: is the wind, and it could affect the way you

236
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: could throw the football. I do believe that Buffalo has

237
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 3: the advantage running the football against you in this football game.

238
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 9: I would say this is the third best team that

239
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 9: the Cowboys are gonna face. I would see that way

240
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 9: because the forty nine ers, I mean, you cannot take

241
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 9: them off the top of the list. They're the best

242
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 9: of the best went healthy. And then the Eagles, despite

243
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 9: of how they're playing this year, the Eagles have always

244
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 9: been a challenge for the Cowboys every year. That's always

245
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 9: regardless of how the season. It's always a competitive game,

246
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 9: regardless of the situation. And they do have a lot

247
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 9: of talented players. But Buffalo, as far as everyone they

248
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 9: face right now, I would rank them right and third

249
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 9: because of all the talented players that they do have.

250
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 6: I would probably put them at fifth.

251
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 5: I would go San Francisco, Philadelphia, Miami, Detroit, and then Buffalo.

252
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 5: A little bit more of an age to Buffalo when

253
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 5: you're playing to them, when you're playing in Buffalo than

254
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 5: when you're playing Detroit.

255
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 6: Here in Arlington, in Dallas.

256
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 5: But still I think Detroit, even though they've kind of

257
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 5: struggled past couple weeks, I think they're a better team

258
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 5: than Buffalo. They're definitely a more consistent team these last

259
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 5: couple of games notwithstanding.

260
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 9: But by the way, I'm saying that they've played not

261
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 9: I'm saying yeah, yes, because I know people are gonna

262
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 9: send me messages.

263
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: You're so dumb, You're so stupid.

264
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 9: Okay, I'm talking about people that because I.

265
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 3: Thought the same thing of teams they've already played.

266
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 9: The teams that they've played, Okay, not that they are

267
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 9: left to face.

268
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 6: Okay, if teams that they've played, then their number three, right.

269
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 3: It sounds across the board.

270
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 2: You guys agree there.

271
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was an interesting.

272
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 8: One though, Brian, when you when you brought up the Rams,

273
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,599
Speaker 8: because I thought the Rams, the Seahawks, those are the

274
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 8: kind of teams that had some talent, Like we talked

275
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 8: a lot about that secondary for the Seahawks and how

276
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 8: they could pose some problems. Cowboys actually overcame that pretty well.

277
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 8: But But yeah, I think teams like that where it's

278
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 8: like their talent rich, like they got talent.

279
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: It's just a matter of where they're.

280
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 3: Looking at offensively. The Rams have a couple of receivers,

281
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 3: the Buffalo has a couple of receivers. Rams have a

282
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 3: tight end. Buffalo has a couple of tight ends. You know,

283
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 3: you've seen with Williams running the ball with the Rams

284
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 3: they seem to have. You know, I think Williams is

285
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 3: probably a little bit better than Cook running the ball

286
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 3: right now. Quarterback. You know Stafford was when he's healthy,

287
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 3: he's on, he looks great. When he's banged up, he'll

288
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 3: turn the ball over. We've kind of seen the same

289
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 3: thing with Alan, so it's kind of one of those

290
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 3: things where very similar to me offensively, and you know,

291
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 3: the play caller probably better at at the Rams, but

292
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 3: the play call the new play card Joe Brady in

293
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 3: Buffalo has done a good job of getting getting this

294
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 3: offense back on track and and scheming you a little

295
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: bit better than the than what Ken Dorsey was able

296
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 3: to do.

297
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 8: It a special place in your heart too for your Tigers, right.

298
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 3: Oh no, yeah, Joe, Joe Brady is outstanding. It was unfortunate. Yeah,

299
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 3: he went to Carolina and it just didn't work out

300
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 3: for him that well. But he's found himself again in Buffalo.

301
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: With those players.

302
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, in Buffalo.

303
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 5: I mean they can be dangerous when they're on by line.

304
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 5: I mean they can be lights out when they're on,

305
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 5: and they can be completely lights off when they're out.

306
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 5: I mean, there's no middle ground for the Buffalo Bills,

307
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 5: and you just never know which version of them you're

308
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 5: gonna get on any given week. But you can kind

309
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 5: of dictate that early on by pressuring Josh Allen and

310
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 5: we'll get into that and you force him to turn

311
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 5: the ball over and then that makes him press that

312
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 5: much more than it works into your favor. But you know, offensively,

313
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 5: they got they've got the weapons. Talk to Stefan Gilmore

314
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 5: after the Philadelphia Eagles game and he and Trayvon Diggs

315
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 5: were already side by side of the locker and he

316
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 5: was asked, Stephan was if or Gilmour was if Trayvon

317
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 5: was going to give him any tips on Stefan in Buffalo,

318
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 5: and he was like, absolutely so a little bit of

319
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 5: gamesmanship going on there. I'm sure that Christmas holiday is

320
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 5: gonna be fun. But I think the Cowboys have their

321
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 5: hands full, but at the same time, they have the

322
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 5: horses to get the job done up there. I think

323
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 5: for Buffalo. The defense, their pass rush is certainly there.

324
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 5: Leonard Floyd and those guys, they can get after you.

325
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 5: Their linebacker coy Is is Stout. They can get after

326
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 5: you as well. But you're going up against another secondary

327
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 5: that is questionable, especially with Tradevius White on ir. So

328
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 5: that secondary can be had if you can get past

329
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 5: the first two levels. So Buffalo is dangerous, especially at

330
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 5: home with Bill's mafia going through tables and going crazy.

331
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 5: So now if the weather continues to look favorable, at

332
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 5: least you'll have that also in your favor.

333
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,280

393
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 8: let's talk about the Buffalo offense. Buffalo right now, they

394
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 8: are ranked number five. They're the number five ranked offense

395
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 8: in the NFL. They're number five and passing number ten

396
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 8: and rushing number five in scoring. Brian, what do they

397
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 8: do best? What does this offense do best?

398
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 3: I think their ability to put pressure on you with

399
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 3: all their skill guys, and it's not an exotic way

400
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 3: of doing things, but man, I will say this, with

401
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 3: Joe Brady as the coordinator, they're scheming more ways to

402
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 3: get their guys involved when you watch them in these games.

403
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 3: The way with James Cook, the running back, the routes,

404
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 3: the wheel routes, the combinations that they're able to use,

405
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 3: the picks, the underneath stuff, the tight ends up the seam.

406
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 3: They've got a lot of different ways that they can

407
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 3: attack you. And you know, they got a quarterback that's

408
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 3: capable of making all the throws. He's also capable of

409
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 3: turning the ball over to it back. And I looked

410
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 3: at all of his you know, all the turnovers he has,

411
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 3: and he throws those yolo balls. The receivers aren't open

412
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 3: and he'll throw it to them, and you know he

413
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,479
Speaker 3: has late reads. He doesn't always see the defenders. The

414
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 3: balls get tipped into half. I mean he he will

415
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: turn the ball over and I think there's times where

416
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 3: he will move out of the pocket when he doesn't

417
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 3: have to move out of the pocket. You know, if

418
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 3: he would stand there and make the throws when his

419
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 3: guys are open, you know he they would be I

420
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 3: think they would be even more dangerous. But it's a

421
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 3: it's a it's a team that's it's got a tough quarterback.

422
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 3: They got the skill guys on the outside. I think

423
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 3: with the wide receivers, I think that I think that

424
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 3: when you look at I think Gabe Davis does not

425
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 3: get enough credit. He's the receiver that plays opposite of

426
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 3: Digs and but Davis is a He's got a clutch gene.

427
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 3: The way he plays. He's a big guy, he's he's

428
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 3: got these tough he's instinctive, he uses his hands well

429
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 3: and you know, to get off of press coverage, he's

430
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 3: got the ability to create separation. You know, they've got

431
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 3: guys the two tight end with Dawson, with Dawson Knox

432
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 3: and also though with Kincaid. They've got guys. I mean,

433
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 3: they've been dealing with injuries now like their tight end spot.

434
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 3: But I'll tell you what, when those guys are all

435
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 3: healthy and ready to play there, they're a difficult group

436
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 3: to deal with. So you gotta you're gonna have two

437
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 3: tight ends that you're gonna have to deal with. So

438
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 3: the cowboy safeties once again, are gonna have to be

439
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 3: on there, beyond the screws and ready for a group

440
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 3: that can really make some plays down the field.

441
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 8: You mentioned Joshallison. Josh Allen and the interceptions. He's had

442
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 8: at least one interception in eleven of their thirteen games.

443
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 8: That's a pretty tough clip. And also he's at at

444
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 8: least one in the last nine game consecutively. Right, He's

445
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 8: at at least one interception that he's thrown. Is there

446
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 8: anything that you've seen on tape that you look at

447
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 8: and say, here's a way Dallas could lure him into

448
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 8: making some bad decision.

449
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 3: You've got it. You can fool him. And so we've

450
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 3: talked about the way that Dallas can play some of

451
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 3: their coverages, and there's times where he's not really sure

452
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 3: if it's a drop linebacker or the linebacker where that

453
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 3: linebacker is going to be. He will also throw the

454
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 3: ball to an area because the play tells him to

455
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 3: throw the ball to that area. And then I've seen

456
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 3: guys come off routes and make interceptions or guys undercut

457
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 3: routes and its interceptions are knocked away or tip balls.

458
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 3: His vision, I don't think is great. And so if

459
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 3: you if you know that, you kind of can read

460
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 3: him as a player as he's dropped as you read him,

461
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 3: and then you just kind of naturally just go that

462
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 3: way because you know the ball is going to go

463
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 3: that way. I don't think he's a big look off

464
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 3: and throw the ball the other way type of a guy.

465
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 3: So anything in lanes or anything close, drive on it

466
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 3: because there's a possibility he's not always accurate. That's a

467
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 3: big problem for him too, is that he will throw

468
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 3: some balls that are behind receivers or too tall for receivers,

469
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 3: too low, but he will, he will. His biggest issue

470
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 3: is he will not see defender. So if you're able

471
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 3: to kind of disguise in a way to give him

472
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 3: a look and then you drop somebody into an area,

473
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 3: whether that's we've seen before, We've talked about robbers where

474
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 3: you play the middle of the field, you play it

475
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,959
Speaker 3: too deep and you drive a guy down underneath, or

476
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 3: you try and double a guy like you'll double Digs

477
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 3: or you'll double Davis, or maybe double one of these

478
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 3: tight ends. You could probably get your turnover that way

479
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 3: because he's not going to see you.

480
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 2: How does Dallas best? Let me back up? Allan?

481
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 8: Josh Allen is the second He's second on the team

482
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 8: right now in the number of times he's rushed this

483
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 8: season with seventy two. He's also averaging five point two

484
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 8: yards per attempt. We talked about this last week because

485
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 8: Hurts is a similar type quarterback, with the idea of

486
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 8: maybe using a spy. I know, last week it seemed

487
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 8: like all of us were kind of against that idea

488
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 8: of buying large. Is this this week though, that you

489
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 8: really have to consider it because of not only how

490
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 8: good he is at it, but how much they actually

491
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 8: use him running the ball.

492
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 3: I think they'll be plays this week where he's naturally

493
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 3: the ball carrier. After what the Cowboys went through with

494
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 3: Hurts in the way that they motioned them out and

495
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 3: then got Clark and then all of a sudden it

496
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 3: was pop runs, I think that you'll probably see some

497
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 3: of that involved. There were a couple of times in

498
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 3: the Kansas City games where it was just old school

499
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 3: nineteen forty football where they snapped him the ball and

500
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 3: then he just powers behind. He had a touchdown run

501
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 3: where they just pushed the whole pile into the end zone.

502
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 3: That was really a big play that way. I think that,

503
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 3: to me, you have to be concerned about his ability

504
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 3: to run the spy stuff. Yeah, we saw it a

505
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 3: little bit last week with Bell and then Clark against Hurts,

506
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 3: but it wasn't as extensive as it probably needs to

507
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 3: be this week. To me, I think this guy will run.

508
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: I don't think Hurts wanted to run the ball. I

509
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 3: think this guy does want to run the ball. Give

510
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 3: an opportunity. So if you want to say okay, try

511
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 3: and try and keep somebody over the top of him

512
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 3: on on these pass rushes. I don't think that's a

513
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 3: I think that's a a pretty solid plan to have.

514
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 6: I would spy him.

515
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 5: We talked about it last week as far as Jalen

516
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 5: Hurts not necessarily wanting to run, so I wouldn't take

517
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,239
Speaker 5: someone out of coverage and run defense to spy him.

518
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 5: Josh Allen is a different animal, especially when you look

519
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 5: at the fact that he's been sacked only eighteen times,

520
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 5: that's not for the league, the lowest in the league.

521
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 5: And that that's not because the pressure is not getting there.

522
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 5: You know, teams are able to pressure him and hurry

523
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 5: him over thirty percent of the time, but it's the

524
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 5: fact they can't get home on him. Well, why can't

525
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 5: you get home on him? Is because he will run,

526
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 5: he's not thinking, and he's hard to take you. Yeah,

527
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 5: and he's a big guy. Yeah, yeah, he's a unit.

528
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 5: So you have to I believe you have to keep

529
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 5: an eye on him, keep him in the pocket, keeping

530
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 5: in mind that unlike Jalen Hurts in that you want

531
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 5: to see Jalen Hurts try to win the game from

532
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 5: inside the pocket. Once you keep contained and keep Josh

533
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 5: Allen in the pocket. Keep in mind he can make

534
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 5: the play. He's downfield to Stefan Diggs and Gabe David,

535
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 5: So you have to get home on him. That's what

536
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 5: you have to do. But Yeah, to answer your question, Derek,

537
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 5: keeping the spy on him, I think it's a no brainer.

538
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 5: And you know from me, I look at a guy

539
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 5: like Marquise Bell for that, somebody that you know has

540
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 5: the speed but also has the toughness. He will give

541
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 5: up some size to a guy Josh Allen, but he

542
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 5: has the toughness to be able to fight through and

543
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 5: get him down.

544
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 6: So yeah, spy him.

545
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 3: You know what I'm gonna ask you, Ryan, they run

546
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 3: the ball really well. Yeah, there's a seconds second, he's ready.

547
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 3: I think they know you're I know you're gonna I

548
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 3: know it's a it's always a great question every single week.

549
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 3: And this offensive line. I'll tell you what. They've got

550
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 3: some pin and poll elements to them, but I think

551
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 3: they want them maul you. I think that's the number

552
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 3: one thing. It's a veteran group, with the exception of

553
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 3: Osirus Torrance, who if you followed the draft show here

554
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 3: on Dallas Cowboys dot Com, we talked about him quite

555
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 3: a bit the guard from Florida. He could have been

556
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 3: a guy that the Cowboys looked at at that time.

557
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 3: He's the starting right guard. Uh, they've got Connor McGovern

558
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 3: who used to be here. He's the starter at left guard.

559
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 3: So they've got kind of a bully element to their

560
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 3: to their offensive line when you watch so the pinn

561
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 3: and pull the crass playing Butter McGovern. Yeah there, I

562
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 3: think their offensive line is I think their offensive line

563
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 3: at times does it gets in trouble because the quarterback

564
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 3: wants to move. He doesn't want to stand there. He

565
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 3: wants to go. He wants to you know, and I

566
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 3: think he kind of runs himself into some problems. But

567
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 3: overall they've played there. I think they're playing pretty well

568
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 3: as a unit. But this is the this is the

569
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 3: best in the league when it comes to successful running

570
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 3: plays that means gains of foreign plus yards. You know,

571
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 3: if you look at the metrics on that, they're damn

572
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 3: near fifty percent on that and it's their second in

573
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 3: the league when it comes to first down rushing first downs.

574
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 3: So you know, that's to me. I feel like, again

575
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 3: this is vision with Buffalo's guys last night on their

576
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,959
Speaker 3: podcast and stuff, they feel like that they're their strength

577
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 3: in this game. They do not want to face Dallas's

578
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 3: pass rush. That's something that they're worried about. Even though

579
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 3: their lying I think plays pretty well. They want they're

580
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 3: feeling like they can They're going to have to try

581
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 3: and run the ball to win this and I would

582
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 3: agree with them on that. And I think that they

583
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 3: have to challenge Dallas to say, you know, and especially

584
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,479
Speaker 3: with no Hankins in the game, I think I challenged

585
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 3: Dallas to say, Okay, let's see how good your run

586
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 3: defense really is without one of your key pieces there

587
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 3: in the middle of that defense.

588
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 8: Let's remember what Dallas's run defense looked like before they

589
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 8: went out and got Hankins, like that was a thing.

590
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 8: And so I think that has to be something that

591
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 8: if I'm Buffalo, I'm like, you're gonna at least show

592
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 8: me that you've improved in that area without Hankins before

593
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 8: I'm just gonna take it for granted that I can't

594
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 8: run the ball.

595
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 5: I'm just getting tired of having to face my former dogs.

596
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 5: Here we go again, James Cook this week, last week,

597
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 5: you know, and twice this season you had a bunch

598
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 5: of dogs Dawgs with Philadelphia, not DGS because they got

599
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 5: their nose bloody wonderfully so. But James Cook he can

600
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 5: do it all from the backfield. He can take it

601
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 5: and he can play dirty football and getting those interior gaps.

602
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 5: But he's also one of their best receivers as well.

603
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 5: He's averaging over ten yards of touch when you throw

604
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 5: it to him out of the backfield.

605
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 6: He's shifty, he's quick, he has speed.

606
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 5: If you don't get him down on the first tackle,

607
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 5: there will be yack. Good luck on the second guy

608
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 5: trying to get him down. But I do like the

609
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 5: so tackling will be paramount.

610
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 6: There as well.

611
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 5: And I love what I saw from Marquis Bell and

612
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 5: DeMont Clark last week in both coverage but also in

613
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 5: run support as well.

614
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 6: They were playing with their hair on fire. Keep that up.

615
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 5: I think they felt and feel away after the Shack

616
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 5: Leonard headlines. So keep that chip on your shoulders, young men.

617
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 5: But also I do like Brian bringing up Connor McGovern

618
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 5: variable I think McGovern is playing some good football. But

619
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 5: when you're talking about an uncommon opponent like the Bills

620
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 5: are to the Cowboys, you start to look for areas

621
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 5: of familiarity. And Mike McCarthy in this defensive line. They

622
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 5: know Connor McGovern inside and out, so they know his tendencies,

623
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 5: they know how to break him down, they know his opportunities.

624
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 5: I would draw a circle around anyone lined up across

625
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 5: from Connor McGovern to see if they can continually exploit

626
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 5: that because Mike McCarthy and Dan quinn they do know

627
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 5: what McGovern is and they do know how to break

628
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 5: him down, So that might be an opportunity to get

629
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 5: interior pressure and there you go. If you can get

630
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 5: interior pressure and then maintain contained, there's your sack right there.

631
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 8: Brian mentioned that they've had they have multiple offensive weapons

632
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 8: at the skill position, but it seems pretty apparent to

633
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 8: me that Allen really really really stresses getting the ball

634
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 8: to Stephan Diggs.

635
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 2: Then they check this out.

636
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 8: He has Stephan Diggs has sixty more targets than the

637
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 8: next closest guy.

638
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: He has one hundred and thirty two targets.

639
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 8: The next closest guy is Dalton kin Kid at seventy two,

640
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 8: So it's very clear that he relies on him and

641
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 8: wants to get him the ball a lot. My question

642
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 8: for you is, how does Dallas best matchup with Diggs.

643
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 8: Is it a one on one type situation. If so,

644
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 8: what corner is the best guy? Or is this situation

645
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 8: where they really got a bracket him and really pay

646
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 8: extra attention to him.

647
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 3: No, you've You're absolutely right. He's the seventh most targeted

648
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 3: receiver in the league and for good reason. He's very

649
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 3: similar to what the Cowboys having Ceedee Lamb in my opinion, explosive,

650
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 3: NonStop player. He'll take routes all over the field. He's

651
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 3: most productives when you watch him run the hitch routes.

652
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 3: I went back and was watching all his catches, hitch routes,

653
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 3: corner routes in the gost those are the three that

654
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 3: or that he deals with the most. There'll be times

655
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 3: where he gets frustrated during a game and you can tell.

656
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 3: And what happens is Joe Brady's figured this out and

657
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 3: they'll throw him a screen, they get him involved. If

658
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 3: they go long stretches where he's not getting the football,

659
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 3: they will dial up a play to get him the ball.

660
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 3: Uh so, Uh, he's he's run after catch. Is really

661
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 3: really good now for Dallas to cover him. You know,

662
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 3: you've you've shown that you have the ability to travel.

663
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 3: You have the ability to travel, uh, you know with

664
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 3: UH with UH with Gilmore, and I would not be

665
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 3: surprised if we once again see that. Then you you know,

666
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 3: then you deal uh. Now the biggest concern for me.

667
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 3: I don't think it's the corners that are the biggest

668
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 3: concerns for me. It's how do you deal with these

669
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 3: tight ends? You know? Do you need to treat these

670
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 3: tight ends uh ash as wide receivers?

671
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 6: UH?

672
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 3: You know, with with Dawson Knox and Dalton Kinkaid. Kinkaid's

673
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 3: dealing with a little bit of an injury right now.

674
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 3: We'll see what his availability is. But Dawson Knox is

675
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 3: coming back from a broken wrist. But they've they've got

676
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 3: they've got two tight ends that play with separation. They're fluid.

677
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 3: You know, the corners can handle what they need to handle.

678
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 3: It's can you and how do you match up with

679
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 3: these tight ends with because I think the first thing

680
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 3: they're going to try and do is run the football,

681
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 3: and then the second thing is, Okay, how do we

682
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 3: take advantage of these of these tight ends and use

683
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 3: them in this game to kind of give us some

684
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 3: easy opportunities?

685
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 5: And you want to stay as far as coverage goes,

686
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 5: try you have to be as sticky as possible to

687
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 5: these receivers because they the Bills receivers and tight ends.

688
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 6: They don't often drop the ball.

689
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 5: Their catch percentage is over seventy percent, so if the

690
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 5: ball is anywhere catchable, they're bringing it in. So you know,

691
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 5: get in there, stick yourself to them, to their hip.

692
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 5: Try not to be over aggressive as far as making

693
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 5: yourself succeptible to possible double routes and things like that,

694
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 5: or double moves I say in the route, things like that,

695
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 5: and get your past breakups and just understand that this

696
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 5: is one of those games where yes, you would love

697
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 5: the interception, you would love the defensive touchdown as far

698
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 5: as like the pick six, but sometimes PBu is the

699
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 5: right way to win that particular rep So don't be

700
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 5: afraid to get your hand in there, and don't necessarily

701
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 5: always try to jump around. Just get in there and

702
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 5: break that up and break up the confidence between Allen

703
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 5: and some of those receivers, because, especially if it's a

704
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 5: guy like Digs, you will see Stepan started to get

705
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 5: flustered on that sideline, started to get in Josh's face,

706
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 5: start to get in the OC's face. And that's when

707
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 5: you know you're on the cusp of breaking them. So

708
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 5: stay sticky, all right, we're going to take our final break.

709
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 5: We're gonna come back. I got some player evals.

710
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 8: We're gonna throw out some names on this Cowboys defense,

711
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 8: and I want you guys to evaluate how they've performed.

712
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 2: This is Alascowboys dot Com Radio.

713
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 11: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

714
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 11: cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he

715
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 11: bought online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to

716
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 11: be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles

717
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 11: per hour. But the good news is Todd has AT

718
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 11: and T five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure,

719
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 11: and he learned the best thing to do is stop

720
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 11: running and toss her the backpack with the beef stew

721

00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 8: anything that stands out, and how they've played here over

777
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 8: the last couple of weeks.

778
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 2: Let's start with Donovan Wilson.

779
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 6: Improving definitely.

780
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 5: We talked about the majority of the season, he was

781
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 5: kind of up and down as he worked his way

782
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 5: back in. You know, calf strain held him out of

783
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 5: the entirety of training camp. But if you look at

784
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 5: a game like last week, he's really finding not only

785
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 5: his groove but his confidence as well. So he's he's

786
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 5: on the right trajectory, needless pointed due north, and hopefully

787
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 5: in this most critical part of the season December January,

788
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 5: we start to see more of the twenty twenty two

789
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 5: Donovan Wilson come out. But that's who showed up against

790
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 5: the Eagles was twenty twenty two Donovan Wilson.

791
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, I've said this before. He was one of my

792
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 9: favorite players because the moment he stopped on the field,

793
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 9: he was so aggressive not afraid to tackle and just

794
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 9: go for it. And then that kind of disappeared earlier,

795
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 9: Like you said, earlier this season, it wasn't there, but

796
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 9: then last week against the Eagle Eagles, he all of

797
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 9: a sudden showed back up. So I need dan Quinn

798
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 9: to do exactly what he did last week in preparation

799
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 9: for the Eagles, because everybody on defense was playing animal

800
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 9: like crazy and we were talking about the receivers, the

801
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 9: Buffalo receivers and the possible interceptions. This is a game

802
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 9: where if you carry that over the way that they

803
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 9: were playing defense, even wrapping their arms around the player,

804
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 9: getting like trying to hit the ball, get it out

805
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 9: of their hands, creating turnovers that way, fumbles and it

806
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 9: just to recreate. But both to Donovan Wilson, he's finding

807
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 9: himself again and got a taste of the old Donovan

808
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 9: Wilson last week, and I love that. So I think

809
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 9: he's definitely improving.

810
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 3: Encouraging because they needed to play well and they're gonna

811
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 3: need to play well in this game too. It's gonna

812
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 3: be about tackling. It's going to be about limiting the

813
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 3: number of big plays. It's going to be about tackling

814
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 3: a quarterback in space too, if you get the opportunities.

815
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 3: So I was encouraged by what I saw from from Donovan.

816
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 3: I thought the week before his eyes let him down

817
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 3: on a couple of plays, and but when he sees

818
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 3: it and he's he's he goes after it. He can finish.

819
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 3: You know, he's extremely tough. They need that physicality these

820
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 3: last four games and getting into the playoffs. You know,

821
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 3: he needs to as a as a group, that whole secondary.

822
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 3: If they continue to play at the level they did

823
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,760
Speaker 3: against Philadelphia, you're gonna play a lot of winning football

824
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 3: with that.

825
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 5: Jay Ron Curse also trending in the right direction, had

826
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 5: an un even you know, stretch of the season. But

827
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 5: I'm of the mindset that although there have clearly been

828
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 5: some opportunities for improvement for jay Ron Curse, I don't

829
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 5: subscribe to what I'm seeing on social media when it

830
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 5: comes to people saying that he's playing poor football.

831
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 6: That's what I'm at worst.

832
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 5: He's been solid that there are film points where you

833
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 5: could say, oh, well, you got to be better there,

834
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 5: But there are also film points where you say, oh,

835
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 5: there's jay Ron Curse. And I liked what I saw

836
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 5: from him as well against the Philadelphia Eagles. And again,

837
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 5: much like Donovan Wilson, if he can he jay Ron

838
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 5: Curse can continue to play that kind of football going

839
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,240
Speaker 5: into this home stretch and going into January, the Cowboys

840
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 5: will be right where they need to be, which would

841
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 5: be Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium in February. So jay

842
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 5: Ron Curse, he's had some ups and downs, but he's

843
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 5: battled some injury. You know, he's fought through it, right,

844
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 5: hasn't missed games for it, but he's fought through it.

845
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 5: But he's really starting to come into his own as well.

846
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 5: But again, I don't subscribe to the whole well he

847
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 5: you know, get him off the field. We and I

848
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 5: say we because I know Brian and I on the

849
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 5: same point of this. We love jan Ye Thommas and

850
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 5: what he brings to the field. But it's also true

851
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 5: that jay Ron is playing some good football. So it's

852
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 5: not a situation where oh, get Jayron out of there,

853
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 5: get jan Ye. No, let jay Ron do his thing.

854
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 5: Let one Ye come in and get more reps. I

855
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 5: would give one year more reps, but not at the

856
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 5: expense of saying, hey, bench jay Ron.

857
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 3: He's been an impactful player since he's been with the Cowboys,

858
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 3: and it just hasn't happened at enough of a level

859
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 3: that you know, you get spoiled watching him play because

860
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 3: of the length, the toughness, the smarts, all those things

861
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 3: about him. He's obviously playing a little banged up right

862
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 3: now and that's been I think something that he's not

863
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 3: going to admit, and that's to his credit. But you know,

864
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 3: if as we get into these games, the final four

865
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 3: games and then into the playoffs, if you can get

866
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 3: him to be back to being that impactful player that

867
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 3: we've seen from him before. The way he tackles, the

868
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 3: way he's around the ball, the way he can cover,

869
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 3: you know, those those are all things that make this

870
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,959
Speaker 3: defense so much better when him and Wilson and those

871
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 3: guys are showing up that way. I think a lot

872
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 3: of these safeties that are playing linebacker, I think it's

873
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 3: been tough for him because they're having to play in

874
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 3: roles that not many safeties ever get to do. You

875
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 3: don't play down in the box and deal with all

876
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 3: the crap that those guys deal with, and I think

877
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 3: it's taking its toll on some of them. But if

878
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 3: they can find a way to kind of fight through

879
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 3: that and then be ready to go. But he's an

880
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 3: impactful player and hopefully gets that kind of turned around.

881
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, a solid guy. I think it's one of those

882
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,439
Speaker 9: cases where just because he's not necessarily making it into

883
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 9: like highlight reels or hearing his name a lot, it

884
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 9: doesn't mean that he's playing bad. He's just he's doing

885
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 9: his job, but also not necessarily making those huge plays,

886
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 9: creating the interceptions, turnovers or big tackles that you have

887
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 9: seen in the past from him too. So he's just

888
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 9: he's doing his job. Now he can still take it

889
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 9: up a notch, but he's been a solid guy.

890
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll say this.

891
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 8: I look at him Donovan in a very similar way.

892
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 8: The reason why I think they are valuable players to

893
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 8: this team and this defense is because of the impact plays.

894
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,439
Speaker 8: And so when the impact plays aren't there, you kind

895
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 8: of miss them, like if you miss what they bring

896
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 8: to the defense. Because there's a lot of guys have

897
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,439
Speaker 8: different roles on his defense, I think their role, both

898
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 8: of them, I think their role.

899
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 2: Is to make the impact plays.

900
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 8: And we saw last week with Donovan Wilson and it

901
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 8: was and I immediately Patrick, I looked over at you.

902
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 8: I was like, that's what we've been waiting for, because

903
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 8: that's what I think this defense relies on from those

904
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 8: two guys, is those impactful plays. All right, let's go

905
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 8: look at Malee Cooker, another safety free safety.

906
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 3: I've been very critical of Elie Cooker and I thought

907
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 3: it was the best game he's played all year last week,

908
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 3: and they run a corner route on him with Smith.

909
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 3: Smith catches the ball and the hooker comes over and

910
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 3: plays with range and knocks it out of his hands.

911
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 3: And that's where that reminded me of Malie Cooker I

912
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 3: saw at Ohio State. When you play with range, when

913
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 3: you get in position, when you're able to make knock

914
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 3: the ball away. You know, as I see where you're

915
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 3: going here, you're going with all these safeties and they

916
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 3: need to be better. There's a thing I knew that

917
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 3: I knew that I wasn't going to get the Tyron

918
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 3: Smith question here, but but yeah, you know, when this

919
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 3: defense is good, they're good up the middle, and you

920
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 3: know it's it's a man now. They're now they're stressed.

921
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 3: You know, no Hankins linebackers are you know, fighting their

922
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 3: ass off right now. You know, guys are playing out

923
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 3: of position, and you know, the safeties, the safeties as

924
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 3: a whole played really well, and they need that. I mean,

925
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 3: that's you know, we're taught the scouts. You see it

926
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 3: one time, you'll see it again. They're capable of doing that.

927
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 3: Malik Hooker is capable of playing like that every single week,

928
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 3: you know, And I think there's some times where he hasn't.

929
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 3: I think all the safeties have it. But but the

930
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 3: one time, you know, when they had to absolutely have

931
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 3: all three of them play well, they did. And so

932
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 3: that's my expectations going forward. You know, Malie Cooker, I

933
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 3: saw you make a couple of plays in that game.

934
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 3: You know, I need to see you make two more

935
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 3: this week against Buffalo to turn this game around.

936
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 6: Yeah.

937
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 5: Another good showing this past weekend against the Eagles by

938
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 5: one of the Cowboys safeties. I think of the three

939
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 5: when you talk about Hooker, Curse and Wilson, Malik has

940
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 5: been the most consistent. He's had opportunities that you could say, well,

941
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 5: you need to take a better angle there, you need

942
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 5: to keep your eyes here or versus there. But of

943
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 5: the three, he's the one that's had the least amount

944
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 5: of swings or oscillations in his frequency, he's been the

945
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 5: most consistent and in his trajectory based off of last weekend,

946
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 5: it's pointing north as well. So I give kudos to

947
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 5: Malie Hooker because when you talk about coming into the

948
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 5: season three headed monster at safety, you resigned Donovan Wilson

949
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 5: to an extension, and you're thinking to yourself, Okay, they

950
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 5: were able to keep this unit in play. This unit

951
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 5: makes a lot of splash plays for you. This is

952
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 5: going to be fantastic. But then you see Wilson mistraining

953
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 5: camp and then he plays uneven because he's working his

954
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 5: way back. Jay Ron Curse. He's uneven because he's battling

955
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 5: through some things. Hell, he suffered another injury. Told me

956
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,439
Speaker 5: in the locker room he's okay, but suffering other injury

957
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 5: against the Eagles. Anticipated he'll be on the field against Buffalo.

958
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 5: But he's not one hundred percent Mali Cooker. He's been

959
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 5: there every week, just consistently.

960
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 3: There.

961
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 6: Has he been perfect? No, has he been a bad No,

962
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 6: just in spots.

963
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 9: That nobody not everyone can be perfect great.

964
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 5: But my point is is there are more things to

965
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 5: point out when it comes to Dono and Curse. Prior

966
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 5: to week fourteen to say, Okay, we want to see

967
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 5: more from there. There's not as many of those spots

968
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 5: with Malie Cooker. He's been kind of the cool hand

969
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 5: Luke for the most part, and I think that that

970
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,240
Speaker 5: bodes well for them, especially coming off of a confidence

971
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 5: builder like they just had against the Eagles going into

972
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 5: hostile territory in Buffalo.

973
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 9: Yeah. I agree with everything you guys said, and to

974
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 9: out on top of those injuries that you listed, we

975
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 9: got to remember also the fact that Trevon Diggs is out, Yeah,

976
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 9: Leyton vandoresh is out. So that changes your whole defense,

977
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 9: and that changes your responsibility even as a safety some

978
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 9: of the things that you feel more pressure, You have

979
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 9: more stuff that you have to handle because those two

980
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 9: guys are out, and they've done a nice job all

981
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 9: in all. When you look at two starters being out

982
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 9: on your defense, you expect a bigger that to have

983
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 9: a bigger impact on your defense, and it has.

984
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 3: I mean it has for.

985
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 9: Sure, but they've been able to still play games very

986
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 9: well and manage to compete at a good level. So

987
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 9: you got to take all those things into consideration. But

988
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 9: I think, yeah, you would like to see more out

989
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 9: of the group as a whole, but looking at everything

990
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 9: that they've been dealing with, I think they've done a

991
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 9: good job.

992
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 6: All Right, that's a wrap.

993
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 2: We will be back tomorrow.

994
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 8: We will jump into the Buffalo defense versus the Cowboys off.

995
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 8: It's still the in for Patrick Walker and Brian brought
