It is Wednesday, October twelve, twenty twenty two, 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:43.120 season eighteen, episode number forty nine. Welcome to the latest 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.880 edition of The Break. We are alive from the s 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.800 WBC Morty Studios at the Star. We are presented by 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.920 Miller Light, the only beer of the Dallas Cowboys. Nick, 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:57.720 you over there drinking Miller? Is that what you go? Not? Quick? No? No? Okay? Um. So, 0:00:57.760 --> 0:00:59.400 we got a lot of things to talk about today. 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.480 We got probably the most important matchup of this game 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:06.199 that we'll talk about today. The Philadelphia Eagles offense versus 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.039 the Dallas defense. To me, Dad, is where this game 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.560 will be won a loss for the Cowboys. We'll get 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:13.800 into that and get some details on that. And second, 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:17.480 let's start first though, with Mike McCarthy and what a 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:19.080 here's saying his press conference This morning, he had an 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.400 update on Dak that everybody's talking about, what do you 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:26.880 say they're preparing for Cooper Rush to be the starter? Um, 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.920 I think that's the McCarthy answer that you're going to 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:32.160 get there of you know, I'm not going to tell 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:36.080 you everything, but that to me doesn't seem like it's 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.319 anywhere clothes for Dak. He also said Brian that Dak's 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.759 gonna throw like after practice his a little throws the receivers. 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.240 I mean, he's not ready to play Sunday. I think 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.800 I think another question is is he gonna be ready 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.360 for next Yeah? Yeah, I think the thing is if 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:53.480 they can get him to throw this week and they 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:58.920 feel comfortable doing that, and then you know, maybe, you know, 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.120 we'll see how things. I think he's going to have 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.880 to throw two weeks before he's even gonna play, So 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.919 at least they're going to try to do some stuff 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.919 with him today to see how the you know, if 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.360 he can as Jerry likes to say, spin the ball 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.320 and things like that, so you know, it's it was 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.600 always it wasn't going to be about this week, can 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:20.200 you be ready to play? I felt like it was 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.240 going to be two weeks. And that's that's kind of 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.840 what the medical staff was telling me as well. So 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.320 listen to expect him. You know, when he starts to throw, 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.200 then you could start to start the clock on when 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:32.920 he might be banging. I mean, this whole thing was 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.760 four to six weeks, right, I mean it was the day, 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.920 was the original it was out there, right, it absolutely was, 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.160 until your general manager decided that he wanted to push 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.680 the timeline because he didn't feel like that maybe Cooper 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:46.760 Rush was going to win you four straight games, right, 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.600 That's that's that's what he Well, but everyone knew he 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.800 was going to win four in a row. Yeah, well 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.320 that's the I knew. Yeah, but that's the that's the 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.760 things that happened. You know, you're you're selling you know, 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:01.360 Jerry is the ultimate optimist, you know. I mean we've 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.960 we've all worked for him a long time. We understand that. 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:05.679 I mean, he's always going to say, you know, he's 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.400 he's gonna push it. He's gonna he's gonna and even 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.799 know that the medical guys will tell you it's a 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.640 six eight week injury, Brian. You know, so that and 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:15.679 that's that's what the timeline is going to be and 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.079 and you know, you're you built a team that's good 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:21.240 enough to win these games with a backup quarterback, you know, 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.880 And Mike McCarthy is the one guy that trusts the 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.680 medical process. Doctors, trainers love working with this guy because 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.640 he's going to not force somebody to get on the 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:34.520 field that's not ready to play. Yeah, and this is 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:38.240 not this is not the ideal game for him to 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.320 come back. I mean we've talked about it. Yes, you 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.840 want a guy like him back on the field because 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:46.400 we believe he could give you more opportunities to score 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.240 more in games than what Cooper Rush is currently doing 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.200 for you. But at the same time, I'm just like, 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.040 and I've gone back and for it. I know if 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.760 it won't happen, he's not gonna play this weekend, But 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.520 it just it wouldn't have been, at least for me, 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.560 the right game and say scenario for him to come back, 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:06.320 because depending how that game would go if they lose, 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.760 I think it just more are you talking about the 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:11.760 optics of how it would look if Dad comes back 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.440 and they get smoked? Kind of, But more so than that, 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.360 it's also like, you know, you guys mentioned it yesterday 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:20.839 about his confidence when he comes back from an injury. 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.400 I wondered, like what that would do in like a 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:28.320 negative effect on him, like maybe playing mind games of 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.440 things like that of some sort where now his confidence 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.320 just kind of drops as we move forward with the season. 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.119 But either way, there's no point really kind of getting 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:38.600 into that BECA is not going to happen. But I've 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.960 said that too. I mean, I've said that about you 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.719 know that this is my mindset on this is the 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:45.840 is one where it would protect Dak a little bit 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.040 because you know what happens. You lose this game and 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.719 some producer and ESPN's like pull up the split screen. 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.400 Here's rush and here's numbers, here's five and oh as 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.279 a career starter, and he's OZ and two. Here's his rating, 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.280 here's his rating and all that kind of stuff, And 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.480 it doesn't need to happen. Um, Dak needs to come 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.880 back when he's healthy, when he when he's when he's ready. 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.680 But as I've said all along, I mean, I don't 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.880 think that's going to happen during this I don't think 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:13.839 he's going to be ready here in the next few weeks. 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.520 That's why I've said what I've said about I'm not 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.360 benching a quarterback that's undefeated. Yeah, but there is going 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.000 to come a time when he is healthy and if 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.560 he's still undefeated, and I still think that it still 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.520 holds true that I think your starting quarterback comes back 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:28.440 at that point. I know you don't agree with I don't. 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.480 I don't. I think okay, And I think I think 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.840 there's only two people right now that's even like they 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:34.720 don't agree with that, and I think it was me 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.080 and Jerry Jones. Well, Jerry didn't quite say that because 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:39.839 he said q r QB one's r QB one. What 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.280 he said is I do believe in the mojo idea. 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.040 But he also followed that up with he's our starter, 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.520 like he followed. The last thing he said in that 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:52.280 sentence was you don't mess up a good thing. Okay, right, 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.240 I mean I can pull it up, but I but 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.080 he also brought back the whole dak Romo thing, which 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.240 I agree with you, guys, is not the same scenario here, 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:04.680 you can't. He was you were looking for a quarterback 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.240 and you were like, we've got one here. You wanted 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:08.960 to move on, like you want looking for a reason 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.600 wanted looking guy. We don't want Rush. They don't want 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.479 Rush to be the guy. They just want you know, 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.360 I don't know that anything that we've seen necessarily says 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.760 he is the guy. Like I think again, they're winning 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.880 with great defense, and that's the point. And by the way, 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.520 he's doing a good job of not messing that up. Great, 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.120 thank you. That's what a good backup should be able 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:32.599 to do. Right, No, that's what a good quarterback should do. Honestly, 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.440 I know a good quarterback should be able to get 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.680 you more than a hundred yards, But you know, the 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.400 hundred yards passing, Like like, nobody in his right mind 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:45.240 wants to wants to if they don't have to pass 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:49.039 the ball, why would you, like, Seriously, the Rams have 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.880 two great players. They have a shutdown corner and they've 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.160 got a disruptive pass rusher. So if you can just 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.280 run it up their ass the whole time, then why 0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.480 would you not, Like, I think we have a drop 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.800 from Broad says that that's what you do. You just 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:05.040 keep running it. So one hundred yards, I mean I 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:06.640 saw that on Twitter. If they would have had a 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.400 hundred yards and they would have lost, everyone had been 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.080 going crazy, and I'm like, they wouldn't have they wouldn't 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:12.960 have lost. They wouldn't have had one hundred yards. He 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.720 would have had three hundred hollow yards that Matthew Stafford 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.200 had because they lost, and that you have to play 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.600 the game differently. So I don't know. I mean, I 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.760 think those stats are ridiculous. That ten of sixteen one 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.120 hundred two yards. Okay, I mean, like, but they didn't 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.280 have to. This big bad defense of the Rams could 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.679 not stop Zeke and Pollard and then running and running 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.800 and running. It's I mean, had three really bad throws. 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:37.760 He had three bad throws early in the game. He 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.840 had three that that that bounced off that you know, 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.440 but he wasn't really trying to move that all. That's 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.120 all great until you run into a team that has 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.800 a better offense. By the way we're gonna get into this, 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.080 run into a team that has a better offensive line. 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.840 Run into a team that has more dimensions to their 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.400 offense than just one receiver who might be great, but 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:59.120 it's one receiver. Like, until you run into that, then 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.640 maybe you have you're gonna have to do more than that. 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.840 And that's where I mean, I thought I saw a 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.800 stat where he hasn't trailed, where he's only trailed by 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.480 a very very small margin a small amount of time 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:13.200 since he started these games, Like that's a benefit. What 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.240 happens when you get into that game where somebody comes 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:17.160 in and smacks you in the mouth, then they're up fourteen? 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:21.920 Ohis okay, that's first year ago. But by the way, 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:23.640 and by the way, the defense wasn't what it was, 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.040 so that goes to your credit. That's actually point for you. 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:27.640 What I'm saying is though this year he has not 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.520 had that situation. This is about this defense, and we 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.160 will see what happens when he has a different And 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:36.400 I've been painted into this like that I hate Dak whatever, 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.480 and and I'm standing by the eighty twenty I mean 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:43.440 eighty percent thing from from yesterday. I mean I undred 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.560 percent believe that if you got he got a quarterback 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.480 with a bad thumb, then why would you play him? 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.880 Why would you? I mean, yeah, it's not gonna be better. 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.640 So we all agree on yeah, we all agree on 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:54.440 I don't know, it needs to be healthy with the 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.200 thumb before you put it back out there, Bryan, what 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:01.680 do you think now? It's just it's it's it's it's 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.680 a very good discussion it really really is. And you know, 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.040 I wanted to believe when I went into the season, 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.920 I said the biggest difference between these two teams was 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.679 the quarterback. And I felt like you had the better one. 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.360 You don't have the better one now you just don't. 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:19.840 And to give credit though, to Hurts, he's played a 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:24.120 lot better. He really has. I remember, you know it, 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.960 working on the draft, um, you know, the draft show 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.080 and stuff like that, and we're not Josh Allen and 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.960 everybody was like, God, he can't throw, he's not accurate, 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.240 he's not this, he's not that. You can say the 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.679 same thing about Jalen Hurts. Same thing. You know, hey, 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.280 make him do this, make him do that. Well, when 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.760 you make him do that, he's actually delivering a little bit. 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:46.959 And that's what's making this offense much better. And you're 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.760 you're going to lose the battle of the quarterbacks in 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:54.120 this game, and your hope is that your defense can 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.800 because it's it's going to be a struggle to have 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.040 to deal with all the things that they do, but 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.400 it's you're capable. There's teams that have slowed these guys down. 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.520 They've scored early in games and all of a sudden. 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.320 Teams have kind of figured out what they're doing, but man, 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.560 it's going to take a lot of discipline to do it. 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:15.040 But you're I usually believe when Dak plays in this 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.760 games against Philadelphia, I believe he's won five games. He's 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.720 only lost a couple against them, you know, division opponents, 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.640 he's usually pretty good. I mean, if you had Dak 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.720 Prescott a healthy one, you're saying, Okay, now you know 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.479 you could with this defense and Dak playing against Philadelphia. 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.319 The confidence you know that you would have that Dak 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.400 would have in this game. It's like I don't lose 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.439 against division opponents. I might lose to other teams, but 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.360 I ain't losing these division opponents. You know, that's the 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.800 confidence I think he would carry in this game. But 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:45.240 you don't have that advantage. Now that's a problem real quick, Nick, 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.040 Let's get some updates on a couple other defensive players, 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.360 Michael Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence. What are we hearing about them 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.280 saying they're going to be held out a little bit 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:58.439 and limited in practice on Wednesday of today's practice. I'm 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.920 just thinking Wednesday's practice limits to Thursday probably ramped them 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.840 up into getting ready to play. I mean, you know 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:09.000 those guys you can easily say just leave him out, 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.280 leave him out, But this is so important because of 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.360 how much they move around, right, And the other guys 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.480 are moving around too. It's not just digs at corner. 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:20.520 He's not in. Put this guy in and then put 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.160 him back in. It's like all the packages that dan 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.280 Quinn wants to run, the very exotic moves, and you know, 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.000 and you're moving the door and Armstrong around, You're moving 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:30.640 all these guys around. So you gotta be careful with 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.200 that so limited, but but I you know, just to 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.240 make sure that he's okay. But he's got to get 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:38.120 out there, at least mentally to be a part of 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:39.959 all this. Yeah, Nick hit the nail on the head 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.840 right there. There's so many things that you do scheme 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.520 wise with Parsons that not having him it's a little 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:49.440 bit like and I said yesterday on the radio with 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.440 Amari Cooper, when a Mariy Cooper doesn't practice and then 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.200 all of a sudden they're calling plays and the other 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.800 receivers are going, wait, I've practiced this with somebody else 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.440 I've been practiced with. And then Amory runs the out 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.439 a thousand percent better than the guy he's practicing with. 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:07.000 You know, there's a difference in that. So um, I'm 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:11.160 hearing though that the injury with Micah is not severe. 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.480 It's not severe. It's something that he's going to fight through. 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.760 But it's not one of those ones where they're gonna 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.080 pull him out there. They're gonna, you know, if he 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:20.840 needs a little rest, so give him a little rest. 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.320 But they're gonna they're gonna treat him like they're treating 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.640 all their hurt guys. There's no more, no different. I mean, 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.439 he's you know, he's he's gonna be ready to play 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.840 in this football game. For what I heard, well, like 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.720 they were talking about after the game and my McCarthy 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.959 talked about it. You know, they wouldn't have Micah Parsons 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.319 finished the game. They wouldn't have put him back into 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.600 the field to play if it was a type of 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.679 injury that he would have reaggravated it or made it worse. 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.960 So that was kind of a decision that they training 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.480 staff and him made at the time that it was 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.679 more something are you okay to deal with the discomfort? Yea, 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:58.520 Other than that it should be okay, there's no signs 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.120 of aggravating it and all that, so it seems like 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.320 it's not really gonna be a problem. Look how he 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.680 played even after he went out and came back in. 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.280 He got the player of the week, right, Yeah, yep. 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.520 I think what they said was, I said, Micah, how 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.319 are you feeling here? You're feeling okay? It's like, yeah, 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.760 I think he come back. He's like, I think so, 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.520 and he's like, you know, Dorn's Armstrong is pretty close 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.160 to you in sacks, and so it's the law. I mean, 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.079 they're they're gaining on you here, and they're like, what 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.360 he's tied with you in sacks, and Adornce is give 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.680 a helmet. Here we go two sacks. Now, Funny you 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.800 think about that whole sequence. The final sack was that 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:33.719 if you saw the sidelines and I know you guys 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.800 were probably heading on down to the field. Like he 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:38.960 gets the sack, he comes in the sidelights and Dak 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.800 like slams him with his right hand and the chest 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:46.240 and I'm going, wow, okay, we got a potentially hurt 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.920 guy and then a really hurt guy just slamming his 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:52.160 hand on his chest like you know, they're already's having fun, 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.800 and I'm thinking, please, don't do that again. Don't do that. Yeah, 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:56.880 we don't want the extra swelling. They won't need that. 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:58.400 All right, let's go and take our first break. When 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.560 we come back, we're gonna dive in Philadelphia Offense versus 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.680 Dallas Defense.

Brian, tell me 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:07.760 what's the best thing that this Philadelphia offense does? Keeps 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:11.399 you on your toes and it Mike McCarthy said it 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.000 today in the press conference. The stress levels that you 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:17.040 have to deal with. There's a ton of movement with 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.520 the wide receivers. There's screens to tie it ends. There's 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:24.520 screens the backs, there's screens their receivers, they're delayed screens. 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:29.159 There's a power running game involved. There's a RPO stuff 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.400 where remember the Daniel Jones early in the game where 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:35.560 he faked a handoff inside, he went to his left 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:38.480 and then he threw as the Cowboys reacted, he threw 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:41.359 the ball to the outside. That's what you get with 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:45.520 this offense, and it is a it's it's really very 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:48.080 creative in the way they do things. The quarterbacks playing 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:52.200 at a very high level. They've got they've got outstanding 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.840 personnel to run it. But they're a little banged up 0:17:55.840 --> 0:18:00.040 in this offensive line. And if you somehow catch a 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.600 break where Jack driscoll is playing left tackle instead of 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:06.760 Jordan my Alatta, then you're you're in pretty good shape here. 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.560 But they've got a really good center the way that 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.879 he plays, and you know, and that's that's really what 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:14.520 you're dealing with, Like you're just dealing with a lot 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:18.760 of skill. But they're very creative when you're thinking, like, Okay, 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.199 they're running, we're getting a feel for the plays, and 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:23.000 then all of a sudden they get in another formation 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:25.560 and there's that delayed tight end screen. They throw that 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.359 delayed tight end screen to the left. Everyone I've seen 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.480 all the games I've watched. So if you get Dallas Goddard, 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:33.240 if you're watching the game and you're thinking, oh, this 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.760 is kind of a crucial play here, he lines up 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.840 like a wing left, they're likely going to get a 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:40.760 screen to that side. So you know, I know the 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:42.840 Cowboys do their advanced scouting. That's what I used to 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:44.919 do for a living when I was here. You know, 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.679 they go through all these things. You see the trends, 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:50.600 but man, it is a it's a unique group to 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:53.199 watch because of all the skill that they have and 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:55.560 how they use all that skill. Let's assume they're at 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.280 their best on the offensive line, all their guys are playing, 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:01.320 where are they vulnerable. I think the best shot would 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:05.200 be and I know Lane Johnson is a guy that's 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:08.760 a Pro Bowl type player, all Pro type player. I 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:12.440 think he's the lightest of the two tackles for sure. 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:14.560 You know, when you start to talk about the power 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:17.520 and that, you know Tank has played pretty well against him. 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:19.720 Tank can break him down if in the past I 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:23.000 watched games where Tank has a feel if that guy's 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:25.800 going to set him soft, you know, Tank kind of 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:29.160 understands how to attack him. So I would say Lane 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:31.120 Johnson would be a guy that maybe I would look 0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:34.880 at there. The thing with my alatta, he's just so huge, 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:38.000 he's mammoth. Now, what they did was there were some 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:41.440 the games that he played that I watched early in 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:45.639 the season before he got hurt. He's so big that 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:48.400 he just sets and it's hard to run around him 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:52.320 because he's so wide, but he sets back off the line. 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:56.120 So to me, I'm thinking about trying to take him 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:58.200 up the field a little bit, get him to kick 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:00.280 wide because he thinks he's gonna get beat on that 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.640 edge and run that thing underneath on him. And then 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:07.040 I would make Landing Dickerson, the guard have to deal 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:08.919 with you know, he might have to deal with Osa 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.520 or somebody like that. So if you get my alatta 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:15.480 at one on one outside outside and then hit him 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:18.560 back underneath and go straight directly inside, Now the problem 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:21.480 with that is if you come running inside and you 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:26.240 miss that quarterback spens and he's gone. That's the problem that. Yeah, 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:29.080 that's the problem there. There used to be a time 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:30.800 when I was working with you guys, we always talked 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:33.680 about the how to make some of these quarterbacks play 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:36.960 in these games, especially the ones that can run. You 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.359 got to make this guy play backwards, and I mean 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:43.240 make him have to drop, don't let him come to 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:44.960 the line. Throw It's a little like it's like the 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:48.040 Russell Wilson thing. When you get Russell Wilson playing him 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:50.280 and he's running at the line like back in the day, 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.000 he could throw it that way. This guy, when you 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:56.440 kind of get him playing backwards, it's problem for him. 0:20:56.520 --> 0:21:00.000 He does it. He's mechanics too. He's not the big 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:02.800 behind the world. His mechanics go to hell, you know, 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:05.159 I mean when it really really does. And so you 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:07.800 know he's throwing off balance and one foot and all that, 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:10.000 and the ball tends to go a little high. So 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:11.639 if you could find a way to kind of keep 0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:14.320 him there and then make him go backwards, don't let 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:16.920 him go towards the line, make him play backwards. Really 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.639 love what we've seen and what you were talking about 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:21.560 with you know, getting off the edge and making the 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:23.600 guard to all that. I love what I'm seeing out 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:26.719 of a tank and Micael working together right in the 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:29.560 same side. We saw it if you if you watched, um, 0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:34.000 what's our show that uh Alex does? From the sideline, 0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:37.480 they were talking, yeah, if you watch, yeah, it's really 0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:39.840 good numbers for you. Yeah, it really, it really does. 0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:42.720 But this week, like you saw them, they were looking 0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:45.600 at something and d Law almost was offended. I don't 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:49.200 know if you saw it. He was like they they 0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:51.640 they left me one on one and they had two 0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:54.040 guys on you to Mica, you know, and it's like 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:58.440 that's crazy. Yeah yeah, And he was like what which is? Yeah, 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:01.000 what you have to be careful of? And you're absolutely right, 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:03.720 because I do worry about it. And I know I 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:06.480 say this all the time because how aggressive this defense is. 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:09.600 This is the best screen team that you've played and 0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:12.600 and and you're gonna get now. I worry about the 0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:16.760 chip chip chip on, you know, with Dallas chipping, and 0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:18.320 then all of a sudden you get there and then 0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:20.800 he just circles back and they you know, they throw 0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:22.840 the ball to him and the flat stuff like this 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:24.880 goes away. All the way back to the Eagles when 0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:26.840 Andy Reid was there, I was a really they're a 0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:30.120 great screen team. It's always been a great screen team Westbrook. 0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:33.600 People like that. They they they have some really creative 0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:35.879 ways to run the screen because they've got some athletic 0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:38.160 offensive lineman that can do it well. We know how 0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:41.360 important it is for Cowboys defense to play well this weekend. 0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:44.520 And I'm thinking worst case scenario type. I'm not saying 0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:47.200 my guy is not okay, we just talked about him, 0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:51.639 but giving in a worst case scenario type of game 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:55.320 that something happens and he has to come out, how 0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:58.240 do you feel that this defense would be able to 0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:01.320 play without him on the field. It's never easy because 0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:04.320 so much of your scheme is based around him. But 0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:06.640 you're starting to see some guys when he wasn't in there. 0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:09.320 Sam Williams stepped up and did some really good things. 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:12.080 Uh Nick mentioned, you know with Tank and what you 0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:15.200 can do with him. Fouler's another guy that can kind 0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:17.960 of fill in if you have to. This game is 0:23:18.000 --> 0:23:19.879 going to come down to how well you play with 0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:23.840 your eyes because you're going to get so much movement 0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:28.520 and circling back and deception. It's really it's a it's 0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:31.080 a smoke and mirrors offense is what it is. It's like, 0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:34.280 you know, it's like going to Vegas and the Magic Show. Okay, 0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:36.400 here you go, and then you know and it's wow, 0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:39.400 how that happened? You know, that's how they run this offense. 0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:41.679 But they do have an element of it to be 0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:44.560 able to run the football. But they do it pulling 0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:47.360 guys and getting guys out on the edge and they 0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:49.719 and then the the you know with the ball handling stuff. 0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:53.119 So you know it's Mica not being in there is 0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:56.240 not great. I think you got guys, but how well 0:23:56.320 --> 0:23:58.800 you see things this week? How well you you're able 0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:02.280 to to give like, okay, don't get fooled and then 0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:05.479 go tackle. It seems like Philly does you know, like 0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:08.680 they're not worried about anybody. They go do their thing. 0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:10.399 You know, Jarrett used to always say that we go 0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:14.120 run our stuff. Um, but I also seen every game 0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:17.600 the Cowboys have faced this year, every quarterback they face, 0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:21.680 they have to see where Parsons is. Yeah, so that's 0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:23.720 I think it's going to be an interesting part. Do 0:24:23.760 --> 0:24:26.720 the Eagles go and run their stuff or do they 0:24:26.760 --> 0:24:30.560 do they let Parsons dictate what they do and then 0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:32.679 go against it. You know, think I heard yesterday that 0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:36.480 their coach said he sits on every single place to 0:24:36.640 --> 0:24:39.280 know where Michael Parsons. And by the way, guess what, 0:24:39.400 --> 0:24:40.879 for the rest of this year and probably for the 0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:43.280 rest of his career, every team, if they're smart, we'll 0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:45.199 go to the line of scrimmage and identify where is it. 0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:47.640 Like the Cowboys won the Super Bowl nineteen ninety five 0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:51.840 because Larry Brown had nine interceptions, including three in the 0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:57.080 postseason because Dion was over there, and but Larry Brown 0:24:57.280 --> 0:24:59.679 stepped up because of all of that, and because of 0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:01.720 you know, Deonka take his guy and all that. And 0:25:01.760 --> 0:25:05.359 that's why Dorance Armstrong is the Larry Brown of this team. 0:25:05.359 --> 0:25:07.719 Like Dorance Army, if he can continue to do his 0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:10.320 thing if Tank and Mike are going over here, if 0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:13.639 Drrence keeps making plays over here, I mean same with 0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:16.600 like Anthony Brown, if Anthony Brown continues to do things 0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:19.520 with Treyvon Diggs over here. I mean, that's what's gonna 0:25:19.560 --> 0:25:22.520 make this a really, really good, great defense. It is 0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:24.960 a great difference. Obviously, we talked about Dalen Hurts and 0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:27.320 how how well he's playing right now. Where do you 0:25:27.320 --> 0:25:29.280 think he's improved most, Like, what part of his game 0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:33.200 is the accuracy has Yeah, and it's just not the numbers. 0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:36.320 It's just there's been times where when he's on the 0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:39.040 move he's thrown the ball very well. There were times 0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:41.000 where you could get him outside the pocket and he 0:25:41.040 --> 0:25:43.960 would just completely kind of fall apart with his accuracy. 0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:46.879 But he is he's got almost that that like that 0:25:47.200 --> 0:25:49.600 you know, that whippy arm too. You know he can bring. 0:25:49.640 --> 0:25:52.360 I mean it minds me back in the day when 0:25:52.680 --> 0:25:55.119 you know Randall Cunningham used to be with Philly and 0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:58.240 he was here for a minute, but that long that 0:25:58.440 --> 0:26:00.439 throwing motion, you know, you get and get a lot 0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:03.840 of generating, you get the body into and stuff. He's 0:26:03.880 --> 0:26:06.200 throwing some really pretty deep balls, they get this guy, 0:26:06.320 --> 0:26:09.720 this this Quez Walkins that they're gonna they're gonna test 0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:12.280 Dallas on a couple of these deep shots in this 0:26:12.280 --> 0:26:14.399 football game, just because they have the speed on the 0:26:14.400 --> 0:26:18.359 outside to do it. But his his accuracy and ball 0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:22.760 placement has really improved. How about this, These two stats 0:26:22.800 --> 0:26:25.680 that go right into what you're saying. Hurts is fifth 0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:29.200 in the NFL in completion percentage at sixty seven point 0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:32.240 nine percent, which you know that's not as great. I mean, 0:26:32.720 --> 0:26:34.600 completion percentage is not as big as it used to 0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:36.840 be because all these little pot passes and screens and 0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:40.880 all that. But you say that he's also he's second 0:26:40.960 --> 0:26:44.800 in the NFL in average per gain at eight point five. Yeah, 0:26:44.960 --> 0:26:47.520 so either he's chunking it down the field a lot 0:26:47.760 --> 0:26:49.800 or his guys are making a lot of yards after catching. 0:26:49.840 --> 0:26:53.240 Either way, that he's second in average gain and also 0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:56.920 fifth in completion percentage, that means it's working pretty well 0:26:56.960 --> 0:26:59.520 for them. They've got they've got some talented they've got size. 0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:01.959 With age J. Brown on the outside, he's gonna do 0:27:02.119 --> 0:27:06.560 ru well. Smith is more of a slot type move guy. 0:27:06.720 --> 0:27:09.200 The guy that could kill you is that Dallas Scott. Yeah, 0:27:09.240 --> 0:27:11.000 I was gonna ask you that it's hard to cover. 0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:13.600 It's hard to cover these tight ends. And we look 0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:15.520 at in the league and it's been it's been a 0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:18.720 trend Kansas City, all these teams that have these tight 0:27:18.840 --> 0:27:22.680 ends that make plays down the field underneath the gates, 0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:26.040 and they can run after catch. You know that that's there. 0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:28.399 I tell you there's plenty of passes where it's been 0:27:28.480 --> 0:27:31.160 run after catch with these guys the games I watched, 0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:34.560 you know, that's that's the thing. Catch tackle, catch tackle, 0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:37.040 you know, don't let them. The Cowboys did a great 0:27:37.080 --> 0:27:40.280 job with sception of the one play, the one time 0:27:40.640 --> 0:27:43.239 when Cooper cup caught caught the ball and went for 0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:45.360 seventy five yards. Other than that, they did a really 0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:47.680 good job of rallying and tackling. So when you think 0:27:47.760 --> 0:27:51.160 about these three wide these three receiving options A. J. Brown, 0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:55.160 DeVante Smith, Dallas Goddard, which you think is the toughest 0:27:55.200 --> 0:27:57.560 matchup for the cold so obviously, and then then I 0:27:57.600 --> 0:27:59.200 want to I want to be clear about this. It's 0:27:59.200 --> 0:28:02.199 not so much which one is the better player, as 0:28:02.280 --> 0:28:04.000 much as I want to know which one do you 0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:06.280 think based on how Dallas will have to defend them, 0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:08.719 can give them a lot goes. A lot of their offense, 0:28:08.760 --> 0:28:11.119 believe it or not, does go through Dallas Goddard. It 0:28:11.160 --> 0:28:14.040 really does. It's just it's just such an easy throw 0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:16.520 for this guy to make, you know, and really got 0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:18.600 somebody like curse on him who has done really well 0:28:18.600 --> 0:28:20.280 against some of the best tight ends in the league. 0:28:20.280 --> 0:28:24.080 Absolutely that that's your that's your. I just I think 0:28:24.080 --> 0:28:26.280 in this game. I think in this game it's it's 0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:29.639 he They're going to try and get, you know, Brown 0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:31.280 and stuff like that. I mean Brown. They threw a 0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:33.879 screen to Brown in the game. You know, Arizona dropped 0:28:33.920 --> 0:28:35.800 the ball, you know. I mean they've It's not that 0:28:35.840 --> 0:28:39.360 they always happens, but their wide receivers have had some 0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:43.480 problems with you know, the interception the Jacksonville game that 0:28:43.520 --> 0:28:47.800 went clanging off off Smith and our Pascal. It might've 0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:50.440 been Pascal. I'm sorry Zach Pascal. But yeah, I mean 0:28:50.520 --> 0:28:53.600 it's they. That's the thing about it is, though, the 0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:56.840 guy that's been the most sure handed for them has 0:28:56.880 --> 0:28:59.280 been Dallas Goddard. And can you match up with him. Yeah, 0:28:59.280 --> 0:29:01.400 you've got the guy with the safeties and stuff like 0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:05.479 that to be able to do that. I mean, I 0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:08.840 was gonna say, I feel like the Cowboys defense one 0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:11.920 of the best things that they have been doing is 0:29:12.320 --> 0:29:14.760 kind of when they get into like the field starts 0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:19.200 shortening and red zone area, even when they get around 0:29:19.240 --> 0:29:22.280 the thirties or so, right, is this a game where 0:29:22.600 --> 0:29:25.720 I mean, now you're at a point where you really 0:29:25.840 --> 0:29:28.480 really need to try to keep them out of that. 0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:31.840 And maybe they're they're not as successful as they've been 0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:34.640 with other teams, But now when you talk about punning 0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:37.920 and where you punt the ball, and you know where 0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:40.920 the offense has to come off the field, and now 0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:43.960 placement of the ball and all that. So yeah, it's 0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:47.600 I guess where I'm trying to get at is even 0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:50.080 though that has been one of the best areas for 0:29:50.120 --> 0:29:54.520 the Cowboys defense, is this a team that's actually not 0:29:54.600 --> 0:29:58.080 going to allow the Cowboys to be so successful there? Yeah, 0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:00.360 I think because when you get down the red zone 0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:02.760 with these guys, they'll they'll run the ball, and they'll 0:30:02.800 --> 0:30:05.120 run the ball with the quarterback. They got in a 0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:08.600 situation in the what game was that they were playing, 0:30:08.600 --> 0:30:11.280 It was the it was they had five they had 0:30:11.320 --> 0:30:15.200 five illegal mint five illegal men downfield penalties in the 0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:17.600 game Eagles. The Eagles did and I think it was 0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:20.200 I think it was the it was the it was 0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:22.400 between it was the Jacksonville game. I think it was. 0:30:22.760 --> 0:30:24.840 But I was watching. They kept getting trying to get 0:30:24.880 --> 0:30:27.959 guys downfield, and so all of a sudden, it's like, okay, 0:30:28.000 --> 0:30:30.360 then they get they kept getting backed up, and what 0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:32.160 do they do. They started just running the ball and 0:30:32.200 --> 0:30:35.320 they got in a situation where it was like, you know, 0:30:35.440 --> 0:30:37.560 first and twenty, and then they started running. And then 0:30:37.560 --> 0:30:39.920 the quarterback they got down in the red zone and 0:30:40.000 --> 0:30:43.160 it was like it was like third and goal to goal, 0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:46.080 but they were running from their own fifteen and the 0:30:46.200 --> 0:30:49.200 quarterback ran for like eleven and then he ran for 0:30:49.400 --> 0:30:52.280 five and they just powered that thing in with him running. 0:30:52.680 --> 0:30:55.440 So that's the thing about it. You can you could try. 0:30:55.560 --> 0:31:00.840 The quarterbacks ability to run really hurt you when you're 0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:03.400 when you're down there, especially in the red zone, because 0:31:03.440 --> 0:31:06.360 he's gonna pull it and then he's gonna take off. 0:31:06.360 --> 0:31:08.960 You're you're committing to stop in running backs or things 0:31:09.000 --> 0:31:11.000 like that, and he pulls the ball and he started 0:31:11.000 --> 0:31:12.600 and they do another thing that they get like in 0:31:12.720 --> 0:31:15.400 fourth down and one they put it. They do the 0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:17.760 Reggie the Bush push they do you know, they get 0:31:17.760 --> 0:31:20.000 they put it. They did touchdown last week, Yeah, they 0:31:20.360 --> 0:31:22.360 did it. They have a back that lines up right 0:31:22.360 --> 0:31:25.280 behind the quarterback and he just pushes the pot. I mean, 0:31:25.280 --> 0:31:28.520 they push the pot. They get just great surge on 0:31:28.720 --> 0:31:31.160 these plays and then they go no huddle on you too. 0:31:31.200 --> 0:31:33.680 So I know I'm saying a lot of things, but yeah, 0:31:33.720 --> 0:31:38.160 the red zone stuff is really dangerous because of the 0:31:38.200 --> 0:31:40.400 ability of a J. Brown to go get the ball, 0:31:41.120 --> 0:31:44.040 but the quarterbacks ability to run the ball. I think 0:31:44.040 --> 0:31:46.080 it's the thing. If you could keep him out of that, 0:31:46.080 --> 0:31:48.400 that's where he's That's where he kind of takes it 0:31:48.480 --> 0:31:51.680 upon himself to to to make these plays. I mean, 0:31:52.360 --> 0:31:54.480 is he the leading candidate for the MVP right now? 0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:57.080 I would say so him or Lamar Jackson, and I 0:31:57.120 --> 0:31:59.960 would go in there, Mahomes has been having he's playing them. 0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:03.160 Just look at numbers, yeah, Jackson, But yeah, but you 0:32:03.200 --> 0:32:05.520 look at your undefeated team right now, and also all 0:32:05.520 --> 0:32:08.160 that that stuff I was just saying about about passing, 0:32:08.240 --> 0:32:10.600 you know, you know, accuracy and all that stuff. But 0:32:10.680 --> 0:32:12.440 then you also look at it and he's you know, 0:32:12.640 --> 0:32:15.520 he's he's runch for two hundred and sixty six yards 0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:19.360 six touchdowns. But that those illegal man down fields. I 0:32:19.360 --> 0:32:22.080 mean I put that without even seeing the tape. I 0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:24.440 bet you a lot of that's on hurts because when 0:32:24.480 --> 0:32:27.400 you get those running quarterbacks like that, he's gonna take off. 0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:29.560 So the line, no, this is these are these are 0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:33.000 screens all these these are screens that go fit that 0:32:33.200 --> 0:32:35.880 like they're like they're set up like screens, and but 0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:39.040 the ball gets thrown forward and these guys are like 0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:41.440 already there, already down the field. Yeah. I was trying 0:32:41.440 --> 0:32:43.080 to make a the official what game it was? Man, 0:32:43.120 --> 0:32:44.920 I mean, these all these games going about hit, but 0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:46.840 there was like, I mean, they got to the point 0:32:46.880 --> 0:32:50.360 where the head coach Sianni was like losing his mind 0:32:50.400 --> 0:32:53.880 on the sidelines at the officials because they just kept 0:32:53.880 --> 0:32:56.080 calling it, just kept calling it, you know, And it 0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:58.440 was one of those one of those days. I hate that. 0:32:58.520 --> 0:33:00.720 I hate when you get a crew that that wants 0:33:00.760 --> 0:33:02.880 to kind of set the tone with a call. Yeah, 0:33:02.960 --> 0:33:05.040 you know, and we saw it in the Raiders game 0:33:05.120 --> 0:33:07.760 last year. Yeah, I would I would do something. If 0:33:07.800 --> 0:33:09.840 I was Mike mccurthy, I would go up to the 0:33:09.880 --> 0:33:13.400 officials and talk about the alignment though of my a 0:33:13.400 --> 0:33:15.760 loot of the tackles way back there, he's way back. 0:33:15.880 --> 0:33:19.320 I would I would immediately go and say, if you're 0:33:19.320 --> 0:33:22.000 gonna let him line up that deep, we're gonna line 0:33:22.040 --> 0:33:24.360 up that deep too. We'll just we'll just put our 0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:27.960 We'll put Tyler Smith, We'll line him up too. So, yeah, 0:33:27.800 --> 0:33:30.840 that's Jordan my Allott is having to line up deeper 0:33:30.880 --> 0:33:33.600 because he's not as quick. He's not as quick as 0:33:33.680 --> 0:33:36.479 Lane Johnson, so he has to cheat. He has to 0:33:36.600 --> 0:33:39.600 cheat to be able to get to the outside. All Right, 0:33:39.600 --> 0:33:41.120 we're gonna take our final break. When we come back, 0:33:41.120 --> 0:33:44.000 I want to talk offensive line, particularly the offensive line 0:33:44.040 --> 0:33:46.480 of the Cowboys opponents. I found this really interesting stat 0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:49.960 about these offensive or where these offensive lines of Cowboys 0:33:49.960 --> 0:33:53.040 have placed or have played rank. Right now, we'll talk 0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:54.400 about that when we come right back. This is Dallas 0:33:54.400 --> 0:33:58.960 Cowboys dot Com Radio. The season is finally here.

Checked this out Here's what I've found 0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:22.840 as I was looking through some of the numbers around 0:36:22.880 --> 0:36:26.960 the offensive line play for some of Dallas's opponent opponents. 0:36:27.160 --> 0:36:32.000 Cincinnati twenty ninth in sacks alloud, Washington thirtieth in sacks allowed, 0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:36.080 Los Angeles Rams thirty first in sacks alloud, even the 0:36:36.160 --> 0:36:40.000 Giants twenty fifth in sacks alloud. Question for you guys, 0:36:40.200 --> 0:36:42.560 do you think that these teams are so a rank 0:36:42.640 --> 0:36:45.440 solo because of the Cowboys or do you think they 0:36:45.480 --> 0:36:48.560 really are that bad and the Cowboys just took advantage 0:36:48.560 --> 0:36:52.160 of a poor offensive line. That's a good question because 0:36:52.280 --> 0:36:54.399 a lot of times that happens early in the year, 0:36:54.480 --> 0:36:56.400 and you have to factor that in, like we're the 0:36:56.440 --> 0:36:58.840 reason why you one of the reasons why your ranks. 0:36:58.680 --> 0:37:00.520 It may not be a coincidence that all the teams 0:37:00.560 --> 0:37:02.800 they've played or down the bottom of the league, but 0:37:02.880 --> 0:37:05.080 I think five games in, I mean that kind of 0:37:05.080 --> 0:37:07.040 goes to show that you know, and and also brought 0:37:07.120 --> 0:37:10.080 us his set it every time, like you know, this 0:37:10.120 --> 0:37:12.839 line has got some issues and so and they have 0:37:13.000 --> 0:37:15.120 and so even Tampa Bay, by the way, and so 0:37:15.160 --> 0:37:18.120 he saw those issues based off of other games. So 0:37:18.480 --> 0:37:20.960 I think it probably he does say that every week. 0:37:23.920 --> 0:37:26.120 So this off, I mean so I think it more 0:37:26.160 --> 0:37:31.680 than anything, the Cowboys have taken advantage of bad lines. 0:37:31.719 --> 0:37:35.720 Are decent to bad lines. This one has least issues 0:37:36.200 --> 0:37:39.560 played so far, but it's it has an issue like 0:37:39.600 --> 0:37:42.640 we were talking about. If in fact Jack Driscoll, if 0:37:42.719 --> 0:37:46.680 Jordan my Alatta is not healthy at left tackle, Jack Driscoll, 0:37:46.840 --> 0:37:50.600 you could take they will have two very light tackles. 0:37:50.920 --> 0:37:53.719 I mean light in a way of not very strong. Now, 0:37:54.160 --> 0:37:57.040 Lane Johnson is is a good player. Yeah, but there 0:37:57.400 --> 0:38:00.000 there has been some really really good They're all getting 0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:04.120 down the field. There's been some really good battles with 0:38:04.360 --> 0:38:09.520 UH with Tank and Lane Johnson and Lane Johnson. Tank 0:38:09.560 --> 0:38:12.360 knows how to play Lane Johnson. But Jack Driscoll is 0:38:12.400 --> 0:38:15.560 just hanging on to me personally. I if he's in 0:38:15.560 --> 0:38:19.239 this game, that's the guy I'm attacking right though. Yeah, yeah, 0:38:19.400 --> 0:38:21.520 you see sixty three in the game at left tackle. 0:38:22.040 --> 0:38:24.160 I'm doing everything in my part. But the thing about 0:38:24.200 --> 0:38:27.359 it is, if you're the Cowboys, if you get a 0:38:27.440 --> 0:38:32.200 free run at this quarterback, finish, Don't let him slide 0:38:32.239 --> 0:38:36.279 through or avoid and duck underneath or whatever. You've got 0:38:36.280 --> 0:38:38.520 to finish. I mean that that's the thing that could 0:38:38.600 --> 0:38:40.880 kill this I mean his you're right there, you have 0:38:40.920 --> 0:38:44.000 a great rush, the scheme works, and then you don't 0:38:44.080 --> 0:38:45.960 finish in the pocket. They've done a good job of 0:38:46.040 --> 0:38:48.440 doing that. But this guy kind of stresses you out 0:38:48.440 --> 0:38:51.840 that way because if you miss, he's going to be gone. 0:38:51.960 --> 0:38:54.600 He's gonna run and he's gonna and he's probably gonna 0:38:54.680 --> 0:38:57.200 probably put a big hurt on you for doing it. Well, 0:38:58.040 --> 0:39:01.400 that's a good point. There's good thinking outside the box 0:39:01.640 --> 0:39:05.719 looking into these staffs. But but yeah, yeah, but but 0:39:06.239 --> 0:39:08.719 I don't care about that. I'm gonna stick with the 0:39:08.719 --> 0:39:14.360 thought and believe that the Cowboys defensive line is just good. 0:39:15.080 --> 0:39:19.520 Yes that okay? So and that dominant you're not gonna 0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:25.160 know a yeah we did yeah yeah, um okay. So 0:39:25.200 --> 0:39:28.440 what happens then when the Cowboys do run up against 0:39:28.520 --> 0:39:31.200 because there's there's good offensive lines out there, there's some 0:39:31.280 --> 0:39:33.759 on the schedule. What happens when they run into those? 0:39:33.800 --> 0:39:35.719 And what happens if that's this weekend, let's say they're 0:39:35.719 --> 0:39:38.800 in full strength. What happens then? Because the way that 0:39:38.840 --> 0:39:41.719 they've been winning games more than anything else is they've 0:39:41.760 --> 0:39:44.600 been getting after the quarterback a half. So what happens. 0:39:45.680 --> 0:39:48.239 I just don't see a scenario. I mean, it's it's 0:39:48.280 --> 0:39:50.879 just won't be as easy, okay, But I just don't 0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:53.799 see a scenario where they completely shut them down and 0:39:53.880 --> 0:39:57.120 they're just protecting hers the whole time and it's like 0:39:57.280 --> 0:40:00.759 untouchable guy. I can't see that happen. And something's got 0:40:00.760 --> 0:40:03.640 to give. And I think that the Cowboys defensive line 0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:07.279 they have enough guys to be able to keep you 0:40:07.320 --> 0:40:10.840 on your toes, keep putting pressure and be successful at times. 0:40:10.960 --> 0:40:14.759 And they're not just gonna let you have like this 0:40:14.840 --> 0:40:19.240 whole game. You're taking over the game peacefully finding them. 0:40:19.280 --> 0:40:22.560 There's gonna be some pressure created in whatever way that 0:40:22.760 --> 0:40:25.800 dan Quinn is gonna figure things out. I totally agree 0:40:25.800 --> 0:40:28.759 with that. But in your scenario, what happens They get 0:40:28.800 --> 0:40:31.840 blown out? I mean, the Cowboys get their ass kicked 0:40:31.840 --> 0:40:34.640 and they lose bad. I mean, go look at Michael 0:40:34.719 --> 0:40:37.400 Jordan's record when when they he scores less than like 0:40:37.520 --> 0:40:39.839 fifteen points. I bet they. I bet the Bulls lost 0:40:39.880 --> 0:40:43.880 a lot. This team is predicated on Michael Parsons and 0:40:43.920 --> 0:40:46.600 this D line or getting after the quarterbacks asked, and 0:40:46.600 --> 0:40:49.719 if they can't do it. Then I don't see a 0:40:49.719 --> 0:40:52.000 four hundred yard game from Cooper Rush and they're gonna 0:40:52.000 --> 0:40:54.560 go and they just win thirty eight thirty five. Like, 0:40:55.080 --> 0:40:59.799 if that happens, then now let's starting that mately, start 0:40:59.840 --> 0:41:04.440 having that they win a game like this is one 0:41:04.440 --> 0:41:07.320 of those games. And we always talk about like measuring 0:41:07.400 --> 0:41:10.440 stick games. And it's kind of like when Carolina came 0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:13.000 in here with the number one ranked run defense and 0:41:13.080 --> 0:41:15.279 then you just smashed them on the ground last year, 0:41:15.440 --> 0:41:16.960 you know, and everybody's like, oh, that was not the 0:41:17.120 --> 0:41:20.800 number one, you know. So you know, if whoever wins 0:41:20.880 --> 0:41:23.360 this game, the other one is going to have the 0:41:23.480 --> 0:41:26.360 bragging rights. The defense is legitimately going to say we 0:41:26.520 --> 0:41:30.160 shut down other than maybe Buffalo or Kansas City or 0:41:30.280 --> 0:41:33.960 maybe the Ravens, we shut down the best offense in 0:41:34.040 --> 0:41:38.040 the National Football League. That's the bragging rights for the Cowboys. 0:41:38.480 --> 0:41:41.600 If it flips the other way in Philadelphia wins, you're 0:41:41.640 --> 0:41:45.040 going to hear the narrative coming out of Philadelphia, that's 0:41:45.120 --> 0:41:47.719 not the best defense we've played this year. Yep, you 0:41:47.800 --> 0:41:49.600 know that's you know, now you're going to start to 0:41:49.760 --> 0:41:52.520 hear now the doubt creeps in, Oh, is it only 0:41:52.600 --> 0:41:56.320 about a pass rush. Is it only bad bad offensive lines? 0:41:57.040 --> 0:42:00.160 You know, you win this game, everything is continue on 0:42:00.280 --> 0:42:03.720 the rise and you and you smashed a really good offense. 0:42:04.200 --> 0:42:06.360 You lose this game. Then all of a sudden that 0:42:06.560 --> 0:42:10.440 the doubt the doubters start talking about the stuff that 0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:13.359 n Nick was talking about. So as we've talked about 0:42:13.440 --> 0:42:17.279 Dayalen Hurtson's ability, Brian, you just mentioned it him kind 0:42:17.320 --> 0:42:19.400 of avoiding the rush and then he's out of the pocket. 0:42:19.880 --> 0:42:22.000 In a game like this, would you opt to say, 0:42:22.440 --> 0:42:25.440 I will be less aggressive with my rushers. I will 0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:28.040 muddle rush. I will tell them, yeah, you can rush, 0:42:28.200 --> 0:42:31.359 but rush very in a very disciplined way to make 0:42:31.400 --> 0:42:33.880 sure you maintain your gap integrity, to make sure you 0:42:34.360 --> 0:42:37.160 don't create lanes from him. Or do you just say, hey, guys, 0:42:37.160 --> 0:42:38.719 we're gonna do what we do, which is we're gonna 0:42:38.719 --> 0:42:40.440 get after the quarterback and if he leaks out a 0:42:40.480 --> 0:42:42.359 few times, we'll deal with that. Yeah. I think there 0:42:42.440 --> 0:42:44.359 has to be this is I hate riding the fence, 0:42:44.440 --> 0:42:46.120 but this has to be one of those balance acts 0:42:46.320 --> 0:42:49.680 where you're like, you show him aggressive, you show him aggressive, 0:42:49.680 --> 0:42:52.080 and then you muddle him where he's like he's stepping 0:42:52.200 --> 0:42:54.200 up and he's going back. I think the longer you 0:42:54.320 --> 0:42:56.799 make him hold the ball, the more panicky he will 0:42:56.880 --> 0:43:00.440 get it. So that's to me, I'm I'm coming after him, 0:43:00.440 --> 0:43:02.719 I'm coming out, and then I'm gonna make him feel like, Okay, 0:43:02.800 --> 0:43:04.840 you're in for this all day and then all of 0:43:04.880 --> 0:43:06.960 a sudden and you muddle rush him where it's not 0:43:07.320 --> 0:43:10.960 or then you have uh, you know, you have Donovan Wilson, 0:43:10.960 --> 0:43:13.160 you have a you know him spy and wait, you know, 0:43:13.360 --> 0:43:15.560 kind of hovering, waiting, waiting, waiting if the guy takes 0:43:15.600 --> 0:43:18.440 off run. I'm whoever spine that that's gonna be my 0:43:18.760 --> 0:43:20.719 my best tackler, whoever that is. I would have a 0:43:20.760 --> 0:43:24.560 spy every place. YEA, so to me attack, attack and 0:43:24.640 --> 0:43:27.960 then muddle muddle attack, attack, muddle muddle attack, you know, 0:43:28.280 --> 0:43:30.879 kind of just mix it up to where he does 0:43:30.960 --> 0:43:33.239 not get a feel for how you're playing him in 0:43:33.280 --> 0:43:35.319 this game. And I think the good thing about having 0:43:35.360 --> 0:43:38.000 this depth a safety is that you have multiple guys 0:43:38.080 --> 0:43:40.640 that can spy. Yeah, so it's not like, oh, well 0:43:40.840 --> 0:43:43.200 it's gonna be Donovan Wilson, or it's gonna be Curse, 0:43:43.320 --> 0:43:46.040 or it's gonna be Dot would be hooker. But you know, 0:43:46.160 --> 0:43:49.200 I mean even even Layton at times that scares me. 0:43:49.320 --> 0:43:51.719 But you know, yeah you might have he did. It 0:43:51.840 --> 0:43:53.759 was one week earlier this year where he actually came 0:43:53.880 --> 0:43:55.840 up and made a big sack that he was just 0:43:56.000 --> 0:43:58.719 basically waiting the quarter don't roll out somebody. We don't 0:43:58.760 --> 0:44:02.760 even we're not even talk like a Mukuamu or something 0:44:02.960 --> 0:44:08.440 like that, or you know he's put maybe bar yeah, CJ. Goodwin, 0:44:08.640 --> 0:44:10.400 Like I mean we've seen him like on Kamar. I 0:44:10.440 --> 0:44:12.759 mean we've seen things like that, so you never know. 0:44:12.840 --> 0:44:15.000 I mean it'll be it'll be a mixed bag. I 0:44:15.280 --> 0:44:17.640 just kind of feel like though to me, like the 0:44:18.120 --> 0:44:20.759 like this quarterback will run and he'll get as much 0:44:20.800 --> 0:44:23.520 as he can, but if he feels that like you're 0:44:23.640 --> 0:44:26.200 near him, he'll also get down real quick too. He's 0:44:26.200 --> 0:44:28.560 so insect time. Yeah, so if you're kind of if 0:44:28.560 --> 0:44:32.200 you're if if he breaks and he feels defensive pressure, 0:44:32.239 --> 0:44:34.560 he'll get down on the ground. So that's good. And 0:44:34.680 --> 0:44:36.840 similar to last week, I think the defense needs to 0:44:37.360 --> 0:44:39.640 set the tone right off the bat, like as soon 0:44:39.719 --> 0:44:42.400 as the game stars set the tone. And another thing 0:44:42.440 --> 0:44:46.960 that's actually scares me these pies the Cowboys offense running 0:44:46.960 --> 0:44:48.719 the ball and everything like that. There are times that 0:44:48.880 --> 0:44:52.239 the offense still like I look, they go in and 0:44:52.320 --> 0:44:54.040 the next thing I know, I look back up and 0:44:54.320 --> 0:44:57.920 they're about getting off the field. I'm like, that was it? 0:44:58.120 --> 0:45:00.680 What did they do? So it's like, how much is 0:45:00.760 --> 0:45:03.920 this defense? The Cowboys defense is gonna be getting tired 0:45:04.160 --> 0:45:07.520 playing in this kind of level. Going against the Eagles, 0:45:07.719 --> 0:45:09.719 They're gonna run no huddle. I know they are. They're 0:45:09.719 --> 0:45:11.920 gonna run no huddle. Almost everybody's done it. Yeah, they're 0:45:11.920 --> 0:45:13.600 gonna run no huddle because they don't want you to 0:45:13.719 --> 0:45:16.840 switch your personnel for sure. Yeah, all right, we appreciate 0:45:16.840 --> 0:45:18.799 you join us. We'll be back tomorrow. We'll get into 0:45:18.840 --> 0:45:22.000 the Philadelphia Eagle defense versus the Cowboys offensive and for 0:45:22.080 --> 0:45:24.000 Nick Eatman. Brian brought us an Amber Garcia.
