So let's get it rolling. 28 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 6: I want to start first today Brian with yesterday, Cowboys 29 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 6: make a roster move at a linebacker to the roster 30 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 6: Rashaan Evans. What do you have in the way of 31 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 6: a scattering report on this guy. 32 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm glad we got to finally do that. My 33 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 7: gang is seven or my general manager and player personnel friends. 34 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 3: Around the league, and I always kind of lean on them. 35 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 7: Because they're the ones that watch the tape and build 36 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 7: emergency boards and all that. Rashaan Evans was a guy 37 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 7: that when I asked him, I said, give me some 38 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 7: linebacker names. When vander Esch went down, Rashaan Evans was 39 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 7: the number one guy on four of the lists that 40 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 7: I of these general manager and player personnel friends I have, 41 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 7: and so I was good to you know, it's nice 42 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 7: to see it that way. Just kind of a thumbnail 43 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 7: on him. They was talking about how he you know, 44 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 7: he's an instinctive inside linebacker. He's got some thump to him, 45 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 7: high motor, high effort type of guy. 46 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 3: The thing that they talk about. 47 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 7: With him is everybody was mentioned he has played a 48 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 7: lot of football, and that's something when we start to 49 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 7: talk about, you know, Ambar always asks about, well, is 50 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 7: he going to be ready. Is he gonna be one 51 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 7: of these guys you bring in? Is he in shape? 52 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 7: Is he you know, there's all these questions the ramp up. 53 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 7: They make a really big deal about that, but everybody 54 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 7: feels like it's gonna be felt like that. Evans was 55 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 7: one of those guys that was ready to play, and 56 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 7: so that's you know, I could see why he was 57 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 7: first on a lot of these teams lists of their 58 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 7: emergency boards, and so it that that itself, I think 59 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 7: boats pretty well. But I think the thing that everybody 60 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 7: was talking about was about, you know, this guy is 61 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 7: a physical player. He will he will take on blocks, 62 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 7: he'll get off blocks, he'll play in the running game and. 63 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 3: The effort and the motor, all those things that you 64 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 3: kind of like in a player. 65 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 7: And they'll get him acclimated to what the Cowboys are 66 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 7: doing scheme wise, and then incorporate him and let him 67 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 7: go to work. So everybody that I talked to seem 68 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 7: to be on board with this. Look at the Cowboys. 69 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 7: They have a really nice track record with their pro 70 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 7: department and their ability to go out and find guys, 71 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 7: either find guys off the street, poach guys from other 72 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 7: teams or sign guys, trade for guys. 73 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 3: So I think they're on the right path with this signing. 74 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: Right now, Why was a guy like this available? 75 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 3: What was on the street? 76 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 7: You never know, you know, there's sometimes you get to 77 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 7: a point where maybe a guy's a veteran guy, and 78 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 7: you know, maybe there's maybe it's not the exact scheme 79 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 7: fit that you want, and there are other players to 80 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 7: become available. 81 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 3: You know, we've got this now with the. 82 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 7: XFL and the USFL that a little bit more of 83 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 7: an access to go out and get players. So maybe 84 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 7: some players that were with teams won't get an opportunity again, 85 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 7: or they get passed by because they're not the fit. 86 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 7: And scouting is not perfect, and we miss guys all 87 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 7: the time, you know, and maybe it's one of those 88 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 7: things where, Okay, we kind of have an idea what 89 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 7: he is. 90 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 3: He's an emergency board guy. 91 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 7: And in the cowboys sake, right now, are the Cowboys 92 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 7: where they are right now? They're they're in an emergency 93 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 7: just because of the lack of depth. But sometimes too, 94 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 7: you have a situation where these personal departments just kind 95 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 7: of pigeonhole a guy and put him to the side, 96 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 7: and then other teams are kind of like, well, wait 97 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 7: a minute, we know this guy, we have a history 98 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 7: with this guy. Oh, a coach knew this guy. You know, 99 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 7: that's George Edwards. Let's how you got Curse. You know, 100 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 7: George Edwards has a history had a history with Curse 101 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 7: at Minnesota, and so then you know, you sometimes you 102 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 7: get guys that way and it's it's it's it's not perfect. 103 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 3: But that's probably why he was on the street. 104 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 7: Teams not really thinking about him in a way that 105 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 7: now the Cowboys well, wait a minute, this is a 106 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 7: better fit. We've got to find something better. Of all 107 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 7: the guys that they were doubt, I'm sure he was 108 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 7: the best one on their list. 109 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 8: I think for those that are asking why why the 110 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 8: Eagles released him from the practice squad, it's just a 111 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 8: numbers game for the Eagles. Eagles as far as positional 112 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 8: content for them as practice squad, I mean, they're running 113 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 8: heavy on cornerback at the practice squad. They got three cornerbacks, 114 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 8: they got two three wide receivers. So it's just when 115 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 8: you look at that and the fact that they already 116 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 8: have a lineback, another linebacker and vansomerin on the practice squad. 117 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 8: They've already designated to Kobe Dean for a return. They're 118 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 8: expecting him back on the field. They just don't have 119 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 8: that need, but they have a need for CB depth. 120 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 8: They have a need to make sure the wide receiver 121 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 8: core stays strong as far as depth is concerned. So 122 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 8: when you look at it from their aspect, you look 123 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 8: at a guy one of the linebackers was probably going 124 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 8: to end up going and it just ended up being 125 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 8: Rashaan Evans. 126 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 5: Their loss is hopefully the Cowboys. 127 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, we had a chance to interview Brian Baldinger from 128 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 7: the NFL Network yesterday. I went to five to three 129 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 7: the Fan and we asked him his baldy is he 130 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 7: lives in that area that Philadelphia. He has that background, 131 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 7: and I believe Gavin Dawson asked him why why did 132 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 7: the Eagles move on? And to Patrick's point, absolutely right 133 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 7: about they're struggling at corner right now in their secondary. 134 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 7: But he was saying, you know, he gives. It didn't 135 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 7: feel like it was anything that was a negative as 136 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 7: far as he's a bad guy. He's you know, he's 137 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 7: he's being problems, he's being combative and all that. 138 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 3: No, it was just it was like Patrick was talking about, 139 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 3: it was very well put a numbers thing with them. 140 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 3: So Baldy was very very much a fan of the guy. 141 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 7: He has listen, I've seen him play at other places Tennessee, 142 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 7: he goes at one time. This guy was a force 143 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 7: to deal with when you watched him play. So hopefully 144 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 7: the Cowboys, you know, in week six, you know, catch 145 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 7: a break on one of these things. 146 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 8: I mean, the talent is definitely there, and this is 147 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 8: a guy who's not you know, he's used to the 148 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 8: big stage. I mean he comes from the Alabama program 149 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 8: and you know, uh, he understands the pressure of planting 150 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 8: and performing in the NFL. He's, you know, a first 151 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 8: round pick and I mean he's been there, done that 152 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 8: as far as sure is concerned. 153 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 5: And that's what he's coming into. A pressure packed situation. 154 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 8: Cowboys coming off of a butt whooping and they lose 155 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 8: their green dot you know, and LVE, which is also 156 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 8: one of their best run defenders. So yeah, he's being 157 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 8: asked to step in and do a lot. The ability 158 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 8: is definitely Their question is you know where is he at? 159 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 8: He's only twenty seven, so we're not talking about a 160 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 8: thirty two or thirty three year old. He's still fairly 161 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 8: young by linebacker standards, so there's still a lot of 162 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 8: potential for him to come in and be that impact guy. 163 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 8: But like we talked about on yesterday, I mean, there's 164 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 8: no point in pretending that you know one guy is 165 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 8: going to be the one that solves the LVE equation 166 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 8: until LV returns. But I will say Evans has as 167 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 8: good of a chance as anyone to at least help. 168 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 5: Didn't resolve that. 169 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 9: After the Sikh situation during the off season, heading into 170 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 9: training camp, him being still being available and team's not 171 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 9: really picking him up yet. I've changed my tune on 172 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 9: guys that are available, like becoming more open minded. 173 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, mercenaries, Yeah, k Y Hilton was a mercenary. 174 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 9: So you never know. And again seeks intention totally off 175 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 9: topic and his production in New England, it's been you know, 176 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 9: But the point is I've kind of become more open 177 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 9: minded about that and how you evaluate certain talents and 178 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 9: why you wrote there are still guys are are good 179 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 9: or can be good that are still available there out there, 180 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 9: but you always initially go into that. I thought, I 181 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 9: was like, well, if this person was any good, why 182 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 9: he's still out there in the streets. 183 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 8: But also keep in mind, I mean, free agency is 184 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 8: always a two way street. So you know, once he 185 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 8: was released from the Eagles and like that we're talking about, 186 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 8: it was a positional numbers game for them. They just 187 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 8: didn't need that depth at linebacker. He's released and now 188 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 8: he's able to pick and choose where he wants to go. 189 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 8: And then you know, Dallas comes up as the blinking 190 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 8: light they lose Lve. So maybe those other opportunities weren't, 191 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 8: you know, such as that you're being thrown in as 192 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 8: a starter. Maybe it was, oh, we was signing to 193 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 8: the practice squad and we'll you know, we'll see how 194 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 8: it goes. Now, even if the Cowboys do sign sign 195 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 8: him to the practice squad, he's going to get a 196 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 8: ton of burn he's getting early elevations often, he's getting 197 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 8: a ton of burns. So if you look at it 198 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 8: from that capacity, maybe he was waving off those others, 199 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 8: waiting for the right spot and this, you know, is 200 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 8: it works out wilful. 201 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, you hope this is uh, you hope this is 202 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 7: the reincarnation of an Alabama linebacker that was also a 203 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 7: first time pick. Going with this, Yeah, Rolando mcclan. 204 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 6: Dude has talking about having some thump to you. He 205 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 6: had dump to him. 206 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 7: But only my only thing that I'm so disappointed about 207 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 7: Rolando mcclan only no, no, no, no, man, Rolando mclan 208 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 7: was all right, Ye disappoint I ever got to go 209 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 7: fishing with him? 210 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I always wanted to go fish fish. He loved 211 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 3: the fish. 212 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 7: Like his house was on fire at one time and 213 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 7: I think he was fishing and he just kind of 214 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 7: watched it burn while he was fishing. 215 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 5: So that is Cray. 216 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 3: He's one of those guys. But no, Rwando McLain. 217 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 7: If they could find if you find out, we all 218 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 7: know about a big thumping linebacker That was Rolando mclan. 219 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 5: He's such a force, a continued force. 220 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 6: But you know what I love about this, this particular 221 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 6: move is the fact that I think the linebacker room 222 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 6: needs some veteran presence and I think you're bringing in 223 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 6: a guy that has some experience that could help Damon 224 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 6: Clark because you really want to see him develop in 225 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 6: only his second year. So I think this move could 226 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 6: be not only a guy that can of the best 227 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 6: of what's out there and available to you, but it 228 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 6: also can have other ramifications to help you kind of 229 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 6: develop some of your younger guys in that room without 230 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 6: having LV. 231 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 8: Because I mean a couple of weeks ago you brought 232 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 8: in Michael Jones. He's a younger guy. Can't necessarily give 233 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 8: too much mentorship to Damon Clark worked out Brandon Smith, 234 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 8: but Brandon Smith young guy. Submit some familiarity there from 235 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 8: the Penn State time he spent with Michael Parsons before 236 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 8: Michael opted out in twenty twenty. But I mean, when 237 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 8: it comes to the options as far as who has 238 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 8: a ton of NFL experience, Rashaan Evans sixty seven starts 239 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 8: and I think seventy three ish NFL games, former first 240 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 8: round pick, knows how to be dropped into a pressure 241 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 8: peck situation from a big program where he was an 242 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 8: All American talent. So I mean it's kind of a 243 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 8: no brainer that he would, like brand say, would be 244 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 8: at the top of several people's list, and the Cowboys 245 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 8: just kind of forratuitously looked into him because if he's 246 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 8: not available and you go into this, uh, this absence 247 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 8: of LV, you're kind of you're kind of up against it, 248 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 8: and yeah, you're you're going to ask the mon Clark 249 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 8: to step up and do more, but still trying to solve, 250 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 8: trying to fill that whole is going to be a challenge. 251 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 6: And just to give you an idea of the production 252 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 6: he had just last year while he was with Philadelphia, 253 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 6: he had eighty six tackles, not a bad year for 254 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 6: a linebacker. Had six tackles for a loss, uh, and 255 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 6: he had two sacks. So he's a guy that too 256 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 6: a little bit of production. And especially when you're talking 257 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 6: about this time of the year having to go out 258 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 6: and find somebody, I'll take that guy. That guy is 259 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 6: probably much better find. 260 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 3: You're not finding this sky in week thirteen. 261 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 2: Exactly, it's not that's it's not going to happen, exactly right. 262 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 8: And and his numbers, some of those were career highs. 263 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 8: His tackle tally last year career highs. And that includes 264 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 8: not only combined, but his his solo tackles a career high. So, 265 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 8: I mean he he had a very very solid you 266 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 8: last year. 267 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 6: And I said Philadelphi, I'm sorry Lana last year. All right, 268 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 6: let's go ahead and take our first break. When we 269 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 6: come back, we will jump into our breakdown. Brian tell 270 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 6: us what he's found about this is a lot of 271 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 6: Los Angeles charger offense and how it matches up with 272 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 6: the Dallas defense.

As a unit, Uh, 397 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 7: they they do things that we've kind of familiar with 398 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 7: with Kellen Moore, but you've noticed and the numbers will 399 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 7: tell you, but also on tape will tell you. They 400 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 7: run more slants, they run more go routes or vertical routes, 401 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 7: and they run more wide receiver screens. 402 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 3: Uh. They like to run the ball. 403 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 7: Out of the what the what we call a sidecar 404 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 7: where which is next to the quarterback, or they'll go 405 00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 7: pistol where they're directly behind, so you'll either see uh, 406 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 7: the running back next to you're justin Herbert there and 407 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 7: they'll hand him the ball on the inside or they'll 408 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 7: turn and spin and hand it to him from directly behind. 409 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 7: But that's kind of the two primarily ways that they 410 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 7: like to run the football. They're best players, Their best 411 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 7: offensive threats are Keenan Allen, Jared Everett, and then Austin Eckler. 412 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 7: In my opinion, I think these are the you know, 413 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 7: when you start to talk about the players that the 414 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 7: Cowboys have got to be alert for during this football game, 415 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 7: those are the three main guys I mentioned the quarterback there, 416 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 7: justin Herbert, He's he's one of these young and up 417 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 7: and coming guys, super talented. You can't draw them up 418 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 7: any better physically than what this guy looks. Total package 419 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 7: when it comes to his makeup, his skill. He's a 420 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 7: quick decision maker. He knows where he wants to go 421 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 7: with the ball. He's not going to hold it, he's 422 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 7: not going to delay in the process. He gets through 423 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 7: his reads quickly there and he'll deliver a strike. Physically, 424 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 7: he stands really tall in the pocket, but he's had 425 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 7: to share plays. If you watch the pressure plays that 426 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 7: he's dealt with, there's a lot of him getting out 427 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 7: of there and running and trying to make something happen. 428 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 7: He's going to find ways to escape. Cowboy's got to 429 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 7: be alert for that. He is willing to run, So 430 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 7: that might be a little bit of something you have 431 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 7: to keep an eye on. Right there. He could throw 432 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 7: on the line with deadly accuracy. He doesn't make the 433 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 7: receivers at all work for these balls. I mean, you know, 434 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 7: he usually puts it right where they need to be. 435 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 7: But you kind of make sure you get him on 436 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 7: the ground when you have the chance, because I've seen 437 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 7: him bounce off in the film and the Vikings had 438 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 7: him sacked and he's spinning around in the pocket and 439 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 7: the next thing you know, it's like a twenty five. 440 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 3: Yard pass down the field for a first down. 441 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 7: So got to wrap this guy up for sure when 442 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 7: you get the opportunity in the pocket. 443 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 3: I mentioned Keenan. 444 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 7: Keenan Allen, he's Herbert's go to guy, the quarterback rating 445 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 7: of one hundred and thirty point five when he's targeted 446 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 7: this guy and so he's yet to throw an interception. 447 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 7: By the way, when throwing the ball in Keenan Allen's direction, 448 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 7: Keenan's a strong handed catcher. This guy can't run out 449 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 7: of okay, He's just not He's not going to scare 450 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 7: you with his speed, but what he'll scare you with 451 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 7: is his initial burst off the line to gain some separation. 452 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 7: He makes his share of contesting catches. He's a dangerous player. 453 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 7: When you put him inside and you put him outside, 454 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 7: it really kind of doesn't matter because he'll body up 455 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 7: defenders and use his size as to his advantage. He 456 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 7: catches the ball well on the move, and he is 457 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 7: an outstanding finisher and they'll line him up all over 458 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 7: the place. Quentin Williams has kind of taken over for 459 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 7: Mike Williams. Mike Williams suffered a knee injury in the 460 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 7: Minnesota game, so you don't have to worry about Mikey loss. 461 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 7: That's a huge loss for them because he was having 462 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 7: a pretty decent year. But Quentin Williams, if you follow 463 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 7: the draft show here on our platform, we talked a 464 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 7: lot about. 465 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 3: Him last year from TCU. 466 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 7: He's got that downfield ability, he's got size, the body control. 467 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 7: He can be a difficult guy to handle in those situations. 468 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 7: He's kind of feeling his way right now as far 469 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 7: as learning how to deal with the press coverage stuff. 470 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 7: They'll knock him around a little bit. When corners walk 471 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 7: up on him, he kind of gets a little bit, 472 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 7: a little bit skittish, so you know, be ready to 473 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 7: maybe make it uncomfortable for him. Joshua Palmer is another 474 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 7: receiver there. He's like a he's got a running back building. 475 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 7: You have to almost do a double take when he's 476 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 7: out wide. You're like, waitnute, they got a running back. 477 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 7: Oh wait, that's number five. That's Palmer, So you have 478 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 7: to kind of you understand what you're getting. He's a 479 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 7: really good run after catch guy. He can make things 480 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 7: happen with the ball in his hands. He was that 481 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 7: way at Tennessee and he plays that way in the NFL. 482 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 7: He's much more of a faster guy than he really 483 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 7: is a quick guy, but you do see the ball 484 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 7: go down the field to him. I mentioned Gerald Everett, 485 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 7: the tight end. He's been outstanding for Justin Herbert early 486 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 7: this season. He's an h back move guy. He's got 487 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 7: the receiver movement and skills with the hands. You see 488 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,199 Speaker 7: him lining up in a lot of different spots. He 489 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 7: really excels when they get him in space. He's one 490 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 7: of the better receivers the Chargers have when it's creating separation. 491 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 7: If you look at those numbers and metrics, he's right 492 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 7: over four yards of separation. So he's opened a lot 493 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 7: in these routes and that's why that Herbert's able to 494 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 7: get him the football. You know, he's not the best blocker, 495 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 7: but he's not afraid to block. He's not afraid to 496 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 7: stick his nose in there. He's not going to just 497 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 7: smash you and then drive you out of the hole. 498 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 7: He's going to kind of get in the way and 499 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 7: try and turn you. Donald Parham is the other tight 500 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,719 Speaker 7: end at that but Param's been dealing with a wrist sprain. 501 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 7: It happened in the last game and they had the 502 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 7: week off. They're hopeful that by practicing all week that 503 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 7: he can maybe play in this game. But those the 504 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 7: two tight ends you have to worry about. I mentioned 505 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 7: Austin Eckler. I think he's I think he's a tremendous player. 506 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 7: You just watch him. He's he's been in the league 507 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 7: seven years now. He's dealing with a little bit of 508 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 7: a hamstring injury. He's a compact, tough runner. He's got 509 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 7: outstanding vision, patience, he could finish runs that way. He 510 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 7: could be a tough guy. To bring on the ground 511 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 7: due to his running style. He's built real low to 512 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 7: the ground and he's got a powerful lower body or 513 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 7: a base the leg drive the power. Where he's very 514 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 7: difficult to deal with is that he is around the 515 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 7: goal line when they hand him the ball, he finds 516 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 7: these creases. I know, people that play fantasy football love 517 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 7: this guy because he's always always scored touchdowns. He's one 518 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 7: of those guys that he kind of takes it off 519 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 7: tackle and it's kind of kind of muddy, and then 520 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 7: he jumps back inside and next thing you know, he's 521 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 7: in the end zone. 522 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 3: The good thing you meant. 523 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 7: But the good thing about him is Killen Moore doesn't 524 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 7: throw screens to their running backs. He'll throw screens to 525 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 7: the wide receivers. So but in the past, this guy 526 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 7: was really a good screen catcher. But you don't see 527 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 7: him catch the screens anymore. So that's kind of But 528 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 7: after watching McCaffrey catch that screen on that first and 529 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 7: fifteen player, whatever it was, don't be surprised if they'll 530 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 7: work it in some way. But this guy as a 531 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 7: real nose for the goal line. Their offensive line has 532 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 7: been a little bit of an issue for them and 533 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 7: it's it's funny because they're a team. They're a team 534 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 7: that has has invested in their offensive line. Rashawn Slater 535 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 7: and Zion Johnson are both first round picks and they 536 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 7: both play on the left side together. And but the 537 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 7: the the interesting thing is that Rashaan Slater has had 538 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 7: some problems in pass protection. Uh, he has not been 539 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 7: as good as we've seen him and the previous couple 540 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 7: of years, when I went back and watched the pressures, 541 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,959 Speaker 7: I'm just curious, there was a lot of times where Slater, 542 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 7: the left tackle, was having some issues. 543 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,239 Speaker 3: Now, you know, you're dealing with some teams that can 544 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 3: rush the passer. The Raiders can rush the passer, the 545 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 3: Vikings can rush the passer. The Cowboys can rush the passer. 546 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 7: So keep an eye on on Slater on that left 547 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 7: at that left tackle spot. And because there were some 548 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 7: times where they were getting the edge on him and 549 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 7: it was a struggle for him. 550 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 3: It is only because of his. 551 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 7: Athletic ability that it saved him from disasters a couple 552 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 7: of different times. Guy that I think is the weakest 553 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 7: of the group here is Trey Pipkins, who plays right tackle. 554 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 7: There was a number of times He's one of those 555 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 7: guys that gets way out over his feet when he 556 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 7: passed blocks. He's scared that people are going to try 557 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 7: and get by him, so he has to get his 558 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 7: hands on people quick, so he gets a little bit 559 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 7: over extended. So Pipkins would be the guy that I 560 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 7: would attack, but keep an eye on Slater. It's just 561 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 7: not been as clean in those games, those four games 562 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 7: that I watched on him. I was surprised the pressures 563 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 7: that he gave up, but that was that was something 564 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 7: that I didn't expect. My final thing is they're a 565 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 7: pull trap guards. We all remember Kellen Moore how he 566 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 7: used to run. He'd like to pull guys, especially down 567 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 7: on the goal line. They like to pull. Member Zach 568 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 7: Martin used to pull and trap and stuff like that. 569 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 7: They still do the same thing with the way they 570 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 7: do it with their guards and their tackles and so 571 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 7: they you know, they like to try and get that. 572 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 7: You know, that's something that we've seen before with Kellen Moore. 573 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 7: I will say this, I think Herbert and Eckler mask 574 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 7: for some of the blocking sens of this group as 575 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 7: a whole. 576 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 3: So we'll see if the Cowboys can take advantage of that. 577 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 6: I was going back and I looked at the game 578 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 6: that they had their worst passing day. It was versus 579 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 6: Las Vegas in Week four. During that game, they were 580 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 6: thirteen thirteen and Justin Herbert was thirteen of twenty four 581 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 6: fifty four percent completion rate. 582 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 5: Not very good. 583 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, only one hundred and sixty seven yards, one touchdown 584 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 6: in one interception. 585 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 2: What did you see in that game? 586 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 6: Particularly that maybe was the reason why they had their 587 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 6: worst production. 588 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 3: I think it was it was the pressure that they 589 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:35,239 Speaker 3: were dealing with. 590 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 7: They did not handle the Vegas off the Vegas defensive line, 591 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 7: Max Crosby's hand, Max Crosby to deal with. I'm sorry, 592 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,479 Speaker 7: and I don't mean to curse like that, but it 593 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 7: really is. I mean, he is a problem to deal 594 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 7: with because what happens is the way that Vegas moves 595 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 7: them around and they've got guys that they've got inside, 596 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 7: guys that caused pressure to get pushed. When you're bad 597 00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 7: at both tackle spots. We saw that when you played 598 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 7: the Giants in Week one. When you're bad at both 599 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 7: tackle spots, you know that makes sure it makes makes 600 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 7: your scheme your your your offensive scheme looked really poor. 601 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 7: The Vikings did the same thing. I mean, the Vikings 602 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 7: were able to get pressure on these guys as well. 603 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 7: It's just teams should have that type of pass rush 604 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 7: ability and I remember the Titans game of that being 605 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 7: is effective and the Titans could rush the pass a 606 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 7: little bit, not like not like the Raiders can't. But 607 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 7: with Crosby, they they just that was a big, big 608 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 7: issue for them. They were able to take advantage of this. 609 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 7: And it was a home game too for the Chargers, 610 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 7: which you know you would think, oh, maybe crowd noise 611 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 7: got it, maybe something was a problem there. 612 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 3: No, it was. 613 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 7: It was a home game for the Chargers. It just 614 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 7: didn't do a very good job of handling that. That 615 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 7: the key elements of what the Raider Raider defensive line 616 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 7: presents to you. 617 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 6: So that being said this week, where I mean talking 618 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 6: about Google mic go back to linebacker this week that 619 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 6: maybe you say, hey, let's just mix the safeties in 620 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 6: and let them be lined back with the mount Clark 621 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 6: Unlet's keep keep Micah rushing the passes. 622 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 7: Honestly, I feel like that to me, the offense is 623 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 7: going to dictate how your defense plays in this football game. 624 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,400 Speaker 7: You've got to find a way to get ahead, put 625 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 7: points on the board. The Chargers are capable of coming 626 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 7: back in games, but you've got. 627 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 3: To find a way to make them. 628 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 7: The forty nine Ers were never behind, never behind, and 629 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 7: that way it kind of dictates the way that they play. 630 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 7: They could do things. And you know with that, you know, 631 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 7: if you make if you make the Chargers one dimensional. Yeah, 632 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 7: their quarterback's good enough. Yeah they have skill guys and 633 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 7: all that, but yeah, the pressure. I've seen pressure give 634 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 7: them problems, you know, And but we saw pressure give 635 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 7: San Francisco problems. It's a matter of can your offense 636 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 7: generate enough points and continue drives and then make the 637 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 7: Chargers kind of become a one dimensional team. Hey, don't 638 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 7: let them be balanced, you know, make them throw the 639 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 7: ball where you can maybe take advantage of that pass rush. 640 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 8: Your corners are definitely going to have the work cut 641 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 8: out for them, and your linebackers as well, because obviously 642 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 8: what looms large is the likely return of Austin Eckler, 643 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 8: which marries to the absence of Lve And we'll get 644 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 8: to the injury update. I have an injury update here 645 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 8: in the moment, so you will Rashaan Evans play and 646 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 8: if he plays this coming Monday, you know, how quickly 647 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 8: can he get into dan Quinn's system. What does it 648 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 8: look like for Damon Clark to have more snaps? What 649 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 8: does it look like for Malike Jefferson to be thrown 650 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 8: into the fire in a big way in that capacity. 651 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 8: But I will also say that when it comes to 652 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 8: trying to contain the run game, I'm sitting here and 653 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 8: I'm looking at next Gen Status, and I was looking 654 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 8: at it yesterday and I just wanted to revisit it 655 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 8: during Brian's excellent scouting report. Unlike the Cowboys, who are 656 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 8: still trying to figure out things in the offensive back 657 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 8: field with Tony Pollard, and you want to mix in Hunter, 658 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 8: you want to mix in Douce Far, the Chargers don't 659 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 8: do any of that. They look at the single back 660 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 8: and they say, it's your game. You're going to have 661 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 8: to make this happen for us. 662 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 5: They don't run. 663 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 8: They've literally run zero from A twenty one. They've run 664 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 8: zero twenty two personnel. Contrarily, the Cowboys, as they're trying 665 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 8: to figure things out, they've run nineteen plays through these 666 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,239 Speaker 8: first five weeks from twenty one. And I say that 667 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 8: to say in twenty one being a two back set. 668 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 8: What I'm saying that is what I'm saying is if 669 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 8: the Cowboys can find a way to at least contain Eckler, 670 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 8: they don't have to worry about the duality of, oh, 671 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 8: well it's a two back set, who's the blocker and 672 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 8: who's the decoy and who's getting the ball. It's just 673 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 8: a matter of saying, we got to stop this guy. 674 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 8: So from that capacity, it makes it a little bit 675 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 8: more decisive. Then the execution comes into play. But to 676 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 8: Brian's point, Eckler is he's more than a half full 677 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 8: so you got a key in on him. But at 678 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 8: least you know that they run typically a single back 679 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 8: when they have a back back there, so not much 680 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 8: the k in on, but the one you got a 681 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 8: key in on is. 682 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 5: A big deal. 683 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, we've seen it before. We've lived this with Kellen Moore. 684 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 7: What happens when he wants to play with the fullback. 685 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 7: He'll put a tight end back there, right, you know, 686 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 7: all of a sudden, he'll he'll put Parham back there 687 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 7: in the backfield and be a league block and it 688 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 7: won't be effective. They're better off running out of a 689 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 7: single back back then they are running with a tight 690 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 7: end that gets in the way of Eckler trying to 691 00:30:58,800 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 7: find the hole. 692 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 8: And really quickly because I know we got to go 693 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 8: to brick. See I'm feeling that I'm feeling the flow there. 694 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 8: Lve is heading to IR. That's been confirmed this morning 695 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 8: by Mike McCarthy. Nashawan Wright will see his practice window 696 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 8: opened this week, so he will have twenty one days 697 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 8: to show that he's ready for active roster, otherwise he 698 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 8: has to revert to season ending injured reserve. Peyton Hendershot 699 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 8: is now a candidate for IR with that ankle injury, 700 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 8: so that is very very interesting. Likely means, obviously, Sean McEwan, 701 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 8: do they sign him to the active roster and you 702 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 8: know what's about to be some roster shuffling because of 703 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 8: IR moves. Cavante Terpin will start today with the rehab group, 704 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 8: but he has a chance to practice, and Mike McCarthy 705 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 8: said that Cavante is beating down the door to actually practice. 706 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 3: So it's amazing. 707 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 7: I thought that ankles brand thing came off high ankle 708 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 7: for six you say the word high ankle, I'm thinking 709 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 7: it might as well just be broken, you know. 710 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 3: For anything. Well, some things that's okay. 711 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 7: But you know, but this but this particular case, I 712 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 7: mean I thought the absolute worst watching him go off 713 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 7: that field there and listen to your guys reports, you know, 714 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 7: from the from the locker room. 715 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 2: Well, I will say this. 716 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 6: Nick reminded me, we've seen a player come back within 717 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 6: a week of a high ankle sprain. 718 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 2: We saw I think it was Jason Witten do it. 719 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, and. 720 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 6: Player I can't remember, Yeah, I know, got played with 721 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 6: last k explain. So yeah, he's a little different than 722 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 6: most people. But Nick Mixon mentioned one other guy and 723 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 6: I couldn't remember who it was. It was another player 724 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 6: he mentioned as well that came back pretty quick off 725 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 6: of high ankle sprain. But obviously it's a little different 726 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 6: when you're Cavante Turpin and your best as set is running. 727 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 6: That's a little different like coming back from a high 728 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 6: ankle sprain that quickly. 729 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 2: But we'll see, we'll see. 730 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 6: Hopefully he can he can get it together and he 731 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 6: can play this week.

Yeah, And all the 861 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 7: sudden when the thing that worries me, if we could 862 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 7: circle back about what Patrick was talking about or you 863 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 7: were talking about the seams and the linebackers, is the 864 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 7: fact that you saw the other day and I don't 865 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 7: know really if it's a seam passed, but with the 866 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,800 Speaker 7: way that Kittle, the way that Kittle got across into 867 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 7: an area where it went middle to seam, you know, 868 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 7: and all of a sudden, you're you're, you're you're you're 869 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 7: not seeing it right, You're not you know, and we're 870 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 7: all were kind of having questions like is it Hooker's 871 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 7: guy or is that there's bell supposed to. 872 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 3: Carry that guy? 873 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 7: And that's when all of a sudden that if you 874 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,400 Speaker 7: have a quarterback that's what was the word use lethality? 875 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 3: What was lethality? It's impressive. But you're like, yeah, but 876 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 3: see that's what I'm saying it. 877 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 7: You just worry is that something that now other teams 878 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,320 Speaker 7: are going to see like, oh well, hey they can't 879 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,879 Speaker 7: they can't deal with drop depth of the linebacker. Wait, 880 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 7: the safety is looking at two different things. They're getting 881 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,840 Speaker 7: put in bad spots. Yeah, I could say it the 882 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 7: great deyodaan is Michael Parson sacking the guy before it 883 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 7: gets to being that problem in the secondary, or somebody 884 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 7: sacking that guy before it gets to be a problem 885 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:11,400 Speaker 7: in the secondary. 886 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 5: Yeah. 887 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,799 Speaker 6: So when you look at that, Brian, I look at 888 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 6: it and I'm like, this is not just a one 889 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 6: game problem. We've seen throughout this year, even in some 890 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 6: of the games where they won where receivers get lost 891 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 6: like they there's the defense kind of loses them. And 892 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 6: what we've heard from them in the post game has 893 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 6: been communication. Yeah, communications wasn't right. I mean And in 894 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 6: Arizona game, got a guy that's just wide open and 895 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 6: again it was a crossing type route and they just 896 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 6: lost him. And that's one of those situations where I 897 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,839 Speaker 6: am getting a little bit concerned and you talk about 898 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,399 Speaker 6: what the players are thinking, I do start to wonder 899 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 6: if the players start thinking like there's there's maybe there's 900 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 6: too much that they're thinking about and maybe in some 901 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 6: respects they're gonna have to dial this down a little bit, 902 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 6: to simplify things a bit, because there is this lack 903 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 6: of communication or understanding or something in these moments in 904 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,080 Speaker 6: games where you're getting guys who are just getting it 905 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 6: open because they're just busted plays, and they're busted plays 906 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 6: in the secondary well other. 907 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 9: Than the injuries, it makes me wonder what a game 908 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 9: was it was it against Arizona where like guys looked 909 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 9: confused or like Mike I was lining up. So it 910 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 9: just makes me wonder how what is different really aside 911 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,320 Speaker 9: from injuries, Like what is different when you had such 912 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,400 Speaker 9: a connected, tight group in sync, And by that I'm 913 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,839 Speaker 9: specifically talking about when they're on the field acting and 914 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 9: everybody reacting. We talked about, like literally starting the season, 915 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 9: how every single player was having a good day. Everyone 916 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 9: made a play, tackle, got the ball, did something, and 917 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:53,320 Speaker 9: it was all around an unanimous great effort from everybody. 918 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,360 Speaker 9: But then all of a sudden you start seeing games 919 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,719 Speaker 9: like that, Like, aside from obviously the opponent and what 920 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,319 Speaker 9: they're doing when it comes to communication and all of that, 921 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 9: what has changed. 922 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 8: Which changed and those two losses what I pinpointed was 923 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 8: the fact that the Cowboys have so many quote unquote 924 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,239 Speaker 8: dogs on the defensive side of the ball, so that 925 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 8: when they get down and out, everybody wants to be 926 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 8: the hero. Everybody's chasing the big play. That's the difference. 927 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 8: When you're blowing out the New York Giants, you don't 928 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 8: have to chase the big play. You just get to 929 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 8: play football and then you can go out there and. 930 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 5: Kick them butt. 931 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,280 Speaker 8: Same thing against the New York Jets, same thing against 932 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,800 Speaker 8: the New England Patriots. But when you start struggling and 933 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 8: get punched in the mouth by the Cardinals, and then 934 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 8: you need in your offense is also struggling, and now 935 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 8: you start feeling that pressure to score defensively and get 936 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 8: those extra takeaways you want to be you're trying to 937 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 8: be the guy to do it. On the very next play. Well, 938 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 8: then maybe you're too aggressive on your pursuit for a 939 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 8: tackle and then you chase the wrong shoulder and now 940 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,640 Speaker 8: it's to the house or whatever the case may be. 941 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,759 Speaker 8: So in those losses, this is why it's key that 942 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 8: the Cowboys. Why I should say this way, that's why 943 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,760 Speaker 8: one of the biggest cas for the Cowboys continued success 944 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 8: is they have to play from in front as opposed 945 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 8: to behind, because once they start playing from behind, everybody 946 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 8: wants to be the hero. And yes, you have a 947 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,319 Speaker 8: defense full of guys who can be the hero. But 948 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,319 Speaker 8: the more you chase the big play, the less likely 949 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 8: you will get the big play. What's more likely is 950 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 8: that you're going to give up the big play. 951 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 6: All right, let's get our picks. See what everybody thinks 952 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,480 Speaker 6: is going to happen this week. Cowboys travel to Los 953 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 6: Angeles take on the Chargers Monday night football. 954 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 9: Amber, What do you say, sure, I'll start holding on 955 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 9: to the good times and to the stat of holding 956 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 9: on to that and holding on to the stat of that. 957 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:47,239 Speaker 9: The Cowboys are nine and one or I think that's 958 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 9: ten and one of wins after a loss, so they 959 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,480 Speaker 9: have shown a tendency to be able to come back 960 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,359 Speaker 9: and win after they get bit beaten. 961 00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 3: Too. 962 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 9: But I'm choosing a victory. I'm choosing a win for 963 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 9: the Cowboys. I think we will get a tight, like 964 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:17,360 Speaker 9: a close game score, maybe something like twenty three twenty. 965 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. I think the I think it's gonna come down 966 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,319 Speaker 3: to a game winning field goal for the Cowboys. I 967 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 3: think Aubrey's gonna have to knock one home. It might 968 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 3: have to be for some distance, you know. I think 969 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:27,480 Speaker 3: it's it's one of. 970 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 7: Those games where I've I've got this, I've got this vibe. 971 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,640 Speaker 7: I keep hearing the number keeps going in my head 972 00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 7: of you know, twenty seven to twenty eight, something like that. 973 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 5: You're doing the fortune Tiller things. 974 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go Dallas twenty seven 975 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 7: to twenty four. 976 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,799 Speaker 8: In this one, I thought the Cowboys had a good 977 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,320 Speaker 8: chance of escaping with a close win against San Francisco. 978 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,560 Speaker 8: But I knew that that would be a tough one, 979 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 8: and I thought it'd be emotionally draining, and I said 980 00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 8: it out loud, you know, off the air, but I said, 981 00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,120 Speaker 8: they're going to win to San Francisco and that's going 982 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,800 Speaker 8: to cost them the charger. But Brian made an excellent 983 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,960 Speaker 8: point I think last week when he said, you typically 984 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,200 Speaker 8: lose the ones you aren't supposed to lose, and you 985 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:09,920 Speaker 8: win the one when the ones you're not supposed to win. 986 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 8: I think that the flips they lost against San Francisco, 987 00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 8: and in the fashion in which they did, they have 988 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,719 Speaker 8: no choice but to bounce back. I believe wholeheartedly the 989 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,600 Speaker 8: defense will bounce back. I don't think they want that 990 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 8: reputation of getting their butt kicked two weeks in a 991 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:27,239 Speaker 8: row offense and heading into the by offense. I don't 992 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 8: know yet. So because I don't know about the offense, 993 00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 8: this is going to be a low scoring game. I 994 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 8: think the Cowboys win it on an Aubrey kick. I 995 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 8: agree with you there, but I think it's twenty to seventeen. 996 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,759 Speaker 8: I think defense does their job. Offense just I don't 997 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 8: know yet. 998 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,960 Speaker 7: That's the There's a side of me that could have 999 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,959 Speaker 7: very easily picked the Chargers game. 1000 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,400 Speaker 2: I think we all think it's going to be a 1001 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:47,680 Speaker 2: close game, however it goes. 1002 00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:49,880 Speaker 7: I just don't trust the offense right now, to be 1003 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,160 Speaker 7: honest with that, and I just did because of the again, 1004 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 7: the ten and one. 1005 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 3: I think there's some merit to that. That's just not 1006 00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 3: hollow numbers. 1007 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 7: They do find a way to play, right, They better 1008 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 7: find a way to play better because they're three and 1009 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 7: three coming back. There's gonna be some hell to pay 1010 00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:03,880 Speaker 7: in that off week. 1011 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 8: Especially if the Eagles continue to win. They're going to 1012 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 8: start getting distanced, putting a gap and put space between 1013 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 8: one and two. 1014 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,239 Speaker 6: So I also agree Cowboys win, but I think it's 1015 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 6: a very close game. 1016 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 2: I think it's a lower scoring game. I have a 1017 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:16,240 Speaker 2: seventeen sixteen. 1018 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,799 Speaker 6: It's going to be just it's gonna be a defensive game, really, 1019 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,959 Speaker 6: I think, because like you said, Patrick, I've not seen 1020 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 6: anything yet that gives me confidence that this offense is there, 1021 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:28,719 Speaker 6: and so I think this is gonna be a game 1022 00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,120 Speaker 6: where it's going to have to be the defense and 1023 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 6: they're gonna have to make some plays, and I think 1024 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,360 Speaker 6: they will. I think they'll respond well, and the history 1025 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,000 Speaker 6: is on their side, and like what they've done over 1026 00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,759 Speaker 6: the last two years, two and a half years, is 1027 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 6: we know when they lose, they come back the next week. 1028 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,120 Speaker 2: And they give a really great effort. 1029 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:44,000 Speaker 5: They usually get a win. 1030 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:44,919 Speaker 3: Better figure it out. 1031 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, So we'll see what happens is Monday. Till then 1032 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 6: for Patrick Walker, Brian brought us Ambergarcia.
