I don't get up a Texan. Yeah, 21 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: I don't feel any extra juice for this. All right, 22 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: Well you can just lay out on this part while 23 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: I'm saying this might bee no this And you're not 24 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: a Texan either, so you can lay out too if 25 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: you want to. You'll feel it. You'll feel it when 26 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: you get to the stadium. Though. Yeah, it's gonna be. 27 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: It's gonna be one of those. It's gonna be a 28 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: really good one. Not Texas either. I mean you grew 29 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: up in Texas. I grew up here. I'm here in Southwest, 30 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 1: but I've lived in Texas. It moves around a little bit, 31 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: gets more than yes, sorry, I didn't mean it like 32 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: it's been in Texas for a long time. Yeah, more 33 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: double any other part of my life. So yeah, twenty 34 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: But you're a text definitely, and you appreciate games like 35 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: this just because you know this is um, this isn't 36 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: really like oh you Texas. This is more like you 37 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: know Texas and Texas tech maybe yeah, well well Texas Texas, 38 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: yeah yeah kind of yeah, And it is No, it 39 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: honestly is though. And I noticed that living in Houston 40 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: all my life. This rivalry, if you want to call 41 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: it that, between Houston and Dallas is way more on 42 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: the Houston side than is on Dallas side. On the 43 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: Houston side, people look at the Cowboys and they hate 44 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: if they're not Cowboy fans, because they're a bunch of 45 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys fans in Houston. But if they're not Cowboys fans, 46 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: they hate the Cowboys. I mean hate the Cowboys. I 47 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: don't think Cowboys fans really look at the Texans and 48 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: are like, we hate the Texans. They're kind of well, okay, yeah, 49 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: we kind of hate them because they're around the corner. 50 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: But I don't think it's that big a deal to Cowboys. 51 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: Every column about that yesterday, how they should play every year, 52 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: and I think it ranks eight create one. It ranks 53 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: eighth on our list of top ten columns from Yesterday, 54 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: Stories from Yesterday. Who cares? But I'll tell you this, 55 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: if if the NFL took your idea and they said 56 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: every team in the league's gonna play a rivalry game 57 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: every year, that's gonna be every year you play it, 58 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: and you're looking for people in your geographic area or 59 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: have some connection to you, and you play that game 60 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: every year, I guarantee you within a matter of five 61 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: to ten years, would be a very strong rival. Would 62 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: probably be as big as some of the division rivals, 63 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: just because you have that in connection. There are people 64 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: you know personally who are on the other side of 65 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: that rob that creates great rival thinking about every office, 66 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: but from Dallas to Houston, that's got fans that are 67 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: you know, it's like a big game. It's like and 68 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: it happens, but there's a Giants fan somewhere or whatever. 69 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: But for the most part, if you're in Austin, I 70 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: would imagine a lot of Texans fans like a Cowboy fans. 71 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: So it's kind of just creates an excitement for the week. 72 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: But you'll feel it when you go to the almost 73 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: said reliant what do they call in that and our 74 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: energy energy? And if I was the NFL, I would 75 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: even make it like I would make that those games 76 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: all played on one weekend and I would call it 77 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: rivalry Weekend, and I would people that thing up and 78 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: have so much fun with it. Fans would have a 79 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: special time with that. A lot of people don't want 80 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: to hear this, especially Cowboys fans, because those NFC East 81 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: rivalries are so important. And you know, I'm from New 82 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: Orleans like things. Fans live to hate the Falcons, but 83 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: everybody's got one. But I would do away with divisions, 84 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: and I would if it were up to me, I 85 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: would have every team in each conference play everybody, so 86 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: you play fifteen games against the NFC and then you 87 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: have a permanent AFC rival. So for the Cowboys, it 88 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: could be the Texans. For the Steelers, it could be 89 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: the Eagles. For the Giants, it could be the Jets. 90 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: Just way fairer division the divisions, for sure. But that's 91 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: what I would do. Yeah, but I think it's it'll 92 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: be fun this weekend. Is this freezing press box? Yes? 93 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: Bringing jackets, bringing jacket? Oh yes, they were in pre seasons. Yep, 94 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: I hate Yeah, you were up there free stadium. I 95 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: had a jacket on the I'm bringing I'm bringing a parka. 96 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: It was there. I thought the coldest press box in 97 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: the stadium was Detroit before that, or New Orleans. It 98 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: was to a pretty cold, but then it was cold 99 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: and then well, I both have something in common because 100 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: you're both sitting up up by the ac events. I 101 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: hope you don't have a problem with heights. If you're 102 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: working in the press box in those stadiums, you think 103 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: this game will be more entertaining than the last time 104 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: we were in Houston. Yeah, yes, watching, Yes, really that's 105 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: what you're talking. I mean, is that what I was asking? 106 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: Is that what you're talking about the last game? Like, well, 107 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: I mean there was something that happened in that game 108 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: that actually was meaningful. Made the team when he made 109 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: the team, Yeah, he made that kick, and it's like, 110 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: you know what, we should cut Dan Bailey. I think 111 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: that happened somewhere. You literally think they were sitting there 112 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: watching that game and somebody said, you know this, Dan 113 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: Bailey guy may not be as important to us as 114 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: I think it was. Like it was like, you know what, 115 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: remember what we talked about the other day. I think 116 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: maybe we should do that. Maybe it's kind of like 117 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: that look where you're sitting there with with people friends 118 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you both kind of look 119 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: at each other like yeah, like yes, yeah, did you 120 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: just see that. Um, maybe we need to rethink this 121 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: a little bit. I think that's exactly what happened. It 122 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: doesn't change the fact that that game. So I hate 123 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: that game every year, though. The fourth game of the 124 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: preseason is the worst. It really is brutal. All right, 125 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: let's jump into it though, we're talking Cowboys Texans. Before 126 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: we get to Dave's breakdown out of the Texans defense 127 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: versus the Cowboys offense, we got to go through the 128 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: injury report yesterday. The guys that did not practice included 129 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: Travis Frederick, which was expected, Sean Lee, which was expected, 130 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: and Terrence Williams, who we've been talking about. I don't 131 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: know that there's any more clarity on why he's missing. 132 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: It's just not injury related. Do we know anything more? Uh, 133 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: sort of, we know he's not practicing again today, and 134 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: we know that we know that they're they're now saying 135 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: that his foot injury has been reaggravated, the one that 136 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: he had repaired in the off season. So is he 137 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: gonna be added to the injury report as an actual 138 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: injury rather than not injured. I wouldn't really surprised if 139 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: he's got foot next to his name this afternoon instead 140 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: of not injury related. He question did he reinjure it 141 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: not practicing? I think he reinjured it that I think 142 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: it's been something that's been aggravating him maybe and I 143 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: mean and credit the terry. Why would they be telling 144 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: about personal issues. I mean, that's that they're in. They're 145 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: in lives the rub Amber. There's about nineteen things going on. 146 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: He's like, how did I end up being the Actually 147 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: a pet peeve of mine is when I tell you 148 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: what the cowboys are saying and you come back at 149 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: me like it's my fault, Like I'm not. I'm not. Literally, 150 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: it's my job to report the news to you, and 151 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: I'm telling you they're saying he reaggravated his foot. There's 152 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: still speculation that he might be suspended. Uh, there's speculation 153 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: that he's it's not speculation. They said he was dealing 154 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: with some off field stuff. Jason Garrett said that himself. Uh, 155 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, and I don't remember, I said Dave, 156 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: like I didn't realize that was fun. I do not 157 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: remember so much uncertainty and speculation surrounding a guy that 158 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: has contributed so little to a season, except for maybe 159 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: when they signed Bryce Butler two weeks ago and everybody 160 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: lost their mind. Um, I don't know. I think I 161 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: said this yesterday like something's got to give and it 162 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: will eventually. I don't and that doesn't necessarily mean Terrence 163 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: will go to IR or be suspended or whatever. Like 164 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: maybe this will resolve itself and he'll continue to play. 165 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, but the slimbo's got to end at 166 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: some point. I have a question. Let's say it was 167 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: the suspension thing. If he was put in I R. 168 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: What does that really do? It takes him off the rosters, 169 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: him off the roster, but they could still suspend him. Yeah. 170 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're suspended, you're off the roster too. 171 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: You're not getting paid. And when you said they can't 172 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: suspend you talking about NFL Cowboys, I mean yeah Cowboys kid, 173 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: Yeah right, I don't know. I don't have to be 174 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: conduct detrimental to the team for the team to do, right. 175 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: I was just wondering what would the benefit of doing 176 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: that move. Actually, it's a way to get him off 177 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: the roster if they don't think he's going to contribute, 178 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: especially and still hold on to his rights. Yeah right, 179 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: And if his foot is bothering him, he can rehabit 180 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: without doing this week to week like well what can 181 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: you do? What can't you do? Type of dance. But 182 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: if she suspended, you know that that changes a lot 183 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: of things because of um, he's got guaranteed money and 184 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: if you you know, if you don't, if you're suspended, 185 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: I think some of those guarantees or all of them 186 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: will go away. That's a league rule, right, Yeah, that 187 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: those that it gets avoided. Right, So if you if 188 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: you you know that happened to Zeke, you know his 189 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: guarantees were avoided. So if he doesn't have any guarantees 190 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: on the contract, then makes a lot more sense to 191 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: part ways with him because you're not feeling any kind 192 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: of you know, financial fun little uh well, sort of 193 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: changing the topic, Our esteemed colleague Rob Phillips just told me, um, 194 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: no Randy Gregory and no David Irving at practice today, 195 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: which I don't have an answer for that yet, because 196 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory was not on the injury report yesterday, yes, 197 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: and j Randy Gregory was not on the injury report yesterday, 198 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,599 Speaker 1: and Jason Garrett said this morning that they're going to 199 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: see what more David Irving can do, so and maybe 200 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,839 Speaker 1: they decided there's not more he can do. Maybe, So 201 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: those two guys, you never have nothing in common. Those 202 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: two guys you never know, You just never know. So sorry, 203 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: I don't have more information at this time. Thanks Rob. 204 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: Maybe they showed up after the fifteen minutes. Maybe maybe, Yeah, 205 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: that's true, because that happens a lot. Yeah, things we see. 206 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: Keep an eye on the old injury report. Probably about 207 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: three pm Central time. Let's talk about some of the 208 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: guys that were limited that we think could play. Cheeto 209 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: has an ankle, he was limited, Cole Beasley with an ankle, 210 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: Malie Collins was limited yesterday with an ankle, DeMarcus Lawrence 211 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: with a shoulder, and Antoine Woods with a calf. Um, 212 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 1: let's talk particularly about Malie Collins, who's missed a couple 213 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: of games here. Um, what's the expectation for him? Is 214 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: the expectation that now they're trying to work him in 215 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: to see if he's ready to go. The word coming 216 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: from them is that he did pretty well and practiced yesterday, 217 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 1: step at a time. See how he responds to the work. 218 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 1: See if he can do more. I think he did 219 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: more yesterday as I understand it, than he has at 220 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: any point since he got hurt. So see how he spawns, 221 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 1: and you know, it's probably gonna be one of those 222 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: typical wait and see on Friday type of deals. Are 223 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: how many games has he missed? How many games has 224 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: he missed in his career? I know he's had a 225 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: couple different injuries. Is this a situation where he's been 226 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: injured and not missed games or is this situation where 227 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: he's missed an order number of games in his in 228 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: his career? Memory might be hazy, even I don't remember 229 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: him missing games last year. I remember, you know, year 230 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: before that, he didn't miss any games. The year before that. 231 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: He broke his foot in the off season in off 232 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: season and then was back in time for the start 233 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: of the regular season. Okay, so he's just a guy 234 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: times right, He's he's had some injuries issues, and that's 235 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: what I was trying to get battle injuries every step 236 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: of the way. Even though he's had injuries, it sounds 237 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: like from what you guys are saying, he hasn't missed 238 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: games very often, which is a good thing. That means 239 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: that either he's able to play through pain, or he 240 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: had the injuries that have not happened in times when 241 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: they affected his ability to play. He had not missed 242 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: the game until now. He played all sex and yeah, 243 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: it's really good, so um, which yeah, tells you it 244 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: must be somewhat severe if if he is missing times 245 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: so and judging by the size of the rap on 246 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: his knee, yeah it sounds yeah, not great. So, but 247 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: if you're limited on Wednesday, that's typically a good sign. 248 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: So we'll see. So for all those guys, you feel 249 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: pretty good about their ability to play this weekend. Cheeto, Cole, DeMarcus, Antoine. Yeah, 250 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: Antoine's the other one. And that's which the fact that 251 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: David Irving was not at practice today is not awesome 252 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: if he is gonna miss because that's Jason Garrett not 253 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: only you know, I think Antoine Woods did pretty well yesterday, 254 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: but again, you see how he responds. He's definitely not 255 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: out of the Woods. So that defensive tackle situation is 256 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: kind of dicey. Need probably needs one of those guys 257 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: to step it up this week. All right, let's take 258 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: our first break when we come back. I want to 259 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: jump into the Texans defense. Let Day give us his breakdown. 260 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: We'll talk about some of these players on that defense 261 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: that are real, real difference makers. JJ Watt, Jadeveon Clowney, 262 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: We'll talk about some of those guys we come back. 263 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

Well, what did we say yesterday? We're like, 327 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: why is this team? One in three? Okay, let's go. 328 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to dog him too much 329 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: because there's some talent here. I'll start with the scary part, 330 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: which is obviously the front. Nobody listening to this needs 331 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: an introduction to JJ Watt or Jadeveon Clowney, and they 332 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: are playing like you would expect them to. Watt is right, 333 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: so Whit's back. Wat's back. He is what he was before. 334 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if he is the guy that I 335 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: would have voted for NFL MVP in fourteen or fifteen? 336 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: Was it? I don't know, when he was literally just 337 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: trying to drag him into the playoffs on his own, 338 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: when he was just stroying offensive lines. If he I 339 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: don't know if he's that guy. But he's still damn good, 340 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: which is the point. And they don't need him to 341 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: be that guy because Jadeveon Clowney can be that guy. 342 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: He's got He's got sacks. He's got oh my god, 343 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: he you know, you remember the play in college where 344 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: he just single handedly blew up that Michigan guy. He 345 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: can still do that in the pros, which is terrifying. Um, 346 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: these guys he's six five, two seventy And that's really 347 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: the thing that you notice the most when you watch them, is, Okay, 348 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: he's an end or a rush linebacker, but he does 349 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: everything like he plays on the right side. He plays 350 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: on the left side. They stand not And I don't 351 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: just mean they stand him up as a linebacker. I 352 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: mean I watched this guy blitz through the A gap 353 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: and just bulldoze the cults center and um nahem Hines 354 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: tried to block him because it's a screen pass, and 355 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: he just knocked him to the ground and then chased 356 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck out of the pocket. And Hines was the 357 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: guy that was supposed to get the ball, so he's 358 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: scrambling to get it, like he just blows play. Blockers 359 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: are basically just speedbumps for him. He just kind of 360 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: go over them and keep going. Yeah. Um, the scary 361 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: thing for me, you know, given what we've talked about 362 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: with Cowboys inability to protect and Dak's pocket awareness, I 363 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: know I wrote this down. Where is this statum? They 364 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: have contributed on on five fumble plays and recovered four 365 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: of them. I believe they did it. Tho, Yeah, they 366 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: get in there. We go four fumble recoveries this season, 367 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: and they did it. They were created by those two guys. Yeah, 368 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: well one of them was the Colts center screwed up 369 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 1: and snapped it on the ground. But literally Clowney was 370 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: like wide nine on the left side or on the 371 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: right end position, ball hits the ground underneath the center, 372 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: and he cut through two blocks and dove on it 373 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: in the end zone and scored a touchdown. Like he's 374 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: just unbelievably athletic. I think if the Cowboys are going 375 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: to have a problem, it's going to be because of 376 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: those two guys, which you didn't need me to tell 377 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: you that. Good news is the secondary is very bad. 378 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 1: Like they're not good at all. Um. They are twenty 379 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: seventh in the league in passing defense two hundred and 380 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: eighty eight yards per game, and that is actually inflated 381 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 1: because they only gave up one hundred and ten passing 382 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: yards to none other than Blaine Gabbert. Because Marcus Mariota 383 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 1: was hurt and couldn't go so against good quarterbacks. They 384 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: gave up two sixty seven to Tom Brady, they gave 385 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: up two sixty five to Eli Manning, and Andrew Luck 386 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: threw for four thirty seven on them. They're not good. 387 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: I know. Jonathan Joseph had his moments in the past. 388 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: He looks like he's lost it. He used to be 389 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: a really good cornerment. He doesn't look good anymore, at 390 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: least not on the tape I watched. Aaron Colvin is 391 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: the guy. A J. Bouyer went off to Jacksonville and 392 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: he's part of that great defense. Aaron Colevin's not bad. 393 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: But these are just not lockdown guys, and it shows 394 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: like they give up separation they have to, like they 395 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: play soft because they have to. I think. So you see, 396 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: you know, Colts receivers are just running like ten yard 397 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: digs where the corners ten yards behind him because they're 398 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: so afraid of getting burnt over the top that they're 399 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: just giving up chunk after chunk. And then you know, 400 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: I'm the guy hammering on the safety situation. Tyron Matthew 401 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: definitely hasn't been bad. He's got twenty three tackles, four 402 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: pass breakups and a pick. The pick came on a deflection. 403 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: You can definitely pick on this guy like he's not 404 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: He hasn't looked like this all world safety. I think, 405 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: you know, he's what like five to nine, and it 406 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: looks like it when he tries to go up against 407 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: bigger guys, you can box him out. So I still 408 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: think it would be nice to have him on this team, 409 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: but he's not some kind of he's not ed Reid 410 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: secondary just gives up a ton of plays and it 411 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: offsets their front seven because they actually have they have 412 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: big linebackers, Merciless as a guy everybody knows he kind 413 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: of functions as a rusher too. And then Zach Cunningham 414 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: is a guy that Brian really loved in the draft 415 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: coming out of Vanderbilt. He's a tackle machine, but him 416 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: and Bernardrick McKinney have not tackled that well. So yeah, 417 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: they're not. They're number nine and run defense, but I 418 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: think that's more because teams aren't trying them that much honestly, 419 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 1: than because they're like this juggernaut. So yeah, I don't 420 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: know what kind of backs have they run up against 421 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: so far this year? They went up against they went 422 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: up against se Quon, Yeah, and the Colts have nothing. Yeah. 423 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: And then but and they've been stout. I mean, they're 424 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: allowing ninety four yards per game, But I don't think 425 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: I buy that they've just been in a game where 426 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: they were getting pounded against them. You asked me a question. 427 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: I don't have the answer. Sorry, you're okay for the show, um, 428 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: But I guess the point after what I'm trying to 429 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: figure out is when you talk about the running backs, 430 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: sometimes this early in a season, the numbers can be 431 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: a function of who you've played way more than your 432 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: abilities right now. And that's I think I said this 433 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: last week. If you're up at the top of the 434 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: stat standings after four weeks, that doesn't mean a lot 435 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: to me. If you're at the bottom, it means a 436 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: little bit more because it means you're getting exploited. But 437 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 1: you know, if you're top five in rushing defense after 438 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 1: three games, that just might mean you haven't run up 439 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: against the right matchup yet, right or you could be 440 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: really bad against the pass. You know, we saw that 441 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: last week. I mean with the Lions, they were the 442 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,239 Speaker 1: worst runde fence in the league. But you know they 443 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: were the best in pass and you know, I think 444 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: we kind of saw that, we saw why they were 445 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: worse than a run. But I mean, they really weren't 446 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 1: that great in the past, right, But we also saw 447 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: that that was why, I mean, that's why the numbers 448 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: are what they are, is because you don't have It's 449 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: like Cowboy, you don't have to pass run the ball. Okay, 450 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: So Sequon Barkley ran seventeen times for eighty two yards 451 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: in a touch, which that's four point eight yards for carry. 452 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: He was fine. That's kind of my point is I 453 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: respect him, but the linebackers don't tackle as well as 454 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: they should. And Clowney specifically not so much JJ Watt, 455 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: but Clowney's a rusher, like He's not this all around 456 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: great run defender pass rusher guys. So I think, regardless 457 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: of what the stats say, I think you can run 458 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: on these guys. I just think this is going to 459 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: be one of those games where it will be a shootout. 460 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: I've just thought that since it came out on the schedule, 461 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: and I just think, you know, run, pass, whatever. I 462 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: think it's going to be one of those games that 463 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: kind of has a life of its own. And you 464 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: see a lot of plays type down and as I see, 465 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, both teams kind of you know, making plays. 466 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: Didn't mean that they're throwing for three hundred four hundred yards. 467 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: I just think that they're going to be moving it 468 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: up and down the field and it should be fun. Yeah, 469 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: I will say, And it goes back to my point. 470 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: We're gonna find out if this receiver corps is good 471 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: enough to take advantage of these guys, because, like I said, 472 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: these guys were playing soft against the Colts. The Colts 473 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: also have t Y Hilton and he can't get behind you. 474 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: He abused them specifically Jonathan Joseph like I mean, he 475 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: was two steps behind him all day. So, but are 476 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: the Texans that afraid of what any of these guys bring? 477 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: Like maybe this is a game hopefully Tavon Austin always 478 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: has a role, but maybe even Deontay Thompson when you 479 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: know speed. Nick always talks about it like will they 480 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: play that soft if they're not afraid of you? That's 481 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: my point, So I'll be interested to see how that goes. 482 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: Talking about about the matchup of the offensive line versus 483 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: these pass rushers squat clowney merciless, how do you see 484 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: that matchup, those matchups playing out. That's the funny thing is, well, 485 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: first they're so multiple, like they're gonna line up in 486 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: a bunch of different spots, but what has become the 487 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: left end at this point, so like that's Lyle Colinsky, 488 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: which that sucks because you would in this we always 489 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: talk about like in this day and age, you think 490 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: your right tackle gets this easier matchup, Like not, really 491 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: do they do? They line up Clowney on the same 492 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: side as him often no, typically it's opposite side. They usually, 493 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: well it's what is kind of fixed on the left 494 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: side more often than not. And then Clowney he plays 495 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: on the right a lot, like he's gonna be Tyrn 496 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: Smith's guy. But also they're gonna line him up like 497 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: they line him up basically at will linebacker sometime and 498 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: that that's my point, Like he's not like DeMarcus Ware 499 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: on the corner in a two point stance. He's like 500 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: back behind the nose tackle like like a regular linebacker, 501 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: and he'll just like shoot through the gap. Like he's 502 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: such an athletic freak that they can do all kinds 503 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: of stuff with him. So that didn't face Looney before 504 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 1: that Well, that's what I was gonna say. That That's 505 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: where it does beg the question. You know, the most 506 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: inexperienced part of this line now may have to deal 507 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: with him shooting the gap right there with Williams and 508 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: luniar M and last week the offensive line played extremely well. 509 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: That also could be a function of the fact that 510 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: they were facing a defense that didn't really have this 511 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 1: certainly didn't have this kind of these kind of pass rushers, 512 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: didn't have their two best pass rushers, right, and Texans 513 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 1: have their two best pass rushers and who maybe two 514 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 1: of the best in the league. Yeah, I will bet 515 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: I would bet you Clowney and or they're both gonna 516 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 1: make a play in the backfield or like have the 517 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: opportunity to make a play. I mean, you think about 518 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: the famous Romo spin against what like I mean, I think, yeah, 519 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: Dak and or Zeke is probably gonna have to make 520 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: a nice play to get out of that. And that 521 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: you know, Dak's pocket presence is something we talk about 522 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: a lot. He's gonna have to have his head on 523 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,479 Speaker 1: a swivel, don't get stripped like that. That's what's like 524 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: I said, that's what scares me is like they'll knock 525 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: the ball out of your hand or just blow a 526 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: play up to the point where it reminds me remember 527 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: what game was that was that? It was the Giants 528 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: game where they ran the reverse and if not for 529 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: Zeke making a heads up play landon Collins probably blows 530 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: it up. I'm worried about something like that happening. Here. 531 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: Tell me where this defensive front can be exploited in 532 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: the run game. We've talked a little bit about the 533 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: pass game, talked about their secondary. If you wanted to 534 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: run against this defensive front, where do you think there 535 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: are weaknesses where maybe the Cowboys can can get some 536 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: traction up the middle? Because for I mean, so DJ 537 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: Reader and the Angelo Blackson play tackle for them or 538 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: well it's a three four front, so tackle and whatever. 539 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: But they're not anything special to me, and they're nowhere 540 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: near as athletic as Watt and Clowney. Like I said, 541 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: I don't think the world of Clowney is this great 542 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: run defender, But I wouldn't want to run too much 543 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: to his side less because he tend to be overly aggressive. 544 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: Where maybe you can exploit that. No, absolutely you could, 545 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: And I'm you know, I think Brian actually wrote today 546 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: like hammer him as much as possible with Tyrn Smith 547 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: and wear him down because he's gonna be trying to 548 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: rush and maybe he won't have any energy. I still 549 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: don't like the idea of running putting the ball near 550 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 1: a guy with that much athleticism. And like I said, 551 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: Merciless and Cunningham and McKinney, like they're very impressive and 552 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: they hit hard when they hit, but much like the 553 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: Cowboys in the first few weeks, like they haven't they 554 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 1: don't wrap up, like they haven't tackled as well as 555 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 1: they're supposed to. So I think I think you can 556 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: get them just by running right at him. To be 557 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: honest with you, like, I don't think you have to 558 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: ras it up too much. Another point I wanted to me, 559 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 1: I wonder another guy we talked about in the draft 560 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: is Eric Reid's little brother, justin safety out of Stanford. 561 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: He's gotten some reserve playing time kind of as a 562 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: third safety. I wonder if they might try to give 563 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: him more playing time because Tyron Matthew's been fine Kareem 564 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: Jax and hasn't been terrible at the other safety spot. 565 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: But again, like they just they give up too many 566 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: plays in the secondary. So I have my eye on 567 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 1: him as maybe like an X factor that they try 568 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 1: to use more because he has looked good in the 569 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: short amounts of playing time that he's gotten. So, if 570 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: you were going to pick one wide receiver, and I'll 571 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: go around the table, if you're gonna pick one wide 572 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: receiver this week that against a secondary that may be 573 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: more susceptible to big plays or just plays. Who which 574 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 1: receiver do you think actually has an opportunity here to 575 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: make some make some place for the Cowboys. I like Gallup. 576 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: I think he's He's a guy that we've already seen 577 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: go down the field a little bit. Um, I think 578 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: they'll start doing that a little bit more. He's got 579 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: him once Dad kind of figures him out a little 580 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: bit better and vice versa. I think that they that 581 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: has a chance to be, you know, a steady playmaker 582 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: for this team. Like gall We've seen him down feel 583 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: quite a bit. I mean, that's a that seems to 584 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: be something they're really working on. So I think you 585 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: could say that, um, any of these guys really And 586 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: my biggest problem is I'm not being a fan of 587 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: this whole rotation thing because I think it's messing up 588 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: the rhythm, like they're not in there long enough for 589 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: them to get going. It's like you keep rotating them, 590 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: and let's see, with any of these guys, they come 591 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: out pretty quickly and it doesn't allow them to get going, 592 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: and that's a problem. If they were throwing the ball 593 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: down the field more, I would I would definitely like 594 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: disagree with you because they're you know, you got guys 595 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: who are doing things all over the place, but they're 596 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: not you know, there's really no reason to, in my opinion, 597 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: to rotate as much as they do, but they do. 598 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: The thing about it is, it seems like to me anyway, 599 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: it seems like they've been doing that for years. Even 600 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: when Dez was here, they seem to rotate their receivers 601 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: quite a bit. I mean, there would be times when 602 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: I'm looking for Dez on the field and he was 603 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: on the sideline and it, I mean just seem like 604 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: they kind of rotating guys around. I mean, you had guys, 605 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: you had guys like eighty five eighty five Brown, Noah 606 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: Brown that's on the field. You know, there's a pretty 607 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: significant amount of snaps last year and year before. I 608 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: just I don't think that this was ever in the 609 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: last few years. I don't think it was ever a 610 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: situation where they had their two main guys and they 611 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: were always on the field. And while yeah, yeah, I agree, 612 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: but those were guys that were pretty comfortable already with 613 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: this offense. I feel that these guys, being as new 614 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: as they are, it still may take him a little 615 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,719 Speaker 1: bit to get accustomed and used to what this offense is. 616 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: And the fact that there's so much rotation. I think 617 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: it thinking, I can't think of the word. It just 618 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: messes up with the progress of them being out there 619 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: and making place, especially with a guy like you talk 620 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: about Michael Gallup. He's a rookie and you need to 621 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: allow him and we've seen him make place, so we 622 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: know it's in him, but you need to put him 623 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: out there more and give him more chances to allow 624 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: him to do those things. I don't think I can 625 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: go with you on that. Yeah, like Noah Brown had 626 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: a he definitely was on the field and especially when 627 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: they wanted to run the ball, and Bright Butler's had 628 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: his moments. But if you go back to like sixteen, 629 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: sixteen and seventeen, the last two years Daz was here. 630 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: I bet him, Terrence and Beasley blow everybody out of 631 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,719 Speaker 1: the water in terms of snap count. I don't know. 632 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: I'd have to go back and look it just it 633 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: may have been my own perception just looking at the 634 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: game and watching the game and noticing and noticing that 635 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: there were times when I was I mean, it would 636 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: be times when they'd have they'd have thirteen personnel and 637 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: it would be Noah Brown as the wide receiver. Which, 638 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: what are you doing thirteen personnel? Get it. All I'm saying, though, 639 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: is maybe that changed my perception, that maybe that was 640 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: what affected my perception of it. I was asking the question, 641 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: was this something that's been happening for years? Because it 642 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: seems like to me they've been rotating receivers here for 643 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: a while. I don't think it's remotely. Let's play a 644 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: game similar to what it is. Play game, all right, 645 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: let's do it. Let's play four games into the season. 646 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: All right, this is these are your leaders and snap 647 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: count for receivers one fifty four, one fifty three, and 648 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: then the next is one nineteen. Who's at one fifty four? 649 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: Who guess that's your guess? Yeah? Yes, all right, who's 650 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: at one fifty three. Yeah, I mean, m Deontay Thompson. 651 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: What's your guess? Is that right? Camp? I would guess Hearns. 652 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I forgot about Herns. Um it has to 653 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: be hur Hearns is one fifty three. Yeah. Who's that 654 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: one nineteen either? Yeah? Probably Deontay Gallup at one nine. 655 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: Really I thought Deanta Thompson was one, and Tavon Austin 656 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:42,959 Speaker 1: freaking sixty five not even sixty five, Holy crap. And 657 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: that's so dumb. Terrence Williams thirty nine and Bryce Butler 658 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: zero with us, I am shocked that. Um, that Gallups 659 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: count is that high. To be honest with you, I 660 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: would what I guess it was like eighty or ninety. 661 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: So so really, I mean standpoint twenty and twenty three 662 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: and the twenty four What do y'all think? I bet you. 663 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just I was just trying to figure 664 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: out whatever. I'm just trying to Oh, okay, I was 665 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: gonna say, Jimmy's doesn't have that many snaps. He's probably 666 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: got ten. I mean, who's the other running back? He 667 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: said there were two running backs there were in the twenties. 668 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: I just Rod Smith has twenty three. I'm sorry, Okay, 669 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: my bad. You know what I'm looking at? Tight ends? Yeah, 670 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 1: two twenty nine, and then Blake Jarwin has seventy five snaps. Wait, 671 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: so Swim has that many more than the next place 672 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: this guy. Yeah, it surprises me that they haven't. That 673 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: that would be number highed just because of them running 674 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: twelve and he's he's on ninety two percent of the 675 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: offensive snaps, which is more than Zeke. You know. Oh Swam, Yeah, 676 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: Swaim's playing every I mean, it's dak the line. I don't. 677 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: I don't have any ill will toward Jeff Swim, but 678 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: I I buried my dream of ten personnel the other 679 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: night because literally like five times during that Lions game, 680 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,439 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, they're doing ten, They've got ten 681 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: on the field, and then Swam with motion and I'm like, 682 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: never mind, that's Jeff my bad. Um, but he's not 683 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: doing a bad No, he's not doing a bad job. 684 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: I just I just would like to see it. I 685 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: think I think it could work. Um. I do want 686 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: to go back though, to the to the point that 687 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: you're trying to make I agree with you. I wouldn't. 688 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 1: I would like to rotate these receivers less. But you 689 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: hear the phrase like eating up cushion. Why, Like it's 690 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 1: like the guy's got ten yards of cushion and it's 691 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: just gone in an instant. Who's doing that on this team? 692 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: That's like Alan Hearns is number two in snap count. 693 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: I don't trust that that's he's going to do that. Um, 694 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 1: maybe Gallup could if they gave him a chance. And 695 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: that's my point is Deonte Thompson and Tavon Austin certainly could. 696 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: So maybe getting well they are, Maybe this is a 697 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,720 Speaker 1: game where you change that. Hey, they freaking they targeted 698 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: key Key Kuti fifteen times in his first game as 699 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: a pro. You mean to tell me that Tavon can't 700 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: do that? I don't. I'm just hoping that maybe they're 701 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: they have some grand design and they're saving him for it. 702 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't figure out the Super Bowl, No, honestly, right, 703 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 1: I can't. I just can't understand why you can have 704 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: how you can have a guy that's a weapon like 705 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: that and not figure out a way to get him 706 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: more involved in what you're doing. Mean neither saying and again, 707 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: you know, I think Jeff Swam has played pretty well 708 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: this year. But they just you gotta have a tight end. 709 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: Apparently you just have to. Yeah, I don't know why. 710 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: Let's take our final break. We'll come back. We'll get 711 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: some questions. Give us a call. The numbers eight eight 712 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: eight eight five five two two nine seven again it 713 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 1: is eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven. 714 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: This is the break.

That's why 717 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,280 Speaker 1: the Cowboys rely on more than staff some scouting reports 718 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 1: when building their team. When picking a tractor, it's why 719 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: you should rely on more than spec some features as well. 720 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 1: You got to take it out and put it to 721 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 1: the test the Cowboys did when they named John Deer 722 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: their official tractor.

That's I mean, sometimes 753 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: you know, I'll just I don't mind saying it on 754 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,800 Speaker 1: the air, Like you watch tape to watch the opponent, 755 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: and sometimes you can't get over what you're not supposed 756 00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: to be looking at, which in this like I just 757 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,320 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts just do not have much talent obvious. 758 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: You know, Andrew Luck's a good player, even if he's 759 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: coming back back like he had a huge day as 760 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: far as numbers are concerned. But is he back to 761 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: being Andrew Luck that was one of the better quarterbacks 762 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 1: in the league. I don't think so yet, But I 763 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: he threw for four thirty seven, Like I think he's 764 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 1: on his way. But like by the time the Cowboys 765 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: play him, he'll be and he's got he's got t 766 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: Y Hilton and then like just not a whole lot 767 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 1: else to work with on that whole of running back 768 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: offensive line question. Got the Notre Dame kid in there 769 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 1: as a rookie, like not much else, Nahem Hines as 770 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 1: a guy we liked in the draft. He's like he's 771 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 1: a third round pick though, and like anything, they're poor guy. 772 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: He's supposed to be like a third down back and 773 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: he like, for lack of a better option, he's basically 774 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 1: their feature back, which like, I don't think you want 775 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: to do that with it. No, it's not working. And 776 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: I think t Yse got a hamstring now, so he 777 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: might not even be available. That sounds about ross. Well, 778 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:03,840 Speaker 1: Cowboys will have him and I don't know in December 779 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 1: or November, mid December. It's like it's one of the 780 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 1: last three games. It'll be cold. Yeah, good things.

How's it going everybody? Um, gotta gotta observation. 811 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 1: I know a lot of fans always talking about picking 812 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: up these high price wide receivers and and stuff like that, 813 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: But do you think our offense, the way it's made 814 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,839 Speaker 1: up and how the offensive coordinator and the head coach 815 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:01,399 Speaker 1: likes to do things, do we really need that high 816 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 1: price wide receiver when it looks like the plays and 817 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:10,839 Speaker 1: the scheme would not benefit those guys like I don't 818 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: think somebody like Sammy Watkins that would have came in 819 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 1: and then the off season would have a great year, 820 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 1: just because of the way everything is schemed and how 821 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,719 Speaker 1: we use our wide receivers. There's really no movement, no bunching, 822 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 1: no people running behind the line getting lost and kind 823 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,280 Speaker 1: of getting open and stuff like that. It just seems 824 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 1: a little basic as far as what they do with 825 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 1: the receivers that I don't I just don't think bringing 826 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 1: somebody high dollar, high quality in they would benefit us. 827 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,840 Speaker 1: I agree, thanks for I agree with that call. And 828 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 1: you know that's kind of one of the reasons why 829 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 1: we've said that we don't know if Dez is really 830 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 1: making much of a difference, And Sammy Watkins, you're right, 831 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,919 Speaker 1: I don't think you know would and you know that's 832 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 1: a real to me, and maybe that the caller is 833 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,359 Speaker 1: not saying it, but to me, that is a nice 834 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,920 Speaker 1: way of saying your quarterbacks really not that good if 835 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 1: your wide receivers, If a really good, talented, high price 836 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,520 Speaker 1: wide receiver is not going to come help the offense, 837 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 1: then that to me, I don't know if it's scheme 838 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,160 Speaker 1: or not, it's is the passing game going and benefit 839 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 1: utilize a really good wide receiver in this offense. Are 840 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 1: you really saying that he wouldn't benefit them or is 841 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 1: it that for the cost it's not worth the benefit, 842 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: Because I think there's a difference I really do think 843 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,440 Speaker 1: there's a difference there. I don't think the Cowboys are 844 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 1: saying if we had a great wide receiver, if they 845 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 1: had you name it, Antonio Brown or Odell whoever, certainly 846 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 1: they can help this team. The thing is for the 847 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: price of what you'd pay for that, I think what 848 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 1: they're saying is strategically, we think we'd rather put that 849 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 1: money into an offensive line and a running back, then 850 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 1: we'd rather put it into a wide receiver. We think 851 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 1: that's a better strategic decision for us. Yeah, that's at 852 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,759 Speaker 1: least my impression. I'm actually writing about this in my 853 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,040 Speaker 1: column right now, and I feel weird saying it because 854 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 1: obviously the offense has been bad for three of the 855 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,120 Speaker 1: four games, thirtieth in the league in passing. I'm not 856 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 1: trying to suggest that it's good, but like, are the 857 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys overly surprised by what they're seeing because this was 858 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 1: the game plan. It was complimentary receivers who are not 859 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 1: going to be too upset that their stats suck. Basically, 860 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what it comes to Town two and center. 861 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 1: Everything around you're running back. That Detroit game is what 862 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,319 Speaker 1: they want it to be. Is like three or four 863 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 1: guys finished with twenty to fifty receiving yards. But it's 864 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 1: really all about Zeke and it hasn't happened in the 865 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 1: first three games. But I think that's really the design 866 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 1: that they had in mind, and I think in that regard, 867 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 1: sure it hasn't been as good as they wanted it to, 868 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 1: but it has followed the overall blueprint that they set up. Now, 869 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,399 Speaker 1: whether that was the right strategy, I don't know. We'll 870 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 1: see how it works. Out over sixteen games. But that's 871 00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: what they put in motion this whole time for this 872 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 1: season at least. I mean, they can change it in 873 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,839 Speaker 1: the offseason. But here's the part that worries me though 874 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,319 Speaker 1: about that whole thing, is you look at a team 875 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,200 Speaker 1: like the Rams, and somehow they're able to get it all. 876 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 1: Like they got the quarterback, They've got good, really good receivers, 877 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,920 Speaker 1: I think all. I think their three top receivers are 878 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 1: probably better than the Cowboys best receiver. They've got an 879 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,919 Speaker 1: all world running back, they got a good offensive line, 880 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 1: they got a great defensive front. How is it some 881 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 1: teams are able to get it all and the Cowboys 882 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: have to choose which they're gonna do and not do? 883 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 1: A couple thoughts come to mind. What I agree with 884 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,800 Speaker 1: Nick to a degree that it's an indictment of quarterback 885 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:36,840 Speaker 1: play to some degree to say that a good receiver 886 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:38,960 Speaker 1: can't help you. But I just I mean, I think 887 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,799 Speaker 1: the Rams have a better scheme and are better coach 888 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 1: to exploit mismatches and things like that. Like you watch them, 889 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,479 Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, I mean, Cooper Cup's a nice player 890 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 1: and Brandon Cooks is good too, But like, I don't 891 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 1: think that it's these receivers making Odell Beckham one hand 892 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:56,920 Speaker 1: and type players. I think they're just schemed well. And 893 00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,400 Speaker 1: I also think it's amazing you think those those receivers 894 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 1: are comparable to of the Cowboys receivers. I think they're 895 00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,279 Speaker 1: more No, they're more talented. Okay, this is probably this 896 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 1: is one of the three least talented receiver groups in 897 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 1: the NFL. Problem just just on talent alone. But again, like, 898 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 1: are we surprised to hear that? I remember, No, No, 899 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:16,759 Speaker 1: it's just when you say it. It's like ESPN. ESPN 900 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 1: did a thing in the summer that pissed everybody off 901 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 1: where they ranked the skill players not including quarterback and 902 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 1: running back, so basically tight ends and receivers, and Dallas 903 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 1: was like thirtieth. I think everybody lost their minds and 904 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,440 Speaker 1: I was like, what are you all mad about? Exactly 905 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,560 Speaker 1: exactly what it is. Um. And on top of that, 906 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 1: the other thing with the Rams is when you have 907 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 1: a number one overall pick quarterback playing like it on 908 00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,160 Speaker 1: that deal, you can afford a lot of other stuff. Yeah, 909 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,880 Speaker 1: that's and if they can get if the Cowboys can 910 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 1: get their quarterback to play up to that level. Now, 911 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 1: they would have the benefit of that, and now they 912 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,200 Speaker 1: really could use those receivers and maybe make those receivers 913 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 1: a lot better than where they are right now. I 914 00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:01,319 Speaker 1: if it was up to me, and I've said this back, yeah, 915 00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,720 Speaker 1: I would have a number one receiver in this offense 916 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,480 Speaker 1: because Dak at this point in his career, he does 917 00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 1: need the help, the extra help from another player. That's 918 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:13,919 Speaker 1: nice to say, where are you going to get that? Guys, 919 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,800 Speaker 1: that's not I'm not worried about that. That wasn't the 920 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:22,200 Speaker 1: questions because that was the problem this offseason when you 921 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 1: got rid of this. There wasn't a lot there was 922 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:29,839 Speaker 1: there was, Hey, that was not the question. It has 923 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:31,719 Speaker 1: part of it because this off season there weren't a 924 00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 1: lot of guys out there in free agency that you 925 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,720 Speaker 1: look at and say, he immediately comes in and becomes 926 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 1: a true number one in this offense. I don't think 927 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:43,720 Speaker 1: those guys were That's the that's the closest thing you've got. Okay, 928 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 1: death was not working out there. He wasn't for whatever 929 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,440 Speaker 1: reason it was, he just wasn't. But here's the thing. 930 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,480 Speaker 1: I'm the type of person that I don't like relying fully, 931 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,760 Speaker 1: relying on one person you need to have backup plans. 932 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:02,000 Speaker 1: And when it comes to Zeke, yes, run the balls 933 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 1: as much as you can. But at the same time, 934 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,279 Speaker 1: you never know what's going to happen or what could happen. 935 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 1: So have your backup plan, have someone that you can trust, 936 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,759 Speaker 1: and I can throw himself and catch the ball like, um, 937 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:21,279 Speaker 1: what's his name, Julio Beckham, No, Hopkins. I was just 938 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,280 Speaker 1: breaking down a play yesterday. So Hopkins from the Texas. 939 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,160 Speaker 1: He can throw himself and catch the ball and just 940 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,000 Speaker 1: make the play. Dad may not be as precise as 941 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:35,279 Speaker 1: he would want to be, but here, yeah, exactly. You 942 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,359 Speaker 1: have a receiver that can help you out. I'm really 943 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 1: happy that Sammy Watkins isn't wasting away on this offense 944 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,319 Speaker 1: right now with the account amount of money he would 945 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,440 Speaker 1: have cost. I agree with that. All right, guys, we'll 946 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:46,960 Speaker 1: be back tomorrow. We'll wrap this thing up for you 947 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 1: and let you know what's going to happen this weekend. 948 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys versus Texans still in for Nick Eatman, Dave Hellman, 949 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 1: Amber Garcia.
