Just real quick, just 0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.560 take a guess at who's the Houstonian who went to 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:03.480 Texas in the room today. Yeah, but you guys not 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:05.680 excited about this week? I mean, I'm excited about every 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.320 Cowboys game, but I don't this is I'm excited. Well, 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.360 you're a Louisiana guy. I don't get up a Texan. Yeah, 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.200 I don't feel any extra juice for this. All right, 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:14.800 Well you can just lay out on this part while 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:16.800 I'm saying this might bee no this And you're not 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:18.720 a Texan either, so you can lay out too if 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:20.520 you want to. You'll feel it. You'll feel it when 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:22.840 you get to the stadium. Though. Yeah, it's gonna be. 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.000 It's gonna be one of those. It's gonna be a 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:28.959 really good one. Not Texas either. I mean you grew 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.080 up in Texas. I grew up here. I'm here in Southwest, 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.119 but I've lived in Texas. It moves around a little bit, 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:38.360 gets more than yes, sorry, I didn't mean it like 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.400 it's been in Texas for a long time. Yeah, more 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.160 double any other part of my life. So yeah, twenty 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.200 But you're a text definitely, and you appreciate games like 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:50.080 this just because you know this is um, this isn't 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.480 really like oh you Texas. This is more like you 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:59.360 know Texas and Texas tech maybe yeah, well well Texas Texas, 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.440 yeah yeah kind of yeah, And it is No, it 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.560 honestly is though. And I noticed that living in Houston 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:09.120 all my life. This rivalry, if you want to call 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.840 it that, between Houston and Dallas is way more on 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.280 the Houston side than is on Dallas side. On the 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.240 Houston side, people look at the Cowboys and they hate 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:19.880 if they're not Cowboy fans, because they're a bunch of 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.440 Cowboys fans in Houston. But if they're not Cowboys fans, 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:26.080 they hate the Cowboys. I mean hate the Cowboys. I 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.120 don't think Cowboys fans really look at the Texans and 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.320 are like, we hate the Texans. They're kind of well, okay, yeah, 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.799 we kind of hate them because they're around the corner. 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.200 But I don't think it's that big a deal to Cowboys. 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.040 Every column about that yesterday, how they should play every year, 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.240 and I think it ranks eight create one. It ranks 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.280 eighth on our list of top ten columns from Yesterday, 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.440 Stories from Yesterday. Who cares? But I'll tell you this, 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.680 if if the NFL took your idea and they said 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.880 every team in the league's gonna play a rivalry game 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.080 every year, that's gonna be every year you play it, 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.920 and you're looking for people in your geographic area or 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.080 have some connection to you, and you play that game 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.160 every year, I guarantee you within a matter of five 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:06.680 to ten years, would be a very strong rival. Would 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.400 probably be as big as some of the division rivals, 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.960 just because you have that in connection. There are people 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.040 you know personally who are on the other side of 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.520 that rob that creates great rival thinking about every office, 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.639 but from Dallas to Houston, that's got fans that are 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.280 you know, it's like a big game. It's like and 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.800 it happens, but there's a Giants fan somewhere or whatever. 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:27.760 But for the most part, if you're in Austin, I 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.760 would imagine a lot of Texans fans like a Cowboy fans. 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.040 So it's kind of just creates an excitement for the week. 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:34.960 But you'll feel it when you go to the almost 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:36.760 said reliant what do they call in that and our 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.120 energy energy? And if I was the NFL, I would 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.400 even make it like I would make that those games 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.160 all played on one weekend and I would call it 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.200 rivalry Weekend, and I would people that thing up and 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:48.800 have so much fun with it. Fans would have a 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:50.440 special time with that. A lot of people don't want 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.240 to hear this, especially Cowboys fans, because those NFC East 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.520 rivalries are so important. And you know, I'm from New 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.120 Orleans like things. Fans live to hate the Falcons, but 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.760 everybody's got one. But I would do away with divisions, 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:03.720 and I would if it were up to me, I 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.360 would have every team in each conference play everybody, so 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.520 you play fifteen games against the NFC and then you 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.640 have a permanent AFC rival. So for the Cowboys, it 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:13.320 could be the Texans. For the Steelers, it could be 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.120 the Eagles. For the Giants, it could be the Jets. 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:20.320 Just way fairer division the divisions, for sure. But that's 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.520 what I would do. Yeah, but I think it's it'll 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:26.279 be fun this weekend. Is this freezing press box? Yes? 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:31.960 Bringing jackets, bringing jacket? Oh yes, they were in pre seasons. Yep, 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.919 I hate Yeah, you were up there free stadium. I 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.279 had a jacket on the I'm bringing I'm bringing a parka. 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.200 It was there. I thought the coldest press box in 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.440 the stadium was Detroit before that, or New Orleans. It 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.880 was to a pretty cold, but then it was cold 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.360 and then well, I both have something in common because 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.880 you're both sitting up up by the ac events. I 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:53.720 hope you don't have a problem with heights. If you're 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.640 working in the press box in those stadiums, you think 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:57.560 this game will be more entertaining than the last time 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:02.080 we were in Houston. Yeah, yes, watching, Yes, really that's 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.080 what you're talking. I mean, is that what I was asking? 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.240 Is that what you're talking about the last game? Like, well, 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.560 I mean there was something that happened in that game 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:12.000 that actually was meaningful. Made the team when he made 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:13.920 the team, Yeah, he made that kick, and it's like, 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.960 you know what, we should cut Dan Bailey. I think 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:19.360 that happened somewhere. You literally think they were sitting there 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.800 watching that game and somebody said, you know this, Dan 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:24.800 Bailey guy may not be as important to us as 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.960 I think it was. Like it was like, you know what, 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:32.000 remember what we talked about the other day. I think 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.840 maybe we should do that. Maybe it's kind of like 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.719 that look where you're sitting there with with people friends 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:39.240 and all of a sudden you both kind of look 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.240 at each other like yeah, like yes, yeah, did you 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:44.839 just see that. Um, maybe we need to rethink this 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:46.960 a little bit. I think that's exactly what happened. It 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.240 doesn't change the fact that that game. So I hate 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:51.880 that game every year, though. The fourth game of the 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:55.240 preseason is the worst. It really is brutal. All right, 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.200 let's jump into it though, we're talking Cowboys Texans. Before 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.440 we get to Dave's breakdown out of the Texans defense 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.919 versus the Cowboys offense, we got to go through the 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:07.640 injury report yesterday. The guys that did not practice included 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.520 Travis Frederick, which was expected, Sean Lee, which was expected, 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.760 and Terrence Williams, who we've been talking about. I don't 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:15.840 know that there's any more clarity on why he's missing. 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.000 It's just not injury related. Do we know anything more? Uh, 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:24.440 sort of, we know he's not practicing again today, and 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.359 we know that we know that they're they're now saying 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.479 that his foot injury has been reaggravated, the one that 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.520 he had repaired in the off season. So is he 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.520 gonna be added to the injury report as an actual 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.720 injury rather than not injured. I wouldn't really surprised if 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.279 he's got foot next to his name this afternoon instead 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.880 of not injury related. He question did he reinjure it 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:50.480 not practicing? I think he reinjured it that I think 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:54.479 it's been something that's been aggravating him maybe and I 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.320 mean and credit the terry. Why would they be telling 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:01.159 about personal issues. I mean, that's that they're in. They're 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.359 in lives the rub Amber. There's about nineteen things going on. 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:12.000 He's like, how did I end up being the Actually 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.200 a pet peeve of mine is when I tell you 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.240 what the cowboys are saying and you come back at 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:20.800 me like it's my fault, Like I'm not. I'm not. Literally, 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.040 it's my job to report the news to you, and 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:26.480 I'm telling you they're saying he reaggravated his foot. There's 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:30.440 still speculation that he might be suspended. Uh, there's speculation 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.960 that he's it's not speculation. They said he was dealing 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.920 with some off field stuff. Jason Garrett said that himself. Uh, 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:40.320 I don't know, and I don't remember, I said Dave, 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.800 like I didn't realize that was fun. I do not 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:47.640 remember so much uncertainty and speculation surrounding a guy that 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.600 has contributed so little to a season, except for maybe 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:52.840 when they signed Bryce Butler two weeks ago and everybody 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:56.600 lost their mind. Um, I don't know. I think I 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.720 said this yesterday like something's got to give and it 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.840 will eventually. I don't and that doesn't necessarily mean Terrence 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:05.040 will go to IR or be suspended or whatever. Like 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.680 maybe this will resolve itself and he'll continue to play. 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.200 I don't know, but the slimbo's got to end at 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.600 some point. I have a question. Let's say it was 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:14.840 the suspension thing. If he was put in I R. 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:18.600 What does that really do? It takes him off the rosters, 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:22.080 him off the roster, but they could still suspend him. Yeah. 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.440 I mean, if you're suspended, you're off the roster too. 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.680 You're not getting paid. And when you said they can't 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:32.040 suspend you talking about NFL Cowboys, I mean yeah Cowboys kid, 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.760 Yeah right, I don't know. I don't have to be 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.200 conduct detrimental to the team for the team to do, right. 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.280 I was just wondering what would the benefit of doing 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.680 that move. Actually, it's a way to get him off 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:45.720 the roster if they don't think he's going to contribute, 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.439 especially and still hold on to his rights. Yeah right, 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.080 And if his foot is bothering him, he can rehabit 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.760 without doing this week to week like well what can 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.200 you do? What can't you do? Type of dance. But 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.120 if she suspended, you know that that changes a lot 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:03.080 of things because of um, he's got guaranteed money and 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.280 if you you know, if you don't, if you're suspended, 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.520 I think some of those guarantees or all of them 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.240 will go away. That's a league rule, right, Yeah, that 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:14.680 those that it gets avoided. Right, So if you if 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:18.000 you you know that happened to Zeke, you know his 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:21.480 guarantees were avoided. So if he doesn't have any guarantees 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:25.200 on the contract, then makes a lot more sense to 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.400 part ways with him because you're not feeling any kind 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:31.560 of you know, financial fun little uh well, sort of 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.480 changing the topic, Our esteemed colleague Rob Phillips just told me, um, 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.880 no Randy Gregory and no David Irving at practice today, 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.640 which I don't have an answer for that yet, because 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.439 Randy Gregory was not on the injury report yesterday, yes, 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.880 and j Randy Gregory was not on the injury report yesterday, 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:51.599 and Jason Garrett said this morning that they're going to 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.560 see what more David Irving can do, so and maybe 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:56.839 they decided there's not more he can do. Maybe, So 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:00.160 those two guys, you never have nothing in common. Those 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:04.720 two guys you never know, You just never know. So sorry, 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.600 I don't have more information at this time. Thanks Rob. 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:11.880 Maybe they showed up after the fifteen minutes. Maybe maybe, Yeah, 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:16.600 that's true, because that happens a lot. Yeah, things we see. 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.600 Keep an eye on the old injury report. Probably about 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.280 three pm Central time. Let's talk about some of the 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.120 guys that were limited that we think could play. Cheeto 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.560 has an ankle, he was limited, Cole Beasley with an ankle, 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:32.160 Malie Collins was limited yesterday with an ankle, DeMarcus Lawrence 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.280 with a shoulder, and Antoine Woods with a calf. Um, 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.319 let's talk particularly about Malie Collins, who's missed a couple 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.079 of games here. Um, what's the expectation for him? Is 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:42.760 the expectation that now they're trying to work him in 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:44.920 to see if he's ready to go. The word coming 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:48.160 from them is that he did pretty well and practiced yesterday, 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.199 step at a time. See how he responds to the work. 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.199 See if he can do more. I think he did 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.960 more yesterday as I understand it, than he has at 0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:00.520 any point since he got hurt. So see how he spawns, 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.839 and you know, it's probably gonna be one of those 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.760 typical wait and see on Friday type of deals. Are 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.400 how many games has he missed? How many games has 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:10.680 he missed in his career? I know he's had a 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:14.040 couple different injuries. Is this a situation where he's been 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:16.960 injured and not missed games or is this situation where 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.600 he's missed an order number of games in his in 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.319 his career? Memory might be hazy, even I don't remember 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.600 him missing games last year. I remember, you know, year 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.240 before that, he didn't miss any games. The year before that. 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.080 He broke his foot in the off season in off 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.120 season and then was back in time for the start 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:33.920 of the regular season. Okay, so he's just a guy 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.160 times right, He's he's had some injuries issues, and that's 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:39.960 what I was trying to get battle injuries every step 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.560 of the way. Even though he's had injuries, it sounds 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.360 like from what you guys are saying, he hasn't missed 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.200 games very often, which is a good thing. That means 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.760 that either he's able to play through pain, or he 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:50.800 had the injuries that have not happened in times when 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.280 they affected his ability to play. He had not missed 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.520 the game until now. He played all sex and yeah, 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.480 it's really good, so um, which yeah, tells you it 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.360 must be somewhat severe if if he is missing times 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:05.000 so and judging by the size of the rap on 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:08.560 his knee, yeah it sounds yeah, not great. So, but 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.640 if you're limited on Wednesday, that's typically a good sign. 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:13.600 So we'll see. So for all those guys, you feel 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:18.960 pretty good about their ability to play this weekend. Cheeto, Cole, DeMarcus, Antoine. Yeah, 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.160 Antoine's the other one. And that's which the fact that 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.520 David Irving was not at practice today is not awesome 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:29.240 if he is gonna miss because that's Jason Garrett not 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.560 only you know, I think Antoine Woods did pretty well yesterday, 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.040 but again, you see how he responds. He's definitely not 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.520 out of the Woods. So that defensive tackle situation is 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:42.000 kind of dicey. Need probably needs one of those guys 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.439 to step it up this week. All right, let's take 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:45.959 our first break when we come back. I want to 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:49.440 jump into the Texans defense. Let Day give us his breakdown. 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.520 We'll talk about some of these players on that defense 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:55.920 that are real, real difference makers. JJ Watt, Jadeveon Clowney, 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:57.400 We'll talk about some of those guys we come back. 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.160 This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

All right, let's step 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.640 back into sure do it seems like there's an inside joke. 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:39.720 Dave likes next next the Empire. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.120 There's an inside joke. There's somewhere because of the way 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:46.000 Nick said Dave at Sushi Marquis. That is a fact. 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.440 All right. Then we'll talk about it off absolutely and 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:51.240 we'll decide whether she go on there.

Sushi markis 0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.520 all right, good, all right, Dave, It's time for you 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.720 to give us your breakdown of this Texans defense versus 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.400 the Cowboys offense. Well, what did we say yesterday? We're like, 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:09.280 why is this team? One in three? Okay, let's go. 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:12.600 I mean, I don't want to dog him too much 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.200 because there's some talent here. I'll start with the scary part, 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.880 which is obviously the front. Nobody listening to this needs 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:22.080 an introduction to JJ Watt or Jadeveon Clowney, and they 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.480 are playing like you would expect them to. Watt is right, 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.040 so Whit's back. Wat's back. He is what he was before. 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:32.480 I don't know if he is the guy that I 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:36.760 would have voted for NFL MVP in fourteen or fifteen? 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.480 Was it? I don't know, when he was literally just 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:40.840 trying to drag him into the playoffs on his own, 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.280 when he was just stroying offensive lines. If he I 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.760 don't know if he's that guy. But he's still damn good, 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:47.400 which is the point. And they don't need him to 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:50.040 be that guy because Jadeveon Clowney can be that guy. 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:54.800 He's got He's got sacks. He's got oh my god, 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:56.920 he you know, you remember the play in college where 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.240 he just single handedly blew up that Michigan guy. He 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:03.160 can still do that in the pros, which is terrifying. Um, 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:07.320 these guys he's six five, two seventy And that's really 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.760 the thing that you notice the most when you watch them, is, Okay, 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:13.320 he's an end or a rush linebacker, but he does 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.920 everything like he plays on the right side. He plays 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.480 on the left side. They stand not And I don't 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.600 just mean they stand him up as a linebacker. I 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.720 mean I watched this guy blitz through the A gap 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:29.359 and just bulldoze the cults center and um nahem Hines 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.720 tried to block him because it's a screen pass, and 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:34.520 he just knocked him to the ground and then chased 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:36.960 Andrew Luck out of the pocket. And Hines was the 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:38.720 guy that was supposed to get the ball, so he's 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.000 scrambling to get it, like he just blows play. Blockers 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:43.159 are basically just speedbumps for him. He just kind of 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.280 go over them and keep going. Yeah. Um, the scary 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:49.000 thing for me, you know, given what we've talked about 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:54.280 with Cowboys inability to protect and Dak's pocket awareness, I 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:58.240 know I wrote this down. Where is this statum? They 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:04.080 have contributed on on five fumble plays and recovered four 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:07.960 of them. I believe they did it. Tho, Yeah, they 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:11.800 get in there. We go four fumble recoveries this season, 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.800 and they did it. They were created by those two guys. Yeah, 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:18.080 well one of them was the Colts center screwed up 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:20.919 and snapped it on the ground. But literally Clowney was 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.919 like wide nine on the left side or on the 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:27.280 right end position, ball hits the ground underneath the center, 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:29.399 and he cut through two blocks and dove on it 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:31.240 in the end zone and scored a touchdown. Like he's 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:34.480 just unbelievably athletic. I think if the Cowboys are going 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:36.280 to have a problem, it's going to be because of 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:38.720 those two guys, which you didn't need me to tell 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:45.000 you that. Good news is the secondary is very bad. 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:47.919 Like they're not good at all. Um. They are twenty 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:50.080 seventh in the league in passing defense two hundred and 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:54.639 eighty eight yards per game, and that is actually inflated 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.199 because they only gave up one hundred and ten passing 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:01.280 yards to none other than Blaine Gabbert. Because Marcus Mariota 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:04.400 was hurt and couldn't go so against good quarterbacks. They 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:07.720 gave up two sixty seven to Tom Brady, they gave 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.600 up two sixty five to Eli Manning, and Andrew Luck 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:13.080 threw for four thirty seven on them. They're not good. 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:17.639 I know. Jonathan Joseph had his moments in the past. 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.720 He looks like he's lost it. He used to be 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:23.320 a really good cornerment. He doesn't look good anymore, at 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:27.240 least not on the tape I watched. Aaron Colvin is 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:30.080 the guy. A J. Bouyer went off to Jacksonville and 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:32.720 he's part of that great defense. Aaron Colevin's not bad. 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.760 But these are just not lockdown guys, and it shows 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:38.320 like they give up separation they have to, like they 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:41.879 play soft because they have to. I think. So you see, 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:44.800 you know, Colts receivers are just running like ten yard 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:48.200 digs where the corners ten yards behind him because they're 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.200 so afraid of getting burnt over the top that they're 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:53.560 just giving up chunk after chunk. And then you know, 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:57.280 I'm the guy hammering on the safety situation. Tyron Matthew 0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:00.800
