Following the live Scott and now your 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:37.800 hosts Isaiah Stanback, heck My Harrison, Rob Phillips, and Kyle Yeomans. 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:43.760 It's a Wednesday edition of Talking Cowboys Week four, Episode 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.199 three here on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and our various 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:49.920 streaming platforms. Glad you're with us as we get you 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:53.680 ready for Brown's Week inside the Star in Frisco. Here 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:58.480 in the SWBC Mortgage Studios. I'm Kyle Yeomans alongside Rob Phillips, 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.760 heck My Harrison, and Great Isaiah. Stand back, gentlemen. It's 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.119 been quite the couple of days. There's been some more 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.400 Twitter drama. We're not gonna get into it. We're gonna 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:12.039 talk about the football side of things, previewing the Browns 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:15.720 offense and Jarvis Landry, Odell Beckham Junior in this entire 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:20.679 Cleveland high powered attack, Nick Chubb going up against this 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:25.000 pretty decimated Cowboys defense coming up in just a little bit. 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:28.480 But Rob, I know there's been a couple of additions 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.720 or at least workouts that the Cowboys have put on 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:35.720 the table this week, and some roster moves players off yesterday. 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:37.920 We don't have an injury report yet. That's kind of 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:41.320 the disadvantage I guess that we have as a show 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.720 in terms of going so early in the morning, we 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:45.440 don't get to see the injury report. But what have 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:47.040 you heard in terms of some of the ins and 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:52.320 outs of this Cowboys roster moving into Week four, Well, 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.040 I think the big one is Tyran Smith and what 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:59.040 he might do today. Mike McCarthy said in his press 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.080 conference on Monday that they sounded optimistic he might get 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.200 some work in today. We'll see if that happens. Obviously, 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.480 he hasn't practiced in almost two weeks, or basically two 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.200 weeks was the last time we saw him out there 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.640 after he hurt the neck and had had the singers 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:14.720 he's dealing with. So that's the big one to keep 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.639 an eye on. You mentioned roster moves. The Cowboys made 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:22.040 an alteration to their practice squad yesterday on the offensive 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:26.639 line with regard to probably Smith and Lyle Collins still 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:31.920 dealing with an injury. On ir Jordan Mills, which a 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.600 veteran guy that's you know, because of the new rules, 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.000 you're able to bring in a veteran guy on the 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.760 practice squad, and he's a guy that's been in the 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.000 league for six seven years, has eighty four career starts 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:44.880 at tackle, so some more insurance there. And they had 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:49.200 an open spot because Rondell Carter, highly touted undrafted hookie 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.800 that they brought in after the draft is off to 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:54.840 the Colts active roster, So trying to beef up that 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:56.880 old line just in case. I mean, it doesn't sound 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:02.280 it sounds not great about Lyle Collins. You know, I'm 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.720 not sure what his status is going to be going forward. Yeah, 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.800 there was a lot of uncertainty around Lyle Collins yesterday, 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:12.440 both Stephen Jones and Mike McCarthy on Monday saying that 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.480 they just don't really know, and then Jerry kind of 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:18.120 echoed that on his Tuesday interview with Sean and RJ, saying, 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.360 I don't know what's going on with Lyle Collins. The 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.800 training staff doesn't know. It's really kind of a curious 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.440 case moving forward. But HECMO whenever you look at some 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.320 of the additions that the Cowboys are going to have 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:32.839 to make they've really addressed the offensive offensive line. Rather 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.520 by taking Mills and putting him on a practice squad, 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.760 He's not necessarily going to be somebody to look for 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:41.160 right now. It's still gonna rely on branded Night. You're 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.680 still gonna rely on Terren Steele. But is this a 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.120 guy moving into maybe Week five, week six that you 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.840 could potentially see in that rotation at the tackle spot. 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.720 I think just the experience alone, Kyle gives me a 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.200 promise that this guy can come in and do a 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.200 good job for us. Will you look at a NFL 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.800 season all of the with injuries and all of that, 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.480 The Cowboys are just trying to find the best fit 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.200 for this team in case guys are not able to go. 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.400 So I like the move. I hate that we lost 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.080 the guy off of the practice squad that seemed like 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.560 a young defender that may have had some promise, But 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.320 that's just the way it is with all thirty two teams. 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.599 We're looking at everyone's practice squad and guys that are 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.920 inactive to see if there's a trade that can be made, 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.480 if you could pluck the guys from another team's practice squad. 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.320 Isaiah do you think that's kind of the move and 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.640 the thought process here in terms of bringing in Jordan Mills, 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.279 just groom a guy for a little bit, replace the 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.000 practice squad spot of Rondelle Carter, which I'll give you 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.400 a little insight here in a second, But whenever it 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.240 comes to this offensive line, just trying to find some 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:50.840 kind of extra depth anywhere you can. I mean, it's 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.280 all about, you know, adding assets, right. I mean, as 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.400 a general manager of a National Football League team, your 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.920 job is to acquire the most amount of talent possi 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.120 underneath your salary cap. That's the facts. You want to 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.840 assemble the most efficient team possible. And I think this 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.400 is just them doing their due diligence, and it would 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.760 be negligent of them if they did not continue to 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:15.680 add depth in competition at certain positions. Obviously there's a 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:19.200 competitive uh it's it's an open competition right now, seemingly 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.159 at the tackle position, So why not continue to add 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.560 add some more depth there. And if there's somebody who 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:27.039 can push somebody in practice, then hey, there you go. 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.120 It's all better for the team. You know. I knew 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.440 the name sounded familiar, guys because he he came through 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:35.120 the Cowboys roster for like a week when they had 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.400 some some depth issues at tackle back in twenty fifteen. 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.400 And he's been the Bill's starting right tackle for a 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:45.240 few years, so he's played in the league. And you know, 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:47.840 Cam Irving is another guy you got to mention because 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.039 Lyle's still on ir so is Cam Irving, and he 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.560 might be on there for another few weeks with the 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.720 spraying knee. So they've like, like Asaiah said, like Heck said, 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.880 just have another asset there. You know, you've already shuffled 0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:01.640 your line a little bit of the tackle position. You're 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:03.320 hoping to get tired back. But we'll see what they 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.400 do at right tackle. I mean, they thrived with Zack 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:06.880 Martin out there. I don't know if they want to 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.760 continue to do that, but they're awfully young. Beyond that 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:14.960 insurance policy, we talked about the potential of having Zack 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.719 Martin out at right tackle and keeping the best five 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.240 offensive linemen on the field, and I think maybe this 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.599 prevents you from doing so moving forward. You might still 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:26.560 see it in Week four, like I said, he's not 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.920 He's on the practice squad. He may be called up 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:30.919 for the game. But with a guy coming off the 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.520 streets out of free agency, you don't necessarily expect him 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.640 to make an immediate impact. As for the position on 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.560 the practice squad in which he's filling, Rondelle Carter the 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:43.680 edge rusher out of James Madison undrafted free agent. I 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.440 really liked Rondelle Carter coming out of the draft. I 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:50.680 was kind of surprised he wasn't taken in the actual 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:55.599 draft process. His signing bonus absolutely showed that one of 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.120 the the biggest signing bonus out of all of the 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.640 undrafted free agents, so the Cowboys side of things. But 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.680 he's plucked up off of the practice squad by the 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:07.240 Indianapolis Colts, is sixty three two hundred and seventy pound 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.240 linemen and somebody I really thought had a chance to 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.880 maybe make some noise. I think the reinstatement of Randy 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:19.200 Gregory maybe stifled his chance to finally make it active roster. Plus, 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.680 I wasn't necessarily encouraged by his training camp. I thought 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:26.840 he was outdone by fellow undrafted free agent Ladarius Hamilton. 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.440 I found Hamilton had a better training camp, and I 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.880 thought Carter was left a little to be desired. But 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.360 the Colts certainly found something they liked and they plucked 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.280 him up off the practice squad. Now looking ahead here 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:40.320 to Week four, Cleveland Browns coming in two and one 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.640 on the season, the Cowboys, of course at one and two. 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.000 This is going to be a matchup that a lot 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.640 of Cowboys fans have had circled as the get right game. 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.760 Such a tough schedule leading into the year. Whenever you 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:56.000 talk about three straight teams that well, the only loss 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.240 that the Rams have had was nail biter loss to 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.720 the Bills. You talk about Atlanta, that's a team that 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.520 right now should be two and one. It might be 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.480 the best oh and three team I've seen in a 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.640 long time. The fact that they're two and one or 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.560 they're not two and one is kind of a kind 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.040 of criminal on that side of things. And then you have, 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.480 of course the Seattle Seahawks, who a lot of people 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.040 believe are one of the favorites in the NFC. But 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.640 now you get this quote unquote get right game for 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.960 the Cowboys isay, yeah, that's not necessarily what this is. 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.840 This is a Cleveland team that's not your normal Cleveland 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:33.400 team going into this week. Absolutely not, I think in 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.240 recent years because you know, everybody brings up the Cleveland Browns, 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:39.800 They're like, oh, we got a second bye week. That's 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:43.040 not the case. We know Cleveland has been working hard 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:45.560 trying to figure this thing out for the last I 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.439 would say about five years, right. They've been shuffling around coaches, 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.880 they've been acquiring, you know, all these offseason acquisitions and 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.440 free agents. They've been trying to develop Baker Mayfield. So 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.600 they have been working diligently to trying to assemble a 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:00.600 team that can go out there and put the other wins. 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.920 And it seems as if they might have found a 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.240 little something with the squad that they have this year, 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.400 as they are now what two and one? Um they 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.200 are they are. They have a very well respected offense. 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.400 Their defense has been respected for a number of years now. 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:17.520 So I mean, this is not this is not the 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.240 easy game that you that you would like to see 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.360 on your schedule getting excited about, especially coming off of 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:27.440 you know, a loss here against Seattle. Heck, you know 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.600 that movie Draft Day with Kevin Costner. Yeah, and they 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:34.079 were just the it was like it was like truth 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.240 Stranger than fiction kind of thing where they were really 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.800 they were just much maligned and at the first pick 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.440 for years, It's that's not the case anymore. I think 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.720 they're two and one for the first time since twenty fourteen. 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.520 So yeah, they're above above five hundred for the first 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.400 time since December of twenty fourteen. And just to get 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.440 an idea of how long ago that was, Johnny Manziel 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:56.400 was the starting quarterback the next week. It was his debut. 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.520 The week after, they were one game above five hundred. 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:07.280 So it's been quite some time, Oh, Johnny, Johnny Manziel, Sorry, 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:12.640 I thank you. No. When it when it comes yes, 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.280 when it comes down to the Browns and Isaiah, you're 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.560 back in. You're back in the Isaiah standback studios there 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:20.720 and I could and I can hear you bawl in 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:22.760 the water for what you're about to cook up for. 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.080 He got the hey, he got the big spoon out. 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.360 He's getting ready to serve this dish. Like the Browns 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.560 have been a dumpster fire for years. And you look 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.520 no further than the fact that they've had what six 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:40.840 general managers in nine years, and all of the coaching, 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.480 the coaching changes and things that have happened. And I 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:47.360 think coach Kevin Stefanski is a young gun coach that's 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.960 going to be on the rise. But he has benefited 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.400 from the fact that he hasn't had any preseason games 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:56.200 and a lot of people don't realize what he's going 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:59.240 to do with Baker Mayfield. He came into this knowing 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.640 that he had to cure this third year quarterback, that 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.680 last year man. He just it was a dismal The 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:09.480 turnover to touchdown ratio was really bad for the Browns 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.640 last year that had the tenth round pick in the draft, 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.160 because they finished six and ten, and so the things 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:16.920 that they have done, and I will just point to 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.520 the fact that yes, offensive line wise, they they have 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.440 gotten some better guys and shored up that right tackle 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:27.800 position with Conklin and Jedrick Willis the left tackle out 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.920 of Alabama. But the Dallas Cowboys are gonna have a 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.640 lot of opportunity versus the Cleveland Browns because the Cleveland 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.200 Browns they like to load up and do that student 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:40.280 body right, student body left with Mick Chub which Chub 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.240 and look, it's just we're just gonna be in a 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:46.120 situation if this is a get right game, then we 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:48.680 have the perfect opponent to get right because they're not 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:52.880 gonna throw a lot of sophisticated, sophisticated formations at us. 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:55.439 And they're also not going to throw the ball nearly 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.520 as much as the first three games of the season 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.720 as well. I mean, we're not out here looking at 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.880 Jerry at golf, Russell Wilson and Matt Ryan, and week 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.880 four you're looking at a dual headed backfield, which hopefully 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.560 your defensive line is up to the challenge to stop. 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:13.640 I haven't seen anything truly worrisome in terms of stopping 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.120 the run the first three weeks, maybe with the exception 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.160 of Malcolm Brown in week one in that three headed 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:23.239 offense that we saw from the Rams perspective, But overall, 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.600 the trouble has been stopping throwing the football. But do 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.120 you expect maybe Baker Mayfield to let it loose a 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:31.720 little bit more and try and get it into the 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:35.520 playmakers of Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Junior Robbis we 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:37.800 head into week four just based off of the fact 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:42.120 that that's where the Cowboys are susceptible. You know, that's 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:45.360 a good question. I know yesterday you asked us what 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:48.200 concerns you most about their offense? And I think I 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.280 think heck. And I said the receivers and covering their receivers, 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:55.480 and that's obvious with Beckham and Jarvis Landry. But after 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.719 watching them a little bit on game Pass yesterday and 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.080 they all twenty two, I mean, I'm with Isaiah now. 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:02.960 I think it's got to be they've got to hone 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:04.840 in on their run game and be able to stop 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.120 them from going downhill, because that's what they want to do. 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.400 They don't they don't want um. They don't want Baker 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.199 to cook. They don't want to let Russ cook thing 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:16.160 going and leave them that they want. They want balanced offense. 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.200 They want to establish the run and they want to 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:20.560 get some play action going. And where they've had trouble 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.280 is when they've gotten in third and longs um and 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.440 and Baker's forced to really just make something happen, and 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:30.040 sometimes he'll he'll do something impulsively. And I think they 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.280 had an interception on their first series of the season 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.760 against Baltimore. They got blown out by Baltimore and it 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:38.280 was a third and long situation. UM. So they want 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.840 to establish the run, and that's I'm with you, Kyle. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.320 I think overall they've done pretty solid against the run. 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.760 Dallas as defensively. But Chub is a guy that's just 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:48.720 going to move the chains. I mean, he had more 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.520 ten yard runs than anybody in the league last year, 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.280 and Zeke I think was third. But but he's going 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.280 to continue moving the chains. And Hunt is such an 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.920 interesting player because he can he can be that compliment 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:00.679 in the running game or they can. They can put 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:02.440 him out wide and he can do and he can 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:06.000 hurt you there too. Yeah, that's that's going to definitely 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:09.480 be the challenge with those two running backs and Rob Again, 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:14.880 that's the Kevin Stefanski's cure for Baker Mayfield is setting 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:17.680 up that run game for him and making sure that 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.920 he's throwing short yards passage. I mean they're doing slants, 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.800 nine routes, out routes, curls, things that are just easy 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.480 for him. Those slow developing plays that they had last 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.600 year that just killed his QBR. I think they've pretty 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:34.240 much ex may those things out of the playbook for him. Yeah, 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:41.480 Isiah yeah, man, yeah, yeah, yeah, No, here we go. 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:50.920 All I'm gonna say is make Dallas needs to respect 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.840 his team. Dallas really needs to respect his team. I 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.680 have been on teams, I've been in organizations. I've been 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.880 in seasons where you have looked past opponents and opponents 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.080 I'm in there and bush you and your dog on mouth. 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.800 I was in New England in two thousand and that 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:07.880 was two thousand and ten when we played we had 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:09.240 a first round buying and all of a sudden, we 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.760 played Baltimore. Baltimore comes in and we're like, all right, 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:13.680 they're a good team, but you know we're better, and 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.240 they came in and and freaking ray Rice took off 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.120 on the first play for eight yards at the middle end. 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:20.240 We got ourselves busted in our mouth and we should 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.120 have been out there competing for a ring. You cannot 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:27.800 under rate and overlook this team because, as you guys 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:32.760 mentioned Kareem Hunt, let me back this up, Cleveland's offensive 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:40.280 line is nasty, right They nasty. They're they're mc nasty 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:44.520 McDonald's they're getting to McNasty, all right, and that's what 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:48.360 you want as an offensive line. Right So where I 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.400 said when I said yesterday is where Cleveland is strong. 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.920 Dallas is weak right now. And I'm not talking about 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:57.120 I'm talking about I'm not talking about on paper, I'm 0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:00.480 talking about in general way, Dallas has been playing in 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:04.240 certain areas of the game, certain positions. That's where Cleveland 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.240 is strong, and that's what worries me wanted to this game, 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.040 I doubt. Let me be very clear, guy, know Heck's 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:13.080 gonna try to twist my words. Dallas, I feel like 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:18.800 is a better team Cleveland by the stats and by 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:22.760 their record. Cleveland is playing better right now, right And 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:24.040 let me let me give you just a little bit 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.280 of information here, Heck, before you, before you, before you 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:31.400 you get killed me here. Uh, Baker Mayfield has sixty 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:36.080 sixty two as fast as completed Dak Prescott sixty seven. 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:41.800 Baker Mayfield has only had to attempt eighty five passes. Yeah, yep, 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.160 Dak Prescott has had an attempt one hundred and forty 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:50.120 three one. Browns are two on one, Dallas Cowboys are 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.840 one and two. Right, So, when we started talking about 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.520 some of these things, and like Kareem Hunt, Kareem Hunt 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.680 has two hundred and four yards rushing already. Nick Chubb 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:00.920 has two hundred and ninety two yard is rushing already. 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:04.200 They are running the ball. And as we talk about 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.320 I'm not going to make a comparison to Baker Mayfield 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.080 to Deck that's not what I'm doing. But what I'm 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:11.080 saying is he's being asked to be a game manager. 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:14.040 He's being asked to be what Russell Wilson was years ago, 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.000 before he before he is who he is now. He 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:20.640 just just don't lose the game, right turn around, hand 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.000 the ball off to your two dogs back there. Let 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.919 this old line establish a run, manage to clock, and 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.640 put ourselves in a situational football to win the game. 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:30.480 And that's what these guys are doing. And that's why 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:32.679 I say that these guys are a little bit dangerous 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:37.159 right now. I think that's a great point brought up 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:40.399 by Isaiah, the fact that early in Baker Mayfield's career, 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.520 as the number one overall pick and as the quarterback 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:47.600 who's supposedly going to be the savior for this Brown's franchise, 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:49.560 there's a lot of pressure on him. There was a 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.520 lot of pressure to perform. They really threw him into 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:54.480 the fire immediately. They made him throw a ton of 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:58.040 passing attempts. And now with a supporting cast around him, 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:00.919 he doesn't have to have that kind of pressure. He 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:04.359 has an opportunity to kind of sit back and find 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:06.800 his weapons and be able to go back behind what 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.240 is a much improved offensive line. I know you guys 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.560 are talking about Mick nasty in terms of the good 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.320 part of the word. It was pretty nasty in terms 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:17.600 of the bad part of the word for much of 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:20.840 Baker Mayfield's career that was not a good offensive line. 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.359 But like you said, Jedrick Wills Junior, who's just a 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:26.240 fantastic pickup in the draft. They got him a tenth 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:29.480 overall this year and he's been pretty solid as the 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:31.840 left tackle for the brown so far. You have the 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:34.840 other side with Conklin. You've shirt up the edges, the 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:36.960 interior still has a little bit to work on. You've 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:38.760 got a veteran in the middle, which is nice, and 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.000 you have some guys that you can rely on from 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.359 a Brown's offensive line perspective, and that's one of the 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:45.960 reasons why they are the only team in the NFL 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:49.040 with two two hundred yard rushers in Nick Chubb and 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.480 Kareem Hunt. But we'll have to see how the Cowboys 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.120 combat that. In terms of slowing them down. We're gonna 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:56.600 talk about how to slow down those receivers with a 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.800 banged up secondary. After this first break, when we come 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.400 we'll talk about Jarvis Landry Odell Beckham Junior and how 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:05.520 in the world or the Cowboys going to slow them 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:07.359 down because they've struggled to do that so far. This 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:11.280 sees it when we return here on talking Cowboys.
