Speaker 1: for these guys. We're going to hit a lot of

13
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: different topics and hopefully we'll get to some questions from

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: give you guys a big picture look at this team

19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: coming off another loss now at three and three, facing

20
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: a probably the biggest division threat that they have this week,

21
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: and then heading into a buy so very very very

22
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: very critical game. We'll get into a little bit more

23
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: about that game tomorrow and Thursday, but sup, big picture today,

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: how's everybody feeling good? Feel good? Thanks us. Let's jump

25
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: right in. I have probably about I don't know about

26
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: seven or eight questions here, and they're gonna be on

27
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: a range of different topics. Obviously a lot of them

28
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: have to do with problems, because right now, when you

29
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: go three and three and you've lost the last three

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: in a row, there are lots of problems. So let's

31
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: start first with this question. What has been the biggest

32
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: or the bigger offensive problem wide receivers not getting open

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: or dropping the ball, or offensive line not blocking well.

34
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I would say offensive line not blocking well

35
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: because you know, and there's reasons for that. We know

36
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: that you don't have to sit there and you know,

37
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: talk about that. But yeah, I would say the offensive

38
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: line has been a struggle whether or not there were

39
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 1: one hundred percent healthy or the guys that are healthy

40
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: are not black and well, I would say that, and

41
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: I think that stems too. If you can't create the

42
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: gaps for Elliott or even Polar whoever is in, then

43
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: you start going to the receivers. I mean, that's obviously

44
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 1: it's a problem in and of itself since they can't catch.

45
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: But I'd agree, I think the offensive line has not

46
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: been what it needs to be. And we've talked for

47
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: how many weeks about the drop off between your starting

48
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: tackles who are out Tyren Smith and Lyle Collins with

49
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Iden cam Fleming. However, that can't just be an

50
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: excuse every team. You have to have depth and you

51
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: have to learn to adjust, and something's not working to

52
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: Nick's point, and I think Derek brought it up yesterday.

53
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: And obviously the problem with the tackles being healthy, but

54
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: you know, the interior hasn't played well. Connor Williams has

55
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: had his growing pains throughout the season. Travis, Frederick and Martin.

56
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: I think the Jets game is a second game this

57
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: season where they didn't seem like they played a very

58
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: good game, the Saints game being the other one. I mean,

59
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: we all know Zach is dealing with with a back

60
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: injury of his own, but yeah, to quote de Marcus Lawrence,

61
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: nobody cares. But yeah, they haven't. They haven't played up

62
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: to that standard they think they probably they did for

63
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: those first three games, which you know, look at the

64
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: competition and that might help explain it. At this point,

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: based upon what you've seen, you've seen, would you move

66
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: forward with putting Xavier Suafilo in in place of Connor Williams. Well,

67
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that you were not on the

68
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: show last week or two weeks ago when I said that,

69
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: So I missed a show. Yeah, I think so I'm

70
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: part of a show. Yeah, Nick did say that. I

71
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: feel like I've said that a lot. So when you're

72
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: all in on that, I'm all in. I'm all in

73
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: because I just feel like he is a stronger player

74
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: physically stronger to do that. And last time they put

75
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: him in against the Eagles, I mean he kind of

76
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: handled Fletcher Cox as well as you can. So I

77
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: think that, Uh, I think it would be good, especially

78
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: with the situations that they have on the outside and

79
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: all that. I think he's he's a he's a good

80
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: veteran player, and I think this is it would be needed.

81
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: Just trying to go off of previous years when things

82
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: weren't going well, I think they would they were going

83
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: to do that and do it during the bye week.

84
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: If Connor Williams struggles again, in this game, and he

85
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: might with Fletcher Cox being on that defense. Would you do?

86
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: That's what they did, right, That's what they did. So

87
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: they did last year redskin game. He was not good

88
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: Connor Williams and bye week, yeah, well they they they

89
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: fired Paul Alexander and kind of switched things up. And

90
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know that Connor didn't get benched.

91
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: He got hurt, right, but and they just didn't get

92
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: his job back. They've made personnel moves during the bye

93
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: week like that before. What I mean, you can go

94
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: all the way back to fifteen when they benched Brandon

95
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: Whedon for Castle et C. What would I do? I

96
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not an offensive line expert by any means.

97
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: I that it feels convenient to be like, well that's

98
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: that's the problem, and that'll that'll fix it, and don't

99
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: give me probably just I'm not pouring everything to corner.

100
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: There's a lot of problems on this team, in particularly

101
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: the offensive line. But my point though is, I guess

102
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: what I'm asking you is is his play if you

103
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: just take his play by itself, knowing that you have

104
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: another guy like Xaviers to a fellow who you've seen

105
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: play and you feel like he's a pretty good player.

106
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: Do you think there's an upgrade in moving Xavier into

107
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: the starting lineup over Connor? I know, we I mean,

108
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: he did play well against the Eagles, but he played

109
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: several games last year and they weren't all beautiful. Like

110
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, if if he was like this pro bowler

111
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: sitting back there, maybe I'd feel differently. But no, I

112
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: think I'm I'll roll forward with it and hopefully you

113
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: get tiring back for this game or you certainly expect

114
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: you would get him back after the bye week. And yeah,

115
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't I don't feel super strongly about that. Ny.

116
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: That was kind of my thought. I was when I

117
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: if you get tiring back. Is this as much of

118
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: a discussion as people are thinking about, right? Are we

119
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: just more focusing You're seeing Connor Williams and you're expecting

120
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: him to step up more since Tyring is out? I

121
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. I guess maybe, I mean,

122
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: he's obviously Suaphilo is practicing, and but maybe you do

123
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: try more in the you know, those those first team reps.

124
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: I just think that when what you saw from you know,

125
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: the third and short fourth you know, fourth and short.

126
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: I just feel like that that he gives you a

127
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: little bit more, He gives you a lot more strength

128
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: at there because I remember Connor was a tackle that's

129
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: moved to guard. I don't think that Suphilo has ever

130
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: been anything more than an interior player. So um. I

131
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: know it wasn't perfect last year, but I mean, you know,

132
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: he just happened to be in the starting lineup for

133
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: that last you know run of seven out of eight games,

134
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: and you know, Cooper was probably the bigger reason for

135
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: the offensive turnaround, but I think he helped. I do.

136
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: I do think he helped in there. And I get it.

137
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: It seems like it's you're you're just picking on one

138
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: guy to be like, well, you're the problem, you know,

139
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: But but when you look at across the board guys

140
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: that aren't playing well, and then who's behind him, drop

141
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: off between Dak and Cooper. I'm not a rush I'm

142
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 1: not saying that that's the problem, but I'm just saying

143
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: drop offs between the backup and that I think that's

144
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: the closest one on the entire team because Suaphilo, you know,

145
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: basically didn't give him his job back last year. Son

146
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: Connor Sufilo, I think is the closest backup to the

147
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: starter on any spot on the team. From that standpoint,

148
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,559
Speaker 1: is it fair to at least ask the question about

149
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,119
Speaker 1: the center and whether your backup can give you maybe

150
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: more than what you're getting from Travis Rage I'm talking

151
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: about Joli. Yeah, it's fair. That's that's that's fair. But um,

152
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, like Dave said, I'm not an offensive

153
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: line expert on that one. Well, that is I think

154
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: that's in terms of in terms of like watching I mean,

155
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: we have access to NFL Game Pass. You can go

156
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: watch the All twenty two and get an idea of

157
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: what's going on. It's very hard to evaluate that if

158
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: you haven't played it or coached it or you know,

159
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean, broad Us has a lot of leeway to

160
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: speak on that with not just his scouting experience but

161
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: his spirits playing offensive line, you can do your best like, oh, well,

162
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: you know he got beat or but you don't know

163
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: the protections, you don't know what each guy's a simon

164
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: is And I just I mean Connor and I said

165
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: it at the top of the show. I don't think

166
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: Zach and Travis played very well in that game, but

167
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm not ready to say like that, is

168
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: this just like blinking red light about why they're losing

169
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: these games and they've got to do something drastic. I'm

170
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: just I'm just not all the way there. I think, honestly,

171
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: I'd rather they just stop trying to run into unfavorable looks,

172
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: like how about they do that instead. I don't think

173
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: we realized to have the importance of the Amari Cooper

174
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: injury in that game. I mean, yeah, they lost the game.

175
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: I don't think they lose the game if Cooper is

176
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: not hurt, and I don't think it's really that close. Okay, well,

177
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: then let's I just think Amari Cooper being out for

178
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: that particular game I think was a fourteen to seventeen

179
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: point difference, that they probably win the game by two touchdowns.

180
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: I believe that. Okay, so let's take this. This is

181
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: your next question. You set this up perfectly. Which player

182
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: is more critical to the Cowboys offensive success? Mary Cooper

183
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: or Tyron Smith. Honestly, the answer has been Tyron for years,

184
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: and I feel stupid saying it's probably a Mari Cooper,

185
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: but I think it probably is because who backed him.

186
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: Up eleven. I mean you wind up trying to make

187
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: it work with Michael Gallup, Cedric Wilson and Tavon Austin.

188
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean Tavon Austin was playing outside for a pretty

189
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: big chunk of that game, and we saw the difference there.

190
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: He can make some plays if he gets lined up right,

191
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: and that's that's That's not really a knock on him.

192
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: He's not really that type of guy. He's an inside

193
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: guy that those guys make mistakes when they're out there

194
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: that they're not lining up on the right spot cost

195
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: them a big play in the game. I think when

196
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: you're talking about drop offs between the starter and the backup,

197
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: I think Amari Cooper to Cedric Wilson is a bigger

198
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: drop off than Tyron Smith to Cam Fleming. As weird

199
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: as that sounds, I'll go to my grave and it's

200
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: just like, the offensive tackle play is not why they

201
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: lost the Packers or the Jets. I'm not saying those

202
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: guys played great. I mean, you know that there was

203
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: a big dispute on Talking Cowboys yesterday about Dak getting

204
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: hit like Dak took a lot of those shots, extending

205
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: plays outside of the pocket, like It's not like he

206
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: just had two, in particular two of the biggest hit

207
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: tablet outside the pocket. Yeah, it's not like he had

208
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: no time to throw and there were just got I mean,

209
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: go watch at lant At twenty seventeen if you want

210
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: to see what that looks like. I don't think this

211
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: was that well. And again, sorry, but he saw the

212
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: Jets do it all day, like, get the ball out

213
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: of his hand faster, help your tackles. I don't like,

214
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, the old do what we do thing like.

215
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys could be better at adjusting their

216
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: play calls to suit who's on the field for them.

217
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: But I think drop off in the passing game is

218
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: pretty severe without Amari Cooper and especially I mean Michael Gallop.

219
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: And you know, I gotta give Amber credit. She called

220
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: out the receivers last week. I didn't think it was

221
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: justified based on what we had seen to that point,

222
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: but it was an ironic twist of faith that the

223
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: first time Gallup was called upon to be more without

224
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: Cooper in there, he wasn't up to it, and that

225
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: only kind of highlighted the problem. So if you told

226
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: me I could have one of the two for this game.

227
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: I think I'd rather have Cooper than tying me too, Yeah, adn't. Yeah,

228
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: I agree, And I think we've seen that, I mean,

229
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: last year without Cooper and you get so excited and

230
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: we see such great things from Gallop and he even

231
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: said he's like, it's on me. He's in locker room

232
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: yesterday he goes, I had three passes I should have

233
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: had and I don't know what you do differently. He

234
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: didn't really have an answer in terms of how you

235
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: execute better. But there is a big drop off and

236
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: he's the guy and he did not perform, and Cedric

237
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: Wilson did not set up the way he need to.

238
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: We saw some good plays from Tavon, but there just

239
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: wasn't enough. And if you know, if we're going to

240
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: talk about the injuries, I think that if if you

241
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: had to tell me, you know, make a bet on

242
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: which player is going to be able to play in

243
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: the game, I would say Tyrant Smith over Amari Cooper.

244
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: Doesn't look like Amara he's gonna play. And I'm basing

245
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: that off of the fact that he had no shot

246
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: of coming back in that game, Like he wasn't trying,

247
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: he wasn't he was just sitting there. I know he

248
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: was in a lot of pain, but he was just

249
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: sitting there. It wasn't close to coming back. I just

250
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: have a hard time thinking then he's going to be

251
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: able to be back for this game. Yeah with the

252
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: bye week sitting there and doesn't. Yeah, it doesn't. I

253
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: don't feel good about it on Tuesday. But real quick

254
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: about that, we've seen this free years one of the

255
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: bye weeks there. It's so much easier to just rest

256
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: the guy one more game and knowing that that's there

257
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: and they cannot do that. They if these guys are

258
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: healthy to play, they got to play. It's the biggest

259
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: game of the year. I will say this, I think

260
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: a lot of their problems offensively originate on the offensive line.

261
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the things we've seen, particularly

262
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: in the last three games, have been issues at start

263
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,599
Speaker 1: at the offensive line. Other guys have their hand in,

264
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: and but I think it starts with the offensive on

265
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: The problem is and goes to what you guys are

266
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: saying here. Last year, the Cowboys were not doing very

267
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: well until they got Amari Cooper and then everything changed. Essentially,

268
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: if you don't have Amari Cooper in this offense, you're

269
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: going back to that this wide receiver by committee that's

270
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: proven not to work with the current set of players.

271
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: I just don't think it's there yet. They looked a

272
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: lot better in this game against the Jets than they

273
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: did during those lean games before a Cooper got there.

274
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: I differ. I disagree with that. I think I think offensively,

275
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: particularly in the first set, like they were they were

276
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: having a hard time getting any kind of rhythm going.

277
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: It was because they didn't have reliable catches like there

278
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: were there were opportunities there, but they didn't have anybody

279
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 1: stepping up to make the player. Don't get me wrong,

280
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: they obviously didn't play well, but like it's a testament

281
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: to how atrocious they were against Carolina in Seattle early

282
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: last season. Like that looked better than what we saw

283
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: in twenty eight. And I think both those teams probably

284
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: I would guess, are a little bit better or a

285
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: little bit better last year than what the Jets are

286
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: this year. Why would deposit And I mean, based on

287
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: what we've seen, I don't expect the Cowboys to take

288
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 1: advantage of it, based on what we've seen in the

289
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: last three weeks, But the Eagles might have the worst

290
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: secondary in the league, and we can get into that.

291
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: I'll see if they can. If the Cowboys can't take

292
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: advantage of that, let's take our first break. We come back.

293
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: I have some more questions. We'll talk a big picture

294
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys when we come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys

295
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: dot Com Radio. Well, a player can look good on paper,

296
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: it's when he's out on the field that you really

297
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: find out what he's made of. That's why the Cowboys

298
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: rely on more than just stats and scouting reports when

299
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: building their team. When picking a tractor, it's why you

300
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: should rely on more than just specs and features. You've

301
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: got to take it out and put it to the test.

346
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: let's get back in. We got some questions. We got

347
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: some other teams to get to before we get to

348
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Yeah, well that's I know. I'm just saying like,

349
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: as you said that, I was like, Oh, that's just

350
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: one more problem. That's just lingering out there. That'll be

351
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: a problem we deal with later. Um. All right, so

352
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: let's go back. Another question for you guys. This next

353
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: question is what is the what has been the bigger

354
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: defensive problem for this team? Pass rush coverage or run defense, Collie.

355
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: The fact that that there's been a seven second pause

356
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: tells you that everyone love thinking, Yeah, it's all of them,

357
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: and then they all kind of got to pick one.

358
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna say tackling, because if you have

359
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: to fix one, if you have to fix, pick fix one.

360
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: Which one do you think gives you the better chance

361
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: to fix the others? Pass rush? Pass rush to me

362
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: gives you you can I mean, if you get after

363
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,959
Speaker 1: his ass back there, then you can do a lot

364
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,719
Speaker 1: of things. Your coverage looks a lot even more than

365
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: run defense has their coverage with the exception of this

366
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: past game, like in the other five, was their coverage awful?

367
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: I would say the last two. I would say in

368
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: the last two they've probably had some issues in coverage.

369
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: I mean green Bay they scored a lot of points

370
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: in and some of that. I mean, they You're right,

371
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: they didn't get just destroyed. I've just seen some and

372
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: Rogers finished with two thirty eight and needed three or

373
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: four really Rogers esque throws to make it happen. You know,

374
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: I said it. I said it after that game. I

375
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: was like, that's gonna happen when you play him asked

376
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: the fricking pack the Lions about that. I mean, did

377
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: you see him last night? Yeah. One of the reasons

378
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: why I probably have a weird opinion about the secondary

379
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: with regards to the Packards game is because they're pack

380
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: They're tackling. Was also a part of the problem, yes,

381
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: and so I think I'm kind of equating that just

382
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: to the secondary in general. But you're right, from a

383
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: PAS defense standpoint, that wasn't the issue of that game

384
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: the first part. Cheeto Cheeto had a rough first half

385
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: against DeVante Parker against the Dolphin, But in general, it

386
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: has not been a week to week thing where I'm like, man,

387
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: this this still hasn't played up. I don't think Kedo

388
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 1: has played up to expectations as far as I'm concerned.

389
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: Nobody Robert Quinn is the only guy who's maybe Malik

390
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: Collins who's fitting that bill. I don't think the run

391
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: defense has been to the point where it's the biggest problem. Yeah,

392
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: the page of the Packers, they got after him, Aaron

393
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, you know, But I still think a lot

394
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: of that had to do with with how they were

395
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: trying to to, you know, try to get Aaron Rodgers

396
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: and the and the Packers have a great offensive line,

397
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: and they caught him and they gassed him, and you know,

398
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: and with with a big lead like that, they were

399
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: able to keep running the ball. But I think for

400
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: the most part, going up against Kamara, going up against

401
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: Levon Bell, I think the run defense has been okay,

402
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: not I think the biggest problem is the past rush.

403
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: They're just not getting there the past rush. I don't

404
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: think the run defense has been that good. All things

405
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: across that are all all that good. Say Quan did

406
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: his thing, They were really good against Kamara. Say Quan

407
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: did his thing. The jet well what no, they I

408
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: don't know what they haven't been that the pass rush.

409
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: I'm the guy that sits here every week and defends

410
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: to Marcus Lawrence, and I don't think he deserves as

411
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: much criticism as he's gotten. But man, all through training camp,

412
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: you're talking about Lawrence, you're talking about Quinn, you're talking

413
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: about Malik, and you know, we went on and on

414
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: about how, you know, the guys that they cut off

415
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: of this defensive line, we're going to be better than

416
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: the guys playing on a lot of other teams, and

417
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: it hasn't looked that way. I was singing that same thought.

418
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: I was like, I've been sitting here saying Quinn, he

419
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: doesn't need all this criticism. He's being double teamed. But

420
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: at some point, I mean Lawrence, Lawrence, yeah, sorry, yeah,

421
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: and so but at this point, we're six games in.

422
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: You have to find a way to start adjusting to

423
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: that and finding a way to get things done. They've

424
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: missed a healthy Tyrone Crawford. I mean he isn't he's

425
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: not healthy, but they they've missed that, you know, And

426
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 1: I think that him out there, he's one of those players.

427
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: And I know the fans don't really you know, think

428
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: he's all that good. But but the fact he is,

429
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: I mean, he's maybe his contracts really you know, it

430
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: used to be a really big contract. Now it's probably yeah,

431
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: it's not even that crazy anymore. But but the fact

432
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: that that he provides past rush and run stopping ability

433
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: from the defensive end position is is I think in

434
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: an underrated part of his game. It really is. And

435
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: him not being healthy for these last you know, you

436
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: just missed some games and then he's been back for

437
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: two and hasn't really been very impactful. Um. I'm telling you, though.

438
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you talked about calls that were missed.

439
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: I mean that I talked to him yesterday. One of

440
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: the biggest calls that that that ref's missed in that

441
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: game was the fact that he got punched in the

442
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: back of the head on a third down um or

443
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: from the goal line. That would have been that would

444
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: have really been a big play in the game. Um.

445
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: And you know, it's funny that guy must have not

446
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: seen that video. And that's been because I mean, punching

447
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: Tyron Crawford in the head like that, it's not really

448
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: the smart move, but whatever worked out worked out for

449
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: him for that time. He I mean right in the

450
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 1: middle of everybody. I mean, I saw it. I said

451
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: it to you and and I saw it on the replay.

452
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, yeah, I will say

453
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: which I guess the way you worded the question doesn't

454
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,719
Speaker 1: afford me to give this answer. But even having just

455
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: said what I said about the pass rush, like, if

456
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: you could pick anything to be disappointed about in terms

457
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: of preseason expectations, and right now, it's probably the play

458
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: of Layton vander esh and Jaalin Smith. Well, we're gonna

459
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: get to that. I got a question for on that.

460
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: I'm kind a question for you on that. All right,

461
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: let's go to this next question. Though this may take

462
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: the rest of the show, so feel free to go

463
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: as long as you want on this so far, How

464
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: does Kellen Moore's offense compare to Scott len hands better, worse?

465
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: The same which game we're talking about, we're talking about

466
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: the season as all of all of them pull it

467
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: all together, It's still better. It's still better at number

468
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: one in the league going into this game. I mean

469
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: it still probably is because again, like they had, they

470
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: put up four hundred yards of offense in this game. Yeah,

471
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: I think it's And that's kind that goes back to

472
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: my point is like throw on the tape of the

473
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: first Seattle game last year or the season opener against

474
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: Carolina if you need a refresher of just how bad

475
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: it was, Because I promise now. But MARII Cooper. I mean,

476
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: like the thing about it is is we talked about

477
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper being so much, you know, helping this offense

478
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: so much. I mean, I think you have to look

479
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: at the last eight games for Scott Lanahan in the

480
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: first you know, let's say eight games, when when he

481
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: gets eight games and then and then kind of look

482
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: at it, I think it's closer to the same. I like,

483
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: I like this offense better though, I think just because

484
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: I think he's got a better quarterback than he had

485
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: last year. I mean just I think Dak is just

486
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: improving to the point I think he's better. I think

487
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: this he's getting a little bit more production out of

488
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: the tight end spot this year because Witten, you know,

489
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: Witten's not what he was, but he's still you know,

490
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: he's still out there, he's still making some plays. And

491
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: I just think they're they're a little bit better. But

492
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: the red zone numbers what what? What is the red

493
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: zone they it's been cut in half since the losing

494
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: streaks started, Like they were insane in the red zone

495
00:23:54,880 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: and it's honestly, which good question. I'm still I'm still

496
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: annoyed by the whole well, Garrett's telling Kellen Moore what

497
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: to do thing, and we kind of talked about that yesterday.

498
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: There's there's no way to know that, but and it

499
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: cropped up after the Saints game. It sort of it

500
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: wasn't really talked about last week or the Packers week

501
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: because the game got out of hand. But like, I

502
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: don't know, how different has it looked to you in

503
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: these let's just say Jets and Saints, Like, how different

504
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: has it looked to you from what they were trying

505
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: to do, Because like all the fun stuff we saw

506
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: in the first three weeks has felt lacking. And I

507
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,479
Speaker 1: wonder if I wonder if some of that is because

508
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: the games got away from them. I wonder if some

509
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 1: of that is against lesser opponents, maybe they feel freer

510
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: to try different things than against really good teams that

511
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: they feel like, hey, every possession matters, so we gotta

512
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: be more conservative. I don't know what it is, but

513
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: you're right, it feels to me, at least, it feels

514
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: like the way that they call the first three games

515
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: it's different than the way they call it the last three.

516
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: I want I want to point this out too. I

517
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 1: hear this a lot about well you know, the score,

518
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: you know, was kind of they were behind the eight

519
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: ball there, the game got away from them. Whatever, you know,

520
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: they're getting down seventeen. He had to change. Just remember

521
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: that one of the reasons why the game got away

522
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: from him any team is because of the offense. You know,

523
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: like I think we forget that a lot. It's like, well,

524
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: they got down by seventeen. They got down to seventeen

525
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: because he didn't do anything in the first quarter or

526
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: for you know, so the Packer game got away from

527
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 1: them because they couldn't do anything. They were you know,

528
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand why things changed, but the first

529
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: part of the game and some of the Jets Cowboys,

530
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: they're the reason why the game is getting away from them.

531
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,719
Speaker 1: I agree with you in general principle. I think in

532
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: this game it was a bit different because the decisions

533
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: they made before the game, particularly with the wide receiver

534
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: position and who was active and inactive. That became apparent

535
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: very quickly because Amari goes out quick. And now, as

536
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: they talked about after the game, now they're running twelve

537
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: personnel a lot more than they probably would have gone

538
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: into that game expecting they would, and that does change

539
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: things when you now have two tight ends on the

540
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: field as opposed to three wide receivers. That drastically changes

541
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do with your offense. So I agree

542
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: with you generally, Yes, that's the case. But I think

543
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: it changed so much with Mari going out this game.

544
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: I think it really left him in a really bad situation.

545
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: For the record, Jason Garrett said yesterday that they really

546
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: they weren't anticipating that that was something that they were

547
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: going to have to deal with, Like they you know,

548
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: they didn't put him somebody's injury. Yeah, Mars. They didn't

549
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: put Devin Smith down thinking that a Mark Cooper might

550
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: only get a handful of plays. And if they, I

551
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: would have suspect they would have known that it would

552
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: have because completely different. But they didn't, Right, Yeah, No,

553
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: that that's sorry, That's that's a good point. I mean,

554
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: they ran a crazy amount of twelve personnel, but I

555
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 1: mean Marie Cooper, no, Marie Cooper seventeen runs on first

556
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: down out of twenty four opportunities. Yeah, bothers me. That's yeah,

557
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna take our final break, We're gonna

558
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: come back, and I'm gonna ask this question to our panel.

559
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,240

560
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: Smith and or Layton vander Esch. We'll talk about that

599
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,120

600
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: me some good answers. Here, I got one that's gonna

601
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: really start the pot a little bit. Let's talk about

602
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: the linebacker position. Should Sean Lee or Joe thom Must

603
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: be starting over Jalen Smith and or Layton Vandersche. Let's

604
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: start with you, Danny. What do your opinions are? I

605
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: think at this point I would start Lee. I would

606
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: I think we haven't seen any one. That is the

607
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: key part. Yeah, that sounds good. Now now one let's

608
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: go well he was starting over Laton at the beginning

609
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: of last year. Anyway, Yeah, I just okay, you haven't

610
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: You haven't seen enough of them and your best linebacker

611
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: when they're on the field, shn Lee? Okay, whose second

612
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: i'd want? Fifty five? I think it's Layton. Okay, Yeah,

613
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: I think Layton's at some moments when it wasn't isn't great,

614
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: But I think he's had more good moments than Jaylen

615
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: Ass personally. See this is where the whole You know,

616
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: they love to tell you the NFL's like a meritocracy,

617
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: but it's not always true true, and you know that's

618
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: not true. Is Jason Garrett really gonna risk whatever comes

619
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: with benching a defensive captain who's, you know, one of

620
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: the de facto leaders of the Hot Boys and is

621
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: kind of one of the public faces of this defense.

622
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: I don't really buy it. I will say this though,

623
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: the way that they play those guys, they don't necessarily

624
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: have to bench him. They can just start and they

625
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: can keep the starters the way they are and they

626
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: just start playing and they can do They've well, they've

627
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: already done it like we I mean, you know, Jalen

628
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: has gotten taken out for series throughout play accounts like

629
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: how many plays they're each getting. I can pull up

630
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: the packet. I haven't looked at it. If Smith Smith

631
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: got benched, it would set the NFL record for fewest

632
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: days between press conference and demoded. That's another thing too,

633
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: the league. Yeah, don't you think, no doubt it would

634
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: definitely be It would be headline news. But I'm right now,

635
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: when you're on a three game skid. I think you're

636
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: way more concerned about getting wins than all the extra

637
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: stuff around it, in my opinion. Yeah, and if you

638
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: feel like there's a player that's not getting that is

639
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: playing well, okay, and a player that's not playing as well,

640
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: I think that all things are fair game. Okay. Here's

641
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: another thing. Ezekiel Elliott great running back, right, What if

642
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: you put him at wide receiver? Would he be great? No,

643
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: he's not. He's a running back, So quit trying to

644
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: make Jalen Smith a defensive tackle and rush him against

645
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: the guard. That's not what he does. He's a linebacker

646
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: that needs to he's he needs those big boys up

647
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: front so he can run around. He's not one of them.

648
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: So I don't think he needs to be playing on

649
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: the defensive line and trying to rush and all that stuff.

650
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean, put him in position where he can do

651
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: he can sort of rush off the edge a little bit.

652
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: But it's got two saxes, you're right, I mean one

653
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: of them. Um. I'm not saying he wasn't a big play,

654
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: but I mean Carrie Hyder had Bridgewater out and he

655
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: kind of cleaned it up. But but him against the

656
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: defensive tackles. I don't like that play at all. I

657
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: don't like I don't like those little guys up there

658
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: because because that's not where mismatches are. You know, I

659
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: mean you don't. You don't. You can run a forty

660
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: yard dash and you can beat a guard all day,

661
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: but when you're right there in space, they get their

662
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: hands on him, they can't do anything. But I'm in

663
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: a place to be successful. I'd be more in favor.

664
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: I guess of more rotation and put Shawn Lee in there,

665
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: and it's yeah, Jalen is playing eighty six percent of

666
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: the snaps right now. Layton's at ninety, Shawn Lee's at

667
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: thirty five, Joe Thomas is at twenty one. Yeah, I'm

668
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: up in that on Sean quite a bit. Yeah, yeah,

669
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: Sean played even a little but well, so they played

670
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: sixty two defensive snaps against the Jets. Sean played thirty seven,

671
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: so he's up closer to fifty fifty percent. Jalen played

672
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: forty nine, which I can't do that math in my

673
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: head because I'm dumb, But forty nine out of sixty

674
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: two here I have a cvity that's boom. Look at

675
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: seventy nine that's gonna say it close to eighty. But anyway,

676
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: we go, oh, oh are you? I mean, first, I

677
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: kind of I kind of feel the same way, honestly,

678
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: and maybe maybe I'm just I don't know, maybe I'm

679
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: being an apologist, like i'd honestly, I'd rather just let

680
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: him play through it, like you know baseball. You think

681
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: they're going to play through it? Yes, I do. There,

682
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: I mean what you're saying. Jerry Jones's thing is always

683
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: it's like if you've seen a guy do it once,

684
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: you know he can do it. But I mean, okay,

685
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: get how to play football. You guys have watched him play.

686
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: You can say that about showing no and that's true.

687
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with giving him more snaps.

688
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm just I wouldn't quote. They used to say this

689
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: all the time about linebackers. You have three to play

690
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: two spots. Maybe it's you know, four to have two

691
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: spots now, But but maybe that's what they need to do.

692
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: They don't just need to like call press conference and

693
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: just bench the guys, but just rotating defensively do it.

694
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: I paid twenty one million a year for DeMarcus you know, Lawrence,

695
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: and he rotates with Kerry Hyders no matter the down

696
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 1: like down distanced. That's what they need to do. That's

697
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: that is like you're not gonna bench anybody because of

698
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: all the ramifications and and you know, keeping team morale,

699
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: but you rotate them more if you want to. And yeah,

700
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 1: Shaun Lee is a great player. He's played like he's deserving.

701
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with that, but like I'm

702
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: not benching people. And on top of that, like I

703
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: don't know, they're they're good players. And when a you know,

704
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: Mike Trout doesn't have slumps because he's incredible, but like

705
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: if he did baseball, you just keep You're just like

706
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: just keep getting up there and you'll work through it.

707
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: Like that's that's what's important mentally. Yeah, yeah, And I

708
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: agree with you generally, and I actually think that applies

709
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: a little more for Layton in my opinion. But I'll

710
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: ask you, guys, what have you seen from Jalen Because

711
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: I know Nick, you and I have talked about in

712
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: the press box. Sarah plays he just doesn't look right,

713
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: and he looks like he's lumbering out there. That way,

714
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: he agree with you, he is lumbering out there, and

715
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: so my question becomes, is that just my mind planing

716
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: tricks on me, or is this a situation where they're

717
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: legitimately like, that's who he is and that's who he's

718
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: gonna be. And because of that, it's not it's not

719
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: that he's getting worse or getting better. It's just that

720
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: that's who he is. There's certain things he is limited

721
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,479
Speaker 1: in what he can do, and he wasn't that guy

722
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: last year unless in which you know, and Nick has

723
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: made this point before, like he looks rough in the

724
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,439
Speaker 1: open field trying to tackle like wide receivers, but again,

725
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 1: he's a linebacker most linebackers. It's even it's even moving

726
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: in space, Like you get him down field where he's

727
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: having to chase a running back and he's having to

728
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: do it laterally. He doesn't look right. He doesn't look fluid.

729
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: And that's the part I'm more concerned about. He's made

730
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: some freaky plays moving laterally in the past, like again

731
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: the Deshaun Watson one and the album Kmara one from

732
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 1: last year come to mind. Have you have you seen

733
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 1: those this year? Um? I would bet I know. Layton

734
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: made one on Kimara this year that was really impressive.

735
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: Nothing springs to my mind. But I would bet there's

736
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: more there if I went back and looked at it,

737
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: not not that it's can you give me a study place? Yeah, Look,

738
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: eleven tackles in a row three straight games. I mean

739
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: that's a that's a good number right there, you know eleven. Uh,

740
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: he had three last week though, and and that that's concerning,

741
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: and he knows he had a bad game, that that

742
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: was a bad game for him. Yeah, yeah, I absolutely,

743
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,919
Speaker 1: I'm fine putting Sean on the field more. But like, yeah,

744
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: it's it doesn't need to be this big ceremonial process

745
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 1: of like benching somebody. Yeah, we don't. We don't sit

746
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: there and call out you know. Well sort of, I

747
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: guess the Marcus Lawrence, you know, I mean for how

748
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: they rotate those guys. But um, you know, it's just

749
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: it's just interesting because you don't want to put money involved,

750
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: but but it is sort of you know. And and

751
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: they they made the decision to make this guy way

752
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: more paid than any of these other defensive ends. But

753
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: yet Rod Marinelli still plays them the same way, you know,

754
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: And you would like to think that the guy making

755
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: twenty one million the year over the guy making six

756
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: hundred thousand shouldn't be rotating, you know, snaps like that.

757
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: All right, real quick, we're gonna get a phone call.

758
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: We got a call from Rob Out in Las Vegas.

759
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: Rob what up? Hey, guys, just looking at the offense

760
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: real quick. I think a couple of things. One. I

761
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: think Zeek now has turned into a grinder and not

762
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,280
Speaker 1: a home run hitter, and I think that affects this team.

763
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: I think they're missing Beasley. I think Colb is not

764
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: as good as Beasley for what they want to move

765
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: to change. Beasley's got better hands, and I just think

766
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: he's better at that. I think I think whiteness. I

767
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: think they would have been better which are and he

768
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: could stretch the field, especially the middle. I like Witt

769
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: and the old Man, but he's just too slow and defensively.

770
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: Nick's been talking about this for years. The reason why

771
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: I felt you need some big sack lineman is to

772
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: protect your sports car linebackers. Jaylen Smith and Van the

773
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: rest are not trucks. They have sports cars. They run sideline.

774
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 1: The sideline teams now realize we'll just run out of them,

775
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: and I don't think they've ever recovered from getting run

776
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: over against the rams and the playoffs. They look like

777
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: boxers who took up beatings and they don't want the contact.

778
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 1: The one thing about Sean Lee, I know he gets hurt,

779
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: but he will attack the whole and he will come

780
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: up and hit him. So will Joe Thomas. Uh, they're

781
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: not going to bench these guys. You know that you're

782
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: not gonna bench a guy just hate Jaalen Smith and

783
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: Van der esh is their their future? They just won't.

784
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: But I agree, I would like to see Sean Lee

785
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: on the field more, but this team doesn't really do that.

786
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: And let's and for one more thing, Xavier Woods and

787
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: Malie Collins. We fall into the trap every preseason. We

788
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 1: fall in love with training camp guys we hit, they

789
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: look so good, and we just have to realize that

790
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 1: that's stake football. You know, that's that's not real football.

791
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: We've seen it for years. And these guys get on

792
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 1: the field and they're just guys that they're nothing special,

793
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: and that's that's just hurt this team. All right, Thanks

794
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: for the call, O. The scary part about that call

795
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: is that I'm I'm not sure he's wrong about anything.

796
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 1: That's what's scary. I'm not sure I'm not. I don't

797
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: know about that. I don't like calling MALIEK. Collins just

798
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: a guy, I think, but MALIEK. Collins, which we I

799
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: talked about this a week or two ago, is like

800
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: at training camp, what do you see, Like you see

801
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: the ability to rush the passer, and he is good

802
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: at that. He's been good at it this year in

803
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: my opinion, fake football, though, Well it is, and you

804
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: don't see the run defense aspect of it. You don't

805
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: see that, and they haven't been good at that. And

806
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: you know, Rod Marinelli values these undersized defensive tackles who

807
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: can get up field. It hasn't looked great against the run.

808
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: And I think that's a very good point when it

809
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: comes to why Layton and Jalen might not be playing better.

810
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 1: It would be great if the defensive tackle they drafted

811
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: was good enough to get a game. Jersey. I don't

812
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: think that makes Tristan Hill a bust, but it's certainly

813
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: disappointing that a guy you drafted in the top sixty

814
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: isn't good enough to be playing like it. Is absolutely disappointed.

815
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: And then you take that part and then you go

816
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: with the party. He said about Xavier Woods kind of

817
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: being a guy, and then you realize that they took

818
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 1: Tristan Hill over a guy Juan Thornhill, who's playing really

819
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: well for the Chiefs right now, getting interceptions and making

820
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: some plays. And then you couple that with the fact

821
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: that Xavier Woods is just kind of just playing okay,

822
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: and you have to go no farther than this last

823
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: week to see what a great safety can do to

824
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: change games. And the Cowboys don't have a plus safety

825
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 1: right now that I at any level even close to that.

826
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: That guy reminded me of I hate saying this because

827
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: this guy's Hall of Famer, but he reminded me of

828
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: Troy Polam because every time I watched the Steelers play,

829
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: if it was a blitz, he was there right there

830
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: or right on the last scrimage. But then when it

831
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: was a deep ball, he was back there like everywhere.

832
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: He just guessed right, and an instincts allow you to

833
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: do that. And I thought Jamal Adams was everywhere in

834
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: that game. I told you trade for him. The other

835
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,439
Speaker 1: part I don't necessarily agree with from now, we would

836
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: before the game, so you don't take the light. The

837
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: other part of the uncle I don't necessarily agree with

838
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: was the Beasley and Cobb. Yeah, by having Cobb, I

839
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: think Cobb is much better for yards after catch. I

840
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: think still stronger would disagree. Really, Beasley is a better player,

841
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: I honestly don't be a better player for what you're

842
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 1: trying to do with with Cooper and Gallop now able

843
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: to kind of stretch a little bit more than than

844
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: you ever had, and they're versatile. I think the move

845
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: the chains guy is better. Yeah, Cobb can stretch it, okay,

846
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: but when when? But there were a lot of games.

847
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: There were a lot of games over his career I'm

848
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: talking about Cole, a lot of games where he didn't

849
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: show up, couldn't get open. So you tell me, yeah,

850
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: he's a move the chains guy, but he's not always

851
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: getting open. He's not and making play. So I still don't.

852
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: I still believe that they are about the same player

853
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,439
Speaker 1: from the standpoint of them being able to get open

854
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: catch the ball. I do think the Cobb adds an

855
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 1: additional dimension that Beasley doesn't necessarily add from the standpoint

856
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: of being able to get down field and if he

857
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: needs to playing outside a little bit by being at

858
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,919
Speaker 1: route runner inside, and I think that then playing with

859
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper and Gallup and the fact that they are

860
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: better route runners than anyone the Cowboys have ever had.

861
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: We know, Terrence Williams and Dez We're not the best

862
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 1: at route running. So I think you've got two legitimate

863
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 1: outside threats at receiver that can do everything. I think

864
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: Beasley I mean, but that again, the money wasn't just

865
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: about to say change it up. Now, Let's ask that

866
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: question for one year five million and then he I mean,

867
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: Beasley was making seven in or eight and it's on

868
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: a malt I mean, yea, yeah, I wasn't the same

869
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: from their standpoint. It's on which cop. First of all,

870
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: Cop wasn't healthy, Cob has had drops and him and

871
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: Dak haven't been able to get on the same page.

872
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: But like more than anything, like just Callen Moore Scotland,

873
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: and like why why can't the Cowboys get more than

874
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 1: like two wide receivers in Jason Witten involved in their offense?

875
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 1: Like why does that seem like such a cool Tavon

876
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: Austin and Cedric Wilson did it out of necessity, but

877
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard is just collecting dust somewhere on the sideline.

878
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: Tavon's an afterthought until somebody gets hurt. Jarwin. Haven't really

879
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: seen him utilized much outside of going down the seam

880
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: where it works, by the way, and it's like it's

881
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: like they don't know how to manufacture touches for anybody

882
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: other than the obvious three. So Cobb's role has been

883
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: disappointing to that point. I don't know how much I

884
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: put on put that on Cobb schemes some stuff up

885
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, let me say this too, about Whitten

886
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: and Jarwin, I don't know if I mean, yes, one's

887
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: way more athletic than the other, I get that, but

888
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: I don't know right now about the blocking, you know,

889
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: as far as being on the field as much. I'm

890
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: not saying Witten has been the best at blocking, and

891
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: he you know, he's had some penalties and things like

892
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: that too, But I don't think Jarwin's, you know, this

893
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: great blocker either. So I don't know. If you just

894
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: said Jarwin needs to play over Witten, I don't know,

895
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: And I don't know what happens there. I mean, maybe

896
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: we need to ask that question. It's no, you're right,

897
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: but Jimmy m has been a terrible blocker his entire career,

898
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: and and he's he's way on. He's not what he

899
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 1: used to be. I get that. But you can figure

900
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: out ways to use guy's skill sets to their advantages.

901
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: And don't ask a bad blocker to block. Send him

902
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,919
Speaker 1: down the seam where he'll catch it twenty five yards

903
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: downfield and set you up on the goal line linebacker

904
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: or safety with him. So he still has some value, right,

905
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 1: he still helps. It's it's like it's very paint by

906
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: numbers to me where there It's like, we have this

907
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: situation where we will use this guy and it's just

908
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: very by numbers. I like how you put it feels

909
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: very black and white and and and boring and and
