He's going to be on 83 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 3: the active roster for a minimum of three weeks per 84 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 3: poaching rules in the NFL. 85 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 2: So he's here. 86 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 3: But so they had to make the corresponding move expectedly, 87 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 3: they put DeMarcus launch on IR. Michael Parsons remains week 88 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 3: to week. He is quote unquote frustrated. He said, this 89 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 3: injury is humbling the high ankle sprain. He's talking as 90 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 3: if he's going to miss against the Steelers. He's not 91 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 3: been ruled out yet, but looks like a foregone conclusion 92 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 3: at the moment. 93 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: But again he's still week the week. 94 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy did say, however, that the team is preparing 95 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 3: to play without him, so don't expect him to be 96 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 3: on the field. 97 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 2: I'll be shocked if he is too valuable for the 98 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 2: long run. Then you got the Lions and then the bye, and. 99 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 3: Then the forty nine is coming up, games that are 100 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 3: going to be that much more challenging than even the 101 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 3: challenge of. 102 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: The Steelers in Pittsburgh. 103 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 3: Kayln Carson missed last week with a shoulder injury suffered 104 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 3: in the loss against the Ravens. We'll see if he 105 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 3: practices today, but McCarthy said he's making some progress. See 106 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 3: if you can take the field to Ron Bland. Do 107 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 3: not expect Dron Bland on the field against the Steelers. 108 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 3: Too soon for that, but his twenty one day practice 109 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 3: window could be opened as early as today, And for 110 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 3: those that don't know, once that window was opened, you 111 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 3: have twenty one days to either put the player on 112 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 3: the active roster or they revert to season ending ir 113 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 3: that's the in house news, and I'm just driving in 114 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,239 Speaker 3: this morning. Happened to casually catch a couple of reports 115 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 3: saying the Cowboys might be interested in a big name 116 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 3: guy from a big name place. At a particular position. 117 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 3: But it kind of raised my eyebrow because of the position. 118 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 3: So brow yeah, rocks eyebrow. Okay, right, you're down Micah 119 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 3: for at least maybe one game. Yep, you're down to 120 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 3: Marcus Lawrence for a minimum of four games out We 121 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 3: talked to about the running back position struggling and where's 122 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: Dalvin in whatever the case may be. But the Cowboys 123 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 3: themselves in training camp kind of left the door open 124 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: for a possible trade scenario at running back if things 125 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 3: didn't kind of work. 126 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: Out the way they wanted to work out. 127 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: I guess my question to you guys is, would you 128 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,239 Speaker 3: if you were to strike a trade before November fifth, 129 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 3: what position would it be? 130 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 2: Would it be wide receiver? Would it be running back? 131 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 5: I was, I was standing on business a few weeks. 132 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 4: I need I need a wide receiver. 133 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 5: I need another wide receiver personally, Uh, just me, just 134 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 5: for I would love to have a wide. 135 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 2: Receiver just so why that? Yeah, That's what I'm. 136 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 4: Going to me. There's we've talked about it. The separation 137 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 4: I don't think is there. 138 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 5: I think Brandon Cooks is have and all wide receivers 139 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 5: outside of Brandon Cooks are having trouble getting open and 140 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 5: Dak is having to throw these like pristine, perfect window throws. 141 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 3: Uh, demirror, Yeah, yeah, exactly, Demur. 142 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 5: I just don't think that the spacing is out there. 143 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 5: I don't think the threat is out there. I don't 144 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 5: think anybody's necessarily afraid of any of the receivers outside 145 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 5: of CD Lamb. So to me, you add another weapon, 146 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 5: I think that opens up a lot of windows. That 147 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 5: opens up not only throwing windows, but that opens up 148 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 5: your running game a little bit. That kind of pushes 149 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 5: the defense down the field if you have another threat 150 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 5: on the other side that isn't Cede Lamb. 151 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 2: There was sorry, go ahead, I was gonna say. We 152 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 2: talked about it a little bit with Brandon Cooks. Though. 153 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 2: If there's no running game, how much separation are you 154 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 2: going to get when teams sell out to stop the pass. 155 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 4: But you also would have Brandon Cooks in the scenario. 156 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 2: Right, you would, and he would be your wide receiver 157 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 2: three hopefully, But even then as a wide receiver two, 158 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: he hasn't been able to get it done. Bringing in 159 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 2: another guy, whoever that may be on the open market. 160 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 2: Bringing in another guy, does that immediately make you a 161 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 2: better football team just by having another wide receiver two here. 162 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: I think there's other ways to improve this team at 163 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 2: rather than spending high dollar, high draft capital, high picks 164 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 2: to go get a guy in a spot where you 165 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: already feel like you're good enough but you just aren't 166 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: having the cohesiveness. 167 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 3: Outside of that, you're talking about drafting for somebody who 168 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 3: was of the caliber to be able to complement CD Lamb. 169 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 3: It's going to be costly. Oh, it's going to be costly, 170 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 3: so you have to you have to take that into account. 171 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 3: For me, it's it's about establishing the run and that 172 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 3: should open up opportunities for Brandon Cooks to separate and 173 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 3: things like that. That'll force guys teams to stop playing 174 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 3: too high safety maybe they go single high because they 175 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 3: have to put another guy in the box. 176 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 2: And now you give. 177 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 3: Brandon Cooks the opportunity to impact you on those deep 178 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 3: crossers and on those gold routes and things like that. 179 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 3: Uh So, I don't know, man, for me, is it 180 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 3: a signs that you is this a party? 181 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: God's like, what's side of those? But I don't. I 182 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: don't know that whide receiver would be it. 183 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 3: I think you have the talent here in the Brandon 184 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: Cooks to complement CD Lamb, and once Jake Ferguson really 185 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 3: starts to get gone, I think you have that for 186 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 3: the passing to take. But I look at a position 187 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 3: like defensive end. Yeah, kJ Henry, he has some talent, 188 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 3: but what does that look like? You have a depth 189 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 3: chart at defensive end that doesn't have depth right now. 190 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: That's very concerning for me. 191 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 3: And thankfully the cornerback position is about to be resolved 192 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 3: by Doron Bland coming back here soon. But if I 193 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 3: were to strike a trade, the only two positions I'm 194 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 3: willing to really entertain unless the price was just something 195 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 3: you can't pass up on at wide receiver, which I 196 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 3: don't think that's gonna happen at all, would be maybe 197 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 3: running back and most certainly defensive end, depending on how 198 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 3: the progress of DeMarcus Lawrence goes and if the Cowboys 199 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 3: starts slipping backward in the absence. 200 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 2: Of the Marcus Lawnce you know what I mean. 201 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: Of course, there's so much that you that you put 202 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 3: into that that update there. I have to let us 203 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 3: go backwards. Come go back a little bit, Come on, 204 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 3: rewind it. You're about to play the Pittsburgh Steelers. Correct 205 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 3: their quarterback currently is Justin Fields currently, Yeah, Justin Fields. 206 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 3: He's been he's been doing okay this year. He's been 207 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 3: doing okay this year. He's playing with more confidence. And 208 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 3: I tell people all the time, this is a game 209 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 3: of confidence. I don't care what your history has shown. 210 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 3: I don't care that you're at the highest level of 211 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 3: your competition field. If you're if you have confidence, you 212 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 3: were going to be the best version of yourself. And 213 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 3: I think that's what we're starting to see with Justin Fields. 214 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 2: Everything that he was. 215 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 3: Capable of doing in Chicago, he's gaining on that every 216 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 3: week while he's in Pittsburgh. 217 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 2: Right. 218 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 3: They lost last week obviously, but that was still his 219 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 3: best numbers he's had his. 220 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 2: Time in the league. So he's gaining, he's getting better. 221 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 3: Okay, So you have a dual threat quarterback and you're 222 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 3: missing both of your defensive ends. Can we start there both? 223 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 3: Can we both both? Should be em both of them? 224 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 3: So no shirts plays on that one. That's a best 225 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 3: of bad shirt. But that's a problem. That's a problem, 226 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 3: and we've talked about Marshall Neeland had a good week 227 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 3: one against the Cleveland Browns. But I've also said that 228 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 3: I don't feel personally my opinion, I don't think that 229 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 3: he's a true defensive end. I think he's more of 230 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 3: an interior I as alignment. I think that's his style 231 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 3: of play. I don't think he's quick enough, not doesn't 232 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 3: have a quick twitch. I don't think he's as powerful 233 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 3: as a mouse Garrett to be able to just overpower you. 234 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 3: And I don't think that he has an overarching speed 235 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 3: to be able to get around the corner. I just 236 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 3: don't think he possesses those abilities. 237 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 4: Bar for Barr, Kyle said this for you yesterday. Yeah, 238 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 4: I said Isaiah would say yeah, yeah. 239 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 2: So it's like I can hear him right now. It's 240 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 2: like I don't want to put words in his memory, 241 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 2: but I guarantee this is what he would say exactly 242 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: what we look like. So yeah, so there's a problem there. 243 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 2: There's a depth there. 244 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 3: Law and Isaiah carl I also said in the preseason, 245 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 3: after watching you know, calling those games for the Cowboys 246 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 3: this preseason and seeing him play, no no, no shade 247 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 3: on him, I just I think he's a one I 248 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 3: think he's a one trick pony, and that's not that's 249 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 3: not a negative thing. Is just like if that, if 250 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 3: you're gonna have one trick, you better be dominant with it. 251 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 3: And I don't believe that he is so well. 252 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 2: He's also a rookie. He's four games into his career. Okay, 253 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 2: but that's I get what you're saying. I don't want 254 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 2: to knock the guy. I don't know. I'm not knocking 255 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 2: the guy. I'm not. I don't listen not I don't 256 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 2: take shots at people. Y'all know this, right. 257 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 3: I'm just saying, from what I've seen on film, he 258 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 3: has not displayed an ability to make contributions to this 259 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 3: team that affect and impact the game. 260 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying today. I think it's running today. 261 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 3: Okay, his run defense is there, correct, there but two 262 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 3: and I'm about to agree to Marshawn's own point. 263 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 2: His past rush is not there. He's just saying himself. 264 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 2: He needs to know. I'm sorry I left the marshaon Neeland. 265 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 2: I'm talking about lost. Now Carlo show that he can. Yes, 266 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 2: I'm talking about Carloston just to show. That's how I 267 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 2: went back to that. I went back to the preseason 268 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 2: and said they brought in Carl Loston like his guy. 269 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 3: I haven't seen anything on film that shows me that 270 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 3: he can make an impact on the game. Kneeland, yes, 271 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 3: run game right, He's He's an interior defense alignment in 272 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 3: my eyes, and Marshall Kneland is okay, he will turn 273 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 3: into something, you know, in terms of a. 274 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 2: D N hopefully. 275 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 3: I just think his body type and all that, naturally 276 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 3: he's interior defense alignment. That's just that's just my opinion, Okay. 277 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 4: With Carl Loston, I feel like his simple size is 278 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 4: too small. 279 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 5: I mean if you consider the preseason where if he 280 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 5: played one game I think it was, and they were 281 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 5: basically like, all. 282 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 4: Right, we're gonna put them on in the practice. Yeah, 283 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 4: he's not ready, he's not ramped up. 284 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 3: But he was Also what's concerned about Carl Lawson is, 285 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 3: and I said this yesterday, we were assuming and under 286 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 3: the assumption that in the absence of Micah and Tank, 287 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 3: that the McCarthy would then start talking about obviously Marshaw Kneeland, 288 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 3: but also Carl Lawson's kind of that combo package. That's 289 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 3: not what McCarthy was talking about now, it's talking about 290 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 3: Marshaw Kneelan and Chauncey Ghoston. What does that tell you 291 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 3: about Carl Lawson. It tells you what Isaiah saym. He 292 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 3: has to show that he can contribute. Yes, So I'm 293 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 3: not confident there. Right, So you're about to play a 294 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 3: dual threat quarterback. You're talking about a team that runs 295 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 3: the ball just as much as Baltimore and New Orleans, right, 296 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 3: these guys, these guys running the ball. And by the way, 297 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 3: those are both teams that you've lost to this year. 298 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 2: Yep. 299 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 3: So these guys run the ball thirty four times a game, 300 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 3: thirty four times a game. 301 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 2: And that's not just turning around the hand of the 302 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 2: ball off. 303 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 3: That's also quarterback rounds that he's getting out the pocket. 304 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 3: These are mocked up, whether it's it's not that's not 305 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 3: him breaking the pocket on a pass, that's him actually 306 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 3: having pulling guards, tackles, going after the going after your 307 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 3: second level guys, hooking your defensive hands and getting out 308 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 3: on the edge. 309 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 2: So I don't feel confident there. 310 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 3: But when you start talking about what position would you 311 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 3: go try to trade for, there's a lot of there's 312 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 3: a lot of issues right now with this team. There's 313 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 3: there you have a depth issue that you knew that 314 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 3: you had at defense end. You were hoping that nobody 315 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 3: got hurt if you were to have you have two 316 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 3: guys missing at the defensive line. If you had one 317 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 3: guy you missed at receiver. 318 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 2: Three Sam Williams, that's true. Sam William's gone, Yes, so 319 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 2: you didn't. 320 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 3: Nobody anticipates losing three guys, right, So Dallas. Dallas did 321 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 3: not have a depth issue at that position coming into 322 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 3: the season. But injuries now put you in a position 323 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 3: where you have a depths one. 324 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 2: You have one at receiver coming into the season. 325 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 3: If you had one injury at receiver, you had a 326 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 3: depth issue. 327 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 2: Donezo. If you had one, right, you have one. 328 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 3: You didn't lose any contributors this year coming into the season. 329 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 3: You had one of the top offenses last year. Yep, 330 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 3: you're coming in with that same personnel. You're coming in 331 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 3: with the same personnel and your offense is just just 332 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 3: not getting it done. So yes, part of it is separation. 333 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 3: When I when people talk about Brandon Cooks and his separation, 334 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 3: I don't necessarily agree with that narrative wholeheartedly because I 335 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 3: think that he's open when he's supposed to be open. 336 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 2: But if the ball's not on time. Now he's not open. 337 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 2: Yeah right, he's quick, he's not get Yeah. 338 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 3: So the ball's not getting out in a timely fashion, 339 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 3: which anybody right. If you don't continue to work back 340 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 3: to the quarterback, you're no longer open. 341 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 2: Right. If I run my route and I'm open, I 342 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 2: stop my feet. Now that defensive back has closed that gap. 343 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 2: Now I'm not open. 344 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 3: Okay, So I think Brandon Cooks is getting open. If 345 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 3: the ball was to be on time, you're not getting 346 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 3: the contributions from the other receivers the way in which 347 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 3: you in which you need to. You're not seeing the 348 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 3: creativity offensively like we've seen in the past from coach McCarthy. 349 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 3: I know Christmas is a couple months away, but we 350 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 3: need to get into that back a little bit earlier 351 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 3: because your offense is not doing what it needs to do. 352 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 2: Usually that's the opposite of what you said. Usually you 353 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 2: say let's save the bag. Absolutely, let's push it. They're like, 354 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 2: fill out a little bit. So we have to get 355 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: that to the part you're talking about, the running game. 356 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 2: The running game is hasn't a direct effect on this 357 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 2: offense's ability to move the ball down the No doubt, 358 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 2: if you don't have a running game. You're now teams 359 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 2: know you have to throw. 360 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 3: Now I can sit two guys over the top, right, 361 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 3: I don't have to put seven eight guys in the box. 362 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 3: I can play six guys in the box and run 363 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 3: stunts right all day long and get pressure in the 364 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 3: backfield and stop your running game. So now I can 365 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 3: sit back and I could double up on guys, I 366 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 3: could take care of crossers. I can have multiple safeties 367 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 3: back there to take care of the big splash plays 368 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 3: that we've had historically. When you see CD running those 369 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 3: over routes, when you see Cavartae Turpin running an overroute 370 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 3: like you ran in the first first week or second 371 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 3: week of the season, whatever it was, you don't see 372 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 3: you don't get those plays anymore because they have extra 373 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 3: guys back there. 374 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 2: So now Dak is in a position where he has to. 375 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 3: Be precise with every dog on pass that he throws, 376 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 3: and he can't get creative and he can't do play 377 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 3: action because that's what he does best. So the running 378 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 3: game has to be affected. And it's not just a 379 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 3: personnel thing in the backfield. It's not just a backfield thing. 380 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 3: Everybody's looking to that Room. We're gonna do a breakdown 381 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 3: on film room this week. I'm not sure how they 382 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 3: distribute that anymore. Right, it's on social right, but we're 383 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 3: gonna do a breakdown to show you just how close too, 384 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 3: just how close this running game is this. 385 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 2: This is just guys just not taking care of their assignments. Yeah, 386 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 2: it's not scheme. 387 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 3: It's the same old line coach, it's the same offensive coordinator, 388 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 3: it's the same play called. This is just guys not 389 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 3: getting their blocks, and there's usually one guy that doesn't 390 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 3: do his job. You got ten guys doing their job, 391 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 3: but one guy misses his blocking assignment. The whole play 392 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 3: is crap, and we're going to show that on film 393 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 3: this week. So definitely take a look at that whenever 394 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 3: we get it put out. And I think that's good. 395 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 3: I think that's part of the point that I was making. 396 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 3: Compared to Josh wanting a wide receiver, it would be 397 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 3: a whole lot of fun. 398 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong. You go get a high caliber 399 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 2: wide receiver. We've seen it in the past when they 400 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 2: traded for Amari Cooper in twenty eighteen. The fact that 401 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 2: it does provide a jolt to your team that's great 402 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 2: when everything else is also set in place. I don't 403 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 2: think everything else is set in place right now. And 404 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 2: if you if you think that's the case, go get 405 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 2: a wide receiver, Go do it. But if you really 406 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 2: think so, if you want to spend that type of 407 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 2: capital to go get it done, go get it done. 408 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 2: If you believe it will help. I don't think it 409 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 2: helps to the significance of what it's gonna take to 410 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 2: go get something like this is a water bed with 411 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 2: multiple holes in it right now? One band date, Oh 412 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: the waterbed the water eighties. Maybe if you guys don't 413 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 2: know what a water is like an industrial those like 414 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 2: when it gets well, it's gonna fall off. Almost made 415 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 2: a joke. 416 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 3: But this sponsor, uh listen, water beds and I know 417 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 3: Beamer in the back probably knows his back. 418 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 2: He probably had one of those. He still has one waterbed. 419 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 3: You did not get in a water bed with pins, 420 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 3: any anything sharp in your pockets, because you will poacher 421 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 3: the water bed and all of a sudden you got 422 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 3: leaky bait. 423 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 2: You guys have sharp things in your pockets. 424 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 3: I'm talking about pencils, pins, You know what I'm saying, 425 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 3: Bobby pin whatever, right, if you puncture a water bed, right, 426 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 3: you only have one trade if you were to if 427 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 3: you're the Dallas Cowboys. 428 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 2: You got one shot. 429 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 3: You're one shot, but you have multiple areas that need 430 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 3: to be addressed. Okay, the Office of Lines not playing 431 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 3: as a unit. All right, talk about in the running game. 432 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 3: Your running backs are not getting get done in terms 433 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 3: of being They don't even possessed ability to accelerate and 434 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 3: get through some of these holes or make a guy miss. Right, 435 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 3: The blocking scheme has to be perfect. We talked about 436 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 3: this running back room. I said, there's only one guy 437 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 3: in the entire room that has the ability to make 438 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 3: anybody miss and win their one on one. 439 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 2: Right, if you left the safety. 440 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 3: Most blocking schemes, I don't know if people know this, 441 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 3: Most blocking schemes leave one guy for the running back. Yep, 442 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 3: I don't know if I don't know if the general 443 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 3: public knows that. Right, you can't block everybody, right, but 444 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 3: you could block most guys. And you say, you know what, 445 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 3: that last guy, usually a safety or usually a corner, 446 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 3: that's for you running back. If he presents himself, beat 447 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 3: him right, Well, rico daddo not gonna shake nobody. 448 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 2: He's not gonna sake him bak. Okay, it's not Talladega Nights. 449 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 2: Ezekiel Elliott not going to do it either. 450 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 3: Okay, we've seen that early in the season when it 451 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 3: took about fifteen minutes for him to make make a move. Right, 452 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 3: it happened, he did it, but I don't want you 453 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 3: to count on that if Dalvin Cook was to come up. 454 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 3: We don't know what Dalvin has right now. 455 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 2: We don't know, right. 456 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 3: I'm not going to tell a man what he can't do, right, 457 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 3: So I've seen We've seen his body work in the past, 458 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 3: but that's the past. 459 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 2: So I would like to see what he's capable of doing, 460 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 2: to see if he has that go juice. 461 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 3: We know Deuce could do it, but Deuce is not 462 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 3: being played put in a situation where he can do it. Okay, 463 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 3: he's getting very close when he does have opportunities, but 464 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 3: he's not being given enough opportunities. 465 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 5: And we just don't We don't throw the ball to 466 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 5: running backs very often, like we did it twice in 467 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 5: this game and that you know, resulted in two touchdowns. 468 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 2: It worked, and it works. Can I say something that's 469 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: really gonna bother you? How many? How many plus ten 470 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 2: run plays. Do you think that Dallas has plus ten? Yes? 471 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:35,479 Speaker 4: Like one of those four three of those are by 472 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 4: who Ceedee Lamb? 473 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 2: Yep, yes, yeah, there you go, so drawing one by 474 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 2: a running back and that's Rico right yep. Yeah. 475 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 3: But even the Giants then figured that out because the 476 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 3: last two handoffs to Cede Lamb were negative one yard. 477 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, so now teams are two of them are sweeps, 478 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 2: one of them was him. Teams are figuring that out now. 479 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 2: So I want to take our first break, but I 480 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,959 Speaker 2: want to give it get an answer from everybody. If 481 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 2: you had one position group to make a trade for, 482 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 2: what would it be to what are you spending your 483 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 2: one band aid on? What's the one band aid going on? 484 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 2: The water beds holes? I'm going I'm going to receiver, Okay, 485 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 2: I'm going to receiver. Because you need to be confident 486 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 2: in something kind of shocked that you went that dirt. 487 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 3: You need to be You're not confident in your complete 488 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 3: defense right now because the dude defensive coordinator and guys 489 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 3: are still trying to figure it out. Offensively, you have 490 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,239 Speaker 3: the faith in MacArthur. You have the faith in these 491 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 3: players that they've shown you before. 492 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 2: That they can do it. 493 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 3: So give him more weapons and out and you're hoping 494 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 3: that they just figure it out along the way because 495 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 3: they've shown you. 496 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 2: That they that they can. 497 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 5: Let me say, just to be a little different. I 498 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 5: know I said large saver before, but just to change 499 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 5: it up a little bit. 500 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 4: Defensive line. 501 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 3: Okay, go get a D line. He's looking at my homework. 502 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 3: Defensive line for me. This is a Cowboys team that 503 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 3: outside of last week, they struggled against the run. They've 504 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 3: not gotten the pass rush over the past couple of games. 505 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 3: And that was with Michael Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence in 506 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 3: the mix. Without DeMarcus Lawrence or Michael Parsons in the mix, 507 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 3: I don't see how it improves. 508 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 2: At best. 509 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 3: You could try to, you know, keep the dam from breaking, 510 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 3: but that's that's that's terrifying. So yeah, I'm going defensive line. 511 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 3: What part of the defensive line you think? Interior interior? 512 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 2: You could sell me on either. 513 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 3: You could sell me on and and if the interior 514 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 3: defensive lineman that you get is someone who has some 515 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 3: versatility to flix from like a three to a five 516 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 3: or something like that, then I could buy into that 517 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 3: even more. 518 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 2: I don't think that. 519 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 3: And I like what Mazi is going and we still 520 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 3: need to see more from Mozzie, but he's at least 521 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 3: now trending in the right direction. I wouldn't make a 522 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 3: trade for like a definitive one tech because I need 523 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 3: somebody that can also in a pinch. If I wanted 524 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 3: to go a three down man front, then they can 525 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 3: impact the game and give me a four pound want 526 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 3: to because because the law is gonna get healthy, Mike 527 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 3: is gonna get healthy. And when I don't want the 528 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 3: guy that we just acquired sitting on the sideline. That's 529 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 3: why I said you could sell me on a on 530 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 3: an interior. That's that's what I want. I wanted if 531 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 3: if I was gonna go d line, give me the 532 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 3: big nasty that just can't give you. And you're not 533 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 3: wrong the problem, because my problem is smaller. This wind 534 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 3: tank comes back, good news. He will be back when 535 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 3: he comes back. Is this going to be because he's 536 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 3: at foot issues before? This is going to be something 537 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 3: that he deals with the remainder of the season. Sure, 538 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 3: And if that's the case, then yeah, if you sell 539 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 3: me on a defensive lineman interior guy, I just I 540 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 3: would love for him to have some kind of flix 541 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 3: to be able to pop out if he needs to 542 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 3: pop up. 543 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 2: I would probablyte guy. 544 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 3: I'd say edge rusher, cause sometimes you got to pop 545 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 3: out and show there's an edge rushers out there that 546 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 3: you could go get and you won't have to spend 547 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 3: a bajillion dollars or a bajillion draft picks to go get. 548 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 2: You think. 549 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 4: The salary cap is not a billion, No, it's. 550 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 2: Not a bajillion. The the that's the thing for me 551 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 2: is you can go get an edge rusher. They're available. 552 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 2: Teams have them. There's some teams that have a surplus 553 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 2: of them. Dallas had a third plus previously. Even whenever 554 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 2: Sam Williams went down in training camp, you and you 555 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 2: and you and me all had a conversation about is 556 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 2: this defensive end group? Then now it's nothing. That's what 557 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 2: it is. It's Marshawn neland that's who you got right now. 558 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 2: I would go get an EDG rusher. Figure it out 559 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 2: and if it adds depth to your team, great, once 560 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 2: they come back, once the Law and Michael Parsons come back, 561 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 2: then you got that. I just think wide receiver. 562 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 3: If you're thinking white receiver, which It's fine if you're 563 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 3: thinking that, because I could see the logic. But after 564 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 3: everything we're talking about, you fix the run game, you 565 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 3: force the defense to play differently, single high versus two 566 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 3: man high, things like that, then you will see Brandon 567 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 3: Cooks get more of the deep shots and things like that. 568 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 3: We've seen Cook's cook, but we've seen him over the 569 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 3: back half of last season get involved heavily. So the 570 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 3: talent is there. Maybe there's some frustration there because the 571 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 3: Cowboys rushing attack isn't there, which then leads to the 572 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 3: next issue, which then leads to the next. 573 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 2: Part of my reasoning for saying a defensive end is 574 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 2: because of what Isaiah said, you have confidence in your offense. 575 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 2: I think they'll figure it out. I think Brandon Cook 576 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 2: just think. I think the creativity will be think they can. 577 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 2: I think Jason Ferguson coming back into the fold will 578 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 2: be there. I think all of these things will lead 579 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 2: to the point where it will be figured out. Offensively. 580 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 2: I'm not confident the defense will figure it out in 581 00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 2: terms of stopping the. 582 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 3: Run and rushing the pat We address that question when 583 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 3: we come back, which one what part of your what 584 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 3: part of your team are you most confident in, most confident. 585 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 2: In Yeah, I guess sure. We've also got to do 586 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 2: our defensive preview of Pittsburgh Steelers defensive versus just as office. 587 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 3: This is the same Isaiah Stambeck going into the Giants game, 588 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,479 Speaker 3: who was right there with me when the Cowboys were 589 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 3: allowing over four hundred yards rushing. 590 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 2: That was with Micah in tank gets a field, that's 591 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 2: where you need a big, nasty but they also couldn't 592 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 2: get after the quarterback. We will be right back with 593 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 2: more talking cowboys.

What's his name? 660 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 2: His name is Larry. Larry is the Quaker? Interesting? 661 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 3: Can we can we can? We can we put that 662 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 3: to a vote, like, can we get a better name 663 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 3: for Larry? 664 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 2: I kind of like Larry. I don't know. Was the 665 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 2: first year eighteen Larry eighteen? It was more jeez. I 666 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 2: think eighteen eighty two is when he first came out 667 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 2: and the mechanic the Lobster. Okay, listen, Josh came up 668 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 2: with a great idea. We got to find a bet. 669 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 2: We got to find a bet where somebody has to 670 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 2: dress up as Larry the Quaker Man for an entire 671 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 2: episode if they lose the Bet. I like that, Bet. 672 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 2: I think we can make this happen. 673 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 4: Will be so happy he's That would be a whole 674 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 4: sponsorship person that works if. 675 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 2: You get the Lock of the If you don't get 676 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 2: your Lock of the Week, you have to dress up 677 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 2: as Larry. Okay, that would mean everybody is dressing up 678 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 2: as Larry, which would also be in turn very very funny. 679 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not that you're going to pick him the segment, all. 680 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 2: Right, it's got to be something organic. We'll find out. 681 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 2: We'll figure it out, all right, like Oaks, Just like Oats, 682 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 2: Cowboys defense versus the Pittsburgh offense missing a couple of pieces, 683 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 2: And I'll kind of phrase this, Isaiah, you wanted to 684 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 2: answer that question. Does it waiver your confidence in the 685 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 2: way that this defense is constructed whenever you don't have 686 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 2: DeMarcus Lawrence and Michael Parsons? Absolutely it does, right, it 687 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 2: waivers your confidence. But where's the confidence level in each 688 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 2: of the units for this Cowboys team? Offensively? 689 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 3: I feel like you have hope because they you've seen 690 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 3: it in the past, and you're just trying to figure 691 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 3: out what's the missing link. Just after watching film. I 692 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 3: have faith that this running game will get going. I 693 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 3: have faith offensive passing wise. I just think that's honestly, 694 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 3: the majority of that's on McCarthy. I'm gonna put that 695 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 3: responsibility on him. I would tell him that to his 696 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 3: face as well. I just I think the office on 697 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:50,959 Speaker 3: line is doing a really good job. I think they 698 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 3: have the six best protection in the league right now. 699 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 3: So Deak's having time. Actually, Dak has a higher completion 700 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 3: percentage when under pressure, which is odd, So don't protect them. 701 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 3: So he's getting time right office lines given him time. 702 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 3: So I put that oncarth I've seen guys get open. 703 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 3: So the fact that he's getting time, I'm seeing guys 704 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 3: get open. We have to find ways to be more 705 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 3: creative in terms of getting guys to take it splash 706 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 3: plays outside of yak yardage yards. 707 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 2: Have to catch. 708 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 3: Defensively, I I'm not convinced. That's just my my real response. 709 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 3: The defense of the running game hasn't been good. The 710 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 3: run defense hasn't been good. And then my concern that 711 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 3: I had coming aga into the season is kind of 712 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 3: coming true. And that was in regards to the defensive 713 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 3: end position, which we put a lot of emphasis on 714 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 3: right and a lot of trust in their inability now 715 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 3: within this scheme to get after the quarterback. And that 716 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 3: was my concern and we can go back, there's receipts 717 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 3: for that's my concern with this new defense, Like, okay, 718 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 3: these guys are no longer the feature now the feature 719 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 3: players are the linebackers. But if you can't stop the 720 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 3: offensive lineman from getting up to the linebackers, then they 721 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 3: can't do what you're asking them to do, nor be 722 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 3: the superstars that you want them to be. 723 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 2: So now who is the superstar? 724 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 3: If the defensive ends aren't your superstars, if you have 725 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 3: no real interior defensive line presence, if your linebackers are 726 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 3: getting reached right now we're asking your dbs that are 727 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 3: playing a lot as own, Is that what we're asking? 728 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 3: And no, So I don't have a lot of confidence there. 729 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 3: And it's not because of the players. It's because mostly 730 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 3: because of the scheme. And I think Zimmer has to 731 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 3: He's gonna get I don't know if he has a bag, 732 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 3: he might have a ziplock, but get in there and 733 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,479 Speaker 3: pull something out, not the zip right, pull get into 734 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 3: zipp and get in there and grab whatever the snacks 735 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 3: you have. Okay, until you can make a costco run 736 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 3: and throw something out there, man, because right now we 737 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 3: just haven't seen enough. You haven't seen enough. And it's 738 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 3: the same same thing that we know that we knew 739 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 3: coming into the season. Okay, this is the type of 740 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 3: style of defense he likes to run. They have you 741 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 3: figured right now, They have you figured out. 742 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 2: You got to get in that Crown Royal bag purple 743 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 2: Crown Royal kept a pistol in that one, all right, 744 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 2: how you no, that's smart? 745 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 3: Like you know what I'm saying, though, I saw that 746 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 3: there isn't one aspect of this team that I feel 747 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 3: amazing with right now. But I have most confidence in 748 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 3: our kicking game and I have confidence you know. I 749 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 3: guess special teams is probably one and then offense to 750 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 3: defense three. 751 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. We talked about it the other day 752 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 2: and we did. We went through the high five article 753 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 2: that was on Dallas Cowboys dot com. Uh, and one 754 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 2: of the five reasons to be optimistic going into the 755 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 2: rest of the year is the fact that you probably 756 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 2: have the best special teams unit in football right now 757 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,479 Speaker 2: with Brandon Aubrey, Brian Anger and Cavante Turpin as your returner. 758 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 2: Can I as a real question and I want to 759 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 2: ask this. 760 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 10: I don't know. 761 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 2: Today's not do not ask. 762 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 4: It was asking real questions. 763 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 2: We're not talking. 764 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,919 Speaker 3: You're not talking to the people today. When you cross 765 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 3: the fifty yard line, I need I need your real 766 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 3: answer right now. When you cross the fifty yard line, 767 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 3: are you thinking touchdown right now as a spectator or 768 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 3: are you thinking field goal? 769 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 2: Field goal? 770 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,919 Speaker 3: That's a problem, it is, and this is we talked 771 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 3: about this in training camp when it was the question 772 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 3: was is it a good thing that you have a 773 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 3: kicker that can kick sixty sixty five yards? And I 774 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 3: was like, yeah, it's a great thing because that's rare 775 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,760 Speaker 3: but not lean. But I also want you to forget 776 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 3: that your kicker can kick sixty plus yards because that 777 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 3: will force the offense to stop relying on it and 778 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,240 Speaker 3: say all we have to do is get across the fifty. 779 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 2: No, what you need to do is get in the 780 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 2: end zone. That's what you need. 781 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 5: The fact that you have a kicker that can kick 782 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 5: sixty yard field should only spring into your brain when 783 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 5: there when there are five seconds left. 784 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 4: Yes, in the court in the half or the game. 785 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Like, that's when you're like. 786 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, by the way, games, god on in if. 787 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 4: It's the first series of the first drive of the game, 788 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 4: absolutely not. What are we doing dude? 789 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 2: And I mean I get kicking field goals and putting 790 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 2: points on the board, but there have there have been 791 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 2: many drives and well, I'll write the highlight reel for 792 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 2: whenever we go back through them postgame and whenever I'm 793 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,800 Speaker 2: riding the highlight reels like, well, they had one completion 794 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 2: the Hunter lipke and it ended up in a field goal. 795 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 2: That's We've seen too many drives like that. But it's 796 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 2: one completion, you get a field goal. Great, everybody feels 797 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 2: happy about it. And Brandon Aubrey is still Brandon Aubrey 798 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 2: doing Brandon Aubrey thing. 799 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 3: And the opposing team runs it down your throat for 800 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 3: a touchdown and they now you're touchdown touchdowns. 801 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,320 Speaker 2: For field goals. Yeah, you can't do that. The of 802 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 2: the office used to be your spark. Yeah, they used 803 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 2: to be number one. 804 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 3: That was your spark, right, that was your that was 805 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 3: my I got that in the bag, Like we're good, 806 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 3: like we're good there, we're gonna score some points. 807 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 2: Now now you're holding for three down field. 808 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 3: They're proven, they can you know, have extended drives, but 809 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 3: penalties and it's miscues and things like that that's what 810 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 3: kills them in the red zone. Between and up to 811 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,399 Speaker 3: the red zone, they're effective, but then they get close 812 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,720 Speaker 3: to the red zone and it's it's holding, its false start, 813 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 3: it's you know, MISSQ here. So if they clean those up, 814 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 3: so to Calla's point, I believe that they have the 815 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 3: ten on an offense to get it figured out. But 816 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,319 Speaker 3: when you look at defensively on the defensive line, now, 817 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:20,760 Speaker 3: who's your superstar, who's your headliner? 818 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 5: Well, to Isaiah's point, I don't even think it's necessarily 819 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 5: a red zone issue. We are not even getting to 820 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 5: the red zone as consistently as we should. You know, 821 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 5: it's it's getting into the past the fifty and it's 822 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 5: like all right, yeah, it's field goal time. 823 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 2: You know. 824 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 4: It's it's not the it's the place that gets you 825 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 4: to the field goal. 826 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 5: It's not exactly taking the field taking points where you 827 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 5: can get them, right, sure, it's the second and tent 828 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 5: that you're facing and you're like Okay. 829 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 4: Well let's run up the military yards. 830 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 5: And then that becomes a third and long and then 831 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 5: they're like, okay, now we got to take a deep 832 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,720 Speaker 5: shot incomplete fourth and lossit. 833 00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 3: You know, that was my concern in having It's right 834 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 3: to have the weapon you have in Brandon Aubrey, but 835 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,879 Speaker 3: you have to use it correctly. You can't walk into 836 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 3: that that drive saying oh, all we need to do 837 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 3: is get across the fifty noo that drive saying we 838 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,439 Speaker 3: need to touch down. And I don't think that they're 839 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 3: doing that. I just think it's in their subconscious status, 840 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 3: like Okay. 841 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 2: If we don't do it, we're good. You know, if 842 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 2: you're doing it subconsciously, you're still doing it. It's the 843 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 2: same thing like about our kid. 844 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 3: You know, everybody has kids, right, so it's like we 845 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 3: mess up because growing up we didn't have a lot, right, 846 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 3: most of us didn't have a lot. 847 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 11: Right. 848 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:29,879 Speaker 2: We had a grinding and get it out of my side, 849 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 2: whatever it might be. So now that we have kids, right, 850 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,760 Speaker 2: we mess our kids up because like you know what, there. 851 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,319 Speaker 3: We're gonna make sure that they're taking care of They 852 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 3: have better than we had, right, and they don't have 853 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,399 Speaker 3: that same drive to be amazing majority of the time 854 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,319 Speaker 3: because guess what, I'm good. 855 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Like, there's something I can 856 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 2: rely on it. So that's kind of the approach. 857 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 3: And not to say that you don't work hard, not 858 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 3: to say that you don't have the same intent, but 859 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,879 Speaker 3: when you have it in your subconscious that I'm good. 860 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 2: If I don't, then there's something that you now can 861 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 2: lean on. 862 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, when you know you don't have a safety net, 863 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 3: correct much more correct getting not falling off the high wire. 864 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 2: This is gonna be another week where you cannot trade 865 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 2: field goals for touchdown because they controlled the time of possession. 866 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 2: Justin Fields has been playing lights out, lights out stuff. 867 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 4: He is no longer just in Soldier Fields. 868 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 2: Day Yeah, yeah, Seal. Actually to go to your point there, 869 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 2: to go to your point there. The last six starts 870 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 2: for Justin Fields, he's had at least a ninety passer rating. 871 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 2: At least he's four and two in those starts. His 872 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 2: touchdown to interception ratios eight to one. This of course 873 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 2: dates back to the final two games of last year 874 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 2: as well his first thirty six starts when he was 875 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 2: justin Soldier Fields. Josh Rodriguez. Right, he was nine of 876 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:46,439 Speaker 2: twenty seven nine wins twenty seven losses in his time 877 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,840 Speaker 2: with the Bears. In early time with Pittsburgh, total touchdowns 878 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 2: interceptions it was fifty one to twenty nine and his 879 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 2: passer rating was at eighty two, So not good. 880 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 4: He was a playmaker still in Chicago. 881 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think some numbers. 882 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,280 Speaker 5: At least now when you're seeing Justin Fields with the Steelers, 883 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 5: he's been decisive in the pocket without having the sort 884 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:07,759 Speaker 5: of hairline trigger to run the ball right. 885 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, when scrambling. 886 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 5: His mechanics has gotten so much better than his time 887 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 5: with the Bears, in his footwork, like being able to 888 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 5: plant while on the run, being able to plant and 889 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,319 Speaker 5: throw the ball has been obviously a huge step up 890 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 5: from his time with the Bears. Definitely no Russell Wilson 891 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 5: for this game, so you're gonna rely on Justin Fields, 892 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 5: who is, like we said, a dual threat quarterback. 893 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 4: He's looking really, really solid. 894 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. 895 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 3: I mean he has fourteen first downs using his arm. 896 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 3: He has another seven first downs on this time, my 897 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 3: third down. That is fourteen first downs through the air, 898 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 3: seven of them on the ground. They're forty forty forty 899 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 3: four percent on third down efficiency. So these guys are 900 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,879 Speaker 3: top top ten in the league in terms of third 901 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 3: down So they're staying within drives. They're gonna run the 902 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,360 Speaker 3: crap out of the ball. They running the ball, like 903 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 3: I said, thirty four to thirty five times a game. 904 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,919 Speaker 3: So they're playing keep away. They're playing keep away. They're 905 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 3: gonna make you load the box. And you best believe 906 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 3: if they're is ever a coach in the NFL outside 907 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 3: of Dan Campbell, outside of Dan Campbell. 908 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 2: Okay, will who will relentlessly run the ball? It is 909 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin. Yeah. And if he sees that you have 910 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,839 Speaker 2: a weakness, is there a weakness on the d line? 911 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Okay, if you see that you have a. 912 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 3: Weakness and that's already their tendency to run the ball 913 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 3: thirty five times a game, then what are you going 914 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 3: to get? 915 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 11: Right? 916 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 3: And then you can't load the box because you if 917 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 3: you if you lay out to try to stop the run, 918 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 3: there's dudes on the outside too, right, you got pickings 919 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 3: on the outside. Right, you got Jay Fields like you 920 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 3: outflank you if you get out, if he gets out 921 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:35,359 Speaker 3: of the pocket. 922 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 2: So I don't know what the approach is I really 923 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 2: don't know what the approach is. You have to try 924 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:41,800 Speaker 2: to find a way to shut him down, though to 925 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 2: the approaches. 926 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 3: The approach is this is even though he's young, and 927 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 3: typically young quarterbacks don't do well against the blitz, don't 928 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,320 Speaker 3: blitch justin fields. No, don't blitch no, because that's the 929 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,399 Speaker 3: number one that's given him an out because he wants 930 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 3: to run anyway, right, force him to contain him in 931 00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 3: the pocket, which then allows time for your st glean 932 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 3: defensive front to get to him. Because here here are 933 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 3: the numbers, and this is via nex gen right versus 934 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 3: the blitz. He's only well, he's twenty three for thirty two. 935 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 3: He has two touchdowns, no interceptions, one twelve passerrating. That 936 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 3: passer rating drops down to ninety two point two when 937 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 3: he's not blitzed. Completions are only fifty four of seventy seven. 938 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 3: He's been sacked six times when he's not blitzed. So 939 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 3: don't blitz him. So make him make the reads. He 940 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:32,400 Speaker 3: has improved upon that, but he's still not quite that 941 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,920 Speaker 3: dude to sit in the pocket and dissect the game. 942 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 3: He's not gonna payt and man in you, No, he's 943 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 3: not gonna Tom Brady. You So if you had to 944 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,239 Speaker 3: pick a poison, is what I'm saying, don't let the 945 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 3: poison be with his legs, because you're already struggling to 946 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 3: stop the run and Nag he's going to get his presumably, 947 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 3: So what you want to do is keep from adding 948 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 3: and compounding onto that problem. By then now you have 949 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 3: to deal with Naja on the ground, and you got 950 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 3: to deal with Justin on the ground as well. 951 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 2: No deal with Naji on the ground, deal with Justin 952 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 2: in the air. 953 00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 3: Of those six sacks, four of those sacks came from 954 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:01,720 Speaker 3: two high safety safeties. 955 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,360 Speaker 2: Okay, that's just the through film study. 956 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 3: Okay, so of those Yeah, so you're playing coverage, right, 957 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 3: you're playing over the type he's he is being very 958 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,880 Speaker 3: he's being very intentional about when he actually decides to 959 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:14,439 Speaker 3: throw the ball. 960 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 2: He's he's deliberately not turning the ball. He's not taking risk. 961 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,839 Speaker 3: And I think I know why he's not taking risks 962 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 3: because he knows if he messes up, there's somebody that 963 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 3: can step into his position. 964 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:25,080 Speaker 2: There's a guy there. 965 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,440 Speaker 3: So he is being very intentional about when he's going 966 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 3: to release the ball and how he's going to release 967 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 3: the ball, the position's going to put it in. So 968 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 3: whenever you're in a position to have a two high shell, 969 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 3: you have more defenders. We just talked about it in 970 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 3: regards to the detail the Dallas Cowboys defense. He's not 971 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,839 Speaker 3: letting the ball go, he's not airing it out, he's 972 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,759 Speaker 3: not trying to throw it in small windows. So he 973 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 3: has a tendency to hold on to the ball when 974 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,320 Speaker 3: you have those extra defenders. But in order to have 975 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 3: those extra defenders, you have to put them in third 976 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 3: and long situations. 977 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 2: Yeah. 978 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, And then one more step when it comes to 979 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 3: blitzing versus not blitzing. When you blitz him, his completion 980 00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:02,759 Speaker 3: percentage over expectation is over expectation. When you don't blit him, 981 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,320 Speaker 3: it drops down to three percent. Got to have a 982 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 3: plan contain him, got to force him to throw, make 983 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,799 Speaker 3: difficult make difficult throws, make difficult reads.

This segment is brought to 1037 00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 2: you by in VIZI Line the official smile of the 1038 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys, Patrick no C Walker, Josh Rodriguez, Isaiah Stanback, 1039 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 2: Chris Beam in the back. I'm Kyle Yelmans. We asked 1040 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:42,759 Speaker 2: the question, now, if you're not blitzing Justin Fields, who 1041 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,839 Speaker 2: is without Michaeh Parsons, without DeMarcus Lawrence, who's the most 1042 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,600 Speaker 2: pressure on defensively to get the job done and contain 1043 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:50,800 Speaker 2: Justin Fields? 1044 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,239 Speaker 4: Demarvian over shoo right back to him. 1045 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,360 Speaker 5: He needs to fly around the field. I want to 1046 00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,320 Speaker 5: see him on the blitz as well. I want to 1047 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 5: see him give Justin Fields some issues. 1048 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,320 Speaker 2: We just said said, don't blitz, don't want to. 1049 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,920 Speaker 4: I want to see it when you're guys that fast, 1050 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:07,800 Speaker 4: I want to see it. 1051 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 2: I agree. It is just like I get the science. 1052 00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 2: I understand, but I still want to try it all 1053 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:23,719 Speaker 2: I guess, but don't blitz what was the line lay. 1054 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,680 Speaker 4: With your science second of the week blitz. 1055 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 3: By extra large degree, it is the man, but extra 1056 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,880 Speaker 3: large disagree. Don't use him to blitz, use him to 1057 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 3: help seal those edges in spy just the feels to 1058 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,480 Speaker 3: keep him from burning the edges. But I also say 1059 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 3: another reason you don't need to send to Marve on 1060 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,319 Speaker 3: overshown is what we didn't talk about is the as 1061 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,720 Speaker 3: much as the Cowboys defensive line is dealing with injury 1062 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,600 Speaker 3: right now, Pittsburgh offensive line. 1063 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:53,960 Speaker 2: Is wricked with injuries. 1064 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,200 Speaker 3: Right So, yeah, we have Cooper Bob as a starting center, 1065 00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:57,960 Speaker 3: we have Tyler Gotten as a starting left tackle where 1066 00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 3: they got Zach Fraser as a starting center, and Mason McCormick. 1067 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 3: Quite likely you will start at left guard, So you 1068 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,799 Speaker 3: should if you're talking about Mozzie taking a step, if 1069 00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,080 Speaker 3: you're talking about Marshawn kneeling, Chauncey Ghost and maybe Osa 1070 00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,640 Speaker 3: should eat well against this injured offensive line of the 1071 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:15,520 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Steelers. 1072 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:16,840 Speaker 2: You shouldn't have to blitz. 1073 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:18,560 Speaker 3: So not only do you not need to blitz, or 1074 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,719 Speaker 3: not only should you not blitz, but you may not 1075 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:21,480 Speaker 3: need to blitz. 1076 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,360 Speaker 4: But sounds nice. It sounds nice, but I want to 1077 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:26,879 Speaker 4: see at least spy. 1078 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,000 Speaker 3: I can't believe you got to use him to spy fields, 1079 00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 3: but don't send him at field, use him to kind 1080 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,440 Speaker 3: of hover. And then as soon as Fields breaks left, 1081 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 3: all right, unleach the demons following me. 1082 00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:44,120 Speaker 2: The first snap that overshown, bully or rushes and blitz, 1083 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,840 Speaker 2: his first snap that he does this crew message on 1084 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:52,960 Speaker 2: Sunday is gonna My answer is Eric, I'm going with 1085 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 2: Eric Hendricks. 1086 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,440 Speaker 3: And I say that because Eric Kendricks is now thrust 1087 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:02,360 Speaker 3: it into the position of the undoubted leader on this 1088 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,359 Speaker 3: side of the ball on the field on game day. 1089 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,719 Speaker 3: There's nobody else in that front seven that will have 1090 00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,160 Speaker 3: the voice that he has and that will be respected 1091 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,719 Speaker 3: like he's respected. So not only from that regard in 1092 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,880 Speaker 3: terms of trying to keep these guys on the rails mentally, 1093 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 3: but also putting guys in the best position. And he 1094 00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,600 Speaker 3: is your quarterback on defense. So as you're having this 1095 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,320 Speaker 3: chess match, right, the play comes in too justin Fields. 1096 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,439 Speaker 3: He gets that from Arthur Arthur Smith, he gets that call, 1097 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 3: and then obviously Coach Zimmer gives a call to Eric 1098 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,160 Speaker 3: Hendricks and then from that point on you. 1099 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:34,960 Speaker 2: Those are the two guys that are playing chess on 1100 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,279 Speaker 2: the fields. It is green day. It is literally those 1101 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:40,320 Speaker 2: two going head ahead. 1102 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,440 Speaker 3: So Justin Fields versus Eric Hendricks, I would hope that 1103 00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,520 Speaker 3: Eric Hendricks will win that mental game from his experience alone. 1104 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,000 Speaker 2: So I would see Justin Fields quite a few times 1105 00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:50,960 Speaker 2: too during the time in the same division, So I 1106 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:51,719 Speaker 2: would like to see him. 1107 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 3: Mess with him, mess with the looks, mess with the gats, 1108 00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,320 Speaker 3: mess with all those things, stunts. 1109 00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 2: Whatever it might be. 1110 00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,320 Speaker 3: That, yeah, it's because you're gonna have to run stunts, hospol, 1111 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:02,719 Speaker 3: let's just call it what it is. You're gonna have 1112 00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 3: to run stunts if you want to get any type 1113 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:05,440 Speaker 3: of pressure, if you want to get any type of 1114 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,160 Speaker 3: containment while eliciting pressure, you're gonna have to do all that. 1115 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,800 Speaker 3: That's all coming from Eric Hendricks. So he's gonna be 1116 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 3: getting those guys lined up and he's gonna be playing 1117 00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,719 Speaker 3: those mental games with with Justin Fields. So I'm looking 1118 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 3: at him. 1119 00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:18,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it. I think there's ways that you 1120 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,840 Speaker 2: can contain him, even with some of the lack of 1121 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,400 Speaker 2: depth that you have and some of the star pieces 1122 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,239 Speaker 2: that are out. But it's not gonna be easy. Justin 1123 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,160 Speaker 2: fields is not. If you're expecting to see Chicago Bears 1124 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 2: justin fields when you're watching Sunday Night Football this week, 1125 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 2: don't watch. That's not who you're getting. But it will 1126 00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,719 Speaker 2: be a chess match. Like you said, between those guys 1127 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:39,919 Speaker 2: in between, the coordinators are trying and get the job done. 1128 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,400 Speaker 2: All right.
