I didn't know this, maybe some of 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:01.160 y'all did. Did you know his rule as Joe Feesman. 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:05.039 Really they changed it to thisman when he went to 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:07.959 Notre Dame as part of a Heisman campaign and it 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:08.919 stuck from. 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:10.360 His kids and his family here before. 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:10.720 Now. 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.720 Some people that are listening to this of the older generation, 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.240 they're probably familiar with that story, but I thought. 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:18.840 That was interesting. And I know he was a. 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:23.440 Washington Commanders back then, obviously different mascot and won a 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:25.320 Super Bowl with them, but just thought that was interesting. 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:29.840 A former divisional quarterback talked a lot about adversity, and 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.680 the Cowboys have got their fair share of adversity, and 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.559 they've also had their fair share of sound this week, 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:39.080 did you guys listen to Mike McCarthy today talking about 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.480 Kellen Moore in the need for him to call a 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:46.240 more conservative game, And I know it raised some eyebrows, 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:48.840 but because you watch so much of the film, I'll 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.520 start with you, what do you think he implied by that? 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:57.080 So basically, and I mentioned this earlier this week, is 0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:00.480 that I personally think that looking at the the way 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.880 that the Cowboys run offense, I feel like there are 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.160 a lot of similar similarities as. 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:05.960 They were last year. 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.600 But some of those guys on the outside, like Amari Cooper, 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.359 the Ceedee Lamb, Michael Gallup obviously isn't playing like those 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:16.280 guys they can beat some of those coverages, they can, 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.320 you know, and what you're seeing now this year, I 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.400 feel like it's similar play calling, but those those young 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:26.160 receivers are having trouble, but then also you gotta take 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:27.639 I think they're gonna. 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:28.560 Have to take the short passes. 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.640 I think that they're gonna have to kind of turn 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.840 back the clock and be methodical and be simple with 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.040 their offensive play calling so it can open up some 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:37.760 of the down. 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:38.640 The field stuff and stuff. 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:40.880 So personally, what I what I took from what he 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.240 was saying is that you don't have some of these 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.160 guys that can just you don't have numerous guys who 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:47.760 can go beat guys one on one. 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:49.240 You are going to have to. 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.880 In my opinion, the Cowboys have to put out some 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:52.600 good tape. 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:54.279 The last tape. 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.359 That people have seen from them from the middle of 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.840 the season last year to the playoff game to game 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.560 one of this season. They don't look like they can 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.160 run the ball. They struggle when you drop dbs in 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.480 coverage and this is a and the offensive line has 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.520 had trouble. So I think that defenses are looking at 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.440 that moving forward and they really are like, you're gonna 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.600 have to go down the field. You're going to have 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.280 to put together good drives, You're gonna have to not 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.920 get penalties. So the Cowboys are when I kind of 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:25.080 understand the conservative take. I think it's more so just 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.799 let's fundamental football, as you've talked about, Jess, just get 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:32.040 back to the basics and hopefully hopefully that opens up 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.360 the other exotic stuff that you want to do, because 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.400 right now you don't look like you can do the 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.360 basics well. And I think that's kind of what he 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:44.000 was saying there. But then also, there is nothing wrong 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.720 with the head coach tapping their offensive line offensive coordinator 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:49.600 on their shoulder and being like, if this is working, 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.720 stick to it. And this is something fans, I can say, 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.760 have been asking about and asking for it for a while. 0:03:55.760 --> 0:04:00.280 It's like, hey, why isn't there being that adjustment made? 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.240 Is like if Kellen looks like he's struggling, and we 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:05.800 have seen like we've seen him go heads ahead with 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:07.960 defensive coordinators and they get the best of him in 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.720 different instances. So I also was happy in some new 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.320 regard to hear that Mike McCarthy addressed it, and hopefully 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.719 it's something that they continue to do moving forward. Because 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.720 Mike McCarthy has been a play caller, he has experience 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:21.960 as a play caller. Not only that, he has experience 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.640 as a play caller with two running backs and where 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.640 they turn running backs sometimes into receiver options. So when 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:31.120 you see the lack of I don't know, the offensive efficiency, 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.800 it's frustrating because it's like, I know, this guy has 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.919 put input into offenses that were at this level or 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:38.920 even less than and they were productive. 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.000 I love that you brought that up, because ladies, I've asked, 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.000 you know, Mike point blank, why not just call the 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.640 place yeah? And he has said that, you know, he 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:50.480 learned when he was in Green Bay that you've got 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.039 to do a better job of delegating yes. And he 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.440 also said that it just took him and Kellen a 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.760 little bit of time in terms of terminology and what 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:01.800 he was trying to accomplish and what Mike was trying 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.159 to accomplish. But you know, he told us last season 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.320 that he was going to be more involved in the 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.880 room with the quarterbacks, more involved in this offense. I 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.680 just wonder the level of his involvement this week versus 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.760 in the week's past. I mean, just when you listen 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.000 to some of his comments, and you know you've watched 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.239 some of the film, what stands out to you about 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.560 Kellen Moore and what he's doing so far. 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.880 Yeah, I just see the same issues and it's not 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:32.800 establishing things early on. And that's in regards to the 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.320 run game. I think it's so vital for a team 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.679 that has a running back duo like Ezekiel Alia Antoni Pollard, 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:42.279 and I think when you escape the run too early 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.240 in the game and you don't allow those guys to 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.040 establish the run game, you're in trouble either way, right 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:48.880 And then you know, I used it to your point 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.680 talking about comparisons from last season, they had those veteran 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.200 wide receivers and the name I think that gets slept 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.880 on quite a lot is Cedric Wilson. He was also 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:02.080 a very key target, especially last season with his let's 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.479 see catching rate of seventy three point eight percent. I mean, 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.919 I think the loss of him, the loss of Amar 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:11.240 over the off season is really really a tough pill 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.760 to swallow when you don't have that veteran presence on 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.480 your wide receiver core. And I think that's something that 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.760 you know, going into this season, Kellen Moore needed to 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.359 adjust to needed to adjust to the fact that you 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.960 have a younger wide receiver corps. You have you know, 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:29.000 rookies essentially having to step up for these bigger name 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.479 guys if you will, and I think not relying and 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.080 pushing the run game as much as he needs to 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.320 be is exactly the issue that where we are now, 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:43.000 and I think you know you have the luxury of 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.080 having two running backs. You have Ezekiel Elliott who pounds 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.160 and pounds out of that hole. He has that speed 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:50.760 to get out when you give him the chance to 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.800 build that momentum, and then you have Tony Pollard that 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.239 you can interchange him with. So Zeke isn't getting fatigued, 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.600 he's not getting those reps over and over and over 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.039 to where he's not getting the yardage. You have the 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.240 run game, you have the tools for it, given we 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:06.720 know the O line situation, but really it's how can 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:08.280 you give the O line a chance when you're not 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:09.480 establishing the run either. 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:10.560 You got to use something. 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.760 You really don't know what your O line is capable 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:14.560 of with this run game until you give them the 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.280 chance to establish your the run game. We didn't even 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.800 get to see that with ten ten Zeke touches. How 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:21.520 can you really know if this O line can hold 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:22.280 up for that run or not. 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:23.360 Penalties didn't help either. 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:24.120 That's what I was gonna go. 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.640 I don't think I think it's I think it's hard 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.400 for them to stick with the run when you are 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.559 getting these penalties that's putting you behind. 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:33.880 And the Kelsey snap penalties too, and Kelsey. 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.239 I don't know if you saw this. It's from Michael 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:40.000 Gelkin Dallas Morning News. He got this away from the cameras. 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.560 But when he was asking Ceedee Lamb about, you know, 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:48.200 his two for eleven against the Bucks, CEEDI said, I 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:49.920 was so I don't think I can use the word 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:51.600 ticked off all clarify. 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:54.400 I was just like, what was going on. I had 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:55.160 to have a flashback. 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:56.880 Yeah, you're gonna get all the attention out. This is 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.880 what they were talking about. I love the mission and 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:04.600 the vulnerability there, but how did you not know that 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.840 you were gonna get targeted as much? I mean, you're 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.120 now they keep saying like you're the guy, and there's 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:12.120 not a lot of guys on the roster, and then 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.920 you bring up Cedric Wilson's catching right. Well, of course 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:16.840 it was high when they got the ballroom last year 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.720 because they were so hyper focused on the CD Lamb, 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:23.560 the mri Kpers, the Michael Gallops and the absence of 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.520 all of that, they really only have to focus. I 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.720 felt like they only gave respect really to two guys, 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:30.560 and that was I think they focused a lot on 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.480 Tony Pollard in the last game. And tell me if 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.200 I'm wrong, when you've looked at someone to take but 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:35.439 and they focused. 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:36.600 A lot on CD Lamb. 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:38.600 Yeah, but I'm. 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.199 Shocked that he wouldn't think that. 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.000 I mean, it's it's a you know, people say it 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.520 all the time. I believe that DeMarcus Laurence said it 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.760 this week. Is like they want complimentary football and on 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.240 the like, I think that can happen, just like with 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.440 one side of the ball and there it's not complementary 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.000 on the offensive side of the ball. To me, they 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:02.600 just have to show that something is successful because if 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:06.679 you don't show that anything is successful offensively, then the 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.320 defense comes in. And like the defense comes in and 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.959 they're they're paying, they're keying in on everything that you're doing. 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:13.880 So to me, I really. 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:19.160 Feel like this game is establishing something positive, putting some 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:20.760 positive tape out there. 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:25.640 For people to second guess. Because right now, second guy, 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:26.600 they have. 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:30.640 A positive real quick guys, because. 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.359 Like Kelsey, they have a positive opening drive. 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:33.440 Tracking that right. 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.280 Then after that it kind of fell pies. 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.240 Here's my thing is that we keep talking about like 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.440 we need them to be. You know, I think balance 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.360 is a big thing that this team needs to focus on. 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.560 We talked about the differentiation between like how much they 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.840 were targeting CD. CD seems surprised by the fact that 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.720 this defense, the opposed defenses are knowing that that's exactly 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.160 where Kellen Moore's gonna go. So Kellen has to do 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.160 a better job of spreading out the love to the 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.840 rest of the team. But also I feel like, you know, 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.760 we talk a lot about fundamentals and again we could 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.280 just you know, be a dead horse forever and ever 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.960 about penalties. One of the things that I think this 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:09.680 team really need to take a step back and do 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.679 is look at the anatomy of this year's team versus 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:17.240 last year's team. You are working with an entire different 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.640 set of tools. You cannot do the same things you 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:25.120 did last year and consider them applicables this season. It's 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.960 not even close. So like Kellen Moore coming out and 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.040 being cute on some of those first drives, maybe last 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.720 year that could have made some sense. You want creativity everyone, 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:38.200 You know, begging him to do something different. Well, the 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.720 difference this year is that you have completely different guys 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:43.520 out there on the field, So you have to get 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.800 used to that first, and you have to build those 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:49.600 fundamental blocks if you will them to even be able 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:53.480 to get some kind of rhythm developed. And then I'm 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.520 looking to him to add something more on top of it, 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.600 give me the cherry on top, but I need you 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:02.120 to like figure out the Sunday first, because like it's 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:03.400 melting at this point. 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:03.880 Yeah. 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.240 Well, and Kelsey, to your point, I was just looking 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.320 over my game log. Their first drive when they had 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.280 the fourteen plays went for fifty four yards, even though 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.240 it resulted in literally their only points in the game. 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.480 It was a fifty one yard film out Brett Maher. 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:20.160 They had six different receivers on that drive. They did 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.040 run the ball, they did get it out to their receivers, 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:24.920 so it felt more balanced. But then it's like you 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.000 started moving away from it. You see a lot of 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.280 There was a lot of incomplete passes in this game. 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:31.600 You know, as I was long it, there was a 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.520 ton of incompletions. And yes, Dak was throwing into some 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.880 tight windows, but even listening to some of the guys 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:39.720 this week, it sounded like some of the guys weren't 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:43.280 running the right routes. And I have a hard time 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:46.800 believing that it's going to get any better with Cooper Rush, 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:48.240 even though they did get some work with them in 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.560 the preseason, which was different than what they got with Dak. 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.000 You know, most of their meaningful work with the ones 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:54.240 was during the joint practices. 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.079 But as much as they're saying. 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.840 Publicly how much confidence they have in Dak, I mean 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:04.400 Cooper Rush, I just have a hard time believing that 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:09.640 we're gonna see this offense suddenly thrill us uh in 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:10.200 week two. 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.280 I think you could see more of I think you 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.960 could see more spread in the ball just because Cooper 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.839 Rush just he's I DAK and there's no it's no 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:19.560 knock to Duck. But he's always been a little bit 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.880 more of a conservative, you know, quarterback. There's nothing wrong 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:24.360 with the game manage, there's nothing wrong with that. It's 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:25.360 not a bad word out. 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:26.040 Here in these streets. 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:29.760 But I I do I do see him like not 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:31.880 being afraid to go down the field a little bit. 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.920 I want them to show some type. 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:35.720 Of vertical threat. 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.520 Just get these guys on their heels, just just have 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.560 those dvs come off the line a little bit more 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:44.079 like hopefully turp And gets some burn in this game. 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.720 I think they tried them on like this option route 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:48.760 that was kind of nice. But by that time, nobody 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:50.560 cares about what you're doing in a run game because 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.800 they know you're gonna go away from it. But I 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.240 hope that it's early that they established some type of like, no, 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.520 we're gonna go down the field a few times, because 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.760 if you're not spread in the ball, why would safeties 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:04.680 care they're gonna come down and play in the box. 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.200 Well, we're gonna go and take a break here real quick. 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:10.360 But Micah Parsons said the other day that he saw 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.680 this zero to one start as an opportunity and likened 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.680 it the opportunity and the success they had in Week 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:17.440 two last year. 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:19.559 Why I take issue with that. 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.120 When we come back, but the Girls Talk, Boys Talk podcast, 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.000 brought to you by Jigsaw Dating, the official dating partner 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.120 of the Dallas Cowboys, will be right back at Jigsaw Dating. 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.160 We obviously want the Cowboys to bring that sixth ring home, 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.760 but to be honest, we're more focused on finding the 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.200 person who will put a ring on your finger.

I am impressed with the leadership prowess of 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.160 Micah Parsons in year two. We even saw some of 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.440 that in year one, but he was looking at this 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:52.760 as an opportunity in week two and he likened it 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.960 to last year when they lost to Marcus Lawrence and 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.400 was just the most random injury at practice and non 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:03.400 contact drill one of the tackling dummies, and it felt bad, 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:05.520 you know, heading into especially after you were coming off 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:07.360 of what felt like a really close win against the 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.800 Bucks and now you're going and facing Justin Herbert and 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.680 the Chargers. But I went back and looked at that game, 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:17.920 and respectfully Micah, I disagree because while you lost DeMarcus Lawrence, 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.200 Micah ended up stepping up in that game and had 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.000 a sack, Trayvon Diggs had an interception. But specifically, when 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.560 you look at the offense and that one Tony Poler 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:29.240 had over one hundred yards and that one Ceedee Lamb 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:32.520 had eighty one yards, I don't know if I have 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.760 this sort of confidence in this offense and their ability 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.800 to respond in week two. In other words, they don't 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.560 have a Micah Parsons that can step up in the 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:43.960 absence of DeMarcus Lawrence. 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.080 I mean, Micah Parsons did so well last year. 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.480 They were going to DeMarcus Lawrence and restructuring his deal, 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.000 and that says everything you used to know about how 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.720 they felt about Micah and what was behind him. I 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:58.040 don't think there's a guy in this offense, specifically at quarterback, 0:16:58.360 --> 0:16:59.960 that is going to do such a good job before 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:03.440 in the gaps that we're talking to Dak about redoing 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:04.200 his deal next year. 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:05.120 Seriously, I mean, I. 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:09.160 Think I kind of understand, uh the game planning aspect 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:12.200 of it, to have a similar game plan as the Chargers. 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.120 The Chargers game, I would argue that was obviously one 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.120 of their better running games they got. 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.680 I mean, uh, Tony killed them on the edge. 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:22.679 I mean they got a lot like they struggle with 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:26.199 outside contain the Chargers did, So you do look at 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.320 this game like you kind of want the similar thing. 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.480 And then Ezekiel Elliott had a whole bunch of yard. 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.679 Like it's I think that they kind of want to 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:36.000 playoff playoff the run. So I get maybe like compared 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.280 into the Chargers because the game plan may be similar 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.480 as far as like we don't have there's not a 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:46.400 person on the offense that is Michael Parsons quality. 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:47.760 To cup in and step in for a deck. 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:50.520 Like I said, I think it's just gonna be an 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:52.800 all around thing. This run game is gonna have to 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:58.040 be productive and actually have some type of succession running 0:17:58.080 --> 0:17:59.520 the ball like that's all. 0:17:59.560 --> 0:17:59.879 That's all. 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.560 But I do understand kind of what he's saying about 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.439 the circumstances with the game, maybe the game planning for 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:09.080 how they want to tackle being or the Cincinnati. 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:11.119 Be even just the mentality of it, right. I Mean, 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.560 here's the thing. I think, in order for there to 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.960 be any form of a pulse early on in this game, 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.439 the defense is going to have to take more of 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:22.680 the workload, Let's be honest with it. And I think 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:24.879 in order to do that, they need to stack up 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.200 the interceptions. They need to put the pressure on Joey 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.320 b They need to get in that pocket, and they 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.520 need to allow him to make those mistakes, and by mistakes, 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.320
