Because I don't think 30 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: this is going to be an easy one as well. No, 31 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: you're absolutely correct, cod I do not think this is 32 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: going to be easy game. And I hope that everybody 33 00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: else does not live past Cleveland, because this is not 34 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: Cleveland of the old right, and this is a new Cleveland, 35 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: more experienced Baker. I don't think that he's, you know, 36 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: quite the way in which he wants to be yet, 37 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: But they have affordable running game. I have taken a 38 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: look at some of the film from last week. These 39 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: boys are gonna come here ready to play, So you 40 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: gotta strap up and Rob, they're gonna have to do 41 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: it seemingly without Lyle Collins as the other day or 42 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: I guess yesterday, both Stephen Jones and Mike McCarthy addressed 43 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: the fact that he might not be ready for a 44 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: week four return, which is what was originally previously thought. 45 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: Have you heard anything different on Lyle Collins and what 46 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: exactly is going on with his situation? Boy? Well, as 47 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: you know, injuries this year are more under lock and 48 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: key than ever, and all that we know at this 49 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: point is that it doesn't sound like this week or 50 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: maybe anytime soon for Lyle. And you know it's been 51 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: reported that it was a hip injury and Stephen reference 52 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: on the fan yesterday, maybe it's a couple of different 53 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: things he's dealing with. I know that if you remember, 54 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: he got back into practice late into camp and that 55 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: was encouraging and you know, there was talking maybe the 56 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,679 Speaker 1: conditioning was part of getting him acclimated back to camp. 57 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: But then the last week of camp apparently it sounded 58 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: like there was a setback of sorts. Now how serious. 59 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: You know, it didn't sound like it was serious at 60 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: points in camp, but anytime you're talking surgery and the 61 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: fact that they're trying to, you know, delay this thing 62 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: and see how he responds before having that as the 63 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: last resort. That's never a good indication either. We'll see 64 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: where it goes, but I think the Cowboys are having 65 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: to look the prospect of a patchwork line going forward, 66 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: at least on the right side. It does sound like 67 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith. I know we've said this the last couple 68 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: of weeks, but I think they're more and more optimistic 69 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: about this week maybe getting back into practice and trying 70 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: to play. But you might be seeing another rotation or 71 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: another patchwork issue on the right tackle that's disappointing and 72 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: in heck I know we talked about it yesterday in 73 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: terms of finding the best five guys. It reminds me 74 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: of really the conversation going into last season, coming out 75 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: of twenty eighteen, heading into twenty nineteen, who was the 76 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: best five? Who were the best five linemen that you're 77 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: gonna put out there, and how are you going to 78 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: organize it? And I know we talked about some of 79 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: these different preferences in terms of the line yesterday, Heckman, 80 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: But is there anything that sticks out to you because 81 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: I know there's a couple of different places those puzzle 82 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: pieces could go. You know, it begins to be cliche 83 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: or it is cliche when you say injuries are a 84 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: part of football. But we have problems all across the 85 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: line except for number seventy. That's for sure. You can 86 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: play any position. I don't think there's nothing he can't 87 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: do at this point, but we've got to find some 88 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: type of continuity in that line, and I think the 89 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: Cowboys are just trying to shuffle the pieces to get 90 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: that done. It's disappointing the news on Lyle College, and 91 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: you know, I don't obviously, like Rob said, everything is 92 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: lock and key. So there's they're really top tight lift 93 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: about what's coming out of the Star on Lyle. But 94 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: he was one of our best amongst our best lineman 95 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: last year and this injury is setting back now. We 96 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: we looked at Terrence Steele for the for the first 97 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: three games. He's serviceable, obviously, did a really good job 98 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: first two games, but now it's just getting to the 99 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: point where you're starting to see where that rush is 100 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: getting to deck and he doesn't have any time at all, 101 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: and it's just pressure coming from everywhere. So Kyle yes, 102 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: we have to find the best five guys that we 103 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: have that are healthy. But the injury bug is not 104 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: doing the Cowboys any favors. Yeah, it really has it. 105 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: I don't know about you guys, but I liked what 106 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: I saw the second half of that game, Like I 107 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: you know, Tarren Steele, and it came out yesterday that 108 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: he was probably dealing with some food poisoning or something, uh, 109 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: not a COVID thing, just you know, yeah, I mean 110 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: Steven had to make this. Yeah, Steven had to make 111 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: that very clear on the fan. But you know, if 112 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: he's back and ready to go this week, I you know, 113 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: I know Zack Martin has been an All Pro for 114 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: six years at right guard, but you know, if he 115 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: can hold down that edge and you feel good about 116 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: Looney inside, and you feel good about what tyler Itis 117 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: did at center, you know I mentioned best five yesterday. 118 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: To me, that's probably your best five and if that's 119 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: what you're trying to accomplish, I might consider sticking with that. Now. 120 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's not going to tell us. We'll probably find 121 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: out at noon on Sunday, but you know that it 122 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: seemed to work for him. They finally found a rhythm 123 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: and as much as Dak was throwing in that game, boy, 124 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: you gotta be you gotta be solid in your pass 125 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: pro and really, hopefully with that case being said, you 126 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: get your left tackle back this week, because just because 127 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: Lyle Collins is doesn't mean that Tyren Smith can't come 128 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: back this week. And he tried to go out there. 129 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: He was working out. We saw it on the pregame 130 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: show Isaiah with Nick Eatman. He was talking about how 131 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: he was giving it a try, he would look good 132 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: out there, and Nick was very confident in the fact 133 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: that this was going to be the final week that 134 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: he's out. If he was out and he ended up 135 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: being sidelined for that Seattle game. Hopefully he's here this 136 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: week against Cleveland. By the way, just so you just 137 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: because you mentioned it, Rob in terms of Terrence Steele 138 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: and not being a COVID nineteen situation, not gonna spend 139 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: any time on this because nobody wants to hear about it. 140 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 1: But there is some breaking news in the NFL, a 141 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: team outbreak amongst the Tennessee Titans. Now eight new positive 142 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen tests throughout the last couple days of testing. 143 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: So really for the first time. We're gonna see how 144 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: the NFL reacts to a positive outbreak in terms of 145 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. Like I said, I don't want to spend 146 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: a ton of time on it. This isn't talking Titans 147 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: or talking COVID nineteen. We're gonna keep talking Cowboys. But 148 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: I wanted to let that be known because this was 149 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: released just a couple moments ago on Yahoo Sports. But 150 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: whenever we look at this offensive line, guys, is this 151 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: the biggest worry for the Cowboys? I know the secondary 152 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: is just a huge worry, and I know Isaiah has 153 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: already shaken his head, but the secondary, the secondary is 154 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: a huge worry whenever it comes to this Cowboys team. 155 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: But is it the biggest worry because of the offensive line? 156 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: And is there anything else that sticks out to you 157 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: after the first three weeks of the season. Yeah, well, 158 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: you know, you know, I'm a say the secondary, right, Obviously, 159 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,119 Speaker 1: obviously the secondary has some work to do. The boys 160 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: are just they're struggling, man, the boys are struggling. They 161 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: You obviously have the second that the safeties that are 162 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: having their eyes in the backfield, they're not communicating and 163 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: passing off. You know, passing the offensive receivers off, you know, 164 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: and coverage. Then you have you know, Diggs and these 165 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: guys that really can't play man to man right now. Digs, 166 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: he played okay in the second half, but he still 167 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: has gotten torched as a rookie will every now and then, 168 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: and he just hasn't caught a break in these first 169 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: three now going into four games, he's faced a number 170 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: one receiver, a real number one receiver, in every game. 171 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: So obviously the secondary has some issues. The offensive line 172 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: that they did play well once they you know, played 173 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 1: a little musical chairs on on that front there in 174 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. But you know, I think this is now, 175 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: you know, we feel like we keep saying this, but collectively, 176 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: this defensive line coming in here this week, these dudes 177 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: can play now, you know. And where I feel like 178 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: word Dallas is is has been week these first three weeks. 179 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: I feel like Cleveland strong and I know we'll get 180 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: in there in the later in the later on in 181 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: the week. But the offensive line isn't worry in the 182 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: secondary is a worry. Rob. Do you agree with that? Yeah? 183 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: What's up? Go ahead? Here, go ahead? No, I was 184 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: just saying I think that for all of the flat 185 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: that the offensive line is getting. And just not to 186 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: be a stat head here, but when it comes down 187 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: to the numbers that this offense has been putting up 188 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: right now, we're on pace to shatter a lot of 189 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: records seven thousand yards. If we stay on this pace, 190 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: aft that's what you want on the numbe wins, then 191 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: we're right there. But at the same time, you have 192 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: to you have to look at the fact that the 193 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: offensive line has had some success with the yards that 194 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: Dak is putting up. So I mean, if we're looking 195 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: at one A, one B as far as what are 196 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: our priorities and what we need to get together, obviously 197 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: the secondary would be one A. Yeah, you know, I 198 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: was thinking about this last night. We don't want to 199 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: be any circumstances where there's no fans in the stands 200 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: are very limited fans in the stands. But I do 201 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: think it creates a unique situation for a team like 202 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: the Cowboys all season long, especially on the road, where 203 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: they're set up to have success because they're not having 204 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: to deal with crowd noise, especially with an offensive line 205 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: that's dealing with some things. You know, if it were 206 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: rocking at at Century Link field on Sunday. I don't 207 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: know if the Cowboys put up thirty one points with 208 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: as much change as they have on their offensive line. 209 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: And you know they're going to go into some other 210 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: tough places this year. Baltimore, Philadelphia is gonna be tough 211 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: and in Minnesota, and and so I think you hate 212 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 1: to see this situation, but I think the offense can 213 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: basically settle in every single week and have success. So 214 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: I have less concern about that than defensively. And Isaiah 215 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: hit it on a great point. You know, I'm with 216 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: Heckma and Isaiah hit on a great point in terms 217 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: of digs because it's tough for him. You know, he's 218 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: been their best corner so far, but he's been really 219 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: challenged and a lot of it's just due to consistency, 220 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: guys being in and out of the lineup, and quarterbacks 221 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: are going after him. And the best thing I saw 222 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 1: that he did was with about ten minutes left to 223 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: go in the game, they went right after him, go 224 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: route to DK Metcalf and he broke that pass up. 225 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: It shows he's got a short memory. It shows he's tough. 226 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: But there's gonna be growing pains, And so when you 227 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: have a rookie back there, and you've got there's some 228 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: communication issues overall, off and on. There's just a lot 229 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: to clean up back there right now. There's a lot 230 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: to clean up, and I think there's more to clean 231 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: up on the secondary side of things, and there is 232 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: the offensive flying And I agree with you, Rob, I 233 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: don't think the competitiveness of Treyvon Diggs is ever gonna 234 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: be questioned. That wasn't a question coming out of college. 235 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: He's always been a competitor. He's just like his brother 236 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs, who's tearing up the league as a wide 237 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: receiver right now and always has torn up the league 238 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: as a wide receiver. But it's really the trial by fire. 239 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: It's putting him into a tough situation early on to 240 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: the fact that he has to make these plays against 241 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: a Julio Jones, against the DK Metcalf, and now he's 242 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 1: gonna have to do it against Jarvis Landry and Odell 243 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: Beckham junior coming up. I think the biggest thing here is, 244 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: even though we've got the injuries both in the secondary 245 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: and on the offensive line, you're missing Anthony Brown and 246 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: Cheetah Owoozier more than I think you're missing a Lyle 247 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: Collins and a Tyrant Smith, not because Lyle Collins and 248 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith aren't great players and they aren't crucial to 249 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: your football team, but mostly for the fact of you 250 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: have guys that can replace them, more notably in terms 251 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: of what the Cowboys have in the secondary, because they 252 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: don't have the replacements like you would a guy stepping 253 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: in like a Brandon Knight and maybe even moving Zach 254 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: Martin at the tackle. Now, whenever it comes to this weekend, 255 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: because of the issues and because of the team that's 256 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: coming up in the Cleveland Browns, who scares you most 257 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: based off of the injuries and the holes in the 258 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: offensive line in the secondary? Is it Myles Garrett going 259 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: up against that offensive line or is it these wide 260 00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: receivers going up against the secondary? From Cleveland's perspective, I 261 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: am that's a good question there. Um, I'm honestly more honestly, 262 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw a third one in there. I'm honestly 263 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: more concerned about our defensive line versus this versus this 264 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: rushing attack. Wow, Okay, yeah, I'm more concerned about that. 265 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: But you saw our defensive line show up a little 266 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: bit more than they had in the previous two weeks. Um. 267 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: Last week in Seattle, I think they did an okay job, 268 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: but I think Seattle still average four point eight yards 269 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: per carry. So, um, we know what's gonna happen this week. 270 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: These guys are gonna come in. They're not gonna abandon 271 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: the run like Seattle did. These guys are gonna hand 272 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: the ball off every single time. And on film, this 273 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: offensive line is mean, they're nasty. Um, And you know 274 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 1: we already know these running backs. I mean in Chubbs, 275 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 1: in m and Hunt, they're gonna come downhill. So I'm 276 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: more concerned about the presence at on our defensive line 277 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: and being able to be stout up front. M to 278 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: not allow these guys to get the rushing going, because 279 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: if they if they can be stout, then I'm not 280 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 1: really worried about Baker Mayfield throwing the ball around. He's 281 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: not that accurate of a quarterback yet. But I'm also 282 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: if the defensive line is not stout, then guess what 283 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: then these these these linemen are up on the second 284 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 1: level and now all of a sudden you're having to 285 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: worry about you know, Um Smith, Jalen and Um and 286 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: Thomas having to take on these linemen and we know 287 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: we can't afford either one of those guys to go down. 288 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: It's huge. Heck yeah for me, this look, I think 289 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: it's more what I what I'm looking at is more 290 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: in line with what Isaiah saying. But I think it's 291 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: the XS and those the coaching. It's Kevin Stefanski versus 292 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: Mike Nolan's defense. I think Kevin Stefanski being the former 293 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator for the Vikings, and we saw what that 294 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: running game with Coop but well, Dalvin Cook excuse me, 295 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: was presented to US at AT and T Stadium last year. 296 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: And with Chubb and hunt Man, it's it's gonna be 297 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: a challenge for us. They do a variety of things 298 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: in twenty two. They these guys even play with a fullback. 299 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: How about that? You know? And I think it's gonna 300 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: be a challenge for our linebackers. Hooper, they're tight end. Uh, 301 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot there for our defensive front. 302 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: These guys are going to have the work cut out 303 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: for them because it's gonna be a ground and pound 304 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: kind of game for the Browns against US. Yeah, the 305 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: run game is jumps out just from watching them on 306 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: Sunday a little bit. They come at you in waves 307 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: and it will allow Baker Mayfield to settle in a 308 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: little bit if they can establish that balance. But I 309 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: probably have to lean towards just the duo running back 310 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: Landry and Beckham. You know, they're they're gonna challenge the 311 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: Cowboys secondary and based on probably what they saw on 312 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: film in the first half at least of the Seattle gaming, yea, 313 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: And how do the Cowboys respond? And I do think, 314 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: you know, watching it back, the communication back there was better. 315 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: It was better, and they did a better job. You know, 316 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: a lot of the coverage that they had led to 317 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: pressure upfront actually in the second half, So there was 318 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: something to build on there. But when you have receivers 319 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: of that quality on both on the outside, both sides, 320 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: it just doesn't get any easier for this defense man. 321 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: It's crazy now that now they're not up against the 322 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: Super Bowl quarterback. But but the talent is there at 323 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: the skill positions. Yeah, that's the game, But the talents 324 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: there the skill positions will really challenge you again this 325 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: week very much. One if you're looking at just receivers 326 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: versus the secondary versus the DBS. Obviously, I'm taking the 327 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns receivers. However, they don't have Russell Wilson like 328 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: you mentioned dropping the ball into bucket, right, so it 329 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: kind of mixes that advantage in the sense. Who do 330 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: you think, just real quickly before we go to break, 331 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: who do you think has the better wide receivers? Seattle 332 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: or Cleveland? Seattle? Oh? I think so too. I think 333 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are better receivers than Jarvis 334 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: Landry and Odell Beckham Junior. Right now, Sure, Odell Beckham, 335 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: they're still great, and they have the name and they 336 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: have the career to back it up. But I just 337 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: think Metcalf and and A Lockett posed a better your 338 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: threat right now, and you got through that at least 339 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: now I wouldn't take you through that.

You can continue sending him in. 390 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Periscope comments and there's gonna be 391 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: a ton of a ton of questions rolling in here 392 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: over the next couple of days. This first one's gonna 393 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 1: be kind of tough, and I'm gonna give this one 394 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: to Rob because Rob might be the only one that 395 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: really has the inside information, because I know I don't 396 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: have it. In terms of Tristan Hill after what was 397 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: pronounced that or I guess said as the Gator roll 398 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: tackle the other day on Chris Carson, is there any 399 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: opportunity that we see or any chance that we see 400 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: any kind of repercussions, any kind of circumstance where he 401 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: gets either suspended or suspended or find over that hit, 402 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: and also the head to head hit to Russell Wilson, Rob, 403 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,479 Speaker 1: you gotta see you guys watched WWE or you'll see 404 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: absolutely kind. They kind of had a Ken Shamrock Kurt 405 00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: Angle ankle lock feel to it, and you know, the 406 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 1: Cowboys came out and you know, Mike McCarthy and Mike 407 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: Nolan both were emphatic that there wasn't intent, and I 408 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: don't believe there was intent either. I think I think 409 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: Tristan's a really passionate young player. I mean, he motor 410 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: is the thing we kept hearing about him coming out 411 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: of college, you know, high energy player. And I think 412 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: he's got something to prove this year too. I think 413 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: I think a lot of he took so much criticism 414 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: last year. I think he's really trying to show it 415 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: on the field. And I think it was it was incidental, 416 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: but you know, I wonder, I don't. I don't. I'd 417 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: be surprised if there's a suspension. And it's really unfortunate 418 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: what happened to Chris Carson. I hope it sounds like 419 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: he's gonna be okay um at least for at some 420 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: point this season. But you know, anytime that you hit 421 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, that that one that jumped out to me. 422 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: When when that happens. You may be looking at a 423 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: fine I don't. I don't know if if that'll happen. 424 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's pretty unfortunate. And it sounds like 425 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: Seattle was pretty ticked off about it too. Yeah, not 426 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: a good thing to see on film, and it Fox 427 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: did really too many favors and the fact that they 428 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: kind of just replayed it over and over and over 429 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: and over again. I'm right there with you. I don't 430 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: think it was intentional. It's hard to and Isaiah, you 431 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: could probably speak to this, but it's tough to to 432 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: really tell whether or not it's intentional at the time. 433 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: Did you think there was any malicious intent. It's it's 434 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: very hard to say whether or not it is a 435 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: malicious intent. I can say as a player, you know 436 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: when it wouldn't it be done with a play, I'll 437 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: put it that way. I can't. I can't say that 438 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: he was doing it intentionally to try to try to 439 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: inflict pain and hurt on Carson. But I do think 440 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: he went beyond the point of which he should have 441 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: in terms of being done with the play. He made 442 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: the tackle. Um, he made the tackle, and then for 443 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: another couple of seconds he decided to now turn and 444 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: while this dude's leg is locked in your arms and 445 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: start rolling. Well, even though you may not have intentionally 446 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 1: tried to hurt him, well, you know, by holding somebody's 447 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: leg and rolling over, nothing good is going to come 448 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: from that, right. So it's one of those it's one 449 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: of those fine line things. I don't think that he'll 450 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: get suspended, but I do think that he will get 451 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: fined for. I think they'll probably find him more for 452 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: the hit on Wilson and taking taking that death roll 453 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: into account as well. That's a great point, and there's 454 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: a reason we're talking about it that way in studio. 455 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,479 Speaker 1: In studio and Isaiah is a lot calmer than at 456 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: the house. Look, there's a difference between dirty players and 457 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: dirty plays. Uh, that's bush league, man. You you learned 458 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: that in literal league not to do that or to 459 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: do that right and you and from everything that I've 460 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: heard about the fraternity of NFL players, it's just not 461 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 1: something that you do and you know better than that. 462 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: And so Rob, I'm with you. He's a guy that's 463 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: trying to prove himself. He's playing with high intensity and energy. 464 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: He made a mistake, right, and if you look at 465 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: him in college and even his first year in the league, 466 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: he hadn't that wasn't that wasn't a part of his game. 467 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: But maybe in Seattle he you know, convenient at nas 468 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: he lost consciousness and made a few bad plays back 469 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,719 Speaker 1: to back. Albeit it. But at the same time, you know, 470 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: I'm there's a fine. I feel like as though, especially 471 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: with all the attention that it is getting, that a 472 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: fine is imminent. Okay, And you know, if this happened 473 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: to Zeke, you know, if this happened to Zeke, I 474 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: think we probably arms and it would be it would 475 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: be it would be all our sports center. Yeah, And 476 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: so I get it. I get why Seattle's upset, But 477 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: I at the end of the day, I don't think 478 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: he did it on purpose. I think he was trying 479 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: to make a play and trying to help his defense 480 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: save this game. And uh, it's just unfortunate and like 481 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,239 Speaker 1: kind of how Isaiah said, it doesn't need to be 482 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,479 Speaker 1: malicious intent in order for it to be a fine, 483 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: and I don't think it was malicious intent. But there's 484 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 1: a reason we are talking about it two days later, 485 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 1: as oh, where is there any kind of repercussions that 486 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: are going to come from that hit and from the 487 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: role that are going to move forward. Now, there will 488 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: be repercussions, but it won't come from the league. It 489 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: may not be gonna be from the league now, player 490 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: and they took note and playing against Cleveland with a 491 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: what an offensive line that's already known as being a 492 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: little edgy, you best believe he might want to keep 493 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: his feet out the ground, just saying, just saying, it happens. 494 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: Guys take note of it, and if they have opportunity 495 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: and to inflict some pain, they probably will take their 496 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: up and take their shot. That's a great point. This 497 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 1: next question comes from ATK on periscope, and then I 498 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 1: love this question for heck My Harrison right here, Isaiah. 499 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: I know you'll piggyback on this as well. But how 500 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: bad do things have to get in the secondary before 501 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: you think the Cowboys have to add some help And 502 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 1: by by you think, we mean the Cowboys front office. 503 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 1: They have the highest passer rating in the NFL as 504 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: far as how how much sports do they need to 505 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: get Yeah, for a change to be made. That's just 506 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 1: the miscues, miscommunication and all of that. And Stephen Jones 507 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: in his interview with one oh five three the fan. 508 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: He said that, look, we got the guys here on 509 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: campus that we believe are going to make the difference. 510 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: So I'm waiting to see the guy that we have 511 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 1: on campus that's gonna make the difference. Woods. Uh, right now, 512 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: right now, Woods and Thompson are just not getting it done. 513 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: They're getting beat on routes that guys are drawing up 514 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: in the sand, and you shouldn't have that, especially with 515 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: two safeties high When you go back and watch the 516 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: film on Seattle game, it's just mind boggling, like from 517 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: high school. I mean, these guys are not just open, 518 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: they're like high school football open what I'm saying. And yeah, yeah, 519 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: I mean I'm not gonna say that, I'm gonna say streaking, 520 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: streaking down the field. But we got it. We've able 521 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: to do something about that. And I think that you 522 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: have to take the glass off the button right now 523 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: and start looking all over the league at who we 524 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: can get in here too. Ton kind of show up 525 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: some of these ills. Heck, are you saying that we 526 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: needed to get a safe? Is that what you're telling 527 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: me right now? You're saying that we need to pick 528 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: up up here. We go. So you're saying, should we 529 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: drive down to Houston right now? Is that what you're saying? 530 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: We should we drive down to Houston and just stop 531 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: everything that's going on. There is a guy down there 532 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: I've heard, Can I go with you? Man? And breaking back? 533 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 1: I don't I don't understand how this is a conversation 534 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: now going into the fourth week in the season, where 535 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: we had an opportunity to take advantage of this before 536 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: the season even started, Like why why are we talking 537 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: about this right now as if this is new information? 538 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: We knew we didn't have the guys we needed in 539 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: order to have a Super Bowl run right right now, 540 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: we're one and two in a big portion of why 541 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: a big part of why we were wanted two is 542 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: because of the plays that we're giving up on the 543 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: back end of our secondary This was known, right this 544 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: is this was information that was not This is not 545 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 1: more as cold you don't have to decipher what the 546 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: hecks going on. We knew that we needed help, and 547 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: we had an opportunity to grab not one, but we 548 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: had opportunity to grab two different current all pro safeties 549 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: and we said, nah, we're good, yeah, yeah, three, Like 550 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna talk about the honey badge of that. 551 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: That's about that. But we had true So we passed 552 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: on three. I don't know when in the history of 553 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: everdem do you pass on three Pro Bowl safeties because 554 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 1: they don't fit what you're looking for. Yeah. Well, And 555 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: the whole point about the new system with Mike Nolan 556 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: is the fact that you want to fit your system 557 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: to the players and if you can bring in a 558 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: guy like that, it may end up working out. It's 559 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: a little bit tougher to do that with a mid 560 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: season adjustment and with no preseason to make that adjustment, 561 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 1: but at least is an option, and it's something that 562 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: the Cowboys maybe should have looked at previously. But sticking 563 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 1: with the secondary, Jake, our guy, Jake who always comes 564 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: up with fantastic questions for these segments. Uh, he is 565 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: the man. Uh. Will we see Donovan Wilson get more 566 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: snaps on defense because of the struggling in the secondary 567 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: and what we've seen moving forward. I'm gonna leave that 568 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: up to Rob Okay. I feel like it's you can't 569 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: ask Rob about a Texas A and m guy. That's true, 570 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: that's true, that's my guy, that's my guy. I love 571 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson, but you know the guy I'm thinking about. 572 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: And look, Donovan has shown he can be around the football. Um, 573 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: what about Brandon Carr? I mean, they signed him. I 574 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: know they signed him right before the season started, but 575 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: you know, he got he didn't play in week one. 576 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: I think he got seventeen snaps in Week two and 577 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: he only played three snaps against Seattle. And I'm just wondering, 578 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: you know, at some point, you know, maybe they need 579 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: to they're trying to ease him in, But is he 580 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: an option because I think they've he I know he's 581 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: not all pro at safety like the gentleman we mentioned earlier, 582 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: but he played well for Baltimore last year back there, 583 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: and I think maybe that's that's somewhere you could look 584 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: in house potentially, um, because of his experience and because 585 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: he can play a couple of different spots for you. 586 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: But I don't know. All we know is that they 587 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: for now are are basically chalking things up to maybe 588 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: lack of time together and and you know, show social 589 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: patients here with the guys they have, But at what 590 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: point do you do you run out of patience? I 591 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: don't know. We'll see yeah. Now, yeah, I don't know, 592 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: we're getting some return from the fan. I hear r 593 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: J choppy on the line, now yeah, right now, I'm 594 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: here in r J choppy. Well, let's continue on. I 595 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: don't know what's going on. But anyways, whenever we're talking 596 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: about this secondary, you also got to start with the 597 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: pressure up front. And the pressure upfront was supposed to 598 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: be something improved this year. We finally saw a little 599 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: bit of that against Seattle, and we saw it whenever 600 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: it came to Alden Smith. Three sacks on Sunday, which 601 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: was huge for Alden Smith. But why is Alden Smith 602 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: you're leading pass rusher. Why is a guy who hasn't 603 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: played football in five years out doing guys like Dontari Poe, 604 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: like a Tristan Hill who we just talked about, and 605 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: then most notably like a DeMarcus Lawrence on the other 606 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: side of the football who's supposed to be an All 607 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: Pro caliber player. Where are these guys? And I know 608 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: I mentioned and I tease Connor McGovern. We might talk 609 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: about that in the next segment, but I do want 610 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: to hit this because Aldon Smith has been great, But 611 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: how worried are you about the rest of the offensive 612 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: line or defensive line. Rather heckma, who oh you're coming 613 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: to me? My bad, my bad? Hum, then just at 614 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: to show you how good all the Smith is, um, 615 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: and in the five years of his career that he sacrificed. 616 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: I want to instead of throwing all these other guys 617 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: under the bus, let's just talk about All the Smith 618 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: and who's playing out of his mind right now? Um, 619 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: and just what he's this first three plays from the 620 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. When you start the game, man ALDA. 621 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: Smith is playing like a guy on a mission. And 622 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: I've read several articles about the fact that we need 623 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: to go ahead and extend All the Smith right now. 624 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: Let's not even wait till the end of the season, 625 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: because he is playing at a top level. I don't 626 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: you know, when I look at the rest of the 627 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: defensive line, I don't know if it's just Kimmy Street 628 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: or what it is. And it always makes me think 629 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: back to the Gerald McCoy injury. Man, what could have 630 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: been with Gerald McCoy. I don't know. Maybe we're in 631 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: the same boat. But I'm looking for guys like Crawford. 632 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: I'm looking for Tristan Hill, who has played with a 633 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: lot of energy, but also Everson Griffin guys to make 634 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: a difference that be a part of that pass rush 635 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: to get to him. But we had three sacks. We 636 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: had three sacks last Sunday, and we had what four 637 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: or five pressures are knocked downs on Wilson. So all 638 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 1: in all, when you have a three sack night by 639 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: just any defense is admission. I would think that you 640 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: would think that that's a success. But again, the numbers 641 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: don't are proving to be otherwise because we're taking such 642 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: a big loss on the back half of our defense. 643 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: Rob Yeah, I think you know, they did affect the 644 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: quarterback overall in the game. And I think they had 645 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: more opportunities in this game because he talked about it 646 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: last week. Russ will hold the ball and he will 647 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: buy time and he'll give you opportunities to hit him. 648 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: And I think they hit him eight times. Eight times, 649 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: and obviously Alden was the catalyst there. I don't think 650 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: Tank's healthy. I think, you know, I think um, I 651 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: think he's trying out there. I know he's getting a 652 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: lot of criticism, but there's a reason he only played 653 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,239 Speaker 1: thirty one snaps in the game. You know, they were 654 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,959 Speaker 1: trying to manage him. Clearly, I think Alden played sixty. 655 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: You know, that's probably where you want Tank when he's 656 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: at full strength, So they're trying to manage that. He 657 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 1: saw more Dorance Armstrong, you saw more Everson Griffin, like 658 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: Heck said. And you're seeing a little bit of a 659 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: change inside too. I think Antoine Woods took some of 660 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: Doune Terry post snaps, especially in this last game, so 661 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: you're seeing more of a rotation inside, and maybe they're 662 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: still trying to kind of figure out their rotation there. 663 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: I like what I've seen from Tristan Hill overall. Say 664 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: for those two plays we talked about, Yeah, but yeah, 665 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: I mean Alden's They got to find more the type 666 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: of production overall. Clearly that in addition to what I'll 667 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: is doing for him, it's gonna have to come from somewhere. 668 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,719 Speaker 1: You got to find a way to keep putting pressure 669 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,240 Speaker 1: on a quarterback, especially this week. Like Isaiah said earlier, 670 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: this is pretty stout offensive line. They've redone the offensive 671 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: line in Cleveland, which is something that wasn't the case 672 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,959 Speaker 1: in previous years. Still susceptible in areas, but you're gonna 673 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: have to put pressure on Baker Mayfield and force him 674 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: to make mistakes because unlike Russell Wilson, Baker Mayfield will 675 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: make mistakes. And it's the second straight segment. I believe 676 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,319 Speaker 1: we've we've ended saying that is the case. But when 677 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 1: we come back, we're actually going to continue on with 678 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: fans on the fifty. I've got more questions that are 679 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: coming in that are fantastic, and I want to keep 680 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: asking about him, and some of them have to do 681 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,760 Speaker 1: with Jerry Jones. But I will answer that Connor McGovern 682 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 1: question coming up here in just a moment.

Rob Phillips, heck Ma Harrison 737 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 1: will be back with us in studio, hopefully sooner rather 738 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 1: than later. If you do what the safe stadium says everywhere, 739 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: you might end up doing that sooner rather than later. 740 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: But guys, we're going to continue on with fans on 741 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 1: the fifty and I tease this going into the second segment, 742 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 1: and there were a couple other questions that popped up 743 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,359 Speaker 1: and made me push this one down a little bit. 744 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: But Connor McGovern and we've talked about the issues with 745 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: the offensive line, most notably, at least for me, i've 746 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: been disappointed in what Connor Williams has done in the 747 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: run blocking and in the pass blocking, he's been okay, 748 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: he's been serviceable. But in terms of run blocking, he's 749 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: been in the backfield, he's been in Dak Prescott and 750 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott's lap on time and time again from guys 751 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,919 Speaker 1: like l j. Collier and Puna Ford. But where's Connor 752 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 1: McGovern Ben? Is this an indictment on how really how 753 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 1: much of a gap there is between Connor Williams and 754 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,760 Speaker 1: Connor McGovern or Is it just Connor McGovern not getting 755 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,840 Speaker 1: the shot that he needs. I don't, I don't know. 756 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 1: I know Connor Williams is not getting or done though. 757 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,880 Speaker 1: Yeah he did not watch Talladega Nights and you know, 758 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 1: get or done is something that he needs to figure out. 759 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,399 Speaker 1: He's not shaking and baking. Yeah he's not shaking into 760 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 1: baking it by all, but he, you know, he's he's 761 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 1: getting disrespected, man. I mean, he's he looks like he 762 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: looks like a young kid out there, and he truly 763 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: looks like a young kid out there right now to 764 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:09,960 Speaker 1: actually kind of feel I feel a little bad for him. 765 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: I was actually hopeful that um, that that that you 766 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: know will be back this week and that he that 767 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: Looney we actually move over and beyond Age would come 768 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 1: up to center and Connor Williams will kind of, you know, 769 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: fall back and watch the game a little bit. It 770 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: seems like he needs a little bit more film study. Um, 771 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,359 Speaker 1: but I'm not sure. I'm not sure. What's going on there. 772 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 1: I do foresee there being a change at that left 773 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: guard position. We may see it sooner than later. Wow, Okay, Rob, 774 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: do you feel that same sentiment whenever Isaiah saying he's 775 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: out on Connor Williams moving forward? Well, I don't. I 776 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: don't know if we'll see a change real soon. I think, Um, 777 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: I hear what Isaiah's saying though, and they've got to 778 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 1: get more push up front, and um, you know some 779 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: of the same things we've talked about Connor the first 780 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,239 Speaker 1: couple of years of strength, and you know he's coming 781 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: off the injury, so I think you know that might 782 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: have something to do with it. Um. Yeah, Usually that 783 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: first year back it can be a challenge, and I 784 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 1: think they like him his long term prospects. I really 785 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 1: think they still feel that way. With McGovern. We just 786 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 1: don't know about him. You know, he didn't play it 787 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: all last year. He really didn't practice last year, and 788 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 1: I just wonder if if he's they feel like he's 789 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 1: just still got a ways to go in his development, 790 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,840 Speaker 1: maybe strength wise, to get where he needs to be 791 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: to be able to get you know, that's a huge 792 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: part of the guard position because it comes up on 793 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: you quick and if you're not if you're not ready 794 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,920 Speaker 1: at that in that part of it of your game, uh, 795 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 1: then it's going to take take a while. So that's 796 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: that's where I feel like it is. But I don't 797 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 1: know because we just really haven't seen him McGovern question mark. 798 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: It really worries me. Don't know a lot about what 799 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 1: he can do. Uh And even with Williams, and you 800 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 1: know that this this coaching staff, they spent a lot 801 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 1: of time looking at the film and if there's a 802 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 1: guy that's better, they're going to give him an opportunity. 803 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: I mean, you go over to what happened in the 804 00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:01,320 Speaker 1: second half when they they moved are all right guard 805 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: out to right tackle and still that you know, bringing 806 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 1: in Looney Beardish too. There was no McGovern in that. 807 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 1: So that just tells me that they don't have a 808 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,399 Speaker 1: whole lot of confidence in him. But for Connor Williams, man, 809 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 1: I always go back to something that I heard the 810 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 1: great Nate Newton talk about with Cornor Williams, that he's 811 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 1: been in the league long enough to develop and get 812 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 1: the strength that he needs to go ahead and take 813 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 1: the next step as an NFL left left guard. And 814 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 1: he has all of the ability. That's why he was 815 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 1: drafted where he was with just not seeing it. And 816 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 1: when he does flash that brilliance at left guards, it's 817 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: just a flash. It's not consistently and that's what we 818 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 1: have to see from him because I don't like Connor 819 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 1: Williams being the kind of the whipping boy for this 820 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: offensive line woes because it's not just him. It's not 821 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,800 Speaker 1: just him. Heck, but he is going to get Sheldon 822 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 1: Richardson this week. So true, Yeah, yeah, yeah, it don't 823 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 1: get it, don't It doesn't give me right. It's not 824 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 1: gonna be a situation where he's gonna come up against 825 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 1: a middle schooler. He's gonna get a dog every week. 826 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,399 Speaker 1: We got the week, So you're right, that's a good point. 827 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: I loved how you just go well so so okay, 828 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,799 Speaker 1: So Connor Williams, Connor recovering. There's still a little bit 829 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 1: of a battle there and we'll see how that progress 830 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 1: is moving forward. But in terms of something that I 831 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,840 Speaker 1: heard today that was encouraging, I want to kind of 832 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 1: end on a positive note. And this may not sound 833 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 1: positive at first, but I promise I'm going somewhere with this. 834 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,320 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones on the Fan today, the flagship station of 835 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Radio Network, said to Sean and r 836 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: J that whenever it comes to the gap between the 837 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs last night in turn, I mean, they 838 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: look fantastic, to say the least, against a very very 839 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 1: good Baltimore Ravens team on the road. And Patrick Mahomes 840 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,520 Speaker 1: is Patrick Mahomes for a reason. He's the five hundred 841 00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,360 Speaker 1: million dollars man for a reason. And we saw that 842 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 1: again last night. Jerry was asked, is there a gap? 843 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 1: Is there something that you can look for the Cowboys 844 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 1: to really improve upon, And instead of his normal answer 845 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 1: of coming in and saying now we like what we have, 846 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 1: he said, yes, there is a gap. That's very encouraging 847 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: to me as a Cowboys fan because you look at 848 00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 1: the seasons. And I know you've heard this before Isaiah 849 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 1: and Robin Heckman as well, but you look at the 850 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 1: season in quarters. You look at you look at him 851 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 1: in a quarter one, quarter two, quarter three, quarter four. 852 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 1: Right now, if you win this week, you've got a 853 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 1: chance to go two and two in your first quarter, 854 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 1: even as bad as you've looked, and you can turn around, 855 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,959 Speaker 1: you can easily have a three and one second quarter, 856 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,359 Speaker 1: and especially in the division that you're in, you're by 857 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 1: no means in a terrible spot. Even though you're one 858 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 1: and two. The percentages are there that say, hey, one 859 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 1: and two is not good, but neither is this division. 860 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,840 Speaker 1: And you've got an opportunity here to turn things around, 861 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,759 Speaker 1: and I think it really starts this week. Do you 862 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 1: agree in that sentiment? I do agree. I agree the 863 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,799 Speaker 1: fact that you know, the NFC East looks absolutely terrible 864 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:01,759 Speaker 1: right now, so it doesn't really matter how bad the 865 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 1: Cowboys look right now. They still have a great opportunity 866 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 1: and we're it's like you said, we're in the first quarter, 867 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 1: so we can't talk about playoffs right now now. But 868 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,879 Speaker 1: they're in a terrible division. Um. They have not looked 869 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 1: the way in which they could consistently right. Um. I 870 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 1: think the areas in which we're talking about need to 871 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,240 Speaker 1: be addressed. They have to be addressed because they affect 872 00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,279 Speaker 1: the ability. I mean, we very well could have been 873 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,200 Speaker 1: sitting here at three. Yeah, that could have really right. 874 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 1: The fact you also could have been two and one, 875 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:33,840 Speaker 1: could have been two on one, absolutely right, But you 876 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,560 Speaker 1: know you showed up so three close games in terms 877 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 1: of the gap that we were referred to that Jerry 878 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 1: Jones referred to. I think if Moses was to come 879 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,400 Speaker 1: out here with a staff in the Red Sea and 880 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: part that thing, that's how much of a gap there 881 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 1: is right now between the Chiefs efficiency of offense versus 882 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,400 Speaker 1: the Cowboys efficiency. We're not talking about just pure talent. 883 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 1: We're talking about is this team moving like a locomotive 884 00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,800 Speaker 1: right And the chief seemingly could be. They want to 885 00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,799 Speaker 1: defending champion and they look better than they were last year. 886 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 1: That's gonna happen. The Cowboys still a long way, but 887 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:06,759 Speaker 1: the Cowboys do have a long way to go, and 888 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 1: they're going to continue to get better as guys continue 889 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 1: to come back, As guys continue to come back from uh, 890 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 1: you know, from I R and their injuries. This team 891 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:16,879 Speaker 1: is going to get better. Yeah, And to your point, 892 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,239 Speaker 1: they have looked good in certain spurts and they will 893 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 1: continue to get better. And I am encouraged by one 894 00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 1: day when the roster is fully setting stone and all 895 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:26,680 Speaker 1: the guys are back, this is gonna be a heck 896 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,239 Speaker 1: of a team. But as of right now, we got 897 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 1: put together the pieces and make it happen. I wish 898 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,719 Speaker 1: I could high five you through the plexiglass, just straight 899 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:38,200 Speaker 1: through it. But the Moses reference, he just hit them. 900 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 1: Oh man, yeah, I didn't know. You know, one hund 901 00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 1: we'll be there, but right now we're not. Right now 902 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 1: we are not. Well that's a big, gapses heck of 903 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:05,359 Speaker 1: a gap. Brouh. Yeah. Yeah, you can't start talking rob 904 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:11,320 Speaker 1: takeover takeover please. While Oh man, I think I predicted 905 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,840 Speaker 1: kind of halfway that the Chiefs were gonna go undefeated 906 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:15,759 Speaker 1: this year. I'll just go with that now. I'm gonna 907 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go all in with that because 908 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,279 Speaker 1: the way the way offenses are going, and with Pat 909 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,359 Speaker 1: Mahomes there and the fact that they their whole team 910 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,800 Speaker 1: is back. I mean, they basically got everybody back that 911 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 1: that was really significant. The coaching staffs intact. That makes 912 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 1: a big difference this season in particular, and I'm not 913 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,440 Speaker 1: making excuses for the Cowboys. A lot of teams are 914 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,359 Speaker 1: dealing with new coaching STAPs, but I think that that's 915 00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,680 Speaker 1: a huge reason why it's it's the red seat right now. 916 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,360 Speaker 1: I Mean there's there's new players, there's new schemes, and 917 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 1: there's a lot of injuries for the Cowboys right now, 918 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,160 Speaker 1: and they're trying to figure it all out. I agree. 919 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,000 Speaker 1: I think especially with this division, there's an opportunity to 920 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,480 Speaker 1: continue to improve. Um, you're not gonna face I think 921 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:58,239 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield's a good quarterback, but you're you know, the 922 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,000 Speaker 1: first three quarterbacks you face all been to the super Bowl. 923 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:05,120 Speaker 1: That's that's definitely a challenge. Defensively, there's stuff. I think 924 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna get better, but they've got to be able 925 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 1: to stay somewhat healthy and get some guys back. Because 926 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,840 Speaker 1: they are compromising. I think it is affecting what they 927 00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 1: can do on the field. Yeah apart, Yeah, I am, no, 928 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,879 Speaker 1: I am guys that got me with that one man. Um, Yeah, 929 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,120 Speaker 1: miles apart. And when you talk about Kansas City and 930 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:27,919 Speaker 1: that offense, just the offensive play design, just the my god, 931 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,919 Speaker 1: the things that they do in the red zone, how 932 00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:35,960 Speaker 1: guys are continuously always open, uh, in those routes, the 933 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 1: spacing that they have. I mean, there's a lot to 934 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:43,000 Speaker 1: admire about what Kansas City does. And so yeah, that's 935 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,360 Speaker 1: there's a if you're looking at that from that aspect, 936 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 1: and you definitely admire everything that Kansas City is doing, 937 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,480 Speaker 1: and they don't have even as far as their defense. 938 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,320 Speaker 1: A lot of the guys that we have in comparison you, 939 00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 1: I mean, we had some of those linebackers on our 940 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,440 Speaker 1: team a couple of years ago, and look at what 941 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,759 Speaker 1: they're doing in Kansas City. I sure would like to 942 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,560 Speaker 1: have Damien Wilson back right about now. But man, this 943 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,719 Speaker 1: is uh, this is just one of those things. And 944 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,040 Speaker 1: you look at Kansas City. You're right, Rob, this is 945 00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:12,759 Speaker 1: a team that doesn't look like they can be beat 946 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:17,399 Speaker 1: by anybody. Yeah, they're They're fantastic, And even right now, 947 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,440 Speaker 1: whenever the gap is big, and it is, there's a 948 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 1: long way to go for the Cowboys team. If you 949 00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,960 Speaker 1: get healthy, that gap strength shrinks, I think significantly. Absolutely. 950 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,880 Speaker 1: I think it comes together quite a bit pretty easily 951 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,080 Speaker 1: over the next couple of personal wise, yes, it does. 952 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,520 Speaker 1: Personal wise. In terms of a coaching aspect, that's where 953 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,759 Speaker 1: I think everybody's talking about that where there's a huge 954 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 1: advantage because that staff has been together and those guys 955 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:43,960 Speaker 1: show up and they're just playing ball, just straight off 956 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:49,600 Speaker 1: of continuity, no learning curves. Yeah, that's a great point. 957 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,000 Speaker 1: That's a fantastic point because it's gonna like, no matter 958 00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:53,600 Speaker 1: how good of a program and how good of a 959 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,839 Speaker 1: staff you are. In terms of Mike McCarthy, you're still 960 00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,160 Speaker 1: behind the eight ball because of what this offseason was, 961 00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,680 Speaker 1: because what this whole season is going to be. But 962 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 1: right now, if you're Cowboys Nation, don't even press the 963 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 1: panic button. It's nowhere close to panic time. And I 964 00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,440 Speaker 1: know there's a lot of questions and there's frustration, but 965 00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,080 Speaker 1: let's not panic everybody. Let's calm down. I haven't even 966 00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,960 Speaker 1: ordered the panic button from Amazon yet. I haven't even pressed. 967 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,759 Speaker 1: Let's let's ship it to the address. Let's just let's 968 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,799 Speaker 1: just sit down.
