Just you know, I'm a bright ware. 55 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: I know, yeah, I know, and I always go cut 56 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: you off. Right's gonna hit the button for you. But Pete, 57 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: what's in the news, Pete, We're gonna start with you. 58 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: We want to know what's going on. There's been a 59 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: kicking competition. You need to tell us about who our 60 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: new kicker is gonna be. Man Lirium Hira lah who Oh. 61 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: I remember him twice twice, signed him at the end 62 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: of training camp, signed him for Week two right after 63 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: Greg's Airline missed two field goals and an extra point 64 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: against the Bucks, and then zir Line righted things and 65 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: then they release Hira lah Who. And now we'll see 66 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: what happens with Greg's Airline. I think based on history 67 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: here this season, with guys that have dealt with COVID, 68 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: it's highly unlikely that he'll play. And they've got Hira 69 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: lah Who on the practice squad. Like you said, he 70 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: after a competition with one Brett Maher Cowboys former kickers 71 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: for a year and a half. So my question is 72 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: Haullahu has no NFL experience and he was he beat 73 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: out Maher, who has plenty of NFL experience. How did that? 74 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: I mean, was it even closer? What did Mahur do 75 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: or not do? I heard both guys kicked, well, they 76 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: kicked through their goal polls. They did over the mountains, 77 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: over the mountains. But you know, I think there's more 78 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: history lately with the new special teams coordinator John Fossil 79 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: than there was in eighteen nineteen when Maher was here, 80 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: and mahar made some kicks for this team, had a 81 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: game winner against one team called the Atlanta Falcons years ago, 82 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: but obviously his time here did not end well. And 83 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: look when they signed Maher in twenty eighteen, it was 84 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: kind of a similar situation. CFL guy played a lot 85 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: of football, just not in the NFL, and that's kind 86 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: of high lah whose stories too, So obviously they have 87 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: confidence in him to have signed him now for a 88 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: third time, and I think the odds are pretty good 89 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: that he'll be activated this weekend. But it sucks. It 90 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: sucks simply because of the fact that now you know, 91 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: it's not like any other position where you can just say, hey, 92 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: somebody else, just come in. This guy would be out 93 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: this week possibly now because it's your kicker, somebody most 94 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: likely is gonna have to be let go. Yes, that's 95 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: the Secky situation about this. Somebody on your roster is 96 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: going to have to get let go. So now you're 97 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: going down and saying I'm wrong. Now you do a 98 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: straight elevation this time you can just practice squad so 99 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: I keep forgetting the rules change. So it's it's a 100 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: great rule. I mean, especially with COVID. I mean, this 101 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: is a this is that situation where a guy is 102 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: most likely going on to COVID, he is on COVID 103 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: reserve zeroline, and you can just elevates the only positive 104 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: thing to come out of COVID. Yea, Because in the 105 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: past you would have to let one of your fifty 106 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: three go or now fifty five whatever it is, okay, 107 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: and let one of your guys go and hope that 108 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: he clears waivers and that you can get him back. Yeah, 109 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: but now you don't have to. Yeah, it's a good rule. 110 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: Now he's also going to be handling kickoff duties as well. Yeah, Now, 111 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: Howard la who is going to have to boot that 112 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: thing out of the end zone this week? Well let's see, 113 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: Well he can't shank on one and get it to 114 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: call Darrel Patterson that we know is known to take 115 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: it to the house because he don't play take it 116 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: to the house. Would you would you rather kick it 117 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: out of bounds or kick it to huh kind of 118 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: angle it? Yeah, I mean you're gonna try to stop 119 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: him down in the corner. That's the hardest thing for 120 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: a kick returner. Yeah, I know one um hardest thing 121 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: is coming out of the corner on a Kioff return. 122 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: But if if he had to mess up, would you 123 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: rather him kick it inside, you know, before the goal line, right, 124 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: keep it in play or kick it out of bounds? 125 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: I mean Patterson will he will take it out four 126 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: yards deep. That's yes, I mean he don't it don't 127 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: really doesn't matter, That's what I'm saying. Kick that thing 128 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: to the to the chili to standing up on the 129 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: little thing. If you had to pick though, if you 130 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: if you didn't know, I'm gonna angle it. I'm gonna 131 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: angle it, you know, try and get an angle on 132 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: him and hopefully pin him down. I mean that's I mean, 133 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: he's a he's a dangerous guy. And you know if 134 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: you you go to sleep on one of those kickoff 135 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: returns kickoff return team, that he will take it to 136 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: the house on you. Any other news injury news, practice news, 137 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: anything coming out from yesterday. There were six guys who 138 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: did not practice yesterday, most notably Tyrant Smith with the 139 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: ankle and I'm blanking on a Cedric Wilson with a 140 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: shoulder injury. Did not practice, so we'll see what happens. 141 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: They're gonna be in pads. This is the day where 142 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: you really kind of gauge where guys are at. Michael 143 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: Gallup's going to be activated. I'm pretty confident of that 144 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: this week and h and then you had a couple 145 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: of guys who were sick non COVID Corey Clement, I'm 146 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: blanking on CJ. Goodwin, and as a precaution, it's not 147 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: close contact. Otherwise they'd be on reserve COVID, but just 148 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: out of out of precaution with Greg's urline on reserve COVID. 149 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: They held out Brian Anger and Jake McQuaid yesterday long 150 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: snapper and punter. And what's the mindset owned that and 151 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: holding these If there was no close contact, why was 152 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: it just an a total abundance of caution by the 153 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: medical staff and the training staff. That's what I was told, 154 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: Because it's just being just being careful, because I mean, 155 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: you know, when Mike McCarthy spoke to this yesterday, not 156 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: that specifically, but when a guy tests positive, you know 157 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: you're just going to be cautious test everybody, and you 158 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: kind of, I mean, you kind of hold your breath 159 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: for a couple of days. Make sure you know nobody 160 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: else lands on the list. I want to take out 161 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: all of your specialty guys. That would be a nightmare 162 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: heading into this game. But guys, let's get on get 163 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: this on the road. Man. We know that Thursdays are 164 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: always for offense, Cowboys offense versus the defense. And last 165 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: week our offense had a stinker of a game, and 166 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: you talk about it. As far as the numbers are 167 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: concerned with, Dak hadn't seen numbers that low since his 168 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: rookie season QBR completions. However, he still was able to 169 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: throw two touchdowns and right now he's still in a streak. 170 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: I think it's five games so far that he has 171 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: double multiple touchdowns, So he's on a bit of a streak. 172 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: People call that empty calories. But Pee, I'll start with you. 173 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: How do you get back in the rhythm because obviously 174 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: he wasn't last week. I think it starts. I think 175 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 1: it starts with him because I think he is such 176 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: a motivated guy. It wouldn't shock he got a question 177 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: about it in the post game. It wouldn't shock me 178 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: at all. He's heard about this blueprint stuff and I 179 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: know we're gonna get into that later. I just think 180 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: he's such a self motivated guy and he didn't want 181 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: to blame his performance on the calf and all that. 182 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: But you can't convince me that Russ did not factor 183 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: in a little bit into that that performance, along with 184 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: what Denver did, give him credit. Man, they had a 185 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: great game plan, Vic Fangio told us all about it, 186 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: you know, and and they executed it well. But I 187 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: just think his own his own internal clock, like he's 188 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: he's gonna come out ready. I don't think we're gonna 189 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: see a repeat of this. Isaiah Monday, when you came in. 190 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: The one thing that that was that I noted, you 191 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: said was Dak played hurt and you could tell on 192 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: some of his throws. Do you still after watching the tape, 193 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: do you still believe that? Do you believe that it 194 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: was Russ? Uh? Like he said, yeah, I'm not sure 195 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: if he if he played hurt, I just think that mentally, 196 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: I'm meant to mechanically he was. He was not sound, 197 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: and I don't know if that's because of the calf. 198 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's because of the rust. But 199 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: either whatever the result where whatever the reason, was. He 200 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: did not come prepared to play physically, And you know, 201 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: I think a lot of that is just him being 202 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: intentional about, you know, thinking about the things that as 203 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: a quarter as a veteran quarterback, you don't have to 204 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: normally think about my drop, how I set on my 205 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: back leg, how I transfer my weight, all those things 206 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: that just come naturally because you had a gazillion reps 207 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: at him. Now when you have been out for a 208 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: little bit, now that if you actually had a you know, 209 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: care for a calf that affects your throwing emotion, Now 210 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: those things have to become prominent again in you and 211 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: your thinking. All right, now you have to go back 212 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: through those steps, drop, sit on the back leg, drop 213 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: your hips, transfer the weight, all those things, get my 214 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: elbow up. All those kind of things have to come 215 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: back into the fold until you get back on the 216 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: bandwagon again. And I just think that he probably just 217 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: thought he could just go back out there and just 218 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: go back to throwing again with life bullets coming at you. 219 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: And we saw the result of that. He was inaccurate, 220 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: balls were bad, velocity wasn't there. It just it just 221 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: wasn't a good showing. And on the same on the 222 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 1: same thing in terms of when receivers are trying to 223 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: catch the ball, no excuse wants the ball touch your hands. 224 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: We know the rule. But when when that velocity is off, 225 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: When that velocity is off, it's a little bit when 226 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: the when the ball location is not where you expected 227 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: to be. Because of how your relationship is that you 228 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: have with your quarterback, those things affect you as well, 229 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: even though they hit your hands, even though it hit 230 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: you in the chest, if the ball's coming out a 231 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 1: little bit hotter, guess what your timing's off. All that 232 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: stuff is as proprioception. All that stuff is depth, perception. 233 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: All those things play a factor into the past and 234 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: the reception of making completions. It's a great breakdown from 235 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: a former quarterback. I mean, well, how do you come 236 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: behind that? But look true? But absolutely And the one 237 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: thing that I want to point out was the timing. 238 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: You talk about the timing. That's what I thought more 239 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: than anything, that the timing was off. The first time 240 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: that I seen dak hesitate on the throw, not that 241 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: it wasn't there, it just seemed like he was second 242 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 1: guessing himself. Did you see the same thing? Yeah? I did. 243 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: I did, And I think you saw saw that affect 244 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: his delivery as well. And again, these are all things 245 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: that he can shure up. That's all stuff that he'll 246 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 1: go back and watch the film. They can say blueprint, 247 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: they can say, you know, the d coordinator did a 248 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: great job. He missed opportunities, and there was nothing that 249 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: if he would have hit on those opportunities, you know 250 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: that defensive coordinate wouldn't seen up here talking about how 251 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: about how great of a job he did. The reality 252 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: is we threw the ball bad. We dropped a lot 253 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: of balls, and we missed touchdown throws. That's the facts. 254 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: And you do have to give a little bit of 255 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: credit to Denver, maybe more than a little bit, just 256 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: because of the way they play. I meant there were 257 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 1: there were opportunities, like Isaiah said, but for a lot 258 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: of that game, that was some tight man covers that 259 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: they're in and guys weren't running as free as we've 260 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: seen in other games where it's that whole pick your 261 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: poison thing and maybe you know, teams playing more zone 262 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: and trying not to give up the big play and 263 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: Dalton Shultz is killing you underneath. There weren't any of 264 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: that in this game. Yeah, so talking about pick you poison, 265 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: and we get a little bit of our poison back 266 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: this week. Talk about a guy that's been dealing with 267 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: a calf injury, Michael Gallop. Michael Gallop is back on 268 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: the field, and I always, you know, I hesitate because 269 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: Cechil Wilson plays so well in his absence. You know, 270 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: what do you think the effect of having Michael Gallop 271 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: back in this offense is going to be for the 272 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: Cowboys this week? Jerry said it on Tuesday. Deep threat. 273 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: He's he's probably their best deep threat on the team. 274 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: And I'm kind of reminded of one of his other 275 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: good skills in this last game where there was a 276 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: lot of contested balls. He's a great guy just to 277 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: go up and get it. I mean, he's a great 278 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: contested ball catcher. So I think those two things stand out. 279 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: And you know, Ceedee Lamb talked about yesterday. He's like, 280 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: if if y'all don't know how good he is, you're 281 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: all about to see And I think fans know, but 282 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: it's been it's been a while since he's been out there, 283 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: so he is a difference maker on his offense. And 284 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: I have been I know I've been missing him, and 285 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 1: I know that the Dallas Cowboys have been missing him 286 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: as well. He's he takes a lot of pressure off 287 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: of Coop. Coop's really good. He's really good. We know 288 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: that he's one of the best in the league. And 289 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 1: he's a dog. He plays through injury, he plays through 290 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: all that stuff. He has a heart of a lion. 291 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: But he needs it. He needs his comrade, he needs 292 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: his buddy, he needs he needs his parting his right hip. 293 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: And that's what Gallup is as well as Wilson's been playing, 294 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: as well as Noah Brown has been playing. These guys 295 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: have done their job in terms of fulfilling their roles 296 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: and by stepping up the next man up. They've done 297 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: a great job of that and that's why they're on 298 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: this roster. However, they're not Gallup. And Gallup provides you 299 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 1: not only your deep threat, okay, but he takes Guess 300 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: what happens when he's running down the field. That safety 301 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: can't sit there and key on Coop. Now that safety 302 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: can't sit up there and have his eyes back there 303 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: on Sholts in terms of what he's doing. I gotta 304 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: get out of there, right, I gotta get gone because 305 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: I have to respect this dude. Not only can't he run, 306 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: he can catch. His one thing just to have a 307 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: fast gout on your team. There's a bunch plenty of 308 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: specialists that can run fast, right, This duke can run, 309 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: he can catch, he can catch the short route, he 310 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: can create separation. He's shifty. He's a heck of a 311 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: number two. I mean, we talked about it coming into 312 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: the season. Is he a one B? Right? He's not Coop, right, 313 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: but we talked about his abilities and hey, do we 314 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: are we gonna be able to retain him going into 315 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: next year? All those conversations were taking place, and then ah, 316 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: he got injured. What have you seen from the wide 317 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: receiver group in his absence that you can continue to 318 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: build on. I mean, obviously with a guy going out 319 00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: and you talk about his ability to take the top 320 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: off a defense, but also you saw Coop running those 321 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: deep routes. You also saw CD running those deep routes. 322 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: Are those things that you want to continue to keep 323 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: in your offense because obviously you saw a guy step 324 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: up in his absence. I think more than anything you 325 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: show you know there, I don't think there's anything that 326 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: was proven to our coach and staff that these players 327 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: show them. These guys know what these guys are all 328 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: capable of, all the way from Noah Brown all the 329 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: way up to Coop Right, you know what these dudes 330 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: are capable of. The only person we don't know still 331 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: a semi right and he's still around. But in terms 332 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: of of of Gallup, you know, he he What he's 333 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: gonna be able to bring is the ability to do 334 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: everything and take all those things off those guys played. 335 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: When those guys step on the field, now, the opposing teams, 336 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: the defensive coordinators know exactly that everybody out there is 337 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: a thread. When before you uhould just look at and say, hey, 338 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: I know Coop's a thread, I know Gallup's a threat, 339 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: and Cedric we know he'll come in and do this. Oh, 340 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: when Noah brands in the game, he's blocking. Not the 341 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: case anymore. Now, when those guys step on the field, 342 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator has to say, we gotta respect all 343 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: these guys because they've shown it. Yeah, that's gonna be 344 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: interesting to see because you know, with Vic Vangio last 345 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: week kind of pounding his chest about being able to 346 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: stay in man, I wonder, I wonder will Atlanta. Take 347 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: the same approach coming into this game knowing that we've 348 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: got a few of our weapons back this weekend. Look, 349 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: there's gonna be some mismatches on that front line, and 350 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about it coming back after the break. 351 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: But guys, we got a lot to talk about because 352 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: we have may have some mismatches in this game coming 353 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: up next back here on Talking Cowboys.

You got something fun 395 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: me Come on, man back on talking Cowboys and we're 396 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: breaking down the Dallas offense versus the Atlanta Hawks defense. 397 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: Did I say hawks? I said hawks with my whole chest. 398 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: I meant falcons. It's a bird. It's a bird to hawks, 399 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: Falcon's pigeons. That's a Falcon's defense. Yeah. I wouldn't gonna 400 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: get out of this era free. But when you, I'm 401 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: sure you've already had an opportunity to dissect the tape 402 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: on the game that previously and just some of the 403 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 1: mismatches coming up versus our offense. What did you see 404 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: that Atlanta has or what threat do they pose to 405 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: our offense. Be honest with you. I feel better. I mean, 406 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: that's a bad comparison, Jesus, I feel better about this 407 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: defense and I did about Denver's defense. Uh, personnel wise, 408 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: I know asked that's a bad comparison. I know, cb um, 409 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: but I'm not These guys don't present a problem personnel wise. 410 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: Now what they do as a scheme against us, we 411 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: don't know, Um, person nail wise, we should handle these 412 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: guys um relatively well. I'll say that they do have 413 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: They still have Jared on you know, on a d line. Um, 414 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: He's he's a guy that you definitely have to respect. 415 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: Dion Jones somebody that you have to respect. Um aj Terrell. 416 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: He's he's been actually pretty dug on good in terms 417 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: of defending um and not allowing guys to really get 418 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: completions against him. But we got our We can have 419 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: our freaking guys back on the outside. I mean we 420 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: everybody's back except for a tiring right herhole offense is there, 421 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: So see about tiring this week, didn't practice yesterday. You know, 422 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: I think they're preparing to be without him. Maybe he 423 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: can get back in the next week or two. If not, 424 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, if not this week. You are not here. 425 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: When I said versus the Atlanta Hawks defense, I didn't 426 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: say Falcons Wow, well Trey young player, but just talking 427 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: about the maybe the mismatches and one of the ones 428 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: that I see Grady Jared's six foot, three hundred and 429 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: fifteen pounds and as Kyle always says, that the trash 430 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: can full of dirt. Uh, he's a guy that you're 431 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: probably gonna see in the middle of your of your 432 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: of your your the defense there in the a gap. 433 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: What thread do you think he's gonna pose against Connor Williams. 434 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: And obviously Tyler Beatis he's a problem, he's a problem. 435 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: I mean Isaiah mentioned Jarrett and Dion Jones is a 436 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 1: good linebacker and a j Terrell is He's done a 437 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: great job in coverage, and so I think those three 438 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: guys you have to key on. And like you said, 439 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: I mean, they've they've run into some guys in the 440 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: interior this season that have been a problem for their 441 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: their young guys in the middle on the offensive line. 442 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: So I think that's something to watch. But they've had 443 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: problems stopping the run and they've had problems generating pressure 444 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: this season. So I'm with Isaiah. I don't think personnel wise, 445 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,959 Speaker 1: this is on paper as tough tough of a matchup 446 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: as Denver was. And I don't you know, maybe we 447 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: didn't given Denver enough credit for what they can do, 448 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,479 Speaker 1: even schematically, even without von Miller last week. They're they're 449 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: a good defense and the Falcons have had a little 450 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: bit of problems there. And I think on the flip 451 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: side too, if the Cowboys defense can stop the run 452 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: better than they did last week, that will help too. 453 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 1: You know, Atlanta is not a team that runs it 454 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: a lot. They don't run it with a lot of success, 455 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: and that was a big problem for the Cowboys offense 456 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: because they didn't get on the field that much on 457 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: top of the fact that they weren't able to save 458 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: their own drives. So I think it kind of all 459 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: this team is very complimentary. They need all two three 460 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: phases to work to be successful, and they didn't get 461 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: that complimentary game last Sunday. Now, Deon Jones, the linebacker. 462 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: Dean Jones is from LSUE. I think is a fifth 463 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: year veteran, is someone that I'll when just keen watching 464 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: his game. I think his matchup with Ezekiel Elliott is 465 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: going to be key. You talk about where they are 466 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: as far as their run defense, I think he's gonna 467 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: be a guy that's gonna be key, and on him specifically, 468 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 1: just talk about him at the linebacker their linebacker play 469 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: versus our running game. Yeah, I mean, hopefully our offensive 470 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: line works up to the second level and we don't 471 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: have to worry about these guys running free. That's the 472 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: thing about linebackers. If their defensive line is playing really well, 473 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: then then linebackers are usually going to have a relatively 474 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: good game against us. So I don't even though he's 475 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,199 Speaker 1: a really good player, I foresee Kellen Moore having a 476 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: game plan that allows for us to get our running 477 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 1: game going so that we can take that pressure off 478 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: of Dax so he doesn't feel like he has to 479 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: throw the ball forty fifty times a game. And I 480 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: think our offensive line would do a great job of 481 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: working up to Dion Jordan really eliminating him out the game. Now, 482 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: it's interesting that you bring that up as Kellen Moore 483 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: in the game plan because going into this game or 484 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: even last week, you saw how they were crowding the 485 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, and I think that's so disrespectful for 486 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: a NFL quarterback on Dax level right now to see 487 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: those eight nine man boxes. But we saw it and 488 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: the Cowboys were the ones being disrespectful in this game. 489 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: You know, it's just the Cowboys, I agree. I'm with you, 490 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: though I think it's I think it goes both ways, 491 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: but it does. And so you know, if again, if 492 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: they Pete dan Pas, I believe is the defensive coordinator 493 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: for the Falcons, obviously a guy that's been in the 494 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 1: league and called multiple looks. Would would you anticipate he 495 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: has the same look versus the Cowboys this week and 496 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: dare dak to beat him with his own I think so. 497 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: I think so. On the reason why, it's because aj Terrell, 498 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: and I think the fact that he's playing so well 499 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: for them enables them to have maybe even a false 500 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: sense of confidence. But I think that they'll probably try. 501 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: You know, I think this would be the game or say, hey, 502 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: Okay Terrell, you're bawling out, show us that you can 503 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: be a number one, you know, cornerback and take out Coop. 504 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you look at his stats passes against him 505 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,719 Speaker 1: for his first game, three receptions thirty yards against them. 506 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: Second second game, zero receptions against him. Fourth game, you know, 507 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: third game, one reception for two yards, next game, two 508 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: receptions ten yards, next game, three receptions fourteen yards, and 509 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: it just continues to get better. So he's bawling out 510 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: this year at that position. I think that he might 511 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: give their decordinator a false sense of hope. False sense 512 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: of hope is gonna be if they come in with 513 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: that false sense of hope. Yeah, you guys, do you 514 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 1: guys buy into the copycat league thing? I mean, do 515 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: you think they'll try it? Try to try it in 516 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: certain spots. I mean, not completely change. They're not gonna 517 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: go all out on it, but they'll definitely sprinkle it 518 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: in there to see what is what we saw on film? Real, Yeah, 519 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: let's let's let's see. Okay, you're not they fixed that, Okay, 520 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,959 Speaker 1: let's move on. Or oh oh this is something. Okay, 521 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: here we go everybody over here here, you know what 522 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: they calling the boys, So I mean they will Every 523 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: team is going to try if you show a weakness. 524 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no different in boxing, right, you know, 525 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 1: in boxing, you though you see somebody's weak, they can't 526 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: defend the jab. What are you gonna do? Jab them 527 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna jab them. Okay, Yeah, his defense is whack, right, 528 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: So it's the same thing you find it you find 529 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: a gap in your a little hole in their in 530 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: their defense or offense, then you're gonna come after him. 531 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: That's where I think the past protection has to get better. 532 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: I mean, whether if it's Terrence Steel left tackle again, 533 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: which if it's no Tyrant Smith, I'd be kind of 534 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: surprised if they went away from that, just because Mike McCarthy, 535 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: even if it's short term continuity, he likes having continuity 536 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: on the offensive line. So we'll see what they do there. 537 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: But that was the that was the X factor in 538 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: Vic Fangio being able to do what he wanted to do. 539 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: They got pressure with four guys, they didn't have to blitz, 540 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: and Bucky Brooks explained it well on Dallas Cowboys dot 541 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: Com and his column that you know it also lets 542 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 1: you have an extra guy in the box against the run. 543 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: But that was the key to them being able to 544 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: do that Clog and Cuver stuff is because they didn't 545 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: have to have to blitz, and so does the Falcons 546 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: personnel wise, are they able to do that the way 547 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: Denver could do that to play that type of defense, 548 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: that's the question, and I think the Cowboys will probably 549 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: be better prepared in terms of doing what they have 550 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: to do to protect Dac in this game. That was 551 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: a big problem on Sunday. Now, how important is it 552 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: for our offense to come out clicking on all cylinders, 553 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: because over the last couple of weeks, obviously last week, 554 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: the offense is kind of sputtered. I mean, we hadn't 555 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 1: had I think from the first of the initial drive scores. 556 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 1: It's been a couple of games since we've been able 557 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 1: to do that, and you've just seen us struggle obviously 558 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: against the Vikings with Cooper Rush last week. How important 559 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: is it for this offense to come out firing big time? 560 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: I think they got to get the run game going 561 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: more than they did. They only had had fourteen carries 562 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: between Zeke and Pollard in the entire game, and they 563 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: got sixty two yards. They ran it okay, um and 564 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: Zeke was banged up in that game, he says he 565 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: feels better this week. I think they got to get 566 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: that balance back. That's a big part of it, Um, 567 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, we'll see, we'll see. Yeah. I mean, I 568 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: think it's very important and I think they will. I 569 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: think they will again. Last last week was a mental 570 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: letdown which led to a physical meltdown, and I think 571 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: that they want allowed that this week. I'm sure they're 572 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: having more walk throughs and Jason Garrett's offseason right now, 573 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: that's a lot. That's a lot trying to make sure 574 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: they would yeah, I would know, trying to make sure 575 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: that they're dialed in. And I think they'll be more 576 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: amp for this game than maybe even they were for 577 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers game, just because they have so much to 578 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: try to disprove. You guys think they're going to lose 579 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: their aggressiveness on fourth down? You think that changed the 580 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: mentality changes for Mike and Kellen? No, no, no, And 581 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: I think hindsight is twenty twenty. You know, you can 582 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 1: go back to, you know, not being able to convert 583 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: on fourth downs and criticize coach Mike McCarthy. But obviously, 584 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: if he's fifty percent there, I think you'll please because 585 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: he's con tinuein drives and maybe we get points out 586 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 1: of him. That makes the difference in the momentum of 587 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: the game. So and I just don't think he'll even 588 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: in spite of all of the naysayers that say, do 589 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: not do that again, or put points on the board 590 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: or play in old school conventional style. That's just not 591 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: what Mike is willing to do. And I think his 592 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: risk taking maybe you know, what leads him to a 593 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: super Bowl. I mean, that's just that's just my thinking. 594 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 1: But as far as the matchups are concerned and looking 595 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 1: at this in J. Terrell and you talk about where 596 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: they may have a false sense with him, I think 597 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: on the other side with Fabian Moreau, that's where you 598 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: may have a lot more opportunities. Not that I don't 599 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: think AJ Terrell is that shut down Reeves Island kind 600 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: of cornerback, but I think on the other side, that's 601 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: where you're more favorable favorable. Do you agree with that? Yeah, 602 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: I think so. I mean I think he's the lesser 603 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: of the two. Um. You know, obviously a J. Terrell 604 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: with a PFF I don't look get them too often. 605 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: But he has an eighty one eighty one point five 606 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: percent grade. That's good. That's good. So they're talking about 607 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: a lot about how he's not being targeted. But you know, 608 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: if I'm coming where I'm going at everybody, and I 609 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: think my personnel. I think. I think if I'm walking 610 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 1: into this game, my personnel is better than yours. And 611 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you why, especially when you have Gallop back. 612 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: So I mean, yeah, that guy's better, He's he's aged. 613 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: Terrell's better then Fabian. But in this game, I'm coming 614 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: at you. I'm coming at you, and I'm hitting in 615 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: your mouth and I'm hitting and I'm not gonna continue 616 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: to hit you in your mouth. And I'm taking a 617 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick approach. If you don't want me to score, 618 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: stop me. Yeah. If they're gonna borrow from the Broncos 619 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: game plan and play that match man stuff, you got 620 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: to be able to cover all over the field. You 621 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: can't just have one corner who's shutting things down on 622 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: one side. The Cowboys still have too many weapons. Even 623 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: if Cedric Wilson doesn't play in this game, like we said, 624 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup's going to be back. So, uh, you know 625 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: that that game plan only works if you're able to 626 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: cover the entire field the way they need to. And 627 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: how much of that uh? And just going back to 628 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: Vic Vangio's scheme versus the receivers and reading Bucky's article 629 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: about how they didn't allow those pick plays to happen 630 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: in the open field and guys were just passing off 631 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: the receivers. Do you believe that they have they can 632 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: use that game playing effectively versus the Cowboys? No, because 633 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: I mean the same way that that we're all sitting 634 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: here talking about how Denver, I mean not Denver, but 635 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: Atlanta is going to try to copy what Denver did. 636 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: What do you think Killamore is doing? Right? So, I 637 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,959 Speaker 1: mean switching it up, Yeah, switching it up. I mean 638 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: you're still gonna sprinkle those things in there. But every play, everyone, 639 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: I want to say, every pass play. Majority of the 640 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: past plays that are called in this league have multiple 641 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: coverage beaters, multiple coverage beaters. You're not just calling it 642 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: simply because you're expecting you cover one. Yeah, the majority 643 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: of the routes might be scheme towards Cover one, but 644 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: they're still gonna be something else out there just because 645 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: we face Cover four or Cover two. Right, So understand 646 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: that even though those guys might have those things dialed 647 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: up in terms of passing off coverages, guess what, instead 648 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: of running my guys all the way across the formation, 649 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: now I'm just gonna sit it down in the hole right, 650 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: So I might not get to play out the backside, 651 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: but guess what you know at the back shoot, But 652 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: now my guys are gonna sit down in those gaps. 653 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: If you're passing things off, then there's gaps in there 654 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: in your defense. And instead of those guys continue to 655 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: run the routes across the formation, I'm gonna tell those 656 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: guys as soon as you find that zone, sit down bone, 657 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: get the ball on the shoulder, and again the ball 658 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: locations everything. If I put it on your left shoulder, 659 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: that means turn left. If I put it in the middle, 660 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: that means you got guys on both sides of you. 661 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: There's a lot of those non verbal communication things that 662 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,959 Speaker 1: go on, and you're allowed to steal. Go out there 663 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: and get these jack yards and get those guys out 664 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: of those zone coverages, which then put them back and 665 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: what man man. Yeah, So you know whether the thing 666 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: about last week's game was Dad couldn't find those holes 667 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: in covers because he had guys on his back like 668 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: a backpack.

What was it? 715 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: It was the same. It was just me reading it. 716 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: Did you like the flick? I like, well, the mic 717 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: bump was textbook right there, freaking aim. Yeah, I mean 718 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: versatility that I didn't see it. I don't go back. 719 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: You know, I'm watching this, I'm having it. I was 720 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 1: explained yesterday to me that I need to put a 721 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: little bit more into restricted with this word here he 722 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: messed up like it's prince. It's like a prince, Mike, 723 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 1: you know, like you know it came back right. Yeah, 724 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: you weren't ready to put a boomerang. He was ready. 725 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 1: He was not ready. So, guys, I want to talk 726 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: about tern Still, no turns. I want to talk about turns, 727 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: all right, Terren Still last week's show that or he 728 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: said basically that it was a little bit harder than 729 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 1: he anticipated moving out from right side to the left side. Yeah, no, duh. 730 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 1: And so how do you how do you think that 731 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: this week as far as the approach from coach Philbin 732 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: and Kellen Moore, as far as you know, helping him 733 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: on that side, and by doing that, will they compromise 734 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: their play calling? It's a great question. I was looking 735 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: up the snaps from the Broncos game and the backup 736 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: tight ends Sean mcun in his season debut and Jeremy 737 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 1: Sprinkle combined for like fifteen snaps. So they didn't do 738 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: a lot of twelve personnel in that game. Maybe they 739 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: do more. You know, they were doing more while Gallup 740 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: was out and while Blake Jarwin was healthy. Maybe an 741 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,839 Speaker 1: extra tight in there. Maybe it's more of a Zeke 742 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: role where he's got to help and pass protection and ship. 743 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: But maybe they got to help him a little bit 744 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 1: more in this game, assuming he's starting at one tackle 745 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: side against the team they're playing, the Falcons. Now you 746 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,760 Speaker 1: are about to say Hawks too, What say you, Asaiah? 747 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 1: I didn't give him opportuned to prove me wrong. Your 748 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: my opportunity to prove me wrong. Just put him on 749 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 1: an island. Put him on the island, put him on 750 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: a yeah, yeah, right pe island. Put him out there. 751 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: I mean it was technique, right, it was technique, and yeah, 752 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: it was harder than you expected it to be, and yes, 753 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: the technique is different. Nate Newton has talked about this extensively. 754 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,359 Speaker 1: You could see him wanting to shoot his right hand 755 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: but having to shoot his left hand and it just 756 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: not working for him. I mean it takes one swipe. 757 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 1: Imagine you're setting to your left side, you're kicking off 758 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: your right leg, setting on your left leg, and you 759 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: want to strike what you're right. Yeah, you want to 760 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: strike what you're right because then you can force him 761 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 1: out and you can replace what your left. But he 762 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: was shooting with his left, which is naturally your first 763 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: hand on the other side, and all it takes is 764 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 1: one guy to do what hit that wrist? It hit 765 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: that left wrist, and all of a sudden, your shoulder 766 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: turns and now they have the edge. So just mechanically, 767 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,879 Speaker 1: he was off because it was natural. It had became 768 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: natural for him on that side. So now I can't 769 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: I almost guarantee you coach film is wearing is but 770 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: out this week, including today with all pass and he's 771 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: gonna just drill the crap out of that and just 772 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: reinstilling him. Hey, shoot this hand, shoot his hand, and 773 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: just again go back to the foundation on the mechanics 774 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: and make sure that he's doing things the right way. 775 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,319 Speaker 1: I don't think that his feet were in a bad place. 776 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: I think his hands were in a bad place in 777 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,280 Speaker 1: his most recent game. That's a problem on the left side. 778 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: Absolutely it is. And were you Somebody told me it's 779 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: like it's like driving in Europe or something where you 780 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 1: drive on the left hand side of the road and 781 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: it's just I mean, it's just it's muscle memory that 782 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 1: that's with your feet in your hands. Yeah, but for him, 783 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 1: and you go through the roster for the Falcons and 784 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 1: Dante Fowler Junior is on injured reserve, and so when 785 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:40,800 Speaker 1: you look at their other guys in Ogandig is probably 786 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,799 Speaker 1: I would say the best pass Russia if they if 787 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 1: they have one, do you work? I mean, last week 788 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 1: we weren't worried about their pass rushers, but hey, they 789 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:48,879 Speaker 1: came in, they got a couple of sacks. Is there 790 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: anything that you saw on film that says, hey, this 791 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 1: is something that we need to get here and steal 792 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 1: some help on No, No, there's nothing that I saw 793 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,359 Speaker 1: on film. I mean, these guys do get pressure. They 794 00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 1: do get pressure. Yeah, they do a good job with that. 795 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,919 Speaker 1: But again, I'm gonna trust him, and I'm gonna trust 796 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: our coaching staff. Coach Philmins is one of the league's best. 797 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,879 Speaker 1: We've seen that all through last year, that he does 798 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: a great job of getting guys prepared, and I don't 799 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,720 Speaker 1: see this as being any different. I have full confidence 800 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 1: that Steel is going to do a good job. Now 801 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,240 Speaker 1: if they start lighting, you know, obviously scheming that side 802 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: in terms of blitz, okay, then now you would support 803 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 1: him just like you would support anybody else on that side. 804 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 1: But in terms of hey do you, hey, do you 805 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 1: need help over there handling that one guy? Are you okay? No, 806 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,919 Speaker 1: take care of your business. Yeah. And I think people 807 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: want to harken back to twenty eighteen in Atlanta Chaz Green. 808 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 1: That was horrible. Well, they didn't. The Cowboys did not 809 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: adjust in that game. They did not say, hey, look 810 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: we gotta give Chad some help. And I think the 811 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 1: Cowboys will adjust if they have to in this game. 812 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: But I go back to the run game. You know, 813 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: sixteen carries, that's not enough balance to help out your tackles. 814 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 1: I mean, he was. He was in pass pro a 815 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,879 Speaker 1: lot and Denver knew it was coming. And I think 816 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: that's if you can catch them off balance a little 817 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 1: bit more. And they have not been great against the run. 818 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 1: In this game, I think it's a better matchup for 819 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 1: the Cowboys than it was last Sunday. Now, we hadn't 820 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: talked about Tyron Smith and where he is. I know 821 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,399 Speaker 1: he hadn't. He's been out there working just a little 822 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 1: bit with Brett Brown. Where is he? Do we have 823 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 1: a status update on Smith? Just that he was in 824 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: the rehab group on Wednesday. It was a non padded practice. 825 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: This is typically the padded day, and this is this 826 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 1: is a good indicator on where he is. I think, Um, again, 827 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly. You know, Jerry Jones provided some 828 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: insight on Tuesday that a lot of this is pain tolerance. 829 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,880 Speaker 1: How how much pain Canny handle. Tyren Smith is as 830 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: tough a dude as you'll ever meet in your entire life, 831 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: so we'll see. Um, he's got to have the ability too, 832 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,839 Speaker 1: He's got to be able to laterally move his feet 833 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,360 Speaker 1: and do all those things we just talked about with 834 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 1: Terren Steele. So I don't know. Again, I go back 835 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: to the fact that they got to play four games 836 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 1: in eighteen days, so that's a lot of football coming up. 837 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,759 Speaker 1: They don't I don't think they want to put him 838 00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: out there if he's not ready to uh plant and 839 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: do all tho he needs to do on his foot. Now, you, 840 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 1: being a former NFL player, if his pain tolerance is 841 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 1: where it is, where he can't play, where is that 842 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: on the scale of one to ten, You know, if 843 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 1: it's it's not just you know, the injury itself, it's 844 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 1: dealing with the pain of it. You played through a 845 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,359 Speaker 1: lot of pain in the NFL, guys are playing through 846 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 1: pain even though as fans fans are sitting back watching 847 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:23,799 Speaker 1: the game. Guys are going out there. They're playing hard 848 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,320 Speaker 1: and they're running around, they're hitting people and they're celebrating. Understanding, 849 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 1: guys are hurting every play. Guys are out there hurting. 850 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: You just would never know. And I mean I played 851 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 1: shoot two straight years or my shoulder popping in and 852 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,359 Speaker 1: out here when I was hearing Dallas, I was never 853 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,320 Speaker 1: one hundred percent and it sucked, you know, And obviously 854 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 1: he got me up out of here too. But you know, 855 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: you play, you play, you play with things and you 856 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: have to find ways, and there's always gonna be an 857 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 1: opportunity to say, no, I'm not playing this game. I 858 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: there's been very few guys that I've seen take themselves 859 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 1: out of games and take themselves out of opportunities to 860 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: play games. It's usually the trainers that say, hey, our 861 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,080 Speaker 1: trainers and doctors say you know you can't go with 862 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 1: you out. So I think that's going to be more 863 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,879 Speaker 1: so the decision going forward with Tying not. I don't 864 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 1: question his toughness, No, absolutely not. That's why I think 865 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 1: it's more than just the pain tolerance. It's also functionality. 866 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,359 Speaker 1: Can he do what he needs to do out there 867 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,720 Speaker 1: to protect Dak Prescott's blindside? You know, if he can't 868 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,879 Speaker 1: do it the way he needs to do it, then 869 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:18,880 Speaker 1: then they'll go another direction. And I give you an 870 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 1: example when when I was here playing them, I sublexed 871 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 1: my shoulder, which means my shoulder popped out of socket 872 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 1: and it popped back in on its own right. Dislocated 873 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 1: means and he's that's painful, very painful, And how to 874 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 1: go back to work? Right? How to go back to work? 875 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,920 Speaker 1: I couldn't lift my hands over my head. I mean 876 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,359 Speaker 1: I couldn't even literally could lift my hands over my head. 877 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,360 Speaker 1: So what they did they found pretty much a straight jacket, 878 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 1: and britt Brown and Jim and those guys did a 879 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,360 Speaker 1: great job of searching the internet and reaching out the 880 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: different companies to get get these all these different sleeves 881 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 1: and things like that they're supposed to help me, and 882 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,400 Speaker 1: some of them work, some of them didn't. Most of 883 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: them didn't. But they ended up going back to the 884 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 1: old school, like the old closet and grabbing the old 885 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: straight jacket and literally tying my shoulder down. And it 886 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 1: was like, okay, because if it gets beyond this is 887 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,439 Speaker 1: going to pop out. And if it pops out again, 888 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,479 Speaker 1: I pretty much have no good the rest of that game. 889 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,359 Speaker 1: But what percentage was my shoulder? You know what I mean? 890 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: But guess what, There's still things that I could do 891 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 1: that could help the team. So I'm out there and 892 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 1: I'm playing with it and it's painful, and no, I'm 893 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,399 Speaker 1: not anywhere near one hundred percent, but guess what, You're 894 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 1: still things I can do, even in the state, that 895 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,880 Speaker 1: can contribute to the team's victory. So that's what I 896 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,319 Speaker 1: was able to go out there and do. And it's 897 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 1: no different when any other guy that steps on that field. 898 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys out there that are nowhere 899 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 1: near one hundred percent that you would never know about. 900 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,359 Speaker 1: But they're just playing with the pain because that's what 901 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 1: you do as a professional athlete. Big difference between injured 902 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: and hurt, and everybody right now is hurt. I gotta 903 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: ask you man, talk about pain tolerance, Ezekiel Elliott. This 904 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 1: is a game that we need Zeke to be Zeke again. 905 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: I mean not only you talk about the pressure that 906 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,479 Speaker 1: Atlanta will get on your quarterback, and we've seen Zeke 907 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 1: in a lot of these situations be the filler for 908 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 1: the offensive line and picking up those rushes, but also 909 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: we're going to need him big time rushing and as 910 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 1: a receiver out of the backfield. How big is his 911 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 1: role once you dissected the tape, how big is this 912 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 1: role gonna have to be in this game? I mean, Zeke, 913 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 1: I'd brother Zeke. Whether it's Pollard, I don't know who 914 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,440 Speaker 1: else we can really throw out there, but we need 915 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,359 Speaker 1: our rushing game regardless of who it is. We need 916 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,920 Speaker 1: our rushing game to be successful. That's simply because of 917 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 1: the fact we can't put Dack in a position to 918 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 1: throwing fifty times a game, you know, And obviously I 919 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,800 Speaker 1: hope that Zeke's healthy enough to come in and contribute 920 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: in that in that regard, and I think that he 921 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,320 Speaker 1: needs that for his confidence as well. Continuing as this 922 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,120 Speaker 1: season continues to go on, as weather continues to get colder, 923 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 1: as we start facing more and more cold games leading 924 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,879 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, hopefully, you know those we need him, 925 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:36,759 Speaker 1: We need him, and we need his confidence level up here. 926 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 1: We don't need him thinking about all the what ifs 927 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,359 Speaker 1: and this is bugging me. So hopefully he can play 928 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 1: and hopefully we can't get him rolling and be able 929 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 1: to handle whatever we need to do on that side. 930 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 1: On the ground game, because the last two games we've 931 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: had seventy seventy eight yards rushing. The last two games 932 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 1: prior to that, we were running all over the place. 933 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 1: That's pretty Yeah, it's not what they're normally used to. 934 00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 1: He said yesterday, he feels a lot better. He was 935 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 1: limited on purpose. They kind of scaled back his reps 936 00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:05,080 Speaker 1: on purpose, just kind of gearing him up for Sunday. 937 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,880 Speaker 1: He'll be good to go, he said. He feels better. Um, 938 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,320 Speaker 1: he actually kind of laughed at us that this, this, 939 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,440 Speaker 1: this knee contusion has been something. He's not laughed but 940 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,359 Speaker 1: this he's been dealing with this for a while and 941 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,719 Speaker 1: we didn't really know about it that much, um, but 942 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,080 Speaker 1: somebody fell on it in the game and just kind 943 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 1: of made it worse. But he's been playing through it. 944 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,239 Speaker 1: He'll be fine. Well, you know what, guys, that has 945 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:30,960 Speaker 1: been a great show.
