Speaker 6: We got a lot of things we're gonna talk about today.

30
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 6: We're gonna start on some injury updates. Quite a few

31
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 6: guys jumped onto the injury report yesterday that had not

00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 6: been there, UH, some top line guys. We'll talk about

33
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 6: that here. In the second we'll get into the Dallas

34
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 6: offense versus the Baltimore defense UH. Somewhere in the second

35
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 6: segment and into the third segment, we may even have

36
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 6: some time for some phone calls. We'll see numbers eight eight, eight, eight, five, five,

37
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 6: two two nine seven and UH. As Again, as I

38
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,880

39
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna try very hard to get amber to

40
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 6: give you time to be able to call in and

41
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 6: UH and give us some feedback.

42
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 4: Let's start first with injury updates.

43
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 6: Trayvon Diggs, Seedee Lamb, Mozzie Smith all pop up on

44
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 6: the injury report. Did not practice yesterday for foot, ankle,

45
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 6: and back injuries, respectively.

46
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 4: What do we know right now about these injuries?

47
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, we could start with Mozzie Smith.

48
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: We saw him come off of the practice field during

49
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 3: the media portion of the UH practice yesterday with head

50
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 3: trainer doctor Jim Mauer. He was coming off and kind

51
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: of holding his back a little bit. So there was

52
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: some back issues that you know he's dealing with. And

53
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 3: I think it's reflective of kind of what happened on

54
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 3: Sunday as well, because if you go back on tape,

55
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 3: you can kind of see Mozzi leaning back a little

56
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: bit at times. I'm not theorizing, but there is times

57
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: you can see Mozzi kind of leaning back and grad.

58
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 8: I don't know which touchdown it was, but he Yeah,

59
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 8: he kind of turned one time and you could.

60
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: See him below her back and the left side. Yeah,

61
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 2: grab him. Yeah.

62
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: So definitely something to keep an eye on, especially with

63
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: Jordan Phillips going on the IR yesterday. If they're down

64
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: two defensive tackles going into going into Sunday, then there's

65
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 3: probably an opportunity for a Denzelt Accent or a Phil

66
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: high Skins to get elevated from the practice squad and

67
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 3: the city lamb ankle did not practice and Trayvon Diggs's

68
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 3: foot did not practice. At least from my conversations, there

69
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 3: doesn't seem to be any major concern. It's more so

70
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 3: just giving those guys some rest on a Wednesday practice,

71
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 3: and I expect them to be in a limited fashion today.

72
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 4: That's good to know.

73
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 6: As soon as we saw the injury report yesterday, I

74
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 6: think Nick came obviously, he's like, have you seen.

75
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 2: The injury report?

76
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 6: And it Obviously, when those guys pop up, you get

77
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 6: a little nervous, especially for me CD because he didn't

78
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 6: have a training camp, and so as they're ramping him up,

79
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 6: you're like, Okay, don't you want to see him and

80
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 6: you want to get more of him, but you also

81
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 6: want to be smart and make sure that it doesn't

82
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 6: overly expose him to injury. So glad to hear that

83
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 6: that's not a major situation. My question becomes if let's say,

84
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 6: for example, at this point where you are at the

85
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 6: cornerback position, if this becomes a pop problem for Trayvon,

86
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 6: what do the Cowboys do with regards to the cornerback position.

87
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have options in Andrew Booth that they acquired

88
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: via trade over the during training camp. They have Israel

89
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 3: Kuamu as well that they could use in an instance

90
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 3: like that. But you know, I'm I'm not too concerned

91
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: about game availability, but just in case it did pop up,

92
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 3: in a game and they needed somebody to fill in

93
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: and you know, make something happen there. Those are two

94
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 3: guys you look at. Also a couple of corners on

95
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 3: the practice squad who have a lot of experience as well.

96
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 3: So if they needed to elevate somebody just to have

97
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 3: someone ready, there's options to do that.

98
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 9: No, c J.

99
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: Goodwining those games for you.

100
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 5: No comment here, you go there, you go mix it.

101
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: Ryan, Just.

102
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 8: All right, you're with a different body now, so I

103
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 8: can kind of go at you.

104
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 4: You didn't have the same worries as before.

105
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 6: He's like, you know, forget on the Plane's just like

106
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 6: I don't have to get on the plane exactly. Talk

107
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 6: to me about Jake Ferguson and Stevens.

108
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 4: Who were both limited yesterday. But I hate that by

109
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 4: the way, and hamstring is yeah, I know right. The

110
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 4: best thing about.

111
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 6: Literally I can literally be on the plane and I'm

112
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 6: back home block in the morning.

113
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 4: I wake up in my own bed the next morning,

114
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 4: I'm home. Yeah.

115
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 6: John Stevens and Jake Ferguson, who missed the last game,

116
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 6: both limited in practice yesterday. Are we getting closer and

117
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 6: is there a possibility that maybe we see one or

118
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 6: both back playing this weekend.

119
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 3: I think both of these guys are back on Sunday.

120
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 3: I really good signed to see them both in a

121
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: limited fashion yesterday. There's some confidence from Mike McCarthy from

122
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: his press conference yesterday as far as you know, Ferguson's availability,

123
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 3: and then to see Stevens walking around and getting a

124
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: limited session in. He had that leg sleeve around his

125
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 3: I believe it's a left leg that he's dealing with

126
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 3: the hamstring. Don't quote me on that, but it's good

127
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: to see both of those guys on the field. I

128
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: think when you look at the rest of the injury report,

129
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 3: I mean there's there's some good confidence that you can

130
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: have Marshaw Neeland with the cat that he was kind

131
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: of battling last week, he was a full participant. And

132
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 3: then Zach Martin, you know, with the knee that he

133
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 3: came out with for a few plays on Sunday, he

134
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: was limited, so he was at least able to get

135
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: on the field. Other than what you see with Monzie Smith,

136
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 3: I really don't see any major concerns as far as

137
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: game availability on Sunday.

138
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, the having the we'll get into this, you know.

139
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 8: The one thing that the Ravens have had trouble with

140
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 8: is tight ends. They they've given up some past plays

141
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 8: down the field to some tight ends. And the rape

142
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 8: the Raiders are you know, got two of the better

143
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 8: ones and and so yeah, this is this is anything

144
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 8: that you can do to kind of bring up the

145
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 8: you know, you could kind of bring up their their

146
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 8: their availability and then working against you know, with Eddie

147
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 8: Jackson and then Marcus Williams. That's that's a that's a

148
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 8: good thing.

149
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 10: I'm curious to know something.

150
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 5: Me too, Me too.

151
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 10: Deliveries. I forgot them up theirs so I needed them

152
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 10: because my eyes hurt.

153
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 6: Doesn't know how bad you talk about storyline, I just

154
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 6: want to know.

155
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 7: Anyway, I don't talk about friendly, no, But with John Stevens,

156
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 7: I mean, I know he's he's a guy that we

157
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 7: are all eager to see and have back on the field,

158
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 7: and we've seen him be a very good player. But

159
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 7: what are your current expectations knowing that he's been out

160
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 7: this period of time and then once he comes back in,

161
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 7: I mean, what's the level there of what you're expecting

162
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 7: for him to do or.

163
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 3: Look like, Yeah, there's low expectations, but I think they're

164
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: going to give him opportunities in the receiving game. I

165
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: think you'll see him in Learne. I think you'll see

166
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 3: him split out in you know, some slot situations. He

167
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 3: has this receiving background. They needed a little bit of

168
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: receiving juice. So it wouldn't surprise me if he gets

169
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 3: a couple two three targets in this game on Sunday,

170
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: if he's active.

171
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, like I said, but especially with the way the

172
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 8: Ravens have kind of struggled in the second there, this

173
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 8: is really unusual for them for the first two weeks

174
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 8: of the season to be as poor as they played.

175
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 8: You know, teams are finding ways to throw the ball

176
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 8: on them, at least through the first two weeks. And

177
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 8: we'll get into that. Running the football is a whole

178
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 8: nother story. But throwing the football has been very successful

179
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 8: for teams. So you know, him him being out there,

180
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 8: you know, a vertical threat, an underneath threat.

181
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

182
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 8: I mean to me, that's if you threw the ball

183
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 8: to him, and and this is no slam at span

184
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 8: Ford on fourth down, I think I might have been

185
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 8: able to make a catch. I know that was a tough,

186
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 8: tough chance with you know, contested plays and stuff. But

187
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 8: if you're saying you're going to throw the ball to

188
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 8: that kid, I'm like, okay, I got a shot to

189
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 8: make a play here, span Ford, I don't know that yet,

190
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 8: you know. I mean that was the first time out

191
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 8: of the Blox and you know, and that wasn't his

192
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 8: you know, his cup.

193
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: Of tea at Minnesota.

194
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 5: You know.

195
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 8: The thing with Stevens is we've seen him make plays. Yeah,

196
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 8: So having another guy that has length and has the

197
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 8: ability to get down the field and can make some plays,

198
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 8: You're just gonna need as many of those guys on

199
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 8: the field as you can. So expectations, you know, Yeah,

200
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 8: throw them out there and see what happens, because you

201
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 8: could be you could be surprised by how well he

202
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 8: could play.

203
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 3: To that point about Baltimore, I know we'll dive more

204
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 3: into it later on, but first in the NFL and

205
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: opponent rushing yards allowed through two weeks thirty second in

206
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: the NFL and passing yards allowed.

207
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, are you looking at my notes?

208
00:08:59,040 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 5: Maybe so?

209
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 8: And it's it's clear when we get into it. I mean,

210
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 8: they've got a couple of guys inside you'd love to have.

211
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 8: I mean, they've kind of figured out that like, no,

212
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 8: you're not going to run the ball. But they play

213
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 8: in a division that's like that. You know that NFC,

214
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 8: the AFC North. You better be ready to play with

215
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 8: some power up front, and they surely do.

216
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 6: You know, it's ironic when when you talk about John Stevens,

217
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 6: it's ironic that this week the Cowboys are playing a

218
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 6: team that I think has a comparable type player likely

219
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 6: is very much like, in.

220
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: My opinion, like a John Stevens.

221
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 6: He's a guy that can get downfield, he goes vertical

222
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 6: on you like he's he has a really interesting game,

223
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 6: and I think that's a dynamic. And the way that

224
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 6: they use their two tight ends, I think that's a

225
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 6: dynamic that can add something to this Cowboys offense because White, frankly,

226
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 6: what I think we've seen in the first couple of weeks,

227
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 6: or at least what I think is, I don't know

228
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 6: how much I'm gonna want to rely as the season

229
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 6: goes on on the depth of the wide receiver position.

230
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 6: You've got one of the best, if not the best

231
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 6: wide receivers in the game. The next thought is can

232
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 6: you utilize those tight ends? And then utilizing those two

233
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 6: tight ends that can open up some opportunities for some

234
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 6: of the other wide receivers. I'm not certain. After I

235
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 6: went back and watched the film. In that last game,

236
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 6: there were a number of plays where those guys weren't

237
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 6: getting open.

238
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 4: They just weren't open.

239
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 6: It was just a situation where they just weren't getting

240
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 6: any any separation. And if that continues to be the case,

241
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 6: I think the tight ends may end up being your

242
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 6: next best option outside of Ceedee Lamb, and then maybe

243
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 6: it opens.

244
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 2: Up all week week weeks.

245
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 8: I think in the I think in the you know,

246
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 8: preseason and going leading up into the regular season, we

247
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 8: kind of talked about if you had to say where

248
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 8: the targets are gonna go, it's gonna be Lamb one,

249
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 8: Ferguson two. Yeah, and then Cooks and everybody else was

250
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 8: gonna have to kind of figure some things out. But

251
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 8: I think you're absolutely onto something there. I think not

252
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 8: having Ferguson in that game, yeah, I mean, yeah, it.

253
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 2: Did it help? Know, you know, I mean, do you

254
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: think it could have helped? Yeah? It could have.

255
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 8: You know, maybe you know, that offense looked like it

256
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 8: was there was times where they were just fighting to

257
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 8: get first downs, you know, and maybe you could have

258
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 8: made some plays down the fil you know, and you

259
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 8: got down in the red zone and stuff. One thing

260
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 8: Ferguson's good at is getting open. He knows how to

261
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 8: kind of work and find space and is run after catch.

262
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 8: You know, that's something big you talk about, you know,

263
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 8: with the with the Ravens. You know there guys, that's

264
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 8: what it is. Throw it to them short and next

265
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 8: thing you know, likely he's running the up. You know,

266
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 8: it's a short pass and now it's a you know,

267
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 8: fifteen yard gain because of run after catch. And that's

268
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 8: what you get out of Ferguson. You know, if you

269
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 8: tell me every time, like last year, every time you

270
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 8: throwing the ball it was ten yards, it was ten

271
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 8: point seven every time you throw him the ball. So

272
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 8: you know, taking that off the field didn't exactly help

273
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 8: your chances last week.

274
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, they left a lot on the table in the

275
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: red zone specifically, and I think Havin Ferguson would have

276
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 3: changed that a little bit.

277
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 6: Yes, Yeah, even when you look at Schoonmaker and some

278
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 6: of the catches he made last week. I think an

279
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 6: interesting point was there was some times when he was

280
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 6: out and isolated with one guy. You have Ferguson out there,

281
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 6: there's a good chance Ferguson makes that guy miss.

282
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's what we've seen in his career.

283
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 6: So even some of the stuff where I thought Schoolmaker

284
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 6: did a good job, I think Ferguson may have been

285
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 6: able to squeeze out even a little bit more out

286
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 6: of those plays, and that could have been more helpful

287
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 6: in a game like you said, Brian, we are struggling

288
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 6: to get first down.

289
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 8: You were struggling, and you know, the game might have

290
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 8: turned into the Pelicans versut the Mavericks. It might have

291
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 8: been one hundred and six to one hundred and five

292
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 8: if you if you had because neither you know, neither

293
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 8: team was. But to me, that's the one thing that

294
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 8: I was encouraged by, and we talked about this was

295
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 8: Luke Schoonmaker. So now, if say you do get guys

296
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 8: going here, say you do get these two tight ends going,

297
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 8: you know, if you get Stevens going and then Ferguson

298
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 8: back in the mix, and Schoonmaker's shown as an option,

299
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 8: you know as a guy that you know as many

300
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 8: of those guys as you can get going because a

301
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 8: lot of teams just don't have the ability to cover

302
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 8: tight ends. They can cover wide receivers all day. These

303
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 8: tight ends are a challenge, especially the big ones that.

304
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 4: Are athletes, and then throw two at them.

305
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 6: Yeah right, and that makes it even even easier to

306
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 6: get the mismatches.

307
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 2: You want simple throws.

308
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 4: All right, we're going to take our first break. When

309
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 4: we come back.

310
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 6: We're going to dive into the Cowboys offense versus the

311
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 6: Baltimore defense. We'll be back to alas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

312
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 11: Todd thought it would be secure, did you? And the

313
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 11: cheetah Savannah? Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought

314
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 11: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

315
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,959

Speaker 5: Got that all.

393
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: Right, here we go.

394
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 6: Let's go Cowboys offense versus the Baltimore defense. As you

395
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 6: mentioned before the break Cowboys defense, I mean, I'm sorry,

396
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 6: Baltimore's defense dead lasting past yards allowed this season, which

397
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 6: I'm not used to seeing a Baltimore defense be dead

398
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 6: last in anything. They are typically a very very solid defense,

399
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 6: but they are giving it up uh here in the.

400
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 4: First two weeks of the season.

401
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 6: My question for you, Brian is is this more function

402
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 6: of who they've played or more function of the fact

403
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 6: that they are just bad at it, or another option

404
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 6: could be they're so good against the runs, as you mentioned,

405
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 6: they're number one against the run that teams feel like, well,

406
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 6: we have to throw the ball and that gets more

407
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 6: yards because you're just doing it more frequently.

408
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:04,959
Speaker 4: What do you think it is?

409
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 8: They're zero to two against Gardner Minshew. He's beat him

410
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 8: twice now, beat him, beat him last year at Indianapolis,

411
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 8: and beat him here with the Raiders. So they don't

412
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 8: want to see Gardner Minshew play anymore.

413
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 2: But he was he was a quarterback.

414
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, he might neither do the Raiders thirty thirty of

415
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 8: thirty eight throwing the ball, you know, and if you

416
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 8: watch the game and stuff, there was some stuff behind

417
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 8: the line of scrimmage and some screens and things like that.

418
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: But when he had to make some clutch throws, he

419
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 2: made some.

420
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 4: Clues at DeVante Adams.

421
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 8: Yeah absolutely, yeah, yeah, absolutely, And you know, and that's

422
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 8: where that's where you got it there. They're not getting

423
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,239
Speaker 8: the pressures that they had in the past. Monabique, you know,

424
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 8: their defensive tackle is one of the better ones. When

425
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 8: you start to talk about those undertackles. Three techniques. Guys

426
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 8: that play inside. He's his pressure rates are down and

427
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 8: you can watch uh when he you know, he's not

428
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 8: getting off blocks like he was. Kansas City did a

429
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 8: nice job of holding him up.

430
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: The Raiders.

431
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 8: The Raiders had some some some problems. They had more

432
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 8: problems with the edges with Away, the first round pick

433
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 8: from Penn State, was a problem for them.

434
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: For a couple of sacks.

435
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 8: But they just haven't been getting the pressure that they

436
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 8: have in the past. And what's happened to is a

437
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 8: guy like Marlon Humphrey, who's been just an All Pro

438
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 8: player for him, has got off into a really bad start,

439
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 8: and you know, they've played him more in the slot.

440
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 8: You can watch him play some slot. They're trying to

441
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 8: get Nate Wiggins, who you know we talked about in

442
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 8: the Draft show from Clemson. He was a first round

443
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 8: pick last year. They're trying to get him on the field.

444
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 8: Jalen Amore Davis is another backup they're trying to get

445
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 8: on the field. So they're trying to rotate these corners

446
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 8: with Brandon Stevens and then Humphrey. Humphrey's not coming off

447
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 8: the field, but it's kind of like they're they're trying

448
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 8: to get guys involved in the defense. But with the

449
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 8: lack of pressure and then their best player coverage wise,

450
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 8: having to place mostly in the slot so they can

451
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 8: get Whiggins on the field. They've had a little bit

452
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 8: of some problems there and teams have been able to

453
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 8: complete some passes on them because there has been some separation.

454
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 2: There's been a couple of different times.

455
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 8: Where they have lost they have lost, you know, receivers.

456
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 8: I mean, there was a couple of times against Kansas

457
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 8: City where could have been huge plays. I mean, these

458
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 8: guys are giving up these explosive plays, and that's something

459
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 8: that they never ever do. But I think I went

460
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 8: back and just looked at the metrics because I kept saying, man,

461
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 8: that's unlike can't it's unlike the Ravens. They had fourteen

462
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 8: of them. Wow that they explosive plays already in the

463
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 8: passing game.

464
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 4: Just in these two games, just in two games.

465
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 2: Wow, And they could have given up more.

466
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 8: If you watch Kansas City, they Checko on the wheel,

467
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 8: they try and get up the sidelines. It looks like

468
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 8: to me that Humphreys is kind of confused. Are they

469
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 8: playing are they playing zone? They're playing man? And you know,

470
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 8: but the balls too far up the field and they

471
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 8: came back with it and missed it again, and you're like, going, man,

472
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 8: those are two shots right there. But they're they're struggling

473
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 8: a little bit on the back end. And what they're

474
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 8: having to do too is Kyle Hamilton the safety, and

475
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 8: I can't figure out, you know, his the way that

476
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 8: he's playing. I'm just trying to get a bead because

477
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 8: he's a guy you have to be aware of me.

478
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 8: Where's number fourteen. He's almost playing like he's playing like

479
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 8: a linebacker, like what we saw with Curse. So he's

480
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 8: a nickel safety. They got two regular safeties. He's playing

481
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 8: as a linebacker. He's playing in the slot. You know

482
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 8: there he's going to match up against. I have a

483
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 8: feeling he's going to be the guy that's going to

484
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 8: carry Ferguson in this game. And that's a tall, long

485
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 8: guy that can can move a little bit.

486
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 3: To that same point, he's such an important guy for them.

487
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 3: He did not practice yesterday with a back injury, so

488
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: something to keep an eye on as a week goes down.

489
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 3: But when I look at this Raven's defense, yes they

490
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 3: have the ro qwand Smith. Yeah, Nominee Ameta buke. But

491
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,239
Speaker 3: it's Kyle Hamilton for me, that's the guy you need

492
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 3: to be able to neutralize.

493
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, that Hamilton, because he could play all these spots.

494
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 8: You see him at safety, you see him at nickel slot,

495
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 8: and then you see him also though as the linebacker.

496
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 8: But he's playing a lot more near the line of

497
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 8: scrimmage than he ever has. And they're trying to you know,

498
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,959
Speaker 8: but you know, I don't know if it's trying to like, oh,

499
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 8: they worry about things in the running game. To me,

500
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 8: they're running game that they got. They got massive dudes

501
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 8: up front. I mean when you look at like Michael Pierce,

502
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 8: he's three hundred and fifty five pounds, I mean he's

503
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 8: just a big and and but they're guys for big.

504
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 8: Their guys are able to control and then get rid

505
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 8: of blockers like you try and block. These guys they're

506
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 8: holding up blocks, but they're also getting rid of blockers

507
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 8: as they're you know, getting to the football. So you

508
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 8: see them hold hold, hold, rid boom, now make a tackle,

509
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 8: you know that they're really really good him Travis Jones.

510
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 8: I mean, they've got some size inside and they got

511
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 8: linked on the edge. Kyle van Noy is a veteran

512
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 8: guy who's kind of bounced around a little bit.

513
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 5: But uh oh ways, then other guy that did not

514
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 5: practice yesterday by the way. Yeah, but yeah, that's it.

515
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 5: That's a big one.

516
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 8: But him in the in the first round pick away

517
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 8: from twenty twenty one. They they've got some lenked on

518
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 8: the edge and they've got size inside. And then they

519
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 8: got Rokwan Smith who's a shorter middle linebacker. But he

520
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 8: he's one of the like it's it's one of those

521
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 8: things like, uh, you know, if you don't block him,

522
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 8: he's going to make all the tackles. I mean, he

523
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 8: just got a nose for the ball. He has had

524
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 8: a couple of times, so where's interesting where he's had

525
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 8: a chance to make tackles. So I missed in space,

526
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 8: which is kind of not his But he's a very

527
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 8: physical player. He runs to the ball. They take advantage

528
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 8: of him a little bit some in coverage. Kansas City

529
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 8: they matched Kansas City matched him up a couple of

530
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 8: times on their tight ends and he had a little

531
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 8: bit of a struggle. So Kansas City formationed him to

532
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 8: have to play in some coverage and that was a

533
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 8: little bit of a struggle for him. So as a whole, Yeah,

534
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 8: you're probably not going to be able to run the

535
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 8: ball against these guys. But if you protect, if you

536
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 8: find a way they're you know, and slow down any

537
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 8: type of their pass rush. But they've been I went

538
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 8: back and looked at this too. Their metrics say they've

539
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 8: been really slow off the ball. You know, these are

540
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 8: the things that these are things that they look at.

541
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 8: What's your get off time for your alignment? And the

542
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 8: Ravens have been one of the slower teams in the

543
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 8: league when it comes to getting off the ball for

544
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 8: these pass rushes, so slow off the ball, not getting

545
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 8: pressure when they blitz, they don't get home. That's been

546
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 8: a problem. And teams have taken advantage. At least Kansas

547
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 8: City and the Raiders took advantage of that, and they've

548
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 8: been able to win on the outside against these these

549
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 8: corners and these safeties. And that might be the trick

550
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 8: for the Cowboys because I just don't think running the

551
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 8: football is going to be anything that you can have

552
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 8: any type of Oh let's hang our hat on this one.

553
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 8: I just think it's going to be hard to block Pierce.

554
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 8: I think it's gonna be hard to block Jones, And

555
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 8: again the linked on the edge will probably give you

556
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 8: a little bit of problem.

557
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 6: To what which if you had to identify one matchup

558
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 6: if you're the Cowboys that you would want to try

559
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 6: to create, knowing their weakness in the secondary combined with

560
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 6: a strength for you, what would be that matchup for

561
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 6: this game?

562
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: Did you have any idea? Did you look at them?

563
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 8: I got one in mind I would try and get

564
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 8: I would try and get Lamb on Brandon Stevens as

565
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 8: who I would try and get.

566
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 3: See, I was thinking Cook's on Stevens, but I think

567
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 3: Lamb has some has some ability to be able to

568
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 3: separate from him as well.

569
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I think Cooks, like Stevens is the guy.

570
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, depends on who you want to get on it.

571
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 3: It's not even necessarily like, Okay, you need to attack

572
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 3: that guy because he's not good.

573
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 5: He's good. It's just it's the it's the it's least

574
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 5: of the powers. I guess I think I.

575
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 2: Don't want to.

576
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 8: I've seen Humphrey make so many damn plays in his

577
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 8: day that I don't know if I want to challenge that.

578
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 8: They they challenged the Raiders tried to challenge him on

579
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 8: a play and Gardner Minshew threw the ball short and

580
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 8: then being an interception.

581
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and you're like going, oh jeez, why

582
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 2: shoul you do that? Bro?

583
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 8: But to me, Marlon Humphrey, when Marlon Humphrey in the

584
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 8: slot has been it's it's not his. I don't know

585
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 8: if that's his that's his game. I mean, he usually

586
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 8: plays the left corner. He's very comfortable doing that. He's

587
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 8: a good reader and he could he could adjust with you.

588
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 8: It seemed like when Kansas City got him in the

589
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 8: slot a little bit, they hit it quick and he

590
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 8: would and it was before even had a chance to react.

591
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 2: So maybe if if they if.

592
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 8: They walk him into the slot to play against say Lamb,

593
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 8: that might be an area. But on the outside, I

594
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 8: don't know how much I would challenge him. On the

595
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 8: outside in the slot, I might challenge him more. But

596
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 8: if I'm going to go after one of these guys,

597
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 8: I mean that depends on too. If how Wiggins, he's

598
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 8: a rookie, you know, if you see number two out there,

599
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 8: I would think that like, Okay, he's got quickness, He's

600
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 8: he's really he's a.

601
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 2: Small guy physically.

602
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 8: He's a small Yeah, he's a small yeah, but he

603
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 8: could run.

604
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 6: Run at him like running the ball is that is

605
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 6: he got a liability in the running.

606
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 2: The problem is on the field on early no, not

607
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 2: on early downs.

608
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 15: No.

609
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 8: But it's it's it's funny they're trying to get their

610
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 8: corners all to play. It's it's not like they're trying

611
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 8: to say, Okay, we're just gonna go with these, like

612
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 8: there's sixty six plays and you look at the end

613
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 8: of the day, and and and Diggs has played sixty

614
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 8: six of them. You know, now they're they're trying to

615
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 8: get their guys actam. I just don't know how much

616
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 8: I would attack Humphrey, even though he's off to not

617
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 8: a all pro start like he's had before.

618
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 2: He's he's given up. He's given up some.

619
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 8: Catches already in these two games, and that's very surprising

620
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 8: for him.

621
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 3: The reason I say Cooks on Stevens is and this

622
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 3: is no shit against Ceedee Lamb. I think he's a

623
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 3: phenomenal route runner. I think Brandon Cooks is the best

624
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 3: route runner on this team from a fluid standpoint. From

625
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 3: at the top of routes, he creates separation and from

626
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 3: what I've seen from Brandon Stevens at least is.

627
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 5: At those breaks he has a little bit of hesitation.

628
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 3: If he has even just the slightest of hesitation on

629
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 3: a guy like Brandon Cooks, and I want to be

630
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 3: able to attack that. And I'm completely okay with Ceede

631
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 3: Lamb going up against a Marlon Humphrey, just because Ceedee

632
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 3: Lamb typically does kind of shine in those moments whenever

633
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 3: he does have the star all pro corner on the

634
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 3: other side.

635
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 2: Like what you're doing here? I do.

636
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 5: But there's going to be options, for sure.

637
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 8: See the thing is and Amber they won't. They never

638
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 8: used cooks like we want them.

639
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 10: To use cooks.

640
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 7: Exactly what I was thinking as Nick was speaking. I'm like, yeah, sure,

641
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 7: sounds great if they use them. If they use them,

642
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 7: that's a big if rest game.

643
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 5: Last year, that's the only one I could think of me.

644
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 3: Of course, I lost the bet and had to eat

645
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 3: the hot ship, but you know they knew when to

646
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 3: use them correctly.

647
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 5: When I was on the line.

648
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 10: It's gonna be a big challenge.

649
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 7: And did you huh do you guys have the metrics

650
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 7: on how they are in like the red zone defense?

651
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 5: I'll cook that up.

652
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was to me when I was watching, I

653
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 8: was I was curious of why they were so bad.

654
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 2: Bad in the field on pass and then when you

655
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 2: watch the pass rush lack of at.

656
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 8: Times, and then then and then the pressures they that

657
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 8: just I was more curious by how they were how

658
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 8: they were playing those in the field. I was like,

659
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 8: how can this team Sometimes if you're really good at

660
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 8: run defense, they they throw the ball on you and

661
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 8: that's all they can do. In this case, they they're

662
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 8: not as good as they've been in the past. This

663
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 8: is a top three now. They've lost a lot of people.

664
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 8: They when coaches, they lost their they lost their defensive

665
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 8: coordinator to Seattle as a head coach.

666
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 2: They lost two of.

667
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 8: Their coaches to defensive coordinator jobs. I mean it is

668
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 8: a first time defensive coordinator. They got working here right now,

669
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 8: so you might be catching them at the right time

670
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 8: here before they kind of get things going here. But

671
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 8: I was more curious about how they were playing in

672
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 8: the field than I was with the red zone stuff.

673
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 3: Nineteen in the NFL and allowing touchdowns in the red zone,

674
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 3: just just for curious notes.

675
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 5: Dead last is the Dallas Cowboys.

676
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 3: Defensively and then offensively, they are tied for twenty ninth, So.

677
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 5: Wow, really bad red zone on both sides of them.

678
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, well that may that may be the elixir the

679
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 6: Dallas needs because the red zone is an area I

680
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 6: think they're going to have to really, as Amber's been

681
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 6: talking about here, stop kicking field goals like get down

682
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 6: there and get.

683
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 4: In the end zone.

684
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 6: Maybe this is the week when they can they can

685
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 6: do that real quick, Brian, before we go to break,

686
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 6: I also want to ask you if there is if

687
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 6: we come here Monday and we say the Ravens pass

688
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 6: rush just really got after that, Yeah, who is the

689
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 6: most likely person that could wreck this game?

690
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 4: From that standpoint, it's it's Away.

691
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 8: It's a number ninety nine, him and Manabique ninety two.

692
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 17: I mean, if you they flip them or does he

693
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 17: pretty much think no, Mnabik plays tackle tackle Okay, So

694
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 17: but yeah you'll get You'll get Away and van Ney

695
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 17: will be the two guys and yeah, you'll get some

696
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 17: flip from those two guys, is what you'll do.

697
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 8: But I kind of feel van Ney is a veteran guy.

698
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 8: Nick mentioned he's a little banged up right now. Oh wait,

699
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 8: I think just has.

700
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 2: This length to him.

701
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 8: You know and and his ability to capture the edge.

702
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 8: And I know in the Raiders game the other day

703
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 8: that you know, they really had a problem with him

704
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 8: because they couldn't get out of their stance fast enough

705
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 8: to get to out to you know. And maybe it's

706
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 8: a situation because you're playing a road game and stuff,

707
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 8: and you know you really can't you know, you're not

708
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 8: hearing the snap counts and things like that. But I

709
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 8: would worry about if they're going to get at you.

710
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 8: I would worry about ninety nine being the guy, and do.

711
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 4: They play him at the one the three like where?

712
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 8: Well, on the way he places an end, he's really

713
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 8: listed as an outside line.

714
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 4: Okay, I thought you were saying they move him to

715
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 4: defensive tackle.

716
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 2: No, no, they moved They move him side to side.

717
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 4: They moved him left and that I was asking initially.

718
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 8: Okay, yet so left and right and then and then

719
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 8: Minabk is the defensive tackle that you have to worry

720
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 8: about because he's the one guy that when he does

721
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 8: come off the ball, you know he's got the quickness.

722
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 8: But he hasn't played that way through two games. The

723
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 8: pressures are way down on all these guys. It's surprising

724
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 8: to be honest with.

725
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 6: You, Yeah, that's something that I want to talk about

726
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 6: when we come back from break. I want to talk

727
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 6: about specifically the Cowboys offensive line and some pressures that

728
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 6: they've been giving up and how you guys assess their

729
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 6: play through the first two and how they match up

730
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 6: against his defensive front.

731
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,080

773

Speaker 11: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

Speaker 11: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

776
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 11: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

777
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 11: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

778
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 11: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

785

Speaker 6: Final segment of the Break Live from the SWBC Mortgage

786
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 6: Studios at the Star, presented by lg Okay.

787
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 4: Here's what we're going to do.

788
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 6: Let's talk about this Cowboys offensive line because I think

789
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 6: as the season goes on, it's a storyline that we're

790
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 6: going to continue to follow because of the youth and

791
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 6: an experience of that line. Let's start first with Cooper BB.

792
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 6: Tell me what you've seen from him in the first

793
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 6: two games and where you assess his he is relative

794
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 6: to where you want.

795
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 4: Him to be at this point.

796
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 3: This might be wild to say. I think he's been

797
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 3: the most consistent guy up front, talking.

798
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 4: Off on the entire offensive line all five.

799
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,720
Speaker 5: I think he's been the most consistent, more than Tyler.

800
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 3: More than Tyler, I think he's been more consistent, especially

801
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 3: in the run game as well. I think he's been

802
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 3: able to pay some ways there, but it's been the

803
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 3: pass game where it's the only the one pressure allowed

804
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 3: in sixty two dropbacks.

805
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 6: I think it's been I can I question a little

806
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 6: bit about Yeah, I agree with you. In the passing game,

807
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 6: I've seen some good things. I still think in the

808
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 6: running game he's not quite getting to the second level, like, yeah,

809
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 6: it's not. And I think there were actually a few

810
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 6: times in this last game it was actually both for

811
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 6: him and Tyler Geydon. I thought there were opportunities they

812
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 6: had in the run game if they one of them

813
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 6: would have gotten to the second level, like there's a

814
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 6: there's a linebacker there, and it's like both of them

815
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 6: are out there in space. They didn't get there, and

816
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 6: I'm like, if they would have gotten there on that play.

817
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 4: The first one was to I think it was to

818
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 4: t Rico.

819
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 6: It was early in the game and there was a

820
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 6: linebacker there and it was Tyler who was out there.

821
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 6: But if he could have gotten there and got in

822
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 6: that block, I think you spring him probably ten to

823
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 6: fifteen yards.

824
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 4: But that's the part of his game.

825
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 6: So when you say in the running game, I still

826
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,959
Speaker 6: feel like he's not quite getting to the second level

827
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 6: like I want him to, and that's holding his running

828
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 6: game back.

829
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 5: I think that's a fair assessment.

830
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 3: I think overall, though, there hasn't been a lot to

831
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 3: pull away from the running game up front, and I

832
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 3: do understand what you mean from a Tyler Smith's perspective.

833
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 3: I think whenever you look at the product of what

834
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 3: he's being asked to do coming in as a third

835
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 3: round rookie, I think he's exceeded that really far going

836
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 3: into second game exactly two games. Yeah, the snaps have

837
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 3: been great, which that was the one thing we were

838
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 3: really worried about. I think at a point in the preseason,

839
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 3: there hasn't been anything where Dak's had to jump or

840
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 3: come back and it's messed up a handoff.

841
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 5: It's messed up timing, which is great.

842
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 3: I think whenever you look at consistency, I look at

843
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 3: BB as a guy who's just been consistent snap in

844
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 3: and snap out. Tyler Smith right there though for.

845
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 8: Sure, Yeah, you grade your sixty five plays and he

846
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 8: probably has three bad wins. There was a time when

847
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 8: they did the flip that down in the red zone

848
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 8: we were talking about, and I thought that I don't

849
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 8: know if Smith or BB maybe both of them went

850
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 8: the wrong way.

851
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 2: You know, maybe they.

852
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 4: Heard them play.

853
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 2: They both you know, it's.

854
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 8: Funny because Zach Martin stepped one way and took his

855
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 8: guy and then you know, the ball gets flipped to

856
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 8: the outside the zeke and you know there's both linebackers

857
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 8: are running him down and you're going, if you go

858
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 8: back and watch the play, it's like Smith and bbe

859
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 8: both stepped to their left as the ball's going to

860
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 8: the right, and you're going, something happened there. And then

861
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 8: we talk about with the Cleveland game, in the run

862
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 8: game where there were things and and Cory Moore, the

863
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 8: linebacker from you know here, Cory Moore, Roquan Smith. I mean,

864
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 8: you're you know, you're dealing with these linebackers. Now. If

865
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 8: you run, if you if you don't get take a

866
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 8: good angle, these linebackers are going to make the play.

867
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 8: And there was a couple of times I thought were

868
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 8: bb Bibe has been really I mean, if you say

869
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 8: the five guys, he he is in the top two.

870
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 8: As far as as as you're like, man, this is

871
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:56,919
Speaker 8: this has been pretty good from him.

872
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 2: You know, you you you were worried, you were worried.

873
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 8: About him, and calls him making steps, him blocking guys,

874
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 8: him getting to the second level. The sixty five plays,

875
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 8: there's probably going to be three or four of them.

876
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,439
Speaker 2: They're bad. You just hope that not ones that kill

877
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 2: you in the game, you know.

878
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 8: I mean I thought week one, if you start talking

879
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 8: about offensive lineman Steele was a much better player.

880
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 2: Last week, I didn't think he was as good. You know,

881
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 2: he kind of.

882
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 8: Got beat up a little bit, He got turned around

883
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 8: a little bit, you know, and Granderson took advantage of

884
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 8: him a couple of different times. So but if he said, hey,

885
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 8: who are the guys so far? I think Bbing and Smith,

886
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 8: Tyler Smith have been you know, been just fine for

887
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 8: you for those plays.

888
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 10: Not many complaints from me.

889
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 7: Again, when you look at him being selected picked in

890
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 7: the third round and what he's done so far, he's

891
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 7: exceeded expectations. In my eyes, I get it that we

892
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 7: need to take it up a notch, but that's not

893
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 7: just him, that's the line, the whole line as a whole.

894
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 7: We talked about the running game and all that and

895
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 7: the help that they need to be able to create

896
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 7: those holes for those running backs there, but him specifically,

897
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 7: I thought he's done a very good job. And one

898
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 7: of my main concerns with him and Tyler that we've

899
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 7: talked got in by the way that we talked about

900
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 7: last week heading into the I forgot or two weeks

901
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 7: ago whenever it was just penalties. I think he's handled

902
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 7: that area where he's not making those kinds of mistakes,

903
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 7: and for guys like him, rookies, those are things that

904
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 7: I personally pay a lot of attention to. Can you

905
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 7: minimize mistakes? And now is him getting to that next

906
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 7: level of taking it up another notch? But as far

907
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 7: as mistake, I think he's kept his game pretty clean.

908
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, speaking of guy, I've noticed that he's had quite

909
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 6: a few pressures he's given up in Week one and

910
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,959
Speaker 6: week two, And I heard this this morning.

911
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 4: It kind of puts it in context. For both these guys.

912
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 6: This is the first time in their careers that they're

913
00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 6: playing the positions that they're playing significant Yeah, and it's

914
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 6: in the NFL versus real competition. So when you think

915
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 6: about it from that standpoint, I'm like, both these guys

916
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,919
Speaker 6: are ahead of where they should be at this point.

917
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 6: I don't think either one of them is killing you

918
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 6: to the point where it's a problem. And yes, they

919
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 6: have some areas they have to improve on, but I

920
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 6: think you're getting enough from them to where you should

921
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 6: feel positive about where they're gonna be half the year,

922
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 6: this year, by the time you get to the end

923
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 6: of this year, and then going into next year, which

924
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 6: is really the thing. It's a long term game on

925
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 6: these two guys. But let's talk about Tyler Geyton. Now,

926
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 6: what have you seen from him and do you do

927
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 6: you think he's moving in the right direction? Are you

928
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 6: all concerned about the number of pressures that he's allowing.

929
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 3: For me personally, know just given the size of the

930
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,959
Speaker 3: competition that he's gone up against these first two weeks.

931
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 3: And I think the thing that we were concerned about

932
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 3: the most at points during training campus, Okay, how is

933
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 3: he going to account for power rushers? Sure, and when

934
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 3: you look at Miles Garrett, Carl Granderson, Cameron Jordan, and

935
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 3: those guys that he had to go up against these

936
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 3: past two Sundays, you like what you see. I mean, absolutely,

937
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 3: the penalties are at least a note at this point,

938
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 3: I'm not going to call it a concern because it's

939
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 3: only two games. He's tied for fourth in the NFL

940
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 3: for offensive lineman penalties. But I think going forward there's

941
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 3: still a lot of I think you see him increase

942
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 3: in areas of his game every single week, and when

943
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 3: you look at week two versus Week one, Week one

944
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 3: was definitely the better overall picture. But I think there

945
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 3: are some things in Week two, like the hands are

946
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 3: starting to come in just a little Biteah, they're not,

947
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 3: They're not as wide. His feet are moving off the

948
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 3: ball a little bit quicker. And you know, that's what

949
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 3: I've always liked, from guiding to his ability to kind

950
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 3: of get off and create that separation. But I think

951
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 3: I think there's still a lot of things that he

952
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 3: can improve on still going towards into the season.

953
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that week one was survival. That's all that was.

954
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 2: That was like, hey, you know, that's fair. I mean

955
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 2: that it was just like play.

956
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 5: The second half of the Saints game kind of looked

957
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 5: the same way.

958
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.

959
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 8: And that's what happens when you when all of a

960
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 8: sudden it turns into what it was was a track

961
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 8: meet and you have no running game to deal with

962
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 8: and have no way. But all you're doing is dropping

963
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 8: back and throwing the football and having to you know,

964
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 8: and they know you're going to That's how Dallas, when

965
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 8: Dallas gets ahead of the game, that's that's what That's

966
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 8: what they do to opponents. You know what the New

967
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 8: Orleans Saints that just okay, we're gonna rush, You're not

968
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 8: going to run the ball. And I think, to me,

969
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 8: where the technique has gotten better, the hands have gotten better,

970
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 8: He's got to work on the feet. The feet get

971
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 8: him in trouble sometimes where he gets but you know,

972
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 8: he's also going to work to not getting tired and

973
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 8: and and that happens that happens during games. You're just

974
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 8: you know, the pressure of every single snap is just

975
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 8: huge for these guys, and I think it wears him

976
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 8: down at times. And you know, he's he's he's gonna,

977
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 8: he's gonna develop mental toughness. You know that he can't

978
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 8: take a playoff, you can't rest on a play because

979
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 8: you'll you'll get the play blown up if you do.

980
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 8: But the technique is getting better, the mental toughness will

981
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 8: come along, and I think the kid will be fine.

982
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 8: It's just a matter of you know, him having confidence

983
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 8: that when he when he sets and gets away from

984
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 8: the line, that he's in good shape, that he can

985
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 8: get his hands inside and take care of that rusher

986
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 8: when it's on his u when it's coming down the

987
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 8: middle on him.

988
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:05,720
Speaker 10: And this is a no brainer.

989
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 7: But I mean, again, speaking about rookies, you have to

990
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 7: take into consideration the aside from hand placement, footwork, that's

991
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 7: all gonna come with the experience. But also remember how

992
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 7: different the training and everything it is from college to

993
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 7: the NFL as far as strength, How much a player

994
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 7: from the first year to the second year changes in physical,

995
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 7: physical aspect and strength. So I think that's something that's

996
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 7: also kind of come along as and it goes hand

997
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 7: in hand with what Brian is saying, being out of breath,

998
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 7: being tired. They're gonna get used to that the more

999
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 7: and more they do it. But with that, in that

1000
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 7: same token, he's gonna get more strength, same with Bebi

1001
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 7: having being the one that has now the most power

1002
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 7: in the line when facing these defensive players. So I

1003
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 7: think they're gonna keep getting better as the sea and

1004
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 7: goes along, but hopefully it comes with Cowboys wins, because

1005
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 7: I think when you start losing these games and you're

1006
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 7: just constantly getting beaten down, that's when you just all

1007
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 7: get what's the word I'm looking for, just tire and

1008
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 7: worn down and it just starts weight. Yeah, and it's

1009
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 7: just it carries a different weight. So it's just harder

1010
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 7: to overcome those things when you're not winning games and

1011
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 7: constantly getting thrown on the ground or losing those battles.

1012
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 7: So hopefully, with that being said, my point is hopefully

1013
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 7: they win this weekend.

1014
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 8: You know the thing about real quick though, the thing

1015
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 8: with BB they've got, they're gonna have their hands full

1016
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 8: with those guys inside. These are big, big men that

1017
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 8: they're going to be dealing with and you know how

1018
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 8: he plays. They they don't need to give up anything inside.

1019
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 8: They need to be sound in the middle and make

1020
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 8: sure they handle the edges in this thing. But they're

1021
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 8: they're going to bb is going to be dealing with

1022
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,919
Speaker 8: a lot of power inside, and he's a strong guy too,

1023
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:56,959
Speaker 8: and this will be this will be a good test

1024
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 8: for them.

1025
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 3: I know that you had said you had some concern

1026
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 3: about uh Oway, but do you have more concerns about

1027
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 3: the interior or the edge guys here in this game?

1028
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 5: For me, it's the interior.

1029
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that to me with well, considering that

1030
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 8: I think I saw Away, you know, Colton Miller. I

1031
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 8: was watching him with the Raiders and stuff, a veteran

1032
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 8: left tackle, and he kind of took him to task,

1033
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 8: and I was a little bit worried about about, you know,

1034
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 8: with Geyton on that edge, if all of a sudden,

1035
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 8: this guy gets into a little bit of a you know,

1036
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 8: gets into a rhythm, you know. And but but the middle,

1037
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 8: the middle is I think your better players are in

1038
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 8: the middle. I mean, I think you're better, Your better

1039
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 8: players are in the middle of this of the offense.

1040
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 8: So yeah, I think that edge with Oway I I

1041
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 8: just I don't want him to get into a rhythm.

1042
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 8: And if Dallas can't run the ball and it turns

1043
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 8: into Dak having to throw it thirty five times, I

1044
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 8: don't need to him to have three and a half

1045
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 8: sacks in this game.

1046
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's part the worries you is that if Dallas

1047
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 6: turns it into a game with having to throw a lot, Yeah,

1048
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 6: then that just exposes Geyton even more. It puts a

1049
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,760
Speaker 6: lot of pressure on all those guys and still figure

1050
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 6: it out.

1051
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1052
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 3: I will say one thing that I would really like

1053
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 3: to see Dak work on if pressure does start get getting.

1054
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 5: To him and this game, get out of there. Get

1055
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 5: out of there.

1056
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 3: He didn't get out of there enough against the Saints.

1057
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 3: That was one of the first things that he said

1058
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 3: in his press availability on after the game on Sundays.

1059
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 3: He was like, one of the things I know I

1060
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 3: can correct is kind of get out and use my

1061
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 3: legs a little bit more. He was like, I did

1062
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 3: a really good job of that last year, but I

1063
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 3: didn't quite do that today. And so I think if

1064
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 3: pressure starts to get to him earlier in the game,

1065
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 3: hopefully he's able to use that athleticism.

1066
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 6: It'll definitely slows down the defensive rush if you get

1067
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 6: out of there and make.

1068
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 5: Them pay for it, makes them think twice at the

1069
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 5: very least.

1070
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 4: Absolutely, all right, we're gonna we'll be back.

1071
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 10: What happened?

1072
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 7: What happened to these calls, mister advocate, advocate of the fans?

1073
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,760
Speaker 6: When I was, when I got into that third segment,

1079
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 6: shorten her, be a little more concise with her answers,

1080
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 6: and we'll get to some calls.
