0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 7>I was just selling Derek on the irony and being

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:20.760
<v Speaker 7>Hispanic Carritage month means the Hispanic has more work to

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:21.759
<v Speaker 7>do this month, so.

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 4>Nothing more American. Yeah, yeah, get it done. All right,

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:28.319
<v Speaker 4>let's let's dive here.

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.119
<v Speaker 6>We got a lot of things we're gonna talk about today.

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:33.320
<v Speaker 6>We're gonna start on some injury updates. Quite a few

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 6>guys jumped onto the injury report yesterday that had not

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.479
<v Speaker 6>been there, UH, some top line guys. We'll talk about

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.480
<v Speaker 6>that here. In the second we'll get into the Dallas

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 6>offense versus the Baltimore defense UH. Somewhere in the second

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 6>segment and into the third segment, we may even have

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 6>some time for some phone calls. We'll see numbers eight eight, eight, eight, five, five,

0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 6>two two nine seven and UH. As Again, as I

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 6>said before, I'm gonna be your advocate on this show,

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 6>So I'm gonna try very hard to get amber to

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 6>give you time to be able to call in and

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 6>UH and give us some feedback.

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 4>Let's start first with injury updates.

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 6>Trayvon Diggs, Seedee Lamb, Mozzie Smith all pop up on

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 6>the injury report. Did not practice yesterday for foot, ankle,

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 6>and back injuries, respectively.

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:14.239
<v Speaker 4>What do we know right now about these injuries?

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we could start with Mozzie Smith.

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 3>We saw him come off of the practice field during

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 3>the media portion of the UH practice yesterday with head

0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 3>trainer doctor Jim Mauer. He was coming off and kind

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 3>of holding his back a little bit. So there was

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 3>some back issues that you know he's dealing with. And

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 3>I think it's reflective of kind of what happened on

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.519
<v Speaker 3>Sunday as well, because if you go back on tape,

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 3>you can kind of see Mozzi leaning back a little

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 3>bit at times. I'm not theorizing, but there is times

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 3>you can see Mozzi kind of leaning back and grad.

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.399
<v Speaker 8>I don't know which touchdown it was, but he Yeah,

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 8>he kind of turned one time and you could.

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 2>See him below her back and the left side. Yeah,

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:48.639
<v Speaker 2>grab him. Yeah.

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 3>So definitely something to keep an eye on, especially with

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 3>Jordan Phillips going on the IR yesterday. If they're down

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 3>two defensive tackles going into going into Sunday, then there's

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.799
<v Speaker 3>probably an opportunity for a Denzelt Accent or a Phil

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 3>high Skins to get elevated from the practice squad and

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.919
<v Speaker 3>the city lamb ankle did not practice and Trayvon Diggs's

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 3>foot did not practice. At least from my conversations, there

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 3>doesn't seem to be any major concern. It's more so

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 3>just giving those guys some rest on a Wednesday practice,

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.239
<v Speaker 3>and I expect them to be in a limited fashion today.

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 4>That's good to know.

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:17.800
<v Speaker 6>As soon as we saw the injury report yesterday, I

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.080
<v Speaker 6>think Nick came obviously, he's like, have you seen.

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:20.920
<v Speaker 2>The injury report?

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 6>And it Obviously, when those guys pop up, you get

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.359
<v Speaker 6>a little nervous, especially for me CD because he didn't

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 6>have a training camp, and so as they're ramping him up,

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:30.959
<v Speaker 6>you're like, Okay, don't you want to see him and

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 6>you want to get more of him, but you also

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 6>want to be smart and make sure that it doesn't

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 6>overly expose him to injury. So glad to hear that

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 6>that's not a major situation. My question becomes if let's say,

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 6>for example, at this point where you are at the

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 6>cornerback position, if this becomes a pop problem for Trayvon,

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 6>what do the Cowboys do with regards to the cornerback position.

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they have options in Andrew Booth that they acquired

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 3>via trade over the during training camp. They have Israel

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 3>Kuamu as well that they could use in an instance

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 3>like that. But you know, I'm I'm not too concerned

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 3>about game availability, but just in case it did pop up,

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 3>in a game and they needed somebody to fill in

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 3>and you know, make something happen there. Those are two

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 3>guys you look at. Also a couple of corners on

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:15.839
<v Speaker 3>the practice squad who have a lot of experience as well.

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 3>So if they needed to elevate somebody just to have

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:19.480
<v Speaker 3>someone ready, there's options to do that.

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 9>No, c J.

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Goodwining those games for you.

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 5>No comment here, you go there, you go mix it.

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 3>Ryan, Just.

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.039
<v Speaker 8>All right, you're with a different body now, so I

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:32.919
<v Speaker 8>can kind of go at you.

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 4>You didn't have the same worries as before.

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:42.039
<v Speaker 6>He's like, you know, forget on the Plane's just like

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 6>I don't have to get on the plane exactly. Talk

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:49.600
<v Speaker 6>to me about Jake Ferguson and Stevens.

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 4>Who were both limited yesterday. But I hate that by

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 4>the way, and hamstring is yeah, I know right. The

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 4>best thing about.

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 6>Literally I can literally be on the plane and I'm

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:00.599
<v Speaker 6>back home block in the morning.

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 4>I wake up in my own bed the next morning,

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:04.039
<v Speaker 4>I'm home. Yeah.

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 6>John Stevens and Jake Ferguson, who missed the last game,

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 6>both limited in practice yesterday. Are we getting closer and

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 6>is there a possibility that maybe we see one or

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.279
<v Speaker 6>both back playing this weekend.

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.599
<v Speaker 3>I think both of these guys are back on Sunday.

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.719
<v Speaker 3>I really good signed to see them both in a

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 3>limited fashion yesterday. There's some confidence from Mike McCarthy from

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 3>his press conference yesterday as far as you know, Ferguson's availability,

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 3>and then to see Stevens walking around and getting a

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 3>limited session in. He had that leg sleeve around his

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:32.919
<v Speaker 3>I believe it's a left leg that he's dealing with

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 3>the hamstring. Don't quote me on that, but it's good

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 3>to see both of those guys on the field. I

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 3>think when you look at the rest of the injury report,

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:40.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean there's there's some good confidence that you can

0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 3>have Marshaw Neeland with the cat that he was kind

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 3>of battling last week, he was a full participant. And

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 3>then Zach Martin, you know, with the knee that he

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 3>came out with for a few plays on Sunday, he

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 3>was limited, so he was at least able to get

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 3>on the field. Other than what you see with Monzie Smith,

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 3>I really don't see any major concerns as far as

0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 3>game availability on Sunday.

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.280
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, the having the we'll get into this, you know.

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.360
<v Speaker 8>The one thing that the Ravens have had trouble with

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.599
<v Speaker 8>is tight ends. They they've given up some past plays

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 8>down the field to some tight ends. And the rape

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 8>the Raiders are you know, got two of the better

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 8>ones and and so yeah, this is this is anything

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 8>that you can do to kind of bring up the

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.359
<v Speaker 8>you know, you could kind of bring up their their

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.600
<v Speaker 8>their availability and then working against you know, with Eddie

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.920
<v Speaker 8>Jackson and then Marcus Williams. That's that's a that's a

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 8>good thing.

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 10>I'm curious to know something.

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 5>Me too, Me too.

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:38.600
<v Speaker 10>Deliveries. I forgot them up theirs so I needed them

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:39.479
<v Speaker 10>because my eyes hurt.

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 6>Doesn't know how bad you talk about storyline, I just

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 6>want to know.

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 7>Anyway, I don't talk about friendly, no, But with John Stevens,

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 7>I mean, I know he's he's a guy that we

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.480
<v Speaker 7>are all eager to see and have back on the field,

0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 7>and we've seen him be a very good player. But

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.160
<v Speaker 7>what are your current expectations knowing that he's been out

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 7>this period of time and then once he comes back in,

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 7>I mean, what's the level there of what you're expecting

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 7>for him to do or.

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 3>Look like, Yeah, there's low expectations, but I think they're

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 3>going to give him opportunities in the receiving game. I

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 3>think you'll see him in Learne. I think you'll see

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 3>him split out in you know, some slot situations. He

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 3>has this receiving background. They needed a little bit of

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 3>receiving juice. So it wouldn't surprise me if he gets

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 3>a couple two three targets in this game on Sunday,

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 3>if he's active.

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, like I said, but especially with the way the

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 8>Ravens have kind of struggled in the second there, this

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 8>is really unusual for them for the first two weeks

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 8>of the season to be as poor as they played.

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 8>You know, teams are finding ways to throw the ball

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.280
<v Speaker 8>on them, at least through the first two weeks. And

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 8>we'll get into that. Running the football is a whole

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 8>nother story. But throwing the football has been very successful

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 8>for teams. So you know, him him being out there,

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 8>you know, a vertical threat, an underneath threat.

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 8>I mean to me, that's if you threw the ball

0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 8>to him, and and this is no slam at span

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 8>Ford on fourth down, I think I might have been

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 8>able to make a catch. I know that was a tough,

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 8>tough chance with you know, contested plays and stuff. But

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 8>if you're saying you're going to throw the ball to

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 8>that kid, I'm like, okay, I got a shot to

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 8>make a play here, span Ford, I don't know that yet,

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 8>you know. I mean that was the first time out

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 8>of the Blox and you know, and that wasn't his

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 8>you know, his cup.

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Of tea at Minnesota.

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.000
<v Speaker 8>The thing with Stevens is we've seen him make plays. Yeah,

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 8>So having another guy that has length and has the

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 8>ability to get down the field and can make some plays,

0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 8>You're just gonna need as many of those guys on

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:39.080
<v Speaker 8>the field as you can. So expectations, you know, Yeah,

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 8>throw them out there and see what happens, because you

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 8>could be you could be surprised by how well he

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:44.720
<v Speaker 8>could play.

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.199
<v Speaker 3>To that point about Baltimore, I know we'll dive more

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.360
<v Speaker 3>into it later on, but first in the NFL and

0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 3>opponent rushing yards allowed through two weeks thirty second in

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 3>the NFL and passing yards allowed.

0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, are you looking at my notes?

0:08:59.040 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 5>Maybe so?

0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.559
<v Speaker 8>And it's it's clear when we get into it. I mean,

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 8>they've got a couple of guys inside you'd love to have.

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 8>I mean, they've kind of figured out that like, no,

0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:11.959
<v Speaker 8>you're not going to run the ball. But they play

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 8>in a division that's like that. You know that NFC,

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.199
<v Speaker 8>the AFC North. You better be ready to play with

0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 8>some power up front, and they surely do.

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 6>You know, it's ironic when when you talk about John Stevens,

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 6>it's ironic that this week the Cowboys are playing a

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 6>team that I think has a comparable type player likely

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:29.839
<v Speaker 6>is very much like, in.

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 4>My opinion, like a John Stevens.

0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.640
<v Speaker 6>He's a guy that can get downfield, he goes vertical

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 6>on you like he's he has a really interesting game,

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 6>and I think that's a dynamic. And the way that

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.079
<v Speaker 6>they use their two tight ends, I think that's a

0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.680
<v Speaker 6>dynamic that can add something to this Cowboys offense because White, frankly,

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 6>what I think we've seen in the first couple of weeks,

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 6>or at least what I think is, I don't know

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 6>how much I'm gonna want to rely as the season

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 6>goes on on the depth of the wide receiver position.

0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 6>You've got one of the best, if not the best

0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 6>wide receivers in the game. The next thought is can

0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 6>you utilize those tight ends? And then utilizing those two

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.840
<v Speaker 6>tight ends that can open up some opportunities for some

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 6>of the other wide receivers. I'm not certain. After I

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:10.600
<v Speaker 6>went back and watched the film. In that last game,

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 6>there were a number of plays where those guys weren't

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 6>getting open.

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:14.440
<v Speaker 4>They just weren't open.

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:16.680
<v Speaker 6>It was just a situation where they just weren't getting

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 6>any any separation. And if that continues to be the case,

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 6>I think the tight ends may end up being your

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 6>next best option outside of Ceedee Lamb, and then maybe

0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:24.200
<v Speaker 6>it opens.

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:25.079
<v Speaker 2>Up all week week weeks.

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 8>I think in the I think in the you know,

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 8>preseason and going leading up into the regular season, we

0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.440
<v Speaker 8>kind of talked about if you had to say where

0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:36.040
<v Speaker 8>the targets are gonna go, it's gonna be Lamb one,

0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 8>Ferguson two. Yeah, and then Cooks and everybody else was

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:40.840
<v Speaker 8>gonna have to kind of figure some things out. But

0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 8>I think you're absolutely onto something there. I think not

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.360
<v Speaker 8>having Ferguson in that game, yeah, I mean, yeah, it.

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Did it help? Know, you know, I mean, do you

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 2>think it could have helped? Yeah? It could have.

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.319
<v Speaker 8>You know, maybe you know, that offense looked like it

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.560
<v Speaker 8>was there was times where they were just fighting to

0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 8>get first downs, you know, and maybe you could have

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.000
<v Speaker 8>made some plays down the fil you know, and you

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:02.720
<v Speaker 8>got down in the red zone and stuff. One thing

0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 8>Ferguson's good at is getting open. He knows how to

0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.560
<v Speaker 8>kind of work and find space and is run after catch.

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 8>You know, that's something big you talk about, you know,

0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:14.959
<v Speaker 8>with the with the Ravens. You know there guys, that's

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:16.839
<v Speaker 8>what it is. Throw it to them short and next

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:18.559
<v Speaker 8>thing you know, likely he's running the up. You know,

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.520
<v Speaker 8>it's a short pass and now it's a you know,

0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.360
<v Speaker 8>fifteen yard gain because of run after catch. And that's

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.080
<v Speaker 8>what you get out of Ferguson. You know, if you

0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.319
<v Speaker 8>tell me every time, like last year, every time you

0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 8>throwing the ball it was ten yards, it was ten

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.680
<v Speaker 8>point seven every time you throw him the ball. So

0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 8>you know, taking that off the field didn't exactly help

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 8>your chances last week.

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:37.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they left a lot on the table in the

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 3>red zone specifically, and I think Havin Ferguson would have

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 3>changed that a little bit.

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 6>Yes, Yeah, even when you look at Schoonmaker and some

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 6>of the catches he made last week. I think an

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.679
<v Speaker 6>interesting point was there was some times when he was

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:51.079
<v Speaker 6>out and isolated with one guy. You have Ferguson out there,

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 6>there's a good chance Ferguson makes that guy miss.

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:54.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well that's what we've seen in his career.

0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 6>So even some of the stuff where I thought Schoolmaker

0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:58.600
<v Speaker 6>did a good job, I think Ferguson may have been

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 6>able to squeeze out even a little bit more out

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 6>of those plays, and that could have been more helpful

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:04.600
<v Speaker 6>in a game like you said, Brian, we are struggling

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:05.120
<v Speaker 6>to get first down.

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.640
<v Speaker 8>You were struggling, and you know, the game might have

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.319
<v Speaker 8>turned into the Pelicans versut the Mavericks. It might have

0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 8>been one hundred and six to one hundred and five

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.520
<v Speaker 8>if you if you had because neither you know, neither

0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 8>team was. But to me, that's the one thing that

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.080
<v Speaker 8>I was encouraged by, and we talked about this was

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 8>Luke Schoonmaker. So now, if say you do get guys

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.440
<v Speaker 8>going here, say you do get these two tight ends going,

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.840
<v Speaker 8>you know, if you get Stevens going and then Ferguson

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.480
<v Speaker 8>back in the mix, and Schoonmaker's shown as an option,

0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.040
<v Speaker 8>you know as a guy that you know as many

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 8>of those guys as you can get going because a

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.440
<v Speaker 8>lot of teams just don't have the ability to cover

0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 8>tight ends. They can cover wide receivers all day. These

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.480
<v Speaker 8>tight ends are a challenge, especially the big ones that.

0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.199
<v Speaker 4>Are athletes, and then throw two at them.

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 6>Yeah right, and that makes it even even easier to

0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 6>get the mismatches.

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:49.560
<v Speaker 2>You want simple throws.

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 4>All right, we're going to take our first break. When

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 4>we come back.

0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:54.839
<v Speaker 6>We're going to dive into the Cowboys offense versus the

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.199
<v Speaker 6>Baltimore defense. We'll be back to alas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:00.319
<v Speaker 11>Todd thought it would be secure, did you? And the

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.320
<v Speaker 11>cheetah Savannah? Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 11>online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.959
<v Speaker 11>faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.320

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.400
<v Speaker 11>learned the best thing to do is stop running and

<v Speaker 6>Anyway, Welcome Back is the second segment of the Break

<v Speaker 6>Lift in s WBC Morgan Studios. At the start of

<v Speaker 6>the segment, brought to you by blockchain dot Com.

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.040
<v Speaker 5>Got that all.

0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Right, here we go.

0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:26.680
<v Speaker 6>Let's go Cowboys offense versus the Baltimore defense. As you

0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.640
<v Speaker 6>mentioned before the break Cowboys defense, I mean, I'm sorry,

0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:34.680
<v Speaker 6>Baltimore's defense dead lasting past yards allowed this season, which

0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:37.520
<v Speaker 6>I'm not used to seeing a Baltimore defense be dead

0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:41.000
<v Speaker 6>last in anything. They are typically a very very solid defense,

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.880
<v Speaker 6>but they are giving it up uh here in the.

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:44.880
<v Speaker 4>First two weeks of the season.

0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 6>My question for you, Brian is is this more function

0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 6>of who they've played or more function of the fact

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.560
<v Speaker 6>that they are just bad at it, or another option

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.640
<v Speaker 6>could be they're so good against the runs, as you mentioned,

0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 6>they're number one against the run that teams feel like, well,

0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 6>we have to throw the ball and that gets more

0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.119
<v Speaker 6>yards because you're just doing it more frequently.

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:04.959
<v Speaker 4>What do you think it is?

0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.359
<v Speaker 8>They're zero to two against Gardner Minshew. He's beat him

0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:10.960
<v Speaker 8>twice now, beat him, beat him last year at Indianapolis,

0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.240
<v Speaker 8>and beat him here with the Raiders. So they don't

0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:16.080
<v Speaker 8>want to see Gardner Minshew play anymore.

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.000
<v Speaker 2>But he was he was a quarterback.

0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:21.080
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, he might neither do the Raiders thirty thirty of

0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.119
<v Speaker 8>thirty eight throwing the ball, you know, and if you

0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.080
<v Speaker 8>watch the game and stuff, there was some stuff behind

0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:27.400
<v Speaker 8>the line of scrimmage and some screens and things like that.

0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:29.600
<v Speaker 2>But when he had to make some clutch throws, he

0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:30.040
<v Speaker 2>made some.

0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:31.639
<v Speaker 4>Clues at DeVante Adams.

0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:35.560
<v Speaker 8>Yeah absolutely, yeah, yeah, absolutely, And you know, and that's

0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:37.800
<v Speaker 8>where that's where you got it there. They're not getting

0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.239
<v Speaker 8>the pressures that they had in the past. Monabique, you know,

0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:44.960
<v Speaker 8>their defensive tackle is one of the better ones. When

0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:48.720
<v Speaker 8>you start to talk about those undertackles. Three techniques. Guys

0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:52.000
<v Speaker 8>that play inside. He's his pressure rates are down and

0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.919
<v Speaker 8>you can watch uh when he you know, he's not

0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:57.680
<v Speaker 8>getting off blocks like he was. Kansas City did a

0:17:57.760 --> 0:17:58.960
<v Speaker 8>nice job of holding him up.

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:00.000
<v Speaker 2>The Raiders.

0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:03.440
<v Speaker 8>The Raiders had some some some problems. They had more

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:07.520
<v Speaker 8>problems with the edges with Away, the first round pick

0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:09.520
<v Speaker 8>from Penn State, was a problem for them.

0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:10.320
<v Speaker 2>For a couple of sacks.

0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.480
<v Speaker 8>But they just haven't been getting the pressure that they

0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.359
<v Speaker 8>have in the past. And what's happened to is a

0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:19.040
<v Speaker 8>guy like Marlon Humphrey, who's been just an All Pro

0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:21.639
<v Speaker 8>player for him, has got off into a really bad start,

0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.240
<v Speaker 8>and you know, they've played him more in the slot.

0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.600
<v Speaker 8>You can watch him play some slot. They're trying to

0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:29.960
<v Speaker 8>get Nate Wiggins, who you know we talked about in

0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:32.680
<v Speaker 8>the Draft show from Clemson. He was a first round

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:35.080
<v Speaker 8>pick last year. They're trying to get him on the field.

0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:39.160
<v Speaker 8>Jalen Amore Davis is another backup they're trying to get

0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.520
<v Speaker 8>on the field. So they're trying to rotate these corners

0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:45.200
<v Speaker 8>with Brandon Stevens and then Humphrey. Humphrey's not coming off

0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:48.040
<v Speaker 8>the field, but it's kind of like they're they're trying

0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:51.320
<v Speaker 8>to get guys involved in the defense. But with the

0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:55.879
<v Speaker 8>lack of pressure and then their best player coverage wise,

0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:59.520
<v Speaker 8>having to place mostly in the slot so they can

0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:03.000
<v Speaker 8>get Whiggins on the field. They've had a little bit

0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.840
<v Speaker 8>of some problems there and teams have been able to

0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:09.800
<v Speaker 8>complete some passes on them because there has been some separation.

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:12.119
<v Speaker 2>There's been a couple of different times.

0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 8>Where they have lost they have lost, you know, receivers.

0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.080
<v Speaker 8>I mean, there was a couple of times against Kansas

0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.840
<v Speaker 8>City where could have been huge plays. I mean, these

0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 8>guys are giving up these explosive plays, and that's something

0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.680
<v Speaker 8>that they never ever do. But I think I went

0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:32.400
<v Speaker 8>back and just looked at the metrics because I kept saying, man,

0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:36.320
<v Speaker 8>that's unlike can't it's unlike the Ravens. They had fourteen

0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:39.600
<v Speaker 8>of them. Wow that they explosive plays already in the

0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:40.600
<v Speaker 8>passing game.

0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:42.439
<v Speaker 4>Just in these two games, just in two games.

0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Wow, And they could have given up more.

0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:47.159
<v Speaker 8>If you watch Kansas City, they Checko on the wheel,

0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.679
<v Speaker 8>they try and get up the sidelines. It looks like

0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:51.919
<v Speaker 8>to me that Humphreys is kind of confused. Are they

0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:54.879
<v Speaker 8>playing are they playing zone? They're playing man? And you know,

0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:57.720
<v Speaker 8>but the balls too far up the field and they

0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:00.720
<v Speaker 8>came back with it and missed it again, and you're like, going, man,

0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:04.600
<v Speaker 8>those are two shots right there. But they're they're struggling

0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:06.720
<v Speaker 8>a little bit on the back end. And what they're

0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:11.600
<v Speaker 8>having to do too is Kyle Hamilton the safety, and

0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:14.639
<v Speaker 8>I can't figure out, you know, his the way that

0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:17.200
<v Speaker 8>he's playing. I'm just trying to get a bead because

0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:18.680
<v Speaker 8>he's a guy you have to be aware of me.

0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:22.280
<v Speaker 8>Where's number fourteen. He's almost playing like he's playing like

0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:25.359
<v Speaker 8>a linebacker, like what we saw with Curse. So he's

0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:29.560
<v Speaker 8>a nickel safety. They got two regular safeties. He's playing

0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.560
<v Speaker 8>as a linebacker. He's playing in the slot. You know

0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:34.960
<v Speaker 8>there he's going to match up against. I have a

0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:36.560
<v Speaker 8>feeling he's going to be the guy that's going to

0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:40.399
<v Speaker 8>carry Ferguson in this game. And that's a tall, long

0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:42.240
<v Speaker 8>guy that can can move a little bit.

0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:44.480
<v Speaker 3>To that same point, he's such an important guy for them.

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:46.480
<v Speaker 3>He did not practice yesterday with a back injury, so

0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:48.040
<v Speaker 3>something to keep an eye on as a week goes down.

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.400
<v Speaker 3>But when I look at this Raven's defense, yes they

0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:53.679
<v Speaker 3>have the ro qwand Smith. Yeah, Nominee Ameta buke. But

0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:56.239
<v Speaker 3>it's Kyle Hamilton for me, that's the guy you need

0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 3>to be able to neutralize.

0:20:57.440 --> 0:20:59.920
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, that Hamilton, because he could play all these spots.

0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:03.680
<v Speaker 8>You see him at safety, you see him at nickel slot,

0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:06.800
<v Speaker 8>and then you see him also though as the linebacker.

0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:09.040
<v Speaker 8>But he's playing a lot more near the line of

0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:11.960
<v Speaker 8>scrimmage than he ever has. And they're trying to you know,

0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:14.959
<v Speaker 8>but you know, I don't know if it's trying to like, oh,

0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:16.919
<v Speaker 8>they worry about things in the running game. To me,

0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:20.320
<v Speaker 8>they're running game that they got. They got massive dudes

0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:23.040
<v Speaker 8>up front. I mean when you look at like Michael Pierce,

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:25.680
<v Speaker 8>he's three hundred and fifty five pounds, I mean he's

0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:29.040
<v Speaker 8>just a big and and but they're guys for big.

0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:32.320
<v Speaker 8>Their guys are able to control and then get rid

0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:35.400
<v Speaker 8>of blockers like you try and block. These guys they're

0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:39.320
<v Speaker 8>holding up blocks, but they're also getting rid of blockers

0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:42.080
<v Speaker 8>as they're you know, getting to the football. So you

0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:45.600
<v Speaker 8>see them hold hold, hold, rid boom, now make a tackle,

0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:48.800
<v Speaker 8>you know that they're really really good him Travis Jones.

0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:51.680
<v Speaker 8>I mean, they've got some size inside and they got

0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:54.040
<v Speaker 8>linked on the edge. Kyle van Noy is a veteran

0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:56.000
<v Speaker 8>guy who's kind of bounced around a little bit.

0:21:56.600 --> 0:21:58.240
<v Speaker 5>But uh oh ways, then other guy that did not

0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 5>practice yesterday by the way. Yeah, but yeah, that's it.

0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:00.600
<v Speaker 5>That's a big one.

0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:03.520
<v Speaker 8>But him in the in the first round pick away

0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:07.600
<v Speaker 8>from twenty twenty one. They they've got some lenked on

0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:10.679
<v Speaker 8>the edge and they've got size inside. And then they

0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:16.280
<v Speaker 8>got Rokwan Smith who's a shorter middle linebacker. But he

0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:18.600
<v Speaker 8>he's one of the like it's it's one of those

0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:22.040
<v Speaker 8>things like, uh, you know, if you don't block him,

0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:23.800
<v Speaker 8>he's going to make all the tackles. I mean, he

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:26.159
<v Speaker 8>just got a nose for the ball. He has had

0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:28.320
<v Speaker 8>a couple of times, so where's interesting where he's had

0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:30.680
<v Speaker 8>a chance to make tackles. So I missed in space,

0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:33.000
<v Speaker 8>which is kind of not his But he's a very

0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:36.760
<v Speaker 8>physical player. He runs to the ball. They take advantage

0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:38.800
<v Speaker 8>of him a little bit some in coverage. Kansas City

0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:41.240
<v Speaker 8>they matched Kansas City matched him up a couple of

0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:43.920
<v Speaker 8>times on their tight ends and he had a little

0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:47.080
<v Speaker 8>bit of a struggle. So Kansas City formationed him to

0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:49.879
<v Speaker 8>have to play in some coverage and that was a

0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:53.320
<v Speaker 8>little bit of a struggle for him. So as a whole, Yeah,

0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:54.800
<v Speaker 8>you're probably not going to be able to run the

0:22:54.800 --> 0:22:58.600
<v Speaker 8>ball against these guys. But if you protect, if you

0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:01.600
<v Speaker 8>find a way they're you know, and slow down any

0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:04.320
<v Speaker 8>type of their pass rush. But they've been I went

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:07.080
<v Speaker 8>back and looked at this too. Their metrics say they've

0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:09.439
<v Speaker 8>been really slow off the ball. You know, these are

0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:11.400
<v Speaker 8>the things that these are things that they look at.

0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:13.879
<v Speaker 8>What's your get off time for your alignment? And the

0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:16.480
<v Speaker 8>Ravens have been one of the slower teams in the

0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:18.359
<v Speaker 8>league when it comes to getting off the ball for

0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:21.840
<v Speaker 8>these pass rushes, so slow off the ball, not getting

0:23:21.880 --> 0:23:25.840
<v Speaker 8>pressure when they blitz, they don't get home. That's been

0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:28.359
<v Speaker 8>a problem. And teams have taken advantage. At least Kansas

0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:31.400
<v Speaker 8>City and the Raiders took advantage of that, and they've

0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:33.680
<v Speaker 8>been able to win on the outside against these these

0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:36.400
<v Speaker 8>corners and these safeties. And that might be the trick

0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:38.560
<v Speaker 8>for the Cowboys because I just don't think running the

0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:41.320
<v Speaker 8>football is going to be anything that you can have

0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:43.679
<v Speaker 8>any type of Oh let's hang our hat on this one.

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:46.040
<v Speaker 8>I just think it's going to be hard to block Pierce.

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:48.640
<v Speaker 8>I think it's gonna be hard to block Jones, And

0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:50.520
<v Speaker 8>again the linked on the edge will probably give you

0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:51.600
<v Speaker 8>a little bit of problem.

0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:54.840
<v Speaker 6>To what which if you had to identify one matchup

0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:57.320
<v Speaker 6>if you're the Cowboys that you would want to try

0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:02.439
<v Speaker 6>to create, knowing their weakness in the secondary combined with

0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:04.879
<v Speaker 6>a strength for you, what would be that matchup for

0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:05.280
<v Speaker 6>this game?

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Did you have any idea? Did you look at them?

0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:09.760
<v Speaker 8>I got one in mind I would try and get

0:24:09.800 --> 0:24:12.040
<v Speaker 8>I would try and get Lamb on Brandon Stevens as

0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:12.920
<v Speaker 8>who I would try and get.

0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:15.240
<v Speaker 3>See, I was thinking Cook's on Stevens, but I think

0:24:15.320 --> 0:24:17.680
<v Speaker 3>Lamb has some has some ability to be able to

0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:18.640
<v Speaker 3>separate from him as well.

0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:20.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but I think Cooks, like Stevens is the guy.

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:22.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, depends on who you want to get on it.

0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:24.560
<v Speaker 3>It's not even necessarily like, Okay, you need to attack

0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:25.800
<v Speaker 3>that guy because he's not good.

0:24:26.080 --> 0:24:28.600
<v Speaker 5>He's good. It's just it's the it's the it's least

0:24:28.600 --> 0:24:30.240
<v Speaker 5>of the powers. I guess I think I.

0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:31.439
<v Speaker 2>Don't want to.

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:34.240
<v Speaker 8>I've seen Humphrey make so many damn plays in his

0:24:34.359 --> 0:24:36.840
<v Speaker 8>day that I don't know if I want to challenge that.

0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:39.480
<v Speaker 8>They they challenged the Raiders tried to challenge him on

0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:42.600
<v Speaker 8>a play and Gardner Minshew threw the ball short and

0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:43.600
<v Speaker 8>then being an interception.

0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:45.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, and you're like going, oh jeez, why

0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:46.200
<v Speaker 2>shoul you do that? Bro?

0:24:46.640 --> 0:24:50.240
<v Speaker 8>But to me, Marlon Humphrey, when Marlon Humphrey in the

0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:54.840
<v Speaker 8>slot has been it's it's not his. I don't know

0:24:54.880 --> 0:24:57.280
<v Speaker 8>if that's his that's his game. I mean, he usually

0:24:57.280 --> 0:25:00.760
<v Speaker 8>plays the left corner. He's very comfortable doing that. He's

0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:04.080
<v Speaker 8>a good reader and he could he could adjust with you.

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:06.679
<v Speaker 8>It seemed like when Kansas City got him in the

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:09.720
<v Speaker 8>slot a little bit, they hit it quick and he

0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:12.760
<v Speaker 8>would and it was before even had a chance to react.

0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:15.280
<v Speaker 2>So maybe if if they if.

0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:18.920
<v Speaker 8>They walk him into the slot to play against say Lamb,

0:25:19.920 --> 0:25:22.320
<v Speaker 8>that might be an area. But on the outside, I

0:25:22.320 --> 0:25:23.960
<v Speaker 8>don't know how much I would challenge him. On the

0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:27.199
<v Speaker 8>outside in the slot, I might challenge him more. But

0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:29.080
<v Speaker 8>if I'm going to go after one of these guys,

0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:31.760
<v Speaker 8>I mean that depends on too. If how Wiggins, he's

0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:34.640
<v Speaker 8>a rookie, you know, if you see number two out there,

0:25:34.800 --> 0:25:38.240
<v Speaker 8>I would think that like, Okay, he's got quickness, He's

0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:39.600
<v Speaker 8>he's really he's a.

0:25:39.480 --> 0:25:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Small guy physically.

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:44.560
<v Speaker 8>He's a small Yeah, he's a small yeah, but he

0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:45.880
<v Speaker 8>could run.

0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:47.520
<v Speaker 6>Run at him like running the ball is that is

0:25:47.560 --> 0:25:48.920
<v Speaker 6>he got a liability in the running.

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:51.359
<v Speaker 2>The problem is on the field on early no, not

0:25:51.400 --> 0:25:52.199
<v Speaker 2>on early downs.

0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:52.320
<v Speaker 15>No.

0:25:52.480 --> 0:25:56.000
<v Speaker 8>But it's it's it's funny they're trying to get their

0:25:56.080 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 8>corners all to play. It's it's not like they're trying

0:25:59.359 --> 0:26:01.520
<v Speaker 8>to say, Okay, we're just gonna go with these, like

0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:04.159
<v Speaker 8>there's sixty six plays and you look at the end

0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:07.159
<v Speaker 8>of the day, and and and Diggs has played sixty

0:26:07.160 --> 0:26:09.399
<v Speaker 8>six of them. You know, now they're they're trying to

0:26:09.440 --> 0:26:12.200
<v Speaker 8>get their guys actam. I just don't know how much

0:26:12.240 --> 0:26:16.359
<v Speaker 8>I would attack Humphrey, even though he's off to not

0:26:16.520 --> 0:26:18.879
<v Speaker 8>a all pro start like he's had before.

0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:22.000
<v Speaker 2>He's he's given up. He's given up some.

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:25.159
<v Speaker 8>Catches already in these two games, and that's very surprising

0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:25.560
<v Speaker 8>for him.

0:26:25.600 --> 0:26:27.960
<v Speaker 3>The reason I say Cooks on Stevens is and this

0:26:28.040 --> 0:26:29.639
<v Speaker 3>is no shit against Ceedee Lamb. I think he's a

0:26:29.640 --> 0:26:31.879
<v Speaker 3>phenomenal route runner. I think Brandon Cooks is the best

0:26:32.000 --> 0:26:35.040
<v Speaker 3>route runner on this team from a fluid standpoint. From

0:26:35.080 --> 0:26:37.919
<v Speaker 3>at the top of routes, he creates separation and from

0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:39.960
<v Speaker 3>what I've seen from Brandon Stevens at least is.

0:26:40.119 --> 0:26:42.440
<v Speaker 5>At those breaks he has a little bit of hesitation.

0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:44.919
<v Speaker 3>If he has even just the slightest of hesitation on

0:26:44.960 --> 0:26:46.439
<v Speaker 3>a guy like Brandon Cooks, and I want to be

0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:48.960
<v Speaker 3>able to attack that. And I'm completely okay with Ceede

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:51.760
<v Speaker 3>Lamb going up against a Marlon Humphrey, just because Ceedee

0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:54.320
<v Speaker 3>Lamb typically does kind of shine in those moments whenever

0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:56.440
<v Speaker 3>he does have the star all pro corner on the

0:26:56.480 --> 0:26:57.080
<v Speaker 3>other side.

0:26:57.040 --> 0:26:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Like what you're doing here? I do.

0:26:58.480 --> 0:27:00.760
<v Speaker 5>But there's going to be options, for sure.

0:27:00.800 --> 0:27:03.480
<v Speaker 8>See the thing is and Amber they won't. They never

0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:04.800
<v Speaker 8>used cooks like we want them.

0:27:04.640 --> 0:27:06.880
<v Speaker 10>To use cooks.

0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:12.160
<v Speaker 7>Exactly what I was thinking as Nick was speaking. I'm like, yeah, sure,

0:27:12.240 --> 0:27:14.520
<v Speaker 7>sounds great if they use them. If they use them,

0:27:14.680 --> 0:27:16.000
<v Speaker 7>that's a big if rest game.

0:27:16.080 --> 0:27:17.760
<v Speaker 5>Last year, that's the only one I could think of me.

0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:19.280
<v Speaker 3>Of course, I lost the bet and had to eat

0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:21.399
<v Speaker 3>the hot ship, but you know they knew when to

0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:22.480
<v Speaker 3>use them correctly.

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:24.040
<v Speaker 5>When I was on the line.

0:27:24.560 --> 0:27:27.200
<v Speaker 10>It's gonna be a big challenge.

0:27:27.480 --> 0:27:30.320
<v Speaker 7>And did you huh do you guys have the metrics

0:27:30.320 --> 0:27:33.119
<v Speaker 7>on how they are in like the red zone defense?

0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:34.919
<v Speaker 5>I'll cook that up.

0:27:35.160 --> 0:27:37.720
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I was to me when I was watching, I

0:27:37.760 --> 0:27:39.880
<v Speaker 8>was I was curious of why they were so bad.

0:27:39.880 --> 0:27:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Bad in the field on pass and then when you

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:45.879
<v Speaker 2>watch the pass rush lack of at.

0:27:45.760 --> 0:27:50.040
<v Speaker 8>Times, and then then and then the pressures they that

0:27:50.280 --> 0:27:53.240
<v Speaker 8>just I was more curious by how they were how

0:27:53.280 --> 0:27:55.399
<v Speaker 8>they were playing those in the field. I was like,

0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:58.040
<v Speaker 8>how can this team Sometimes if you're really good at

0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:01.159
<v Speaker 8>run defense, they they throw the ball on you and

0:28:01.160 --> 0:28:03.800
<v Speaker 8>that's all they can do. In this case, they they're

0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:05.720
<v Speaker 8>not as good as they've been in the past. This

0:28:06.320 --> 0:28:09.280
<v Speaker 8>is a top three now. They've lost a lot of people.

0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:12.760
<v Speaker 8>They when coaches, they lost their they lost their defensive

0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:14.600
<v Speaker 8>coordinator to Seattle as a head coach.

0:28:15.000 --> 0:28:15.760
<v Speaker 2>They lost two of.

0:28:15.760 --> 0:28:20.200
<v Speaker 8>Their coaches to defensive coordinator jobs. I mean it is

0:28:20.240 --> 0:28:23.280
<v Speaker 8>a first time defensive coordinator. They got working here right now,

0:28:23.560 --> 0:28:25.920
<v Speaker 8>so you might be catching them at the right time

0:28:26.000 --> 0:28:28.159
<v Speaker 8>here before they kind of get things going here. But

0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:30.600
<v Speaker 8>I was more curious about how they were playing in

0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:32.400
<v Speaker 8>the field than I was with the red zone stuff.

0:28:32.480 --> 0:28:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Nineteen in the NFL and allowing touchdowns in the red zone,

0:28:36.520 --> 0:28:38.000
<v Speaker 3>just just for curious notes.

0:28:38.320 --> 0:28:40.000
<v Speaker 5>Dead last is the Dallas Cowboys.

0:28:40.120 --> 0:28:43.480
<v Speaker 3>Defensively and then offensively, they are tied for twenty ninth, So.

0:28:43.600 --> 0:28:46.320
<v Speaker 5>Wow, really bad red zone on both sides of them.

0:28:46.480 --> 0:28:48.800
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, well that may that may be the elixir the

0:28:48.880 --> 0:28:51.040
<v Speaker 6>Dallas needs because the red zone is an area I

0:28:51.040 --> 0:28:52.880
<v Speaker 6>think they're going to have to really, as Amber's been

0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:55.120
<v Speaker 6>talking about here, stop kicking field goals like get down

0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:55.760
<v Speaker 6>there and get.

0:28:55.560 --> 0:28:56.160
<v Speaker 4>In the end zone.

0:28:56.400 --> 0:28:58.040
<v Speaker 6>Maybe this is the week when they can they can

0:28:58.080 --> 0:29:00.000
<v Speaker 6>do that real quick, Brian, before we go to break,

0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:01.680
<v Speaker 6>I also want to ask you if there is if

0:29:01.720 --> 0:29:04.920
<v Speaker 6>we come here Monday and we say the Ravens pass

0:29:05.000 --> 0:29:07.320
<v Speaker 6>rush just really got after that, Yeah, who is the

0:29:07.360 --> 0:29:09.440
<v Speaker 6>most likely person that could wreck this game?

0:29:09.440 --> 0:29:11.200
<v Speaker 4>From that standpoint, it's it's Away.

0:29:11.480 --> 0:29:14.880
<v Speaker 8>It's a number ninety nine, him and Manabique ninety two.

0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:16.720
<v Speaker 17>I mean, if you they flip them or does he

0:29:16.760 --> 0:29:19.680
<v Speaker 17>pretty much think no, Mnabik plays tackle tackle Okay, So

0:29:19.840 --> 0:29:22.880
<v Speaker 17>but yeah you'll get You'll get Away and van Ney

0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:25.000
<v Speaker 17>will be the two guys and yeah, you'll get some

0:29:25.080 --> 0:29:27.080
<v Speaker 17>flip from those two guys, is what you'll do.

0:29:27.240 --> 0:29:30.200
<v Speaker 8>But I kind of feel van Ney is a veteran guy.

0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:34.000
<v Speaker 8>Nick mentioned he's a little banged up right now. Oh wait,

0:29:34.040 --> 0:29:35.120
<v Speaker 8>I think just has.

0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:36.320
<v Speaker 2>This length to him.

0:29:36.480 --> 0:29:39.120
<v Speaker 8>You know and and his ability to capture the edge.

0:29:39.200 --> 0:29:41.920
<v Speaker 8>And I know in the Raiders game the other day

0:29:42.000 --> 0:29:44.720
<v Speaker 8>that you know, they really had a problem with him

0:29:44.920 --> 0:29:47.880
<v Speaker 8>because they couldn't get out of their stance fast enough

0:29:47.880 --> 0:29:49.960
<v Speaker 8>to get to out to you know. And maybe it's

0:29:50.120 --> 0:29:52.480
<v Speaker 8>a situation because you're playing a road game and stuff,

0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:54.760
<v Speaker 8>and you know you really can't you know, you're not

0:29:54.880 --> 0:29:57.720
<v Speaker 8>hearing the snap counts and things like that. But I

0:29:57.720 --> 0:30:00.240
<v Speaker 8>would worry about if they're going to get at you.

0:30:00.280 --> 0:30:02.680
<v Speaker 8>I would worry about ninety nine being the guy, and do.

0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:05.520
<v Speaker 4>They play him at the one the three like where?

0:30:04.600 --> 0:30:09.160
<v Speaker 8>Well, on the way he places an end, he's really

0:30:09.160 --> 0:30:10.160
<v Speaker 8>listed as an outside line.

0:30:10.200 --> 0:30:11.600
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I thought you were saying they move him to

0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:12.320
<v Speaker 4>defensive tackle.

0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:14.760
<v Speaker 2>No, no, they moved They move him side to side.

0:30:14.800 --> 0:30:16.840
<v Speaker 4>They moved him left and that I was asking initially.

0:30:16.800 --> 0:30:18.880
<v Speaker 8>Okay, yet so left and right and then and then

0:30:18.920 --> 0:30:22.040
<v Speaker 8>Minabk is the defensive tackle that you have to worry

0:30:22.080 --> 0:30:24.680
<v Speaker 8>about because he's the one guy that when he does

0:30:24.720 --> 0:30:27.080
<v Speaker 8>come off the ball, you know he's got the quickness.

0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:29.560
<v Speaker 8>But he hasn't played that way through two games. The

0:30:29.600 --> 0:30:32.480
<v Speaker 8>pressures are way down on all these guys. It's surprising

0:30:32.480 --> 0:30:33.200
<v Speaker 8>to be honest with.

0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:35.560
<v Speaker 6>You, Yeah, that's something that I want to talk about

0:30:35.600 --> 0:30:36.920
<v Speaker 6>when we come back from break. I want to talk

0:30:36.920 --> 0:30:40.840
<v Speaker 6>about specifically the Cowboys offensive line and some pressures that

0:30:40.840 --> 0:30:43.360
<v Speaker 6>they've been giving up and how you guys assess their

0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:45.040
<v Speaker 6>play through the first two and how they match up

0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:46.000
<v Speaker 6>against his defensive front.

0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:48.080

<v Speaker 6>Studios at the Star, presented by lg Okay.

0:33:44.840 --> 0:33:45.480
<v Speaker 4>Here's what we're going to do.

0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:48.080
<v Speaker 6>Let's talk about this Cowboys offensive line because I think

0:33:48.520 --> 0:33:50.600
<v Speaker 6>as the season goes on, it's a storyline that we're

0:33:50.600 --> 0:33:52.960
<v Speaker 6>going to continue to follow because of the youth and

0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:56.240
<v Speaker 6>an experience of that line. Let's start first with Cooper BB.

0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:58.040
<v Speaker 6>Tell me what you've seen from him in the first

0:33:58.040 --> 0:34:01.000
<v Speaker 6>two games and where you assess his he is relative

0:34:01.040 --> 0:34:01.880
<v Speaker 6>to where you want.

0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:02.600
<v Speaker 4>Him to be at this point.

0:34:02.640 --> 0:34:04.400
<v Speaker 3>This might be wild to say. I think he's been

0:34:04.440 --> 0:34:06.840
<v Speaker 3>the most consistent guy up front, talking.

0:34:06.600 --> 0:34:08.520
<v Speaker 4>Off on the entire offensive line all five.

0:34:08.560 --> 0:34:10.720
<v Speaker 5>I think he's been the most consistent, more than Tyler.

0:34:10.880 --> 0:34:13.360
<v Speaker 3>More than Tyler, I think he's been more consistent, especially

0:34:13.360 --> 0:34:14.759
<v Speaker 3>in the run game as well. I think he's been

0:34:14.760 --> 0:34:16.640
<v Speaker 3>able to pay some ways there, but it's been the

0:34:16.640 --> 0:34:18.720
<v Speaker 3>pass game where it's the only the one pressure allowed

0:34:18.719 --> 0:34:19.920
<v Speaker 3>in sixty two dropbacks.

0:34:19.920 --> 0:34:21.919
<v Speaker 6>I think it's been I can I question a little

0:34:21.920 --> 0:34:24.719
<v Speaker 6>bit about Yeah, I agree with you. In the passing game,

0:34:24.760 --> 0:34:27.400
<v Speaker 6>I've seen some good things. I still think in the

0:34:27.480 --> 0:34:30.560
<v Speaker 6>running game he's not quite getting to the second level, like, yeah,

0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:33.439
<v Speaker 6>it's not. And I think there were actually a few

0:34:33.480 --> 0:34:35.319
<v Speaker 6>times in this last game it was actually both for

0:34:35.400 --> 0:34:38.319
<v Speaker 6>him and Tyler Geydon. I thought there were opportunities they

0:34:38.360 --> 0:34:40.799
<v Speaker 6>had in the run game if they one of them

0:34:40.840 --> 0:34:42.680
<v Speaker 6>would have gotten to the second level, like there's a

0:34:42.840 --> 0:34:44.960
<v Speaker 6>there's a linebacker there, and it's like both of them

0:34:44.960 --> 0:34:47.160
<v Speaker 6>are out there in space. They didn't get there, and

0:34:47.200 --> 0:34:49.880
<v Speaker 6>I'm like, if they would have gotten there on that play.

0:34:50.360 --> 0:34:52.560
<v Speaker 4>The first one was to I think it was to

0:34:52.719 --> 0:34:53.160
<v Speaker 4>t Rico.

0:34:53.400 --> 0:34:55.960
<v Speaker 6>It was early in the game and there was a

0:34:56.120 --> 0:34:58.239
<v Speaker 6>linebacker there and it was Tyler who was out there.

0:34:58.560 --> 0:35:00.200
<v Speaker 6>But if he could have gotten there and got in

0:35:00.239 --> 0:35:02.719
<v Speaker 6>that block, I think you spring him probably ten to

0:35:02.760 --> 0:35:03.560
<v Speaker 6>fifteen yards.

0:35:04.239 --> 0:35:05.560
<v Speaker 4>But that's the part of his game.

0:35:05.840 --> 0:35:07.759
<v Speaker 6>So when you say in the running game, I still

0:35:07.760 --> 0:35:09.959
<v Speaker 6>feel like he's not quite getting to the second level

0:35:10.000 --> 0:35:11.640
<v Speaker 6>like I want him to, and that's holding his running

0:35:11.640 --> 0:35:11.960
<v Speaker 6>game back.

0:35:12.080 --> 0:35:13.120
<v Speaker 5>I think that's a fair assessment.

0:35:13.160 --> 0:35:15.319
<v Speaker 3>I think overall, though, there hasn't been a lot to

0:35:15.480 --> 0:35:17.360
<v Speaker 3>pull away from the running game up front, and I

0:35:17.400 --> 0:35:20.160
<v Speaker 3>do understand what you mean from a Tyler Smith's perspective.

0:35:20.640 --> 0:35:23.400
<v Speaker 3>I think whenever you look at the product of what

0:35:23.440 --> 0:35:25.359
<v Speaker 3>he's being asked to do coming in as a third

0:35:25.440 --> 0:35:28.719
<v Speaker 3>round rookie, I think he's exceeded that really far going

0:35:28.760 --> 0:35:32.960
<v Speaker 3>into second game exactly two games. Yeah, the snaps have

0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:34.759
<v Speaker 3>been great, which that was the one thing we were

0:35:34.800 --> 0:35:37.360
<v Speaker 3>really worried about. I think at a point in the preseason,

0:35:37.719 --> 0:35:39.640
<v Speaker 3>there hasn't been anything where Dak's had to jump or

0:35:39.640 --> 0:35:41.760
<v Speaker 3>come back and it's messed up a handoff.

0:35:41.760 --> 0:35:43.600
<v Speaker 5>It's messed up timing, which is great.

0:35:43.800 --> 0:35:45.839
<v Speaker 3>I think whenever you look at consistency, I look at

0:35:45.840 --> 0:35:48.040
<v Speaker 3>BB as a guy who's just been consistent snap in

0:35:48.080 --> 0:35:50.000
<v Speaker 3>and snap out. Tyler Smith right there though for.

0:35:49.960 --> 0:35:52.120
<v Speaker 8>Sure, Yeah, you grade your sixty five plays and he

0:35:52.120 --> 0:35:54.200
<v Speaker 8>probably has three bad wins. There was a time when

0:35:54.239 --> 0:35:56.520
<v Speaker 8>they did the flip that down in the red zone

0:35:56.520 --> 0:35:58.680
<v Speaker 8>we were talking about, and I thought that I don't

0:35:58.680 --> 0:36:01.560
<v Speaker 8>know if Smith or BB maybe both of them went

0:36:01.600 --> 0:36:02.160
<v Speaker 8>the wrong way.

0:36:02.360 --> 0:36:03.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, maybe they.

0:36:03.000 --> 0:36:03.960
<v Speaker 4>Heard them play.

0:36:04.360 --> 0:36:05.760
<v Speaker 2>They both you know, it's.

0:36:05.560 --> 0:36:09.200
<v Speaker 8>Funny because Zach Martin stepped one way and took his

0:36:09.280 --> 0:36:12.040
<v Speaker 8>guy and then you know, the ball gets flipped to

0:36:12.080 --> 0:36:14.960
<v Speaker 8>the outside the zeke and you know there's both linebackers

0:36:15.040 --> 0:36:17.520
<v Speaker 8>are running him down and you're going, if you go

0:36:17.600 --> 0:36:20.680
<v Speaker 8>back and watch the play, it's like Smith and bbe

0:36:20.680 --> 0:36:23.560
<v Speaker 8>both stepped to their left as the ball's going to

0:36:23.600 --> 0:36:26.799
<v Speaker 8>the right, and you're going, something happened there. And then

0:36:26.880 --> 0:36:28.960
<v Speaker 8>we talk about with the Cleveland game, in the run

0:36:29.000 --> 0:36:31.960
<v Speaker 8>game where there were things and and Cory Moore, the

0:36:32.000 --> 0:36:35.920
<v Speaker 8>linebacker from you know here, Cory Moore, Roquan Smith. I mean,

0:36:35.960 --> 0:36:38.960
<v Speaker 8>you're you know, you're dealing with these linebackers. Now. If

0:36:39.000 --> 0:36:41.600
<v Speaker 8>you run, if you if you don't get take a

0:36:41.640 --> 0:36:44.080
<v Speaker 8>good angle, these linebackers are going to make the play.

0:36:44.120 --> 0:36:45.560
<v Speaker 8>And there was a couple of times I thought were

0:36:45.560 --> 0:36:48.759
<v Speaker 8>bb Bibe has been really I mean, if you say

0:36:48.800 --> 0:36:51.879
<v Speaker 8>the five guys, he he is in the top two.

0:36:52.640 --> 0:36:54.880
<v Speaker 8>As far as as as you're like, man, this is

0:36:55.520 --> 0:36:56.919
<v Speaker 8>this has been pretty good from him.

0:36:57.080 --> 0:36:59.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, you you you were worried, you were worried.

0:36:59.400 --> 0:37:02.480
<v Speaker 8>About him, and calls him making steps, him blocking guys,

0:37:02.560 --> 0:37:05.600
<v Speaker 8>him getting to the second level. The sixty five plays,

0:37:05.600 --> 0:37:07.200
<v Speaker 8>there's probably going to be three or four of them.

0:37:07.239 --> 0:37:09.439
<v Speaker 2>They're bad. You just hope that not ones that kill

0:37:09.520 --> 0:37:11.200
<v Speaker 2>you in the game, you know.

0:37:11.400 --> 0:37:14.440
<v Speaker 8>I mean I thought week one, if you start talking

0:37:14.480 --> 0:37:17.360
<v Speaker 8>about offensive lineman Steele was a much better player.

0:37:17.440 --> 0:37:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Last week, I didn't think he was as good. You know,

0:37:19.960 --> 0:37:20.440
<v Speaker 2>he kind of.

0:37:20.360 --> 0:37:22.800
<v Speaker 8>Got beat up a little bit, He got turned around

0:37:22.840 --> 0:37:25.520
<v Speaker 8>a little bit, you know, and Granderson took advantage of

0:37:25.560 --> 0:37:29.400
<v Speaker 8>him a couple of different times. So but if he said, hey,

0:37:29.000 --> 0:37:33.480
<v Speaker 8>who are the guys so far? I think Bbing and Smith,

0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:36.840
<v Speaker 8>Tyler Smith have been you know, been just fine for

0:37:36.960 --> 0:37:38.440
<v Speaker 8>you for those plays.

0:37:39.440 --> 0:37:40.640
<v Speaker 10>Not many complaints from me.

0:37:40.680 --> 0:37:44.520
<v Speaker 7>Again, when you look at him being selected picked in

0:37:44.560 --> 0:37:47.760
<v Speaker 7>the third round and what he's done so far, he's

0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:51.239
<v Speaker 7>exceeded expectations. In my eyes, I get it that we

0:37:51.320 --> 0:37:53.960
<v Speaker 7>need to take it up a notch, but that's not

0:37:54.120 --> 0:37:57.680
<v Speaker 7>just him, that's the line, the whole line as a whole.

0:37:58.440 --> 0:38:00.319
<v Speaker 7>We talked about the running game and all that and

0:38:00.360 --> 0:38:02.239
<v Speaker 7>the help that they need to be able to create

0:38:02.280 --> 0:38:05.600
<v Speaker 7>those holes for those running backs there, but him specifically,

0:38:06.000 --> 0:38:08.200
<v Speaker 7>I thought he's done a very good job. And one

0:38:08.239 --> 0:38:11.759
<v Speaker 7>of my main concerns with him and Tyler that we've

0:38:11.800 --> 0:38:14.840
<v Speaker 7>talked got in by the way that we talked about

0:38:15.480 --> 0:38:19.120
<v Speaker 7>last week heading into the I forgot or two weeks

0:38:19.120 --> 0:38:23.840
<v Speaker 7>ago whenever it was just penalties. I think he's handled

0:38:23.840 --> 0:38:27.120
<v Speaker 7>that area where he's not making those kinds of mistakes,

0:38:27.120 --> 0:38:30.040
<v Speaker 7>and for guys like him, rookies, those are things that

0:38:30.120 --> 0:38:32.920
<v Speaker 7>I personally pay a lot of attention to. Can you

0:38:32.960 --> 0:38:36.920
<v Speaker 7>minimize mistakes? And now is him getting to that next

0:38:37.040 --> 0:38:40.560
<v Speaker 7>level of taking it up another notch? But as far

0:38:40.560 --> 0:38:43.640
<v Speaker 7>as mistake, I think he's kept his game pretty clean.

0:38:43.840 --> 0:38:46.799
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, speaking of guy, I've noticed that he's had quite

0:38:46.840 --> 0:38:48.839
<v Speaker 6>a few pressures he's given up in Week one and

0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:50.959
<v Speaker 6>week two, And I heard this this morning.

0:38:51.040 --> 0:38:53.280
<v Speaker 4>It kind of puts it in context. For both these guys.

0:38:53.680 --> 0:38:56.239
<v Speaker 6>This is the first time in their careers that they're

0:38:56.239 --> 0:39:00.600
<v Speaker 6>playing the positions that they're playing significant Yeah, and it's

0:39:00.680 --> 0:39:03.799
<v Speaker 6>in the NFL versus real competition. So when you think

0:39:03.800 --> 0:39:06.640
<v Speaker 6>about it from that standpoint, I'm like, both these guys

0:39:06.640 --> 0:39:08.919
<v Speaker 6>are ahead of where they should be at this point.

0:39:08.960 --> 0:39:10.719
<v Speaker 6>I don't think either one of them is killing you

0:39:10.760 --> 0:39:14.080
<v Speaker 6>to the point where it's a problem. And yes, they

0:39:14.120 --> 0:39:15.920
<v Speaker 6>have some areas they have to improve on, but I

0:39:16.680 --> 0:39:19.840
<v Speaker 6>think you're getting enough from them to where you should

0:39:19.840 --> 0:39:22.960
<v Speaker 6>feel positive about where they're gonna be half the year,

0:39:23.040 --> 0:39:24.799
<v Speaker 6>this year, by the time you get to the end

0:39:24.800 --> 0:39:26.919
<v Speaker 6>of this year, and then going into next year, which

0:39:26.960 --> 0:39:28.759
<v Speaker 6>is really the thing. It's a long term game on

0:39:28.840 --> 0:39:31.399
<v Speaker 6>these two guys. But let's talk about Tyler Geyton. Now,

0:39:32.080 --> 0:39:34.040
<v Speaker 6>what have you seen from him and do you do

0:39:34.080 --> 0:39:36.279
<v Speaker 6>you think he's moving in the right direction? Are you

0:39:36.400 --> 0:39:39.120
<v Speaker 6>all concerned about the number of pressures that he's allowing.

0:39:40.480 --> 0:39:43.600
<v Speaker 3>For me personally, know just given the size of the

0:39:43.600 --> 0:39:45.959
<v Speaker 3>competition that he's gone up against these first two weeks.

0:39:46.000 --> 0:39:48.120
<v Speaker 3>And I think the thing that we were concerned about

0:39:48.160 --> 0:39:50.600
<v Speaker 3>the most at points during training campus, Okay, how is

0:39:50.640 --> 0:39:53.600
<v Speaker 3>he going to account for power rushers? Sure, and when

0:39:53.640 --> 0:39:56.400
<v Speaker 3>you look at Miles Garrett, Carl Granderson, Cameron Jordan, and

0:39:56.440 --> 0:39:58.520
<v Speaker 3>those guys that he had to go up against these

0:39:58.560 --> 0:40:02.200
<v Speaker 3>past two Sundays, you like what you see. I mean, absolutely,

0:40:02.280 --> 0:40:05.000
<v Speaker 3>the penalties are at least a note at this point,

0:40:05.040 --> 0:40:06.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going to call it a concern because it's

0:40:06.560 --> 0:40:08.960
<v Speaker 3>only two games. He's tied for fourth in the NFL

0:40:09.400 --> 0:40:13.560
<v Speaker 3>for offensive lineman penalties. But I think going forward there's

0:40:13.600 --> 0:40:16.800
<v Speaker 3>still a lot of I think you see him increase

0:40:17.200 --> 0:40:19.839
<v Speaker 3>in areas of his game every single week, and when

0:40:19.840 --> 0:40:21.920
<v Speaker 3>you look at week two versus Week one, Week one

0:40:22.000 --> 0:40:25.000
<v Speaker 3>was definitely the better overall picture. But I think there

0:40:25.000 --> 0:40:26.640
<v Speaker 3>are some things in Week two, like the hands are

0:40:26.840 --> 0:40:28.520
<v Speaker 3>starting to come in just a little Biteah, they're not,

0:40:28.840 --> 0:40:31.239
<v Speaker 3>They're not as wide. His feet are moving off the

0:40:31.239 --> 0:40:33.320
<v Speaker 3>ball a little bit quicker. And you know, that's what

0:40:33.440 --> 0:40:35.359
<v Speaker 3>I've always liked, from guiding to his ability to kind

0:40:35.360 --> 0:40:38.560
<v Speaker 3>of get off and create that separation. But I think

0:40:39.160 --> 0:40:40.560
<v Speaker 3>I think there's still a lot of things that he

0:40:40.600 --> 0:40:42.520
<v Speaker 3>can improve on still going towards into the season.

0:40:42.560 --> 0:40:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that week one was survival. That's all that was.

0:40:45.120 --> 0:40:47.040
<v Speaker 2>That was like, hey, you know, that's fair. I mean

0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:48.359
<v Speaker 2>that it was just like play.

0:40:48.360 --> 0:40:50.200
<v Speaker 5>The second half of the Saints game kind of looked

0:40:50.239 --> 0:40:50.640
<v Speaker 5>the same way.

0:40:50.680 --> 0:40:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was.

0:40:51.280 --> 0:40:53.279
<v Speaker 8>And that's what happens when you when all of a

0:40:53.280 --> 0:40:56.880
<v Speaker 8>sudden it turns into what it was was a track

0:40:57.000 --> 0:40:59.759
<v Speaker 8>meet and you have no running game to deal with

0:40:59.800 --> 0:41:01.880
<v Speaker 8>and have no way. But all you're doing is dropping

0:41:01.920 --> 0:41:03.759
<v Speaker 8>back and throwing the football and having to you know,

0:41:03.800 --> 0:41:06.279
<v Speaker 8>and they know you're going to That's how Dallas, when

0:41:06.360 --> 0:41:08.640
<v Speaker 8>Dallas gets ahead of the game, that's that's what That's

0:41:08.680 --> 0:41:10.600
<v Speaker 8>what they do to opponents. You know what the New

0:41:10.680 --> 0:41:13.120
<v Speaker 8>Orleans Saints that just okay, we're gonna rush, You're not

0:41:13.160 --> 0:41:15.279
<v Speaker 8>going to run the ball. And I think, to me,

0:41:15.440 --> 0:41:19.120
<v Speaker 8>where the technique has gotten better, the hands have gotten better,

0:41:19.160 --> 0:41:21.359
<v Speaker 8>He's got to work on the feet. The feet get

0:41:21.400 --> 0:41:23.960
<v Speaker 8>him in trouble sometimes where he gets but you know,

0:41:24.040 --> 0:41:26.319
<v Speaker 8>he's also going to work to not getting tired and

0:41:26.320 --> 0:41:28.840
<v Speaker 8>and and that happens that happens during games. You're just

0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:32.000
<v Speaker 8>you know, the pressure of every single snap is just

0:41:32.160 --> 0:41:34.680
<v Speaker 8>huge for these guys, and I think it wears him

0:41:34.680 --> 0:41:36.920
<v Speaker 8>down at times. And you know, he's he's he's gonna,

0:41:36.960 --> 0:41:40.160
<v Speaker 8>he's gonna develop mental toughness. You know that he can't

0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:42.359
<v Speaker 8>take a playoff, you can't rest on a play because

0:41:42.400 --> 0:41:44.239
<v Speaker 8>you'll you'll get the play blown up if you do.

0:41:45.000 --> 0:41:47.680
<v Speaker 8>But the technique is getting better, the mental toughness will

0:41:47.719 --> 0:41:50.560
<v Speaker 8>come along, and I think the kid will be fine.

0:41:50.800 --> 0:41:53.719
<v Speaker 8>It's just a matter of you know, him having confidence

0:41:53.800 --> 0:41:56.640
<v Speaker 8>that when he when he sets and gets away from

0:41:56.640 --> 0:41:58.359
<v Speaker 8>the line, that he's in good shape, that he can

0:41:58.360 --> 0:42:01.640
<v Speaker 8>get his hands inside and take care of that rusher

0:42:01.640 --> 0:42:03.400
<v Speaker 8>when it's on his u when it's coming down the

0:42:03.440 --> 0:42:04.200
<v Speaker 8>middle on him.

0:42:04.480 --> 0:42:05.720
<v Speaker 10>And this is a no brainer.

0:42:05.840 --> 0:42:10.520
<v Speaker 7>But I mean, again, speaking about rookies, you have to

0:42:10.520 --> 0:42:15.600
<v Speaker 7>take into consideration the aside from hand placement, footwork, that's

0:42:15.640 --> 0:42:20.080
<v Speaker 7>all gonna come with the experience. But also remember how

0:42:20.160 --> 0:42:24.400
<v Speaker 7>different the training and everything it is from college to

0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:27.480
<v Speaker 7>the NFL as far as strength, How much a player

0:42:27.560 --> 0:42:31.320
<v Speaker 7>from the first year to the second year changes in physical,

0:42:31.440 --> 0:42:34.839
<v Speaker 7>physical aspect and strength. So I think that's something that's

0:42:34.880 --> 0:42:37.279
<v Speaker 7>also kind of come along as and it goes hand

0:42:37.280 --> 0:42:39.640
<v Speaker 7>in hand with what Brian is saying, being out of breath,

0:42:39.680 --> 0:42:42.480
<v Speaker 7>being tired. They're gonna get used to that the more

0:42:42.520 --> 0:42:45.120
<v Speaker 7>and more they do it. But with that, in that

0:42:45.200 --> 0:42:48.520
<v Speaker 7>same token, he's gonna get more strength, same with Bebi

0:42:49.880 --> 0:42:52.680
<v Speaker 7>having being the one that has now the most power

0:42:52.840 --> 0:42:56.839
<v Speaker 7>in the line when facing these defensive players. So I

0:42:56.880 --> 0:43:00.200
<v Speaker 7>think they're gonna keep getting better as the sea and

0:43:00.280 --> 0:43:04.080
<v Speaker 7>goes along, but hopefully it comes with Cowboys wins, because

0:43:04.080 --> 0:43:06.359
<v Speaker 7>I think when you start losing these games and you're

0:43:06.400 --> 0:43:10.400
<v Speaker 7>just constantly getting beaten down, that's when you just all

0:43:11.200 --> 0:43:14.040
<v Speaker 7>get what's the word I'm looking for, just tire and

0:43:14.480 --> 0:43:18.399
<v Speaker 7>worn down and it just starts weight. Yeah, and it's

0:43:18.440 --> 0:43:21.520
<v Speaker 7>just it carries a different weight. So it's just harder

0:43:21.560 --> 0:43:25.480
<v Speaker 7>to overcome those things when you're not winning games and

0:43:25.640 --> 0:43:28.240
<v Speaker 7>constantly getting thrown on the ground or losing those battles.

0:43:28.280 --> 0:43:30.680
<v Speaker 7>So hopefully, with that being said, my point is hopefully

0:43:30.719 --> 0:43:31.560
<v Speaker 7>they win this weekend.

0:43:31.600 --> 0:43:33.640
<v Speaker 8>You know the thing about real quick though, the thing

0:43:33.680 --> 0:43:35.879
<v Speaker 8>with BB they've got, they're gonna have their hands full

0:43:35.920 --> 0:43:38.799
<v Speaker 8>with those guys inside. These are big, big men that

0:43:38.840 --> 0:43:41.000
<v Speaker 8>they're going to be dealing with and you know how

0:43:41.080 --> 0:43:44.400
<v Speaker 8>he plays. They they don't need to give up anything inside.

0:43:44.440 --> 0:43:47.080
<v Speaker 8>They need to be sound in the middle and make

0:43:47.120 --> 0:43:49.600
<v Speaker 8>sure they handle the edges in this thing. But they're

0:43:49.680 --> 0:43:51.640
<v Speaker 8>they're going to bb is going to be dealing with

0:43:51.680 --> 0:43:54.919
<v Speaker 8>a lot of power inside, and he's a strong guy too,

0:43:55.080 --> 0:43:56.959
<v Speaker 8>and this will be this will be a good test

0:43:57.000 --> 0:43:57.319
<v Speaker 8>for them.

0:43:57.480 --> 0:43:59.840
<v Speaker 3>I know that you had said you had some concern

0:44:00.239 --> 0:44:02.839
<v Speaker 3>about uh Oway, but do you have more concerns about

0:44:02.840 --> 0:44:04.759
<v Speaker 3>the interior or the edge guys here in this game?

0:44:04.920 --> 0:44:05.920
<v Speaker 5>For me, it's the interior.

0:44:06.480 --> 0:44:09.719
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I think that to me with well, considering that

0:44:09.800 --> 0:44:12.319
<v Speaker 8>I think I saw Away, you know, Colton Miller. I

0:44:12.360 --> 0:44:14.760
<v Speaker 8>was watching him with the Raiders and stuff, a veteran

0:44:15.239 --> 0:44:17.320
<v Speaker 8>left tackle, and he kind of took him to task,

0:44:17.400 --> 0:44:20.759
<v Speaker 8>and I was a little bit worried about about, you know,

0:44:20.920 --> 0:44:23.160
<v Speaker 8>with Geyton on that edge, if all of a sudden,

0:44:23.160 --> 0:44:24.960
<v Speaker 8>this guy gets into a little bit of a you know,

0:44:25.080 --> 0:44:29.120
<v Speaker 8>gets into a rhythm, you know. And but but the middle,

0:44:29.200 --> 0:44:31.400
<v Speaker 8>the middle is I think your better players are in

0:44:31.440 --> 0:44:33.960
<v Speaker 8>the middle. I mean, I think you're better, Your better

0:44:34.000 --> 0:44:36.840
<v Speaker 8>players are in the middle of this of the offense.

0:44:36.880 --> 0:44:39.520
<v Speaker 8>So yeah, I think that edge with Oway I I

0:44:39.719 --> 0:44:41.880
<v Speaker 8>just I don't want him to get into a rhythm.

0:44:41.920 --> 0:44:43.800
<v Speaker 8>And if Dallas can't run the ball and it turns

0:44:43.840 --> 0:44:46.680
<v Speaker 8>into Dak having to throw it thirty five times, I

0:44:46.760 --> 0:44:49.239
<v Speaker 8>don't need to him to have three and a half

0:44:49.320 --> 0:44:50.480
<v Speaker 8>sacks in this game.

0:44:50.560 --> 0:44:52.840
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that's part the worries you is that if Dallas

0:44:52.840 --> 0:44:55.080
<v Speaker 6>turns it into a game with having to throw a lot, Yeah,

0:44:55.200 --> 0:44:58.160
<v Speaker 6>then that just exposes Geyton even more. It puts a

0:44:58.160 --> 0:45:00.760
<v Speaker 6>lot of pressure on all those guys and still figure

0:45:00.800 --> 0:45:01.040
<v Speaker 6>it out.

0:45:01.120 --> 0:45:01.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:45:01.440 --> 0:45:02.920
<v Speaker 3>I will say one thing that I would really like

0:45:02.960 --> 0:45:06.400
<v Speaker 3>to see Dak work on if pressure does start get getting.

0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:07.480
<v Speaker 5>To him and this game, get out of there. Get

0:45:07.480 --> 0:45:07.920
<v Speaker 5>out of there.

0:45:08.160 --> 0:45:10.040
<v Speaker 3>He didn't get out of there enough against the Saints.

0:45:10.480 --> 0:45:11.799
<v Speaker 3>That was one of the first things that he said

0:45:11.840 --> 0:45:14.760
<v Speaker 3>in his press availability on after the game on Sundays.

0:45:14.800 --> 0:45:16.560
<v Speaker 3>He was like, one of the things I know I

0:45:16.600 --> 0:45:18.360
<v Speaker 3>can correct is kind of get out and use my

0:45:18.440 --> 0:45:20.000
<v Speaker 3>legs a little bit more. He was like, I did

0:45:20.040 --> 0:45:21.640
<v Speaker 3>a really good job of that last year, but I

0:45:21.680 --> 0:45:23.759
<v Speaker 3>didn't quite do that today. And so I think if

0:45:23.800 --> 0:45:25.520
<v Speaker 3>pressure starts to get to him earlier in the game,

0:45:25.960 --> 0:45:28.160
<v Speaker 3>hopefully he's able to use that athleticism.

0:45:27.719 --> 0:45:30.239
<v Speaker 6>It'll definitely slows down the defensive rush if you get

0:45:30.280 --> 0:45:31.239
<v Speaker 6>out of there and make.

0:45:31.160 --> 0:45:32.600
<v Speaker 5>Them pay for it, makes them think twice at the

0:45:32.640 --> 0:45:33.040
<v Speaker 5>very least.

0:45:33.040 --> 0:45:34.759
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, all right, we're gonna we'll be back.

0:45:35.400 --> 0:45:36.080

0:45:36.640 --> 0:45:40.840

0:45:40.880 --> 0:45:42.760

0:45:57.440 --> 0:45:58.680
