It is a Thursday edition 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:42.120 of Talking Cowboys presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company, the 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:45.640 official coffee of the Dallas Cowboys and officially the official 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.840 coffee of Isaiah Standback because it's the only coffee he'll drink. 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:52.760 But you needed a little extra shot this morning of espresso, 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:58.040 the Espresso Moca. Take it to the head. But it's 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.840 good though for coffee and rise to taste butts. I 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:03.760 liked it a lot. I went through. It got me 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:07.400 through my whole day yesterday. This is let listen to 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:08.880 this says a whole heck of a lot. I am 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:10.880 not a coffee guy. You were not. I am not, 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.160 and I am from Seattle, So that says a whole 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.399 heck of a lot. It means you're piky, very pick picky. 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:20.920 And this right here is it slapping slapping. I'll tell 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:26.319 you what. Let yo, that's good. I can do that. 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:27.800 There you go, I can do that. There you go, 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:33.640 all so smooth. I like this. I like the vocals. Okay, 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:35.840 you know what movie that's room got? Now don't Oh 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.600 what is it? It's coming to him? Oh I've seen that. 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:41.600 I just don't know that. You don't know. The soul glow. 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:51.880 That's how he looks, soul glow. Chris is love well. Sorry, 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.400 Beamer is in the back like audio mixing, trying to 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.840 make sure everything sounds good. But like I just said, 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.000 Chris Beam in the back, Isaiah stand back, all hyped 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.480 up on this espresso. We've got Patrick no C. Walker 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.600 about to give us news and notes IM Kyle Yeoman's 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.360 Cowboys taking on the Packers here in Week ten of 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.519 the NFL season. And the Packers of course, at three 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:12.520 and six, it's been at this appointing year for them 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.480 so far. The Cowboys at six and two and overachieving 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.320 year for them for most that would have thought at 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.399 this point in the season they would be six and two. 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.000 All right, let's get into news and notes though, because 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:28.639 we are previewing the Cowboys offense today versus the Packers defense. 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.120 That's Patrick's X factor matchup. It is but I want 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:33.640 to get to news and notes first so we can 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.880 get right into absolutely. So let's let's hit them with 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.600 the WW already, what would Rob do? Yes, Sir shuts 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:42.400 out to Rob Phillips, the island. We have quite a 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:46.440 bit actually, so let's leave with Ezekiel Elliott. All signs 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:50.080 continue to point to go for Ezekiel Elliott. However, Ezekiel 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:54.240 Elliott himself, when asked yesterday if he was ready for 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.520 Sunday's matchup, ready to return for Sunday's matchup against the Packers, 0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.919 he said, quote unquote, I don't know yet. I don't 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.320 know if that's gamesmanship or you know, and or you know. 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.440 Mike McCarthy having looked at him and said, you know 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.880 what you you know, you better not be the one 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:09.880 that puts that out there that you will be out there. 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.320 Let Green Bay try to figure out if you will 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:17.119 be in Like I said, gamesmanship, because on Tuesday, which 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.360 would have been the second time that Jerry Jones said 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.760 he expects Ezekiel Ellie to be out there, Yesterday in 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.720 the press conference, head coach Bright McCarthy said he's doing 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.639 very well, he looks good. He said he would return 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:30.720 to practice he did return to practice. He said that 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.240 his workloading practice would be managed. It was, but he 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.000 got a good bit of reps as well. So physically 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.000 and all things consider, it looks like Ezekiel Elliott is 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.880 still on track. But again he himself said, I don't know, 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.280 take that as gamesmanship or whatever you would like. We 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.280 will see how Thursday, Friday, and then of course Saturday 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:51.640 goes before the flight out. Some good news, Malie Hooker 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.280 and Sam Williams are both back to practice and they 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:58.120 were both full participants in Frindae. So he's huge for 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.360 getting after Aaron Rodd. Just like we talked about yesterday, 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:05.280 Massive massive Massive Noah Brown, who was inactive with a 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.920 foot injury against the Chicago Bears by week, did him 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.040 some good. He was back in practice yesterday as well. 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.840 I'll be limited, but he was back in practice. Donovan 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.880 Wilson was limited but with eight what was listed as 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.719 a tooth issue, So maybe a toothache, maybe had a 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.640 tooth extraction, whatever the case may be. Physically as far 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:28.560 as football ability and football health, I should say he's good. 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.280 Something happened with the tooth though, but he was still 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.440 like practice. And Anthony Barr did not practice, which was 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.960 expected based upon what McCarthy said in his press conference 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.960 was that at best bar would be limited on Wednesday, 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:41.920 but there's a good chance he'd stick with Britt Brown 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.520 and just do rehab work on that hamstring. So we 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:48.560 might see more of Damon Clark than anticipated, depending on 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:52.680 how the week progresses. For Anthony Barr. Last, but not least, 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:56.800 James Washington will get another week before he sees his 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.920 twenty one day window activated from ir Arthy explains it 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.440 as not any physical setback. McCarthy just doesn't like how 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.599 the schedule is set up as far as three games 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:10.200 in twelve days and the practice schedule in between those days. 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.520 He says it's not an optimal time to try to 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.479 drop a guy in off of IRUM, so take that 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.480 how you will. But again he says there's no physical 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.000 setback on James Washington. I'm just going to see how 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.120 that goes, which kind of segues to the other guy 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:27.240 that's outside the building, which is the obj Zeke and 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:32.280 Parsons both hit the campaign trail. Zeke enjoys today. Oh yeah, 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.640 well yeah, they're appounding stumps for for obj Zeke said specifically, 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.599 we want him, We want ob j end quote. Michael 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.920 Parsons said, uh, you want to win. Quote you want 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:46.480 to win, sugar honey, blank blank, I want to win too, 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:48.440 Come over here and help us get to this bowl. 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:52.840 End quote. So now you have Cole Boys players, franchise players, 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:57.200 cornerstone players lobbying for OBJ, and Dak would talk today, 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:01.080 rack in CD Dad talk today, You don't think so. 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.640 He'll probably talk him up and say maybe the most 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.279 political Sea university. Yeah, hey, OBJ is a great player, 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.240 but hey, we don't make those rules. We don't have 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:13.560 that kind of leeway. Yeah, we're going to focus on 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.160 who we are as a team and we're going to 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.800 get better in the locker room. That's what it will 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.400 look like today. But the fact that even Zeke, Zeke's 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:25.279 usually quiet, pretty quiet about that stuff too yesterday Mica 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.720 not so much. Mica likes to talk about stuff that 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:31.039 happens outside of the building, but Zeke, on the other hand, 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:36.000 will most of the time refrain to comment on any 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:37.839 of that kind of stuff. So the fact that he 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.800 said it yesterday certainly perked my interest. It's like, oh, Okay, 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:43.880 maybe this isn't just fans that are talking about this. 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:48.480 Maybe this is a wide range conversation. Um, very interesting. 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.920 Is that a bad thing to have offensive players commenting 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:57.200 and saying we need help on offense, especially a cornerstone, 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:00.000 a cornerstone guy like Zeke. Did he say we need help? 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:04.920 I mean, but he's asking for ye, I mean, you 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.120 just I mean it goes to the conversation that we 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.080 had earlier this week where I was just saying my 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.760 disappointment in the in this organization not making the move 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:17.080 with the trade deadline. Right, it's just that extra as 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.160 an offense as a team. And let me thinking about defensively, 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.000 those guys know that there's three rotations of defensive alignment. 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.800 Like that that confidence that you have not even only 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.560 just in yourself, but in your unit when you approach 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.800 the game and you know that that offensive line stands 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.560 zero chance. You know, if they're in a passing situation, 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.080 they it doesn't matter who's out there, these boys gonna 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.360 get that work. Like that gives your unit a whole 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.120 different confidence level, That gives your unit a whole different swag. 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.880 So offensively, no different in somebody than they like the 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:49.800 Kansas Cities of the worlds over the past years. And 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.880 now you think about like the miamis what they keep 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.280 doing in terms of adding to their offense. When you 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.360 know that you have that much firepower, like, make make 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.560 a decision, Make a decision, because the more are weapons 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.880 we have offensively, the less good personnel that you can 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.520 put on me. Right, you know what you think about, Zeke? 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.120 If I'm out there and we have eleven personnel and 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.000 all of a sudden, every single one of my receivers 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.600 are absolute goons, right, and then I have a solid 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.040 tight end or a couple of tight ends or whatever, 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:16.960 however many tight ends they want to use. Who are 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.360 you leaving in the box with me? Who are you 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.760 leaving here with me? Hopes and dreams? Yeah, so like 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.880 we want weapons, please, the more weapons we have, the 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.200 more guys that you have to spread out and go guard, 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.240 spread out there, go out there with those guys, and 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:30.920 you deal with me in this box. I agree. That's 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.920 exactly what I believe Ezekiel Elie is saying. He was 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.240 careful not to say need because I think he understands 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:41.760 they don't need OBJ a team like the Packers need Obje, 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.520 a team that the Cowboys wants OBJ. And that's what 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.680 Ezekiel saying here's here's his actual quote quote. We know 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.599 the type of player Odell is, We know how explosive 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.320 he can be and what he can be for this offense. 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.199 It'd be great to get him down here in Dallas. 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:59.480 Another weapon in our repertoire. We want him. So you 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.720 take that exactly at face value. He's saying exactly what 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:07.960 Isaiah is saying. We want our cup to over overflow, 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.360 runneth over. We want it to run it over. Our 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:14.160 cup runneth over the book. Right, much like on defense 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.320 they have that luxury. Offense doesn't have this moment. So 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.920 offense they want, you know, our cup runneth over. Let's 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.160 take it to the good book. That's what Ezekiel wants, 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.920 and that's what Michael Parsons wants for the offense, because 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.880 Michael Parsons also wants the offense to be able to 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.480 match serve personnel wise with what the defense brings up 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.080 the table because you don't know who to attack on defense, 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.040 who the scheme for, because you got a scheme for everybody. 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:39.040 Offense would can help the people real quick help the 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.760 help right now, you just admit it. Defense, our cup 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.920 running over run it's running over. Okay, even though we 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.400 lost one one dB Okay, we have another one steps up, 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.720 but our overall, our cup runneth over. Right, if you 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:54.200 have a cup runneth over, okay on offense as well, 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.520 or rifles help me out this morning. If you have 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.360 a cup running over on offense as well, know what, 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.480 that's two thirds of the game, right, huh. Automatically your 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.600 special teams now running over because now you have guys 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.079 that aren't playing as many snaps on offense and defense, 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.920 and they're more available to help out on special teams. 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:15.120 So guys that typically wouldn't play on special teams now 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.840 are accessible, and therefore you have a better special teams unit. 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.640 That means that you're one cup now soon turns into 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.320 three cups runneth over. And then we got number waterfall, 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.520 triple Cup, the triple cup, triple cup kind of like 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.480 the two milligrams. By the way, your eyes are popping 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:34.160 right now to come out a little that's good right now? Hit, 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.960 I want three cups running over, three coffee cups. Three 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.439 coffee cups. Cool. You ever seen somebody sit down with 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.160 three coffee cups? You know they're ready for game day? 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:48.240 Either that or a cardiac comfraction exactly, man, Yeah, that's 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:52.520 too yeah straight. You can see the shirt moving as 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:56.640 they sit still. Just do I think this is the 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:01.000 third straight day we've started the show early, a first 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.680 portion of the show and spent some time on Odell 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:07.000 Beckham Junior. We've spent some time on OBJ. And it's 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:10.080 funny because there's multiple headlines on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.079 right now about ob J. So the stories are bitten 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.480 being written even in the building. Outside of the building, 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:17.200 that's always going to happen. If there's a free agent, 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.920 they're gonna write about it. It doesn't always leak into 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.720 the Star. Dallas Cowboys dot Com doesn't always talk about 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:28.840 free agent possibilities. But here's the thing. The front office 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.400 and the players keep talking about it, right so it's 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:35.160 a conversation until they stop talking about it, and it's 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:38.600 continuously a conversation. At this point in time, it might 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:40.400 be one of the things we'd start the show with 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.480 tomorrow because Dak may say something or he may not 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.560 say something. Who knows. And then the same thing with 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.880 Ceedee Lamb if he talks today as well. So on 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:49.920 the dot com, I had to liven o'clock shameless plug. 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:54.200 The Science Lab will dive deep into all facets of 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:58.000 why the Cowboys should or should not sign OBJ, what 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.080 they should take into consideration. So coming at eleven o'clock. 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:04.360 So to Cow's point, we're talking about it because it's 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:08.280 it's viable and people inside of the building, they're on 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:11.160 the campaign. It's a thing. It is absolutely a thing. 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:14.680 All right, let's talk about the Cowboys offense versus the 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.920 Packers defense. Patrick said it earlier in the week, and 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.720 he said he was gonna save it. It's gonna save it. 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.439 There's a Science Lab of the article coming about OBJ. 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.320 Forget that, and I'm just kidding. I don't forget that. 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.480 Go read it, Go read it, Go read it. However, 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.520 this is some science too. It is based on the 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:35.400 fact that you've got an X factor matchup. This is 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.320 how the Cowboys are gonna win or lose this game. 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.120 I believe so, and I believe that defense is going 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.000 to do what they do. And you temper that a 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.400 little bit with I believe Aaron Rodgers is I don't 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.640 believe Aaron Rodgers is going to have two trash games 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.120 in a row. I said that on yesterday, So they 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.079 might have their hands full a little bit in that capacity, 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.079 but for me, I'm looking squarely at Deak Prescott and 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.160 this offense. We talked a little bit in News and 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.199 Notes about Ezekiel Elliott. Again all signs point to him 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.120 being available, but he said he doesn't know yet, So 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.760 question mark there until there's not a question mark there. 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.240 And what travels well, I say, a defense in the 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.079 run game if you're kind of if you're down your 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.240 franchise running back, and Tony Potter is going to have 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:15.079 to take another week of starting reps. He's going to 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.760 have to do it in what looks to be thirty 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.880 degree whether maybe a little bit colder because the temperature 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:22.720 isn't supposed to fall off of the cliff in the 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:26.439 next couple of days up in Green Bay, Dallas, right, 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.440 So you would hope Ezekiel Elliott is on the field 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.280 for that. So they can, you know, reunion, there's a 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.679 reunion of the tandem. But I would love to see 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.040 and I need to see Dak Prescott and this wide 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:43.360 receiver corps continue their upward trajectory that you saw start 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.920 to take hold in the second half against the Lions 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.200 really helped him jump out to a fast lead a 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.360 fast start on the Chicago Bears because they're going to 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.439 need to get a fast start against a Packers defense 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:59.040 that's better than the Bears and better than the Lions. Now, 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.560 does that mean they're a world beaters. No, but they 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.760 haven't allowed more than twenty seven points yet this season 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.360 and have only allowed twenty seven points on three occasions. 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:11.000 They're fifteenth in the league, so they're about par. So 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:14.360 they're not compost. They're not even bad. There you could 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:16.800 you could argue they're good. But here's the here's the thing. 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:20.960 They lose Rashaan Gary, major team leader in sex six 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:24.560 sacks gone off the table, third ranked in the NFL 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:28.200 as far as pressures on the quarterback gone. He's on 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.040 IR now. He was on the injury report yesterday. I 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:31.680 don't expect that he will be to day because he's 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.560 on IR. But let me go down. Their injury report 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.520 looks like a mass unit. Let's talk about there. Oh 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.880 my gosh, she's not wrong about that. I looked at 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:42.160 it yesterday and it's just DMP, dmpd DMP all the 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:45.360 way through. And we'll we'll focus on the defensive players 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:49.120 on this part. Chris Barnes, linebacker, rotational, but he's still 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:53.400 in concussion protocol. He did not practice. Devandre Campbell dealing 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:57.280 with a knee issue, did not practice. That's a starter, okay. 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.600 Rassue Douglass dealing with a calf issue. Corner back, he 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:04.000 was limited yesterday. We talked about Rashaun Garry. Let's see 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:09.120 Shamar Jean Charles ankle did not practice on yesterday. Who 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:14.520 else we got? Preston Smith oh neck issue, was limited 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.840 in practice. Eric Stokes ankle and need did not practice. 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:19.920 It looks like he's going to be out for several weeks. 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:24.560 These most of those players are just named are supposed 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:28.720 to be and our impact guys for the Packers. So 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:33.760 if they were par good enough to be average, you 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:37.280 lose key players, and or you have other players that 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.680 are dealing with major injuries who may or may not play, 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:41.840 and if they play, they may be well below one percent. 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.640 This is a situation Dak Prescott and the Cowboys need 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:46.920 to take advantage of get out on a fast start. 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:49.240 That's only going to help your defense, only gonna help 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.640 your special teams, and it's really going to force the 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.040 game onto Aaron Rodgers, which is like we said yesterday, 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:55.880 this is one of the few times you actually want 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.160 him to throw more than forty times. You're daring him 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:01.000 to do it. You don't want a Jones looks like 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.720 he'll play, but you don't want that game to be 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.880 close enough where the Packers running game matters because you're 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:09.920 still trying to figure out you run defense. I want 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.720 Dallas to run the ball, Fellers, and I think Dallas 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.640 can run the ball. It's cold, it's gonna be frigid, 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.040 fridgid out there, and when it's fridgid, you typically want 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:21.120 to keep the ball on the grounds. Things of brick, 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:25.360 trying to catch as many troubles as we've had defending 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:29.880 the run, they've had more. Yes, yeah, the Dallas Cowboys. 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.120 As I look at this list, it's twenty fourth in 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:35.560 the league and stopping the run. It's not good. Twenty 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:37.760 four out of thirty two. It's not good now, But 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.760 you know who's worse green Bay Green Bay Packers. Green 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:42.880 Bay Packers are twenty six in the league and stopping 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:46.920 the run. They are averaging one hundred and thirty eight 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:49.880 yards per game, and over the last three games are 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.600 averaging one hundred and forty five yards given up per gaming. 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:54.280 Do you know how many yards are giving up at home? 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:58.040 Kyle More one hundred and seventy five yards on the 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:01.240 ground at home on average, on average, one hundred and 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:05.080 seven hundred and seventy five. Don't disrespect the five cots. Okay, 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.680 So if there was going to be a plan of attack, 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:11.080 I say watch the Film Room and watch special Edition 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.960 number one, and we will help you guys understand. Asbody 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.040 get the plugs today. Yeah, I just help you understand, 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.320 especially Film Room, especially film you're a big fan of basketball, 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.240 watch us this weekend Ballet Spot Southwest. I've got the broadcast, 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.919 so you know, just throwing in their throbody was at 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:26.399 the bar yesterday and the yused to be pictures of 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.119 us on hit sticks. It was pretty cool. Hey, you 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.119 were at the bar attack? No, I definitely was. It 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:35.879 attacked the ground that way these guys, and we'll again 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:38.040 we'll see this on his on his but on on 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:41.560 Film Room. They run three down for the most part. Yeah, 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.680 and they run they and they have stand up defensive 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:49.440 ends primarily that's their base set. Three down. Big boys 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.119 in the middle. Okay, big boys in the middle. They 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:53.200 think they can clog things up with their three interior guys, 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.760 and then they have ye nine techniques that are usually 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:59.760 standing up. The last time we face this type of 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:06.960 d defense up front Los Angeles Rams, ooh, how do 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:09.760 we do against them? Ran the football quite well against them. Yeah, 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.200 I got the dub and ran the ball very freaking well, 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:15.840 he said Winston eat the dub. TP had had the 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.040 longest play from scrimmage right in terms of on the 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:20.840 ground this year in that game, Big Boy run, and 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:22.560 a lot of that came because of the fact that 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:26.200 the interior offensive line was able to handle the interior 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:28.920 defensive line of the Rams at that point in time. 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.400 They were able to get Donald just out the way 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:33.600 enough to be able to run tope this thing around. 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.879 And those defensive ends that are standing up like to 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:39.560 go outside because they their job primarily throughout most of 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.840 the game is to contain, contain, contain, contain well when 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:45.959 your job is already to contain as an offensive tackle 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:48.680 or as a tight end. Now you've made my job 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.880 that much easier because now I understand that primarily most 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:53.879 of the time, you're gonna go to one side of 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.120 my body. If you're going to one side of my body, 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:59.280 it's easy to scheme up run plays that then in 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.119 turn help you go ahead and migrate in the direction 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.199 that you're trying to go, which didn't turn. If I 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:07.200 can get my interior offensive alignment to then shield off 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.439 and wall off those interior defensive alignment, there is a 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:14.080 huge hole whichever direction I want to go. And then 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:16.000 when you have an eleven personnel and you get your 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.000 guys like Noah Brown back, So now you have a 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:21.719 CD lamp Michael gallup, Noah Brown, and then you have 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.280 a Scholtz or a hinder Shot or ferguson whoever else 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.640 you want to throw in there. All right, mum, what's 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:30.439 the fourth one? M sho mckewen. Okay, you have those 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:32.520 guys at a tight end position. Now you're spreading this 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.840 defense out. So if I'm spreading this defensive out and 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.960 I already have these ends that are standing up and outside, 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:42.800 who's in the freaking middle of the offensive other defensive line? Oh, 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:45.480 there's not much second level support. So if you can 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:47.879 take care of those first five guys on the front line, 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.919 there is hardly any support at the second level. And 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:53.640 if your receivers are willing and capable to go out 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:57.280 there and block in the secondary there now, run support 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:01.879 is now neutralized one and you have huge running gaps 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:04.040 in running lanes to be able to take advantage of. 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:08.639 I'm looking forward to Dallas destroying this defensive front of 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:11.400 the Green eight Packers, especially with their number one pass rush. 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:13.640 You're gone. I don't even want to have to say 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:15.440 that we have to even throw the ball much this game. 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:17.920 It should be a ground. I'm looking forward to seeing 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:19.800 one hundred and seventy five yards like they give up 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:22.280 on average at home. I'm looking forward to seeing Dallas 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:23.960 put up at least one seventy five on the ground. 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:26.280 I'm leaning towards two hundred. But so nor do you 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:28.200 want to have to throw the ball, especially in those 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:30.879 frigid temperatures, because, as you know, trying to catch a 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:33.560 ball in those temps, that's a brick, that's that thing 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:37.920 burns on impact. But the thing is, to your point, 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:42.920 the Packers defense is similar in their strength and weakness 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:45.520 to the Cowboys defense, but they're not as good in 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:48.680 either of those categories. So bually they're better in terms 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:50.280 of stop in the past. No, that's what I was 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:52.520 going to go to. But they don't take the ball away. 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:54.040 That's what I mean. They don't get the ball away 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:56.560 as well as the Cowboys secondary does, so they're not 0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:59.399 forcing fumbles. They're not getting you know, interceptions as far 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:04.000 as the backs and the safeties are concerned. So they 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:06.840 cover will but they don't take the ball away as well. 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:10.480 They don't have run defense as you mentioned. So the 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:14.400 formula is right there for you, and it's not so coincidentally. 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:17.880 It's the same formula that you should adhere to each week, 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:21.320 which is stick to the run, but especially now freezing 0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:26.120 temperatures on the road, hostile territory, hand the ball off 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:28.280 and then guess what that sets up in Isaiah's gonna 0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:33.679 love this the play enough with the trick plays Kellen, 0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:38.600 run the dang ball, run the ball now, uh La 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.040 that front you mentioned, I was curious to see, like 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:43.240 what their numbers were in certain in terms of stopping 0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:45.639 the run. Dallas ran for one sixty three on the 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:49.000 rams in week five, and a very similar front, but 0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:51.040 a front that could actually stop the run. They're fourth 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:53.439 in the NFL right now with allowing only ninety eight 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:57.080 rushing arts per game. So a similar front. Dallas dissected it, 0:21:57.160 --> 0:21:59.320 sliced it right up and now you're playing a team 0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:02.440 that runs a very similar scheme defensively and they can't 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:05.080 stop the run, so you might as well run for 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:08.040 two hundred. I need that two hundred. I'm calling it 0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:11.520 two hundred. I need one. Hey, I need one seventy five. 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:14.400 I want two hundred. I'm saying it with my chest 0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:17.520 a day early. Get Dallas Cowboys are going to get 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:21.159 one seventy five, and I want them to get two hundred. 0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:23.160 On the ground, I'm trying to on the ground. I'm 0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:25.080 trying to push you too. Yeah, no, no no, no, no, 0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:28.040 I want I want Dakota Prescott to throw for one 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.680 forty five, and I want for Zeke and TP to 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:34.240 rush for over two hundred. That was very similar to 0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:36.520 the stat line, very similar to the stat line the 0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:38.600 Cooper rush had against the Rams. He had one out 0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:41.080 two and he only threw it sixteen times. Did it work? 0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:45.800 Ten for sixteen one o two? Did it work? It worked? 0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:49.480 So when we come back, what does dak Prescott need 0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:52.000 to do to increase the confidence in the passing game 0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:56.000 moving forward? Or is this just all run, run, run, 0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:58.800 baby run when we come back.

Yeah, but you're a coffee drinker, so 0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:17.440 like it surprised me that much, but like I'm not, 0:26:17.600 --> 0:26:20.360 and I typically hate coffee.

So yeah, Patrick, we're selling, We're selling, 0:26:39.880 --> 0:26:42.280 touching up untied market right now. I'm still not a 0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:48.280 coffee guy, dude, try this. No drives one of those two. 0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:50.040 He's not a coffee guy either. He just did it. 0:26:50.359 --> 0:26:53.159 I'm not a kid and I'm not coffee sitting here 0:26:53.160 --> 0:26:55.399 watching his eyes fall out onto his cheek bones. Doesn't 0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:59.520 that sound great? Out of the don't that sound cheek 0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:02.439 bones right now? And speaking go? I love it. I 0:27:02.440 --> 0:27:07.840 mean I used to be prom king load my refrigerator. 0:27:07.880 --> 0:27:11.359 All right, let's go, all right, TDS ready to drinks. 0:27:11.560 --> 0:27:14.080 You think you think Dak Prescott hyped up on his 0:27:14.080 --> 0:27:15.919 coffee this week? He better be all jacked up on 0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:17.920 Black Rifle Coffee Company because he has a game to 0:27:17.920 --> 0:27:20.120 go out there and win. Yeah, yep, do you think 0:27:20.240 --> 0:27:24.320 he throws for less than twenty attempts this week? I 0:27:24.359 --> 0:27:27.160 think it's possible. Kellen Moore would never allow that here. Okay, 0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:31.439 less than twenty five, I think twenty four. Okay, what 0:27:31.520 --> 0:27:33.679 do you think? I'll go with twenty five? And I 0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:36.720 think that this is going against a run defenses. Pors 0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:38.879 is this? I think this is a perfect week to 0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:43.600 see some misssip state. Yeah, a little bit of read option. 0:27:43.640 --> 0:27:45.520 We saw that against the Bearers and that you know 0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:49.080 that was it the second touchdown drive. Yeah, second touchdown 0:27:49.160 --> 0:27:52.080 drive for Dak Prescott. So we got some RPO jumping 0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:54.680 off here in Dallas. Again, you're going against one of 0:27:54.720 --> 0:27:56.600 the worst defenses in the league as far as stopping 0:27:56.640 --> 0:27:59.760 the run, why not joined Tony Poll and hopefully Ezekiel 0:27:59.840 --> 0:28:02.520 l and you know, using those legs, they're one of 0:28:02.560 --> 0:28:04.959 the best. That's stopping the past too. Like I mentioned 0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:07.320 in that last segment and Patrick alluded to it as well. 0:28:07.359 --> 0:28:09.479 But they're sixth in the league in terms of passing 0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:14.760 yards allowed per game per game. They thankfully for the Cowboys, 0:28:14.760 --> 0:28:16.320 they don't take the ball away much, but they do 0:28:16.400 --> 0:28:18.680 come well. And I mean, in speaking of takeaway, he's 0:28:18.680 --> 0:28:21.080 got to keep an eye out on on quay Walker 0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:24.200 gold Dogs h. He has two forced fumbles back there 0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:27.000 in the linebacker corps, so if he gets near you took. 0:28:27.520 --> 0:28:29.879 Did they have anybody else back there? Though? Is there 0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:32.359 anybody else that's really scary on the back side of 0:28:32.359 --> 0:28:34.159 that defense? I mean, I'm looking at these names, and 0:28:34.400 --> 0:28:36.160 I remember some of these guys from the draft show 0:28:36.240 --> 0:28:41.360 some respect. Alexander's name, Yeah, Alexander on the corner phenomenal. 0:28:41.640 --> 0:28:47.200 I think Jayar Alexander is really really recording his name. 0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:49.680 And Darnell Savage back there, and to say, heck of 0:28:49.760 --> 0:28:54.200 a name, and he has a safety too. It's appropriate, Darnell. 0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:56.280 Didn't they just who? They just they just claimed uh, 0:28:56.400 --> 0:28:58.800 no one. I'll take that best. Yeah, they did just 0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:01.440 claimed diab Now that's interesting. I'm glad you brought it 0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:03.760 up because it'll be interesting to see if Abram is 0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:06.520 on the field this Sunday. They claimed him yesterday after 0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:10.400 he was released by the Raiders. And and I say 0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:13.360 this having been high on Abram coming out of the draft, 0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:15.320 but he was He had a similar skill set to 0:29:15.360 --> 0:29:19.120 Donovan Wilson here in Dallas, except Donovan's trajectory has been 0:29:19.160 --> 0:29:22.480 refined greatly by being coached by Dan Quinn and Al Harrison, 0:29:22.520 --> 0:29:25.240 those guys, Whereas Jonathan Abram is as raw as he 0:29:25.440 --> 0:29:28.520 was going into the draft that year. So I actually 0:29:28.760 --> 0:29:32.440 hope that he plays for the Packers because in coverage, 0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:34.320 we'll talk about how well they coverage. In coverage, he's 0:29:34.320 --> 0:29:36.200 a liability and even as a run stopper, when you 0:29:36.280 --> 0:29:37.720 drop him down into the box and ask him to 0:29:37.760 --> 0:29:42.080 stop the run, he consistently over pursues consistently. So Packers, 0:29:42.080 --> 0:29:44.480 if you're listening, Uh, it's a great week to get 0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:47.040 Jonathan Abram mixed in. Go ahead, do it, do it? 0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:50.160 Do it? Do it? Do it? Would you not do it? Well? 0:29:50.200 --> 0:29:52.680 You know he'll be on teams, yeah, because his former 0:29:53.040 --> 0:29:56.960 head coach is the special teams coordinator. Do it good point. 0:29:57.000 --> 0:29:59.080 They got a whole week to prep. The Cowboys traded 0:29:59.160 --> 0:30:02.280 for Hankins and had him on the field. Is it 0:30:02.320 --> 0:30:05.560 different for a defensive tackle though, where your job is 0:30:05.600 --> 0:30:09.800 to take up multiple gaps, eat up space, and run forward. 0:30:10.360 --> 0:30:13.320 Whereas safety safety, you've got a lot more to think about. 0:30:13.320 --> 0:30:17.520 You literally go to the right, and he's not a 0:30:17.560 --> 0:30:21.280 free he's a strong so it's not much different, same, same, 0:30:21.560 --> 0:30:24.080 same concept. They put him on the field and say, hey, 0:30:24.120 --> 0:30:25.880 you're out there to help us with run support. Ye 0:30:25.880 --> 0:30:27.840 out there to help kind of seal, to teach you 0:30:27.880 --> 0:30:30.920 a couple of signals combos man on like it's a 0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:33.640 hand full of signals. He doesn't have to know the scheme. 0:30:33.640 --> 0:30:35.880 All he has to do is be when they call it. Okay, 0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:37.760 be near that guy with the dot on his helmet, 0:30:38.000 --> 0:30:40.240 and he'll tell him this is what you got. Cool. 0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:43.600 I'm curious, just because of this conversation, what's the hardest 0:30:43.640 --> 0:30:47.800 defensive position for a player to get into a new 0:30:47.840 --> 0:30:50.400 situation than immediately you don't have to. I was just 0:30:50.440 --> 0:30:53.120 about to say, my middle it's Mike. It's Mike. I 0:30:53.200 --> 0:30:57.680 was thinking linebacker too, at any level, but Mike specifically specifically, Yeah, 0:30:57.680 --> 0:30:59.800 because you a lot of times you are the green dot. 0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:01.680 You're responsible, you are the green doctor. You're the one 0:31:01.760 --> 0:31:04.480 relaying you know, the play calls from the coordinator to 0:31:04.520 --> 0:31:06.400 the to the unit and everything, and you have to 0:31:06.440 --> 0:31:10.680 be equally responsible and accountable for your pre snap reads 0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:13.560 and how you react because if you make the wrong 0:31:13.600 --> 0:31:15.400 decision and you leave the middle of that field wide 0:31:15.440 --> 0:31:18.120 open and consistently team's gonna pay for it, so Mike. 0:31:18.360 --> 0:31:20.680 For me, it's got to be Mike. It's definitely Mike. Okay, 0:31:21.040 --> 0:31:24.400 just curious about it. So with all of that being said, 0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:28.120 and we've kind of mentioned this previously about the running 0:31:28.120 --> 0:31:31.120 ability of Dak Prescott and how he could use his legs, 0:31:32.120 --> 0:31:35.400 there's a good contingency of people out there that want 0:31:35.480 --> 0:31:38.920 him to save that for later, save it for when 0:31:38.960 --> 0:31:42.080 it matters. You run now when you really need to, 0:31:42.960 --> 0:31:45.720 but then wait later. On what I'm not saying, I 0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:49.120 believe this. Don't listen, don't look at me like what 0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:52.120 you don't think. So there are people out there that 0:31:52.160 --> 0:31:54.360 don't want Dak Prescott the rival ball get it. And 0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:56.480 because there's a lot of people out there that don't 0:31:56.480 --> 0:31:58.720 want to, they want him to take the Tyler Lockett approach. 0:31:58.800 --> 0:32:01.400 Just freaking dive in a grenade every time, the balls 0:32:01.440 --> 0:32:04.040 in your hand, protect yourself, protect your body. Don't have 0:32:04.080 --> 0:32:07.640 any exactly remotely close to what happened. Huh. I'm fine 0:32:07.640 --> 0:32:12.000 with him. Pretty when you see when you see green, 0:32:13.240 --> 0:32:15.800 the green this is we talked about Batman see, but 0:32:15.960 --> 0:32:18.640 we talked about that's not necessarily and Josh Allen sees 0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:23.600 Green takes Green correct. I'm not necessarily saying that. I'm saying, yes, 0:32:23.680 --> 0:32:25.560 you can run the football when there's an open space. 0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:28.640 He did it against Chicago, He's done it throughout, but 0:32:28.800 --> 0:32:32.560 designed runs on the read options and the RPOs. Save 0:32:32.640 --> 0:32:37.400 that for later, right, why, I mean to maybe keep 0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:41.480 it as an undeveloped part of your an uncovered part 0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:44.280 of your game. Change keep that, keep that bag a 0:32:44.280 --> 0:32:48.360 little bit fuller going into off. They have they have 0:32:48.440 --> 0:32:50.440 something good one, but they have they already have something 0:32:50.480 --> 0:32:52.560 in their bag. They haven't exposed it, which is Cavante 0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:55.280 Turpin's section of plays in the playbook that has yet 0:32:55.320 --> 0:32:58.160 to be exposed. I don't know about that. That's not okay. 0:32:58.200 --> 0:33:00.360 I don't know about that. That's not a shown time 0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:03.560 he's in the game. Who's getting the ball? Yeah, but 0:33:03.600 --> 0:33:07.400 what is he getting the ball on sweeps? Okay? About 0:33:07.440 --> 0:33:11.520 it goes to my point, Yeah, I guarantee you him crack. 0:33:11.600 --> 0:33:14.040 There's more than who plays down and I want to 0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:15.880 see him crack. Back to say, I'm just saying there's 0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:18.600 more than two players in the Turpin set. Agree, I 0:33:18.680 --> 0:33:21.040 think I understand the one you sit on unless and 0:33:21.120 --> 0:33:22.560 I say this, that's the one you sit on unless 0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:23.760 you have to because you don't want to put that 0:33:23.880 --> 0:33:27.160 on film. But you know Dak using his legs RPOs. 0:33:27.200 --> 0:33:30.760 I'm not saying go full RPO crazy, but if you 0:33:30.880 --> 0:33:33.000 get him three or four RPOs in a game, that's 0:33:33.080 --> 0:33:35.440 enough to keep the opposing defense off balance and not 0:33:35.800 --> 0:33:39.200 enough for teams to consistently scheme against it. And honestly, 0:33:39.720 --> 0:33:41.560 I wouldn't be mad if they had to scheme against it. 0:33:41.640 --> 0:33:42.960 This is one more thing for them to have to 0:33:43.000 --> 0:33:47.440 worry about. Okay, what are you thinking. I don't have 0:33:47.520 --> 0:33:50.280 a problem to miss. I don't have a problem with 0:33:50.440 --> 0:33:53.560 RPO because Aaron Rodgers runs more RPO than probably anybody. Right, 0:33:54.320 --> 0:33:59.600 it's the he's just run exactly right. Run pass option 0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:02.680 does not mean a quarterback has to pass. So it's 0:34:02.680 --> 0:34:04.920 a run pass option. Okay, so it's a running player 0:34:04.920 --> 0:34:07.880 that I capped it all or I can throw it right. 0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:10.719 When you started talking about Philadelphia and Baltimore, that's a 0:34:10.760 --> 0:34:13.759 different version of the RPO, which is heavily leaned on 0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:17.000 on exactly right. So that's a quarterback running it should 0:34:17.040 --> 0:34:23.600 be q q R. I understand people's hesitation, and I 0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:26.520 get people's restraint in terms of them not wanting to 0:34:26.800 --> 0:34:30.480 expose Dak Prescott to potentially being injured in a situation 0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:33.360 that's avoidable. Why why put him in a position of 0:34:33.440 --> 0:34:35.560 harm when you could have you have two running backs 0:34:35.600 --> 0:34:37.560 that do that right, like like you have other guys 0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:39.440 that can do it. I get it. Sometimes you slide, 0:34:39.480 --> 0:34:41.560 but last time, you know, he got tackled in open 0:34:41.600 --> 0:34:43.880 field like that. Things didn't necessarily go his way. So 0:34:44.440 --> 0:34:49.160 I get it. I'm with you people. I think that 0:34:49.320 --> 0:34:51.799 you have to keep it as a curveball. I think 0:34:51.840 --> 0:34:53.200 you use it as a curb I think as a 0:34:53.239 --> 0:34:55.400 as curveball, as a change up. It's a slider or 0:34:55.440 --> 0:34:57.399 whatever you want to call it, but it's a little 0:34:57.440 --> 0:34:59.080 one that you sneak in there. Every so often you 0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:00.840 get down in the reds under the black zone and 0:35:00.840 --> 0:35:02.759 you need to your little play action. Tell him to 0:35:02.800 --> 0:35:04.600 keep it right, you tell him in his headset, he 0:35:04.840 --> 0:35:07.640 called to play the same. My coaches do this in college. Hey, 0:35:07.760 --> 0:35:09.320 this is a play call. You know, this is a 0:35:09.400 --> 0:35:12.759 typical run. Keep it nobody needs to know. Keep it right. 0:35:12.960 --> 0:35:14.839 Boot out of that thing and running to the dog 0:35:14.920 --> 0:35:16.320 in corner of the end zone. If you if you 0:35:16.440 --> 0:35:19.120 somebody's sitting there. Wait, now you slide, get down. We'll 0:35:19.160 --> 0:35:21.239 live with with the negative play. I think you have 0:35:21.360 --> 0:35:22.800 to have those in there from time to time. But 0:35:22.880 --> 0:35:25.960 in terms of him running design runs, I don't want 0:35:25.960 --> 0:35:29.000 to see more than five design runs plays for set 0:35:29.000 --> 0:35:30.719 it three or four. Yeah, yeah, so three or four. 0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:32.960 I'm with that. I'm with that out of out of 0:35:32.960 --> 0:35:35.879 if I run sixty plays on the offensive day, three 0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:40.320 players for Dak cool five, you're pushing it. You're pushing it. 0:35:40.440 --> 0:35:43.080 I wouldn't even go to faust. Okay, yeah, exactly, three 0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:44.839 to four. That's where I would keep it at. Yeah, 0:35:44.840 --> 0:35:46.040 that's why I keep it out But you have to 0:35:46.120 --> 0:35:47.759 have those plays in there because you have to make 0:35:47.880 --> 0:35:52.040 the defenses respect him still being Yeah, keep it in mind, Geo, 0:35:52.239 --> 0:35:54.319 keep it in mind moving forward, because it certainly could 0:35:54.400 --> 0:35:57.319 be something that the Cowboys maybe unveil more and more 0:35:57.360 --> 0:35:59.160 as the season goes along, and maybe he gets more 0:35:59.200 --> 0:36:01.320 comfortable running football a little bit. It's like you, just 0:36:01.440 --> 0:36:03.400 like you, you know, color commentating car you know you 0:36:03.760 --> 0:36:05.360 sometimes you get into boobs and let people know what 0:36:05.480 --> 0:36:07.520 your capable. That's what I'm doing on Saturday. I know 0:36:07.560 --> 0:36:10.399 a pickleball and all that. You know you go pickle ball. 0:36:10.400 --> 0:36:12.480 I want to see you commentator pickleball combat. Oh I 0:36:12.520 --> 0:36:15.040 would rock that. I know you would. It would be awesome. 0:36:15.320 --> 0:36:17.880 Let's do it. Somebody, somebody out there, if you have 0:36:17.960 --> 0:36:20.480 a pickleball broadcast me and I zoom. You want to 0:36:20.520 --> 0:36:23.680 call it? All right, let's take our second break. When 0:36:23.719 --> 0:36:26.680 we come back, let's talk about the impact that Mike 0:36:26.800 --> 0:36:30.000 McCarthy could potentially have on this offensive scheme. Heading into 0:36:30.000 --> 0:36:32.920 the Green Bay game. Right after this, with more talking cowboys, 0:36:34.560 --> 0:36:36.239 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:36:36.320 --> 0:36:39.239 Cheetah Savanna.

It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he 0:36:50.120 --> 0:36:52.160 learned the best thing to do is stop running and 0:36:52.480 --> 0:36:54.960 toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and 0:36:55.000 --> 0:36:59.040 T five G fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated.

I had 0:40:01.400 --> 0:40:05.319 one pair of organ Yeah, the one pair I've got, 0:40:05.440 --> 0:40:07.480 the reflective ones that I've got that I were on 0:40:07.560 --> 0:40:11.319 the preseason game last year.

Oh no, my first pair 0:40:15.800 --> 0:40:19.200 wasn't until late high school when I started working, because 0:40:19.239 --> 0:40:22.560 before then, listen, poverty is a real thing. Yeah, did 0:40:22.560 --> 0:40:24.680 you have a pair of Jay's Beamer? Of course? I 0:40:24.760 --> 0:40:29.719 did my court for Nike.

Back in the day, Oh well, 0:40:58.440 --> 0:41:01.200 it was payless and rec room. Yeah, those are the 0:41:01.280 --> 0:41:03.279 two that I used to hit time. Let's play less 0:41:03.280 --> 0:41:07.200 in rec it was a hardware story called Chubby and Tubbies, 0:41:07.320 --> 0:41:10.320 Oh my gosh, and the days Saran wrapped his shoes 0:41:10.400 --> 0:41:13.200 and on the show. In the back of the hardware story, 0:41:14.000 --> 0:41:15.719 you got a couple of pills from From. We called it. 0:41:15.800 --> 0:41:17.839 We called it the Salve but Salvation Army shouts out 0:41:17.840 --> 0:41:21.080 the Salvation from as well already, right, so I shoot 0:41:21.080 --> 0:41:23.759 a game and go donate. Didn't get the leveled up 0:41:23.800 --> 0:41:26.239 until I started working in late high school. Yeah, and 0:41:26.320 --> 0:41:30.400 I was like, I'm tired of being bro tired with this, 0:41:30.719 --> 0:41:37.160 tired of being poor before Yeah, I was right at 0:41:37.200 --> 0:41:39.760 the tail and all the shoes. There was no boxes. 0:41:40.200 --> 0:41:46.719 They're all just tied together. Super Yeah. That was my 0:41:46.840 --> 0:41:48.800 final two minutes here of the show. I want to 0:41:48.840 --> 0:41:51.040 hit Mike McCarthy. We're gonna hit it in depth tomorrow. 0:41:51.080 --> 0:41:53.520 Don't worry like nobody's been talking about that. We talked 0:41:53.560 --> 0:41:56.360 about it early, talked about it in month like Monday. 0:41:56.600 --> 0:41:58.120 I haven't really talked about it at a time, but 0:41:58.160 --> 0:42:00.560 I want to talk about it tomorrow more. And would 0:42:00.560 --> 0:42:02.640 say it was your chess Friday, because you talk about 0:42:02.680 --> 0:42:04.720 a matchup you're looking for, it's gonna be Mike McCarthy 0:42:04.760 --> 0:42:07.200 and Aaron Rodgers. That's gonna be one of the marquee 0:42:07.239 --> 0:42:10.360 matchups of the NFL week. But how much of an 0:42:10.400 --> 0:42:13.239 effect can he have on the Dallas offense and the 0:42:13.320 --> 0:42:16.040 success that he that they have against the Packers defense. 0:42:16.280 --> 0:42:19.000 Is there anything that lingers over from his time there 0:42:19.520 --> 0:42:23.920 in that regard? I don't know, Probably not. I think so, Yes, 0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:27.480 there's one thing that does. Okay. I think he obviously 0:42:27.520 --> 0:42:30.360 wants to win the ballgame for obvious reasons. It's obviously 0:42:30.800 --> 0:42:33.839 the season's going wellvin Cowboys, and then obviously he wants 0:42:33.880 --> 0:42:36.600 to give it to the Packers because you know he's 0:42:36.719 --> 0:42:38.480 no longer there. Yeah, give him a little little na 0:42:39.840 --> 0:42:42.520 I mean you want to, you wanna you want to 0:42:42.560 --> 0:42:44.920 give him, give them that work, but you know, respectfully, 0:42:45.600 --> 0:42:49.680 respectfully give him network. There's there's been a lot of 0:42:49.840 --> 0:42:53.680 change um in Green Bay obviously since since Mike McCarthy 0:42:53.880 --> 0:42:56.520 was fired. But one thing that hasn't changed, it's the quarterback. 0:42:57.000 --> 0:42:59.920 Quarterback still there. This is a quarterback that Mike McCarthy 0:43:00.160 --> 0:43:05.200 knows very very well, and there's nothing. You know, Aaron 0:43:05.280 --> 0:43:09.040 Rodgers isn't doing anything new in twenty twenty two, in 0:43:09.120 --> 0:43:12.400 twenty twenty one, then when he was being coached by 0:43:12.440 --> 0:43:14.640 Mike McCarthy. Right at this point in the game, he's 0:43:14.640 --> 0:43:17.000 a future Hall of Famer, he's a you know, a 0:43:17.080 --> 0:43:19.400 former MVP raining the MVP I whever you want to 0:43:19.400 --> 0:43:22.400 look at it two times. So he's not going to 0:43:22.480 --> 0:43:24.520 put any new tricks out of the bag. There's nothing 0:43:24.600 --> 0:43:28.000 that Aaron Rodgers could do on Sunday that Mike McCarthy 0:43:28.080 --> 0:43:32.440 hasn't seen and isn't planning against, isn't helping Dan Quinny 0:43:32.520 --> 0:43:35.359 that defense scheme against and on top of that, from 0:43:35.360 --> 0:43:37.719 a defensive side of the Ball. We mentioned it in 0:43:37.800 --> 0:43:41.640 Anthony Barr. Even if Anthony Barr cannot go or is 0:43:41.680 --> 0:43:44.399 not fully healthy, the cerebral part of it is there. 0:43:44.480 --> 0:43:46.880 Anthony Barr is in these meeting rooms with Dan Quinney, 0:43:46.880 --> 0:43:49.279 these linebackers in these you know, the secondary and the 0:43:49.320 --> 0:43:52.200 defensive line, and he's saying, hey, here are the tendencies 0:43:52.320 --> 0:43:55.120 is for Aaron Rodgers. So from a Cowboys standpoint, not 0:43:55.239 --> 0:43:59.040 only do you have McCarthy, but you also have Anthony Barr. 0:43:59.160 --> 0:44:01.680 So those are two side of the coin. But flipping 0:44:01.719 --> 0:44:04.160 back to the McCarthy standpoint, guess who You're not only 0:44:04.200 --> 0:44:06.920 looking at McCarthy having experienced with Rogers. You're looking at 0:44:07.000 --> 0:44:09.759 Rob Davis and you're looking at Joe Philbin and you 0:44:09.840 --> 0:44:12.840 know they're like he said, there are ten assistant coaches 0:44:12.880 --> 0:44:15.239 on his staff that was with him, that were with 0:44:15.360 --> 0:44:18.480 him in Green Bay. That's a lot of recognition as 0:44:18.520 --> 0:44:21.759 far as you know, remembering whatever Robs can do. Yeah, 0:44:21.840 --> 0:44:24.879 so there's some high level intel. Let's put it that way. 0:44:24.880 --> 0:44:27.520 There's some high level intael being dropped in these defensive 0:44:27.560 --> 0:44:31.160 and offensive meetings about Aaron Rodgers, and that that should 0:44:31.200 --> 0:44:32.920 help the Cowboys. I don't think it needs to be. 0:44:33.719 --> 0:44:35.960 I think that the issues that Aaron Rodgers is going 0:44:36.040 --> 0:44:39.160 to have with the Dallas Cowboys, then Quinn has is 0:44:39.200 --> 0:44:41.279 the personnelity. I'm just saying it helps. Yeah, No, it doesn't. 0:44:41.280 --> 0:44:43.640 It does not, It does not. I totally agree with 0:44:43.760 --> 0:44:45.800 you that he has the knowledge and that if he was, 0:44:46.760 --> 0:44:49.200 if he had any other type of defense, that he 0:44:49.400 --> 0:44:50.960 might need to go over there and have a conversation 0:44:51.000 --> 0:44:52.640 with him. But I'm sure he probably peeked over there. 0:44:52.640 --> 0:44:55.040 I was like, hey, DQ, you you need if you 0:44:55.120 --> 0:44:56.600 need it, you know, I got it. And DQ was like, 0:44:57.040 --> 0:45:00.279 I know, coach, but we're good. Yeah. So one of 0:45:00.360 --> 0:45:03.000 my favorite stories you've ever told me about your playing 0:45:03.080 --> 0:45:06.960 career was when you were on the Giants against the 0:45:07.040 --> 0:45:09.880 Patriots and the Super Bowl and you were yelling at 0:45:09.920 --> 0:45:14.040 Tom Brady from the sideline. Isaiah stand Back yelling at 0:45:14.120 --> 0:45:18.880 Tom Brady. I don't think going into that game, anybody 0:45:19.000 --> 0:45:22.000 on the radio booth was saying that matchup between Isaiah 0:45:22.040 --> 0:45:25.680 stand Back and Tom Brady is gonna be my marking 0:45:25.760 --> 0:45:29.360 matchup to watch because Isaiah wants revenge against Tom Brady 0:45:29.520 --> 0:45:31.040 and he wants to get that Super Bowl ring and 0:45:31.160 --> 0:45:34.239 doing so. But it's different this time because you've got 0:45:34.360 --> 0:45:38.040 ten assistant coaches and the quarterback who's a Hall of 0:45:38.080 --> 0:45:41.719 Famer on the other side in Aaron Rodgers. That's a 0:45:41.880 --> 0:45:44.600 much more intriguing matchup as that was all but and 0:45:44.719 --> 0:45:49.160 you were yelling your your your butt off. But the 0:45:49.280 --> 0:45:55.080 thing is coach McCarthy's he he gets to walk into 0:45:55.120 --> 0:45:58.680 that stadium. Was so much swag. Yeah, yeah, especially because 0:45:59.800 --> 0:46:02.920 big it's not even just that, just their biggest asset 0:46:03.719 --> 0:46:08.040 against your biggest asset, your defense, their biggest threat, Aaron 0:46:08.120 --> 0:46:12.000 Rodgers versus your biggest threat, your entire defense. Yeah, and 0:46:12.600 --> 0:46:15.040 you know that he doesn't have the personnel to do it, 0:46:15.680 --> 0:46:17.640 and you know that your boys are coming off of 0:46:17.800 --> 0:46:20.560 one week off, and you know that your boys want 0:46:20.640 --> 0:46:23.480 to get this w for you. When I go back 0:46:23.480 --> 0:46:25.279 to college, when I was playing for the University of 0:46:25.280 --> 0:46:28.960 Washington and Tyrone Williham became my coach. We played Order 0:46:29.040 --> 0:46:32.120 Dame that next year. We wanted to destroy No Order 0:46:32.200 --> 0:46:34.839 Dame because of that. I had my best passing game 0:46:34.920 --> 0:46:37.120 that game because I was playing for my coach, like 0:46:37.160 --> 0:46:39.040 I was so amped up, and I knew how important. 0:46:39.040 --> 0:46:41.279 He would never say how important it was, but I 0:46:41.360 --> 0:46:43.439 knew how important it was, dam So I was making 0:46:43.480 --> 0:46:45.279 sure that I was putting my best behavior. I was 0:46:45.320 --> 0:46:47.919 putting my best effort for it, playing through whatever, throwing 0:46:47.960 --> 0:46:50.040 the best balls spots like I was so intent on 0:46:50.360 --> 0:46:54.880 destroying Order Dame. Because of that, this whole team is 0:46:54.920 --> 0:46:57.239 going to have that same attitude, that same vibe, because 0:46:57.320 --> 0:47:01.040 this is their leader. I agree. Saw McCarthy fighting back 0:47:01.080 --> 0:47:03.560 tiers earlier this week in the press conference. The players 0:47:03.600 --> 0:47:05.960 see that, they see that, yeah, you know, and that's 0:47:06.000 --> 0:47:07.960 just going to make them want to really dig. They're 0:47:07.960 --> 0:47:09.880 going to be going here, but you know, so like 0:47:10.000 --> 0:47:12.560 you said, but the defense, this is a defense also 0:47:12.640 --> 0:47:17.920 that Lafleura doesn't know, right, But this is a quarterback 0:47:17.960 --> 0:47:21.839 in Amon Rodgers that McCarthy plus eleven if you count 0:47:21.840 --> 0:47:25.759 Anthony Barr plus eleven very well. So I'm simply saying, 0:47:25.880 --> 0:47:28.759 while they shouldn't eat that, it's always better to have 0:47:29.080 --> 0:47:31.960 that insight into Cowboys coming off of their first forty 0:47:32.000 --> 0:47:34.839 burger of the twenty twenty two season. They're only forty 0:47:34.880 --> 0:47:37.839 burger of the twenty two season. I'm not doing it yet, 0:47:37.880 --> 0:47:41.239 don't right then, the Green Bay Packers, coming off of 0:47:41.320 --> 0:47:44.400 a nine point outing against the Detroit Lions and a 0:47:44.520 --> 0:47:47.359 defense that has not been very good. Both teams could 0:47:47.400 --> 0:47:50.120 not be going in different directions in this matchup that 0:47:50.200 --> 0:47:54.680 we just talked about of the Cowboys offense. Patrick and 0:47:54.760 --> 0:47:57.400 the Cowboys have a little bit of arrests in between 0:47:57.520 --> 0:48:00.400 there too, so could not be going in further directions. 0:48:00.400 --> 0:48:03.480 But we're gonna give our predictions tomorrow on Talking Cowboys, 0:48:03.520 --> 0:48:05.840 presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company that does it for 0:48:05.960 --> 0:48:09.719 us today for Chris Bean, Isaiah Stanback, Patrick Nosi walk 0:48:09.760 --> 0:48:12.040 around Kyle Yoman saying so long, We'll see tomorrow with 0:48:12.239 --> 0:48:16.160 more Talking Cowboys.
