Speaker 8: We got our crew here. Tommy yarsh is joining us today.
Speaker 8: Ambers out today. She'll be back tomorrow. But today we
Speaker 8: got a lot of fun lined up for you guys.
Speaker 8: We'll talk a little bit about Jerry Jones and what
Speaker 8: he had to say this morning on the Fan. That
Speaker 8: was some interesting comments that came out of that, obviously
Speaker 8: coming off of last week's interview that he did with
Speaker 8: those guys over there at the fan.
Speaker 3: We'll also have some time with Brian.
Speaker 8: We'll go inside the mind of Brian brought us and
Speaker 8: as you saw when I mentioned we'd have some fun today,
Speaker 8: he shook his head yes. So my guess is he
Speaker 8: has some questions that are going to challenge us and.
Speaker 3: Maybe you can get us in trouble.
Speaker 8: We don't know. We'll see how that goes. And then obviously,
Speaker 8: well I have some questions for you guys. Maybe in
Speaker 8: the final second, we'll see how we get there. We'll
Speaker 8: also take some calls if you guys want to call
Speaker 8: us eight eight eight five five two two ninety seven.
Speaker 8: It's a good day to give us a call, so
Speaker 8: we'd love to hear from you. In the third segment,
Speaker 8: let's start first with Jerry Jones this morning, he was
Speaker 8: on one on five dot three the Fan and there
Speaker 8: were lots of things that were said. I think the
Speaker 8: most important one that jumped out to me and I
Speaker 8: think if you look around at least X and see
Speaker 8: what people are talking about, it's really around the Derek
Speaker 8: Henry comments basically said I don't know if if he'd
Speaker 8: have had if he'd be having a career year in
Speaker 8: our situation, Derrick Henry didn't fit managing, didn't fit managing
Speaker 8: because of because of managing the cap. Essentially, he was saying,
Speaker 8: first of all, he doesn't think that Derek ken would
Speaker 8: necessarily be doing the same things here because of their situation.
Speaker 3: And I'll ask you guys what you think of that.
Speaker 8: But also he's saying that they didn't make the move
Speaker 8: because they were managing the cap. And I want to
Speaker 8: get into that a little bit deeper in just a second,
Speaker 8: but first, what are your thoughts on those comments?
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was. It's very similar to what he said
Speaker 9: in the in the past about Derrick Henry and why
Speaker 9: he was not brought in it. It's cap cap cap related.
Speaker 9: I think it was the first time though, that he
Speaker 9: had kind of led on to the fact that it
Speaker 9: might be Derek Henry might not be having the success
Speaker 9: that he's having in Baltimore this year if he were
Speaker 9: behind this line in Dallas. And it was a tweet
Speaker 9: that Jesse Holly had put out last night and he
Speaker 9: had asked, would Derrick Henry be having this type of
Speaker 9: success if he was running behind the Cowboys offensive line?
Speaker 9: And in my perspective, I'm thinking and I'm looking at it,
Speaker 9: absolutely not, he would not be having the production that
Speaker 9: he has that he's been having in Baltimore. But it's
Speaker 9: still probably a top ten rushing offense that you would
Speaker 9: have with Derrick Henry because there's not a better running
Speaker 9: back in the league that makes something out of nothing.
Speaker 9: And it was a further interesting that Jerry made this
Speaker 9: comment because Baltimore is also starting a rookie offensive lineman.
Speaker 9: Granted they're not starting two of them, but they're starting
Speaker 9: one of them. And you know, it's not been a
Speaker 9: perfect situation up front for them at times this year,
Speaker 9: and Derrick Henry has at times had to make something
Speaker 9: out of nothing. That was a play last night. It
Speaker 9: was a crack toss to the right and no one
Speaker 9: did their job. He bounced back left and it was
Speaker 9: a fifteen yard game. So I'm looking at it and
Speaker 9: I'm like, no, this guy would be just fine in
Speaker 9: the off.
Speaker 3: Can't those them out real quick?
Speaker 8: Because i mean, Nick and I were having this conversation before,
Speaker 8: and I've heard others take that took that from what
Speaker 8: Jerry said. I actually took a different approach because when
Speaker 8: he said it, he also mentioned the number of carries
Speaker 8: that they've given the backs, and my thought was he
Speaker 8: was alluding more to the fact that they haven't really
Speaker 8: used their run backs as much as at Box doors. Yeah,
Speaker 8: so they haven't been able to use as much, and
Speaker 8: that's why he was saying that he doesn't think he
Speaker 8: was having the same production. Not necessarily offensive line. You
Speaker 8: guys agree with that or do you think it was
Speaker 8: really more about the offensive line.
Speaker 9: I do agree with that, but I think there are
Speaker 9: multiple third and one, second and four situations this year
Speaker 9: that they thrown the ball when they didn't need to
Speaker 9: if they had a reliable running back. They're handed off
Speaker 9: to Derek ki.
Speaker 8: Well that fumble that could have been disastrous in the
Speaker 8: Pittsburgh game, right, you probably give that Derek Henry.
Speaker 3: He probably boils his way into the end zone, right.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I wish that they would just come out and say
Speaker 11: that they didn't think Derrick Henry was good enough. That's
Speaker 11: where I wish that I think this was at. I
Speaker 11: don't think this has anything They talk about the money
Speaker 11: and all that stuff like that, maybe the Pro Department
Speaker 11: didn't evaluate Derrek Henry Henry in a way that he
Speaker 11: was still good enough to play. I think that's something
Speaker 11: we're not really focusing on right now. And if that's
Speaker 11: the case, well then it looks wrong with that evaluation.
Speaker 11: But to me, this seems like, you know, when you
Speaker 11: start to talk about he doesn't you know, it doesn't
Speaker 11: the number of carries, the offense and all those things.
Speaker 11: I just wonder if there was in the Pro department
Speaker 11: if when they sat down and said they evaluated their backs,
Speaker 11: that they didn't think that Derek Henry could still play,
Speaker 11: you know, I mean, if that's you know, to me,
Speaker 11: I would accept it. The cap thing could I feel
Speaker 11: it can always be proven false. You know, you could
Speaker 11: always kick the can and always put money down the
Speaker 11: road and all that and and kind of talk about
Speaker 11: that way. But I've sat in the Pro department chair before,
Speaker 11: you know, and you've made evaluations on players and you're thinking, like,
Speaker 11: don't think this guy can help us? You know, if
Speaker 11: that's the case, just say it. Then then you know
Speaker 11: then you're wrong that way about it. It's more it's
Speaker 11: more of a like, well, they just misevaluate teams, misevaluate
Speaker 11: guys all the time. I'd be really interested to see
Speaker 11: if that's the case.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 8: Let me ask you this, do you think cause it's
Speaker 8: my belief and I was one of the people that
Speaker 8: was ringing the bell for this. Yeah, after the Zeke deal,
Speaker 8: I said on this air multiple times, I think in
Speaker 8: today's NFL it is a it is a bad decision
Speaker 8: on the whole for teams to invest money in aging
Speaker 8: running backs. Sure, do you think that maybe this was
Speaker 8: a philosophical because by the.
Speaker 11: Way, and by the way, I would appreciate Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, But what I'm saying is, do you think that
Speaker 8: it's not just the Cowboys. I think around the league
Speaker 8: this year, what you're seeing right now is a resurgent
Speaker 8: of these second contract running backs, especially nobody predicted, like
Speaker 8: you go down the list and I wrote this down,
Speaker 8: like you got Henry Barkley, Jacob's Dobbins, Pollard, all these
Speaker 8: guys are guys, Aaron Jones mixing, Like you got all
Speaker 8: these guys that everybody was like, I don't know if
Speaker 8: I'm with them, this guy second contract, and all of
Speaker 8: a sudden, these guys are lighting up.
Speaker 11: The philosophy got a lot of teams in trouble.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wonder if that was it.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Dallas Cowboys are not the only team to misevaluate players.
Speaker 11: There there. There are other teams around the league that
Speaker 11: are sitting in the same thing. You know. There you
Speaker 11: look at the guys that are running the football right now.
Speaker 11: There wasn't a time and I and when I first
Speaker 11: started one O five the fan and when I was
Speaker 11: with you, you know, on with my show, on with
Speaker 11: the g bag nation, fighting for balance for Dak. Don't
Speaker 11: want Dak throwing the ball forty five times a game.
Speaker 11: Don't want got to run the ball?
Speaker 10: Got it?
Speaker 11: And then the argument was from the analytics people, any
Speaker 11: run is a wasted play. Any run is a wasted play.
Speaker 11: Why you're running it on first down? Why you're running
Speaker 11: on second down? Now, my show argues with me about
Speaker 11: philosophy that I was. I admit it. I'm a old
Speaker 11: school player. I believe. I believe the running game punishes people.
Speaker 11: We've seen it three losses here. It affected your owner
Speaker 11: today when you listen to him talk talking about how
Speaker 11: those losses and things like that. To me, I believe
Speaker 11: in the running game. I've always believed in the running game.
Speaker 11: But the analytics people wouldn't let you believe in the
Speaker 11: running game anymore. And now what's happened is teams have
Speaker 11: gotten smaller defenses have gotten smaller. We're playing eleven person now,
Speaker 11: Oh my gosh, we're dealing with all these wide receivers
Speaker 11: and all that. Now what we're doing. Everybody's smaller. Now,
Speaker 11: what do you do? These backs? Every one of you
Speaker 11: mentioned what's their common thread. They're all tough, They're all
Speaker 11: physical runners, and that's a problem for defenses that are small.
Speaker 11: So this is just coming back around, and you know,
Speaker 11: and your philosophy is like, we don't want to pay
Speaker 11: a back, we don't know, don't pay one and see
Speaker 11: what happens to you. You know, But if you have
Speaker 11: a physical running back in this day and age, you
Speaker 11: could hurt people with that because you look at how
Speaker 11: teams are built defensively. Everybody's small. College football has made
Speaker 11: us all with these we do the draft show, Well,
Speaker 11: how big is he Nick Hey's two hundred and thirty
Speaker 11: eight pounds, that's rushers, one of the best in the nation.
Speaker 11: Two thirty eight huh okay, yeah, how big is that
Speaker 11: runner that was running last night for Yeah?
Speaker 9: Well, no, I remember that conversation about him. Henry Okahry
Speaker 9: is the linebacker. I thought you were talking about a
Speaker 9: rookie that is proving himself.
Speaker 11: Yet what I'm saying you all of a sudden, you know,
Speaker 11: Nick is telling me the virtues of this edge rusher
Speaker 11: from Alabama that's two hundred and thirty eight pounds. What
Speaker 11: am I gonna do when I see him out there?
Speaker 11: Let's see you play this run there? Son, Yeah, you.
Speaker 3: Know, get off this tackle and there.
Speaker 11: Yeah, this is where it all went bad for a
Speaker 11: lot of teams. These backs. I watched Joe Mixon play,
Speaker 11: and I'm going God, Joe Mixon looks the same as
Speaker 11: he did in Cincinnati. Cincinnati just gave up on him.
Speaker 11: It's philosophy. Everybody's now different. And now know what's happened.
Speaker 11: Teams with smaller defenses are getting punished because of it
Speaker 11: in the running game, because of these bigger backs and
Speaker 11: the and and I think Dallas. I think Dallas got
Speaker 11: caught in a philosophy thing. If you tell me you
Speaker 11: got caught on philosophy, I believe because I always feel
Speaker 11: like there's a way you could sign players. I always
Speaker 11: feel like there is a way.
Speaker 9: Two year, sixteen million dollars.
Speaker 11: Always feel like a kid, you could kick the can,
Speaker 11: you could do what you have to do. I'm sure
Speaker 11: the guys upstairs are listener right now, and they're mf
Speaker 11: and be for doing that, for saying that, But there's
Speaker 11: always a way. These guys are smart, they know what
Speaker 11: they're doing. But the thing about it is you're in
Speaker 11: a situation right now where philosophy might have got you
Speaker 11: in trouble with a guy that right now, and a
Speaker 11: lot of these backs, as you mentioned, are taking over
Speaker 11: in this league again because they're physical and they're hard
Speaker 11: to tackle.
Speaker 12: To piggyback off of the philosophy point, I think one
Speaker 12: of the more interesting things Jerry said today was has
Speaker 12: anybody thought about if you're not if you're going to
Speaker 12: invest a huge amount of money in a running back,
Speaker 12: you better plan on running the ball. Yeah, Dallas just
Speaker 12: isn't running the ball. Derek Henry alone has more carries
Speaker 12: than the entire Dallas Cowboys offense this year. Right, he
Speaker 12: has one hundred and thirty four. Dallas has one hundred
Speaker 12: and thirty three. Rico Dada leads the team with fifty nine.
Speaker 12: So it goes back to if Dereck Henry has fifty
Speaker 12: nine carries in this offense, are you seeing the same
Speaker 12: numbers that you're seeing with him in Baltimore. I would argue, yeah,
Speaker 12: because it's Dereck Henry and not Rico Dowbell. I would
Speaker 12: take nothing again, Freako doobtle. But I think you give
Speaker 12: Dereck Henry those fifty nine carries if he's on this
Speaker 12: roster and he's doubtle as the complimentary piece. But I
Speaker 12: don't know. I just feel like, you know, a guy
Speaker 12: like that on the roster, even if he has fifty
Speaker 12: nine carries, he's gonna make it count of like Nick said,
Speaker 12: make something out of nothing, even with two rookie offensive linemen.
Speaker 9: Could would should have, Yeah, Nick, might.
Speaker 11: It might not be Henry, It might be any one
Speaker 11: of those guys you mentioned.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right right, And that's what they were all of it.
Speaker 8: There were so many of those guys Scalable and and
Speaker 8: teams with some team took him, and he took them
Speaker 8: for probably less money than they would have taken it
Speaker 8: their at their original place. But the fact is they're
Speaker 8: all proving the fact that maybe you do have to
Speaker 8: rethink the philosophy of not paying second contracts to running
Speaker 8: backs because they're proven right now they can play.
Speaker 11: Look at the teams that are benefiting from these running backs.
Speaker 11: Look at their quarterbacks. I guarantee you every team that
Speaker 11: has one of these back or these running backs and
Speaker 11: is committed to trying to run the football, let me
Speaker 11: tell you what. You'll get real committed to football if
Speaker 11: you got Derrick Henry and he's slamming it in there
Speaker 11: for five point five yards of carry, You'll be really committed.
Speaker 11: If you're passing off like you wanted to twenty sixteen
Speaker 11: Cowboys with Ezekiel Elate. You know, okay, rookie back, rookie quarterback.
Speaker 11: I get it. Running the football helps the You know,
Speaker 11: Dak was playing well. You know, I think he would
Speaker 11: have played well even with Zeke maybe not being a
Speaker 11: sixteen hundred yard back. But what happened there. Every time
Speaker 11: Scott Linehan called a play, it was second and four
Speaker 11: second and five second and four second and three first down.
Speaker 11: You know That's what I'm saying. You get you get
Speaker 11: a back that could that could hammer that thing in
Speaker 11: there and get you four or five yards every single
Speaker 11: time you hand it to him. That makes your play
Speaker 11: caller better, That makes your quarterback better, you know. And
Speaker 11: that's what they don't have right now. They don't have
Speaker 11: that ability to help their quarterback be better in down
Speaker 11: a distant situation.
Speaker 8: Do you think that it's it's a matter of they
Speaker 8: don't have the guy, or do you think it's a
Speaker 8: matter of.
Speaker 11: They're they're behind.
Speaker 3: And I even think for the games that they're behind.
Speaker 8: I think one of the reasons why they're struggling so
Speaker 8: much with trying to protect the quarterback is the fact
Speaker 8: that teams aren't respecting the run game because they don't
Speaker 8: give them a reason to. They open the game and
Speaker 8: they from start a game, they're throwing the ball, throwing
Speaker 8: the ball, throwing the ball where they haven't really committed
Speaker 8: to we're going to establish a run and by the way,
Speaker 8: that means sometimes we may not get what we want
Speaker 8: out of it, but we're going to be committed to it.
Speaker 11: You're struggling up front. Your right tackle is not playing,
Speaker 11: your right guard is not playing. You got a rookie
Speaker 11: center that doesn't you know, he's learning how to play
Speaker 11: second level ball. You get an all pro left guard,
Speaker 11: he's having to play left tackle because the left tackles
Speaker 11: learning curve is too steep. You've got a lot, You've
Speaker 11: got a lot of moving parts going on, and you
Speaker 11: got tight ends right now that really aren't great point
Speaker 11: of attack blockers. They went out and spent a lot
Speaker 11: of money on span Ford and to try and go
Speaker 11: get a physical blocking tight end, but they don't get
Speaker 11: there's never a new situation where they can come out
Speaker 11: and run the football, where they could just run the ball.
Speaker 11: Pittsburgh was the best example of they have a little bit.
Speaker 11: The game was closed, they were able to kind of
Speaker 11: the way he call plays the third and six toss
Speaker 11: to dabble around the end. Brilliant call. I mean, if
Speaker 11: it works, you're like whoa. And if it doesn't work,
Speaker 11: you're like what, yeah, you know, But at least it's
Speaker 11: that it's the threat of popping a run and getting
Speaker 11: a first down like that in a in a key
Speaker 11: moment he gets twelve yards on the play. Yeah, it's
Speaker 11: a great call.
Speaker 8: Real quick before we end the segment, give me an
Speaker 8: update on what he had to see about Deron Bland
Speaker 8: and Michael Parsons this week and what they are their
Speaker 8: possibility of playing.
Speaker 9: Yeah, tell me you got it.
Speaker 12: Yeah, Deron Bland and Michael Parsons, Jerry said, would be
Speaker 12: likely game time decisions. So he said he talked to
Speaker 12: the trainers earlier this morning and said, we're kind I
Speaker 12: kind of have to see how they go through practice
Speaker 12: the next couple of days. Players are off today, so
Speaker 12: but likely game time decisions for both of.
Speaker 11: Those guys in San Francis. I would I would, I
Speaker 11: would hope for Bland and I think that your linebacker
Speaker 11: edge is going to be limited all week that he
Speaker 11: will probably be practicing with that practice and excuse me,
Speaker 11: he'll be working with Britt Brown. That one seems that
Speaker 11: one seems a little more dicey than what the situation
Speaker 11: with Bland. We've also thought Bland was going to be available. Yeah,
Speaker 11: he hasn't been able, so but if there's going to
Speaker 11: be a chance, I think Bland's got a better chance
Speaker 11: than what Parsons has.
Speaker 3: I would agree with that. What are you hearing about,
Speaker 3: Kaylen Carson?
Speaker 11: You know what I haven't asked about because.
Speaker 3: It's almost like that when.
Speaker 8: When he first went out, I was thinking a game
Speaker 8: or two and it's kind of just gone longer, and
Speaker 8: it just it makes me think, like, what did we.
Speaker 3: Not ask because it seems like that that's going a.
Speaker 8: Lot longer than maybe I thought it would have. Obviously,
Speaker 8: I'm not a doctor and I wasn't looking at him.
Speaker 13: Uh.
Speaker 8: But but I'm more interested now to see when he's
Speaker 8: going to be back, because I really think these are
Speaker 8: reps that that could really help the development. I mean
Speaker 8: as a young guy being able to be out there
Speaker 8: that once Bland's back, that's gonna it's gonna kind of
Speaker 8: go away a little bit.
Speaker 9: Another thing, if you signed Derek Henry, you would have
Speaker 9: had a healthy Kaalen Carson the last three.
Speaker 3: Weeks, right, because he wouldn't.
Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely all right, let's take our first break when
Speaker 8: we come back. We're to go inside the mind of
Speaker 8: Brian Brods. We'll do that when we come back Dascot Radio.

Speaker 8: s WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. The segment's brought
Speaker 8: to you by blockchain dot Com. All right, Brian, let's
Speaker 8: go inside your head.
Speaker 3: What you got?
Speaker 10: All right?
Speaker 11: How about this, Tommy. We'll start with you on the one.
Speaker 9: Bang right, initiate the rookie right.
Speaker 11: Off the gump. We'll see if you're going too good
Speaker 11: at this now I'm just kidding, you're probably really good
Speaker 11: at this. What's something you hoped would change for this
Speaker 11: squad but doesn't appear to be happening.
Speaker 9: M hoped would change?
Speaker 11: I mean something you hoped would change for the squad
Speaker 11: but just hasn't appeared. It hasn't happened.
Speaker 12: I would have hoped that DAK and CD at this
Speaker 12: point in the season would have found some kind of
Speaker 12: rhythm together, and it just seems like, you know, we're
Speaker 12: six games in and there's been no sign of improvement.
Speaker 12: In that fact that there's been no sign of a
Speaker 12: click or a connection. There's still you know, miscommunicating on routes.
Speaker 12: I think the most glaring one was where I think
Speaker 12: it was CD was supposed to run out to the side.
Speaker 3: On the vertical right.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it looked like to me there was a safety
Speaker 11: in the middle of the field. I don't think Dak
Speaker 11: wanted to throw him the ball there. Yeah, and CD
Speaker 11: didn't see it. I don't think he saw it the
Speaker 11: right way.
Speaker 12: Okay, but yeah, I mean that if if Dallas is
Speaker 12: going to throw the ball as much as they want
Speaker 12: to do, and those two can't get on the same page,
Speaker 12: it's not gonna go well, I don't think so that
Speaker 12: would be my answer, boss Man.
Speaker 3: Mine would have to be Rico Daubdle.
Speaker 8: I really thought if the Cowboys would use him that
Speaker 8: I thought they are running game would be a lot
Speaker 8: better than it's been. And my personal belief, I still
Speaker 8: believe they have. They just haven't been willing to commit
Speaker 8: to it. And I think if they do. I think
Speaker 8: they'd get more out of it because there has been
Speaker 8: one game when they've done it and it actually did work.
Speaker 8: It wasn't a world beater, it wasn't something that was
Speaker 8: going to be up there with the best running backs
Speaker 8: in the league, but it was more than serviceable to
Speaker 8: keep this offense moving. And I think that's what that's
Speaker 8: what I want to see more of. But to this point,
Speaker 8: it just hasn't happened.
Speaker 9: As a young evaluator, I've learned my lesson Brian. I
Speaker 9: put a lot of faith into this rush defense coming
Speaker 9: into the year because they added so much depth at
Speaker 9: the linebacking corps. I was looking at it on paper,
Speaker 9: top five line linebacking corps in the league. You can
Speaker 9: look at what the experience of youth, the athleticism, but
Speaker 9: it doesn't matter if you don't have anything upfront. And
Speaker 9: so I expected this rush defense to be better than
Speaker 9: it's been and just not showing any improved.
Speaker 3: Jump in our house.
Speaker 8: Real quick on that note, coming into this year is
Speaker 8: for everybody to table. Did you think the rush defense
Speaker 8: problems were more about the linebackers or the defensive tackles.
Speaker 9: I thought it was more about the linebackers. Last year,
Speaker 9: I thought it was about only one healthy linebackers.
Speaker 11: Yeah, year, I thought it was the edges. I didn't
Speaker 11: feel like that they were very.
Speaker 9: Long as had an awesome season last year.
Speaker 11: When you look when you looked at team on the
Speaker 11: right edge, to me, that's where I worried because over
Speaker 11: there at the time, it was like Armstrong Fowler. I
Speaker 11: was worried about. Sam Williams is who I was really
Speaker 11: worried about. And I thought, if you added the linebackers
Speaker 11: and maybe the safety play in your corner, I thought
Speaker 11: it would be better. But it really hasn't been. And
Speaker 11: it's what's unfortunately lea excuse me, uh our edge from
Speaker 11: Western Michigan got hurt marneel and yeah, Neiling got hurt,
Speaker 11: and so now you lost that. He looked like to me,
Speaker 11: he was kind of going the right direction playing over there.
Speaker 11: But man, I I see what you're saying about the linebackers.
Speaker 11: That to me was that was very very That's questionable
Speaker 11: the way they played that thing last year.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I.
Speaker 12: Would agree with think that the linebackers was probably the
Speaker 12: thing that I was looking at the most. And then
Speaker 12: you bring in a guy like Kendricks and you kind
Speaker 12: of see now why he's so important to have there.
Speaker 12: I mean, you asked last week, you know, what's the
Speaker 12: one guy on the defense you want back, and I
Speaker 12: said Kendricks, because he's going to be your tackling machine
Speaker 12: and get guys to the ground. So just something they
Speaker 12: didn't have last year.
Speaker 8: You know, I think those are all positions of that
Speaker 8: we worried about. But I still think it started up front.
Speaker 8: And I think frankly, the best one technique they had
Speaker 8: on the team last year was no longer here in Hankins,
Speaker 8: and I don't think he played particularly well in some games.
Speaker 8: Some games he didn't play well, And so that's where
Speaker 8: I think the defensive for me, the defensive tackle was
Speaker 8: still going to be the issue, and my only hope
Speaker 8: was that Mazzi would consistently be seeing That was my hope.
Speaker 11: This is where this is where the answer and you
Speaker 11: could talk about the position, but this is where it
Speaker 11: really is about Mazzi, you know, because you're saying something
Speaker 11: you were hopeful that was going to be better and
Speaker 11: it just isn't better right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 11: It's just I mean, he had won that flash game
Speaker 11: where you're watching him play and it's like, man, Okay,
Speaker 11: maybe he could carry this over.
Speaker 3: Got ut.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you get excited about it and it really just
Speaker 11: isn't It's it's a lot of the not as bad
Speaker 11: as it was last year, but it's just not where
Speaker 11: it needs to be. Yeah, but you're right about the
Speaker 11: defensive tackles that group, Derek Well beating a banged up
Speaker 11: forty nine ers squad do anything for you? Is that
Speaker 11: just what the Cowboys do?
Speaker 3: Hell?
Speaker 8: Yes, Hey, I don't style point wins, And as you
Speaker 8: say all the time, Brian, nobody feels sorry for you.
Speaker 8: This team has been dealing with injuries all season, and
Speaker 8: injuries to some of their best players. So no, I
Speaker 8: don't feel sorry for them going up to San Francisco
Speaker 8: after what the Cowboys have been, how the Cowboys have
Speaker 8: performed in that stadium over the last several times they've
Speaker 8: been there. I don't care who's playing, I don't care
Speaker 8: who's out. If Dallas goes up there and gets a win,
Speaker 8: it matters. It's a good win.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I agree, especially Sunday night game.
Speaker 11: You really didn't want to read you want to, but
Speaker 11: I do.
Speaker 9: Agree that this is ahead.
Speaker 11: What's the argument if you if you don't think it's
Speaker 11: what's the argument that saying that, Like, I don't think
Speaker 11: it's a good win.
Speaker 9: Well, the banged up I think it's pretty I think
Speaker 9: it's just pretty straight line.
Speaker 11: So you're saying, you're saying San Francisco banged up. If
Speaker 11: you beat them banged up, it's not.
Speaker 9: I'm not saying that. I was just thinking about it.
Speaker 11: But but if you argue that point because you were
Speaker 11: thinking about it, I was thinking about it. Okay, if
Speaker 11: you're thinking about it, tell me what tell me the
Speaker 11: argument you would have clarification.
Speaker 9: This is not my point, but I will. I would
Speaker 9: argue with me.
Speaker 11: That's what I said. I want you to. I want
Speaker 11: you to tell me why his point's wrong. Because you
Speaker 11: thought about it.
Speaker 3: I thought he did.
Speaker 9: I thought about it. I would say by.
Speaker 11: I clip this for him later and then just tweeted
Speaker 11: out that he's a hater.
Speaker 9: It was a tweet. There was a tweet lest that
Speaker 9: where we were talking about it in the break and
Speaker 9: I was I showed Tobby last night. He's like the
Speaker 9: healthiest skill player for the forty nine ers was shot
Speaker 9: in the chest two months ago. I'd be like, this
Speaker 9: is a banged up squad and he's a rookie. On
Speaker 9: the same token, you have Jordan Mason, who's the second
Speaker 9: year guy undrafted. I mean, it's just kind of been
Speaker 9: a group effort and brock Perty has been putting some
Speaker 9: compromising situations. And you look at the teams that they
Speaker 9: have lost to up to this point as well, and
Speaker 9: the games that they have played. It's not the forty
Speaker 9: nine ers you saw in Week five last year. I
Speaker 9: think we can all agree to that. Yeah, but I
Speaker 9: think on the same token. Now, this is my point. This,
Speaker 9: this is my point to clarify. You're still going Sunday night,
Speaker 9: Week seven playing the forty nine Ers, the team that
Speaker 9: has been your boogeyman over the course of the last
Speaker 9: three to four years. At the very least, it doesn't
Speaker 9: matter if it's Tommy Yars playing quarterback for these guys,
Speaker 9: it could be. It's a confidence booster. It's a confidence
Speaker 9: booster because you beat the forty nine ers, you can
Speaker 9: move into the next stretch of your schedule with that
Speaker 9: one in your back pocket.
Speaker 8: Okay, So here's the deal for anybody out there that's
Speaker 8: going to compare injury reports. Yeah, oh no, you can
Speaker 8: talk about yeah, yeah, but you've lost Dallas has lost
Speaker 8: both the defensive ends, by the way, one of them
Speaker 8: is one of the best defensive ends in the entire
Speaker 8: National Football League. You've lost one of your starting cornerbacks,
Speaker 8: you've lost your middle linebacker, you've lost your start your
Speaker 8: starting wide receiver. Yes, they're banged up. Dallas is justice
Speaker 8: banged up. I don't think there's a team out there
Speaker 8: that Dallas that has less injuries to major players on
Speaker 8: their team than Dallas. And so again, I don't feel
Speaker 8: sorry for anybody Dallas is dealing with the same thing.
Speaker 3: A win is a win is a win.
Speaker 9: If anything, it's kind of matched up because this defense
Speaker 9: is really banged up and San Francisco's offense is really
Speaker 9: banged up. So you're gonna kind of see that depth
Speaker 9: tested for both sides.
Speaker 12: Tell me what about it, well, man, I mean everybody
Speaker 12: took my points basically.
Speaker 11: Now we're just like talking. Yeah, that's why I asked
Speaker 11: the first question.
Speaker 3: This is rank you he gets rookie treatment.
Speaker 12: I think Derek said it best. It's like, well, yeah,
Speaker 12: San Francisco is banged up, but so is Dallas. Not
Speaker 12: to be Tom Herman here, but wins are hard to
Speaker 12: come by, especially in the Nflan sorry, Tom, but wins
Speaker 12: are hard to come by in the NFL. You never
Speaker 12: apologize for getting a win. It doesn't matter if I'm
Speaker 12: the quarterback for the forty nine ers. If the Cowboys
Speaker 12: win that game, you don't apologize for it. Your four
Speaker 12: and three and they need that win. It's not a
Speaker 12: must win game, I don't think. I think there are
Speaker 12: very few must win games this early in the season.
Speaker 9: But I take that back, but this is a game.
Speaker 12: That that's going to stir up so much dat and
Speaker 12: momentum into what I think is going to be a
Speaker 12: really tough one on the road against Atlanta next week.
Speaker 11: Sure, I'm Derek. As soon as you said, I don't care.
Speaker 11: I appreciate you all those years of listening to me
Speaker 11: sitting next to you on a playing bitch about that
Speaker 11: we got to win this game, man, we gotta win
Speaker 11: this game.
Speaker 3: Nobody cares.
Speaker 11: I don't nobody cares. Nobody cares. It's gonna be like
Speaker 11: you know, it's gonna say, well it was a beat up.
Speaker 11: I don't care, don't care.
Speaker 9: Did you have done for that?
Speaker 11: Beam?
Speaker 10: All right?
Speaker 11: How about this one for you?
Speaker 3: Nick Uh?
Speaker 11: This one I wanted to know. How excited are you? Okay,
Speaker 11: I'm sorry, I'm sure this one I wanted to do
Speaker 11: for you. Best guess that you will, best guess that
Speaker 11: you will see something scheme wise after the buy for
Speaker 11: the offense, so like like.
Speaker 9: A scheme change necessarily my best guess towards it.
Speaker 11: Yeah, best guess.
Speaker 9: I like this. Oh man, this is I mean, I
Speaker 9: think the easy the easy answer would be just I
Speaker 9: think the easy answer would be motion, just because there's
Speaker 9: been so much talk about it and that's what happened
Speaker 9: post by last year.
Speaker 17: Uh.
Speaker 9: I think there's going to be a little bit more
Speaker 9: creativity in the run game. And here's why. I have
Speaker 9: a couple of couple of points that could lead to
Speaker 9: a little bit of confidence in that area.
Speaker 11: Owner didn't Psyche had too much confidence in the scheme earlier.
Speaker 9: Yeah, the confidence is that's a different scale.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I uh.
Speaker 9: Yesterday Mike McCarthy's press conference, well let's go back to
Speaker 9: last week. He said there were problems with how they
Speaker 9: were practicing. I asked him yesterday, followed up, Okay, have
Speaker 9: you gotten with your staff about how you guys are
Speaker 9: going to correct practicing situations? He said, we want to
Speaker 9: do more group settings. And for example, the example he
Speaker 9: put out is we need our offensive line. He said,
Speaker 9: for example, we need our offensive line to work as
Speaker 9: a unit in run block, and we need it. We're
Speaker 9: gonna take that to the practice field in the situation
Speaker 9: where we're not doing one on ones anymore. We're doing
Speaker 9: two on two s, three on threes. And so I'm
Speaker 9: thinking about it, and I'm looking at it. I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 9: if they want to be better in run blocking, then
Speaker 9: they are trying to be a more cohesive unit, which
Speaker 9: leads me to believe that there might be more a
Speaker 9: little bit more tweaks to the run blocking schematics in
Speaker 9: the sense that they can they want to get guys
Speaker 9: into the second level. Maybe help Cooper BB get into
Speaker 9: the second level with Zach Martin or with Tyler Smith.
Speaker 9: Have those guys kind of lead Gooper b B into
Speaker 9: that area until he can kind of do it on
Speaker 9: his own, you know, like walk until you can run.
Speaker 9: And I think on the on the end as well, Yes,
Speaker 9: Tyler Goeyton or I'm sorry, Yes, the tight ends have
Speaker 9: not been great at the point of attack, but they
Speaker 9: could still help Tyler Guidon a lot more than they
Speaker 9: have been, so maybe using that to to help with
Speaker 9: the run blocking schematics as well. I think you're going
Speaker 9: to see this team try to run the ball a
Speaker 9: little bit more effectively in San Francisco this week.
Speaker 12: About you, Tommy, I was kind of going to say
Speaker 12: something along the lines of getting tight ends on the
Speaker 12: on the side for guitting to help him out, and
Speaker 12: I think, you know, you look at hoping that these
Speaker 12: running backs can pass protect a little bit better. Sure,
Speaker 12: but since that was most of Nick's answer, I think
Speaker 12: they loaded the box up a little bit more defensively.
Speaker 12: I think they've just been getting a run over every
Speaker 12: single game they've played, especially in the San Francisco game.
Speaker 12: I mean, Jordan Mason's had a great year so far
Speaker 12: to start, and they've established the run really well. You know,
Speaker 12: it doesn't matter who's hurt for them on the outside.
Speaker 12: Kyle Shanahan's gonna run the ball, sure, and it doesn't
Speaker 12: matter who runs the ball for him. It could be
Speaker 12: me for all we know at this point, since Nick's
Speaker 12: basically coined me a forty nine er, they're going to
Speaker 12: run the ball really well. So I think, especially coming
Speaker 12: out into this game and you look at Atlanta too,
Speaker 12: with a guy like Bjeon Robinson. This is a team
Speaker 12: that I think needs to load the box a little
Speaker 12: bit more and you can see some benefices that for
Speaker 12: San Francisco with so many of their receivers out potentially
Speaker 12: for this game, Derek.
Speaker 8: You know, I think I think the natural answer is
Speaker 8: as Nick mentioned, was you'll see more motion, because I
Speaker 8: think that's what we saw last year. But I actually
Speaker 8: think one of the things I actually think I would
Speaker 8: do if I were the head coach is I would
Speaker 8: actually challenge those two guys on the right hand side
Speaker 8: of the offensive line, Zat Martin Terrence Steele, and I
Speaker 8: would say, hey, I know we've been struggling a little
Speaker 8: bit here. Certainly we've been struggling when it comes to
Speaker 8: pass protection. I'm gonna load this thing up, and I'm
Speaker 8: gonna let you guys power block, and I'm gonna let
Speaker 8: you guys go get after somebody.
Speaker 3: Can you do it?
Speaker 8: And I would actually power my running game behind the
Speaker 8: right hand side of this line with a challenge to
Speaker 8: those two guys and really try to get my running
Speaker 8: game established. I think that's something that is necessary for
Speaker 8: this team and the only way I think they're going
Speaker 8: to help get themselves out of the rut they're in offensively,
Speaker 8: particularly in the red zone, is to establish a running game.
Speaker 8: I would do it on the right hand side of
Speaker 8: the ball.
Speaker 10: I like that.
Speaker 11: I'll tell you what the thing different than the scheme.
Speaker 11: I think that he is going to I like what
Speaker 11: you guys are saying about the motion stuff. I think
Speaker 11: he's going to try and put get his guys more
Speaker 11: on the move. Maybe it's not and maybe it's not
Speaker 11: more all the way across. Maybe it's motion out, maybe
Speaker 11: it's short motion. Maybe it's out coming in and then running,
Speaker 11: getting into a bunch formations, scattering. He's got to create
Speaker 11: separation for his guys. Tree Eetman questions your route running,
Speaker 11: how that's been.
Speaker 3: By the way, Jerry agreed with that.
Speaker 11: This morning Jerry talked about Jerry did talk about that.
Speaker 11: He gave Troy a lot of credit. But the one
Speaker 11: thing that Jerry said was the separation aspect of it.
Speaker 11: And this is where I think that Mike McCarthy needs
Speaker 11: to try and help. You know, if you have guys
Speaker 11: that are struggling with routes, put them in motion and
Speaker 11: then allow them to play on the run. One of
Speaker 11: the great things about Ceedee Lamb at Oklahoma was his
Speaker 11: ability to play run after catch. So find ways to
Speaker 11: get him and others if they're having trouble getting off
Speaker 11: the line of scrimmage, and Jerry was talking about fighting
Speaker 11: through press coverage, fighting through those things. Don't make them fight,
Speaker 11: make them, let them, let them have a running start,
Speaker 11: don't make them play stationary football around here. You've got
Speaker 11: to find a way to get more of your guys
Speaker 11: playing on the movie. Doesn't have to be just full
Speaker 11: out motion all the time, but at least give them
Speaker 11: a chance to get a running start on these defensive
Speaker 11: backs and then maybe work that way.
Speaker 9: I'll tell you after that Lions game and the physicality
Speaker 9: of the secondary through on the Cowboys receiving core, they
Speaker 9: need Canadian rules to if I ever play with Lions,
Speaker 9: they need to be running forward now play.
Speaker 11: Yeah, exactly, that's it.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Derek ry good questions. All right,
Speaker 3: we're gonna take our final break. We'll come back.
Speaker 8: I got some questions for you guys. We'll talk a

Speaker 8: Welcome back, final segment of the Break live from the
Speaker 8: s WVC Mortgage studios at the Star.
Speaker 3: Let's get some some questions. I have a quest.
Speaker 8: If you guys who also have a phone line call,
Speaker 8: We'll get some calls. If you guys want to call
Speaker 8: some numbers eight eight eight eight five five two two
Speaker 8: nine seven. Let's take a call real quick from Randy
Speaker 8: out and San Antonio.
Speaker 3: Randy, what up, Hello?
Speaker 10: How's it going good? Are you hey? I got a question?
Speaker 10: I'm good. I got a question for Brian going going forward?
Speaker 10: Coming up. I feel that this team you've been talking
Speaker 10: about the running back situation and the D tackles, and
Speaker 10: I think going into next year, they're going to need
Speaker 10: two running backs and two D tackles. And I feel
Speaker 10: the players are available in the draft, and my question
Speaker 10: is about getting more draft capital here at the trade deadline.
Speaker 10: And I feel that with the injury to Hutchinson in
Speaker 10: Detroit that Michael Parsons should have some trade value and
Speaker 10: I was wondering how much could they get for Michael
Speaker 10: Parsons to get the extra picks that they need.
Speaker 11: Yeah, the problem is when you trade for a player
Speaker 11: like that, Thanks for the call. When you trade for
Speaker 11: a player like that, then you have to think about
Speaker 11: what they're willing to give up. But they're also they
Speaker 11: have to pay. There's going to be a huge he's
Speaker 11: going to command thirty five forty million dollars. So what
Speaker 11: you have to do is sometimes teams aren't willing to
Speaker 11: give you a whole lot because they're in a situation
Speaker 11: where they're like Okay, we're giving you a pick, but
Speaker 11: we've also got to pay the line share of this
Speaker 11: salary and.
Speaker 3: Pay their guy and he's going to still be there.
Speaker 11: With he exactly. That's the that's the problem. And so
Speaker 11: you know that, you know every team, you know, you
Speaker 11: look at, teams have been been very fortunate when they've
Speaker 11: moved players that they've been able to The teams that
Speaker 11: are the buyers, I think have gotten off pretty good
Speaker 11: with you know, with the way that they've they've given up,
Speaker 11: you know, given up assets to get I don't think
Speaker 11: there's you know, we've seen in the past, you know,
Speaker 11: oh for two ones and this, that and the other.
Speaker 11: I think teams are willing to if you really really
Speaker 11: want to make this deal, you're probably not looking at
Speaker 11: two ones here, you know, you're probably looking at a
Speaker 11: one and something else along the way.
Speaker 8: Uh does that change based on the time of the year,
Speaker 8: Like as you get closer to draft do you get
Speaker 8: to does it tend to be a higher premium on
Speaker 8: the picks you get versus end season.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think that's I think that has a lot
Speaker 11: to do with it. But like I say, teams just
Speaker 11: aren't willing Like if you're if you're willing to move
Speaker 11: on from Micah Parsons, then you know you're the seller here,
Speaker 11: you know, and teams are like knowing that you're going
Speaker 11: to be the seller.
Speaker 17: Uh.
Speaker 11: You know, if you ask for something that's ridiculous, nobody's
Speaker 11: going to buy. You've committed to selling, but you know
Speaker 11: you're you're now looking for the buyer, and the buyers
Speaker 11: are trying to get the best deal possible. And a
Speaker 11: lot of like I say, a lot of buyers for
Speaker 11: these players. Look, you know, look for these like some
Speaker 11: of these guys that have been moved, these star players
Speaker 11: that have been moved. It's been for some pretty reasonable
Speaker 11: stuff with the except I mean there's a quarterback or
Speaker 11: two that's been moving. I mean, what the what the
Speaker 11: Browns gave up, you know for the Shaun Watson and
Speaker 11: stuff like that is pretty But that's a quarterback position.
Speaker 11: I would say you're gonna shoot for two ones. I
Speaker 11: would say you're probably gonna get one in a one
Speaker 11: and something else if you were to go that route.
Speaker 9: You said something about Michael earlier on the show. I'd
Speaker 9: like to ask you about You said he's one of
Speaker 9: the best defensive ends in the league. Do you think
Speaker 9: he's one of the best pass rushers in the league
Speaker 9: or one of the best defensive ends in the league.
Speaker 9: I feel like there's a clear line there, and if.
Speaker 3: You feel like I'll put it to you like this,
Speaker 3: I'll put you like this.
Speaker 8: Most of the guys that have put in that conversation's
Speaker 8: best pass rushers. That's what you call the best defensive ends.
Speaker 8: And I don't know that they're necessarily the best because
Speaker 8: it's quite frankly, I think if you really say best
Speaker 8: defensive ends, DeMarcus Lawren should be a part of that
Speaker 8: conversation more. I just think all of us media, fans, everybody,
Speaker 8: the premium for an edge person an edge player is
Speaker 8: can you get after the quarterback?
Speaker 3: I think that's first and foremost so, so from.
Speaker 8: That standpoint, I would say holistically, knowing that pass rush
Speaker 8: is what he does best, I would say he's one
Speaker 8: of the best defensive ends, the best edges in the NFL.
Speaker 8: And you would say he's not the greatest in run support, Yeah,
Speaker 8: you know, I think they're ones that are better. I think,
Speaker 8: but I also don't think he's a liability in run support.
Speaker 3: I really don't.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I just like to say it's it's a it's kind
Speaker 11: of slippery slope that you that you walk because you think,
Speaker 11: because you have one of the best at a posit
Speaker 11: that you're going to get maximum value, and it just
Speaker 11: doesn't always work out that way because teams, teams are like, listen,
Speaker 11: we're going to have to pay him thirty five million
Speaker 11: dollars a year, you know, But how many teams are
Speaker 11: willing to do that? That's what you have to look
Speaker 11: at right there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, let's get a call from Terry out
Speaker 3: in Detroit.
Speaker 11: Terry, what up?
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, a long time listen our first time caller.
Speaker 15: Uh.
Speaker 4: I just want to say I think part of the
Speaker 4: offensive line problem is you got guys playing out of position.
Speaker 4: I mean, Smith is a left tackle, he should be
Speaker 4: playing left tackle. Sixty is a right tackle, he should
Speaker 4: be playing right tackle. Okay, BB centate center, put him
Speaker 4: where he belongs. Get yourself a true center that understands
Speaker 4: the position, and I think you can move forward steal.
Speaker 4: I will probably put him up on the trade block,
Speaker 4: get some draft picks if you can with him. And
Speaker 4: my big thing at I didn't hear the last caller,
Speaker 4: but I would probably trade Parsons too. I'll put him
Speaker 4: up on the draft because you can't. His numbers don't
Speaker 4: justify the paychecks. You know, his last game he had
Speaker 4: five tackles. Okay, all his sacks seem to come in
Speaker 4: the first quarter. There's no fourth quarter sacks other than
Speaker 4: the one against the Rams. I can remember that one. Uh.
Speaker 4: But I think persons is a waste of money. If
Speaker 4: you if you give him the money, he's just it's
Speaker 4: a waste. Okay. Then you're gonna sit there and say that,
Speaker 4: You're gonna sit there and say, oh, we can't you know,
Speaker 4: pay this guy because we don't have the money because
Speaker 4: this cap strapped.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 4: But I think the offensive line this year there is
Speaker 4: I think you got guys just playing out of their
Speaker 4: out of position is the key key thing there.
Speaker 3: All right, thanks for Carl guessing.
Speaker 11: I think BB is going to be a fine center.
Speaker 9: I think too.
Speaker 11: I mean, and I and I do appreciate the gentleman's
Speaker 11: thoughts though, because he's not wrong in some ways. I mean,
Speaker 11: if you think about, you know, the thing with man,
Speaker 11: you could go either way with Tyler Smith personally.
Speaker 3: He'll be great. I think it either one either.
Speaker 11: One, either guard or tackle. I mean, I I like
Speaker 11: what he did there.
Speaker 3: I do think bbe.
Speaker 11: The one problem I just had with BB is the
Speaker 11: is the twist game stuff everything else. I think he's
Speaker 11: really he's really done it, really a solid job for you.
Speaker 11: The pressures and things like that. I mean, he just
Speaker 11: gets a little too aggressive with trying to help and
Speaker 11: he needs to be a little bit more aware. But
Speaker 11: I think that comes with experience. Like I say, the
Speaker 11: thing with Geiton that is a that is massive. The
Speaker 11: learning curve is massive over there with him and the
Speaker 11: techniques and stuff. That's that's what's going to be an issue.
Speaker 11: But we're so accustomed to plug and play. We're so
Speaker 11: accustomed to whoever they draft in the first round plug
Speaker 11: and play and they're in the Pro Bowl their first year.
Speaker 11: You know, That's where we're at right now. With that,
Speaker 11: I think it's a good call. That really was.
Speaker 8: I want to throw this out real quick for for
Speaker 8: all those that have the opinion that Michael Parsons doesn't
Speaker 8: really provide for you what the money would say he
Speaker 8: would command. Just go watch the film when Mike is
Speaker 8: playing and see the amount of attention and resources that
Speaker 8: offense is dedicate to trying to stop him because I
Speaker 8: think that matters, and I would say that's to me,
Speaker 8: it's a bit of a failure on the level level
Speaker 8: of pass rush that they get from other players along
Speaker 8: that line that so much attention is paid to Micah
Speaker 8: and other guys aren't being able to get home and
Speaker 8: being able to affect the quarterback as they should. I
Speaker 8: don't think it's necessarily all Micah. I think it's more
Speaker 8: about the fact that teams are trying to take him out.
Speaker 8: They're doing whatever they can to to make him, take
Speaker 8: him out of that out of a pass rush game,
Speaker 8: and as a result, it's leaving opportunities for other guys.
Speaker 8: They're just not taking advantage of it.
Speaker 11: Running the football really hurts Micah because it takes away
Speaker 11: his ability to be a pass rusher.
Speaker 3: Slows him down, Yeah, slows him down.
Speaker 11: Well, it just the fact that they're running the ball
Speaker 11: with success and they're not throwing it. They're able to
Speaker 11: get they able to get first downs without throwing the football.
Speaker 3: They don't earn the right rushing past that.
Speaker 11: You saw what a really good pass rush did in
Speaker 11: Week one. It hasn't been that way since. It just
Speaker 11: hasn't because they've not gotten anybody into that mode. It's
Speaker 11: a pressure on Pittsburgh a little bit because the game
Speaker 11: was in the balance. But they this team, like I said,
Speaker 11: is I think it's built to be a pass rushing team.
Speaker 11: It's built to be a third down team when it
Speaker 11: comes to their pass rush. You know, we'll see about
Speaker 11: the coverage aspect of it.
Speaker 9: I've heard that point about Micah not showing up in
Speaker 9: the fourth quarter a couple of times. Just to quickly
Speaker 9: debunk that. Twelve sacks in the fourth quarter of games
Speaker 9: in his career out of forty and a half coming
Speaker 9: into the season, that's thirty percent of his sack So.
Speaker 3: It's come in the fourth quarter, right right, So I
Speaker 3: don't know, not really equitable. He's struggling more in the
Speaker 3: fourth quarter.
Speaker 8: Yeah, all right, as a rot, I appreciate you guys
Speaker 8: join us, Tommy, thank you for joining us today.
Speaker 3: Tom We'll be back tomorrow, tomorrow, all right, Yeah, gotcha.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he can show how does the rookie show up
Speaker 8: and not bring food, especially the show where we love food.
Speaker 3: We're gonna be back tomorrow.
Speaker 8: We'll talk about the forty nine Ers Cowboys will match up,
Speaker 8: how they will match up, Starting with the forty nine
Speaker 8: Ers offense versus Dallas defense. Tiled in for Nick Harris,
