1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: How how challenging will this Cowboys offensive to defend this weekend?

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty challenging. Um, if we do you

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: know what we're what we're closed to do, do everything right,

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: which is nobody's perfect. But when we do everything right,

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 1: do do our jobs, then all right, Kyle, What do

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: you see from Dalkin Schultz when you watch him one day? Um?

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: I think he does a lot of things well. Um,

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: he has a little bit of savvy, um, good route runner,

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: physical enough. Um, he did a lot of a lot

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: of things at a at a good level. So it

11
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: SE's pretty recutile just to make sure I'm doing I'm

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be. Do you guys have a strong second

13
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: half in Houston? Can you carry that momentum over to

14
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: another opponent or is it just tweek to week? Yeah,

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: I mean I think momentsum just all in the preparation.

16
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, Um, we know what

17
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: we're capable of doing, so that when we see, you know,

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: the capability of the defense kind of makes sense. He

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: gives us momentum in a way, But at the end

20
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: of the day, it's about how we prepare and were

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: close to do. Do you like the Cowboys, Bronup. Who

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: who would you like? Um, I was the Falcons guy

23
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: just being from the Georgia hometown team. Do you have

24
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: to m with Pollard man Elliott? Do you have to

25
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: identify who's in the backfield? Because are they not assume

26
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: that polo talpers should go faster than we'll? Both of

27
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: them do a lot of both receiving and Russian, So, um,

28
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: we definitely are aware of both, but they they're very

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: similar in the way that they do both at a

30
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: pretty good level. They both can receive by the backfield

31
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: and our threats in that way, so we definitely have

32
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: to have awareness, but they're very similar. They obviously can

33
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: attack in a bunch of different ways, but they went

34
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: over two hundred yards Russian last week. How important is

35
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: it to sort of slow that on the down because

36
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: I obviously where that comes to play action or there's

37
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of stuff at open Yeah, So stopping

38
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: the run it's always, you know, always a big key

39
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: because like it makes the one dimensional and then we

40
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: can do that, it'll make things easier. So that's definitely

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: a key stopping the run and not letting him have

42
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: two hundred yards. How much you relish being up in

43
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: the box there and having to take on some of

44
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: those bigger bodies and hope that process. I don't mind it.

45
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's not always the best, but if it

46
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: helps the defense, I think it does. I don't mind

47
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: it at all. Dane was calling himself a trash man

48
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: yesterday for his work in the box. Not gonna ship

49
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,839
Speaker 1: out an old lignement. Are you? Are you trash man too?

50
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna have let him add that one

51
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: got a new nickname. But I try. How would you

52
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: describe how physical the Cowboys are offensively? Crop? Um? I couldn't.

53
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 1: I say they're they're they're pretty physical. Um, I can't

54
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: really measure it. It's hard to say because I'm looking

55
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: at it from a back end standpoint. But they're they're

56
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: pretty physical. Their old lines good talented, they're tight ends. Um,

57
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna be blocking out a point of a tech.

58
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: They're good at the point of a tech. So I

59
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: think they're they're pretty physical. Being in such a veteran

60
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: possession group, do you find yourself still learning from from

61
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: Devon and Adrian a daily business every day like? But

62
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: but I kind of I'm embracing that I love doing

63
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: that and I'm very like blessing the fact that I

64
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: can just kind of I can't really go wrong. And

65
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: who I ask, whether it's the coaches or my or

66
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: my teammates, what kind of lessons are you picking up

67
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: from that? Just so awareness seeing things when you use

68
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: certain tools um in the back end, and what to

69
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: look for, you know, how to watch film everything like

70
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: it's that overall experience and stuff that you don't necessarily

71
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: see when you're just trying to make sure you're doing

72
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: everything right schematically. But just the awareness of seeing things

73
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: and with a use tool and things like that. So

74
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: you're going to think it's both pole running backs you

75
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: can catch out of the backfield, like it's being into

76
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: how much does they keep you you know, as as

77
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: a safety just fund your toes to be sort of

78
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: constantly aware and where they are plays. Um, I don't

79
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: think it. I think it keeps the awareness about the

80
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: same live I think you know to play to play well,

81
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: you have to have their warnings on every play. So

82
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: I don't think it changes I think or to anything.

83
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: It kind of just um maybe slows you down a

84
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: little bit as far as being aggressive tourists. You know

85
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: certain looks and just kind of going right to it.

86
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: You kind of have to be more patient, you know,

87
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: for things like check down the screens. But other than

88
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: I think the warnings has to be the same. You

89
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: mentioned film study and those guys helping you with that

90
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: was that I'm taking your back now a year. What

91
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: was that like an eye opener for you coming into

92
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: here and having a watch film and the like that's

93
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: they do it a little different or did you have

94
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: that sort of background coming in. I watched a lot

95
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: of film. I think the biggest thing that I learned

96
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: was kind of just the difference between where I was

97
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: coming from and how to watch film. And really, I mean,

98
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's you're studying the guys.

99
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: You're studying you know who they are as a player,

100
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: and you're studying defenses. But it kind of changes because

101
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: the tips don't necessarily always look the same, and things

102
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: change from week to week, especially depending on what kind

103
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: of defense they're facing, I mean, who they're going again,

104
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: So you kind of got to take that into play.

105
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: How many of those tips are something an individual player

106
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: might reveal, you know, like the way you standing or

107
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: body ling versus hey, when they're three by one and

108
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: whatever down the distance is more of a telling a

109
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: smaller tel or is it like a bigger picture offense thing.

110
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a smaller tail, depending on

111
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: where you are and the situation, of course, but usually

112
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: it's one of those things that as you study, if

113
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: you study enough, you'll see it. You can't really look

114
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: for it because if you, you know, find find yourself

115
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: looking for you might force it. So you can just

116
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, I gotta see it like game

117
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: Winly you're just waiting like an aha moment. Every day

118
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, there it is. God. How much pride

119
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: do you guys take in being a defense that plays

120
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: a lot of man to man I think a lot

121
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: of it just at the end of the day when

122
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: you play man coverage, just you and that guy you're

123
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: playing against. So no, it's the competition is a little

124
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: different every play, and I think you have to have

125
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: a lot of pride, and we definitely take a lot

126
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: of pride in doing that. I'm trying to do it

127
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: at a high level. Do you think it is one

128
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: of the advantages being able to do Does it simplify

129
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: things at all? For you guys, does it allowed the

130
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: defense to play a little bit faster if you if

131
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: you you know, you have your assignment and you're just

132
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: trying to stick to that guy um in that end

133
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: coverage situations, yes, because you're just you know, playing your man.

134
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: But at the same time, the awareness and you have

135
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: to still have to have your ears opening, like sure

136
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: you listened to the checks and things like that, So

137
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: I think it does help you play a little faster,

138
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, you still got

139
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: to hear everything and see everything. One more question, what's

140
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: you like covering Henry and practice? What's it like? Yeah,

141
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: it's never it's really good competition. I actually have grown

142
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: a lot. I feel like being able to cover him

143
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: every day and the way he runs, his drive, to

144
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: way he does things prepares me a lot or a

145
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: guy that I see on Sunday, So I enjoyed. Thanks

146
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: for those good mergen give a year or something now,

147
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: he said,
