They never really found that bounce 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:23.200 back period. But what I will say is I remember 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.440 being in the locker room after the Jacksonville game, and 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:30.360 I mean that loss probably hurt them more than any 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:32.520 one of the season. You know, I think the Packers 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.520 was very similar, but the Jacksonville one just felt like 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.480 they were in a funk for a while, whereas today 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.320 I felt like they were a lot more fresh, They 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.000 were a lot more open to speaking. I know, I 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.120 spent a lot of time talking to Jaron Curse you 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.120 did as well. He had a lot of spring in 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.240 his step, which is really important. I think he's become 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.880 one of the big leaders on this team. So it 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.400 was positive to know that they recognized that they didn't 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.840 play their best ball. They identified why they hadn't played 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.040 their best ball, and they're ready to put that in 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:01.480 the past. 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:02.840 And they feel really confident. 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:04.520 I mean, jay Ron, even when I asked him, I said, 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.160 where's your confidence level at after that game? And he goes, 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.680 I'm thinking, I'm trying to think of a way that 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:12.359 I can put this in the best way. I'm trying 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.680 to think of the best number. But I can tell 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:15.160 you it's. 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.320 Over one hundred percent. So I mean, at the. 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:19.600 Very least, they're feeling good. 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:21.000 They're in a much better spirit. 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.440 And again, as he pointed out, as we've pointed out, 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.240 they haven't lost back to back games this season, so 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:26.880 that gives me a little bit of confidence as well. 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.000 Yeah, Haley, he said we didn't have a lot of 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.120 time for woe is me, and that's true, And he 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.200 also said that this is sort of an opportunity for 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.920 everyone to reset, and I think all of us kind 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.359 of do that, right, even we just did a lot 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:38.720 of that, a lot of us at the new year. 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.919 It doesn't really mean much that it turned from twenty 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:42.880 twenty two to twenty twenty three, but sometimes you sort 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:47.360 of need a mental reset to say today and moving 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:48.520 forward is going to be different. 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:50.000 So let's hope that's what the Cowboys do. 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.120 But before we dive in, let's talk about the daunting 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:56.360 task of overcoming and drawing a team like Tom Brady. 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.280 That's why I thought trying to improve their seating was 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:00.920 so important, because because I think it would have been 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.320 better if they'd gone through the other bracket, right, because 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.840 then you would have avoided going through Tom Brady. Tom 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.880 Brady has seven to zero in his career against the Cowboys. 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.400 We've talked a lot about that this week leading up 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.919 to the game. Most wins without a loss by any 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.120 QB versus the Cowboys all time. Brady has never played 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.080 the Cowboys in the postseason, but he's three to zero 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.960 against Dak Prescott in his career. And this was another 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:26.440 crazy little stat that we had earlier. Tom Brady since 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:30.280 two thousand has eleven times more playoff appearances than the Cowboys. 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.560 He has more playoff He has. 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.520 As many playoff appearances thirty five as the Cowboys in 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.240 their entire franchise history. 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:39.280 So this is a guy that knows what the postseason 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.520 looks like, how to win in the postseason. 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:43.480 But you know we've been talking about this is a 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:48.760 different Tom Brady this season. He's actually logging worst ever 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:52.000 and a lot of statistical categories. I just still this 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:58.800 is a guy I don't think you overestimate, underestimate. I 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.840 think more importantly for the Cowboys, and I think they 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.960 talked about this a little bit today, Mike McCarthy, this 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.600 game is gonna come down to you. Less about trying 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.240 to beat Tom Brady and more about not beating themselves. 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:14.560 Yeah every week, yea, yeah, yeah, And I feel like 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.200 they beat themselves with the same mistakes. You have the 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:20.560 mental focus, the pre snap penalties, of course I bring 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.720 that up, right, but you also have just it seems 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.440 like the miscues and the miscommunication is something I always 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.920 go back to. But it shows when they're all confused 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.919 and schematically, nobody knows what's going on. Guys are missing 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.520 their routes, nobody knows what they're doing. It's just so 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.479 obvious when they are in their own heads and beating themselves. 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:42.160 But yeah, I mean, this is a what's interesting is 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.799 is I started to deep dive into Tom Brady because 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.920 specifically throughout this season, because it's very easy to get 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.720 caught up in the historic tom Brady. Like you said, though, Jane, 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:52.800 this is the first time he's going into the post 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.000 season with a losing record in his career. So I 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.279 got a little curious because all we keep hearing about 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.680 is how this isn't the same Tom Brady. Well why 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.240 is that? I started deep diving into all eighteen weeks 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:07.360 of the season for the Bucks. The only trend I've 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.000 noticed is this Bucks team will score in the second 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.839 half of these games, so fourth quarter specific fourth quarter 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.760 and the first time that they scored touchdown in the 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:17.920 game in the second half. That was eight games, five 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.520 of which that they won. They scored the first touchdown 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:25.360 in seven games this season against any opponent, one being 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:29.120 against the Cowboys, but they scored first four times that 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:29.600 they won. 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:31.760 So this is going to be a game of who 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:32.559 can score first. 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.880 And specifically, I'm not talking about kickers, because their kicker, 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.000 he has had a season, he has been put to 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:41.000 work time and time again. But I'm saying, you have 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:42.960 to score touchdowns in this game. You have to be 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.479 active in the red zone. You have to make sure 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.120 that if you're the Cowboys and you get that possession 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.840 first or whenever you get your first drive, you are 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.000 scoring that touchdown, because that is going to start to 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.279 help you slay that Tom Brady dragon early on. 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.040 So you're saying ten to three and outs in a 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.960 game is not with the Cowboys or Amy tom Brady. 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.920 Please, no, no, you you brought up the point about them. Well, 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:05.960 I've really been looking, like to you, I've been looking 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.640 at their offense and just how different it was. It 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.760 is from even at the beginning of the year. 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:12.480 But really, when. 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.040 They can play at the Cowboys because they run, they 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.560 could run the ball. Their offensive line, just like the Cowboys, 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.279 has taken a lot of hits, and I know they 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.760 possibly are going to be getting some guys back here soon, 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.240 but it's really their inability to take to run the 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.839 ball puts a lot of pressure on their offense to 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.680 have to pass. So coming into this game, I really 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:31.640 feel like that's that's what they're gonna intend to do. 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.920 And even so, even what they're passing, they're gonna try 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:35.800 to do intermediate stuff. They're trying to get the ball 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.000 out of his hand quickly because throwing down field is 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.160 just not the most conducive because you don't want him 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.760 getting lit up, so him don't like that. 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.240 So uh, that's that's. 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.280 Really what is different to me with this offense specifically 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.000 now from the last time you played them, is that 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:54.480 they ran the ball very easily for the most part, 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:56.279 and you couldn't. 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.279 Sorry, I mean that sounded terrible, didn't it, Barnacles, Yeah, 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:01.800 not like this is very dramatic. 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:03.800 Oh no, it was a bit to be dramatic, but no, 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.360 you couldn't run the ball, well, you didn't run the 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.600 ball because Ezekiel Elliot ran the ball fairly decently last night. 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.640 I watched it last night and I was like, oh, 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.760 and then it was just passing the ball, passing the ball, 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.120 and then their linebackers told you they knew the plays 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.480 that you could tell that all defense knew what was 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:18.960 going on. 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.720 I talked about this on our show earlier. 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.440 To your point about the run game, they want to 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.600 establish the run. They want to be a run first game, 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.680 but they want to be able to run efficiently. 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:30.720 And when you start seeing them move away. 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.120 From the run game, it's because they're not being able 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:33.720 to do it efficiently, and they're not being able to 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.160 do it efficiently lately because of some of the offensive 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.720 line shifts. And you know, sometimes we're watching the game, 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:43.240 we're not really looking closely at chech, why things are collapse, 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.920 why the pocket's collapsing, why the run game's not getting going, 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.160 And as was it explained to me, not having Tyler 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:53.240 Beyotdish there really is a problem because it's not just 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.040 Tyler Beyotdish. When you've got to pull Tyler Beyodish out 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:57.840 of the game, you're putting Connor McGovern in a position 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.000 that he doesn't play that much. Then you're moving Chase 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.480 Peter's to a position that he's barely played the season, 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.600 and then you're asking your rookie to kick out, you know, 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.280 kick inside rather to left guard, while Peters goes to 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:11.240 left tackle. And so three different guys that are typically 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.720 not on that line. It's their fourth offensive line combination 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:19.880 this season. It creates a problem for communication. And then 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.800 what they're noticing across the line is these last minute 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.320 defensive line shifts. So they're showing you a look like, oh, 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.880 I'm gonna rush through the B gap or the A gap, 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.680 and then they're quickly changing it, and that offensive line 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.959 in the runners can't adjust in time. And apparently that's 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.000 been a problem a lot this season with some of 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.920 the injuries. But I was told Tampa is particularly good 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.319 at doing a defensive line shift at the last second. 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.760 And then the linebackers for Washington were running right at 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.760 the run back the running backs. I was told, the 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.080 problem when you're dealing with Tampa Bay is these guys 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:50.960 are really physical. 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:52.160 They're really aggressive. 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.080 So if you are aggressive as a running back, you're 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.200 gonna get beat on some swim they'll swim move on you. 0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.040 And so that they're saying. 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.560 You know, the message to the running backs this week 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:05.160 is be patient, have a good base underneath you, anchor 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.360 make sure it's all about the fundamentals. And I think 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:09.560 all of us kind of think it's kind of a 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.000 throwaway when they talk about it, simplify, get back to 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.640 the fundamentals. But when they've lost games like the Packers game, 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.720 we've talked about their response, remember it was after that 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:19.040 we just got to get back to the fundamentals and 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:23.080 then they laugh bad, right, yeah, And so it's a 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.400 possibility to do it here because for the reasons we've 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.160 talked about, Tom Brady is a bit of a boogeyman 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.800 as it relates to the Cowboys, but he's also doing 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.280 things he's never done before this season, things that have 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.520 been uncharacteristic of him. And we were even kicking around 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.840 on media mash, this might be one of the worst 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.360 teams that Tom Brady oh has fielded. 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.080 Oh yeah, and especially when you're talking in terms of 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.600 the O line and the struggles they've faced this season, 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.120 because what's interesting enough is this is going to be 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:48.880 a game of. 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:50.160 O line against O line. 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.920 Really when you look at it specifically in that center position, 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.600 because the Bucks are also struggling with their center and. 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:56.440 What does that lead back to? 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.280 That leads back to the miscommunication that you've seen even 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.280 on the Cowboys the Balls, if you want to relate 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.360 anything to that. Tyler Biaddish was great with the communication 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.040 and that factor alone, taking that away that showed in 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.280 the Washington game. But the Bucks are dealing with the 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:12.600 same thing. I mean, Robert Hainsey also had an injury 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:16.280 that uh, Todd Bowles is being very mischievous about, and 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.160 that also brought up the question for Ryan Jensen, is 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.600 he coming back? There's been a lot of speculation. What's 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:24.600 gonna happen with that? Can he come off of IR? 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:25.840 He has to do by the end of the week. 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.200 So you're either going to be facing Ryan Jensen, who 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.280 is coming out of this IR situation being expected to 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.480 take all of these snaps in a full workload, or 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.520 you're gonna be facing a third string center for the Bucks, 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.360 which they don't really have other options. So to me, 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.480 when I look at this whole game, it's going to 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.920 come down to O line and O line specifically, which 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:46.439 center can communicate. 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:47.280 More and health the offense as a whole. 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:49.640 All Right, well, let's go ahead and take our first 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.000 break when we come back. We talked a little bit 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:55.040 of some of the offensive line woes. Let's talk about 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.560 some of the defensive challenges because in the last five 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.880 games we are not seeing pressure upfront. And what you 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.000 need to do with Tom Brady is make sure that 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:04.400 he's feeling pressure in the pocket. 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.160 So this is the week to do it, Cowboys players. 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.200 This is Girls Talk Voice Talk, brought to you by 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:12.040 Jigsaw Dating, the official dating app of the Dallas Cowboys. 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.400 We'll be right back at Jigsaw Dating. 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.480 We obviously want the Cowboys to bring that sixth ring home, 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.040 but to be honest, we're more focused on finding the 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.520 person who will put a ring on your finger.

The 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:52.040 Cowboys have had a number of injuries this season, specifically 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.800 to key starting positions, and look at them. They're still 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.800 twelve and five heading into the playoffs to face Tom 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.880 Brady and hopefully survive in advance. But as much as 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:02.440 we talked about the offensive line and some of their 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.920 struggles defensively, we've seen a lot of rotating on the 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:10.959 defensive line, particularly the interior defensive lineman. And as has 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.400 explained to me, I said, why aren't we seeing more 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.600 pressure on the quarterback lately? And I was told they're 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.160 not cohesively rushing as a unit. And some of that 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:23.000 is because of some of this interior line changes. Some 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:26.080 of that is on the one hand, you're finding out 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:27.800 who you've got and what they've got before you get 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.160 into the playoffs. Okay, so dan Quinn's doing a little 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.800 bit of a sample size there right. The other issue 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:36.680 is you've had injuries, right, But as I was described 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.080 to me, is when you've got these two interior defensive 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.560 linemen pushing the unit and you're not rushing as a 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:44.840 unit cohesively. You should be getting three to five steps. 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:46.320 That's what these guys should be doing. And what you're 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:50.640 doing is you are collapsing the pocket around the quarterback, 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.840 getting pressure to them instead of giving them time. And 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.400 so that's why in recent weeks we've seen Josh Dobbs 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.120 and Sam Howe looks so good. Is they got a 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:00.320 lot of time back there in the pocket. In the 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.320 last five games, the Cowboys are giving up ten more 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:06.720 points a game, and I think they they're averaging two 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.720 point eight less sacks, and so I think that when 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.040 you've got a guy like Tom Brady, this is the 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.680 week you need the pass rush to step up. This 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:19.360 is a guy who is going to hurt you with 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.560 his arm, and so I just thought that that was 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:24.120 really really interesting. We talked about the fact that Jonathan 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.000 Hankins is going to come back. That's going to be huge. 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.840 I think specifically when you consider you've got Leonard Fournette, 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.320 who Leonard Fournette has not had a huge season. 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.560 But when he's had moments, he's had moments had taken 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:34.600 advantage correct. 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:36.760 And I think it's also key that you're getting Layton 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:41.360 vandresh back right and so they have been missing key pieces. 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.040 And we'll get in the cornerback position to hear in 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:44.960 a little bit. But when we're just talking about that 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.720 sort of front seven, that's been one of the areas 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:49.040 of concern. I used to know, you look at a 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.160 lot of the tape, what are you seeing when you 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.240 look at that defensive front and some of the struggles 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:54.280 that they've had in recent weeks. 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.040 Now you mentioned it, you hit on the head. We 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.080 talked about it earlier this week. With the rotations sometimes 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:00.960 you have with Dank trying to figure out what he 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.920 has and what he doesn't have. He's been playing guys, 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.880 some of the gentlemen you see playing DT. Some of 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:08.920 them are better pass rushing, some of them are better 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.640 you know, actually too gapping or whatever. And you so 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.000 when he's doing these mixes and stuff, you have some 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.200 guys doing things that they're not accustomed to doing or 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.120 doing well. So with the injuries, you have to have 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.280 guys fill in also too. You have to think about 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.080 the amount of reps that guys are getting that they 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:26.600 typically maybe wouldn't have beginning before. So I'm looking at 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:30.000 obviously with them getting healthier, them having more flexibility there. 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:34.080 But Mike McCarthy mentioned just how important Layton vander Rush 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.880 is to this defense and he said something that totally 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.880 I totally forgot about is that he is the green dot. 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.480 And when he put in that put that in perspective 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:43.720 for me. 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:45.680 I thought about the fact he was like Malie Cooker 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.000 and Jay Ron cursive had to, you know, take the 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:49.880 green dot and when you look at even what's going 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.520 on with the secondary, the idea of Layton being able 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:55.120 to come in and man the front seven and the 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:58.280 secondary being able to just be quarterbacked kind of as 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:00.440 a unit again and not having a word those guys 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.440 having to worry about what's going down in the box. 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.439 I feel like that could also you know, you know, 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.720 I guess pivot the conversation from how the defense is 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:10.040 going to be defending the run and. 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.240 Stuff, because it's tricky when you've got guys in the 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:15.480 secondary that are having to come up front, set your 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:16.359 defense and then run. 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:18.159 Eric Weddle used to do it a lot for the Ravens. 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:21.119 I remember talking to him about that they don't have 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.080 a lot of guys doing that for a reason, and 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:24.760 jay Ron Curst did a great job of it. But 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.159 I think Mike McCarthy talked about, you know, Layton van 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.080 Rush had a great season. I remember when they were 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.400 sort of playing with Jaylen Smith wearing the green dot 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.280 and then they would send it back to Layton Vandrush. 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.320 But Layton does seem to have a really good handle 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:38.200 on this group. I think jay Ron Curst did a 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.600 great job. But I think it allows the flexibility. Because 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.560
